We take our sons’ sports not-too-seriously

This month, my wife and I will wrap up 16 consecutive years of being professional amateur sports parents.

I mean “amateur” in the sense of beginning with 5-year-old soccer games and continuing through this final season of high school varsity baseball games, we’ve seen hundreds of our sons’ sporting events.

We’ve moaned, groaned and cheered with countless parents on the sidelines 5733 Stonegate Road | $1,350,000 4/4.5/frmls/study/3-car/.6 acre Becky Frey | 214.536.4727 for soccer, basketball, baseball and hockey games. We’ve sat through lots of year-end pizza lunches and burger dinners filled with trophies and speeches, and these were for teams that rarely sniffed championships.

But what I re4818 Melissa Lane | $1,310,000 most often are the many minutes 3 or 4member bd/4.5/ frmls/pool Betsy Stern | 214.957.9475 of my life ticking slowly away in the most surly of weather, with a beat-down on the field occurring at precisely the same moment rain or wind or sun (or all three) beat down on those of us in the stands.

write history through their kids.

Don’t get me wrong: There’s a place in sports for good-natured ribbing of authority, and some parents and grandparents can be hilarious when they’re offering friendly advice to a referee or umpire. (I’ve even seen the refs/umps laugh a time or two.)

But sometimes those charged with administering the rules — regardless of age, ethnicity or sex — became verbal punching bags, with both sides of the inevitably partisan crowd crowing loudly about supposedly mistaken calls, rule interpretations and the like. (The view of accuracy, after all, is much better at a severe angle 150 feet from the action than it is from on the field.)

I would like to believe the collective impact of all of these experiences fueled a sense of fair play, sportsmanship and personal pride in our sons. I would like to believe the thousands of hours invested in these events weren’t simply useless diversions from homework or, more likely, video games.

And I would like to believe our sons, when their own day in the stands arrives, will think twice before turning into family IEDs — improvised exploding dummies.

Honestly, though, my most telling memory of our amateur sporting life comes from a friend, who spotted this phrase on a fellow parent’s T-shirt: “Lord, if it’s my last day on earth, let me be at a swim meet, since they usually last forever!”

LaunchCommunity RE AL PATIENTS. RE AL STORIES.

‘Art in every heart’ Art Stop instructors envision a world where children recognize not only local sports stars but local artists, too. “Everyone knows about Jason Kidd and the Dallas Mavericks,” says studio owner Kathleen Alexander. “But can you imagine if kids could name their local artists?” An upcoming, juried exhibit aims to remedy this. Art Stop, a private studio in Preston Center that serves neighborhood children age 3 through high school, has teamed up with Rising Gallery for “Inspired,” presenting student projects alongside the work of the professional Dallas artists who inspired them. In their own ways, toddlers, tweens and teens reinterpret printmaker Debbie Klein’s color theory, sculptor Tyler Aiello’s use of negative space and painter Frankie Garcia’s abstract shapes. “We’re teaching the basics of art,” says Gina Dunn, an Art Stop instructor and working artist. “You know that the majority of kids who come through here are not going to grow up to be artists, although they could be. But they leave with an appreciation for art.”

The show also helps build up Dallas’ professional art scene, humbling artists like Garcia. “It brought tears to his eyes to know that kids are studying him,” Dunn says. Alexander opened Art Stop 13 years ago, and it’s the oldest private art studio in the city. She previously taught at Christ the King School. “I thought there was a need in the community for a children’s art school,” she says. “I believe art is in every heart.” Judges for “Inspired” include Dunn, a professional visual artist; Margie Sibrizzi, early childhood education specialist at the Museum of Nature and Science; and Taber Wetz, co-owner of Rising Gallery. The three top students will receive an Art Stop scholarship for additional classes. Alexander says she’s always open to helping families pay for enrollment at the studio. “I have people who come by and say ‘Oh, I can’t afford this.’ I say, ‘Can you get your child here every week? Then, you can afford it. We’ll find a way.’ ”

Baylor went through my wrist to save my heart.

’’

With a family history of heart disease, Danny Weatherly is very familiar with cardiovascular procedures. He had his first heart attack at age 39 and has had three angioplasties, a procedure in which a catheter with a balloon on the end is threaded through the femoral artery in the groin. After the procedure, a patient must lie flat for about six hours to prevent bleeding. At Baylor Jack and Jane Hamilton Heart and Vascular Hospital, Danny underwent a radial artery angioplasty, an innovative new procedure in which the catheter is threaded through a small artery in the wrist. Danny wore a small wristband to control any bleeding and was able to walk around immediately after the procedure. “Baylor gave me more energy.

And with 10 grandkids, I need all the energy I can get.”

Architects present new Preston Royal Library design

Construction will not begin for several years, but the city is already laying out plans for the new Preston Royal Library, which will relocate to the vacant lot at Forest and Nuestra formerly occupied

by Korean Young Nak Presbyterian Church. Architects at Perkins + Will designed the new library as LEED Gold, the second-highest energy-efficient rating outlined by the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design. The facility features a garden, several meeting rooms and a tree house for children’s storytime, creating a library not just for reading but also for learning. “We want it to be as flexible as possible because we don’t know where libraries are going to be in five or six years,” says Phil Callison of Perkins + Will. The library’s total cost is about $6 million, and it has not been included in the proposed 2012 bond program. “Our biggest needs right now are flood control, streets and economic development,” says assistant city manager Joe Zapata. “In 2006 we passed the biggest bond package in Dallas history, $1.35 billion, when the economy was good. Now, things have changed.” In the meantime, the current library at Royal and the Dallas North Tollway will remain open.

Churchill Recreation Center expands

For the past nine months, Churchill Recreation Center at Churchill and Hillcrest has been under renovation, constructing a new fitness center, large multipurpose room and bathrooms. The $1.4 million addition is set to open this month. Designed locally by DSGN Associates, the 1,500 square-foot fitness center features an open floor plan and natural light, and is equipped with new treadmills, bikes, elliptical machines and weights. The multi-purpose room can be used for any type of gathering. “It can hold about 80 people for everything from bridge games to yoga classes,” says recreation center manager John Lux. The exterior includes rows of vertical, steel sunscreens on the windows to protect against extreme heat during the summer. With the expansion came a slew of new classes, including: square and round dance, Pilates, Zumba, kung fu, oil painting, “Score” fitness for seniors, boot camp, Irish dance, hiphop, jazz, ballet for toddlers and Saturday basketball. Funding for the new addition came from the 2006 bond package.

Partners Don Neilson and Freddie White moved to Eudora Drive for its convenient access to freeways and bike trails. But the house needed some updating. It came with wood paneling and blue carpet.

The kitchen had wall-to-wall white cabinets and glittery, gold linoleum. “It was very tired,” Neilson says.

now!

The remodeling began, but with it came an expensive termite problem. When it came time to redo the kitchen, Neilson and White were short on cash. “Everything cost a lot more than we anticipated, and we had to regroup and rethink what we were doing,” Neilson says. “We had a limited budget, so we had to think outside the box.” The result is what Neilson calls the “anti-kitchen,” a clean, commercial space with a shabby-chic touch. A trip to Italy inspired the redesign. The kitchens there are free of all the fluff. Instead of traditional cabinetry, Neilson and White installed open shelving where pots, pans and dishes hang in a kind of organized chaos that looks quite natural. The center island is a refurbished coal cart, and the pantry is an antique pharmacy cabinet. One wall has floor-to-ceiling windows, which lets in loads of natural light. The new industrialized space makes cooking much easier. The total cost for the anti-kitchen, including new appliances, came out to $4,900.

Tackling city-related maintenance issues in our neighborhoods GOT A QUESTION? Email launch@advocatemag.com.

long red lights Some neighborhoods in Preston Hollow abut busier roads, and some residents encounter prolonged red lights that can cause traffic to pile up on our quieter streets, especially during rush hour. When the signal finally turns green, drivers may have just a few seconds to make it through the intersection.

The process is simple. Call 311, and ask for a signal time adjustment for your location. It’s important to include the time of day the problem occurs, says Beth Ramirez, A: Submit a request, and hope the traffic volumes work in your favor. assistant director of Street Services. “Traffic volumes change throughout the day, so the area may be better in the morning than the afternoon.” Once reported, the request immediately gets assigned to a traffic engineer who investigates whether the change is warranted by comparing traffic volumes on the opposing streets. “If there is one car to every 50 cars, I’m sorry. They’re going to have to wait. There are instances where an area has changed due to new development, and the signal times do need to be updated.” Signal times vary greatly throughout the city, and they may not be as long as people think they are. Ramirez says that during peak times, the average signal time is 1 and a half to 2 and a half minutes — that’s the length for the entire cycle from green to yellow to red.

By treating early, often the removal of permanent teeth to make space can be avoided. To promote healthy smiles, our office offers complimentary exams, and if your child is not ready for treatment, we’ll see him regularly to monitor his development.

Mexican food

T

he Mexican food at MesoMaya may not be 100 percent authentic, but with rich dishes such as the mesquite-grilled pork chop and creamy roasted corn, who cares? “I’m trying to stay inspired

by Mexican cuisines while understanding where we are,” says chef Nico Sanchez. “I can’t say it’s authentic, but I try to base my dishes on Central and Southern Mexico.” Born in Mexico, Sanchez came to work in Dallas, having been part of North Henderson restaurants Cubre Libre, Alma and Hibiscus.

The menu at MesoMaya is simple and straightforward, he says. The ceviche is a mixture of marinated bass and shrimp, avocado, cilantro and limejuice. The arugula salad has heirloom tomatoes, mangos and goat cheese with honey cilantro vinaigrette. Sanchez just added a new dessert — a chocolate cake topped with homemade ice cream, strawberries and rum sauce.

This month marks the fourth annual DrinkLocalWine conference, which is being held in Denver and focusing on Colorado wine. We held the first DLW event, featuring Texas wine, in Dallas four years ago, and no one knew what would happen next.

What has happened is that local wine has grown almost exponentially since then, and Texas has been in the forefront of that growth. The state has 225 wineries, about three times as many as just 10 years ago (and the number of wineries in the states that aren’t California, Oregon and Washington has increased by almost one-half since 2005). Local wine has become more a part of the local food movement than ever before; U.S. chefs, according to a National Restaurant Association survey, pointed to local wine as a top-10 menu trend for two consecutive years.

And quality is better than ever before. A Texas viognier won a gold medal at the prestigious San Francisco Chronicle wine competition this year, and the state’s entries turned in one of their best ever showings at the annual Dallas Morning News-TexSom competition.

In fact, one of the few remaining obstacles facing Texas wine is that too many consumers know it’s not any good — even though they’ve never tasted it. So, this month, some Texas wines to try, especially if you’ve never tried any before: ø =VV`ø <gZZcø AVWZaø 7aVcXø Yjø 7d^hø &* # Don’t worry if you haven’t heard of this grape; it makes fine wine anyway. Look for citrus flavors and a crisp, clean finish — this is a bone-dry white that pairs with grilled and boiled seafood. ø BXE]Zghdcø 8ZaaVghø AVø =ZgZcX^Vø &) # This red blend features tempranillo, a Spanish grape that looks like it will do quite well in Texas. It’s a little funky on the aroma, which is a good thing, and has cherry fruit. It’s a beef and lamb wine. øL^aa^Vb 8]g^hø:cX]VcViZø )' #øNot the best name in the world, but a red blend made with more familiar grapes like merlot from a small Hill Country producer that gets good reviews. It’s rich and full, and makes a nice gift for red wine drinkers.

The ingredients are just suggestions; other than the leek, which gives amazing flavor, you can use pretty much anything in the refrigerator, including chopped mushrooms, shredded cabbage and torn lettuce leaves. Serve with the Texas wine of your choice — a light red or white would do the trick.

A Preston Hollow home increases its fun factor STORY Emily Toman PHOTOS Danny Fulgencio n a clear, spring day, the sounds of chirping birds and cascading waterfalls echo throughout the Petroff home. It’s easy to forget you’re in the city just yards from busy streets.

O

Kip and Suzi Petroff created an urban oasis after a remodel that expanded the back of the house and added walls of windows that open into the huge patio and backyard. The pool’s rugged rock formation and waterfall provide a natural ambiance surrounded by clusters of perennial flowers. A smaller patio juts out from the sunroom and master bedroom on the west side. That’s where Kip and Suzi got married in July 2010.

“It was so hot, so we had a 10-minute ceremony,” Suzi says. “Then, people spontaneously jumped in the pool with all their clothes on. It was a fun wedding.”

The fun-factor is reflected throughout the Petroff home, which includes a gym and two game rooms where people can play pool or shuffleboard, watch television and serve food. Between Kip and Suzi’s relatives, family gatherings can get pretty large.

“Our family is very active,” Suzi says.

“It’s like the Beverly Hillbillies. We’re huge and rambunctious. We wanted a place where we could all get together and have fun.”

OWNERS Kip and Suzi Petroff

DATE BUILT 2000

There is also plenty of open space where Suzi and her 15-year-old son, Michael, can practice the less rambunctious art of tae kwon do. They are both black belts.

The Petroffs work from home, which makes a comfortable design all that more important. Kip is a lawyer and was a lead prosecutor in the infamous Fen Phen case. Suzi is a former theater arts teacher and now writes educational material. They both run the New Hope Foundation, a local nonprofit that aims to help break the cycle of poverty in South Dallas. Their offices are on opposite ends of the house, and the two meet in the kitchen every day at around 5 p.m.

Suzi admits that, at 11,500 square feet, the house is too big, especially for a couple their age. However, the Petroffs have at least one big event each year at their house, accommodating more than 100 guests at time.

“The best compliment we could have is, ‘Your house is so much fun.’

That’s what we want to hear.”

news&Notes

community The Northaven Trail ribbon-cutting ceremony is set for April 14. The hike-and-bike trail runs along an Oncor easement between Royal and Northaven, stretching east and west from Valleydale to Preston. The trail is already open for use. For more details, visit northaventrail.org.

The city reports that it earned $186,450 from the $15 garage sale permit fee residents have been required to pay during the past fiscal year. According to the city briefing, more than 12,430 permits were issued, and the city also dished out 720 violation notices and 17 criminal citations.

The Woodall Rodgers deck park was named Klyde Warren Park after Preston Hollow resident Kelcy Warren’s 9-year-old son. Warren is CEO of the Dallas-based Energy Transfer Partners, and he’s a big supporter of the arts.

He paid “undisclosed millions” for the name, the Dallas Morning News reported.

education Three candidates are running for the District 1 Dallas ISD Trustee seat soon to be vacated

by Edwin Flores, who will not seek re-election.

The candidates are DeGoyler dad Michael Greenberg, stay-at-home mom Jennifer Levy and businesswoman Elizabeth Jones. District 1 serves the W.T. White and Thomas Jefferson high school feeder patterns. Early voting is April 30-May 8, and the election is May 12.

David Haynes, football coach at Thomas Jefferson High School, is one of just 20 coaches in the country to receive the Positive Coaching Alliance’s Double-Goal Coach Award. Presented by Liberty Mutual, the awards recognize coaches who help athletes grow, not just on the field but in all aspects of life. Recipients are given a trophy, $250 and appearances in newsletters and media campaigns for the Positive Coaching Alliance, a national nonprofit that provides character-building programs for youth. Haynes led the TJ football team last fall, breaking its 36-game losing streak. The Dallas Morning News reported that the team had not won a game in more than four years — until last September when TJ beat Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis, 19-16.

Dallas native Monica Thieu, an 18-year-old psychology sophomore at the University of North Texas, became the youngest winner ever of the “Jeopardy” college championship this week.

She’s also a Hockaday School 2010 alumna.

Thieu won $100,000 and a guaranteed spot in the show’s next Tournament of Champions.

than listens. And the pictures it produces are breathtaking.

I have to admit that, standing out under those huge dishes, I began to wax theological, almost poetical. In the majestic silence of that high plateau, those 27 antennae seemed — how shall I put it — intent.

They were paying attention to something beyond my small imagination. They were asking questions beyond my limited understanding — questions about the cre-

ation, the why and the how of it, in all its immensity and mystery. Perhaps most of all, I imagined them asking the question the Psalmist asked, “What are mortals, that you should care for them?”

I know they were just very sophisticated scientific instruments, but for a little while they seemed to take on almost human characteristics, capable of wonder and awe. In the end, we explore those things that are farthest away in order to see what is most deeply within us.

I pray most nights. Most of us do, in whatever form or manner. The older I get, the more I become like the Very Large Array. I talk less, and listen more. Like those big antennae, I’m learning, little by little, to pay attention to the great Mystery that is beyond.

TrueCrime

He leaped tHe fence and grabbed yard tools.

Ellen Fleishmann believed her Melshire Estates home was secure. A gate surrounds her property, and an alarm system protects the house. However, a crafty burglar recently found a hole in the security, leaping the gate and entering her small,

The Victim: ellen Fleishmann The Crime: Burglary Date: Wednesday, Feb. 22 Time: Between 11 p.m. and 4 a.m.

Location: 5600 block of Charlestown plastic detached shed. The burglar made off with yard and gardening tools including a leaf blower, hedge trimmer, tree trimmer and lawn edger — just as spring and lawn care season approaches.

The family’s car also had been rifled through, but luckily nothing was left inside. Fleishmann says it is a creepy feeling knowing someone invaded her family’s

property. Since then, the family has decided to keep all tools in the more secure and locked garage.

“It’s annoying, but if that’s the worst thing that happens to me, I’ll live,” she says.

Dallas Police Lt. Richard Dwyer of the North Central Patrol Division says no matter where a shed is located, it should always be locked, even for brief periods of time. And residents should remember no matter what type of padlock, it is imperative that the clasp be extremely strong and secure as well.

“If possible, a good outdoor floodlight that illuminates the part of the yard where the shed is located is also helpful,” Dwyer says. “And don’t forget, when you buy tools and lawn equipment that have serial numbers, copy down that number on the front of the instruction sheet that comes with the item so you can always find it when needed.”

Tu-Lu’s is run by two women — Tully and Jen — who both have a gluten intolerance. So they came together and created Tu-Lu’s, which offers cakes, cupcakes, cookies, muffins and brownies. It also has a few vegan options. Tully graduated from Southern Methodist University before heading to Le Cordon Bleu in Austin and then earning a master’s degree in food studies from New York University. Jen, an advocate for the gluten-free lifestyle, left the financial industry to team up with Tully.

Tu-Lu’s NYC bakery has received praise from Vogue and “CBS New York.”

Manager John Hudnall says the concept is St. Louis-style pizza, which is unheard of around here. Tomato Pizza Pie is characterized by super-thin crust and a special blend of cheeses. The meats and toppings are all fresh, as opposed to chains that pile on frozen ingredients before popping the pizza into the oven, Hudnall says. “Instead of getting a taste of sausage here and there, it’s more like one flavor that has been cooked together,” he says. The northwest corner of Preston and Forest is the restaurant’s first location, and owner Ryan Noles plans to expand as soon as possible.

Bijoux turns ‘bistro’ The upscale, contemporary French restaurant recently has opted for a dual personality. Run by husband-and-wife team Scott and Gina Gottlich, the famed Inwood Village restaurant has split into two concepts: a chef’s room and a bistro. The chef’s room will be a formal dining experience with optional wine pairings, and the other part — retaining the name Bijoux — is a casual restaurant serving bistro-style fare.

Spec’s expanding to Preston Royal Village The Houston-based liquor store is opening a 9,918-square-foot store in the former Blockbuster space at Preston and Royal.

A spokesperson for Preston Royal Village announced, “The store will present a ‘boutique feel’ and will offer fine wines and beers from around the world.” This shop won’t sell any hard liquor like Spec’s Wine, Spirits and Finer Foods’ first Dallas store at Walnut Hill and Central.

“Instead of getting a taste of sausage here and there, it’s more like one flavor that has been cooked together.”
