Universal Parks & Resorts — the theme park arm of entertainment giant NBCUniversal — has bought a site on the Dallas North Tollway for a new, kids-focused park and hotel. The almost 100-acre planned entertainment hub will be located in the $10 billion Fields development. Frisco officials and executives with Universal announced plans Wednesday for the groundbreaking new development after months of planning and negotiations. The Orlando-based company acquired the land for the theme park in December using a shell company based in Delaware, county records show. The project will be designed to appeal to families, with immersive experiences making it a one- to two-day destination, said Mark Woodbury, chairman and CEO of Universal Parks and Resorts. The park will include four or five Universal-themed interactive experiences as well as a 300-room hotel. “You have a fantastic town,” Woodbury said, describing Frisco. “It’s vibrant and full of energy and full of young families, which make it the perfect place for what we are doing. “We have a portfolio of terrific attractions that appeals to young families around the world,” he said. “We had an idea to bring all those together and create a destination that is specially designed to appeal to families with young children. It will be a rich, rich experience for families to enjoy together — to create memories that will last a lifetime.” FRISCO North Texas snags Universal Studios Nearly 100-acre park to focus on younger families Universal Parks & Resorts Frisco’s planned theme park from Universal Studios will cover nearly 100 acres, include a 300-room hotel and feature immersive experiences to make it a one- to two-day family destination.

That’s the vision Universal Parks & Resorts pictures for young families with its newly announced theme park in Frisco. So, what do we know so far about the park? It’ll be derived from a “portfolio of terrific attractions that appeal to young families around the world,” said Mark Woodbury, chairman and CEO of Universal Parks & Resorts. He described the plan Wednesday to the media, city officials and developers of the $10 billion Frisco megaproject known as Fields. The description was more conceptual than detailed. Woodbury said the park’s four or five themes will offer plenty of meet-andgreet experiences with Universal’s stable of well-known characters. It’ll be about one-fourth the size of Universal’s popular Orlando, Fla., park, where themesinclude Harry Potter and the Escape from Gringotts and Despicable Me Minion Mayhem. It’ll be designed to fit into the landscape of the sprawling Fields project, he said. It’ll join the PGA of America’s new golfing resort as the project’s major attractions. Woodbury emphasized the park will be about experiences—interactive attractions geared toward younger families and children ages 3 to 9.

WASHINGTON — House Republicans on Wednesday opened their long-promised investigation into President Joe Biden and his family, wielding the power of their new majority to demand information from the Treasury Department and former Twitter executives as they laid the groundwork for public hearings. “Now that Democrats no longer have one-party rule in Washington, oversight and accountability are coming,” Rep. James Comer, chairman of the House Oversight Committee, said in a statement. The Republican-led committee sent a series of letters requesting financial information from the Treasury Department about financial transactions by members of the Biden family that were flagged as suspicious activity. Those reports are routine, with larger financial transactions automatically flagged to the government, and are not evidence on their own of misconduct. Lawmakers also requested testimony from multiple former Twitter executives who were involved in the company's handling of an October 2020 story from the New York Post about Hunter Biden, the president's younger son. Republicans say that story was suppressed for political reasons. Moving quickly after taking control of the House, Republicans are setting up a messy, politically explosive showdown with the White House that could delve deeply into the affairs of the president’s family and shape the contours of the 2024 race for theWhite House. “In their first week as a governing majority, House Republicans have not taken any meaningful action to address inflation and lower Americans’ costs, yet they’rejumping out of the gate with political stunts driven by the most extreme MAGA members of their caucus in an effort to get attention on Fox News," Ian Sams, a White House spokesman, said in a statement, referring to former President Donald Trump's campaign slogan, Make America Great Again. In a statement, Maryland Rep. Jamie Raskin, the senior Democrat on Oversight, echoed the White House sentiment, saying Democrats will work with Republicans “when they get serious about tackling problems that affect the American people.” The Treasury Department declined to comment. Comer and other Republicans set out their plan for investigating the Biden family the day after clinching a slim majority in the November midterm elections. The Kentucky Republican told reporters there are “troubling questions,” specifically about the business dealings of Hunter Biden and one of the president’s brothers, James Biden, that require deeper investigation. GOP investigations into the Biden family are nothing new. Republican lawmakers and their staff have been analyzing messages and financial transactions found on a laptop that belonged to Hunter Biden for the last year. But Republicans now have subpoena power in the House, giving them the authority to compel testimony and conduct a far more aggressive investigation. Republicans have discussed issuing congressional subpoenas to foreign entities that did business with Hunter Biden, and they recently brought on James Mandolfo, a former federal prosecutor, to assist with the investigation. Hunter Biden’s taxes and foreign business work are already under federal investigation, with a grand jury in Delaware hearing testimony in recent months. Joe Biden has said he’s never spoken to his son about his foreign business. There are no indications that the federal investigation involves the president in any way. WASHINGTON GOP launches investigation into Biden family House oversight panel asks Treasury for financial information By FARNOUSH AMIRI The Associated Press UPDATE Abortion-related actions House Republicans are taking early action on abortion with their new majority, approving two measures Wednesday that make clear they want further restraints after the Supreme Court overruled the federal right to abortion last year. The new GOP-led House passed one resolution to condemn attacks on anti-abortion facilities, including pregnancy crisis centers, and a separate bill that would impose penalties if a doctor refused to care for an infant born alive after an abortion attempt. Neither is expected to pass the Democratic-led Senate. The Associated Press David Martin/The Associated Press New York state Sen. Jack Martins (at podium in Westbury, N.Y.) and other state and local Republicans on Wednesday called for their freshman GOP congressman, George Santos, to resign. Santos, under investigation over his finances and numerous lies about his past, flatly refused. “I will not,” he said at the Capitol. U.S. House Speaker Kevin McCarthy stood by Santos on Wednesday: “The voters made the decision. He has a right to serve.” Santos rejects calls to resign WASHINGTON — Surgeons removed a cancerous lesion above first lady Jill Biden’s right eye and one on her chest, the White House said Wednesday, while a third lesion on her left eyelid was being examined. Dr. Kevin O’Connor, the physician to President Joe Biden, said examinations showed that the lesion over Jill Biden’s right eye and one newly discovered on her chest were confirmed to be basal cell carcinoma. The lesion on her left eyelid was “fully excised,” according to O’Connor’s report. Basal cell carcinoma is the most curable form of skin cancer. It is a slow-growing cancer that usually is confined to the surface of skin — doctors almost always can remove it all with a shallow incision — and seldom causes serious complications or becomes life-threatening. The Bidens spent the day at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda, Md., where the 71-year-old first lady had the scheduled outpatient procedure known as Mohs surgery to remove and examine the lesions. After nearly nine hours at the hospital, the president returned to the White House. The first lady followed later in the evening. O’Connor said the first lady was “experiencing some facial swelling and bruising, but is in good spirits and is feeling well.” First lady has 3 lesions removed 2 were confirmed as basal cell carcinoma; third being looked at By DARLENE SUPERVILLE The Associated Press JILL BIDEN WASHINGTON — The volume of classified documents is vastly different, the circumstances of discovery worlds apart. But the revelation that lawyers for President Joe Biden have located what the White House says is a “small number” of classified documents in a locked closet is an unexpected wrinkle for a Justice Department already investigating Donald Trump over the retention of top secret documents atMar-a-Lago, his Florida estate. Then on Wednesday, NBC News and The New York Times reported Biden’s aides have found another set of classified documents at a separate location. The contents and fate of the second set of documents weren’t clear. It was also unclear when the second batch was discovered, or if it represents the totality of classified materials that appear to have been improperly removed as Biden concluded his tenure as vice president. The White House didn’t respond to a request for comment. The Justice Department declined to comment. Despite abundant factual and legal differences in the situations, Trump seized on the news. The developments is are unlikely to affect the Justice Department’s decision-making with regard to charging Trump. But it could make a criminal case a tougher sell politically. “I don’t think that it impacts Trump’s legal calculus at all, but it certainly does impact the political narrative going forward,” said Jay Town, who served as U.S. attorney in the Northern District of Alabama during the Trump administration. “To the extent that the political narrative is a consideration,” he added, “it does make it harder to bring charges against former President Trump as it relates to the documents seized at Mar-a-Lago.” The Mar-a-Lago investigation is being handled by a special counsel, while the Justice Department assigned the top federal prosecutor in Chicago, a Trump administration holdover, to scrutinize the Biden matter. It’s all unfolding as newly ascendant Republicans have taken control of the House, with plans to target the department with complaints of politicized law enforcement. Already, the top Republican on the House Intelligence Committee, Rep. Mike Turner of Ohio, has requested a damage assessment of the classified documents from the director of national intelligence. And Trump, referring to the FBI’s seizure in August of boxes of classified record at Mar-a-Lago, asked on his social media platform: “When is the FBI going to raid the many homes of Joe Biden, perhaps even the White House?” There are significant differences between the Trump and Biden situations, including the gravity of an ongoing grand jury investigation into the Mar-a-Lago matter. The search of his property was the culmination of months of back-and-forth between government officials and Trump representatives over the retention of presidential records. The National Archives and Records Administration obtained 15 boxes from the Palm Beach, Fla., property last January, contacting the FBI after discovering classified records. But Trump representatives for months resisted requests by the Archives to return all documents. And even after Justice Department officials last spring issued a subpoena for classified records and visited Mar-a-Lago, associates of the former president failed to provide the entire batch of documents, officials say. FBI agents returned in August with a warrant. They say they located documents with classification markings in a storage room and office desk drawer and in total have recovered roughly 300 such records from the property. It remains unclear whether Trump or anyone else might be charged, or when a decision will be made. Meanwhile, the White House is now trying to draw a distinction between the Mar-a-Lago case and the discovery of classified records in the Washington office space of Biden’s former institute.

Eskenazi turns 105 on Jan. 30. He had boarded an Amtrak train in California on Friday for the journey to New Orleans. The other veterans flew. They were visiting thanks to the Soaring Valor Program, a project of actor Gary Sinise’s charitable foundation dedicated to aiding veterans and first responders. The Associated Press Attacker injures six in Paris train station PARIS — The Paris prosecutor said investigators haven’t yet been able to identify the attacker who wounded six people with a sharp metallic hook in the French capital’s Gare du Nord train station on Wednesday before being shot and wounded by police. The suspect attacked several people, including a police officer, during the morning rush hour “with no apparent reason at this stage,” Paris prosecutor Laure Beccuau said in a statement. Beccuau said that the assailant was undergoing surgery. None of the victims had lifethreatening injuries. The suspect was registered under severalidentitiesin a fingerprint database, suggesting he could have been born in Libya or Algeria, the statement said. He is about 20 years old. The Associated Press Explosion near Kabul kills five, hurts others KABUL, Afghanistan — An explosion near the Foreign Ministry in the Afghan capital on Wednesday killed five people and wounded several others, a Taliban police spokesman said, the second prominent attack in Kabul so far in 2023. There was no immediate claim of responsibility for the attack, but the regional affiliate of the Islamic State group — known as the Islamic State in Khorasan Province — has increased its assaults since the Taliban takeover of Afghanistan in 2021. Taliban security forces prevented journalists from getting close to the site, threatening them with guns and telling them to leave. The Associated Press Japan, S. Korea protest China’s visa stoppage TOKYO— Japan and South Korea defended their public health restrictions on travelers from China on Wednesday, a day after China stoppedissuing new visas in both countries in apparent retaliation. South Korean Foreign Minister Park Jin said he finds it “significantly regrettable” that China stopped issuing shortterm visas to South Koreans and called for China to align its pandemic steps with “scientific and objective facts.” The Associated Press NEWS DIGEST Gerald Herbert/The AP Joseph Eskenazi was 23 years old when Pearl Harbor was attacked in 1941. Gustavo Moreno/The Associated Press Supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro were bused to a prison after storming public buildings. Brazilian authorities spared no effort to boost security Wednesday in the face of a social media flyer promoting a “mega-protest to retake power” in two dozen cities. The uprising didn’t materialize. ‘Mega-protest’ in Brazil fizzles WASHINGTON— Far fewer U.S. police officers died while on the job in 2022 than a year earlier, due mostly to a drop in COVID-19 deaths, though the number killed by gunfire remained relatively high, according to a report releasedWednesday. Sixty-four of the 226 officers who died in the line of duty last year were fatally shot, the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial Fund said. That matched the death-by-gunfire tally from 2021, with the shooting death figures from both years reflecting an increase in the average annual fatality toll over the past decade and an indication of a disturbing trend, said Bill Alexander, executive director of the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial inWashington. “We really do have some concerns about these numbers specific to firearms fatalities,” Alexander said. From 2010 to 2020, by comparison, 53 officers on average were killed by gunfire each year. Texas had the overall largest number of deaths in the line of duty with 33, followed by New York with 12. California and Georgia each had 11. The country has seen an overall rise in violent crime in recent years, especially from gun violence. The exact causes are hard to pinpoint, but experts say potential factors include the pandemic, which has killed more than 1 million people in the U.S., as well as civil unrest and fears about the economy. The overall number of police deaths dropped in 2022 by 61% from an all-time high of 586 a year earlier, as reduced coronavirus infection rates and widespread availability of vaccines meant fewer officers died from COVID-19. The organization tallies COVID-19 deaths from officers infected with the virus in the line of duty. The virus remained the No. 1 killer of police last year. There was also an increase in fatalities related to vehicle crashes. Forty officers died in traffic crashes last year, an increase of nearly 30% from 2021. Fewer police die on the job LAW ENFORCEMENT Drop in COVID-19 deaths contributed to 2022 tally, report says By LINDSAY WHITEHURST The Associated Press WASHINGTON — After a backlash from Texas Republicans and others, the head of the Consumer Product Safety Commission says the agency has no plans to ban gas stoves following a report finding health hazards linked to gas ranges. An agency commissioner did suggest moving away from them, but the chairman shot down talk of a prohibitionWednesday. “Research indicates that emissions from gas stoves can be hazardous, and the CPSC is looking for ways to reduce related indoor air quality hazards,” CPSC chair Alexander Hoehn-Saric said in a statement. “But to be clear, I am notlooking to ban gas stoves, and the CPSC has no proceeding to do so.” The statement follows an interview with Bloomberg on Monday in which CPSC commissioner Richard Trumka Jr. said the agency plans to take action to address the “hidden hazard” presented by gas stoves and that “any option is on the table,”including a ban. Natural gas stoves are used in about 40% of U.S. homes, but studies have found they emit harmful air pollutants at levels deemed unsafeby theEPAandWorld Health Organization. Exposure to theselevels arelinked to respiratory illness, cardiovascular problems, cancer and other health conditions. A December study in the International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health found that over 12% of current childhood asthma cases in the U.S. can also be attributed to gas stoves. After the news broke, Republican lawmakers were quick to attack a potential ban as an overreach by the Biden administration. On Monday, Texas Sen. Ted Cruz tweeted an illustration of a gas stove with the phrase “Come and takeit.” “The Biden administrationis onceagain going toextreme lengths to appease Green New Deal fanatics — they’re considering a national ban on gas stoves,” Cruz wrotein another tweet. “I’ll NEVER give up my gas stove. If the maniacs in the White House come for my stove, they can pryit from my cold dead hands. COME AND TAKE IT,” Rep. Ronny Jackson, R-Amarillo, wrote onTwitter onTuesday. Jackson said discussion of a ban on gas stoves is a “waste of time,”andanexample of government overreach during a Wednesday morning appearance on Newsmax.He addedit would be a burden on lower- and middle-class individuals who currently have gas stoves. “It’s cheaper, it’s faster, it’s more efficient,” Jackson said of gas stoves. “It’s going to costa fortune forpeople to go in and convert to electric from gas.” However, if a ban did happen one day, it would only apply to future products and not require existing gas stove users to switch. Additionally, the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law in August included a rebate of up to $840 for the purchase of new electric ranges. “To be clear, CPSC isn’t coming for anyone’s gas stoves. Regulations apply to new products,” Trumka tweetedMonday. “ForAmericans who CHOOSE to switch from gas to electric, thereis support available.” Some Democrats fired back. On Wednesday, Rep. Marc Veasey, D-Fort Worth, criticized Republicans on Twitter for “lying and being dishonest over gas stoves.” He said it was an attempt to distract fromlast week’s contestedHouse speaker race. Theissue could remainin play as Senate and House committeeleadersexpressed concern over the commission’s validity. “The federal government has no business telling American families how to cook their dinner,” Senate Energy and Natural Resources Chair Joe Manchin, D-W.Va.,in a statement. House Energy and Commerce Chair Cathy McMorris Rodgers, R-Wash., told E&ENews she plans to bring the issue and commission before her committee. Hoehn-Saric, the CPSC chair, said Wednesday the commission will ask the public for more information in the spring on gas stove emissions and solutions. “This is part of our product safety mission — learning about hazards and working to make products safer,” Hoehn-Saric said. Twitter:@bekah_alvey Consumer official says no ban on gas stoves in works PUBLIC HEALTH GOP lawmakers had fumed over rumored health-related step By REBEKAH ALVEY Washington Bureau [email protected] WASHINGTON — The United States and Japan unveiled plans Wednesday to strengthen their alliance to help counter threats from North Korea and China, which they called the greatest security challenge in the region. In unusually blunt terms, the U.S. and Japanese foreign and defense ministers condemned China’s increasing aggressiveness in the Indo-Pacific and elsewhere, called out Russia for its war with Ukraine and castigated North Korea for ramping up its nuclear and missile programs. In a joint statement, Secretary of State Antony Blinken, Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin and their Japanese counterparts, Yoshimasa Hayashi and Yasukazu Hamada, said China presents an “unprecedented” threat tointernational order and vowed to redouble their efforts to counter it. The four men agreed to adjust the American troop presence on the island of Okinawa in part to enhance anti-ship capabilities. Prior to the meeting, Japan announced it was ready to start construction on an uninhabited island where the two militaries will hold joint military exercises beginning in 2027. Blinken said the agreement signed Wednesday reflects the nations’ effort to deepen cooperation “across all realms.” Wednesday’s talks will be followed by a meeting Friday between President Joe Biden and Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida.

The Dallas Morning News dallasnews.com FROM THE FRONT PAGE E Thursday, January 12, 2023 5A Frisco is one of the hottest cities in North Texas for homebuyers. Wednesday’s announcement of a new Universal theme park could throw more fuel into that fire — and community members havemixed reactions to the news. Universal Parks & Resorts has bought a site on the Dallas North Tollway for a new, kid-friendly theme park in the $10 billion Fields development, close to where the PGA of America also recently built its new headquarters. Universal’s project will be designed to appeal to families and will include a 300-room hotel. “Everybody is completely buzzed about this,” said Christie Cannon, a real estate agent with Keller Williams in Frisco who has lived in the area for 20 years. “It confirms everything people have been saying for years that Friscois a destination.” Frisco and surrounding cities are known for being big magnets for families, so it’s not a shock to real estate agents that Universal would build a kid-centric theme parkin town. Blair Taylor, a broker at Re/Max DFW Associates in Frisco, said he was initially excited about theidea of a Universal Studios park similar to the existingparks rather than oneaimedat kids, but the kid-friendly concept fits in an area that’s already “a mecca of family entertainment.” “This plays into that, being something else for the kids,” he said. “I see what they’re doing.” Craig Drenowatz, secretary of the homeowners association in the Trails of West Frisco neighborhood, said half of his neighbors are ecstatic about the park and the city’s growth, and the other half is concerned about the impending influx of tourist activity on issues like traffic and parking. “Those concerns are absolutely out there. People were already concerned about PGA and Fields,” Drenowitz said. Still, he says, city officials have “mitigated those concerns with every project they’ve done, so give them a chance to doit again this time.” Trafficwas themajor concern of residents who attended a meeting held by city officials Wednesday night at nearbyTrentMiddle School.Most residents wanted to know about the volume of trafficin and out of the park and traffic flow through nearby neighborhoods. “You are asking the same kinds of questionswehadwhen this project was brought us,”Mayor JeffCheney said. John McReynolds, seniorvice president ofUniversalParks and Resorts, showed a site plan and discussed how the flow of traffic is takenintoaccount to “zero out theimpacts to ourlocal community.” “We intentionally laid out the park on the north side of the property so the ingress and egressis off of Dallas North Tollway, making sure the stacking happens on our site,” McReynolds said. “Wewant tomake surewedon’tdoanything so people will say ‘I’m not going through this again, I’m not coming back.’ … We can have the most phenomenalexperience, butifyou can’t get in or out of our site it ruins the experience.” Home value impact Joel Fitts, Frisco’s transportation planning manager, said because the park is expected to cater to ages 3-9, guests will arrive for a 10 a.m. opening, after commuters are at work. Closing time has not been set but would likely be 6 p.m. weekdays and 7 p.m. weekends. As far as the crowd it will draw, Fitts said that weekday guests are expected to total 7,500, with 20,000 on weekends. “And they don’t arrive at the same time,” he said. In Frisco, home prices have risen dramatically over the past three years, from about $656,000 in November 2019 to $720,000 in November 2022, according to local Realtor associations and the Texas Real Estate Research Center atTexasA&MUniversity. Cannon said the theme park could help Frisco’s housing market stay strong as the local housing market has been slowing down from the red-hot past few years. “Especially in this time of uncertaintyin 2023, I thinkitis going to help us maintain our home values,” Cannon said. Parag Dere, a resident in the nearby GlenViewcommunity, saidheassumes the park will help bump up real estate prices, but he wants to know how it could affect property tax bills.But he’s a theme park fan, so he’slooking forward toUniversal coming to town. “Now I don’t have to go to Orlando or California, nor do I have to drive an hour to go to Six Flags,” Dere said in an email. Park as catalyst Christopher Penney, an associate professor of management at the University of North Texas, also expects nearby property values and taxes to rise. “You think about all the jobs this is going tocreate, theywillallneedaplace tolive,”Penney said,noting that themepark competitor Disney employs thousandsinits parks. “Evenifit’s a fraction of that, that’s a massive amount of peoplelooking for a place tolive.” Penney also noted that the theme park will be a catalyst for a lot more development in the area, which, in turn, will bea strain on trafficandinfrastructure. “That growth was going to happen regardless,” he said. “What this maybe did is it moved the timeline up, maybe by a decade.” Philip Ray, a Cobb Hill Estates resident, saidwhen he first heardabout the Fields development he was told it would be multiuse, large houses, parks and trails. “Today,we find outit’s going to bean amusement park with over 6,000 parking spaces, 1,500 of which are only accessible from the entrance across from my backyard,” Ray said after the meeting. “When I asked if they have studied how it will impact my neighborhood, they want to do a five-year studyafterit opens.Theylookedathow traffic patterns are going to be affected on roads they are building but not our neighborhood.” Brad Sharp, chair of the Frisco Downtown Advisory Board, said the park will be a good amenity for Frisco, especially the Fields development area. “This brings a significant entertainment component to it,” Sharp said. “I like that it gives us some more amenities on the northern edge of Frisco. Hopefully, some of that traffic will take advantage of downtown as well.” Growth concerns Susan Gregson, a real estate agent with Ebby Halliday in Frisco, lives about three to four miles south of the park site. She has lived in the city since 1996, when the population was just 17,000, and has seen it grown to more than 210,000 residents. “As a Realtor, the PGA and other large companies like Universal moving into thearea could certainly be good for business,” Gregson said in an email. “I’m sure the cityis also considering the positive revenue stream and employment opportunities the development will add to Frisco. That said, as a resident, I have concerns.” Gregson said she thinks Frisco’s infrastructure “has always seemed to be behind the growth” and that Eldorado Parkway betweenLegacyDriveand the tollway is “nearly impassable” at 5 p.m. onweeknightsandSaturdaymornings. “I think a development like this could further exacerbate already bad traffic, congestion and dangerous road conditions we see on a daily basis,” she said, adding that most of her friends and neighbors are opposed to the theme park. Cannonismore optimistic. “Frisco’s done a really good job of managing the traffic, and with it being right off the tollway you have multiple ways of getting there,” she said. “If somebody doesn’t want to go past the theme park they don’t have to—we can take Preston, we can take Legacy, we can take different streets and different ways around.” [email protected], [email protected] Twitter:@mitchellparton, @1SusanMcFarland Theme park’s neighbors split on community effects Some see boost to home values, jobs; others worry about traffic, infrastructure By MITCHELL PARTON and SUSAN MCFARLAND Staff Writers CHRISTIE CANNON Rebecca Slezak/Staff Photographer Monica Johnson and Charles Graffam looked at a map showing the Universal Studios theme park’s border streets and parking areas at a meeting on the park’s impact Wednesday in Frisco.

6A Thursday, January 12, 2023 E FROM THE FRONT PAGE dallasnews.com The Dallas Morning News Woodbury said the park attractions will be “built around a lush landscaped environment.” Universal executives didn’t provide a timetable for the project. Property sale records indicate that the company plans to open the park in the next four years. Mayor Jeff Cheney called it a “one-of-a-kind” project and said Universal considered sites around the globe. “Families for generations to come will get to experience immersive environments with the stories they love,” he said. “They were looking not just anywhere in the country but someplace in the world to launch this. “They decided North Texas would be a good fit,” Cheney said. “All of you can see why they chose Frisco — Frisco is known for being family-friendly.” Unlike Universal Studios’ sprawling parks in Orlando, Los Angeles and abroad, the Frisco development will be a much smaller attraction. “The park is roughly a quarter of size of our big parks in Orlando,” Universal Parks’ president of new ventures Page Thompson said. “It’s full of family-friendly attractions, interactive and playful shows. “You’ll have meet and greets with all of our beloved Universal characters.” The project at the northeast corner of the tollway and Panther Creek Parkway will also include retail stores and restaurants, according to the agreement with Fields developers. Frisco officials teased the project on Tuesday as a “major economic and tourism development” when they sent out invitations to Wednesday’s press conference. Plans for the Frisco Universal theme park come after decades of speculation that entertainment companies including Disney were scouting North Texas for a theme park. The Frisco Universal park will join the PGA of America’s new golfing resort as major attractions in the Fields community, which has been in the works for four years. The Frisco Fields development, which stretches between Preston Road and U.S. Highway 380, is planned to include as many as 14,000 homes and apartments plus commercial space. Developers Karahan Cos. and Hunt Realty are building the Fields community in partnership with investors Chief Partners and Crosstie Capital. A part of the Comcast entertainment conglomerate, NBCUniversal is best known for its television programming and box office hit movies. The company’s theme park business generates billions of dollars a year in revenue from its signature properties in Florida, California, Asia and Spain. The huge Universal Orlando Resort draws more than 10 million visitors a year. The Orlando park has more than five times the amount of acreage than what’s planned in Frisco. Universal Orlando showcases attractions based on popular motion pictures including Harry Potter, E.T., Minions andTheMummy. There are resort hotels, restaurants, stores — and, of course, thrill rides. Universal’s theme park business employs tens of thousands of people worldwide. The Universal Studios theme park in Frisco will occupy land that was previously planned for mixed-use construction. “This is another huge thing for both our project and Frisco,” Fields developer Fehmi Karahan said. Frisco’s city council held a meeting Wednesday night to talk to homeowners about the planned development. It was held at Trent Middle School just south of the Fields development. “Of course our planning and zoning still has some work to do on this project,” Cheney said. Twitter: @SteveBrownDMN Lola Gómez/Staff Photographer Universal Parks & Resorts Chairman and CEO Mark Woodbury announced plans to build a Universal Studios theme park in Frisco on Wednesday.

At the front of the park will be a 300-room hotel, he said. Unlike Universal’s five signature parks globally, there aren’t any roller coasters planned. Page Thompson, president of new ventures for Universal Parks & Resorts, said the Fields development site gives the company “plenty of room” to build a park filled with familyfriendly attractions, including playful shows. “It’s a scale appropriate for our young family audience,” Thompson said. “Even though it may be smaller in terms of acreage than our other parks, the quality of it is at the level worthy of the Universal name.” Universal executives didn’t provide a timetable or estimated cost for the project. Property sale records indicate the company expects to open the park within four years. The family entertainment center market is expected to grow at an annual rate of over 12% through 2026 to $21 billion, according to market research firm Technavio. Those centers range from arcade studios and virtual-reality gaming zones to more traditional businesses mixing food and fun, such as Coppell-based Dave & Busters, Irving-based Chuck E. Cheese and Dallasbased Main Event Entertainment. The category also includes KidZania, the Mexican-owned upscale children’s entertainment concept that opened its first U.S. location at Stonebriar Centre in Frisco. That location is about14 miles south of the planned Universal site. The overall amusement industry market is expected to reach $681 billion globally by 2027, with North America accounting for 54% of the growth, according to Technavio. Theme parks were pummeled by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020 and are still recovering. Christopher Penney, an associate professor of management at the University of North Texas in Denton, said he thinks Universal could be testing the market for future parks with the Frisco concept. He compared it with the company’s evolutionin Florida. “What they’ve done over the last decade in Florida I think could happen here, too,” said Penney, who worked in the amusement park industry before entering academia. “They started just with Universal Studios, put in Islands of Adventure and added to it. Every bet that they’ve taken has been successful.” What Universal’s parent company is banking on is that “everyone was cooped up in their houses for a couple years,” he said. “Themed entertainment is going to be the biggest growth segment, and they’ve got all their chips in place. Virtual reality, the metaverse can only go so far. People want something tangible that they can touch, that they can hear and feel and smell.” That’s also what makes Universal’s plan different from Arlington-based Six Flags EntertainmentCorp.,which operates 27 theme parks in the U.S., Mexico and Canada. Six Flags was an industry outlier, posting a 21% drop in revenue in its most recent quarterly results. “What sort of has happened is they’ve become very stagnant,” Penney said. “They haven’t had to spend themoney to open new [rides].What’s going to happen now is, because of competition, Six Flags is really going to have to respond, have to step it up. Everyone in the community really wins when you have this healthy competition.” Frisco also stands to gain in stature as a regional destination for tourists and as a housing market as Universal begins hiring, Penney said. “It’s definitely going to be the catalyst for a lot more growth in that area,” he said. “That growth was going to happen regardless.What this did is it moved the timeline up, maybe by a decade.” Staff writer Mitchell Parton contributed to this story. Twitter:@AlexandraSkores Plans may mean big boost Continued from Page 1A Xinhua News Agency Tourists interacted with staff members in December at Universal Studios Hollywood in Los Angeles. The addition of a Universal Studios theme park in Frisco is expected to bring more growth to the area. Universal Studios is bringing its next theme park to Frisco, its third location in the U.S., as the chain continues to expand worldwide. Universal Parks & Resorts — the theme park arm of entertainment giant NBCUniversal — has bought a site on the Dallas North Tollway for a new kid-friendly theme park. The almost 100-acre planned entertainment hub will bein the$10 billionFields development. The project will be designed to appeal to families, with immersive experiences making it a one- or two-day destination, saidMarkWoodbury, chairman and CEO of Universal Parks & Resorts. There also will be a 300-room Universal-themed hotel. Unlike Universal Studios’ sprawling parks in Orlando, Fla., Los Angeles and abroad, the Frisco development will be a much smaller attraction — the first of multiple such projects the company plans. It will be about one-fourth the size of theOrlando park. Here’s what to know about the company’s history in the parks business and what it could be bringing to Frisco. Universal has five park and resort locations worldwide. Universal has five theme parks and resorts, nine hotels and 10,000 hotel rooms around the world. Universal Studios founder CarlLaemmlefirst openedhis Hollywood studios to the public in 1915. The studio began offering tram tours in 1964 and opened its Jaws ride in 1976 with a 25-foot animatronic shark. Universal Orlando Resort opened in 1990. It now includes the Universal Studios Florida theme park, the Islands of Adventure theme park and the Volcano Bay water park. It also has eight themed hotels. Universal CityWalk, a themed dining and entertainment complex, opened outside of the Hollywood park in 1993. Six years later, it opened inOrlando. Universal Studios Japan opened in 2001, breaking worldwide attendance records in its first year, according to the company. The company opened a second park in Asia, Universal Studios Singapore, in 2011 and a Beijing parkin 2021. The company continues to invest in its parks, cities. In 2019, Universal announced a third theme park in Orlando called Epic Universe, which Brian Roberts, CEO of parent company Comcast Corp., said at the time was “the largest investment we’ve ever made in a park.” Universal Orlando Resort and Orlando’s Right Rail coalition announced Jan. 5 they would create a public organization that would plan and constructacommuter rail station near the future Epic Universe park linking the park to Orlando International Airport and Orange County ConventionCenter. Rides and attractions have an entertainment theme. Universal parks primarily feature rides based on the company’s film and television catalog. Attractions are based onfilms suchasRevenge of the Mummy, Transformers and Harry Potter. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter opened in Orlando in 2010. Universal Studios Florida revealed another Harry Potter attraction, Diagon Alley, in 2014. That same year, the Wizarding World openedinJapan,and theHollywood park added the attractionin 2016. Universal Studios Hollywood plans to open Super Nintendo World Feb. 17, a themed land based on Nintendo video games with a ride based on the Mario Kart series using augmented reality. Universal Studios Florida held its first Halloween event, Fright Nights, in 1991. Four of Universal’s parks host the annual event, now known as HalloweenHorrorNights. How Universal fits into the bigger Comcast picture. Universal Parks & Resorts is a division of NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Philadelphiabased Comcast. Comcast acquired NBCUniversal in 2011. Comcast is also a broadband, wireless and video provider through its Xfinity, Comcast Business and Sky brands. Comcast’s entertainment, sports and news arms include Universal, Sky Studios, NBC, Telemundo and Peacock. Universal’s parks brought in more than $5.4 billion in revenue from the start of 2022 through December, about 19% of the company’s $29.3 billion in total revenue over the same period, according to Comcast public filings. Park revenue increased 71.6% from 2021 to 2022 with the resurgence of tourism from theCOVID-19 pandemic. Universal is a massive employer inOrlando. Universal is the thirdlargest employer in Orlando, with 21,143 workers, behind AdventHealth (37,000) and Walt Disney World Resort (58,478), according to the city of Orlando and the Orlando Business Journal.

The Dallas Morning News dallasnews.com FROM THE FRONT PAGE E Thursday, January 12, 2023 7A A Federal Aviation Administration systems outage that shut down the nation’s flight system Wednesday morning and caused thousands of delays is just the latest in a series of technology breakdowns within the agency that oversees flying for the world’s biggest travelmarket. While the FAAis still trying to figure out whatled to a shutdown of a critical flight safety system that forcedalldomestic flights to be grounded for more than 90minutes, thelast two years have exposed technology and staffing issues that have frustrated airlines and passengers. “We have a system where air traffic control systems go down entirely,” said Michael Boyd, an aviation consultant with Boyd Group International in Colorado. “We’ve had issueswith staffing,we’vehadissues with morale, and we have the biggest domestic air transportation system in the world and we don’t have an FAA system that can handleit.” Just last week, a computer issue caused delays at Florida airports after problems with the FAA’s En Route Automation Modernization system, or the heart of today’s air traffic control. ERAM replaced its 40-year-old predecessor in 2015, providing the FAA with the foundation required to enable improved management and navigation. The FAA stated on its website that the new ERAM system increases air traffic flow andimprovesautomatednavigation and airspace conflict issues, both of which the FAA said are vital to prevent gridlock and delays as stress grows on the nation’s aviation system. In June, airlines refused to take the blame alone for heavy flight traffic and disruptions along the East Coast. The carriers pointed to the FAA’s understaffing while federal officials accused airlines of planning more flights than they were capable of handling. The FAA said it added controllers in high-traffic areas and added alternate routes to keep planes moving. Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg called airline leaders to a virtual meeting and threatened to punish carriers that fail to meet consumer-protection standards set by his department, which includes the FAA, after more than 2,700 flights were canceled in a five-day stretch aroundMemorial Day. Over a weekend in October 2021, Southwest canceled more than 2,000 flights after bad weather and air traffic control disruptions essentially shut down flights in and out of Florida, one of the travel industry’s busiest states. That incident was blamed on a pileup of demands on Florida’s airspace, including spacelaunches at the Kennedy Space Center, military jet maneuvers near Jacksonville, bad weather and an uptick in private planes. U.S. Travel Association President and CEO Geoff Freeman said the most recent FAA system failure, which resulted in more than 3,000 flight delays and hundreds of cancellations, must spur federal action. “Today’s FAA catastrophic system failure is a clear sign that America’s transportation network desperately needs significant upgrades,” Freeman said. “Americans deserve an end-to-end travel experience that is seamless and secure. And our nation’s economy depends on a best-in-class air travel system.” The FAA has also recently come under fire for its oversight of airlines such as Southwest, Allegiant and American Airlines, as well as the role it played in certifying the Boeing 737 Max jet, which had a flawed software system that led to plane crashes in Ethiopia and Indonesia that killed 346 people. In a report on the top management challenges of 2023, the U.S. Department of Transportation Office of Inspector General said that while the FAA has taken positive steps to workmore closely with air carriers to improve safety, weaknesses in FAA’s oversight have led to long-unresolved safety issues. The Office of Inspector General report said the FAA did not ensure the airlines address compliance issues. As a result, the FAA continues to face challenges in achieving its goals to secure rapid compliance, eliminate safety risks and implement permanent changes, the report said. The American Economic Liberties Project, a consumer advocacy group, hopes Wednesday morning’s crisis is used to inform an overdue national conversation about the state of commercial aviationin theU.S. “While the causes of this morning’s outage of thecritical NOTAM system are still being determined, one thing has long been true: the FAA is chronically underfunded and does not have all the resources necessary to adequately support our national aviation system,” said William McGee, a senior fellow for aviation and travel at the American Economic Liberties Project. “That is a direct result of efforts by the airline industry and their allies in government to starve an essential agency.” The Associated Press contributed to this report.

Hundreds of flights out of Dallas’ airports were canceled and delayed Wednesday morning after the Federal Aviation Administration grounded planes because of a systemwide outage to a critical notification system. Travelers at Dallas Love Field and DFW International Airport, still wary from the recent winter storm cancellations and Southwest Airlines meltdown, played the waiting game to see how they would be impacted. At Love Field, Nicole Vowel joined a small group of passengers staring slack-jawed at the board showing departures and arrivals. She and her sister, both originally from Oklahoma City, drove to Dallas on Tuesday night so they could catch a Southwest flight. They were going to California to celebrate their grandmother’s 93rd birthday on Saturday. “We were supposed to leave at 7:40,” Vowel said as she peered through the list of delays. “Then it was 2:40, then 11:15, then 11:30. And now, I don’t even see our flight.” The sisters were bracing for the possibility they might have to make the drive to San Diego so they could arrive in time for the birthday celebration. Those fears were diminished when Southwest texted them about their new departure time at noon. The board showed most flights scheduled before 7:30 a.m. had been delayed until 8:30 a.m. Several flight times were pushed back repeatedly. Only a handful of flights — about seven as of 8:40 a.m. — were canceled altogether. Vowel wasn’t the only passenger who made the long drive to Dallas ahead ofWednesday’s meltdown. Twanna Wiloth woke up at 3 a.m. to make the drive to Love Field from Eastland, about 130 miles from Dallas. Her 6:50 a.m. flight to Atlanta was also delayed repeatedly. “I was hoping all of that was over,” Wiloth said, referencing the Southwest Airlines meltdown that stranded thousands of people across the country during the height of the holiday travel season.

Flights resumed across the United States on Wednesday morning after they were temporarily grounded as a computer outage threatened to wreak havoc throughout the country’s airports. The Federal Aviation Administration ordered domestic flights for most of the country’s airports grounded until 8 a.m. Hundreds — possibly thousands — of flights across the country were expected to be affected by delays or cancellations. The FAA blamed the outage on an issue with its Notice to Air Mission — or NOTAM — system. The system is a crucial component of all civilian and military flights in the United States that alerts pilots to hazards or other issues they may experience during their departure, flight or arrival. NOTAM warnings can include information about runway conditions, weather, airport construction or the presence of hazards — including drone, military or parachute activity — near an airplane’s flight path. Before taking off, pilots should “always check” 25 nautical miles on either side of their flight path for NOTAMs that might affect their flights, according to the FAA. The FAA initially ordered a ground stop for all domestic flights, but shortly after 7 a.m., the agency began allowing flights at two major airports — Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport — to begin departing due to air-traffic congestion. The agency said at 7:15 a.m. it was “making progress in restoring its Notice to Air Missions system.” President Joe Biden was briefed by Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg about the system outage. “There is no evidence of a cyberattack at this point, but the President directed DOT to conduct a full investigation into the causes,” White House Press Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre tweeted.

8A Thursday, January 12, 2023 E FROM THE FRONT PAGE dallasnews.com The Dallas Morning News lays that we saw.” The FAA said Wednesday evening it had traced the problem to a damaged database file in its Notice to Air Missions, or NOTAM, system, which feeds criticalinformation to airplanes and pilots. “At this time, there is no evidence of a cyberattack,” the agency said. “The FAA is working diligently to further pinpoint the causes of this issue and take all needed steps to prevent this kind of disruption from happening again.” Late start The FAA lifted its ground stop at airports nationwide just before 8 a.m. Central time and flights started taking off again after the systemwide outage. But the damage had already been done to complex airline networks that had to start the day hourslate. Even after the ground stop was lifted, American Airlines halted domestic flights from other airports heading to DFW International Airport between 10 a.m. and 11:25 a.m., according to the FAA. The agency slowed flights into other airports, such as Denver International, because of airspace congestion as systems came back online. While thousands of flights were delayed, the disruption will continue to trickle throughout the system as airlines scramble to rebuild schedules for planesand crewmembers. It comes just days after Dallasbased Southwest Airlines suffered its own meltdown in which it had to cancel more than 16,700 flights to end the holiday season. “Our operational planners for the day are working to keep the network intact while also making sure our customers are getting to their destinations safely and as quickly as possible,” said Southwest Airlines spokesman Dan Landson. “Before the FAA ground stop was lifted, we proactively canceled flights early to begin reaching to customers with updates and flexibility to self-serve changes to their travel plans.” Southwest and Fort Worthbased American Airlines both delayed half of their flights Wednesday, according to flight tracking service Flightaware- .com. Southwest canceled 424 flights, about 10% of its schedule, while American canceled 180, or11% ofits schedule for the day. That includes more than 450 delays and 42 cancellations at Dallas Love Field, home of Southwest Airlines, and 700 delays and 61 cancellations at DFW Airport, American’s largest hub. “As a result of the FAA’s outage, we anticipate some schedule adjustments will be made throughout the day,” Southwest’s Landson said in a statement. ‘Irregularity’ Southwest and United are among airlines that have begun allowing passengerswith flights scheduled for Wednesday to shift their tickets to travel within the next two weeks free of charge. By 4 p.m. Wednesday, there were nearly 9,000 delayed flights within, into or out of the United States, according to FlightAware. More than 1,300 were canceled. Delays started on the East Coast and spread west. Buttigieg said there is no indication that an external attack was responsible for the outage. “We’re not prepared to rule that out,” Buttigieg told MSNBC. “There hasn’t been anyindication that FBI has spoken to thisand, of course,FAAis looking closely at that as well as they work to see exactly what was going oninside the files that were in the system leading to thisirregularity.” Before commencing a flight, pilots are required to consult NOTAMs, which list potential adverseimpacts on flights, from runway construction to the potential foricing. The system used to be telephone-based,with pilots calling dedicated flight service stations for the information, but has now moved online. All aircraft are required to route through the system, including commercial andmilitary flights. Retired American Airlines pilot Richard Levy said he had never seen the NOTAMs systems go down during his 41 years of flying. Not shocked “It didn’t shock me that they had to shut the whole system down,” said Levy, who lives in Flower Mound. “You need upto-date Notice to Air Missions because it will tell you what you need to know about flying into any airport.” Pilots need to read the NOTAM reports before they leave so they know if an airplane is overweight to land on a shortened runway, forinstance. TheSouthwestandNOTAM outages come after heavy criticism from Buttigieg and the White House of the airline industry, in particular Southwest Airlines, for passenger disruptions from a technology breakdown over the holidays. The FAA system outage is the latest in FAA issues over the last two years coming out of the COVID-19 pandemic. Airlines have criticized the flight regulator for disruptions from technology problems, airspace congestion and staffingissues. In a letter to the Transportation Department in June, Airlines for American President Nicholas Calio said air traffic is often disrupted “for many hours” because bad weather causes the FAA toissue delays. “However, we have also observed that FAA (air traffic control) staffing challenges haveled to traffic restrictions under blue sky conditions,” theletter said. Sen. Maria Cantwell, the Washington Democrat who chairs the Senate committee overseeing the FAA, also pledged to examine Wednesday’s failure. “We will belooking into what caused this outage and how redundancy plays a role in preventing future outages,” she said. The Senate is just beginning to take up legislation to reauthorize the FAA. “The public needs a resilient air transportation system,” Cantwell said in a Tweet. TheAssociatedPress contributed to this report. Twitter:@kylelarnold Domestic flights canceled, delayed after FAA grounding Continued from Page 1A measure adopted early in the Trump administration. “This incident also highlights why the public needs a competent, proven leader with substantive aviation experience leading the FAA,” Cruz said. Nominee stalled The Federal Aviation Administration has not had a Senate-confirmed chief since last March, when Stephen Dickson, a former Delta Air Lines executive appointed by former President Donald Trump, resigned halfway through his five-year term. A nominee from President Joe Biden has stalled in the Senate. “When there’s an issue with the FAA that needs to get looked at, we’re going to own it, same as we ask airlines to own their companies’ and their operations. But the bottom line for us is always going to be safety,” Buttigieg said on CNN. “The system is continuously being upgraded and improved but I think that is one of the key questions that we have to look at based on what we saw overnight.” The system failure cascaded through the day, and as airlines were forced to cancel thousands of flights, criticism intensified about the pace of modernization at the FAA, some of it aimed directly at Buttigieg. The new House transportation chairman, Rep. Sam Graves, R-Mo., noted that the last ground stop this extensive was after the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks. The “malfunction,” said Graves, “highlights a huge vulnerability in our air transportation system” that he blamed on “the DOT’s and FAA’s failure to properly maintain and operate the air traffic control system.” Robert W. Mann Jr., an independent airline industry analyst, called it ironic that Buttigieg and the FAA came down so hard on Southwest Airlines for cancelling nearly 17,000 flights Christmas weekend, only to see the agency’s own shortcomings surface weeks later. System failure FAA’s air traffic control operation relies on hardware and software that is decades old, a challenge shared by airlines. “They realize that what they have was designed a long time ago, but if it ain’t broke — yet — don’t fix it,” Mann said, adding that the back-to-back crises exposed the folly of such procrastination. “And if it does break, fix it in a way that is the least imposition.” The FAA outage and the Southwest disruptions both provide fertile ground for hearings as Congress uses the FAA reauthorization to prod the agency to improve. One key question will be why the NOTAM system — Notice to Air Missions — that failed on Wednesday has few built-in redundancies, Mann said, and Congress must also press to identify other vulnerable systems. “There are probably others,” he said. “Find those other systems that are similarly exposed [that] haven’t failed yet, but it’s only a matter of time.” Rep. Colin Allred, D-Dallas, who serves on a subcommittee that oversees the FAA, said he was “shocked” by antiquated methods he saw at the control tower a few years ago at DFW International Airport, the nation’s fourth-busiest by passenger count. “They were still writing down numbers on these slips of paper and putting them on the board by hand,” he recalled. “The experts have been throwing up flags for some time and telling us we have to do something about it. ... We have tried in some ways, but we haven’t gotten to the root of the problem.” Allred defended Buttigieg in part by noting the FAA’s failings predate his tenure. He put the onus on Congress to provide funds and a fresh direction. “Everyone else pales in comparison to us in terms of our safety record, but we’re falling behind on innovation,” he said. White House press secretary Karine Jean-Pierre said the president has full confidence in Buttigieg. “He respects the secretary and the work that he has been doing,” she said. “You have seen the secretary on TV. ... They are doing everything that they can to make sure that the experience that Americans have is a good one” when they travel. But Republicans took the opening to snipe at a rising Democratic star. “Is Pete Buttigieg on vacation again?” Rep. Troy Nehls, R-Richmond, asked on Twitter. The jab referred to revelations a month ago, widely discussed in conservative circles, that Buttigieg spent a week in Portugal just before Labor Day during a critical moment in talks between railroads and workers. President Joe Biden and Congress ended up intervening to avert a rail strike that could have sapped billions per day from the U.S. economy. Aviation experience Biden also took heat over high-level vacancies at FAA. Billy Nolen, the agency’s top safety official, has led the agency as acting administrator since March. In July, Biden nominated Phillip Washington to the post. The nomination expired without a confirmation hearing in the Senate Commerce Committee. Biden resubmitted Washington’s name last week. Washington, who led Biden’s post-election transition team for the department that Buttigieg now runs, had been CEO of Denver International Airport for a year when he was first nominated. He had previously been CEO of the Los Angeles County Metropolitan Transportation Authority and of the Denver Regional Transportation District. The nomination reportedly stalled over a corruption probe involving contracts awarded during his tenure in Los Angeles, though Cruz and others have also questioned his limited aviation experience. “The FAA does not run on autopilot. … It’s been nearly a year since the FAA has had a permanent administrator, and with the current nominee’s troubling résumé, the Biden administration seems to think this lack of qualified leadership can go on indefinitely,” Graves said. Buttigieg shot to prominence during the 2020 campaign, outlasting most rivals despite sniping over his inexperience at the state or federal level. But he electrified many Democrats in the primaries, and Biden found a place for him in the Cabinet. The Senate confirmed Buttigieg on an 86-13 vote two weeks after Biden took office. Texas’ other Republican senator, John Cornyn, supported Buttigieg’s confirmation. At the confirmation hearing, Cruz and Buttigieg clashed over climate change. The senator challenged the nominee over Biden’s decision to cancel the Keystone XL pipeline permit. A Cruz aide later explained the vote against confirmation as a rejection of Biden’s “radical energy policy” and of Buttigieg’s “lack of experience on most transportation issues.” ‘Not ready’ Conservative talking heads on Fox News had a field day at Buttigieg’s expense over the outage. Some mocked his promotion of scooters and bicycles when he was a mayor. Others suggested that Buttigieg treated the latest airline crisis as an opportunity to audition for president, and that one reason his department is flailing is that he’s been more focused on climate issues than ensuring reliable service for trains and planes. “Not ready for prime time,” Fox guest commentator Raymond Arroyo said. “His transportation experience was as mayor of South Bend. I had a kid who went to Notre Dame. His big introduction was Lime scooters, which the locals threw into the river. That was his transportation initiative, okay? It was a complete bomb.” [email protected], joseph.morton @dallasnews.com Twitter: @toddgillman, @ByJosephMorton Critics: Buttigieg lacks aviation chops Continued from Page 1A Photos by Liesbeth Powers/Staff Photographer Twanna Wiloth checked a departure board at Dallas Love Field for her flight to Atlanta after planes were grounded by the FAA earlier Wednesday.

The Dallas Morning News dallasnews.com E Thursday, January 12, 2023 9A I n no enterprise is the well-worn adage that time is money truer than in homebuilding. Developers and builders often pay millions of dollars upfront to start projects that may not reach fruition for years. In the interim, they sacrifice their own wealth and pay ever-increasing interest to banks. In today’s environment of high inflation and highinterest rates, minor delays on projects can be fatal. Although Texas’ low housing costs have been one of its most important strengths, bureaucratic delays are hampering building and pushing prices out of the range of ordinary renters and buyers. To restore Texas’ housing advantage, its cities must reform their rigid permitting practices. An abundance of evidence shows that delays drive up prices. One study out of Austin estimated that if the city actually held to its 120-day permitting mandate, it could shave 4% off of the rent in new apartments. Yet many of the state’s most promising places continue to drag their feet on permitting. Austin can take one to two years to review the plan of a new project. Builders of even small projects can ping-pong among 10 departments to get their permits.While city records of Dallas showed an average wait time of about 35 days for housing permits, a Dallas Builders Association survey found that over 80% took 10 weeks or more. Many of these permitting problems are completely unnecessary. Dallas’ permitting office uses two incompatible software systems, which means much of the data has to be entered twice. The city sometimes requires a separate stamped document for a permit, which is only available at a different location from the permitting office, and which is itself copied from antiquated microfiche. These delays are contributing to the state’s sky-high housing prices. While 10 years ago the median home in Dallas and Austin cost about three times the median resident’s income, today in Dallas it’s approaching five, and in Austin it’s over six. According to the real estate website Zillow, the median house price in Austin has more than doubled since 2014. There are many ways for Texas to speed development. In 2021 the state Legislature passed a law allowing independent engineers to perform building inspections after a disaster. Several Texas cities, such as Arlington and FortWorth, already allow builders to hire third-party reviewers or inspectors. Although some claim these programs allow private inspectors to cut corners, in fact, they are subject to more stringent standards than state employees. In FortWorth, government inspectors are immune from liability for most mistakes, while third-party inspectors face lawsuits if they fail in their duties. These thirdparty programs could be expanded, and the state could further encourage them. Other states are moving ahead on permitting reform. Florida passed several laws in recent years that allow developers to hire private plan reviewers and building inspectors and require local governments to offer refunds if they were slow in their own permits. After the refund law went into effect, Santa Rosa County went from issuing less than half of singlefamily home permits in 30 days to 100%, according to a report by the Foundation for Government Accountability. If Texas is going to restore its promise, it needs to reduce housing prices. And if Texas is going to reduce housing prices, it must reduce needless delays. These delays benefit no one and yet cost everyone, both time and money.With a few sensible reforms, Texas’ homes can become affordable again.

Doug Caldwell, Plano Frogs not alone In the most lopsided NCAA men’s basketball championship game in history, a little private school in North Carolina was humiliated in front of a national audience by a juggernaut known as University of Nevada, Las Vegas. The game was not even as close as the 103-73 final score appeared as the hapless losers were outmatched, overpowered and out of their element in every aspect of the game. Yes, those poor kids and their school went on to obscurity, their15minutes of fame gone forever. Well, not really. The team on the short end of the stick that forgettable night was Duke. Let that sink in, TCU. It’s not the end of the world. It just might be the beginning of a wonderful story. AndyWilliams,McKinney Bond spending out of hand Re: “Reducing property taxes really very simple — Texans must demand their lawmakers take action to relieve burden,” by Don Huffines, Sunday Opinion. Removing school funding from local property tax would result in approximately a 60% reduction in homestead tax bills. But I see a tugof-war between state and local control of spending. Texas cannot dictate city, county and school spending while preserving the freedom of elected officials to control their budgets. Another point is that existing election laws allow small groups of activist voters to approve bond spending deals that have pushed billions of dollars into contractors’ pockets at the longterm expense of resident taxpayers. The high school bleachers I grew up with have been replaced with underutilized $80 million sports arenas. I thinkTexas should require absolutemajorities of district voters for approval of bond debt. And what about over 1,000 “independent” school districts? Do we all need the highly paid bureaucracy of top officials? We also need uniformity of services: Texas cities and counties have a wide variance of staffing, services and tax rates thatmay fall far belownationaland regional norms, failing benchmark service levels to residentsandneveranynews, disclosure or public discussion about this. We may need much higher local tax rates for safe and quiet cities. JohnHelmer,McKinney What happenedtotax savings? Remember all the hoopla about the state agreeing to lower our property taxes? We were going to save money, and we were no longer going to be paying these astronomical amounts. Hurrah, hurrah, hurrah! I got my final tax bill from the county (remember the Dallas Central Appraisal District website was infected with ransomware). To my immense pleasure, I am telling everyone that I did save money. My total property tax bill came in a total of $12.48lower. I’m rich.

The crush of people wanting to crossinto our country that the conservatives decry is also a huge affirmation of hope in America. That crowd on our border that Gov.

David Randolph, Plano Thetwo sides of Jan. 6 Jan. 6 of this year provided a split-screen view of the commemoration of the attack on our nation’s Capitol and the chaotic election of the speaker of the House. On one side of the screen were those who risked their lives to protect our elected officials and our property and humble election officialswhowerevilified fordoing their jobs, and on the other we saw some current members of Congress who continue to pledge fealty to the former president who was instrumentalin causing theinsurrection. The contrast between public service and the quest for personal power was stark. Linda Johnson Arage,Waxahachie Deregulation hurts Southwest The unusual breakdown in flight operations by Southwest Airlines has been largely attributed to technology. I believe the real cause is regulation. Since the 1978 Airline Deregulation Act was enacted, the industry has experienced one crisis after another. Dallas-based Southwest has certainly been a success story, but because deregulation prioritized competition over basic publicservice standards, it was drawn into a financial contest with its peers. This required that it focus on reducing costs,and even delaying oravoiding certain capitalinvestments. As the U.S. Department of Transportation andCongress takea closerlookat this recentairline system chaos (and Congress, especially, is lobbied by consumer groups and labor), they may be forced to reconsider how the airline industry is regulated. This may involve establishing new system reliability standards, and especially, some resource “reserves” (like the banking industry was forced to do) that allow it to more reliably recover from external eventslike weather, or to operational issues like crewing and aircraft availability. Matthew G. Andersson, Clearwater, Fla. Lee Judge/King Features Syndicate LETTERS We’re in the sunny money days here in Texas it seems, even if the gray skies of recession and inflation are looming on the horizon. The main question state legislators will have to worry about now is how we spend it all. Hey, if you’ve got to have problems. Comptroller Glenn Hegar has set the state’s budget surplus at $32.7 billion, a record-setting amount flowing in from Texas’ continued growth, a spikein oil and gas revenues and, ahem, $8 billion in unspent federal stimulus. Lots of hands will be raised for some share of that money, with plenty of worthy causes and some not-so-worthy ones. Legislators need to approach their plans for the surplus with clear principles to avoid the bright, shiny things that too often tempt them. Principle one must be tax relief for Texans, and especially homeowners. In cities across the state, single-family homeowners are bearing the brunt of supporting local government and funding education. The Legislature delivered on serious tax relief in the last session, but the work isn’t done. Using the surplus to lower property tax bills while funding a greater share of the cost of education should be a priority. When it comes to spending remaining funds, the state needs to look at its future development and plan accordingly. Available water and water infrastructure are absolutely critical to our ability to continue to grow and prosper.Whether it is developing new water sources, using technology to slow water loss or repairing broken water systems, the state has to invest now in our future water needs. There will also be calls for technology investments and specifically broadband to build up rural Texans’ internet access. That is a valuable place to put resources to ensure that every part of our state has adequate connectivity to participate in the modern economy. Finally, education investment is an area where the state should spend surplus funds. That includes money that is tied to tax relief or not. Teachers need higher pay, while school districts need flexible funding to provide tutoring and other tools to help our students not only restore lost learning but advance in ways that we can measure. It’s going to be a long legislative session with plenty of nonsense and political posturing. Serious legislators must keep focused on ensuring that we use these flush times to prepare for the future, even as they recognize that many taxpayers have had enough. So, About That $33 Billion Surplus ... Dear Texas legislators: Take care of taxpayers but also invest for tomorrow Arenewed approach to fighting the fentanyl trade will be a welcome result of the North American Leaders Summit this week. Just a few days before the presidential meeting, Mexican authorities captured Ovidio Guzmán, a major fentanyl trafficker and a top figure in the Sinaloa cartel. Heis also the son of the notorious drug lord Joaquín “El Chapo” Guzmán. In practical terms, Ovidio Guzmán’s capture is more a token of good faith to Mexico’s international partners than a significant disruption of the fentanyl trade. But it could signal better cooperation with the U.S. in the war against synthetic opioids in the near future. If both countries are indeed building a “stronger partnership,” as President Joe Biden said onMonday, we also have an idea of what kind of strategy is on the table. Highlevel discussions involve plans for Mexico to tackle the fentanyl smuggled across the border and for the U.S. to bring down the number of guns trafficked into Mexico, according to Reuters, quoting unnamedMexican officials. This represents a remarkable change in policy on the Mexican side. Only in 2019, theWashington, D.C.-based think tank The Wilson Center pointed out in a report that Mexico’s government did not see fentanyl as an important issue and did not devote significant resources to disrupting this illegal trade. At the same time, Mexico’s president, Andrés Manuel López Obrador, rejected decades-old agreements to fight drug trafficking. The deterioration of bilateral cooperation contributed to the fentanyl boom. Although most of the synthetic drug manufacturing still happens in China, the cartels have taken notice. Fentanyl is cheap to produce, easy to smuggle and easy to market. It is also 50 times more potent than heroin and 100 times more potent than morphine, according to the U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration. This is a regional security issue that affects both countries differently. ForMexico, renewed cooperation will likely mean more violence. Twenty-nine people died, including 10 soldiers, during Ovidio Guzmán’s capture in the Mexican city of Culiacán. Still, this is a win for the Mexican government given that four years ago, Mexican forces had to free Guzmán after they were overpowered by his cartel. We can curb the fentanyl trade only if we pair enforcement at the border with a reduction in U.S. demand. Changing our pillpopping culture will be harder to achieve, but we need to try. Every seven minutes, one American dies of a fentanyl overdose, according to a Washington Post data analysis. At least two U.S. presidents, Barack Obama and Donald Trump, waited too long to act as the fentanyl trade slipped under their noses. But we can make progress if our leaders stop politicizing the issue. For example, Gov. Greg Abbott often puts fentanyl and illegal immigration in the same sentence even though 86% of convicted synthetic-opioids traffickers are U.S. citizens, and most seizures occur at legal crossing points. The fight against fentanyl will require a behemoth effort with federal and state authorities getting on the same page, but U.S. cooperation with Mexico is vital for this endeavor.

The Dallas Morning News dallasnews.com E Thursday, January 12, 2023 11A NATION & WORLD KYIV, Ukraine — The fate of a devastated salt-mining town in eastern Ukraine hung in the balance Wednesday as Ukraine said its forces were holding out against a furious Russian onslaught in one of the fiercest recent ground battles of the nearly 11-month war. Ukrainian and Russian forces fought street by street to hold or gain ground in Soledar, according to military analysts. The town’s fall, while unlikely to provide a turning point in the war, would be a prize for a Kremlin starved of good news from the battlefield in recent months. It would also offer Russian troops a strategic springboard for their efforts to conquer other areas of Donetsk province that remain under Ukrainian control. Donetsk and neighboring Luhansk province, which together make up the Donbas region bordering Russia, were Moscow’s main stated targets in invading Ukraine, but the fighting has stood mostly at a stalemate. The spokesman for Ukraine’s Eastern Group of Forces, Serhiy Cherevaty, said Wednesday that Russian claims of Soledar’s capture were “untrue,” Ukrainian news outlet Suspilne reported. Cherevaty offered no further details, saying only that the General Staff of Ukraine’s armed forces would provide more information later. The General Staff in its Wednesday morning update only listed Soledar among cities and towns that continue to be shelled by Russian forces. Late Tuesday, Yevgeny Prigozhin, the owner of the Wagner Group, a private Russian military contractor, claimed in audio reports posted on his Russian social media platform that his soldiers had seized control of Soledar. The Associated Press was unable to verify that claim.

Also, because Austin rents are so high that lawmakers are having trouble hiring staff members on the lean salaries they can offer, House members tweaked a “housekeeping resolution” to increase their office budgets. AUSTIN — The House on Wednesday sidestepped several proposals from the Republican majority’s right flank, including a demand that the chamber have no Democrats running committees and that it further push back on gay rights. If there are no special sessions, each state representative’s office will get nearly $219,000 this year, instead of almost $171,000 — a 28% boost. Typically, 80% of that money goes to salaries, with the rest covering such things as office rent, utilities and travel expenses. LEGISLATURE ’23 AUSTIN — Legislators will take up redistricting this session, opening up the possibility for Republicans to further redraw districts in their favor. The Texas Senate voted unanimously to take up redistricting, a once-in-a decade practice of redrawing political district boundaries to accommodate changes in population. The Legislature undertook the process in 2021, after 2020 census figures showed the state grew more than any other in the U.S. Many Democrats decried it as gerrymandering.

Lawmakers to reconsider redistricting Texas Senate unanimously decides to take another look at boundaries By PHILIP JANKOWSKI Austin Bureau [email protected] See STATE Page 6B The Dallas City Council voted Wednesday to delay a job review for City Attorney Chris Caso for the second time in five months, as Dallas continues to face high-profile legal battles defending new city rules that his office signed off on. The disputes stem from the city’s push to shut down poker houses, cut strip club operating hours and limit panhandling. The City Council discussed Caso’s performance review behind closed doors on Wednesday, then returned to public session three hours later. It’s unclear how long council members discussed Caso’s work, because his review was one of two topics on the council’s agenda for executive session. When council members returned to the dais, they voted to push back Caso’s evaluation to Jan. 25, without stating a reason. As Dallas city attorney, Caso is the third-highest-paid city employee making $325,000 annually overseeing an office this year with a nearly $21million budget and more than 160 workers. He was appointed interim city attorney in August 2018 and has held the position permanently since April 2020. Job review delayed, again DALLAS A winter warm spell is breaking heat records this week in North Texas. Temperatures soared into the 80s on Wednesday for the second consecutive day, triggering wildfire warnings. On Tuesday, the high at DFW International Airport hit 83 degrees, breaking the previous record of 79 degrees in 1995 and 2017, according to the National Weather Service. Wednesday’s high reached 85 degrees, topping the previous record of 83 degrees set in 1911. Dry, southwest winds combined with sunny skies have caused the unseasonably warm front to linger over Dallas-Fort Worth, said Patricia Sanchez, a meteorologist with the weather service in Fort Worth. And with that low humidity, authorities warned of an elevated risk for wildfires. Crews responded to a 240- acre fire late Tuesday in Montague County in North Texas. The blaze was roughly 85% under control by midWednesday morning, the Texas A&M Forest Service reported on Twitter. “We’re asking everyone to watch out for wildfires,” Sanchez said. “They can quickly spread with these conditions and easily get out of control.” The heat is expected to break by Thursday morning, as a weak Pacific cool front pushes into North Texas. Thursday’s forecast calls for highs in the upper 50s.

The leaders of Texas’ six biggest university systems want lawmakers to funnel nearly $1 billion into higher education as the Legislature considers what to do with the $32.7 billion state surplus. In exchange for more state funding, the system chancellors are vowing to hold tuition rates flat across their schools for all undergraduates for the next two years. The six system leaders outlined a series of investment propositions to Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, House Speaker Dade Phelan and two legislative budget writers in a December letter, according to a copy obtained by The Dallas Morning News.

About 10 years ago, when Bailey faced prison time after an arrest on drug charges, a court-appointedattorneyasked her a simple question: “Do you need help?” Now 63, Bailey is sober and working with victims of trafficking and sexual exploitation. In December, she graduated with a bachelor’s degree in sociology from the University of North Texas at Dallas. The Dallas woman shared her storyWednesday—National Human Trafficking AwarenessDay—ata roundtablewith Republican Texas Sen. John Cornyn, Dallas County District Attorney JohnCreuzot and other electedleaders. “I knew there was another purpose for my life,” Bailey said. “The streets felt natural to me, but I knew therewas something different out there.” Cornyn recently coauthored legislation with Democratic Minnesota Sen. Amy Klobuchar to reauthorize the Abolish Human Trafficking Act, which provides tens of millions of dollars to law enforcement and social-service agencies to combat trafficking. The law has been in place since 2018. Awareness of sexual trafficking has grown immensely in recent years, heightened by a handful of high-profile cases. Last year, a 15-year-old girl disappeared from a Dallas Mavericks game at American Airlines Center and was found a few days later in Oklahoma City; three peoplewerearrested on charges of human trafficking. Texas is home to an estimated 313,000 victims of human trafficking, including 79,000 children, according to the University ofTexas’ Institute onDomestic Violence and Sexual Assault. And Dallas-Fort Worth, which sitsat the cross-section of numerous major highways, is a hotspot for trafficking, officials saidWednesday. “It is one of the most underreported crimes,” Cornyn said. “It’s a global scourge.” In addition to providing additional funding, the law establishes confidentiality protections for victims, prioritizes cybersecurity enforcement, helps victims who have documentation stolenand seeks toimprove data collection. Bianca Davis, CEO of New Friends New Life, a Dallasbased organization that helps victims of trafficking, saidfighting sexual exploitation and trafficking requires a multifaceted approach. “We know sex trafficking does not happen in a vacuum,” said Davis, adding that issues such as homelessness, poverty, domestic violence and lack of education contribute. Bailey, who underwent a sixmonth stint in drug treatment before becoming sober, now works as an economic empowerment specialist for New FriendsNew Life. Young victims often tell her they are too broken or damaged to change theirlives. “You’re never too old,” she said she tells them. “Your past does not define your future.” Twitter:@sarahbfw Cornyn calls trafficking ‘a global scourge’ ROUNDTABLE Senator, others mark national awareness day with stories of hope By SARAH BAHARI Staff Writer [email protected] JOHN CORNYN FARNORTHDALLAS Police:Manfoundshottodeathinparkinglot Amanwas found fatally shotina FarNorthDallas parking lotTuesday night, police say.

Public-private partnerships will have to be the cornerstone for this initiative,” Dallas Park and Recreation Board President Arun Agarwal said in a press release. “The Dallas Park and Recreation Board is thrilled to help build a new 18-acre Community Park with our partner Fair Park First. The design team for this is world-class, and the process has been very inclusive. This park truly encompasses amenities that will benefit the community for decades to come.” So far, about $25 million has been raised by Fair Park First for the Fair Park master plan with a goal of $93 million. One of the renderings, previously published by The News, shows a bird’s-eye view of walking trails and greenspace, an outdoor market and the allages, all-abilities children’s park, which was fully funded by the Rees-Jones Foundation in December. The park is to include WiFi, water play, outdoor cafes and diverse nativelandscaping. Fair Park First has led the initiative to rebuild Fair Park and mend relationships between the park and its South Dallas neighbors. According to The News’ reporting, the park is to open in 2024. Twitter: SriyaReddy23 City officials plan to reveal new street signs in northwest Dallas this week to recognize the Korean American community’s decades-long contributions to the city’s Koreatown. New signs on Royal Lane, Harry Hines Boulevard and Newkirk Street will display street names in English and in Korean, according to a flier for an unveiling event scheduled for noon Friday. Although many people know the area as “K-town,” there is not an official designation. John Lee, board member of the Greater Dallas Korean American Chamber of Commerce, has been spearheading the push to get the city to approve street toppers that read “Koreatown” for a stretch of Royal Lane. He said the new road signs are the first step toward an official designation from the city. “We actually refer to it as a declaration,” Lee said. “We’re very happy.” Dallas City Council member Omar Narvaez, whose district encompasses the area, has said that he wanted an official Koreatown designation for the area in “early 2023.” Narvaez will be attending Friday’s ceremony, which will be at the intersection of Royal Lane and Harry Hines Boulevard. Friday also marks the 120th anniversary of the first Korean immigrants to arrive in the U.S. Charles Park, a longtime advocate for the Korean American community in North Texas, said he could not have imagined seeing road signs in Dallas that display the Korean language. “I think its really welcoming to have something like that in Dallas,” Park said.

Lee, a Fort Worth native and civil rights leader, was instrumental in establishingJuneteenthasa federalholiday. “Thankfully, the development of the new museummeant all of the artifacts were out,” the FireDepartment said on socialmedia. Originally a Texas holiday, Juneteenth commemorates the day when news of the Emancipation Proclamation reached Galveston on June 19, 1865, 21 ⁄2 years after it was signed.

The Dallas Morning News dallasnews.com Thursday, January 12, 2023 3B Business Tenant’s expansion fills West End building Architect Corgan has grown its space in The Luminary building in Dallas’ West End district to more than 98,000 square feet. 4B ONLINE: Stay on top of breaking business and real estate news with our free newsletters. Sign up at dallasnews.com/newsletters. Southern Methodist University’s former Plano site is getting an overhaul to become a 204,000-square-foot creative office and tech hub called Elevar. The 16-acre redeveloped office campus, at 5228 Tennyson Parkway in the booming Legacy business park, is slated for completion between July and September. Alvarez and Marsal Capital Real Estate, part of El Segundo, Calif.-based Alvarez and Marsal, has taken on the project that sits between the Dallas North Tollway and Preston Road. The four-building site could work for one user or groups looking for either a 50,000- square-foot building or 20,000-square-foot floors. Elevar will include a training and conference center with seating for over 40 guests, a bistro lounge with grab-and-go service and a fitness center with cardio equipment and weight machines. It will also have fiber-optic internet connectivity and electric vehicle charging stations. The office’s exterior will have over an acre of space that will include public and private tenant patios or terraces with collaborative work and play areas. Elevar will be the first of its kind in Plano’s office submarket, said Clint Madison of real estate services firm Cushman & Wakefield in the announcement. Cushman & Wakefield will lead leasing efforts for the project. “This concept is completely new to the North Texas office market and will meet the demand for companies looking for a unique, creative setting with best-in-class amenities,” Madison said. The campus was previously used by Electronic Data Systems before it was remodeled for SMU’s graduate video game development program, the Center for Family Counseling and the Center for Dispute Resolution and Conflict Management. SMU moved these programs back to its main campus in University Park. SMU decided to sell the campus, called SMU in Plano, in early 2018. In September 2019, it was acquired by a partnership headed by Dallas developer Trammell Crow Co. In October 2021, it was sold to a California investor. Twitter: @NatalieReporter Former SMU in Plano site getting redesign REDEVELOPMENT Building in Legacy business park will be an office, tech hub By NATALIE WALTERS Money Reporter [email protected] Cushman & Wakefield A rendering shows Elevar, the new creative office and tech hub that will open in Plano after its redevelopment is complete, which is expected late summer. For the second yearin a row, new retail construction was well below the past decade’s annual average. A total of 538,700 square feet was added in store remodeling projects and shopping center redevelopments in 2022, mostly from grocery retailers H-E-B, Sprouts Farmers Market and Brookshire’s, according to a Weitzman report released Tuesday. That level was below the annual average of more than 1 million square feet. D-FW’s retail occupancy of available space hit a historic high last year and was above 94% for the first time since 1990 when Weitzman began collecting data on local shopping centers. The trend of fewer new developments and redeveloping existing space both contributed to that high. The local retail real estate market continued to rebound from the pandemic with an occupancy rate of 94.4%, said Bob Young, executive managing director of the firm. The historic low point of 82.1% was in1990. The recovery from the pandemic also reflects the retailindustry’s recognition that it needs both physical and digital storefronts,Young said. “Brickand-mortar retail proved to be more essential than ever thanks to the industry’s ability to transform with tech and mortar,” Young’s term for the seamless mix of physical and digital retail. The pandemic forced retailers to do a better job of using their stores, which are closer to where customers live, to fulfill online orders. Based on what’s in the pipeline for 2023, new construction will likely top 1 million square feet again, Young said.

Grocers pushed growth in ’22 By MARIA HALKIAS Staff Writer [email protected] See RETAIL Page 6B One of Uptown Dallas’ newest and most successful towers could soon be for sale. The Link at Uptown is a 25-story building at 2601 Olive St., just north of downtown. Opened early last year, the high-rise is almost fully rented due to a flurry of recent leasing. The building was developed byDallas’KaizenDevelopment Partners. There are unconfirmed reports that the tower has been marketed to potential buyers. The almost 300,000- square-foot tower was recently offered to buyers by commercial property firm Newmark Group. The sale listing was first reported by Real Estate Alert. Newmark Group officials would not confirm that the propertyis for sale. The tower could fetch as much as $250 million, or more than $850 per square foot, according to the report. That would be a record price for a Dallas office. Word of the potential sale comes after a Decemberlease to law firm McGuireWoods took one of the last available spaces in the tower. Other tenants in the office high-rise include financial firm Houlihan Lokey, PMG Worldwide, Shearman & Sterling and Newmark Group. The Link listing follows the recent record sale of Uptown’s McKinney & Olive tower complex on McKinney Avenue.

Architect Corgan has grown its space in The Luminary building in Dallas’ West End district. The firm now occupies more than 98,000 square feet in the building, which opened on Houston Street in 2019. Corgan occupies all of the adjoining office building. “As Corgan embarks on our 85th year in business, we are thrilled to expand our headquarters at The Luminary to support the overall growth of the firm,” Corgan CEO Scott Ruch said in a statement. “2022 was an incredible year of development for us, both locally and globally, this expansion allows us to keep adding great talent.” Dallas commercial property firm Harwood International acquired the seven-story Luminary building last summer. The office was developed by Crescent Real Estate in partnership with Long Wharf Capital LLC. The Luminary was just under 70% leased when it sold. Since then, the vacant space in the building has been taken by Lerma Advertising and legal services firm Calloquy PBC. “The leasing success since July of last year proves that there is continued demand for office space in Dallas,” Harwood International’s Steven Hall said in a statement. “Our teams have been successful in identifying assets where we can execute our business plan, and we are actively seeking more Class A office that meets our criteria.” Greg Biggs and Randy Cooper of Stream Realty Partners negotiated the new Corgan lease with Harwood International’s Kelly Whaley and Hannah Mesh. The Luminary was just one of several downtown Dallas buildings that traded in 2022. Net office leasing in Dallas’ central business district totaled about 710,000 square feet last year, according to fourth-quarter estimates by Transwestern.

However, those U.S. airlines are offering about 30% fewer flights and seats to China, according to Diio by Cirium. Starting in March, Atlantabased Delta Air Lines will start flying to Beijing Daxing and Shanghai from both Detroit and Seattle. During the same month, Chicago-based United will start flying from five cities in the U.S. to as many as three destinations in China, including Shanghai, Beijing and Chengdu. American has been themost conservative of the three U.S. network carriers in resuming flights to China. Before the COVID-19 pandemic, American flew to Hong Kong, Shanghai and Beijing from DFW and Los Angeles. American had hoped to start the DFW to Beijing Daxing flights in March 2021, but those plans were put on hold amid lingering travel restrictions there. American doesn’t have any flights on its schedule from Los Angeles to China, although there are hopes to start a longdelayed flight from Seattle to Shanghai in October. That, once again, makes DFW the centerpiece ofAmerican Airlines’ Asia strategy, a plan it launched in 2020 but has had to hold back during the COVID-19 pandemic. Before this month, passengers flying into China were required to quarantine for 10 days after arrival, a major barrier for business and leisure travelers. Even though China has lowered restrictions, passengers from the U.S. are still required to test negative for COVID-19 up to 48 hours before boarding their flight to China. In turn, the U.S. requires a negative COVID-19 test within 48 hours of boarding to reenter the U.S. from China, according to the State Department. The U.S. State Department still has a “reconsider travel” advisory for visiting China. With a surge in leisure flying in 2022, American Airlines is also planning to expand its international schedule in 2023 with flights from DFW to Tokyo, Paris and Rome.

Starry will be available nationwide this week. It will be up against Sprite, which has captured 7% share of the $82 billion U.S. soda market. Sierra Mist never made a considerable dent in the softdrink category, only accounting for 0.2% of Pepsi’s 2022 earnings, according to Gerald Pascarelli, a consumer equity researcher at Wedbush Securities. For the same year, Sierra Mist’s share of the soft-drink market was 0.1%, he added. PepsiCo is “not going to lose a significant amount of revenue” with the loss of Sierra Mist, Pascarelli said.

Every life has a value. Also, due to health risks to the pets, we recommend puppies and kittens are at least 8-12 weeks old before they are sold. Use caution when responding to pet ads that involve unusual payment plans or require longdistance shipping. Find your pet from a trustworthy source. If purchasing from a private party or breeder, ask to see where the pets live to ensure the environment is a clean and healthy one. Reputable breeders will almost always provide detailed genealogical information and a health guarantee.

Big entertainment-focused concepts will open in Allen, Fort Worth and Grand Prairie. Young expects supply and demand for retail real estate to remainin balance. He was speaking at Tuesday’s Weitzman D-FW retail real estate conference, which was held at the George W. Bush Presidential Centerin University Park. More than 300 people werein attendance. Neighborhood retail Founder Herb Weitzman also interviewed Michael Levy, CEO of Dallas-based Crow Holdings, on stage during the event. Levy said grocery-anchored retail is one of the most stable sectors, but he’s worried about other retailers. He mentioned Bed Bath & Beyond’s new warning that it may be filing for bankruptcy and the recent news that Galleria Dallasis going back toitslenders. Levy’s Crow Holdings set up a couple of funds in 2015 to go after the niche of small retail neighborhood centers. The capital markets weren’t interested in funding retail real estate, Levy said, and Crow was able to snatch up some stronglocations in upscale neighborhoods anchored by smaller boxes such as a Starbucks and a cupcake and sandwich shop. Crow now has 190 such neighborhood retail properties across the U.S., and those properties continue to do well, he said. Occupancy rates Demand for retail real estate is going to stay strong,Levy said, because people will continue to move to Texas, even more so than Florida because of the Lone Star State’s available land. But retail development needs to stayin check, Levy said, because more shopping will continue to shift to online. “We can’t fight those secular trends.” Weitzman’s annual report surveys 1,400 shopping centers with a total of nearly 200 million square feet of store space in D-FW. All types of shopping centers — community grocery-anchored properties, neighborhood unanchored properties, malls, mixed-use properties and power centers anchored by big box retailers — had occupancy rates of more than 90%, Young said. D-FW’s biggest retail category, the grocer-anchored community centers that dot the region, had an occupancy rate of 95.2%. Local malls posted a slightly improved occupancy rate of 90.7%. Twitter:@MariaHalkias Retail occupancy in D-FW hits high Continued from Page 3B districting violated the Texas Constitution. At the heart of their challenge was a matter of timing and COVID-19. The state constitution requires the Legislature to redraw district lines for the state’s 31 senators and 150 House representatives in the first regular session following the once-a-decade census. However, because of pandemic-related issues, the U.S. Census Bureau issued the population count several months late. That led to the Legislature taking up the issue during a special session. The provision does not apply to congressional seats, and Texas’ 38 congressional seats will not be affected, multiple senators confirmed. “We won on the law, and now we are having a do-over,” Eckhardt said. After the GOP-led effort tilted the effort further in favor of Republicans in the House and Senate, Gutierrez and Eckhardt sued with a focus on a Fort Worth district that was radically changed to favor a Republican. Midterms took place with new district lines that critics argued gave no further representation to non-white voters, who fueled about 95% of Texas’ population growth between 2010 and 2020, according to the census. Redistricting experts have described what took place as a “defensive gerrymander.” Republicans largely shored up their advantages in districts that had been growing more Democratic. The process resultedinmakingmost of Texas’ districts noncompetitive election contests between the two parties. The House did not take any action regarding redistricting Wednesday. Gutierrez said he expects senators to approve exactly the same district boundaries for their chamber as the ones they approved in 2021. Gutierrez said that was evidenced by the Senate drawing lots to determine which senators would serve two-year terms and which would serve four-year terms to stagger elections after all seats were up for election last year because the districts were redrawn. “Now that we have drawn straws, the die has been cast,” he said, noting that anyone who drew a four-year term likely would fight a redistricting process that would require them all to run for election again in 2024. (Gutierrez drew a four-year term.) “I do not believe a can of worms will be opened,” he said. The House will not be encumbered by any of those pressures. All seats are up for election every two years. Twitter: @PhilJankowski State senators seek map do-over Continued from Page 1B Quashed on parliamentary grounds Wednesday were rules changes backed by a small number of the chamber’s most hardline GOP members that would have required House committee chairs to state in writing their positions on LGBTQ issues such as whether they “believe there are only two genders.” One would have barred a committee chairperson from enforcing any speech code that “restricts the use of biologically correct pronouns.” Another would have prohibited any House member or employee from putting preferred pronouns at the end of a work email. Other unsuccessful proposals would have barred lawmakers from doing one of their favorite things — naming roads and bridges after people — until the state outlaws gender-affirming health care for transgender youth and bars minors from attending “drag queen performances.” Yet another rules change dumped for violating House procedures would have required a committee chair to declare on official stationery whether he or she “supports Marxism or not.” In each instance, Speaker Dade Phelan, R-Beaumont, scuttled the proposal by upholding “points of order.” That allowed mainstream Republicans not to have to take record votes. Protest plan stumped The failure of staunchly conservative Republicans to embed antiLGBTQ sentiments in the chamber’s rules may show there is little appetite to make debates on gay and transgender rights a top priority in a session in which property taxes and divvying up a $33 billion revenue surplus are likely to take center stage. As the debate went on, freshman Rep. Venton Jones, D-Dallas, said he was not surprised amendments raising such hot-button issues were offered. Jones, among three new openly LGBTQ lawmakers, said one reason he ran was because of the rising attacks against LGBTQ Texans. “Unfortunately, with the end of today, that’s not going to be the end of the attacks,” he said. “There’s a level of optimism that exists because these [amendments] are failing. So that is inspiring, and I think it’s the reason that we’re going to keep fighting on this.” In recent years, the House rules debate has become more mired in culture-war controversies and GOP dissidents’ proposals to lessen the leadership’s power. This year’s lasted longer than usual — in part because conservatives misgauged when it would happen. Expecting the House to take up the rules resolution Thursday, the Republican Party of Texas,Wise County Conservatives and other hard-line conservative groups organized buses to take citizens to Austin. In recent days, GOP activists eager to make one of the state party’s legislative priorities a reality — that legislative leaders name no Democratic chairs — made preparations to protest. Late Tuesday afternoon, though, Phelan distributed a memo telling the chamber’s 150 members that the rules and housekeeping resolutions would be taken up Wednesday. Early in Wednesday’s debate, Royse City GOP Rep. Bryan Slaton urged the House to postpone the debate until Thursday — presumably so the protesting bus passengers could pack the gallery. Phelan wouldn’t recognize Slaton for the motion. Fort Worth GOP Rep. Charlie Geren, a Phelan ally who all day long played a lead role in killing the GOP dissidents’ proposals, rushed to point out that a work schedule couldn’t be determined until the House selected a speaker on opening day. Within hours of his election Tuesday afternoon, Phelan set housekeeping and rules resolutions for floor debate on Wednesday, Geren explained. Timing of the rules debate has varied, Phelan said, who reeled off dates in sessions going back to 2009. “Members, the rules are taken [up] at different times depending on that session,” he said. “It was not my decision until I was speaker of the House.” Push to punish Democrats Later, when Slaton was recognized on his proposal to bar Phelan from appointing Democrats to run committees, six other Republicans signed on. Four of them, like Slaton, are from North Texas— Brian Harrison ofMidlothian, Richard Hayes of Denton, Nate Schatzline of FortWorth and losing speaker candidate Tony Tinderholt of Arlington. Geren, though, noted that in passing their housekeeping just a short time before, House lawmakers had added a paragraph claiming the Texas Constitution bars use of “House resources,” including “appropriated funds,” to “further any political purpose.” But the constitutional provision cited bars giving grants of public funds to individuals, associations and corporations. It doesn’t mention politics. Phelan insisted members had just “codified” the Constitution’s “rule” against political use of funds, which he said the #NoDemChairs proposal would violate. He upheld Geren’s objection, which killed Slaton’s proposal. State GOP ChairmanMatt Rinaldi, a former state representative from Irving, scoffed at Phelan’s logic. “This baseless & absurd ruling was made solely to protect Democrat power,” Rinaldi tweeted. Among those relieved by Phelan’s move, though, may have been some freshmen who, while campaigning last year, endorsed a ban on Democrats’ being committee chairs. Phelan’s team came into Wednesday’s debate prepared to assuage fervent Republicans who have demanded that Democrats who broke quorum in 2021 — to stall passage of a GOPbacked “election security” bill — be punished. Rules resolution author Rep. Todd Hunter, a veteran Republican from Corpus Christi, sought to pass disincentives. His amendment succeeded, mostly along party lines, 87-59. Under the Hunter provision, if members are absent without leave — something granted only by a majority vote — they can be punished. But the absence must be “for the purpose of impeding the action of the House,” the rule says. Such an AWOL member “is subject to one or more of the following” sanctions — fines of $500 a day; a bill for part of the costs of sending the House sergeant-at-arms in search of missing members; and a reprimand, censure or expulsion. Fines couldn’t be paid out of campaign funds or House office accounts. Freshman Rep. Jolanda Jones, DHouston, objected. “What if you’re poor,” she said. “What if you don’t have a big bank account? … I had hoped, to bein the Legislature, you wouldn’t have to be rich and that poor people could get elected and have constituents.” Protest moves such as the Democrats’ 2021quorum break are constitutionally protected free speech, said Jones, who also questioned a provision saying that if fines are not paid by AWOL members, the House Administration Committee could direct the House business office to deduct monthly office stipends by 30%. Referring to the new GOP majority in the U.S. House and its discussion of rule changes making it easier to oust Speaker Kevin McCarthy, Tinderholt offered a Texas version. His amendment would lower the threshold needed to start a debate of whether to “vacate the chair.” In Austin currently, 76 of the House’s 150 members must agree before a debate on decapitating the speaker can begin. Tinderholt, noting the U.S. House has reduced the threshold to one member, argued for taking it to five members in Texas. Members shot down the idea, 146-3.

OBITUARIES/METRO ROME — Pope Francis on Wednesday paid tribute to Cardinal George Pell, who spent 404 days in solitary confinement in his native Australia before his child sex convictions were overturned, praising his diligence in reforming the Vatican’s finances and his faith “even in the hour of trial.” Francis sent a telegram of condolences to the head of the College of Cardinals, expressing his “sadness” over Pell's death and relaying his prayers and sympathy to the Australian prelate's family. Pell died Tuesday in Rome, where he had attended the funeral last week of Pope Benedict XVI. Pell suffered fatal heart complications following hip surgery, said Archbishop Peter Comensoli, Pell’s successor as archbishop of Melbourne. He was 81. He was a divisive figure. He lived to see Vatican rivals charged with financial crimes after he worked to reform the Holy See's finances. In Australia, he was a lightning rod for disagreements over whether the Catholic Church had been properly held to account for historic child sex abuse. Sydney Catholic Archbishop Anthony Fisher told reporters the death had come as a shock. “It will be for historians to assess his impact on the life of the church in Australia and beyond, but it was considerable and will be long lasting,” Fisher said. “For many people, particularly of the Catholic faith, this will be a difficult day and I express my condolences to all those who aremourning today,” said Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese. Fisher said a requiem for Pell would be held at St. Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican in the next few days, and in time his body would be brought back to Australia for a funeral Mass and buried in the crypt at St. Mary’s Cathedral in Sydney. Pell, the former archbishop of Melbourne and Sydney, became the third-highest ranked official in the Vatican after Pope Francis tapped him in 2014 to reform the Vatican’s notoriously opaque finances as the Holy See’s first-ever finance czar. He spent three years as prefect of the newly created Secretariat for the Economy, where he tried to impose international budgeting, accounting and transparency standards. But Pell returned to Australia in 2017 in an attempt to clear his name of child sex charges dating from his time as archbishop. A Victoria state County Court jury convicted him of molesting two 13-year-old choirboys at St. Patrick’s Cathedral in the late1990s shortly after he had become archbishop of Melbourne. An initial trial had ended in a jury deadlock. Pell served 404 days in solitary confinement before the fullbench of the High Court unanimously overturned his convictions in 2020 on appeal. The High Court found there was reasonable doubt surrounding the testimony of the main witness, now the father of a young family aged in his 30s, who said Pell had abused him and another choirboy. In the telegram, Francis praised Pell’s consistent dedication to the church “and particularly the diligent cooperation given to the Holy Seein the context of its recent economic reform, of which he laid the foundation with determination and wisdom.” Francis said he was praying for the “faithful servant who has followed his Lord with perseverance even in the hour of trial.” Pell was born on June 8, 1941, the eldest of three children to a heavyweight champion boxer and publican also named George Pell, an Anglican. His mother, Margaret Lillian (nee Burke), was from an Irish Catholic family. He grew up in the Victorian regional town of Ballarat. fordability for students and their families this legislative session,” he said. Steep cost increases due to inflation, supply-chain delays and skilled labor shortages are burdening universities as they try to provide “more personal, hands-on support and technology services to meet the needs of today’s students,” the chancellors argue. Affordability is key Students need advising, tutoring and mental health services on top of high-quality teaching to help ensure retention and graduation, they stressed. The systems’ schools are mainly funded through state support and student tuition and fees. In order to “ensure affordability” and avoid raising costs for Texas families, the system leaders requested about $352 million, or nearly a 7% increase, in the money distributed through a funding formula for instruction, campuses or university buildings and research. During the last session, lawmakers created a program to funnel additional money toward regional public universities and provided one year of federal funding for such schools. Chancellors are now proposing an additional investment of $80 million in those schools, which would provide two years of funding “to help at-risk students graduate and enter the workforce.” The chancellors also requested the state’s help to cover the costs of the Hazlewood Legacy Program, which offers free tuition to qualifying Texas military veterans and their families. In 2021, institutions waived $176.4 million in costs for qualifying veterans and their children. However, the state only reimbursed them for 13% of that cost, according to the letter. Where money goes In order to avoid “unduly penalizing tuition-paying students” and to start off each biennium without a funding deficit caused by such expenses, they proposed that the state fully reimburse the schools an estimated $276 million for the program. Lastly, the chancellors want the state to provide $290 million to cover more of their employees’ health insurance costs. The letter concludes that although the proposal only addresses universities, the systems with health-related institutions also request similar increases in their funding formulas.

Twitter: @ValeriaOliEsc Tuition rates would freeze for 2 years Continued from Page 1B NEW YORK — Jeff Beck, a guitar virtuoso who pushed the boundaries of blues, jazz and rock ’n’ roll, influencing generations of shredders along the way and becoming known as the guitar player’s guitar player, has died. He was 78. Beck died Tuesday after “suddenly contracting bacterial meningitis,” his representatives said in a statement released Wednesday. The location was notimmediately known. “Jeff was such a nice person and an outstanding iconic, genius guitar player — there will never be another Jeff Beck,” Tony Iommi, guitarist for Black Sabbath wrote on Twitter, among the many tributes. Beck first came to prominence as a member of the Yardbirds and then went out onhis ownina solocareer that incorporated hard rock, jazz, funky blues and even opera. He was known for his improvising, love ofharmonicsand thewhammybar on his preferred guitar, the Fender Stratocaster. “JeffBeckis the best guitar player on the planet,” Joe Perry, lead guitarist of Aerosmith, toldThe New York Times in 2010. “Heis head, hands and feet above all the rest of us, with the kind of talent that appears only once every generation or two.” Beck was among the rock-guitarist pantheon from the late ’60s that included Eric Clapton, Jimmy Page and Jimi Hendrix. He won eight Grammy Awards and was inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame twice — once with the Yardbirds in 1992 and again as a solo artist in 2009. He was ranked fifth in Rolling Stone magazine’slist of the “100 Greatest Guitarists ofAllTime.” “Jeff could channel music from the ethereal,” Page tweetedWednesday. Beck played guitar with vocalists as variedasLucianoPavarotti,MacyGray, Chrissie Hynde, Joss Stone, Imelda May, Cyndi Lauper, Wynonna Judd, Buddy Guy and Johnny Depp. He made two records with Rod Stewart — 1968’s Truth and 1969’s Beck-Ola — and one with a 64-piece orchestra, Emotion& Commotion. “I like an element of chaos in music. That feeling is the best thing ever, as long as you don’t have too much of it. It’s got to be in balance. I just saw Cirque du Soleil, and it struck me as complete organized chaos,” he told Guitar World in 2014. “If I could turn that into music, it’s not far away from whatmy ultimate goal would be, which is to delight people with chaos and beauty at the same time.” Beck’s career highlights include joining with bassist Tim Bogert and drummerCarmineAppice to create the power trio that released Beck, Bogert and Appice in 1973; tours with Brian Wilson and Buddy Guy; and a tribute album to the late guitarist Les Paul, Rock ’n’ Roll Party (Honoring Les Paul). Beck’s album credits include Talking Book, Stevie Wonder’s landmark 1972 album.His tenderly rendered guitar solo on the ballad, “Lookin’ For Another Pure Love” won him a warm “Do it Jeff ” callout from Wonder that was included on the album cut. Geoffrey Arnold Beck was born in Surrey, England, and attended Wimbledon Art College. His father was an accountant, and his mother worked in a chocolate factory.Asa boy, he built his first instrument, using a cigar box, a picture frame for the neck and string from a radio-controlled toy airplane. He was in a few bands — including Nightshift and The Tridents — before joining theYardbirdsin1965, replacing Clapton but only a yearlater giving way to Page. During his tenure, the band created the memorable singles “Heart Full of Soul,” “I’m a Man” and “Shapes ofThings.” Beck’s first hit single was 1967’s instrumental “Beck’s Bolero,” which featured future Led Zeppelin members Page and John Paul Jones, and The Who drummer KeithMoon. Beck was friends with Hendrix, and they performed together. Before Hendrix, most rock guitar players concentrated on a similar style and technical vocabulary.Hendrix blew that apart. “He came along and reset all of the rules in one evening,” Beck told Guitar World. Beckis survived by his wife, Sandra.

City Manager T.C. Broadnax, for example, was given a 3% raise by the council weeks after a public attempt byMayor Eric Johnson and other council members to fire him. Caso has been licensed as an attorney in Texas since 1985, was first hired by the city in 2005 and worked his way up from assistant city attorney representing the city in court cases and trials, including property and contract disputes. The City Attorney’s Office oversees drafting ordinances and resolutions, providing legal advice to the City Council and city departments, defending the city against litigation, as well as pursuing lawsuits meant to improve residents’ quality of life, among other duties. The City Council has not publicly said why they have repeatedly delayed Caso’s performance evaluation. He said during a September council budget meeting that elected officials raised concerns about prosecutions of code violations under his watch, saying they needed to be resolved more quickly. Budget increase In response, the council approved shifting more money to his office to hire four more community prosecutors. The community prosecution division is the city’s civil law enforcement arm, which upholds city ordinances and state nuisance laws. According to budget documents, the City Attorney’s Office wanted to prosecute 160,000 citations last fiscal year. But by September, the end of the fiscal year, the tally was expected to be 54,348. A recent city audit found two southern Dallas-based community court programs meant to aid and rehabilitate residents accused of low-level offenses have such poor recordkeeping and oversight that it’s hard to determine if they’re working as intended. They are both overseen by the CityAttorney’s Office. And then there are the legal challenges the city is facing on three fronts. The City Council last January approved banning strip clubs and all other sexually oriented businesses from being open between 2 a.m. and 6 a.m., citing violent crime that mostly occurs overnight near strip clubs. A federal lawsuit against Dallas followed and led to the city holding off on enforcing the ban. A judge that May ruled in favor of several businesses suing the city and barred the city from regulating sexually oriented businesses’ operating hours. The city is appealing the ruling. The cityis also facing several lawsuits after approving and later banning poker clubs from legally operating in Dallas. City attorneys and building officials argued they misinterpreted the state’s law on gambling until 2021and erroneously issued certificates of occupancy to poker businesses that year. Three of them operate in Dallas. Legality of poker Caso publicly told council members during a 2019 meeting that the poker businesses were legal, which has been cited in legal arguments by operators as why they believe the city was wrong to revoke or discontinue to grant certifications. A Dallas board of adjustment panel last year allowed two poker businesses to keep operating by overturning the city’s decision to revoke the poker clubs’ certificates of occupancy. The city has since sued the citizen board and the two businesses. Taxpayer dollars are being spent to represent both sides in the two lawsuits that have been filed against the board of adjustment. A judge at the end of last year ruled in favor of the city’s decision to revoke one business’ certification, which will be appealed. The City Council could decide later this month whether to spend up to $600,000 in legal fees continuing to sue and defend the board of adjustment. Meanwhile, the city has also sued the third poker business, citing code violations in an attempt to shut it down and three other lawsuits have been filed against Dallas by poker businesses that were denied certificates of occupancy after the city reversed its stance on whether the establishments were legal. The city was also sued last month over a new ordinance that subjects people to fines up to $500 for standing on road medians. The Dallas restriction was approved by the City Council in October and bans pedestrians from standing or walking on roadway medians less than 6 feet wide, in the middle of streets without medians and in clear zones like bike lanes and road shoulders. Median ban The City Attorney’s Office since at least 2021 has publicly presented the restriction as a way to address complaints stemming from people panhandling while on the dividing strip or in the middle of streets where there is no median. It was rebranded by city officials in the months leading up to the City Council’s Oct. 26 approval as being driven by pedestrian traffic safety concerns. The lawsuit argues the median ban is unconstitutional and will disproportionately impact homeless residents. Twitter:@EvertonBailey City Council delays job review by 2 weeks Continued from Page 1B

A dozen students were hospitalized, a Heath parent told The Dallas Morning News on Wednesday, after the workout, which included close to 400 push-ups in a 60-minute window. Two other parents confirmed the workout Tuesday and multiple hospitalizations.

The Dolphins are preparing for rookie Skylar Thompson to be their starter when they face the Bills for the third time this season. Backup Teddy Bridgewater is working his way back to full strength after dislocating his pinky finger. McDaniel said he did not know if Tagovailoa would be able to travel with the team this weekend, and although he has not had any setbacks in the healing process, there are “compounding variables” at play that will keep him off the field indefinitely. “He, himself, is learning that he needs to listen to the advice of doctors and medical professionals,” McDaniel said. “He understands the severity of doing that, so there’s a little bit of things that he can’t control.” Tagovailoa was diagnosed with his second concussion of the season after a Week 16 loss to Green Bay and missed the Dolphin’s final two games. He missed two games earlier in the season after he was concussed in a Week 4 game against Cincinnati on a scary hit that briefly knocked him unconscious. That was four days after he was allowed to return to a game after appearing disoriented following a hit. The NFL later changed its concussion protocol to mandate that if a player shows possible concussion symptoms — including a lack of balance or stability — he must sit out the rest of the game. part elimination contest called the “Lightning Round,” a golf ball longest-drive contest, a quarterback passing challenge and the first round of a best-catch game. Stadium contests are the finals of the best-catch event, a relay race through an obstacle course, a special teams competition and a strength contest using first-down chains. Seven-on-seven flag football games will highlight the events at the stadium and take the place of the traditional Pro Bowl game. The NFL announced in September it was getting rid of the traditional AFC vs. NFC fullcontact all-star game after years of criticism over the quality of play. Two Bills cleared to return to practice: The Buffalo Bills opened the window of possibility for starting safety Micah Hyde and backup receiver Jamison Crowder to return from injury at some point during the playoffs after both were cleared Wednesday to return to practice. Hyde has been out since he required surgery to repair a herniated disc after being hurt in a 41-7 win against Tennessee in Week 2. Crowder has been sidelined since breaking his ankle in a win over Baltimore two weeks later. Both remain on the injured reserve list but are eligible to resume practicing over a three-week period after which the Bills have the option of activating them to the roster or ending their season. Coach Sean McDermott already ruled both out from playing Sunday, when the Bills (13-3) host their division Miami Dolphins (9-8) in a wild card playoff game. AROUND THE LEAGUE NY Jets: Mike LaFleur is out as offensive coordinator after two seasons, according to a person with knowledge of the decision. The Associated Press and he’s not going to do any damage to an injury,” Harbaugh said. “Any player plays and does what he can, to the level that he can in that situation.” Still, right now Jackson hasn’t even made it back onto the practice field, much less shown that he can contribute in a game in any significant way. He hasn’t practiced since injuring his knee in a Dec. 4 win over Denver. Tyler Huntley, who started four games in Jackson’s absence, has been dealing with shoulder issues and did not play in the regular-season finale at Cincinnati. Anthony Brown started that game. Huntley was limited in practice Wednesday. Pro Bowl activities announced: The NFL announced all eight skills competitions for its revamped Pro Bowl week. Five of the events will be Feb. 2 at Intermountain Healthcare Performance Center, the headquarters for the Las Vegas Raiders. Those will be televised but not open to the public. The rest are Feb. 5 at Las Vegas’ Allegiant Stadium, and tickets are on sale for that day. The events at the Raiders’ headquarters include a dodgeball tournament, a threeMcDaniel declined to say whether there is any concern about Tagovailoa’s long-term health and if there have been any thoughts about how the head injuries will affect the third-year quarterback’s career. “I’m just thinking about his day and him getting to full health as a human being,” McDaniel said. “And then when it’s time to turn the page, I’ll turn the page.” Ravens’ Jackson absent from practice: When it comes to Lamar Jackson, no news feels like bad news for Baltimore fans. The Ravens practiced Wednesday in preparation for their playoff opener at Cincinnati, and Jackson again was absent. If there was any remaining hope that the star quarterback could make a dramatic return for the postseason at full strength, that took a substantial hit. In fact, nothing seemed to have changed. Coach John Harbaugh again said there was no real update on the injured knee that kept Jackson out for the final five games of the regular season — although he did indicate that he could be comfortable putting a player on the field for a game if he’s not quite 100%. “If he’s healthy and safe Tua out for playoff game NFL BRIEFS Jim Rassol/The Associated Press Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa remains in the NFL’s concussion protocol and will miss Sunday’s playoff game against the Buffalo Bills.

That was Buffalo safety Damar Hamlin’s text message to Cowboys running back Qadree Ollison earlier this week. Hamlin and Ollison were teammates at the University of Pittsburgh for three seasons before each left college for the NFL. When Hamlin suffered a cardiac arrest after making a tackle in the first quarter against the Bengals on Jan. 2, the entire sports world paused. But Hamlin has recovered to the point where he was discharged from a Buffalo hospital on Wednesday, ending two hospital stays over a nine-day period that began in Cincinnati. Ollison sent Hamlin a text message offering support, not knowing when he would get a response. Not only did Ollison get one, he spoke to Hamlin before he was released from the hospital. “Very special hearing that he got discharged from the hospital,” Ollison said. “He’s obviously trending in the right direction. He’s healthy and he’s getting back to himself. I’m ecstatic for him.” The game between the Bengals and Bills was canceled days after Hamlin’s health scare. Almost every team in the NFL, including the Cowboys, spoke about Hamlin and the dangers of playing football. As Hamlin’s health improved, the league felt more and more comfortable with playing games. Hamlin talked to his teammates last week after a breathing tube was removed. One of the first things Hamlin expressed during his recovery was him writing, “Did we win?” on a clipboard. Players and coaches across the league wore T-shirts with his No. 3jersey number on the front in support of his recovery. “That’s the power of prayer,” Ollison said. “The power of God and now everybody is happy he’s okay, and we can move on from this and learn from it and move forward.” Ollison said the first communication he had with Hamlin was the returned text responding to the text message Ollison sent the day after the injury occurred and then the phone call. It was something that showed Ollison everything is getting close to normal. “He texted me back, he just said ‘love,’ ” Ollison said. “I talked to him a couple of days ago. He’s himself. We talk like we been talking, just friends talking about life. He’s good.” Twitter:@calvinwatkins Hamlin sends ‘love’ to Cowboys RB Bills safety connects with ex-Pitt teammate by text and phone By CALVIN WATKINS Staff Writer [email protected] DAMAR HAMLIN QADREE OLLISON Isaiah Vazquez/Getty Images Damar Hamlin was discharged from a Buffalo hospital on Wednesday, the latest milestone in a remarkable recovery from a cardiac arrest suffered nine days earlier in Cincinnati. Electronic Arts will remove a touchdown celebration mimicking CPR from its game “Madden NFL 23,” following Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin going into cardiac arrest during a Monday Night Football game onJan. 2. “EA Sports is taking steps to remove the celebration from ‘Madden NFL 23’ via an update in the coming days,” an EA Sports spokesperson told numerous outlets. In the game,playerscanperform actions such as dancing, spiking the ball and taunting. Some of these moves can be risky, though. Showboating while dashing into the other team’s end zone leaves the runner vulnerable to a tackle for loss. Hamlin collapsed after being hit in the chest while playing against the Cincinnati Bengals.Medics performedCPR on the field before Hamlin was rushed to thehospital,wherehe was declared to be in critical condition. He was met with an outpouring of support from fellow athletes and politicians, including Ohio governor Mike DeWine. “Fran and I offer our prayers for Damar Hamlin,” wrote DeWine on Twitter. “We join everyonein Cincinnati and across this country in praying for this youngathlete.” Hamlin’s condition improved enough to be transferred from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center this week and admittedinto Buffalo General Medical Center. Hamlinwas dischargedWednesday. Touchdown celebrations have been a long-running but contentious tradition in the NFL. They can range from simple cheers and high-fives to choreographed group dance routines. While these celebrations are widely enjoyed by fans, the league has frowned uponwhatit termsas “excessive celebration,” which are celebrations deemed unsportsmanlike and rude. Acting out CPR has been a common touchdown celebration in the NFL for years, with players feigning heart-stopping excitement. On Sunday, the Pittsburgh Steelers were criticized for mimicking CPR during a celebration in a game against the Cleveland Browns. Steelers linebacker Alex Highsmith said the celebration was not intended to be a reference toHamlin. Game removes celebration VIDEO GAMES Madden NFL 23 pulls move that mimicked CPR after scoring TD By JONATHAN LEE The Washington Post the team. This marks the next major step in what doctors have called Hamlin’s remarkable recovery, which came two days after he was deemed healthy enough to be transferred from the University of Cincinnati Medical Center to the Buffalo General Medical Center. Nadler said the 24-year-old Hamlin will continue his rehabilitation with the Bills. The Bills and Nadler did not disclose the results of the tests Hamlin had over the past two days in Buffalo to determine the reason his heart stopped after he was struck squarely in the chest by Bengals receiver Tee Higgins while making what appeared to be a routine tackle. Hamlin collapsed during the first quarter of Buffalo’s since-canceled game at Cincinnati on Jan. 2, a chilling scene that played out in front of millions on television. “That just shows the type of kid that he is, how he’s fought and he’s continuing to win,” Bills left tackle Dion Dawkins said. “There’s no place that he would rather be thanin his own bed, so blessing to him.” As Hamlin’s recovery progressed, the Bills and the NFL’s messaging switched from “Prayers for Damar 3” to “Love for Damar 3” by last weekend, when the entire league honored Hamlin, who wears No. 3. The Bills and their fans capped an emotionally draining week with a 35-23 regular-seasonending victory over New England. “It’s an awesome feeling. And we’re just hoping that he’s getting his rest and recovery,” quarterback Josh Allen said Wednesday after practice, where the Bills (13-3) prepared to host their division rival Miami Dolphins (9-8) in a wildcard playoff game on Sunday. “As a team, we’re extremely happy.” As much as players want to see Hamlin in person, Allen cautioned that moment might have to wait to allow Hamlin to gain his strength. “Just making sure he’s taking it slow, and obviously trying to get back to being himself,” Allen added. “So we’ll take all the time that we need. But I hope he knows the guys are ready to see him.” Coach Sean McDermott said it would be up to Hamlin to decide when to visit the team, saying: “We’ll welcome him back as he feels ready.” Hamlin on road to recovery Continued from Page 1C
4C Thursday, January 12, 2023 dallasnews.com The Dallas Morning News Cowboys NFL Wild Card Playoff: Cowboys (12-5) at Buccaneers (8-9) 7:15 p.m. Monday; TV: Ch. 8, ESPN, ESPN2; Radio: KRLD-FM (105.3), KMVK-FM (107.5, Spanish); Line: Cowboys by 21 ⁄2 FRISCO — Cowboys defensive end Sam Williams was issued an arrest warrant on a misdemeanor charge for reckless driving related to his involvement in a car crash last month, a Plano police official said Wednesday. Williams collided with a second vehicle Dec. 22, as he drove southbound on Preston Road around 2:15 p.m. The other driver, a 71-year-old woman, was traveling in a northbound lane, and they made contact when she turned west toward the driver’s side of Williams’ black 2021 Chevrolet Corvette. They suffered minor injuries in the crash and were transported to a local hospital. Specifics regarding the reckless-driving allegation were not immediately made public, but a police spokesperson disclosed shortly following the incident that officers were investigating the speed at which Williams was traveling leading up to the collision. Authorities have contacted Williams and requested he turn himself in, according to Plano police. A judge would then set his bond at an arraignment. It was not known Wednesday evening if Williams already had done so. He was not present Wednesday afternoon in the Cowboys’ locker room during a 45-minute media availability period. The rookie second-round pick suffered a neck strain and facial lacerations in the crash. The Cowboys also listed him with a concussion, and he missed a Dec. 24 game against the Philadelphia Eagles. Two days later, while saying he didn’t have a concussion, he told reporters he was grateful there were no major injuries and to be alive. He said he totaled his car, which he picked up from a dealership the night before the crash. He owned it for less than 24 hours. Williams was involved in multiple vehicle-related incidents while in college at Ole Miss. Those included a vehicle rollover in 2019 when allegedly driving with a suspended license and a 2020 citation for speeding in a townhome complex, according to Oxford police documents The Dallas Morning News obtained. The arrest warrant is not expected to impact Williams’ availability for Monday’s firstround playoff game at the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, but coach Mike McCarthy can address his status at a news conference Thursday. Williams totaled 22 tackles, four sacks and three forced fumbles in 15 regularseason games. Players’ All-Pro: Typically, NFL reporters are the ones who decide who makes AllPro teams. While such a distinguished and qualified voting committee surely makes for a very humbling award for these players, their union decided to begin rolling out their own All-Pro team as well. Two Cowboys players made the cut. Linebacker Micah Parsons was not one of them. Right guard Zack Martin and wide receiver KaVontae Turpin, as a punt returner, were selected. Martin is no surprise. Based on production, Turpin is a bit of one. But this perhaps speaks to the level teams fear Turpin, who was USFL MVP in 2022 before dazzling in the preseason. Nick Bosa and Myles Garrett made the cut over Parsons at edge defender. With a partially bleeped expletive, Parsons dismissed the list on Twitter, saying he was in “playoff mode.” “Congrats to those that made it tho!” Parsons wrote. “They deserve it!” According to the NFL Players Association, active players voted for the All-Pro team. They could not vote for themselves or teammates, and they could only vote for a player in their own position group or a position group with which they regularly come into contact. For example, centers could vote for the top center, interior defensive linemen, nose tackle and off-ball linebacker. They couldn’t vote for the best wide receiver or cornerback, among other spots. All-Pro voting results from the likes of the Associated Press and the Pro Football Writers Association are still to come. The AP produces the most established and recognized All-Pro team. ‘Phenomenal’ practice: By their own admission, the Cowboys had a poor practice week leading up to their embarrassing 26-6 loss Sunday to the Washington Commanders. This is very much a new week. Multiple players raved Wednesday about the quality of a morning walkthrough. There clearly is an understanding of what is at stake Monday against the Buccaneers. The team looks to avoid a second straight one-anddone postseason appearance. Linebacker Leighton Vander Esch (neck), center Tyler Biadasz (ankle) and nose tackle Johnathan Hankins (pec) all returned to practice. Each is expected to play this week. “Today’s practice was, like, phenomenal,” Hankins said. “Everybody was flying around. Everybody was on their details, on their keys. Everybody was preparing as if the game was tomorrow, we’d be ready. But you know, we’ve still got some days left.” Like other coaches, Mike McCarthy has seen great practice weeks before awful games and poor practice weeks before excellent games. There are no guarantees here. That said, the tone has shifted from last week. “It was a good one, a real good one,” rookie left tackle Tyler Smith said. “It was probably the best walkthrough we’ve had. I’m excited.” Twitter: @GehlkenNFL Warrant for rookie DE’s arrest issued COWBOYS BRIEFS Plano police charge Williams with reckless driving following crash By MICHAEL GEHLKEN Staff Writer [email protected] Chris Carlson/The Associated Press Plano police issued an arrest warrant for Cowboys defensive end Sam Williams (54) for misdemeanor reckless driving on Wednesday. The warrant is not expected to affect Williams’ availability for Monday’s playoff opener at Tampa Bay. neers, one year after Jerry Jones was devastated by the team’s first-round loss to San Francisco, the owner’s emotions could change this calculation. But let’s operate on the premise that a head coach that has presided over a 24-10 regular-season record the last two seasons, earned the admiration and respect of his players, emerged from a five-week stretch 4-1 with a backup quarterback and became the first coach in the last 22 years of the franchise tolead his team to the postseason in back-to-back seasons has escaped any winor-else edicts. That places the scrutiny on Prescott and Moore. Prescott isn’t going anywhere. But after tying for the league lead in interceptions with15, after a somewhat erratic performance over the course of the season — a characterization that causes him to bristle — and a string of lackluster postseason outings, pressure is increasing. The Cowboys quarterback has only one playoff win on his ledger. Lose Monday night, and he falls to 1-4 and will have gone more than four years since his only victory. This is a hurdle Prescott must clear. If not, it dramatically impacts how he’ll be viewed going into his eighth season. A win against Tom Brady, a quarterback the Cowboys have never defeated, would create a much different trajectory. Suddenly, no quarterback left in the NFC playoffs would have more victories than Prescott. The race really would be wide open with the only legacy quarterback on that side of the bracket gone. When McCarthy took over three years ago, he chose to keep the same offensive system in place because he wanted Prescott to be comfortable. He felt it would aid in the quarterback’s development. Another fruitless postseason, coming on the heels of a regular season that saw Prescott’s interceptions spike and the second-lowest quarterback rating of his career, would raise the question of whether comfortable has become complacent. And that leads to Moore. He’s been with Prescott every step of the way, first as a teammate, then as his position coach and now coordinator. This will be the second playoff game Moore has called. The Cowboys fell behind 13-0 and 23-7 in losing to the Niners one year ago. “One big thing is you’ve got to start these things fast, and just clean football,’’ Moore said. “We started very slow against San Francisco, something we’re able to hopefully learn from and grow from and put ourselves in a better position moving forward.’’ Moore also needs to get the ball to his playmakers. One of the biggest criticisms coming out of last year’s game was ball distribution. CeeDee Lamb touched the ball only twice in the loss to San Francisco. He had a 21-yard reception and a 5-yard run. Tony Pollard had four carries for 14 yards. He added two receptions for 12 more yards. Those two have been much more involved in the offense this season. That must continue on the road Monday night against Tampa Bay. “You want to get the ball in their hands and allow them to make plays,’’ Moore said. “I think that’s something certainly last year, just being more conscious of it, making sure those guys get their touches, their opportunities. “Tony is such a good space player. CeeDee, even on Sunday watching him run after the catch, he catches some balls and makes plays. His physicality once he gets the ball in his hands is tremendous. “Those guys are always guys we’re trying to make sure we give them opportunities, give them touches, create opportunities for them, whether it’s a formation or a particular play.’’ Moore continues to spark interest across the league. A person close to the situation confirms that Carolina has contacted the Cowboys coordinator about interviewing for its head coach vacancy. But remember, when Moore and defensive coordinator Dan Quinn were approached by other clubs at the end of last season, Jones extended Quinn to entice him to stay. That approach was not taken with Moore, who has one year left on his contract after this season. If Dallas suffers another one-and-done, if the offense struggles, there will be ramifications. McCarthy’s job status? It turns out there are bigger questions heading into this postseason.

Fans and reporters, however, love what-ifs and historical comparisons, and both will be on vivid display Thursday night in Crypto.com Arena, when James’ 19-23 Lakers host Doncic and the 23-19 Mavericks. James, with 37,965 career points, needs 423 to surpass Kareem Abdul-Jabbar (38,387) as the NBA’s career scoring leader, but of immediate relevance he needs 35 points to join Jabbar in the 38,000-club. Mavericks fans who followed Dirk Nowitzki’s gradual climb to No. 6 on the scoring list well recall those electric nights inside American Airlines Center when he reached 30,000 on March 7, 2017, against the Lakers; and 31,000 on Feb. 28, 2018, against Oklahoma City. Suffice to say the possibility of James reaching 38K adds considerably more intrigue to this matchup of fourth-in-theWest Dallas against 12th-place Los Angeles. James, averaging 29.1 points, poured in 38 points in the Lakers’ Christmas Day loss in Dallas, and he bridged 2022 and 2023 with efforts of 47 and 43 points, so a 35-point night is more than feasible. “The guy is the greatest to ever play the game,” summed Mavericks coach Jason Kidd, after his team’s Wednesday practice at USC. “So what does he mean? He’s always delivered. He’s won multiple [four] championships. He’ll break a record that a lot of people don’t think will ever be broken.” Doncic in his fifth season leads the NBA with a 34.2- point scoring average. His career average of 27.4 points virtually mirrors James’ 27.2, but of course James has been a dominant player four times longer than has Doncic. Kidd has a unique perspective of both, having been a teammate of James in the 2008 Olympics; playing on the Mavericks team that defeated James’ Heat in the 2011 NBA Finals; coaching James for two seasons as a Lakers assistant, winning the 2020 NBA title; and coaching Doncic for the past two seasons. “It’s pretty cool, to play against him, to play with him and then to coach him,” Kidd said of James. “He’s delivered at each decade, I guess you could say.” Doncic has said many times that James was his favorite NBA player while growing in Slovenia. It’s little wonder that Doncic initially seemed starstruck playing against James and with him on NBA All-Star teams. The Lakers from 2018 to 2020 won nine of 10 games against Dallas, but the Mavericks have won five of the last six meetings. James’ admiration of Doncic’s game is well-documented, including an ESPN interview that aired earlier this week in which he was asked to name players that he could envision passing him on the career scoring list. “KD’s the first name that comes to mind for sure: Kevin Durant’s name is ‘Easy Money’ and ‘Slim Reaper’ for a reason,” James said. Kyrie [Irving], Luka, [Joel] Embiid, Giannis [Antetokounmpo], those guys put numbers on the board.” Abdul-Jabbar has held the career scoring record since the April 5, 1984, night on which he passed previous recordholder Wilt Chamberlain’s 31,419. Five more players have passed Chamberlain, including No. 6 all-time Nowitzki (31,560), but no one besides Abdul-Jabbar had reached 37,000 until James came along. At his season rate of 29.1 points, James would pass Abdul-Jabbar in 16 games, four games before the Lakers come to Dallas on Feb. 26 for a Sunday afternoon nationally televised meeting. Given the way he’s playing, and his still peak conditioning, it’s easy toimagine James easily surpassing 40,000 points. That would be comparable to Emmitt Smith surpassing Walter Payton’s NFL-record 16,726 rushing yards and then tacking on to finish with a seemingly unreachable 18,355 yards. Consider that the NBA’s No. 2 active scorer, 34-year-old Kevin Durant, is 11,281 points behind James. Durant’s medial collateral ligament sprain on Sunday, which will keep him out at least a month, further illustrates the long odds of anyone catching James. “It’s just amazing to watch him,” Doncic said. “It’s his 20th season. What he’s doing, he’s scoring 30 or 40 almost every night, is just incredible. We rarely see those things.” In case you’re wondering, Doncic’s 8,263 career points ranks 512th in NBA history. That’s remarkable for a player in his fifth season, but it’s wise to hold off seriously assessing his chances of passing James. Until, oh, at least 2030. Similarly, Doncic scoffs whenever he’s asked about his chances of equaling Nowitzki’s 21 seasons as a Maverick. “I don’t know about 20 years. That’s a long time to play basketball. I’d rather go back to my farm in Slovenia.” Twitter:@townbrad James on verge of joining elite 38K points club BRAD TOWNSEND Continued from Page 1C There will be a few familiar faces for Dallas Stars fans on the benches of the NHL AllStar Game. The NHL announced Wednesday that Stars head coach Pete DeBoer will serve as the head coach of the Central Division’s team during the AllStar Weekend in Florida from Feb. 3-4. Former Stars coach Jim Montgomery, now leading the Boston Bruins, will coach the Atlantic team, while Rod Brind’Amour of the Carolina Hurricanes and Bruce Cassidy of the Vegas Golden Knights will coach the Metropolitan and Pacific teams, respectively. The Stars hired DeBoer in June to replace Rick Bowness. He was fired by the Golden Knights last season after Vegas missed the playoffs for the first time in its short franchise history. In his first season with the Stars, he has launched Dallas to the top of the Western Conference. The Stars currently lead the Central Division with a 25-11-6 record, and their 56 points are tied with, oddly enough, Vegas for most in the conference. Dallas forward Jason Robertson was named to his first All-Star Game last week, and will be the team’s lone representative on the ice. Robertson, 23, is having a stellar season with 26 goals and 29 assists through 40 games. He started the season with an 18-game point streak, the longest in Dallas Stars history and two shy of Brian Bellow’s 20- game franchise record. Plano’s Seth Jones was also named to the Central team, representing the Chicago Blackhawks. Staff Reports Flyers 5, Capitals 3: In Philadelphia, Travis Konecny had a hat trick, and Owen Tippett and Scott Laughton also scored to lead the surging Flyers to a win overWashington. Marcus Johansson and T.J. Oshie beat Carter Hart for two straight goals in the third for Washington that trimmed the lead to 4-3. Hart held on the rest of the way and finished with 26 saves. Konecy buried an emptynetter in the final seconds for his third goal of the game — 24th overall — and sent hats flying over the ice. It was his second career hat trick. Maple Leafs 2, Predators 1: In Toronto, Mitch Marner scored a power-play goal with 1:15 left in regulation, and Toronto beat Nashville. John Tavares had a goal and an assist for Toronto, which was without injured star Auston Matthews. William Nylander added two assists, andMatt Murray made 32 saves. Filip Forsberg scored for Nashville, and Juuse Saros had 33 saves. The Predators snapped a season-high fourgame winning streak. With time winding down, Marner took a pass from Nylander on a late four-minute power play and beat Saros, who was caught out of position, for his 16th goal of the season.

6C Thursday, January 12, 2023 II dallasnews.com The Dallas Morning News U NIVERSITY PARK — Before Wednesday, the previous two times the SMU men’s basketball team hit the court was discouraging, to say the least. Dropping back-to-back road games by more than 30 points, even against the twohighest-ranked teams in the conference, didn’t exactly qualify as a relaxing road trip. Wednesday’s 97-88 loss to Tulane was disappointing for the SMU men’s basketball team, but not discouraging in their minds. “And that’s important,” SMU head basketball coach Rob Lanier said of the distinction, “when you’re trying to grow and improve.” The Mustangs, despite a starting 1-for-10 from the field, and despite being without leading scorer Zhuric Phelps for the second-straight game, generated enough offense to potentially beat a conference foe. The only problem was they were playing a Green Wave team that came in as the highest scoring team in the conference. Tulane validated that reputation by shooting 63.6% from the field in the second half, which included a perfect 8-of-8 from the field to close out the win. The Mustangs led for just over seven minutes, including a 67-66 lead with just over 10 minutes left. They trailed 83- 80 with 2:43 left. Tulane then outscored the Mustangs 14-5 the rest of the way. Jaylen Forbes, who had a game-high 31 points, hit a 3- pointer with 1:37 to give Tulane a nine-point lead and allbut end SMU’s chances of a second conference victory. He appeared to yell “this is my city,” as SMU fans began to depart. The Mustangs are now 6-11 on the season and 1-3 in American Athletic Conference play. “First of all credit to Tulane … they really made some tough shots,” said SMU sophomore Stefan Todorovic, who posted a career high in both points (27) and rebounds (10). And for the most part, when the Green Wave missed the Mustangs found a way to grab rebounds, which was not something they did in the previous two road losses to Houston and Central Florida. In those games, SMU lost the rebounding battle by a combined 92-45. Wednesday night, the Mustangs out-rebounded Tulane 45-27. There were two reasons for the drastic rebounding swing. For one, the opponent. “I know [Tulane head coach Ron Hunter] and Ron is willing to concede rebounding in lieu of their ability to score the ball in high possession games,” Lanier said. But Lanier also saw an increased effort from his team on the boards, which might be the statistic most closely tied to effort. Rebounding, and the effort required to succeed in it, is something Lanier has wanted to see in his first-year program for some time. Even the Hawaiian Airlines Diamond Head Classic Tournament, where SMU lost in the title game by one, Lanier said he didn’t see his team fighting for rebounds. “We told them, ‘It’s going to be different when we go to Houston,’ ” Lanier said, “but they had to see it for themselves … so that weakness reared its head and so we had to come in licking our wounds on Monday.” Lanier said he and his team talked about a lot of things after those back-to-back blowout losses, but he was encouraged by the team’s response. “We put ourselves in position to win the game tonight; didn’t close out the game,” Lanier said. “but it was a more of a normal conference matchup. Where one team beat the other team. But I’m not disappointed in our effort.” Which is encouraging. Phelps update: Lanier said that there’s no current timetable for Phelps to return from the oblique strain that’s caused him to miss back-toback games. Lanier characterized his status as “day-to-day.” Phelps, a sophomore from Duncanville, is averaging a team-high 17.5 points per game.

HONOLULU — No two tournaments held in consecutive weeks in the same state have so little in common as Kapalua on Maui and the Sony Open on Oahu. One is an elite field of 39 players, the other a full field of 144. The prize money this week is $7.9 million, compared with $15 million last week. The Plantation Course at Kapalua was built on a small mountain that requires players to get into vans twice to reach the next tee. The other is a flat walk along the ocean and royal palms. “I think guys who play Kapalua also enjoy coming here with an easier walk around the golf course,” said Adam Scott, among 19 players from Kapalua who are playing the Sony Open. “It feels like a little calmer week than tackling that mountain over there.” One big difference — and a key point going forward on the PGA Tour — is that roughly half the field will be going home on Friday. Cuts have been an integral part of the meritocracy that golf allows, dating back decades. There was a time when getting to the weekend was one thing; players had to finish among the top 25 or so just to get paid. At question is what the PGA Tour will look like going forward. This year is all about designated events and $20 million purses, a response to Saudibacked LIV Golf. The work in progress is 2024 and beyond, and one topic is limited fields for the elite players and whether there should be a cut. LIV Golf is only 54 holes with no cut, and it’s one reason the anti-LIV crowd sneers at the rival league as a little more than an exhibition. PGA Tour Commissioner Jay Monahan said last week, “I’ve always felt a cut was important to the sport.” Scott, for one, said he can make arguments for both sides, and that it depends on the ultimate goal for the PGA Tour’s competition structure and whether a cut is needed. “That’s a hard thing in a membership organization. There are hundreds of opinions getting thrown around. You’re not going to please everyone,” Scott said. “We have to decide what we want to be.” Jordan Spieth also can see both sides of the equation. He is actively involved in the discussions of what the PGA Tour will look like going forward. Spieth had one eye on fans who wanted to come watch their favorite players and would know for certain the stars would be there all four days. “But at the same time, the professional golf that we’ve been playing for all this time — 80% of the tournaments that I’ve played in, maybe more — have had cuts, and you have to play well,” he said. “Obviously, the conversation with LIV ... we should be doing what’s best for our tour and forget about the consequences and any reaction that would cause elsewhere.” For now, the objective for Spieth, defending champion Hideki Matsuyama and everyone else is to get to the weekend in Hawaii and still have to work. Briefly: Scott last week became the seventh player to top $60 million in career earnings on the PGA Tour. ... Winged Foot will host the U.S. Open in 2028 for the eighth time.

It can be extremely dangerous if untreated.” Some Heath parents and players defended Harrell and the program, but medical experts said the biggest risk is overexertion of the athletes after a long break, especially if they aren’t used to rigorous activities at a higher level. “A lot of the cases of rhabdo in athletes come after a long break, like Christmas break. That’s when kids aren’t ready for it,” said Andrew Pichardo, a strength and conditioning coach at Florida’s vaunted IMG Academy. RISD spokeswoman Renae Murphy said that for the rest of the week, the football team will participate in a recovery workout with a light warmup and light stretching that is nonstrenuous. Pichardo, who used to work at Tyler Legacy, one of Rockwall-Heath’s district rivals, said it’s often difficult for athletes to speak up, even if they feel their health is possibly compromised. “If a kid speaks up, he’s going to get roasted by the coaches and the other kids, or he’s going to be kind of blacklisted as soft,” he said. “I don’t blame the kids for not speaking up, because if they do, they’ll probably get cussed at and called names and not be put on the team they want to be on, or kicked off.” The Collegiate Strength and Conditioning Coaches Association says the incidence of injuries and deaths related to exertional heat illness, exertional rhabdomyolysis and cardiorespiratory failure has increased significantly in college athletes in recent years. Data indicates that injuries and deaths are more likely to occur during periods when athletes are transitioning from relative inactivity to regular training. It says that conditioning periods should be phased in gradually and progressively to encourage proper exercise acclimatization and to minimize the risk of adverse effects on health. “The biggest thing is having a good progression in place, knowing that they are coming off two weeks of probably not doing a whole lot, just easing back into things slowly,” Pichardo said. “I think you can more intelligently progress them backinto activity. You can push kids with safe limits and still get better.” Scott Bell, clinical director of Rockwall County EMS, said the department does not get many calls related to “rhabdo.” “Especially for that age population,” Bell said, adding that most calls about “rhabdo” are from people who are older. “Rhabdo can be very serious,” National Athletic Trainers’ Association president Kathy Dieringer said. “Rhabdo happens for a variety of reasons. It’s basically overexertion and the muscles usually have repetitive exercise. Because of that repetitive exercise, the muscle starts to break down and it puts toxins into the bloodstream. It can cause problems with the kidneys, with the liver. “It can become fatal if left untreated and unrecognized.” Staff writers Talia Richman and Hojun Choi contributed to this report.

........ By VALENTIN FUENTES TravelPulse Virtually every Caribbean island has lifted restrictions after the worst of the COVID-19 pandemic has passed, although in some cases there are specific requirements travelers can quickly meet. These four island destinations have opened their doors for millions of travelers and stand out as can’t-miss destinations as we enter the new year. Anguilla This island, located off the coast of St. Maarten, welcomes tourists with an excellent hotel infrastructure, extraordinary natural areas and first-class cuisine in restaurants that offer international dishes with Caribbean fusion. Little Bay is one of the most popular places on the island. There, visitors enjoy hours of snorkeling and swimming in crystal-clear waters. However, it should be noted that this spot does not have any services for tourists, so it is recommended to bring the necessary towels and drinks to spend the day. In addition, several tour operators in Anguilla offer daysailing trips with lunch included in locations such as Prickly Pear Cays, a pair of protected islands classified as Wildlands by the Eastern Caribbean Natural Management Programme. For history and culture lovers, there are two must-see sites: the James Ronald Webster Memorial and the Heritage Museum. The latter is located near East End Salt Pond and features an extensive collection of artifacts and photographs telling the island’s history, including the eras of slavery and phosphate trade. Cayman Islands This beautiful Caribbean spot is visited by tourists from all over the world, especially from the U.S., as it’s just an hour away from Miami. Tourists can dive among reefs, participate in water sports and tour cultural attractions designed for couples and families. Plus, the hotels and restaurants on the Cayman Islands are top-notch. In Grand Cayman, one of the three islands that make up this destination, visitors can enjoy the appeal of the famous Seven Mile Beach and North Sound, where there is a large colony of rays that can be seen by snorkeling or diving. In Cayman Brac, visitors will find impressive stone caves and an abyss, where they can dive along a sunken ship. This island also has a beautiful forest ideal for bird watching as tourists walk the paths through lush nature. St. Lucia This Caribbean island has traditionally been one of the most visited destinations in the world, with a rate of 2.3 tourists per resident. The extraordinary island combines fine white sand beaches, rainforests, flower fields and other scenic landscapes. Located next to the islands of St. Vincent, the Grenadines and Martinique, this volcanic island has, in addition to its beaches and jungles, great mountains such as the famous Peter Piton and Gros Piton, ideal places for excursions and trekking along its lush trails. Most of St. Lucia’s hotel infrastructure is located on the west coast, where visitors enjoy extraordinary views of the Caribbean and volcanic landscapes. The island offers plenty of places to enjoy outdoor activities and water sports, especially diving in the Marigot Bay area, where visitors can discover abundant marine life with long snorkeling sessions. Windsurfing and kayaking are also available. In addition to these activities, tourists can tour the island on foot or by bike to enjoy nature, including banana, coconut, mango and guava trees. Soufrière is one of themost recommended cities for those visiting St. Lucia due to its popular tourist areas such as Sulfur Springs, a place full of natural pools, and the Toraille Waterfall, where tourists can cool off during the day. Grenada This inviting Caribbean island is a paradise for lovers of nature exploration with its many waterfalls and rainforests that are home to a wide variety of animal species, such as monkeys, birds and reptiles. In addition to extraordinary beaches, St. George, the capital, is a cozy setting full of colonial architecture inherited from England and France, like the Fort St. George, built by the French in the 18th century on a high mountain providing a sweeping view of the island. St. George also offers excellent markets for handicrafts and fruit and vegetables. , Here, visitors can enjoy beautiful views of the bay, surrounded by Georgian-style houses, sailboats and private yachts. Be sure not to miss these 4 Caribbean locations A view of the Caribbean from the Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club, on Anguilla. Darren Ornitz/Aurora Anguilla Resort & Golf Club TRAVEL ANDREWS McMEEL SYNDICATION Dear Abby: My wife and I have been together 25 years and had an ideal marriage. She has recently become a dedicated baseball fan, or should I say, obsessed. She has season tickets and attends wearing her team outfit. She got a team license plate and scours the daily sports page for team news first thing every morning. She talks baseball with anyone anytime, including me, incessantly, despite my lukewarm interest. At home on game day she has multiple TVs on, as well as her laptop and phone dialed to the game, lest she miss one second of play. She can talk about every player on a first-name basis, and their family in minute detail. When her team misses a play or loses, she gets irate and loudly curses at the TV. I worry she takes it too seriously. She’s now bringing her portable TV into bed for late games. Needless to say, thinking about baseball in the bedroom has thrown a curve at our marital bliss. When I bring up the interference, she argues that “most husbands” would be thrilled to be married to a “gamer babe.” Can you referee this disputed call? Frustrated in San Francisco Dear Frustrated: Tell your sports-obsessed wife that while most husbands would be thrilled to be married to a “gamer babe,” she isn’t married to one of them. Tell her you love her, but you are oversaturated with statistics and need her to dial it back. Explain that the portable TV in the bedroom is interfering with your sex life, and if she values your marital relationship, she will respect that. Don’t wait. Take your stand now, before baseball season starts again. P.S. In self-defense, arm yourself with new interests of your own because I have a feeling you are going to need them. Dear Abby: I have a lovely life — a wonderful husband and five caring children entering adulthood. I have a successful career I am well compensated for. The problem I face is that at 47, my health is such that I live every day in debilitating pain. I spend my energy getting through my day and evenings, and weekends in pain and recovering from my work week. My husband is understanding, but friends and family don’t understand. I don’t know how much longer I can continue this, but I don’t know how to give up a well-paying career without whichmy family’s quality of life would considerably change. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Trying to Rest in the Midwest Dear Trying: I will assume that you have talked at length about this with your husband. Your next step should be to talk with your physician about a referral to a pain-management specialist. If you are unable to find relief there, you may have to take the financial hit. Although it may mean your family will have to make do with less, your quality of life is important, too. Her fixation with baseball isn’t a hit DEAR ABBY JEANNE PHILLIPS dearabby.com “She argues that most husbands would be thrilled to be married to a ‘gamer babe.’ ” WASHINGTON POST WRITERS GROUP Adapted from an online discussion. Dear Carolyn: My girlfriend is 5 months pregnant. Today she informed me that she wants to include her mom and sister in the upcoming doctor appointments. Because of COVID-19, she can bring only one person with her, which means I’m going to be left out of as many as two-thirds of the appointments. She lives with her mom and sister, so she spends a lot of time with them, whereas I get to see her only a few hours a day and she never spends the night with me. Our time together is really limited, and now this doctor thing is more than I can handle. I have told her I want to be very involved in the pregnancy and the baby’s life. I have a feeling that when the baby comes, the situation will remain the same and I will feel left out and relegated to being a part-time parent. I have been supporting her and her family for years and I truly love her, and I’m so excited to be a dad, but this situation is very painful and I don’t know what to do. Am I being selfish? I feel like I’m being given an occasional table scrap. Dallas Dear Dallas: This just gets to the thorniest part of pregnancy, doesn’t it? It’s two people’s baby but one person’s body. It’s all right there. Rightly and necessarily, the body prevails. Forcing your way into someone else’s appointment, like forcing someone to carry a pregnancy to term,is not a place I will ever advise going. But you also matter, and your feelings matter, and your role as father matters. So if your girlfriend wants female, family support at her appointments, then the right thing is for you to grant her that — but advocating for yourself first is also the right thing. Tell her how important it is to you to be there, how meaningful these appointments have been, and how involved you want to be in the child’s life. Explain that you understand how important it is for her to choose her own support, too, and will grant her that respect — but would also like to know if there’s something you could be doing better when you’re there. And/or if you can agree to be there for half or two-thirds of the appointments or whatever as the mom and sister alternate for the others. Basically it’s, “I’m here for you during your pregnancy even if my absence is the only way to do that, but I’d 100% prefer presence.” Longer term, given the lines you’ve written and whatever else I can make out between them (supporting them all for years?!), it does sound possible your access to fatherhood might be limited, which is different, since you don’t share the pregnancy but do share the child. Any issues there are for an attorney, now. But your chances of a good outcome are better if you establish yourself now as flexible, a good listener, responsive to your girlfriend’s needs, and firm about your place in your child’s life. Congrats and good luck. Re: Dallas: He needs to consult lawyer now to establish parental rights, especially if there is no marriage in the plans. A friend was happy to be a dad but not interested in being married to the mom; best thing he ever did was start the legal talk before the baby was born. Anonymous Father edged out of prenatal visits CAROLYN HAX [email protected] ANDREWS McMEEL SYNDICATION Dear Miss Manners: I work in a cubicle in a fairly small, open-space office. One of the other sections of the office contains a group of kids in their 20s. They are constantly talking and laughing throughout the day. I don’t mind that they talk, but the problem is that they are loud. Very loud. Way, way too loud! Even though I sit all the way across the room, I can hear their conversations perfectly. They seem to share every aspect of their lives and feel the need to vocalize every little thought that comes into their heads. It has gotten to the point where I am having a hard time focusing on the tasks at my desk. I am not allowed to wear noise-canceling headphones because it could prevent me from answering an important telephone call. A couple of weeks ago, I sent an anonymous letter to the director of human resources listing my concerns, but nothing has changed. If anything, it’s become worse. I have hesitated to speak with my supervisor because she is friends with the supervisor of the loud sector. I don’t want to be considered a “buzzkill” or get a reputation for being a complainer. However, the noise is affecting my production. Gentle Reader: This is a business, not a college dormitory, and the noisy employees are not the popular kids. Miss Manners says this for you to keep in mind — not because she is confident it is apparent to the human resources director, your boss, their boss or them. You should speak to your supervisor, the human resources director or both. But you need to do so in a language they will understand. You must speak about avoiding reduced productivity (not your failure to focus) by finding reasonable accommodations for your preferred work environment, as it differs from that preferred by your co-workers (not the “kids in their 20s” who keep “talking and laughing”). Dear Miss Manners: Our church recently held a picnic for those who volunteer their time and talent. A committee of six people puts the picnic on each year and makes the food. The rub is that one of the six refuses to eat anyone else’s food! She and her spouse fill their plate with only their food and, when they go back for seconds, it’s the same thing. The rest of our small group noticed and, frankly, we feel offended. Gentle Reader: It was Miss Manners’ impression that many churches concern themselves with harder problems — such as how to treat with charity and compassion those who have done us actual harm. But even humble etiquette sees no profit in seeking to punish someone who did nothing at all. Dear Miss Manners: I understand that “Stop by and see us anytime” is not a real invitation and should not be acted upon. But if they include their street address, does that change the calculus? Gentle Reader: It makes it more likely that they would be pleased to see you, which is a reason to go — but not a reason to do so without advance warning.

By Kim Casali PLUGGERS By Rick McKee ZITS By Jerry Scott and Jim Borgman COMICS & PUZZLES 1910 At aWhite House dinner hosted by PresidentWilliam Howard Taft, Baroness Rosen, wife of the Russian ambassador, caused a stir by requesting and smoking a cigarette — it was, apparently, the first time a woman had smoked openly during a public function in the executive mansion. 1915 The U.S. House of Representatives rejected, 204-174, a proposed amendment to give women nationwide the right to vote. 1932 HattieW. Caraway became the first woman elected to the U.S. Senate after initially being appointed to serve out the remainder of her late husband’s term. 1966 President Lyndon B. Johnson said in his State of the Union address that the U.S. military should stay in Vietnam until Communist aggression there was stopped. 2000 In a 5-4 decision, the U.S. Supreme Court, in Illinois vs.Wardlow, gave police broad authority to stop and question people who run at the sight of an officer. 2010 Haiti was struck by a magnitude-7 earthquake; the Haitian government said 316,000 people were killed, while a report prepared for the U.S. Agency for International Development suggested the death toll may have been between 46,000 and 85,000.

OnWest’s passive spade lead, declarer could see eighttricks once the diamond ace was knocked out. He could force another trick in hearts, butin which order should he play the red suits? With no quick entry to dummy outside spades, South could not afford to run allthe spades immediately, which could lose the entry to the diamonds. He did not wantto win an early spade on table and block the suit, so he gave up on the heart finesse,thinking he had tricks to burn. After winning the spade ace, declarer played the heart aceking and a third heart,East giving suit preference for clubs on the second and third rounds. West did wellto shiftto the club king and another club. Now the defense could force a third club trick forEast after scoring the diamond ace. South’s line of play risked East having had five hearts to the queen, which would allow East to establish the setting trick in that suit. However, declarer had a sure-tricks line available. After winning the spade ace, it was best simply to lay down the diamond king, working on the shorter suitfirst. If this held (best), declarer would cash a top heart and then lead a low one to dummy’s jack, establishing hearts while retaining control. If the defenders played passively, declarer would establish a second diamond winner. If they attacked clubs instead, that would set up a different ninth trick. Answer: You have a 10-card spade fit, but that does not mean you should automatically raise to the four-level. The opponents might just double and collect a large penalty if they do not have a game. Meanwhile, your soft cards in the other suits might produce tricks on defense but not on offense. I would bid three spades.
