Two UTA baseball players are hard at work this summer, living out the dream they’ve had since childhood.
Catcher Chad Comer and left-handed pitcher Mark Picca are two of the latest UTA baseball players to be drafted to two notable MLB teams. Comer, in the 29th round and as the 896 overall pick, was selected by the Atlanta Braves. The New York Mets chose Picca, the 1,242 overall pick in the 41st round.

In the meantime, both will go through training camps to be prepared for the minor leagues. Picca said he was only in talks with the Mets, but was surprised to be selected as early as he was. Whatever comes next, he said he’s ready to take it on. The future for Picca includes training for
the minor leagues and studying to complete his last semester of classes to get a degree. He said he could handle it, though. “Coming from college, I have four years of higher level baseball under my belt, and will be able to take that into DRAFT continues on page 8

With the help of the Arlington Homebuyers’ Assistance Program, the City of Arlington wants to encourage some of its “most promising” citizens to make Arlington home. The program offers a no-interest deferred loan of up to $7,500 for qualified first-time home-
buyers. The loan will be forgiven after five years if the borrower continues to reside in the home. “The city leadership has frequently, and for quite a number of years, discussed how we retain UTA graduates in our city,” said David Zappasodi, executive director of the Arlington housing authority and director of community development and planning. “They are some of our finest citizens.” LOAN continues on page 8

Roxanne Buil, Women’s and Gender Studies Program administrative assistant, will be making her cooking television debut on July 9. Buil’s Cuban cooking blog “The Yuca Diaries� was voted the most popular in an online poll in February. Because of the votes, she was asked to be featured on a segment for the Hispanic cooking show Delicioso. The show reached out to Buil the first week of June to set up a film date. Buil was especially thrilled to inform her blog followers and the people who voted for her. “I was excited and surprised that it all worked out,� she said.

NATO resumes airstrikes on Tripoli TRIPOLI, Libya — NATO resumed its airstrikes on the Libyan capital of Tripoli late Tuesday, blasting at least two targets just before midnight, after military leaders voiced concerns about sustaining the operations if the alliance mission drags on. The targets of the late night airstrikes were not immediately clear, and there was no word about casualties. East of the capital, alliance aircraft have begun dropping leaflets warning government troops to abandon their posts outside Zlitan, which lies just west of the rebel-held port city of Misrata. Rebel forces have been advancing along the Mediterranean coast toward Zlitan, but say they have been instructed by NATO to withdraw ahead of expected bombing runs to old front lines in Dafniya.

Biden ‘confident’ of more than $1T in deficit cuts WASHINGTON — Vice President Joe Biden said Tuesday he’s confident budget talks he’s leading will produce an agreement on cutting the deficit “well beyond” $1 trillion over the next decade or so. Leaving the Capitol after a 2.5-hour negotiating session, Biden told reporters he hopes the group will have a tentative agreement by Congress’ July 4th recess to leave plenty of time to draft and pass the cuts — along with must-pass legislation allowing the government to continue to borrow to finance its operations and avoid defaulting on U.S. bonds.

old Navy backs it Gets Better Project Ten percent of pride T-shirt proceeds will go toward the movement. By TIffANy TODD The Shorthorn staff
The lGBT (lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender) community has made a major breakthrough via old Navy, which recently began supplying select stores with advocacy T-shirts. The rainbow-themed shirts come in four designs sized for men, women and children. old Navy supplied 27 stores with the shirts to last until June 30 or until the shirts sold out. Ten percent of the proceeds from the limited-edition shirts, which are not available online, go to the it Gets Better Project. dan Savage, a syndicated columnist and author, and his partner,
Terry Miller, conceived the project in September 2010. it has since turned into a global movement that aims to let atrisk lGBT youth know their lives will get better. President Barack obama, pop singer lady Gaga and Fort Worth City Councilman Joel Burns are among the notable figures to have contributed to the campaign. Burns, who famously gave a speech during a city council meeting about bullying and teen suicide, visited UTA’s Gay-Straight Alliance during the spring. Alohilani Valdez, the group’s president, said having people like Burns being open about their sexual orientation shows support for others in the lGBT community. “i didn’t meet my first gay person until i was 17. He took me under his wing,” she said. “He told me it gets better.”

Polygamist leader Jeffs’ trial to begin July 25 SAN ANGELO — The oft-delayed, first criminal case against polygamist sect leader Warren Jeffs was set to begin July 25, after a Texas court on Tuesday rejected defense motions for more time and to remove the judge presiding over it. Prosecutors allege the 55-year-old jailed leader of the Fundamentalist Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints had sex with two girls, one under age 14 and the other under age 17 at the Yearning for Zion ranch in remote Eldorado, Texas. Jeffs was extradited from Utah in November, and was originally scheduled to stand trial in January. But state District Judge Barbara Walther moved the case back, first to February and then to late July. Jeffs’ legal team had sought still more time to prepare, but Walther ruled the trial should go forward as scheduled. A separate bigamy trial against him has been scheduled for Oct. 3.
in stock. The store manager doesn’t know if her store will see more of these shirts. “You can call back later and see,” said store manager rebecca otero. “if they do come in, we already have a waiting list. other stores in the Metroplex are constantly calling about them.” Nursing sophomore Maria Magana said she doesn’t shop at old Navy but thinks the campaign would be effective. “i think it will get more awareness because even if you don’t shop there, you know old Navy,” she said. The old Navy campaign shows progress, Magana said. “A big company supporting a campaign like this means we are growing as a society,” she said. “Things are getting better.”
Valdez has mixed feelings about old Navy’s campaign, though. She said she is glad for the focus on the issue, but unclear about the depth of old Navy’s commitment. “i appreciate the effort, especially with a company that is a household name,” she said. “it is so gimmicky. At the same time, it is helpful but spreading awareness is always positive.” Most stores carrying the shirts sold out on the first day. “We’ve had a lot of people call or come in asking about the shirts. Some before they ever arrived,” said George Mendoza, the manager of the old Navy at dallas Park lane. “We sold out the day we got them.” The old Navy at the Galleria in dallas, the only other local store to carry the shirts, has children’s sizes left
Law enforcement conducts North Texas gang sweep DALLAS — Federal, state and local law enforcement officers have arrested 67 suspected foreign-born gang members and their associates in a five-day multiagency sweep of the Dallas-Fort Worth area. A statement issued by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Tuesday says all but 20 of those arrested are documented gang members. It describes seven others as associates from local street gangs. The most were arrested in Arlington and Fort Worth, with 17 each. Thirteen were arrested in Carrollton, and 12 were taken in Dallas. Forty-seven are U.S. citizens, while 15 others are from Mexico and the rest from assorted Latin American countries. They range in age from 17 to 54. Two are women.

In the twisted wake Although it’s better, Alabama still needs help
A
flight of stairs leading up to nowhere caught my eye as we drove down the twister-struck-streets of Tuscaloosa, Ala. A bottle of water was perched precariously on the topmost step surrounded by the remains of a household. The sight of the steps that were once an entrance to a house, a home, struck me with the harsh reality that many residents of Tuscaloosa had no homes to go to. I, who have been fortunate enough to claim several cities as my home, shudder to think about something like this VALLARI GUPTE happening to the cities I have lived in. At that moment, it struck me — I wanted to help these people. When the residents returned, I wanted them to feel that there were homes here, with walls, a porch and a backyard.

Our goal was to cut the tree into pieces that could be transported by the machinery. We had tree-cutters who chopped with their chain saws, and draggers who hauled the branches from the backyard to the roadside. Apart from the fallen trees all around, there was no sign of life in the house. Days two and three involved more yard work leaf raking. The trees were tangled in such a way that we had to clear out a path through a neighbor’s yard into the next one. A barking dog was tied up in a backyard and that was the first sign of life I had seen in the devastated area. Our last work site was the most difficult house to work on, for me. The dilated roof, the unhinged chandelier in what once might have been a bedroom and clothes that hung in a closet stood out among all the other debris. While raking leaves on the front porch, we found a framed photograph of three smiling women. The photo made the extent of the destruction a reality. Even though the evidence of the devastation was all around me, all the time, the family photo and a bottle of Creole seasoning on the kitchen counter was life. I looked around and realized that there was a lot of work to be done. It struck me that even a month later, many residents couldn’t return home. I couldn’t help but ponder upon the time it would take for Tuscaloosa to return to normalcy. I admire the residents of Tuscaloosa for their positive outlook even after a disaster. They had lost their homes and worldly belongings, yet they were smiling. A week in Tuscaloosa was a rewarding experience. I wouldn’t say that our help made all the difference, because it didn’t. There is still a lot of work to be done and I hope that I am able to go once more to work on the sites and to meet the people who made me feel at home in Alabama.

Get involved There is a lot to do on campus This weekend, hundreds of former members of UTA’s past football teams came together to celebrate their triumphs, accomplishments and honors during the Ultimate Huddle Arlington State College/UT Arlington Football Reunion. These athletes remembered the jokes, the moments and the achievements they created here at UTA. The memories they came to celebrate are an unintended appeal to current students. The university no longer has a NCAA football program, but students can still become involved with organizations at UTA so they can return after several years and celebrate the memories they created. Being a part of a team, club or organization allows students to participate in something bigger than themselves. Students can join an organization that
allows them to complete goals that improve the university and surrounding community. There are university organizations that are student-run such as UTA Volunteers and EXCEL Campus Activities, the main tasks of which are to provide opportunities for the student body like volunteering or organizing a concert. Involvement in organizations not only looks good on a resume, but provides skills that are harder to learn in a classroom. Students who come to campus to go to class then leave are missing out on sharpening their communication, creative-thinking and people skills. During International Week, dozens of student groups work with the International Student Organization to put together a food fair, fashion show and cultural show. That level of student collaboration and or-
ganization, which includes dozens of different groups, tasks and goals, can be hard to find in a classroom. The university doesn’t have a football program, but it houses several other athletic events and even more intramural sport activities. If sports aren’t your thing, UTA houses more than 300 organizations, with at least one sure to fit your liking. There are political groups, cultural groups, academic organizations, major and profession-specific organizations, and more. There’s a reason the university’s professional and student leaders encourage incoming students to get involved — it’s what truly defines one’s college experience. — The Shorthorn editorial board

NASA may be down, but not out The Shorthorn: Rebecca Stephens
An end to the shuttle program won’t lessen NASA’s importance
N
ASA is retiring its shuttle program, which started with its first launch on April 12, 1981, and completed more than 130 missions. Therefore, we will not see floating American astronauts, at least, in the foreseeable future. One of the most common questions I get during my planetarium shows is ‘What do we gain from these missions?’ Aside from the dazzling scientific research and exploration conducted during missions, and mind-blowing engineering to launch shuttles and return safely to Earth, there are several products we use today that were either invented or developed by NASA for space missions. A few examples are memory foam mattresses, shatterproof glasses, water filters and power tools. Talking to a man on the moon from Earth was a big technical challenge back in late 1960s, and technical developments to achieve this challenge prepared a concrete foundation for today’s wireless communi-

cation, namely cellphones and Wi-Fi. Could you imagine peoples’ reactions if you pulled out an iPhone from your pocket 15 years ago? But today’s econ o m i c challenges have set brakes on space exploration, which has shrunk NASA’s funding over the years. With the current funding, it became unsustainable to keep the shuttle flights going. It should be noted that NASA does more than space shuttle flights. NASA currently operates fascinating unmanned space missions across the solar system. For example, the MESSENGER satellite is now in Mercury’s orbit sending stunning pictures. The Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, a robotic spacecraft orbiting the moon, continues doing a great job on the moon. Several rovers on Mars continue to send pictures and video. NASA’s spacecraft Juno launches this summer to go to Jupiter. Cassini is taking amazing pictures from the orbit of Saturn, and New Horizons will soon encounter Pluto. In addition, NASA provides great support to STEM, science, technology, engineering and mathematics, fields by funding schools to hold teacher workshops and edu-

NASA has been funding countless research projects providing job opportunities to countless faculty and graduate students. These are very important but not as prominent as space shuttle missions. I think we are very fortunate to have NASA. If the Soviet Union threat wasn’t there in the ’60s, there wouldn’t be a “space race,” NASA or possibly an exponential trend in technological advancements. In my opinion, NASA is doing a great job, despite its shrunken budget, in being a primary driving force to recruit students in STEM fields. It is still common to hear a third grader say that he or she wants to be an astronaut at NASA. In its 30 years of space shuttle missions, NASA gained incredible know-how through the development of space technology. It has manufactured items no one has ever created. If this invaluable knowledge will be accessible by today’s and future private aerospace industry, we may still see great advancements. But NASA shouldn’t be completely out of this game. Hopefully, with a relatively better economy in the near future, NASA’s funding will be restored to a level that it can set new goals in space exploration that are even more prominent and more challenging.

the offensive back coach from 1964 to 1979, and the team’s defensive coordinator from 1980 to 1985, the year the intercollegiate football program ended. The reunion, originally scheduled for early February to coincide with Arlington’s hosting the Super Bowl, was rescheduled because of icy weather conditions. “The only way to get us back here was to honor Charles Key,” said Bill Miller, the University of Minnesota football team’s defensive coordinator. Miller played for UTA under Key in 1976 and 1977, and Key helped Miller get his first coaching job under Jimmy Johnson at Oklahoma State. “Charlie gave his entire life to this university,” he said. “He was the absolute example of helping people, teaching people and being a mentor for people.” Key influenced the lives of his players. He continues helping young UTA athletes through the Charlie Key Fund, established with donations from the event. “The fund is available to the athletic director. It is a discretionary fund,” said reunion committee member

Then-President Wendell Nedderman dropped the program in 1985, citing the athletics budget deficit and low game attendance. “It wasn’t a good feeling at all to have the program cancelled. It felt like something was off,” said Byron Williams, an alumnus who played at UTA from 1979 to 1982 and went on to play for the New York Giants. “Football did a lot for me in my life.” UTA President James Spaniolo addressed the issue to the crowd, expressing potential room for a football program in the future as the school works during the next decade to become a Tier One university. “The door has never been closed,” Spaniolo said. A few present at the reunion expressed disbelief about the idea. “If they wait 20 years, half of us will be dead. Hell, I’ll be dead,” Miller said. Yet, the overall sentiment
of the event was positive. “I learned hard work at UTA,” said Cliff Odom, an alumnus who played at UTA from 1976 to 1979 and went on to play 13 seasons in the NFL with the Cleveland Browns, Indianapolis Colts and Miami Dolphins. “A lot of the guys that came to UTA didn’t have a lot. It was your chance to step out and be a man. To realize if you work hard, good things will come to you.” Key may not have been at the event to witness how much he impacted the lives of his players, but his wife spoke about how Key would have felt. “He wanted all of you players to grow up and be fine young men, which is exactly what you’ve done,” Joy Ellen Key, Charlie Key’s widow, told the audience. Whether it is hope for a football program or hope for the future of UTA, the participants look for big things to happen with the university. “UTA is a great university, doing great things,” said Bob Utley, an alumnus who played at UTA from 1964 to 1966 and was the master of ceremonies at the reunion. “The 21st century for UTA is bright.”

Pizza goes ‘Old School’
BYTES
The cheese bread is the best thing on the menu, or at least that’s what manager and university studies senior Patrick Benavides says. “I always push that more than anything else because it’s not premade and it’s made from the same dough we make our pizzas with,” he said. As an employee, Benavides said he enjoys spending time at Old School Pizza and Suds on or off the clock. “I am always here,” he said. “It’s just a cool place to hang out.” The house-shaped restaurant features three dining rooms. Each room has several windows that let in natural light and give the place a homey atmosphere during the day. Movie posters like one of Animal House already hang on the walls, setting a college-like mood. After opening June 4, the new pizza place was ready to make all of the food on their 25-item menu, but lacked a liquor license to serve the beer, wine and liquor customers desired. Waiting on the license to sell alcohol, customers were given two free beers with their purchases. Co-owner Jeremy Spann expects to get the license today. History senior Chris Sanchez said one of his fraternity brothers enticed him to check out the new joint because of the free beer.
“I like the pizza because it’s not as greasy as other pizza places,” he said. “It tastes like a traditional homemade pizza should.” The pizza place gives homage to the campus by calling its supreme pizza The Maverick. Each pizza features a thick crust from dough made daily on location. Communications senior Mario Sanchez, not related to, but friends with Chris Sanchez, said he likes the location on the corner of Cooper and Abram streets and the fact that the place is open until 2 a.m. on the weekend. “We might start leaving the bar early to come over here and get some pizza and one last round of beers,” he said. Both said once Old School has its license, they were going to come back for the Ace Pear Cider available on tap. Spann said he, the other two owners and the general manager Kevin Baxter have known each other for almost 20 years, after serving in the Marine Corps together. While in the Corps, the friends talked about opening a pizza and beer place, then got serious and busy once they bought the property in January. Spann said the way he runs the business is similar to how things were when they friends were in the Marine Corps. “The first thing is mission accomplishment and, as long as the
mission is getting accomplished, the next thing is troop welfare — taking care of my employees,” he said. “If you always take care of your employees then they will always take care of the mission.” Though the restaurant just opened, Spann said he has a lot of plans to get larger crowds there on a regular basis. Once they acquire their liquor license, he plans to have 20 different beers on tap and 20 different beers in bottles. Happy hour prices are still being worked out. Other plans include having outside movies on a projector, live bands, money-raising events for charities, and a Man v. Food inspired eating challenge that would include each size of pizza, from personal to large, stacked on each other, called the Final Exam. “If you can pass the Final Exam, then we’ll comp the meal and you get a T-shirt,” he said. “But if you fail it, then you’ll have to pay for it and you’ll still get a T-shirt, but it will say ‘I failed the Final Exam.’” The restaurant also plans to deliver pizzas by bicycle to students on campus. Vehicle deliveries will also be available up to a three-mile radius from the restaurant. “I already really like the atmosphere and customer service,” graduate student Sahvanna Diaz said. After she asked for Tabasco sauce and was told they didn’t have any, Diaz was bummed be-
cause she loves the sauce on her pizza. “They then told me they would pick some up the next time they were out,” she said. “I mean come on — that’s customer service. That and look at all that beer that’s about to be available,” she said, pointing at the tap beers on the wall. ASHLEY BRADLEY features-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

art and art history just wanted to construct a boat. He was not interested in making art, he just wanted to make something he was fond of. “When I built this boat,” the artist said, pointing to a small distressed wood sculpture, his oldest piece in the collection. “I really wanted it to be just a boat.” The sculpture never made it to its typical form. The finished product isn’t something that can be taken out on the water. “I was interested in revealing some of the stages of construction,” Maroney said. “So, I started ripping some of the parts off of the boat.” Maroney believes too many artists today focus on the art parameters they learned in school. “You forget that there is a whole other way,” he said. “It is hard to be truly original when you are following handed down manners.” As an avid fly-fisherman, Maroney decided to use what he loved, the stream, to inspire his work. David Conn, who has been a friend to Maroney for more than 30 years, said it is always an interesting experience to go fishing with him. “He picks up things along the river and will just examine them,” Conn said. While nature does play a vital part in the boat sculptures and
print work that is created, the artist believes what influences him shows up in the work ambiguously. “It has the ability to conjure up a variety of different images and references,” he said about his work, adding that his work doesn’t explain itself. “The meaning is about the way the form comes together.” Each person makes a list internally when they come to a gallery, the artist said. What the artist is trying to communicate or what the art means are two of the biggest questions asked. Evoking a particular set of emotions in the viewer is not what Maroney is interested in, “Their interpretation is not about my emotions,” he said. “It is a little more selfish than that.” Maroney believes what the viewer thinks is their business, “This is my desire to get this out of me,” he said about his artwork. “It is about my interests, my phobias, my fetishes, my wishes and my love of color.” As an artist, he does not think he can control what the viewer comes away with. “I am just here to make these things that I enjoy making,” Maroney said. Longtime friend and art professor, Benito Huerta, is currently curating the exhibit and said he was immediately interested in Maroney when it came to showcasing a sur-

The two-week event, which began June 7, was designed to give students exposure to a variety of art and design media and methods to help develop creativity in its participants, senior lecturer Mark Clive said. “We wanted to give a head start to really talented high school artists,” he said. The students are selected for the free program by art teachers from more than 30 high schools.
All of the students in this year’s workshop have a background in digital design and are some of the most accomplished students in the area, Clive said. Workshop student Diana Vargas, who recently graduated from Lamar High School, will attend Savannah College of Art and Design in the fall, one of the most prestigious art programs in the country. Vargas, who primarily designs in Adobe Photoshop, said she was at times frustrated with the program the workshop uses, the 3-D modeling software program Autodesk Maya. “There are a lot of possibilities with the program,” she said. “But, being new to it, I did not realize how hard it would be.” Returning for the second time to the workshop, Ben Harden, Parish Episcopal high school senior, said he was prepared for the intense course. Last year, Harden’s
group created its own video games. This year, he is creating a digital world called Effluvium. “I looked on my favorite words in my dictionary app, and it means the spit that comes out of your mouth when you talk.” Effluvium is a miniature planet with exaggerated features. Each group member will create a robot that features their likenesses. Harden said his bird is from the future, after the apocalypse. Students taking their own liberty in their designs is important, Clive said. “They’re artists, and they have to be free to design the work they want to,” he said. Students will demonstrate their artwork from noon to 1:30 p.m. Friday in the Fine Arts Building Room 166 and the common area in front of the Gallery. Bianca Montes news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu

the minor leagues.” Baseball was one of the first sports Picca took a liking to. “It’s every kid’s dream,” he said. “I knew I had a chance when I got to high school. I kept getting better and better. And I knew if I continued to get better that I would be able to get the opportunity to play at a higher level.” In a press release, UTA baseball head coach Darin Thomas said he’s happy for Picca. “It’s a great opportunity for him. We certainly wish him the best of luck. He’s an extremely hard worker and I know he will make the most of his opportunity,” he said. Comer said he’s thankful for the Braves selecting him. “I’m really excited, and I’m ready to get started,” he said. Among the positive feedback and well wishes, Comer remembered well wishes coming from a coach he played under when he was 12. “It’s nice to know that they still keep up with me and follow my whole career,” he said. Comer began playing baseball at age four and plans on staying in it until he can’t anymore. “I’m very happy for him and his entire family,” Thomas said of Comer in a press release. “It is well-deserved and he had an outstanding career for us. I think he’s one of the better catchers to ever play here, and he has certainly been one of the better catchers in the Southland Conference over the last few years.” Baseball, like anything else in life, has its ups and downs, Comer said. If he could give any advice to today’s four year olds who share his dream, it would be “to stick with it,” he said. “No matter what happens, persevering through the tough times will be worth it at the end of the day,” he said.
College Town, UTA, a movement to connect the community to the university, has similar goals. “AHAP is a nice complement to the College Town, UTA, program,” said Amy Schultz, UTA Communications and Community Relations associate vice president. “For those alumni who chose to live and work in North Texas, the university would be delighted for them to choose Arlington as their residence because they can then continue to enjoy all that the university has to offer. Living in close proximity to UT–Arlington will allow them to attend events, athletic games, take advantage of continuing education opportunities, get involved in local UTA Alumni Association activities and much, much more.” The Arlington Homebuyers’ Assistance Program is designed to bolster home ownership in the city. The program focuses on Arlington residents who make 80 percent of area median income, which is $38,000 for a single person and $54,000 for a

with greater water pressure and higher volumes of water, he said. “There was a fire in 2005, they were able to fight the fire but had to make arrangements for extra water,” he said. “With this new system, we won’t have that problem.” Johnson said Facilities Management couldn’t isolate water from certain buildings when working on projects with the old water line. “Now we can and leave everything else operational,” he said. “We haven’t always had that option.” Biology senior Alyssa Figueroa said debris and dust
sometimes fill the air when she is on her way to the Life Science Building. She said she would like to see more of a barrier between the work and walkways. “Literally the difference between us and a jackhammer is a six inch chain link fence,” she said. Johnson said Facilities Management works with the Environmental Health and Safety Office to make sure the projects will not harm students. Most of biology senior Dequan Johnson’s summer classes are in the Life Science Building and he said the construction is a distraction. Johnson said he skims over the Trailblazer and checks his UTA email for construction updates, but feels the uni-
family of four. The Tarrant County Housing Partnership administers the loans. “We like to describe our clients as mainstream American professionals. We have firstyear teachers, service personnel, young families, single mothers and the elderly. This program is perfect for recent graduates,” said Donna VanNess, Tarrant County Housing Partnership president. The program is beneficial for graduates who can pay a mortgage but are struggling to come up with a down payment. “I love Arlington,” alumna Shelley Smith said. “I am a second-year teacher and have thought about buying a home, but with my student loans, it will take me a long time to save up for the down payment.” Participants must first qualify for a mortgage and follow the steps of the homebuying process. To be eligible for the program, they must meet the income requirements and attend an orientation session where they are educated about the program. Additionally, participants attend home buyer educational training, such as budgeting and lender orientation. “Because of the education,
we have very few foreclosures,” VanNess said. “Our clients are educated beforehand, which leads to sustainable homeownership. They become true assets to their neighborhoods and communities.” Long term, stable and “sustainable” homeownership is what the city is striving to achieve. “From a city-leadership perspective, it promotes homeownership in the city,” Zappasodi said. “It makes the city a more livable city.” There is enough money left to help a dozen families before the current program runs out this summer. The city hopes to use all of these funds soon. “This is an opportunity for city leaders to provide back to the city and our citizens,” said Gerald Urbantke, Arlington marketing communications manager. For more information about the program, an orientation will be held, in English and Spanish, at 5:30 p.m. July 6 at George W. Hawkes Central Library or visit http:// www.arlingtontx.gov/housing/homeownership_fthap. html for further details. Tiffany Todd news-editor.shorthorn@uta.edu
