TWU negotiates with hotel for more housing Texas Woman’s University continues to seek new ways to satisfy an increasing demand for on-campus housing by negotiating with a Denton hotel to house students for a semester. No agreements have been reached, but it is an option TWU is looking into, said Richard Nicholas, vice president for student life. The name of the hotel can’t be released because it is not under contract. The university outgrew its existing facilities last year, even after leasing three apartment complexes — Bent Tree Apartments at 1000 N. Bell Ave., Lone Star Apartments at 600 Texas St. and Austin Place Apartments at 1005 N. Austin St. — from Scott Brown Properties. Officials anticipate the need for even more student housing this fall as freshman enrollment grows, Nicholas told the Board of Regents during its meeting Friday at the TWU T. Boone Pickens Institute of Health Science in Dallas.

Plant plans to begin renovations Renovations to a former pharmaceutical plant will begin as Mayday Manufacturing Inc. prepares to relocate to 3100 Jim Christal Road in Denton. In April, the aerospace parts company announced the purchase of the 80,000-square-foot building. “We are doing a lot of remodeling to turn it from a warehouse to our use as a manufacturing facility,” said Randy Kempf, CEO of Mayday Holdings LLC, which includes Mayday Manufacturing and its sister company, Hi-Tech Metal Finish. The remodeling will include new plating lines and waste treatment facilities for Hi-Tech. The building once housed Molecular Insight Pharmaceuticals Inc.

The Denton County Transportation Authority’s new Stadler A-train vehicles began running on the passenger rail line in June.

DCTA clears hurdle to get new cars on track The Denton County Transportation Authority has cleared the last hurdle to get its new fleet of A-train rail cars up and running. The Federal Railroad Administration announced this week that DCTA had been granted its request for an alternate vehicle technology

waiver to operate its Swiss-made Stadler rail cars on the same tracks as freight trains. It was the first such waiver the FRA has granted. DCTA officials say the waiver will allow the new rail cars to be used on the A-train and increase possible expansion options for the A-train and transportation agencies across the county. Dee Leggett, DCTA vice president of communications and planning said some of the new rail cars’ safety features affect the absorption of energy in a crash. Previous rail cars distributed the energy and force of an impact across all the cars, which can cause secondary injuries to passengers and operators. Each

of the Stadler cars will absorb the energy, thus minimizing the impact to the passengers and operators. 6-8

Man tries to bring Lego store to Denton Anthony Bearden, 35, is trying to bring a Lego store to Denton by “crowd sourcing” — a way of fundraising online.

Via IndieGoGo.com, he asked friends and Denton residents to help him reach $15,000 in an effort to open his dream store, devoted to new and used Lego

For June, there were 511 foreclosed residential properties listed in Denton County. The data reflects residential, townhomes and condos located inside the county and does not include commercial property or duplexes, said George Roddy Sr., president of the Addison-based company. In June 2011, 547 Denton County residences were listed for foreclosure. “We are starting to see an increase in foreclosure activity after an eight- to nine-month low,” Roddy said. “Up until May, it had been kind of stagnant.” For the first half of the year, foreclosure listings in North Texas were 21 percent lower than the same six months last year, from 3,529 properties listed in 2011 to 2,782 properties listed in 2012, according to the data. Roddy said the number of foreclosures should remain steady for the rest of 2012, but he expects more activity in 2013. But even with the number of foreclosures, the housing market is doing fairly well. He said the home inventory, or the estimated time it would take to sell all the homes on the market, is 4 1/2 months in Denton County. The number of days a home is listed on the market has also dropped from 99 days in April 2011 to 80 days in April 2012, according to a report from the North Texas Real Estate Information Systems Inc. The average sale price of a Denton County home has

Collaborative Law – The Other Road to Take Through a Divorce. When a couple decides to divorce, they can choose a process that is designed to help spouses and families reach respectful solutions – they can choose Collaborative Law. The road to resolution in a divorce does not have to be a treacherous one. Often times divorce litigation leaves irreparable damage to finances and relationships. By taking the other road and choosing the collaborative law process, parties make a conscious effort to minimize any adverse impact the divorce will have on their futures.

ing to achieve settlement options which best serve the shared and competing goals, interests and concerns of the parties. An integral part of the collaborative process involves the establishment and understanding of the parties’ goals, interests and concerns with regard to the process, the parenting plan, the division of the marital estate and post-divorce relationships. Mr. Navarrette believes that “everyone’s commitment to the process is paramount to allowing the parties and attorneys to focus on the likelihood of reaching the end of the road with amicable agreement.” The Team Approach

In the collaborative law process, parties can work together to reach agreements that are focused on their individual and mutual goals through interest-based negotiations. “The collaborative law process allows each party to have a voice in the outcome of their case,” says Eric A. Navarrette, attorney in the Denton office of KoonsFuller, P.C., a law firm exclusively limited to the practice of family law. Mr. Navarrette believes that “a person’s ability to have a voice in the outcome of their case will carry a lasting impression on future relationships and obligations, and co-parenting with their ex-spouse.” When a divorce is imminent, it is imperative that the parties understand that postdivorce relationships and obligations are inevitable, especially when children are involved. While the parties in the collaborative process are adversaries and may have competing interests, the process itself encourages cooperation and collaboration to discuss and solve problems together. Generally, the collaborative law process was designed with the principle goal of helping people increase the chances that they will reach an agreement in a way that is less destructive financially and emotionally to the parties and children. Commitment to Resolution One of the greatest benefits of the formal collaborative law process is that when the formal collaborative law participation agreement is signed there is no doubt that the parties and their attorneys are serious about settling the case. Signing a formal collaborative law participation agreement commits the parties to obligations of full disclosure of information and commits the attorneys to withdrawing in the event the process is terminated. This is a serious commitment to attempt to settle from both the parties and their attorneys. In the collaborative law process, the focus is solely on settlement through interest-based negotiations. Interestbased negotiations are centered on try-

The preferred team approach used in the collaborative law process includes the parties, their attorneys, a neutral mental health professional, and a neutral

financial professional. The mental health professional serves as a communications facilitator that is trained in helping people manage their emotions and communicate more constructively in an emotional atmosphere. The financial professional can help the parties better understand the financial options and help defuse or reduce arguments concerning financial issues such as value, characterization of property, tax issues and other financial issues.

kept private and confidential,” says Mr. Navarrette. Privacy is a huge concern of many clients and the confidentiality provisions of the collaborative law participation agreement and the private nature of the process itself help the parties better achieve the privacy they often desire. In the collaborative process, the divorce is taken out of litigation, and there are no court hearings, depositions or document requests to third parties. Take the Road Less Traveled

The accepted and encouraged way of proceeding through the collaborative law process is for all of the parties and any team members to be present for all settlement discussions. By taking this road, the attorneys and neutral professionals are able to learn from and communicate directly with one another and with the parties [the decision makers]. Privacy

Should you reach the fork in the road, and divorce is imminent, consider the collaborative law process as an option to sustain and maintain the relationships that got you to that point. The collaborative law process is not appropriate for all cases; KoonsFuller attorneys are wellversed in assessing cases that are suited for and would benefit from the collaborative law process.

“Another intangible benefit of the collaborative process is that there is a greater chance that the parties’ dispute will be

retain control of their divorce process and outcome; have the privacy which is often sought during a divorce; proceed through the divorce process in a civilized, respectful, creative and individualized manner; acknowledge post-divorce relationships and obligations; focus their combined interests on providing for and protecting the children; and take ownership and responsibility for finalizing their divorce with respect and integrity.

Eric A. Navarrette Family Law Attorney

The collaborative process follows a six step process to resolve conflict that is generally referred to as the Roadmap to Resolution: 1. Establishing ground rules by signing the collaborative law participation agreement. 2. Determining each party’s goals, interests, and concerns. 3. Gathering information each party may need or want for option development and negotiations. 4. Brainstorming settlement options and solutions. 5. Evaluating settlement options and solutions. 6. Negotiating and selecting from the available options, the option that best meets as many of the parties’ shared and competing goals as possible.

“We want businesses that we can understand, with favorable long-term prospects, operated by honest and competent people, available at a very attractive price.” — Warren Buffett, in his 1992 letter to shareholders

f you have been tuned to media outlets recently, you are probably familiar with the Facebook IPO saga. Hopefully the ink we spill here adds some perspective and contrasts so the value investor may find opportunities — versus those typically hyped by the press — at the water cooler or during dinner parties. First, a recap. On May 18, Facebook went public, offering shares of its stock to the public through an initial public offering (IPO). Priced at $38 per share, the company floated about 20 percent of its stock and raised about $16 billion. Doing some quick math, that implied that the market, in all its wisdom, priced the social media darling at close to $80 billion for the entire company. Now for some nuance. If you consider the options and restricted stock units (RSUs) insiders held, the initial value breached $90 billion. Morgan Stanley, the investment bank that was the lead underwriter, has said there were bids for shares north of $45, which implies that at one point Facebook was “worth” more than $100 billion. Now for some controversy. Typically, investors who want to feed at the IPO trough are not admitted into the special club, and if they are, they are only allocated a fraction of the shares they desire. At first, Facebook was no exception to this rule — demand for shares was tremendous. Most brokers who were clamoring for shares on behalf of their clients knew how the game was played. So, they asked for more shares than they needed — a lot more shares, figuring

But seeing all this demand, the underwriters increased the size of the offering, raising both the number of shares to be issued and the price at which they would be floated. Suddenly, all those bloated orders were being fulfilled. Folks started panicking, wanting to dump their excess shares, figuring the shares they got probably would not get a big “pop.” But there were some technical difficulties in the opening hours of the IPO, and people didn’t know what they had bought or what they had sold. Since the initial flurry of activity, the shares have plummetted in price, nearly falling in half at one point but rallying a bit since. Needless to say, the same media voices that once pimped the IPO are now up in arms that such a debacle ensued. Congress and the Wall Street regulatory agencies are scheduling hearings. But here is the thing: The IPO was a resounding success — from the sellers’ point of view. Early investors in Facebook made tons of money selling their shares at a very attractive price. It was the buyers of these shares who got hosed. That is one of the reasons value investors typically stay away from IPOs. Buffett again: “The [IPO] market is ruled by controlling stockholders who can usually select the timing of offerings. Understandably, these sellers are not going to offer any bargains. It’s rare you’ll find x for 1/2x here.” Indeed, insiders like founder

Mark Zuckerberg and early investors like Goldman Sachs timed the offering well, getting a very full price to begin with, then using the hype to sell even more of their shares to the fawning public. Where else might have investors put some cash? Let’s compare some of Facebook’s initial valuation ratios with a very different business, Wal-Mart Stores Inc. With Facebook’s shares trading between $38 and the low-40s on opening day, let’s use the $100 billion valuation as our benchmark. Based on the prospectus filed before the IPO, at $100 billion Facebook traded for 33 times its revenues and 100 times its earnings. 100 times earnings! I wonder how many folks even read the prospectus. This obscene valuation implied the company’s profits would have to double every year for the next five years and it would maintain profit margins from that point forward — forever, until the end of time. Given that Facebook already has nearly a billion users and technology platforms are not necessarily known for their longevity, this seemed like a tall order. On the same day, Wal-Mart traded close to half revenues and less than 14 times profits. If we expanded our investment horizon beyond May 18, and looked at these alternatives over the past year, we could have picked up Wal-Mart at less than 10 times its cash profits (Full disclosure: Our fund did and still owns Wal-Mart shares). In effect, the shares of WalMart — a growing, world-dominating business — were being priced as if Wal-Mart was going to shrink perpetually. Given Wal-Mart’s massive growth initatives in Asia, Latin America and Africa, this seemed silly. So here is the fundamental question: Over the past 12 FITE | CONTINUED ON PAGE 10

Making sure your site is competitive

ver the past nine months, I’ve spent a lot of time visiting with site location consultants across the United States about Denton and the benefits of locating a business here. In my conversations with the consultants, not only is it important to tell the Denton story, but it’s always important for me to listen to them and learn what’s going on in the industry and what trends are emerging. One common thread has continued to surface in my conversations: Time is money! Today’s site consultant is being increasingly pressured by companies with tight location timelines. As a result, additional pressure is being put on the local economic development professional to find an appropriate site that not only meets the client’s physical and geographical criteria but has the ability to move a project through a city’s permitting process in an efficient and timely manner. When site consultants are considering sites for a client,

months, which one of these two businesses could you say was easy to understand, had favorable long-term prospects, was operated by competent people and was available at a very attractive price? The choice should have been easy. But when Wal-Mart traded for close to 10 times earnings, few wanted to buy it. Many said it was “dead money” — having seen no appreciation in the share price over the previous 10 years. But in the late 1990s Walmart traded for 50 times earnings. Since then, its profits have tripled while the earnings multiplier fell from 50 to 10. You may recall this column from May 2011, “Quality is Cheap,” where we pounded on the table about how cheap WalMart was. Since then, Wal-Mart’s stock price is up nearly 40 percent while the overall stock mar-

Karen DICKSON | more emphasis is being put on “shovel-ready” or “certified sites.” These sites are properties where a rigorous prequalification process has taken place that ultimately will reduce the risks and time associated with development. Shovel-ready and certified sites provide detailed information about the site including availability and location of public utilities, land cost, industrial power quality, phase one environmental audits, zoning, permits already in place and site characteristics such as wetlands and endangered species. When a community makes the short list of two or three remaining competitors for a project, the critical deciding fac-

ket has been flat. In contrast, when Facebook went public, everyone wanted it. Folks ages 8 to 88 knew about Facebook and wanted a piece of the action. Unfortunately, too few recognized the hype for what it was and took a pass when all their friends were buying shares. Value investing is hard. It requires you to be contrarian, to go against the crowd. Sometimes, the crowd is right. But too often the crowd is just a bunch of moths drawn to the heat of the flame. Value investors know that when things are hot, investors can easily get burned.

tor often becomes time. If a company has to spend additional time and money moving through a long permitting and development process, the consultant has a reason to eliminate that community. Remember, site location is a process of elimination. If one community isn’t ready, another one will be. As I speak to audiences and teach students in the field of economic development, I always emphasize how economic development is a highly competitive field and how cities compete fiercely against one another. However, today the bar is being raised and cities have to step up their game by streamlining permitting processes and truly being a “one-stop shop” in order to not only win projects, but simply to remain competitive in the site location process.

Book Your Next Event at the French Fig!

Celebrity Chefs promises tour of tropics for foodies W e are anticipating that at least 30 local restaurants and food service operations will participate in our Celebrity Chefs competition on the evening of Friday, Oct. 4 at Texas Woman’s University’s Hubbard Hall. The theme for the Denton Chamber of Commerce event is “An Evening in the Tropics.” There will be six categories from which visitors may sample dishes and beverages. With categories like Sunset Sweets & Treats, Virgin Island Quenchers, and Tropical Foodies, I think it’s safe to say all personal palate preferences should be served. Based on the success from the past two years, we consider Celebrity Chefs to be our signature event for a couple of reasons. First, it is an opportunity for us to showcase our expanding

The meeting room at the chamber naturally gets a lot of use. We host multiple functions daily, with usage by standing chamber committees and events as well as our four affiliate organizations. The current fur-

Fremaux also said the business had become financially unsustainable, citing rising fuel and operating costs.

‘Tweaking’ health care

John Baines is a certified public accountant who is waiting to see how much health care will cost under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act.

By Karina Ramírez

Representatives of Denton industries had mixed reactions to the U.S. Supreme Court decision that upheld the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. While some called the ruling unfair and others just accepted it, there is uncertainty about how the insurance overhaul will affect business owners. André J. “Frenchy” Rheault, owner of Frenchy’s Lawn & Tree Service, said he disagreed with the court’s June 28 ruling and it

definitely will impact his hiring decisions. Since most of his business is seasonal and most of his employees work periodically, he

is not sure how the insurance mandate will apply to his business, which currently has 18 employees.

“The challenge is that being a small-business person, I don’t know any information on what my future cost will be,” he said. “Therefore, I won’t be doing any additional hiring until some ruling has been made. Hopefully this bill will be turned over.” One of the key provisions of the law, the insurance mandate, requires every U.S. citizen and legal resident to have qualifying health coverage beginning Jan. 1, 2014. Individuals and families that do not comply with the

mandate will face a tax penalty. With as many as 6 million uninsured Texans — about 26 percent of the population — businesses and other entities would have to make sure they comply with the law. Rheault joins many business owners across the state who believe the new law will impact their business. In April, the Texas comptroller’s office issued a report titled “Texas Business Attitudes Toward Federal Health Care Reform,” in which it

provided the results of a survey sent to members of the Texas Association of Business and the National Federation of Independent Business. More than 900 business owners responded to the survey, which revealed that 3.4 percent of employers surveyed believed the legislation would be good for their businesses. A staggering 65.2 percent of respondents said the federal law already has hindered their businesses. Because of the law, many Texas employers have reduced staffing and have eliminated or reduced employees’ health care benefits. Bill Hammond, president of the Texas Association of Business, an organization with more than 3,000 members including chambers of commerce, said the business community has always been concerned about the cost of the law and how it would impact the country. “Unless Congress takes action to replace this plan with something that is more workable, we will see many jobs lost and many businesses that offer insurance to their employees now will drop that coverage,” he said. Another area of concern for small businesses is the requirement that businesses with 50 or more full-time-equivalent employees offer coverage or be assessed a fine of $2,000 per uninsured full-time employee. The penalty excludes the first 30 full-time employees. Businesses that do not conform to the provision are likely to pay penalties totaling $9.3 billion for fiscal year 2010 through 2019, the Texas comptroller’s office said in a 2010 report titled “Diagnosis: Cost — An Initial Look at the Federal Health Care Legislation Impact on Texas.” The report looked at the cost of the health care legislation and how businesses would be affected. HEALTH CARE AND SMALL BUSINESSES To help small businesses provide insurance for their employees, the federal government is offering credits to those business owners who already provide employees with insurance or do

Firms with 25 or fewer employees that pay average annual wages below $50,000 and provide health insurance can qualify for a tax credit of up to 35 percent to offset the cost of insurance, according to www. healthcare.gov, the government’s website dedicated to explaining provisions of the health insurance act. Starting in 2014, the small-business tax credit increases to 50 percent for qualifying businesses. Additionally, businesses that have fewer than 100 employees will have the option to shop in “Affordable Insurance Exchanges” to compare prices and provide insurance to their employees. Under the act, the state of Texas is directed to set up a health exchange to help individuals and businesses purchase insurance by Jan. 1, 2013. The notion was still being debated and it was not clear if the state

will create its own plan to offer exchanges or will adopt one proposed by the federal government. The state has until Nov. 16 to decide. John Baines, a business owner and certified public accountant, said the law as passed was a good first draft that still needed “tweaking.” “It is like the Constitution — the Founding Fathers prepared it and we have made changes ever since,” he said. “We spend a lot of money on health care, but our quality of care — well, we have a poor record. There needs to be some adjustments in the way we handle our business.” Baines said the law provides tax incentives so that employers can provide health insurance. With seven employees working at his firm, he said he wants to see the real cost of health care covered under the law. “We have lots of inflated costs, and that is not providing the real picture of health care,” he said.

Employers can participate in Healthy Texas, a state program that provides health insurance for uninsured small businesses. It was created by the Texas Legislature in 2009 — a year before Congress passed the federal health insurance overhaul — to help small businesses find and buy insurance at an average of 30 percent less than comparable insurance plans, according to its website. Under the program, private

health insurance companies provide coverage to businesses. The program uses a state-funded pool to reimburse participating insurance carriers for some of their high-cost health care claims.

with preventive measures and home health care, the state ranked “weak” or “very weak.” The only area where Texas received a “strong” grading was in maternal and child care measures. Seeing that quality care is needed at all levels, Texas Health Resources and other entities are working on promoting the well-being of communities and individuals. In April, Texas Health Resources, which owns Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Denton, announced a 10-year partnership agreement with Healthways, a Tennessee health consulting company, to help people stay healthy and inspire them to become active participants in their own well-being. Berdan said a problem with the health system is that people’s behaviors are not taken into consideration. “Fifty percent of health problems are related to behavior, the choices people make,” he said. “We spend about four percent of our resources on managing or changing people. We have to get ahead of these issues; we think we are in a good position to do that. “We have to look at how we can change our processes and how we can help inspire people to change behaviors,” Berdan said. “That cannot happen soon enough.” Berdan said the court ruling

This saved us from having to consider a switch in the industry.” Caleb O’Rear, chief executive officer of Denton Regional Medical Center, agreed. He said the ruling would not affect his hospital’s operations. “We will remain focused on our ongoing mission to provide high-quality, patient-centric care, and we will continue to work with all our stakeholders — clinicians, government authorities, community leaders and employees — to ensure the provision of this care continues smoothly,” he said.

Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Denton is at Interstate 35 and Hickory Street.

Denton Regional Medical Center, a 208-bed, full-service hospital, serves four counties and has more than 850 employees and 300 physicians. He said there’s a need for more individuals to have insurance in the state. “Regardless of one’s political affiliation, I believe it to be an embarrassment that in our state alone 26 percent of the population is currently uninsured, including more than $1.2 million children,” O’Rear wrote in an e-mail. The 2,000 patients of Health Services of North Texas, which received a $595,833 grant and became a federally qualified health center through the new law in June, will continue to be served, said the center’s director, Ron Aldridge. “We will continue to offer

health care to our employees,” Aldridge said. Johanna Oosterwijk, owner of Shambhala Wellness, which provides hypnocoaching, clinical hypnotherapy and other services to help people live healthy lives, said she agreed with the court’s decision. “The fact that there is better access to affordable insurance, and that existing preconditions cannot be a reason for denial of coverage, has a major impact [on us] as we have several practitioners including myself who cannot get affordable health insurance coverage, or have to pay a very high premium,” she said. Oosterwijk said she and her 12 contractors are always working with clients who are looking for assistance and cannot afford her center’s services.

“They are looking for alternative ways to deal with their issues,” she said. “Even though the initial cost of alternative treatments is a little higher, in the long term it saves them money because the problems are getting solved from the root cause and they don’t have to go back to the doctor over and over.” Oosterwijk said she expects the cost of chiropractic services, diabetic and obesity nutrition services, and counseling care to increase now that more people will have improved access to health care. “However, it may take awhile before we see the effect,” she said.

Thomas’ Ethan Allen goes the distance for its customers

www.officebarn.biz

By Karina Ramírez

Dinah, a white, 11-year-old Labrador-Pyrenees mix, is quite the center of attention at Thomas’ Ethan Allen Interiors. She normally hangs out by the furniture store’s front door. “We have people who come specifically to visit with her,” said Marianne McKinley, one of the store’s design consultants. “I have one customer who comes with her husband,” said Anadara Braun-Good, another design consultant. “She comes to shop, and her husband comes to see Dinah. He will lay on the floor with her, curl up with her and take a nap.” Craig Thomas, co-owner of the store, said Dinah visits with her friend Gus, a 7- or 8-year-old Staffordshire Terrier mix, about once a week. They are both rescue pets and well-known to the customers who love to pet them while trying to find the right fur-

niture for their home. Since March 5, Dinah, Gus and the staff at the Ethan Allen store at the corner of Oak and Elm streets have been celebrating the store’s 50th anniversary. It’s been a quiet affair, said Bill Thomas, who opened the store in 1962 when it was known as Thomas’ Ethan Allen Gallery. “We have not hosted any big celebrations,” he said. Bill Thomas, then 35, said he never really thought he would own a furniture store. Prior to acquiring the store, he worked as a wholesale distributor covering North Texas and southern Oklahoma. The job included lots of travel and dealing with the owners of hardware stores, furniture stores and lumberyards. One day he went to the Ethan Allen store and spoke to the owner, who asked him to bring his wife, Janie, to the store’s liqui-

dation sale. It was there, he said, where he began to think about possibly taking over the store. The store, he said, has been at the same location since 1949 — 13 years before he took over. “I had been traveling for 12 years and wanted to get off the road,” he said. “I was driving between 50,000 and 60,000 [miles] per year.” Bill Thomas then talked to a local banker who informed him he did not have enough equity to get a loan, he recalled. “He told me to go see my next-door neighbor, a pharmacist, and I told him what I found,” Bill Thomas said. “That is how I started.” Bill Thomas, now 85, calls his furniture business wonderful and challenging but also frustrating at times.

â&#x20AC;&#x153;One thing I learned is that every year we have a presidential election, business is off,â&#x20AC;? Thomas said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I can shut my eyes and look at my books and tell which year is an election year. It is weird. I did not know at first, but then I started seeing it every five years. Like a roller coaster you go down and up, and you have to prepare for that.â&#x20AC;? Even with its off years, Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ethan Allen keeps a steady clientele. The store now serves second- and third-generation customers who say the furniture is so well made it lasts forever. Sherry Walker, a customer of 20 years, said the only reason she gave up her first Ethan Allen purchase â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the family couch â&#x20AC;&#x201D; was because it underwent extraordinary circumstances. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I had a squirrel go inside the couch. The couch was still brand-new, but I had to replace it last year,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There was nothing to get rid of the smell.â&#x20AC;? After being away from home for two weeks, she said, she noticed some items in her home were a bit displaced, and then one day a bad smell came out of the couch. There was nothing she could do but replace it. She replaced it with another Ethan Allen couch, she said. Walkerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s longstanding Ethan Allen pieces include a 1974 dining room set and just about every other piece of furniture in her home. She said Braun-Good has helped her for many years and is presently helping her update her den and breakfast room and add valances and drapes to her bathroom. She said redecorating her home has been an ongoing project for the

past three years. Braun-Good, who has been with the store for 25 years, said Ethan Allen customers vary. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are older clients who want very traditional pieces and are still upset that Ethan Allen discontinued Antique Pine and Heirloom Maple from 70 years ago,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There are people that are looking for contemporary pieces or minimalist pieces or transitional pieces. It depends on the client.â&#x20AC;? Braun-Good said being an interior designer is sort of acting like a doctor and asking a lot of questions in order to find out what the client really needs. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am a guide. I am not going to make decisions for them. I am here to help them narrow down their choices because they have countless decisions,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It can be daunting for some people.â&#x20AC;? Charldean Newell, who first bought an Ethan Allen piece â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a room-size braided rug â&#x20AC;&#x201D; in the late 1960s, said she doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t like shopping and considers herself an impatient shopper. She said Braun-Good has worked with her to combine the old with the new throughout her house. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are really nice people, very helpful and they know what they are doing,â&#x20AC;? Newell said about the staff at Ethan Allen. Cheryl Kesterson, another customer, said the Ethan Allen experience can be described as the â&#x20AC;&#x153;way customer service used to be.â&#x20AC;? All the staff is focused on ensuring customer satisfaction. For her major home renovation during the spring of 2011, Kesterson worked with McKinley, who made it a point to visit her home at least four times. Thomasâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Ethan Allen pro-

vides house calls, something they have been doing since the store changed hands 50 years ago. That way they can help customers with their selections. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If Marianne is not there, Anadara will help and vice versa,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;They are wonderful to work with.â&#x20AC;? Kesterson said the staff at the store will not sell an item for the sake of selling it. The design consultants evaluate the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home and try to help them find pieces that work well together. When she was looking for a bedroom for her father, Kesterson could not find what she was looking for at Ethan Allen. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I found a bed online through a well-known store and Marianne encouraged me to go with that,â&#x20AC;? she said. Craig Thomas said communication with customers is crucial. Craig has been part of the family business since his early 20s and his ultimate joy is to deliver his customersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; furniture. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Part of the reason I deliver is the interaction with the customers,â&#x20AC;? he said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Our designers work well with our customers in finding the things they like. And they build good rapport with them. If there is an issue, we figure out how to make them happy. We strive for that.â&#x20AC;? Ethan Allen customers are located beyond the Denton County area. Craig has made personal deliveries to other places such as Oklahoma, California, Florida and as far away as Canada. Craig said, in his years at Ethan Allen, customers seldom return their furniture purchases. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I attribute that to Anadara and Marianne. They really work with the customer,â&#x20AC;? he said.

working together at Paradigm Entertainment in Farmers Branch, where they created console games. All their creativity happens in the basement of the Bank Building on Locust Street. During its first couple of years, Jovian Minds had offices in a car repair shop in Lewisville. “It made oil changes real convenient,” Christian said, although business calls were more difficult. The four moved their office to Denton about a year ago because most of them live here and they like the creative vibe. The team does contract work on business and marketing apps as well as Flash games. Mobile is a “happening industry,” said Christian, the CEO. Jovian Minds has worked on about 80 projects, including the American Airlines app. “Games are our passion,” Christian said. And that’s where the money is, but there is a lot of luck involved, he said. The team creates games in between other projects when they have the time and funds. They don’t have a specific type of game they develop. While they worked at Paradigm they worked on a variety of games for consoles, including Duck Dodgers Starring Daffy Duck, The Terminator: Dawn of Fate, Mission: Impossible — Operation Surma, and Stuntman: Ignition. When they worked for Paradigm, they didn’t have much say in the final product, said Rives, the artistic lead. Now, he said, “We have a lot more of the freedom.” Their office has a laid-back atmosphere. They throw around a lot of ideas and act a little silly, they said, until they come up with a game that they think people will buy and that they have time to create. The team’s recent games include Trouble in Tin Town, a turn-based strategy game that took the team about six months to create, and Jungle King, a game for the Kindle.
