YOU ARE NOT ALONE

I’ve only read the first paragraph of your “Opening

Remarks” column [October Advocate], but had to

immediately stop and email you to say “Thanks!”

You’ve given me the warm fuzzies by letting me

know that I am not alone. At least once each day,

I wonder how any member of my family could

nonchalantly walk away from the overflowing

garbage bins with lids that will no longer close.

Thanks to you, I can now look at the situation and

laugh, which is really good for my mental health.

—JANICE BLOOM

ALL WET?

Loved the article in the magazine (“Dal as’

Drinking Problem”, October Advocate). But your

recent post on the blog (Wet/dry election: one

month to go”, Advocate Back Talk blog Oct. 4)

seems to lead people to think that a liquor store

(Spec’s) will be opening in their neighborhood

soon. If the retail issue of the wet/dry election

passes, Spec’s would only be allowed to sell

beer and wine, not liquor. The vote is for modi-

fied wet only, and Spec’s business model may

not be possible without liquor sales, especially

when they would be competing in the beer/wine

market with every 7-11, grocery store and gas

station in any community they would enter —

keeping profits low on these sales. Big profits

are in hard liquor. Thanks for your great writing.

—AMY SEVERSON

You needn’t have gone so far in answering your

question, “Did Dallasites make moonshine?”

During Prohibition, a man named Mills planted

lots of pecan trees on his property in Lake

Highlands. At the southeast corner of Lanshire

and Audelia, and northward, these trees gave

cover to the stills he had there. The more quiet

farm neighbors referred to him as a “gang-

ster”. Quite a few of the pecan trees remain.

(From Marilynn McKnight, a history of Lake

Highlands done by a Girl Scout troop in 1976 as

a Bicentennial Project.)

LAMENTING THE LOSS OF BURGER SPOT

A lot of business is required to make a restau-

rant profitable. If we want to have eating options

in LH, it’s going to be hard for the “little guys” and

mom-and-pop restaurants to make it unless the

patrons really come out on a regular basis. It’s

location, location, location, and not enough people

visit, much less frequent, the Tom Thumb/El Fenix

shopping center where the Burger Spot is located.

—MARGIE FRANK, VIA

We lease the space next to Burger Spot (LH Media

Center) and are baffled by its demise. We watched

people going and coming every day in a steady

stream, families on the weekends and business

people at lunch. All the fixings were in place for

success. And in regard to location, we researched a

long time before opening in Plaza Skillman and are

thrilled with our decision (although disappointed

about losing the Burger Spot traffic). We are sur-

rounded by successful businesses, and are seeing

new clients every day. We are looking forward to a

long run here, and hope to get a restaurant back up

and running next door soon.

—CINDY CAUSEY, VIA

LH’S NEW FITNESS STUDIO

Don’t want to be a downer here — I love small busi-

ness owners and people willing to take a risk and

give something a shot (“New LH fitness business

promises ‘better results’ ”, Advocate Back Talk blog Oct. 4). But I believe the limited hours of operation

could be an issue. There’s a reason why LA Fitness,

24 Hour Fitness, etc. are open seemingly all the

time: people are busier than ever and need the con-

venience of time options. This is especially true in a

family-centered area like LH in which most people

have children.

—BBALLCAP, VIA

We have already modified our class times to

meet need. My partners, myself and my wife

have full-time jobs. Mark and I coach our kids’

soccer teams, baseball teams ... we are passion-

ate about CrossFit and fitness and simply want

to help our Lake Highlands neighbors achieve

the best fitness possible ... I appreciate the

statements questioning the business model, but

does it always have to be about money and busi-

ness? This is not a money-making deal for us. It

is about doing something we love and helping

people out.

—CHRIS SCHMIEDEKE, CROSSFIT LAKE HIGHLANDS, VIA

It’s hard to ignore such a positive attitude. Good

luck with your gym. Attitude and passion is a

huge factor in a successful business.

—ISC, VIA

They met at a Flock of Seagulls concert

and have been friends ever since. They are

not alike in every way: SARAH PERRY is a

gardener, urban chicken farmer and mother

of three. MARY NORVELL is an “immature

gardener compared to Sarah,” she says,

and a graphic designer. But they work well

together. So when Perry set her sights on

starting a local farmers market, Norvell

said, “I’m in.” A local shop owner let them

use his lot, and the women have been

bringing local farmers and craftspeople

together twice monthly for more than a

year now. Though the market is seasonal, it

doesn’t stop when the temps drop. In fact,

it will run right through the holidays.

How did this market

get going?

MN: Bruce Bagelman, the Green Spot owner, and Sarah

were discussing the idea; he agreed to let us have it in

the parking lot ...

SP: ...which is a big deal. To let us just come in and take

over his parking lot. We were impressed that he wanted

to participate. We knew the right mentality was here,

that people in this neighborhood support local farmers

markets, and that people here would embrace it.

Were you surprised

about how quickly it

gained popularity?

SP: Partly, especially considering we don’t really adver-

tise and that it is all word of mouth, but like we said, we

expected it to be well-received. We’ve been happy with

the response. The vendors are happy. There is a com-

munity here, and it is nice to see the market being part

of that community.

Sarah Perry and Mary Norvell founded the White Rock Local Market.

writer in

residence

Arge Brockles, “On My Way Home”

“On My Way Home” is a religious

memoir by Lake Highlands resident

Arge Brockles, who founded Northlake

Bible Church in Garland in 1972. This

is Brockles’ personal story of how

he escaped a “religious haze” and

transformed his spiritual life. Dallas

oldtimers might recognize the Brockles

name from Brockles Restaurant, a

popular downtown Dallas eatery during

the 1940s-70s, or from Brockles Special

Dressing. Arge Brockles grew up in the

home of mom Ola and dad, restaurateur

Andrew Brockles in Lakewood. The

family’s immigration from Greece,

life through World War II, the writer’s

academic dismissal from Texas A&M and

subsequent initiation into the restaurant

business all shape the memoir, which

is peppered with laugh-out-loud tales

of struggles with language barriers and

a father’s bad driving habits and good

fortune with traffic cops. By the end of

the story, the author has solidified his

Christian faith. —CHRISTINA HUGHES BABB

every reason to believe kids’ playgrounds

are going the route of the McMansion.

Steeples jut up from behind backyard

fences, and winding plastic slides spring

forth from bright towering edifices that

leave limited space for the remainder of

the schoolyard. However, the playground

of the future actually might look a lot

like the old-school version. Natural

students quickly ran out of things to do,

but not here. “We might have 86 primary

school children out here at one time and

everyone has something to do. Before,

they could climb, hang and slide, but this

is really interactive.” In addition to the fun

factor, natural playgrounds might be safer

and easier to maintain than the traditional

types. “The safety inspector was blown

says. St. James has completed the first

raising money to build phase two.

A guide to

dining & drinking

in our neighborhood

TURKEY TIME

WHEN YOU THINK OF A CAFETERIA, gourmet food doesn’t exactly come to mind. But Highland Park Cafeteria has debunked that

myth, especial y when it comes to Thanksgiving dinner. “Our

secret is that fresh, raw ingredients are less expensive than prepared,” owner Jeff Snoyer says. “Any time there’s a tomato scare or an egg scare, we don’t worry because we know exactly where our food comes from.” The cafeteria’s vegetables are grown no more than 50 feet from a dirt road and nowhere near power lines. It only serves what’s in season, and for the holidays, that means baked squash, zucchini muffins and pumpkin bread, all

made in-house by cooks who have been interpreting recipes for more than 20 years. For just $7.99, customers can go through the line and stay as long as they like. “You pay $7, and you’re a member,” Snoyer says. And everyone in uniform receives

a 50 percent discount. Last year during Thanksgiving week,

Highland Park Cafeteria served about 9,000 over a three-day

period. Pies stacked high on the counters, and people lined up around the building. “For some families in Dallas, it’s a family tradition,” he says. The cafeteria in Casa Linda Plaza is a Dallas landmark that first opened in 1925 on Knox Street. In 1981 The New York Times called it “America’s Cafeteria”, and neighbors lamented its closing in 1995. “Everyone in the community was just crying about it,” Snoyer says. “I said, ‘Someone’s got to open this.’ I worked in real estate, and had never seen the inside of restaurant kitchen before.” He says the staff’s dedication and attention to detail has kept Highland Park Cafeteria a mainstay for Dallas. “We have a sacred trust to keeping it true to its roots.”

“‘My God,’ he said, ‘there are about seven of

them back there.’” STACY NAFTEL

It was July 4, 1951, and young pilot Stacy Naftel, flying a B-45

Tornado, was on his second-ever mission. Under the cover of night, he and his crew were to gather data about a supposed military complex in northeastern Manchuria. The men were 250 miles from their destination and 35,000 feet in the air when something hit the window.

“It looked like a Roman candle bounced off the glass and then another off more than a magazine

the wing,” Naftel says. “I looked below us. There was nothing but darkness.

42

NOVEMBER 2010 lakehighlands.advocatemag.com

So I asked my co-pilot to turn and see if

anything was behind us.” A few seconds

later the co-pilot responded grimly, ‘My

God, Stace. There are about seven of

them back there.’ ”

The next 30 minutes were spent

avoiding the fire of seven MiG fighter

jets. “They were lined up in an echelon

formation, where one would shoot until

it ran out of ammo, then another would

take its place,” Naftel explains. “We

went into a series of corkscrew maneu-

vers, varied speeds and altitudes, and

we generally tried to shake them and

spoil their aiming stability.”

It worked.

“The only fireworks we saw that Fourth

of July were enemy fire,” Naftel quips.

As traumatic as the experience

sounds, it’s what he wanted. For his

25-year-old self, he says, “this was an

adventure.” He aspired to be a photog-

rapher, but soon realized that the ser-

vice paid better. Plus, his buddies were

signing up in droves, and he didn’t

want to miss out.

“All of my classmates were enlist-

ing — they told me not to accept

anything other than the Air Corps.”

Freshly graduated from his New York

State high school, he took his buddies’

advice. Within a year, Naftel was in

a pilot-training program. He flew jets

throughout WWII, the Korean War and

Vietnam War, and mentored new pilots.

In all, he served 33 years, and retired

as a colonel.

Today, in the closet of his Lake

Highlands home — where he has lived

with his wife, Bette, since 1974 — he

hangs his pilot uniform, which still fits

him; and he displays a Silver Star, the

military’s third highest decoration for

valor in the face of the enemy. The cita-

tion that accompanied the medal notes

that Naftel fulfilled his call to duty and

never backed down, even when back-

ing down would have been acceptable

because of the extreme danger. It reads:

“The technical proficiency, exceptional

courage and devotion to duty displayed

by Captain Naftel were in keeping with

the highest tradition of the service, and

reflected great credit on himself and the

Lake Highlands grocers are knee deep in make-

overs and milk wars. Kroger 4 (Northwest

Highway and Plano) and Target (Medallion Center)

have been undergoing renovations for the past sev-

eral months to update their retail spaces, and Lake

Highlands residents are benefiting in more ways

that one. Kroger’s updated bakery, produce and

deli sections give the grocer a much-needed new

look, and allow for a plethora of new products (more

fresh breads and baked goods). Likewise, Target

has renovated its grocery section in order to provide

customers a larger selection of food and beverages.

Not only are all of these updates providing residents

with a more pleasant shopping experience, but the

competition among local grocers is translating into

some fabulous bargains for the discerning shop-

per — such as killer meat and produce specials at

Albertsons, Tom Thumb and Kroger, and milk for 99 cents at a few stores, a price driven down by

new market entrant Aldi. The last time milk was that

cheap was 1969; that same year, gas cost 32 cents

a gallon, and a first class stamp cost 5 cents.
