Festival
Embracing the artsy side of Deep Ellum By Ryann Gordon It’s back — our favorite excuse to venture east of downtown toward our most beloved hipster sanctuary — the Deep Ellum Arts Festival, which is the Mecca of Dallas artists. Returning for its 23rd consecutive year with a conglomeration of artsy productions like never before, the Deep Ellum Arts Festival will take over six blocks of Main Street for three full days of colorful, creative excitement. So get your vintage club masters ready and cuff those jeans, if only for a night, because the inner hipster in you may take the win on this one. Indulge your senses for no cost at all, from 11 a.m. to 11 p.m. next Friday, April 7, Saturday, April 8 and until 8 p.m. on Sunday, April 9 as you wind through hundreds of vendors, over 200 decorative and visual artists, 150 musical performances, eight performances areas and stages, and countless food and drink vendors to keep you full and refreshed along the way. Don’t get too distracted by the food though, and let your other senses take over as you experience a music and arts festival like none other in the area. Beginning next Friday afternoon, the arts festival will kick off with music, vendors, food and endless pieces of art to admire as you stroll along the strip. Either seek out the local musicians you admire and plan your trip around the performances or casually jam as you walk to music played on six stages and two additional performances areas dotted through the festival.

Dallas Can Academy
Volunteers offer program for careers in medicine By Jeanne Culver Eight promising students from Dallas Can Academy’s Ross Avenue campus were recently selected by the school’s principal, Fernando Vadillo, to participate in an inaugural medical careers internship with The W.B. Carrell Clinic of Dallas. Renowned orthopedic surgeon, Dr. Kurt Kitziger, is volunteering his time and resources to craft a meaningful and rigorous introduction to medical careers for eight students who have demonstrated a strong interest in pursuing employment in medicine or healthcare upon graduation from high school. Dr. Kitziger and his wife, Leslie Leeds Kitziger, toured a Dallas Can Academy campus several months ago and were

Their objective, to expose students to a variety of careers related to medicine and health care, would introduce youth to the variety of health care careers with promising job
growth, and thus incentivize the completion of their high school curriculum. Along with giving the teenagers valuable work experience, the internships also offer the students exposure to various career paths so that they may find one they
want to pursue. Originally from New Orleans, Dr. and Mrs. Kitziger moved to Dallas in 2005 in the wake of Hurricane Katrina. Mrs. Kitziger developed a close association with Dallas Can Academy’s Ross Avenue campus where she volunteers three days per week. With a Masters of Social Work, Mrs. Kitziger knows firsthand the advantages cultivated by exposing students to real-life examples of attainable future careers. With her husband’s support, she initiated a student field trip to The W.B. Carrell Clinic with 40 students from Dallas Can Academy’s Ross Avenue campus. The students toured the facility, which includes a 20-bed hospital, and listened to

Letter from the Board
Wild thing
By Bronwen Roberts While the steamy temperatures may have you thinking summer is already here, they haven’t fooled the wildflowers, currently unfurling their leaves Photos courtesy of Wikipedia and petals throughout the state. The bluebonnet is familiar with Blue-Eyed Grass the weather's mood swings, (Sisyrinchium spp.) along with more than 5,000 other Texas species of wildflowers and native grasses, which will envelop meadows and roadsides throughout the spring and summer. Sure, they’re an attractive bunch — careful not to trample them during your photo ops — but beyond their rockstar looks, do you know how and why wildflowers have come to represent such a striking signifier of spring in Texas? Wildflowers, it turns out, are not so wild — many, at least, not at first. Since 1934, the Texas Department of Transportation has been sowing wildflower seeds every year — around 30,000 pounds of seeds annually. Along with other organizations in the state, including the Dallas Park and Recreation Department, stewards take it upon themselves to plant, maintain and Firewheel or Indian Blanket encourage wildflower growth. They are used to beautify, enrich (Gaillardia pulchella) and strengthen the biodiversity of our parks, highways and natural areas. Dallas alone has over 70 dedicated natural and wildflower areas, which reduce costs and emissions associated with mowing, watering and maintaining non-native grass (the costly alternative). The process usually begins in the fall with scalping of designated areas to remove grass and other competing plants. Seeds are sown in September and begin germinating in March or April, with different species continuing to sprout throughout the summer. Once established, dedicated natural grass and wildflower areas can be self-sustaining, requiring little maintenance. Mowing once per year (sometimes twice) at the end of summer is enough to encourage seed dispersal for the following season. Wildflowers and natural grasses need no fertilizing and generally very little water to grow. They help reduce erosion and loss of topsoil in addition to Indian Paintbrush creating habitats for wildlife and (Castilleja indivisa) attracting pollinators like birds, bats and bees. Some species of wildflowers are even beneficial to crops and other desirable plants — Queen Anne’s lace for example, also known as the wild carrot, has been said to improve tomato growth when planted nearby. Others have medicinal or dietary purposes — such as clover, which makes a tasty tea, or dandelion blossoms, which can be ingested raw, brewed or cooked. Planting wildflowers is also a great alternative for homeowners seeking an eco-friendly way to landscape their backyards. With summer water restrictions in Texas, this can be a godsend. Not to mention, if you're a birdwatcher, this is a great way to attract new species to your yard. So whether you’re a nature lover or casual admirer, take heart in the fact that these delightful plants are not just for show. And the next time you find yourself at White Rock Lake, look for a few of the Texas wildflower favorites pictured Pink Evening Primrose (Oenothera speciosa) here.

MULL IT OVER
Rangers don’t have playoff look By David Mullen Something doesn’t feel right about the 2017 Texas Rangers. They have won the American League West the last two years, only to lose the first round of playoffs to the Toronto Blue Jays. In the offseason, they lost Ian Desmond, Carlos Beltran, Colby Lewis and Mitch Moreland. They brought back 35-year-old Mike Napoli and his .252 career batting average. Future Hall of Fame third baseman Adrian Beltré turns 38 on April 7. (Don’t touch his head). But they do have catcher Jonathan Lucroy for a full season. The team is loaded in some positions and lacking in others. It is just not the makeup of a championship team. Maybe it is the beaming glow of talented youth coming from Houston that is making it difficult to see the Rangers winning the division again. Second baseman Jose Altuve, 26, hit .338 last year. Shortstop Carlos Correa, 22, hit 20 home runs. Each had 96 RBIs. The only Ranger with more RBIs than the Astros up-the-middle tandem was Beltré with 104. Plus, the Astros added Beltran at DH and Josh Reddick (a perfect fit in H-Town) to play right field. The Houston bullpen is deep and are the pick to win the division in 2017. The wild card in the West is the Seattle Mariners, and I don’t necessarily mean Wild Card team. They could be ready to actually play hard for a full season and give the Astros and Rangers fits. Seattle faces both the Rangers and Houston during a seven-game road trip in mid-September that will determine their fate. With Robinson Cano, Nelson Cruz and “King” Felix Hernandez, the M’s will take a chunk of wins from division teams. The Los Angeles Angels are still a mystery. Centerfielder Mike Trout is the best player in baseball, but they are brutally weak at second base, shortstop and catcher, and their bullpen is a mess. The Oakland Athletics will win the World Series … in 2020. Ryon Healy, the first of a slew of young players that are part of the A’s future, is a potential 2017 All Star. This year, the expansive grounds of

In the Central Division, the AL Champion Cleveland Indians, led by manager Terry Francona, got even better offensively this year by adding Edwin Encarnacion. Last year was a surprising 95-win season for the Tribe. This year — with five starting pitchers having double-digit wins last season — will be no fluke. Led by the ageless Miguel Cabrera, the Detroit Tigers still have a fearful lineup. Five players had more than 20 home runs despite playing half of their games in spacious Comerica Park. It is make-orbreak for the Tigers as father time is catching up. The Kansas City Royals are just one year removed from being World Champions. But last season they came to and realized they are just a mediocre team with a deep bullpen. Key starters like first baseman Eric Hosmer and centerfielder Lorenzo Cain are free agents at the end of the season, as KC returns to small market status. The Chicago White Sox bring in Rick Renteria (who managed one season for the Chicago Cubs in 2014) to see if he can field a competitive squad on the south side. Luckily, he has a three-year contract. The Minnesota Twins did nothing in the offseason except hold on to second baseman Brian Dozier, who hit 42 home runs last year. There is a lot to like about the Boston Red Sox, except that they are the Red Sox. Their starting pitching became the best in the league by adding Chris Sale. And their lineup got young all of a sudden. With budding stars in Mookie
Betts, Xander Bogaerts and Andrew Benintendi, the Red Sox are the team to beat — and hate — this year. The Toronto Blue Jays lost a key player in Encarnacion, and now they don’t look as imposing. They still have Josh Donaldson, but Troy Tulowitzki seems to be losing his edge. The Baltimore Orioles waited for home run hitter Mike Trumbo to sign and got him. They don’t hit for average and must win with the longball, which could work out when the O’s give a one-run lead to closer Zach Britton. The New York Yankees lineup are no longer the Bronx Bombers, and their pitching staff look like a bunch of pea-shooters. They must hope closer Arodis Chapman can save the day, and a lot of games. At least they have great delis in Manhattan. The Tampa Bay Rays play in a lousy stadium, have lousy uniforms and look like a last place team. At least they have great Cuban sandwiches in Ybor City. Reluctantly, I will put the Rangers in the Wild Card game against the Tigers. Realistically, it could be the Mariners facing Detroit. The Tigers move on to join the Astros, Red Sox and Indians. The Astros and Red Sox will battle it out in the AL championship series, with the Bo Sox prevailing. The fans will be raucous and ratings will be high when Boston plays the Chicago Cubs in the 2017 World Series. In a hard-fought battle that should feature great pitching, offense and defense, the north side of Chicago will bask in a world championship again. The chant of “Wait until next year” will change to “Break up the Cubs!”

Restaurant Review
Poké around new Hawaiian restaurant By Sara Newberry Recent Dallas food trends include ramen, fried chicken, southern-style home cooking … and now poké is taking the city by storm. Restaurants serving the Hawaiian raw fish salad have sprung up recently in Plano, Carrollton, Arlington and Dallas. The newest member of the club is FreshFin Poké Co., which opened its doors on Greenville Avenue in February. Haven’t heard of poké? Well, you will. It’s a dish that has its roots in Hawaii: fisherman would cut off chunks of fish from their catch, season them with soy sauce, and enjoy them as a snack before heading home. Poké was originally made with tuna, but it can be found now featuring salmon, scallops and octopus, as well as slightly less authentic versions featuring cooked shrimp or chicken. Rice and vegetables are also now standard ingredients in poké bowls. FreshFin offers bowls created two ways: choosing one of their creations, or building your own bowl. If you are new to poké, I recommend going with one of their bowls; otherwise you risk creating something really unappetizing. The Hawaiian OG bowl is a good place to start. It features ahi tuna, radish, dried seaweed and is dressed with “umami shoyu,” a soy sauce-based sauce with a little sweetness. The fish was fresh and flavorful, and the other ingredients all worked together to complement it. A base of purple rice added a little nutty flavor and texture. I also enjoyed the Umami Classic bowl. Salmon and Yellowtail are the fish here; onion, carrot, a sesame dressing and the Japanese seasoning furikake round it out. It’s supposed to be topped with a sprinkling of fish roe, but they seemed to be out at the time. Again, the fish was ocean-fresh, with a sweet brininess that paired well with the other ingredients. The sesame emulsion was a little creamier than I expected, and its grey color was not the most appealing, but overall the bowl was a success. I was not a fan of the Free-Range bowl, which is disappointing, because I think a lot of poké neophytes will order that one first, because it included chicken. The mix-ins

The Hawaiian OG bowl and the Umami bowl at Freshfin Poké Co. — onion, edamame, red cabbage, toasted corn, cilantro — were all fine, but the chicken was dry and flavorless. A balsamic-ginger dressing helped some, but there wasn’t enough of it to really make a difference. I did create a bowl on my own, on one visit, using cooked shrimp as the protein and quinoa for the base. I also chose cucumbers, edamame, pineapple and roe, with the umami shoyu as the dressing. Like the chicken bowl, the flavors of everything except the protein were great, while the shrimp was lackluster. If you are new to poké, FreshFin is a good place to start. The menu is more limited than at other local poké places, but that’s not the worst thing if you’re not familiar. And if you already enjoy poké, it’s a convenient way to get your fix.

This spiedini is splendid By Dotty Griffith
dotty.griffith@yahoo.com Cheese-on-a-stick sounds like a state fair dish, except this version isn’t fried. This is Chef Giovanni Mauro’s spiedini appetizer at bustling Pie Tap Pizza Workshop + Bar on N. Henderson Ave. So simple, this is more an idea than a recipe, but one well worth replicating. Wrap a long piece of cheese with prosciutto, grill or bake it, and serve with a handful of balsamic dressed arugula.

MOVIE TRAILER
‘Alien’ knock-off nothing but a wasted ‘Life’ By Chic DiCiccio It's been 38 years since “Alien” hit theaters and even with multiple sequels, a remake of it was inevitable. The thing is this: “Life” isn’t a remake. This sci-fi/horror yarn is an original piece of work, but it rips off nearly every single element of director Ridley Scott’s classic to an almost shameless level. Naive scientist that never believes the alien life is nothing more than a killing machine? Check. Snarky, comedic relief from a grunt? Got it. Selfless captain who puts his own life before everyone in their crew? You know it. “Life” does have thrills and scares throughout, but that’s fairly easy to make happen when working from a template of one of the most frightening movies ever made. In moments, it’s so effective that it’s easy to forget you’re watching a blatant carbon copy. “Life” takes place on the International Space Station located in Earth’s orbit. The opening sequence is as impressive a cinematic feat in recent memory as director Daniel Espinosa creates a one-shot sequence in which the crew is capturing a damaged probe returning from Mars with soil samples that could possibly contain life. The soil samples do contain an organism that is brought back from hibernation by British biologist Hugh Derry (Ariyon Bakare), who treats this creepy amoeba-looking thing like his

Jake Gyllenhaal and Rebecca Ferguson star in “Life.” newborn child. This is met by skepticism by the comedic relief, engineer Rory Adams (Ryan Reynolds), whose dialogue is either jokes or telegraphed foreshadowing. After being named Calvin by kiddos in the States, the alien grows and eventually acts like the shark in “Jaws.” It systematically hunts down everyone on the space station, leaving quarantine officer Miranda North (Rebecca Ferguson) in a lurch as she attempts to close the alien off from the rest of the crew and keep it from reaching Earth. Along for the ride is Dr. David Jordan (Jake Gyllenhaal), whose cynicism of humanity has kept him on the space station for longer than any astronaut in history. David is mostly along for the ride, but by the time he ominously reads the children’s book, “Goodnight Moon,” it’s obvious where “Life” is going. It all leads up to an
ending that is meant to be shocking, but screenwriters Rhett Reese and Paul Wernick build up to this with zero subtlety. In the hands of a filmmaker actually interested in surprises, the final 15 minutes may have worked. However, Espinosa makes it painfully obvious what is going to happen, thus eliminating any possible twists. These very talented actors are wasted on truly stupid dialogue that seems more fit for a B movie. It seems like Ryan Reynolds was added to this cast just so the entire movie wasn’t a dire slog of predator versus prey. He brings a few wisecracks to an otherwise sad-sack, depression-filled 103 minutes. Hiroyuki Sanada, a talented, charismatic actor, is completely wasted, and it’s clear where his character is heading once he watches his wife give birth on Earth via Skype (complete with Skype sounds and graphics, gotta
make those side dollars). Even an actor that can lift average material up to a higher standard like Jake Gyllenhaal can’t do much here, and he’s mostly a bystander until the final 30 minutes or so. “Life” isn’t the worst sci-fi movie ever, and if it’s to be seen, it should be seen in a theater as the views of Earth from space are actually fantastically rendered. The alien is rightfully gross, and the marketing team has made a wise choice to keep its appearance under wraps. However, there’s just nothing new to see here, and when the game of Ten Little Indians starts up, it’s an exercise in guessing which character will make it to the end of the movie. And then there’s that ending. It wants to be clever and dark, but the execution is so very, very poor. It’s so bad that any amount of goodwill, even if you can tolerate all the “Alien” knock offs, makes this a wasted “Life.”
Woodies cont'd from page 1 such as napkin holders and coasters, repair furniture and have even built a communion table for the campus chapel. The most popular item they make are Texas cheese boards. Many of the items are sold on campus at the C. C. Young Gift Shop and at several shops in the Bishop Arts District.” “There are a few ‘Woodettes’ in the group as well,” she added. “These gifted ladies paint and finish some of the items. All of the net proceeds from the sale of their items benefit the Benevolence Fund, which provides funding for residents who might outlive all of their income and assets. C. C. Young is very fortunate that the Woodies and Woodettes have a passion for their hobbies, as their efforts have been a big help in our fundraising efforts. This The Woodies from left to right: James Anthony, Lowrance Hodge, Fred Christen, group also serves as an inspiration to us Charles Smith and John Gould. all.” Group leader Fred Christen said he is cross was wonderful as a palpating device for those recovering one of about eight active Woodies, who first started working on from hand injuries or fighting arthritis. That one has grown joint projects in the spring of 2014. That’s when CEO Russell into literally hundreds of crosses given as gifts by C. C. Young Crews found a space in the old laundry room they could use to donors, and requested over and over by physical therapists for a workshop. from here and elsewhere. Christen said, “Many tools had come down from Arkansas “Our patient advocate asked if we would replace two rotwith one resident. I provide others from a woodshop we have ted boards in the gazebo near The Asbury Building. Well, had nearly 30 years at University Park United Methodist two boards ended up being all of one side of the gazebo below Church, our operating model. Five or six residents were in the shoulder level. Yes, we did it without expense to C. C. Young, original group. Three were experienced woodworkers, and the using pressure treated wood, but we left the painting to our rest willing to learn. Of that group, only two of us remain, but maintenance staff.” most all are great workers and learners.” More information can be found at dallasarboretum.org/ “Our first two projects that won us our spurs were cubbies visit/seasonal-festivals-events/artscape. in the mail rooms of the Overlook, Asbury and Julian Thomas, the three primary independent living buildings at C. C. Young. Residents loved them, and they greatly facilitated communications on campus. Then at the chaplain's request, we made a communion table for the Blanton Building with the inscription ‘Do This in Remembrance of Me.’ A beautiful piece of cabinet building,” Christen added. “We do work primarily for three groups, and most important, residents who have just moved in or otherwise have a broken chair, cabinet or anything needing help. We also help administration, anything that needs fixing or problems we can solve for those who keep this place running. Then we created items for sale at C. C. Young functions to generate income for the Benevolence Fund. That money helps those who are running short on resources,” Christen said. “All work is done without charge. Contributions are welcome, and a donor may choose to memo line checks to the Benevolence Fund or to the wood shop. The first go directly to Benevolence, the others go into a wood shop account from which we buy all our supplies,” Christen said. “We pride ourselves in not costing C. C. Young a cent and contributing to the place in various ways. Sharon Ballew administers both accounts. At year’s end, Woodies typically roll excess woodshop funds into the Benevolence account.” Christen said some of the group’s most interesting projects include one “where a new resident moved in and found all her legal papers locked up in a drop front desk and the key lost in the move. Among the Woodies we have many skills, including a bit of lock picking. Happy ending. And, there was a request to drill holes in some 80 olive wood crosses from the Holy Land.

Careers cont'd from page 1 personnel from different areas of the medical campus describe what their particular job entails. “Our interest in pursuing a student internship resulted from the enthusiasm engendered by that first field trip,” recalls Mrs. Kitziger, “The kids were excited, impressed and so inquisitive about all the different healthcare jobs available. It was heartwarming to watch the possibilities for their future blossom in front of our eyes as they listened to the different speakers explain their careers.” The Kitzigers’ vision and long-range goals include assisting in establishing a medical career certification program through El Centro College for Dallas Can Academy students. The program would serve as an incentive to motivated high school students interested in a career in healthcare. The Kitzigers have also established a scholarship fund to support students that want to continue their education in the medical field. The inaugural internship had two groups of four students each that met for six weeks at The W.B. Carrell Clinic, under the tutelage of Dr. Kitziger, who specializes in hip and knee replacement, and his medical staff. The students rotated through many departments within his practice, as well as various other departments within The Carrell Clinic. Rotations included reception, x-ray, IT, medical assistant, orthopedic casting, records and security. Not only did staff members in each department provide the students an opportunity to learn about their respective medical fields but they also shared their personal journeys and experiences in their respective fields to inspire the student interns to do the same.

Each student was also able to view surgical procedures and meet with vendors. Meeting outside partners and vendors to The W.B. Carrell Clinic introduced the students to networking and the importance of developing professional relationships. “The heart and soul of our mission at Dallas Can Academy is manifested in the good works of people such as Dr. and Mrs. Kitziger,” said Principal Vadillo. “Through the vision and ideas and support of our community, Dallas Can Academy’s graduates truly can succeed and continue to college or enter the workforce in technical fields like the ones the Kitzigers have introduced to them.” Currently there are 115 occupations recognized by the Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS) that require a high school diploma and pay an hourly wage of $20 an hour or more. Forbes reported that BLS data predicted which jobs would have the highest growth between 2014 and 2024 and 13 of the top 20 fastest growing jobs are in the healthcare industry. With an aging population of Baby Boomers, the healthcare system is experiencing the greatest expansion in history. In fact, the U.S. BLS projects that nearly one in eight Americans will be employed in the healthcare industry by 2022. Texans Can Academies believes in offering their students support and choices for a successful life after high school graduation. Their students often do not have the support at home to help them apply for college or jobs so that they may either continue their education or transition into a career path. Programs that volunteers like Dr. and Leslie Kitziger have developed and managed with the guidance of the school are incredibly important to their students’ success.
Your Stars this Week by Stella Wilder
The coming week will see a great many individuals getting in touch with figures from the past — those who have contributed in significant ways to personal or professional growth, or who have simply been there during memorable times. Everyone will want to reach out to a special friend at some point, and the opportunities for doing so will be many — and the balance of work and play will be conducive to lengthy communication in some cases. There is more to this exercise than mere nostalgia; in some cases, contact with someone from the past can change the trajectory of one's life in significant ways. A few may discover that while they've been on the wrong path for quite a while, the right path is now accessible — and can be taken immediately!
TAURUS (April 20-May 5) You've set certain goals for yourself, and you must work hard to reach them — whether they fit with another's plans or not. (May 6-May 20) – It's time to make a change that can improve both mental and physical fitness over time. Don't shy away from doing something difficult.
News from afar will figure prominently in almost everyone's life. It's a good time to pay close attention to money, business and politics — local, national and international — as these will exert unusual pressures on a great many individuals all week long. Not all the news will be bad, certainly!
CANCER (June 21-July 7) You can monitor your progress in a new way that gives you much better real-time feedback. Certain events will inspire you. (July 8-July 22) – You've been fighting for some time to earn a position at the top, and at long last all indicators point to nearcertain success.
ARIES (March 21-April 4) You must keep track of someone else's progress, as well as your own. Travel plans may give you cause for concern. (April 5-April 19) – You've been waiting patiently for something to come to pass, and you can wait no longer. It's time to make it happen yourself!
GEMINI (May 21-June 6) Someone from your past takes a prominent position in your consciousness as the week opens. He or she will be there for you when it counts. (June 7-June 20) – You may find yourself catering to another's desires far more than your own, but a valuable lesson is learned in the process.
LEO (July 23-Aug. 7) You must formulate a plan that everyone can follow and understand. Progress depends on effective, timely cooperation. (Aug. 8-Aug. 22) – Others are gravitating toward you for reasons you may not yet understand, but you can surely make
this trend work for you over the long haul. VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 7) You're never too far from someone who can assist you in essential ways; all you have to do is let him or her know that the time is now! (Sept. 8-Sept. 22) – Communication will be the key to success — as it so often is. Right now, however, unusual methods can yield unanticipated results. LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 7) It may be time for you to unveil your heart to someone who does not yet realize what has developed between you. Much will happen once you do! (Oct. 8-Oct. 22) – In the process of giving someone what he or she needs, you'll discover that you have been satisfying your own desires as well. SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 7) You might assume things will transpire as expected because you cannot see anything else happening concurrently, but you're missing something. (Nov. 8-Nov. 21) – How you react to changing circumstances will not only affect your chances of success, but it will also provide a lesson for someone under your care. SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 7) Practicality may conflict with dreams until you find a way to

candace@candysdirt.com Every Monday, we at CandysDirt.com proudly offer you a home that will knock your socks off. I mean, it’s Monday. Candace Evans Our Monday Morning Millionaires are designed to give you something to dream about while you are back to the grindstone, a dream to store and save up for, perhaps (save a whole lot for!) and a lovely trip out of your reality. This week’s choice is a gorgeous transitional Mediterranean mansion at 6214 Mimosa Lane. Nestled in the middle of one of the most coveted neighborhoods in Dallas — Preston Hollow North — it has everything you could wish for in a home. Even our discerning staff can’t find anything that has been overlooked, and we’re somewhat hard to impress. Dave Perry-Miller Real Estate agents Mark Cain and Stan Williams slipped this 8,815-square-foot stunner onto the market last week. Every homeowner adds their own special touch when they buy a house. This home was beautiful when it was built in 2003, but now it’s spectacular. The present owners spent about nine months transforming it into an elegant, state-of-the-art home that has every modern amenity. “It was originally a very traditional home,” Cain said. “The present owners moved it into a transitional direction with very clean lines. The rooms are beautifully scaled, and the finish-out is exquisite.” There are six bedrooms, six bathrooms, a powder bath, and not one, but two home offices. A home theater will keep everyone entertained, and a gym ensures everyone can stay fit in privacy. Guests have their own accommodation in an apartment over the garage with a private entrance. It’s a given this home is beautiful, with some striking elements added — just check out the wine display. However, it’s often the things you don’t see that separate the beautiful homes from the beauties that also have brains. A custom lighting system is something we seldom notice until we do, and it makes all the
difference in a home. Security systems are vital now, and this home has the latest and greatest with multiple surveillance cameras, all operated from your phone or tablet. There’s also an integrated vacuum, water purification, geothermal HVAC systems and an elevator. Yes, an elevator! It’s a lot of house for $2.897 million and it does have everything! Give Cain and Williams a call for a private tour. We think you’re going to love this one! CandysDirt.com is the only blog in Dallas for the truly real estate obsessed!

stephan@sardoneconstruction.com Like many of you, I just saw the new “Beauty and the Beast” and it gave me castle and tower fever. Though I’m not totally into the spirelook, I do respect a well-done tower. Not to mention, I love diving into interesting aspects of the home, especially those which are functional and charming. A theme I’ve unintentionally adopted over the last month or two has been traits that make you “look up” or “take you to great heights.” So, whether it’s been about balconies, tree houses or magnificent staircases, I love anything you can look down from, and anything that can make a house more than just a house.

Hammer cont'd from page 8 I’ve seen modern homes that are towers themselves, no extra branches or extensions, and their stand-alone style exudes independence and simplicity. You’ve seen those cabins on Pinterest, which are tall, skinny houses full of windows; those are great little getaways and give you the option to stay down below in the comfort of the ground-level living room, or take yourself upstairs to be among the trees. To take it a step further, towers can even have their own balconies. At the very top, it would draw people upward as they marvel at the wrap-around porch so high in the air. Towers come in various shapes: circular, square and pointed are the most common. Circular is more cottage, while square is

modern, and pointed towers lean toward Victorian drama. So, high-up towers work great as sunrooms, as they are often full of windows. On the other hand, these special escapes work as personal observatories, so be sure to designate a spot upstairs for a telescope and constellation diagram. The best thing about towers is that they tend to be a transportation device to another place and time. For certain tower styles, you may feel you’re on the beachfront, and for others, you may feel like a queen overlooking your kingdom. Towers are magnificent avenues to feeling like royalty in your own home.
