Lewisville ISD transportation LISD plans to hire 250 bus drivers to staff its newly created transportation department ahead of the 2025-26 school year. Lewisville ISD creates transportation department In late April, Lewisville ISD created its trans- portation department in a shift away from using contracted service, which were employed for the past 30 years. The district’s current contracted provider is Texas Central School Bus Services. The details

New trails, pier in store for Johns Park Flower Mound Town Council unani- mously approved a master plan for Leonard and Helen Johns Community Park, May 19. The overview MHS Planning and Design developed the master plan that outlines future improve- ments at the park located at 1850 Timber Creek Road. Funding for the project comes from the 2025 bond. Potential improvements include: • Five new tennis courts • A nature-themed play area and amphitheater • Additional trails • A boardwalk The construction of improvements is expected to finish by the end of 2027. During a May 5 work session, LISD Director of Transportation Dana Chandler said the transpor- tation department is looking to hire for several positions prior to the 2025-26 school year. Chandler said LISD needs to hire 250 bus drivers and Texas Central School Bus Services is about 30 bus drivers down compared to expected staffing. By bringing transportation services in-house, the expected cost increase in the fiscal year 2024- 25 is about $2 million, per district documents. Chief Financial Officer Scott Wrehe said the bud- get for the transportation department increases payroll, but non-payroll costs will decrease due to the move away from contracted bus services. LISD also owns 286 buses, but he said the district will have to purchase software for routing, parts, tires, equipment and a vehicle for roadside assistance. “Those numbers are very fluid,” he said. “It’s going to depend on hiring, how many staff are hired, and what they’re paid.

Mike Sims served the city of Terrell as assistant city manager for 11 years before being promoted to city manager in 2019, according to the city’s website. The town administrator manages the town departments, prepares and oversees the budget and provides assistance to the council, according to Argyle’s website. "Things that I believe were important in the search [for a town administrator] included a willingness to interact with the community," Mayor Ronald Schmidt said. "Someone that was outgoing and enjoyed dealing with the public."

Flower Mound OKs parking for new H-E-B Grocer H-E-B could occupy 22.86 acres within Furst Ranch after approval of an updated parking ratio at the May 5 council meeting. What you need to know The updated parking ratio is based on having one parking space per 150 square feet of space, Flower Mound Director of Development Services Lexin Murphy said. The default parking ratio within Furst Ranch is one parking space per 250 square feet, according to town documents. Based on the town’s typical parking standards, the H-E-B could have had 440 parking spots, but could have been as high as 528 spaces under the town’s allowable 20% deviation, Murphy said. A traffic impact analysis of other area stores’ parking usage, including ones in Alliance, Frisco and Plano, was conducted to help prove the need for the 733 spaces, said Jonathan Kerby, a going to depend on what supplies we need and there may be other funding sources for software, potentially.” What else? Bus service is provided for families that live 2 miles or more from their zoned campus, but bus service will be provided to families that live within a 2-mile radius due to hazardous routes in the path of students walking.

same level of care regardless of their income,” Peloquin said. The details Walmart offers automatic prescription refills for generic drugs in both 30- and 90-day dosages, but can also work with specialty pharmacies to fill more advanced prescriptions, Peloquin said. The company is also trying to place pharmacies within most stores in an effort to reduce barriers to health care and make it easier for individuals to access two basic needs in the same place. Walmart employs thousands of pharmacists, who dispense and advise patients on medications, and pharmacist technicians, which run cash registers and help with clerical work. “They’re not always going to go to the doctor, but they’re going to go to the grocery store,” she said. Drone delivery, which allows customers to get medications and groceries at the same time, and virtual care are also available, Peloquin said,

As health care becomes more expensive with Texas families on average paying more than $7,500 annually, Walmart is attempting to address the issue. A report by Texas 2036, a nonpartisan public policy organization, found that 41% of likely Texas voters, over half of which are mothers, skipped on health care because they did not know the final cost. In the same report, 39% of adults worried about their ability to cover the cost of health care. Flower Mound resident Shantay Peloquin, the regional director for Walmart Health and Wellness in North Texas, said the company strives to make health care more accessible and affordable. While insurance covers most treatments offered through Walmart Health and Wellness, Walmart is committed to price transparency, Peloquin added. Price transparency is one way to address increas- ing health care costs, per the Texas 2036 report. “We think that everybody should have the

For individuals 14 years old and older, travel immunizations are available without a prescription as of May.

Radiant Nutrition oers individualized nutrition counseling in Argyle Radiant Nutrition owner and founder Janna Weaver uses her own experience and knowledge to mentor individuals who want a healthier lifestyle. Weaver is a registered dietitian and nutritionist with advanced certications in adult and pediatric weight management through the Academy of Nutrition & Dietetics, according to her website. There are also four other registered dietitian nutritionists on the team who focus on clients age 40 and up, teens and children. “It’s been my dream [since college] to be able to sit with people in this setting and meet with them one-on-one,” Weaver said. “It really is a moment in time and an opportunity for them to really just get away from their day and come and sit and focus on their own health.”

when she was 12 years old due to being overweight because of trauma, hormone imbalance and Southern eating, she said. “Because I’ve lost over 100 pounds myself, I know what some of the challenges look like,” Weaver said. She founded Radiant Nutrition in late 2019, where she met with clients online. Since then, Weaver has grown her team and moved into her current oce space. “I’ve worked in corporate wellness, I did pediatrics, I was in a clinical setting,” Weaver said. “I just didn’t get to have these conversations and be a part of people’s journey like we do in private practice, so it’s pretty awesome.” Looking ahead Weaver dreams of someday opening more locations down the road to reach more individuals in need of support. She also wants to train the next generation of registered dietitian nutritionists so they have the tools, condence and experience to step into lead roles at new locations.

What they oer Radiant Nutrition oers one-on-one nutrition counseling both in person and online for adults, families, athletes and children. “Our goal is really to meet someone where they’re at and give them a realistic plan and walk with them and help keep them accountable,” Weaver said. Radiant Nutrition uses an InBody machine, which is a device that looks at body water, muscle mass, body fat, lean body mass, which is some- one’s weight excluding fat, and visceral fat, the fat around your organs, Weaver said. She uses this data along with labs and past medical history to create an individualized plan that aligns with the goals the client wants to achieve. “So we’re working on a goal that [the client] came in with, but I’m always thinking about the big picture of vitality, longevity, being at a healthy weight and condence,” Weaver said. “I want them to feel good about themselves.” The backstory Weaver started her own weight loss journey

Flower Mound officials are working to proactively expand emergency services as the town’s population continues to rise, Fire Chief Paul Henley said. “We’re really trying to get ahead of it, because ultimately, our biggest enemy is just time,” said Jerry Duffield, the department’s assistant chief of operations.

Duffield said the fire department utilizes firefighter-paramedics, which allows for 53 hours per week instead of 40 hours. “Think about not having to hire 45, or 26% more firefighters or paramedics, to meet the same mission,” Duffield said. Fire officials are also looking to fill around six vacant positions, which would leave the department with no vacancies. Officials plan to add future staff to meet projected growth.

Fire officials are also considering the creation of another battalion chief position. “I need [the battalion chief position] for span of control and really [the] response time later,” Henley said. He added that the department is also examining ways to more proactively order new equipment to meet expected demand, such as ordering equipment several years in advance of when it might be needed. Comparing the situation to proactively building roads to accommodate future traffic needs, fire officials said they hope the procurement strategy will secure engines and ambulances for the department before they are needed rather than catching up to future demands once the expected growth hits. “We’re always here for [residents], but what we want to do in this organization is be proactive versus reactive,” Henley said.

While fire officials plan for the future, Henley said the department strives to maintain its current excellence and sub-six-minute response times. All personnel are required to become licensed paramedics and complete 144 hours of continuing education every four years, EMS Chief Robert Adcock said. Each fire engine is also equipped with a defibrillator, allowing first responders to administer life-saving care upon arrival. “If the truck gets there first, or the engine gets there first and they’re waiting on a medic, they can still treat you with advanced life saving tech- niques,” Henley said. He added that the department’s personnel are able to provide rapid sequence intubations and other life support care, provided it is signed off by the medical director, Dr. Sean Fleming. “We can do things that the doctor is comfortable with us doing,” Henley said. “Some of those are higher levels than some nurses, or some [physi- cian’s assistants].”

A Green Refuge In Orange

Northwest of downtown, alongside Adams Bayou.

BY DANIEL VAUGHN

FOR FIFTY YEARS the gates of Shangri La Botanical Gardens and Nature Center were closed. A bitter freeze in 1958 killed much of founder H.J. Lutcher Stark’s plant- ings, including his prized azaleas. Decades later, reopening plans spearheaded by his namesake foundation were also thwarted by nature, first by Hurricane Rita, in 2005, and then by Ike, in 2008. Finally, in 2009, the 252-acre park opened once again to visitors. Gravel paths wander along- side some three hundred plant species, and everywhere are contemplative spaces that feel far removed from the surrounding city, which lies just across the Sabine River from Louisiana. At the placid Pond of the Blue Moon is the towering Cypress Gate, a platform designed by San Antonio–based architecture firm Lake Flato from logs salvaged after Rita. At Ruby Lake, you’ll find a bird blind for viewing the many varieties of waterfowl that come through, and you just might see an alligator sunning on the dock nearby.

About 51,000 bottlenose dol- phins—the most common spe- cies o the Texas coast—are frolicking in the northern Gulf as you read this. Occasionally, though, one of them ends up on land. The Texas Marine Mam- mal Stranding Network, based in Galveston, responds to an average of 134 strandings per year. Executive director Heidi Whitehead says that after hur- ricanes, she and her colleagues have even rescued dolphins from fields and ditches as far as seventeen miles inland. So before you head to the beach, learn what to do if you come across one.

Inside a Copper Mind Jonathan Beall makes modern kitchenware, barware, and water dispensers that last a lifetime.

BY AMANDA ALBEE

When Beall launched Sertodo Copper, in 1997, he traveled the U.S., cold-calling ho- tels and restaurants to sell Mexican-made copper cookware and chafing dishes. Three years later, he moved to Santa Clara del Cobre, Michoacán, a town with a coppersmithing tradition that predates its founding nearly five hundred years ago. There, he joined a copper community led by James Metcalf, the late sculptor and educator who reinvigorated local artisanal traditions. An apprentice- ship with copper maestro Máximo Velázquez Correa had Beall forging hundreds of nails and tools, including hammers and chisels, to cultivate a “manual intelligence” that he says is in decline among modern American creators, who sidestep material knowledge for computer-aided design.

IN HIS AUSTIN warehouse, Jonathan Beall sips water from one of his copper cups, an Ayurvedic practice said to stimulate diges- tion and increase immunity. He points to a hand-carved solid-copper vase made us- ing traditional techniques, such as melting recycled copper into ingots and repeatedly annealing and forging the mass into shape, a skill he learned in Mexico. It reminds him of a similar piece he encountered on a trip to Sayulita, on that country’s Pacific coast, almost thirty years ago—he can still see it glittering in the dawn light among a peddler’s wares. “I had never seen anything like it,” he says. “I didn’t know what was happening, but I had a big feeling.”

OUT THERE

Meanwhile, In Texas A man dressed in shorts and sneakers was seen cruising down the center lane of westbound Interstate 40 in Amarillo on an electric scooter . In a cave near Marfa, archaeologists discovered remnants of an atlatl, a straight-flying boomerang, and other components of whatmay be the oldest intact hunting kit found in North America. Almost four thousand Kerrville residents lost power for two hours after a ringtail came into contact with equipment at a substation. On National Beer Day, a train collided with the trailer of a semitruck near Saginaw, spilling hundreds of cans of beer around the tracks. Nearly three thousand people and 1,300 dogs descended on a ranch in Bee Cave for Texas’s largest annual golden retriever meetup . Hoping to steal a car, a man threw a rock through the window of a Tyler dealership, injured himself while entering through the broken glass, and called 911 for help getting out of the building, even though several doors were unlocked. Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson was bitten by an ostrich while visiting a wildlife park in North Texas. —Meher Yeda

When Lee, 98, emerges from a back room, glass of milk in hand, she is vibrant, smiling widely, and moving gingerly, but no one fusses over her. They all seem to know she moves at her own pace, on her own time. “Old people ain’t got nothing but time,” she tells me, set- tlingintoachairinanocethatisoverflowing with honors and ephemera: a signed basketball from the New York Knicks, photos with Pres- idents Joe Biden and Barack Obama, various awards from women’s groups and colleges and civil rights organizations. When I ask Lee how she’s feeling, she tells me she’s wearing a back brace, so she’s feeling good. Her back has been hurting, but it ain’t nothing special. Old people have aches and pains; most of them don’t even know why or where they came from. I want to know what keeps her going, and she smiles. “I feel like I’m everybody’s grandma.
