Corinth, DCTA renew talks for A-train station

The A-train passes through Corinth at a crossing on Corinth Parkway on Thursday. Corinth is rebooting its discussions for a station in city limits.

LEWISVILLE — The city of Corinth could soon take another swing at joining the Denton County Transportation Authority after making the pitch to build another A-train station there.

The DCTA board was briefed on the talks during its work session Thursday afternoon, after representatives from Corinth and DCTA recently rebooted talks. Tom Winterburn, Corinth’s representative on the DCTA board, said the current City Council is more amenable than previous councils.

“I feel good about the progress,” Winterburn said.

Residents in all four Lake Cities — Corinth, Lake Dallas, Shady Shores and Hickory Creek — are also being surveyed to gather information about public transportation needs in a systematic way, Winterburn said.

In 2006, Corinth was poised to join DCTA late. The transit agency was created when voters in Denton, Lewisville and Highland Village agreed to fund the agency with a half-cent sales tax in 2003; Corinth residents voted no. As the designs for the A-train came together, the leaders of North Central Texas College expressed interest in a stop near the Corinth campus. Eventually, the City Council was persuaded to call another sales tax election for DCTA in Corinth.

But the council was also deeply split. The week after the council vote, one council member changed her mind. The vote was reconsidered and the call for the election rescinded. Voters never got a second time at the plate.

While Corinth hasn’t grown a lot in the past decade, a significant amount of growth is coming, including apartment complexes and mixed-use developments. City Manager Bob Hart said a commuter rail station could both encourage redevelopment and stimulate new development in the city.

“The transit station is an integral part of this vision,” Hart said in an email. “As Corinth is becoming increasingly urban, it is important that we provide the transportation infrastructure necessary to move the community forward and maintain its economic competitiveness within the region.”

Corinth has proposed forming a tax-increment finance district along the Interstate 35E and the A-train corridor to help pay for the project. Such special taxing districts have proved effective in the past in capturing the increased value around a public improvement project and helping pay for it.

DCTA President Raymond Suarez said it’s too soon to say much about the project — from where the station might be located to how much the deal would cost to how long it would take before a new station could open along the line.

No other Denton County cities have joined since the agency was formed, in part because the equity Denton, Lewisville and Highland Village have in DCTA totals in the tens of millions of dollars.

Corinth may have to figure out how to fund not only the station and its operations, but other enhancements to the system. For example, the A-train’s 20-mile line between Denton and Carrollton has only one track in some sections, which can contribute to longer delays when there is an incident. A double track over Lewisville Lake would be among the biggest game-changers for the system by allowing more frequent runs, a feature that often boosts ridership, transit experts say.

The change comes just as the Texas Legislature is poised to change the agency’s board structure. Currently, all 14 representatives on the DCTA board are voting members, a carryover from the agency’s creation almost 20 years ago. The law, which could go into effect as soon as the end of April, would limit voting powers to the member cities and two county representatives.

The board is expected to continue with nonvoting representation from cities around the county and to have the option to bring new voting members on board after their cities join.

Apartments Lewisville And Finding Your Next Place To Live

If you want to find apartments Lewisville has to offer, you’re in the right place. Here, you can learn what you need to know about apartments that are on the market. Make sure you take your time to really research your options so you can pick out a place that suits you.

An apartment should be in livable shape before you move into it. If you find that there are any issues with a place before you rent it, let the owner know that you won’t rent the place until it’s fixed up and in livable shape. You don’t want to rent a place that has problems because then they become your issues to deal with which can be a big pain to deal with. There are plenty of good apartments out there so don’t think you have to be stuck with one that is not in good shape.

See if you can find reviews on the apartment complexes you’re interested in renting apartments in. You want to find out what people have had to say about the apartments in recent weeks so you can see whether it’s a nice place for you to live or not. You want to make sure you read about the pros and cons of living in a place to really get familiar with whether it’s a good fit for you or not. Never just rent a random place without looking it up because you may end up in a place that is not that nice.

Find out what you’re going to have to pay to live in an apartment before you sign a lease. You need to figure out what it’s going to cost you to rent the place and what you’ll have to pay for things like utilities. Also remember that you’re going to have to have money for groceries and any of your other needs. Make sure you have extra money left over as well that you can save for emergency situations. If you can’t afford an apartment after you do the math, you shouldn’t rent it and need to find something that’s within your price range instead.

Get to know what a place has to offer in the way of amenities. For instance, you may be able to get an apartment that’s in a complex that has laundry facilities for you to use. Another great addition to apartments would be pools that you could use when it gets hot outside. Learn what you’re going to get with an apartment to see if it’s worth renting for you. Go look at the amenities in person before renting the place so you can know whether they are in order or not.

Apartments Lewisville has to offer are not all going to be the best choice for you and your family. You have to make sure you look through each of your options. When you research apartments that are on the market, you can end up finding one that works for you the most.

Taylor selected as Albert Einstein Educator Fellows

Kellie Taylor, Emmett, Teacher of Engineering at Galileo Elementary in Eagle selected as an Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellows, making her one of the most accomplished STEM teachers in the country.

Some of the nation’s most accomplished STEM teachers representing ten states will apply classroom experience to federal, congressional and executive branch offices.

Kellie Taylor, Emmett, a K-5 engineering teacher at Galileo STEM Academy in Eagle, has been selected as an Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellows, making her one of the most accomplished STEM teachers in the country. She will join 13 other accomplished K-12 science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) teachers from across the US, who have been named 2018-2019 Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellows, for a year in Washington, D.C. beginning in September. They will spend 11 months serving in a federal agency or U.S. Congressional office in Washington, D.C., engaged in the national STEM education arena.

The 2018-2019 Einstein Fellows are: Brenda Bartlett, Alexandria, Va.; Stephanie Harry, Hampton, Va.; Cheryl Manning, Evergreen, Colo.; Kate McCann, Montpelier, Vt.; Sharon McPherson, Stafford, Va.; Cammie Newmyer, Monte Vista, Colo.; Pascale Pinner, Hilo, HI; Shawn Sheehan, Lewisville, TX; Brian Silver, Honolulu, HI; Rachel Stagner, Portland, Ore.; Michelle Steever, San Jose, Calif.; Kellie Taylor, Emmett, ID.; Andi Webb, Fayetteville, N. C. and Cinde Wirth, Columbus, Ind.

Taylor said, “I am honored and excited to be selected as a 2018-2019 Albert Einstein Distinguished Educator Fellowship Program with the Library of Congress. As an AEF Fellow, I will have the opportunity to contribute to science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) education efforts at the Federal level. I will serve my primary appointment at the Library of Congress Educational Outreach/Scholarly and Educational Programs/National and International Outreach. I will learn about the Library of Congress collections that relate to science, and about the science being done at the Library in order to 1) contribute to the development of classroom materials for the Teachers page of the Library of Congress website, write for publications, and contribute to social media efforts; 2) develop and deliver professional development to educators at the Library and in other venues, e.g. conferences, with peer institutions, and online; 3) visit and observe classrooms and schools where teachers are using the Library’s resources; 4) give presentations to a variety of groups in and outside of the Library to raise the visibility of the Library’s programs for K-12 education and how other Library divisions and programs can successfully reach and serve this audience; and 5) participate in planning efforts related to possible maker spaces within the Library.”

The Einstein Fellows teachers come from K-12 schools across the country and represent diverse teaching backgrounds—with expertise in computer science, engineering, science and mathematics. Federal agencies and U.S. Congressional Offices will benefit from fellows’ real-world experiences as educators. In return, Einstein Fellows will gain understanding of the role of the Federal Government in the U.S. education enterprise, knowledge of resources available to students and educators, and broader perspectives on national education issues that can be applied to the classroom or to leadership positions in their districts or elsewhere.

The AEF Program, now in its 28th year of operation, is managed by the U.S. Department of Energy Office of Science’s Office of Workforce Development for Teachers and Scientists in collaboration with the sponsoring agencies and the Oak Ridge Institute for Science and Education.

Current sponsoring agencies of the AEF Program include DOE, the National Science Foundation, the Library of Congress, and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration. In addition to sponsoring placements at DOE headquarters, DOE sponsors five placements in U.S. Congressional offices.

Rep. Michael Burgess gives new light to Joe Barton’s bulb bill

Rep. Joe Barton’s bill to repeal 2007 energy standards did not gain enough votes Tuesday to pass the House. Rep Michael Burgess, background, introduced an amendment Wednesday that would be included in the Energy and Water spending bill. (AP Photo/Lauren Victoria Burke)

House conservatives are hoping to resurrect Friday their battle to repeal a federal law that would phase out some incandescent light bulbs.

Rep. Michael Burgess, R-Lewisville, is sponsoring the amendment that would block funding for the Department of Energy to enforce the energy standards that would require be 30 percent more energy efficient by 2012.

Burgess said he opposes the new light bulb rule on the basis that it is “federal overreach” for the government to regulate consumer choices about how to illuminate their homes.

“The federal government can’t tell me what type of wave-length I read by at home,” he said. “The federal government has no business, no right to do that.”

The 2007 law doesn’t ban incandescent light bulbs but instead creates new efficiency standards for bulbs. Under that law, the old 100-watt incandescent bulb will disappear from store shelves in January 2012, with 75-watt, 60-watt and 40-watt bulbs following.

Supporters of the energy standards maintain that the new energy efficient bulbs save consumers money through reduced electric bills.

The Natural Resources Defense Council issued a report last Friday defending the new standards and asserting that they could save Americans $12.5 billion in energy costs nationally by 2020.

House conservatives failed earlier this week to block the new rule when repeal legislation sponsored by Rep. Joe Barton, R-Ennis, received 233 votes — a majority in the 435-member House — but didn’t receive the necessary two-thirds (290votes) required to approve legislation that would repeal the 2007 standards entirely.

By contrast, Burgess is sponsoring an amendment to an appropriations bill and therefore needs to win a simply majority vote.

Any move to repeal the 2007 law or to block its enforcement faces an uncertain future in the Senate.

Business Beat: Parkview on Hollybrook senior project now complete

The long-delayed Parkview on Hollybrook senior living complex is finished, with 88 assisted living and memory units now ready for occupancy.

Executive Director Amy Morton said she has hired 40 employees and plans to recruit about 40 more to work in positions that include resident care, cooks, dish washers, housekeepers and drivers. The assisted living building is located at 601 Hollybrook Drive, next to the independent living building, which opened in September.

The assisted living building is licensed for 88 units while the independent living one has 126 units, Morton said.

NE Construction of Lewisville applied a year ago for a commercial alteration permit from the city, with construction valued at $300,000, to complete the assisted-living center. The permit also called for making fixes the Texas Department of Aging and Disability ordered after it conducted an inspection in 2017.

Thrive FP, a private equity group in Austin, paid $20.7 million in September 2016 for the unfinished development, which sat idle and incomplete for longer than a year after its previous owners ran into financial challenges.

Work on the project stopped in 2015 when construction went over budget, according to documents filed in bankruptcy court by Zerga Phin-Ker, the partnership that began building the project in 2013.

Thrive FP plans a grand opening in July, said Anthony Fulco, director of acquisitions.

For more information, visit parkviewonhollybrook.com.

Exit Strategy expands

Exit Strategy Escape Room, a business offering live-action multiplayer games for all ages that opened this past July, is adding a third room, owner Amy Calk said.

Calk, who brought a background in the telecom field to Exit Strategy, said she is adding a room with the theme Escape from Jurassic Island to rooms with the themes Killer Cabins and Is the Price Right? The new room is scheduled to open Friday at Exit Strategy, 1905 W. Loop 281, Suite 63.

However, Calk explained that she changes the themes of the rooms from time to time, like a movie theater changing its selection of films.

“You don’t want to go back to the same place with the same theme,” Calk said. She added she started with the themes Mona Lisa and Mindcraft.

Exit Strategy offers games where as many as eight players enter themed rooms where they put down their cellphones and work as a group to find clues and hidden objects, Calk has said. Each game takes about an hour.

Exit Strategy is open from 7 p.m. to midnight Friday, noon to 10 p.m. Saturday and 2 to 7 p.m. Sunday. However, Calk said she will carry out summer hours beginning June 4 of 3 to 10 p.m. Wednesday through Saturday.

For more information, visit exitstrategylongview.com.

Local Fortune 500 ties

Fourteen companies with strong ties to the Longview area made the Fortune 500 list.

The Fortune 500 companies with local ties, according to a compilation by the Longview Chamber of Commerce, are Sysco, General Dynamics, Halliburton, Nucor Steel, Community Health Systems (Longview Regional Medical Center), AEP-SWEPCO, KinderMorgan, U.S. Steel, Republic Services, Eastman Chemical, CenterPoint Energy, Westlake Chemical, Tractor Supply and Dollar General, which is building a distribution center in Longview.

“The outlook is healthy for Longview,” Kelly Hall, president and CEO of the chamber, said in a statement. “With local expansions, the opening of Dollar General (distribution center) and oil prices tracking at over $70 per barrel, Longview is positioned well.”

New restaurant, bakery

Blanca Montoya and her parents Jose and Esther Montoya were planning last week to open Panaderia La Morelos on Monday at 1409 Pine Tree Road.

Montoya said she is taking the name for the Mexican restaurant and bakery from her parents’ hometown in Mexico.

She said her father has baked bread while her mother likes to cook. Montoya said she formerly worked for a business that delivered sandwiches to several locations.

Montoya said Panaderia La Morelos has seating for 14 people and will be open from 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. daily.

Public Storage Opens New Frisco, Texas, Storage Facility Dummy Post

Public Storage at 2047 Witt Rd. in Frisco, Texas, opened today with more than 750 spaces to serve the fast-growing suburb of Plano. (Photo: Business Wire)

FRISCO, Texas–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Apr 27, 2018–Public Storage (NYSE:PSA) opened a new two-story self-storage facility today in one of Plano’s fastest-growing suburbs to help residents–both new and longtime–find more room close to home. The construction project is part of the company’s ongoing effort to expand in North Texas.

This press release features multimedia. View the full release here: https://www.businesswire.com/news/home/20180427005757/en/

The Public Storage at 2047 Witt Rd, Frisco, TX 75034 opened with more than 750 storage spaces conveniently near FM 423, the Dallas North Tollway and Lake Lewisville.

The self-storage units will serve locals in the rapidly growing area who are moving to Frisco and Little Elm, which saw nearly 40 percent and 64 percent population increases, respectively, between 2010 and 2016. Many new residents are flocking to the area for jobs at major corporations that now call North Texas home.

The low cost of living and brand new housing options in the area, which is about a 30-minute commute to Plano, are drawing in young families and hard workers nationwide who are ready to set down roots in a tight-knit community.

It’s the second location Public Storage has opened in the city since 2015 due to high demand.

“People moving to Frisco are moving from cities across the country, and they’re turning to Public Storage because it’s a trusted brand name that they know,” said Miranda Balduf, a Public Storage manager in North Texas.

Whether residents are moving to town, making room for a new family member or preparing to store their seasonal gear, they can expect new storage units in a range of sizes to fit their needs, from small to extra-large. And an energy-efficient, climate-control system to store their stuff comfortably between uses.

Company Information

We help customers in their time of need, whether moving, downsizing or storing for business. Public Storage was founded in 1972 with a single Southern California self-storage building. We’ve grown a bit since then, to more than 2,392 locations around the country, making us the largest in the business today and a member of the S&P 500. We offer self-storage options of all shapes and sizes and the same personal attention from on-site managers that we’ve been giving from day one.

Body Found In Lewisville Creek Bed

LEWISVILLE (CBSDFW.COM) – According to Lewisville police, a dead body was found in the 900 block of Grandy’s Lane. Police say the adult male body was at the bottom of a dry creek bed, and noticed by a person walking in the area.

Police were later able to identify the person as 58-year-old Lonny Lee, who had been missing since Sunday.

“His roommate said he had left Sunday morning to go walk to his pharmacy up on FM 407,” says Lewisville police captain Dan Rochelle.

Investigators had checked the routes Lee might have taken, but couldn’t immediately check in with his pharmacy as it was closed for Labor Day. Lee was found dead just before 9 a.m. Tuesday.

It’s not clear what medicines Lee was taking, but officials say there appears to be no indication of foul play. “There’s nothing that would suggest suicide either, but sometimes the medical examiner will find something that escapes us in the field,” says Rochelle.

An official cause of death is still pending.

Assessments will be disrupted: Is a performance approach the future of testing?

Testing’s disruption is inevitable and the space is ripe for it, Andreas Oranje, principal research director at the Educational Testing Service (ETS) told a crowd gathered at SXSWedu 2018 this week. He predicated that, in the next 10 years, assessments and testing would be "inseparably connected" to optimal learning, that having the right data would matter more than ever, and that at least 95% of current ed tech offerings would be gone or obsolete because they don’t really provide value as tools.

Perhaps most notably, he pointed out that assessments are approximations, but that the closer they get to the real thing being measured, the less inferential distance there is between a student’s abilities and evidence of those abilities.

Essentially: There’s more of a direct measurement of a student’s ability to perform a given task the more an assessment actually involves that actual activity.

That’s where performance assessment comes in.

On Wednesday afternoon assessment experts and administrators from Ohio and Texas discussed the approaches they are taking on that front.

The Fortune 500 Most Valued Skills were, in 2010, topped by teamwork, problem-solving, interpersonal skills, oral communication and listening skills, said Ray Pecheone, executive director of the Stanford Center for Assessment, Learning & Equity (SCALE). Additionally, deeper learning competencies put forward by the Hewlett Foundation include mastering core academic content, thinking critically and solving complex problems, working collaboratively, communicating effectively, learning how to learn, and developing academic mindsets.

Current standardized testing and curriculum models are not solving this problem. Pecheone cited educator John Dewey’s desire for his own children to foster a joy of learning, equipped with the skills and competencies to pursue their own learning, saying that this is at the heart of testing differently.

Barriers to practice in assessing these 21st century skills continue to persist, however, because paced and scripted curriculum that is test-based continue to essentially serve as test prep for high-stakes state assessments. Master schedules are also overloaded, suppressing peer and teacher collaboration. People need time to talk, Pecheone said, adding that the international community knows these things well.

Performance assessment, the panelists explained, is delivered in a range of "grain sizes." The smallest grain sizes are tasks that can be performed in one class period, performed by students on an individual basis, while the largest are essentially projects embedded in curriculum and can take a few weeks to complete. The questions must also be open, providing room for students to find their way to the solution in the ways that work best for them. But the most important aspect, perhaps, is that they make a task authentic for students, providing real-world relevance and context.

Sean Hood, a secondary literacy and language arts administrator for the Lewisville (TX) Independent School District, reiterated this, saying that the tasks must contextualize skills for students as to why they’re important. The study of Shakespearean plays, for example, can strengthen critical thinking around rhetorical messages. It’s about answering the questions of why you need to know this so you can apply it in ways that matter in your life.

“When we sit at the state level, our ultimate goal is two-fold,” said Ohio Superintendent of Public Instruction Paolo DeMaria, adding that leaders have to make the state assessment system make sense.

At the state level, he added, it’s increasingly apparent that, partially due to federal policy, standardized assessments have been put in place as the gauge for how well schools and districts are doing, and as the main tool to measure what students know. But it’s becoming apparent that there are multiple ways for students to demonstrate what they know and can do.

“What we also want to do is create an assessment system that interfaces with good instructional practice,” DeMaria said, adding that he never wants to hear students say that what they think they can do after they learn something, like how to read, is “do well on the test.”

The movements toward performance assessment in Ohio, Texas and other states are largely grass-roots.

In Ohio, Christa Krohn, a K-8 instructional math coach, said the Orange City School District, is in the third year of working on performance assessment. They started out with a personalized learning grant from the Ohio Department of Education. First, they had to learn what a performance assessment was, why they needed it, and the “grain sizes” of the assessments. They also had to learn how to author performance assessments.

In the second year, they started looking at the blueprints for standardized tests. They added people to their cohort, which currently includes has six districts in the state. They are field-testing right now, focusing on Algebra I, math in 6th grade, science and American history. To build capacity, they just received money from the Council of Chief State School Officers (CCSSO) to train more districts in the state.

Texas’ experience has been similar, Hood said, noting that "the want to do it is there" among teachers. Those experimenting want something new, but administrators have to figure out what that means and how to prepare them for this while ensuring reliability in what teachers are seeing.

“Addressing the adult needs in this work is huge,” said Eric Simpson, the director of learning and leadership services for the Texas Association of School Administrators. He noted that a lot of professional learning is needed. The teaching profession is about observing and giving feedback and finding what’s causing the results, and it has to move toward teachers becoming assessors rather than just receiving assessment data.

Asserting that performance assessment, then, should lead students to a deeper level of learning and thinking, having them tackle complex problems in unique and creative ways, the panelists played a video showing examples of performance assessment for math and science. Ohio students at several grade levels were seen collaborating in a peer-learning environment to solve problems around multiplication, volume, and physics.

To provide further elaboration on what these approaches look like structurally, SCALE has developed a convenient resource bank for educators.

The technical realities of being able to flip a switch and use performance-based assessment are still complex, though, because of things like federal requirements. So policy change remains a necessity in the long run. The more states get onboard with these efforts and demonstrate reliable results, the more likely that will become.

“It’s going to be an interesting time to watch how this develops,” DeMaria said.

Yesteryear: Denton’s African-American community owes much to Fred Moore

Editor’s note: Keith Shelton is a former editor of the Record-Chronicle and retired University of North Texas journalism professor. He wrote this story for the newspaper back in the 1970s. We reprint it here as part of our observance of Black History Month.

***

Any history of the black community in Denton has to revolve around three things — the school, the churches and Fred Moore.

A grandson of slaves whose parents were illiterate and whose father was a Native American, Frederick Douglass Moore built a successful business as a barber with all white clients, got himself educated through a master’s degree from Columbia University in New York and saw the Fred Moore School through its creation and expansion.

DRC

He helped the black community get the school, the Fred Moore Park and the cemetery space in Southeast Denton. His leadership set many a black child on the path to self-improvement and career success.

Moore was responsible for the first paved streets in Denton’s black community, which was mostly segregated back in his day. He also lectured to many classes at what is now the University of North Texas and Texas Woman’s University.

His daughters were Denton leaders themselves. Alice Alexander retired after 45 years of teaching, 41 of them at Fred Moore School. [Denton ISD school board recently named an elementary school after Alexander]. Hazel Young taught in Gainesville for 19 years and a dozen years in Denton. She was assistant director of the Fred Moore Day Nursery. Daisy Moore Punch retired after 25 years as a maid at Bruce Hall at UNT. Lela LaBlondell Moore worked at a hospital for 37 years. Two of his sons died during childhood.

In addition, Moore’s wife, Sadie, was a well-known seamstress in Denton, sewing for stores, the universities, theater groups and others.

Fred Moore’s father disappeared when Fred was born on Jan. 1, 1875. Fred was raised by his stepfather, Henry Lucian Moore, who was once a servant to Sam Bass, an infamous Texas outlaw. Henry Moore came to Denton about the time the first courthouse was built.

Henry Lucian Moore was the first black janitor at UNT. He died in the early 1920s.

Fred Moore was named by Dr. Lucile Owsley a white woman doctor, after Fred Douglass, the journalist, orator and anti-slavery leader. Fred’s mother, Janie, was a cook and housekeeper in the home of Alvin Owsley, a prominent Denton leader, and grew up as part of the family.

Fred Moore met his wife at a Juneteenth celebration in Lewisville. He was playing cornet in a 14-piece band he had formed. He also organized a string band that played for white social events and had a minstrel show.

Moore became know as "Professor" Moore, later shortened to "Prof" Moore.

The Moores were married in 1902 in a big church wedding. Sadie made her own wedding dress.

The Moore home was a stop for circuit preachers, who exerted an influence on Fred Moore. The Moore home was at 501 Center St. in a white neighborhood. They had many white neighbors, including Ann Sheridan, who became a famous actress. She lived on Bernard Street.

Moore put in his barbershop under the Denton County National Bank on the downtown Square. His barbers included Jack Allen, George Whitten, Duck Crow and E.J. Milam. Edward Watson shined shoes.

He moved his barber shop to Oak Street, just off the Square. He cut hair for eight or nine years. In about 1910, Sadie urged him to go to school and become a teacher. He studied at home and got a certificate by examination.

Just prior to World War I, Moore became principal of what was then the Fred Douglass School, a four-room school with only one teacher, Ella Hampton.

He borrowed money to go to Prairie View A&M University in the summers starting in 1917 and by 1921 he graduated. Not content, he went to Fisk College in Nashville to work on his master’s and later went to Columbia University.

As at teacher, Moore always was immaculate. He even wore a coat to the breakfast table, his daughters remembered. He taught Latin and was a counselor in addition to being principal. He had 15 or 20 pairs of shoes. He thought if he looked good, it would let students know they were supposed to be well groomed.

His students every day found a different quotation on the board urging them to improve.

Sadie Moore started teaching in 1928.

Among the longtime teachers at the school were Beulah Taylor, Mary Lee Burrow, Eva Hodge, Olivia Ammons, Gladys Johnson, Pauline Smith, Lucille Nix, Parthenia Brooks, Emma Jones and Eula Ray.

All of the Moore children went to the Fred Douglass-Fred Moore School.

When he was 19, Fred Moore became Sunday School superintendent of the Mt. Pilgrim CME Church.

He was instrumental in getting the five-acre park now known as Fred Moore Park.

Moore and four others raised $70 to buy some land for the black community to bury its dead. That was not enough money, but white leaders who admired their work gave them the land. It was there that Moore was buried when he died in 1953.

Fred Moore also was involved when the black community was forced to leave what is now called Quakertown. They moved "across the wire" to what was named the Fred Moore Addition.

The black area bounded by McKinney Street, Oakland Street, Vine Street and Bell Avenue had a lodge hall and the AME Church, which had a school. One resident was E.W. Morton, a physician.

St. James AME Church was built on Oakland Street in 1899. It was moved to Southeast Denton in 1922.

Rufus Tankersley opened a barber and beauty shop and a cafe in the new African-American community. Marvin Alexander, husband of Alice Moore Alexander, had a theater, a drug store, a grocery store, a hotel and a tailor shop,

One of the oldest businesses in Denton was the Citizens Undertaking Company, operated by William Jones.. His widow and nephew operated the funeral home after he died.

A center of religious and social activity in the black community has always been the church. Mt. Pilgrim, St. James, Pleasant Grove, St. Emanuel Baptist and St. Andrew Church of God in Christ are very old churches, some much more than 100 years old.

St. Andrew was organized by the Rev. Fred L. Haynes, father of former UNT and professional football player Abner Haynes. He was pastor for 46 years and became a bishop of the church.

The Rev. M.P. Lambert and his son, Luther Lambert, were pastors of St. James.

Another major element in the black community has been the Lakey Street American Legion Post No. 840. It was organized just after World War II. For many years it was led by Noble Holland. It has been a community service center since its beginning, known as a social meeting place. It has sponsored food baskets for the needy, collected clothing and furniture for people whose homes burned, sponsored candidates’ forums.

It formerly was the Penn, Reynolds Jones Post, named for three men killed in World War II. Robert Williams was the first commander. Marvin Alexander did the main carpentry work. The post was dedicated in April of 1957.

Holland was a Navy veteran of the South Pacific on a transport. A resident of Denton from 1924, he worked for UNT and TWU for 30 years. He later worked for the Denton post office.
