with Midwestern State University
By Nikki King
The Weekly News
GAINESVILLE – The North
Central Texas College Board of
Regents gathered for a regular
meeting on the afternoon of June
21, where NCTC President Dr.
Brent Wallace announced plans
for NCTC to partner with Midwestern State University (MSU.)
“This is a very unique opportunity for NCTC students to
seamlessly continue their education and pursue a Baccalaureate
Degree right on our campus,”
said Wallace. The partnership will
allow for a 30,000 square foot
facility expansion on the NCTC
Flower Mound campus. The partnership agreement will be finalized at the August Board of Regents meeting. More information
will be published as it becomes
available.
During his report, Dr. Wallace
also announced that the Bowie
Economic Development Corporation is moving forward with a
possible expansion to the Bowie
campus. The expansion will be to
the Industrial Technology Center that recently opened on the
Gainesville campus. Plans are under development to further grow
the Corinth and Gainesville campuses as well.
Dr. Wallace thanked the NCTC
faculty and staff who have been
working long and hard to prepare
for the conversion to Jenzabar,
the new student information system. The conversion will be taking place from June 22 to July 20.
Students may still apply to the
college, bring intake documents
to any of the campuses, take College 101 and register for classes.
Staff members will be available to
assist students during this time.
NCTC Vice President of External Affairs, Debbie Sharp, presented the board with the Quarterly External Funding Update.
The NCTC Foundation reported
an 83.76 percent participation
in their Employee Giving Cam-
paign. This campaign was aimed
at full-time employees and was
in an effort to increase the number of scholarships offered by the
foundation. A total of almost
$59,000 was raised. Sharp said,
“The high amount of participation really showed us that our
employees know the impact that
scholarships do have on student
success.”
In other foundation news,
the foundation received over
$175,000 in donations over the
past quarter, and over the 20152016 Academic Year awarded
1,767 scholarships valued at
$697,050.

NTMC Tables Appointment
of New Board Member
By Nikki King
The Weekly News
GAINESVILLE – The
North Texas Medical Center Board of Directors held
a special called meeting
on the evening of Tuesday,
June 21, where they discussed the appointment of
a new board member after
the resignation of Director Dan Alexander in April
2016. The board decided
to table the appointment
of a new member until the
next regular monthly board
meeting which is scheduled
for Monday, June 27 at
6:00 p.m.
Local resident Rod Tyler
addressed the board during
community input regarding the future of the hospital saying, “A few days
ago a renter of mine called
me and asked if I thought
the hospital was closing. I
asked her why she thought
that, and she explained to
me that she had not been
able to go to work in 6
days because there were no
patients. I really couldn’t
believe that, but not knowing any different, I came
out here around 8:00 that
evening. I went down the
hall. I looked to the right
at the surgical wing that has
been closed for several years
now and the lights were
dim. I looked to the left,
at the medical wing and
sure enough, there were no
lights. There were no patients. There were no cars.
It was dark. It was an eerie

system automatically notified 911 dispatchers and fire
and police arrived within
minutes. Hospital maintenance personnel initially
responded to alarm and
immediately began executing the hospital’s Fire Plan.
The building was evacuated
and a number of visitors and
patients in the office building were taken to the main
hospital building as a precaution. The fire was quickly extinguished and there
were no injuries. A number
of hospital employees and
members of the hospital’s
Auxiliary responded to the
emergency.
feeling. You got that feeling
that the hospital had been
closed. I did find out that
both patients in that ward
had been moved to the ICU
unit to combine resources
and save some money.”
Tyler went on to say,
“Did you know that the
GISD waited until there
was 500 transfer students
before they decided they
had a problem? They have
not recovered from that yet.
I hope this board can turn
things around before it is
too late. Let’s concentrate
our time and energy on
saving this hospital. There
needs to be a meeting with
local physicians and find
out why they are not referring patients here, and fix
that problem.”
Tyler concluded his concerns by saying, “One other
thing that was worrying my
renter, is that there is rumor
of a 23-page report from
the state of deficiencies here
that have to be fixed. Maybe Randy (Bacus) can elaborate more on that. Thank
you for your time.”
No action was taken regarding the proposed new
service lines or product lines
for the hospital that were
discussed in closed session.
With no further action,
the meeting was adjourned
at 7:33 p.m. with all members present.
The NTMC Board of Directors held another special
called meeting on Thursday, June 23 to hear a proposal regarding new service
lines or product lines for
the hospital. No action was
taken at the meeting.

Pennsylvania to Washington:
The 2016 Election Is Not Over
By Mark Shields
“Everyone in Washington
wants to write that this
election is over,” cautions
respected pollster Peter D.
Hart, that Republican Donald Trump -- after six weeks
of highly public unforced
errors -- has effectively shattered his chances of winning
the White House. Hart, af-
ter conducting a two-hour
focus group of 11 bluecollar and service industry
voters in the Pittsburgh area
Tuesday night, had news for
the press and for his fellow
Democrats who are now so
overwhelmingly overconfident: “This 2016 election is
still very much ahead of us.”
These Pittsburgh voters (six of whom support
Trump, four of whom favor
Democrat Hillary Clinton
and one of whom is undecided between Trump and
Libertarian candidate Gary
Johnson, a former New
Mexico governor) make
$50,000 or less a year and
struggle daily in an unwelcoming economy. In the
words of Dara Held, 40,
who is self-employed selling purses and jewelry, their
“middle class is left out, sort
of a stepchild.” Optimism
is scarce; only three in the
group believe that their children will be better off than
they are.
A political focus group -in this case a project of the
Annenberg Public Policy
Center of the University of
Pennsylvania -- is intended
to capture the idiom of
voters, to hear how they
express their feelings and
their ambivalence. It does
not, unlike a national poll
of a thousand people, offer a
statistically reliable snapshot
of the nation. What a focus
group provides are the color,
nuance and context of how
voters feel.
Though the chattering
class may have already written Trump’s presidential
obituary, these Pittsburgh
voters -- just one of whom,
a 27-year-old self-employed
web designer and Clinton
supporter, is a college graduate -- are in no way writing
him off. Trump’s verbal missteps, so often ill-considered
and rude, were seen in the
focus group as strengths instead of drawbacks. “We’ve
been lied to so long,” said
Glenda Taylor, 42, a bartender. “So what, he doesn’t
want Muslims, per se, that
are terrorists in the country?
Then I’m glad he’s saying it,
because I don’t want them in
here, either.” Brian Easter, a
37-year-old limo driver who
leans to Clinton, added:
“Exactly what we need. He’s
more honest and doesn’t
care if he’s going to hurt the
next person’s feelings.”
Trump’s bluntness also
appeals to 48-year-old hairdresser Cherie Spena, who
noted that “it’s almost as if
he’s real and the people in
the past were cartoon char-
acters.”
When Hart mentioned
the fact that Trump, if elected, would be the first U.S.
president with no military
and no governmental experience, homemaker Megan
Carpenter, 32, said: “I don’t
understand how you’re commander in chief with no experience under you. It just
doesn’t make sense. Like, I
wouldn’t go tomorrow and
lead a law firm.” But Carpenter still backs Trump:
“Hillary’s off the table. He’s
the only one I have left.”
Even with her supporters in the room -- such as
homemaker Danyale Victor,
45, who is African-American -- Clinton inspires minimal passion. In fact, Victor expressed reservations
about Clinton’s gender in
the highest office, adding, “I
don’t think she can run the
country.”
In Pittsburgh in June,
Trump is still connecting
personally and emotionally with the kind of voters
whose support he will need
to become the first Republican presidential nominee
since 1988 to carry Pennsylvania. Clinton’s biggest
asset remains her experience. Sadly for Democrats,
experience by itself is only
the equivalent of a pair of
deuces in poker -- rarely a
winning hand.
In Peter Hart’s considered
judgment, the 2016 election
is still very much in front of
us.

Patrick J. Buchanan
Has Trump Found the Formula?
By Patrick J. Buchanan
Stripped of its excesses,
Donald Trump’s Wednesday
speech contains all the ingredients of a campaign that
can defeat Hillary Clinton
this fall.
Indeed, after the speech
ended Clinton was suddenly defending the Clinton Foundation against the
charge that it is a front for
a racket for her family’s enrichment.
The specific charges in
Trump’s indictment of Clinton: She is mendacious,
corrupt, incompetent and a
hypocrite.
“Hillary Clinton ... is
a world-class liar,” said
Trump. She faked a story
about being under fire at a
Bosnia airport, the kind of
claim for which TV anchors
get fired. She has lied repeatedly about her email server.
She lied to the families
of victims of the Benghazi
massacre by implying the
atrocity was a spontaneous
reaction to an anti-Islamic
video, not the premeditated
act of Islamist terror she
knew it to be.
Drop “world-class” and
Trump’s case is open and
shut.
His second charge: “Hillary has perfected the politics
of personal profit and theft”
and “may be the most corrupt person ever to seek the
presidency.”
Particulars?
Bill Clinton got $750,000
for a speech from a telecom
company facing State Department sanctions for providing technology to Iran.
The Clintons got the cash;
the telecom company got no
sanctions.
“Hillary Clinton’s State
Department approved the
transfer of 20 percent of
America’s uranium holdings to Russia, while 9 investors in the deal funneled
$145 million to the Clinton
Foundation.”
Trump added, “She ran
the State Department like
her own personal hedge
fund -- doing favors for oppressive regimes ... for cash.”
Together, she and Bill
have raked in $153 million
since 2001 in speaking fees
from “lobbyists, CEOs and
foreign governments.”
These figures are almost
beyond belief.
Sherman Adams had to
resign as Ike’s chief of staff
for accepting a vicuna coat
from Bernard Goldfine,
who had problems with federal regulators.
When ex-President Reagan, after brain surgery,
visited Japan to receive that
nation’s highest honor, The
Grand Cordon of the Supreme Order of the Chrysanthemum, and got a $2
million fee from the media
company that hosted his
nine-day visit, our liberal
editorial pages vomited out
their revulsion and disgust.
Where are those media
watchdogs today?
Rather than condemning
the Clintons’ greed, their
conflicts of interest and
their egregious exploitation
of their offices, the media
are covering for Hillary and
digging for dirt on Trump.
To substantiate his charge
of incompetence, Trump
notes that Clinton as Senator voted for arguably the
greatest strategic blunder in
U.S. history, the invasion of
Iraq.
She pushed the attack that
ousted Col. Gadhafi and unleashed terrorists who took
over much of Libya and
murdered our ambassador.
She played a leading role
in launching the insurrection against Bashar Assad
that has left hundreds of
thousands dead, uprooted
half of Syria and sent millions of refugees to seek asylum in Europe.
Primary beneficiary: ISIS,
with its capital in Raqqa.
And the hypocrisy charge?
Though Hillary and Bill
Clinton profess to be the
fighting champions of women’s equality and gay rights,
they have banked millions
in speaking feels and tens
of millions in contributions
to the Clinton Foundation
from Islamic regimes under
whose rule women are treated as chattel and homosexuals are flogged, beheaded
and stoned to death.
Why do major media let
them get away with such hypocrisy?
Because,
ideologically,
politically, socially, morally
and culturally, the major
media are with them.
While making the case
for the indictment of Hillary Clinton, Trump also
outlined an agenda with appeal not only to nationalists,
populists and conservatives
but working-class and minority Democrats.
If Trump is elected, an
economic system “rigged” to
enable big corporations to
leave and take factories and
jobs abroad, and bring their
goods back free of charge to
kill companies that stay in
America, will end.
“Globalism” will be replaced by “Americanism.”
Trade and tax policies
will be rewritten to provide
incentives for companies
to bring jobs and factories
here. Was this not also Bernie Sanders’ message? He
stood against NAFTA in the
1990s when the Clintons
colluded with Bush Republicans to impose it.
In his peroration, Trump
spoke of what we Americans
had done, how we had lost
our way, but how we could,
together, make her great
again. His finale was surprisingly aspirational, hopeful,
inclusive.
In the political year just
ended, several unmistakable
messages have been delivered.
First, the record turnout
for Trump and remarkable
turnout for Ted Cruz represented a repudiation of Beltway Republicanism.
Second, the amazing success of 74-year-old Socialist
Bernie Sanders in keeping
Clinton embattled until
California, showed that the
Democratic young have had
enough of Clintonism.
A majority of the nation
said loud and clear: We want
change.
Hillary Clinton’s vulnerability is that Americans
distrust her; no one believes
she represents change; and
she has no agenda and no vision.
Her campaign for president is all about her.
As Trump noted, even her
slogan is, “I’m with her.”
Rough and raw as it was
in parts, Donald Trump’s
speech on Wednesday contains the elements of a campaign that can win.

authorized Mayor Jim Goldsworthy to sign an estoppel
agreement with Everest,
Inc. and Fortune Hotels
Group, LLC for the Quality Inn property located
at 600 Medal of Honor
Boulevard. Currently, the
City of Gainesville leases
this property to the hotel.
Fortune Hotels will be purchasing Everest’s interest in
the lease. The lender has required the City to consent
to the sale and ensure that
the property is clear of any
liens or lawsuits.
City Council authorized
City Manager Barry Sullivan to execute release of
liens against the property
located at 725 S. Taylor
Street. The City holds seven
liens on the property totaling $10,536.47 for abating
high grass and weeds and
demolition of a substandard structure. The waiver
of city liens was requested

property owner will not
be allowed to purchase the
property at the Sheriff’s
sale.

Cooke County customers
with better access to adult
behavioral health services,
all in a convenient setting
close to their homes,” said
Thompson. “We are proud
to be able to expand treatment options in Cooke

were not available. This
facility will enable more
customers to have access to
these services without having to leave the County after
our intake process. My colleagues, and our staff look
forward to continuing our
long-standing commitment
to our community by serving more clients through
this new location.” Children’s Services will continue
