Virtually everybody who applied to be Denton’s new police chief mentioned how they would engage community members in policing the city. Community policing is not a new concept, and it refers to authorities showing an active effort to listen to the needs of the people who live and work in a city. All six of the people who are on the shortlist for the job included community-focused policing in their application materials. But they went a little further than most of the other applicants: They mentioned community policing with respect to Denton’s high-growth projections. It’s one thing for an applicant to write the word “community” in their cover letters or resumes. It’s another thing entirely for an applicant to come from a city that has experienced similar population or econom-

ic growth while in a leadership role at a police department. Frank Dixon, an assistant police chief from Austin, talked about “decreasing the negative impacts of growth.” He wrote in an opening paragraph about the nuances of a rapid change. “I have seen first-hand how Austin changed due to explosive growth and development,” Dixon said. “I’ve learned that growth is a double-edged sword which creates culture change, prosperity, and opportunities for its citizens while it also escalates demands on city services, creates increases in homeless population, and causes loss of affordable housing.” Christy Martinez, an assistant police chief from Grand Prairie, said the police department has to work with resources See FINALISTS on 13A

City Council, staff look to repair past damages By Dalton LaFerney Staff Writer dalton.laferney@dentonrc.com
One man called himself a “law enforcement practitioner,” offering his Ph.D.-level policing expertise to Denton. Another listed his experience as the assistant pastor of a church as a reason he should be chosen. There was also the police chief from Illinois who said he landed his current job after “the last police chief was arrested for DUI and weapons charges after being involved in a car crash in Wisconsin.” Roughly 111 people sent their cover letters
The delivery of citizen input on city business matters was up for discussion Saturday among Denton City Council members. Earlier this summer, an outside consultant recommended the city make certain cuts to its recycling programs. Mayor Chris Watts said he received numerous messages from residents worried about the cuts. But no action has been taken on the matter. The recommendations were made in a work session between council and city staff. Some of the public concern, Watts said, stemmed from a blog post council member Keely Briggs made about

A 30-year-old man was arrested around 3 p.m. Friday near the intersection of Westminster Street and Londonderry Lane after his girlfriend told police he pushed her out of the car and hit her after an argument, said Denton police spokesman Bryan Cose. A witness called 911 after seeing a woman grabbing her belongings from the side of the road, Cose said. The 36-year-old woman told police she and her boyfriend were arguing over a text message she received while he was driving. Cose said the boyfriend stopped driving at one point and dragged the woman out of the car by her hair. The two then got back in the car and continued driving to Denton, where they stopped again. The man claimed the woman punched him and said he never touched her when he kicked her out of the vehicle, according to Cose. After interviewing both of them and seeing the woman had injuries consistent with her story, police arrested the man on a charge of assault causing bodily injury.
Other reports
800 block of Sun Valley Drive — Police responded to a welfare concern call about “a lot of bloodâ€? in the alley behind a residence around 8 p.m. Friday, according to a police report. The caller said they could sort out the situation when officers arrived. Officers reported that the two men involved appeared intoxicated, Cose said. They noticed a knife and a bag of marijuana with the caller, a 52-year-old man, and broken glass sur-
rounding the second man. Cose said the men said they cut each other to see if the glass was sharp. The second man said the blood on his arm and clothes was from a “playfulâ€? bite from the 52-year-old and that it wasn’t assault. The 52-year-old was arrested and charged with possession of marijuana, and the second man has a warrant out for his arrest for a charge of assault causing bodily injury. East Sherman Drive and Loop 288 — A caller said the driver of a pickup was trying to throw a passenger out of the moving truck around 5 p.m. Friday, according to a police report. The 26-year-old victim said the incident began at a residence at the 300 block of Texas Street, Cose said. A man and woman he knew from previous contract work arrived in a white pickup. The victim admitted to throwing equipment from the back of the truck because the driver attempted to drive off while the victim was at the rear of the truck, according to Cose. Cose said the driver stepped out of the vehicle at one point to meet the victim at the back of the truck and the woman hopped into the driver’s seat and drove off, dragging the men behind the truck. No one was arrested but a report was taken.

A fiery collision between a dump truck and a Trinity Railway Express train killed two people in the semi Saturday and injured several people on the train, two of them critically. The crash was reported about noon in the 12500 block of Calloway Cemetery Road in far East Fort Worth, an area between north Arlington and Euless. The truck was struck by the westbound train and burst into flames, killing two people inside, according to Fort Worth fire spokesman Mike Drivdahl. Their names have not been released. Dallas Area Rapid Transit spokesman Morgan Lyons said the crossing arms were down when the crash happened. “Our trains do not take more than a few seconds to get through an intersection,� Lyons told WFAA-TV (Channel 8). “There is nothing — nothing — on the other side of that intersection that is worth risking your life.� The DART spokesman added that the TRE can travel at speeds up to 79 mph in that area. DORANSKI AGENCY (940) 387 6289 2000 DENISON ST #A DENTON
Firefighters from Fort Worth, Euless and Arlington were called to the scene, and several ambulances were dispatched. Eleven people on the train were hospitalized, including two who were in critical condition and three others with serious but not life-threatening injuries, authorities said. The collision blew out windows on the passenger cars and damaged the front of the locomotive, which came to a stop about a half-mile from the intersection. Paramedics checked out half of the 50 people aboard the train, some of them with bumps and bruises. TRE passengers were taken off the train and bused to a nearby strip club to use the restroom and cool off before a shuttle arrived to take them to Fort Worth. Passenger Tirone Gray, of Pleasant Grove, said he was sitting next to the locomotive and felt “everything� at the point of impact. “There was dust and rocks came in; the windows were busted,� said Gray, 39. “My original thought was that the train was going to roll.�

Texas reforms offer lessons for Okla. OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Lawmakers in Texas say their efforts to reduce prison sizes and costs offer lessons for Oklahoma, where corrections officials are seeking hundreds of millions of dollars to build new ones. Texas built $2 billion in prisons to house 103,000 new inmates between 1989 and 1996, but a state budget crunch and proposals to build even more prisons helped launch bipartisan criminal justice reform measures in 2007. Those have allowed the state to close eight prison facilities in the past seven years and dramatically reduce its incarceration costs. “There are things you can do that will alleviate the strain on the prison population, that will save the state money, improve outcomes across the board and Republican Party voters or conservative voters are generally in favor of those reforms,” said Doug Smith, a senior policy analyst with the left-leaning Texas Criminal Justice Coalition.

Young judges test skills at fair By Zaira Perez Staff Writer zaira.perez@dentonrc.com
It was nearly silent Saturday morning at the North Texas Fairgrounds livestock pavilion, except for the livestock inside. One goat called out continuously and another animal from the other side of the barn responded. About 50 kids roamed around the pavilion to rank the animals during the North Texas Fair and Rodeo’s livestock judging contest. Meanwhile, other families were preparing for the junior lamb show that began later in the morning. The fair and rodeo hosts a variety of livestock contests throughout its annual nine-day run, which wrapped up Saturday. The livestock judging competition has taken place for about 10 years now. “We’ve come a long way since [the first year],” said Ryan Pieniazek, the superintendent for the judging contest, who is an agriculture science teacher at Krum High School. Students ages 8 to 18 are allowed to participate, as long as they are enrolled in a Texas school and belong to 4-H or FFA. The contestants were judged as individuals in junior and senior divisions, and in teams of three or four. Participants had to judge seven classes of animals — market hogs, breeding does, Santa Gertrudis heifers, market steers, Dorper ewes, prospect goats and Red Angus heifers — with four animals in each class. The animals were all from local breeders. The animals in each class were given a number between 1 and 4. The contestants’ job was to rank the animals in the order they would buy first, based on attributes such as structural correctness, finish and eye appeal. The youths’ rankings were then compared to a judging committee’s official rankings to see which contestants made the decisions closest to the official rankings.

Daryl Real, a volunteer coach with Denton County 4-H, talks about scoring animals during the junior livestock judging competition Saturday in the livestock pavilion at the North Texas Fair and Rodeo.
“[The kids] are learning to develop decisionmaking skills, time management, how to defend their choice and teamwork.” — Ryan Pieniazek, superintendent for the judging contest While judging the animals, competitors were not allowed to talk to each other, touch the animals or use electronic devices. Teams were stationed at each set of animals for about 10 minutes to fill out their scorecards before moving on to the next group of livestock. “[The kids] are learning to develop decision-making skills, time management, how to defend their choice and teamwork,” Pieniazek said.

Nicholas Dagostino hated female drivers, authorities say, so much so that he shot them while they were driving. Police in Texas linked Dagostino to two recent shootings in which women said they were shot in the arm. Both incidents happened in broad daylight, within a few miles of each other in the Katy area of Harris County, west of Houston. And both involved a suspect — Dagostino — who claimed he shot the women in self-defense, according to criminal complaints. But social media ramblings indicate that Dagostino “held a very dim view of women,” believed female drivers are “incompetent” and that their sole purpose “is to give birth to male children,” investigators wrote in court documents. Dagostino, 29, is facing two felony charges of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon. His defense attorney, Kenneth Mingledorff, said that statements police made about Dagostino’s hatred against women are merely assumptions. “There’s a lot being said. Nobody knows that for a fact,” Mingledorff told The Washington Post on Saturday. “I’ve seen no evidence of that at all. A lot of assumptions are being made, and we’ll work through all that.” He added that his client needs psychological help, though he did not elaborate. “We’re very sorry for the people involved,” Mingle-
dorff said, referring to the injured women. “[Dagostino’s] family wants them to know that they’re concerned about them and we’re going to do what we can to make sure that this never happens again.” The most recent shooting happened on July 10, at a carwash in Katy. The victim told police that she was pulling into the carwash when she heard a noise and saw that her driver’s-side window was cracked. She assumed it had been hit by a rock, but she later saw blood dripping down her arm, court records say. Surveillance footage showed a green Ford Explorer, possibly a 1996 to 2000 model, next to the woman’s car when she was shot. Police later found the vehicle’s owner, Dagostino, who lived nearby. He told police that he shot the woman because she swerved into his lane, and that he did so in self-defense, court records say. Investigators learned of another shooting that happened a few months earlier, on March 7, at a gas station just three miles away from the carwash. The victim told police she was leaving a gas station when she heard a loud noise and felt pain in her right arm. Then, she told police, she saw a man in a dark green older-model SUV looking at her as he drove by, as if he was checking to see if he had shot her, court records say. Dagostino admitted to police that he also shot the woman at the gas station because she struck his vehicle and swerved into his lane, court records say.

Cities hit by Harvey still struggling but finding normalcy Texas is making strong progress after hurricane By Juan A. Lozano Associated Press
HOUSTON — Although many Texas families are still struggling to recover from Hurricane Harvey a year after it caused widespread damage and flooding along the Gulf Coast and in and around Houston, daily life has mostly returned to normal in many of the hardest-hit communities. In the Houston area, where more than 150,000 homes were flooded, the mountains of debris that lined streets for months after Harvey are gone. Rockport, where the storm made landfall, had rebuilt enough by this summer to welcome back the tourists who fuel the local economy. In Port Arthur, where few buildings escaped Harvey unscathed or were insured against flooding, many are living in trailers as they rebuild their homes one room at a time and finding hope in small victories. While it could take a decade to fully recover from Harvey, which came ashore Aug. 25, 2017, as a Category 4 storm, officials say Texas has already made great strides. However, they acknowledge that federal recovery funding has been slow in coming for some residents and that many are feeling frustrated and forgotten. Parts of Houston, which is

But Marvin Odum, who is overseeing the recovery efforts in the nation’s fourth-largest city, said it’s been “fairly amazing” how quickly Houston got back to business. Houston has received a total of

Man charged in death of priest buried in Texas Authorities say a man has been charged in the death of a retired Roman Catholic priest whose body was found buried in a remote area of far South Texas after he went missing earlier this month. The Texas Rangers confirmed Friday that the body found Aug. 17 in Willacy County was that of 71-year-old William “Bill” Costello, a retired Massachusetts parish priest. He’d last been seen Aug. 1 on South Padre Island. The Valley Morning Star in Harlingen reports that 27-yearold Juan Carlos Baez Escobedo was arrested Wednesday in the slaying. He remained jailed Saturday on $2 million bond on a murder charge. Jail records didn’t list an attorney for him. The Catholic Diocese in Fall River, Massachusetts, said Costello came to Texas more than three years ago.

The Travis County Sheriff’s Office said Saturday that 26-year-old Omar Garcia apparently killed 23-year-old Nancy Garcia before killing himself. Their bodies were discovered Friday morning after a passing Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z Z

Chicago
Cities vying for 2020 Democratic convention The three cities vying to host the 2020 Democratic convention are courting party leaders and activists at their summer meeting in Chicago. Houston, Miami and Milwaukee are the finalists. A selection committee has been visiting the potential sites. A decision is expected early next year. Miami gave people attending the Democratic National Committee meeting a taste of Chicago’s waterfront offerings by renting out a boat docked at Navy Pier for its party. Milwaukee’s gathering featured an appearance by onetime Milwaukee Bucks basketball star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar. The city has suggested the Bucks’ new arena as the convention’s venue. Gospel singer Yolanda Adams highlighted Houston’s party. Houston also scattered promotions throughout the DNC’s meeting hotel, including Texas-shaped decals on the carpet and bar tabletops. —The Associated Press

$4.3 billion in Federal Emergency Management Agency individual assistance funding, payouts from the National Flood Insurance Program and Small Business Administration, or SBA, loans. Across Texas, $14.7 billion has been awarded to residents through FEMA, flood insurance and SBA loans, said Nim Kidd, chief of the Texas Division of Emergency Management. The state is expected to get another
$10 billion in federal funding for housing and infrastructure needs. Odum said he’s mindful that the recovery is far from over and that the process can be very slow. He also worries that people will forget about “those pockets of the city that are still heavily devastated from the storm.” Harvey’s 130 mph winds destroyed 30 percent of the buildings in coastal Rockport, laying waste to hotels, restaurants and
affordable housing used by the workers who kept the tourism community’s service industry humming, said Mayor Pat Rios. With a lack of housing, many workers left, which has meant some restaurants can no longer stay open seven days a week and the local Walmart can’t stay open 24 hours a day. But the city is open for business, and this summer it has welcomed “volunteer tourists” who
work a few days on rebuilding efforts and then spend the rest of their time vacationing, Rios said. “We know we’re going to rebuild, and we’ll be better and stronger than we were before,” Rios said. Recovering from a storm like Harvey is a long process, but now that people see it’s going to take time, “they realize how far we’ve actually come,” said Pete Phillips, senior director for community development and revitalization at the Texas General Land Office, which is in charge of the state’s long-term recovery action plan. Harvey damaged up to 85 percent of the structures in Port Arthur, a coastal city of about 55,000 people near the Louisiana border. While Port Arthur has replaced flooded garbage and police vehicles and restored city services, many residents are still living in FEMA trailers or tents on their property as they rebuild their homes, said Port Arthur Mayor Derrick Freeman. “Folks are doing what they can with what they have ... getting one bathroom up and going, one bedroom, getting a mattress for your kids. It’s the small victories that people are looking to right now,” he said. Freeman said he’s hoping that a $1 million check he recently got for federal aid from Hurricane Ike in 2008 doesn’t signify how long it will take to get Harvey recovery aid. “It’s going to be a long process. But our folks are hardworking, blue collar, strong, resilient people. We’re going to be OK,” he said.

Hawaii emerges from threat as storm veers away By Audrey Mcavoy and Caleb Jones Associated Press
HONOLULU — Hawaii emerged Saturday from the threat of a potentially devastating hurricane after historic amounts of rain forced evacuations on some islands but damage appeared less than feared. Tropical Storm Lane, once known as Hurricane Lane, began to break apart as it veered west into the open Pacific, leaving behind sighs of relief and plenty of cleanup, especially on the Big Island where rainfall totals approached 4 feet. No storm-related deaths have been reported, though Big Island authorities said they plucked families from floodwaters and landslides closed roads.
The National Weather Service canceled all storm warnings for the state, several hours after shopkeepers in Honolulu’s tourist-heavy areas already started taking down plywood meant to protect windows if the storm made it that far. Preliminary figures from the weather service show that Lane dropped the fourth-highest amount of rain for a hurricane to hit the United States since 1950. Hurricane Harvey, which devastated Texas a year ago, topped the list. The storm’s outer bands dumped as much as 45 inches on the mostly rural Big Island, measurements showed. The main town of Hilo, population 43,000, was flooded Friday with waist-high water.
Authorities rescued 39 people from floodwaters Friday and Saturday, all in the eastern part of the Big Island where the rain concentrated, Hawaii County Civil Defense spokeswoman Kelly Wooten said. Teams were assessing damage, she said, but continued to focus on recovery efforts because it was still raining. Big Island Book Buyers in Hilo opened as normal Saturday morning after owner Mary Bicknell saw a bit of sunshine and blue sky. “Everybody is in pretty good spirits. It’s kind of nice,” she said of her customers before adding everyone was “hoping and praying it’s over.” One of the island’s volcanoes is erupting, and the rain could
still cause whiteout conditions on some active lava fields when it hits the molten rock and boils off as steam. About 200 miles and several islands to the northwest, tourists wandered Waikiki Beach and took leisurely swims as shopkeepers prepared to reopen. Hotels began putting deck chairs back alongside pools. Dozens of surfers were in the Pacific, looking to ride small waves. The breeze was light. Winds were also calmer on Maui, which had seen about 12 inches of rain and wind gusts up to 50 mph. On Saturday, winds were about 11 mph. Like the Big Island, Maui experienced flooding and landslides. Lane first approached the islands earlier this week as a Cat-
egory 5 hurricane, meaning it was likely to cause catastrophic damage with winds of 157 mph or above. But upper-level winds known as shear swiftly tore the storm apart. As flooding hit the Big Island, winds fanned brush fires that had broken out in dry areas of Maui and Oahu. Some residents in a shelter on Maui had to flee flames, and another fire forced people from their homes. Flames burned nine homes in the historic coastal town of Lahaina and forced 600 people to evacuate, Maui County spokeswoman Lynn Araki-Regan said. Some have returned, but many have not because much of the area lacks power, Araki-Regan said.
Those outages meant the water provider on Maui’s west side was unable to pump, so officials at the Maui Electric utility urged conservation — particularly important because firefighters need supplies to put out the remaining flames. The central Pacific gets fewer hurricanes than other regions, with only about four or five named storms a year. Hawaii rarely gets hit. The last major storm to hit was Iniki in 1992. Others have come close in recent years. “It’s great that it didn’t get us,” Nick Palumbo II, who lives and owns a surf shop on the island of Lanai, said of Lane. He worried, however, that the near-miss would give residents a false sense of security.
Mayo, Fla., changing name Grow Your Money – Spend Life Wisely RATES AS HIGH AS PERFORMANCE to ‘Miracle Whip’ as a joke * forts to get residents to remove mayonnaise from their homes. The town’s elected officials say they will let residents in on the joke after a few days, but not before street signs and the name on the water tower have been switched out. The town located halfway between Tallahassee and Gainesville is getting between $15,000 and $25,000 for the name change, and the money will be used for city beautification measures. In an interview with The Associated Press, Mayo’s mayor ran with the concept, insisting it would be a good idea to make the name change permanent. “We aren’t going to be boring Mayo anymore. We are going to be Miracle Whip!” Ann Murphy said. “I definitely think this will put us on the map.” Town clerk Linda Cone con-
firmed the name change is a prank and conceded that in a town so small it probably won’t take long for residents to figure it out. “Everybody knows everybody. It’s been kind of difficult to keep everything under wraps,” Cone said. The mayor said City Council members secretly discussed the deal with Miracle Whip during a closed session because secrecy was needed to achieve the surprise that Miracle Whip wants to capture. However, a closed session would seem to violate Florida’s Sunshine Law requiring meetings to be held publicly except under limited conditions, open-government advocate Barbara Petersen said. The town got its original name from a Confederate colonel, James Mayo, and it is the county seat of Lafayette County.

State awards medical marijuana licenses More than 1,600 people and businesses applied for Oklahoma medical marijuana licenses on the first day that applications were made available. The online application system went live at 10 a.m. Saturday at www.OMMA.ok.gov for all potential medical marijuana patients, growers, dispensaries, processors and caregivers. Oklahoma State Department of Health spokesman Tony Sellars said that by Saturday evening, the agency had received 1,054 patient, 634 business and three caregiver applications. Officials awarded 23 licenses to patients Saturday to test the approval process and will resume approving applications Monday, Sellars said. Sellars added that the state collected $1.5 million in application fees on Saturday. He said the application process has been running smoothly except for a minor glitch Saturday morning for some Yahoo and iCloud email users. Some applicants using those email services may not be receiving a courtesy confirmation email, though Sellars said the company that provided the application system was working to resolve the issue. By afternoon, Sellars said, the complaints had stopped.

N.M. lab contractor agrees to pay taxes SANTA FE, N.M. (AP) — A management group that will soon take over Los Alamos National Laboratory will pay gross receipts taxes, easing concerns that millions of dollars in revenue could evaporate if the group was deemed to have nonprofit status. A representative of Triad National Security LLC confirmed this week state officials responded to a recent inquiry saying they believed the tax would apply to Triad, The Santa Fe New Mexican reports. Nonprofits generally are exempt from gross receipts taxes on most of their business transactions. The tax makes up a major source of revenue that the state collects and shares with local governments. Triad is led by nonprofits — Texas A&M system, the University of California and the Ohio-based Battelle Memorial Institute. Scott Sudduth, assistant vice chancellor with the Office of Federal Relations for the Texas A&M University system, addressed the tax issue Wednesday during a meeting of community members. “I know how important tax issues are to the community,” Sudduth told the audience. Los Alamos County officials had previously said they could lose around $21 million annually and the state $23 million if Triad had nonprofit status. Triad will take over in November and will begin paying the tax, Sudduth said. Various Triad representatives said that the Los Alamos meeting was called to hear community concerns and develop a community commitment plan.

The reports, which appear to have originated on a South African satire site, are now being shared more widely on Facebook. The false information follows a tweet by Trump on Wednesday saying his administration would look into seizures of white-owned farms and the “large scale killing of farmers.” Trump tweeted after Fox News host Tucker Carlson
running for a U.S. Senate seat in Utah, made the comments during an appearance on CNN’s “AC360,” an apparent reference to Anderson Cooper 360. Romney is quoted as saying: “I think you’ve got a president who has some very serious emotional problems.” But Romney didn’t make the comments, Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders did during an appearance on Cooper’s show in December. Shimrit Sheetrit, public relations director for the show, said that “Mitt Romney hasn’t been on our show in many months.” ■■ Not real: “I am sending troops to South Africa, and they will not leave until the killings
claimed South Africa President Cyril Ramaphosa had already started “seizing the land from his own citizens without compensation because they are the wrong skin color.” An AP Fact Check found the number of murders on farms is down from 2001-2002 when police recorded 140 farm killings. South Africa has been looking into land expropriation and redistribution to black farmers as a way of righting the injustices of apartheid. No legislation has been put forward and there have been no government seizures of agricultural land. ■■ Not real: WestJet not giving out free coupons
The facts: WestJet Airlines is not giving out two free tickets to celebrate its birthday despite an offer circulating on social media. The scam asks users to fill out a survey to receive a pair of 332 remaining tickets. Afterward, users are asked to share the ad and type “Thanks for tickets #Westjet!” in the comments field. It then says users can click the “Claim Now” button to enter their personal details. The advertisement “is not a legitimate offer,” WestJet spokeswoman Morgan Bell told The Associated Press in an email. Bell said more information about dealing with scams is available on the airline’s advisory page.

Money, loyalty: A look inside Trump-Cohen rift By Jonathan Lemire Associated Press
NEW YORK — For Michael Cohen and Donald Trump, it’s always been about money and loyalty. Those were guiding principles for Cohen when he served as more than just a lawyer for Trump during the developer’s rise from celebrity to president-elect. Cohen brokered deals for the Trump Organization, profited handsomely from a side venture into New York City’s real estate and taxi industries and worked to make unflattering stories about Trump disappear. Money and loyalty also drove Cohen to make guilty pleas this past week in a spinoff from the swirling investigations battering the Trump White House. Feeling abandoned by Trump and in dire financial straits, the man who once famously declared that he would “take a bullet” for Trump now is pledging loyalty to his own family and actively seeking to cooperate with special counsel Robert Mueller’s investigation. The unraveling of their relationship was laid bare Tuesday when Cohen pleaded guilty to eight criminal charges and said in federal court that he broke campaign finance laws as part of a cover-up operation that Trump had directed. In the days after Cohen’s guilty plea, two close associates — the magazine boss who helped him squash bad stories and the top financial man at the president’s business — have been granted immunity for their cooperation. These moves could have a ripple effect on the legal fortunes of Cohen and, perhaps,

Michael Cohen leaves federal court in New York on April 26. President Donald Trump’s former personal lawyer secretly recorded Trump discussing payments to a former Playboy model who said she had an affair with him, The New York Times reported July 20. Trump. For years, Cohen was a fixture in Trump’s orbit. Working alongside Trump and Trump’s three adult children — Don Jr., Ivanka, Eric — in Trump Tower, Cohen took on a number of roles for the developer, including emissary for projects in foreign capitals and enforcer of Trump’s will. At times a bully for a family-run business, Cohen was known for his hot temper as he strongarmed city workers, reluctant business partners and reporters. He was there in the lobby of Trump Tower in June 2015 when his boss descended an escalator and changed history
by declaring his candidacy for president. But Cohen’s place in Trump’s political life ended up being peripheral. Cohen did become a reliable surrogate on cable TV — he created a viral moment by repeating “Says who?” when told Trump was down in the polls — and founded the candidate’s faith-based organization. But Cohen was never given a prominent spot in the campaign. And despite telling confidants that he thought he had a shot at White House chief of staff after the election, Cohen was never given a West Wing job. He remained in New York when Trump moved to Wash-
ington. Cohen found ways to profit from the arrangement, making millions from corporations by selling access to Trump, but felt adrift and isolated from Trump, according to two people familiar with his thinking who spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to discuss private conversations. But early one April morning, more than three dozen federal agents raided Cohen’s home, office and hotel room. A chief focus for investigators was Cohen’s role in making payments during Trump’s campaign to women who claimed they had sex with Trump, and
whether campaign finance laws were violated. In the fall of 2016, weeks before the election, Cohen had set up a limited liability company in Delaware to hide the deal he made to silence the pornographic film actress Stormy Daniels about an affair she said she had with Trump. Worry grew within the White House about what had been seized. That April day, Trump berated the raid as “an attack on all we stand for.” But then, in a “Fox & Friends” interview, Trump began to dramatically play down his relationship with Cohen. “I have nothing to do with his business,” Trump said, asserting that Cohen was just one of many lawyers and was responsible for “a tiny, tiny fraction” of Trump’s legal work. A dispute soon broke out between Cohen and Trump over who would pay the former fixer’s mounting legal bills. Holed up in a Park Avenue hotel after his apartment flooded, Cohen began to worry about his financial future, according to the two people. By all appearances, Cohen’s lifestyle was lavish. He bought a $6.7 million Manhattan apartment last fall, though the sale didn’t close until April and no one could move in until the summer. With bills piling up for his team of expensive lawyers, the suddenly unemployed Cohen began to tell confidants that he was worried about his job prospects and ability to support his family. Meanwhile, the broadsides from the White House kept coming. Trump and Cohen had long stopped speaking, but word
would get back to the lawyer that the president was belittling him. The president’s attorney and frequent attack dog Rudy Giuliani went from calling Cohen “an honest, honorable lawyer” in May to deriding him as a “pathological liar” in July. Cohen began wondering to friends whether loyalty with Trump had become a one-way street, the people said. Eager to hit back and attempt to regain some hold on the story, Cohen hired Lanny Davis, a former Bill Clinton attorney, to be his public relations lawyer. Davis began striking back at the White House and lobbed a clear warning shot at the president when he released a secret recording of a conversation in which Trump appears to have knowledge about hush-money payments to former Playboy model Karen McDougal, who also alleged an affair with the developer. Cohen was embraced by the cable news networks as an irresistible foil to Trump. Some on the left styled him as a star of the resistance. Cohen’s camp made some effort to play into the role, reaching out to Watergate whistleblower John Dean and, after Cohen’s plea, establishing an online fundraising tool that seemed to predominantly receive backing from liberals. Cohen, who could get about four years to five years in prison, is due to be sentenced Dec. 12. Davis has strongly telegraphed that Cohen is willing to cooperate with Mueller’s investigation. But a deal has yet to be struck and there are doubts about what Cohen can prove or whether the special counsel would want to rely on an untrustworthy witness.
Musk’s credibility takes hit By Tom Krisher AP Auto Writer
Noah Berger/AP file photo
Tesla CEO Elon Musk speaks with members of the media at the company’s headquarters in Palo Alto, Calif., in 2015. much they could sink into a private company. The episode drew attention from the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, which reportedly is investigating Tesla for possible manipulation of the stock price. At least two lawsuits seeking class-action status also have been filed alleging Musk broke securities laws by making it sound like financing for the buyout was lined up. James Cox, a Duke University professor who specializes in corporate governance and securities law, said regulations prohibit companies from making misleading statements that influence the markets. “The fact that he’s now backing off so quickly, within a matter of weeks, indicates the insincerity in which the first statement was made,” Cox said. While Musk disclosed the possible buy-back on Aug. 7, he didn’t reveal all contingencies including that the Saudi fund had to investigate, said Peter Henning, a Wayne State University law professor and former SEC attorney. “I think his most recent statement shows that this wasn’t thought through,” Henning said. “That’s going to be a concern for the SEC because that’s how investors can be misled, with incomplete information.” The SEC also is likely to look at Musk’s disclosure to some investors before others, which also is prohibited if there’s reason to believe the investors might trade stock based on the information, Cox said. Calling the whole thing off, though, might also be a defense for Musk, Henning said. “He could say I was just testing the waters. I was just thinking out loud, so I didn’t mean to mislead anyone on this.”
Normally, if a company was mulling a plan to go private, the CEO would notify the board and a process would be put in place to evaluate the move, Henning says. Lawyers would be involved and it would be disclosed in a filing with the SEC. Cox predicts that Tesla will settle with the SEC, pay a penalty and agree not to violate securities laws in the future. On top of all this drama, last week Musk disclosed in an interview with The New York Times that he was stressed out from trying to meet long-delayed production targets for the Model 3 mass-market electric car. He said he was working 120 hours a week and had to take Ambien to sleep.

DETROIT — First it was the shocking tweet that funding was secured and Tesla may go private, then a statement that the money wasn’t locked down after all. Two weeks later it’s never mind, the whole deal is off. Welcome to the disarray of Elon Musk, the impulsive genius and architect of cutting-edge car, rocket and solar panel companies built nearly from scratch. Chaos, though, comes with a price. Experts say it all could wind up with Tesla exposed to a fine for misleading investors. And even though Musk has almost legendary status, the episode could further erode his credibility with stakeholders who have endured multiple broken promises and years of losses as a public company. “Prior to the go-private episode, his credibility was in question, although investors still had overall confidence in the guy,” Erik Gordon, a business and law professor at the University of Michigan, said Saturday. “This whole go-private episode has taken his credibility close to zero.” The bizarre story began Aug. 7 when Musk, while driving to the airport, tweeted he was considering taking the company private and that funding had been secured for the deal. Investors would be paid $420 per share, a 23 percent premium over the Aug. 6 closing price. No other details were given, but Tesla’s stock shot up 11 percent that day. At $420, buying all Tesla shares would cost around $72 billion. Then, in a blog post six days later, Musk wrote the money wasn’t locked down, revealing that Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund was the source of the cash but was still doing due diligence. Musk said the Tesla board and some big investors had been told he was considering taking the company private before he tweeted that information. He said he tweeted the disclosure so everyone could have the information. Musk, who owns 20 percent of Tesla, also said he expected only a third of shareholders to sell, meaning the deal would be valued around $24 billion. Late Friday came a statement from Musk saying that after talking to investors, the plan to go private would be scrubbed. Big institutional investors told him they had limits on how

Democrats OK limiting leaders’ role in picking nominee By Bill Barrow and Sara Burnett Associated Press
CHICAGO — After two years of sometimes ugly public fighting, Democratic Party leaders on Saturday voted to limit their own high-profile roles in choosing presidential nominees, giving even more weight to the outcome of state primaries and caucuses. The debate over the influence of party insiders known as superdelegates was evidence of the fallout from the 2016 fight between eventual nominee Hillary Clinton and Vermont Sen. Bernie Sanders. His supporters accused the national party of tipping the scales in Clinton’s favor. The change, which affects
the hundreds of Democratic National Committee members, elected officials and party elders who attend presidential conventions as automatic delegates, was seen as a victory for the party chairman, Tom Perez. It comes with the November election nearing, when GOP control of Congress is at stake, and a potentially bruising nominating battle shaping up for 2020, when President Donald Trump is up for re-election. “We should never ever confuse unity and unanimity,” Perez said after the vote. “Today, demonstrated the values of the Democratic Party.” Under the new rules for 2020, superdelegates still will be automatic delegates to the
party’s convention. But they will not have a vote on the first presidential ballot if the convention remains contested, which is a distinct possibility given the number of Democrats considering running. Superdelegates would get to vote on any subsequent rounds of voting, though the Democratic nomination has been settled on the first ballot of every convention since the 1970s, when the modern system of primaries and caucuses was established. The change was approved by acclamation. The key procedural vote before that showed the overhaul had 329.5 “yes” votes to 106.5 votes in opposition. The approval drew a standing ovation from progressive
activists, many of them among the Sanders supporters who had cited superdelegates as the personification of establishment favoritism toward Clinton. “This is a great day for America and for the party,” said Jeff Weaver, Sanders’ 2016 campaign manager. “When you have a system subject to gaming, there is incentive to game it. To the extent the system can’t be gamed, you have more credibility with voters.” In a written statement, Sanders called the move “an important step forward in making the Democratic Party more open, democratic and responsive to the input of ordinary Americans.” Perez said settling the issue means the party can focus exclu-
sively on the November election, when Democrats are aiming to reclaim majorities on Capitol Hill and regain power in statehouses around the country. Beyond changing the rules for superdelegates, the overhaul is intended to make vote-counting at presidential preference caucuses more transparent and make it easier for voters other than longtime registered Democrats to participate in caucuses and primaries. That could affect states such as Iowa, which might have to develop paper ballots for caucus sites instead of its usual method of sorting into groups and counting heads. New York, meanwhile, would be pressured to relax its party registration
deadline, which in 2016 fell six months before the primary, leaving many independents who wanted to back Sanders no option to vote. But it was the superdelegate matter that met fierce opposition from some party leaders, including two former national heads, Donna Brazile and Don Fowler, both longtime allies of Hillary Clinton and former President Bill Clinton. Fowler, Brazile and other opponents cast the efforts as punishing rank-and-file party leaders incorrectly perceived as party bosses trying to override the will of voters. Even Perez noted that superdelegates have never overturned the cumulative results of primaries.
Burning Man stresses importance of consent RENO, Nev. (AP) — The #MeToo movement is making its way to Burning Man. Event organizers are reminding attendees that just because the counter-culture festival in the Nevada desert is known for occasional nudity and kinky landmarks like the “Orgy Dome,” it doesn’t mean it’s a free-for-all when it comes to touching or nonconsensual sex, the Reno Gazette Journal reported. This year’s event started this weekend. While the festival doesn’t have official guidelines, it does have a set of informal rules. Tex Allen, a 13-year Burner, doubts many newcomers to the playa are reading those. The festival’s on-site Sexual Assault Services department receives five to 20 reports of alleged sexual assault each year, said Burning Man spokesman Jim Graham. Many of those reports involve leering or grabbing, which aren’t considered sexual assault under Nevada law.
A few reports each year require involvement from law enforcement. Last year, two people were arrested on suspicion of sexual assault without substantial bodily harm. No arrests related to sexual assault or rape were made the year before. Despite the low arrests, Donna Rae Watson, director of the Bureau of Erotic Discourse, a large camp at Burning Man that teaches people about sex, still hears stories of harassment at the festival from dozens of people each year. “Scandalous costumes and nudity might be considered inviting. (Others) automatically think consent is implied, but implied consent doesn’t exist,” she said. The organization is doing more to educate participants about consent, what it means and what it applies to. Watson said her group was founded in 2005 after a woman was sexually assaulted at the festival the previous year.

Want to catch up on the highlights from Andrew Torget’s class? Luckily, Caitlyn Jones took notes. Read her massive Twitter thread at twitter.com/CjonesDRC.
History evidence from volunteer witnesses is sent off to the Guinness people, but UNT Libraries officials say he set the record when he hit 24 hours at 9 a.m. Saturday. His record attempt also managed to raise more than $12,000 in donations for the university’s Portal to Texas History digital archive. In the audience, I was composing the world’s longest Twitter thread from Torget’s lecture. I just didn’t have the foresight to tell Guinness. I had taken a history class with Torget when I was a student at UNT but could never snag a spot in his Texas history class. The 30 or so students seated in an area called the “snake pit” were luckier than I was. At least 10 of them had to stay awake for Torget’s attempt to count. A few dozed off and got disqualified, but most hung on. Witnesses also had to see them asking questions and engaging the professor. “Once it gets past midnight, the signals in your brain tell you to sleep but you have to tune them out,” senior Jose Huichapa said. A long-distance runner, Torget understands stamina and has been prepping for this challenge for a year. He boiled his 14-week class down to 1,600 PowerPoint slides and 500 pages of notes. He said he cut caffeine out of his diet six months ago and tries to keep his vocal cords hydrated. His wife, a speech pathologist, acted as his
coach while his two kids served as his inspiration. Once the lecture got rolling, Torget managed to hit everything from the Karankawa Indians to Quanah Parker, the colonies to cotton, the comebacks of Santa Anna to the rise of Ku Klux Klan. Torget spent his biggest chunk of time dedicated to the mythic period of the Texas Revolution, detailing each day of the Siege of the Alamo. He was able was to demystify the Republic of Texas for people like me, whose sense of state pride is deeply rooted in its independence. “Everywhere I’ve lived, and I’ve lived a lot of places, there’s a moment in history that people who live there strongly identify with,” he said during the lecture. “That moment in Texas is the Republic of Texas. What I find incredible is that people don’t really know what happened.” Around noon Friday, Toget took off his shoes and started pacing the stage in green-toed socks. At 10 that night, he rubbed his eyes briefly. When a 3 a.m. break came around, I caught a glimpse of exhaustion cross his face as he bit into a piece of fruit and stared into the distance. It mirrored my own weariness. If Torget’s throat did start to hurt, there was no indication when he got

His voice never wavered, floating clearly across the space with an ever-present hint of enthusiasm. Torget made it to the start of the 1940s. Just as Franklin D. Roosevelt was about to start his third term as president, Torget put down his clicker
and stated simply, “I think I’m done for the day.” He was met with a standing ovation. Somehow, we had all made it, not because we wrote down names and dates, but because someone told us a tale.
“I was into the story,” he said. “I could spend time getting into whatever historical moment we were in and pull through. That’s what kept me going.” CAITLYN JONES can be reached at 940-566-6862 and via Twitter at @CjonesDRC.

McCain fighter-pilot moxie, was a fearless and outspoken voice on policy and politics to the end, unswerving in his defense of democratic values and unflinching in his criticism of his fellow Republican, President Donald Trump. He was elected to the Senate from Arizona six times but twice thwarted in seeking the presidency. An upstart presidential bid in 2000 didn’t last long. Eight years later, he fought back from the brink of defeat to win the GOP nomination, only to be overpowered by Democrat Barack Obama. McCain chose a little-known Alaska governor as his running mate in that race, and turned Sarah Palin into a national political figure. After losing to Obama in an electoral landslide, McCain returned to the Senate determined not to be defined by a failed presidential campaign in which his reputation as a maverick had faded. In the politics of the moment and in national political debate over the decades, McCain energetically advanced his ideas and punched back hard at critics — Trump not least among them. The scion of a decorated military family, McCain embraced his role as chairman of the Armed Services Committee, pushing for aggressive U.S. military intervention overseas and eager to contribute to “defeating the forces of radical Islam that want to destroy America.” Asked how he wanted to be remembered, McCain said simply: “That I made a major contribution to the defense of the nation.” One dramatic vote he cast in the twilight of his career in 2017 will not soon be forgotten, either: As the decisive “no” on Senate GOP legislation to repeal the Affordable Care Act, McCain became the unlikely savior of Obama’s trademark legislative achievement. Taking a long look back in his valedictory memoir, The Restless Wave, McCain wrote of the world he inhabited: “I hate to leave it. But I don’t have a complaint. Not one. It’s been quite a ride. I’ve known great passions, seen amazing wonders, fought in a war, and helped make a peace. ... I made a small place for myself in the story of America and the history of my times.” Throughout his long tenure in Congress, McCain played his role with trademark verve, at one hearing dismissing a protester by calling out, “Get out of here, you lowlife scum.” But it was just as notable when he held his sharp tongue, in service of a party or political gain. Most remarkably, he stuck by Trump as the party’s 2016 presidential nominee even when Trump questioned his status as a war hero by saying: “I like people who weren’t captured.” McCain declared the comment offensive to veterans, but urged the men “put it behind us and

McCain withdrew his support and said he’d write in “some good conservative Republican who’s qualified to be president.” By the time McCain cast his vote against the GOP health bill, six months into Trump’s presidency, the two men were openly at odds. Trump railed against McCain publicly over the vote, and McCain remarked that he no longer listened to what Trump had to say because “there’s no point in it.” By then, McCain had disclosed his brain cancer diagnosis and returned to Arizona to seek treatment. His vote to kill the GOP’s years long Obamacare repeal drive — an issue McCain himself had campaigned on — came not long after the diagnosis, a surprising capstone to his legislative career. In his final months, McCain did not go quietly, frequently jabbing at Trump and his policies from the remove of his Hidden Valley family retreat in Arizona. He opposed the president’s nominee for CIA director because of her past role in overseeing torture, scolded Trump for alienating U.S. allies at an international summit, labeled the administration’s zero-tolerance immigration policy “an affront to the decency of the American people” and denounced the Trump-Putin summit in Helsinki as a “tragic mistake” in which the president put on “one of the most disgraceful performances by an American president in memory.” On Aug. 13, Trump signed into law a $716 billion defense policy bill named in honor of
the senator. Trump signed the John S. McCain National Defense Authorization Act in a ceremony at a military base in New York — without one mention of McCain. John Sidney McCain III was born in 1936 in the Panana Canal zone, where his father was stationed in the military. He followed his father and grandfather, the Navy’s first father-and-son set of four-star admirals, to the Naval Academy, where he enrolled in what he described a “four-year course of insubordination and rebellion.” His family yawned at the performance. A predilection for what McCain described as “quick tempers, adventurous spirits, and love for the country’s uniform” was encoded in his family DNA. On October 1967, McCain was on his 23rd bombing round over North Vietnam when he was shot out of the sky and taken prisoner. Year upon year of solitary confinement, deprivation, beatings and other acts of torture left McCain so despairing that at one point he weakly attempted suicide. But he also later wrote that his captors had spared him the worst of the abuse inflicted on POWs because his father was a famous admiral. “I knew that my father’s identity was directly related to my survival,” he wrote in one of his books. When McCain’s Vietnamese captors offered him early release as a propaganda ploy, McCain refused to play along, insisting that those captured first should be the first set free. In his darkest hour in Vietnam, McCain’s will had been broken and he signed a confession that said, “I am a black criminal and I have performed deeds of an air pirate.” Even then, though, McCain

And, to the end of his captivity, he continued to exasperate his captors with his defiance. Throughout, McCain played to the bleachers, shouting obscenities at guards to bolster the spirits of fellow captives. Appointed by the POWs to act as camp entertainment officer, chaplain and communications chief, McCain imparted comic relief, literary tutorials, news of the day, even religious sustenance. Bud Day, a former cellmate
and Medal of Honor winner, said McCain’s POW experience “took some great iron and turned him into steel.” McCain returned home from his years as a POW on crutches and never regained full mobility in his arms and leg. He once said he’d “never known a prisoner of war who felt he could fully explain the experience to anyone who had not shared it.” Still he described the time as formative and “a bit of a turning point in me appreciating the value of serving a cause greater than your self-interest.” But it did not tame his wild side, and his first marriage, to
Carol Shepp, was a casualty of what he called “my greatest moral failing.” The marriage to Shepp, who had been in a crippling car accident while McCain was imprisoned, ended amiably. McCain admitted the breakup was caused by “my own selfishness and immaturity.” One month after his divorce, McCain in 1981 married Cindy Hensley, the daughter of a wealthy beer distributor in Arizona. In one day, McCain signed his Navy discharge papers and flew west with his new wife to a new life. By 1982, he’d been elected to the House and four years later to an open Senate seat. He and Cindy had four children, to add to three from his first marriage. Their youngest was adopted from Bangladesh. McCain cultivated a conservative voting record and a reputation as a tightwad with taxpayer dollars. But just months into his Senate career, he made what he called “the worst mistake” of his life. He participated in two meetings with bank regulators on behalf of Charles Keating, a friend, campaign contributor and savings and loan financier later convicted of securities fraud. As the industry collapsed, McCain was tagged as one of the Keating Five — senators who, to varying degrees, were accused of trying to get regulators to ease up on Keating. McCain was cited by the Senate Ethics Committee for “poor judgment.” To have his honor questioned, he said, was in some ways worse than the torture he endured in Vietnam. In the 1990s, McCain shouldered another wrenching issue, the long effort to account for American soldiers still missing from the war and to normalize relations with Vietnam. “People don’t remember how ugly the POW-MIA issue was,” former Democratic Sen. Bob Kerrey, a fellow Vietnam veteran, later recalled in crediting McCain for standing up to significant opposition. “I heard people scream in his face, holding him responsible for the deaths of POWs.” Over three decades in the Senate, McCain became a standard-bearer for reforming campaign donations. He denounced pork-barrel spending for legislators’ pet projects and cultivated a reputation as a deficit hawk and an independent voice. His experience as a POW made him a leading voice against the use of torture. He achieved his biggest legislative successes when making alliances with Democrats. McCain never softened on his opposition to the U.S. use of torture, even in the recalibrations of the post-9/11 world. When the Senate in 2014 released a report on the CIA’s harsh interrogation techniques at secret overseas facilities after the 9/11 attacks, McCain said the issue wasn’t “about our enemies. It’s about us. It’s about who we were, who we are and who we aspire to be. It’s about how we represent ourselves to the world.”

Smatresk: UNT’s culture changing
T
here’s an air of accomplishment carried by the breeze along the 1500 block of Chestnut Street. Coming out of the summer break, University of North Texas President Neal Smatresk is motivated, as he is every fall, for the forward progress of a new academic year. But this year, he doesn’t have to look hard to witness that progress. Not far from the Hurley Administration Building, near the intersection of Avenue A and Eagle Drive, the Joe Greene residence hall is quickly going up, with an expected opening for fall 2019. Over on West Mulberry Street, the College of Visual Arts and Design is expanding to include additional classrooms, computer laboratories, teaching labs, study areas, seminar rooms, art galleries, student exhibition spaces and critique areas. And across Interstate 35E, Apogee Stadium is sporting new turf while a new track and field and soccer complex is constructed on the Eagle Point site south of the existing Warranch Tennis Complex. A day before the start of the fall semester, Smatresk has good reason to be excited for what the new academic year holds. In addition to 13 active construction projects on campus, the new semester will field the largest freshman class in UNT’s history — immediately following the university’s largest graduating class of 9,344. At the same time, several programs at the university are making national lists, with the communication design and fashion programs being ranked among the nation’s best. But what has Smatresk most excited is the culture change he now sees taking hold, four years after he first began planting the seeds. The UNT president this past week addressed the Denton Record-Chronicle‘s Editorial Board, sharing many of the university endeavors he will highlight during his annual State of the University address on Sept. 13. UNT is now embracing its status as the most creative university in Texas, Smatresk says. Toward that end, a new kind of thinking is encouraged that focuses on where industries and the economy are going. “What does the profession need?” Smatresk says is the key question now being asked within the varying colleges at UNT. “What are the needs of the employers? The needs of the students?” This forward-thinking mindset then guides how UNT is adapting to better position itself for the creative economy, including branding and marketing. It also impacts research programs, digital hires, analytics and computer science. The end result, Smatresk says, is a core of people passionate about innovation and future opportunities. Yes, there is much to be excited about at UNT — a new semester beginning amid historic growth and unprecedented opportunity. We look forward, as always, to the bustle on campus and being witness to the dividends brought forward through a changing culture.
This day in history: August 26 Today is Sunday, Aug. 26, the 238th day of 2018. There are 127 days left in the year. On August 26, 1957, the Soviet Union announced it successfully had tested an intercontinental ballistic missile. In 55 B.C., Roman forces under Julius Caesar invaded Britain, with only limited success. In 1883, the island volcano Krakatoa began cataclysmic eruptions, leading to a massive explosion the following day. In 1910, Thomas Edison demonstrated for reporters an improved version of his Kinetophone, a device for showing a movie with synchronized sound. In 1920, the 19th Amendment to the U.S. Constitution, guaranteeing American women’s right to vote, was certified in effect by Secretary of State Bainbridge Colby.
In 1944, French Gen. Charles de Gaulle braved the threat of German snipers as he led a victory march in Paris, which had just been liberated by the Allies from Nazi occupation. In 1958, Alaskans went to the polls to overwhelmingly vote in favor of statehood. In 1964, President Lyndon B. Johnson was nominated for a term of office in his own right at the Democratic National Convention in Atlantic City, New Jersey. In 1968, the Democratic National Convention opened in Chicago; the four-day event that resulted in the nomination of Hubert H. Humphrey for president was marked by a bloody police crackdown on antiwar protesters in the streets. — The Associated Press

North Texas has erred in dropping fiber arts T he following is my opinion based on what information has been made publicly available, after consultation with professor Amie Adelman, program coordinator of fibers, and other faculty and students, past and present: As a recently retired member of the faculty at the University of North Texas’ College of Visual Arts and Design, I was saddened, disappointed and a little angry with the decision to discontinue the Studio Art Department’s concentration in fibers. And after reading the memo from the dean and communicating with Adelman, I can’t help but believe that this decision had little, if anything, to do with space availability alone. The space was there for fibers for over 60 years, so why is it that suddenly there is no room for this internationally respected program? In the present design of the new and old art buildings, some program areas have more space than they ever did before, so I assume it is a matter of someone establishing priorities that determined that fibers was not deserving of a place in the college. I can imagine three scenarios for this determination. The first is that the upper administration of the university directed the dean to get rid of a program in order to save money or because the required space would be allocated to other programs, determining that fibers was less significant than other areas of study and research. Since enrollment in fibers was fairly strong, the number of internships the faculty had established, and the record of the number of graduates from fibers who attained employment in the field (emphasized as important to the university) was inspiring, I can only think that the male-dominated positions of power at the university could not comprehend the value of fibers. Even if this were the case, that the university administration insisted on cuts in space or spending, it is the duty of the dean to impress upon the administration how important each of the programs in the college are, and how each area supports and enhances the performance of all the others. I saw no evidence that this was a long struggle that included the faculty, students and alumni and that the dean “went to the mat” for fibers. The second possible scenario, in my opinion, was that there was an attitude within the college’s administration that fibers was not as deserving of support as the other programs in the College of Visual Arts and Design. It does seem curious that the
Harlan Butt
only area chosen for elimination is “one that clearly holds an important and influential role in history across cultures and the lives of women.” To say this is “heartbreaking” smacks of insincerity when it is prefaced with the act of closing it down without discussion, debate and a chance for fibers to make its case for continuation. The “extensive analysis and painstaking deliberation” seems to have been conducted in secrecy and without consulting the parties most affected by the decision. The third scenario, and possibly the most likely in my opinion, is that there was a massive miscalculation in the planning process for the new building and the use of the existing one. I mentioned earlier that the decision to eliminate the fibers program had little or nothing to do with space availability, but since there were committees working for over two years on space planning, why would it become public only now that the space wasn’t available for one program? Were there cost overruns? Were there programs demanding additional space? Were there areas that were originally promised space elsewhere that were later included into the new building? Were the other buildings on campus that were assumed to be available to the CVAD taken away at the last minute? If this is the case, I have to say that someone needs to take responsibility for this travesty, especially since faculty and students, the reputation of the CVAD and the university will suffer because of this massive blunder. Perhaps I am old-fashioned, but in my opinion, the buck stops with the dean. He could have shown better leadership in protecting our college and the reputation that has been established over many decades, long before he was hired. In fact, each of these scenarios reflects back on the performance of Dean Greg Watts, and if this act of eliminating the fibers program is due to his lack of courage in representing the college to the upper administration, ignorance of the importance not only of fibers as a program but its integration into the overall creative and scholastic goals of the CVAD, a bias against an area whose origins can be traced back to women-centered craft practices, or a colossal error in strategic planning, professor Watts needs to admit his failure and step down as dean of the College of Visual Arts and Design so that someone more capable can take his place and avoid further damage to our programming, the college and the university.

Letters to the editor US is democracy-flavored
Fascism is a term used mostly by leftists against opponents. We hear it lately when so-called antifascists take to the streets against Trump supporters. Mussolini originated the term, and it sort of means a strongman leader plus nationalism, militarism and political violence. Antifascism was first applied by communists to Italy, Spain and Germany when Bolshevism was being beaten there. Examples include Mussolini’s Italy, Franco’s Spain and Nazi Germany, but somehow not North Korea, China, Cuba or Stalinist Russia, which are leftists’ darlings. The earliest might have been Napoleon’s France. Or imperial Rome. Or most of the monarchies of history, so the term really isn’t helpful. The U.S. currently doesn’t fit the pattern well, even though it’s militaristic and nationalistic, because it’s democracy-flavored but controlled by special interests. The U.S. hasn’t quite developed widespread political violence, but it seemingly could, and there could be a civil war followed by either Bolshevism or fascism, depending on who prevails. The individual may not perceive much difference. Dr. Stuart Crane, of decades ago, considered both left and right to be totalitar-

et us gather together, fellow political buffs, and speculate. You in? A new poll says Republican Ted Cruz and Democrat Beto O’Rourke are just four percentage points apart in the race for U.S. Senate. It follows a slew of polls with single-digit differences between the incumbent and the challenger — an accumulation of flashing yellow lights that has some Republicans spooked and some Democrats dreaming. The Texas Tribune’s Abby Livingston wrote up the details of the new NBC News/ Marist Poll, and the Trib’s Alex Samuels recently caught a netful of Texas polls and asked some experts what they all mean. But this isn’t about the polls. This is about what a close race might mean. Texas is set to ditch its straight-ticket voting option in 2020, but it will still be available to voters this November. In the state’s 10 biggest counties, nearly two-thirds of voters cast their ballots by pulling a party lever instead of working their way down the ballot, race by race. That means a close race at the top of the ballot — the so-called marquee race that voters are paying attention to — could produce a different coattail effect than a landslide would. It’s the “rising tide lifts all boats” idea. If one party gets a landslide in a place, like Texas, with straight-party voting, down-ballot candidates can benefit from their marquee candidate’s performances. But even when the top candidates fall short — if their losses are narrow enough — they can make it rain for the candidates downstream. That happens, to some extent, even in elections when there’s no straight-ticket voting; the parties of many past presidents have suffered losses in midterm elections like this one because voters wanted to send a message to the fellow in the White House. And gubernatorial races at the top can have a trickle-down. In 1998, George W. Bush buried Democrat Garry Mauro, with 68 percent of the vote to Mauro’s 31 percent. That left at least two statewide Democratic candidates — John Sharp and Paul Hobby — wondering what might have been. Sharp finished 68,731 votes — out of 3.7 million votes cast — behind Rick Perry in the race for lieutenant governor. Hobby’s miss in his bid for comptroller was even smaller; just 20,223 separated him from the winner, Carole Keeton Rylander. What if Bush hadn’t provided that big cushion? Four years earlier, Bush defeated incumbent Ann Richards by fewer than eight percentage points. Democrats won the next five statewide races on the ballot. Republicans have dominated Texas politics ever since, often by big margins. But the polling in this year’s U.S. Senate race encourages speculation. Even if Republicans continue their winning streak, a fivepoint win could play differently down-ballot than a more typical 20-point win. A Republican congressman in a swing district — Will Hurd of Helotes — or in a district that’s hotly contested — a group that includes Pete Sessions of Dallas, John Culberson of Houston and, perhaps, John Carter of Georgetown — could be jeopardized by the thin air cover from the Senate race. Hurd’s is a true swing district, winnable by candidates from either party. Notably, he’s alone among Republicans in the Texas congressional delegation in putting some daylight between himself and the Trump administration. He was also half of that Facebook buddy flick with O’Rourke last year, when the two livestreamed a cross-country road trip, talking about politics. If the Senate race one notch above him on the ballot is tight, all of that could be important insulation against Democrat Gina Ortiz Jones and Libertarian Ruben Corvalan. Sessions and Culberson are in different territory, defending historically safe Republican districts against vigorous challenges from well-financed Democrats. Sessions’ opponents are Democrat Colin Allred and Libertarian Melina Baker; Culberson will face Democrat Lizzie Pannill Fletcher in November. The outcomes depend on many variables: who turns out voters, whose ads are more effective, Trump’s popularity and so on. The race above them is another of those. Democrats want O’Rourke to win the top race, of course — they’re Democrats. But if he loses, they at least want a close race. That could create some wins for candidates lower on the ballot — and give political speculators something to talk about. ROSS RAMSEY is executive editor and co-founder of The Texas Tribune.

Council the work session, and from subsequent posts on social media about it from newly elected council member Deb Armintor. “Part of my job is to engage citizens about what is coming up and what is being proposed,” Briggs said. “I didn’t see any issue with it, and it frustrates me that you did.” “I’m with you,” Armintor said to Briggs. The exchange was part of a broader discourse during a City Council retreat about team building and leadership. City leaders have a retreat every year in an effort to overcome their differences and meet the goals they have for Denton. Armintor already has garnered a reputation among the council and city staff for taking complaints from community members and zealously seeking answers of city staff in emails. She is active on social media, engaging citizens directly about issues that she thinks need solving. Watts said he doesn’t have a problem with council members being close with residents. But he asked that council members refrain from calling out other members in their social media posts. Officials also brought up how council members relay public

complaints of city services to city staff. Todd Hileman, the Denton city manager, talked about how city leaders are working with staff to be more confident when they give presentations or prepare agenda for council meetings or work sessions. A major obstacle to building confidence,

Hileman said, is when a council member receives a complaint from a citizen, and then the council member turns around and demands answers from city staff. “It’s up to you to partner with me to create that environment [of confidence],” Hileman said.

like economic development, housing, zoning and other officials as they chart Denton’s path forward. Virginia Beach Deputy Police Chief Patrick Gallagher said he has experience with addressing the “conditions that lead to criminality and social disorder.” Corpus Christi Assistant Police Chief Mark Schauer wrote about a survey he launched that gathered input from people concerning their quality of life in his community. Cleveland Spruill is currently working for Huntersville, North Carolina, a community that is projecting “robust growth” through 2030. As Denton’s population swells and new developments sprout, it is clear that city officials are looking to hire a police chief who will help usher Denton into its new identity. “We’re starting to find ourselves,” City Manager Todd Hileman said. “That’s where having developed skills in a large organization helps us. What do we want to look like in the future?” The community will be part of the interview process. There will be a public reception for residents and business leaders to meet each of the finalists this week. The reception will be from 7 to 8:30 p.m. Thursday at the Public Safety Training Center, 719 E. Hickory St. Hileman said he and city officials will watch how each of the finalists interacts with people. He also said city officials will seek feedback from people on how they feel about each of the finalists. That feedback will factor into who Hileman ultimately hires, he said. Schauer was not initially included among the six finalists. Hileman said the city chose about eight finalists but an-
nounced only six. When Kevin Kolbye, the assistant chief in Arlington, told Denton officials that he was dropping out of consideration for personal reasons, it gave Hileman and his colleagues a chance to bring in another qualified applicant. A key aspect of building Denton’s future, Hileman said, is developing long-term relationships with groups of people who are traditionally underserved by the police. Gallagher made the strongest case for minority relations. He talked about how he implemented an LGBTQ liaison for his department. He also mentioned how his department has tried to educate Hispanic and Latino people in his community on how they should expect to be treated by the police. He also conveyed his experience working with the mentally ill, the homeless and immigrants. In his cover letter, Temple Police Chief Floyd Mitchell took a more authoritative approach to community relations. He said if he were hired, he would emphasize to the department that working with the public is “paramount to manage today’s instant social climate.” Most of the final six joined the vast majority of the candidates overall in writing about their experience with reorganizing police departments. Hileman said he didn’t really care about that. He focused more on the candidates’ reputations for working with the police they manage rather than ordering them around. “There are a lot of ideas right now in the police department,” he said. “We want somebody who will listen to them.” DALTON LAFERNEY can be reached at 940-566-6882 and via Twitter at @daltonlaferney.
and resumes for the open position of police chief in to Denton City Manager Todd Hileman. The average career span of all the applicants is 26 years in law enforcement. Many are police chiefs, many are from Texas and fewer than five are women. Hileman and his hiring consultant narrowed the field down to an initial 25 candidates. They interviewed all of them, he said, before slicing it down to about eight, announcing last week the top six, who will be interviewed before the end of August. The Denton Record-Chronicle analyzed all 111 of the applicants’ materials, finding a few trends among the rejects that help contextualize what city officials are looking for as they pick a new police chief. The most glaring observation was the city was not interested in hiring officers who work for college police departments, grade-school campuses or corporate security teams. At least a dozen candidates were either currently employed by an institution, such as Texas State University or Wilmer-Hutchins High School in Dallas ISD. One applicant said he was chief of the security force at the Bell Helicopter campus in Fort Worth. Others were in security consulting work. Most every one of these types were turned away. Some came with heroic stories, such as one New Jersey man who wrote about his work in the aftermath of 9/11, helping to evacuate areas surrounding New York City. Another applicant was Andre Anderson, who served as an interim police chief in Ferguson, Missouri, after the U.S. Department of Justice found the department policed the community with a culture of racism following the police-

The culture of confidence inside City Hall was already damaged before Armintor arrived. Without going into much detail, several members of council and staff said as much. Rick Robinson, the consultant running Saturday’s team-building exercises, ob-

There were several candidates with long careers with the FBI, U.S. Homeland Security and the Drug Enforcement Agency. “It was more at looking at folks who had experience in similar-sized or larger departments,” Hileman said. “If they had experience with state or federal, that didn’t really factor in too much.” Dozens of applicants either work or at one time worked for the Dallas Police Department.

After Hileman addressed the issue of emails being forwarded via council members from citizens, Briggs said she does her best to make it clear that the complaints she has received are not hers and that she is generally interested in finding an answer to public questions. “Because those emails are forwarded, it doesn’t necessarily mean I take that position” of what’s in the complainant’s email, she said.

Pope in Ireland decries abuse cover-up, meets with victims Tepid reception, protests awaited Pope Francis By Nicole Winfield and Maria Grazia Murru Associated Press
DUBLIN — Pope Francis faced a lukewarm reception and scattered protests Saturday on his trip to Ireland, with even his vow to rid the church of the “scourge” of sexual abuse and his outrage at those “repugnant crimes” dismissed as a disappointment by some of Ireland’s wounded victims. But others who met with him in private left heartened that he would respond to their plight, including two of the thousands of children who were forcibly put up for adoption for the shame of having been born to unwed mothers. They said Francis described the corruption and cover-up in the church as “caca” — translated by the Vatican translator for the English speakers as “filth as one sees in the toilet.” The abuse scandal — which has exploded anew in the U.S. but has convulsed Ireland since the 1990s with revelations of unfathomable violence and humiliation against women and children — took center stage on the first day of Francis’ two-day trip. The visit was originally intended to celebrate Catholic families. Francis responded to the outcry by vowing to end sex abuse and cover-up during a speech to Irish government authorities at Dublin Castle. “The failure of ecclesiastical authorities — bishops, religious superiors, priests and others — to adequately address these repugnant crimes has rightly given rise to outrage, and remains a source of pain and shame for the Catholic community,” he told them. “I myself share these sentiments.” He cited measures taken by his predecessor, Pope Benedict XVI, to respond to the crisis. But while Benedict is credited with cracking down on abusers,

Pope Francis walks upon his arrival at the presidential residence in Dublin, Ireland, on Saturday. He is on a two-day visit to Ireland.
“The failure of the ecclesiastical authorities — bishops, religious superiors, priests and others — to adequately address these repugnant crimes has rightly given rise to outrage, and remains a source of pain and shame for the Catholic community.” — Pope Francis
he never acknowledged the Vatican’s role in fueling a culture of cover-up or sanctioned bishops for failing to protect their flocks from predator priests. Francis followed his promise with a 90-minute meeting with eight survivors of both clerical and institutional abuse and prayed quietly before a candle lit for victims in Dublin’s cathedral. But neither his words nor the meeting with victims is likely to assuage demands for heads to roll. “Disappointing, nothing new,” was the reaction from Irish abuse survivor Marie Collins, a former member of Francis’ sex abuse advisory panel who quit last year in frustration. She later took part in Francis’ meeting with seven other abuse
survivors, including two priests and a public official. Colm O’Gorman, who is leading a solidarity rally on Sunday in Dublin for abuse victims, said Francis’ remarks about sharing the shame felt by Catholics were an “insult to faithful Catholics, who have no reason to feel shame because of the crimes of the Vatican and the institutional church.” The reception that Francis received in Dublin contrasted sharply with the raucous, rock star welcome that greeted St. John Paul II in 1979 in the first-ever papal visit here. No one from the public was at the airport or the roads nearby when Francis arrived Saturday and the streets near a churchrun homeless shelter that Fran-
cis visited were practically empty despite barricades designed to hold back crowds. At one protest, people tossed baby shoes to remind the pope of the poor treatment the Catholic Church doled out to the children of unwed mothers. Crowds did throng Francis’ popemobile route and gathered outside Dublin’s cathedral, basking in the sunny weather, and a stadium was nearly full for his evening vigil to close out the church’s family rally. And two of the Irish adoptees said they were heartened Francis said he would address their concerns at Mass on Sunday. They are asking him to publicly state that their mothers had done nothing wrong and to encourage reconciliation between all unwed mothers, many of them now aged, who were forced by society and the church to give up their children. Paul Redmond, who was born in a home and given up for adoption at 17 days, urged the pope to publicly call on the six orders of Catholic nuns who ran the homes to accept responsibility for the traumas they caused,
issue an apology, and pay for the costs of inquiries. “The pope did apologize to all of us for what happened in the homes,” he said. The coalition of survivors of mother and baby homes estimates 100,000 single mothers were forcibly separated from their babies and that 6,000 babies died at the homes. Deeply Catholic Ireland has had one of the world’s worst records of clergy sex abuse and crimes that were revealed to its 4.8 million people over the past decade by government-mandated inquiries. The reviews concluded that thousands of children were raped or molested by priests or physically abused in church-run schools — and Irish bishops worked for years to hide those crimes. After the Irish church enacted tough new reforms to fight abuse, it had been looking to the first visit by a pope in 39 years to show a different, more caring church. More than 37,000 people, most of them young Catholics, signed up to attend a Vatican-sponsored World Meeting of Families that ends Sunday in Dublin, more than twice the
R
number of a rally in Philadelphia three years ago. Francis urged the Irish to recognize that for all its failings, the Catholic Church educated and cared for generations of Irish children in times of famine and great poverty. Irish Prime Minister Leo Varadkar concurred, saying the church stepped in to care for Irish children when the state did not. But in his speech at Dublin Castle, he said both church and state had a history of “sorrow and shame,” and he urged the pope to ensure that victims of sex abuse find “justice and truth and healing.” Varadkar cited the recent Pennsylvania grand jury report, which found 300 priests had abused more than 1,000 children over 70 years in six dioceses, in urging Francis to “ensure that from words flow actions.” “In recent weeks, we have all listened to heart-breaking stories from Pennsylvania of brutal crimes perpetrated by people within the Catholic Church, and then obscured to protect the institution at the expense of innocent victims,” Varadkar said. “It’s a story all too tragically familiar here in Ireland.”

As Ohio State opener nears, talk is not about football By Mitch Stacy
College football
Associated Press
COLUMBUS, Ohio — A week before Ohio State’s season opener, few in Columbus have been able to focus on football. Not many are talking about the new starting quarterback or how to best use the two elite running backs. Instead, the discussion has been about domestic violence, misplaced loyalty, lying and how much a football coach at a major university is expected to know about the personal lives of his assistants. It has been a preseason unlike any other in Columbus. On Aug. 1, two days before practice opened, coach Urban Meyer was put on paid leave and the university began an investigation into his handling of domestic violence allegations against receivers coach Zach Smith from his
Ohio State
now ex-wife. That situation came to a head Wednesday night. After nearly 11 hours of discussions, the board of trustees handed down a three-game suspension for Meyer. A two-week investigation concluded the superstar coach needed to be punished for tolerating Smith’s bad behavior for so long. Smith is the grandson of former Ohio State coach and Meyer mentor Earle Bruce. After Wednesday’s news conference, Meyer was criticized for his response to a question about Zach Smith’s ex-wife, Courtney. On Friday, Meyer issued a statement apologizing directly to her. Meyer, who is 73-8 in six seasons at Ohio State, will be off the sideline until the Sept. 22 game at Ohio Stadium
against Tulane. The 54-year-old coach, however, will be allowed to run practice after Sept. 1. The national debate about off-field issues is not likely to wane by then. “The fact that Urban is not there still becomes a major part of it, so I don’t know that Ohio State gets to directly say, ‘Hey, the suspension has been handed down, there was a press conference, now let’s talk solely about football.’ I don’t think that’s going to happen,” said Austin Ward, who has covered Ohio State football since 2012 and writes for the website Lettermen Row. “He’s such a commanding presence, and now this thing could bleed out into the first couple weeks of the season where it still becomes a topic that you just cannot ignore.” See OHIO STATE on 4B

‘Man on a mission’ DeChambeau builds 4-shot lead with 9 birdies at Northern Trust By Doug Ferguson AP Golf Writer
PARAMUS, N.J. — Bryson DeChambeau described himself as a “man on a mission,” and he sure played like one Saturday in The Northern Trust.

After injury scare, Denton’s Marquez returns to boost defensive unit By Brady Keane | Staff Writer | bkeane@dentonrc.com
As Denton prepared to host its spring football banquet, Vincent Marquez — a junior at the time — could only sit and watch as his teammates began to make plans for the Broncos 2018 season. Marquez, who started at linebacker and defensive end throughout Billy Miller’s first year as the team’s head coach, had been told just a few days prior to the banquet that his football career would be cut short due to an injury he endured while lifting weights. It was a devastating blow for Marquez, who was expected to be a key returning piece on the Broncos’ defense as a senior. When he began experiencing migraines after a strenuous squat workout in the weight room, he got an MRI and was told there appeared to be a malignant cyst in his upper neck that was potentially life-threatening and would make any athletic activity too dangerous to pursue. “They said if I got hit the wrong way, I could be paralyzed,” Marquez said. “I was shocked, and I was crying because I was coming up on my last year. My mom was crying too, and we decided to get a second opinion just to make sure that was it.” See MARQUEZ on 3B
Now it’s a matter of which mission he’s on. DeChambeau made four birdies in a five-hole stretch around the turn to pull away from a fading collection of stars, closed with two more birdies and had an 8-under 63 to build a four-shot lead over Keegan Bradley going into the final round of the opening FedEx Cup playoff event. A victory would assure DeChambeau one of the top seeds at East Lake to have a clear shot at the $10 million bonus for winning the FedEx Cup. “That would be something pretty special,” he said. And the timing would be ideal for his Ryder Cup hopes. DeChambeau narrowly missed qualifying for the U.S. team when he missed the cut at the PGA Championship, but a victory against one of the strongest fields of the year might be tough for Jim Furyk to ignore when he makes three of his captain’s picks a week from Tuesday. “I’ve just got to keep focusing on this tournament,” the 24-year-old Californian said. “If I can play well in the first leg of the FedEx Cup, I’ll hopefully show captain that I’m worthy.” He played the part on a day when everyone else around him went the other direction. DeChambeau and Adam Scott were the only players from the last 10 players to tee off who managed to break par, and Scott had to birdie three of his last four holes for a 70. He was six shots behind. Dustin Johnson, trailing by two shots after 36 holes despite two triple bogeys, added a double bogey to his week and shot 72 to fall nine shots behind. See GOLF on 4B
Giants nearly blow lead again, hold off Rangers for victory Rangers
By Michael Wagaman Associated Press
SAN FRANCISCO — Less than 24 hours after blowing a six-run lead in an extra-innings loss, Mark Melancon prevented the San Francisco Giants from letting another big advantage slip away. The former closer did it on a day when the Giants celebrated their 2010 World Series championship, a team that had more than its fair share of tight finishes. Melancon got pinch-hitter Carlos Perez to fly out with the bases loaded in the ninth inning, preserving a 5-3 win against the Texas Rangers on Saturday. “It’s really incredible how similar the two games were but we found a way to get the last out today,” San Francisco manager Bruce Bochy said. “Torture was back.” Andrew Suarez pitched seven scoreless innings of three-hit ball to end a four-start winless drought.

homered while Nick Hundley added two walks and scored. San Francisco began the Day 9 games behind Milwaukee for the second NL wild card. “It’s very important to continue to send that message of relentless attack,” Pence said. “Even where we are and as clouded as it may seem, you still never know. When there’s still a chance in this game of baseball, things can get hot in an instant.” Hours after Bochy confirmed that six-time All-Star catcher Buster Posey is headed for season-ending hip surgery, San Francisco did the bulk of its scoring in the first inning then held on behind Suarez and three relievers for a rare win at AT&T Park.

Rice beats Prairie View 31-28 HOUSTON — Emmanuel Esukpa had a career-high 173 yards rushing and a score and Jack Fox kicked a 23-yard field goal as time expired to help Rice beat Prairie View A&M 31-28 on Saturday night in the season opener for both teams. Esukpa came in with 74 carries for 317 yards rushing and three touchdowns in his career. Austin Walter added 11 carries for 83 yards and two scores for Rice, which finished with 310 yards rushing and nearly doubled Prairie View (20:21) in time of possession. Aston Walter, on third-and-4 from the 37, broke three tackles before being tripped up at the 11 to set up Fox’s winner.

Watt back on field in Texans loss LOS ANGELES — Rookie John Kelly rushed for 64 yards and two touchdowns, and the Rams briefly debuted their new defensive stars in a 21-20 preseason victory over Watt and the Houston Texans on Saturday. Watt started and made a tackle roughly 10 1/2 months after he got hurt in the Texans’ fifth game last season. The chance to catch up with former defensive coordinator Wade Phillips was just a bonus on an exciting day for the veteran superstar. “I liked that I came off [the field] under my own power,” Watt said with a grin. “It’s football. It’s where I feel the most natural. It’s where I feel at home.” Houston’s first-team defense looked sharp, but the Rams’ backup offensive players put together enough points to win it. Watt and Jadeveon Clowney were long finished by the time Nick Rose missed a 57-yard field goal at the gun in the Texans’ first loss of the preseason.

Wickens breathing on own after wreck MADISON, Ill. — IndyCar driver Robert Wickens was breathing without medical assistance and began speaking with his family Saturday for the first time since his harrowing wreck at Pocono Raceway. Schmidt Peterson Motorsports made the announcement shortly before the start of the IndyCar race at Gateway Motorsports Park. The team is only fielding James Hinchcliffe’s car for Saturday night’s race, though a backup No. 6 car that Wickens had driven this season was parked outside the haulers. Many drivers, crew members and fans were wearing “RW6” hats and T-shirts as they signed a “Get Well” sign in the paddock, and cars were carrying stickers that read “Better Stronger Faster.”

25-second countdown to debut at Open Any discussion of the serve clocks that will make their Grand Slam debut during the U.S. Open’s main draw starting Monday, and could become a regular part of tennis as soon as next year, inevitably turns to Rafael Nadal and Novak Djokovic. They are two of the greatest players in history — and two of the slowest between points. For one thing, Djokovic’s incessant bouncing of the ball before a service toss delays things. So do Nadal’s habitual mannerisms: the touching of the nose, the tucking of the hair, the grabbing at the shorts, and on it goes. And while neither was a big fan of introducing digital readouts on court to show the 25-second countdown before each first serve, the two men with a combined 30 Grand Slam singles titles seem ready to accept that they must abide by a change intended to add uniformity to their sport. “I just need to go faster,” Nadal said, matter-of-factly. Djokovic’s take: “I’m pretty comfortable with it.”

NBA 2K League has New York champ NEW YORK — The NBA 2K League’s first season ended with a video game version of a real NBA rivalry: Knicks against Heat. In the future perhaps it’s Knicks against London. “We expect this to be a global league,” NBA 2K League managing director Brendan Donohue said Saturday. “That is on our game plan, though when that happens it’s not definitive. But that is our goal.” The season on the screens turned out like it never has on the hardwood. Knicks Gaming, so far down the standings that they had to win a tournament late in the season as the No. 15 seed just to earn the eighth and final playoff spot, then knocked off the top-seeded Blazers to start a postseason roll that culminated with a sweep of the best-of-three series with Heat Check Gaming to win $300,000. — The Associated Press

Serena Williams returns a shot to Krystyna Pliskova during their first-round match at the French Open in Paris on May 29.
Despite ban on catsuit, Williams OK with Open By Brian Mahoney Associated Press
NEW YORK — Serena Williams isn’t worried about a dress code at the French Open.
Pro tennis French Open
Her skin-tight black catsuit won’t be welcome, but Williams already had put it back in the closet. She no longer needs a fulllength outfit for health reasons and won’t be wearing it again at the U.S. Open. Besides, for someone with Williams’ style, going back to the same look would be a fashion faux pas. “When it comes to fashion, you don’t want to be a repeat offender,” she said Saturday. Williams downplayed concerns that were caused this week when the French Tennis Federation president said in Tennis Magazine that the outfit Williams wore this year in Paris would no longer be accepted. “One must respect the game and the place,” Bernard Giudicelli said. Williams said she had a strong relationship with the federation and had spoken with Giudicelli on Friday. “I think that obviously the Grand Slams have a right to do what they want to do,” she said. “I feel like if and when, or if they know that some things are for health reasons, then there’s no way that they wouldn’t be OK with it. So I think it’s fine.” Williams wasn’t just trying to make a fashion statement when she wore the outfit that she called her “Wakanda-inspired catsuit,” referring to the fictional nation in the film Black Panther. The full-length leggings were for health reasons. In what was her first Grand Slam tournament since giving birth to her daughter last Sept. 1, they were a precaution after her health scare related to blood clots. Williams said Saturday she no longer needs to wear them because she found that compression tights also work to keep her blood circulating. She wore tights at Wimbledon, when she made it to the final. Though Williams shrugged it off, the French Open decision drew strong reaction from inside and outside of tennis. Billie Jean King wrote on Twitter that ”the policing of women’s bodies must end” while former U.S. star Andy Roddick tweeted that the decision was “so dumb and shortsighted it hurts,” adding that “Sometimes it’d be nice if the sport got out of its own way.” The catsuit controversy briefly overshadowed Williams’ return to the final Grand Slam tournament of the season. Serena is the No. 17 seed and could play sister Venus in the third round. Top-ranked Simona Halep could be an opponent in the fourth round. Serena said she hadn’t even looked at what opponents she could face as she hopes to win a 24th Grand Slam singles title, and seventh in New York. She’s one of the favorites, despite some struggles since returning to tour.

As one of the team’s more respected players, simply having Marquez back in the picture was a boost for the Broncos before summer began. “It just felt great,” Marquez said. “The biggest smile lit up on

Fortunately for Marquez, a subsequent visit to a different doctor revealed a much less serious problem. There was a severe strain in his trapezius muscle, which was the cause of the swelling, neck pain and headaches that forced Marquez off the field in the first place. After consulting with a handful of other radiologists, doctors were able to rule out the presence of a cyst and said Marquez would be able to return to the field — and continue life as normal — after resting and allowing the strain to properly heal. “It worked out and we’re really happy for Vincent,” Denton coach Billy Miller said. “You don’t want to see any kid go through that. With what he was putting in effort-wise and what they were asking him to give up, we were ecstatic when he came back and had a clean bill of health. That was the biggest thing for us. “He had something that shook him a little bit and now he’s going to be able to look back on that for the rest of his life and say, ‘I was prepared for this, and now I have a second chance.’” With his perspective sur-

Allgaier takes Xfinity race at Road America By Genaro C. Armas Associated Press
ELKHART LAKE, Wis. — Race leader Justin Allgaier watched in the mirror as the two cars closest to his Chevrolet made contact, essentially bumping his two closest rivals out of contention. The coast was clear for Allgaier to sail to victory Saturday at Road America for his fourth win of the season. But Allgaier kept thinking about everything else that could go wrong. What if he didn’t hit his mark on a turn? What if his car ran over a debris on the track? What if he just ran out of fuel? “Ok, if I run out of gas I may not go back to the garage area,” Allgaier said in recounting his internal conversation. “I may just walk back home to Charlotte.” Instead, he’ll head back with his second victory in three weeks, both coming on road courses, after pulling away over the final five laps. Allgaier held a 5.4-second advantage over second-place Matt Tifft to take the tense race filled with bumps, scrapes and spin-outs around the 14-turn course. Daniel Hemric, Tifft’s teammate at Richard Childress Racing, was third. The victory erases the sting of a close call in 2011, when Allgaier led late in the race before running out of fuel during a yellow flag. This time, Allgaier was the beneficiary of late-race commotion. With three laps to go, second-place James Davison and third-place Justin Marks were jockeying for position trying desperately to catch Allgaier when their cars spun out around a tight left turn. Tifft blew past Davison and Marks. But no one could catch Allgaier, who started 11th. The victory allowed him to leapfrog Christopher Bell atop the series driver standings. “I never would have thought

we could have a dream season like this one,” he said with a smile after wiping sweat off his forehead. “Two road courses ... would you believe that?” NASCAR Hall of Famer Bill Elliott finished 20th after coming out of retirement to take his first ride Xfinity ride around Road America. The 62-yearold Elliott started 23rd, then climbed up to 17th before spinning out and falling back. “It was a heck of a lot of fun,” Elliott said. The old-school driver would have loved the racing at the front of the field. It was an entertaining afternoon for NASCAR during an off week for the top-level Cup circuit. Most of the attention coming into the race fell on Road America rookies like Elliott. British racer Katherine Legge, who was driving in her second NASCAR race, finished 14th. IndyCar driver Conor Daly, who was making his NASCAR debut, finished 31st. A suspension issue forced his No. 6 Ford into the garage after 35 laps.
Coming back?
Elliott had his son, Cup driver Chase Elliott, spotting for him on Saturday. He may not have that job again if the elder Elliott returns to race again. “He didn’t say much. He didn’t help me enough,” he said with a smile. Bill Elliott said his goal this weekend was just to get used to the car again, drawing on the experience of decades on the track. For now, Road America may be the finish line. “I doubt it,” he said when asked if he would return. “This was a lot of fun, a good time. These guys are serious racers. I felt like I held my own pretty good ... It’s just hard to put it all together.”

3 cowboys get score at Bull Blowout Cowboy protection bullfighting teams make event look effortless By Todd Brewer For the Denton Record-Chronicle
The bull power was on full display Friday night at the North Texas Fair and Rodeo Bull Blowout with only three cowboys making the required eight seconds to get a score and only a single rider in the short round making it to eight. Jared Sheehan of Magnolia, Texas, was the overall winner on Night 2 with an aggregate score of 162 on two bulls. U.S. Army veteran Juan Alonzo of Keller posted an 80.5 for the second place finish followed by Honey Grove, Texas, bullrider Cody Hodges’ 49 for third.

Golf Brooks Koepka, the U.S. Open and PGA champion who shared the 36-hole lead, began his slide with a three-putt bogey from 12 feet on No. 5 and by missing a 4-foot birdie putt on the next hole. He went 13 holes in the middle of his round with three bogeys and 10 pars and had to settle for a 72. He was seven behind. Scott was one shot behind when he made two bogeys, then chopped up the par-3 11th for a double bogey. “I really switched off there for five holes and made a mess of things around the turn,” Scott said. “Might have shot myself out of the tournament. We’ll see how it goes tomorrow, but it’s going to be costly and make life difficult for me to win this thing now.” Bradley finished his round about an hour after the leaders teed off, making five birdies over his last seven holes for a 62.
He was leading at the time and figured he would be at least a few shots behind when the third round ended. He might not have expected DeChambeau to be the one he was chasing. “Just looking at who is at the top of the leaderboard, when I got to 10, I was like any birdie from here on out is really going to be big going into tomorrow,” Bradley said. Tony Finau (66) and Cameron Smith of Australian (65) were five shots behind, with Billy Horschel (65) and Scott another shot back. Jordan Spieth finally got his putter going and shot a 64, leaving him seven shots behind but in a tie for seventh, boosting his bid to return to the Tour Championship. Spieth, who hasn’t won this year, started the playoffs at No. 43. The top 30 after three playoff events go to East Lake for

ing in over two decades. Hugh Freeze resigned at Mississippi last year after university officials found a “pattern of personal misconduct.” The team then limped to a 6-6 finish under Matt Luke. Steve Sarkisian was fired at USC during the 2015 season amid personal problems. The Spartans finished 8-6 under Clay Helton, who’s since led the team to seasons of 10-3 and 11-1. Kirk Herbstreit, an ESPN college football analyst and former Ohio State quarterback, said getting the season started in Columbus should help turn the conversation to the field. “I don’t know if I’ve ever seen a town impacted positively or negatively on a typical Saturday afternoon [over] the result of a football game, let alone when something like this happens to its program,” Herbstreit said. “So it’s kind of uncharted waters for the university and for that fan base. I think many of them are anxious for the ball to get up in the air.”
While Meyer does his time, 39-year-old co-offensive coordinator/quarterbacks coach Ryan Day, a second-year Ohio State assistant who has never before been a head coach, is running the show. In a normal year there would have been regular training-camp media access to Meyer, assistant coaches and players. They have all been off-limits for all of camp. Aside from a couple brief windows for sideline observation, the media have been kept at bay, which had the unintended consequence of keeping the spotlight harshly fixed on Meyer instead of football. Teams experiencing offseason turmoil have fared in various ways. After Ohio State coach Jim Tressel was fired in 2011 for lying to the NCAA about player violations, the Buckeyes, under interim coach Luke Fickell, slipped to 6-7. It was the team’s worst show-

themselves to be in the best spot they can be to take the bull away from the fallen cowboy. Communication is critical and knowing where to be and when to be there is a huge part of the success of a good bullfighting duo. The bullfighter’s job is to make themselves a more attractive target to the bull than the fallen bullfighter. This takes the bullfighters in close to the action and if necessary, to step in between the bull and the cowboy and take the shot from the bull. There usually is not enough time to make that choice consciously. Rather, it is a split-second decision that was made before the bullfighter ever stepped into the arena. Good teams make it look effortless when it’s anything but. Team Cavender’s Judd Napier of Waipahu, Hawaii, and Wyatt Mason of Casper, Wyoming, won cowboy protection bullfighting with their score of 194. Second place with a 187.5 was Team Jagoe Public, Weston Rutkowski from Haskell and Lucas Teodoro of Brazil. Placing third was Team First United, Ross Johnson of Hamilton and Beau Schueth from Emmet, Nebraska,
with their score of 186. Scores from all three performances will be averaged to determine the winner. On Thursday night, Barstow, Oklahoma bull rider Jake Gowdy added to his success at the North Texas rodeo by riding both bulls he’d drawn for an aggregate score of 163.5 to take the win. Gowdy covered his bull for an 84.5 in the first round and marked a 79 on his second to claim the top spot. Placing second with a two-bull score of 156.5 was Brazilian cowboy Alison Sousa. Kyle McDaniel had the high score of the night with an 87, but got bucked off his short-round bull and took third place. Fourth place went to another Brazilian bull rider, Maycon Moura, for his score of 72 in the long round. Bullfighters Weston Rutkowski and Beau Schueth, representing Team Jaego Public, won the first night with an aggregate score of 187. Placing second was Team Cavender’s, Judd Napier and Wyatt Mason, with a score of 186. Placing third was the North Texas Bingo team, Ely Sharkey and Kris Furr with a 185. Points from all three nights of competition will determine the winner of the custom trophy buckles from Squaw Creek Silver.

a shot at the $10 million prize. For players like Bradley and Horschel, making it to East Lake means getting into three of the majors and two World Golf Championships. And for DeChambeau, it’s simply the process of winning. “I’ve got a four-shot lead, and never really been in this spot before,” DeChambeau said. “But I’m excited because this is a new challenge for me, and I always like challenges.” Tiger Woods had his first bogey-free round of the year, but managed only three birdies for a 68. He was 13 shots behind. In scoring conditions, Woods has seven birdies in 54 holes. DeChambeau made that many in 12 holes Saturday. “That’s not going to get it done,” Woods said. “As soft as it is, these guys are making a boat load of birdies. And I just haven’t made any.”
The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) in conjunction with Denton County, will hold a Public Hearing regarding the proposed improvements to United States Highway 377 (US 377) from south of Farm-to-Market (FM) 1171 in Flower Mound to north of Crawford Road in Argyle, Denton County, Texas. The Hearing will be held on Thursday, September 27, 2018 at Argyle Middle School located at 6601 Canyon Falls Drive, Argyle, Texas 76226. Displays will be available for viewing at 6 p.m. with the formal Hearing starting at 7 p.m. The purpose of the Public Hearing is to present the proposed project to the public and receive comments. The proposed project involves the full reconstruction of the existing two-lane rural roadway to a four-lane divided highway with sidewalk on 6.13 miles of US 377 from approximately 2,100 feet south of FM 1171 to approximately 2,900 feet north of Crawford Road. The proposed improvements would potentially require approximately 36.3 acres of new right-of-way (ROW) and 0.6-acre for permanent easement. The proposed typical section consists of a four-lane divided roadway (one 12-foot lane and one 14-foot lane in each direction) with a 19-foot raised median that would transition down to a six-foot median at intersections. The proposed project also consists of dedicated left-turn lanes, signalized intersections, and six-foot sidewalks on the east side of the roadway for the entire length of the project. The existing ROW varies and is typically 120 feet wide. The proposed ROW varies from 100 to 140 feet wide, including median and curb offsets. Although additional ROW is required, no residential or nonresidential structures would be displaced. Information concerning services and benefits available to affected property owners and information about the tentative schedule for ROW acquisition may be obtained from the Dallas District office. As part of this project, one property (Resource 18), determined as eligible for the National Register of Historic Places (NHRP) falls within the project limits. The proposed project would not pose adverse effects to this resource; however approximately 0.02 acres of ROW would be acquired from the parcel on which
the resource stands, thus constituting a direct effect. The direct effect to this resource constitutes a Section 4(f) de minimis use. Environmental documentation, maps showing the project location and design, and other information regarding the project are on file and available for inspection Monday through Friday between the hours of 8:00 a.m. and 5:00 p.m. at the TxDOT Dallas District Office located at 4777 East Highway 80, Mesquite, Texas 75150. This information will also be available for inspection at the Public Hearing. A copy of the approved schematic and of this hearing notice is available online at www.keepitmovingdallas. com under Public Hearings/Meetings. Written and verbal comments from the public regarding this project are requested and may be presented at the Public Hearing, or submitted in person or by mail to the TxDOT District Office, Attention Mr. Nelson Underwood, P.E., Project Manager, 4777 East Highway 80 Mesquite, Texas 75150. Written comments must be received or postmarked by Friday, October 12, 2018 to be included in the Public Hearing Summary. The Public Hearing will be conducted in English. Persons interested in attending the Hearing who have special communication or accommodation needs or need an interpreter, are encouraged to contact the TxDOT Dallas District Public Information Office at (214) 320-4480. Requests should be made at least two days prior to the Public Hearing. Every reasonable effort will be made to accommodate these needs. If you have general questions or concerns regarding the proposed project, you may contact Mr. Nelson Underwood, P.E. at (214) 320-6628 or by email at Nelson.Underwood@txdot.gov. The environmental review, consultation, and other actions required by applicable Federal environmental laws for this project are being, or have been, carried-out by TxDOT pursuant to 23 U.S.C. 327 and a Memorandum of Understanding dated December 16, 2014, and executed by FHWA and TxDOT.

Open house set at charming home By Kaycee Key Real Estate Editor
GREATER DENTON/WISE COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS
Expensive mistakes that Denton homebuyers make
Chances are, if you’ve lived in Texas you’ve heard the saying, “I wasn’t born in Texas, but I got here as fast as I could.” Over the past decade, that spirit has come to life like never before, with unprecedented population growth. That has created strong demand for homes in Denton. That’s great news for homeowners who see their property values rise, but it can also make the Denton real estate market difficult to navigate, especially for first-time homebuyers. Greater Denton/ Wise County Association of Realtors shares some expensive mistakes buyers should avoid in Denton’s competitive real estate market.
Skipping the home inspection
Most home inspections cost a few hundred dollars, and as one among several expenses along the path to homeownership, it can be tempting to skip it. Don’t! While everything might look good around the property, you won’t see things like foundation problems, plumbing issues or roof damage that could cost thousands of dollars to fix. Not only will a home inspection ensure you avoid any major expenses down the road, it also identifies minor things that may need to be fixed, replaced or remodeled to make the home livable, which your Denton Realtor can help you consider when negotiating the final purchase price.

works every July 4th. There’s even a fun play set waiting in the back yard for the kids.

Offering too much
In a market like this one, it’s not uncommon for buyers to find themselves one among many making an offer on a home (called a “multiple offer” situation). That can inspire buyers to offer more than they intended for a property because they want to nab their dream home. In these situations, Denton Realtors urge careful consideration. Buyers financing a majority of their home purchase can face issues, since the bank may not appraise the property at the price that was offered and decline a loan. Longer term, Denton Realtors have found that clients who purchase properties above market value may find themselves owing more than the home is worth. Every market has its unique challenges, and the competitive Denton real estate market is no different. Equipped with this knowledge and the informed counsel of a Denton Realtor, buyers and sellers can sidestep costly mistakes and navigate the market with confidence.

Dear Abby | By Jeanne Phillips
Timing is everything in family feud over the table Dear Abby: My wife and I have a disagreement about when a person should be allowed to get up from the table. We have an 8-month-old son whom we both want to grow up to have good manners. We know he’ll soon be out of his high chair and become squirmy and not want to stay seated. My wife was raised to stay seated and be excused only after everyone is finished eating — holding everyone hostage until the last person is finished and extending dinnertime up to an hour or more. I feel it’s excessive, and a child would have a hard time sitting still that long. When she was little, her parents tied her to her chair so she couldn’t get up until everyone finished eating. I was raised to ask to be excused after I was finished, but was welcome to stay and socialize if I liked. In my opinion, dinner should last about 30 minutes so there’s time to finish chores around the house. I agree that coming to the table and leaving after 10 minutes is rude because the cook has taken great care to prepare the meal and may feel insulted if the diner gets up too quickly. Long dinners may have been acceptable in Jane Austen’s day, but not in today’s fast-paced world. — High Chair Hostage Dear High Chair: Your wife appears to be extremely rigid. On the plus side, she appreciates the importance of family dinners in the home. I agree that children should be taught table manners, however, tying a kid to a chair is considered child abuse these days, and I don’t recommend it. Modern parents recognize that small children have short attention spans and compensate for it in various ways. When a child is old enough to understand, the rules should be spelled out. If the children are in another person’s home or a public
place, materials should be provided so the child can entertain him- or herself while the adults make conversation. If the child needs to get up and move around, he or she should be accompanied by a parent so other diners won’t be interrupted. If a meal at home is going to be a long one, the child should be allowed to be excused from the table as you were. And because you are an adult, you should have the freedom to leave the table if you wish, too. Dear Abby: A woman in my social circle has called me a know-it-all and accused me of making her feel stupid. She has refused to accept my apology, canceled our carpools to events and has started challenging me at every turn of any conversation. I no longer feel comfortable accepting invitations to gatherings in her home, but frequent encounters with her are unavoidable. How should I handle confrontations with her in the future? — Traumatized Texan Dear T.T.: There shouldn’t be any “confrontations.” When you see the woman, be pleasant and keep your distance. If she tries to start an argument, tell her the problem is hers and you don’t intend to make it yours — period. Then, if there are others present, devote your time to them. Good advice for everyone — teens to seniors — is in “The Anger in All of Us and How to Deal With It.” To order, send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $7 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby, Anger Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Shipping and handling are included in the price.) — Andrews McMeel Syndication

Good Samaritan, Sanford Health to merge By Julia Falcon Staff Writer julia.falcon@dentonrc.com
The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society will be merging with Sanford Health, a health care company based in Sioux Falls, South Dakota, come November. It was announced Aug. 17 that a merger was approved between the two Sioux Falls nonprofits, with the new name set to be Good Samaritan Society of Sanford Health. “We feel strongly that this visionary plan will be modeled throughout the United States to offer a continuum of care throughout one’s life,” said Kelby Krabbenhoft, president and CEO
of Sanford Health, in a news release. “Having no objections during the government’s regulatory review confirms our beliefs. We’re excited to move forward.” There are two Good Samaritan retirement communities in Denton, the Denton Village and the Lake Forest Village. Plans for the merger were originally announced in June. Leaders from Good Samaritan Society and Sanford Health had the goal to combine the two organizations by the start of 2019, according to the news release. “For several months, we’ve talked about the advantages of bringing So-
ciety professionals together with the health care experts at Sanford Health,” said David J. Horazdowsky, president and CEO of the Good Samaritan Society. “This clears a major hurdle in advancing the care for those we serve.” Sanford Health is one of the largest health care systems in the nation, with 44 hospitals and nearly 300 clinics in nine cities and four countries. The Evangelical Lutheran Good Samaritan Society is one of the nation’s largest nonprofit organizations providing senior care and services with more than 200 locations nationwide. Neither of the Good Samaritan locations in Denton returned phone calls for comment.

Yes, we’re due for a correction that trims 20 percent or more from stock values.

They are buildings scattered around town. Denton City Hall. Emily Fowler Central Library. Denton Civic Center. First Christian Church. The Little Chapel in-the-Woods on the campus of Texas Woman’s University. The gazebo on the University of North Texas campus. These and several other local structures, including a handful of homes, share one very significant attribute. Local boy-turned-internationally famous architect O’Neil Ford designed them all. Ford left his mark of genius in places across the country. Perhaps most notable is the Tower of the Americas constructed 50 years ago in San Antonio for the 1968 Hemisfair, iconic even still to that city’s skyline. Today’s column, though, is all about Ford’s fingerprint on Denton. UNT on the Square director Herbert Holl carefully separates architectural renderings and blueprints across a large table.

Stocks have quadrupled since March 9, 2009, the beginning of the current bull market. Meanwhile, returns on bonds and cash remain low. Investors who haven’t regularly rebalanced back to a target mix of stocks, bonds and cash probably have way too much of their portfolios in stocks. The time to rebalance is now, before markets start bucking and making it harder to think rationally. The right asset allocation depends on your income needs and risk tolerance, among other factors, but many financial planners recommend having a few years’ worth of withdrawals in safer investments to mitigate the urge to sell when stocks fall. Certified financial planner Lawrence Heller of Melville, New York, uses the “bucket” strategy to avoid selling in down markets. Heller typically has clients keep one to three years’ worth of expenses in cash, plus seven

Business aids Explorium Denton By Lucinda Breeding Features Editor cbreeding@dentonrc.com
A local massage therapy business donated $2,500 to Explorium Denton, a children’s museum opening soon at Stonehill Center on Interstate 35. Soma Massage Therapy will get its name near the doorway of the museum’s nursing lounge, a space for nursing mothers — or parents and grandparents who want to give their little ones a bottle — for its donation. “The donation will pay for the furniture in the nursing room,” Executive Director Anyah Martinez said. “People are absolutely free to nurse anywhere in the museum, but some of them might prefer privacy. I know when I was first
nursing, I needed quiet. I needed to get calm and settled.” Amber Briggle, a massage therapist and the owner of Soma, said she remembers when Martinez visited the Rotary Club she belongs to. “She had the schematics, and she told us that she was looking for corporate sponsorships. I remember looking at it and going, ‘Oh, nursing room!’” Briggle said. The nursing room is a small, private area with two recliners and a footstool. A diaper changing station with shelves will arrive soon. Martinez said the museum will probably stock the room with wipes and diapers, and possibly some feminine hygiene products. A two-way mirror allows anyone in
the nursing room to see into the museum, which will help people keep an eye on older children playing in the museum. The donation marks more good news for the museum, which announced a few months ago that unforeseen costs might keep the Explorium from opening. A major donation put the six-year-old project back on the road to completion. Now the museum looks closer to opening — a huge indoor play structure is nearly finished and a canvas tepee has been erected over an interactive lightboard. Craft tables are lined up in the “Make & Think” section. See EXPLORIUM on 4D

The first time I saw Billy Kaye, in February 2017, was in New York at the weekly Monday Night Jam at the Jazz Foundation of America, a nonprofit that assists struggling musicians. He looked like he had just come out of a movie set from 1950, wearing a fedora, beautiful suit and shirt. I felt a little shy when I approached him — he was 84 then, 5 feet, 5 inches tall and one of the most respected jazz musicians still playing at that age, and here I was, this 5-foot-10 German woman with a funny accent asking him whether I could follow him around to document his life in the years to come.

Feel-good flick Success of Netflix’s ‘To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before’ offers lessons By Emily Yahr The Washington Post
As you may have heard, Netflix is having quite a summer of romantic comedies. Chief content officer Ted Sarandos recently boasted that Joey King’s The Kissing Booth was “one of the most-watched movies in the country, and maybe in the world.” In June, Set It Up became a favorite with view-
ers, while the streaming giant included other offerings from Like Father to Ibiza. As the Netflix rom-com factory keeps churning, it’s easy for selections to get lost, though that is certainly not the case with To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, about a teenager whose private love letters to her crushes are inadvertently delivered to their doorsteps. A mere seven days after its release, the film already has whipped up an intense fan base and rave reviews. The unwieldy hashtag #TATBILB results in hundreds upon hundreds of tweets and photos as fans declare
their love of the film and clamor for a sequel. The chance of a sequel from Netflix is likely — the film is based on Jenny Han’s popular YA trilogy, so source material already exists. But, as happens with any hit, others in Hollywood will take notice as they inevitably try to replicate the success. And there are quite a few lessons to the overwhelmingly positive reaction to the film. First, as many already have noted, it’s an important reminder that your rom-com leads don’t have to be all See BOYS on 3D
When Charles Rives takes up the baton at the Denton Bach Society’s October concert, he won’t lead the choir and players through a baroque program. Rives will shepherd the choir and orchestra through a program of American composers. The musicians will perform Stephen Foster (best known for “Beautiful Dreamer”), Aaron Copland (“Rodeo”), Howard Hanson (“Song of Democracy”), Morten Lauridsen (“Lux Aeterna”) and Randall Thompson (“Frostiana”). “We’re starting again, and we’re exploring what we want to be in the future,” said Hildegard Rainbow, a longtime singer with the Bach Choir and a board member of the Bach Society. “You could say we’re taking chances.” Rives is a newcomer to Denton. He and his wife, Cynthia, moved to Denton in 2016 to be closer to family. Before he retired, though, Rives was the Director of Choirs at Tarleton State University for 29 years. He was a choir director, voice instructor and music educator for 41 years. He led the Cross Timbers Civic Chorale in Stephenville. Rives has studied with some of the top choral directors in the country: Robert Shaw, Douglas McEwen, George Umberson, Ronald Shirey and Donald Bailey. He got a bachelor’s degree in music education and a master’s degree in choral music from Eastern New Mexico University. He got his doctorate in Musical Arts from Arizona State University. And if the fall concert goes well,
Charles Rives Rives might step into the director’s post for the Bach Society. “There’s nothing better that creating great music together,” Rives said. “I look at it as a collaboration between voices, conductor and the musicians. As a director, I look at it as being my job to teach the musicians technical things so that they can see the musical things in the text and the music.” Choir rehearsals started last Monday, and Rives said he treats rehearsals as a sort of expedition into the music. “Our job is to find out what the poetry is really saying,” Rives said. “Our job is to really look for the composer’s purpose. It’s like The Wizard of Oz. The text is the black and white. Then you land in Oz and its in technicolor, and that’s the music.” He follows the text before the music. “I think one of the most important things is the text. I have this saying, ‘The text is everything.’ In choir, you’re wedding poetry — and sometimes scripture — with the music,” Rives said.

DVD REVIEWS
Dusted off Twilight Time leads week of restored films, poignant documentaries By Preston Barta Film Critic
This month’s restored classics from Twilight Time include historical epics and stories about complicated romances.
Twilight Time ★★★A July releases Cinderella Liberty — This 1973 film adaptation of Darryl Ponicsan’s novel is easily my favorite of the Twilight Time releases from last month. It’s a nice melding of The Last Detail and Pretty Woman. It follows a young sailor (James Caan) who, while on leave, falls in love with a prostitute (Marsha Mason) with an 11-year-old son (Kirk Calloway). It’s a complex and sweet-natured drama with many great character moments and truths about the world. (Trivia: John Williams did the musical score.) Rated R, 116 minutes. The Children of Huang Shi — The 2008 historical epic tells the extraordinary story of a British journalist (Jonathan Rhys Meyers) and an Australian nurse (Radha Mitchell) who save a group of orphaned children during the Japanese occupation of China in 1937. However, the film is bit underwhelming and never allows the tension to gain much momentum to have your complete investment. Rated R, 125 minutes. Genghis Khan — There was a time when Hollywood would do these big productions about stories across the pond and would cast white people to play the parts. 1965’s Genghis Khan starring Stephen Boyd and Omar Sharif is one of those cringeworthy examples. The history of the film’s making and the historical story itself are better than the product. It’s a severely dated film, but it remains a neat piece of history to own. Not rated, 125 minutes. The Revolt of Mamie Stover — The second-best release in the bundle is this 1956 title. Jane Russell stars as the titular Mamie Stover, a prostitute who decides to run out of town just as World War II intensifies. She moves to Hawaii, hoping to start fresh, and falls for a science-fiction writer (Richard Egan) who respects her and treats her well. However, Mamie’s past resurfaces to complicate her romance and new life. Hollywood’s censorship and narrow perspective at the time causes this film to suffer a bit, but Russell gives a witty performance that provides a lot to enjoy. Not rated, 92 minutes. Extras: The special features on these limited edition Twilight Time releases (available today on twilighttimemovies.com) vary, but most include such extras as audio commentaries by various film historians and the filmmakers, isolated score tracks and original theatrical trailers. ■
Bram Stoker’s Shadowbuilder (★★A) A cult summons a demon called the Shadowbuilder (Andrew Jackson), who wants to destroy the world. The Shadowbuilder needs to find young Chris Hatcher (Kevin Zegers), a boy with the potential to be a saint. Thankfully, goodguy/tough priest Father Vassey (Michael Rooker) is there to keep it from happening. If I were to change some of the plot details of this 1998 movie, you’d think I was describing Terminator 2. There’s nothing exceptionally original about the storyline, as it feels like a less effective Dario Argento film and less memorable Buffy the Vampire Slayer episode. The cast is good (including Candyman’s Tony Todd) and the characters have clear motivations. But it’s hard to ignore the dated special effects and complete lack of suspense. It’s very much a direct-to-video from the ‘90s. Rated R, 101 minutes. Extras: As always, the MVD Rewind Collection packages the ultimate collector’s disc. Whether you like the movie or not, it’s shelf jewelry at its finest, sparkling with its custom cover art (complete with a slipcover that has retro stickers, like “Warning: This video cassette will melt if left in the car in the sun”). The film (available for preorder through mvdb2b.com) includes a director’s audio commentary, a 30-minute making-of, a 13-minute visual effects featurette, a short featurette on actor Kevin Zegers, a trailer and collectible poster. ■ Autumn in New York (★★A) I have a soft spot for sappy romantic dramas. 2000’s Autumn in New York is a romance drama that stars Richard Gere and Winona Ryder. It’s about an aging playboy who falls for a young, terminally ill woman. It’s exactly the kind of Nicholas Sparks material you think it is. But there’s a charm to it, even if the actors are saying dialogue that’s desperate to tug at your heartstrings. There’s also not much fire between Gere and Ryder. So, perhaps this movie makes for a good guilty pleasure film. Rated PG-13, 104 minutes. Extras: Though it’s being advertised as a release that’s “a little simpler and a little less expensive,” the MVD Marquee Collection (available for preorder through mvdb2b.com) is not quite as exciting a release as the titles in the Rewind Collection. The disc art is pretty basic (only the movie’s poster); the Marquee Collection logo once you put in the disc is just an image (compared to the Rewind Collection’s

clever spin on putting in a VHS copy of a movie); and the disc menu is a standard highlight reel with no graphics. The only special features are trailers and an image gallery. But the amount of bonus content varies from movie to movie. ■ Criminal Minds: Season 13 (★★★A) As this point in the game, you should know what to expect. The formula hasn’t changed much over the years: Some killer or bad person has done some bad things and the good guys have to save the day at the last minute, which is then followed by one of the cast members reading a famous quote that relates to the horror or tragedy they’ve just endured. Some cast members are no longer with us, and it’s understandable because we’re on Season 13. But if you’ve stuck it out this long, it’s still the same fun show. There are some surprises along the way, and it’s always a thrill to see how real-world issues shape the kind of material they explore episode to episode. Criminal Minds is one of the most realistic crime shows. You don’t see David Caruso taking off/putting on his sunglasses before delivering a one-liner, but you do see extreme technology and situations every now and then. That said, it’s always been the team dynamic that makes the show so great. While I miss having Shemar Moore and Thomas Gibson around, the new team keeps the ball rolling. Not rated (TV-14), about 15 hours and 29 minutes (22 episodes). Extras: The six-disc DVD release includes a few behind-the-scene featurettes, a gag reel, deleted/extended scenes on select episodes and the pilot episodes of SEAL Team and Bull.
BELOW: Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg is the subject of the documentary “RBG.” Magnolia Pictures
■ RBG (★★★A) In a political climate filled with cynicism and a sense of civic decay, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg often helps to keep our eyes fixed on a more hopeful future. Given her large and enthusiastic following, it’s no surprise a documentary about her life and career has been made. Her achievements and ongoing battle for equality are inspiring and perfect material with which to capture a viewer’s interest at large. Even though RBG fails to offer a warts-andall approach to its subject, it’s a film that may persuade you to sport a trendy “Notorious RBG” T-shirt and follow her lead. Filmmakers Julie Cohen and Betsy West capture Ginsburg’s tireless work ethic and sharp wit, reminding us that it’s not about who we’re up against in life, but what we are fighting for. Rated PG, 98 minutes. Extras: The DVD release include additional interviews and deleted/extended scenes. ■ The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez (★★★A) This is a true find. The Criterion Collection likely found it on the shelf, blew off the dust and did their best attempt at restoring it. 1982’s The Ballad of Gregorio Cortez is a true-story tale about a Mexican-American farmer (Edward James Olmos) who flees a Texas town when he is accused of murder-

Kaye I explained to him how I had photographed several elderly jazz musicians in Washington, D.C. I told him how much I particularly love jazz of the 1930s to the ’50s — big band to bebop — and also the fashion and visual style of the era. But I said I was mostly interested in photographing how older jazz musicians get by today. He gave me a gentle smile and said this could be arranged, a phrase he often uses. I was happy about that but stressed that my documentary
work was not set up or staged, and that I would be shadowing him a great deal. As a boy, Billy, who was born in Wilson, North Carolina, in 1932, took piano lessons; he didn’t start playing drums until he enlisted in the Air Force, at age 17. He is entirely self-taught and has toured the world and shared the stage with such jazz greats as Count Basie, Charlie Parker, Thelonious Monk (with whom he played in Washington), George Benson, Lou Donaldson and Dinah Washington. Billie Holiday once cooked for him after he fell sick. Drumming is a rigorous en-
deavor, but Billy, who competed in track and field in the 1952 Olympic Games in Helsinki, still regularly performs in New York, where he has lived for more than 70 years. He often hosts the Monday Night Jam, which happens every two weeks, and he also plays at local retirement homes. Of all the pictures I’ve taken of Billy, the one I think about the most is a detail shot of his right hand, which shows the thickness that has built up around his thumb from holding sticks most of his life. Evidence of continuity and conviction, of strength and survival.
white. Even though you might think that’s an obvious one, as it’s 2018 and there are many blockbuster movies that feature diverse casts, Han told People magazine that she had to turn down offers from studios that wanted Lara Jean’s (Lana Condon) character to be white, and not Asian-American. “It was a difficult position. You have to say no again and again,” Han said, adding that when she did find a production company, “the fact that the lead was Asian-American wasn’t seen as a liability. It was something they were excited about.” Another big lesson: Even though satire and snark are popular tonal choices, sometimes viewers crave a movie that’s just really nice. Sound boring? Really, it’s just refreshing. This issue has come up multiple times in coverage of the film, as the most common descriptor is “sweet”: Vox praised “the unabashed sweetness of this movie,

ing a lawman in 1901. This is a chase film, plain and simple. It’s not a full-throttled adventure, but rather a nuanced slice of history that taps into all the miscommunication going on in our world today. It provides a lot of insight into the madness of those who are quick to accuse before taking the time to listen. The film may be slow in its pace, but it still manages to knock you off your feet by the end. Not rated, 85 minutes. Extras: The now-available Criterion release includes a new interview with actor and producer Edward James Olmos, an interview with author Chon A. Noriega, a cast-and-crew panel from 2016 and an essay about the film. ■ Also available this week: American Animals; Blast (1997); Book Club; Bound (1996); Flash:Season 4; Lucifer: Season 3; Mary Shelley; Memories of Underdevelopment (1968): The Criterion Collection; The Rider; and Woman Walks Ahead.

and the way it builds itself around nice people who care about each other and want to do nice things for each other.” While promoting the film, Condor noted, “there’s not a lot of just good-hearted movies.” The Huffington Post called out Lara Jean’s most significant crush, Peter Kavinsky, for his “bedrock kindness.” And that’s another critical takeaway for producers and writers everywhere: Never, ever underestimate the power of a leading man who is simply kind. Peter Kavinsky has become an internet sensation — the Cut noted that he “has grown women actually running to IMDb to make sure the actor, Noah Centineo, is an appropriate age. (He’s 22.)” Netflix’s own Twitter bio currently reads, “this is now a Peter Kavinsky stan account.” Sure, Peter is the typically handsome athlete; still, he’s sensitive, thoughtful and emotionally intelligent. At first, it doesn’t seem that way — when he receives one of Lara Jean’s letters, he comes up with their wacky scheme of pretending to date so he can make
his ex-girlfriend jealous. But throughout the movie, he reveals himself as a genuinely good person, who has been pretty hurt by his past relationship, yet is mature enough to know that he has to process his feelings. He drives Lara Jean and her little sister to school. He goes across town to the grocery store to find the Korean yogurt drinks she likes. He never pressures Lara Jean, even when her first rule for the fake relationship is “no kissing.” “Swoon. Sigh. Moon,” the Cut added. “It’s enough to make viewers wish they were a teenager again. If only all adults could correct everything they’ve done wrong in their lives, which is, most pressingly, not finding a Peter Kavinsky.” Dramatic? Perhaps. But also, accurate! Other movies only wish that they could form this kind of personal connection with viewers. So hopefully, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before will not only help prove that rom-coms can command a devoted audience, but with just a few unique elements, they can stand out from all the rest.
Rainbow said. Rives said the All-American concert planned for Oct. 14 is a departure for the Bach Society. All the music is sung in English, and the music was written well after the baroque era. Rehearsals are 7 p.m. each Monday at St. Paul Lutheran Church, 703 N. Elm St. For more information
about singing with the choir, send an email to Rainbow at hildegardfroehlich@my.unt.edu. The time and place of the Oct. 14 concert is to be announced. LUCINDA BREEDING can be reached at 940-566-6877 and via Twitter at @LBreedingDRC.

Kroger to phase out use of plastic bags Kroger announced Thursday it will ban all plastic checkout bags by 2025. The company plans to help the transition from single-use to reusable bags by ramping up availability of reusable bags it sells for $1 each, according to news reports in the Cincinnati Enquirer and USA Today. Shoppers will still be able to ask for paper bags for the foreseeable future, company officials said. The move is expected to reduce the amount of plastic sent to landfills and ending up in waterways. The company is the nation’s largest supermarket chain, with
2,800 stores in 35 states and the District of Columbia. The move is expected to pressure other supermarket chains to move in a similar direction. Kroger officials said they are focusing on eliminating plastic bags at checkout, but plans include phasing out plastic bags for produce and meat, too. The company’s subsidiary in the Pacific Northwest, QFC, will be the first to eliminate the bags in its 64 stores next year. The company did not say when to expect the change to take place in Texas. In June, the Texas Supreme Court struck down Laredo’s ban on plastic bags, saying that cities did not have the authority to make such rules. — Staff reports
Lowe’s delivers strong second quarter By The Associated Press
Lowe’s rebounded in the second quarter after dismal weather cut into projects at home — and into company profits — to start the year. Investors also shrugged off a more guarded outlook as the home-improvement retailer shifts direction under new CEO Marvin Ellison.

Weston to nine years’ worth in bonds, giving them 10 years before they would have to sell any stocks. “That should be enough time to ride out a correction,� Heller says. Near-retirees who use target date funds or computerized robo-advisers to invest for retirement don’t have to worry about regular rebalancing — that’s done automatically. But they may want to consider switching to a more conservative mix if stocks make up over half of their portfolios.
Start smaller, or be willing to cut back
Historically, retirees could minimize the risk of running out of money by withdrawing 4 percent of their portfolios in the first year of retirement and increasing the withdrawal amount by the inflation rate each year after that. This approach, pioneered by financial planner and researcher Bill Bengen, became known as the “4 percent rule.� Some researchers worry that the rule might not work in extended periods of low returns. One alternative is to start withdrawals at about 3 percent. Another approach is to forgo inflation adjustments in bad
After a premarket selloff, Lowe’s shares jumped nearly 8 percent Wednesday and touched a new high, underscoring the market’s faith in Ellison. The former J.C. Penney CEO had also been a longtime executive at Lowe’s competitor Home Depot. Lowe’s is preparing for a more constrained housing mar-
ket, as higher mortgage rates combined with steadily rising real estate prices have dampened home sales despite the robust economy and job market. While Americans continue to invest in their homes, Lowe’s has long been a laggard to Home Depot and Ellison plans to make it more of a destination.
years. Derek Tharp, a researcher with financial planning site Kitces.com, found that retirees could start at an initial 4.5 percent withdrawal rate if they were willing to trim their spending by 3 percent — which is equivalent to the average inflation adjustment — after years when their portfolios lose money. “You don’t actually cut your spending. You just don’t increase it for inflation,� says certified financial planner Michael Kitces.
Ideally, retirees would have enough guaranteed income from Social Security and pen-
sions to cover all of their basic expenses, such as housing, food, utilities, transportation, taxes and insurance, says Wade Pfau, professor of retirement income at the American College of Financial Services. If they don’t, they may be able to create more guaranteed income using fixed annuities or reverse mortgages, says Pfau, author of How Much Can I Spend in Retirement? Fixed annuities allow buyers to pay a lump sum to an insurance company typically in exchange for monthly payments that can last a lifetime. Reverse mortgages give people age 62 and older access to their equity through lump sums, lines of credit or monthly payments, and the borrowed money doesn’t have to be paid back until the owner sells, dies or moves out. Covering expenses with guaranteed income actually can free retirees to take more risk with their investment portfolios, which over time can give them better returns and more money to spend or leave to their kids, Pfau says.

Pay off debt, maximize Social Security
Reducing expenses trims the amount that retirees must take from their portfolios during bad markets. That’s why Melissa Sotudeh, a certified financial planner in Rockville, Maryland, recommends paying off debt before retirement. She also suggests clients maximize Social Security checks. Benefits increase by about 7 percent to 8 percent for each year people put off starting Social Security after age 62. The more guaranteed income people have, the less they may have to lean on their portfolios.

but with four stories. Herbert explained that Ford designed City Hall’s foundation to accommodate “going upâ€? when population growth eventually demanded administrative expansion, the predicament our City Council is grappling with right now. Many and varying types of exhibits rotate through UNT on the Square, but this one is personal to Herbert. He’s part of a volunteer team that is researching, collecting assets and creating this extraordinary show, which is now open. His co-creators are Denton preservation officer Roman McAllen, city planner Sean Jacobson and Chuck Voellinger, Denton Public Library special collections librarian. “Back in the early 1990s, Mike Cochran and some others organized a big O’Neil Ford exhibition at the Greater Denton Arts Council,â€? Herbert said. “It’s been more than 20 years. A lot of people have just moved here. Others have forgotten about him. They drive past these buildings and don’t realize the significance of O’Neil Ford and his relationship to Denton.â€? The Denton Convention & Visitors Bureau is adding an experiential layer to the O’Neil Ford exhibit, one that will exist digitally far into the future. Employing a Visit Widget tool built into our “Discover Lil dâ€? digital application, the bureau is launching a new self-guided, interactive O’Neil Ford tour itinerary. The app allows users to locate all of Denton’s Ford-designed structures and customize a map for seeing the ones that interest them. The new tour will be available in conjunction with this Friday’s public opening reception from 6 to 8 p.m. at UNT on the Square. Download the free app from the App store or Google Play and then click on “Itineraries.â€? Roman credits Sean Jacobson with having the idea for this exhibit some 18 months ago, an idea that between these four gentlemen has morphed into what will be an O’Neil Ford show unlike any other.

Herbert Holl, director of UNT on the Square, shows an O’Neil Ford original blueprint Tuesday. The blueprint is one of several on display in “O’Neil Ford: The Architect in His Words and Work,� the new exhibit at the downtown gallery. “It’s important to refresh the public’s mind that O’Neil Ford truly is a legend in architecture,� Roman said. “We have material on loan from [Ford’s last architectural firm, San Antonio-based Ford Powell & Carson], universities, Historic Denton and stuff we’re pulling from archives,� Roman continued. “That’s what’s going to make it fun for the people who are real geeks. They’re going to see things they’ve never seen before.� Roman describes O’Neil Ford as “a preservationist before it was a thing.� Herbert agrees, noting that Ford’s style was also that of an environmentalist, integrating modern design into the natural landscape. “Serious consideration for aesthetic values and good planning principles is a serious consideration for economic values. They’re complementary; not opposites,� Herbert reads the quote aloud from one of Ford’s handwritten letters in the exhibit. “That’s what all cities growing fast are up against, matching cost with aesthetic,� Herbert says about government capital
projects. “People say, ‘There’s no money for that.’ Well, there is and there isn’t. All the towns where we love going to spend time? Somebody 40, 50 or 80 years ago decided they would spend some money on making the town beautiful.� Lucky for Denton, there were some of those somebodies in charge back in the middle of the 20th century when Ford was designing for Denton. His unique style matched our original, independent spirit, his architectural-trailblazing ways are their own original and independent expression. Our legacies are forever entwined. “O’Neil Ford: The Architect in His Works and Words� is open through Sept. 22 at UNT on the Square, at 109 N. Elm St. Admission is free. KIM PHILLIPS is vice president of the Denton Convention & Visitors Bureau at the Denton Chamber of Commerce. She loves promoting Denton’s original, independent spirit through the city’s sense of place and cast of many characters. She can be reached at kim@ discoverdenton.com.

Explorium The nursing room is just days away from being ready for visitors, too. And when patrons take a seat in a recliner, they’ll notice menu cards and literature about the local massage therapy business. They’ll see the information on the app where they can make an appointment for a massage, too. “This makes sense for Soma,� Briggle said, adding that her business is equal parts service and education on how to cope with stress and how it affects the body. Soma has a civic mission in Massage for a Cause, established two years ago. Patrons can check the business’ website for the latest donation collection. Soma has collected toilet paper for Interfaith Ministries of Denton, and backpacks and food for Kyle’s Place, a Denton County shelter for homeless LGBT youth, among other initiatives. When patrons donate, their name goes into a drawing for a free massage. Martinez and Briggle have been friends for several years, and Briggle said Martinez was instrumental in helping to raise funds for what is now the Carl Gene Young Jr. Sprayground, the splash pad Briggle led fundraising efforts for several years ago. “I just think Anyah is the best
