CEDAR HILL TODAY_
Ro ary Club embarks
on May cycling rally
Event replaces charity softball game as main fundraiser
By LOYD BRUMFIELD
News Editor
For the past two years, the
Rotary Club of Cedar Hill has
turned to sports for its main
fundraiser.
That trend will continue in
2007, but the sport will change
as the club invites cycling
enthusiasts to “Head for the
Hills” for a bike rally that will
take riders from Cedar Hill to
Ellis County and back.
The event is scheduled for
May 12, 2007, and will proba-
bly start at Cedar Hill High
School.
In the past two years, the
club has sponsored the “Safe At
Home” charity softball game
played in Duncanville.
“‘Safe at Home’ was a good
fundraiser for us, but as it grew,
we knew we probably couldn’t
bring it to Cedar Hill,” said
main bike rally organizer Judy
Pluto. “We wanted to do some-
thing we could bring here, and
we knew it was time for this.”
By the time of the next bike
rally in 2008, Uptown Village,
a new outdoor shopping com-
plex, should be open and
attracting new visitors to the
city, Pluto said.
The race will feature cours-
es of 20, 41 and 64 miles and
will go down into Ellis County
in Waxahachie, Maypearl and
Midlothian, Pluto said. Organ-
izers still have to work out
some of the details with Ellis
County officials, she said.
Pluto and her husband Mike
are longtime cycling enthusi-
asts and have participated and
helped organized rallies before.
Once the club started planning
the event shortly after the “Safe
at Home” softball game, it
turned to Pluto.
The club has set a goal of
500 riders or so for the first
year with the longterm goal of
making the bike rally the pre-
mier event of its kind in the
Dallas-Fort Worth Metroplex.
Applications will probably
go out near the end of February,
and the club plans direct mail-
ing campaigns, extensive ad-
vertising and coordination of
events with local cycling shops.
Proceeds from the event will
go toward rotary club charities,
including the Cedar Hill Food
Pantry, Bridges Safehouse,
Shattered Dreams and other
regional charities, Pluto said.
Cost to enter is $20 before
the race and $25 the day of the
race.
According to organizers, the
club wants to use the event as
an avenue to showcase Cedar
Hill, which is part of the reason
why it changed from a charity
softball game that could only
be held in Duncanville because
of a lack of facilities in Cedar
Hill.
“The City of Cedar Hill
offers the participants of the
Rally premier shopping, din-
ing, entertainment and natural
beauty,” the club said in a state-
ment.
The event should last rough-
ly all day, with signups at 6
a m. and ceremonial events
such as Mayor Rob Franke
shooting off the start cannon
for all courses.
Jody Dean is slated to pro-
vide commentary, as he did the
previous two years at the soft-
ball game, and all courses
should be closed by about 3
p.m.
“Hopefully this will be a
big, positive attraction to Cedar
Hill and something that makes
it more well-known to the
Metroplex,” Pluto said.
Senior Center offers flu shots at health fair
By LOVD BRUMFIELD
News Editor
While Dallas County faces a
shortage of flu shots, the Cedar
Hill Senior Center expects to
have enough on hand at a free
health fair Oct. 20 from 10 a m.
to 2 p.m.
Mobile Medical has told the
Senior Center that it has the
supplies in hand to provide flu
shots for anyone who wants
one at the fair.
“Hopefully there will be no
shortage for us,” Senior Center
Director Barbara Scott said.
The center sponsored a
combination art show and
health fair last year but has sep-
arated those events this year.
“We wanted to focus more
on each individual topic,” Scott
said. “Last year we had two dif-
ferent types of people showing
up, those who were there for
arts and crafts and those who
were there for the health fair.”
Local chiropractor Dr. Lesa
Ansell will be at the fair for
screenings using her Pro
Adjuster equipment, as well as
representatives from health and
wellness specialists offering
information about vitamins and

hormone creams, among other
things.
Also slated to attend is
Cedar Hill Health Care, repre-
sentatives from Mountain
Creek retirement living, local
insurance agent Jill Holley and
other vendors.
There’s still time to sign up
for booths, which cost $20 ($5
for members of the Senior
Center), Scott said. All booths
will be indoors unless capacity
is reached, and then some
might be located outside.
Response has been positive
so far from members, Scott
said, but more vendors are
encouraged to sign up.
“A lot of people have said
they want this, especially if
there are flu shots,” Scott said.
