elcome to the Summer 2013 issue of 76092. The season holds much in store for Southlake.

The city has officially broken ground on Miracle Field, which will enable children with developmental challenges to play baseball. The multiphase project in Bicentennial Park, engineered by Arlington’s Schrickel, Rollins and Associates, should be ready for play by 2014. In addition to a look at Bicentennial’s enhanced landscape, we also offer overviews of several other scenic local parks, homes to ponds, playgrounds, loop trails and more. Independence Day celebrations will take place in three of these recreational areas on July 3, complete with music, fireworks and a flood of kids’ activities. Showcase in the Square, a Father’s Day event featuring the Crossmen drum and bugle corps, is on the June agenda at Rustin Park Pavilion.

Also, an area homeowner invites readers in for a look at her lightened-up interior space. It was a collaborative effort with a local designer, who shares tips for creating a similar effect. New-on-the-scene Snappy Salads brings its sustainable decor and tempting summer fare to Southlake. And you’ll read about how an area entrepreneur has turned her baking skills into a big business with a lofty list of clients.

In this issue we introduce Joy Donovan Brandon’s informal chat column, filled with local news on area personalities.

Here’s to a great summer in Southlake. Enjoy!

Bicentennial Park, a Miracle League field will emerge. The dusty diamond will be replaced with a full ballpark designed to give children with mental or physical disabilities the opportunity to play ball.

Phillip Meyer, president of Miracle League of Southlake first became involved with the league in 2009; the organization works with communities to build accessible fields, and now has more than 200 nationwide. Meyer threw himself into the cause of bringing a field to Southlake and became a “buddy” in the Arlington league, acting as the ears, eyes, arms or legs of a player during the game as needed. The City of Southlake broke ground this spring on its own Miracle League field and facilities, thanks to mentoring from the Arlington Miracle League; matching funds donations from the Southlake Miracle League; and a 10-year, $100,000 sponsorship from the Texas Rangers Baseball Foundation. Meyer expects the Southlake Miracle League team to be playing ball by 2014.

An already established highlight of Bicentennial Park is the Liberty Garden, a beautifully landscaped portion set aside with an arbor entrance, bronze sculptures, a wetlands display and seasonal blooming flowers. Fountains and benches populate the garden, dedicated to the memory of those who lost their lives on September 11, 2001.

In addition to Bicentennial’s tennis complex, community center, hockey court, pond and winding trails, it also already is home to clusters of well-equipped traditional baseball fields, with lights, dugouts, scoreboards, stands, paved paths and lovely landscaping. The Texas Rangers Miracle League Field will have all the same trappings, only the field will be

The city broke ground on Miracle Field in the spring.

of an artificial turf designed to accommodate wheelchairs and walkers. Adjacent to the ballpark will be an impressive new playground of more than an acre. It, too, will place a premium on accessibility.

Meyer says Miracle League rules are a little different. “It’s a two-inning baseball game in approximately one hour, each kid gets a hit, the last batter hits a grand slam, and the game ends

in a tie—always.” But just like in traditional baseball, Miracle League players take on fun nicknames (consider Asa “Hollywood” Gutierrez from the Arlington league), and Meyer says players will have their own song as they make their way to bat. And naturally, each game is preceded by the national anthem and followed by handshakes.

“I think when these kids start playing baseball, and when the community sees it in action, it will change a lot of lives, a lot of perspectives,” says Meyer. “One of the reasons I wanted to bring it to Southlake is that baseball is huge here. When you see these kids so excited to play, see them smiling, it really changes the way people think.”

Among the nearly 500 acres, much of the land is Cross Timbers habitat. The Bob Jones Nature Center and Preserve opened in 2008. Both the park and the preserve are named for the former slave who went on to become one of the area’s most prosperous landowners and builders, before Southlake was even Southlake. 3901 N.

ighten up. That proved to be the guiding principle for an

extensive first-floor remodel of a Timarron addition home, which saw an old-world interior morph into a streamlined, transitional space. “Everything was so heavy and ornate and formal,” says homeowner Cheryl Dastugue. “It wasn’t a reflection of how we lived.”

So Dastugue reached out to her fellow Southlake Women’s Club member Julie Walsh, a design-build consultant who, along with her husband David Walsh, owns Sterling Renovations. Together, Julie and the Dastugues orchestrated a lively reimagining of the space, one that makes the rooms feel at once larger and significantly less fussy.

The kitchen and family room saw the most dramatic change. “We completely reworked the design,” says Walsh, who combined two separate islands into one large island boasting a dishwasher, a sink and storage as well as a place for seating. “We got rid of the granite,

which naturally has a lot of movement in it, and went with classic white Calacatta marble.”

Adds Dastugue: “The slab of marble was so big and heavy that it took 18 guys to bring it in! But I absolutely love the light color, which reminds me of what you see all around Europe.”

For the kitchen, two separate islands were combined into one and topped with white Calacatta marble.

A painting from North

Carolina artist Jonas

Gerard, a former

Art in the Square

Artist of the Year, anchors a prominent focal point.


Walsh suggested repainting the cabinets white, an idea that initially gave the homeowner pause. Says Dastugue, “We have three teenagers who are hard on things, but our contractor, Mike McKellop (owner of Sierra Fine Custom Homes), made the doors self-closing. In two years, we haven’t needed to repaint.”

Because Dastugue never liked the way a massive built-in refrigerator often becomes the focal point of a kitchen, Walsh suggested splitting the refrigerator and freezer. “She brought symmetry to the room by doing two 30-inch units on either side of a pretty countertop, glass backsplash and window,” says Dastugue. “We gained space in the pantry, too.”

For continuity’s sake, Walsh removed the tile floor in the kitchen in favor of the same wood that runs through the adjacent family room. The massive stone hearth and towering mantle were jackhammered out of there, while heavy built-in bookcases flanking the fireplace were likewise removed. Dastugue had seen a photo in a shelter magazine of a room with a simple fireplace with floating shelving, backed by Ralph Lauren wallpaper, on either side. Walsh duplicated the look, arranging matching sofas to face each other.

Deeply troweled faux-finished walls gave way to a simple museum finish painted white. “Mike’s crew spent over two weeks

sanding and sealing the walls,” Dastugue recalls. “The guys would come out looking like they were dipped in powdered sugar.”

The new walls take center stage in the dining room, originally the formal living room. “The first thing Julie said was the huge, heavy drapes that went from the ceiling to the ground had to go,” says Dastugue. New solid-plate-glass windows offer an unobstructed view of the saltwater pool with its waterfall, along with the mature landscaping. The family frequently entertains outside, enjoying the covered travertine patio, porch and pergola year-round.

The former dining room became a second home office, exclusively for Cheryl’s use.

“That move freed us up to get rid of that ‘Mom’s nook’ in the kitchen, which can get so cluttered,” Dastugue explains. “And considering how much time we spend in the kitchen, I’m really glad for the tidier look.”

Top: The re-tooled family room includes streamlined shelving and

an updated fireplace.


Here are five ideas taken from recently remodeled homes:

CABINETS If you feel the stained cabinets in your kitchen are making your room dark, painting them will immediately freshen the space. If you don’t want a bright white, a cream color or lighter shade of grey are good options. Changing out the hardware is another alternative. Satin nickel or chrome can be found at your local home improvement store.COUNTER TOPS AND BACKSPLASH Changing the countertops and/or backsplash in your kitchen can give a kitchen an entirely new look without having to paint the cabinets. Solid surface countertops are available in granite, marble and the newest option, quartz. This solution requires minimal mess and time with a quick turnaround.L IgHT INg Replace large light boxes in the kitchen with recessed

can lighting and/or a chandelier or pendant lights. Another idea is to remove a chandelier, ceiling fan or any oil-rubbed bronze item and replace it with lighting that has a more current finish of satin nickel or burnished bronze. Or try a drum shade chandelier or pendant lights with a blown-glass dome. Keep shades free of fringe and beading for a simpler, clean-lined look.FURNI TURE If you have a piece of furniture that is comfortable or of good quality, re-cover it in a neutral, grey or beige. Or paint the wood of an old accent chair and recover it in a fun graphic print. A good upholsterer can change rounded arms to straight.WALLPAPER It’s making a comeback with modern graphics, metallics and textures that have been brought up to date.

A New Leaf

Founder and CEO Chris Dahlander, above right, created Snappy Salads, a salad restaurant where men fit in. All visible wood in the restaurant — including tables, light boxes and

paneling — was salvaged from a Kentucky tobacco warehouse.

few years ago, Chris Dahlander had a life-changing epiphany. Watching himself shave in the mirror one morning, he noticed that eight years of decadent, free meals (a perk of his job as marketing director at Macaroni Grill) had turned the Dallasite into something he didn’t like: a heavier version of himself.

Taking a cue from what he felt was conventional wisdom, he shied away from rich foods and started eating salads. But in a world where salads are typically the domain of women, where could a guy fit in? Dahlander couldn’t find the right restaurant, so he created it.

Enter Snappy Salads, possibly the area’s first man-friendly salad joint. Simply put, Snappy Salads is built for guys who want to get a salad made to their liking, sit in a comfortable place and leave without having to tip or clean up. The Southlake location, which opened in April on the corner of Southlake Boulevard and Kimball Avenue, is the fifth restaurant in the DFW chain.

Snappy Salads’ mission is to make the highest quality salad as quickly and efficiently as possible — for both men and women. Fourteen menu salads, including the popular Grilled Avocado, the Sautéed Salmon and the heart-healthy Spa Salad, were created with an emphasis on producing harmony between ingredients.

“It’s easy to put fat, sugar and salt together and make it taste good,” says Dahlander, founder and CEO of the restaurant and an Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year finalist in the Southwest Area North. “But

A


putting a well-made, healthy salad together and have it be appealing is another.”

Women flock to the restaurant, and thanks to tough-as-nails salad names like the Bulldog and the Brutus, men are taking notice, too. In fact, the Snappy Salads tagline is, “So good, even guys like our salads.”

If the expertly crafted menu salads aren’t to your liking, you can customize your own from an impressive selection of lettuces and produce additions. Choose from a variety of proteins, including chicken, steak and seafood; finish up with cheeses, nuts and your choice from a mile-long list of dressings. Soups, bread and baked potatoes round out the menu, with all items fresh-cut or prepared from scratch in-house.

Once a salad is assembled, it goes for a spin — literally — in a stainless-steel bowl nestled in an ice bath. The rotation sends dressing into every nook and cranny.

In addition to fresh and healthy fare,

environmental preservation lies at the heart of the Snappy Salads concept. All visible wood in the restaurant — including tables, light boxes and paneling — was salvaged from a Kentucky tobacco warehouse. Porcelain and recycled bottles have found new life as countertops, while Mason jars and Dr Pepper bottles have been made into light fixtures. You won’t find a scrap of Styrofoam around here; instead, cups, takeout containers and utensils are made from corn and are completely biodegradable.

As an added service to patrons (and to our planet), all Snappy Salads locations offer fluorescent lightbulb and battery recycling year-round at no charge. For the restaurant’s semiannual Electronic Waste Recycling Day it collects old computers, phones and stereos to keep them out of landfills.

Snappy Salads has already earned several local commendations, including nods for best salad and a Texas Restaurant Association Restaurant Neighbor award. With its long, open gathering tables and cheerful staff, it’s no surprise that the restaurant fits

right in with the friendly vibe of the tight-knit Southlake community.

The restaurant is open from 11 a.m. to 9 p.m. Monday through Saturday and from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Sunday. Plenty of outdoor seating is available, and soon you’ll be able to pop open a cold beer or enjoy a glass of wine with your meal.

The 14th Art in the Square, the annual outdoor art-food-entertainment festival hosted by those busy la-dies of the club — the Southlake Women’s Club — was again a success by any measure.

Because it’s always held the last weekend in April, the club takes a gamble that we’ll have the kind of spring weather that makes you glad you live in Texas instead of the kind of weather that makes you pull a mattress over your head. Well, thank your lucky begonias, it was perfect … or close enough. All the better for selling soft drinks. And art. And food. The club broke its record, raising more than $200,000 that will be given to area charities. Club members are busting their buttons, too, because this particular event pushed them past the $2 million mark in the total amount raised in 14 years.

“Everybody was just thrilled,” said Carmen Evans, the club’s perennial sponsor chair. Carmen seems to have retained, or at least reclaimed, her sense of humor, even though this year’s sponsorship spots were so popular that it caused a bit of a headache. Not only were businesses begging to get into the event, but when the number grew to the 100 mark, logistics became somewhat of a dilemma. With those sponsorships comes automatic admittance to the ever-popular VIP party at the Southlake Hilton. Capacity was set at 300.

The end-of-the-year post-festival luncheon at Patrizio Osteria also boasted a capacity turnout. This year’s chair, Lisa Quinn, assisted by co-chair Darcy Deno, turned over the reins to 2014 chairwoman Kris Nelson. Ute Busse will step up as president.

The senior presentation that the Southlake Chapter of National Charity League hosts each May is a high point of the mother-daughter organization’s year. The girls, who have contributed countless hours to the communi-ty through their philanthropic work, are rewarded with a formal banquet as they graduate from high school.

Each senior is introduced and congratulated on her good works.It’s always a mix of emotions. The moms who have nudged, pushed and pulled

their beautiful girls through the busy six-year program — as they’ve excelled in high school winning scholarships, running track, cheering and playing in the band — are proud and happy, mixed with a certain amount of astonishment at how their babies could have grown up so fast. This year was one for poignant reflection.

The 30 girls and their moms remembered that the number should have been 31. Tayler Reynolds, who would have been in the class of 2013, died four years ago from complications of cancer. So even as the graduating seniors donned their long white evening gowns to dance to “Cinderella” with their tuxedo-clad fathers, they remembered Tayler and her mother, Ginger Reynolds, who was also a member .

Among the Tiffany blue-and-white color scheme and Out of the Garden flower arrangements, Ginger was asked to give the invocation and committee member Kathy Talley was sure there wouldn’t be a dry eye in the house. “Ginger has been very strong, and she’s been very supportive,” Kathy said. “We wanted to make sure we honored her and Tayler.”

Even though the Southlake Chamber of Commerce has no official president, the awards must go on. Former prez Dana D. Davis left for a job in Bentonville, Ark.

The annual awards banquet is still scheduled for 6:30 to 9 p.m. June 20 at the Marriott Solana in Westlake, and event chairman Mark Jones has booked Bob Ortegel of Fox Sports Southwest to speak. Tickets cost $75.

But two things remain a mystery. First, who, some wonder, will follow Mayor John Terrell as the winner of the Citizen of the Year Award? Second, others want to know exactly who will follow Dana Davis as the next chamber president.

Right now, six-year board member Mark Guilbret is serving as interim president but board chair Traci Bernard of Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Southlake is leading the team selecting the permanent president. The deadline for deciding … well, that just might be the third mystery.

behind the scenes

ill Marks is doing what some cooks only dream of — making a business out of her craft. The Southlake mother of four began Cookies, Crumbs and Crust from scratch in her own kitchen three years ago. Today, companies including Neiman Marcus, American Airlines and Southlake’s Central Market come calling for her delicious desserts.

The Southern California native credits her mother with instilling a fearless sense of creativity in the kitchen. “We grew up with many different kinds of food,” Marks recalls. “We were always cooking and baking.” Even after she married and began raising a family, dinner was planned around dessert.

Teachers and coaches got cookies. Neighbors found muffins in their mailboxes. “People were oohing and aahing, ‘Oh, you should be selling this,’ and I never took it seriously,” Marks says. That is, not until a guest at a friend’s gathering was so impressed with her caramel corn that she ordered some for a company function. “That was big for me,” she admits.

She had no company name, so a sister suggested something their grandfather always said. “My grandparents were wheat farmers in Kansas,” Marks explains. “He would come off the fields and ask my grandmother for a cookie, crumb or crust.” She knows the name is a mouthful but loves the nod to her family. “My peanut butter cookies that sell out at Neiman’s, that’s one of my grandmother’s recipes.”

The family’s move to Southlake in 2004 was a good one. “I wish I had found Texas earlier,” she says. When a real estate agent showed her the two-acre property she now owns, Marks knew it

was a fit. As her boys grew and were out of the house more, there was more time to bake for teachers and friends, but along the way she found a customer. “I was having coffee with a girlfriend in Dallas, and when I went up to the counter, I realized they didn’t have any biscotti.” The owner agreed to try her Italian cookie. It was then, Marks says, that she saw the possibilities for her creative baking and, at a friend’s suggestion, decided to step into a professional kitchen.

That kitchen is a large space she shares with other culinary professionals who love the craft. She credits the owner for the opportunity to take her baking to a new level. “I’m able to come in and manufacture my product and grow. I can visualize what will and won’t work.” That first coffeehouse customer, the Pearl Cup, now buys her biscotti, scones, quiches and vanilla bean cookies. “They have three locations now. We’ve grown together,” she adds.

Marks’ day begins early. Often she’s at the kitchen by 6:30 a.m.; then she heads back home by 8 a.m. to get her youngest to school. Some days are devoted to baking, others to packaging. She cuts her day short in order to make her young son’s sporting events but admits to working into the night if necessary to tweak

a recipe or finish some paperwork. She is quick to note that none of this could have happened without the help of her friends, who sampled

her desserts and encouraged her to sell them; her sisters, who continue to share and compare recipes; her supportive sons, who have run errands and made deliveries; and the other professionals who share her passion for food. And she gives final credit to her mother for instilling the joy of cooking and a sense of perseverance.
