Pondering Proximity It’s 6:28 a.m. on a soon-to-be hot Texas summer morning, and I’m sitting on the back patio enjoying a silent cup of coffee. My dog, Sparky, is also in the yard. At home or in the office, he is never far from my side, and this morning we are enjoying our usual routine.

School is out, and it’s silent, except for the chirping birds and the occasional neighboring air conditioner already working more than it should. It seems even the pesky mosquitos aren’t awake yet. Scratch that last thought — literally.

I sit and sip waiting as part of my experiment and, unfortunately, I don’t have to wait long. Just five minutes in, I hear the first roar of an airplane overhead. Before the day is done, most of you, Sparky and I will hear more planes than we care to count. Except for the outer edges of my day, I’m mostly numb to the hum above, but this morning I’m anxious to hear how many jet engines will interrupt this letter before it is complete.

I like Southlake. I want to type faster.

As a former traveling executive regularly flying out of Newark Liberty, being in close proximity to the airport was something I could only dream about. From my home in Mahwah, New Jersey, I had a 37-mile, traffic-laden, three-hour journey to the airport.

Here I sit this morning, just a 15-minute cab ride away from DFW Airport, with no parking or shuttle bus to contend with. Ten years in Southlake, and I’m still not sure how much it costs to park at DFW. And I’m not going to bother looking it up either,. because I can transport my whole family to our vacation vessel and back in true comfort for far less effort and cost than a week’s parking.

The convenience of air travel has opened up the world to all of us. With the proximity in which we all sit, the next destination is closer now than ever before. Unfortunately, so are those jet engines. From now through October, three runways at our neighboring airport will have temporarily closed for regular maintenance, potentially causing new air traffic patterns over our homes. It all has me wondering if we will be hearing even more noise in the months to come.

Well, there goes another plane, but I’m not letting it bother me. I don’t have the time — my flight leaves in less than two hours, and I have yet to pack.

Yours in Southlake Style,

Mike Tesoriero Mike@SouthlakeStyle.com

room UTOPIAN ENVIRONMENT NEON FUTURE AUGUST 12 Disc jockey and electric dance music entertainer Steve Aoki features an impressive list of high-profile musicians on his upcoming studio album, including Waka Flocka Flame, Fall Out Boy, Empire of the Sun and Bonnie McKee. This album is unlike anything Aoki, or the music industry, has ever done before.

The two-part release, with the second half of the record expected to hit retailers in 2015, crafts two different soundscapes into one show-stopping album.

REVIVAL STEPHEN KING Indulgences It’s no surprise that when you think of Stephen King you think “paranormal,” but this internationally acclaimed author is taking his style one step further with his latest electrifying novel. This rich, yet disturbing novel spans five decades as it follows Jamie Morton and a new minister, Charles Jacobs, as they indulge their secret obsession for lustful pleasures. Move over Nathaniel Hawthorne and Edgar Allen Poe, King’s latest novel is bound to give us the most terrifying conclusion yet.

IF I STAY IN THEATERS AUGUST 22 Live for Love A recent theme in Hollywood is the adaption of books into films, with “If I Stay” next on the list to make its silver screen debut. Audiences will follow Mia Hall as she deals with an out-of-body experience after a car accident puts her in a coma.

Her struggle between choosing to wake up and live a life completely different than the one she imagined is sure to take us on an emotional rollercoaster. Be sure to bring your tissues!

PARTNERS AUGUST 4, ON FX

Overruled This will either be the greatest or lamest dynamic duo the entertainment industry has put together: Allen Braddock (Kelsey Grammer) and Marcus Jackson (Martin Lawrence) play two Chicago lawyers from opposite backgrounds who cross paths as they each face a personal crisis. Jackson is a community activist going through a divorce when he meets Braddock, an elitist lawyer who was fired from his father’s firm. As luck would have it – no surprise here – they become partners.

community PARK VILLAGE CONSTRUCTION RESULTS IN TRAFFIC Commuters and motorists traveling down S. Carroll Avenue and Southlake Boulevard have noticed the significant amount of new construction happening at this intersection. The site will soon become home to a new 185,000-square-foot shopping center called Park Village that will sit on 22 acres of land. In June, the Park Village contractor began Phase 1 of a two-phase project meant to aid in the preparation of Park Villages’ scheduled fall opening.

The newest development underway in Southlake means new jobs and a thriving economy for the city. However, new businesses mean a temporary inconvenience due to construction activity. Consequently, drivers should be aware of the upcoming construction on S. Carroll Avenue, according to mysouthlakenews.com. Construction on both phases is expected to last 60 days and will include the widening of Carroll Avenue along the Park Village frontage, as well as the construction of a deceleration lane for the main drive into the development, and center median improvements.

Alexander was Texas Christian University’s third starter in Omaha. TCU opened the series with a dramatic 2-3 victory over Texas Tech. Alexander was a freshman All-American selection, leading the Frogs with 10 victories on the season.

DRAGONS DOMINATE FOR UIL THREE-PEAT PERFORMANCE The final tallies are now official for the University Interscholastic League (UIL) Lone Star Cup, and for the third year in a row the Southlake Carroll Dragons took home the honor as the state’s most accomplished school across band, theater, academic and athletic pursuits.

The Dragons celebrated state championships in boys and girls cross country, boys swimming and diving, and wrestling for the 2013–2014 school year.

Strong playoff performances from girls volleyball and boys golf, in addition to several team district championships, also added to the UIL distinction.

With a final score of 115 points, Southlake once again soared past perennial powerhouse The Woodlands, which finished in second place behind Carroll for the third straight year with a total score of 78. With this latest Lone Star Cup, Southlake Carroll has taken home its fifth UIL cup since the 1997–1998 school year and third 5A Lone Star Cup title in as many years.

The University of Texas at Austin, in an effort to provide leadership and guidance to public school debate and athletic teachers, created the UIL in 1910.

Since its inception, it has grown into the largest interschool organization of its kind in the world.

CROSSFIT DFW BULKS UP ON SPACE AND CLASSES CrossFit DFW recently moved to 401 S. Pearson Ln., which was formerly known as the Thunderdome. The space expansion will give current and new members a bigger and better workout experience. New classes are being added to the weekly schedule, including a new BASICS course for people of all ages and abilities.

“We understand CrossFit can be intimidating,” says owner Lance Giles. “This class provides a cardiodriven workout without heavy weights, high-skilled movements and the complex Olympic weightlifting of other CrossFit DFW classes.”

New members are required to spend their first four weeks in CrossFit BASICS. Various movements include running, rowing, wall balls, kettlebell swings, squats, light deadlifts, assisted pull-ups, push-ups, shoulder press and burpees.

A CrossFit gym is different from the average fitness gym, given that members work out in small classes led by a coach that teaches one-hour sessions. The sessions include a warm-up, skills and technique training and the 15- to 20-minute workout of the day, which always varies to prevent boredom or body aches.

SOUTHLAKE WELCOMES ANOTHER EAST COAST STAPLE First came Duff’s Wings, from Buffalo, New York. Now Texans can enjoy more northern fare: the iconic Philly Cheesesteak Sandwhich.

Penn Station East Coast Subs plans to bring more than a dozen of its fast-casual restaurants to Dallas-Fort Worth after signing an agreement with Coppell-based franchisee PS DFW. The Ohio-based eatery serves grilled East Coast-style sub sandwiches, fresh-cut fries and its famous lemonade (made in-house daily).

One of the first three locations is expected to open this month at the corner of Southlake Boulevard and State Highway 114. The company currently has 270 locations across 13 states, and the Southlake location will be the company’s first expansion into Texas. The Dallas-Fort Worth arrival, led by franchisees David Sherzer and Dave Coussirat of PS DFW, is part of a bigger plan to open 30 restaurants this year in locations throughout the nation, including Chicago, Atlanta, Kansas City and Detroit.

Cub Scout and GC diver Jackson Miller says that pursuing both interests helps him become a better leader.

he actually has another not-so-hidden talent that has made him someone to watch in the diving world and around the city of Southlake in general!

“The season is about to kick off again with regionals, zones and Junior Nationals later this year in Tennessee” says Jackson.

Jackson was a typical six-year old hanging out with his mom, Melissa, at the Carroll High School Aquatics Center where they were watching his older sisters, Olivia and Grace, work out in the water. Jackson says, “I noticed the GC Diving Team at the other end of the pool and went over to watch them.” Jackson says his interest was immediate and he tried out for the team and was soon diving into the top of the leader board in many competitions.

The Eubanks sixth-grader says, in many ways, Scouting and diving go hand in hand. Jackson adds, “belonging to both of these organizations has helped me become a leader, and I keep pushing myself to do better.”

Last fall he represented Team USA in the Junior Pan American Diving Championships in Tucson, Arizona and brought home the bronze medal for his efforts on the 3 meter springboard. Last summer he placed first for the GC Team in the west nationals, in fact the entire GC Team won first place for the tenth year in a row!

Scott Miller, Jackson’s father, is a former Eagle Scout and still stays active in the local Scouting scene. “I’m very proud of what Jackson has accomplished at such an early age, but he’s really just an ordinary kid.”

So what’s in the future for Jackson, we ask? Following in his father’s footsteps to make Eagle Scout and just maybe a shot at the 2020 Summer Olympics in Tokyo, to which Jackson replies with a smile and a couple of head nods, leading us believe a yes to both!

Up in the Air Concerns over airline noise are elevating for communities near DFW International airport.

By Christina Mlynski

AUG 14 • 27

hat first drew you to Southlake? For many, it was the tree-lined streets and parks, great schools and world-class shopping — along with the close proximity to DFW Airport, a gateway to nonstop travel to just about anywhere in the world. But lately that benefit has come at a price.

While aircraft noise has been a concern for Southlake residents since the ’80s, the last 18 months have seen an escalation in the use of runways that allow for planes to arrive and depart directly over the city.

In particular, the runway known as 31L at DFW International Airport has become a challenge for residents and thus a challenge for city officials.

“In the fall of 2013, the wind patterns allowed for more aircraft to land on the runway and the noise complaints came piling in,” explains former Southlake City Councilwoman Pamela Muller, who has been a part of Southlake’s aircraft noise and utilization program for more than 25 years. “It’s nothing the tower is doing or the pilot is doing.

It’s just nature.”

That particular runway is typically used just 2 percent of the time for departures, when there are strong winds out of the north — but it’s on those very days that aircraft will experience drift and therefore find it more difficult to maintain the center line of the aircraft utilization zone over Southlake. In addition, in recent years DFW Airport adjusted practices on this runway causing a higher volume of departures because of new maintenance programs.

According to airport officials, “Regular airport runway closures are necessary for safe operations on DFW’s airfield, from painting runway markings and replacing lighting, to extensive pavement repairs. While DFW must periodically close runways for safety and maintenance, DFW developed its runway closure program with local communities in mind to keep them informed and minimize potential noise impacts.”

By working with local communities’ best interests in mind, DFW does schedule necessary runway closures during less-impactful periods of the year, typically summer months, where the weather is expected to cause fewer delays in construction.

The airport, in its efforts to keep surrounding cities informed, announced closures on runway 31L, which began in June of this year, but end August 17. The predominantly south winds over the summer months enable the Federal Aircraft Administration to regularly redistribute flights away from 31L. But remaining scheduled closures for this fall, including those of the eastern runways 35C and 35R, will ultimately affect air traffic over Southlake. Although DFW Airport does not anticipate those closures to significantly affect operations closer to the area, it does note, “the FAA must necessarily redistribute aircraft during a runway closure in order to safely and efficiently move aircraft in and out of DFW Airport, which may include use of Runway 31L, in particular, as aircraft operations continue to grow.”

With a unique vantage point as both the Mayor of Southlake and Vice President of Commercial Development for DFW Airport, John Terrell has a solid understanding of the situation — past, present and future.

He explains, “Since the 1980s, the City of Southlake has worked with the FAA the DFW Airport Board and its staff on land use and noise concerns. This team effort resulted in the development of the Air Corridor Utilization Zones to clearly identify areas where airplanes might fly over Southlake, particularly during takeoff. In the end, this document has helped City leaders effectively manage and guide Southlake’s development requests.”

By the end of the ’80s, Southlake was in a legal battle with the FAA, DFW Airport and a few airlines as a result of aircraft noise. However, a settlement was reached in which an agreed upon noise-impact corridor was established.

The city currently uses this noise-impact corridor in its land-use planning. Southlake and the airport have a compatibility agreement in which the city agreed to limit development that is in proximity of the airport when it comes to residential, commercial developments, schools and child care centers.

If an incompatible development, which was outlined by the FAA, is planned within in the area, the airport will send a notice to Southlake with its objections. Additionally, Southlake has required enhanced building standards of all developments within this corridor.

“We agreed that if [the FAA and DFW Airport] keep the aircraft on the center line, we will require insulation for noise reduction within the homes,” Muller says. “Fortunately, the homes are built so well that it hasn’t been a difficult issue. We also make homeowners sign a form so that they know where the aircraft are and what to expect.”

While Southlake understands there is little the city can do to regulate or manage the activities of a federal agency or even a quasi-governmental entity such as DFW Airport, city council members rely on open communication between the parties involved in managing the community’s expectations.

Such an arrangement has proven to be helpful in developing initiatives aimed at reducing noise as much as possible. DFW’s Noise Compatibility Program, for instance, utilizes noise sensors to actively monitor aircraft noise levels not only around the airport but in surrounding communities. The program also maintains a 24-hour hour telephone hotline and manages email inquiries through the address dfwnoise@dfwairport.com.

Southlake also joined a national organization that works to reduce aircraft noise called the National Organization to Insure a Sound Controlled Environment (NOISE). The group represents communities trying to find solutions to aviation noise. The city set aside money in its 2014 budget to join NOISE after complaints over the aircraft traffic surfaced in 2012 and 2013. Southlake is the only community within the advocacy group that had adopted a Master Land Use plan that takes into consideration the current flight patterns and the appropriate land uses under these areas.

DFW Airport officials in the noise compatibility office constantly monitor flight tracks. However, since the runway pointing toward Southlake does not have the computer navigational aid of other runways, known as NextGen, strong winds can push aircraft over residential areas.

DFW Airport and the FAA agreed roughly 10 years

ago that the runways impacting the city aren’t used often enough to warrant navigational equipment. Given that NextGen is not a part of the main runways at the airport, planes may begin to drift in a strong north wind, pushing the aircraft over more populated areas. And DFW monitors sound from aircrafts and from local community activities through the use of 35 permanently mounted noise monitor sites located in nine cities in three counties over a 110-square mile area.

While the FAA and DFW Airport do not see an immediate need for navigational aid, technologies to reduce aircraft noise have evolved over time through efforts of aircraft and engine manufacturers as well as NASA. The ultimate goal of satellite aids such as NextGen is to create greater efficiencies, resulting in more flexible and direct flight paths over commercial and residential developments.

In the meantime, “It’s quite obvious that there’s a fairly simple solution,” Muller says. “Other communities are building residences right up to the airport, but we’ve got to all live together. We are all neighbors. There are a lot of executives who live in Southlake because of the convenience to the airport and the noise becomes a backdrop.”

“The negative impact to neighboring cities close to DFW Airport, like Southlake, Grapevine, Colleyville, Coppell and Euless, is that there will be airplane noise when you live around a major airport,” explains former city

councilman Martin Schelling. “Over the years, the decibel noise from airplanes has been greatly reduced and will continue to be reduced with newer technology. Unfortunately, they will never be completely silent.”

Still, the bigger benefit of living in proximity to one of the busiest airports in the country seems to be a valid point to live in Southlake and surrounding communities.

“Living close to an international airport provides great access to most destinations in the U.S. and world, and generally with good prices and itineraries,” Schelling says. “I don’t believe that the airplane noise will significantly affect our way of life in Southlake, unless the FAA changes the flight patterns and approach elevations from the way they are operating today.”

In the end, departures over Southlake account for a small percent of DFW’s total operations, still the airport continues to work collaboratively with both FAA and the airlines to seek short-term practices, which could lead to the best long-term solutions. One successful initiative implemented during last year’s increased traffic was to have the runway’s departing aircraft reduce the number of low altitude turnouts within a 5-mile mark.

With thoughts of the future, Mayor Terrell says, “Ongoing communication is the key to this conversation. A lot has changed since the 1980s and our conversations need to evolve as well. I know that all sides are committed to making this work and to bring great ideas to the table.”

Creating leaders one student at a time, CISD’s teachers of the year impart much more than just lessons from a textbook.

By Gina Mayfield Photography by BluDoor Studios

“The mediocre teacher tells. The good teacher explains.

The superior teacher demonstrates. The great teacher inspires.”

W

ith that famous William Arthur Ward quote, Jared Sutton wisely begins the Philosophy of Teaching section of his Texas Teacher of the Year application for 2015, an award he now qualifies for after earning the Secondary Teacher of the Year Award from Carroll ISD. Jared always knew he wanted to teach history. But during his college years at the University of North Texas, he says,

“I was more interested in the subject matter itself than taking a bunch of classes on how to run a classroom.” It was there he met professor Rick Range, who Jared says could make history come alive. Jared knew then and there what he was meant to do: become a storyteller.

Jared’s passion for history led him down a long and winding road, one that would land him in an eighth grade U.S. history classroom at George Dawson Middle School.

With a double major in Political Science and History, and a master of arts in U.S. History, Jared got off to a pretty good start. But just as he was nearing graduation, the economy took a turn for the worse.

Armed with an alternative certification and no formal teaching experience, Jared’s prospects looked bleak. Then he came across a now-defunct campus of Winfree Academy Charter Schools in Grapevine, an alternative education program where, as its homepage states, students come to “recover lost credits and skills.” As Jared so humbly puts it, “They were gracious enough to offer me my first teaching job.”

But, as it turned out, skills and credits weren’t all that was lost. Jared describes the student body as “gang members, drug addicts and the 10 percent no school wants.” Other schools sent their students to Winfree as a last ditch effort to get them an education, and not many came by choice. But Jared says some of his greatest rewards in teaching came during those years at Winfree.

“I wouldn’t trade those three years in education for anything. I learned how to relate to students there. I learned how to build relationships.”

While teaching at Winfree, Jared also worked a second job as an adjunct professor of U.S. History at North Central Texas College before hearing about an opening at Dawson. He jumped at the chance to teach history in a more traditional school setting. Although Dawson students come from different backgrounds, the skill set he learned at Winfree still applied. “Underneath all the deep layers, whether they’re an affluent child of Southlake, a valedictorian candidate or whatever, they all have heart.

You have to figure out how to reach them. That’s the common denominator.”

For Jared, that relationship building is the key to education in general. One of his biggest goals in teaching is to make students feel cared for and appreciated, which in turn will make them want to come to class and learn. “You can have the most fantastic teacher in the world, and if they can’t relate to kids, and they can’t build relationships with kids, those kids will not learn. They just won’t.

Because they don’t have faith in you, that you care for them. They don’t have the desire to be with you and around you, and that’s what makes a teacher a teacher.

Kids need to want to come and be around you, then they’re absorbing what you have to tell them.”

And Jared has a lot to say. He believes the best way to benefit the students you teach — and the teachers you work with — is to develop a deeper knowledge of your subject matter. In 2011, Jared was one of only 20 history teachers from across the country,

and the only representative from the state of Texas, chosen to attend the Bill of Rights Institute’s Founders Fellowship in Washington, D.C., a week-long in-depth study into the country’s founders. Constitutional scholars offer tours of the National Archives, Mount Vernon and other historical sites, and educators walk away with lesson plans and classroom applications in order to pass on their knowledge to students, something he’s free to do at Dawson.

Jared says the greatest joy in teaching for Carroll ISD is the freedom the school district allows him. “They allow teachers to try. They allow teachers to be different. They allow teachers to experiment.” In other parts of the state, he says, curriculum is pre-determined and so is how you teach it.

Jared credits Carolyn Pruitt, the History Department chair at Dawson, as a contributing factor to his success and a big supporter. “When there’s an opportunity to try something new, that’s different and out of the box and challenging, we typically jump feet first to try that kind of stuff, whether it’s building faux Facebook pages or creating Twitter exchanges with historical figures. Those are risky things to do because they’ll either work and students will learn from them or they fail miserably,” he says.

As tech-driven as students are today, they still love the old-school stuff too. To that end, Jared’s students clean cotton to demonstrate the usefulness of Eli Whitney’s cotton gin, dig for gold (albeit in the form of painted fish tank rocks) to experience the fever pitch of the California Gold Rush, and communicate via a telegraph machine to learn the significance of Samuel Morse. Yet Jared fully embraces the tech-driven society we live in today. He takes part in Dragons Go Digital, the Carroll ISD Technology Department’s year-long program for tech-savvy educators looking for training, resources and collaboration.

Outside the classroom, Jared also sponsors the student council, a group that works not only to benefit the school, but the community at large. This past school year, the council hosted a school-wide Stuff the Bus toy drive and hand delivered the toys to Grace Grapevine, which proved to be a humbling experience for his students as they learned the difference between needs and wants first-hand.

Carroll allows you the opportunity to go out and be you and teach your style, and supports you in a way to really influence kids. That’s a huge thing. You have the ability to do basically whatever you want, that you think is best to help kids. That’s powerful.”

elissa Bailey’s students aren’t just learning about the world, they’re changing it. Her goal as an educator at Durham Intermediate School is to inspire her fifth graders to not only learn about Social Studies, but how that knowledge applies to their lives and our world today. “I want my students to be productive members of society and good stewards of our environment now and in the future,” she says. Even though they’re still young, Melissa knows her students can still make a lasting impact on their school, community and the world.

Growing up, there were many experiences that influenced Melissa’s decision to become a teacher. Volunteer work with her church preschool and vacation bible school, plus the North Texas Special Olympics, revealed her love for children. Today, service learning — a method of teaching that combines classroom instruction with meaningful community service — plays a big role in not only inspiring her students, but making learning fun. And it’s a mission of the Social Studies program at Durham. “I want them to understand that their culture needs to be one of caring, and of looking and seeing other’s needs. Because that’s how societies grow,” Melissa says.

This year, she worked to secure an AP Boosters grant to fund a project with KIVA, a nonprofit that empowers people around the world through a $25 loan. “They might need a loan to purchase things for their food stall in the Philippines to support their family,” Melissa says. Working in small “businesses,” students held a position such as financial advisor or marketing director, and researched the loans being requested for both feasibility and relevance in terms of the borrower’s culture and geographic region.

“Some groups were very business minded and wanted to pick someone who really wanted to be an entrepreneur, whereas another group was really trying to help someone who just needed to help their family survive. Others wanted to fund a loan for someone trying to go to school. We left it up to them,” she says. Melissa served as the “board” approving the loans. In the end, students granted 45 loans

and increased their social and global awareness in the process.

Another year, through a generous grant from the Carroll Education Foundation, Melissa received 13 iPod touches, which allowed her students to correspond with students in England. “We called it Geography Across the Ocean,” Melissa says. Fifth graders on both sides of the Atlantic swapped stories about their lives and cultures. A modern twist on the pen pal concept, her students and their European “email pals” collaborated on environmental research. “They worked on a project about how geography affects alternative energy sources. They were able to see that they had the same concerns that we did about using alternative energy versus fossil fuel,” Melissa says.

This past Valentine’s Day, her students partnered with Meals on Wheels to add student-made Valentines and books to each delivery. “My father delivers Meals on Wheels on Fridays in the Dallas area, so we were able to get the Valentines to that chapter, so that each person on Valentine’s Day received a Valentine with their meal, just to know somebody else was thinking about them,” she says.

During the class party that day, in lieu of the typical craft, Melissa’s homeroom decorated fun care packets for the kids checking in to Cook Children’s Urgent Care center in Southlake on Valentine’s weekend.

“That’s what they chose to do,” she says. “It’s the idea that even though you’re young, you can still give back, you can still make a difference in

somebody’s life by serving others.”

At the school level, Melissa sponsors Durham’s Recycling Club, which now works with Terracycle, an organization that provides free waste collection programs for hard to recycle materials, then turns the waste into affordable green products. In return, Terracycle helps support the club and donates recycled items for repurpose.

Melissa’s also a part of Durham’s Spokes 4 Hope, a nonprofit that donates bicycles with a mission to brighten the lives of children victimized by abuse. To earn money to buy the bikes, students purchased donated bears for $5 each, decorated them, and resold them at auction for as much as $150 each.

Then came bike build “day,” which turned into just a couple of hours due to an outpouring of local support.

“We had so many volunteers from the community, from our Southlake EMS departments and police departments. They all came and we set up an assembly line in the gym. The kids were helping, parents volunteered, teachers volunteered, and we built bikes for kids to receive at Christmas.

It was neat for the kids to see that they were able to do that,” she says.

At the classroom level, Melissa modifies that George Santayana quote, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it,” but, she adds, “those who do learn can change the course of history.” She wants her students, too, to bring their own perspective to historical events and figures and think outside the box (What if Abra-

ham Lincoln never existed?). With no limits or preconceived notions, their responses astound and inspire her every day.

As important as it is for Melissa to make connections between her students and the world around them, she knows it’s even more important for her to connect with her students as individuals. Her guiding principle being John C. Maxwell’s thought, “People don’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.” Her goal each day is to be the kind of teacher she would want for her own daughter. “I want my students to know first and foremost that I love and care about them as children, not just as students.”

In everything Melissa does, she feels a tremendous amount of support from the Carroll ISD. What she appreciates most is the level of community involvement and the culture of giving back. “Everybody really is a Dragon,” she says.

“They want the best for our kids and our district.”

In the end, Melissa wants her class to be the one that children remember because it changed how they viewed life or an event and they are better for that change. “There are people out there in need, and needs are different, needs are not always financial. Sometimes it’s an emotional need that you can fill just by doing something nice for somebody else. I tell them all the time to be the reason someone smiles today. I tell them they have the power to change the world, and to go out and do just that.”

Avery Chidiac, Senior Choir Program

Aside from academics, Avery’s major focus is choir.

Starting out her freshman year, she grew and developed her musical skills as well as character.

Choir has taught her to continue learning about music and about herself. Just like any other team sport, there cannot be a weak link or the whole team goes down. The choir program provides a chance for everyone to support and help each other to reach their maximum potential.

ABOUT AVERY: When she is not belting her vocals, Avery is dipping into other activities on campus, including National Honor Society (NHS), French Club, Carroll Marketing and Sports Internship (CMSI), and the Music National Honor Society (Tri-M). Outside of school she participates in piano and vocal lessons at Southlake Music Academy. Since joining choir, she was placed in the Varsity Women’s Choir and Varsity Mixed Choir. Additionally, Avery participated in the All State process for the past three years, and is a part of the Region Choir, participating in Solo and Ensemble. She was recently elected as Choir President for the program.

FAVORITE CLASS: French. “This year I am enrolled in PreAp French IV, and I have loved every minute of it. Learning any language, I think, gives you a new perspective on the world. It’s a great way to learn more about another culture.”

Southlake Music Academy Owner Sheri Boyce says: “Avery has been taking private vocal lessons here for seven years and just recently added piano lessons.

Avery has a very pure voice—not contrived— she works to develop her natural instrument and doesn’t try to sound like other singers. She’s very creative, artistic and also very diligent—I know she will be enormously successful in whatever she does in the future.”

Adam Horne, Senior Carroll Jazz Orchestra

As first chair and lead trumpeter in the Carroll Jazz Orchestra, first chair in the Wind Symphony Orchestra and member of the Varsity Marching Band, Adam is a triple threat. He has traveled to England as part of the Carroll-Tring International Music Exchange program and to New York City for the Essentially Ellington High School Jazz Band Competition. At the competition he received personal accolades while the entire Carroll Jazz Orchestra won the award for outstanding brass section.

About Adam: When Adam isn’t trumpeting, he enjoys soccer, martial arts, chess club, baseball, basketball and football. He earned a Black Belt in Jiu Jitsu when he was 11 years old. Additionally, Adam has been a member of the Boy Scouts of America since the first grade. In May, he received the Eagle Bronze Palm for earning five additional merit badges since becoming an Eagle Scout more than a year ago.

When the week is done, he enjoys playing with the orchestra at White’s Chapel United Methodist Church during Sunday services.

Favorite Class: Jazz Band. “In sixth grade, the best thing that happened to me was the start of band class.

My father recommended I try the trumpet. Once in high school, my Jazz Band Director, taught me about different types of jazz music and introduced me to a variety of jazz musicians. Both band directors, Mr. Lown and Mr. Bach, have challenged me to continue improving my skills.”

Jazz Director David Lown says: “Adam began his high school career as one of the most talented and promising students in the Carroll Jazz program and he has only become more outstanding and brilliant since then. Adam is a great musician and leader, and he is destined for great things after he leaves Carroll.”

Joann Kim, Senior Extraordinary Volunteer Joann has received many awards for her involvement with Carroll ISD programs and community activities. Her repertoire ranges from turning in more than 100 community service hours every year, to receiving outstanding dedication awards, as well as accolades for her involvement in Southlake.

However, the personal experiences and life lessons established from each club is Joann’s favorite achievement.

ABOUT JOANN: Priding herself on being distinctive and original, Joann brings a refreshing flavor to Carroll ISD. With her involvement in various groups and activities, including the Key Club, National Art Society and Summer Bible Training at The True Love Paul Church, she is anything but ordinary.

FAVORITE CLASS: Math. “I love topics that are direct and clear. Last year I came to love math even more, I had a class unofficially called “Life Lessons and Algebra 2.” In this class, our dear teacher often intertwined the math lesson with some kind of moral idea that inspired the students to do better at school. “ Director of the Summer Bible Training Camp says: “I would like to commend Joann Kim in being such an essential member in our program. Joann has been a volunteer at our program for the past four summers, and I can honestly say she is one of the most devoted, responsible, passionate and trustworthy person I have ever met. She was always going above and beyond on every project; it never mattered if the assignment was big or small, formal or informal. When working with others, she proved to be a great leader; she accepted the opinions of others, never criticizing or judging, and found the common ground that was needed. Overall, Joann is a great girl, always striving for nothing less than perfection.”

Working together to keep SOUTHLAKE SAFE

The youngest and most inexperienced drivers are most at risk, with 16 percent of all distracted driving crashes involving drivers under age 20. But they are not alone. At any given moment, drivers of all experience levels—in more than 660,000 vehicles—are using cell phones or distracted during normal business hours. In Southlake, we have a lot going on, construction zones, school zones, bicycle riders, runners, walkers and families making memories. With more than 47,000 vehicles traveling on Southlake Boulevard daily, we need to keep our focus on what lies ahead because it only takes 3 seconds to change a life forever.

Elijah Snow, Senior

Captain of the Computer Science Team With encouragement from Linda Woessner, Elijah began participating in Computer Science competitions and competed in the Flower Mound UIL invitational placing third in individuals.

Additionally, he finished in the top 10 in state during the Best of Texas Round, and the Lockheed Martin Code Quest. In UIL District, he placed second individually, while the Advanced Team took home fourth place. Most notably, the team won the UIL Regional competition in May. ABOUT ELIJAH: Known for his cool, calm and collective demeanor, the ringleader of the Carroll compsci program decided to join the team based on his interest in video games. Under Woessner’s guidance, Elijah became more interested in the program and began attending various competitions with junior teams until he was selected for the UIL team. Outside of the Computer Science Team, Elijah participates in the Rubik’s Cube Club, which he assisted in founding, as well as Carroll’s National Merit and Math Honors Societies. He will be attending the World Cube Competition this month.

FAVORITE CLASS: Computer Science. “It’s the most interesting, and I enjoy problem solving!”

Linda Woessner says: “Elijah Snow is Captain of the Computer Science Team. The team competes regularly in programming competitions throughout the State. A programming competition consists of teams of three students with one computer. They are given a set of problems to solve by writing programs.

The team that can solve the most problems within the given time wins! Winning requires teamwork, strategy, programming skills, and logic. Elijah was part of the UIL Academic Computer Science Team that represented the Dragons at State last year!”

Azhar Hussain, Senior Southlake Carroll Debate Team

As the incoming Southlake Carroll Debate Team co-captain, Azhar has an outstanding reputation.

As freshman, he became the Senate Congressional Debate state champion and proceeded to win the Congressional Debate Tournament at the University of Texas – Austin and the Foreign Extemporaneous Speaking Tournament at UNT. On the national circuit, Azhar has attended the finals at the Harvard Congressional Debate tournament twice, placing among the top 16 out of more than 500 participants across the country. He also took home second place in the State in Foreign Extemporaneous Speaking tournament.

ABOUT AZHAR: Known for working with his peers and pushing the boundaries of his intellect, Azhar’s favorite pastime is expanding his knowledge.

Keeping in line with his love of Congressional Debate, his favorite show is the Netflix’s original series “House of Cards.” The interlinking of politics while working in the real world, as well as the drama, makes learning about the government more accessible for Azhar. He is also a member of the Carroll Medical Academy.

FAVORITE CLASS: AP World History. “We often look at history as a mundane catalog of dates and events, but the truth is, history is so much more. It is the story of mankind told from the beginning of time, filled with action, drama, romance, and sadness, all weaving a story of incomparable depth. If you want to learn about yourself, learn about the culmination of events that define you just as much as you define yourself.”

Debate teammate Nyle Hussain says: “With a powerful voice that commands an audience and a confidence that enthralls his listeners, Azhar has unsurprisingly joined the ranks of the top high school debaters in the country. He embodies the core essence of a Congressional Debater.”

New Magic Behind the Mask CAMERON MACKINTOSH’S PHANTOM IS WORTH A SECOND LOOK

H

Photo by Matthew Murphy

Photo by Alastar Muir

ot off the heels of its sold-out UK tour, Cameron MacKintosh’s newest production of Andrew Lloyd Webber’s Phantom of the Opera is now taking North America by storm. With more than 45 years of production experience, MacKintosh has been producing musicals longer than anyone else in history. See the legend’s work hit the stage in the show critics are calling “bigger and better than ever before,” starting August 6-24, at the AT&T Performing Art’s Winspear Opera House, the fifth stop on a 17-month-long tour.

You may think you’ve seen all this haunting production has to offer.

But MacKintosh is ready to prove you wrong. Hailed as “stunning, intense and spectacular” by the UK’s Sunday Express, this spectacular reinvention captures all the magic of the original — while dazzling audiences with an award-winning cast and orchestra of 52, making it one of the largest productions now on tour. Expect hum-along favorites like “Music of the Night, “All I Ask of You” and “Masquerade,” paired with edgy special effects, brilliant scenic designs, new choreography, original costume design and much more.

And don’t fear a revise of the moody thematic approach that has made Phantom of the Opera famous. Today’s production offers just as dark an approach by essentially mirroring the script and score of its predecessor, while taking advantage of modern technology and staging possibilities. From impressive pyrotechnics to a falling chandelier that brings audience members into the scene itself, the only thing you’ll regret is that you didn’t sit a few rows closer to the action.

Let Rock Rule RAISE YOUR LIGHTERS TO AEROSMITH AND SLASH

S

Photo by Ross Halfin

ome argue they’re America’s greatest rock ‘n’ roll band. Others claim they’re the best-selling American rock band of all time. But no matter how you define rock — or the best of the best — there’s no doubt that Aerosmith is legendary. Recognized as easily by teenagers as baby boomers, the Boston natives who joined forces in the early 1970s are one of the rare breeds in the industry that have not only maintained their original style, but also continued to thrive while doing so. As an ode to their rock ‘n’ roll allegiance, Aerosmith is taking this summer by storm, teaming up with Slash in a concert event that is sure to raise more than a few lighters.

In case you need a reminder of what Aerosmith’s been doing over the past four decades, let’s take a trip down memory lane. In 2001, the band was inducted into the prestigious Rock and Rock Hall of Fame alongside music legends including Michael Jackson and Queen. They’ve topped the charts with 21 Top 40 Hits and won four Grammy Awards and six American Music Awards. And let’s not forget the songwriting skills that produced songs like “Dream On,” “Walk This Way” and “Crazy” — which Steven Tyler and Joe Perry were each celebrated for as inductees in the Songwriters Hall of Fame last year. Release your inner groupie, and sing along with the voice that made them famous, as they stop by the AAC on August 22 for their Let Rock Rule tour.

Dear College Coach: What is the difference between Early Action, Early Decision and all the other kinds of deadlines for college applications?

-When to Apply?

Dear When: It can be confusing to decipher the different application options. Although some colleges offer variations, these are the four main types of admissions deadlines: Regular Decision (RD): The most common type of application deadline, RD offers the most flexibility. Students can apply to as many colleges as they like with deadlines usually between December and February (although some colleges applications into the spring and summer). Decisions are usually issued in April.

Early Action (EA): Students can apply to as many schools as they wish (unless it is a single choice EA). Deadlines are usually in November and decisions are mailed end of December.

Early Decision (ED): Early decision is a binding legal contract where students commit to attending the college should they be accepted. Because of this commitment, students may only apply to one ED school, usually with a November deadline and decisions issued in December.

Rolling Admissions: Colleges such as Texas A&M begin accepting applications in August and make admissions decisions as applications are submitted as long as space is available. So, the earlier you apply, the faster you will get a decision and the higher the likelihood you will be accepted.

Assorted styles & colors to choose from.

Good Luck!

The ABC’s of Connectivity ALWAYS BE CHARGING – VOLTAIC ARRAY SOLAR LAPTOP CHARGER

DETAILS Three solar panels Made from recycled water bottles Waterproof $389

SOUTHLAKESTYLE.COM

I

n today’s hyper-electronic world, keeping connected means keeping batteries charged no matter where you go. The Array Solar Laptop Charger seems to be the perfect backpack for active students on the go. The lightweight (5.5 lbs), waterproof pack is made from recycled PET (soda bottles) and is sufficiently padded to keep all of your valuables safe and organized.

Even more impressive are the three onboard 3.4watt solar panels, which generate up to 10 watts of peak output. For the rest of us that means one hour

of direct sunlight provides up to 30 minutes of laptop runtime. And just 90 minutes of sunlight is enough to fully charge your cellphone. The included V72 universal laptop battery charges efficiently from solar and stores power for use anytime day or night.

Connect to laptops via 10 standard adapters. Charge cellphones, cameras and more from the USB port using your own cable or the standard mini and micro USB adapters. When not in the sun, it can be charged using the included DC car or AC chargers, making it just as useful on the grid as off.

Humble Pie TRISTAN SIMON REMAKES FORT WORTH’S PIZZA OUTPOST

THIRTEEN PIES 2949 Crockett Street Fort Worth 817-769-3590 firesidepies.com

80 • AUG 14

Many of you are familiar with the Fireside Pies location nearby in Grapevine, another outpost in Tristan Simon’s Consilient Hospitality food empire. But the location in Fort Worth’s vibrant West 7th mixed-use development, currently in the midst of being rebranded as Thirteen Pies, offers not only a different approach but a distinctive menu.

The soon to be called Thirteen Pies was always intended to be more of a sister restaurant that offered lunch dining options and an expanded menu featuring locally sourced ingredients, according to kitchen manager and longtime Consilient Group chef, George Ortega. Ortega noted that Tristan Simon wanted to branch out from the original Fireside Pies concept when he opened the restaurant in Fort Worth. Even the décor both inside and out reflects a sparser, minimalist ethos compared to other Fireside Pies locations. This location has always featured twelve

fixed pizza “pies” on the menu year round with a thirteenth pie that features the chef’s choice for a seasonal pie using ingredients available only at certain times of the year. Hence the new name, Thirteen Pies. Also, Ortega shared that the crust preparation is different, and there are more varied cheeses used in their dishes.

Two other outposts of Thirteen Pies are currently in development in Houston, and Atlanta.

Chef Ortega informed me that he would be relocating to the Atlanta area in a matter of weeks to join the team in opening the location there.

Welded metal letters housing dark orange neon tubes spelling out Fireside Pies are all that mark the location of the restaurant. Inside, the ceiling over the dining areas is dominated by the same wood slats that form the backdrop for the host stand with custom z-shaped lighting fixtures hovering over a long line of booths along the windows while the ceiling over the bar and

the open kitchen highlights strategic pinpoint lighting and exposed concrete columns. Along another wall are the seasonal specials on a large chalkboard with another small chalkboard to the side noting the thirteenth pie currently available for order.

Having dined at this location several times before, I knew that I was definitely going to order a pasta dish that utilizes fresh, house-made pasta along with a pie for the meal I was sharing with my dining companion. The pasta selections are where this location has always differed from other Fireside Pies. We chose the Bolognese, which combine tender egg noodles that easily hold the rich, meaty Bolognese sauce in every bite. It is a simple but an incredibly well prepared dish that could put similar dishes from Italian focused restaurants to shame. The other area that this location differs from its sister restaurants is the selection of pies. The other Fireside Pies locations all offer the same pie selection that feature local ingredients. This location has a much more innovative take on the combinations of ingredients and flavors for its menu. We chose the Spicy House-Made Pork Sausage pie made up of the oil-rubbed crust, roasted red peppers, roasted

onions and scamorza (a fancy name for smoked mozzarella) to which we added fresh yellow market tomatoes added at the end of the baking time for the pie. The thin, crispy on the outside yet chewy on the inside crust holds it’s own against the vibrant flavors of this pie. Perfectly cooked, it was a home run.

It’s a must to finish off your meal with one of their seasonal desserts. If it is available, the Lemon Mascarpone Semifreddo (a semi-frozen ice cream) will do nicely. Our server, Neto, described it as similar to a deconstructed cheesecake. It arrived in a small glass bowl with squares of the semifreddo laid atop one another with lemon curd in between each layer and a pistachio crumble throughout. It is cold, light and fresh. An ideal summer dessert!

Hippie Chic CEF travels back in time for the future of education This year’s Carroll Education Foundation (CEF) Culinary Celebration aims to enhance education throughout the Carroll ISD through delicious food from more than twentyfive restaurants and a ‘60s theme of “Peace, Love and Dragons.”

Event Co-chair Sarah Mason plans to inject energy of a bygone era into the long-standing event to create a fun and altruistic blast from the past. She believes ‘the more the merrier’ for benefits such as this when she says, “I encourage everyone to bring out their hip huggers and beads and join us to celebrate Peace, Love, and our beloved Dragons!”

“We want everyone to join in the fun,” ads Co-chair Mimi Tran, “we have not only [American Idol standout and Dallas resident] Celena Rae, but the powerhouse of local charity events, Scott Murray as the emcees for the evening.”

In addition to local celebrities plans for the event held at the Southlake Hilton include a deejay spinning timely dance music and plenty of live entertainment, auctions and foodie favorites from a bevy of notable local eateries.

Long time CEF supporters, yet first time samplers, Southlake’s own Feedstore BBQ joins an impressive list of fine restaurants inlcuding; Truluck’s Seafood, Steak and Crab House, Winewood Grill, Copeland’s of New Orleans, Mi Dia from Scratch, Brio Tuscan Grille and Del Frisco’s Grille who all will be serving up their best bites for the benefit of educating youth.

Like many local restaurateurs, Executive Chef of Del Frisco’s Grille Aaron Henschen will be on hand serving his signature Ahi Tuna Tacos and Prime Grille Cheeseburger Sliders. He sums up how many of the sponsoring restaurants feel about the event, “Del Frisco’s puts down roots in every location, becoming an active and enthusiastic part of the community and an eager supporter of both local charities and national organizations. We are very pleased to be involved with the Carroll Education Foundation here in Southlake, Texas, where our home office is based.”

“The ‘60s was a creative, think outside the box, time period,” explains Mason. “In serving today’s public school districts we also need to be creative in how we raise and spend money in times like these.”

Breaking Bread Whole Foods Market colleyville opens for business On July 8 Colleyville City officials including Mayor David Kelly, and hundreds of area Whole Food fans, assembled to welcome the world’s leading organic grocer to the city. Whole Foods started in 1980 as one small store in Texas’ capital city and now boasts more than 360 stores across the country. Its newest store is the 44,000 square foot gem off of Glade Road and Highway 26. Colleyville Middle School Cheerleaders and the Heritage High School Drum Line provided even more fanfare during the store’s traditional opening ceremony. In place of a typical ribbon cutting Whole Foods personnel stuck to their traditional “bread-breaking” ceremony by tearing into a six-foot loaf of fresh baked challah bread—just moments before officially opening the doors to hundreds of wide-eyed shoppers.

Green from the ground up, Whole Foods aims to prove they are good stewards to the environment on a daily basis.

Skylights help reduce energy usage for interior lighting while doors on produce and milk shelves help keep cool air where it is needed most. Well known for sourcing locally, the store was even finished out with reclaimed local oak and pine and the top at the café bar was made from reclaimed bleachers.

All shoppers will enjoy a feast for the eyes and the stomach with more than 1,000 unique local items curated from more than 200 in state suppliers. Roughly a quarter of the Texas based products are from the DFW Metroplex like; Community Beer, Cultivar Coffee and beauty products from Mop Top hair care. Early entrants were greeted by more than 250 items of organic produce including the store’s signature “flying banana” display.

Beyond troves of fresh produce, Whole Foods offers more than 300 specialty cheeses, a smokehouse with a complete Barbeque bar, environmentally conscious and animal friendly meat and seafood departments, an artisan bakery and the many items from their signature “365 Everyday Value” line. A Neapolitan-style brick pizza oven that cooks fresh made pizzas in just 90 seconds highlights an extreme variety of grab-and-go foods most likely to whet your appetite. And for those too busy to shop, send an email to Whole Foods concierge service, and they will do the legwork for you!

Th-eatery Defined Colleyville’s Studio Movie Grill delivers dinner and a movie So, you want to plan the perfect date night? There’s always dinner, then a movie. Or, you could try something a little different — a movie, with dinner. Studio Movie Grill has made a name for itself based off this innovative concept since opening its first location in Addison 14 years ago. Offering moviegoers an all-in-one destination to enjoy a night out with friends, family or a loved one has been a growing trend ever since. The in-theater dining experience came to Colleyville in the spring as part of its nationwide expansion plan. The ninth location in Texas, Studio Movie Grill Colleyville has more than 51,000 square feet, eight screens and more than 1,000 seats ready for your next outing— much more than a typical night at the movies. A perfect example is that the typical snack bar has been replaced with sophisticated lounge areas complete with a full-service bar boasting 60 premium spirits, local microbrews and an array of complex cocktails like the movie inspired Deep Eddy 007 Martini and the Salted Caramel Martini— think Captain Morgan Spiced Rum, Butterscotch Schnapps, Caramel and Chocolate— yum!

The atmosphere is more than relaxing, especially after you realize there is no need to rush to grab a seat, because it was reserved when you got your tickets, just like a typical dinner reservation. Once seated, take advantage of the recently updated menu that features artistic dishes such as the blackened Mahi Mahi Tacos with curried rice, black beans, cabbage, peppers in a Honey Teriyaki sauce. Or try the citrus marinated jumbo shrimp or the mouth watering Ceviche Lettuce Wraps. They also have comfort food staples like chicken tenders, gourmet pizzas and hamburgers made to order. No need to press pause during this movie — each seat comes with a personal service button, which lights up to let servers know when you’re ready to place an order or just need a refill. Ahh — that’s more like it — all that’s left to do is to sit back, relax and enjoy the show. Just don’t forget to tip the wait staff.

And you won’t even need to book a plane ticket to make your getaway. Some terrific vacation spots are just a short drive away, offering a world of relaxation or adventure depending on your mood. Feel like a kid again with family-friendly fun in New Braunfels, or plan an adults-only romantic retreat in Austin. Pack your bags and hit the road; here’s your chance to make this a summer you’ll never forget.

road,” began as four waterslides starting from a tower patterned after the Bergfried Guard Tower at Solms Castle in Braunfels, Germany — the home of New Braunfels’ original settlers. Today, it has grown into an expansive experience the entire family will enjoy. From the sixstory tall Master Blaster, a waterslide/rollercoaster hybrid that’s not for the faint of heart, to the spring-fed Gator Bowl Activity Pool, there’s truly something for everyone.

BOARDING PASS different from a typical day at the waterpark. “Schlitterbahn is born from a river, not a theme park,” Prosapio says. “Our rides are long — we have one that lasts 45 minutes — because that’s how fun works on the river.”

Additionally, Schlitterbahn’s atmosphere creates the feeling of a complete getaway, with plenty of trees to remind you that you’re in Texas Hill Country.

“During the summer, there’s no better feeling than walking with your family under 100-year-old cypress and oak trees with a river flowing next to you,” Prosapio notes. “Sure, there are amazing rides and something for everybody, but it’s the beauty that surrounds you that makes this feel like a true vacation.”

Just steps away from all the action, a relaxing resort oasis awaits. In addition to being close to the waterpark, resort guests enjoy exclusive benefits like the opportunity to ride some of the park’s most popular attractions an hour before opening to the general public, free on-site parking, free inner tubes and free shuttle service. After the sun sets, there’s still plenty of activities to keep the fun alive, with options like movie nights, family volleyball, arcade games and campfire s’mores.

And even when the park closes, resort guests continue to have access

After a full day of play, relaxation isn’t far away. Schlitterbahn Resort offers an array of accommodation options to help you create the perfect home away from home for your family. If you’re traveling with a large group, the Treehaus Luxury Suites may be your ideal haven, offering treetop views and upscale amenities for up to 12 guests.

Overlooking the Comal River, Riverbend Cabins feature one- and two-bedroom suites with full kitchens and a spacious common area.

Or choose from the urban-inspired SchlitterStein Lofts or cozy Wasser Haus Lodge. Wherever you stay, remember you’re only moments away from a wet and wild adventure of a lifetime. Go ahead, dive right in!

Travaasa Experiential Resort — Austin “Mid- to late August is a great time to experience Travaasa,” says Ashley Cothran, PR manager. “The summer heat has started to ease up and so much is happening on the farm. It’s a great time to visit and guests should have no trouble making reservations.”

You can experience meditation, learn new skills through culinary demonstrations, and have enjoyable moments with loved ones.

Go back to the office and share a story of conquering the high-ropes challenge course! Whether it’s archery, geocaching, horseback riding or even the mechanical bull fitness class, there is something in the daily program for everyone.

With a prime location in Hill Country, Travaasa utilizes its surroundings and organic practices with their 3.25 acre farm, which boasts a large variety of vegetables, fruits, flowers, culinary and medicinal herbs, and of course, Texas pecans.

“You see the farm, meet Kim, the farm’s manager, learn about the operations, the ingredients and how it translates into everything on the menu at the resort,” Cothran passionately explains, the farm being her favorite amenity.

After an exciting day of adventures, take advantage of the relaxation packages, such as the What ‘Ales’ You — a strong favorite of men. “It includes an Energetic Edge massage, Peppermint Zenergy Foot Care treatment and ends with organic Texas ale,” describes Cothran. “The experience was originally designed for men, but women have been known to book it as well!” For rejuvenation, the Energy Balancing & Healing session will help realign and bring tranquility to physical and spiritual planes — sessions at an hour or two hours allow optimal time to explore the rest of Travaasa’s great experiences.

he new aggressive styling of the Lexus line of performance sedans has already caught the attention of many a new car buyer, and the best is yet to come.

Dealers and drivers are getting ready for the invasion of the carmaker’s latest offering this fall. Built for power and precision, the 2015 Lexus RC F pushes the boundaries of the already impressive IS sedan’s performance with a stronger engine and increased handling ability, all within a sleek two-door coupe frame.

Rebuilt from the ground up, this vehicle is powered by a brand-new 450-horsepower 5.0-liter, 32-valve V8 engine that will provide maximum performance at higher rpms than ever deemed possible. The strongest V8 from Lexus to date is paired with an eight-speed automatic transmission and paddle shifters that engage and empower the driver to best apply the 383 lb.-ft gut-wrenching torque.

Although Lexus has yet to show performance or fuel economy figures, they do believe the RC F will beat the

IS F sedan’s zero to 60 mph of 4.6 seconds and 23 mpg highway. With a new engine also comes enhanced performance through the vehicle’s first-ever Torque Vectoring Differential (TVD). The TVD has three dynamic operating modes; Standard— for agility and stability; Slalom— for nimble steering response and Track— for proper cornering with ample acceleration.

Like the engine, the RC F also features its own amped-up version of the Lexus signature spindle grille for a hyper-aggressive exterior design.

With additional styling thanks to 19-inch wheels, cooling ducts and aerodynamic cues front to back, the RC F definitely stands apart from the competition. Making the most of its performance inspired mechanics, the RC F also utilizes a unique race-inspired interior.

The 2015 Lexus RC F will debut this fall, with a starting price at or near $70,000 for well-equipped models comparable to the Mercedes-Benz C63 AMG Coupe, BMW M4 and the all-wheel-drive Audi RS 5.
