From The Desk of Rick DeMasters Welcome Back Celina ISD Faculty, Parents, and Students!

As we begin to set our sights towards graduation, we must first unfold the pages to begin this next chapter. It is a time of new beginnings filled with opportunities to grow and embrace the changes that await not only our district, but our community as well.

During the 2017-2018 school year, we began to identify those that serve not only our community, but our district in many different capacities.

Forty-five of these individuals agreed to serve on the Celina ISD Financial Integrity/Bond Steering Committee. These “stakeholders” are comprised of city officials, organizational leaders, board members, clergy, teachers, parents,students, business/community members, campus and district leaders. Committee members were charged to serve in an advisory capacity to help the Celina Board of Trustees assess and prioritize capital improvement projects with the possibility of calling for a future bond election.

Over the past nine months, committee members have reviewed data from multiple sources to include; Templeton Demographics, Claycomb Associates, current/projected enrollment figures, 10-year facilities plan, district financials, bond history and market analysis. Using the data collected, the committee members prioritized capital improvement projects that would fulfill the needs of our students, faculty, and programs into the foreseeable future. The committee finalized their recommendation for the board on December 12th, which included a chronological list of projects for future completion over the next 10 years, with a total cost of $600 million. The recommendation was presented and approved by the Celina Board of Trustees during the December 17th meeting.

6 | January 2019 WeAreCELINA.com

The next step in the process is to call for a bond election, which will be on the agenda for the January 21, 2019 board meeting. Once approved, the bond will be added to the ballot for the May 4th election. The bond election gives individuals an opportunity to vote on paying for the construction and renovation of school facilities. Bond monies can be used for land acquisition, equipment, technology, construction and renovation of facilities, but cannot be used for personnel or salaries.

Several area districts have called for bonds and many of those have had a tax increase as part of the bond package. This is a Zero Tax Impact Bond , which means that we as a district, will NOT be asking for a tax increase from our constituents in order to pass the bond.

Our district prides itself on its transparency with our constituents. Our goal is for all stakeholders to be provided with factual information concerning school bonds. If questions arise or clarification is needed regarding the bond information, please do not hesitate to reach out to our administration office or any of the individuals that served on the bond committee. We have added bond information to our district website that will be updated frequently as new information is received.

For further information, go to www.celinaisd.com . Click on the “District” tab, scroll and click on “Bond.” The page will give you information in regards to the committee, agendas from all committee meetings and a short, informational video about school bonds. It is an exciting time to be a Bobcat and we are blessed to be surrounded and supported by not only those we serve, but those that make our district great! GO BOBCATS! Rick DeMasters, Superintendent of Schools Celina ISD

He states, “We absolutely love to watch people’s lives change as they see their smiles change! People come to us because they actually WANT what we have to offer, and we believe that creates a positive environment in our office.” Dr. Hemphill likes that the nature of orthodontic treatment gives him the unique opportunity to get to know families and connect with his community. Through regular treatment visits, he forms meaningful relationships with his patients, and that gives him a great sense of fulfillment.

Dr. Hemphill’s team believes very strongly in the value of their treatment experience, both in the quality of the orthodontic care, as well as in the service you will find working with them. Here are a few aspects of receiving treatment at Hemphill Orthodontics that add great value to their office.

You have many different financing options available at Hemphill Orthodontics. They are very flexible, and can always work within your budget, giving you the peace of mind that you deserve.

For simplicity and comprehensiveness, their fees are all-inclusive: meaning all the x-rays, records, full treatment, and retainers are bundled into one price.

Dr. Hemphill and his wife, Kayli, have a 1-year-old son, Witten, and are expecting a second child in May 2019! They love just spending time together, having game nights with family and friends, and being active in their church. Dr. Hemphill is working with the missions team to establish a medical/dental mission trip to El Salvador to give back to the world out of the talents and blessings that he has received in life.

“We truly believe that you won’t find anyone else as committed to excellence as we are. We pride ourselves on providing the highest quality of orthodontic treatment available. We believe that what we do is important and makes a difference in people’s lives, and we work hard to make sure our patients’ experiences reflect that.

Lone Star Vision wishes to thank Celina and Prosper for recognizing their practice among the area Top Docs for the past several years in a row! The secret to their success comes from how welcome patients feel every time they enter the office, and the advanced technology used to provide the most thorough eye examinations.

Since opening their Celina location in 2013, Lone Star Vision continues to grow alongside the community, as seen by the addition of quality staff and experienced doctors who want patients to feel like family.

The Doctors at Lone Star Vision have built a strong reputation among their colleagues and patients for their expertise and service. Dr. Todd Brantley, Dr. Brad Hanstad, Dr. Benjamin Lundeen and Dr. Paola Diaz all strive to deliver exceptional care, with the utmost compassion and friendliness that is often lost in today’s healthcare environment. Each doctor takes great pride in helping patients reach their greatest visual potential, using the latest contact lens designs, optical lens products and eyewear styles available.

The Frisco RoughRiders have named Lone Star Vision as their Official Eye Care Partner, and trust them with their players’ vision needs to perform at the highest level. Lone Star Vision is also honored to be the recipient of the Readers’ Choice Award for Vision Provider and has been recognized among Top Docs since they opened. They also generously support the local schools, along with several organizations including the Celina QB Club, Celina Education Foundation (C.A.R.E.), the Chamber of Commerce, the Bobocat Band, the Las Gatitas Drill Team, the Prosper Mighty Eagle Band and local PTA’s. Dr. Brantley helped start the Grace Bridge Eye Clinic and is honored to provide free eye exams and glasses to everyone this wonderful organization serves each month.

Also, if you work or play near their Plano location and find that office to be more convenient, you’ll want to look out for the upcoming move to the new, beautifully designed optical and expanded clinic in March of 2019, near the corner of Preston and Tennyson.

In 2007, Dr. Angela Ganjoor Graduated with honors from Texas A&M Dental School in Dallas Texas, previously known as Baylor College of Dentistry. Dr. Ganjoor, also known as “Dr. G” by her patients, keeps up with the latest dental practices as well as the most modern dental technology and equipment in her practice by taking hundreds of hours of continuing education classes per year.

Celina Family Dentistry is privately owned and operated by Dr. Ganjoor. She says, “Our goal is to provide the best quality dental care to our patients in a most comfortable, up to date and state of art dental office.” Dr. Ganjoor makes her home in Celina with her husband, their son and 3 dogs. She says, “Celina Family Dentistry is where patients become part of our extended family. Our staff members are friendly, knowledgeable and more than happy to go out of their way to help and accommodate their patients.”

The experts at Celina Family Dentistry specialize in all aspects of dental care, including but not limited to biannual dental cleaning and checkup x-rays, periodontal therapy, extractions, wisdom teeth extractions, teeth replacement options, fillings, crowns and bridges. They also offer implant placements and restorations, over dentures and partials, cosmetic dentistry and professional life long whitening options in addition to Fast Braces, and clear aligners, they screen and treat their patients with obstructive sleep apnea and other forms of breathing related sleep disorders.

“What sets us apart at Celina Family Dentistry is our passionate care and love for dentistry which enables us to always put our patient’s comfort and needs first. We give our patients individualized personal care according to their own specific dental needs.

We also have flexible hours as early as 7:00am to as late as 6:00pm which enables us to accommodate patients with different lifestyles. We are also open one Saturday a month to accommodate our patients who are unable to come in during weekdays.”

When asked why Dr. Ganjoor chose the dental field as her profession, she spoke of a time when she was 9 years old and her parents took her to the dentist for the very first time because she had a crooked front tooth. Rather than offering orthodontic treatment to align the crooked tooth, he recommended just extracting it. “My parents did not know any better, they trusted a professional’s opinion. So, my perfectly healthy, cavityfree tooth was pulled and of course there was no other tooth replacing it for many years, because it was one of my permanent teeth. Throughout my teenage years, I was very self-conscious about my smile because of that missing front tooth. I was young enough to where implant was not an option and even it was, my parents could not afford it.”

Encountering such a bad personal experience early on in life enlightened her to pursue Dentistry as a career. “I wanted to provide my patients with proper recommendations regarding their dental care. When I went to dental school, I was able to get orthodontic treatment and get a dental implant to replace my missing tooth to enhance my smile.”

Because of her own personal experience, she knows firsthand how our smiles can affect our self-esteem and confidence.

Chiropractic care can be a game-changer for countless health challenges. Children, teenagers, and adults alike can experience relief from acute injuries and annoyances as well as serious chronic conditions, often circumventing the need to pursue more invasive and expensive options or medications. Here’s just a sampling of the many areas of health that can benefit from chiropractic care: neck pain, headaches, back pain, strengthening the immune system, improving athletic performance, pregnancy and injury prevention/treatment.

Dr. John Perriton first realized he wanted to become a chiropractor while in a college class that required observing various health professionals. When a friend chose to shadow a chiropractor, Dr. Perriton tagged along, not knowing his life direction would be set that day. While watching the chiropractor at work, he saw how this doctor cultivated good relationships with his patients. In fact, entire families came to see the chiropractor, and he was able to help them with many different health issues. From then on, Dr. Perriton knew that becoming a chiropractor was the right choice for him.

At Prosper Chiropractic, Dr. Perriton strives to treat patients on an individual basis with state-of-the-art techniques, utilizing spinal decompression, flexion/distraction, cold laser for tissue healing, and physical therapy to support long-term healing and wellness. He strongly believes in the importance of getting to know his patients personally to help them move past their pain or physical limitations to accomplish their life goals. He has successfully cultivated an office atmosphere in

12 | January 2019 WeAreCELINA.com

which patients feel at home in a supportive and family-like environment.

His goal is to unleash the power of the nervous system to give healing control back to the body and provide a more conservative route of care. At the same time, he understands that sometimes medication and surgical intervention is necessary, and he always seeks to develop good relationships with other medical professionals to provide the right care for each of his patients.

Dr. Perriton graduated from Brigham Young University with a bachelor’s degree in exercise science and completed his doctorate at Parker University. Before coming to Prosper, he worked with a chiropractor in Highland Park specializing in care for athletes at SMU. Additionally, he ran a successful clinic in Allen, and while there, treated many of the basketball and tennis athletes of Collin County Community College.

Dr. Perriton is also a licensed acupuncturist and is currently pursuing a chiropractic sports practitioner certification.

He has been married to his wife Liz for seven years, and they they have four wonderful little children Knox, Jace, and six month old twins Tyce and Halle.. When he’s not working, Dr. Perriton enjoys serving at his church and participating in a variety of sports.

Top Doc’s 2019

CONVENIENCE…EXPERIENCE…EXCELLENCE! Dr. Tom Bietsch focuses on these three factors for all of his patients. His goal is to make every appointment convenient for his patients and their family. Imagine, you are in the middle of your work day and your child’s orthodontic appointment is in thirty minutes.

Instead of leaving work early to drive across town so you can pick your child up from school and take them to their appointment, you were able to stay at work while your child was able to make their orthodontic appointment. Well, you can if your child is a patient at Bietsch Orthodontics. Dr. Bietsch built a thirty-six-foot custom mobile orthodontic office for his patients that goes to your child’s school.

Dr. Bietsch’s “Bietsch Brace Bus” has everyone talking and for good reason. Parents couldn’t be happier with the ease of one less appointment that they have to manage into their already busy schedule. Parents receive a video update of their child and Dr. Bietsch at the time of their appointment that explains how their child’s orthodontic treatment is progressing. Parents win here at Bietsch Orthodontics because we bring orthodontics to the schools, so they do not have to miss any work. Students win as well because they are out of class much less time and do not have to miss that after school practice or game because they needed to go to their orthodontic appointment.

Dr. Bietsch sees how demanding parent’s schedules are and even more with multiple children, that is why he has created the mobile brace bus; a service that makes ortho appointments for your child and you more convenient. Dr. Bietsch travels with most of his team too. At all mobile bus appointments, your child will be accompanied by Dr. Bietsch, his treatment coordinator, scheduling coordinator and his three-chair side ortho assistants. Long appointments such as getting braces put on or taken off will be done in the primary office at Bietsch Orthodontics, but all adjustment appointments can be accommodated at your child’s school.

Dr. Bietsch has treated over 10,000 patients in his nineteen-year career as an orthodontist. He uses this experience to customize treatment plans for every patient to give them a unique beautiful smile. Everyone is unique; therefore, every patient gets a smile that is all their own.

The convenience of Dr. Bietsch’s mobile bus, combined with his nineteen years of experience, and his ability to create custom, beautiful smiles sets his practice apart from any other orthodontic office in Texas. His unbelievable care for each patient and ability to create perfection within your child’s smile is why so many parents and patients love going to Bietsch Orthodontics.

In Good Taste

Nutritious Family Meals Full of Flavor Putting healthy meals on the table continues to be a year-round goal for many families, one that can become more difficult with the satisfying and savory flavors of comfort-food season. From breakfast to dinner and every meal in-between, it can feel daunting to prepare simple and nutritious recipes without sacrificing taste.

While seeking healthier options for day-to-day meal planning and preparation, it’s important to start your decision-making at the grocery store. Look for items like all-natural Pure Farmland Bacon, made from pork raised without antibiotics. In addition, it contains no artificial ingredients, preservatives, MSG or added hormones, so you can feel good about incorporating a family favorite like bacon into any meal of the day.

Start the day with Baked Eggs in Avocado with Bacon, combining superfoods with a protein boost for an ideal, health-conscious breakfast. When it’s time to gather for a family dinner, try something new such as Bacon and Spaghetti Squash Fritter with Roasted Red Pepper Sauce for a filling and flavorful meal that can please nearly any palate.

Growing CELINA

Time to Review and Look Forward!!

Happy New Year to you and yours! By the time many of you are reading this, you may be well on your way to filling up your new calendar with a brand new to do list. Even though we tend to get into a “Get off to a good start mode,” it can be a really good time to look back at the past year and evaluate what we did well and perhaps what we would like to tweak a bit and do a better job or improve upon. It’s a good time of evaluation and planning for the new year.

Did you find yourself telling guests, “I wish you’d been here last week, when [fill in the blank] was in bloom?” You need to play with the sequence of bloom in your gardens. Strive for having a different section peak at different times, rather than trying to have the whole garden in flower all season. And give more focus to colorful and unusual foliage that’s stunning all season.

This can also be a great time of year to give the same type of evaluation to your landscaping. What worked out well? What didn’t? Keep in mind that reviewing this year’s gardening triumphs and defeats is the best guarantee of success when designing or contemplating the next year’s garden. Garden design requires a knowledge of plants and you’ve got a whole garden full to learn from. Don’t let that experience go to waste, just because it is cold outside or the early spring bulbs are not blooming yet.

Have enthusiastic growers crowded out other plants? If you’re wondering how your lilies turned into a jungle, it’s time to think about doing some thinning and dividing. If you don’t have the time for it now, at least mark the plants so you won’t be tempted to let them be in early spring. New gardeners like instant plants. As your garden matures, you need to be more selective about what gets space in it. If you’re pulling your hair out about too many plants having the run of your garden, consider putting in larger plants and more specimen shrubs.

What went right? What always brought a smile to your face? There’s usually at least one section of your garden that works really well. That should be a key to telling you what your style of gardening is, as well as what truly grows well in your conditions. Was it the blue iris that bloomed with the bright yellow daylilies? The hummingbirds flying to your Butterfly Bush? The way your Chinese Fringe Flower made all the other plants pop?

Viewing your garden in small sections makes it easy to set up season-long eye candy!

Perhaps your garden was beautiful, but you just don’t seem to be enjoying it the way you used to. Did the weeds get away from you? Make a note to mulch earlier next year. Sometimes we get caught up in planting or waiting to see what has self-seeded. Before you know it, it’s July and every weed seed that landed in your borders has now firmly taken hold.

Mulching isn’t fun, but it can free up so much time you would otherwise spend weeding and watering. If you really hate to mulch, get more plants.

Exposed soil is an open invitation to weeds.

What went wrong? Did the year seem like the endless year of problems?

Always out there keeping things cut back? Some weird bugs showed up on your favorite plants and started eating on them and you were not sure what to do exactly? Everything seemed dying for a drink of water, but your water restrictions or lack of your own time kept denying their thirst?

Did you take the actual time to smell your own roses? Did you spend any time sitting and enjoying your garden or better still, entertaining in your garden? It’s a joy to work in a garden, but you need to take time to appreciate what you’ve created. If you don’t have a seating area in your garden, design one this winter. Whether it’s a small table and chairs, a

22 | January 2019 WeAreCELINA.com

couple of functional chairs or a stone patio with a fire pit…if you build it, they will come. Nothing pulls guests into the garden faster than a warm chair with a view!

These are just a very few ideas that pop into my head when I begin to evaluate landscaping… perhaps it will help you do the same. Now back to all your emails!! I see you and will be responding to all of you very soon. Until next time...Happy Gardening and here’s to a prosperous healthy landscape this year for you all!

Jimmie Question: Hi Jimmie, great to see you the other day! Sorry to bug you again but I have a question and just want to be sure nothing is wrong. As you know, we are fairly new to the area from the west coast and what I enjoyed all year now looks dead.

I am referring to our Crape Myrtles, Redbuds and Japanese Maple trees. Can I be that unlucky and they all died at once? Thank you again for your time and it was so nice meeting you and your wife.

Kaitlan M. in Celina Answer: Hi Kaitlan, thank you for the kind words and nice to hear from you again too. I have good news for you! You are not the unluckiest person in Celina! You see, each and every one of those Ornamental trees are deciduous. Meaning they will drop their foliage when the ground temperatures get colder in the fall. It is a good time to do any pruning on those you might need and a good feeding to encourage new healthy spring growth. When temps warm back up in early spring your beautiful foliage will return better than ever! Welcome again to our fine state of Texas!
