THOMAS EDWARDSEXECUTIVE EDITOR

FROM THE [email protected]

Back in July 2012, San Antonio experienced a true shift in community journalism when LOCAL’s first two newspapers rolled off the press. No one had seen anything like them in this market: monthly, direct-mailed and free news publications focusing on the neighborhood stories no other media covered.

Since then, our newspapers targeting specific ZIP codes grew to six, with plans to launch even more editions during the next few years. LOCAL has also seen total circulation increase to nearly 200,000 copies.

Our formula for news coverage seems to be working. Readers have embraced our style of storytelling, with articles and commentary written by some of the best reporters in the area.

Even more relevant, readers say the papers have become an important part of their lives because of the vital information they contain regarding local events, school activities, traffic issues, crime and so on.

Our goal remains to inform, entertain and educate our audience.

In fact, on the eve of LOCAL’s third birthday, our strategy calls for intensifying neighborhood coverage by drilling down even deeper to bring readers the most interesting and up-to-date coverage of where they live.

Thus, LOCAL is now assigning staff reporters to cover specific ZIP codes and geographic areas, where they will be on a constant lookout for stories that matter to you, your family and your friends.

However, the process is a two-way street. We need to hear from you.

We’re proud of the progress LOCAL has made during the last three years, but we know it wouldn’t be possible without the help of our readers and advertisers. Thank you.

Celebrating LOCAL’s third birthday

hese are interesting times at LOCAL

Community News. In July, we celebrate our third anniversary, but we’re not just blowing out the candles on the cake. We’re looking ahead, too.

LOCAL COMMENTARY

Taxes — a true political footballby SUSAN YERKES

Football fans have a long summer to endure before the season gets rolling this fall. Yet, there’s been

no shortage of political football, with property taxes playing the pigskin.

During the legislative session, everybody had a plan to cut your taxes, and the battles in the headlines got fierce. It’s been a taxing mental exercise trying to keep up with the rhetorical pileups, dramatic tackles and occasional fumbles.

Part of the problem is perspective, known in political life as “spin.”

The glowing merits of one player’s plan were invariably met with a barrage of damning criticism from another player,

who then touted his or her alternative plan’s powerful pluses. The Texas Senate wanted to cut sales taxes. The state House worked to cut property taxes. Everybody had a different solution for the holy grail of tax relief, and everybody had tons of data to prove they were right.

Perplexing. In fact, the Legislature is expressly

forbidden to levy property taxes in Texas – thus the end runs and endless interpretations of the state Constitution. However, lawmakers can — and have — set limits on tax rates imposed by county tax collectors each year.

San Antonio hasn’t raised property tax rates in a dozen years. The thing is, the rates don’t have to rise to blow up your tax bill. A cut in the property-tax rate is a drop in the bucket compared to the rising valuations of most properties. It’s the market value that keeps climbing, and raising your taxes.

According to the Pew Charitable Trusts, median property taxes have risen more than 60 percent since 2000, much faster than the rate of inflation. This year in Texas, Dallas property went up 15 percent on average, while Austin and San Antonio got a relative break with an average of 11 percent.

Counties have their own appraisal

districts, and are required by law to reappraise your property at least every three years. However, it’s not the kind of appraisal you get when you want to sell or buy a home, where you hire a professional to come out and give you an independent appraisal. By necessity, appraisal districts use other methods – comparing home-sales prices in the area, and estimating the amount you would pay to replace your home.

Even if you have the crummiest house in the neighborhood, it’s not unlikely you will get popped with a higher tax bill.

When I got my property-tax bill this spring, I saw the market value of my little condo had risen by nearly 25 percent since last year.

Fortunately, there’s a way to at least try to reduce your own property tax – filing a protest with the appraisal district.

Your appeal is heard by an independent appraisal-review panel, which theoretically has no direct ties

to the appraiser’s office. The last few years I’ve sworn to myself I would do it, and then missed the June 1 deadline. This year, I finally got serious.

I’ll learn a little about the process, at the very least.

San Antonio had its own political football game recently, with one candidate claiming he had helped ease the appraisal process with a bill he passed while in the Legislature, and another candidate claiming the bill made the appeals process much harder, and all the major candidates promising tax relief if elected.

Don’t hold your breath. The political-football game

is likely to keep going as long as politicians are out there politicking. Personally, I find good old gridiron football much more entertaining.

At least, when the game is over you know who won.

However, while peaceful assembly to address a societal ill is a cornerstone of American democracy, recent protests of late — including a gathering on the Northeast Side that tied up traffic, according to reports — are rarely welcome when they complicate the lives of others or lead to violence.

Such dissent does little to convince folks to join the protesters’ cause.

Peaceful assemblies should seek to inspire and motivate; create consensus; foster a sense of community; and empower change.

Unfortunately, some recent protests over the deaths of black men in police custody started out peacefully, but turned into orgies of looting and violence.

There is no excuse for such wanton destruction. No amount of anger or feelings of alienation justify burglarizing stores, burning down pharmacies or damaging other property.

Thankfully San Antonio has been spared such outbreaks, but a recent act of civil protest apparently became more of a nuisance than a rallying point.

In the episode, local protestors in a show of solidarity with residents in Baltimore — the latter group angered by the death of a black man after he suffered a spinal injury while under arrest — blocked a portion of Perrin-Beitel Road and Loop 410 at a restaurant.

Though San Antonio police said the assembly remained peaceful, media accounts reported that many motorists were irked when the traffic flow became interrupted.

No matter how important your cause, very few people will be inclined to sympathize with you if you are impeding their way to work or home, when they are picking up their children or when they are trying to go about their business.

Disagreeing with the government doesn't mean having to act uncivilly.

Nuisance protests don’t inspire support

The right to peacefully assemble is enshrined in the First Amendment,

which recognizes people are allowed to protest government actions so long as no harm is done.

show Stone Oak residents how to reduce wildfire threats while supporting area communities’ pursuit of awareness and preparedness. The Big Springs Homeowners Association hosted the demonstration and will become the first “nationally recognized Firewise Community” in San Antonio, officials said. Cutting and chipping brush in a park surrounding the clubhouse, tennis courts and pool areas, the SAFD conducted a “hazardous-fuels mitigation demonstration project.” The National Fire Protection Association’s Firewise Communities Program promotes safe solutions by encouraging homeowners in natural areas or neighborhoods with brush to take steps lessening wildfire risks.

VISITORS TO PANTHER SPRINGS PARK can now see a recently erected public-art display, city officials said. Public Art San Antonio commissioned artist Jon Isherwood to create the original piece. Sotol Duet is a two-part granite sculpture — one red and one black, according to a newsletter from District 9 Councilman Joe Krier. “The sculptures take their shape from the sotol plant that can be found throughout the park,” the councilman said. “The red-granite sculpture sits 7 feet high, resembling the sotol plant above

ground while the black-granite sculpture at 4.25 feet is inspired by the root of the sotol plant below ground.” City officials said they plan to install an identification plaque recognizing the artwork.

FIFTH-GRADE STUDENTS FROM STONE OAK ELEMENTARY competed in the North East Independent School District’s first elementary school UIL Academics Competition on May 8.

1,150-pupil facility near Borgfeld Road in the Kinder Ranch area. In addition, a 1,050-student school is set for Hubertus Road and FM 482 in Garden Ridge. About $94 million of the voter-approved bond is earmarked for the new schools, which are designed to relieve enrollment at Smithson Valley and Canyon middle schools, each projected to reach capacity by 2018. The rest will fund technology improvements ($21.3 million); capital projects at existing facilities ($20.1 million); upgrade student safety and security ($5.4 million) and $6.1 million for land acquisitions in CISD’s high-growth areas along U.S. 281 and Interstate 35. “We’re pleased voters approved Bond 2015 so we can continue to address the rapid growth in Comal ISD,” said Superintendent Andrew Kim. “We are very appreciative for the support and we will work to ensure that the process of implementing these bond projects is transparent, so that we can be held accountable by our community.” Also, trustee Amy Freund bested Gwen Pain in the District 5 race, and District 6 school board incumbent Marty Bartlett ran unopposed.

LOWDOWN continues from pg. 15 ELECTIONS continues from pg. 01

Voters also approved two propositions and four City Charter amendments. The amendments include paying council members a livable wage and allowing residents to cast ballots on light-rail and streetcar issues.

Neither incumbent Ivy Taylor nor former state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte received a majority of votes in the mayoral race, setting the stage for a runoff June 13.

DISTRICT 9Krier, a longtime businessman,

secured a full term as a council member with 72.3 percent of the vote, outpacing four other candidates.

Police officer-turned-educator Jeffry Van Slycke finished a distant second, receiving 10 percent, followed by small-business owner Richard Castanon, accountant/investor Lori Slusher and retired dentist Bert Cecconi.

The council appointed Krier, a former Greater San Antonio Chamber of Commerce president, as an interim representative in November 2013 after Elisa Chan resigned for a state Senate bid. He ran in May 2014 to complete Chan’s term.

“I think the citizens of District 9 believe I have been a good advocate and listener,” he said following the May 9 election results.

Now, Krier seeks a “back-to-basics” focus regarding the city’s budget, saying it’s vital San Antonio soon reaches new accords with its police and fire unions.

“We have got to get contracts that are fair to police officers and firefighters on the line, and fair to the city and the taxpayers,” he said. “I’ve made it very clear for a long time that we couldn’t carry on with the same benefits as in the past, otherwise the city would go bankrupt.”

As for budgeting priorities, aside from concentrating on streets, drainage, libraries, parks and public safety, Krier said, “anything else is just extra.” Soon

enough, Krier added, the city will initiate a public-involvement process to plan another five-year bond program, which the electorate could consider in 2017.

“There are many infrastructure needs in District 9,” he said.

Although many observers lamented the low-voter turnout – 11.8 percent citywide for a crowded mayoral election – of the 10 City Council contests, Krier’s 9,277 votes was the most by any candidate.

Krier said another factor in his re-election was his visibility in last year’s streetcar debate. As opposition to VIA Metropolitan Transit’s downtown streetcar plan increased, early on Krier was one of the council members who successfully suggested putting the proposal before the public.

“There were 26,000 people who signed the streetcar petition, who want to see it go before a public vote. They were determined to go to the polls,” Krier said.

The council ultimately pulled the city’s pledged financial support, opting instead to place on the May ballot a City Charter amendment requiring a public vote on any streetcar initiative, which passed with 67 percent.

Krier said he’s long maintained the proposal isn’t about whether such a system is viable in

San Antonio, but for voters to have a say on how taxpayer funds should be allocated, as some considered streetcars to override the fundamental needs of a city or its residents.

He also noted his involvement in water issues.

“I’ve told residents I would help to address our water supply and that happened,” he added, referring to the long-term Vista Ridge project, which will bring non-Edwards Aquifer water to San Antonio from east of Austin.

DISTRICT 10Air Force retiree Mike Gallagher

received 81 percent of the vote to claim a full two-year term as a councilman.

Gallagher, who previously presided over the Northeast Neighborhood Alliance and chaired the city’s Board of Adjustment, easily defeated Celeste Montez-Tidwell, a worker in customer service or public relations for several years.

Gallagher attributed his win to active neighborhood leaders staying engaged in a variety of district and citywide issues.

“My goals remain improving our district’s infrastructure, strengthening the security of our neighborhoods and businesses, and looking for positive development opportunities,” Gallagher said. “We will do this by carefully directing the budget, the bond programs, and working on improvement projects like our Northeast Corridor Revitalization Program.”

He also was pleased a majority of constituents echoed his sentiment about the streetcar vote and raising the pay of elected officials. Gallagher’s office initiated a study into the feasibility of increasing the salaries of the mayor and council members.

PROPOSITIONSTwo city propositions passed:

renewing a one-eighth cent sales tax to buy conservation easements over the aquifer’s recharge zone, and retaining a one eighth-cent sales tax to continue expanding city creekways and green spaces.

Besides the streetcar issue, voters OK’d three other Charter amendments: raising salaries of the mayor and council members to $61,725 and $45,722, respectively; calling a special election to fill a council or mayoral vacancy with 120 days or more left in a term; and eliminating Charter provisions superseded by state law and to update outdated language.

Gallagher said approval of these propositions and amendments reflects an increasingly educated local electorate.

“At the top of the list was protecting the Edwards Aquifer and extending our linear parks. That’s understandable because these two programs will continue to have profound and lasting effects on our city’s future,” he said.

Education of residents is a driving force behind alliance

For nearly 20 years, the District 9 Neighborhood Alliance has helped keep

area residents abreast of how local political decisions affect their lives.

The alliance is still going strong today with that same mission, its leaders say.

The organization was started in the late 1990s by attorney and former City Councilman Tim Bannwolf and a few other like-minded residents who lived in District 9.

Art Downey, the president of the alliance, has been with the organization since its inception and has been its leader for 16 years.

“They thought it would be a good idea to get an organization where neighborhood leaders could meet and

exchange ideas and also get input from the city and give input to the city,” Downey said about why the group was started.

The alliance usually meets at 7 p.m. every fourth Wednesday of the month in classroom No. 1 at the Stone Oak Methodist Hospital, 1139 E. Sonterra Blvd. just off U.S. 281 North. More details can be found at www.stoneoakpoa.com by clicking on District 9 information.

The organization recently hosted a forum attended by 10 of the 11 mayoral candidates, as well as speakers discussing the propositions on the May 9 ballot including four revisions to the City Charter.

The alliance strives to bring in speakers who address timely political issues such as council pay and the extension of the sales tax to pay for parks and aquifer protection.

“We try to get our members educated on the issues that are coming before neighborhoods,” Downey said.

According to its www.neighborhoodlink.com listing, the alliance has 30 member organizations primarily in District 9 and a mission “to assist alliance member associations and individuals in dealing with community issues, educate members and member associations as to issues within the governments of San Antonio, Bexar County and the state of Texas.”

Over the years, the organization’s meetings have featured a plethora of prominent speakers to educate members on city issues so they can spread the word to their neighborhoods.

Also, District 9 Councilman Joe Krier often attends the meetings.

“We try to keep up with events in the city; what’s going on down at the council, what important issues are coming up and we always give our opinions to the people that are speaking — but we never endorse a candidate,” said Bill Bailey, the group’s secretary since 2008.

According to Downey, when the alliance first started, its focus was on organizing neighborhoods and getting them involved in political and city issues. The group had committees that went out and sat down with residents to teach them how to set up homeowners associations.

“We’ve sort of gotten away from that now because most of the organizations that are members have been formed for quite a while,” Downey said.

The alliance is made up of voting and nonvoting members. Voting members are presidents or vice presidents of HOA boards. Voting members pay $50 to be in the alliance and nonvoting members pay $15. Anyone can join as a nonvoting member.

The group has 17 voting members and

10 nonvoting members, according to Bailey.The meetings are open to the public. The alliance recently had former

District 8 Councilman Reed Williams as its guest speaker to answer questions about the Vista Ridge water project, which is bringing non-Edwards Aquifer water to San Antonio from east of Austin.

“We try to keep the questions succinct and on topic,” Bailey said.

The District 9 Alliance also donates money to organizations such as Keep San Antonio Beautiful, the Neighborhood Resource Center and other nonprofits.

“We try to help with the community as much as possible — we try to keep busy helping out our neighbors and keeping everyone informed,” Downey said.

Ken Piland has been a District 9 Alliance member for five years and said the organization’s strength is its regular meetings attended by the District 9 council member, which creates a direct line of communication between residents and their elected official.

“Communication is the No. 1 thing and our organization does a great job at that,” Piland said.

Issues addressed by the alliance these days include crime, code compliance, drainage, transportation, growth and water woes.

Numbering 28 participants, the organization is open to Encino Park residents, family members and friends desiring to share fun and fellowship through meetings and social events.

“I believe this club will help our neighborhood and ourselves stay healthy and connected,” said Chairwoman Dyan Montesclaros.

Longtime resident Francia Subia founded the Over 50 Club in 2007 as a communal gathering for those who had reached the half-century mark or more. Encino Park already had activities for kids and families, but nothing for more mature

residents and Subia wanted to fill the gap. “We have so many seniors and they

don’t have any place to do anything, so I put in the (Encino Park) newsletter that we’re starting a seniors club,” said Subia of the association’s origins.

The members meet at 11:30 a.m. twice a month on the first and third Tuesdays at the Encino Park Community Center, 1923 Encino Rio St. The sessions include information relevant to Encino Park or surrounding neighborhoods, updates on what members are doing, and a snack or light lunch provided by the membership.

The folks then break into smaller groups to continue conversations and play board games or cards. Sometimes the entire pack might play bingo or Bunco (a dice game). During holidays and special occasions such as Fiesta and Cinco de Mayo, the club holds get-togethers and decorates the community center in the spirit of the occasion.

Various outings and social events are Encino Park Over 50 Club traditions.

“Over the years, I have grown to really appreciate this group and all our members’ diversity,” Montesclaros said. “We go out to lunch a few times a year, take tours like to local independent-living facilities, the SAS Shoe Factory — to

Membership to the club is open to both genders for all Encino Park residents over the age of 50, as well as nonresidents who are friends or relatives of members.

“As for eligibility, I jokingly say: ‘If you live in Encino Park, are over 50 years old, over 50 pounds or 50 inches tall, you can join,’” quipped Montesclaros.

The chairwoman added, “I joined the club because I wanted to get to know my neighbors and community better. When

I worked, I put in so many hours that I rarely spent time at home when I could meet my neighbors or get involved in community events. This club is a sample of the neighborliness that exists in Encino Park and its surrounding communities.”

Organization members are very diverse and come from all walks of life, she noted. They want to remain socially and mentally active by enjoying their experiences with others.

“For me, the sharing and fellowship are priceless,” said Encino Park Over 50 member Donna Cecchini. “I find it a great place to congregate and share common interests. I just love being a part of such a special group.”

Members of the Encino Park Over 50 Club enjoying a recent get-together include Jeaenette Kindla (left), Marti Willis, Francia Subia, Donna Cecchini, Virginia Welch, Barbara Cowan and Dyan Montesclaros. The club helps residents stay healthy and connected, members say. Photo by Rudy B. Ornelas

MUSICIAN continues from pg. 01

Carson Thomas “Tom” Miller’s “A Night on False Light” won top honors in the Texas Emerging

Composers Competition, held this spring at Sam Houston State University in Huntsville.

“It was very emotional and very eye-opening for me. It was also a learning experience of how much I do know and how

much I’m still not aware of,” said Miller, 17, who has only been writing

music for just more than a year.The university’s Old Man Brass Choir,

conducted by Joseph Vranas, performed the work April 11 at the 53rd Annual SHSU Contemporary Music Festival.

Jarrett Lipman, Johnson’s band director, has known Miller since he was in middle school and also taught his older sister. The instructor said he has seen students pick up composition skills, but Miller’s “unbridled enthusiasm” sets him apart from the rest.

“Tom’s really the first one that has gone above and beyond, and just to really start to do something with his talent,” Lipman said.

“A Night on False Light” was conceived to express mysterious beauty, and how words sometimes fall short to describe such a thing, Miller said.

The poignant image prompting his composition almost was an afterthought, he added.

One December night on a Port Aransas beach, an orange moon reflected in the ocean and a lone lamp on the beach provided the only other illumination for miles around. Darkness enveloped all else — no stars, docks or boats could be seen from shore. Miller captured the moment on his smartphone, but it soon drifted from his mind.

A few months later he spotted the photo and found the muse for “A Night on False Light.” While some pictures are worth a thousand words, music set the tone here.

“It just catches your eye but you’re not exactly certain how to explain it without going on this massive, gigantic rant about having trying to explain every little intricate detail,” Miller said.

A trumpet player since middle school, Miller cites his mother as one of his inspirations — she played the instrument in high school and in the Ohio State University marching band.

Focused on the brass ensemble, the Johnson musician also is a Texas Music Educator Association All-Area trumpet player and section leader in the high school band program.

Miller’s parents, Pati and Carson Miller, said it was a thrill hearing their son’s work played for a collegiate audience. Pati Miller added the competition judge, Kyle Kindred, spent time with her son to discuss his musical ambitions.

“He was encouraging and shared some of the many directions that Tom could take with his music,” Pati Miller said.

Music has been a part of Tom Miller’s life since his older sister started playing percussion in a middle school band.

“It’s kind of hard to imagine a time where I wasn’t doing music,” Miller said.

He uses a computer program called

Finale to map songs, with the ability to listen, change and rearrange the music to hit the best notes. Miller is in tune with old-school methods, too, employing paper when he’s not near technology.

Not to toot his own horn, Pati Miller said her son shares works in progress with his parents.

“Tom can find inspiration everywhere and seems to be composing and arranging constantly,” his mother said. “It is amazing to hear how everything fits together when it’s done.”

The junior has written two official pieces, “A Night on False Light” and “Reign of Terror.” The latter contains an anti-bullying message for a competition about creating a better world. He has a few other projects underway, as well as snippets of music for a fantasy video game.

With a year of high school left, Lipman said, “The sky’s the limit” for his pupil.

Because Miller doesn’t frustrate easily, and has a great temperament and disposition, he could have a real chance in the music industry, the band director added.

“I don’t know if it’s a recipe to be successful, but it’s certainly a recipe to be resilient enough to fight through the field,” Lipman said.

ENCINO PARK continues from pg. 01

Debuting in 1989 as the first North East Independent School District campus outside Loop 1604, Encino Park Elementary served the growing population migrating to the far North Side. Today, there are 16 schools north of 1604.

With periodic attendance fluctuations, the exemplary-rated school boasting top test scores has seen several face-lifts, added technology, fostered plenty of community involvement and hosted extracurricular clubs and activities, officials said.

Beth Plummer, who took the reins as PTA president in 1996, said the school has made a huge impact.

“Schools really create community, and it sort of helped coalesce the whole neighborhood,” she said. “Before it was there, kids went to Coker Elementary, which was miles away. Good things happened in the community when the school opened.”

Diane Estes, the fourth Encino Park PTA president in the early 1990s, said attendance even extended across U.S. 281 North into Stone Oak during the subdivision’s embryonic days.

In 1996-97, the first elementary school serving Stone Oak was incomplete, so students from those neighborhoods came to Encino Park, Plummer added.

“They built Stone Oak in the mid-90s, but before that, all the kids were going to Encino Park,” Estes remembered. “We had to add portables, and the library became a classroom for pre-K and kindergarten.”

They called the era “Claw and Paw,” she said, alluding to the Encino Park Eagles and the Stone Oak Bobcats.

Both academies ran out of Encino Park with two principals, two PTAs, two pickup and drop-off car lines and “a lot of kids,” Plummer said. “It was chaos, and just a whole lot of fun. It was sad when it was over.”

Then and now, learning accompanied the good times, she added.

AutumnGrove Cottage Alzheimer’s and dementia care is not SOMETHING we do at Autumn-Grove Cottage - it’s ALL we do. Our ENTIRE business is dedicated to help-ing those with memory loss. Our uniqueness starts with our sole service of providing care to Alzheimer’s and dementia residents. We dig deeper into learning who our residents are and what makes them tick allowing us to cater to each one’s individual needs. We provide around the clock care through our “universal caregivers” and cottage managers. Our caregivers are unique because they are responsible for providing total care of the residents, hence the name “universal caregiver”. Because they are responsible for bathing and grooming residents, conducting activities and preparing and assisting with meals there is never a situation in which a resident has a need that a staff member would respond with “that is not my job”. With a staff-to-res-ident ratio two times higher than the industry average, our caregivers truly get to know each resident’s person-ality and preferences thus providing more personalized care. Specializing in memory loss care for only 16 residents per cottage has many benefits for both the staff and residents. We have the ability and capacity to learn the behaviors and habits of each resident. Our simple floor plan has a continuous walking path centered around a great room, a combination of dining room, living room and kitchen. This allows for safe wandering and reduced confusion for the residents. Our kitchen opens up to the great room and allows the smell of food being cooked travel through the cottage stimulating the residents’ appetites. Our purpose is to honor and respect our residents and help them keep their dignity and individuality. Depending on their type of memory loss, needs, habits, and behaviors we create a plan to help them feel com-fortable and important. Our heart is devoted to helping our residents and their families through these troubling times providing a safe and loving environment. AutumnGrove Cottage has 7 cottages throughout the Greater Houston Area and 2 cottages in San Antonio. “Our purpose is to honor our resi-dents and those who love and care for them.” ~AutumnGrove Cottage

“I have two lawyers and one in medical school who went there,” Plummer said. “Academically, it was, and is, great.”

Though “Claw and Paw” was nearly two decades ago, Plummer said educators and residents who previously toiled jointly still take an annual coastal trip and enjoy a fall dinner.

Thanks to Plummer, in January about 60 former Encino Park staffers, including administrators, teachers and PTA members from both schools, reunited. Some retired administrators and instructors continue to meet monthly for lunch, she noted.

“It was like (the kingdom of) Camelot,” Plummer said. “Everyone worked together and made it so joyful.”

After her stint as PTA president, Plummer successfully ran for the NEISD board, serving 10 years, six as president.

“That would not have happened without the Encino Park experience,” she said.

John Hinds, third-year Encino Park principal, said enrollment is 630 schoolchildren, with capacity about 1,000. The student body stretched to 1,200 during “Claw and Paw.”

On April 10, the school held its first Fiesta Festival with booths, a vendor-filled gym and a silent auction amassing $9,500, Hinds said

“Overall, the event raised $22,000 for the school,” he said, with next year’s shindig already earmarked for April 8.

A majority of the proceeds will fund a classroom-amplification system allowing students to hear a teacher walking around the room, via a small clip-on microphone and several strategically placed speakers.

There has always been a strong bond between the community and the school, Plummer said.

“Most of the families have children who went, or go, to the school,” she said. “The (community) pool always hosts the fifth-grade graduation party.”

Hinds said there are 25 extracurricular clubs at Encino Park, and neighbors — even those without children in the school — join parents as volunteers.

One program involves mentoring. Paul Miller, a retired colonel, and his wife Judy, both work as Encino Park mentors.

“Kids see their moms and dads and community members there, and it makes a difference,” said Paul Miller, a former Encino Park Homeowners Association manager. Miller has also decided to start an art-appreciation program for third-, fourth- and fifth-graders.

As the elementary school passes its silver anniversary on the road to golden, it might become multigenerational, Estes said.

“My older son just bought a home around the corner from us in Encino Park, and they have a 1-year-old,” she said. “So, grandma may be volunteering at the school again soon.”

Located at 2602 N. Loop 1604 West, Suite 207, the practice is owned by Dr. Manuel Castillo and his wife Claudia, who also serves as office manager.

Debuting in March, Happy Pediatric Dentistry celebrated a grand opening May 16.

“Our greatest satisfaction is seeing a hesitant child, who was previously afraid of the dentist, leave with a healthy, confident smile,” said Claudia Castillo.

“Our philosophy is that children always come first. We see children from their infancy through their teen years, including special-needs children.”

The practice welcomes new patients for checkups, professional cleanings, white or traditional restorations, white zirconia or traditional crowns, sports guards, space maintainers, emergencies and more.

“We make sure children and parents alike come into a pleasant, fun and warm atmosphere, so they are more relaxed at the time of treatment,” Castillo said. “We offer iPads and a movie room in the play area, TVs on top of every dental chair, a groovy water lamp and more.”

With 24 years of experience, her husband “continues to have a strong passion for treating children with a gentle touch, mesmerizing them with a few magic tricks, songs and games, which allows him to carry a conversation with

the child on his or her terms,” she said.Parents and offspring are encouraged

to visit the treatment areas together, giving the dentist an opportunity to discuss the child’s needs.

EAT LOCALLearn about the newest neighborhood places for breakfast, lunch, dinner or drinks

Launched in January, the dining destination, 1401 N. Loop 1604 West in The Vineyard shopping center, blends traditional steakhouse fare with South American dishes.

“I would describe (J-Prime) as a typical American-style steakhouse, but with a few South American twists, mostly in our side dishes,” said spokeswoman Carolina Paz.

Fresh selections — including wild-caught, sustainable fish; free-range chicken; and prime-grade beef butchered in-house — are cooked over a custom-made Brazilian parrilla grill. Smoldering coals,

or brasas, are heated to 1,200 degrees and add hickory, maple and oak flavoring.

“We offer the traditional fare like mashed potatoes, french fries, grilled vegetables,” Paz said, “but we also have a lot of South American sides like coxinha (croquettes), the casquinha de siri (crabmeat stewed in coconut milk and a variety of spices) and salchicha (grilled Argentinean sausage). Our fried oysters are covered with black beans. We also have plantains. Dishes like that help make us unique.”

J-Prime offers steaks dry-aged 45-60

days, plus an array of international wines. Another specialty, farofa, a Brazilian meal of yucca flour, green olives, bacon and hard-boiled eggs, helps J-Prime stand out.

“We’re a very customer-oriented restaurant and we concentrate on providing the guests a wonderful experience from beginning to end,” Paz said. “We want (all) to feel like they are a VIP while they are here and that will keep them coming back again and again.”

Hours are 5-10 p.m. Sunday through Thursday and 5-10:30 p.m. Friday and Saturday.

“I love to eat and I love to cook,” said chef Brian West. “If you cook what you love, people will love it.”

Situated in the ex-home of Auden’s Kitchen, a venture by Biga on the Banks’ Bruce Auden, the 7,000-square-foot establishment seats nearly 300, including 60 on the patio.

Partnering with Javier Sandoval and Adrian Martinez, who also own restaurants Formosa Garden, China Garden and nascent Hidden Dragon Cocktail Lounge, West designed Smoke as a chef-driven, upscale venue.

by OLIVIER J. BOURGOIN

Chef promises smokin’ good BBQ at new venture

Smoke, a new far North Side barbecue restaurant, cooked up a grand opening April 20 at

700 E. Sonterra Blvd., Suite 1117.

“I love barbecue, but I wanted to create a space where people could enjoy it in an upgraded type of atmosphere and where they would have more of a dining-room experience,” West said.

Be it bratwurst or french fries, West said, at Smoke everything is made in-house, including all breads, ranging from Hawaiian rolls to biscuits.

“The only thing we don’t make is the cheese and the ketchup,” West said.

He has several recommendations for diners.“I think my brisket is the best in the city,”

said the former local Culinary Institute of America instructor and contributor to TV's "Restaurant Impossible." Other choices include corned-beef ox tongue served with an ancho-cherry/cranberry demi-glace and charred sweet potatoes, chicken livers, Texas fried chicken, pig tails and “what we call our ‘Sexy BBQ Meatloaf.’ … Try our home-cured bacon,

which we also sell by the slice to go,” West said.He added, “The emphasis here is

on having a nose-to-tail philosophy where we use every part of the animal to make our own charcuterie.”

Mix in a cocktail-driven bar with a carefully selected wine list and 40 beers including 20 on tap. Speaking of liquids, Smoke has six homemade barbecue-sauce varieties.

Hours are 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. daily. The kitchen closes at 11 p.m.
