Twister touches Denton A tornado ripped through southwest Denton on Sunday, May 9, damaging homes and

cars and leveling trees, power lines and street signs. No injuries were reported, according to police officers in the field. Areas affected included U.S. Highway 377 and Crawford Road, Bent Creek Estates near Mosscreek Drive, and the 1200 block of McCormick and 1300 block of Oakwood streets. The high winds tore shingles from rooftops, toppled chimneys and sent trees crashing onto several homes and cars. The ground was so wet from days of rain that tree roots were easily pulled from the soil. A sign on the Studio 6 motel on Fort Worth Drive was blown over. Next door, the storm damaged the roof at Layalina’s Mediterranean restaurant and lounge. Denton’s tornado sirens began blaring at approximately 2 p.m. The National Weather Service in Fort Worth tweeted that spotters had reported a funnel cloud near U.S. 377 and Crawford Road that began moving northeast.

Denton resident takes care of 23 garden turtles Sara Neale McBee walks among her turtles gathered in her garden as if she understands their gestures. The 74-year-old Denton resident has about 23 of them. Big ones, small ones, some that are green, others that are coppery in color. They all have names or numbers such as Lucky and Mickey, Sunny and Tiger and No. 2 and No. 6. She keeps them in a turtle garden next to her front door. Most of them were hiding in the bushes until she walked outside with a cup of worms. Her daughter calls her “The Turtle Whisperer” because the turtles will answer her calls like little dogs whenever she whistles. But everyone else in the neighborhood knows her as the “Turtle Lady.” McBee doesn’t gather the turtles. She says they usually come of their own accord. She identifies each of them by the markings on their backs: Lucky, a four-leaf clover; Mickey, a fake tattoo of Mickey Mouse, and Sunny, a bright yellow sun.

She’s been painting a symbol, a letter or a number on their turtle shells since 2008 when her grandkids brought her a turtle they had found on the road. She painted “No. 10” on its back. It was her grandson’s baseball number. Her story garnered more than 76,000 views on Facebook.

Town Center set to break ground The sprawling, empty property on the south side of West University Drive just off Interstate 35 started construction in late May to make way for the Rayzor Ranch Town Center. RED Development officials confirmed several rumored tenants for the project, as well as others that were announced earlier. In addition to Cinemark Movie Bistro Dine-In, which was announced more than a year ago, the development will house WinCo Foods, Chili’s, Raising Cane’s and In-N-Out Burger. The first retail shopping building of the development will have Envy Nail Spa, Great Clips, sandwich shop Penn Station and Sleep Number mattresses. “This is the first of several phases, so we’re looking forward to getting the first one, which is always the hardest, out the door,”

said Scott Wagner, senior vice president of development at RED. The anticipated construction will be for the basic infrastructure necessary to build the development, such as roads and water lines. This phase will take three to four months, Wagner said, then the businesses are in charge of building their stores. In May 2014, the Denton City Council approved a new incentives package for the Town Center, which includes a public improvement district to allow the developer to borrow up to $40 million in publicly backed bonds for infrastructure. Town Center has been posed as the higher-end version of Rayzor Ranch Marketplace, which is across the street. Marketplace is still adding new stores, like Guitar Center, to join big-box stores such as Walmart and Academy Sports and Outdoors.

We’re Denton, Dammit The DRC’s gossip column caught a lot of eyes when it highlighted a photo of a Denton County Sheriff’s Office vehicle parked illegally on East Hickory Street. The car pulled into the space facing the sidewalk, instead of facing the street for the new

back-in parking. Technically, the driver of this official county SUV could ticket you if you parked like this.

County awaits federal disaster assistance Denton County has been declared a disaster at the county and the state levels because of recent severe weather. Texas was waiting to see whether President Barack Obama would sign a federal declaration for Denton and a host of other counties ravaged by rain, flooding and tornadoes in recent weeks. “The county has to issue the declaration, which we did May 10. We sent ours to the state, and the state compiles ours and all the others,” said Jody Gonzalez, Denton County’s emergency management coordinator. “They keep adding counties as they become devastated.” Gov. Greg Abbott declared disasters in Denton and at least 45 other counties. State officials estimate the amount of damage statewide and submit it to the White House, then the Obama administration will consider a federal disaster declaration. Gonzalez was confident some federal assistance would come.

Construction work for a new apartment building is seen June 9 at the Unicorn Lake development in Denton. Photo by David Minton

Unicorn Lake revamps for residents By Caitlyn Jones Unicorn Lake sounds like the stuff of childhood dreams, and it was for developers at the time of its inception in 2010. In their eyes, a magical land of restaurants, services and medical centers in southeastern Denton would bring growth to the city. But instead of lollipops and rainbows, officials saw closed signs and sinking sales taxes on the retail side. According to city data, sales tax revenue for the 130-acre mixeduse development has dwindled since 2012, falling from $177,490 that year to $169,180 in 2014. Sales tax for 2015 sits at $68,818 as of the most recent report. The falling numbers could be an effect of businesses shuffling in and out since the development opened. Now, with a luxury apartment complex and new establishments taking root, the land located off Interstate 35E and Wind River Lane is looking for rejuvenation.

“We’ve seen turnover in all parts of the city, especially with restaurants,” city economic development analyst Erica Sullivan said. “You can see a lot of that in downtown as well. It’s just the nature of the business.” Urban Square apartments opened at Unicorn Lake in September and have begun building new additions in the form of another 84-unit complex scheduled to be complete in August as well as a medical office. The Martino Group, the company handling the property, has leased all of Urban Square’s 121 completed units and leased 26 percent of the units in the unfinished complex. Nick Miller, property manager for The Martino Group, said he believes the residents are bringing new blood and revenue to the area. “My assumption is these businesses are seeing growth. They have to be,” he said. “There are 200 to 250 more people there within walking distance, so they should be seeing some kind

of increase.” New businesses have sprung up in the area to take advantage of the growing market, the latest being a new bar and grill called the Drunken Donkey. The former Pourhouse building has become the third location in the Donkey chain, following Lewisville and The Colony. The “gastropub” opened May 15 and serves handcrafted food and 147 craft beers on tap. Managing partner Brad Robinson said Unicorn Lake seemed like an obvious location due to a lack of bars on the southern end of town. “If I want to go to a bar and it’s 10:45 or 11, where am I going to go? I’ve got the Square and I’ve got Fry Street. The only thing that’s open around here past that is Buffalo Wild Wings,” he said. “In this area for the residents, there is nothing else open until 2 a.m. that opens at 11 [a.m.] every day that gives great food, sports and great drink variety.” Another chain expected to

emerge on the property is Bone Daddy’s, a barbecue restaurant with seven locations around the state. The Denton location will be situated between BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse and Chuy’s and is expected to open by the end of October. Director of construction Scott Brown said the rain delayed construction slightly because high water levels flooded the Bone Daddy’s space. The foundation has yet to be poured, but the company still expects to hit the projected opening date. Brown said the close proximity to the highway and the mixed demographics of the area made Unicorn Lake desirable. “Denton is a fast-growing city with a good mix of folks,” he said. “You’ve got white collar, blue collar and the schools here. The south side seemed to make sense because you can catch people going to and from work.” Some existing businesses have shown staying power. Despite having a location facing away

from passers-by, Sidewalk Cafe has managed to retain its operation for four years. “We’ve always had a steady team here, and an owner is always present,” owner Techy Salas said. “It’s been a lot of word of mouth advertising, but we connect with our customers.” Not everyone in the area has fared as well. Cafe Du Luxe, Cafe China and Los Toreros had to vacate because of low traffic and lack of sales. However, the area has retained quite a few medical offices with a prime location across I-35E from Denton Regional Medical Center. Sullivan said that although the concept for Unicorn Lake has changed over the years, the city is happy with its progress. “It was never meant to be a Rayzor Ranch,” she said. “It’s a little bit different than originally planned, but it has responded to the market.” CAITLYN JONES can be reached at 940-566-6845 and via Twitter at @Coj9211.

Digitally trumping eyewitness testimony J im Dwyer summed up the problems with memory beautifully when he wrote, “The real world of memory is made of bits of true facts, surrounded by holes that we spackle over with guesses and beliefs and crowded-sourced rumors.” Dwyer wrote those words in a report for The New York Times about the police shooting in May of David Baril in New York City. Like many recent police shootings, the shooting of Baril was captured on video, in this case a surveillance camera, so there is quite a bit of certainty about what occurred. Baril pulled a hammer out of his coat and began chasing a police officer with it. After recognizing what was happening, a second officer pulled his gun and charged at Baril from behind, shooting Baril before he could bring his hammer down on the first officer. For most, witnessing something like this happening is a once-in-a-lifetime experience — the kind of event people would expect to remember well. Because of the proliferation of video evidence (almost everyone with a smartphone is a potential source of video), we are learning that even memories of unique events can be grossly inaccurate.

Sam BURKE | One bystander who witnessed the Baril shooting reported that he heard a ruckus, some shouts and then saw a police officer chase a man into the street and shoot him down in the middle of the street. A second witness reported that she saw a man who was handcuffed being shot. Neither of these two witnesses knew Baril or had any apparent motive to lie about what they saw. What the Baril incident illustrates — that eyewitness testimony can be very unreliable — may be surprising to some, but it is no longer surprising to psychologists and scientists who study memory and eyewitness accounts. In 2015, the National Academy of Sciences released a report calling for an overhaul of how courts deal with eyewitness identification. The saying “justice

delayed is justice denied” may be especially true when cases are built on a witness’s recollection. When it comes to long-term recollections, most memory researchers believe modifications to memory are constantly being made, with gaps in narrative being filled with experiences and expectations. This gap filling can lead honest people to transform expectations into promises. For example, “I expected the plumber to stand behind his work” can become “the plumber told me he stood behind his work.” Fortunately for those who depend on evidence to right wrongs, the explosion of digital information in its many forms seems to be filling the void that is being created by our loss of confidence in eyewitness accounts and witness recollection. Unfortunately, however, our justice system has not fully developed cost-effective logistical tools for the retrieval and processing of all this information. But those tools are on the way and likely will continue to transform how and which evidence is presented in courtrooms across the country. For example, mobile data extraction devices exist that crack password-protected devices

and recover deleted data. The software used by these devices can render reports that show a timeline of the user’s interaction with the device such as text messages, phone calls and emails. In the Aaron Hernandez trial, police used cellphone information to place Hernandez at the scene of the crime, even though no eyewitness could do so. This evidence was so powerful that Hernandez’s lawyer was forced to admit in closing argument his client was at the scene of the murder. It is becoming more common for inspections of computers, smartphones and other mobile devices to be made at the start of litigation. Fertile grounds for investigation are social media postings such as those routinely made on Facebook and Twitter. Forbes recently reported on an example of the rise in the use of social media in litigation. The report in Forbes involved a worker whose Facebook posting became the subject of a discovery dispute and ultimately may decide the outcome of the case. Apparently, a man named Mr. Crowe claimed to have injured his knee at work. He sued his employer for the injury. Based on

a message sent to a friend on Facebook, Crowe’s employer believed the knee injury may have occurred outside of work. In an apparent attempt to avoid discovery of this message, Crowe deactivated his account and claimed he did not currently have a Facebook account. After the court became aware of Crowe’s verbal sleight of hand, Crowe was ordered to turn over all 4,000 pages of information that had accumulated on his Facebook account since it was created. After the court reviewed the Facebook information Crowe produced, his case took a turn for the worse — a turn it may not have taken before the use of social media became so common. We live in interesting times. We are learning that our recollections may not be as reliable as we once believed. At the same time, we are actively preserving more and more digital information about our everyday lives and the events around us. If current trends continue, court cases will be decided less and less by what witnesses say and more by the trail of digital information they create. SAMUEL B. BURKE is certified in civil trial law by the Texas Board of Legal Specialization and can be reached at sburke@dentonlaw.com.

Why we own an oil company “The quality of modern life owes almost everything to the existence of fossil fuels.” — Jeremy Grantham, GMO Capital founder

ast month we highlighted some of the key factors when considering an investment in the oil and gas arena. This month we intend to drill a bit deeper into why we own an independent oil company today. To frame the discussion, we ought to start with Jeremy Grantham, the author of the quote above and one of the few forecasters to whom we actually pay attention. As the founder of

Jonathon FITE | GMO Capital, a Boston-based money management firm, Grantham and his team probably are most famous for their seven-year asset class forecast. Every quarter, the group updates its seven-year projected returns forecast for a variety of

asset classes: U.S. stocks, foreign stocks, bonds, etc. But unlike most of the talking heads on CNBC, GMO bases its forecast on well-established valuation principles: If an asset class is expensive, then future returns are likely to be lower than if the asset class currently offers you a bargain price. Using this approach, GMO began warning in 1999 and 2007 that stocks looked “bubblicious” and that bargains had reemerged in 2009. Looking back, these seem like pretty good calls. Today, GMO says most asset classes are priced to disappoint: Most stocks are expensive — domestically and internationally,

and bonds are downright nuts — offering negative real returns to the long-term investor. The one asset class that does offer some value: “hard asset” commodities like timber and oil. Readers last month will recall our thesis that the severe decline in oil prices was unlikely to be sustained given the fundamental supply-demand drivers and the economic realities of marginal production costs and reserve replacement costs. We also described how important it is to own the low-cost producer at the bottom of price cycle, ideally buying at a large discount to its proved reserves. We described why reserve-base

Live Better Longer Lone Star 4x4 Merrill Lynch Financial Adviser Jeffery D. Price Like many people, you’ve worked hard over the years to build your wealth for a more secure future. But have you taken time to consider your health in retirement and the financial implications?

OC Burgers

Health care expenses are people’s top financial concern in retirement; however, less than one out of six pre-retirees (15%) has ever attempted to estimate how much money they might need for health care and long-term care in retirement.1 Beyond limiting what you can do, health conditions can be very costly. Preventive care can help on both counts, and the good news is it’s more affordable than ever. Medicare expanded its roster of free preventive services in 2010, eliminating co-payments and deductibles for many of them. Taking advantage of preventive services that are available at no charge under traditional Medicare and most Medicare Advantage plans can help you have a healthy and fulfilling retirement.

In your first year of enrollment, you’re entitled to a free “Welcome to Medicare” exam from your doctor, and you can get annual wellness visits in subsequent years. Use the initial exam to talk with your physician about your health, lifestyle, social support system and family medical history, and work with the doctor to develop a plan for the health screenings, immunizations and counseling you may need. The 2010 Affordable Care Act now covers many of those services. It’s important to incorporate reg-

ular exercise into your lifestyle. Numerous studies confirm the health benefits associated with it and many Medicare Advantage plans now cover fitness and yoga classes as a supplemental benefit – so long as your doctor prescribes them. Check with your plan about its rules. Medicare also now covers dozens of free screenings your physician can use to detect potential health problems. There are a number of tests available which you may want to speak with your doctor about such as screenings pertaining to blood pressure, high cholesterol, breast cancer and diabetes. Proper financial planning is also imperative. Not only can chronic health conditions such as diabetes, asthma and heart disease ruin plans for an active and rewarding retirement, such conditions can cut deeply into your retirement funds. Properly prepare for the healthcare costs you expect and those that are less predictable such as a need for long-term care. Incorporate healthcare costs into your retirement plan by addressing the following questions with a financial professional: 1. How can I incorporate future health care costs into my retirement strategy? 2. Do I need long-term-care insurance even if I’m taking care of my health? 3. How can I make sure that I won’t be a burden to my children as I age?

Rain impacts businesses

Flooding delayed construction of Bone Daddy’s House of Smoke at Unicorn Lake. Even dry weather June 9 had not seen the foundation poured.

By Jenna Duncan and Caitlyn Jones

Bursts of dry weather were few and far between in May, as North Texas saw one of the wettest months on record. The rain had major implications on businesses, and many are struggling to pick business back up in areas like construction and lawn care. Others, like laundromats, saw a surge in business. Some entities have seen growth as a result of the storms. Hardware stores ran sales on wet-dry vacuums and highpowered fans. “It’s been crazy,” Wash-ItKwik laundry attendant Chelsea

White said. “We had people all the way from Pilot Point and McKinney coming to wash clothes because their septic tanks are full and they can’t run water.” Meanwhile, construction crews are working to play catch-

up on dry days after not being able to work several days in May, and many others were only half days. For some projects, the impacts aren’t huge because foundations and walls are up, but

others were at a complete standstill. “It’s brought anything that didn’t already have the slabs poured to a complete halt,” said Lee Ramsey, co-owner of Links Construction. “It’s slowed down construction, and with safety concerns with it being as wet as it has been, we aren’t able to move at full speed. … It’s slowed things to a snail’s crawl.” To build up, concrete foundations have to be poured first. But to pour them, the ground has to be completely dry. When it got to that point anytime in May, rain was just a few hours away.

Bone Daddy’s House of Smoke construction, between Chuy’s and BJ’s Restaurant and Brewhouse at Unicorn Lake, has been delayed as a result of the downpour. “We were hoping to have foundation poured by now, but our site is completely flooded,” said Scott Brown, director of construction. Pending no other delays, Brown said the expected end date for construction is Oct. 6, and the restaurant should be fully operational by the end of that month. A little bit of work was able to

Crews were able to scrape topsoil and begin the work, but in early June equipment and machines stood on the lot. At this point, there won’t be any major delays to the project because officials budgeted for bad weather days in their construction timeline, Wagner said. “We always have weather days and delays accounted for in schedules, so we’re using them up and it’s accounted for,” he said. “We know it’s North Texas and to anticipate some weather delays.” Other projects are still on their way because the exteriors were already built, like Guitar Center at Rayzor Ranch Marketplace. Ramsey said it will be months before officials know the impact the weather had on project completion dates, depending on when they can get back to work. Lake-centric businesses have begun recovering after inflated lakes put water activities on hold. Although they didn’t close their doors during the storms, employees of Lakeview Marina in Lake Dallas sustained slight damage and flooded areas, owner Mike Drozd said.

Employees of Frenchy’s Lawn and Tree Service plant shrubs at a house on Maggie’s Meadow in Denton. “Our parking lots are still covered, so there’s minimal parking for customers,” he said. “A few boats got some scrapes and bruises during the storm, and some walkways were damaged.” Lewisville Lake opened to boaters June 5, but all boat ramps remained closed, according to the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers in Fort Worth. Lakeview continued to operate, connecting docks and using shuttle pontoons to get customers out to their boats.

Drozd said customers have been understanding throughout the process. “They rode out the storm and just saw it as an act of God,” he said. “We’ve tried to work as best as we can with them, and they’ve been as patient as they can be.” Businesses on shore also felt a blow from the rainy weather. Frenchy’s Lawn and Tree Service was out of commission while rain soaked the ground. “I’ve been doing this 40 years, RAIN | CONTINUED ON PAGE 12

Heavy rain — Large amounts of rain can turn construction sites into mud puddles, and Denton flooding turned some sites into lakes. This can lead to: ■ reduced visibility for motorists, who may not be able to see workers; ■ mud and debris deposits on roads that form a slick layer drivers can skid on; and ■ chemical spills that could be washed into water supplies. Lightning — Basic science tells us that metal construction equipment and lightning do not mix. If workers are present, one lighting strike can cause: ■ electrocution ■ fires ■ explosions. Strong winds — Let us not forget the Mother’s Day tornado that touched down in Denton and took out fences, roofs and a Studio 6 sign. For construction workers, this could mean: ■ large cranes and towers falling; ■ materials striking someone; and ■ limited vision and reduced hearing.

and I have a policy of not mowing on wet grass or soppy ground because I hate rot,” owner Andre “Frenchy” Rheault said. As the ground dries, crews are out again for extended hours trying to make up for the loss in business. “It’ll take awhile to catch up,”

Rheault said. “But we’re working seven days a week, sunrise to sunset, to make sure we do.” JENNA DUNCAN can be reached at 940-566-6889 and via Twitter at @JennaF Duncan. CAITLYN JONES can be reached at 940-566-6845 and via Twitter at @Coj9211.

we own our independent oil company today? We have a very simple thesis: The company is the low-cost producer in a region that benefits from structurally higher oil and gas prices. It is run by a strong owner-operator who acquired vast acreage in favorable jurisdictions with legacy oil fields. This industry veteran is applying modern techniques like hydraulic fracturing, horizontal drilling and enhanced recovery stimulations. While the U.S. shale revolution is well underway, and many investors there are late to the game, we are exploiting similar opportunities in a less competitive territory. But are we getting a good deal? Historically, oil stocks trade at a premium to their proved reserves, and mergers-and-acquisitions transactions often take place at premiums to their proved and probable reserves. While we do not want to bank on such valuations, our company trades at roughly 0.3 times the proved reserves, which is very compelling. Given the value of their proved and probable reserves, the current share price could provide 3 to 6 times the upside. That’s a bargain! But given the sell-off across the energy sector, perhaps other companies offer equal upside potential. How undervalued is this company compared with its peers? By creating a ratio of a company’s proved reserve value to its enterprise value (market capitalization plus debt minus excess cash), we can assess the true value of the reserves to a potential acquirer (private buyers have to assume both the debt and equity in a takeout). While some of the most loved peers trade at a proved-reservesto-enterprise-value ratio of 3.4 times, the peer average is 1.6 times. Our company trades around 0.4 times. If the company simply converged to the peer group average, we could see a 4-bagger. But the oil and gas price decks today are much lower than in 2014. Are the reserve values impaired? That might be true if costs

were flat or rising, but the management team is not standing still. Over the past few months, they have achieved dramatic savings in their lease operating expenses, local general and administrative costs, and drilling costs. The recent reserve values did use 2014 oil prices, but they also used higher 2014 costs. With recent cost reductions in place, and modest growth from new drilling efforts in 2015, we believe the “pro-forma” reserve value is fairly close to where it stood at year-end, even with today’s lower pricing environment. This company has been able to achieve reserve growth while delivering on cost efficiencies. They have good assets, yes. And they have a good management team. But we find that another factor often is a precursor to such success: insider alignment. While many CEOs in the small-cap energy space collect millions in compensation each year, this CEO collects zero salary. His compensation is based purely on his shareholdings. As a partnership based on pure payfor-performance, we love this approach! The CEO made his fortune years ago selling another energy company he built into one of the largest privately held oil and gas companies in the United States, earning him a spot on Forbes’ list of billionaires. The CEO brings that record of exceptional value creation to his new company, maintaining 36 percent ownership of the company’s shares. Given the recent sell-off, the CEO recognizes the same bargain we see and announced a repurchase program to mop up the undervalued shares. This is great capital allocation discipline that complements operational excellence. We are monitoring a number of catalysts for 2015, including execution of new joint ventures, implementation of the share repurchase program, progression of drilling programs to bolster reserves growth, and continued stabilization in oil prices. The timing of these events is unknown, but we believe each will create tremendous value for our partnership over time. JONATHON FITE is a managing partner of KMF
