Get to know Denton County By Dawn Cobb Managing Editor

f you’ve just arrived in Denton or are considering a move here, we’ve got a lot to share with you. Denton, which sits at the apex of the Golden Triangle, with Dallas and Fort Worth along the base, is known for being an arts mecca — it has a lively, eclectic music scene, historical points of interest and a wide assortment of arts venues. It is also becoming known as both a shopping and medical destination for all points north and west, not to mention a few folks east and south. In other words, Denton has grown and continues to grow. Population statistics from the North Central Texas Council of Governments predict the city’s population, estimated at more than 107,000 will blossom to 108,000 by 2010 and even more in the years to come. Denton County’s population, now more than a half-million, is expected to reach 643,572 by

2010. And that’s just one year away. Part of that population gain will be from the new major neighborhood developments proposed along Interstate 35W and I-35 that are expected to bring an estimated 28,000 homes to the city within the next 10 years. The largest age group currently in Denton includes people between the ages of 18 and 34. Why? If you consider that we have not one but two state universities — the University of North Texas and Texas Woman’s University — and an expanding North Central Texas College, our educational offerings far exceed our larger neighbors to the south. Texas Resource Presbyterian Hospital Denton is continuing to develop its medical plaza along the city’s northwestern edges. To the south sits Denton Regional Medical Center, and behind it an ever-growing number of medical complexes

including a heart center, doctors’ offices and an outpatient complex. Across the street, the $16 million North Texas Surgery Center off Mayhill Road has been joined by a rehabilitation and psychiatric facility, an office complex, a women’s care facility and a long-term acute care facility. Denton also is home to the headquarters of worldrenowned Sally Beauty Supply, international clothing company Russell-Newman, the Peterbilt Motors regional headquarters and plant, and the regional headquarters and call center for the Federal Emergency Management Agency. Surrounded by shopping malls in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, Denton is now making its own mark on the shopping map with the addition of such names as Macy’s, World Market, Best Buy, SuperTarget, Sam’s Club and more. Some are slated to be See WELCOME on 8

Denton County in photos From the top of a thistle, which grows abundantly in the Denton area climate to the cool shades worn by an attendee of the annual Dog Days of Denton and the flash of lightning across a darkened horizon, Denton is full of flavor, folks who love animals, and nature lovers, among others. The city, now at some 107,250 people, is slated to continue growing in the next several decades and is considered one of the fastest growing areas in the country.

part of a multimillion-dollar project at I-35 and U.S. Highway 380, known as Rayzor Ranch Town Center and Marketplace. With an estimated 2 million square feet of retail space planned, the project will bring many new shops to the Denton market. Another multimillion-dollar shopping center, Denton Crossing, has been open several years, bringing numerous stores and eateries. Golden Triangle Mall, under new ownership, continues to expand its lineup after adding Barnes & Noble Booksellers, Macy’s and a DSW shoe store. Across from Denton Crossing is Denton Towne Crossing, the location of Home Depot, a Wells Fargo branch, McAlister’s Deli, SuperTarget and more. Tucked around the city’s historic courthouse in downtown Denton, numerous shops offer coffee, ice cream, antiques, candy, home decor and much more. The Square, as it is known, is home to the Campus Theatre and its full calendar of productions, various restaurants, and a growing number of residents living in converted apartments atop the surrounding businesses. Historically speaking, Denton is home to several museums, the Bayless-Selby House Museum, a fashion collection at UNT, the Texas First Ladies gown collection at TWU and a designated historic area of homes just west of the Square. The Denton County African American Museum opened last year, located inside a donated home from the era of Quakertown, the former black community displaced to build a city park. That central city park is now named after the former town — Quakertown Park. Traveling to and from Denton to work, play or shop is relatively easy with the city sitting at the Interstate 35 split — east to Dallas and west to Fort Worth. Another major thoroughfare, U.S. Highway 380, takes travelers east to McKinney and Frisco and west to Decatur and beyond. U.S. Highway 377 winds through the area’s well-known horse country in Aubrey and Pilot Point, where horse ranches and thoroughbred farms line up by the dozens. Construction crews are working on a bridge over Lewisville Lake that will tie into the high-growth area of Little Elm. Other projects, including FM2499 and a rail line from Denton to Dallas, are expected to offer commuters even more options. And speaking of lakes, Denton County is known for its two manmade lakes — Lewisville and Ray Roberts — where water sports, fishing and just plain lazy-day boating make the area a destination spot for vacationers and residents alike. We’d be remiss in not mentioning Water Works Park, a favored destination for the younger crowd, complete with water slides, a wading pool and a continuous river. A skateboard complex is located next door, between the park and C.H. Collins Athletic Complex. Also known for its celebrations, Denton is the home of the annual Arts & Jazz Festival, which draws an estimated 200,000 visitors to the weekend event featuring a major lineup of rhythm and blues bands and hundreds of artists and craftspeople. Another festival, Dog Days of Denton, specifically caters to canine residents. Denton’s musical endeavors are legendary, with the city’s claims to fame ranging from Pat Boone, Roy Orbison and Norah Jones, who attended UNT, to the Grammy-winning Brave Combo. We have a lot of bragging rights around here and could go on and on. But we think you’ve likely got the picture. So we’ll end by saying, “Welcome to Denton. You’ll be glad you stopped by.” DAWN COBB can be reached at 940-566-6879. Her e-mail address is dcobb@dentonrc.com.

Who’s who Notable people part of Denton Staff report Denton was a rural community until two small colleges started up around a century ago. Now flourishing with about 100,000 people, Denton has essentially developed into an incubator for a Grammy-nominated rock group Bowling for Soup and recording artists such as Don Henley, Ray Peterson, Roy Orbison, Pat Boone, Norah Jones and, of course, two-time Grammy Award winners Brave Combo — to name a few. The city has also nurtured television stars like WFAA Channel 8’s Debbie Denmon and Dr. Phil McGraw. The city also has two Miss America winners to add to its claim to fame, Phyllis George, who captured the crown and title in 1971, and Shirley Cothran Barret, who won in 1975. Dr. Phil McGraw — Now a television show host, McGraw was educated in Denton. Before embarking on his own show, his company served as consultants to Oprah Winfrey during her much-publicized mad-cow lawsuit in Amarillo. McGraw received his B.S., M.A. and Ph.D. in psychology from the University of North Texas. He has had five books on The New York Times bestseller list, including Life Strategies and The Ultimate Weight Solution but may be best known for his “Dr. Phil-isms.” Debbie Denmon — This Denton native is another recognized face on television, appearing on WFAA News 8 Daybreak and News 8 Midday. After graduating from UNT in 1991 with a degree in journalism, Denmon took an anchor position in Tulsa, Okla. On her first day, she was sent to the front line to cover the Oklahoma City bombings. Norah Jones — Denton has launched the careers of several music legends, but has also shaped current musical celebrities such as Norah Jones. She came to Denton to study jazz at UNT left but in 1999 to pursue a music career that has proven successful. In February 2005, Jones won a Grammy for her collaboration with the late Ray Charles for their song “Here We Go Again” and also won Best Female Pop Vocal Performance for “Sunrise,” from her CD Feels Like Home. Two years earlier saw an even bigger Grammy night, with wins for Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Best New Artist, Best Female Pop Vocal Performance and Best Pop Vocal Album. Bowling for Soup — A group that once called Denton home, Bowling for Soup was nominated in 2003 for their song “Girl All the Bad Guys Want.” The band members moved to Denton from Wichita Falls when they were signed by FFROE, a Denton recording label. During their time here they recorded the album Rock on Honorable Ones! Brave Combo — Capturing its second Grammy for Best Polka Album in February with its 25th anniversary album, Let’s Kiss, Brave Combo, which won its first Grammy in 2000, has entertained nationwide and overseas with its “nuclear polka” songs and even made an appearance on The Simpsons.

‘Conjunction Junction’ jingle writer has ties to Denton By Arlinda Arriaga For the Denton Record-Chronicle

Sipping his coffee and a skimming the day’s headlines, Bob Dorough, 86, said he often catches himself aimlessly strolling around his Arkansas home whistling Schoolhouse Rock tunes. “I was the right catch 36 years ago,” Dorough says of his selection to compose the first Schoolhouse Rock ballad, Three is a Magic Number. A New York ad agency was in need of an upbeat jingle musician with a spunky attitude. the search led them to University of North Texas alum, Dorough, then 50. Beginning in 1973, children across America turned on Saturday morning cartoons for entertainment and amusement, but few could anticipate that between those cartoons was Schoolhouse Rock, an institution of learning that would stay with generations for decades. Scattered around a television, an upheaval of happiness inflates a roomful of third graders with jolts as they hop to the rhyme schemes of Schoolhouse Rock. Among these children, Kerol Harold proudly sings aloud,

Conjunction Junction, what’s your function? “I’ll never forget the image of the conductor and the trains connecting. We would actually watch them in the classroom, and it didn’t take long before everyone was singing along to I’m Just a Bill, Nouns or Three is a Magic Number,” Harold recalls now — 30 years later. School House Rock was a series of short, animated cartoons that used catchy tunes and repetition to teach the Scooby Doo age group the importance of grammar, math and American history. The brain child of David McCall, chairman of a New York ad agency, believed that if children could sing every lyric of a Beatles song that the same should be for math and other school subjects, according to the Schoolhouse Rock Web site. As a former college English teacher, a musician and an energetic father of two daughters, Harold snickers as he reminisces on his grade school days. “It connects with children through the infectious, catchy music and the clever goofiness of the animation. I think academically it speaks for itself,”

Harold says. “I became a college English instructor and showed some of these to my students who weren’t old enough to have grown up with it like I did. They all knew what a conjunction was after watching Conjunction Junction,” Harold admits. In the spirit of music and friendship, Dorough reunited with some of the other original backup singers to toss around the idea of bringing the Schoolhouse Rock back. “The ABC team approached me to talk about doing some work in my spare time,” Dorough says. “I guess they figured it was time to go back to the basics and put the mind brains back into television.” Born during the Great Depression as the oldest child to a traveling salesman and a homemaker, Dorough says he enjoyed the simple things and says the same is true in the simplicity of Schoolhouse Rock. He says some of his musicality originated from his church-singing parents. Having only played the clarinet and piano in school, Dorough says a profile test in high school showed he had high

marks in music, so he decided to just go with it. “There was nothing traditional here, I was plucked every step of the way,” Dorough says with a chuckle. The man whose introduction message on his voicemail is “This is Bob Dorough tah dah,” is back in the business as Schoolhouse Rock. Science Rock released a video of nine catchy science cartoons at the end of last month. Dorough regards working on Schoolhouse rock as a travel in time to the foundation of youth. With an ear-to-ear grin, Dorough illuminates his latest song, Electricity. “When you’re in the dark and you want to see, you need uh... Electricity, Electricity,” Dorough proudly chants. Former teacher and Denton librarian, Juli Gonzales says the Schoolhouse Rock videos are checked out sooner than they can be checked in. “I can’t blame them; I would be quick to check it out myself. I remember what it was like as a kid to sit in front of the TV on Saturday morning. I loved them then and still love them,” Gonzales says as she checks in a Schoolhouse Rock’s I’m Just a Bill video.

Davis Purity Bakery Serving Denton with Cakes of Distinction Since 1953

Pops Carter — This Denton octogenarian and master of the form could have left for the big city, but he insists that the simple things are the stuff of blues. His music is highly personal — he weaves in themes from farm and construction work — wherever he performs, whether on stage at the massive Denton Arts & Jazz Festival or in a local tavern. Carter and his band, the Funkmonsters, know how to work a crowd and their concerts make lasting memories.

One O’clock Lab Band — It’s hard to know whether this group is the headwaters or the flagship for Denton music, so influential is this incubator for jazz artists. Named for the time of day that the band rehearses in Kenton Hall inside the UNT Music Building, the band forever renews itself by asking members to audition for their spots each semester. Wherever good jazz is being made in this country or abroad, there is likely an alumnus of this band. Tom Malone — A former member of the Two O’clock Lab Band, Malone stands in the back row of the band on The Late Show with David Letterman. Sometimes dressed as outrageously as bandleader Paul Schaffer, Malone plays trombone, although he also played saxophone in Two O’clock. It was a call from Saturday Night Live that got his television — and movie — career launched. Malone wrote the chart for Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi’s first “Blues Brothers” skit on SNL, and Malone stayed with the act as it morphed into recordings and movies. Polyphonic Spree — Tim DeLaughter is the brain behind this choral pop group that’s now releasing its third album, The Fragile Army. The group, whose roster is ever-changing and totals 20-something, is based in Dallas but draws from local Denton talent. Members continue to make a splash wherever they take the stage performing psychedelically happy music. Patricia Racette — She came to the University of North Texas aspiring to be a jazz singer, but after a voice faculty member, the late Pattye Johnstone, heard her sing, she coaxed Racette toward classical training. She left as the school’s most promising opera star, landing roles as Violetta and Mimi with the New York Metropolitan and San Francisco opera companies. Her performance in the title role of Emmeline, an opera by Tobias Picker, was broadcast on PBS and recorded on Albany Records. Phyllis George — Crowned Miss America in 1971, this former Denton resident is one of three Miss Texas contestants who went on to win the national title. Two of the three were from Denton. George went on to work for CBS as a sports broadcaster, the first woman to do so; has written several books; and owned Chicken by George, which she later sold to Hormel. Shirley Cothran-Barret — This former Denton resident won the Miss America title in 1975. She made Denton her home until recently, when her family purchased land elsewhere. She now lectures for Christian women’s groups. Larry McMurtry — He graduated from the University of North Texas with a Bachelor of Arts in English in 1958. The author of several well-known books, including The Last Picture Show and Lonesome Dove, both of which were adapted into films, runs several book stores, including one in Archer City, a couple hours’ drive northwest of Denton.

Bob Dorough — (See Page 10) Jazz fans know him as an extraordinary pianist and vocal stylist, and millions more don’t realize they know him as the composer of “Conjunction Junction,” “I’m Just a Bill” and the many other ABC Saturday morning cartoon hits of Schoolhouse Rock. He brought many of his jazz friends to make the recordings, but Dorough is heard solo on “Three is a Magic Number.” This former UNT jazz student started writing the educational jingles in the 1970s; the entire project has been re-released on Disney DVD.

As the doors of the church swing open, the ushers are seen lining up next to the pews to begin collecting the tithes and offering from the congregation. The ushers wait patiently as they pass the golden offering plates down each row to collect the offering from the filled rows of people. An expression of worry comes upon a man’s face as he digs through his wallet to find something to put in the collection tray. When the plate is handed to him, he looks at it in despair. “Should I put money in it,” Deric Veal, a member of Denton Church of Christ, recalls asking his girlfriend sitting next to him in the pew. “This is the last of my cash until pay day on Friday.” Veal, like other people in America, is dealing with day-to-day struggles when it comes to money and the economy. People from all different backgrounds and cultures have had to take a closer look at their budgets and determine what money they can spend on the necessities of life. Businesses, organizations and churches have had to deal with the economic recession and various other problems that come along. In Denton County, the unemployment rates have risen and the number of jobs available has lowered due to the economy problems. This has lead to people needing more help with food and other things needed to live. Various churches in the area such as Denton Church of Christ have received people who come to them for help financially or for other things. Rodney Mitchell, a deacon of the Denton Church of Christ, has been a member for about 18 years and he has seen many people come and ask for help from the church. “We try to help everyone we can whether we give them a financial blessing or we donate food from our pantry, we do our best to help everyone,” Mitchell said. “We don’t ask about their history in life because we don’t care. Our job is to be a blessing to people no matter what.” The people who have gone to Denton Church of Christ for help have varied from college students to homeless people including people who are currently members of their church. “Our members are a mirror of what’s going on in the nation. We have people who may have lost their jobs, people who are struggling and people who may not be struggling at all from the economy but we try and support them and meet their needs if we can,” Mitchell said. As a college student and member of the Denton Church of Christ, Veal has found himself watching his budget more to make sure his money is being spent wisely. “With the economic times being as shifty as they have become lately, I’ve learned to cut back on those things that aren’t necessary. I’ve reduced those things I can consider wants, or at least make sure they can fit into my budget of living,” he said. As Veal looked at the offering plate his girlfriend said, “Go ahead, put the money in the plate.” Veal placed the money in the plate. “Good decision,” she said. “When deciding if I’m going to put money in the offering plate, it always depends on my financial situation that week. Sometimes I am obligated to keep my funds for other reasons,” Veal said. Over the years, the economy has affected everyone in some way. Loren Moore, another member of the Denton Church of Christ congregation, feels that the economy has impacted the church a lot. “I believe that many people have turned back to the church to get the spiritual support they need,” she said. Moore and Veal both feel like even though America is struggling, their faith is what keeps them going to church and continuously giving money. “Everyone has hard times going, but I think during these times people are searching more for something good and some truth in the world. The only place you will find truth, answers, love, joy, family, fellowship, and hope is at church. Those are the reasons I still go to church,” Moore said.

Denton Record-Chronicle

Variety, prospects part of Dentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charm By Casandra Haynes For the Denton Record-Chronicle

Dust fills the air as construction workers drill the roads and bulldoze dirt to make way for the new cement being laid down on the roads. Cars honk at each other as the restless construction workers wipe sweat from their brow. A worker picks up a sign and follows the dusty path that leads to the oncoming traffic bringing the cars to a halt. Loop 288 in Denton has been one of the major development areas in Denton attracting residents of all sorts to the roads lined with restaurants and retail shops that have contributed to the ongoing development of the city. Currently transforming from a medium-sized economic city to a larger one, the city of Denton has undergone various developments with additional ones in the future leading college students and families of all backgrounds to start and continue their life in Denton. The city is slated for a new university football stadium complete with convention center and major conference-style hotel; multi-million dollar retail developments known as Rayzor Ranch and Unicorn Lake; several large housing developments; and more. In recent months, the city has seen its growth just in the hotel industry, with at least six opening or under construction. Two more are on the books for comple-

tion within the next year. Dentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s future also includes a railway that will extend from Dallas to Denton as well as future expansion of the main thoroughfare â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Interstate 35. Denton was declared the 10th fastest growing city in 2006 and 2007 by the U.S. Census Bureau. The community of more than 107,000 residents sits a mere 35 miles north of Dallas along Interstate 35, a main corridor through Denton County, which now has an estimated 612,000 population â&#x20AC;&#x201D; a population expected to double in the next decade. Included in this growing city are three higher education entities leading quite a few people to Denton, including two universities â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the University of North Texas and Texas Womanâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s University â&#x20AC;&#x201D; and North Central Texas College. UNT currently educates about 35,000 while TWU has about 10,000 students and NCTC has about 5,000. Carl Mosier, now working as a hall director at the University of North Texas, said his beginning intentions were to attend UNT and move on to his career like many other college students but things changed. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Growing up, I moved around quite a bit, but Denton has become home for me, while going to school here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve spent more time in Denton than any other place Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve lived and I have thoroughly enjoyed it,â&#x20AC;? Mosier said.

Kyla Welch has lived in Denton for more than 40 years and has seen many people come in and out of Denton. She was brought by her parents when she was 2 years old. She now works at the Denton Community Theater in downtown Denton as the Marketing Director. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Iâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve always found it very interesting that a lot of people come to Denton to go to school and have no intentions on staying but they end up creating a home here because itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such a nice town,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s such an attraction to Denton because of all the fine arts. Things like concerts, plays, and education are in abundance here. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Denton isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t too far away from everything, yet youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re still close enough to Dallas and Fort Worth to experience everything the metroplex has to offer,â&#x20AC;? Welch said. Over the years, Denton has gained its popularity by having a good music scene, plays and other means of fines arts as well as the smaller â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;mom and popsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; shops that remains around the city preserved downtown Square â&#x20AC;&#x201D; adding a variety to Denton life. Sarah Crnkovic, a former resident of Houston, said Dentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s charm is the downtown Square and other surrounding shops. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think the city of Denton felt like it needed â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;normalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; retail stores to fit into the big city life, but it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The small stores give Denton its charm.â&#x20AC;?

Denton County communities range in size from nearly 100,000 to just over 500 — from the suburban areas in southern Denton County to the smaller, agriculturally surrounded communities in the north. In the central part of the county, Denton and the Lake Cities (Corinth, Hickory Creek, Lake Dallas and Shady Shores) continue to deal with the growth flowing north and west from Dallas and Collin counties, respectively. The following information from the North Central Texas Council of Governments includes population estimates and contact information for each of the county’s many communities.

Argyle preserves small-town feel By Charlie Heck For the Record-Chronicle

ARGYLE - “I grew up working for this community and I will die working for it, or saving its,” says Yvonne Jenkins, life-long resident of Argyle. Jenkins sits inside a building home to Scottish kilts, presidential campaign buttons dating back to the 1940s and relics from a town born out of a railroad. The Old Meadows building houses the museum ran by Jenkins dedicated to the history of Argyle. Jenkins has traveled the world, learning about the origin of Argyle, its settlers and keeps it alive in the old building, home of the first and last grocery store. Along the corridor of U.S. Highway 377, south of Interstate 35 sits Argyle. The town of around 3,100 prides itself on the preservation of history, a preservation that will maintain their rural, small town life in the middle of the DFW metroplex. Only four buildings sit along Argyle’s business corridor on U.S. 377 but Argyle is not in the least bit concerned with being the next urbanized, booming farm town. Argyle has enjoyed a 22 percent population growth from 2000-2006, but not one single fast-food restaurant sits within the city limits. To understand Argyle’s imminent desire to maintain its small town is to understand its devotion to history. The first settlers of Argyle, originally known as Pilot Knob or Waintown, began arriving in 1850.

There are two variations to the story of how Argyle became Argyle. One is straightforward and the other is one deeply rooted in history. The Texas Book of History says the town is believed to be named by a railroad worker, after a garden in France. The other, and preferred among locals, traces back to the shores of Argyll Shire in Scotland. Jenkins traveled to Scotland in 1993 and met the Duke of Argyll at that time. “We traced history back to around 1881 when a doctor named David Stuart came from the Argyll Shire and settled around the time of the railroad,” Jenkins said. Irish and Scottish immigrants built the railroad and the name came from the doctor’s and the workers heritage. In 1895, a fire destroyed all public records, along with the original main business district, so it is up to the inhabitants of Argyle to determine which is true and they prefer the Duke’s. Argyle began as a subsistence farming community. “Everyone grew their own vegetables, raised their own cattle, sheep and pigs,” Jenkins said. But after a huge peak in population in the 1930s, its residents began to pack up and move to the neighboring cities. In 1950, only 90 people lived in Argyle. On Sept. 19, 1960, Argyle became incorporated and elected its first mayor. The 1960s and 1970s proved to be the height of Argyle’s development. During that

time Argyle had a newspaper, two grocery stores, several gas stations, beauty shops and one restaurant and bakery. One of the general grocery stores, Meadows General Store, is the home of the appointment-only museum ran by Jenkins. “The original store was not much of a modern day grocery store. We sold chicken feed, hog feed; we bought butter and eggs from the locals. We had screws, nails paint, work clothes, shoes; we had everything but groceries,” Jenkins said. The store ran by Jenkins father and aunt closed in the late 1970s and now its main occupation is to preserve Argyle’s past. While history does run deep in this town through preservation efforts, it is not merely by chance. Argyle’s city council makes sure the town remains the same as it did 50 years ago, despite some small, minor improvements and strategic planning. “In order to maintain Argyle’s rural and natural area, we have a land use plan,” Greg Landrum, mayor, said. Argyle is home to many large-acreage properties that are agriculture exempt, which makes their property tax much lower than a large-acre commercial plot. To maintain Argyle’s level of services to its residents, such as: parks, libraries, schools, we raise property See ARGYLE on Page 24

taxes Landrum said, but now that is not enough revenue. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are trying to get a balanced land use plan that allows enough commercial support for our residents,â&#x20AC;? Landrum said. The town council created a view corridor on FM407, setting commercial development deeper into the land so it is not visible on the road. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are preparing ourselves, knowing that growth will come our way, so we are not trying to figure it out on the run. We have made designated places for commercial businesses but it needs to go where we need it to, in order to support our vision of this town,â&#x20AC;? Landrum said. Jenkins says Argyle is still not big enough to hit developersâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; bottom line. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Some of our residents do want them here, especially a grocery store, but there is not enough people to support the cost of land and infrastructure.â&#x20AC;? The infrastructure is expensive. In the 70s and 80s, the town council had nothing to do with a water company. The rules changed and a water company was born in Argyle and running water became available. That, according to Jenkins, is how the town of Argyle will stay rural. â&#x20AC;&#x153;If you put those utilities in certain areas, those are the only areas where someone can build,â&#x20AC;? Jenkins said. Many things will deter developers from this area but most of all the cost. â&#x20AC;&#x153;The thing that holds many of them up is our infrastructure requirements. The city has gotten smart and has immense impact fees for any developer trying to sell land by the square acre.â&#x20AC;? There was one developer who had plans to build a 60,000-square-foot grocery store. The land was encroaching on the Graham-Argyle Cemetery, one of two, wellpreserved, historic cemeteries in Argyle. The development would spill over into some of the ground maintained by the Argyle Cemetery Association. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Needless to say that was not going to fly with the neighbors and the cemetery board of directors,â&#x20AC;? Jenkins said. So the plan was abandoned. As long as the council and many of the life-long residents keep up their work, there will not be any of those â&#x20AC;&#x153;big townâ&#x20AC;? conveniences anytime soon in Argyle. If the developers want to come to town and can afford the property, place the development where we want, thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fine, Landrum said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Everybody would like to slide to the grocery store on their way home but once it is right over here, they are going to say this is another town on 377 and we are not unique anymore,â&#x20AC;? Landrum said.

Staff report Dentonâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Texas Department of Public Safety office is located in the outskirts of town, next to an industrial park housing chemical and parts warehouses.

Aubrey sees change as growth continues By Mark Campbell For the Denton Record-Chronicle

AUBREY — More than 130 years ago, anyone who was not Native American had to present a passport to travel through the land around Onega, a Cherokee Indian village where Cherokees retreated to seek respite to show they had transcended their tumultuous ways. For years nothing changed until a black steel snake worked its way across the land belching dark soot and whistling sharply. In its wake the newcomers changed the town of Onega into Aubrey. Now, 128 years later, things are changing again as others, like the Cherokee Indians, are getting left behind. Ten miles north of U.S. Highway 380 along U.S. Highway 377 sits the new face of Aubrey. Here, drivers are greeted by warmly glowing neon signs announcing everything from new food specials to daily temperatures. A squat white plaster strip mall filled with paved parking spots sits by fast food restaurants such as Sonic and Chicken Express. Behind them sprawls a modern neighborhood filled with urbanite homes. Across the highway from the vibrant white shops and modern houses resolutely stands the reincarnate of a much older and iconic part of Aubrey; Betty’s. Betty’s, with its square sheetmetal walls and dusty gravel parking lot, a DATCU credit union, the local Diamond grocer and an empty grass lot are the only stores directly across from the new businesses. Outside Betty’s cafe, a sign reads the hours, which except for weekends, generally involves opening early and closing around two in the afternoon. Inside, next to a cow hide on the wall, a plasma screen TV predicts the weather. It is here before dawn people can be found showing old black and white photographs of relatives and historical doodads as well as the morning rush enjoying breakfast before a long day of work. Betty Marie Wilson, a lifelong resident of Aubrey, owns the restaurant. She moved to her present location in March of 2000 after having changed names and locations three times prior. When she first switched locations to her current address, she was the only one in town. Now, she points out, there is a Sonic, Subway, pizza shop, donut store, barbecue restaurant and a Mexican restaurant. More has changed than appearances and businesses. Aubrey is growing and becoming more modernized, she says. Betty fondly remembers when her kids could play ball in the street. If they tried to play like that now they would get hit by a car, she says nostalgically. “I like the quiet little town. That’s how it’s different. Now it takes me 10 minutes to get out on the highway,” she said. Facing Betty’s is the Community Pharmacy, owned by Steve Coomes, a 10-year member of the Aubrey Chamber of Commerce. Coomes opened his pharmacy a little over three years ago after consulting with his accountant and stockbroker and deciding Aubrey was ripe for business. This was aided by the fact that urbanites seeking peace, like the Cherokee before them, could commute from rural and semi-rural areas back into the big cities thanks to the tollway coming out to U.S. Highway 380. With no competition in town and a steadily increasing population in Aubrey, Coomes decided to open his business. If his success can measure growth, Coomes hit the bullseye. Business has been doing well for him since he opened, he says. “This is where it’s happenin’.” A few minutes away from the bustling and growing highway nestled in the heart of Aubrey is downtown. No signs on the highway lead here and anyone driving through would never guess the town moved here after the area near present day U.S. 377 was reduced to charred timber and burnt ash. From Main Street an abandoned peanut processing plant, the Golden Peanut, can be seen looming decrepitly behind the red, freshly painted fire station. Lining

Aubrey the street is the municipal court, where country music plays softly on a new plasma screen when the court is not in session. Standing along Elm Street, off of Main Street, is the Aubrey Police Department with its full entourage of police cars. Bryan G. Barrett, chief of police, recalls in 2001 when only three officers were employed with only three cars, two with over 100,000 miles and the chief’s car with 10,000. Now Aubrey employs seven officers. In the time since Barrett came to work in Aubrey, the town has changed from being an area infested with a relatively high amount of methamphetamine to a much calmer area where the drug is less available and the biggest crimes are property theft and childish vandalism. Aside from the growing and successful police department, Barrett remembers Aubrey a few years ago when there was no motorcycle shop, Sonic, Chicken Express or barbecue place. “If you wanted fast food you had to go to Denton or Sherman or McKinney,” he said. “It was a trip.” Much like Aubrey of old, in downtown there are no modern niceties. Several empty buildings surround the municipal court on all sides, separated only by a street. There are a few businesses. The Cherokee Nation of Texas and Genealogy Center and beauty

“I like the quiet little town. That’s how it’s different. Now it takes me 10 minutes to get out on the highway.” Betty Marie Wilson, lifelong Aubrey resident shop, a small medical business and a bakery are located close to the court. Across from these few holdouts is the last bastion of business in downtown Aubrey’s red brick buildings: Jackie’s. Walking through the door, a little blue fish chime reading ‘Jackie’s’, named after the woman who originally ran the shop, jingles to alert its single worker of a potential customer. Manager Traci Goin lives in Aubrey with her husband and kids. The hardware store has been feeling the worsening economy, she says. Business at Jackie’s, which is kept alive mostly by the ranchers with credit accounts and construction workers who stop by on the

way to work when they have forgotten something, is not doing that great. The Goins’ plans for building a bar next door have been put on hold. Across Main Street from Jackie’s and a little down Elm Street is the Cherokee Nation of Texas and Genealogy Center and beauty shop. Dwayne Carrol, a fourth-generation Aubrey descendant and ex-marine, runs the center and shop. Carrol has been researching Cherokee genealogy since he discovered his heritage in eighth grade. Carrol fights to preserve Aubrey and its heritage. Every waking moment of his life and most of the time he is asleep he is thinking of ways he can help preserve his town; a town which has fought real hard to keep its identity, he says. Currently, the Cherokee Nation in the Aubrey area has 1,300 members, a state building in Aubrey, a grant writer and status as a charitable organization. But they, like the town they are a part of, are planning on growth. Ten years from now the Cherokee Nation in the Aubrey area plans on having a medical center for their elders and children, a recognized school for the children to attend and land publicly owned by the nation, Carrol says. “We start small. build big,” Carrol says — a sentiment that rings true throughout Aubrey.

Growing pains part of city life in Corinth

By Ryan McCurdy For the Denton Record-Chronicle

CORINTH â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Residents of Corinth, Texas feel its growing pains as they wait in bumper-to-bumper traffic traveling a short distance through the city. City planners and developers are working to keep up with the growth spurt. The current population of Corinth is 19,460, according to the latest U.S. Census Bureau report, which shows a 70 percent population increase since the 11,424 reported in the 2000 census. Don Glockel, area supervisor at the Lake Cities Chamber of Commerce, which also serves Corinth, said that at one time the city was so overwhelmed with the rapid growth it eventually got ahead of the infrastructure. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now the city seems to have caught up and is back on track,â&#x20AC;? Glockel said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I remembered Corinth growing the most when the economy was doing well,â&#x20AC;? Glockel said. Corinth is located between Denton and Dallas along the I-35E corridor. Incorporated in 1960, Corinth is a bedroom community with small businesses, housing, childcare, schools, recreation and park areas.. Corinth is home to the local community college, North Central Texas College. Lake Dallas High School is also located in Corinth even though it showcases the title Lake Dallas. Corinth does have a few elementary schools in the school district. Dave Katcher, principal at Lake Dallas High School, spoke on how the growth of Corinth had affected his school. â&#x20AC;&#x153;When I first came here 7 years ago, this school was considered a 3A. There were only 900 students attending at that time. After it grew to 1,000 students, it moved up to a 4A school automatically,â&#x20AC;? Katcher said. Currently, about 1,135 students attend Lake Dallas High School, according to Katcher. The building has had to expand slightly due to the growth of the school. An academic wing was added to the school building to accommodate the growth of its students. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Now there is a total of 60 classrooms in all,â&#x20AC;? Katcher said. Janae Bride, a local resident at the Kensington Park Apartments, said that Corinth is a fairly quiet community with not a whole lot to offer at this time as far as retail shopping and restaurants, but the city has the basic necessities that it needs to thrive. However, FM 2181 is a major headache during rush hour, Janae said. Barbara Cubbage, senior planner at the planning and community development office in Corinth, said no one projected the rapid growth to be what it is today. In 1997, the population of Corinth was around 5,000 and it grew 14,460 in just 12 years, according to Cubbage. Before all of the new developments started sprouting in Corinth, it was mostly agricultural and undeveloped land, she said. Cubbage says that residentially the city has been over 75 percent built out since 2002, but there are still commercial areas for businesses. A Comfort Inn and Suites was recently built in Corinth. A new Childrenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Courtyard daycare facility accommodates more families in Corinth. And a commercial development building is going to be used for professional office space. An Ashton Gardens facility is on the drawing boards as well for Corinth. Ashton Gardens is a Four Seasons wedding facility from â&#x20AC;&#x153;beginning to end.â&#x20AC;? The facility contains a chapel, reception facility, ballrooms and pretty much everything you need to complete your memorable wedding day. The land use plan for Corinth has space set aside for everything from commercial to parks and more. A lot of the land is already developed. A 50-acre development is owned by Margaux Development Company and Minerva Properties, Cubbage said. Margaux Development is a company that specializes in ground-up retail development and master-planned mixed use projects. Basically their company is responsible for bringing in new businesses to the area, officials said. Swisher Road, also known as FM 2181, â&#x20AC;&#x201D; the same road some residents in Corinth complain about being backed up and overcrowded â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is in the planning stage of being widened in November 2010. â&#x20AC;&#x153;FM 2181 will eventually be widened out to six lanes in the future,â&#x20AC;? she said.

New development ongoing in Crossroads By Sarah Neis For the Denton Record-Chronicle

CROSSROADS — Driving east on U.S. Highway 380, Cross Roads is located in the heart of “horse country” known for its picturesque field, ranches and expansive prairie land. The seven-mile stretch that is Cross Roads is full of locally owned businesses and vacant farms with “For Sale” signs stuck in the ground. The main thoroughfare is lined with businesses such as, Prairie House Restaurant, Sonic Drive Thru, Rustic Furniture, Real Estate Corridor, Exxon, Lone Star Consignment and Discount Tire, to name a few. In the midst of all the growth, Denton, Aubrey, Savannah, Providence and Paloma Creek, surround the little town of almost 700 residents. Possibly the oldest house in the town of Cross Roads is the Rock House. It is believed that there was a small settlement there with a gristmill, a blacksmith shop and winery. To the west of the Rock House is evidence of the remains of homes with root sellers and hand-dug wells.

“Growth is a positive adjustment, especially with the economy. It’s a slow progress, but it will really help the businesses around here.” Micki Wyatt, Prairie House restaurant manager Growth in Cross Roads is becoming more abundant as commercial areas develop, along with new residential areas. The Village at Cross Roads will be a 235-acre development with a gated residential gated community. Houses in The Village will start at $500,000 for estate lots including lakes, parks and outdoor exercising trails to use. The planned community features 97 oneacre custom home sites. A proposed retail center awaits development with original plans to bring major retail stores to the region. Patty McCallum, owner of the Real Estate Corridor offices in Cross Roads

and Aubrey, has been extremely busy showing houses all over the North Texas area, she said. McCallum has owned the Cross Roads property for two years now. “I am really excited about the growth and development in the area. I think it’s a positive thing,” she said. A resident in Cross Roads since 1995, she thinks the development will bring in huge job opportunities for the people who lost their jobs during this economic crisis. The younger generation would also benefit from commercial development. “It’s hard for high school and college

students to compete for jobs in the same small area,” she said, adding that development of the major retail center would bring more opportunities. One of several local restaurants, Prairie House, emits the smell of barbecue on the grill from a crowded parking lot. In Cross Roads, the restaurant is the second location which opened in the year 2000. The original location of Prairie House is in Aubrey, still serving customers since it opened in 1989. The wood-framed restaurant is packed with western antiques, numerous stuffed deer heads hanging from every wall. Paintings of western art are scattered throughout Prairie House. Micki Wyatt, who has been the manager of Prairie House in Cross Roads since its opening, says she is very familiar with Cross Roads and the locals. “Growth is a positive adjustment, especially with the economy. It’s a slow progress but it will really help the businesses around here,” Wyatt said. “A lot of people are afraid because of their residential property, but overall it’s positive for businesses,” Wyatt said.

Hickory Creek facing roadway challenges By Sean Ryan For the Denton Record-Chronicle

HICKORY CREEK — The aroma of sweet and tangy barbecue fills the tiny restaurant in Hickory Creek, but owner Gary Kreaps can’t even smell his own made-from-scratch sauces anymore. He’s working seven days a week now, sometimes by himself, to keep operating costs down at Doc’s Hickory Creek Barbecue. “The rent’s goin’ to be the same whether you’re open four days a week or seven,” says Kreaps. “Might as well be open all seven.” The burly proprietor with sandy gray hair stands alone in the quiet restaurant. It’s the lull between lunch and dinner so Kreaps works by himself with help scheduled to come in just before the evening rush. Businesses everywhere are trying to weather the storm of economic woe that grips the entire country as well as North Texas. For some local businesses like Doc’s Hickory Creek Barbecue, however, the only thing that waits beyond the recession is more uncertainty. Hickory Creek, Texas, situated on Interstate 35E between Lake Lewisville and FM 2181, has a master plan. Grand designs for the small town of just fewer than four thousand residents include lake front hotels, major restaurant chains, and upscale mixed-use developments including brownstone-style homes and apartments. The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT)

has anticipated a traffic increase and is planning to widen both the interstate and FM 2181. However, like the major developers potentially interested in Hickory Creek’s plans, TxDOT is feeling the rock-bottom economy and has delayed its own agenda. Kreap’s restaurant sits just off the western side of the interstate at the southern end of Hickory Creek. Eventually, his property will be taken over by the expanding highway, forcing him to move his business or close for good when the town’s development plans get back on schedule which currently has no set timetable according to Barry Steele, Hickory Creek’s economic development consultant. “It’s important to support our businesses, especially restaurants,” said Steele. “Bringing in other jobs will help them out.” Steele feels that Hickory Creek is capable of accommodating existing businesses that will be affected by the town’s projected growth and said each will be considered on an individual basis for financial assistance. The new town center where residents can “work, live and play”, as their motto states, will consist of nearly 80 acres between Wal-Mart, Hickory Creek’s new town hall, and I35E. Steele said the plan was to break ground on the new center this year, but it was very unlikely in the depths of the recession. Besides waiting on the economy, Hickory Creek must create new zoning ordinances for mixed-use developments to accommodate potential developers and builders. Steele said

it could cost the city millions if the proper ordinances are not in place. Currently, there are no zoning ordinances written specifically for developments combining several uses at once, according to Steele. Using the delay to draw up new ones would provide an easy-to-understand set of guidelines for potential developers. Steele speculated that the building process would be more efficient if developers did not constantly have to seek the city’s permission every time there was a change. “We certainly don’t like the delay,” said Steele. “But it’s giving us a better chance to plan.” While some smaller retail developments have been completed within the town, they are struggling to fill the spaces. Cornelius Town Center is a strip mall on Point Vista road behind Wal-Mart and just down the street from Hickory Creek’s new town hall. Brian Ramm of Wells Asset Management handles the nearly two-year-old property which currently has only two businesses operating in it. Ramm cited economy troubles for the shopping center’s emptiness but was optimistic about a future that included the strip mall’s connection to the new downtown center. So, Gary Kreaps waits for the city to start to build. He knows that the city’s progress on the new town center will eventually be followed by the expanding highSee HICKORY CREEK on Page 37

Hickory Creek way, but until then he can only speculate about his options. His customers haven’t provided him with much feedback, either. “A lot of people around here don’t know much about it,” said Kreaps. “They may not even be aware at all.” Kreaps has faith in Steele’s assertion that there would be room for his restaurant in Hickory Creek’s future. “It’s one of the oldest businesses in town and they sound interested in keeping me,” said Kreaps. “A city council member even mentioned relocating me near the lake when the hotels go up.” Kreaps said TxDOT may offer him a grant for a new building behind his current property and out of the way of the planned highway, although a dollar amount has not been discussed. The current restaurant was built over 20 years ago. He also mentioned the possibility of moving on to something else. Now in his 50s, Kreaps hasn’t ruled out retirement when the time comes. With the market in its current state, he’s not in a hurry to sell his restaurant and run. He says that if the price is right one day, however, he would consider walking away. Kreaps owns a timeshare in Cancun, Mexico and hopes to retire there someday. “You ever go somewhere on vacation, and you just feel like you belong there?” said Kreaps. “That’s how I feel when I’m down there.” For now, time is Kreaps’ enemy. He can only wait until the market improves and the wheels of development start to turn again, but how long could that be? “I met with some people from TxDOT a couple months ago at a city council meeting,” said Kreaps. “They told me it could be three to five years before anything happens now.”

KRUM — A lone American flag waves in the breeze and the shrill clang of a single cowbell greets patrons at the only diner in Krum. The low murmur of morning soaps mixes with the conversations of a few customers. Over breakfast they chit-chat away concerning truck deliveries and work acquaintances. Rumbling, idle SUVs and trucks can be seen from the window awaiting their turn at a solitary stop sign on McCart Street, the only main road running through town. The road separates the Krum Diner, home of “the best breakfast in town” from the vacant 99-year-old First United Bank Building. The building is projected to house historical artifacts from the tiny town. These items, a vast majority of them from the original school building, include basketball uniforms, letterman sweaters, report cards, textbooks and faded -red bricks from the old buildings. Krum’s Society of Historical Preservation and descendants of the community’s founding families hope not just to display their proud town’s past but invite citizens living in the newer part of town to become more involved in their community. It’s a goal historical leaders are counting on, but one that is still very much in the works. The building, originally constructed 100 years ago after a fire destroyed everything on the north side of the street, was home to a merger of banks, which eventually became the First United Bank. In October of 2008, the bank moved, leasing the building to Krum’s Society of Historical Preservation for use as the city’s only museum. The process of transitioning the old building into the museum includes obtaining a permit for a handicap restroom, purchasing insurance and any other obstacles that come along, not to mention the $1 year-long lease agreement the historical society has with First United Bank that could eventually turn into a final sale of the building to the society for another $1. Floor plans for the museum reside with possible director Carolyn Hogan. Hogan is a three-year resident of the town. She keeps herself very busy with the Lion’s Club, the parks board, the historical society, library, and her own Antique shop on McCart Street. She traded in her Dallas lifestyle when she moved to Krum and became, as other members of the historical society would say, an “adopted founding father” for the town. She says the museum is a great opportunity for all members of the community to get involved. Calling the more suburban part of the community “new town”, Hogan said newer community members aren’t as involved as the members whose families have lived there their entire lives. The “new towners” live their lives on the east side of the town’s railroad tracks commuting to jobs in the suburban areas of Dallas and Fort Worth. “We’ve got to dangle the carrot in front of the new people.” she said. “We’re trying to make them realize they live in a historical area and we are trying to get them involved.” Another member of the historical society with Hogan is friend Della Davis, a lifelong resident of Krum and the historical writer and archiver of the town’s artifacts. Davis owns 90 percent of the artifacts that will be displayed in the future museum, including the items from the original public school. Owning them since the age of 16, the artifacts are in storage from a past museum she organized on her own. She later gave up the building after the city requested the land be returned for city use. The proposed museum will give a permanent home to Davis’ collection for future generations to appreciate. Although nothing has been finalized, the projected date of the opening for the Krum Heritage Museum is early to mid-summer 2009. The historical society will rely on grants, donations, fund-raising and tax breaks to fund the project. Davis is concerned however that everyone in the community isn’t as enthusiastic about the museum. “I’m not sure everyone is as excited as I am,” she said.

2010 Ford Fusion Hybrid The most fuel-efficient midsize sedan in America

PEOPLE ASK ME: “WHY FORD? WHY NOW?” So I tell them. Today, Ford Motor

2009 Ford F-150 Unsurpassed 21 mpg fuel efficiency

2010 Ford Taurus SHO EcoBoost™: V8 power. V6 efficiency

2009 Ford Escape Hybrid The most fuel-efficient SUV on the planet

Company has separated itself from other automakers. We did not accept bailout money and did not file for Chapter 11. Instead, Ford remains independent and is in a position to succeed. CEO Alan Mulally assured me when he said, “The real difference is in our plan, the strength of our great new products, and our quality, fuel efficiency, safety and value.” As far as I’m concerned, it’s not bragging if you back it up. Now, here’s every reason you’ll ever need to buy a new Ford. Today, not even Honda or Toyota can beat Ford quality.1 Plus, Ford makes 15 vehicles that earned the Top Safety Pick from the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety — that’s almost double what Toyota earned. And Ford has more five-star safety ratings than any other automaker.2 Now that’s the American way.

The new Ford Fusion is the most fuel-efficient midsize sedan in America. The Fusion Hybrid gets 41 mpg city3 — that’s 8 mpg better than Toyota Camry Hybrid! Plus, the gas-powered Fusion beats the gas-powered Camry, Accord and Altima. Ford Escape Hybrid is the most fuel-efficient SUV on the planet with 34 mpg in the city.4 The Ford F-150 was named the 2009 Motor Trend Truck of the Year,™ and FSeries remains the best-selling line of trucks in America for 32 years running. Oh, and by the way, the voice-activated SYNC® system5 in Ford vehicles isn’t available on Honda, Toyota or any other manufacturer. They missed the boat on that one.

bochargers, EcoBoost will create V8 power with V6 efficiency. How’s that for American ingenuity? Shortly, the same twin-turbo technology will be applied to 90% of our engines.Then, in 2010, Ford will start rolling out electric vehicles. I'm sure they’ll be even more fantastic. Bill Utter Ford is very proud to say that we have been here for exactly half of Ford’s 106 years. For the last 53 years Bill Utter Ford has been North Texas’ Friendly Ford Dealer, and as a familyowned and operated dealership you can count on us to be here for many more years to come.

So there are plenty of reasons to buy a new Ford — and not simply because we’re American. We have great products for you right Recently, speaking of Ford and now and even more on the way. the economy, CEO Alan Mulally Please come in today and drive said, “As we come through this, we’re going to be a turbo machine one. on the other side.”

New bridge to bring more to Lake Dallas By Stephanie Daniels and Robyn Siegel For the Denton Record-Chronicle

LAKE DALLAS â&#x20AC;&#x201D; The small-town community that sits 15 miles south of Denton has not seen much growth in the last couple of years. However, in hopes of attracting more people and jump-starting the sluggish economy, the town has decided to undergo a face-lift in hopes of revitalizing Main Street. The street is home to small businesses, old restaurants and an older elementary school. But thanks to state taxes, match grants from the state and money from developers, the prospects for an update are promising. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My goal is to provide a destination for people to come to and also provide more jobs and small businesses,â&#x20AC;? said Tony Marino, mayor of Lake Dallas. The Sonic sitting adjacent to Main Street would also be included in the remodeling to match two new brick faĂ§ade business buildings with an upstairs leading to loft space, he said. A new bridge linking Lake Dallas and Little Elm and a revitalized downtown area is attracting attention from developers, business owners and residents alike. The new bridge will not only connect Lake Dallas to Little Elm, but in order to get to and from both cities, travelers will have to go down Main Street. City Secretary Beverly Weikum says the new bridge will be attracting new businesses such as QT off Swisher Road. But Lake Dallas is hoping for more retail with the available acreage for sale to bring in more tax dollars. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We are trying to get some interest in the city of Lake Dallas and that was the place to start,â&#x20AC;? she added. Adding the new business lofts and making the old downtown a little more updated in hopes of sparking some attention is what the city has deemed its first priority. Two developers that have already taken advantage of building offices and lofts are excited to see what the new bridge will bring to them. The first set of office buildings and lofts were finished about two years ago. Small businesses such as State Farm Insurance and Bogeyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Hair Salon occupy the office space. Just upstairs from the office buildings are the lofts, housing residents and giving extra office space for the businesses occupied just below them. The office space and lofts have been completely occupied since their finish. The owner, Terry Lantrip, plans to add a few more behind Main Street. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think this is a good plan for downtown Lake Dallas. It has such a distinct look and feel with a lot of potential for redevelopment,â&#x20AC;? he said. As for the unfinished buildings right next door, plans for another office space and lofts are set for March 1. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Lake Dallas has been a sleepy little town for a long time so the updates on Main Street are absolutely a great idea,â&#x20AC;? said Mike Mayberry, owner of the newest office buildings. Mayberry decided to build his buildings on Main Street right next to the first lofts because he believes Lake Dallas is full of potential and Main Street is the heart of Lake Dallas. Streets surrounding Main Street have also felt the business boom from almost nothing but small diners that seem to have a new name every month, to a much more inspiring area to build a small business. Walking just a block north from Main Street is a small street called Gotcher. The street almost resembles a road in the 1960â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s with wooden houses varying from small houses with white paneling to even smaller houses with blue paint jobs. Toward the end of the street, Steel Magnolias, a house converted into a Salon and Spa, stands out with its newly mustard paint job. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have only been here since December 2008, but business has been doing really good,â&#x20AC;? said Karen McCown, co-owner of the spa. McCown said she believed the entire street of houses would soon be updated and then made into commercial businesses as part of the Main Street addition. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We love it, we really couldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be more excited,â&#x20AC;? she said.

Pilot Point plans return to its roots

PILOT POINT â&#x20AC;&#x201D; More than 150 years ago, frontier Indians ran a supply route called the Shoenee Trail through portions of North Texas. In those days, pilots and wagon drivers used the highest point on the trail to locate the best place to cross the river. The hill became known as the Pilotâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Point and a new city was born. About 18 miles northeast of Denton on U.S. Highway 377 sits the 3-square-mile settlement of Pilot Point, one of the smaller cities in North Texas. Approximately 4,300 people, some descendants of the early settlers, call this high point on the North Texas plains home. Many of the churches have been serving the community for more than 120 years. The First Baptist Church and the Pilot Point Church of Christ both were built prior to 1870. At one time, the city had 27 active churches. Today, only 13 remain active. The oldest brick building in Denton County is located in downtown Pilot Point. Although it served as a candy store for many years, the building is currently not in use. Karen Walterscheid, community relations director for the Pilot Point Chamber of Commerce, grew up in Pilot Point. She feels that there is a genuine compassion shared between locals which is hard to find elsewhere â&#x20AC;&#x201D; something she experienced firsthand. â&#x20AC;&#x153;My father was well-known in the town,â&#x20AC;? she said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He died around 1:30 a.m. in the morning and by 7 oâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;clock, we didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t think anybody knew, and people were bringing breakfast over.â&#x20AC;? Those who call Pilot Point home do so for many different reasons, but most seem to be drawn to the sense of camaraderie that the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s small-town atmosphere offers. Phyllis Tillery, Pilot Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Community Library director, moved here with her family 18 years ago. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We moved here when my children were small,â&#x20AC;? Tillery said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted to raise them in a small town, in small schools.â&#x20AC;? What used to be only lodges, churches and small shops has developed over the years. While these establishments continue to give Pilot Point its history â&#x20AC;&#x201D; restaurants, bakeries, and even a beer barn and a winery bring the city into more modern times. During the past nine years, Pilot Pointâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s population has increased by about 700 people. Although the city continues to grow, Tillery believes that it will have no problem hanging onto its roots and values. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We grow slow. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s controlled growth,â&#x20AC;? she said. About a year-and-a-half ago, Howard Kimble and two other locals discussed the need to restore and reopen the townâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s long inactive Opera House. While steps are being made, Kimble and other residents know that much more time, effort, and money will be needed to completely restore the old gem. Sunlight floods through the large windows in the front of the Opera House, spilling onto an easel that sits in the front foyer. A large picture from 1923 of the Opera House in its glory days rests atop the easel. â&#x20AC;&#x153;There were five sets of 9 1/2 foot tall double doors going across the front of this building,â&#x20AC;? Kimble said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;It had a real western feel to it. Our objective is to restore the whole place. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just a matter of money.â&#x20AC;? Even though the Opera House has only been reopened for about a year, there have already been many successful productions held there. Two locally written and cast melodramas were performed late last year, musical performances from country to rock to choral have also been held there. Joyce Wood, Pilot Point resident and member of the Main Street History Committee, is hopeful that public support will continue to grow for this project, and that the Opera House can eventually be completely restored. â&#x20AC;&#x153;We donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have a big turnout yet but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s growing,â&#x20AC;? Wood said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Even though itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s not very active at this point, weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re doing our best to reactivate the square with the Opera House. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Maybe thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ll be the spark that gets things going and provides a place for the fine arts as well as any kind of music.â&#x20AC;?

Dave Ross, seen in a file photo above, is one of several Ponder business owners who have created strong attractions, which draw steady customers.

Entrepreneurial spirit part of Ponder business blend By Phil Hausmann For the Denton Record-Chronicle

PONDER — The right side of South FM156 has a turn that leads onto West Bailey Road. West Bailey Road contains a small parking lot crammed with trucks ranging from a white Ford 4x4 F-150 to a Red Dodge Ram 3500. Adjacent to both sides of the parking lot are some of the local business and restaurants of Ponder. The mustard yellow and red bricked building on the right corner is the Ponder Boot Company. The restaurant located further right of the Ponder Boot Company on West Bailey Road is Ranchman’s Cafe. During a time when factories and machines mass produce items, Ranchman’s Café has taken a frontiersman’s like approach in how it produces one of its products. Chef Jeff Dover cooks up the beef, imported from Nebraska, Kansas, and Iowa, after butcher Foster Baker slices the sirloins, short loins, and many other parts, trimming the fat off the cow and tossing it into a large, white, plastic bucket. This begins Ranchman’s unique recycling approach of the beef fat. Baker had originally met Ranchman’s owner Dave Ross back in the early 1970s when they both worked at Something on the Side, a restaurant off Frye Street in Denton while also attending classes at UNT. “We used to see each other all the time, man,” Baker said. Baker and Ross would later cross paths once again. “Back when I had a Shamrock Station in Denton, Dave came around and wanted to sell me some of this lye soap that he made,” Foster said. “This was in 85’, so I bought some of this soap from em’. He worked out here, see. He came up with the idea of making soap out of the oil, because there’s a constant supply of oil.” The Ponder Boot Company has taken a similar stance to Ranchman’s in that it hand crafts its products as well. Owner Georgia C. Linam creates handmade boots formed out of every hide from alligator hides imported from the Gulf Coast to ostrich hides from West Texas, California, or New Mexico, briefcases, and even alligator golf bags. The company was started 35 years ago in the Ponder Bank building, famous for having been robbed by Bonnie and Clyde, by Paul McCoy. The boots created by Linam are different from Western Apparel chains, in that they are not only handmade, but are also constructed entirely of leather, rather than rubber or cardboard, and are only seamed in the back. “It’s pretty sad nowadays, because just about everything is done just on a computerized machine system, and it doesn’t matter if they say they’re handmade,” Linam said. “That means somebody pushed a button with their hand.”

Staff report SANGER â&#x20AC;&#x201D; Trains roar across the track on Railroad Avenue past downtown Sanger where youths cruise around on bicycles, a few cats scurry across the street, and trucks trace the paved roads. A seemingly sleepy town, Sanger has seen its share of growth in recent years, bringing new faces and new places to the community of an estimated 6,950 people. In the center of Sanger, which is east of Interstate 35 and south of FM455, is a haven of downtown shops and other businesses offer an eclectic array. Some parents play with their children in the park located in the square, and a few residents can be found chatting in front of historic shops and buildings. Compared to urban areas, Sanger is slower paced, but residents may have to get used to a higher level of traffic in the near future, some officials say. More people are being drawn to the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s location because it has plenty of pastoral space, but is still within an hourâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s drive to the Dallas-Fort Worth area. The development of additional residential homes and new businesses continue in Sanger, which has seen a number of new subdivisions, such as Quail Run, Sable Creek and Ranger Creek, are already in the phase of home construction. Two companies brought plans to build more than 5,000 residential homes while other companies have plans in the works for 1,500 houses. In recent years, the cityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s borders expanded north of the Wal-Mart Distribution Center to Chisum Road, west of Interstate 35 between Lois and Belz Road, and west of Ranger Creek. A main event, Sanger Sellabration â&#x20AC;&#x201D; which started 28 years ago â&#x20AC;&#x201D; is held downtown in September. It showcases more than 150 vendors with about 3,000 attendees. The celebration of Sangerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s heritage features vendors promoting their businesses and products, arts and crafts, entertainment and food contests.

Denton Benefit League helps many local groups

By Charlie Heck For the Denton Record-Chronicle

When Laura Brewer moved to Denton in 1994, she wanted to find a place that would enhance her efforts to help her community. Brewer wanted something that would distribute her time and money throughout many places while only being in one organizations, a sort of nonprofit for nonprofits. Two years ago she found the Denton Benefit League. The DBL, founded in 1971, began as a small group of local women with the purpose of fundraising and volunteering in the Denton community, said Debbie Vanderlaan. Vanderlaan is this year’s DBL president. The entire organization is run through volunteer work. There is no paid staff and every year the new president holds six board meetings at their home. Since the DBL’s founding, over 35 years ago, the organization has raised more than $3.3 million. With 268 members, each year DBL logs over 30,000 hours of volunteer work. The money raised each year is donated to local nonprofit organizations. Last year various recipients received aid. The Interfaith Ministries of Denton received school supplies for 900 economically disadvantaged children. Metroport Meals on Wheels received $6,000 for home delivered meals in Argyle and Justin. The Music Theater of Denton received new speaker stands. SpiritHorse Therapeutic Riding Center received a new horse trailer. DBL’s mission statement says, “The purpose of this organization shall be to raise funds for local philanthropic purposes and to promote volunteerism in the community. This organization shall be nonpolitical, nonsectarian and nonprofit in all its policies and activities.” “One hundred percent of our fundraising is given back to the community. Anything we need to pay for comes from our annual dues,” Vanderlaan added. The dues vary depending on active or partial participation in the league. The social aspects of this organization are felt throughout their biggest fundraisers, an annual charity ball, photo tabloid and an event chosen by the president each year. The photo tabloid comes out once a year and this year Brewer is in charge. “Its Denton’s brag book,” Brewer said. But it is also a less expensive way to donate to the organization. A quarter-page picture runs round $225; an underwriter for the ball has to donate at least $500. Inside the tabloid are pictures of individuals, couples or families. “We have watched a lot of our children grow up through that book,” Vanderlaan said. The tabloid is published in the Denton Record Chronicle the Sunday after the ball. For the past 6 years, every fall the DBL hosts “Sensational Settings.” “It is a tablesetting extravaganza,” Vanderlaan said. There is a tea in the afternoon and last year the DBL had more men participate than any prior years. “Probably because it was at the country club and the men could go off and do their own thing,” Vanderlaan said. For the first time, last year it was held at the Denton Country Club. Anyone can participate in the showcase but there are a lot of designers who display their “art” on tables. The DBL likes to have fun but there is definitely a lot that goes into running this organization. Vanderlaan spends 30 to 40 hours a week planning events, organizing fundraisers and volunteering for events with the majority of those hours are marked for the annual DBL Charity Ball. This year Vanderlaan knows there will be a higher number of nonprofits seeking help from the League. The DBL’s Grant Allocations Committee begins accepting applications each summer from nonprofits in Denton County. “There is an application, interview process and training class that must be completed before our review,” Vanderlaan added. For the 2008-2009-grant term, 53 nonprofits applied for grants, 38 were selected. Last year the DBL gave out more than $200,000 in grants.

As second grade students scamper into Jill Coulter’s classroom to get to their desk before the bell tolls, a “welcome students” sign above the door greets them and paper kites they decorated sway in the air conditioning’s wind.

In 2000, Denton ISD had about 13,500 transportation, is currently students and grew to about 22,500 students working to get DISD school in the 2008-2009 school year. buses equipped with Global Currently, Coulter has 18 students in her Positioning Systems for the disclass, but has had as many as 22, which is trict to have real-time informathe maximum allowed by law. tion.

It was response to readily know which very crowded,” Coulter said. “Now we are students need more help in down to 600.” understanding the lesson. Ray Braswell, superintendent of the Denton school district, attributes the growth to the sprawl of Dallas and Fort Worth heading toward Denton. Property is being developed along U.S. Highway 380 to the east and along Interstate 35 as well. There were no houses around McNair when it opened in 1987. Engulfed by fields and cows, there was one house down the road, Coulter said. Once the district started growing, houses were being built. “It was weird seeing a house rather than fields,” Coulter said. “The changes are interesting to watch. The most interesting was watching land disappear.” The school started with 22 buses to commute almost all the students to school. Now the only school buses McNair has available are for deaf education and day care. Before 2000, Denton ISD opened one to three new schools in a decade. Since then, they have been opening one to three each year. Ten, or half of their current elementary schools, have opened since 2000, said Sharon Cox, director of communications and community relations. The 2008-2009 school year witnessed the opening of three new schools: Blanton Elementary, Stephens Elementary and Harpool Middle School. Stephens Elementary, one new school that opened this year, has about 320 students. Elementary schools are seeing the biggest growth, Braswell said. Kindergarten through second grade is seeing a “rather large addition.” “Losing kids to the new schools was sad, but then we had more grow in,” Coulter said. “We lost several teachers because they changed schools; but they still have a wonderful staff.” The 2009-2010 school year will be the first year Denton ISD will not open a new school in nine years, Braswell said. The economy may be difficult right now, but Denton ISD is only feeling a slight aftershock, officials say. By 2035, the school district is anticipating between 65,000 to 75,000 students, said Gene Holloway, director of transportation. In summer 2009, DISD will be breaking ground for Cross Oak Ranch Elementary, scheduled to open August 2010. In addition, the 11th middle school is also planned to open 2011. DISD is “not growing as fast, but we’re still growing,” Braswell said.
