Major General Mary Saunders King to Speak at Power of the Purse Around COOKE COUNTY – Key Note Speaker for this year’s Cooke County United Way Power of Purse event to be held on Thursday, August 11th at the Gainesville Civic Center is Retired Major General Mary L. Saunders, USAF. Major General Mary Saunders is the current Executive Director of the Leadership Institute at Texas Woman’s University. The program was established to prepare students to succeed in an increasingly global community. She was the Vice Director for the Defense Logistics Agency, Ft. Belvoir VA, with a workforce of over 22,000 military and civilian personnel located both overseas and in 48 states in the United States. The organization contracted for food, fuel, uniforms, medical supplies, and 95% of spare parts for all military services including airplanes, ships, tanks, and missile systems. The contracting result was over $28 billion in sales. Two years earlier, she served in Washington D.C. at the Pentagon where she was the second female African American in the Air Force selected to the rank of general, and as the first female general officer selected as the Director of Transportation for the Air Force. In this capacity she provided guidance for 32,000 active duty and civilian personnel and was responsible for a fleet of 115,000 vehicles valued at $3.8 billion. Maj. Gen. Saunders is a native Texan, born in Nacogdoches and educated in Houston. She earned her Bachelor of Science degree in Social Work from Texas Woman’s University in Denton, Texas and her Master of Arts in Guidance and Counseling from Rider University in Lawrenceville, New Jersey. Maj. General Saunders attended the Air War College at Maxwell Air Force Base in Alabama. She completed the National Security Leadership Course at John Hopkins University in Baltimore, Maryland and the Leadership Development Program at the Center for Creative Leadership in Greensboro, North Carolina. Maj. Gen. Saunders is a member of the following professional associations: the American Association of University Women, the Air Force Association, and the Air Force Logistics Officer Association. General Saunders was named a Distinguished Alumni of Texas Woman’s University, and currently serves on the Advisory Board for the Dallas Women’s Foundation. In 2012, Maj. Gen. Saunders was inducted into the Texas Women’s Hall of Fame. On April 30, 2015, Maj. Gen. Saunders was one of six recipients of the Maura Women Helping Women award from the Dallas Women’s Foundation. The award honors women who have improved the lives of women and girls in North Texas. In addition, Major General Saunders accepted an appointment as an Executive Board member of the Circle Ten Council of the Boy Scouts of America. Two leadership awards have been named in Maj. Gen.

(The Weekly News Photos) are presented annually. The “Excellence in Leadership Award Scholarship” is presented to a Federal Civil Servant Employee, and the “Air Force Logistics Officers Association Chapter Distinguished Service Award.” “Cooke County United Way is honored to present Major General Mary L. Saunders as our keynote speaker. This announcement has already generated excitement and a great deal of anticipation about this year’s event. She is an inspiring speaker which fits our theme of ‘enCOURAGE’perfectly”, notes Kristi Rigsby Power of the Purse committee member. United Way presented its first Power of the Purse program as a luncheon in September of 2012 with guest speaker Adrienne Bankert, who at the time, was the CBS Channel 11 co-anchor of the DFW Morning Show and who is now with ABC in Los Angeles. Due to overwhelming attendance, the event had to be changed to a dinner and a larger venue. It has grown over the last four years into a sell-out event. Power of the Purse provides a collaborative forum for women of all ages who want to significantly improve the quality of life in Cooke County through leadership giving, advocacy and volunteering. It’s about joining with likeminded women to be a strong voice and make a difference in meeting needs in the community. Susan Hughes, Power of the Purse 2016 Chair comments “It is an inspiring event created to ‘enCOURAGE’ women to unite to make a difference! The Cooke County United Way Board of Directors, upon recommendation of the event planning committee, as approved the designation of all event proceeds to support Education initiatives. With years of experience, our United Way knows how to host an amazing dinner accessorized with all things ladies love – fabulous food, delectable dessert, a sensational speaker … and of course, purses!” Ms. Hughes continues “we are currently confirming our table designers and event sponsors so anyone interested should contact the Cooke County United Way offices as soon as possible. The tickets are now on sale and I would like to emphasize that we have sold out for the past two years, so get your tickets now!” Contact Cooke County United Way at 940-6651793. Gainesville Police Host ALERRT Training at GHS GAINESVILLE - The Gainesville Police Department, in conjunction with the Gainesville Independent School District, is hosting an Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training (ALERRT) Level I Train-the-Trainer Course that is scheduled to begin Monday, July 18, 2016 at the Gainesville High School. Law enforcement personnel from around North Texas will be attending the course. In addition to the Train-the Trainer course, we will also be conducting two ALERRT Level I courses the following week. This training is being provided at no cost to the participants due to a Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA) grant. The Advanced Law Enforcement Rapid Response Training Center at Texas State University ALERRT provides the best, research-based active shooter training in the nation. From the 1966 Tower shooting at the University of Texas, to the coordinated terrorist attacks in Mumbai, India in 2008, to the Sandy Hook school shootings in 2012, and the Paris tragedies in 2015, the most important lesson learned is to be prepared. While we hope that such active shooter events will never happen in our backyards, the ALERRT staff at Texas State has developed a new, research based standard in active shooter response. Law enforcement professionals across the nation are carrying this standard forward. It is important to note that this is not SWAT training, but more importantly, tactical training skills for first responding officers to effectively stop active shooter events. The goal of first responder active shooter training, specifically the ALERRT training model, is not to make every officer a SWAT officer but to provide these first responders with proven tactics to effectively resolve these violent episodes. The training includes basic active shooter response, breaching techniques, law enforcement medical training, plain clothes and off-duty response, low light training, and working/integrating with multiple law enforcement agencies, as well as with fire and EMS responders. Currently, nine courses make up the ALERRT catalog: Basic Active Shooter Response Level I (“Stop the Killing”); Train the Trainer -Level I; Medical Response for Law Enforcement Level II (“Stop the Dying”); First Responder Breaching; Low Light; Exterior Response to Active Shooter Events (ERASE); Plain Clothes Response to Violent Encounters (PCRVE); Civilian Response to Active Shooter Events (CRASE) Train the Trainer Course, and Active Threat Integrated Response Course (ATIRC). The ALERRT Center is the only national training program whose primary mission is responding to the active shooter threat. While much of the training is delivered on-site in communities around the country, ALERRT also has a multimillion-dollar training facility in San Marcos for advanced active shooter response training. Since 2002, The ALERRT Center at Texas State University has delivered vital active shooter response training to more than 85,000 law enforcement officers across the nation, through over $44 million in federal and state funding. Due to a dramatic increase in funding, ALERRT anticipates delivering training to an additional 30,000 police officers in the next 18 months.

The Dog depot is sponsored and promoted by The Gainesville Canine Training Club which focuses on obedience training with a special focus on Therapy dog training. Committee Chairman Frank Mahnich said” The process of working with the City has been extraordinary. Their support throughout the 18 months since the ideas conception has been a key factor in its success. The committee has worked day and night to make this project a success.” Mahnich continued, “This park has been built without any city funding. The community support has been overwhelming with over one hundred donors, both individuals and businesses. The result is a beautiful park that will serve the residents and visitors alike for a long time to come. We invite everyone to join us at the dedication on Thursday.” The park includes benches, “Doggy Doo” stations, animal watering stations and a pavilion.

Pecan • Gainesville, TX Office: 940.665.2320 The Weekly News July 20, 2016 Opinions Mark Shields A Steppingstone to Oblivion By Mark Shields The first very first “presidential” test in public for every nominee for the White House is the selection of a vice presidential running mate. Right after the 1968 Miami Beach convention where he had won the Republican nomination, Richard M. Nixon explained why he chose his running mate: “There is a mysticism about men. There is a quiet confidence. You look a man in the eye and you know he’s got it -- brains. This guy has got it. If he doesn’t, Nixon has made a bum choice.” Thus did Nixon explain his unfortunate choice of the man who would become the only U.S. vice president in history to be forced, in order to escape certain criminal conviction and incarceration, to resign the office -- Spiro T. Agnew. In spite of the immediate celebrity, the media attention and the Secret Service protection it brings, the honor of a vice presidential nomination often turns out to be a steppingstone to political oblivion. Think about recent VP candidates who, encouraged by the inflated poll numbers attributable in part to their elevated name recognition, tried to run in the next cycle for the White House and failed even to compete for their party’s nomination -- Democrats John Edwards in 2008 and Joe Lieberman in 2004. Earlier, the 1968 Democratic VP nominee, Sen. Edmund Muskie, had been the front-runner for the 1972 nomination and lost. The 1972 VP candidate, former U.S. Ambassador to France Sargent Shriver, ran unsuccessfully for the 1976 Democratic presidential nomination. Republican Sen. Bob Dole, the losing 1976 VP nominee, failed badly in his bid for the 1980 GOP nomination. (Although, Dole, who humorously described the VP job as “indoor work with no heavy lifting,” after another failed run for the Republican nomination in 1988, did eventually capture his party’s nod in 1996, some 20 years after his VP run.) In fact, only one American in history has ever won the presidency after having lost the race for vice president, Franklin D. Roosevelt. In 1920, the Democratic ticket of Ohio Gov. James M. Cox and the assistant secretary of the Navy, FDR, lost to the Republican team of Sen. Warren G. Harding of Ohio and Massachusetts Gov. Calvin Coolidge by the widest differential in any presidential election since 1820, 26.2 percent. Twelve years later, after two terms as New York governor, FDR was elected president. Still, it can be really exciting to be the vice presidential nominee. In 1984, when President Ronald Reagan won re-election in a 49-state landslide over Democrat Walter Mondale (a former vice president), Richard Wirthlin, Reagan’s trusted pollster, told me that their campaign, which polled nightly, showed Reagan behind only one time all year. That was when Mondale made history and got a boost by making Rep. Geraldine Ferraro the first woman on a major-party presidential ticket. Mostly forgotten today is that after the 2008 Republican convention in St. Paul, Minnesota, where he selected, to mostly positive reviews, Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin as his running mate, Republican Sen. John McCain actually took the national lead over the Democratic ticket of Barack Obama and Joe Biden in polls by Gallup and CBS News. But by Election Day, 67 percent of voters believed that Biden possessed “the personality and leadership qualities a president needs,” whereas 63 percent of voters judged that Palin did not. Richard Nixon knew firsthand from being one of only two Americans (along with FDR) to be nominated five times for national office that “the vice president (in a national campaign) can’t help you; he can only hurt you.” More often than not, running for VP remains a steppingstone to political oblivion.

Buchanan “Her mind is shot.” That was the crisp diag- nosis of Donald Trump on hearing the opinion of Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg on the possibility he might become president. It all began with an interview last week when the justice was asked for her thoughts on a Trump presidency. Ginsburg went on a tear. “I can’t imagine what this place (the Supreme Court) would be -- I can’t imagine what the country would be -- with Donald Trump as our president. For the country, it could be four years. Letter to the Editor... Editor’s note – Letters to the Editor reflect only the opinion of the author and not that of The Weekly News of Cooke County. Facts contained in Letters to the Editor are claims of the author only. The (...) denotes areas that have been edited. To the Editor, North Texas Medical Center: The CEO has all but closed your local hospital. Where is the outrage, the disgust, the questions of the board? Second CEO they have paid off. He got rid of all locals, brought in outsiders and the board went along. Lost how much this year alone, 5 and a half million dollars of your money? GMH was a loved local hospital with Cooke county employees who took care of you!! More serious were sent to larger facilities but the came back to GMH. Now they don’t want to bother with actually having patients just ship them out!! Local physicians gave up and send their patients to specialist in other cities. So sorry for Cooke County that you let the NTMC board do this to your hospital which had such potential. Beautiful building you paid for there. Stella Manning Gainesville For the court, it could be -- I don’t even want to contemplate that.” Yet she had contemplated the horror of it all, as she quoted her late husband as saying of such a catastrophe, “It’s time for us to move to New Zealand.” This week, Ginsburg doubled down. “Trump is a faker,” she vented in chambers on Monday, “He has no consistency about him. He says whatever comes into his head. ... He really has an ego. ... How has he gotten away with not turning over his tax returns? The press seems to be very gentle with him on that.” Sounding like Democratic Party Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz, Ginsburg attacked the Senate for not voting on Judge Merrick Garland to fill the seat of the late Justice Antonin Scalia. “That’s their job. There’s nothing in the Constitution that says the president stops being president in his last year.” True, your honor, but there is also nothing in the Constitution that says the Senate must vote expeditiously, or at all. Ginsburg hailed Justice Anthony Kennedy as “the great hero of this term” for his votes upholding abortion rights and affirmative action. “Think what would have happened had Justice Scalia remained with us,” she added, which comes close to saying the death of the great jurist was not entirely unwelcome to the leading liberal on the court. “I’d love to see Citizens United overruled,” Gins- burg volunteered, which gives us a pretty good idea how she will vote when that question comes before the court again. As the Wall Street Journal notes, under Section 28 US Code 455, “(a)ny justice, judge or magistrate judge of the United States must disqualify himself in any proceeding in which his impartiality might reasonably be questioned.” Since “himself ” and “his” refer to men, perhaps Ginsburg does not think the rules apply to her. The federal code of judicial conduct for U.S. judges, says the Chicago Tribune, states that a “judge should not ... publicly endorse a candidate for public office.” But does not Ginsburg’s relentless trashing of Trump constitute a political attack on him, to help his opponent Hillary Clinton? Ginsburg “should resign from the Court before she does the reputation of the judiciary more harm,” says the Journal. There is a precedent. Justice Abe Fortas resigned in 1969 in a scandal when his ties to a convicted swindler became known. But a dissent here. Why should Ginsburg resign? Did anyone doubt she held these views? Did she hide her radical liberalism from the Senate that confirmed her 96-3 in 1993, with only three Republicans dissenting, led by the venerable Jesse Helms? Ginsburg was an ACLU lawyer and feminist-activist when she was named to the appellate court by Jimmy Carter. Her views were no secret to anyone when the Current U.S. Debt $19,393,206,727,528.73 Debt watch The estimated population of the United States is 323,376,067 so each citizen’s share of this debt is $59,971.06. The National Debt has continued to increase an average of $2.40 billion per day since September 30, 2012!* U.S. Debt, July 12, 2004 $7,264,732,981,139.98 * Information obtained from the U.S. Department of the Treasury. Population figures from the U.S. Bureau of the Census’ Population Clock. Figures as of July 4, 2016. Senate confirmed her. Let us not pretend we did not know. Thus, why should she step down for airing political and ideological views everyone knew she held? Liberal angst is understandable. Ginsburg is giving away the game. How can liberals credibly uphold the pretense that Supreme Court decisions, where the left is the majority, represent judgments based on the Constitution, when Ginsburg, the leading leftist, has revealed herself to be a rabid partisan who can’t wait to use her judicial power to impose her ideology upon the United States? Ginsburg detests Trump. She wants to kill super PACs. She thinks discrimination against white males is fine if it advances diversity. She thinks Republican Senators are blockheads who do not know their duties. She thinks the death penalty is barbaric, and that abortion on demand and same-sex marriage are progressive. She is waiting for a case to come before her so she can restrict gun rights. In a democratic republic, she has a right to hold and air these views. But a democratic republic no longer exists when justices of the mindset of Ginsburg, who have never been elected, but serve for life, can impose these views, anti-democratically, upon the country. Since the Earl Warren era, the Supreme Court has usurped the legislative power and imposed social policies, and Congress, which has the power under Article III to shackle the Ruth Bader Ginsburgs and restrict the court’s jurisdiction, has lacked the courage to do so. This is the problem, not Ginsburg. She does what leftist ideologues do. The problem is elsewhere. Pogo said it best, “We have met the enemy -- and he is us.” Copyright 2016 Creators.

Family Camp at Camp Dragonfly is a day camp, led by professional clinicians and trained staff, for families with children of all ages who have suffered the loss of a loved one. All activities at Family Camp are designed to help families heal and live successfully after loss. Campers will have the opportunity to attend a separate group session for adults and children with those 14 years old and older, going to the adult session and children 6 to 13 attending the children’s session. Childcare will be provided for children up to 5years old. “Campers learn ways to process feelings and treasure memories. Camp is not about forgetting, it is about healing. We use exercises to help families learn to process grief and then fun activities to practice the coping skills they are learning,” said Jerryd Wallace, Bereavement Coordinator and Camp Director. Children dealing with grief often feel isolated and that no one understands. Families may struggle to support each other through the grieving process. One of the goals of Family Camp is to give the campers a chance to be with others who can relate to their feelings of grief and sadness while equipping families with new resources for coping with grief. “My child very much enjoyed camp, she has always felt different from other children and camp seemed to make her feel like she belonged,” said a parent whose daugh- ter attended. “The grief counselor I talked to was awesome! She was very honest and straightforward with me. She even asked how I was handling everything.” Family members will gain insight as to how children grieve. “Our goal is to help the parents understand that a child experiences grief differently and help parents recognize and help cope with those behaviors,” says Wallace. Family Camp at Camp Dragonfly is scheduled for August 6 from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at All Saints Camp on Lake Texoma, 418 Stanton Way, in Pottsboro, Texas. Snacks, lunch and bottled water will be provided. If you’d like more information or to register, please contact Jerryd Wallace by calling 903-868-9315. Registration is required by July 29. City’s Emergency Managers Receive Highest Level FEMA Professional Certification GAINESVILLE – Emergency Managers for the City of Gainesville are responsible for preparing the city for emergencies and disasters. Wally Cox, Emergency Management Coordinator, and Tamara Sieger, Emergency Management Officer, recently earned Advanced Professional Certification, the highest level of emergency management professional certification through FEMA. For years, FEMA’s certificate has been used to train professionals in emergency management, emphasizing advanced skills in disaster management and including the four phases of emergency management: disaster mitigation, preparedness, response and recovery. “In emergency management and response, planning and training is key. The city has experienced many federally declared and non-declared disasters. We have received critical on the job training along with classroom training, which makes our city even more prepared”, said Tamara Sieger, Emergency Management Officer. “The city has conducted training exercises in a wide variety of potential disaster scenarios that could affect the city. Many of the exercises have included participation by Gainesville Independent School District, North Texas Medical Center, BurlingtonNorthern Santa Fe Railway and other government and business entities in the city. These are in addition to the actual occurrences of large and small incidents that have required activation of the emergency management function. Emergency Management is ever evolving as new practices and technology change not only the way disasters are handled, but the types of disasters, as well. Emergency management staff plan and train for disasters not from the standpoint of ‘it could happen here’ but ‘it will happen here,’” said Fire Chief/Emergency Management Coordinator Wally Cox. “Having the City’s Emergency Managers receive this level of certification is quite an accomplishment. This demonstrates the professionalism of the staff who have worked and trained in Emergency Management for more than two decades,” said Barry Sullivan, City Manager. The FEMA certification program was implemented in 2001 following the 9/11 Terrorist Attacks.

Pecan • Gainesville, TX Office: 940.665.2320 The Weekly News July 20, 2016 NTMC Operating Rooms Undergo Remodeling GAINESVILLE - The operating rooms at North Texas Medical Center recently underwent a remodel to update all three operating rooms to high-tech integrated technology suites, referred to as iSuites. The emergence of new technologies and an increasing demand for operating room efficiency was the main driver of this remodel. Integrated operating rooms were conceptualized in the late 1960’s but have evolved with the rapid advancement of new technology. The essential idea is that the operating room will have all the necessary equipment needed for a surgeon in an ergonomic environment. Modern integrated operating rooms are built with state-of-the-art technology that aims to maximize efficiency. There are currently just over sixty thousand integrated operating rooms in the U.S., a number that will continue to steadily grow. Integrated operating rooms are typically profit centers for hospitals, which has become the impetus around installing these types of rooms. Today, integrated operating rooms are pre-planned and ergonomically designed, and must consist of a few main components: audio-visual communication equipment with HD monitors, a touch-screen command center, a digital recording device, and the ability to send and receive diagnostic images. Having these facilities will not only reduce surgery time and improve surgery success rates, but will also attract medical practitioners to our facility and drive growth. “Providing state-of-theart equipment to our surgeons allows for exceptional patient care to be delivered in an environment that facilitates efficient utilization of space”, says Michelle Leverette, Director of Surgical Services at NTMC. Further, “the operating room staff has increased efficiency of work due to the equipment upgrades and the operating room staff has voiced excitement after acquiring the experience of working with the new equipment”, adds Leverette. Stryker Corporation along with NTMC’s engineering department did the install on all three operating rooms. Stryker is a Fortune 500 medical technologies firm out of Kalamazoo, Michigan and is one of the world’s leading medical technology companies driven to make healthcare better. The Company offers a diverse array of innovative products and services in Orthopedics, Medical and Surgical, and Neurotechnology and Spine that help improve patient and hospital outcomes. Stryker is active in over 100 countries around the world. NTMC is equipped with many physicians and surgeons and can do a number of procedures locally including: laparoscopic surgery on the gallbladder, appendix, hernias, colon and small intestine, stomach, arthroscopic surgeries, sports injuries, cosmetic surgeries Glasses, Contact Lenses, Low Vision Emergency Eyecare, Cataract & Lid Surgery Se habla español 2020 W.
