New position to help police on crisis calls
By Domingo Ramirez
[email protected]
A new mental health coordinator will help police officers in three Tarrant
County suburbs respond to
a growing number of calls
involving mental health
crises.
The coordinator, expected to be hired by Oct. 1,
Wal-Mart
grocery
planned
for Hurst
By Elizabeth Campbell
will help police deal with
suicidal residents, hostage
situations and even hoarders, among other kinds of
calls.
"The police department
spends an ever-increasing
amount of its time and resources dealing with the
segment of our population
who suffer from mental
health issues" said Euless
Police Chief Mike Brown.
"We continue to see a rise
in the number of our residents who are in need of
some type of mental health
intervention."
Statistics in Hurst, Euless and Bedford show the
number of crisis calls has
increased since 2011 in all
three cities. Crisis calls are
those that end with residents being sent to mental
health services with or
without their consent or
taken to jail.
Six years ago, mental
health professionals at
MHMR of Tarrant County
responded to 60 calls per
month from police depart-
ments. These days, the
agency gets about 800 per
month from police agencies.
MHMR officials said the
increase came about because the agency has
reached out to police, and
has had a long working relationship with the Hurst
Police Department.
"We've had a good
working relationship with
those police departments
through the years and this
is just a great idea, " said
Ramey Heddins, director
of mental health support
services at MHMR of Tarrant County. "We have seven on staff now to help

HURST – Amy Bilbo
doesn't have a grocery
store near her home in
south Hurst and has to
drive for at least 15 minutes
to go shopping.
"It's been a little bit of a
beating to drive to the grocery store. We've had construction for so long. Traffic is a deterrent to grocery
shopping, " Bilbo said.
She will soon have a
closer option after plans
were announced for a WalMart Neighborhood Market in a vacant shopping
center at Precinct Line and
Pipeline roads.
City officials said late
last week that the market is
scheduled to open in late
2015 or early 2016.
"This is almost historic
for our city ..., " spokeswoman Ashleigh Johnson
said.
"Public/private partnerships are essential, and
to get a corporate partner
like that is vital. A Neighborhood Market is something we are wanting, and
it's been well-proven that a
Neighborhood Wal-Mart
attracts additional development, " she said.
The shopping center
will be renamed Shops at
Hurst.
Burk Collins, who is developing the Shops at
Hurst, said that the center
has been vacant for about
15 years and that the WalMart market will anchor
the shopping area, which
will have other stores including a Dollar Tree.
Collins said construction could start in late November.
"I don't sleep well with
an empty building just sitting there, " he said.
Anne Hatfield, director
of communications for
Wal-Mart, said the Neighborhood Market will be
41,000 square feet and will
feature plenty of parking,
along with fresh produce, a
bakery, a deli and a pharmacy.
Johnson said that many
people living in south
Hurst are senior citizens

Ultra Dwarf Bermuda grass will soon be installed on all putting greens at theTexas Star Golf Club in Euless
EULESS – Golfers who play regularly at Texas Star are going to
be without a home course for almost four months as the 18-hole
layout gets a major makeover.
But when the course reopens
in October, golfers will find new
greens, traps filled with lilywhite sand and carts equipped
with the latest GPS equipment.
"I'm looking forward to playing this course next year at this
time, " member Dale Harwell
said.
Texas Star Golf Course will be
closed from June 16 to Oct. 1 for
the $372,000 project.
Star-Telegram/Ron Jenkins
The course, which features
tree-lined fairways and a series
of elevation changes, has long
been considered one of the top
municipal courses in the state,
and the work is being done to
maintain its stature, said Glenda
Hartsell, Texas Star's general
manager.
She pointed to Stevens Park
Golf Course in Dallas as an example of another municipal course
that has undergone a successful
renovation.

March approved replacing the

circle is especially confusing right

Policy - General Provisions
A. RATE INCREASES
The Star-Telegram reserves the right to revise advertising rates at any time.
All contracts are accepted subject to this revision. Contracts must be completed
within one (1) year from date of signing. Representatives of the Star-Telegram
are not authorized to make any deviations from these published rates and
regulations, orally or in writing.
B. ADVERTISING GUIDELINES
The Star-Telegram reserves the right to reject or revise any copy for any reason
deemed material by the Publisher. In all cases, the advertiser assumes liability for
the content of all advertising copy printed and agrees to hold the Star-Telegram
blameless from all claims arising therefrom.
In the event the advertiser has prepaid for advertising which is later rejected
or cancelled by the Star-Telegram, the sole liability for such action by the
Star-Telegram shall be a refund of the unused portion of the prepayment for
such cancelled advertising. Advertiser shall not be entitled to any refund or
credit for prepaid advertising which is cancelled by the advertiser after the
first day of publication of the advertisement.
The Star-Telegram reserves the right to review any advertising set to resemble
news matter. Any advertising submitted in this style must, at a minimum, follow
this criteria for consideration for publication:
• C
ontinuous border around entire ad that includes “advertorial” style
copy.
PAID ADVERTISEMENT in all capital letters prominently featured
at the top of the ad in at least 8 point bold type. These words must
appear once for every two-column widths of the ad.
• Fonts in Guardian Sans, Quiosco, or Zocalo typefaces may not be used.
• Ad may not use a news style byline or dateline.
Free standing inserts which resemble editorial content, published by the
Star-Telegram, are subject to review. The Star-Telegram reserves the right to
accept or reject the insert. Advance copies should be received three weeks
prior to insertion date for review.
Any material submitted for publication that contains multiple advertisers that
are not under the same ownership should be received three weeks prior to
distribution for approval. The Star-Telegram reserves the right to refuse any
material that, in its opinion, contains advertising space that was sold by a third
party or at a brokered rate.
All advertising of a drug or medical nature must adhere to the drug and medical
standards of the Publisher and must be received in sufficient time before
publication for consideration by the Publisher.
Advertisers warrant to the Star-Telegram that publication of any advertisement,
including any photograph contained therein, shall not infringe upon any
copyright held by another person.
C. ERROR RESPONSIBILITY
The Star-Telegram cannot assume responsibility for errors in advertisements,
unless Advertising Graphic Services fails to correct errors clearly marked by the
advertiser on proofs returned to the newspaper within deadline requirements,
and then the Star-Telegram’s liability for an error shall be limited to the portion
of the advertisement affected by the error, and in no event shall such liability
exceed the advertisement in which the error occurs.
Notice of errors must be given in time for correction before additional
insertions are made.
All errors in advertisements (claims for error adjustment) must be reported
to the Star-Telegram within 30 days of publication. The Star-Telegram reserves
the right to adjust only those errors reported within this specific period.
No allowance will be made for errors that do not materially affect the value of
the advertisement.
On multiple insertion ads, credit for errors will be allowed on the first insertion only.
In the event of non-publication of copy furnished, no liability shall exist on the
part of the Star-Telegram, except that no charge shall be made therefore.
Billing discrepancies must be resolved within the calendar year the error occurred.
D. COLOR AND INSERT CAPACITY
At certain times of the year, the company may reach its capacity to handle
color advertising and preprinted inserts. The earlier reservations are submitted
for these two areas, the less likely problems will occur. In the event that
capacity is reached, advertiser requests for color and preprinted inserts will be
filled on a priority basis.

for more than 30 days after publication unless instructions to return at
