Queen hospitalized with stomach infection
LONDON (AP) - Britain’s
Queen Elizabeth II was hospi-
talized Sunday with an apparent
stomach infection that has ailed
her for days, a rare instance of ill
health sidelining the long-reign-
ing monarch. Elizabeth will
have to cancel a visit to Rome
and other engagements as she
recovers, and outside experts
said she may have to be rehy-
drated intravenously.
Buckingham Palace said the
86-year-old queen had experi-
enced symptoms of gastroen-
teritis and was being examined
at London’s King Edward VII
Hospital — the first time in a
decade that Elizabeth has been
hospitalized.
‘As a precaution, all official
engagements for this week will
regrettably be either postponed
or cancelled,” the palace said in a
statement. Elizabeth’s two-day
trip to Rome had been planned
to start Wednesday. A spokes-
woman said the trip may be
“reinstated” at a later date.
The symptoms of gastroen-
teritis — vomiting and diarrhea
— usually pass after one or two
days, although they can be more
severe in older or otherwise vul-
nerable people. Dehydration is a
common complication.

35 Denton
Most working musicians
aren’t signed to record labels,
and don’t have companies
making financial investments
in artists’ marketing, distribu-
tion or touring. The panels are
aimed at those musicians,
Seman said.
“I’m really excited about the
video panel,” Seman said.
“Internet Created the Video
Star” will be at 1 p.m. Saturday
at UNT on the Square at 109 N.
Elm St. Seman said the panel
will break down music video-
making for different budgets.
‘We have Jason Reimer, who
made the Mind Spiders video
(for the song Wait for Us”) and
Jake Wilganowski, who did the
video for The Angelus
(“Crimson Shadow”),” Seaman
said. “And then we have Chris
Avant, who did the ‘Texas’ video.
And then there’s my wife (Jenny
Seman), who films all of our
videos. We’ve got panelists who
have made videos with really
high quality production to the
lower-budget end. And all of
them made good music videos.”
Kyle LaValley, creative direc-
tor of 35 Denton, said per-
former Lars Larsen will carry
video through the festival,
which features such top acts as
Solange Knowles, Sleep and
Camera Obscura as well as
other many local, regional and
national bands.
“He [Larsen] does a lot of
live, visual performances, and
he’s going to be doing some live
video performance during the
festival,” she said. “We look at
his work with us as a real unify-
ing presence between the day
programming and the music
festival.”
The panels have always been
well attended, LaValley said.
“We’re really pushing the
daytime programming,” she
said. “Those exchanges are
important. People dedicate a
lot of time to those, and they
need to happen during the day,
when people can make time for
them and not have to choose
between a show and a panel
they could really get something
out of. We think the daytime
programming is a really crucial
part of this whole event.”
Seman said the educator in
him makes him feel obliged to
take on the day programming
role in a festival that is adding
to Denton’s appeal as a destina-
tion.
“As a citizen of Denton and
an educator, it’s in my nature to
really want to give back as
much as possible. When I was
these kids’ age, I didn’t have
that kind of guidance,” Seman
said. “I feel like I have to do
this. Ninety nine percent of us
are volunteering (time and
expertise to the festival). We’re
not doing this for our health.
We want to push this forward.
We want to make the city more
able to be that place where cre-
ative people want to be.”

Elaine Boyd Truitt
Elaine Boyd Truitt died March 1,2013
surrounded by members of her loving family.
Elaine was born on December 30, 1920, the
youngest of the children of George Taylor
and Lela Boyd.
Elaine was athletic as a child and
excelled in softball and basketball through her
years in high school. She even participated in
inter-scholastic tournaments at what was then North Texas
State Teachers College, which was a special
accomplishment for a young girl in those days.
As a young freshman at North Texas State, Elaine was
swept off her feet by Price Truitt and they ran away to
Oklahoma and married onJune 2, 1939. Elaine returned to
continue her studies at North Texas State and received her
degree from there.
In 1945, Price joined the chemistry department at North
Texas State Teachers College while he and Elaine settled
down to spend the rest of their lives in the North Texas area.
Elaine and Price operated a chicken farm just west of Denton
from 1947 through 1955 while Price continued to develop an
honored position in the College’s chemistry department.
Elaine and Price shared their love of the active life and
took their family on camping trips when he had the summer
off from teaching. For more than 45 years, they had many
outdoor adventures......doing everything from vacationing out
of the trunk of the car to enjoying the comparative luxuries of
a self-contained recreational vehicle while traveling, camping
and fishing through the Rockies. From 1963 to 1968, they
owned and operated a store three months of year called “Top
of The World”, located near the northeast gate of Yellowstone
Park.
Elaine was an active servant to her community both as
a volunteer Pink Lady for many years at Flow Hospital and as
an enthusiastic Girl Scout leader for her daughters’ troops.
The past few years, Elaine has shown her creative side
by becoming an accomplished quilter. In the early 70’s, she
helped to found the Denton Quilt Guild. She has continued
to be a regular contributor and has shown many pieces of her
beautiful work at local quilting exhibitions.
After 69 years of marriage, Price preceded Elaine in
death in 2008. She is survived by two daughters, Linda
Truitt Creagh of Denton (partner Scott Lent), and Sharon Gail
Truitt (husband Jack Truitt) of Forestburg; four
grand-children; Laura Creagh (partner Katherine Brown) of
Ann Arbor, Michigan; Shelley Cross Anthony (Husband Dean
Anthony) of Denton; Jack C. Truitt (wife Cindy Truitt) of Oak
Point and Catherine Truitt Castle (husband Dan Castle)of
Moscow, Idaho. She is also survived by eight great
grand-children; Lauren Cross of Austin, Creagh Cross of
Dallas and Truitt Cross (wife Shelby Cross) of Lubbock, as
well as Slade, Leifur, Wynd, Milena, Canyon, Ceri and Saxon
Castle of Moscow, Idaho. Finally, she was great-great
grandmother of Kenadee and Covin Cross.
In lieu of flowers, the family asks that contributions be
made to UNT via The Price and Elaine B. Truitt Endowment
Fund, UNT Division of Advancement, 1155 Union Circle
#311250, Denton, TX 76203.
A remembrance gathering will be held for friends and
family at the DeBerry Funeral Directors, Monday, March 4,
