CISD News

From The Desk of Rick DeMasters

When life pushes you over and it will from time to time, always push

It is hard to grasp that yet another year has flown by and our administration, faculty and staff members are getting ready to say goodbye to the Celina High School Class of 2019. I have no doubt that these young men and women are ready to embark on this great adventure called LIFE and look forward to their visits home next year to catch up on how they are making their mark on this world.

back harder. You may not always have someone pushing you to succeed.

We know that those on the outside looking in have heard that we are a district that excels athletically, but that is just one piece of the puzzle. For those to shine athletically, they must first put in the work in the classroom and this senior class has accomplished great things! From being named UIL District Academic Champions to State Championships in Film and Art, these students have left their mark both academically as well as athletically! As our seniors get ready to embark on their future plans, I ran across a post entitled “The Five W’s of Life.” Each “W” serves as a reminder to these graduates of important points that I hope they will remember as they begin to pave their own path towards their futures.

Simple enough, but the choices made in the heat of a moment can have

The Five W’s of Life Who you are is what makes you special. Those that witness your integrity and how you do life cannot control you. Always stand confident and others will take notice.

What lies ahead of you will always be a mystery. Never be frightened to explore. The unpredictability of life gives meaning to time. There is no better time spent than with loved ones or in the service of others.

8 | May 2019 CELINAMagazine.com

That’s when, you must have patience and persevere to overcome what obstacles lie in your path to your future.

Where there are choices to make, choose the one you won’t regret. a negative impact on your future plans. Choose wisely and seek guidance from those that have your best interests at heart. Always choose to enjoy each and every day.

Why

things happen in life’s journey will never be completely

understood. Take every experience in stride and continue to put one foot in front of the other. Don’t wait for something to happen. Make your own future by infusing it with action because we were all designed to fly.

As we all watch you take those final steps as a Bobcat, your life comes with a story, but it is up to you to add the details. Seize those opportunities that come your way for those may hold the key that will ignite your passion and your purpose. Each day may not hold an experience worth keeping, but it is the promise of a new start, a fresh perspective that transforms you from the dress rehearsal to what will be your greatest masterpiece.

Congratulations to the Celina High School Class of 2019!

COMMUNITY

City of Celina Receives 2019 National Main Street Accreditation The City of Celina has been designated as an accredited Main Street America™ program for meeting rigorous performance standards set by the National Main Street Center and recognizing their exemplary commitment to preservation-based economic development and community revitalization through the Main Street Approach™.

“We are proud to acknowledge this year’s 840 nationally accredited Main Street America programs that have worked tirelessly to strengthen their communities. said Patrice Frey, President & CEO of the National Main Street Center. “These programs deserve recognition for generating impressive economic returns, preserving community character, and celebrating local history. Main Street America Accredited communities are part of a powerful movement of changemakers, and their dedication to improving quality of life in the places they call home is inspiring.

The City of Celina’s Main Street Program’s performance is annually evaluated by the Texas Historical Commission which works in partnership with the National Main Street Center to identify the local programs that meet ten national performance standards. Evaluation criteria determines

10 | May 2019 CELINAMagazine.com

the communities that are building comprehensive and sustainable revitalization efforts and include standards such as fostering strong public-private partnerships, documenting programmatic progress, and actively preserving historic buildings.

The City of Celina has been a part of the Main Street Program since 1997 and in 2018 there was over a million dollars in reinvestment from both the private and public sector and 1,600 in volunteer hours in the Downtown Historic Square. The program is only getting stronger with 2019 projections far surpassing 2018. Rebecca Barton, the Downtown Development Manager for the City of Celina says, “Downtown is the heart of the Celina. We received national accreditation because everyone loves Downtown and is willing to make it a priority. We have an all-handson-deck approach and it is successful because of the hard work and dedicated hours of everyone: City Staff, the Main Street Advisory Board, Historic Preservation Commission, volunteers, business and building owners, Chamber, EDC, Celina ISD, and countless other local community organizations.

This year is gearing up to be even more successful in downtown with the City Council adopting the Downtown Master Plan in January 2019, several City and private rehabilitation projects already underway, new construction, and a full calendar of events that can be found at www. celina-tx.gov/downtownevents. If you would like to be a part of the efforts, you can contact Rebecca Barton at rbarton@celina-tx.gov or 972-382-2682 X7002.

COVER STORY

The Gold Standard in Custom Homes

By Cyndee Herrin

Dave R. Williams Homes is excited to be expanding our business to Celina.

It only stands to reason that our natural progression would take us north to our sister town. Since 1997, Dave R. Williams Homes has had a very strong presence in these two magnificent forward-thinking TOWNS! Moving into a new era but keeping true to what we have specialized in - one story true custom homes on large 1+ acre lots - we are excited to announce our new development-HIDDEN CREEKS POINTE. We took one of, if not THE, most beautiful parcels of land in Collin County - and turned it into….”A place where nature and peaceful living meet”. Although Hidden Creeks Pointe is our up and coming development in Celina, it will not be the last for this group. Other developments will be forthcoming soon.

Corporate Culture Our Motto: We are small enough to be personable but big enough to get the job done!! We work like a well-oiled machine; we all take great pride in what we do. We all work here because we love what we do. Owner Cyndee Herrin is very appreciative of all the members of her team and the effort they put in to making DRW the gold standard of custom builders. Each staff member interacts with our clients, are familiar with each project and are informed enough, as well as have the authority, to make the correct decisions on their own. “I have known everyone that works here for many years, some decades. I hope they all know, that I know, they are the reason for the success here at DRW.”

Operations and Capabilities We have built over 30 houses per year, but we like to keep that number closer to 25. We like to do what we do best. Taking pride in what we build, but also in how we build our homes. We take people’ s dreams and make them a reality. Our relationship with our clients is one of our strongest attributes and something we take enormous pride in.

12 | May 2019 CELINAMagazine.com

Our commitment to our homeowners is what sets us apart from other builders. We start with a blank sheet of paper and through working with our designers and listening to our clients, we design a luxury oneof-a-kind, true custom home.

Sustainability and Environment We have a whole home efficiency program. We provide our clients ENERGY SAVINGS without sacrificing stunning designs. We strive to save our homeowners hundreds of dollars in ENERGY EFFICIENCY COSTS. We maintain quality assurance through third party inspections and testing. Technologically advanced systems of air filtration and fresh air exchange give our clients confidence that their home offers healthy air to breath. We are members of North Texas Greenbelt Association and Texas Energy Star.

Marketing Our best source of marketing is our customer base. I believe that if you drove down a street in one of our subdivisions, you could stop and ask any of our homeowners and they would give us a good reference. We have a good relationship with realtors in our community because they have seen firsthand how we treat our clients and how unique our product is. We are one of the few custom builders in the area.

Uniqueness I believe our company – large enough to command respect and good pricing from developers and subcontractors and small enough for me to be involved with every client – is unique. I know of no other builder in Dallas who does what we do and does it consistently. Designs and styles in the home building industry are ever changing, and we like to be on the forefront of the new styles. We strive to have a smart balance between design and functionality along with an emphasis on an energy efficient home.

Lot reservations for 17 lots in Hidden Creeks Pointe are now being taken.

What’s All the Hype About Drip Irrigation?

Ultra efficient and easy to install, drip irrigation systems are ideal for watering pots, beds and trees. The main goal of any irrigation system is to put water on plants period. Exactly how much water is distributed and how efficiently the system runs are the important details to consider.

There are many techniques for distributing water, including crop irrigation, pop-up spray systems commonly used to water lawns, and drip irrigation.

Flood irrigation is often used in areas where water canals flow through the country supplying fields and yards with water that is siphoned out of the canal. The water is routed onto the desired area in large amounts, to be absorbed into the soil and to the root zone. This is a very effective method that, surprisingly, is not as inefficient as it might first seem.

A typical pop-up spray irrigation system that has too much pressure, causing lots of mist, and with poorly adjusted heads that throw water onto the sidewalks and into the streets, may actually be less efficient.

Drip irrigation is on the other end of the spectrum. Water, at low pressure, is applied to relatively small areas so that evaporation losses from misting are eliminated, and flooding and runoff to undesired areas are removed. Drip irrigation, simply put, is a method of applying water directly to a target root zone in a controlled manner, limiting losses to evaporation and run off.

18 | May 2019 CELINAMagazine.com

Components of a do-it-yourself drip irrigation system include an antisiphon device to protect drinking water, fittings and filters to trap small particles of sand and grit that can stop up the small orifices of drip systems. Do-it-yourself kits for homeowners are available at most garden centers; hardware stores and irrigation supply stores starting at less than $100. These kits include everything needed to set up a simple drip system that hooks up to your hose bib connector: an anti-siphon device, a number of fittings, nozzles, plus a given amount of pipe (depending on the intended application). Simple and easy to follow instructions help with installation, which can often be completed in one afternoon. Timers can also be added for ease of operation.

Installing drip irrigation can be fairly simple or quite complex, depending on the area needing coverage. Small, stand alone systems designed simply to water patio pots; beds and trees are ideal for do-it-yourselfers.

Larger systems, which are generally added to existing lawn systems, can be installed to water lawns, but these types of systems are best left to the professionals.

Keep in mind that there are several state laws that govern potable community water systems and that it’s sometimes easier and less expensive to hire a professional. Texas requires that anyone servicing or installing irrigation systems for a fee be licensed by the state, and that all systems incorporate a backflow prevention device to protect drinking water from contamination by back siphoning. Before installing your drip irrigation system, check with your local water provider to determine exactly what type of safety requirements or preventive measures are necessary.

Did You Know??

Anytime a licensed irrigator comes out to your property and finds, during the course of service, that a system is noncompliant with state regulations, he must, by law, bring the system up to grade or disable it. If you have an old irrigation system, chances are revisions will be required to bring your system up to code.

Question: Hi Jimmie! Thank you for taking the time to help us at the church last week with all the kids! They learned so much! I forgot to ask you if I have a limited space available for something to plant in full sun that attracts pretty butterflies what do you recommend? Linda L. in Celina

Small Animal Medicine and Surgery Birds | Exotics Pocket Pets and Reptiles All Dog and Cat Breed Grooming and Boarding

Answer: Hi there Linda, it was truly my pleasure helping out the kids! They were all a joy to be around. Your answer is a pretty simple one…a Butterfly Bush! Different species available but most common is a purple one. Hummingbirds may be stopping by your place for a visit also!

Allison M. Stead DVM Clara B. Vadala DVM

Question: Jimmie, thank you for taking the time to answer our questions, I realize you are very busy. My question is what can I do to get the most out of my Geraniums? They are beautiful in the spring, but they always run out of gas by summer.

Thanks again for your time - Destiny L. in Celina Answer: Hi Destiny! That’s the nature of Geraniums in Texas. They actually perform best when temperatures are consistently between 60 and 85 degrees. That’s why they are so popular in the Midwest and the Northeast. Our best bet in Texas, is really to grow them in pots. Enjoy them from the first warm days of very early spring on into early summer. They’ll bloom riotously. As it turns hot, you can start giving them more shade in the afternoon. Eventually you will have them in enough shade that the flowering will slow or even stop, but perhaps you can nurse them through the summer so they can bloom again once fall arrives. If you plant them in the ground, you lose that portability. Finally, there is breeding progress being made toward more heat tolerant types, but there is always ample room for improvement.

Until next time………..Happy gardening!!
