Gas Leaks Near Ph School

Atmos Energy started looking for gas leaks after an explosion killed a 12-year-old girl in Northwest Dallas earlier this year, putting residents all over Dallas on edge. According to data analyzed by Dallas Morning News, there has been a concentration of gas leaks in the Preston Hollow area. The first half of 2018 had 40 gas leaks—more than the past two years combined. Dallas News’ reports found a cluster of leaks near Preston Hollow Elementary School. The problem comes from old pipes that have failed to be replaced. Atmos Energy states by 2021 these older pipes will no longer be in use. They have also pledged to fix 292 miles of pipes by the end of this year. Atmos plans to fund this through an increase in customers’ rates as well as a federal tax break.

Texas Tech Athletic Hall of Famer and former football coach Robert Hall has returned to his native Dallas to coach budding quarterbacks. His private coaching business, Raiderone, is “a quarterback training and development place where quarterbacks or future quarterbacks can come to improve and enhance their skills,” according to his Twitter page. He has been coaching privately in Texas for years. When he was featured in Sports Illustrated in 2016, he was doing more than four training sessions a day at $100 an hour and training kids as young as second grade. Hall has come a long way since his days playing at Carter High School. Back in the day, he was the quarterback of the 1988 Texas State Champion team, which inspired the movies “Friday Night Lights” and “Carter High,” and was depicted in ESPN’s “What Carter Lost.” He went on to play quarterback for the Texas Tech Red Raiders — one fan site even named him the third best Red Raider quarterback of all time. He has done pretty well for himself in the training business. Some of his students have gone on to earn Division 1 scholarships and play professional football.
