THE WOODLANDS, TX - The latest additions to the impressive amenities residents can enjoy in The Woodlands Hills Sue Luces Daisy Park and Rick and Roz Dauzat Peace Park have recently opened, The Howard Hughes Corporation (NYSE: HHC) has announced. The Woodlands Hills is one of Houstons newest master planned communities in Conroe and Willis, located 13 miles north of The Woodlands.

We are excited to announce the addition of two parks, Daisy Park and Peace Park, in The Woodlands Hills, said Heath Melton, Executive Vice President of MPC, Residential for The Howard Hughes Corporation. Each park is surrounded by nature, creating the perfect ambiance for health, fitness and wellness activities for residents to enjoy. These nature-encompassing parks offer pedestrian connectivity within the community as each one is accessible just a short distance from homes.

Sue Luces Daisy Park, a one-acre neighborhood park nestled in the trees and accented by daisies, serves as the social and recreational focal point for nearby neighborhoods in the Grove village of The Woodlands Hills. Thiswhimsical activity park utilizes nature as the playground for younger and older children, featuring a giant spider climber, stepping logs and a hill that youth can climb up and roll down. Its playground, aptly called Branch Out, creates a tree fort within the park. It also features ADA- compliant swings. A pavilion provides a nice respite from the sun and serves as an area for gatherings with family and friends. To take in a little more nature, a natural trail bisects the park highlighting the native flora and fauna. A giant 24-foot native white oak tree is a highlight of Daisy Park.

We are committed to nature and are proud of our masterfully-designed forested recreational amenities. The trees removed for this park project were reused within Daisy Park as park benches, play equipment and path pavers, stated Melton.

Sue Luces Daisy Park is named in memory of the late Sue Luce, who was a successful Realtor and pillar of Montgomery County. Her daughter, Nelda Luce Blair, won the naming rights in a charitable donation bid that benefited the Montgomery County Community Foundation. The auction item was donated by The Howard Hughes Corporation.

Rick and Roz Dauzat Peace Park features a 1.8-mile meandering pathway that winds along an intermittent creek bed, a tributary of Stewarts Creek, accessible through three pedestrian boardwalks for leisurely walks. The forested park offers playful exploration with boulders and logs to scale and several nature trails. Connected by nature to two patio home neighborhoods in the Ridge village of The Woodlands Hills, Peace Park features shaded sitting areas for relaxation and reflection, away from the hustle and bustle of life.

Officially named Rick and Roz Dauzat Peace Park, with the naming rights donated for a charitable auction to Montgomery County Community Foundation from The Howard Hughes Corporation, the 2.5-acre park is designed with a passive, tranquil landscape for serene enjoyment. Native plants and wild birds indigenous to the area can be observed from the park.

We all love the Heath, for its wildlife, its scenery and its peace; but equally magical, and more mysterious, is the Heath of which most visitors are unaware: the unknown Heath beneath our feet.

However the evidence shows that the Heath was occupied long ago and is the remnant of a vast historic landscape, most of which was destroyed by Londons expansion.

My own historical walks for the Heath and Hampstead Society aim to show things visitors have walked past a thousand times without even noticing, but which are fascinating clues of the Heaths past.

The Heath has been used for many things in recent centuries; but three hundred years ago it provided Londons Water supply, it had mediaeval mills (Millfield Lane, once an important mediaeval road) and farms like Shirewic, near Athlone House. A farm is recorded in Domesday Book at Hamstede, and the land was given by the Norman Kings to Westminster Abbey; its boundaries are described in Anglo-Saxon charters; and there is evidence of occupation during the Bronze (2,500-800 BC) and Mesolithic (8,000-6,000 BC) ages.

Excavations on the West Heath by the Hendon Archaeological Society in 1976-81 found a nationally important Mesolithic site, with traces of huts and thousands of flints, while analysis of the peats in the nearby West Heath Bog yielded pollen and plant remains showing how very different the area was then.

From the Bronze Age is the famous Tumulus, once called Boadiceas Tomb (without a shred of evidence!). An excavation was carried out here in the 1880s, but with the crude techniques of the time, nothing was found. It is now a Scheduled Ancient Monument.

But Bronze Age Burial mounds dont come in isolation. There could have been others, now lost, and its presence, together with the exciting find of a Late Bronze Age feature on Parliament Hill in 2017, suggests that the two sites sat in a Bronze Age landscape, yet to be explored. No signs of Roman occupation have yet been found.

The Heaths magnificent ancient oaks are well known; but on a map it can be seen that they form hedgerows (some of them becoming swamped by secondary woodland growth after the Second World War). These mark the boundaries of ancient fields, from the days when most of the Heath was Middlesex farmland, and have large ditches. Some are thought to be at least 500 years old, and the most remarkable, the so-called Saxon Ditch so-called because it follows the line mentioned in the Saxon charters - follows the west boundary of the mediaeval Tottenhall Manor and can be traced from the southern end of the Heath right to the eastern edge of the Kenwood Estate. But, if it is at least Saxon (8th-10th century?), it may well mark farm or estate boundaries established in the Roman, Iron or even Bronze Ages. Our knowledge of the Heaths archaeology is still minimal, because current academic thought frowns on excavating sites not threatened by development. However, a thoughtful programme of exploring the Heaths archaeology would make a big contribution to our knowledge of the archaeologically underexplored north-west London.

The Ponds and their dams, which were recently a subject of intense debate, are of archaeological importance too. They were created in the late 16th and early 17th centuries to provide a water supply for London. A small excavation in 2009, and more extensive excavations during the Ponds project, found clay pipes, pottery and a hearth which could have been used by the Ponds work gangs, as well as stray flints.

There is so much more than can be covered here. Ken Wood is mediaeval in origin, Hampstead Lane is mediaeval or earlier its original route, some 75 metres south of the present road, can still be traced by lines of trees and old boundary markers). The Flagstaff is thought to be the site of an Armada Beacon and the area near Whitestone Pond known as The Battery marks the site of a fort on a Napoleonic War defence line. What was the White Stone after which the Pond was named?

Enjoy spotting these features and trying to imagine what they were. But if you find anything, particularly struck flints, please let us know, to help us build up our knowledge of the Heaths mysterious history. And never relic-hunt on the Heath; its illegal, and will destroy the very history it unearths.

A lone tree stands on a low rise, silhouetted by the setting sun. The scene recalls the traditions of American landscape painting the golden glows and manifest destinies of figures like Thomas Cole, Frederic Edwin Church and George Caleb Bingham.

But this hill is surrounded by cranes and debris, this sun a mere reflection in the glass faade of a boxy corporate high-rise. The ground here is shattered. Decaying ruins are left half-standing, contemporary structure only half-completed.

In Nickels from Heaven, his new exhibition for the Contemporary Art Museum St. Louis, artist Tim Portlock explores both the iconography of the American landscape and the reality of life in the post-industrial American city.

Researching empty buildings is an entry point into understanding some of the dynamics that are going on in that place, said Portlock, professor of art and chair of undergraduate art at the Sam Fox School of Design & Visual Arts at Washington University in St. Louis. Even when the economy is booming, we tend to leave out the stories of people who cant necessarily participate in that exchange.

In this video, Portlock discusses his work, his use of visual effects and 3D animation software, and what architecture reveals about the social order.

Nickels from Heaven

Nickels from Heaven is one of three exhibitions organized as part of the Contemporary Art Museums Great Rivers Biennial 2020. Also on view are new work by Sam Fox School alumni Kahlil Robert Irving (MFA 17) and Rachel Youn (BFA 17).

In addition, the museum is currently hosting when the cuts eruptthe garden ringsand the warning is a wailing, a new exhibition by Ebony G. Patterson(MFA 06).

All exhibitions are free and open to the public and remain on view through Feb. 21. The museum is located at 3750 Washington Blvd. For hours or more information, visit camstl.org.

The City of Boston kicked off a community process for renovations to Mission Hill Playground with a virtual public meeting on November 5.

The Gazette spoke with Parks Commissioner Ryan Woods about the citys thoughts for the improvements, as well as what will come next.

The Mission Hill Playground, located at 60 Smith Street, currently features a playground, a water spray area, a mini basketball court, swings, a seating area along shaded pathways, and a turf field for various sports. The consultant for the improvements project is Kyle Zick Landscape Architects.

Woods said that is has been at least 15 years since updates have been made to the playground, and the goal of the Parks Department is to have a park that is well programmed and well-utilized.

The budget for the new improvements is about $2.6 million, but Woods said that the Parks Department also received a $400,000 Parkland Acquisitions and Renovations for Communities grant last week, which is the maximum award amount for one project, according to the state. Thats really going to help us finish off the baseball field, Woods said, which would have otherwise not had enough funding to complete.

He said that the Mission Hill Playground is in a very interesting location due to its three tiers on a slope, so he said the Parks Department is exited to be engaging with the community on what they want to see done.

He said that 18 people attended the virtual community meeting to talk about what they think works in the park and what they think might need improvement.

He said the middle tier on Tremont St. is a large focus of the project, with the potential relocation of the spray feature. He said that at the meeting, discussion topics included things like whether the basketball area should be retained, and people were also asked what features of the playground they liked best.

Right now, the water feature sprays out from up above, but the project team wants to know if people would like to see a different water feature instead. Woods said that feedback so far has indicated that people are very interested in having some sort of water feature in the park.

We want to make amenities in the park and have people feel welcomed in the park, Woods said. Mayor Walsh is a firm believer that having more positive activity in the park pushes away that negative behavior.

Other people shared that they use the park as a cut through, so people would like to see the pathways renovated so the park can better connect to the community at large.

There were also some concerns with kids climbing the retaining walls and parents are worried about their safety. Woods said that people asked us to look at the wallshow can they be engaging and safe spaces instead of kids climbing on these walls?

The park is heavily used by camps and school groups during non-COVID times, as well as the library and the Tobin Community Center, Woods said.

Right now, the project is still beginning, and there is plenty of time for people to give feedback. The playground survey, as well as more information about the park, can be found at https://www.boston.gov/departments/parks-and-recreation/improvements-mission-hill-playground.

More community meetings will be held in the future that will tell the scope and the lay of the land for the project, Woods said, as well as introduce some conceptual ideas to the public for feedback, and then eventually a final design will be agreed upon.

I just think that were very excited about this $3 million investment going in the middle of Mission Hill to bring a high quality park and playground to the residents of Mission Hill, Woods said, and that it is a safe and inviting place that everybody wants to go to.

You can actually feel the generosity and love that infuse her art and life. Terrie Peets paints with fabric, and her quilts are created as gifts to give to the people who are special to her. Everything she does is rooted in the strength of her family.

It took her a year to complete A Walk Around Markleeville, the quilt she made in honor of her husband Dave. She stitched together the memories she has of strolling with him around Laramie Loop, the favored daily walking route of many who live right downtown.

First Terrie took photos and observed, piecing a vision together in her mind. She discovered the fabric most difficult to find was what she needed for the two buildings designed by famous architect Frederic DeLongchamps. She ended up ordering the cloth from England and used an interlaced raw edge technique that is particularly difficult.

All the effort involved in making one of her quilts lets Terrie enter into what she calls her calming, happy place. Her focused concentration lets the world go away. She finds herself surrounded by the same feelings she had when she was taught to sew by her mother and grandmother.

Growing up in Petaluma and Santa Rosa, she was up at dawn, back at dusk, falling in love with the beauty of the natural world at an early age. Her father and mother took Terrie, her brother, and sister camping, fishing, and hiking in the wilds of the Sierra Nevada Mountain Range, including Alpine County. Terrie never imagined that one day she would live in this remote location.

Like her grandmother, Terrie has a meticulous temperament and is very organized. They took a quilting class together when Terrie was in the eighth grade. It was that quality time that has inspired a lifetime of fabric artistry.

Her first big project was a quilt made out of the scraps from all the clothes she had made for herself in high school. It evokes an era, and she still uses it to this day.

Terrie graduated from California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo, Calif., with a degree in Business Administration and a concentration in marketing. This allowed her to take a core of classes in graphic design and art.

Moving home to Santa Rosa, she found her perfect job with the Press Democrat newspaper. Terrie found she couldnt wait to get to work, and became the second head artist.

It was when she moved back to San Luis Obispo that she fell in love forever. Dave Peets was an appraiser working out in the field, and Terrie had accepted a position as Administrative Assistant in the Assessors Office. Although the office employed over 85 people, they still managed to find each other, and have been married for 31 years now.

When an ad came across Terries desk for an Assessor position in Markleeville, Terrie told Dave it would be like living in a ski vacation. The couple decided to make the big life change. Dave was appointed and then elected to six terms as Assessor, and they brought up their daughter Dena and son Justin here.

Choosing a job as Administrative Assistant to the Superintendent at Alpine County Unified School District, she advanced to Human Resources and Administrative Services Coordinator. Terrie also designed every graphic and poster that came across her desk. The family found the most perfect house up on a hill, and settled into happy and productive lives.

She started quilting again when she was pregnant with her son. Terrie feels it is important to have a passion and to act on it. Over the years, she has taken many classes, studying different ways of doing things and opening up her mind to new and creative ways to look at interpreting the world through her art.

Many quilt groups will do challenge quilts. Each member is given two pieces of fabric that have to be put into the finished composition. Inspired by a 100 year old National Parks poster, Terrie created Wildlife; Stars Above the Sierras. This quilt earned her the National Association of Certified Quilt Judges Award of Merit. She had moved outside her comfort zone and began making landscape (or artistic) quilts in earnest. She started painting with fabric, making her own patterns and designs.

Since she retired six years ago (after 26 years at ACUSD), she has become very prolific. When daughter Dena, along with her husband and three daughters, lost their home in the Santa Rosa fire, Terrie was able to recreate the 60 year old Swedish crewel-embroidered advent calendar and the hand-stitched Christmas stockings that were so precious to their ancestors. Tradition is a cornerstone of the family ethos.

Terrie is currently Vice President of the Carson Valley Quilt Guild, a local organization with over 150 members. She is co-chair of the National Speaker presentations and classes that they host. She is also a member of a small Fabric Art Group. Since this is limited to a maximum of seven people, it is only when someone moves away that a new member is invited.

Her second entry into the Pacific International Quilt Festival in Santa Clara has been accepted. Always willing to try new subject matter, it is a piece with a lyrical image of an Anime character that she made for her son Justin. Many other entries have earned her ribbons in the Carson Valley biennial Quilt Show.

This is a beautiful place to raise children, Terrie says of her mountain community They can play outside and be safe. She doesnt mind that everyone knows your business, We all help each other if we need it, and you know when there is a stranger in your midst.

The seasons in the Sierras are inspiring to her, as are the bear, deer, and wild turkeys that surround her. But Terrie is equally at home in the city, finding new ways of seeing in art museums and larger cultural events she so enjoys.

Everything about Terrie Peets and her life have made her ideally suited for working in this unusual medium. She is naturally detail-oriented, patient, skillful, and has a deep connection with the people and places around her.

On the Market: Fairfield home offers mix of privacy and community

FAIRFIELD The coronavirus pandemic has brought heartache, as well as a challenge for working and distance learning at home. But, as with all difficult situations, there is a silver lining.

The forced lock-down in the spring, and the continuing need to socially distance has brought many families and neighbors closer together and has given people an appreciation for a simpler way of life: shared meals, game nights, long walks together and bike riding on the quiet street.

The residents of the green colonial house at 261 Hemlock Hills Road South in Fairfields Greenfield Hill neighborhood never really lost sight of that simpler, congenial time. This part of town and this particular property offers privacy yet within a true neighborhood, according to the owners.

There is a real sense of community in this neighborhood. Its very family-oriented. There is an email chain that includes over 50 families to share information and happenings. Theres an annual chili cook-off, pizza parties, Hemlock Harvesters gardening club, book clubs, Christmas cookie swaps, wreath-making, occasional adult-only cocktail parties and family get-togethers. We have made many friends in this neighborhood as have our kids, according to one of the owners.

Those events may be on hold temporarily, but when the world is ready to safely get together again this house and its 3.44-acre property invite small, intimate gatherings as well as large-scale parties. This center hall colonial, which was built in 1979, boasts more than 4,700 square feet, of living space and entertaining space.

The grounds are much the same as the home itself. Privacy and beauty abound and surround the perimeter in a canopy of green. Stone walls outline the landscape and oaks meet pines in a breathtakingly beautiful park-like setting. The rear deck is a great location for entertaining or just enjoying the quiet nature that surrounds you, the co-listing agents said.

The owner added that the backyard is amazing. The children have spent many hours wandering and exploring the surrounding wooded areas. I love gardening so Ive enjoyed taking care of the many different plants and flowers, and recently my husband built me a vegetable garden.

Less than a mile from this house is the Connecticut Audubon Center and its Roy and Margot Larsen Wildlife Sanctuary, just about a five-minute walk away. The seven miles of trails provide opportunities for hiking, snowshoeing, cross country skiing, and birdwatching. There is even a wheelchair-accessible trail. Also close by is Burr Elementary School, just a mile and a half away.

We are not far from stores and supermarkets so it is a convenient location as well, one owner said. It is truly a beautiful peaceful place to live.

The current owners have renovated the house. They replaced the basement floors, pulled up the carpet in the family room and refinished those wood floors. We have refreshed and painted almost every room in the house. Because we love to work in the yard, we have done a ton of landscaping, the owner said.

Inside, the formal living room has a marble fireplace, while the family room features a floor-to-ceiling stone fireplace as well as a wet bar and French doors to the deck. The formal dining room has a large bay window and wainscoting on the lower walls.

Release your inner chef in the spacious eat-in kitchen, according to the co-listing agents.

During the pandemic we have eaten so many different styles and genres of food, the owner said. It features granite counters, two pantries, a breakfast bar, and sliding doors to the deck. Also on the main level there is an office/bedroom and a second powder room. The first is off the kitchen.

More than 1,000 acres of farmland are being given back to nature at Wild Ken Hill, between Snettisham and Heacham.

And the rare-breed beasts now roaming the rewilding project have been introduced for their mixture of grazing, browsing and soil disturbance aiming to replicate the natural land-management behaviour of the wild herbivores that wandered through this landscape many thousands of years ago.

The hardy Exmoors will be well suited to a life in the wild. The estate says Exmoor ponies that have not been handled are usually difficult to get close to, and will typically run off when walkers or dogs get close, rather than confronting them.

Similarly the Red Polls, derived from the original cattle of Norfolk and Suffolk, can thrive on coarse vegetation and were also selected for their small stature and calm nature. The 30-strong herd is made up of cows, calves and heifers, and there are currently no bulls.

The cattle and ponies, along with the estates wild deer population, will graze and browse off vegetation in the hope it will help to create the healthy woodland pasture environment that is associated with high biodiversity. Their dung also helps to cycle nutrients, and they carry seeds around in their fur which helps vegetation to spread.

The Tamworths have a different role to the Red Poll and Exmoors they disturb the soil, almost ploughing the top layer as they rootle in search of food. It is estimated that a mature Tamworth sow can disturb around 50 acres of topsoil in a year.

This behaviour helps vegetation to regenerate, and could help to restore overgrown acid heathland.

Project manager Dominic Buscall said: We are delighted to now have Red Poll cattle, Exmoor ponies, and Tamworth pigs all on site at Wild Ken Hill. Each of these species will enhance the variety of habitats here as part of our conservation, rewilding and sustainable farming work where we seek to be a national leader.

The herds will not only help graze down vegetation, but also assist with seed dispersal, nutrient cycling, soil disturbance, and a variety of important natural processes.
