NTMC Holds Special Meeting;

No Action on Hospital LeaseBy Nikki KingTh e Weekly News

GAINESVILLE – Th e Gaines-ville Hospital District Board of Directors of North Texas Medi-cal Center held a Special Called Meeting Friday, June 15 at 8:00 a.m. where more discussion

was held regarding the lease of NTMC to Community Hospital Corporation (CHC). Discussion regarding the lease of NTMC to current manager CHC was held both in open and closed session. Th e proposed of-fer is a 25-year lease with 10-year renewal options with a proposed

rent of $41,000 per month. Upon approval of a lease option, CHC will be responsible for all general maintenance of the hos-pital and its facilities and can provide employees, if desired, but a separate service agreement will be necessary. Th e lease proposed by CHC

consists of three separate agree-ments: Hospital Operations Transfer Agreement, Facility and Equipment Lease Agreement and Hospital Operating Agreement. Th e Hospital Operations Trans-fer Agreement focuses on opera-tions itself. CHC plans to take all licenses, permits, physician contracts and inventory. Upon a lease, CHC has requested a working capital advance to con-duct hospital operations and will be responsible for paying back the advance as the funds are uti-lized. CHC will not be respon-sible for assuming any bond debt liability by NTMC. Th e Facility and Equipment Lease Agreement focuses on real property currently owned by the Gainesville Hospital District. Th is property includes the hospi-tal building itself (not including the Medical Offi ces Building), the rural clinic on Grand Av-enue, the specialty clinic on W. Highway 82, and multiple other buildings and vacant lots. Th e Hospital Operating Agree-ment pertains more to CHC and discusses how Community Hospital Corporation will op-erate the hospital.

Special Series toTh e Weekly News fromthe City of Gainesville

Educating and inform-ing our future leaders, while instilling in them the desire to give back, NCTC Stu-

dent Life is breeding heroes among us. At the end of each semes-ter, after students have fi n-ished their fi nals, Student Life at North Central Tex-as College takes a Service Learning Trip to a commu-

nity in need. Th ough the main objec-tive of these trips is to give back, the students also learn about various communities that they might not other-wise see. “We are thrilled to see

our students giving back, but they also get to learn new skills and bond with their fellow students that they may not know,” said Director of Student Life Daisy Garcia. “Students often learn basic carpentry and pick up leadership skills that they carry with them throughout their life.” Over the past 9 years, Student Life representa-tives have taken students across the United States to help those in need, in-cluding trips to California,

Missouri, New Mexico and various cities in Texas. On the most recent trip, in December 2017, stu-dents traveled to Houston, Texas, to aid in Hurricane Harvey relief. “We actually had another location planned out,” said Garcia, “but immediately when Hurricane Harvey hit and we saw all the dam-age, we knew we wanted to change our plans to help the Houston area.” Right after fi nals in De-cember, a dozen students

headed to Port Arthur for three days of volunteering. Students were able to help in a variety of ways. On the fi rst day, they were at the YMCA taking out fl ooring, tearing down a kitchen, and moving trash from the building. “Everything had been fl ooded and then left there for months, so we had to wear masks and be really careful when tearing out the cabinets and fl ooring,” said NCTC Student Vakayla Wilford. On the second day of the trip, students got a break from the heavy lifting to help the Salvation Army sort donations. Th ere was food from various food drives and toys and clothes for Christmas gifts. Stu-dents spent the day sorting through toys and clothes to match up the right sizes and gifts with the appropriate aged child. Th ey were also able to sort food into bags for the senior citizens who were homebound. NCTC Student Life went through a group called Community Collabora-tions, and on the third day, they got to help rebuild housing that had fl ooded. “Some homes and fami-lies don’t qualify for Habitat for Humanity or other assis-tance, so Community Col-laborations tries to help as many of those as they can,” said Wilford. Students helped to take down sheetrock and insu-lation, ripped out fl ooring and took down doors, to prep the house for being re-modeled. “You see the news and they tell you how much wa-ter there was,” said NCTC Student Tania Dominguez, “but when you see it in per-son and you can see the line on the walls where the water was standing, the severity really sinks in.” “Th ere are people still living in houses fi lled with mold,” said Wilford, “because they have no other option.” On their fi nal day, stu-dents were able to travel into downtown Houston and take in the sights. Th ey visited several free muse-ums, the Kemah Board-walk, and saw the Magical Winter Lights. Cooke County Amateur Radio Club donated $500 to Student Life for supplies. Th ey used about $100 for the masks and tools, and the students chose to do-nate the remaining $400 to the Houston Food Bank. “We thought we could have worked faster, or we could have been better at certain things,” said Wil-ford, “but we found out that they were so happy with what we did because there was someone there to help. Th at’s all that mat-tered to them.” Student Life will take their next Service Learning Trip mid-May to New Or-leans, Louisiana. Th ey will help with beachfront clean-up and volunteer in low-in-come areas still aff ected by the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina.

Behind the Texas Badge, New Book

of Local Law Enforcement ReleasedGAINESVILLE – Behind the Texas Badge, a coff ee ta-ble book featuring portraits and stories that range from heartbreaking to hilarious

of the men and women of Texas law enforcement, is the passion project of Gainesville, Texas couple,

retired 39-year Texas Peace Offi cer Doug Hutchison and his talented wife, free-lance writer and photogra-pher Carol. Th ey traveled

more than 15,000 miles across the state of Texas to photograph and interview 103 Texas law enforcement

offi cers and K9’s as close as the Dallas/Fort Worth Me-troplex to Caprock Canyons State Park near Amarillo, all the way down to South Tex-as to Eagle Pass. Th e book is full of offi cer portraits, images of badges, shoulder patches, squad units, fi re-arms, and more. “Reading this book takes me back to my police academy class, to a day when in strode a larg-er-than-life police instructor named Doug Hutchison,” said Assistant Chief of Po-lice Richard Scott of the North Richland Hill Police Department, who wrote the forward for the book. “…everything I thought I knew about law enforcement changed that day.” A portion of the profi ts from book sales will be do-nated to the Texas chapters of Concerns of Police Survi-vors (COPS), an organiza-tion that assists the families of fallen offi cers by off er-ing them their own healing programs, law enforcement

conferences and the peer support of other offi cers who have been through sim-ilar tragic events. A portion of the profi ts will also go to a hunting and fi shing pro-gram for the children of fall-en offi cers named the Great Fall Huntventure, sponsored by the Texas Game Wardens Association and the Tarrant Regional Water District Po-lice. Behind the Texas Badge features today’s law enforce-ment offi cers and shares the stories of their proud service to the citizens of the great state of Texas. “I wish all citizens realized that our of-fi cers are the very best our society has to off er and are the people of high character who honorably perform the most diffi cult job in Ameri-ca,” said Chief Steve Dye of the Grand Prairie Police De-partment.

Rebecca Crockett Chapter DAR Celebrates 115 Year Anniversary of Its FoundingCOOKE COUNTY – Rebecca Crockett Chapter DAR is a women’s service organization dedicated to

promoting historic pres-ervation, education, pa-triotism and honoring the patriots of the Revolution-

ary War. Founded June 25,1903, 12 descendants of Revolu-tionary patriots met in the Gainesville home of Mrs. Susan Bosson, Organiz-ing Regent, to form a new chapter. Th ose charter members were: Sara Allen Blanton, Elise Peeler Cut-ter, Grace Gay Hickson, Olive Hudson Hughes, Elizabeth F Walker Peeler, Sara Dyke Peeler, Alice Rollins, Nora Hudson Rose, Ida Cleaves Simp-son, Minnie V. Snyder and Mary Hudson Tyler. Th ey chose to name our chapter Rebecca Crockett after Rebecca Hawkins Crockett. She was born in Baltimore County, Mary-land in 1756. She mar-ried John Crockett who was born in Ireland or on a passage from that coun-try to America. He was a solider in the American Revolutionary War and fought at King’s Moun-tain against the British

and the Tories. Th ey lived in North Carolina, but later moved to East Tennessee where David Crockett, the hero of the Alamo, was born. Rebec-ca Crockett was a brave woman and suff ered many hardships during the try-ing time of the American Revolutionary War. She was living with a daughter at the time of her death in 1780 and was buried in the Tyson family cemetery and her remains were lat-er moved to Rutherford, Tennessee and buried next to a replica of David Crockett’s last home. We are unsure as to why her name was chosen. Cur-rent members that are de-scents of John Crockett: Tracye King Albone, Lila Beth Blowers Davis, Nan-cy Flowers Hellman and Charlene Flowers King. Over the years Rebecca Crockett has placed com-mentative monuments in Gainesville:

1908 – a large cannon was placed in Leonard Park which was later do-nated to scrap metal dur-ing World War II. 1924 – a marker for the fi rst oil well drilled in Cooke County. 1928 – a marker for the California Trail on the north side of the court-house. Today, they continue with their goals of historic preservation, education and patriotism. In 2015 they Welcomed Home Vietnam Veterans as they rode on their fl oat in the MOH parade. Th e swell of pride was over whelm-ing for the crowds and veterans. Th is year they celebrated veterans from all wars World War II to Afghanistan. In partner-ship with the Gainesville VFW Post, they place fl ags at veterans’ grave for Me-morial Day at Fairview Cemetery. Each year they sponsor Good Citizens from local schools and the students may enter

an Essay Contest if they wish. Julian Hesse, the fi rst-place winner this year, from Sacred Heart in Muenster went on to the State competition and place second. He received scholarship money from the chapter as well as Texas State DAR. Th is year they had the honor of presenting the DAR Medal of Honor to Don Pettigrew for his vi-sion and work for MOH host city program. Th e DAR Medal of Honor is the most prestigious hon-or awarded by the DAR and is given to an adult man or woman who is a United States citizen by birth and has shown ex-traordinary qualities of leadership, trustworthi-ness, service and patrio-tism. Th e recipient must have made unusual and lasting contributions to our American Heritage by truly giving of himself or herself to his or her com-munity, state, country, and fellowman.

consist of at least one member of the hospi-tal staff , one member of CHC Senior Manage-ment, and one member of the District Board of Directors. All current NTMC employees will switch over to the lease under CHC and will re-ceive credit for the length of time employed by the District. CHC President and CEO Jim Kendrick stated, “Th ere’s nothing about this that isn’t de-signed to keep you safe and keep us safe in a bal-anced business model.” Th e board also discussed the lease option in closed session. Board members entered closed session at 9:25 a.m. Approximately an hour and a half later, the board reconvened into open session and took no action regarding a lease of NTMC to CHC at this time. Th e lease will be discussed further at future

meetings. Th e board unanimously approved a recommenda-tion to CHC for a pos-sible CEO of NTMC. Approval of this action item also authorizes the Board Chair to commu-nicate the choice of CEO in writing to Community Hospital Corporation. As explained by Interim CEO Joe Th omason, the leading CEO candidate was well-received by the public during their inter-view process and scored 4.5 points out of a possi-ble 5 points in the scored portion of the interview process. If the CEO can-didate accepts the posi-tion, their base pay will be $225,000 annually, which puts them in the 45th percentile, and will eligible for performance bonuses, which could po-tentially bring their pay to approximately $280,000. Th e new CEO is antici-pated to be in offi ce by mid to late July. Board members ap-proved, by 9-0 vote, the 2017 Audit of the Gaines-ville Hospital District as conducted and presented by BKD. Th e 2017 Au-dit was presented at the previous regular meet-ing of the board and was tabled for further review by board members. Chris Clark of BKD was present to answer questions. A unanimous vote ap-proved termination of the Finance Committee at NTMC and authori-zation of the full board to undertake the respon-sibilities of the Finance Committee. Th is will al-low discussions which were normally held by the Finance Committee to be held publicly at the Board of Directors’ meetings, so that questions may be asked and in order to be more transparent regard-ing hospital fi nances. No action was taken re-garding a settlement with PHS lab management. Negotiations about this issue are still being held. With no further ac-tion necessary, the special meeting was adjourned shortly before 11:00 a.m. with all board members present.

become host to the fair’s fi rst ever No Limits Stock Show, sponsored by RDO Equipment, Co. Th e idea for this event came from a group of Den-ton County 4-H members

who recognized a need for activities catered to youth with disabilities and special needs in the North Texas area. Special needs indi-viduals face many physical and emotional challenges and this experience will give them the opportunity to do something they may never have had the chance

to do otherwise. With the help of their as-signed volunteer(s), partic-ipants will be able to show a sheep, goat, pig, dog, rab-bit, or mini horse. All of the participants will learn

how to groom and care for their animal before the show with the help of their volunteer(s), and then ex-hibit it in the show ring. Each participant will re-ceive a medal of honor, an event t-shirt, and a picture in front of the champion’s backdrop. Registration is now open for participants and for youth and adult vol-unteers. Paperwork for all of those positions may be found at ntfair.com under “Contests.” Registration paperwork is due by Au-

gust 3rd to the Texas A&M Agrilife Extension Offi ce at 401 W. Hickory Suite #125 Denton, TX 76201 or to Morgan Wilson at [email protected]. Th e Denton based event is a 501(c) (3) non-profi t organization dedicated to the preservation of west-ern heritage. Th e mission of the NTFR is to support Youth, Agriculture and Community. All general revenue is reinvested into various programs, scholar-ships and facilities.

President Donald Trump appears to belong to what might be called the Benja-min Disraeli school of di-plomacy. Th e British prime min-ister once counseled, “Ev-eryone likes fl attery; and when you come to Royalty you should lay it on with a trowel.” At his Singapore summit, Trump smartly saluted a North Korean general and then lavished praise on Kim Jong Un as a “strong guy” with a “good personality” and a “great negotiator.” “He’s funny, and ... very, very smart ... and a very strategic kind of a guy. ... His country does love him.” Predictably, Trump is be-ing scourged for this. Yet, during his trip to Peking in 1972, Richard

Nixon did not confront Chairman Mao on his his-tory of massacres and mur-der, though Nixon’s visit came in the midst of Mao’s Cultural Revolution, a na-tionwide pogrom. Nor did Churchill or FDR at their wartime sum-mits confront their ally Sta-lin for his legendary crimes against humanity. Both gushed over “Uncle Joe.” Still, if the Trump-Kim camaraderie goes south and the crisis of 2017, when war seemed possible, returns, Trump, as he concedes, will be charged with naivety for having placed his trust in such a tyrant. Yet, to Trump’s credit, we are surely at a better place than we were a year ago when Kim was testing hy-drogen bombs and ICBMs, and he and Trump were trading threats and insults in what seemed the prelude to a new Korean War. Whatever one may think of his diplomacy, Trump has, for now, lifted the spec-ter of nuclear war from the Korean peninsula and be-gun a negotiating process that could lead to tolerable coexistence. Th e central questions to emerge from the summit are these: What does Kim

want, and what is he willing to pay for it? Transparently, he does not want a war with the United States. Th at black cloud has passed over. Sec-ond, Kim and North Korea have emerged from their isolation in as dramatic a fashion as did Mao’s China in 1972. In 2018, the North was invited to the Seoul Olym-pics. Kim met twice with South Korea’s president and twice with China’s Xi Jin-ping. Vladimir Putin’s for-eign minister stopped by. And Kim had a face-to-face summit with a U.S. presi-dent, something his grand-father and father never came close to achieving. It is unlikely Kim will be retreating back into the cloisters of the Hermit Kingdom after being court-ed by the world’s foremost powers. What does Trump have on off er to induce Kim to end the lifetime of hostil-ity? It is a long menu of what Kim can expect if he will surrender his nuclear weapons and dismantle the factories and facilities that produce them. Among the benefi ts prof-fered: recognition of his dynasty and U.S. security

guarantees, an end of sanc-tions, foreign investment, a peace treaty signed by the United States to replace the 65-year-old armistice and the eventual withdrawal of U.S. forces from the Korean peninsula. Trump has already at-tended to one of Kim’s complaints. Th e joint mili-tary exercises we have con-ducted annually with South Korea for decades have been declared by Trump to be “war games” and “very provocative” and have been suspended. What is being asked of Kim in return? He must provide an in-ventory of all nuclear weap-ons and where they are hidden, surrender them all, dismantle his plutonium and uranium production plants, and shut down his testing sites, all under the watch of U.S.-approved in-spectors. He must renounce any and all nuclear weapons forever, and accept a regime of international inspections that would guarantee he never cheats on that com-mitment. Here is where the crunch comes. Kim is being told that he must give up the weapons whose very posses-

sion by him are the reason why the world powers are paying him heed. As leader of a country with a per capita income smaller than Haiti’s, Kim is being told he must surren-der the weapons that placed him and North Korea in the world’s most exclusive club, to which only eight other nations belong: the U.S., Russia, China, Brit-ain, France, India, Pakistan and Israel. Will Kim, whose nuclear weapons have enabled him to strut on the world stage and trade insults with the president of the United States, give them up to be-come the leader of a poor backward nation, with half the population of South Korea and not even 4 per-cent of the economy of the South?

Will he give up his most reliable deterrent against an attack by the United States or China? In the Kim-Trump rela-tionship, this is where the rubber meets the road. Kim has seen how Americans treat nations -- like Gad-hafi ’s Libya, Saddam’s Iraq, and Iran -- that decline to develop or surrender the kind of weapons his coun-try took decades to plan, test, produce and deploy. Should Kim give up his nukes, what U.S. president would fl y halfway around the world to meet him one-to-one? Hence the crucial ques-tion: Will he ever really give them up?

After Election Day in 1964, when Lyndon B. Johnson won a landslide victory over Republi-can Barry Goldwater and Democrats procured a 68-32 majority in the Senate, the Democratic Caucus of the U.S. Senate met in private. Rightly confi dent -- they now had the num-bers needed to pass Medi-care, Medicaid and the Voting Rights Act -- eu-phoric Senate Democrats were generally unreceptive to the solemn reality check delivered by their just re-elected Minnesota col-league, Eugene McCarthy. Stipulating his own and the caucus’s strong support for LBJ, who was their former majority leader, McCarthy warned that if there arose a need to stand up to Presi-dent Johnson for any ma-jor error in foreign or do-

mestic policy, because the Republicans were such a depleted minority, it could only come from those on the Democratic side. True to his word, Gene McCarthy, undefeated in seven Minnesota elections, on Nov. 30, 1967, earned the begrudging admiration of his timid colleagues and the gratitude of concerned Americans when he eff ec-tively sacrifi ced his own political career by rising to challenge LBJ, whose war policy in Vietnam many objected to, for the Demo-cratic presidential nomina-tion. He also changed his-tory. Twice in this campaign year, I have heard candi-dates publicly disparaging their opponents for, not unlike McCarthy, acting on conscience. Th e fi rst was Democrat Marie New-man -- backed by many national liberal groups, in-cluding the political arms of Planned Parenthood and NARAL Pro-Choice America -- who attacked her Illinois primary oppo-nent, Rep. Dan Lipinski, for his lifelong opposition to abortion. Th is statement by Newman went publicly uncriticized by her liberal supporters: “We can’t vote our own conscience as (Lipinski) likes to say. We

have to vote how our con-stituents want us to vote.” By that logic, the 156 senators and representa-tives who dared, when the public backed going to war by more than a 3-1 ratio, to vote against the mis-taken U.S. invasion of Iraq should have been banished from offi ce. Newman lost. Th e second occurred this past week in South Caro-lina. Rep. Mark Sanford, a former two-term governor, lost his Republican prima-ry to state Rep. Katie Ar-rington, who had blasted career conservative Sanford for being one of only fi ve House Republicans to vote against an $827 billion bill that included $1.6 bil-lion for President Donald Trump’s cherished border wall. Sanford had angered Trump when the president was a candidate by publicly urging him to release (as he had repeatedly promised he would) his personal tax returns and advocating a more welcoming adminis-tration policy toward im-migrants who were brought here illegally as children. Chutzpah, which might be defi ned as a defendant found guilty of killing both of his parents dar-ing to seek mercy from the judge on the grounds that he is now an orphan,

begins to describe Trump’s tweet endorsing Arrington and making it all personal: “Mark Sanford has been very unhelpful to me in my campaign to (make America great again). He is MIA and nothing but

trouble. He is better off in Argentina.” Here Trump, who has often publicly boasted about his nonmar-ital sexual conquests, raised hypocrisy to an art form by invoking then-Gov. San-ford’s publicly admitted marriage-ending infi deli-ties, which ended his na-

tional political prospects. Winner Arrington, who had campaigned against Sanford’s diff erences with the president, gratefully pledged her fealty to the Leader: “We are the party of Donald J. Trump.”

Th is was South Carolina, where, in a 2016 primary debate, candidate Trump accused former President George W. Bush of lying about Iraqi weapons of mass destruction to take the country to war. (“Th ey lied. Th ey said there were weapons of mass destruc-

tion ... and they knew there were none.”) In spite of the fact that there is video of the debate, Trump denied ever having said this. But this is the party of Donald J. Trump, and that chill causing Republican

offi ce seekers to shiver is the frost from the cowardly fear they have of off ending their master. Where is the Republican Gene McCar-thy? Copyright 2018 Mark Shields. Copyright 2018 Creators.Com.

COOKE COUNTY – Th e Girl Scout Gold Award is the highest honor a Girl Scout can earn. Since 1916, Girl Scouts have been making meaningful, sustainable changes in their environment and around the world. On May 11, Harper Crisp and Morgan Hennigan were recognized with a reception in Fort Worth, in honor of their dedication and commit-ment to their communi-ties. Both girls have been members of troop 4657, for the past 12 years under the leadership of Jennifer Bay-er, Angela Hennigan, and Zonya Klement. Earning the Gold Award is not an easy task. Once prerequisites have been met, each girl must use their vision for change to complete a service project that reaches beyond the Girl Scout organization. Th e project must provide a lasting benefi t to the com-munity and required at least 80 hours of work by the awardee. Written proj-ect proposals were submit-ted to the Fort Worth Texas

Oklahoma Plains Council for approval and once proj-

ects were completed a fi nal report was also submitted.

Harper Crisp is the daugh-ter of Tracey Jennings.

She is a recent graduate of Sacred Heart Catho-

lic School. Harper knows fi rst-hand what it is like to be admitted for surgery at Texas Scottish Rite Hospi-tal. Children struggle with the fear of the unknown and she wanted to give them a little bit of com-fort. Harper and her team sewed over 200 pillowcases for incoming patients. She was overwhelmed with the enthusiasm and responses received when she used her social network to reach out for volunteers. “We can accomplish more together than we can alone” she stat-ed. Members of the First United Methodist Church in Bowie will continue Harper’s project by sewing new pillowcases each year during the youth fair. Morgan Hennigan is the daughter of James and Ange-la Hennigan. She is a senior at Muenster High School. Morgan wanted to empower girls in her community to be confi dent and strong. She began with addressing the safety of girls through a two-hour self-defense class. A total of 28 girls attended the Saturday morning class and each girl was provided with a safety key chain alert siren. Morgan also painted inspirational murals on the walls of the elementary lock-er room. Her favorite quote was, “You are strong, You are brave, You are Beautiful.” Th e Muenster High School Student Council has agreed to continue the self-defense class and the positive murals will last for many years to come. Harper and Morgan have truly made the world a better place. Th ese young women are coura-geous leaders and vision-ary change-makers. Th ey are our future, and it looks bright!
