$86K in taxes owed on Oak St. property Buildings at risk of condemnation if not improved, now for sale By Dalton LaFerney Staff Writer dalton.laferney@dentonrc.com

A “FOR SALE” sign now stands at the corner of Oak and Fry streets, where inside apartment buildings some

people still live despite owner Bahram “Bobby” Naderi having given out eviction notices. The property at 1226 W. Oak St. comes with $85,727.88 in delinquent taxes including fees, racked up from 2012 to 2017. Part of the reason the tax bill hasn’t been paid is because officials did not ask the owner to pay it until last year, according to records obtained by the Denton Record-Chronicle. Local government officials have

shown great interest in either demolishing the buildings or forcing Naderi to fix them, because living conditions in some of the units there are unsafe, officials have said. In February, the Denton Health and Building Standards Commission ordered Naderi to make needed improvements for the buildings or risk having them condemned and demolished.

A “FOR SALE” sign is posted on a property at the intersection of Oak and Fry streets. The property at 1226 W. Oak St. comes with nearly $86,000 in delinquent taxes, including fees, racked up from 2012 to 2017.

While beauty industry news has shaken the stock market for beauty companies in recent weeks, Sally Beauty Holdings representatives and industry experts aren’t concerned about implication for the company. When Amazon announced a new professional beauty store for industry professionals, stock in Denton-based Sally Beauty and competitors such as Ulta lost value. However, the announcement doesn’t signal direct competition for Sally, said Jeff Harkins, vice president of investor relations and strategic planning. “All of those brands are found in retail stores and they have been for a while, but they’re not what we consider pro brands,” he said. “Their definition of professional beauty isn’t the same as ours.” Instead, the brands Amazon is rolling out are already readily available for customers, both professionals and consumers. Lines like Rusk and OPI are available at retailers such as Walgreens and CVS in addition to beauty stores. Sally Beauty’s stock dipped more than $2 a share June 24. It started the day at $14.79 a share, and closed at $12.30. More than a week later, the stock closed at $12.50 Friday. Industry analysts wrote throughout the week about how the stock didn’t rebound, with Yahoo Finance saying the stock “looks bleak.” While the company will not comment on stock prices, Harkins said Sally is not going to change its plans for the coming year and that this

‘Unauthorized departures’ aren’t uncommon

By Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe

Staff Writer pheinkel-wolfe@dentonrc.com

Residents frequently walk off the Denton State Supported Living Center campus and Texas’ 12 other institutions for people with developmental disabilities, state records show. LeCarvin DeKevin “Kevin” Lewis, 41, was reported as walking off the Denton campus midafternoon Saturday, June 29. Instead, however, he was found dead behind the campus kitchen on Thursday.

Data released this past week from the Texas Health and Human Services Commission showed that residents made an “unauthorized departure” from the Denton State Supported Living Center or one of Texas’ other centers 143 times so far this fiscal year. “Often an individual may start to leave our campus in plain sight,” state spokeswoman Christine Mann wrote in an email. “We do not have locked centers and we do not restrain people for merely walking away, so staff will accompany them to ensure their safety.” Several years ago, a few residents frequently left

WEATHER NBC 5’S DENTON 3-DAY OUTLOOK HEATING UP THIS WEEK The month of June featured a lot of severe storms across North Texas. While that resulted in a lot of wind damage, it also brought some good news. Rainfall in June was above normal, and that helped keep temperatures about 1.5 degrees below normal for the month. But now we are in July and the weather pattern has changed. An upper level high will result in sunny, dry weather for the next week, with temperatures approaching 100. The first 100 degree day usually occurs by July 1, so we are due.

INSIGHT DENTON Does TxDOT have a new contractor for FM2181 yet? Not yet. According to Tony Hartzel, spokesman for the Dallas District, TxDOT employees are continuing to negotiate a “takeover” contract for the job. “They’re still in discussions. It’s an unusual process,” he said. Texas Department of TransporDRC file photo tation officials canceled the original $35 million contract with Munilla Construction Management after finding the company in default. (MCM disputed the finding, but still lost the contract.) Since then, TxDOT has been in talks with the company’s bonding agency and other construction companies to finish the work. The project will widen FM2181 (Teasley Lane) to six lanes between Lillian Miller Parkway and FM2499 and was supposed to be finished by March 2020. Hartzel said the new completion date will be further into 2020. — Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe What do you want to know? Email your question for Insight Denton to pheinkel-wolfe@dentonrc.com.

Drunken man forces his way into his ex’s apartment, police say By Zaira Perez Staff Writer zaira.perez@dentonrc.com

Police arrested a 31-year-old man around 5:30 a.m. Friday after he allegedly forced his way into his ex-girlfriend’s apartment in the 500 block of Texas Street while intoxicated, according to a police report. A 21-year-old woman told dispatchers her ex-boyfriend had been sitting outside her apartment for more than an hour. The report states he was angry because he didn’t know where his belongings were. The two had been living together for about a month and the woman told police she was moving his belongings out of the apartment. The man asked if he could go in for a glass of water around 5:30 a.m, according to the report. She opened the door to tell him she would bring him water but not allow him inside. He allegedly forced the door open when she tried to close it, according to the report. The report also states he shoved her onto the couch, but she said it didn’t cause her pain. Officers determined the man was intoxicated because he was slurring his words and his speech “was not making sense,” he had difficulty balancing, his eyes were red and bloodshot and they could smell alcohol on his breath, according to the report. Police said he also refused to elaborate on how he got inside the apartment. The man only said he was “forceful,” according to police. Police learned he had previously been in the Fry Street area, about a mile and a half away, and asked him how he got to the apartment. The report shows his response was “Like, I’m here, man,” and police believe he drove himself there. The man told police he would grab his things and leave; however, the officer who wrote the report said he believed the man was a danger to himself or others based on his level of

intoxication and the physical assault that had occurred. He was arrested and charged with alcohol public intoxication.

Other reports

1200 block of East Hickory Street — A 25-year-old woman told police her estranged husband threatened to kill her, according to a police report. Officers arrived at the residence and found the suspect, who said he was there to get some of his paperwork. A terroristic threat report was taken and he was cited for criminal trespassing. 1700 block of East McKinney Street — Police arrested a 33-year-old man on an assault charge Friday evening after his husband told police the man grabbed his neck and caused pain, according to a police report. The victim, who is also 33, had scratches on his neck, the report states. His husband was arrested and charged with assault causing bodily injury family violence. 300 block of West University Drive — A business owner told police Friday morning an employee had stolen about $5,000 from the business, according to a police report. The investigation is ongoing and no arrests were made.

The Disability Committee of the Denton County Democratic Party will host a disability rights rally commemorating the 29th anniversary of the signing of the Americans with Disabilities Act. “ADA29” will be held at 7 p.m. July 27 at the Courthouse on the Square in downtown Denton. “It’s important to celebrate the anniversary of our civil rights,” said Val Vera, lead organizer of the event. “At the same time, we need to bring to light the lack of access and inclusion the disability community still faces.” The event will feature a proclamation from the city, a march around the courthouse and speeches from disability rights activists from the Dallas-Fort Worth area, including Julie Ross, Alejandrina Guzman and Lauren Taylor, Ms. Wheelchair Texas from Denton. The Americans with Disabilities Act was signed into law on July 26, 1990. The civil rights law prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. However, local and national businesses, programs and services still violate the law, the committee says in its news release. There are more than 66,000 Denton County residents with disabilities, including 13,000 in Denton.

How lawmakers avoided true property tax reform Bills that would’ve brought real change died in Texas House

ere it is, weeks after the Texas Legislature shut down for the next year and a half, and I can’t get these numbers out of my mind. 185. 83. 1485. 878. They aren’t my lottery picks. These numbers belong to House bills that, if passed, would have gone a long way towards fixing our broken property tax system. Real reforms. These are the bills I loved that died. Instead, we have a new property tax law, already in effect, that is half-baked. The appraisal system will get standardized across the state. You’ll receive more information on your taxes and what you pay. You’ll even have a chance, in elections, to lower the boom on big government tax increases. But your taxes won’t drop enough to notice. I tried to look at the positive in my recent summary of its benefits — “Breaking it down: This is how the new Texas property tax law affects you.” But I can’t go on pretending that this is some grand achievement. The grand achievement bills are the dead ones I can’t stop thinking about. 483. 1444. 1551. 1703. These bills would have brought greater fairness to a terrible system. The Watchdog wondered what went wrong with these bills. How did they die? And why?

Lucky 13

One bill I loved would have made sales prices public, eliminating a lot of the guesswork in appraisals. Others would have lowered the 10% limit allowed for a maximum annual increase in taxable value down to 5%.

Dave Lieber THE WATCHDOG COMMENTARY

One wanted to help Texans 65 and older, their surviving spouses and disabled people with an across-the-board tax freeze, not just school taxes, but city, county, hospital and college districts, too. Another bill promoted elections to pick a chief appraiser, making that crucial job more responsive to the public. The Watchdog reached out to 13 lucky lawmakers who offered these idealistic bills. Told their staffers that their dead bills would, in this space, get one more gasp of life. Six cared enough to talk. The crucial player wouldn’t talk. I noticed in my postmortem examination of bills I loved that died that most passed away in the same place — the meeting room of the House Ways and Means Committee, which handles tax bills. Chairman Dustin Burrows, R-Lubbock, ushered the new tax law through the House, but not those bills I loved that died. This week, his spokesman told me he was busy at work and unable to talk to The Watchdog.

‘A bandwidth thing’

Instead, I talked to someone on his committee. State Rep. Matt Shaheen, R-Plano, offered a bill that would have imposed term limits on members of appraisal review boards. “The complaint I received from constituents is that the good old boy environment starts to impair,” he said. “When somebody is on the board for a long period of time,

they start developing solid relationships with staff, and their independence seems to deteriorate over time.” Even though he was on the committee that handles tax bills, he couldn’t move his bill out. “It was a bandwidth thing,” he said. There’s only so much space. “At the end of the day, we’ve got to make a determination where we’re going to spend our time.” I asked the Republican if stronger reform bills didn’t get passed because leadership — governor, House speaker and lieutenant governor — didn’t want to go that far in making substantial changes. He answered that unlike recent House sessions that operated top-down, this year’s was the opposite. Members drove the agenda more, he said. “Our constituents wanted real property tax relief,” he said. “It just so happened that the top three glommed onto that and led.”

can somehow get a sense on the House floor. They’ve got one direction they’re going on, and they’re not listening to anything else at that point. I think it’s a leadership thing.”

‘Try again’

Two other rookies, like Pacheco, tried to go big in tax reform, but they were stopped at the front door. Freshman state Rep. Michelle Beckley, D-Carrollton, offered a bill trying to fix a loophole that allows commercial properties to pay less in taxes, percentage wise, of

a property’s true value when compared to what homeowners pay. She also offered a bill making sales prices public. “A lot of people think a freshman carrying these big bills is odd,” she said. “Things do move really slow in the statehouse.” Freshman Jared Patterson, R-Frisco, offered a bill that would have based the appraised value of a property on a five-year average. He lobbied the Ways and

Means chairman, he said. “Ways and Means was obviously pretty busy.”

What’s next?

Patterson says he’ll try again next time. Same goes for the others. “I’m going to try again,” Pacheco said. “Faster and smarter. Maybe I’m going to make some noise.” Sounds good, except for that word “maybe.” No maybe. Just make the darn noise. 1977. 2008. 1816.

‘A leadership thing’

It’s no surprise that a Democrat disagrees. Rookie state Rep. Leo Pacheco, D-San Antonio, offered a bill freezing all property taxes for seniors and disabled persons. It died in the ... well, you know. The idea behind the bill came from a public policy and urban planning class he taught at San Antonio College. His students believed a total freeze would protect the most vulnerable and help them keep their homes. “I went to committee members, but nobody wanted to vote on it,” he said. “Why is that?” he was asked. “I’m not sure,” he said. “We think, honestly, it was coming from the top. They had their Senate Bill 2 thing going on” — that’s the tax bill that passed — “and they didn’t want any other bills like this interfering. That’s my gut feeling. “Nobody told me, but you

State: No improvement at youth lockups The latest state review of Texas juvenile lockups shows no apparent improvement in operations as inspectors found teenagers shouting obscenities at guards, little supervision, assaults and severe understaffing. The Houston Chronicle reports that the Office of the Independent Ombudsman for the Texas Juvenile Justice Department released findings last month showing troubling conditions continue at the agency’s five secure lockups. It was found that a power outage in April at the facility in Gainesville, long seen as having the most severe problems, led to a “chaotic scene” where juveniles ran freely around the dorms. Lawmakers this year approved a bump in pay for correctional officers. But juvenile justice experts says broader issues must be addressed, such as closing large facilities in favor of smaller ones that promote individualized therapy for troubled teens.

2 dozen police officers disciplined over posts Dallas police officials say more than two dozen officers face disciplinary measures after they were found to have posted bigoted or other offensive material to social media in violation of the department’s code of conduct, including mocking protesters who were pepper-sprayed. Officials announced Friday an internal review determined that 25 officers posted or shared objectionable material. Four of those officers have been placed on administrative leave because of the extreme nature of their posts. The findings come after the Plain View Project last month released a database cataloging thousands of bigoted or violent posts by police officers in several states. More than 1,000 public posts from people identified as current and former Dallas officers were flagged by researchers with the project, which spent two years looking at the personal Facebook accounts of police from Arizona to Florida. The Dallas posts also included joking about police shooting victims.

ty chief appraiser, said that in order for Naderi to legitimately use the religious exemption, he has to be named in the church’s ownership. Clerihew said Naderi was not. Tax records show the property’s tax bill was paid in full for every year except for the 201217 period. Naderi is paid up for 2018 as well. When Naderi was first notified in January 2018 that the religious exemption was given to him in error, he had 30 days to protest before an appraisal review board. Clerihew said Naderi never did.

But not much has been said about how Naderi got by without paying property taxes at that location for six years. Just weeks before HABSCO moved on the property, Naderi became officially delinquent on his tax bill. In a May 2018 letter, the Denton County tax assessor/collector gave Naderi until Jan. 31 of this year to pay $60,542.28. But now, with penalties added for being late, the property owner now owes nearly $86,000. In 2012, Naderi was given a religious exemption on the property. It was not until January 2018

that officials with the Denton Central Appraisal District took a closer look and found the exemption should have never been given in the first place, the records show. The listed appraiser who granted the exemption was let go from the appraisal district, and officials with the appraisal district and the Denton County tax assessor officials began sending letters to Naderi letting him know he had to pay taxes on the property for 2012 to 2017, according to the records and interviews. Rudy Durham, the chief appraiser, declined repeatedly to name the appraiser who gave the exemption. He also declined

to go into why it wasn’t supposed to have been granted in the first place. “I don’t know,” he said Wednesday. “But it was found to be erroneous.” But another employee did confirm the appraiser was let go in February because of this error as well as for errors on multiple other properties. Documents show Naderi claimed that Singing Oaks Church of Christ used the property. For what, the documents do not show. Naderi could not be reached for comment. A call to the church was not immediately returned. George Clerihew, the depu-

Deputy dies after medical emergency A Houston-area sheriff’s deputy has died after suffering a medical emergency while responding to a stabbing call. Harris County Sheriff Ed Gonzalez says 39-year-old Omar Diaz was assisting at the scene of a stabbing early Saturday when he became ill. He was taken to a hospital where he died shortly after arriving. A cause of death has not been determined. Diaz, who was married and had a daughter, was a patrol deputy assigned to northwest Harris County. He began his career with the sheriff’s office in 2009 as a detention officer. Gonzalez says Diaz “served his community with honor and distinction.”

Up to 30K aftershocks possible after California quakes Trump expresses commitment to state’s recovery By John Antczack, Daisy Nguyen and Marcio Jose Sanchez Associated Press

RIDGECREST, Calif. — Officials in Southern California expressed relief Saturday that damage and injuries weren’t worse after the largest earthquake the region has seen in nearly 20 years, while voicing concerns about the possibility of major aftershocks in the days and even months to come. No fatalities or major injuries were reported after Friday night’s 7.1-magnitude earthquake, which jolted an area from Sacramento to Mexico and prompted the evacuation of the

Navy’s largest single landholding, Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake in the Mojave Desert. The quake struck at 8:19 p.m. Friday and was centered 11 miles from Ridgecrest, the same area of the desert where a 6.4-magnitude temblor hit just a day earlier. It left behind cracked and burning buildings, broken roads, obstructed railroad tracks and leaking water and gas lines. The light damage was largely due to the remoteness of the area where the earthquake occurred, but Gov. Gavin Newsom cautioned after touring Ridgecrest that “it’s deceiving, earthquake damage. You don’t notice it at first.” He estimated more than $100 million in economic damages and said President Donald Trump called him to offer fed-

eral support in the rebuilding effort. “He’s committed in the long haul, the long run, to help support the rebuilding efforts,” Newsom said of Trump. Only 28,000 people live in the Ridgecrest area, which is sandwiched between more populated areas of Southern California and Las Vegas’ Clark County. But seismologists warned that the area could see up to 30,000 aftershocks over the next six months. April Hamlin said she was “already on edge” when the second quake rattled her Ridgecrest home. She and her three kids initially thought it was another aftershock. “But it just kept on intensifying,” she said. “The TV went over, hanging by the cord. We heard it break. We heard glass

Nominee to lead FAA faces questions about Delta tenure By David Koenig and Tom Krisher AP Business Writers

The Federal Aviation Administration is looking into whether Delta Air Lines violated FAA rules about promoting safety at a time when President Donald Trump’s pick to lead the agency was in charge of Delta’s flight operations. The FAA investigation grew out of allegations by a Delta pilot that the airline retaliated against her for raising safety concerns. The Associated Press obtained a copy of an FAA letter sent to the pilot’s attorney detailing the investigation. The FAA declined to comment on the probe. Trump’s nominee, Stephen

Dickson, is under growing criticism from Senate Democrats over his initial failure to disclose his involvement in the case of the whistle-blowing pilot, who was grounded a few weeks after she raised safety issues to Dickson and other Delta executives. Dickson authorized grounding the pilot for a psychiatric evaluation. Outside doctors later cleared her, and she has since returned to flying at Delta. Dickson testified before the Senate Commerce Committee in May, and the committee is scheduled to vote on his nomination Wednesday. The FAA has been without a permanent administrator since January 2018.

Republicans hold the majority on the committee and in the full Senate, and Dickson had initially looked like a cinch to be confirmed. Dickson’s failure to disclose his role in the whistleblower’s complaint, however, has delayed and raised uncertainty about his fate and emboldened Democrats. On Friday, the highest-ranking Democrat on the committee, Maria Cantwell of Washington, announced she will vote against Dickson. White House spokesman Judson Deere responded Friday that Trump picked Dickson based on his experience overseeing flight operations at Delta.

Biden apologizes for segregationist words

Shopping plaza blast injures 21

Former Vice President Joe Biden on Saturday apologized for recent comments about working with segregationist senators in his early days in the U.S. Senate, saying he understands now his remarks could have been offensive to some. “Was I wrong a few weeks ago?” Biden asked a mostly black audience of several hundred in Sumter during the first day of a weekend visit to South Carolina. “Yes, I was. I regret it, and I’m sorry for any of the pain of misconception that caused anybody.” Biden’s comments came as he and rival presidential candidate Kamala Harris were set to circle each other while campaigning today in South Carolina, the first Southern state to vote in next year’s primary and a crucial proving ground for candidates seeking support of black Democrats.

A vacant pizza restaurant exploded Saturday in a thundering roar at a South Florida shopping plaza, injuring more than 20 people as large chunks of concrete flew through the air. The blast flung debris widely along a busy road in Plantation, west of Fort Lauderdale. The restaurant was destroyed, and nearby businesses and cars were damaged. Though firefighters found ruptured gas lines afterward, authorities said it was too early to determine a cause.

breakage in the other rooms, but all we could do was stay where we were until it stopped.” With the possibility of aftershocks and temperatures forecast to reach 100 degrees over the next several days, officials were taking precautions. The California National Guard was sending 200 troops, logistical support and aircrafts, Maj. Gen. David Baldwin said. The Pentagon had been notified, and the entire California Military Department was put on alert, he said. Naval Air Weapons Station China Lake said in a Facebook post that nonessential workers were evacuated and operations halted. The epicenters of both quakes were on the base, and officials said they are continuing to assess damage. Officials said most employees live off the base

and in Ridgecrest, but they authorized the evacuation so those who live on base can be eligible for reimbursements. The California Office of Emergency Services brought in cots, water and meals and set up cooling centers in the region, Director Mark Ghilarducci said. State highway officials shut down a 30-mile section of State Route 178 between Ridgecrest and the town of Trona southwest of Death Valley because of a rockslide and severe cracking. The move left Trona temporarily cut off. California Department of Transportation spokeswoman Christine Knadler said crews worked through the night to patch the roadway, but it remained rough and uneven. In Ridgecrest, local fire and police officials said they were

initially swamped by calls for medical and ambulance service. But police Chief Jed McLaughlin said there was “nothing but minor injuries such as cuts and bruises, by the grace of God.” Lucy Jones, a seismologist at the California Institute of Technology and a former science adviser at the U.S. Geological Survey, said the new quake probably ruptured along about 25 miles of fault line and was part of a continuing sequence. The seismic activity is unlikely to affect fault lines outside of the area, Jones said, noting that the gigantic San Andreas Fault is far away. Egill Hauksson, another Caltech seismologist, said the probability of a magnitude 7 over the next week is about 3%, but one or two magnitude 6 quakes are expected.

Bossa nova pioneer Gilberto dies at 88 Joao Gilberto, a Brazilian singer, guitarist and songwriter considered one of the fathers of the bossa nova genre that gained global popularity in the 1960s and became an iconic sound of the South American nation, died on Saturday, his son said. He was 88. Joao Marcelo said his father had been battling health issues though no official cause of his death in Rio de Janeiro was given. “His struggle was noble. He tried to maintain his dignity in the light of losing his independence,” Marcelo posted on Facebook. A fusion of samba and jazz, bossa nova emerged in the late 1950s and gained a worldwide following in the 1960s, pioneered by Gilberto and Antonio Carlos Jobim, who composed the iconic “The Girl From Ipanema,” which was performed

Chesapeake Bay getting more sediment When the Conowingo Dam opened to fanfare nearly a century ago, the massive wall of concrete and steel began its job of harnessing water power in northern Maryland. It also quietly provided a side benefit: trapping sediment and silt before it could flow miles downstream and pollute Chesapeake Bay, the nation’s largest estuary. The old hydroelectric dam spanning the lower Susquehanna River is still producing power, but its days of effectively trapping sediment in a 14-mile long reservoir behind its walls are over. Behind the 94-foot high barrier lies a massive inventory of coal-black muck — some 200 million tons of pollutants picked up over decades from farmlands, industrial zones and towns.

accused it of abducting Warmbier, who had traveled there for a guided tour ahead of a study abroad program in Hong Kong. The Warmbiers say their son was tortured after being convicted of trying to steal a propaganda poster and imprisoned for months. The 22-year-old died days after being returned to the U.S. in a vegetative state in 2017. North Korea has rejected accusations by relatives that it tortured Warmbier and said he was provided “medical treatments and care with all sincerity.” President Donald Trump has condemned Warmbier’s treat-

ment but said earlier this year he did not believe North Korea’s leader, Kim Jong Un, knew about it or would have allowed it to happen. North Korea did not respond to the wrongful death lawsuit that accused it of detaining Warmbier at the Pyongyang airport “in an attempt to extract various concessions from the United States government.” U.S. District Judge Beryl Howell ruled last year that North Korea “more likely than not barbarically tortured Otto to extract a false confession” and used his lengthy prison sentence as leverage to further its foreign policy objectives.

She ordered North Korea to pay $501 million for its “barbaric mistreatment” of Warmbier. In the latest court filings, Warmbier’s parents claim a right to the North Korean cargo ship, which the U.S. seized in May because it was carrying coal in violation of U.N. sanctions. The vessel, North Korea’s second-largest cargo ship, was first detained in April 2018 by Indonesia while transporting a large amount of coal. The U.S. later announced it had seized the 17,061-ton carrier in a firstof-its kind enforcement that came amid a tense moment in relations with North Korea.

But the identity of the Shadow Brokers, and whoever was responsible for a leak with extraordinary national security implications, will remain a public mystery even as the case concludes. Authorities have established that Martin walked off with thousands of pages of secret documents over a two-decade career in national security, most recently with the NSA. He pleaded guilty to a single count of willful retention of national defense information and faces a nine-year prison

sentence under a plea deal. Authorities have never publicly linked Martin or anyone else to the Shadow Brokers, and the U.S. has not announced whether it suspects government insiders, Russian intelligence or someone else entirely. The question is important because the U.S. believes North Korea and Russia relied on the stolen tools, which provide the means to exploit software vulnerabilities in critical infrastructure, in unleashing punishing global cyberattacks on businesses, hospitals and cities. Yet none of that is likely to be mentioned at Martin’s July 17 sentencing. The hearing instead

will turn on dramatically different depictions of the enigmatic Martin, a Navy veteran, longtime government contractor — most recently at Booz Allen Hamilton — and doctoral candidate at the time of his arrest. Prosecutors allege Martin jeopardized national security by bringing home reams of classified information even as, they say, he once castigated colleagues as “clowns” for lax security measures. Soon after his arrest, they cast aspersions on his character and motives, citing a binge drinking habit, his arsenal of unregistered weapons and online communication in Russian and other languages.

Centers staff member was with them, Mann said. On average, there are about 4.5 staff members for every resident in state supported living centers. In four of the cases, the unauthorized departure was attributed to a home visit. The 55 times that residents walked away unaccompanied between last October and June of this year, they were located within four hours of when they were first reported missing, Mann said. The Denton incident remains a concern for Angela Reynolds-Biggs, whose daughter, Amber Reynolds, lives there. “A lot can happen in an hour, on or off campus,” Reynolds-Biggs said. Denton has seen a very low proportion of walk-offs over the past five years compared to other centers. The population of the Denton center has hovered around 450 people over the past five years, and the center has reported 10 or fewer walk-offs each year since 2014. There was only one walk-off reported in 2017. The El Paso State Supported Living Center, by comparison, has reported from 15 to 65 walkoffs per year over the past five years. Currently, 97 people live at the center. State supported living centers collect a lot of data on the residents and their care, in part because federal monitoring teams visit every state supported living center in Texas two times per year. The independent monitoring began 10 years ago. In 2008, news reports revealed a “fight club” at the Corpus Christi center. Caregivers had pushed residents into fighting with each other and took videos for their amusement. Federal investigators stepped in and found some residents were exploited, neglected or abused. The U.S. Department of Justice sued the state under civil rights statutes. State officials agreed to independent monitoring under the supervision of a federal judge as part of a settlement agreement that was to last five years. Centers improved in their

IN THE KNOW: WALK-OFFS AT STATE SUPPORTED LIVING CENTERS Officials with the Texas Health and Human Services tally residents’ “unauthorized departures” at each of the state supported living centers. The walk-offs often happen in plain sight, and staff members usually accompany residents when they do walk off. For those times a resident walks off unaccompanied, they generally are returned to campus within four hours. The following from THHS shows the number of residents, staff and walk-offs at each state supported living center:

standards of care, but not enough to end the federal supervision at the five-year mark. In 2014, state officials began talks to close and consolidate the facilities, citing rising costs to meet those standards. However, those talks appear to have gone nowhere, even though the cost of care per resident has risen 61% in nine years, from $12,328 in 2010 to $19,840 in 2019. Texas has more large-scale residential institutions than any other state and has not closed any since 1996, although the number of people living in those centers has dropped by half. None of the centers can close without legislative authority, Mann said. Supporters, including the families of some residents, say the centers offer a safe, appropriate place to live. Those supporters, along with public employees’ unions, lobbied against closing and consolidating facilities in 2015 and again in 2017. Introduced in 2019, House Bill 3080 proposed closing only the

Austin State Supported Living Center, but it died in committee without a hearing. State Sen. Jane Nelson’s staff said she was traveling this week and unavailable to answer questions about the apparent legislative standoff. Nelson, R-Flower Mound, is chairwoman of the Senate Finance Committee, which oversees the state budget. Critics say the state’s continued priority funding for the centers comes with other costs. There is no waiting list for people to live at the centers. But Texans who prefer low-cost, community-based living may have to wait years for services, according to the Texas Council for Developmental Disabilities, a state agency. Currently, more than 10,000 Texans have been on a waiting list for home-based services for nine years or more. PEGGY HEINKEL-WOLFE can be reached at 940-5666881 and via Twitter at @phwolfeDRC.

Why is Texas dragging its feet on special ed?

This editorial was first published in The Dallas Morning News. Guest editorials don’t necessarily reflect the Denton Record-Chronicle’s opinions.

ometimes it is better to put off for tomorrow what should’ve been done today. But when it comes to helping Texas students in special education, that shouldn’t be the motto of the agency under pressure to fix a system that’s been broken for more than a decade. If you aren’t up to speed on this issue, it might just be because it’s an important issue that hasn’t gotten anywhere near the attention it deserves. Here is what’s going on: Nearly two years ago, the federal government conducted an investigation into special ed in the Lone Star State and found some very disturbing things. In short, the feds concluded that school districts turned away students who qualified for special education. The net result was that the state saved money (special education isn’t cheap), but those who really paid the price for this were the very students who are supposed to be enrolled in special education over the course of a decade. Now, a year and a half later, the Texas Education Agency says it needs extra time to implement a federally mandated overhaul. It wants a new deadline of June 2020. Keep in mind the TEA originally said it could implement its reforms by January 2019, so it is already six months late. Frustrating? Well, you might say that. Our response here is to say it’s absolutely crucial to get these reforms right, but the TEA shouldn’t just be able to count on getting lenient extensions of its timeline. It needs to be open and transparent about what’s going on, it needs to adopt a sense of urgency, and it needs to acknowledge that each year that slips by is a year lost by those who are counting on special education. The inevitable rippling effect of TEA’s delays are already apparent. Texas’ school finance system, for example, is now waiting to provide recommendations to help students with disabilities until the TEA’s promised changes are made. Meanwhile, students are seeing this in the classroom. Texas is facing a shortage of quality teachers statewide as schools scramble to accommodate students. These concerns alone call for immediacy. But by moving its target date to June 2020, the TEA is signaling that it hasn’t given special education the priority and attention it deserved. At this point, there’s not much that can be done except for putting a spotlight on the TEA and pressuring it to make it right it in the end. Texas needs to make it clear that all of its children are a priority. As it is, only 41% of special education students in the state are approaching grade level in reading and math, compared with 75% of all Texas students. Texas is a great state, but this state of affairs shouldn’t stand. We need to get special education right, and sooner rather than later.

This day in history: July 7 Today is Sunday, July 7, the 188th day of 2019. There are 177 days left in the year. On July 7, 1981, President Ronald Reagan announced he was nominating Arizona Judge Sandra Day O’Connor to become the first female justice on the U.S. Supreme Court. In 1846, U.S. annexation of California was proclaimed at Monterey after the surrender of a Mexican garrison.

Time to let parties speak for themselves F olks, it seems to me that some members of our American political parties need to call a timeout. People have been rude and just plain mean to anyone who votes differently than themselves, even in the pages of this worthy newspaper. Don’t you suppose it would be better if Republicans stopped telling us what the Democrats think and the Democrats stopped telling us what Republicans want? Wouldn’t it be a wiser use of our time if Republicans and Democrats spoke for themselves instead of each other? Here’s a novel idea: Instead of telling us what Democrats want, let’s have Republicans talk about Republican values and aspirations. And instead of telling us what a poor job Republicans have done, why not have Democrats focus on their own party’s accomplishments and plans in a positive way? Part of the problem is that they ascribe all sorts of exaggerations and extremes to each other, focusing on outcomes that only the most radical people want. For example, a Republican person wrote in the comment section of this Opinion page that Democrats want “open borders.” That is completely wrong; there are very few Democrats — and only the most extreme — who stand against protecting our borders. The overwhelming majority of Democrats do not want open borders. Yet, Republicans attribute this desire to all Democrats. And a Democrat friend told me Republicans do not want health care for the poor. That is wrong. Most Republicans are in

favor of some form or another of government-sponsored health care with only a tiny minority being against it. Yet Democrats speak loudly and forcefully proclaiming that Republicans do not care about the poor. Honestly, Republicans do care about the poor. They may not show it in the same way that you would, but they do care. When people make such exaggerations, they demonize the good people who are just as American as anyone else. And that is the point: We are all Americans. We all want what’s best for our country. Only the most bizarre people want to “destroy America.” We just disagree as to what is best and how to get there. It really does not help that we spread untruths about each other, call each other names, and try to convince people that the other party is evil. I have heard people talk about the other party so forcefully that I could not get in a word to ask, “Who in the other party authorized you to speak for them?” Have you listened to political candidates when they promise that they will “fight” for us? Who do you suppose they will fight? The Viet Cong? Al-Qaida? No. They will fight other Americans, and we end up with political parties throwing punches at each other rather than working together. Wouldn’t it be better if candidates promised to “work” instead of “fight” for us? I am not suggesting that you compromise your values or change your beliefs. It just seems better if we remember that just because people disagree with us, it does not make them un-American or crazy. Their opinion is just as valuable as ours, don’t you think?

Letters to the editor Seeking answers about our roads

In your June 29 Hugs & Shrugs editorial, you stated that Sally Beauty owed the newspaper access to local business executives because Denton residents wanted straight answers. I do not know about straight answers from Sally Beauty, but we sure could use some from the Texas Department of Transportation and the city of Denton. Maybe they owe you, too! Why has all work on FM2181/Teasley Lane ceased? Should have been completed by now. (Not even any equipment sitting on the side of the road.) How come the roadway to connect the east side of Brinker Road with the west Interstate 35E service road is being delayed until the last part of the project? Would not that being open relieve congestion from the Loop 288/I-35E intersection? That kind of working together is what TxDOT and the city does not do. Maybe you could do some investigative journalism and find out why the relationship between the two has been so bad for the residents for so long. Probably something as silly as a couple, one works for one, the other for the other, got divorced, and no matter what, it is a bad idea and I’m not doing it. I think that is what you owe us residents. Don French, Sanger Editor’s note: The stoppage on Teasley was explained in this February article: https://bit.ly/2RKj2Li.

Refreshing take from MSNBC on guns

Waking up? This article is from Page 77 of the July 2019 issue of the NRA magazine

American Rifleman. Sometimes even the worst of the media inadvertently stumble upon the truth. On April 30, MSNBC reported that the socialist government of Venezuela was running over citizens with armored vehicles. MSNBC reporter Kerry Sanders, seeking to explain how the government could oppress the population to this extent, invoked the disparity of power between the government and the people. He noted: “You have to understand, in Venezuela gun ownership is not something that is open to everybody. So if the military have the guns, they have the power, and as long as Nicolas Maduro controls the military, he controls the country.” These admissions, however unwitting, were a refreshing contrast from the usual MSNBC rhetoric that tends to favor the most far-reaching forms of gun control. But while the political elite hide behind the guise of “common-sense gun laws,” in reality they believe that they should be the only ones protected by guns. The rest of the population, in their view, is not to be trusted. Anti-gun MSNBC made a big mistake in actually promoting the need for the Second Amendment! The public has the right to protect themselves from criminals and governments run like the Maduros of this world. The men and women of the NRA have understood this since 1871. Sad that this lesson has come too late for the people of Venezuela. Jim Penton, Denton

have been fighting against skyrocketing property taxes since 2003 — even before I was an elected official, because property tax rates were driving people out of their homes. It was also clear to me that high property taxes had become the major threat to Texas businesses and our economy. So when Senate Bill 2 was passed and signed by Gov. Greg Abbott earlier this month, I could not have been prouder. Senate Bill 2 will require cities and counties to go to the people for a vote before they can increase their revenue by more than 3.5% plus any new local growth. To put it bluntly, Senate Bill 2 requires cities and counties to stay within their taxpayers’ ability to afford their local government. If cities and counties believe they must have more funding for any reason, they can ask voters for an increase in the next regularly scheduled election. Before Senate Bill 2, every homeowner was at the mercy of their rising appraisals. Now the power is in the taxpayers’ hands. City and county officials were the only people opposed to Senate Bill 2, and they fought hard to try to defeat it. Failing that, some local governments have already begun misinformation campaigns telling local taxpayers that the state has “cut” local property taxes so they will need to lay off employees or stop local programs. This is not true. Senate Bill 2 does not cut anything — it simply requires local cities and counties to keep their annual revenue growth at 3.5%. That is a much higher increase than most people get in their paychecks every year. Senate Bill 2 passed on a bipartisan vote in both the Texas Senate and the Texas House because lawmakers from all over the state — urban, suburban and rural — heard from their constituents that reducing property taxes was their top priority. The average property tax increase across Texas is estimated at about 7% a year, but in some areas it has been much higher. During the hearings on this issue, Texan after Texan came to Austin to tell us that high property taxes were forcing them out of their homes and destroying established communities. Property tax increases on businesses were even higher. Gov. Abbott signed Senate Bill 2 at Wally’s Burgers in Austin, where the owner told us his property taxes had increased a whopping 44% in the past year and 80% over the past decade. Small businesses cannot sustain that kind of increase. Senate Bill 2 will help ensure that businesses like Wally’s Burgers don’t close down, taking their jobs with them. Some local officials are already looking for ways to maneuver around Senate Bill 2. There are proposals to get rid of the homestead exemption and threats to slap excessive fees on residents. Texas House Speaker Dennis Bonnen and I have jointly announced that we will eliminate any loopholes designed to circumvent the property tax reforms in Senate Bill 2 in the next legislative session. Taxpayers should also know that House Bill 3, the school finance reform bill, caps local school revenue at 2.5%. It also provides $5 billion for immediate property tax relief for home and business owners. Keeping Texas communities strong and Texas businesses thriving is my top priority. That’s why skyrocketing property taxes had to be reined in and why cities and counties should begin the work of learning to live with a 3.5% plus growth annual revenue increase. DAN PATRICK is the lieutenant governor of Texas.

Internet she said, her productivity and the privacy of her patients are affected because of the unreliable nature of their internet service. “I told my husband, ‘How can I work from home?’ Say the internet is out and I need to go somewhere. Where am I to go?” she said. “Some people can go work at Starbucks, some people can work at the library. I can’t do that with confidentiality. I can’t do that with HIPAA [health privacy rules].” Barkley’s service is provided via DSL by Grande Communications. Poor broadband quality leads to another concern for her when she’s conducting evaluations from their home — the risk of further traumatizing a child who has just entered the foster care system, she said. “They don’t know me. They don’t know who I am, and I have to say, ‘Can you say that again? Can you say that again?’” Ashley Barkley said about low speeds when using video chat to evaluate patients. “Say they are discussing abuse. I have to ask them three, four, five times because my internet is that bad.” When she tested broadband speeds at their home, she said, download speeds registered at an approximate 4.88 megabits per second (mbps). High-speed internet is defined as a download speed of at least 25 mbps, according to the Federal Communications Commission. In the recent months and weeks, residents affected by the lack of reliable high-speed internet at the Preserve have voiced their concerns and frustrations to the Denton City Council. Connie and Lester Hudson addressed the council during a meeting in early May about their experience without highspeed internet at the Preserve. Connie Hudson said her concerns are not necessarily about convenience but rather an impact to their productivity. “It is not just about the conveniences we have come to take for granted,” she told the council about activities such as banking,

However, gaining access to their VPN was “nearly impossible,” Lester Hudson said, because of the poor service quality of their internet provider. HughesNet delivers satellite internet service to the Hudsons’ home, he said. The quality of their internet service is often slow or intermittent, Lester Hudson said, because of their provider’s low bandwidth provisions. Lester Hudson, whose background is in computers and telecommunications, said there are inherent disadvantages to satellites compared to other broadband services. For example, a storm on the other side of the globe can affect the quality of their internet service, he said. During a neighborhood meeting Monday at the Hudsons’ home at the Preserve, city officials met with residents to discuss additional concerns and

Sally doesn’t change the company’s competition. Instead, they’re focused on rolling out a new digital application for their loyalty members and other e-commerce initiatives. “We have our opinions but we don’t share those,” he said. “We’re focused on the long term.” Linda Mihalick, the senior director of Global Digital Retailing Research Center at the University of North Texas, said even if Amazon is successful, Sally will keep a hold of the market. In price comparisons, right now Sally has an advantage. “I like Amazon, too, and there’s press and noise about it, but as a simple sampling, three of the four products were more expensive,” she said. “It’s really about how Sally’s reacts to this and how they adapt and say, ‘We can do this, too.’” Plus, Sally has existing relationships with stylists and salons, Harkins and Mihalick both said. Stylists are relationship builders, plus Sally’s represen-

tatives help customers understand their products and host information classes — something Amazon can’t compete with, Harkins said. “One of the reasons people love us so much is we have more than 1,000 direct sales representatives in the field,” he said. “This is a very high-intensity relationship and education process, and there’s a finite amount of stylists out there. This isn’t retail.” Overall, Mihalick said he believes that between new initiatives and retail stores, Sally will be able to adapt and succeed despite Amazon’s launch. “I’m positive and bullish about them because they have a lot in their tool kit,” she said. “My overall opinion is I think Sally is just a solid business — they have to leverage the assets they have [and] they just have to look at them differently.”

provide updates on prospective services that providers are considering. In attendance were Stuart Birdseye, assistant to the city manager, at-large council member Deb Armintor and Melissa Kraft, the city’s chief technology officer. A predominant concern among residents — aside from aspects pertaining to entertainment, social media, convenience and productivity — was their homes’ safety and security. Many neighbors say the lack of reliable high-speed internet means they can’t use many fea-

OBITUARIES David Richard “Dick” Dameron David Richard "Dick" Dameron (84) passed away peacefully on June 30, 2019 at The Village Assisted Living Center, in Denton TX. Dick was known affectionately as "Coach" to many athletes, students, golfers and friends across his long and successful career. He was passionate and energetic in his work with young people, touching thousands of lives across 30+ years and three continents, helping student athletes learn to achieve individually and as teammates on his many championship level teams. Dick started his coaching career in Hot Springs, Arkansas, had frequent ventures in the business world and served US service members and families for 11 years, coaching football and basketball teams internationally in DODD High Schools in Europe and Japan. He found and challenged many golf courses along his journeys around the world. Dick Dameron was born Sept 26, 1934 in Springfield, MO. Parents Jim and Dorothy Dameron saw him excel in all sports through his high school career. He was a passionate patriot, and joined the US Navy after high school, serving on the USS George Clymer during the Korean Conflict. After leaving the Navy Dick attended Arkansas Tech University in Russellville, AR on a basketball scholarship. There he met and fell in love with the Homecoming Queen, Gail Moore. They married June 17, 1956 and were still in love to his dying day. Dick's favorite scripture was Matt 7:7. Dick was preceded in death by his parents James Kelly and Dorothy Serene Dameron, along with two grandchildren, Kristin Lynn Dameron and Hunter Maguire Dameron. Dick is survived by his loving wife Joan Gail Dameron, two sons and daughter-in-laws, David Kelly and Teresa Maguire Dameron of Lantana, TX, and Robert Kim and Debbie Key Dameron of Lawrence, KS. Dick and Gail have six grandchildren; Aubry Dameron of Lantana, TX, Wesley Dameron and wife Adriana of Vancouver, WA, Cole Dameron and wife Amber of Leonard, TX, Jonathan Dameron and wife Haley of Huntsville, AL, Logan Dameron of Lantana, TX and Krystle Joneson and husband Mike of Omaha, NE; in addition to 12 great grand children Chloe, Luke, Eva, Asher, Noah, Cade, Ty, Hannah, Taylor, and Brynlee Dameron, and Emma and Ava Joneson. A memorial service will be held at DeBerry Funeral Home Denton, Texas at 11 A.M. on Monday July 8, 2019. In lieu of flowers the family requests memorial donations be made to the Gary Sinise Foundation - Honoring America's Veterans at www.garysinisefoundation.org/veterans/donate

tures designed to protect their houses. “We can’t have security cameras on our home,” Ashley Barkley said. “When we first moved in, [Daniel Barkley] put security cameras in, but we kept getting notifications, like alarms going off that would say, ‘Motion 11 minutes ago.’” During the meeting, Birdseye said the city of Denton is in discussions with internet providers CenturyLink and Charter Communications to determine if high-speed internet access can be expanded to residents at the Preserve. However, he said that both providers have requested certain caveats from residents prior to expanding services. CenturyLink, according to Birdseye, requested an additional contribution of at least $42,500. This expense, he said, could not be paid for by the city of Denton because of limitations on what cities can demand of providers and, in turn, what can be provided to residents by the city. For reference, if the city were to cover the additional amount requested by CenturyLink, it would amount to an unconstitutional gift of public funds, he said. Instead, residents at the Preserve would have to cover the

costs of CenturyLink’s requested contribution themselves or obtain a neighborhood empowerment grant to help reduce costs, he said. Denton’s Neighborhood Project Matching Grant aims to empower residents to improve quality of life through citizen and government partnerships. Grant funds are awarded on merit with a maximum $10,000 per project, according to the city. As for Charter, Birdseye said, the service provider has requested “letters of interest” from affected residents to determine whether a large enough market exists for expanded service at the Preserve. Concluding Monday’s meeting, Armintor said that in to-

day’s world she views internet access as a basic utility, similar to electricity or water. Although the city operates as a facilitator in discussions with providers and is limited in what it can provide, Armintor said she’ll continue to advocate for and work toward a solution for Preserve residents. The Denton City Council will discuss broadband availability at the Preserve during a work session July 16 at City Hall, according to a future agenda item. The council expects to receive updated reports from internet providers about potential services and next steps, according to Armintor. RYAN HIGGS can be reached via Twitter at @HiggsUNT.

Serena rolls into fourth round / 4B

US out to cap French summer with trophy By Anne M. Peterson Associated Press

Alessandra Tarantino/AP

Alex Morgan celebrates after scoring the United States’ second goal of a Women’s World Cup semifinal against England on Tuesday in Lyon, France. Morgan leads the team, and the Golden Boot race, with six goals heading into today’s final against the Netherlands.

LYON, France — The United States is about to conclude its summer in France with an opportunity to further cement its place as the best team on the international stage. The U.S. faces the Netherlands today for the Women’s World Cup championship. A victory would give the Americans a second straight title and their fourth overall, more than any other nation “I’m like a kid in the candy story right now,” U.S. star Megan Rapinoe said. “This is the absolute best stage. I already feel more anxious and more nervous than in any of the other games.” The United States has won a record 11 straight World Cup matches dating back to 2015 in Canada, surpassing

Norway’s record from 1995-99. The team has also been undefeated in a record 16 World Cup matches, surpassing Germany’s run between 2003 and 2007. “We’ve celebrated the amazing moments. We’ve dug in, looked each other in the eye in the hard moments and gone through things as a team,” Rapinoe said. “And we get to this final moment and it’s one more game and it’s really just about experiencing that game in its fullest for the last time.” The Americans face a Dutch team on the rise. After reaching the knockout round in only its first World Cup four years ago in Canada, the team won the

European championship for the Netherlands’ first major trophy. Dating back to the Euros, the Dutch have won 12 straight games in major tournaments. They have star power in Lieke Martens, who was the FIFA Women’s World Player of the Year in 2017. She scored twice in the team’s 2-1 upset victory over Japan to open the knockout stage but she injured a toe in the celebration and it’s bothered her ever since. In the Netherlands’ 1-0 extra-time victory over Sweden on Wednesday in the semifinals, Martens said it was painful. The United States defeated England on Tuesday night in its semi, giving the Americans an extra day to recuperate. “As a player, you always want to play See WORLD CUP on 4B

Drama marks opening of Tour Defending champion Thomas goes over handlebars in crash

BRUSSELS — Apart from the celebrations of Eddy Merckx’s first victory at the Tour de France half a century ago, nothing went according to plan on the race’s opening day.

Top returning wide receivers in Denton area By Reece Waddell Staff Writer reece.waddell@dentonrc.com

There was little debate about who was the Denton area’s best receiver last year. When the dust settled on the 2018 football season, Argyle’s Dillon Carter stood head and shoulders above the

rest. Reeling in 50 catches for 1,308 yards and 19 touchdowns, Carter led area schools in yardage, touchdowns and yards per catch. The Texas Tech baseball commit posted a staggering 26.2 yards per reception.

But with Carter gone after graduating, the door is open for someone else to take over the area’s top spot in 2019. We continue our series breaking down the top statistical returners in the Denton area. Here’s a rundown of notable wide receivers:

In cycling-mad Belgium, defending champion Geraint Thomas was caught in a crash Saturday and toppled over his handlebars in the finale of the first stage. The race leader’s yellow jersey ended on the shoulders of a relatively unknown rider who switched from zealous teammate to ace sprinter. After the pile-up tore the peleton apart and played havoc with sprinters’ teams, Mike Teunissen posted the biggest win of his career with an unexpected yet remarkable stage win at the expense of former world champion Peter Sagan, the king of sprints in recent years at the Tour. Caleb Ewan, an up-and-coming sprinter, took third place on the finish line in Brussels. The first days of the Tour are always tense and marred by race incidents, and this year’s race is not going to be any different. “The finale was not dangerous,” Teunissen said after an impressive burst of power in the final meters that allowed him to pip Sagan. “It’s only because the riders were nervous that it was dangerous.” The stage could have turned into another nightmare for Thomas’ Ineos team, which is already without four-time champion Chris Froome. The British rider was ruled out of the Tour last month after suffering multiple career-threatening injuries at a warm-up race. See TOUR on 4B

Pineda, Twins topple Rangers By Brian Hall Associated Press

MINNEAPOLIS — Michael Pineda struck out a season-high nine over six efficient innings, Jason Castro had two hits and three RBIs, and the Minnesota Twins beat the Rangers 7-4 on Saturday. Pineda (6-4) gave up five hits and a run on a solo homer in the sixth inning by Elvis Andrus. The big right-hander had his most strikeouts since 2017 with the New York Yankees prior to a Tommy John surgery that sidelined him for all of 2018. Marwin Gonzalez homered for Minnesota, which lead the majors with 166 home runs this year and matched its total from last season. Gonzalez is

the 10th Twins player to reach double digits in homers, one shy of a club record set in 2016. Taylor Rogers picked up his 12th save with 2 1/3 scoreless innings and five strikeouts. Jesse Chavez (3-4) surrendered five runs — four earned — on five hits and two walks over five innings for Texas, which has lost six of seven. “I think that something that we were doing, especially in June, was setting the tone of the game early,” Andrus said. “Scoring a lot of runs early. Right now, it’s not happening. I think we need

to get back on that.” Minnesota signed Pineda to a twoyear contract in free agency last year, knowing the first year of the deal would mostly be spent in rehab. He was pitching in rehab games last season before being shut down with a knee injury. Coming back this season, the 30-year-old struggled to a 6.21 ERA in six starts through the end of April but started to show steady progress. He’s allowed one run in four of his last five starts with a 2.83 ERA over that span. Shin-Soo Choo had three hits and Willie Calhoun added a two-run homer for the Rangers. See RANGERS on 4B

Sweden beats England for third NICE, France — Kosovare Asllani sent Sweden on its way to a 2-1 victory over England for third place in the Women’s World Cup on Saturday night, but the midfielder almost didn’t play in the bronze medal match. Asllani was taken off the field on a stretcher during Wednesday’s semifinal loss to the Netherlands following a head injury and was taken to a hospital. And the 29-year-old revealed that as late as Friday she was told that she wouldn’t be able to play. It was a third bronze medal for Sweden. Asllani gave the Swedes the lead in the 11th minute as they took advantage of early struggles by England. Sofia Jakobsson had doubled Sweden’s lead before England got into the game with Fran Kirby halving the deficit in the 31st minute. Ellen White thought she had tied the score but her goal was ruled out after the video review determined there had been a handball. Had the goal stood, White would have moved to the top of the goal standings in the race for the Golden Boot. White has six goals, the same as Alex Morgan — who has her beaten on assists.

Park falls into four-way tie for lead ONEIDA, Wis. — Sung Hyun Park made her seventh birdie in 11 holes to build a three-shot lead and still had a par 5 to play Saturday, a daunting position for those trying to catch the No. 1 player in the Thornberry Creek LPGA Classic. It all changed so suddenly. Park hit into the water on the par-5 15th and three-putted from about 20 feet for birdie. That was followed by a bogey. Now the tournament is wide open going into the final round. Park had to settle for a 3-under 69, leaving her in a four-way tie for the lead with Shanshan Feng (65), Tiffany Joh (66) and Ariya Jutanugarn, who missed a 4-foot par putt late in her round and shot 67. They were at 20-under 196. Also in the mix is Yealimi Noh, the 17-yearold from California who turned down an offer to play at UCLA to go pro this year without having a card on any tour. She got in through Monday qualifying and has played like she belongs. Noh was one shot behind.

British Open refuses Daly request ST. ANDREWS, Scotland — Organizers of the British Open have refused a request by 1995 champion John Daly to use a golf cart at the championship in Royal Portrush this month. Daly had applied to use a cart because of his arthritic right knee. The R&A says it was declining the request because “walking the course is an integral part of the championship and is central to the tradition of links golf.”

Carrasco treated for leukemia CLEVELAND — Indians pitcher Carlos Carrasco is being treated for leukemia, and he says it’s going to make him stronger. Carrasco hasn’t played since May 30. The 32-year-old right-hander says he got a blood test after a spring training physical prompted some concern, and he was diagnosed with leukemia in May. “I never thought that I would have something like this, because I play baseball, I’m like super healthy or something like that,” Carrasco says in a video posted on the Indians’ Twitter account. “But you never know what’s going on inside your body.” Leukemia is a type of cancer that affects the blood and bone marrow.

Former tailback Dye drowns CLEMSON, S.C. — Former Clemson and East Carolina running back Tyshon Dye drowned Friday after swimming in a lake during a family outing. Dye was 25 years old. Elbert County Corner Chuck Almond told several media outlets Dye was at Richard B. Russell State Park in Georgia when he tired in the water and could not make it to shore. The coroner’s office ruled Dye’s death accidental. Dye was a reserve on the Tigers’ 2016 national championship team, then transferred to East Carolina for his final college season. Clemson coach Dabo Swinney called Dye one of the “sweetest souls” he’d ever known.

BLAINE, Minn. — Matthew Wolff and Collin Morikawa grew up about 30 minutes apart in California and golfed against each other in high school. That was only a few years ago. Sunday’s competition could result in a much bigger reward. The first-month professionals are in prime positions for one to get his first career win at a first-time event.

Wolff shot a 9-under 62 Saturday to share the lead with Morikawa and Bryson DeChambeau at 15 under after three rounds of the inaugural 3M Open. Morikawa shot a 7-under 64 at the TPC Twin Cities; DeChambeau a 1-under 70. Seeking his first tour win in 31 tour starts, Wyndham Clark shot a 64 and was tied with Adam Hadwin (69) one shot back. Wolff, 20, who won the NCAA individual title on Memorial Day, is playing in his third event since turning professional, Morikawa, 22, his fourth. They’re the final pairing today. “It’s on a lot bigger stage, but our games played very well throughout the spring,” said Morikawa, named the Pac-12 Men’s Golfer of the Year in May. “We’re going to have to control our nerves, remember who we are, what brought us out here.” “These guys are really good, and I know I’m really good, so it’s going to be fun,” Wolff said. A bomber off the tee, Wolff is averaging 306.5 yards through three rounds with his herky-jerky swing. A change in philosophy is allowing that length to be more of an asset. “The last couple weeks I think I’ve been a little too strategic. I got together this week with my team and I said, ‘You know what, I’m just going to rip driver and just send it.’ That’s kind of what I’ve been doing, and it’s been working out,” he said. Wolff, who made his professional debut two weeks ago by finishing 80th at the Travelers Championship and missed the cut at last week’s Rocket Mortgage Classic, added stellar approach shots to help him record six straight birdies on Nos. 5-10. None of the putts were longer than 8 feet. Birdies at No. 13 and 15 made a round of 59 seem possible. However, Wolff missed a 4-foot birdie putt on No. 16 and a tee shot into a bunker led to bogey on the par-3 17th. He scrambled for birdie on No. 18 after an errant tee shot. “When I birdied 10 to get to 7-under, I was kind of thinking 59, but I kind of knew I had to stay in the moment,” Wolff said. “And my caddie, Steve Lohmeyer, he’s been really good about that. We talk about, you know, free agency and pretty much anything in between shots to kind of take my mind off of it, which really helped.” Calling his round “pretty much stress-free,” Morikawa birdied five of his first seven holes, but only three the rest of the way. “Just hit my lines, hit a lot of good shots and played to my strengths. Ball-striking has been my strength ever since I’ve been a little kid,” he said. Playing in ideal weather conditions — temperatures in the low-80s, increasing clouds and no wind — 65 of the 85 players shot under par on the par-71 layout. DeChambeau barely did. After his sixth career win and first since the Shriners Hospitals for Children Open in November, he opened the day with a twoshot lead but birdied only the first and last holes to go with one bogey and 15 pars.

Rain postpones Daytona Cup race to today By Jenna Fryer AP Auto Racing Writer

DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. — Rain spoiled one of NASCAR’s last great traditions when Saturday night’s race at Daytona International Speedway was postponed because of persistent poor weather. The race will be held at noon today, which helps NBC avoid a head-to-head conflict with the final of the Women’s World Cup. NASCAR has run at Daytona on the July Fourth weekend since 1959 but is abandoning that tradition in a scheduling shakeup next season. Daytona will instead host the regular-season finale in August, while the holiday date will move to Indianapolis. Weather in part made Daytona amenable to surrendering the holiday weekend — every day since the track opened Thursday has been disrupted by lightning or rain. Cup qualifying was canceled because lightning in the area prevented NASCAR access to inspect the cars.

The field was set by points, with Joey Logano scheduled to start first alongside Kyle Busch. Rain also delayed Friday night’s Xfinity Series race, won by Ross Chastain, for 2 hours, 35 minutes. Thick, dark clouds dumped heavy rain over Daytona most of Saturday afternoon, spoiling the pomp and circumstances surrounding the proud NASCAR event. From 1959 through 1987, the race ran on July 4 before being moved to the Saturday of the closest weekend. From 1959 through 1997, the race started no later than 10 a.m. Central. The event was moved to prime time in 1998 and heavily promoted as the first under the lights at Daytona. But wildfires across Florida forced that event to be postponed to October. That race aside, no driver remembers anything but racing in Daytona over the long Indepen-

Williamson done for summer with bruise

By Tim Reynolds AP Basketball Writer

LAS VEGAS — Zion Williamson’s summer league is over. The New Orleans Pelicans announced Saturday that the No. 1 pick in this year’s NBA draft will not play any more at the Summer League in Las Vegas because of a bruised left knee. The team stressed the move is precautionary.

Pro basketball NBA Summer League

“Zion will move forward from this incident without issue,” Pelicans Executive Vice President of Basketball Operations David Griffin said. “However, in an abundance of caution, we have made the determination that he will not appear in game action for the remainder of the NBA Summer League.” Williamson’s presence helped the Summer League sell out its opening day Friday and reach another sellout Saturday — when he was scheduled to play in his second game of the summer against Washington. Instead, he was watching from the bench area in a polo shirt and not a jersey. That’ll be his game-time role until the preseason starts in October. Every seat in the lower bowl of the Thomas & Mack Center was taken Friday night for Williamson’s debut. That wasn’t the case Saturday, when a generous estimate might have been that two-thirds of the seats were taken even though all were sold. When the Pelicans announced that Williamson’s summer was over, it had a quick impact on the resale markets: Tickets that were going for more than $300 apiece Friday for the session that included the Pelicans’ game against No. 3 pick RJ Barrett and the New York Knicks were available for under $100 on Saturday. Williamson scored 11 points in nine minutes of his debut game against New York. But he took a knee-to-knee hit in the first half and was ruled out at halftime of a game that was eventually shortened after the tremors of an earthquake were felt in Las Vegas. Williamson, who starred at Duke in his lone college season, is expected to remain with the team in Las Vegas for the duration of the tournament. “He will continue to take part in training and conditioning with our performance team,” Griffin said. Saturday was also Williamson’s 19th birthday. After the earthquake struck Southern California, engineers checked to see if the integrity of the Thomas & Mack Center was compromised in any way. The primary issue was the overhead scoreboard, which is suspended from the roof by cables and swayed noticeably when the quake hit.

in an intense 400-mile race. But Daytona next year will be the final event for a driver to snag a slot in the playoff field, which means the stakes will be higher and, at nearly six weeks later, perhaps protected from unpredictable Florida weather. “I think traditions are important and as a sport we stay true to a lot of traditions, but I also think if you don’t change tradition, you’ll always be where you’re at,” Logano said. “When I think about where this race is going to be placed next year, the final race before the playoffs — here we go. There’s a good chance the fastest car and the best teams usually win, but there’s also a good chance that they all crash and someone that doesn’t typically win wins this race. “I think that piece of it, even though it’s not on the Fourth of July and we’re all so used to it being on this weekend, this race being here, but I think where it’s going to be placed is just going to add drama and I don’t see where that’s a bad thing in sports at all.”

Football ranked third among area receivers, and Engel emerged as an explosive weapon for the Falcons. Engel snared 11 touchdowns during his junior campaign, earning first-team honors in District 7-5A and on the Denton Record-Chronicle All-Area Football Team. He will return for his senior season and no doubt be the focal point of a high-flying Lake Dallas offense that averaged 387.8 yards a year ago.

Seth Meador, senior, Guyer

2018 stats: 834 yards, nine touchdowns, 56 catches, 14.9 yards per catch The Air Force commit was the only Guyer receiver to have more than 15 catches and 150 yards, finishing with 834 yards on 56 catches. Meador’s quickness and crisp routes gave defenses fits, as he racked up nine touchdowns and 14.9 yards per catch. His efforts landed him on the District 5-6A first team as well as the DRC first team. With

quarterback Eli Stowers and running back Kaedric Cobbs both back, Meador should be in line for an even bigger season this fall.

Alex Gonzales, senior, Argyle

2018 stats: 772 yards, 6 touchdowns, 52 catches, 14.8 yards per catch With opposing secondaries glued to Argyle’s Dillon Carter, Gonzales stepped up when his number was called. The Baylor baseball commit made 52 catches for 772 yards and six touchdowns while averaging 14.8 yards per catch. He was named to the District 7-4A (Division I) first team, as well as the DRC All-Area second team. Gonzales should assume the role of Argyle’s No. 1 receiver come August.

Billy Bowman Jr., junior, Ryan

2018 stats: 553 yards, eight touchdowns, 53 catches, 10.4 yards per catch Perhaps the most versatile player in the area, Bowman was the motor behind the Ryan Raiders in 2018. Equally im-

pressive offensively as he was defensively, Bowman racked up 553 yards and eight touchdowns on 53 catches. His speed and ability to get separation helped him average 10.4 yards per catch while earning coMVP honors in District 4-5A (Division I). He’ll be back for his junior season as the Raiders look to capture a state championship.

Marcellus Lockley, senior, Denton

2018 stats: 456 yards, four touchdowns, 28 catches, 16.3 yards per catch A District 4-5A (Division I) first-team selection, Lockley led the Broncos with 456 yards and four touchdowns on 28 receptions. His 16.3 yards per catch ranked in the top 10 among area receivers with at least 400 yards. Entering his final season, Lockley will play a pivotal role on a Denton team looking to bounce back after going 2-8. REECE WADDELL can be reached at 940-566-6869 and via Twitter at @ReeceWaddell15.

NBA needed changes for 2019-20 By Tim Reynolds AP Basketball Writer

LAS VEGAS — There is no favorite. This is what the NBA wanted. And needed. The biggest piece of valid criticism about the league in recent years has been it’s predictable. Golden State got to the last five NBA Finals. LeBron James had made it there eight years in a row, four with Miami and then four more with Cleveland. Brooklyn used to be the ‘other’ team in New York, and the Clippers used to be the ‘other’ team in Los Angeles. No more. Welcome to a new NBA. If you think the Clippers can win it all next season, or the Lakers, or Utah, or Philadelphia, or Milwaukee, or Houston, or Denver, or even Golden State and maybe a few others, you’re right. Technically, there is a favorite: The sports books in Las

Pro basketball NBA COMMENTARY

Vegas, after hearing the news that Kawhi Leonard and Paul George are heading to the Clippers, listed them as the best bet Saturday to win the 2020 NBA championship. Yes, the Clippers. A team that has won exactly four playoff series since moving to Los Angeles in 1984. A team that had 12 consecutive losing seasons a generation ago. There wasn’t much NBA intrigue at this time last year. The Warriors were adding DeMarcus Cousins to a team that won the last two championships and were seemingly locks to win a third consecutive title. Everyone knows it didn’t work out that way. Toronto took care of that. It was just more proof that what seems obvious at this time of year doesn’t always come to fruition.

This year, though, the newfound balance of power — dare we say “parity” — seems like a done deal. The East still has a 60-win team in Milwaukee returning the reigning MVP in Giannis Antetokounmpo and shooting guard Khris Middleton, so the Bucks may be the favorite right now on that side of the league. Philadelphia lost JJ Redick and Jimmy Butler, adding Josh Richardson and Al Horford to a team that looks to be dominant defensively. No one will count out Boston, because of Brad Stevens and now Kemba Walker. Miami got better even after losing Dwyane Wade with the addition of Butler — and the Heat might throw their hat in the ring if Russell Westbrook is indeed available following the George trade to the Clippers. Dallas figures to be better if Kristaps Porzingis is healthy to run alongside Luka Doncic.

LAS VEGAS — Toronto said farewell to Kawhi Leonard. Miami said hello to Jimmy Butler. Free agency finally became real Saturday. The four-team trade that sent Butler to the Heat — with a new $142 million, four-year contract — was one of the first big moves to get done once the league’s offseason moratorium ended. But many of the other massive moves, such as Leonard’s signing with the Los Angeles Clippers and the trade to have Paul George join him, remained in the paperwork stage. There was no real worry about the pending transactions: Some deals, including a few that got agreed upon very quickly when the negotiating window opened June 30, simply needed to be slotted in a certain order to make the NBA’s money rules work. Others could get done as soon as the NBA said at 11:01 a.m. Saturday that the new league year was officially underway. “I think it’s going to be a really exciting season,” said Portland’s Damian Lillard, who wasn’t a free agent and won’t be for a long time after signing a $196 million, four-year extension that could keep him with the Trail Blazers until 2025. “Obviously, it’s exciting to see players change teams. You know people love that.” Not all people. Not always, anyway. Toronto awoke to the news Saturday that two starters from this past season’s NBA champion Raptors — Leonard and Danny Green — were moving on. Leonard picked the Clippers and will sign a $142 million, four-year deal and George will be joining him in a massive trade that will send Danilo Gallinari, Shai Gilgeous-Alexander and five draft picks to Oklahoma City in a blockbuster deal that shook up both conferences. Green is joining the Lakers on a two-year deal. “Teams are making moves to win now and that’s obvious,” said Heat forward Meyers Leonard, who left Portland and is part of the four-team Butler deal. “The Clippers, for example, they’re in ‘win-now’ mode. They played well last year in the playoffs. They go and get Kawhi and PG and all these other players. OKC has to be thinking, ‘OK, we just got a ton of draft picks.’ So people are positioning themselves in different ways.” The Clippers and Thunder couldn’t talk about their deal until it was finalized. The Raptors didn’t have to adhere to such rules. “On behalf of the Raptors, I say a very heartfelt thank you to Kawhi and to Danny, and we send them and their families nothing but good wishes,” Raptors President Masai Ujiri said. “As an organization, the Raptors will focus on the future and

Pro basketball NBA

continue our pursuit of a second championship.” The Lakers’ trade for Anthony Davis was also still pending early Saturday evening, as were other deals like the signand-trade that will have Kevin Durant leaving Golden State for Brooklyn as well as Kyrie Irving’s signing with the Nets. Golden State’s deal to keep Klay Thompson around at nearly $190 million for five years also wasn’t announced by Saturday evening, though there would seem to be little rush there. Boston completed a signand-trade with Charlotte, a deal to send All-Star Kemba Walker (4 years, $141 million) to the Celtics and Terry Rozier (3 years, $58 million) to the Hornets. “Kemba has excelled in this league for many years while consistently playing at a level among the NBA’s elite,” Celtics President Danny Ainge said. Davis was back for the second straight night at NBA Summer League in Las Vegas, alongside James and Lakers guard Kyle Kuzma. James chatted for a couple minutes with Clippers consultant and NBA legend Jerry West — before the Lakers and Clippers met in a summer matchup. Also at summer league were a trio of young Atlanta stars — Kevin Huerter, John Collins and Trae Young. “I’m super excited,” Young said when asked about the moves across the league. “Some of the trades and where people are landing at is just kind of different. It’s kind of a surprise a little bit, but it’s good cause now the league is even more wide open.” Butler left Philadelphia via sign-and-trade for Miami, with Josh Richardson leaving the Heat for Philadelphia. Hassan Whiteside left the Heat for Portland as part of that deal, while Moe Harkless left the Blazers for the Clippers in another part of the same massive trade. “Jimmy’s leadership, tenacity, professionalism, defensive disposition and his ability to create his own shot will improve our roster immediately,” Heat President Pat Riley said. “Any time you can add a four-time All-Star to your roster, you make that move.” Among the deals that did get done: ■ The Lakers added DeMarcus Cousins and Quinn Cook, plus kept Rajon Rondo, Kentavious Caldwell-Pope and JaVale McGee. ■ Orlando completed the signings of its top two free agents, Nikola Vucevic and Terrence Ross. ■ Indiana’s sign-and-trade acquisition of Malcolm Brogdon from Milwaukee was completed. “We value the leadership he’ll bring to our team,” Pacers President Kevin Pritchard said.

Serena picks up wins in singles, mixed doubles By Howard Fendrich

Pro tennis

AP Tennis Writer

WIMBLEDON, England — Serena Williams walked into her news conference at Wimbledon holding her phone, a cold bottle of water and a statistics sheet that reinforced what was clear from watching her thirdround singles victory Saturday: She is as close to being back to her best as she’s been in a while. Williams, hampered for much of this season by injuries or illness, took a step forward against 18th-seeded Julia Goerges, a powerful hitter in her own right who lost to the American in last year’s semifinals at the All England Club. Sure enough, Williams hit serves at up to 120 mph, put in a tournament-best 71% of her first serves, never faced so much as one break point and won 6-3, 6-4. “It’s been an arduous year for me,” said Williams, who had competed only 12 times in 2019 until this week, mostly because of a bothersome left knee that finally is pain-free. “So every match, I’m hoping to improve tons.” Maybe it was a good thing she played twice Saturday, then. About 4 1/2 hours after getting past Goerges at No. 1 Court, Williams headed out to Centre Court for her much-ballyhooed debut as Andy Murray’s teammate in mixed doubles. Other than one slip near the net when she lost her footing in the first set — she was fine and laughed it off — Williams looked good during the 6-4, 6-1 win against

Wimbledon

Andreas Mies and Alexa Guarachi, including smacking one serve at 122 mph, equaling the fastest hit in singles by any woman (her, naturally) during the tournament. “Andy and I both love the competition. I know we both want to do well,” Williams said. “We’re not here just for show.” She rarely is. But if Williams is going to win an eighth singles championship at Wimbledon, and a record-tying 24th Grand Slam singles title overall, she will want more performances like the one she gave against Goerges. Forceful, yes, but nothing was forced. “I play pretty good when I’m calm, but also super-intense, just finding the balance in between there,” the 37-year-old Williams said. “So it’s a hard balance to find, because sometimes when I’m too calm, I don’t have enough energy. Still trying to find that balance.” Two more key stats on the paper she brought to her media session: She produced more winners than unforced errors, 19-15, while Goerges finished with 32 forced errors, a reflection of just how difficult Williams can make it for opponents to handle shots she sends their way. Goerges credited Williams with causing havoc with her returns, as well. After averaging 10 aces in the first two rounds, Goerges was

Fabio Fognini reaches in vain to play a return against the United States’ Tennys Sandgren at Wimbledon on Saturday in London. Sandgren won 6-3, 7-6 (12), 6-3 over Fognini, who at one point unleashed a tirade in Italian and said he wanted a bomb to explode at the All England Club. limited to half that many. Of more significance, perhaps, was that Williams’ stinging replies to serves immediately put her in control of points. “It’s fair to say that she builds up enormous pressure with her returns,” Goerges said. “That means I need to go to the limit in my service games.” After the traditional middle Sunday off, action resumes Monday with all fourth-round

men’s and women’s singles matches. Williams, who is seeded 11th, will face No. 30 Carla Suarez Navarro, while the other matchups on the top half of the women’s field established Saturday are No. 1 Ash Barty, who has a 15-match winning streak, against unseeded Alison Riske of the U.S.; No. 21 Elise Mertens against Barbora Strycova; and two-time champion Petra

Kvitova against No. 19 Johanna Konta of Britain. On the bottom half, it will be the 15-year-old American sensation Coco Gauff vs. No. 7 Simona Halep; No. 3 Karolina Pliskova vs. Karolina Muchova; No. 8 Elina Svitolina vs. No. 24 Petra Martic; and Dayana Yastremska vs. Shuai Zhang. In the men’s draw, eight-time champion Roger Federer and two-time winner Rafael Nad-

al both won in straight sets to move closer to a semifinal showdown. Federer’s record 17th visit to the fourth round at Wimbledon will come against No. 17 Matteo Berrettini, an Italian never before this far at the grasscourt tournament. “I’m very happy [with] how it’s going so far,” said Federer, a 7-5, 6-2, 7-6 (4) winner over No. 27 Lucas Pouille. “I hope it’s going to take a special performance from somebody to stop me, not just a mediocre performance.” Nadal, who defeated Jo-Wilfried Tsonga 6-2, 6-3, 6-2, meets unseeded Joao Sousa next. No. 8 Kei Nishikori meets Mikhail Kukushkin, and Sam Querrey plays Tennys Sandgren in the first Week 2 matchup at Wimbledon between two American men since Pete Sampras beat Jan-Michael Gambill in the 2000 quarterfinals. Sandgren beat No. 12 Fabio Fognini 6-3, 7-6 (12), 6-3 at tiny Court 14, with its 318 seating capacity. Fognini unleashed a tirade in Italian at one moment, saying he wanted a bomb to explode at the All England Club. He later said his comments came in the heat of the moment because he was upset about not playing well and the condition of the court’s grass. “If I offended anyone, I apologize,” said the volatile Fognini, who was fined $27,500 at Wimbledon in 2014 for unsportsmanlike conduct and is in a Grand Slam probationary period after getting kicked out of the 2017 U.S. Open. “That definitely wasn’t my intention.”

Rangers “When you fall behind in games, it does take you out of your game plan a little bit,” Texas manager Chris Woodward said. “I know we’re inching closer to the break. I’m not going to obviously use it as an excuse, but our guys have been grinding pretty hard, physically, mentally. So hopefully we can come out tomorrow, finish on a really solid note to end the first half.” Chavez was making his seventh start of the season and the third straight in a traditional starting role. He had been used as an opener four times before being taking on full starts. He had allowed three earned runs in 19 innings as a starter for a 1.42 ERA coming into the game.

Roster moves

Texas selected the contract of righthander Pedro Payano before the game and Payano made his major league debut with a scoreless inning of work. Locke St. John was optioned to Triple-A Nashville and infielder Patrick Wisdom was designated for assignment to make room on the 40-man roster.

Tour But Thomas escaped unscathed. The former track specialist was riding at the front of the race when the spill occurred and he bumped into barriers. “I’m fine. It was pretty slow by the time I hit them,” he said. “I gave myself enough space and avoided the actual crash but with the barriers there was nowhere to go. The main thing is that it didn’t do any damage. This first week is all about just getting through.” Thomas’s teammate Egan Bernal, another top contender, did not fall but was also held up by the crash. The pair did not lose time as per race regulations because the accident occurred within the final three kilometers. Jakob Fuglsang, another favorite, also hit the tarmac about 12 miles from the finish in a separate crash. The Astana team leader remounted his bike with blood on his face and right knee, and tears on his jersey. He needed stitches for a cut above his right eye. “I think he’ll be OK,” said Astana team director Alexandre Vinokourov. “First week in the Tour de France is al-

World Cup the biggest game of your career and this one of the biggest ones I hopefully am going to play,” Martens said.

ways the most dangerous for the guys.” Teunissen, the first Dutch rider to wear the yellow jersey since Erik Breukink 30 years ago, showed solid nerves after the second spill took out of contention his Jumbo-Visma teammate Dylan Groenewegen, the team’s best sprinter. Teunissen was initially set to be part of Groenewegen’s leadout train but quickly turned his focus to personal goals once his leader went down. In the slightly uphill section leading to the finish line on the leafy Avenue du Parc Royal, Teunissen perfectly timed his effort to deny Sagan a 12th stage win at the Tour. “I thought all the work we had done for quite a long time was suddenly gone,” he said. “But I felt good and thought I could maybe achieve a Top 5. I was relaxed, with nothing to lose. I opened up and I had a lot of power. It got me to second position and I saw Sagan was going slower than me. I threw myself at the line. Mission accomplished.” Teunissen did not get carried away with his win, though, and promised to keep working for Groenewegen if he recovers well. “It’s only unfortunate for Dylan, hopefully he is OK and can sprint

the Swedes. “It is amazing to be able to play the final. I am so proud. It is amazing to be playing in a team that gives you self-confidence. We give that to each other,” Groenen said. “We never knew this would be possible. It is one more match and we could be world champions. It will be difficult but it will be incredible to win.” The top-ranked Americans pose a considerable challenge for the eighth-ranked Dutch.

again in a few days,” he said. “Still, we have the yellow jersey in our room, it’s really strange but also very nice.” The 120.8-mile stage had started in a joyful mood in the heart of Brussels, with Merckx greeted by Belgian fans filling the streets as he stood alongside race director Christian Prudhomme in a red open-top car riding in front of the peloton. Leaving Brussels, the 176 Tour competitors started their loop south of the city at a fast tempo as a group of four riders led by Greg Van Avermaet, a one-day classics specialist from Belgium, immediately formed at the front. The quartet reached the first difficulty of the day — the Muur van Geraardsbergen, a 1.2-kilometer cobbled climb — with a 3-minute lead. Van Avermaet made a point of honor to be first at the top to the delight of home fans cheering him along on the side of the road. Belgian rider Xandro Meurisse, a member of the initial breakaway, was first at the Bosberg, another climb featuring at the Ronde van Vlaanderen classic race. Guaranteed the first best climber’s polka dot jersey, Van Avermaet stopped his effort soon after and was reined in by the peloton as the lead group was reduced to three men:

The United States had a particularly challenging run to its third straight World Cup final, with a quarterfinal meeting against No. 4 France before the semi against No. 3 England. The Americans won both games 2-1. They’d been strong from the start, announcing their arrival in France with a 13-0 trouncing of Thailand in the opener. Along the way the Americans also vanquished nemesis Sweden, the team that knocked them out of

But the Frenchman’s efforts on open stretches of road exposed to wind were left unrewarded and he was ultimately swallowed up as the final sprint took shape.

Minor to sit out today

The Rangers’ Mike Minor will skip his final start Sunday against Minnesota ahead of the All-Star break. Minor, a first-time All-Star, already had been replaced on the American League roster by Cleveland’s Shane Bieber because Minor was slated to start today. Minor will attend the game but not pitch, and the team wanted to give the left-hander more rest before the second half. Minor (8-4) is second in the AL with a 2.54 ERA and owns a league-leading two complete games. His 117 innings pitched are tied for third in the AL heading into Saturday’s games.

Up next

Rangers: With Minor being skipped, Texas plans to recall LHP Joe Palumbo from Nashville. Palumbo has started two games for the Rangers this season with a 16.50 ERA. The team announced that reliever Jose Leclerc, who threw 30 pitches in Saturday’s game, would start and Palumbo will likely pitch. Twins: Minnesota is also skipping an All-Star pitcher. Jake Odorizzi was placed on the injured list earlier in the week with a blister issue. Due to the long break, Baldelli said Kyle Gibson (8-4, 4.13 ERA) would start but wouldn’t say how many innings the right-hander would pitch. Smeltzer likely will follow at some point.

against England because of a minor hamstring issue. She said she expects to be ready for Sunday’s match. Ellis said no one has been ruled out. “I feel so good about this group,” Ellis said. “They have a closeness that you’re optimistic to have as a coach but it doesn’t always come to fruition. This is a very, very close group, and I think that’s been a big part of what’s empowered them to this point. And obviously I think we’ve got talented players as

well, you can’t do without that.” The teams share a commonality in that both have female coaches, with Ellis guiding the United States and Sarina Wiegman in charge of the Netherlands. It’s the first time since 2003 that two women have matched wits as coaches in the World Cup final. The most recent meeting between the two teams was in September 2016. The United States won 3-1 in Atlanta.

North Denton home loaded with charm By Kaycee Key Real Estate Editor

GREATER DENTON/WISE COUNTY ASSOCIATION OF REALTORS What could be better than receiving an offer to buy your property? Getting more than one offer to buy your property! But before you jump at the one with the highest dollar amount, consider other factors that will determine which offer is right for you.

Where’s this money coming from?

Without cash or a letter from a lender that is providing a mortgage loan, buyers may not be able to afford the price they’re proposing. Ask your Texas Realtor to find out if potential buyers are prequalified or preapproved.

How serious are the offers?

Potential buyers will put a certain amount of earnest money toward the sale in advance of the closing to show they’re entering into this transaction in good faith. Your Texas Realtor can help you verify if the amount of earnest money is a strong offer, which is a sign of serious buyers. If the transaction closes, the money counts toward the downpayment; if it doesn’t close, you may get to keep the earnest money.

firepit area. A recently-purchased storage shed could easily serve as a home office, but its versatility provides the new owners with a myriad of possibilities.

Younger children who live in this home may attend Wilson Elementary School, while older kids can attend Strickland Middle School and Ryan High School.

When’s moving day?

Determine if the proposed timeline for the transaction matches your schedule. If the buyers want a closing date that’s too soon for you, temporary-housing costs could eat into that higher offer. Of course, if the buyers don’t want the transaction to close for a few months, you could end up paying two mortgages for a while.

They want the TV and the dining room set?

Buyers can put all kinds of things in an offer. They can request an option to terminate, ask for repairs, see if you’ll leave appliances or furniture, and make the offer contingent upon the sale of their current home. Your Texas Realtor can help you decide what is reasonable. It’s exciting to get an offer from buyers for your home, but make sure you look past the dollar signs and weigh all parts of their proposal.

Dear Abby | By Jeanne Phillips

Oldest sister dominates the entire conversation Dear Abby: My sister is driving me and our other sister nuts. There are five years between the three of us. We are all seniors who live in the same city and have always been close. Abby, the oldest talks nonstop. It was always a family joke, but it’s gotten worse. Now she interrupts people to tell her story (after all, everything is all about her). A cousin we hadn’t seen in several years came to town, and we all had dinner. Not once did my sister ask, “Why are you in town, how are you doing, your family, etc.?” She just talked and talked about herself and her family. It’s no longer a joke; she is just plain rude. It’s getting difficult to be around her. How do we stop her outlandish behavior without hurting her feelings? — All Listened out in Iowa Dear All Listened Out: Stopping her outlandish behavior may take some risk, but it’s worth it. Point out to her — as kindly as possible — what she has been doing and how it affects people, and tell her it has to stop before people start avoiding or excluding her. The truth may be unpleasant, but she needs to know. Dear Abby: I have a childhood friend who is seriously depressed. She sees a medical professional once a month for drugs, but doesn’t get counseling. She lives alone and is going through a contentious divorce. She has pretty much alienated her friends and family because she can’t converse without crying and blaming everyone else for her problems. Do you have any advice on how I might help someone who doesn’t seem able to help herself? I’m at a loss and feel so sad for her. — Sympathetic in South Carolina Dear Sympathetic: This woman

is fortunate to have such a caring friend as you. Suggest to her that she inform the doctor who is prescribing her medication that she needs more help than she is currently receiving. And if she isn’t already aware of it, point out to her that she should go online and explore support programs or groups for divorced people. Dear Abby: I’m in my second trimester and grateful to have wonderful family and friends who are giving us their old baby clothes and toys. One of my friends, “Jenna,” is also pregnant. She’s still in her first trimester and hasn’t told anyone yet. Our mutual friend “Tisa” just had a baby and is giving me all her baby stuff because she doesn’t know Jenna is pregnant. I would like her to share the items with Jenna, but don’t know if I should share her secret. Also, because she’s in the beginning stages of pregnancy, I’m not sure if Jenna is even planning for the baby’s arrival just yet. Should I keep the items and let her know I’ll put some aside for her as the months pass? — Thinking Ahead Dear Thinking Ahead: Do not betray Jenna’s confidence. The announcement of her pregnancy should come from her. However, DO tell her you will be receiving a lot of baby clothes from Tisa and offer to share them with her as needed if she wishes. For everything you need to know about wedding planning, order “How to Have a Lovely Wedding.” Send your name and mailing address, plus check or money order for $8 (U.S. funds) to: Dear Abby, Wedding Booklet, P.O. Box 447, Mount Morris, IL 61054-0447. (Shipping and handling are included in the price.) — Andrews McMeel Syndication

Texas inmates getting 3D-printed teeth State prisons start cutting-edge denture program By Keri Blakinger Houston Chronicle

HUNTSVILLE (AP) — The first thing you notice about Richard Buehning is his salt-and-pepper beard. Shaggy and thick, it covers his mouth — and his lack of teeth. For the better part of two decades, that toothless grin has been a source of shame for the Texas

prisoner. It made eating hard, and smiling awkward, until he grew a bush of hair to cover it up. Now, he can finally shave it all off. Last month, the 63-year-old became one of the first prisoners to get 3D-printed teeth. Seven months after the Texas Department of Criminal Justice announced plans to launch a startof-the-art denture clinic in response to a Houston Chronicle investigation, inmates from across the system are starting to get some of the first sets of 3D-printed teeth ever made inside a U.S. prison. “With dentures there is esteem, and

the mission of TDCJ is to rehabilitate the overall person,” prison dentist Dr. Chad Taylor told the newspaper. “It’s tough to go around without teeth.” So far, the new machines installed at the Goree Unit in Huntsville have printed just under a dozen dentures with plans to make a few hundred more in the coming months. “The vast majority of folks who have been seen by this clinic so far have been without teeth for over a decade,” said prison spokesman Jeremy Desel. “It’s one of those things that people who have teeth I don’t think can truly grasp the impact that it has.”

From conception to execution, the Goree denture clinic came together with remarkable rapidity in a system not usually known for quick change. But the problem it addressed was more than a decade in the making. Up until 2003, the Texas prison system routinely provided dentures for toothless inmates, through an in-house vocational program that made them on site. But, around the time the state’s prisons came out from under federal oversight, that program ended for now-unclear reasons. The following year the two prison medical providers — the University of

Texas Medical Branch and Texas Tech University Health Sciences Center — ordered a total of 1,295 dentures. After that, the numbers fell sharply, to 518 in 2005 and 258 the next year. By 2016, prison medical providers doled out only 71 dentures to a population of more than 149,000, including thousands of elderly and ailing inmates. By contrast, California — the next-largest prison system — gave 4,818 complete and partial dentures in 2016 to a population of just under 130,000 inmates, according to state data there.

Minifigs, Bricks and More co-owner Anthony Bearden stands with La Di Da co-owners Brittany Foster, center, and Sharon Ballard near their storefronts. The two stores are now open on the Locust Street side of the Square after a 2017 fire left neighboring buildings vacant for more than a year.

Back in business

Locust shops up and running after 2017 downtown Denton fire By Jenna Duncan Staff Writer jduncan@dentonrc.com

Downtown Denton’s businesses are back and rebounding after a fire in December 2017 forced three shops to close. Now Minifigs, Bricks and More and La Di Da are up and running on Locust Street, filling out the east side of the Square surrounding the still-vacant lot where the Downtown Mini Mall burned down. Minifigs opened last month in the space once occupied by Shop the Barn, having taken over the lease after the fire. Previously located inside of Golden Triangle Mall, Minifigs, Bricks and More is a Lego resale shop owned by Melodie and Anthony Bearden. While work on the birthday party room is still underway, the retail store is up and running. With a more prominent location with foot traffic, Anthony Bearden said they’ve already seen a new

and more diverse clientele. “It’s going great and we love it,” he said. “There’s definitely people who have never heard of us before coming in now, so it’s good.” La Di Da quietly opened at the end of June, just leaving the doors open to see who would come by. Soon, they were flooded with customers excited for the boutique’s return, said Brittany Foster, La Di Da co-owner. “We planned to just be up there and putting inventory out while we had the door open, but with the amount of people coming in and seeing we were open, it turned out bigger and really awesome,” she said. “We didn’t expect to be as busy as we were.” The new La Di Da features some old customer favorites, and is still honoring gift cards and store credit from before the fire until Monday, July 15. There’s a new focus on heavily featuring women-owned and women-run businesses, especially ones that are harder to find. New lines

he most important thing you can say to a new hire may well be: “Have you signed up for the 401(k) yet?” An astounding 3 out of 10 workers don’t know whether their employers offer retirement plans, according to a survey by research firm Morning Consult for the Certified Financial Planner Board of Standards. “That was, quite frankly, shocking,” says Kevin Keller, the board’s CEO. “But it clearly shows that people just don’t know what their options are.” You might think people don’t know because their employers don’t offer such plans. After all, companies that lack retirement benefits typically don’t point it out. And the 3-in-10 figure appears to line up nicely with the Bureau of Labor Statistics’ figures showing that 30% of workers don’t have access to 401(k)s , 403(b)s, pensions or other retirement plans at work. But when the CFP Board asked 2,200 American adults if their current employer offered a retirement savings plan for employees, 38% said yes, 32% said no and 30% didn’t know. So, with the definite “No” answer accounted for, that leaves many, if not most, of that last uncertain group who may actually have access to a plan.

Why you should care

A closer look at some items sold at Minifigs, Bricks and More. include a T-shirt company called Ruby’s Rubbish from Aubrey and a handmade jewelry line, Julio Designs, from Frisco. “With the social climate right now, I just really wanted to empower women,” Foster said. “I just had a daughter in November, and I’m really excited for her to grow up in a society that values women in commerce and women in the

workplace.” La Di Da will host a grand opening Saturday, July 13, all day with cheese boards from Ten:One Artisan Cheese, wine samples and special sales in the store. JENNA DUNCAN can be reached at 940-566-6889 and via Twitter at @jennafduncan.

This survey finding should dismay employers, because retirement benefits are supposed to help attract and retain workers. If your employees don’t know about them, those benefits aren’t doing their job. Rather than assume new hires are getting the word, companies should take every opportunity to explain the value of retirement savings plans and encourage participation. Better yet, make enrollment automatic — an increasingly common and effective option to start people saving. See WESTON on 2D

Why the flight to the hospital is more costly than ever By Christopher Rowland The Washington Post

Air ambulance rates in the United States are soaring. The cost of a medical ride in a helicopter or airplane climbed about 60% from 2012 to 2016, to a median of $39,000, according to a study of federal data released Monday. The list charges rose to as much as 10 times what Medicare pays for the service, despite a surge of air ambulance carriers entering the market, the study said. Because many air ambulance companies are not part of insurance net-

works, patients often get hit with the huge bills, according to the findings by Johns Hopkins University researchers, whose study was published in the journal Health Affairs. “If you’re somebody who gets injured, and an air ambulance comes, you’re going to pay huge amounts because most likely you’re out of network and you’re going to get a bill for $30,000 or $40,000,’’ said Gerard Anderson, a professor of health policy and management at Johns Hopkins and co-author of the study. There are virtually no cost controls

in the system, Anderson added. Even though the number of air ambulance carriers is on the rise, most local markets are still limited to a single carrier without competition, he said. The Johns Hopkins researchers said the median charge per mile of a helicopter ambulance in 2016 was $238. The industry says Medicare rates are a poor benchmark for comparison. It claims Medicare air ambulance rates are 40% below cost and that air ambulance companies are forced to increase list prices as a result. “Because of the vast underpayments

by Medicare and Medicaid, and to preserve the ability of air medical services to provide access to critical levels of health care for millions of Americans, rates are raised to cover the losses incurred by providing services to Medicare, Medicaid, and uninsured patients,’’ said the industry trade group, the Association of Air Medical Services. It blamed low Medicare and Medicaid reimbursement rates for the closure of 32 air ambulance bases in 2019. The AAMS also said the Johns Hopkins study is flawed because it lumped helicopter service in with fixed-wing

aircraft, which the industry said are infrequently used in emergencies. Helicopters with advanced medical equipment airlift people from the scene of accidents, or move them from smaller hospitals to larger medical centers with more advanced surgical capabilities and burn units. The business has grown exponentially over the two decades, with private equity investment ownership of large national chains. Before 2002 most air ambulances were run by hospitals, according to a See FLIGHT on 2D

Dentures In Texas, policy only allowed for dentures in situations of “medical necessity” — and chewing didn’t count. For the edentulous, officials instead offered an unappealing alternative: a blended diet of regular cafeteria meals pureed and served. Over the course of a yearlong investigation, more than two dozen inmates wrote letters or spoke to the Chronicle to detail the problem. Some said they’d had all their teeth removed with the false promise of dentures to come. Others lost them over time, or came in with dentures that broke, only to learn that the prison system wouldn’t agree to replace them. Some filed grievances and request forms but were repeatedly denied, sometimes by staffers citing policies no longer in place, other times by dentists claiming they couldn’t get teeth unless they became underweight. Last year, both prison officials and medical staff defended the policy, and the blended meal alternative. But following the Chronicle’s coverage, prison officials promised change, vowing to update policies, hire a denture specialist, start a denture clinic and review all denture-related grievances from the past year to reevaluate any prisoners who filed complaints. Two months later, the agency officials announced plans to become the first prison system to 3D-print dentures onsite. On Buehning’s first visit, Taylor starts by taking initial molds.

In a day or two, he’ll have dentures in hand, ready for a fitting. “We’ll use a little dental pixie dust and they’ll appear,” Taylor jokes, with a genial bedside manner that seems unexpected behind the razor wire and brick walls. Using a pastel green silicone foam, the dentist takes imprints of Buehning’s mouth, a rough mold first and then a more detailed version on a second pass. The initial imprint-taking is basically the same as in old-fashioned denture-making, according to Taylor. But whereas a traditional process requires about five steps total — some of which take days or weeks of back-and-forth with labs — 3D printing condenses all that to a day or two. Buehning’s first visit will net three detailed molds: one of his upper gums, one of his lower gums and one showing how the two fit together when he bites. He sits in the chair patiently, and in less than an hour, Taylor smiles and announces, “We’re done.” The Goree Unit clinic can make four sets of teeth per day, Desel said. Toothless prisoners are shipped in from other units across the state for the procedure. After mold-taking on the first day, inmates come back for a fitting once the teeth are made, and then they return at least two more times for adjustments before they’re sent back to their regular unit. Though the first denture recipients were men, part of the reason for housing the clinic at Goree is that the unit has the capacity to house women for short periods of time.

Aside from being quicker, the 3D-printing process churns out a product that is sturdier and easier to replace if parts get lost or broken. And, it’s cutting-edge — even in the free world, Taylor said, most dentists who offer 3D dentures don’t print them on site. “There’s only four of the systems that we are using in the United States at all,” Desel said, “and three are being operated by the U.S. military and the one that’s here at the Goree Unit.” The initial equipment purchase came in at around $56,000, Desel said, but printing each set only costs around $60 to $70 each. At the low end of the pricing spectrum, traditionally made dentures cost around $1,000 for a top or bottom set, according to the Healthcare Bluebook. In a back hallway of the Goree medical building, a small machine in a plain office quietly spits out new dentures, one layer at a time. The first step, handled by dental assistant JoAnn Duke, is to put the molds in a 360-degree scanner. The scans are then shipped off to a lab, which sends back a design in 24 to 48 hours. Then, Duke uploads the file to the printer, makes a few adjustments, loads in the liquid resin and hits print. “If you’re familiar with 3D-printing of any sorts,” Taylor said, “you know it puts down a thin layer, cures it, a thin layer and keeps stacking.” The teeth and gums are made separately because the resin used to print them is different colors; white for the teeth, and pink for the gums.

Bezaley Jackson sits in the dental chair as he is fitted for new 3D-printed dentures at the Goree Unit 3D Denture Clinic on Thursday in Huntsville. Once they’re made, then comes the first fitting. Initially, officials said they planned to have the 3D printers up and running by March. But the entire process required hiring a dentures specialist, reassigning a dental assistant, selecting the equipment and training staff to use it. Officials also reevaluated grievances and other complaints filed by prisoners to figure out who might be a good candidate for dentures. That review process is still ongoing, Desel said, and after making teeth for a few hundred inmates in the first group selected for dentures, officials will reevaluate how to select candidates going forward. Currently, prison and medi-

Weston The survey should concern you as well. Taxpayers shoulder the burden when people hit their retirement years unprepared. Impoverished seniors mean more strain on public assistance, especially Medicaid, the health care system for the poor that also pays for a lot of long-term care expenses. This is where you come in. Sometimes, a one-on-one conversation can do more to persuade someone than any glossy brochure or email campaign.

Your nudge could spur action

In Josh Overmyer’s case, it was a two-on-one conversation. Overmyer took a job in a Florida county planning department after college. Two of the department’s administrative assistants, both in their mid-40s, dubbed themselves his “work moms” and took Overmyer under their collective wing. Among the many conver-

cal officials have still not updated the system’s denture policy, so teeth are still only available in situations where it’s deemed “medically necessary.” For now, though, medical staff are simply interpreting that phrase more broadly than they did before. It’s not clear when there might be a formal policy update, and Desel said officials are reviewing best practices. Desel acknowledged that there would be some kinks to work out in the coming months, including nailing down how many people get teeth and who, exactly, qualifies. Minutes after Buehning hobbles out of the dental office with his cane, Bezaley Jackson strolls in. The Trinity County man al-

ready got his impressions made — so now he’s here to try out his new smile. He looks on apprehensively as Taylor pulls out a pink set of printed gums and a few rows of freshly made teeth. For the next 45 minutes, the cheery dentist fits and refits Jackson’s new dentures, figuring out where they pinch and shaving off bits accordingly. Eventually, he glues in the teeth and uses an ultraviolet light to cure the adhesive. After a few adjustments, he slips them in Jackson’s mouth. “That’s pretty much it,” he declares, running through a few parting instructions before sending the 67-year-old on his way.

2017 report by Consumers Union, a major consumer advocacy group. Then Medicare set higher rates for reimbursement that drew in private business, fueling the boom. Market concentration is another hallmark of the explosion in use and costs. The Government Accountability Office, a federal watchdog agency, said in 2017 that just three private companies were flying 692 of the industry’s 1,045 helicopters in 2015. Demand also has grown with the closure of rural hospitals across the country, making it all the more important to move patients longer distances to hospitals in urban centers. The number of medical helicopters and fixed-wing aircraft in the skies has correspondingly exploded to the point that the market may be saturated, the Johns Hopkins study said. “The high charges, therefore, might be the result not of lack or entrants or limited supply, but of a market failure,’’ the study said. State legislators responding to consumer outrage over whopping air transport bills find themselves handcuffed. The Airline Deregulation Act of 1978 prohibits states from regulating routes or rates, the study said. The air ambulance indus-

Seeking to protect patients from surprise medical bills, a Senate bill on health costs would set the price of an ambulance trip by an out-of-network carrier at the median in-network price. “The legislation would devastate the provision of this service in the United States,’’ the Association of Air Medical Services said in a statement last month. In 2017, about two-thirds of air ambulance transports

for patients with private insurance were out-of-network, the GAO said this year. Air Methods is the largest carrier in the United States. The Johns Hopkins study said a former parent company of Air Methods air ambulance service, ranked highest with rates that were 10.4 percent above Medicare’s benchmark. The company also was the most commonly used air ambulance service among Medicare patients, accounting for 21 percent of trips in 2016, it said. Air Methods, which was purchased by private equity

They recommended he sign up for the agency’s 457 deferred compensation plan, a type of tax-advantaged retirement account. “When you’re 22, you’re not thinking about retirement,” says Overmyer, who is now 36 and works for the Florida Division of Emergency Management in Fort Myers. “You earn the money, you spend the money.” Overmyer was particularly taken with the idea that he could contribute $25 to the plan, but only $20 would disappear from his paycheck because the money was pretax. “I thought that was really cool,” Overmyer says. Jackie Beck was persuaded by the company match. Beck says she was “19 or 20” and worked in a newspaper’s classified advertising department when her supervisor encour-

firm American Securities in 2017, did not comment but referred to a statement by an industry-backed advocacy group called Save Our Air Medical Resources. “One hundred percent of emergency air medical providers, not to be confused with nonemergent, fixed wing transports, are called to respond only by EMTs or physicians who determine that the patient should be transported by air,” SOAR said. “They never self-deploy and go when called, regardless of the patient’s ability to pay.”

You don’t have to be a great saver to nudge others, by the way. If you wish you’d started saving earlier or saved more, you can share that sentiment while suggesting your co-workers not make the same mistake.

Democratic 2020 hopeful Elizabeth Warren says that if elected president she would sign executive orders aimed at addressing the wage and employment leadership gap for women of color, punishing companies and contractors with historically poor records on diversity and equality by denying them contracts with the federal government. The Massachusetts senator detailed her latest plan in a post on Medium on Friday, positioning her ideas as moral and economic imperatives. It’s the latest in a parade of proposals that have become a trademark of her 2020 Democratic presidential bid and helped boost her in the primary polls, particularly among black women. “Our economy should be working just as hard for women of color as women of color work for our economy and their families,” Warren wrote. “For decades, the government has helped perpetuate the systemic discrimination that has denied women of color equal opportunities. It’s time for the government to try to right those wrongs — and boost our economy in the process.” Warren’s plan came on the eve of her appearance at Essence Festival, an

people don’t save: An AARP survey found workers are 15 times more likely to put aside money for retirement if they can contribute through payroll deduction. That’s why 10 states — California, Connecticut, Illinois, Maryland, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Oregon, Vermont and Washington — are rolling out plans to give small-business employees access to simple retirement plans through payroll deduction. Many other states are considering similar legislation. You don’t have to wait, though. You can contribute to an IRA and encourage your co-workers to do the same.

Also expected to speak this weekend at the conference in New Orleans were 2020 contenders Kamala Harris, Cory Booker, Beto O’Rourke and Pete Buttigieg. The proposals by Warren, who also posted to the Essence website, are aimed not only at black women but also at Latina, Asian and Native American women. To address the underrepresentation of women of color in leadership in the federal workforce, Warren says she would issue an order to recruit from historically black colleges and other minority-serving institutions; establish paid fellowships for federal jobs for minority and low-income applicants, including formerly incarcerated people; and require federal agencies to incorporate diversity into their strategic plans and mentorship efforts. Another order would target companies and contractors disproportionately employing women of color. Under the proposal, Warren would ban companies seeking federal contracts from using forced arbitration and non-compete clauses, which she argues make it more difficult for employees to fight wage theft, discrimination and harassment, issues particularly affecting minority women. Contractors also would be banned from asking applicants for past salary information and criminal histories and would have to pay a $15 minimum hourly wage and offer benefits including paid family leave, fair scheduling and collective bargaining rights to all employees.

‘Pet Sematary’ remake purrs on 4K

DVD has extras containing all the kibble ’n’ bits

titled “Beyond the Fall,” that’s just over an hour long. In this feature, the cast and crew discuss reading King’s works, the changes they made (for better or worse), shooting locations, constructing specific scenes, building the character dynamics, and the perspectives and themes of death in the story. It’s quite remarkable that the movie invites audiences to learn so much about the filmmaking process. It’s documentary specials like this that make you fall more in love with the power of cinema. The cherry on top is that the release comes with a 9-minute alternate ending that’s closer to the book’s conclusion. For this version’s sake, I’m glad they shook up the finale to be something with more potential to grow.

By Preston Barta Film Critic

It’s relatively unheard of for a Blu-ray to have packed special features when it’s a studio release. Usually, it’s a handful of featurettes and interviews that are a few minutes long and feel like the filmmakers and talent have a knife sticking in their side if they say anything that could make its studio or film look bad. There’s nothing meaty about it unless you get a filmmaker’s audio commentary, and that’s if you’re lucky. This sort of annoyance is worth noting if you’re a collector who cares about how the sausage gets made. I collect, and I do care. So, I am going there.

Paramount’s 4K Ultra HD release of 2019’s Pet Sematary, the latest adaptation of Stephen King’s 1983 novel of the same name, is one of those rare releases when Blu-rays go above and beyond. You might see an advanced collector’s edition, maybe, a decade down the road with all those spiffy bonus features, but Paramount gives its movie more value than being a good movie. Before I get into those extras, let me briefly share with you why Pet Sematary is one of the best King film adaptations out there. Starring Jason Clarke and Amy Seimetz, the film got decent reviews when it was released in April. But only a select few critics appreciated how wild this new take got. As a massive fan of both the original text and 1989 movie (which also was released on 4K this year), I know where each of these interpretations (of the grieving process through a fictional story of pet and human resurrection) has gone wrong. There are pluses and minuses to each of them. I love to get inside each of the minds of the characters in King’s book, but I don’t like how King doesn’t believe in the element of surprise. I love how the 1989 movie gets into the haunting aspects of dealing with death (the ending still gets me), but I don’t like how much of the story is swiped through to be this cheesy TV movie-like experience. And in this new one, I love how it delves deep into the power of burial ground, but I don’t like how it puts the grieving process on the back burner. So, whatever experience you’re chasing, there’s a version out there for you. This Pet Sematary subverted my expectations, got a little goofy and just ran so far off path in the final minutes to create an entertaining, fun and unique interpretation. Now let’s move on to the 4K picture (2160p/Dolby Vision UHD) presenta-

tion. Overall, images appear to be more stable, and the sharp effect is dialed up a bit more, as expected. For a movie that spends so much time in the dark, it’s best to have a presentation that will allow all those finer details to come into the frame with better clarity, and they mostly do. However, the jump in quality from 4K to Blu-ray isn’t as immaculate as one could have hoped for. Some

edges are still soft in areas, and the individual set-pieces that are built on a sound stage (the burial ground, principally) look more artificial with the picture upgrade. So, it’s a meow-mixed bag of results on 4K. Extras: Pet Sematary has a few of those standard featurettes such as deleted and extended scenes, but what scatters the dirt is a four-part feature,

US seniors facing rising homelessness By Pam Rainey For the Denton Record-Chronicle

I remember when this movie came out in 2006, and it was a big deal for all my gamer friends. So, we all got together to see it — them, with their game knowledge, and me, with my horror film knowledge — and left picking it apart. To my understanding, Silent Hill is not faithful to the game whatsoever and is rather an exercise in horror aesthetics that’s about as nonsensical as running around in Grand Theft Auto with cheat codes. It was directed by French filmmaker Christophe Gans (Brotherhood of the Wolf), whom Scream Factory brings aboard to speak about the film in retrospect for the special features. His European roots make for an otherworldly experience. There’s a reason why this movie is still celebrated for its costumes and horror effects — it’s terrifying to look at and feels like hell on earth. However, Gans’ ultimate flaw as a storyteller in this film is his lack of faith in the audience’s intelligence. So much of the narrative is spoon-fed to its audience, robbing the film of having the space to haunt you. Much of the story is over-explained, and Silent Hill crosses wires to the point that you might go bald from all the head-scratching you’ll do. Subtlety could have saved this film from burning like its titular city. Extras: The two-disc collector’s edition (available for preorder through shoutfactory.com/shop) comes with a gorgeous package design, cardboard slipcover and reversible cover art. The first disc is dedicated to the film itself — which also includes an excellent new audio commentary with cinematographer Dan Laustsen and a theatrical trailer. Laustsen, who was Oscar-nominated for his camera work for The Shape of Water, details the visuals thoroughly. On the second disc, there is a slew of new and lengthy interviews with the cast and filmmakers. Most of the interview time is devoted to Gans.

SENIOR CONNECTIONS

Not long ago I enjoyed lunch with a friend near Denton’s Square. As we talked about the column I’ve written for seniors for many years, and explored ideas, she shocked me with a comment. “The next generation of homelessness I predict will be senior adults,” she said. Taken aback, I’ve pondered her words and researched the topic. I’ve found a number of articles and some research validating her prediction. In fact, senior homelessness has already arrived on the streets of America. An article (“Why America’s Elderly Are Falling Through the Cracks”) on a website dedicated to homelessness, https://invisiblepeople.tv, was an eye-opener to me. The article explains the future homelessness of seniors and the problems it will present. While many seniors today travel, enjoy hobbies, lunches, theater and movies with friends, it’s not that way for every senior. Here’s why. “In the Annual Homeless Assessment Report released by [the Department of Housing and Urban Development], the number of elderly individuals experiencing sheltered homelessness nearly doubled from 4.1 percent in 2007 to 8 percent in 2017,” the article said. “It’s not slowing down either. This population is expected to triple over the next decade.” The article identifies those who are most at risk for becoming homelessness in old age: those who spend their middle-age years in poverty, and those who are able to pay their bills with lowwage work, but who have no money left over to put in retirement savings. And while Americans are holding onto their jobs longer, some work — especially manual labor — isn’t realistic for the elderly who aren’t financially prepared to retire. Arthritis or chronic pain can sideline workers over age 50 who once earned a living with a strong back and their hands. While being unable to save for retirement — or unable to work after 65 — can put seniors at a disadvantage, it is not the only reason we might fall through the cracks and become homeless in our later years. There are complications to growing older. Some seniors live with serious health issues — beyond arthritis and chronic conditions — and some suffer from a lack of planning, and children who fail to launch. When I was a real estate agent here in Denton, my observation was families were unable to buy houses until later in life due to the rising cost of housing. Therefore, their homes might not be paid for until long after buyers reach age 65. In addition, some older people were

Attendees will get a sampling of just about every kind of poetry — readings, spoken word presentations, music and improvisation, and a pirate-poetry troupe that does everything from publishing to performance. “I’ve been to several state conferences,” said Betty Roberts, a member of the Denton assembly and a conference presenter. “I’m very proud of Denton. We draw poets from all over North Texas to the Denton Poets’ Assembly. I knew we could draw a lot of really good speakers to the conference. North Texas kind of stands out in the state. We have a lot of chapters, while other have had to close their chapters.” Roberts and Kushmaul said the conference is suitable for fledgling poets and established, published writers. The Saturday night banquet will high-

1978’s “Corvette Summer” stars Mark Hamill as a high school student and Annie Potts as a call girl in training. layers. Their level of complexity, especially in Thirst, is in abundant supply. Repacked on disc by Kino Lorber, Thirst is about a blood transfusion gone wrong, where a priest (ironically) becomes a vampire. Through this chilling erotic tale, we explore many ethical and moral questions that make for an authentic film, or as real as it can get considering we are dealing with a bloodsucking narrative. It’s uncomfortable to watch, for sure, but it also has mythology and built-in vocabulary that are fascinating to explore. The language is sharp as vampire’s teeth, too. Extras: The Kino Lorber release (available through kino lorber.com) includes a theatrical trailer and an audio commentary with journalist and author Bryan Reesman. If the film’s material interests you, you will appreciate Reesman’s analysis of the film. It’s always compelling to listen to people who have no connection with the film to discuss their interpretations and feelings.

Corvette Summer ★★★ Rated PG (though it’s more R to today’s standards with some brief nudity and naughty talk), 104 minutes.

The Warner Archive Collection reverses to 1978 for the Mark Hamill-starring adventure comedy Corvette Summer. Considering most know Hamill for his work in a galaxy far, far away, one can be suspicious that this film isn’t exactly a milestone in his career. It’s not, but it’s not roadkill either.

Corvette Summer is at its best when it’s about hot rods and hanging out, like Dazed and Confused. All its brief sequences of characters cruising down the strip while jamming tunes capture the warmest feelings of the 1970s. However, once the central plot kicks in, about Hamill’s high school student character trying to recover his auto class’ stolen Stingray, the film runs out of juice. Thankfully, there’s a subplot involving a romance between Hamill and Annie Potts (the voice of Bo Peep from Toy Story) that maintains a pulse. Even though Hamill spends most of the film covered in dirt and looking unattractive, his chemistry with Potts, who plays a prostitute-in-training, leaves tire marks. Corvette Summer is greased with cheese, but it’ll hold your attention. If the film had spent more time developing its characters before getting into the meat of the plot, I’d be holding a victory flag. But alas, it’s a silver medal at best. Also available this week on Blu-ray and DVD: Gotham: The Complete Series; The Great Northfield Minnesota Raid (1975, a Shout Select release); High Life; Hulk (2003) on 4K; Little (2019); The Professor (2019); and Waterworld (1995) on 4K.

Rainey selling their homes and taking their equity to pay off credit cards or medical bills and put away some cash. But cash only lasts so long if an emergency arises. For most people, their home is the most valuable asset they have. But home can be endangered when elderly parents dive into their children’s financial troubles. Savvy Ladies, a website that promotes financial independence for women, said parents can face a financial crisis when they want to lend financial help to their grown children. This kind of crisis can cost elderly parents their home. As we grow into the last chapters of our lives, we really do not know how long our savings must last. For those of us who have enjoyed having children, sacrificing for them didn’t hurt too much. We watched them grow and develop, and many of us have never held a grudge toward the expenses they encountered as they matured, whether the expense was an education or recovering from a financial hiccup. If parents have enabled a child’s irresponsibility, they can feel the sting when middle-aged

children turn to Mom and Dad for help. According to Wendy Dickinson, a licensed psychologist at GROW counseling in Atlanta, said elderly parents often find troubled children back at their doorstep. “When we have parents who are in a crisis because of a failure-to-launch young adult — or an adult child who is in a health crisis or perhaps an adult child is dealing with an addiction — that becomes a bottomless money pit, one of the things that we do is a thorough assessment.” Together, counselors and families discover how serious the grown child’s financial crisis is, examine the causes and then map out a plan to lead all parties back to independence. Sometimes outside counseling is necessary to help seniors communicate with adult children and help them understand they must grow up and become financially secure, Dickinson said. I’m sure more studies are forthcoming about senior adult homelessness. It is certainly a mind-boggling crisis facing us, and a wake-up call to save for

retirement. Perhaps it is a reminder to parents to have difficult conversations with adult children. Most of us just can’t be the bank for struggling family members — and most of us can’t help out indefinitely without putting our own financial health at risk. Taking care of our resources often requires the help of a financial planner who can help us guide our way through our senior years. There are many financial planners and counselors who are trained and compassionate, and they will often meet with our family members to help us deliver hard messages. And sometimes, someone outside our family is the best person to deliver news to someone who doesn’t understand our financial situation, or our need to make our money last as long as we do.
