MANAGING THE FUTURE NUTRITION “I really wish I would have done this earlier.”

Kevin Maloney of C.C. Young Retirement Community says that is the phrase he hears most often from clients he has met through his work. Unfortunately, when it comes to planning for our advanced years, many of us would rather bury our toes – and our heads – in the sand. But no matter how difficult it is to face questions about the future, the time to take action is now, rather than waiting until a crisis may force difficult or unexpected choices.

tachments to their neighborhoods and their homes. Familiar things like the view from the back porch or even a finicky doorbell can seem like old friends. Sometimes sentimental feelings cause us to overlook the financial impact of staying in a house too long.

“People don’t realize how much it really costs to live at home,” Maloney says. “Most of the folks that move into a community like ours (C.C. Young) have been in their home for quite a few years, and it’s probably paid for. But when you consider taxes, utilities and maintenance, it is still very expensive to live in that ‘free’ home.” When people budget, Maloney says, they usually leave out big expenses like replacing a water heater or a roof. But in a house that is twenty or more years

Whether we deserve it or not The thing about Thanksgiving is that most of us have so much to be thankful for, that we aren’t thankful.

I know that sounds impossible, ungrateful even, but it’s not unusual. Think about it: The better off we are, the more likely we are to take what we have for granted rather than consider it a gift or a blessing.

We have it. We deserve it. What else is there to say?

Maybe that’s why holidays such as Thanksgiving and birthdays and Christmas and Valentine’s Day come around once a year — they’re here to poke us in the ribs about how lucky we are to have what we have, whatever that may be.

That “memory jogging” isn’t just triggered by holidays. Sometimes, life causes its own reset, often at the most unexpected time and in the most unexpected way.

Nine years ago, shortly after a peaceful holiday season, I visited a doctor for a checkup. Nothing was wrong, nor was anything expected to be wrong.

A blood test showed elevated levels of a marker that generally means one thing: cancer. Since I had successfully been treated for testicular cancer 15 years earlier, that was a mental connect-the-dot moment for me and the doctor — maybe my cancer was back?

More tests ensued, along with more visits to specialists. Even as I made the trek from one medical professional to another and from one machine to the next, my mind wandered. Why hadn’t I signed up for life insurance when I had the chance?

Why couldn’t the doctors figure out the problem? And the ever-present, why is this

happening to me?

It took a few weeks of handwringing before a verdict was in: The doctor who seemed to know the most said I probably had brain cancer, and I needed to start chemo right away to keep it from spreading.

I shuddered. Literally. The body blow came from nowhere.

My mind disengaged, and I thought sorrowfully about the chemicals that would soon be seeping into my body, trampling healthy cells while looking for cancer. I felt sorry for myself, not because I deserved better but because I didn’t think I deserved this.

Luckily, my wife remained level-headed, even as I didn’t. She questioned the doctors more thoroughly than I could, and she figured out the guy was guessing — there was no proof of cancer, just a strong suspicion based on a single blood test that kept coming back irregularly.

So at her insistence, I didn’t start chemo or any other treatment. Instead, we found a renowned testicular cancer doctor in Indiana (the guy cured Lance Armstrong) who suggested that maybe all I had was an irregular blood test that didn’t mean anything at all.

It turns out he was right. After nine months of mental terror, with monthly blood tests to chart progress, right before Thanksgiving I found out that there was not — and never had been — anything physically wrong with me.

It was all just a huge, horrifying misunderstanding.

So when I need a reminder about how good I have it these days, and after all this I inexplicably need that reminder almost daily, I don’t have to wait for a holiday to remind me.

I just focus on that bullet I dodged, a bullet that was never even fired, and my heart automatically skips a beat again. And again. And again.

As a teenager, my encounters with the principal were limited to his telling me I’d be suspended if I didn’t take my nose ring out.

So when I was invited to be Principal for a Day at Hillcrest High School, I thought I’d be sitting behind a grand oak desk and making phone calls to parents who needed to come pick up their misbehaving children. I was wrong on all counts.

Principal Ronald Jones walks the halls of the building and cracks jokes with the students, cheers them up when they look downtrodden and says the occasional, “Boy, what did I tell you about pulling up those pants?” The thing is, though, he knows their names — both the good and the “bad” ones, who don’t really seem that bad.

The day started with Jones presenting a PowerPoint on Spot Observation Rubrics, which administrators perform after stepping into teachers’ classrooms. Jones gives teachers grades based on performance and their ability to show how their students can demonstrate what they’ve learned.

The purpose of all this is to stay in line with Superintendent Mike Miles’s Destination 2020 plan. The plan calls for eight different key efforts, from improving the quality of instruction to revamping the Department of School Leadership and its function.

If they succeed, by 2020, 90 percent of all DISD students will graduate on time and 80 percent of students will enter college, the military or be “career ready” straight from high school.

Q&A: Meridan Zerner Whether you’re a foodie or simply enjoy a good meal, the holidays flood the senses with delicacies that can be nearly impossible to resist. We enlisted Preston Hollow resident Meridan Zerner, the Cooper Institute’s co-director of nutrition, to tell us when we should or shouldn’t keep our salivating lips sealed.

During the holidays, is there really a way to enjoy all the house parties, family dinners, school potlucks and the like without sacrificing your sanity?

Define “sanity” [laughs]. Seriously, though, of course we can manage holiday parties, but it takes a mindful plan — a strategy! For each of us, there’s a certain amount of calorie accountability — an amount that allows us to maintain or lose weight in a healthy way.

Find out that number. Then, we budget for those parties and, along with exercise, nutrition’s trusty sidekick, we can stay on track to maintain our health. Maybe try the new plate model at myplate.gov. Recreate that plate with half being full of vegetables, and you have a reasonable 500-calorie meal.

What if the sight of a brown sugarglazed ham is too hard to resist and someone finds himself of herself putting on a couple pounds, where do you go from there?

We all gain and lose a few pounds throughout the year. Our bodies are designed to fluctuate a little, but when those few pounds become three, four or five, then it’s time to rein it in! The temptation is to be extreme or radical in “reining it in,” and that never works. Diets that eliminate food groups, are extremely low in calories or don’t allow for real world circumstances have a very high failure rate. We recommend that people start again with a good night of sleep (there is a great science to the sleep/weight management connection), eat a protein-plus-carbohydrate breakfast and plan out their 150-200 calorie snacks so they can eat frequently through the day.

Add exercise, even minimally to start, and you have a recipe for success.

Is there an upsurge of people participating in fad dieting after the holidays, and is there truth to the benefits of any of them such as the Paleolithic diet?

Fresh Christmas trees ready for you

The post-holiday season is notorious for new and wacky diets finding their way onto store shelves. Some are better than others, and some are downright irresponsible. We don’t want to compromise other aspects of your health on the way to weight loss, especially when you can do both — lose weight and improve health.

U.S. News and World Report reviews diets each year. The 2012 report featured 22 experts who reviewed and ranked some of the more well-known plans on the market. The Paleo diet did not rank very well.

In spite of good concepts like “consume less sugar” and “eat more fruits and vegetables,” this diet eliminated dairy and grains (even whole grains).

What is the best way to get through the holidays and still look good come spring?

Plan for dietary indiscretions by cutting back on calories elsewhere. Include at least five fruits/vegetables each day to help with fullness, fiber and overall health — even in the face of that triple layer chocolate mousse Yule log cake.

Don’t starve yourself before a party — it will likely backfire. So have small, healthy snacks leading up to the big event. Don’t leave the cookies and treats on the counter because those nibbles add up, too! Commit to at least the minimum amount of exercise (five days a week, 30 minutes a day). This helps to maintain your muscle mass, improve your mood and burn off a few of those sneaky seasonal calories. —Monica S. Nagy

FIVE MORE TIPS FROM MERIDAN ZERNER 1 Eat every three hours — a small meal or snack — and try to combine carbohydrate foods with a protein when possible.

It is possible to overeat even the healthiest foods, so measure the oil, the nuts and the avocado!

The other woman Six years ago Preston Hollow resident Nanci Masso received the news that her husband, who was out of the country for business, died after suffering a massive heart attack following a jog. He had no previous health problems. Dec. 13 marks the seventh year after her husband’s death, which left the mother of five and grandmother of six a widow after 28 years of marriage. Masso, now 56, looks like a woman to be envied with her thin frame and sparkling eyes — eyes that still water a bit when she speaks of the highs and lows that followed his death. “I went into phases where I’d shut down and put my head in the sand,” she says. “Then I’d fall into the all-work pattern,” she says of focusing her attention on the real estate company she and her husband operated. There are about 13.7 million widows in the United States alone, and Masso didn’t want to be another woman halted by grief, so she joined Widow’s Journey. Joy Kirsch, a wealth planning and financial coaching adviser, started the nonprofit in 2011 to give back to the community and touch the lives of women she may not encounter in her office every day. The group of about 20 women of all ages meets at Park City Club the second Tuesday of each month. Masso says she tried grief counseling, but until Widow’s Journey was not able to find a place that coupled the emotional, financial and friendship help that the nonprofit provides. “There are all sorts of stages you go through, and you can’t hurry the process,” she says. “We can help women deal with the different stages.” She’s now a member of the board of directors, and offers her perspective and experience to other women so that they may one day do the same. “I think it’s healthy for widows to talk about it in the same venue with others who have been through the same thing,” she says. Masso says the women in the group are trying to coin a new word for “widow,” as it has a negative connotation. They are playing with the term “the other woman.” As she says, “You are another woman after this happens.” —Monica S. Nagy

Pumpkin tastes and treats

A

decade ago, owner Owedia Alvarado and her husband took over Stein’s Bakery after working there since 1989. The recipes she uses are the same as the founders used in 1863. “We stay pretty traditional to what historically worked,” Alvarado says. Though the bakery is famous for its cheese pockets, petit fours, and cinnamon and cream cheese coffee cakes, around this time of the year they bake their pumpkin bread. The spiced bread looks like a pound cake and comes topped with a cream cheese frosting, if that’s your thing. It’s available through the end of Thanksgiving. “I love what I do,” Alvarado says. “I try to make people happy.” —Monica S. Nagy

Have a cup of cheer

Anne Amie Cuvée A Amrita ($15) Oregon A lot of wine writers don’t like writing about holiday wine. They think it’s beneath them, too pedestrian for a writer who should be above all of that. That is just plain wrong-headed; the holidays are the best wine time of the year, when even people who don’t drink wine figure it’s OK to have a glass or two. And, perhaps, if they enjoy that glass or two, they’ll drink wine more often.

Here are a few ideas for wine for this holiday season: H[Z0 Ridge Three Valleys ($20) is a spicy, almost sophisticated zinfandel from one of the best producers in California and is a great turkey wine. Rene Barbier Mediterranean Red ($5) is a simple but well-made Spanish wine that delivers more than $5 worth of value.

M^_j[ m_d[0 Anne Amie Cuvée A Amrita ($15) is an Oregon blend with 10 grapes that delivers the quality I expect from Anne Amie, fresh and lively with a hint of sweetness, and is another turkey possibility. Domaine Guillaman ($10) is from the Gascon region of France, and resembles sauvignon blanc more than most of the other $10 Gascon wines that I enjoy, but it is still well worth drinking.

IfWhab_d] m_d[0 I’ll have more on this next month, but if you want some bubbly for Thanksgiving, almost any Spanish cava will do. They’re inexpensive — between $7 and $15 — and are food-friendly and very easy to drink. Cristalino and Segura Viudas are longtime favorites, but this is a category where you can buy something you don’t know and will be fine.

—Jeff Siegel JEFF SIEGEL’S WEEKLY WINE REVIEWS appear every Wednesday on prestonhollow.advocatemag.com

Ask the wine guy Q. Are there wine pairing rules for Thanksgiving?

A. Dozens, but you can safely ignore them. Serve what you like, keeping in mind what your guests like. The idea is to have fun, and not to intimidate anyone.

Remembering a unique era in air travel, when it was all glitz, glamour and questionable practices Story by monica S. Nagy | Photos by Danny Fulgencio and Can Turkyilmaz

In 1952, Helen Adair’s future took flight. Clad in a light blue skirt-suit and hat, her poised and prepped body stepped onto a DC-3 Braniff plane with 21 passengers, and she began her journey as a hostess in the sky.

Braniff “hostesses” took their first flight June 1, 1937, and today, a group of Preston Hollow women still buzz about their years of travel through Clipped Bs, an organization formed by former Braniff flight attendants who reflect on the “good years.”

Flying in the 1950s and ’60s was all luxury, style and class. Pilots greeted pristinely dressed passengers as they boarded. Beautiful hostesses donned fashion-forward mini dresses and high-heeled boots, served up cocktails and chefprepared lunches, and when one of them delivered the seat belt instructions, people actually listened.

Nov ember 2012 pres tonhollow.advocatemag.com

21

Back then, women in their late teens and 20s clamored for a flight attendant job, typically available to about one in a hundred applicants. Many of the successful ones still live in Dallas because it was the headquarters of Southwest, Braniff and American.

As a Clipped B, Adair speaks of the years she worked as a glamorous flight attendant with a starting salary of $199 a month. It was a time when “hostesses” (what Braniff called the ladies) knew all their passengers by name, and people took pride in the way they looked, says Adair’s friend Rhea Maguire.

Braniff’s bubble helmet from 1965

Maguire got her wings in 1958 because it was the most exciting job available at the time. She was sitting with her parents on their way to California when a flight attendant told Maguire she would be perfect for the job. Maguire says she was in college studying to be a teacher and didn’t want to seem excited about the idea in front of her parents, but the woman was just so “cute, cute, cute,” and she wondered what it would be like to be in her perfectly polished shoes.

Most women worked as secretaries, teachers or nurses, and Maguire says she didn’t want that life. She flew for more than a year before she married her college sweetheart, a man she has been married to for 53 years.

In Braniff’s prime, women had to retire when they married or by age 32 when, Maguire says, most women weighed about 130 pounds max.

“It was very glamorous at that time, hose and heels and gloves. It wasn’t the casual,” she says of their attire. Before the hostesses, who stood between 5’ 2” and 5’ 7”, could begin their shifts, inspectors looked at the women’s shoes, made sure their hair didn’t touch their collars, and they were weighed, says former hostess Yvonne Crum.

On July 15, 1964, Crum started working for Braniff and later switched to American Airlines. She retired 46 years later on the same day in July after having what she calls “a little detour with breast cancer.”

Crum says she was very fortunate to work in the “glory days” when respect went both ways on an aircraft. The passengers were generally polite, and the hostesses took pride in a job that opened the world to them.

A 1960s-era marketing campaign meant bright colors for Braniff.

Adair says she never would have traveled to South America if it wasn’t for her job, and smiles with perfectly applied red lipstick when she speaks of the thrill of Mexico City and New York. Maguire also says New York was one of the best places she traveled.

It wasn’t all glamour, though. Maguire and Adair speak of picking uneaten food off passengers’ trays after they left the plane or fell asleep.

“That’s why I eat so fast now,” Adair jokes.

She also jokes about the time Lyndon Johnson flew in coach on one of the flights, and the flight attendant alongside her was afraid to approach him because he had a notorious temper.

“He couldn’t have been nicer,” Adair says of the former president, who marched down the aisle and shook everyone’s hands.

24 pres tonhollow.advocatemag.com Nov ember 2012

Adair came back to work in reservations and at the ticket counter in the late ’70s after suffering from Braniff withdrawal. Women were allowed to take ground jobs for airlines if they were “too old” to work in the sky.

But, “flight attendants are born friendly,” Adair says of the desire to work with the public and the lifelong friendships they form.

Before deregulation “Braniff was the biggest thing going,” but the glory days came to an end in the late ’60s when American landed in Dallas and everything changed, Crum says.

Adair says Braniff expanded too fast to try and keep up, and that, along with bad management and rising fuel costs, was the reason Braniff went under.

Men didn’t start working as “cabin attendants” until 1972, 10 years before Braniff folded. Crum said hostesses lost everything when the airline went under.

“Our pension and savings and everything,” she says.

Staying connected is important for these women, whose hair is still perfectly curled and nails polished to glimmer in the light.

Clinging to her memories, Adair volunteers to this day as a docent at the Frontiers of Flight Museum.

Outfitting success Two business owners prove moms really can do it all Story by Lauri valerio Photo by Can Turkyilmaz It started two years ago with a living room sale and a Facebook post, and now Preston Hollow residents Nicole Brewer and Amy Laws are running a company that raked in well over a million dollars this year.

The twist? All sales happen on Facebook.

“It’s really the way we sell, not just what we sell,” Brewer says.

Tuesdays and Thursdays at 8:30 p.m. sharp, Brewer and Laws post photos of their exclusive, specially designed children’s clothes on the Facebook page of their business, Smocked Auctions. Then it’s first-come first-served for the 130,000-plus Facebook users who “like” Smocked Auctions’ page. To “win” an item, they have to be one of the first to comment on a photo with their desired size and email address.

“It’s easy to shop with us,” Laws says. “[Customers] don’t have to thumb through multiple web pages. They see something they like and they click.”

Impulse buying meets instant gratification in the auctions: You choose to buy within seconds and receive the clothes on your doorstep three days later.

Brewer and Laws, who both hold business degrees, started selling children’s clothes on Facebook at a time when it was still unchartered territory. Though they first sold wholesale goods, they now design their own clothes.

Demand is high. A single one of their Facebook posts can garner as many as 1,500 comments, and the company ships to about 40 states in any given month.

“People started to befriend each other online,” Laws says of the community built through Smocked Auctions. “It’s like online dating for clothes.”

In addition to the twice-weekly auctions, the business also holds sample sales

Nicole Brewer and Amy Laws offer “champagne taste on a sippy cup budget” through Smocked Auctions.

twice a year and preorder sales once a week. Smocked Auctions had more than 2,000 transactions at a recent sample sale, which has evolved from a couple of hours in a living room to a couple of days in a hotel ballroom with people flying in from out of state. Their Facebook sales are still the most popular, though.

“It’s the community,” Brewer says about the reasons behind the success. “We have a group of moms, they get their kids fed and their husbands fed, and then it’s their time.

They trust our product. They know it’s good. They know if they pay for it, they’re going to get it.”

Brewer and Laws ran the company by themselves for almost a year — they now have a staff of five — and didn’t initially market their product, saying customers were, and still are, their best advertisers.

Like most of their customers, the two are mothers of small children and know that functionality is often as important as cuteness when it comes to clothes.

“Our business has evolved rapidly as

26 pres tonhollow.advocatemag.com Nov ember 2012

we’ve seen what’s practical for our children,” Brewer says.

The company recently developed custom software to help with invoicing, inventory, order fulfillment, bulk shipping and more, but the two still personally log the winners and answer questions posted on the Facebook page.

If being a mom is a full-time job, both Brewer and Laws have two intense positions. They take care of their own kids, and they also work nights and seven days a week on Smocked Auctions, yet they say they love what they’re doing.

“It’s our baby,” Laws says. “No one cares about your baby as much as you do.”

The two remain best friends, as they were when they started.

“I wouldn’t want to do this with anybody else,” Laws says. “It’s fun to work with your best friend. It’s like getting married — we didn’t know when we were ‘dating’ that it was going to be serious,” they say, finishing each other’s sentences.

The lowdown on what’s up with neighborhood businesses Send business news tips to LIVELOCAL@ADVOCATEMAG.COM Tesar opens Preston Center seafood restaurant Five-star chef John Tesar will open seafood restaurant Spoon Bar & Kitchen in November in Preston Center, in the spot where Tramontana used to be located. The restaurant says it is committed to using responsibly sourced seafood. Other interesting features inside Spoon include a raw bar, a private wine room and a counter where customers can sample experimental foods. In related news, Tesar will compete in Bravo’s upcoming season of “Top Chef,” which premiers Nov. 7. TV competitions aren’t new to him. In 2011 he won $10,000 on the Food Network’s “Extreme Chef.”

Tesar moved to Dallas in 2007, and since then has been nominated for the “Best Chef Southwest” James Beard award.

North Dallas businesses go to court over LBJ Express Project Business owners are going to court demanding Texas stop construction of the LBJ Express Project because they say the Texas Department of Transportation didn’t prepare impact assessments of its takings. Lead plaintiff Lamar Advantage Outdoor Co. owns five billboards on I-35 east that are affected by highway construction, the company says. Plaintiff Ralston Outdoor Advertising owns four nearby billboards. There are six additional plaintiffs involved in the case. In July 2011 attorneys asked TxDOT for a copy of Taking Impact Assessments (TIA) for the project, and said TxDOT officials said they didn’t have them after a month passed. The plaintiffs are arguing that TIAs are required by law before governmental agencies can implement projects. Plaintiffs say in May 2012

TxDOT said they didn’t need to prepare a TIA. Nevertheless, the plaintiffs want the project declared as invalid and work stopped.

Long-term LBJ changes The entrance ramp from Hillcrest Road to the eastbound LBJ Freeway will be closed through November until the new entrance ramp is done. The LBJ Express Project will switch traffic to the eastbound frontage road between Hillcrest Road and Park Central Drive. Montfort Drive’s eastbound entrance ramp will be permanently closed, and drivers will have to enter the highway via the Preston Road entrance ramp.

Lasting about two years, the westbound exit ramp to Webb Chapel Road will be combined with Marsh Lane, and drivers will have to use that exit ramp to get to Webb Chapel Road.

MANAGING THE FUTURE NUTRITION “I really wish I would have done this earlier.”

Kevin Maloney of C.C. Young Retirement Community says that is the phrase he hears most often from clients he has met through his work. Unfortunately, when it comes to planning for our advanced years, many of us would rather bury our toes – and our heads – in the sand. But no matter how difficult it is to face questions about the future, the time to take action is now, rather than waiting until a crisis may force difficult or unexpected choices.

RESIDENCE Downsizing might make practical sense for empty nesters, but that doesn’t mean it’s an easy decision. People develop at-

tachments to their neighborhoods and their homes. Familiar things like the view from the back porch or even a finicky doorbell can seem like old friends. Sometimes sentimental feelings cause us to overlook the financial impact of staying in a house too long.

“People don’t realize how much it really costs to live at home,” Maloney says. “Most of the folks that move into a community like ours (C.C. Young) have been in their home for quite a few years, and it’s probably paid for. But when you consider taxes, utilities and maintenance, it is still very expensive to live in that ‘free’ home.” When people budget, Maloney says, they usually leave out big expenses like replacing a water heater or a roof. But in a house that is twenty or more years special advertising section

old, large expenses are not only likely, they are inevitable.

Judy Burkett of Presbyterian Village North says, “The thing I always tell people is, you need to come (to a retirement community) when you can still enjoy it, and you can experience it for what it’s meant to be.”

And what is it meant to be? A way of living that offers freedom from the responsibilities of home maintenance and repairs, and chores like mowing the grass. Consequently, residents are free to take up (or return to) activities like art and music, or social activities like dancing.

“I’ve seen people come in and fully embrace the retirement community,” Burkett says. “We have several couples that spend part of the year traveling, and they don’t have to worry about locking up the house or anything happening. They are still on the go, and they have peace of mind, knowing everything will be okay at home.”

Finance

U.S.A. Today reports that nearly half of Americans approaching retirement have no plans in place to make sure their money lasts the rest of their life. Here are some age markers to keep in mind: If you retire at age 55, you can make withdrawals from your 401(k) without the penalty, but you will have to pay income tax.

At age 62, you can claim Social Security, but checks may be reduced by as much as 30 percent if you sign up at this age. Full benefits begin for most Americans at age 66. The age eligibility increases gradually, in monthly increments, for baby boomers born in the 1950s. If you were born in 1960, you will have to wait until age 67 for your full benefits. But for everyone who can hold off collecting Social Security until age 70, payouts will grow by as much as 8 percent per year.

Medical Don’t overlook planning for health care, including the possible need for long term care, advises Penni Jones of Villages of Lake Highlands. “Typically in assisted living people are preparing for the future and looking at what they can afford,” Jones says. “Sometimes they have veteran’s benefits, or long term care insurance.” The different levels of care at Villages of Lake Highlands include assisted living and progress through skilled nursing and a dedicated memory care unit.

Sometimes families are in crisis over an aging parent’s health when they come to the facility, and they don’t have a lot of time to search for high-quality care. “We do a lot of special things in our memory care unit that some people don’t do,” Jones says. “We try to reduce medications used on Alzheimer residents. We call it “calm therapy.” We have quiet rooms where we administer aromatherapy and involve pressure points that have a calming effect on people with dementia.”

Will and estate planning Roughly 50 percent of adults don’t have a legal will in place.

“The State of Texas does provide you with a will in their statute,” says independent estate planner Mary Glenn. “But most people don’t want the State of Texas to write their will.”

special advertising section

The thought of paying legal fees today in exchange for the experience of planning our eventual mortality has driven many people to online do-it-yourself sites. Unfortunately the complexities required to ensure validity can make that alternative a high risk. “Some people really care about their pets,” Glenn says. “Others want to give to the community or a charity. Without a valid will, that’s not going to happen.”

Whatever your age, it’s important to have a will. “If you are young and you have minor children, you’ve got to have a will so you can designate a guardian for them,” Glenn says. Also, a will is the only way to cover friendships or partnerships that would not be recognized in Texas probate.

An Estate lawyer can help you establish your wishes in case of illness or incapacity. “You may be in the hospital,” she says. “It really is handy to have a medical power of attorney in place so that you have a designated person that is going to be able to make financial decisions, like keep your electricity on and pay your mortgage.” Other examples of documents for the living include advance directives about health care (like a living will) and even a declaration of guardian, should that be necessary.

“If your capacity is gone, you no longer can say, ‘I don’t want Jimmy to do it,’” Glenn says with a knowing laugh.

“If you want Sue Ellen to do it, it’s better to have it written down now.”

DID YOU KNOW Older adults tend to move in three distinct phases.

UÊÊRetirement – usually between the ages of 60 and 70, seeking lifestyle amenities and hobbies such as boating and golfing.

UÊÊHealth Events – when living in one’s current residence becomes difficult, or adults who have moved away geographically from family return to be closer.

UÊÊAdvanced age – common among those with increasing ailments and those who do not have an available caregiver.

Dr. Lynne Roberts, an internationally known laser surgeon based in Dallas, consults with many patients who feel energetic and dynamic in the second half of life.

“They want to look as good as they feel,” Dr. Roberts says.

“They’re taking care of their bodies, and they want their skin and their appearance to reflect that.”

Most of us know that the biggest environmental enemy of our skin is also one of our best friends — the sun.

“Living in Texas, we’re closer to the equator,” Dr. Roberts says. “We have lots of sun year-round, and people like to be outside year-round.” Indications of sun damage include ruddiness of the skin, spider veins, and a dull or yellow appearance, rather than a healthy glow. Sun damage also causes brown spots, sometimes called age spots or liver spots. “Dermatologists call them sun spots, because they are related to the sun,” Dr. Roberts says.

Eighty percent of sun damage to the skin is often done in the first two decades of life, but that doesn’t mean you can’t protect your skin now. Dr. Roberts tells her patients, “If you start using sunscreen at any age, your skin can repair some damage. It’s not just about going forward with sunscreen,” she says. “It actually helps your skin to heal.”

The skin’s second biggest enemy is smoking, which causes decreased blood flow and slower healing. Even someone who has smoked for decades can improve skin health if they quit today. Even more good news for patients is available through treatments such as pixel fractional resurfacing. The laser creates thousands of microscopic spots known as “pixels” which reduces the affected surface area during the treatment, resulting in minimized pain and reduced recovery time (a few days, instead of months required for other resurfacing options.) It is a safe and effective way to treat sun damage, stubborn pigmentation, acne scars, rough texture, enlarged pores, and fine lines.

education Early risers had a chance to see Tom C. Gooch Elementary students on TV taking part in September’s PARK(ing) Day. During the event, downtown parking spots were turned into temporary spaces that provided spots to read, do yoga, look at art and more. The segment aired on Univision, channel 23, and Telefutura, channel 49.

The Dallas Independent School District launched a new app for iPhones and Androids. The app lets parents and students see grades, bus routes, emergency notifications, cafeteria menus, a calendar and more. The free app, developed

by School Connect, is available in English and Spanish at dallasisd.org/mobileapp.

Toddler playground dedication St. Alcuin Montessori School dedicated a toddler playground on its campus in honor of a former student who died in December after a yearlong battle with brain cancer. Little Virginia Franklin, at bottom, and Theo Johnson, Veronica Murray, Helena Magee and Maria Delgado came out for the special naming ceremony of the Chloe Simone Shea Toddler Playground Sept. 7.

Preston Hollow schoolteachers Rachel Burnett and Susan Bourenane received the Innovations in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) Teaching Awards, presented to 12 Dallas ISD teachers by the Texas Instruments Foundation in September. Burnett teaches algebra at W.T. White High School and is the core math teacher for the school’s Engineering Academy.

Bourenane teaches technology and computer at George Bannerman Dealey Montessori Vanguard and International Academy. The awards honor secondary math and science teachers that build student achievement in the STEM subjects, a problem area for many students. Each honoree received $10,000, half for personal use and the other half for professional development or instructional technology.

Danielli Costa, gifted math teacher at Thomas Jefferson High, was featured on the September cover of the North Texan, the alumni magazine for the University of North Texas. Costa was hired by the high school last spring. Her students had already seen five teachers come and go, and standardized testing time loomed near. She was ready for the challenge, in part because of the training and experience she received through UNT’s Teach North Texas program, she tells the magazine.

Hillcrest High student Sydney L. Pedigo was named a National Merit Semifinalist. Each year, more than 1.5 million high school juniors take the PSAT test to help qualify for college entrance and scholarships. And each year, students who achieve the top 16,000 scores among all testtakers are named National Merit Semifinalists.

About half of the semifinalists will receive $2,500 National Merit scholarships, while the scores of the others help them obtain merit scholarships from colleges.

Jesse Delagarza has not been having good luck lately. The Dallas-area realtor recently had his car broken into at a restaurant. But he was really unprepared for

The Victim: Jesse Delagarza The Crime: Burglary Date: Thursday, Sept. 20 Time: Between 8 a.m. and 2 p.m.

Location: 5900 Block of elderwood

what would happen a week later while he was at work.

A burglar cut a screen and slipped in through a cracked window of his home.

The place was ransacked and an extensive amount of property was stolen including electronics, jewelry and his ostrich cowboy boots. It was a loss of

several thousands of dollars.

“It’s just a ton of stuff,” Delagarza says of the burglary. “I’m still making a list of what all was taken.”

There is a 24-hour security patrol in their area, but unfortunately they or any other neighbors did not see any suspects.

Officers with the North Central Patrol Division say most home burglars are amateurs looking for easy targets including even a cracked window like in this case.

They look for homes presenting the least risk of detection, the greatest opportunity for easy gain and the maximum potential for escape.

Most burglars look for homes appearing unoccupied and unprotected, without adequate locks and lighting, with open or unlocked doors and windows, and home sites with easy concealment from neighbors and passing motorists.
