Kilgore will provide Internet
access.
Kilgore pledges this service
for her students and their par-
ents: socialization, a place to
learn and play musical instru-
ments, a place to learn and
experience art and steady sup-
port for achievements.
“Homeschooling is not
always practical for two-
income families, which is what
most of us are these days,”
Kilgore said. “You have to
learn to think out of the box. If
the technology is there, you
have to use it.
“This is for parents who just
can’Lsit at home with their kids
all day.”
lap harp, keyboards and voice
lessons. Once she expands to
Cedar Hill and Duncanville,
she plans to add flute, clarinet
and brass lessons.
“The harp has always
appealed to me because of my
love for Celtic heritage,” she
said. “There are quite a few
harp teachers in the Metroplex,
but no place to buy harps.
Celtic music is all the rage
now.”
Kilgore, who has several
music degrees, including a
master’s of music education
from the University of North
Texas, remembers teaching
orchestra in the Dallas School
District. , ?>
Klfgbre’s schools will be ’w*‘Back then’.’They were
located in local churches, but
there is no denominational
component to their education,
she said, although the Bible is
perfectly acceptable reading
material.
Kilgore plans to teach the
always dumping kids in our
classroom, not because they
wanted to learn about orches-
tra, but because they had no
other place to put them,” she
said. “It was their version of
crowd control.”
Her fine-arts programs are
particularly suitable for stu-
dents from rural areas or big-
city school districts, where
such programs are either not
available or always the first
things to get cut whenever it’s
time to trim the budget, she
said.
In addition, students can
learn foreign languages
through the Rosetta Stone pro-
gram for $69 a year and can
take courses in Toastmasters to
nurture debate skills.
Enrollment fees of $500 a
month are made through the
New American School and
include an academic evaluation
for possible course paths,
Kilgore said.

“I told our guys today, ‘We want you looking
for them when you go out on calls,’” he said. ‘“If
you see a need for one, put one in and I’ll figure
out a way to buy more.’”
Smoke detectors are inexpensive devices resi-
“Smoke detectors really are a great tool and
they do a fantastic job keeping people safe,”
Pollock said. “They might not save your house,
but they very well might save your life, which is
the important thing.”

“Tire debris was probably
the most offensive thing we
found because it’s so hard to
dispose of,” Martin said.
Areas near Cedar Hill
Industrial . Park really im-
pressed the group, Martin said.
The group tries to use the
same volunteers each year
because they tend to know what
to look for, Borth said.
Borth, city code enforce-
ment officer Stacey Graves and
KCHB member Kathy Draxler
organize the volunteers, Martin
said.
“Overall we were very, very
pleased,” Borth said. “We
broke each of the nine sectors
into subsections, which is
something we didn’t do last
year, and that helped the overall
score.
“But most areas were
improved over last year.”
The volunteers largely con-
sist of people who serve on
other city or neighborhood
boards, Borth said, and they
include Lois Cannady, Norman
Patten, Otha Atherton, Patty
Palmer and George Boles.
“These are people who
belong to groups that are really
concerned about the cleanli-
ness of our city,” Borth said.
