Community market eyes new sites
Local venue outgrows
space at county park

After Tuesday’s Denton City Council
meeting that included an hour-long
discussion on the Denton Community
Market, founders Kati Trice and Vicki
Oppenheim stepped out in the cool No-
vember air to check out two sites city of-
ficials presented as possible locations to
relocate the market.
While the market has enjoyed suc-
cess at its location in the Denton County
Historical Park, it is simply outgrowing
the space and needs to be somewhere it
can continue to flourish.
“We’re weighing all the options at
“We're weighing all the options at this point and fig-
uring out what is going to be best for us. ’’
— Kati Trice, a Denton Community Market founder
this point and figuring out what is going
to be best for us,” Trice said.
The market, which started in 2010
in the Denton County Historical Park at
Carroll Boulevard and Sycamore Street,
is an artists and farmers’ market that in-
cludes music, local food, handmade
items such as purses, jewelry and cloth-
ing, and kids activities.
The two locations the city offered
were the lot across the street from City
Hall and a spot at the comer of East
Hickory and Exposition streets, the lat-
ter of which Trice said she was not feel-
ing good about.
“I don’t know it if is big enough. It’s
not on any major road and kind of
tucked back there,” Trice said of the lo-
cation council member Jim Engel-
brecht suggested.
Trice said the market needs to be in a
place with medium to high visibility
and said across the street from City Hall
looked to be the best option.
“I appreciate Councilman Dalton
Gregory’s suggestions of erecting some
sort of shed or some sort of open struc-
ture that could be a covering for market

Area prime for fall colors
By Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe
Staff Writer
pheinkel-wolfe @ dentonrc. com
Fall color in North Texas is capricious
and ephemeral.
Often it’s too warm and too dry.
Sometimes a strong storm sweeps all the
leaves away. Or, a blue norther brings a
hard freeze, leaving everything a lifeless
brown.
But this year could be different, ac-
cording to Don Smith, a retired Univer-
sity of North Texas botanist. The cold
came early and is hanging around.
There’s still plenty of sunshine during
the day to make the magic happen deep
within the leaves.
Photosynthesis slows in the fall,
which makes yellow pigments in leaves
more visible, Smith said.
When nights get cold, the nourish-
ment meant for the rest of the tree stays
trapped in the leaves instead. Those
compounds add to the display, bringing
deeper hues of orange and red to the
golds and yellows.
Smith wrote a brief primer on this
year’s fall colors for the newsletter sent to
fellow residents at Lake Forest Village.
Lake Forest grounds have been land-
scaped with plenty of trees that give
good color regardless of conditions —
Bradford pear, Chinese pistache and red
oak.
No matter how perfect the condi-
tions, other common North Texas trees
— cottonwood, elm, mulberry, pecan
and post oak — won’t take on much col-
or, he said.
But their golden hues may glow a lit-
tle brighter in the evening sun.
In the fall of 2010, conditions started
to set up as they did in 2006,2002 and
1993, the last time Denton saw beautiful
fall colors.
But it didn’t last, Smith said.
Should conditions continue, this
year’s color could last until Thanksgiv-
ing, he said.
‘We’re set up for a really good one,”
Smith said of fall’s colors. “But it could go
away in one day”

Victim's
family,

settle
Presbyterian to pay
Ebola patient’s relatives,
create new foundation
By Emily Schmall
Associated Press
DALLAS — The hospital that treated
the only Ebola patient to die in the United
States will pay his relatives an undisclosed
sum and create a charitable foundation in
his name, the family’s attorney said
Wednesday.
The agreement heads off a lawsuit
from relatives of Thomas Eric Duncan,
who died Oct. 8 at Texas Health Presbyte-
rian Hospital Dallas.
Duncan, who arrived in North Texas
from Liberia on Sept. 20, was initially sent
away from the hospital’s emergency room
with antibiotics, something Presbyterian
administrators have acknowledged was a
mistake. He returned to the hospital in an
ambulance two days after his release and
was quickly diagnosed with possible signs
of Ebola, which has killed more than
5,000 people in West Africa.
Attorney Les Weisbrod declined to say
at a news conference how much money
the family would receive but said the set-
tlement was a “very good deal” that would
provide for Duncan’s parents and his four
children.
Weisbrod also said Presbyterian hospi-
tal was not charging Duncan’s family for
his medical treatment. The foundation
will assist efforts to fight Ebola in Liberia,
he said.
Duncan’s nephew, Josephus Weeks,
has previously been critical of the care
