NTMC Board Approves New King
Equipment; Shows YTD Losses Around
Town
By Nikki King
The Weekly News
GAINESVILLE – During a
regular meeting of the North
Texas Medical Center Board of
Directors held Monday, October 26, a Capital Expenditure
Request (CER) was approved for
new equipment in the Operating Rooms (OR.) The current
equipment was brought in new
in 2004 when North Texas Medical Center first opened, and there
have since been many advances
in equipment. Hospital representatives completed four site visits
to different companies which
manufacture operating room
equipment. NTMC CEO Randy
Bacus showed a slideshow presentation to go over the pros and
cons of each site visit. The Board
unanimously approved Stryker
to provide the new OR equipment which will consist of lights,
booms and video integration systems. The total cost is $741,719
and a $75,000 grant was received
from the Texas Department of
Agriculture to help offset the total cost. NTMC plans to finance
the remainder of the cost over a
5-year period at a rate of about
4.5 percent.
Also approved by Board members were new OB/GYN lights
and caesarian section equipment for the Women’s Center
at NTMC as the current equipment was moved from the previous hospital and is outdated.
Stryker will be providing this
equipment as well and the total
cost is $28,293.
In the CEO’s report, Bacus
stated that an orthopedic candidate had recently been interviewed and that the hospital had
gotten a very good response from
the employees regarding the market adjustment on their salaries.
Bacus also noted that Dr. Jeremy
Sanderson of the NTMC Specialty Clinic would be moving
into the Medical Offices Building
at the hospital. The grand opening for Gainesville Allergy, ENT
and Plastic Surgery, the office of

Law Dogs to Hold Annual
Littlest Angel Toy Run
GAINESVILLE - Since 2003
the Law Dogs Motorcycle Club
has been an advocate for the
Cooke County Littlest Angels
Program, with the main contribution being the annual toy
run that is organized every year.
The bike run is open to everyone including any car, truck
or bicycle. The Littlest Angel
Program was founded in 1981
to help families that could not
afford Christmas for their chil-
dren. This run helps raise money
through sponsorships from local
businesses and entry fees from
the Toy Run itself. The support
from local businesses is one of
the main driving forces of the
success of the Littlest Angel Program as the majority of money is
raised through gracious sponsors
with the t-shirts. Law Dogs Law
Enforcement Motorcycle Club
(LEMC) has been an instrumental part of the success with this
toy run. Because of hard work
and dedication of this group
and the many volunteers within
the community, more and more
children have had the chance to
experience Christmas than in
previous years. We all work together for the common cause,
which is giving the Littlest Angel Program the tools to do their
job. Since Law Dogs LEMC
has been a part of the program,
they have raised over $52,000
Comer Announces
Candidacy for DA
GAINESVILLE – Long time
Cooke County resident and
practicing attorney Derrell
Comer has announced he is
seeking the Republican nomination for Cooke County District
Attorney.
“There are great opportunities for improving our District
Attorney’s office which in turn
will improve our community,”
said Comer. “I believe my years
of work experience make me the
best candidate to make these improvements. That is why I have
decided to run for the Cooke
County District Attorney position. You will not find another
candidate that cares more about
our County or has stronger ties
to our community.
“I was born in the Gainesville
Hospital. I grew up in Gainesville. I graduated from Gainesville High School in 1987. I
earned an Associates of Science
Degree from Cooke County
Community College (now North
Central Texas College). I married a Callisburg High School
graduate. My wife and I bought
our first house in Gainesville
in 1991 and when I graduated
from Texas Wesleyan School of
Law (now Texas A&M School of
Law) I began immediately practicing law here in Cooke County
where I have continuously practiced since 2002.”
Comer has been married to
his wife the former Nora Kay
Harmon for over 24 years and
they have two grown sons Cody
and Caleb.

4,500 children so far. Every
dollar and toy gathered for the
event goes to children in Cooke
County.
On Saturday, November 14,
2015, everyone is welcome to
come out to the Gainesville
VFW for registration from 9:00
a.m. to 10:00 a.m. The first 100
people to register are guaranteed
a Toy Run T-Shirt, meal at the
end of the run and an equal opportunity at winning $750 in
cash prizes. Again, we are having
a “Marble Run,” which is the
same as a traditional Poker Run,
but with marbles. Throughout
Cooke County, there will be
stops where you draw for a colored marble. Each color is worth
so many points. At the end of
the ride, high score wins. This
will be approximately a 100 mile
ride through some of the most
beautiful roads and scenery in
the county, including areas such
as Callisburg, Lake Kiowa, Era,
Lindsay and more. Thanks to
the local businesses, we have
$750 worth of prizes for 1st and
2nd place. Entry fee for the Toy
Run is $25 per bike. As always,
a new and unwrapped toy gets
you into the Toy Run as well.

Tally End of Fall Season Results
Special to The Weekly News
GAINESVILLE – On
Tuesday night at Edison
Park, the championship
tournaments for the adult
slow-pitch softball “D” and
“E” leagues were held to
conclude a great fall season
full of action and excitement. The “E” league play-
offs were kicked off by the
Slackers and Help Wanted.
In the bottom of the fifth,
Help Wanted was down
by five runs. But they were
only able to bring in three
runs to bring them within
two runs, and lost 15-13,
as the Slackers advanced to
the next round. The second
game of the night featured

the second place Howling Commandos faced the
third place Sons of Pitches.
The Howling Commandos got off to a hot start,
scoring 13 runs in the first
two innings. The Sons of
Pitches put up a good fight
and brought it back to being down only three runs,
but as time expired in the
bottom of the fifth inning,
The Commandos added
two more runs and won the
game, 20-15, and advanced
to the championship game.
In the third game of the
night the first place Hit N
Run play their first game
of the night against Slackers. This game went as most
expected, with Hit N Run
registering 18 runs in four
innings and defeating the
Slackers, 18-4, advancing
to the championship game
against The Howling Commandos. The final game of
the “E” league season was
close through the third inning, with Hit N Run leading by only one run. But
in the next three innings
The Howling Commandos
offense slowed nearly to a
halt, eking out only one
run to Hit N Run’s eight.
The final score of the game
was 17-9, with Hit N Run

trophy.
On the other field there
was just as much action going on as the “D” league
playoffs were underway.
Game one featured The
Lady Killers facing off
against Superior Machining. Superior got off to an
early lead, but in the fourth
inning The Lady Killers
got their offense going and
brought themselves back
to within one run. In the
fourth, fifth, and sixth innings The Lady Killers kept
the hot bat as Superior’s offense slowed and could not
keep pace. In their last at
bat, Superior scored three
runs, but it wasn’t enough
as the third and final out
was recorded and their season ended, while The Lady
Killers advanced. The second game of the night was
between third place Tyler
Anderle and the last place
Goonies. Tyler Anderle got
off to a great start, scoring
eight runs in the first and
was able to maintain their
lead throughout the game,
and defeated The Goonies,
18-8. The next game had
the The Lady Killers going
up against the number one
ranked Venom. Venom led
12-7 after two innings, and
in the final inning they added another ten runs before
time expired, and sent The
Lady Killers home, winning 22-8. The penultimate
game of the night featured
the second place Auto Body
Concepts going up against
Tyler Anderle. This game
was neck-and-neck through
the first three innings with
Tyler Anderle leading 1311. In the fourth inning,
Tyler Anderle scored only
one run, while the Auto
Body bats got hot and put
up seven. In the fifth, Tyler
Anderle had once chance to
score 4 runs they needed to
go to extra innings as time
was about to expire. But try
as they might, they were
only able to get one player
across home plate, ending
their season, and advancing
Auto Body Concepts into
the championship game
against Venom. This showdown had the high powered
offenses of the number one
and two ranked teams in
the league battling it out
to claim the championship
trophy. Both teams were
able to find a good offensive
rhythm in the first three
innings, with Auto Body
leading 11-7 going in to the
fourth. Neither team scored
a run in the fourth, but both
teams got five across in the
fifth, making the score 1612, with Auto Body in the
lead. In the top of the final
inning, Auto Body kept the
party going as they scored
eight runs, four of which
were from two big-time
homeruns. In the bottom
of the sixth, Venom had the
very tall task of needing a
dozen runs to stay and go
to extra innings. But when
then third out was recorded
they had only managed to
score one run, as the game
ended and Auto Body Concepts claimed the first place
trophy.

Patrick J. Buchanan
War in Syria? Where Is Speaker Ryan?
By Patrick J. Buchanan
“The United States is being
sucked into a new Middle
East war,” says The New
York Times. And the Times
has it exactly right.
Despite repeated pledges
not to put “boots on the
ground” in Syria, President
Obama is inserting 50 U.S.
special ops troops into that
country, with more to follow.
U.S. A-10 “warthog” attack planes have been moved
into Incirlik Air Base in Turkey, close to Syria.
Hillary Clinton, who has
called for arming Syrian
rebels to bring down Bashar
Assad, is urging Obama to
establish a no-fly zone inside
Syria.
Citing Clinton and Gen.
David Petraeus, John McCain is calling for a no-fly
zone and a safe zone in Syria, to be policed by U.S. air
power.
“How many men, women
and children,” McCain asks,
“are we willing to watch being slaughtered by the Russians and Bashar al-Assad?”
Yet, if we put U.S. forces
onto sovereign Syrian territory, against the will and resistance of that government,
that is an act of war.
Would we tolerate Mexi-
can troops in Texas to protect their citizens inside our
country? Would we, in the
Cold War, have tolerated
Russians in Cuba telling
us they were establishing a
no-fly zone for all U.S. warplanes over the Florida Strait
and Florida Keys?
Obama has begun an escalation into Syria’s civil war,
and not only against ISIS
and the al-Nusra Front, but
against Syria’s armed forces.
Mission creep has begun.
The tripwire is being put
down. Yet, who authorized
Obama to take us into this
war? The Russians and Iranians are in Syria at the invitation of the government.
But Obama has no authorization from Congress to put
combat troops into Syria.
Neither the al-Nusra
Front nor ISIS has an air
force. Against whom, then,
is this Clinton-McCain no
fly-zone directed, if not Syrian and Russian warplanes
and helicopters?
Is America really prepared
to order the shooting down
of Russian warplanes and
the killing of Russian pilots
operating inside Syria with
the approval of the Syrian
government?
In deepening America’s
involvement and risking a
clash with Syrian, Russian
and Iranian forces, Obama
is contemptuously ignoring
a Congress that has never
authorized the use of military force against the Damascus regime.
Congress’ meek acquiescence in being stripped of its
war powers is astonishing.
Weren’t these the Republicans who were going to
Washington to “stand up to
Obama”?
Coming after Congress
voted for “fast track,” i.e., to
surrender its constitutional
right to amend trade treaties,
the capitulations of 2015
rank as milestones in the
long decline into irrelevance
of the U.S. Congress. Yet in
the Constitution, Congress
is still the first branch of the
U.S. government.
Has anyone thought
through to where this U.S.
intervention can lead?
This weekend, the Justice
and Development Party,
or AKP, of President Recep
Tayyip Erdogan regained
full control of the parliament in a “khaki election”
it called after renewing its
war on the Kurdish PKK
in southeastern Turkey and
northern Iraq.
Erdogan regards the PKK
as a terror group. As do we.
But Erdogan also considers
Syria’s Kurdish fighters, the
YPG, to be terrorists. And
Ankara has warned that if
the YPG occupies more
territory along the SyrianTurkish border, west of the
Euphrates, Turkey will attack.
Why should this concern
us?
Not only do we not regard
the YPG as terrorists, they
are the fighting allies we
assisted in the recapture of
Kobani. And the U.S. hopes
Syria’s Kurds will serve as the
spear point of the campaign
to retake Raqqa, the ISIS
capital in Syria, which is
only a few dozen miles south
of YPG lines.
Should the YPG help to
defeat ISIS and become the
dominant power in northern
Syria, the more dangerous
they will appear to Erdogan,
and the more problems that
will create between the Turkish president and his NATO
ally, the United States.
Not only does a Congressional debate on an authorization to use military force
appear constitutionally mandated before we intervene in
Syria, but the debate itself
on an AUMF might induce
a measure of caution before
we plunge into yet another
Middle East quagmire.
When Saddam fell, we got
civil war, ISIS in Anbar, and
a fractured and failed state
with hundreds dying every
week.
And, as of today, no one
knows with certitude who
rises if Assad falls.
The leading candidates are
Jabhat al-Nusra, the front
for an al-Qaida that brought
down the twin towers, and
the butchers of ISIS, who
captured another town on
the Damascus road this
weekend.
Monday, The Wall Street
Journal wrote that Erdogan’s regrettable victory is “a
reminder of what happens
when America’s refusal to act
to stop chaos in places like
Syria frightens allies into
making unpalatable choices.”
Now there’s an argument
for America’s plunging into
Syria: Send our troops to
fight and die in multisided civil war that has cost
250,000 lives, so Turks will
feel reassured enough they
won’t vote for “strongmen”
like Erdogan.
America needs an America
First movement.

Who Wrote the 2016 Campaign Script?
By Mark Shields
It first hit me on a Tuesday morning in March at
a Washington presidential
forum sponsored by the
International Association
of Fire Fighters. One 2016
White House contender
spoke the following: “We’ve
seen over the past number of years two Americas
emerge. At the very top,
top 1 percent today, with
the largest federal government we’ve ever had, the
top 1 percent earn a higher
share of our income (than
at any time) since 1928.”
His words were frankly
reminiscent of those I had
heard 12 years earlier in
Iowa from another darkhorse presidential candidate who would win the
surprise endorsement of
the influential Des Moines
Register, which quoted
him on the subject of the
two Americas: “One America does the work, while
another America reaps
the reward. One America
pays the taxes, while another America gets the tax
breaks.”
In 2003, I saw a senator
make affluent party audiences uncomfortable, reminding them of the moral
outrage of their neighbors
and fellow Americans
“working full-time and
living in poverty.” He was
a freshman Democratic
senator from North Carolina named John Edwards.
Largely on the appeal of
that message, the next July
Edwards would become
his party’s vice-presidential
nominee.
In 2015, the echoes of
John Edwards’ “Two Americas” could be heard in the
speech to the firefighters by
a fiery conservative freshman Republican senator
from Texas, Ted Cruz.
Ted Cruz isn’t the only
conservative Republican
running for president
who borrows from John
Edwards. Rand Paul, the
libertarian-leaning Kentucky senator, has urged
that we honor Rev. Martin
Luther King Jr. “by uniting
the two Americas into one
America that includes justice for one and justice for
all.”
2016 Democrats have
taken more from Edwards’
book than mere rhetoric.
Three presidential elections
ago, the North Carolinian,
himself a graduate of his
state’s public universities,
ran on making college free
for all students who were
willing to work; a dramatic
increase in the minimum
wage; and making it possible for Americans to buy
into Medicare coverage
for their health care; and
against an “income inequality (that) is not healthy for
America” where the “top
300,000 income earners in
America now make more
than the bottom 150 million combined.”
He proved himself to be
a prophet without honor.
John Edwards, while posing for pictures as the husband of the year to his wife
Elizabeth, who was dying
from breast cancer, had
fathered a child during an
extended affair with a campaign worker, persuaded a
married aide to claim paternity for the child, and was
tried and acquitted on one
count (the jury deadlocked
on five other charges) of
violating campaign laws
for allegedly misusing $1
million (mostly from heiress Rachel “Bunny” Mellon) in illegal campaign
contributions to keep his
mistress and child hidden
and to pay their living expenses.
But now, four presidential campaigns later, I can
still remember his holding the total attention of
his audience with his re-

watch
The estimated population of the United States is 321,698,586
so each citizen’s share of this debt is $56,446.25. The National
Debt has continued to increase an average of $1.85 billion per
day since September 30, 2012!*

assuring voice: “We have
a moral responsibility to
help those around us who
are struggling. ... How we
treat people in their time of
need is the test of our character.” To those struggling,
“We see you; we hear you;
we embrace you, and we
are going to lift you up.”
Any political future is obviously out of the question
for John Edwards. And
while he proved himself
to be a fatally flawed messenger, Edwards’ message
-- even if unattributed -- is
very much alive and central
to the campaign of 2016.
But Heraclitus, of course,
was right. Character is destiny.

Cooke County History
A Crime-Filled
Weekend
By Shana Powell
Contributing Historian
The Weekly News
Even in the most patriotic of times, criminals
still actively operate in
towns and cities all over
the country. During one
weekend in March 1944,
Gainesville residents discovered that reality firsthand.
On Monday, March 20,
1944 it was reported that
“late Saturday merchandise, cash, and checks valued at about $6000 were
stolen from one of the oldest drug stores in Gainesville, the Watts Brothers drug store located on
Commerce Street.”
The police believed that
this theft represented what
was up to that point the
“largest single haul ever
made in one robbery in
Gainesville”.
Apparently, the intruder
broke into the building
through the front door
since the “handle and latch
on the outside were bent to
the right as though great
pressure had been exerted
by a bar or other tool to
force the lock.” The back
door was found open and
possibly was utilized as an
exit after the completion
of the crime.
Evidence pointed to a
professional criminal or
criminals by the way the
heavy safe was cracked
open.
Brothers and owners
of the drug store, fiftyyear-old Ballard and fiftyfour-year old Floyd Watts,
indicated in their statement that a “large number of valuable diamond
rings were taken, along
with watches of various
types and rings with other
stones.”
As everyone would not
realize that a drug store
would have that type of
merchandise on hand it
was thought that the robber knew something of
the operation of the drug
store and possessed an idea
of the “loot” contained
there.
Around $1800 in cash
and checks was stolen.
Two $1000 war bonds
also were taken but “since
they were not negotiable
officers felt that little likelihood existed of tracing
them.”
The thief also took narcotics belonging to both
the drug store and Dr.
C.B. Thayer “who maintained an office above the
store and habitually kept
his supply of narcotic
drugs in the safe.”
On two previous occasions thieves broke into the
drug store but the amounts
stolen were small.
Police received reports of
three additional burglaries
during that weekend with
varying amounts of money
stolen.
The first one happened
at a service station belonging to F.M. Aldridge
on east California Street
“which lost about $78 in
cash when burglars broke
a window on the west side
of the building and entered the room.”
In the second robbery
workers at the Supreme
Cleaners found the “glass
in the front door broken
Monday morning and
evidence that the building
had been ransacked.”
Finally, the Coffee Pot
café “was a heavier loser,
with $300 in cash taken
along with a number of
checks.”
It remained unclear if
one thief committed all of
the burglaries or if there
were several criminals at
work during that crimefilled weekend.
