COURTESY OMGELATO

FEATURED IMPACT NOWOPEN OMGelato opened Oct. 10 at 3829 W. Spring Creek Parkway, Ste. 103, Plano. The business uses liquid nitrogen to create made-to-order, customizable gelato, said Reza Tabrizi, who runs the shop with his father, Mehrdad Tabrizi. “We don’t have any gelato ready—we make it as the customer orders it,” Reza said. “This allows us to add many avors to the gelato.” Gelato is an Italian dessert similar to ice cream, but it has less fat content and is made with less air, resulting in stronger avors, Reza said. Customers have the option of combining more than 60 base avors with 50 mix-ins, syrups and toppings, such as candies, nuts and fruits. “Choosing between these would allow you to make more avors than you can count,” Reza said. The Tabrizis emigrated to the United States four years ago. In Iran, Mehrdad

After discovering similarly made gelato back home, the pair decided to create their own recipe. “It took a lot of tries and a lot of work to create the good gelato we have right now,” Reza said. “We have been working on this for the past two years.” The business also oers sorbets, milkshakes and coee.

Construction gets underway on $15million re training center The center will include several buildings where reghters can practice responding to real- life scenarios. (Rendering courtesy Plano Fire Department)

“We’ve tried to think of everything you can think of that would be a real-world scenario,” he said “It will be unlike any other re training center you’ve ever seen.” The need for the facility was precipitated not only by Plano’s growing population but also by evolving types of occupancies, Greif said. Sta formerly used the training center at Collin College in McKinney, but that option is no longer viable due to the time it takes reghters to get back to home base. “There is a reason why almost every city has its own re training center,” he said. “It would be great if you could share [this resource], but the reality is no one wants to be that far from their home and have that much diculty getting back.” An at-home training center will also make it easier for the depart- ment to maintain its Level 1 rating from the Insurance Services Oce, which determines property insur- ance costs, Greif said. Response times for emergencies are also expected to improve since sta will remain inside city limits rather than traveling to McKinney for training, he added. Above all, Greif said the training facility, which is expected to be up and running within 12 to 14 months, will equip reghters to handle any curve ball thrown their way. “You don’t want us pulling out a book when we get there trying to gure out what it is we are supposed to be doing or how we are going to aect that rescue,” he said. “We need to have that literally as muscle memory.”

The city of Plano broke ground on its new, state-of-the-art re training center Oct. 9. The $15 million center will be located at the northwest corner of McDermott and Robinson roads immediately south of the recently completed police department substation. Fireghters will use the facilities to practice responding to real-life scenarios, such as structure res, hazmat emergencies and rescue missions. “We have found ourselves doing things I never would have dreamed reghters would be doing when I got into this service back in the ’80s,” Plano Fire Department Chief Sam Greif told the Plano West Rotary Group at an Oct. 6 meeting. “These things happen, and we have to be prepared for them when they do.” Each level of a six-story tower will represent a dierent environment, such as a residential high-rise apartment, a corporate oce and a professional-grade kitchen, Greif said. Propane-powered res will be accompanied by articial smoke, he added. “It dissipates as soon as it hits the atmosphere, but when the windows are closed it gives us the occluded vision we need to simulate what we are going to be facing in a real-world situation,” he said. The tower will also house a base- ment and an elevator so reghters can train for extractions, he added. The model home built on the prop- erty will include dierent roof angles and internal oor plans that pose various challenges, Greif said.

with nearly two-thirds of students returning to classrooms. Skaggs will have the lowest amount, at 26%. At the middle school level, Haggard will have the most students returning, with 66% of students choosing this method. At the other end of the spectrum is Rice, with 28% of students returning. Vines leads high school campuses, with 60% of students opting for in-person school. Jasper High School, with only 27% of students returning to classrooms, will now have the fewest in-person students. At the senior high level, Plano Senior has the highest percentage, and Plano East has the lowest.

Some parents who kept their students at home for the rst nine weeks of school are now choosing to send their children back to campuses, according to new PISD data. Families were given the option to change their child’s learning method at the end of September, per Texas Education Agency requirements. Just over half of students will now attend school in person, which is 4% higher than the rst nine weeks of the semester. The remaining 49% have chosen to attend virtually, according to the data. Barron and Hughston elementary schools will have the highest levels of face-to-face instruction at elementary campuses, both

PLANO As decisions loom for Dallas Area Rapid Transit’s bus network redesign, some staff and board members are calling for a two-thirds vote to decide on an approach. The transit agency’s board is set to vote on the balance between ridership and coverage across DART’s entire 13-city bus network. Cities with a desire for higher-fre- quency service would be less affected by a focus on ridership, Board Chair Paul Wageman said during an Oct. 6 committee meeting, adding that rep- resentatives from those cities hold the simple majority on the board. More suburban areas like Plano would be more adversely affected by a smaller percentage of coverage, he said. The board is expected to vote on the ratio at its Oct. 20 meeting.

PLANO Parking and pedestrian traffic will be limited in some areas of Arbor Hills Nature Preserve in Plano until spring 2021. Construction of a new restroom close to the existing bathrooms was expected to begin the week of Oct. 5. Once completed next spring, it will replace the existing restrooms, which will then be converted into a family restroom. During construction, some nearby parking will be limited, and the turnaround and drop-off point will be closed. The existing restroom, playground and pavilion will remain open. Another project, aimed at con- trolling and stabilizing areas with erosion or deterioration, began at

However, the county is still support- ing Plano residents and businesses through its small-business grant and housing and food assistance programs, Israelson said. “If there are other expenses that come up for COVID, we would respond to those as we would respond in any other situation with city funds to make sure that we are providing appropriate actions and responses,” Israelson said.

Decision on backyard chickens inPlano delayed until next year

MORE HARMTHAN GOOD? Neighboring cities Frisco, Richard- son, Carrollton, Allen and Murphy allow hens in non-agricultural spaces with a range of regulations and fees. Council members agreed to delay any decision until next year, largely due to the budgetary impact of the pandemic.

keeping of chickens from Plano residents, which would place any at-large animals in the city’s hands, according to Cantrell. Other options that surfaced during a June council discussion, such as using the specific permit process or getting neighbor approval to decide who can house hens on smaller properties, were not recommended by city staff. With approval from the city to house hens, the number of captured chickens and owner surrenders would likely go up, Cantrell said. Not responding to citizen complaints or refusing surrendered chickens could lead to feral chicken flocks or property damage, he said. Instead, staff recommended leaving the livestock ordinance as is for the time being, which allows for livestock on land that is 1.95 acres or more and zoned for agriculture or estate development.

PLANO A decision on whether owning backyard chickens will be allowed in Plano has been delayed until next budget season, June 2021. The push to delay any further action on an ordinance for hens on non-agricultural land stems from a staff funding request to hire an additional animal services officer and to purchase a city holding coop if backyard chickens were given the green light. Staff is already strained in the animal services department, Director Jamey Cantrell said during a Sept. 28 council meeting, and chicken captures take much more work than do those of typical domesticated animals. This is due to chickens’ ability to fly and their unresponsiveness to human calls, he said. Collin County has also said that it cannot help with the capture or
