Bridge over flooding waters

By Wyndi Veigel News Editor

news@princetonherald.com The J.M. Caldwell Sr. POW Camp/Community Park is now shut down after the bridge and road into the park has been washed out.

According to information shared by City Manager Derek Borg at the April 27 city council meeting, the bridge washed out after torrential rains occurred April 23 through April 25.

Part of the problem, Borg said, was the drainage culverts were not large enough. After talking to engineers, either an additional 60-inch culvert is needed or an increased size of 82-inches for the two culverts is

required.

“There are no good materials there,” Borg said.

Eventually, Borg explained, the city will have to take on a major bridge expansion for the park, about $1 million, but currently the conditions are not fully developed to require it.

After discussing the matter at length with city councilmembers, a motion was made to allow Borg to proceed with a bridge reconstruction project.

The cost, he said, will be between $50,000 to $75,000.

“I don’t believe it’s going to be over $50,000,” Borg said.

Borg is expecting the park to be reopened by the city’s July 4 event.

“If we need to spend more

money to get it right then that’s OK,” Mayor Ken Bowers said.

As far as the little league games are concerned, the city is in the process of attempting to work out an agreement with the school district to play on their fields.

The Walmart development was also on the council agenda with an ordinance regarding the participation limit between the city of Princeton and Walmart for the two lanes of South Beauchamp Boulevard.

The ordinance states that if “Wal-Mart causes the construction of certain water, wastewater, roadway, and drainage improvements (collectively, the See POW page 2A

Man meets police ... again, charged twice

By Joe Reavis Staff Writer

news@princetonherald.com A Princeton resident made the acquaintance of police officers twice recently, and neither meeting ended well.

Vuthy Chheng, 33, of 920 Collin Circle wound up with charges filed against him on complaints of public intoxication, criminal mischief and resisting arrest.

The first incident occurred on March 30 when officer Wayne Clark was dispatched to 910 Meadow Trail and found a man, later identified as Chheng, hitting a tree with a piece of 2x4 lumber.

Clark reports that he asked the man to drop the board, which he did, then told him to get on the ground, which he did not and began yelling in his native tongue. When Chheng assumed an aggressive posture he was hit with a taser and was subdued, the of-

ficer reports.

The 33-year-old was taken to Medical Center McKinney then to Collin County Detention Center where he was booked on a public intoxication charge.

Clark was assisted by officers Chance Alexander, Jesus Rodriguez and Colby Owen.

About two weeks later, Princeton Officer Jonathan Fischer was summoned on a report that a man was breaking things inside a residence at 920 Collin Circle, and when he arrived he found a subject later identified as Chheng.

Fischer investigated and found that a door frame and drywall in a bedroom of the residence had been damaged and the father of the 33-yearold wanted to file charges.

Chheng was arrested at the scene, but began to struggle with Fischer and other officers that had responded, See POLICE page 2A

“Public Improvements”) the City will participate in the cost of construction of the two southbound lanes and associated improvements of certain roadway facilities to be known as South Beauchamp Blvd.”

The estimated cost of the public improvements is $1,955,083.

According to information shared at council, Walmart is paying for half of the road, or the north two lanes. Typically, the city would be responsible for the entire road, however, the city was able to work out an agreement with Walmart to build the road along with their project. Walmart’s contractor will be constructing the entire road, however, the city will reimburse Walmart with an estimated not-toexceed amount of $456,391.

The city is allowed to do this because the amount is under

30 percent of the public improvement infrastructure.

Borg also said he was excited because within the next couple of months a coming soon sign will be placed on the property. Domino’s Pizza has also placed a sign in front of their new location on Hwy. 380.

In other business council: • Proclaimed May as Motorcycle Awareness Month • Presented a Proclamation to the Girls Soccer Team in recognition of their season and being state runner ups.

• Presented a certificate of appreciation to Special Events Coordinator Stephanie Bowman for organizing the second-grade tours of the city.

• Discussed Citizen and Employee of the Year award implementation.

• Moved their Monday, May 25 meeting to Tuesday, May 26 due to the Memorial Day holiday.

police reports indicate.

The 33-year-old was handcuffed and placed in the back of a PPD patrol car but managed to unlatch his seat belt, damage the window controls, roll down a window and crawl halfway out of the car, Fischer said.

The suspect was removed

from the Princeton patrol car and placed in a Collin County Sheriff’s Office Unit where he again unlatched the seat belt and started kicking rear window bars, the office noted.

Chheng eventually was transported to CCDC and booked on charges of criminal mischief and resisting arrest.

PHARMACY TOPICS The U.S. Food and Drug Administration has approved Xeljanz (tofacitinib) to treat adults with moderately to severely active rheumatoid arthritis (RA) who have had an inadequate response to, or who are intolerant of, methotrexate. RA is an autoimmune disease, in which the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks healthy tissue leading to inflammation of the joints and surrounding tissues. According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, RA affects and estimated 1.5 million Americans.

About a quarter of people who experience the dangerous blood clots in the legs or lungs known as venous thromboembolisms (VTEs) develop them for no discernable reason, and most will receive a powerful anti-clotting drug

such as warfarin in the months after the clot forms. But what about longer-term care, to ward off a recurrent clot, or events such as heart attack or stroke? A new study published in the New England Journal of Medicine suggests that patients who go on low-dose daily aspirin after they are weaned off more powerful anticoagulants can derive real benefit including a significant lowering of overall cardiovascular risk for such complications as heart attack, stroke, major bleeding or death from any cause.

Children who take drugs to treat attentiondeficit/ hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) are not at increased risk for serious heart problems, according to new review published recently in the British Medical Journal.

On January 30, 1923, a son was born to Minnie and Joseph Well Godwin. He was named Marion Francis Godwin, one of thirteen brothers and sisters.

Our dad was one of the greatest generation, having served in the U.S. Navy during WWII. Dad was a metal smith 1st Class P.O. His duty was on the Pacific island of Siapan.

Our family moved to Richland Washington in 1953, as he took a job at the Hanford nuclear project as a steam fitter, which he retired from. Marion was an avid fisherman and spent as much time as possible on the Columbia river fishing for stealhead trout. Dad enjoyed tying fly’s and catching fish with his own creations.

Dad had many interests including playing the violin. He wasn’t content to just play, he began to repair broken violins for people which led to hand crafting many violins from scratch. He never sold one of his violins, they were given to family members. He loved going to yard sales and buying broken violins, which he repaired and sold.

Above all things, our dad was a Christian and loved the LORD. He was a deacon of our church family. Dad showered his family with many gifts, but the greatest of all was teaching

the pathway JESUS paved for salvation. Dad loved singing gospel songs and putting his family first.

Dad is proceeded in death by his parents, Minnie and Joseph; brothers, Albert, Jack, Virgil, James, and Olin; sisters, Emma, Effie, Ruby, Margie; two infant sisters; two children, Randall Lee and Timothy Paul Godwin; and two grandsons, Michael Alan Godwin and Eric Gale Lorance.

Weather-related joint pain treatments Treating weather-related joint pain Early spring is often marked by wind and rain that precedes the more welcoming warmth synonymous with late spring and summer.

Rainy, damp conditions may be great for homeowners looking to revitalize their lawns and gardens, but such conditions can wreak havoc on achy joints, especially for those who experience arthritis. Although there is no concrete proof to link aching joints and muscles with damp weather, rheumatologists are often asked why achy joints and muscles tend to ache that much more in damp weather.

Dropping barometric pressure, which occurs when rain is on the horizon, may cause tissues to swell. Swelling tissues in already inflamed joints can add to pain, especially if these tissues push into nerves and muscles in the area. According to a survey published in the journal Pain, two-thirds of people living with chronic joint pain believe there is a link between their pain and weather changes. Changes in humidity and temperature also may play a role, affecting pressure all over the body.

Joint pain may not be the only effect, as some people get

headaches as well.

While spring may be a painful time of year for sufferers of joint pain, there are steps such men and women can take to alleviate some of those aches. When rainy or cooler temperatures loom, try these ideas.

• See your doctor. If your pain is growing more severe, consult with your doctor, who may be able to develop a plan that helps you deal with the changing seasons more comfortably. Doctors may suggest chiropractic manipulation, or physical therapy or prescribe pain medications.

• Keep the body warm.

Cold limbs and joints may be more prone to stiffness and pain. Dress in layers and use heating pads to combat chilly temperatures.

• Exercise painful joints.

Rely on low-impact exercises, such as walking or swimming, to loosen up stiffness in the body. Loosening up and stretching before any intense workouts is recommended.

Rainy weather may be in the forecast, and that can mean increased pain for those with achy joints. Working with a medical professional can help take the “ouch” out of seasonal changes.

Speculation swirls regarding Community ISD

By Wyndi Veigel News Editor

news@csmediatexas.com Amid speculation, conversation and media coverage, Community ISD is in the spotlight regarding Dr. Cole McClendon’s suspension.

Citizens turned out for a special called CISD School Board meeting March 8 where the board members, investigator Nan Hundere and the school district’s legal counsel met behind closed doors for more than 5 hours for the closed session.

Hundere is of Alhadeff & Forbes Mediation Services located in Seattle, Wash.

Topics for that closed session included “to deliberate

the appointment, employment, evaluation, reassignment, duties, discipline, or dismissal of a public officer or employee, including, but not limited to, the Superintendent,” “deliberations regarding District investigation of a personnel matter,” and “consultation with District’s legal counsel regarding legal and procedural issues relating to a District investigation, regarding to personnel matters, including but not limited to those involving the Superintendent, and regarding possible resolution of a complaint by District employee.”

After returning from closed session, the board took no action regarding Superintendent McClendon.

However, the board did take action regarding the portion of the agenda about the resolution of a complaint by a district employee.

“I move that the board authorize district legal counsel to pursue resolution and complaint by employee as discussed in closed session,” Board Secretary Tammy Walker said as she made the motion. The motion was seconded by Board Member Troy Bontrager.

The board discussed the issue of the superintendent again in a special called meeting Monday, April 13, however, there were no action items on the agenda.

The board will meet again for a special called meeting at 6 p.m.

Wednesday, April 15.

The board also took action regarding the employment of professional personnel for the 2015 – ’16 school year, the hiring of a district Bilingual Coach/Coordinator and the approval of a missed school day waiver.

While awaiting the results of the closed session, parents began to discuss a study from statewide education agency Children at Risk giving Community ISD a D rating across the district. This study uses data provided by the Texas Education Agency to evaluate student achievement, campus performance and growth.

According to information released by the district, they are aware of the study and have already taken steps to improve.

Congress and the President need to consult – and not just on Iran

Congress has developed a fondness for open letters when it comes to Iran. First came the warning shot signed by 47 Republican senators that touched off a storm of criticism. Not to be outdone, the House checked in with its own bipartisan and more diplomatically stated letter to the President, warning that its members must be satisfied with any agreement before they’ll vote to reduce sanctions.

What lies behind these moves?

I think Congress feels left out of foreign policy-making.

I have considerable sympathy for this impulse. Over the decades, too much power has drifted to the President when it comes to foreign affairs. The Congress has been deferential, even timid, in allowing this to happen.

Moreover, the administration has not done an especially good job of consulting with Congress. The President is the chief actor in foreign policy, and it’s his obligation to reach out and develop a sustained dialogue with Congress on foreign policy matters. As far as I can tell, he has not done that sufficiently.

Yet much as I want to see Congress speak up on foreign policy, how it does so matters.

The Senate’s letter to Iran was ill-considered and unhelpful. Its

nism, or even requirement, for the President to consult and work with Congress on foreign policy. So Congress feels left out of the action, and in an effort to deal itself back in it behaves clumsily, as the Senate did with the Iran letter.

The way past these bitter battles is meaningful consultation. The President and the Congress need to consult regularly and in depth before problems come to a head. Sustained and respectful consultation would go a long way toward avoiding the acrimonious contention over foreign policy that we’ve seen of late.

Edward S. Corwin, a professor of jurisprudence at Princeton in the first half of the 20th century, once called the Constitution an “invitation to struggle for the privilege of directing American foreign policy” — a line that is far better known than Corwin himself. Over the last half-century, the contest has largely been decided in favor of the President.

Congress’s bid to reopen the question is not, in and of itself, a bad thing. But if the President and the Congress want to avoid these flare-ups and strengthen the nation’s foreign policy, they should exercise in-depth, sustained consultation.

House, Senate state budget conferees roll up sleeves W

ith barely more than a month left in the regular session of the Texas Legislature, it’s time for the House and Senate to do whatever can be done to reach an allpoints agreement on House Bill 1, the state budget for fiscal years 2016 and 2017.

A widely reported sticky area in the estimated $211 billion budget is over which taxes to cut and how much to cut. House and Senate conferees will meet this week. From both ends of the Capitol, the budget has a ways-and-means inertia to it, with House leaders pushing for cuts in the state sales tax rate and the state franchise tax. Senate leaders favor more emphasis on cutting homeowners’ property tax rates, a job traditionally in line with the normal functions of local governmental bodies.

School districts, for example, get most of their revenue from local property taxes, and under the Senate plan, the state would have to make up for revenue lost to property tax cuts. The House plan, touted to provide some $5 billion in tax relief through other means, includes the first-ever reduction in state sales tax, with a 0.30-cent reduction in rate from the current 6.25 percent to 5.95 percent. Wherever such matters settle, the state’s checkbook must balance. Tax cuts will have to be “paid for” by corresponding cuts to budget items, such as health care, education, transportation and public safety.

cameras by police officers.

The cameras, to be worn by officers to record interactions between them and members of the public, may help “restore credibility and trust in our law enforcement agencies,” West said.

While West’s bill does not mandate that police departments adopt the use of body cameras, it does create a grant program at the Office of the Governor that local law enforcement agencies can apply to help offset the cost of purchasing equipment.

During floor debate, West said that documenting encounters between police officers and citizens reduces complaints against police, incidents of lethal force and lawsuits against law enforcement. “People act different on camera,” he said.

Injection well hearings planned

Southern Methodist University on April 21 announced an SMU-led seismology team has found that “high volumes of wastewater injection combined with brine extraction from natural gas wells is the most likely cause of earthquakes occurring near Azle, Texas, from late 2013 through spring 2014.”

On April 24, the oil and gas industry-regulating Texas Railroad Commission directed the agency’s hearings division to initiate proceedings requiring the operators of two disposal wells in the area of Azle, 17 miles northwest of Fort Worth, to “show cause” why the injection permits for the wells should not be cancelled and the wells ordered shut-in, due to an alleged connection raised by new seismic research between ongoing operation of the wells and seismic activity in the vicinity.

Dovie’s Closet embraces new space with ladies night

By Wyndi Veigel News Editor

news@princetonherald.com Dovie’s Closet in Princeton is a hidden treasure that many in the community may not be aware of.

Opening in March 2014, the business was originally located on Hwy. 380 but earlier this year relocated to downtown Princeton, located at 322 Main Street.

The business specializes in women’s boutique clothing from size small to 3x, and also carries jewelry, an all natural Texas made goat milk lotion/ skin care line, shoes, candles, and gifts.

Family owned and operated, Princeton residents will often find owner Paulette Lafon, her daughters Misty Lafon and Kelly Wolfe, as well as her grand daughter Jordan Wolfe inside the store, running things.

“We moved downtown Princeton from our original highway 380 location around Valentine’s Day. We needed more space and this building offered exactly that. It’s a wonderful location, allows folks to just walk-in and browse, our previous location was not suitable for walk-in customers, so that has helped expand our business, and we are also now

‘It’s been so nice during this venture meeting local women and truly feeling like they’ve become our friends.’

Jordan Wolfe, of Dovie’s Closet able to host monthly ladies night out events,” Jordan said.

“We have done three so far.

They are super fun, allow ladies in the community to mingle, eat, and do the activity of the night. We have been partnering with My Arty Party of Frisco for our painting events and it has been wonderful.

There will be one coming up in May, so watch out on Facebook for full details!”

The business, according to Jordan, joined the chamber to help really build a sense of community and support the town of Princeton.

“As long-time residents of the community we want nothing more than to see Princeton blossom and felt this was a great way to do that,” she said.

Customers of the store will be pleased to find a very personal and home-like shopping experience with friendly, southern women that treat each and every shopper like they have known them for years.

“It’s been so nice during this

For future business owners, Lafon gives one piece of advice to future business owners: Work hard and don’t give up!

“We have put our all into this business for over a year now and it is doing awesome!

We hope to one day be even bigger, offer more variety

of items, etc. but we also are managing ourselves well and not overdoing it. We want to be around Princeton for the long haul and are trying to put in the work and time to make that possible. We just appreciate all that the community has done and hope to continue to grow and dig our roots a little deeper in the community of Princeton.”

Dovie’s Closet is open 10

a.m. to 6 p.m. Tuesdays and Wednesdays, 10 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Thursdays, 10 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Fridays and 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Saturdays.

They are closed Sunday and Monday.

Most information about the business can be found on their Facebook page at www. facebook.com/doviescloset, including scheduled ladies night events.

Those services include disaster relief funds, assistance with prescription medicine needs and providing fuel so that a client can drive to a job interview.

“We provide financial counseling to get them off the program as quick as we can,” Boys said. “We serve 85 families and a lot of them are senior citizens.”

To stock the shelves, the pantry benefits from food drives conducted by Princeton ISD students, the Boy Scouts and individuals.

Fahrenthold announced that the chamber community yard sale is scheduled for Saturday, May 30, in the chamber’s front parking lot and signed up volunteers to man the chamber booth at the Princeton Onion Festival this Saturday.

Winner of the door prize provided by Christi’s Rustic and Western Collection was Melissa Tijerina.

Chamber learns about food pantry at monthly meeting

By Joe Reavis Staff Writer

news@princetonherald.com At the April luncheon last week, Princeton Area Chamber of Commerce members learned about the work of Christ Cares for Princeton, a food pantry serving the community.

The luncheon was held at noon April 8 at Las Rocas Mexican Cocina. The next meeting is scheduled for noon Wednesday, May 13, at Mama Rosa’s Mexican Kitchen.

Chamber president Debbie Fahrenthold called the meeting to order and those attending introduced themselves.

New members announced were Harvest Dental, Lexington Medical Lodge, Community MED Urgent Care and Tyner Associates, Inc. Christ Cares serves residents within the Princeton Independent School District boundar-

ies, about 64 square miles, and has been in operation for 20 years, Bruce Boys, executive director, reported.

“That is a huge area for a small pantry to serve,” he noted.

The food pantry operates in partnership with North Texas Food Bank which provides cost sharing for food supplies and allows the Princeton organization to do more to help.

Christ Cares distributes food to qualifying applicants in the evening on the second Tuesday of the month and provides fresh produce in the evening of the first and third Tuesdays. Food items may also be picked up by appointment.

Only food is available from the pantry, located at Faith Baptist Church, but the organization also works in many other areas to help those who are experiencing hard times or have suffered a recent calamity.

Collin County resident stranded by Nepal avalanche

By Wyndi Veigel News Editor

news@princetonherald.com It’s obvious to anyone who even scrolls across Collin County resident Danielle Banks’ Facebook page that she is a giving and selfless person.

Traveling to Nepal in March, the 22-year-old began to intern at Samrakshak Samuha Nepal (SASANE) which is an anti-trafficking organization in March.

Her time in Nepal turned tragic over the weekend as a 7.8 magnitude earthquake struck and she was caught stranded on Mt. Everest in the avalanche that was caused by the quake. She started her trek on the mountain eight days ago.

Danielle was airlifted from Mt. Everest at about 4 a.m. Monday,

April 27, according to news reports. But for more than 24 hours, her mom Sharon didn’t know if she was ok.

Keeping in communication via text throughout her journey, the last text she received was “Oh my god, I’ve just witnessed an avalanche,” according to published news reports.

The avalanche took out the Everest Base Camp where at least 18 were killed and more were injured, according to news reports.

Danielle recently graduated from Texas A&M University and studied psychology.

As of press time, more than 3,700 have died as a result of the earthquake, which was the country’s worst quake in 80 years. The death toll is expected to rise and many aftershocks have been felt including at least one that regis-

tered at a 6.7 magnitude.

For those looking for ways to help the Nepal earthquake victims many organizations have set up relief funds. They are listed below.

Unicef UNICEF is preparing two cargo flights with a combined 120 tons of humanitarian supplies including blankets, tents, medical and hospital supplies. UNICEF is the U.N. children’s organization.

Lady Panthers secure top spot in 12-4A

By David Jenkins Staff Writer

sports@princetonherald.com The Lady Panthers will enter the Class 4A Region II playoffs as the top seed for a third straight season.

“We will be challenged more than we have been in the past month,” head coach Jason Milligan said. “We have warm up games (against Dodd City and Van Alstyne) set up to prepare us for better pitching

as we will see that after round one of the playoffs.”

Later this week in the bidistrict round, they will face Dallas Carter, which is fourth place seed out of District 114A. (Full details will be posted on The Princeton Herald’s Facebook and Twitter pages once finalized.)

One week ago, the Lady Panthers closed out an undefeated 12-4A season with a pair of wins over Anna 9-0 and

Melissa 17-4.

“Our game with Anna was actually closer than it ultimately ended up being,” Milligan said. “We were tied 1-1 in the sixth inning before we opened it up to win. I felt we were trying to do too much up to that point, but once we focused and made adjustments we were good.”

He added about Melissa,” We came out as I expected and hit the ball well. We did commit six errors which we will

need to clean up going into the postseason.”

In the first of the two games, seniors Alexis Morton and Lyndze Curry were honored for their time on varsity.

Princeton ended up 10-0 and captured their first straight title, after winning 12-3A in 2013 and 2014.

“I’m proud of my team for coming together to go undefeated again this year,” Milligan said. “With the weather causing problems with the

schedule and things changing day to day, they buckled down and took care of business.”

Also making the postseason cut were Bonham 8-2, Melissa 6-4 and Community 4-6.

In the bottom two were Quinlan Ford 2-8 and Anna 0-10.

In preparation for the playoffs, the Lady Panthers (14-7 overall, as of April 27) played host April 28 to Van Alstyne in a warmup contest played at Princeton.
