By Jess PaniszczynADDISON - The skies over

Addison were filled with airplanes and fireworks on the evening of July 3 as the Addison Kaboom Town! got underway.

The evening began with the Addison Airport Air Show, which featured aerobatic pilots, intricate flight formations and historic war-birds from the Cavanaugh Flight Museum. As darkness fell, pilots Dan Buchanan and Bill Leff pro-vided a grand finale of night aero-batics.

Following the air show, one of the most celebrated fireworks shows in the nation exploded over Addison. Over a half million people crowded in and around the city to a part of this year’s Kaboom Town.

From early in the day, hours before the actual event begins, the areas in and around the Addison Airport are crowded and parking is scarce. Positioned near Addi-son Airport, Consolidated Armor Products offered DFW NewsFlash photographer John Starkey their hospitality and uniquely situated vantage point from which to work

Bishop “DD” Hayes has audience with Pope Francis in Rome

By Jess PaniszczynAfter years of meetings, plans,

discussions and negotiations, local drivers may begin seeing dirt fly and concrete move in the recon-struction of SH-183 by next sum-mer. A veritable who’s who of area officials came together to announce the project’s progress and its expan-sion to include portions of SH-114, Loop-12, and the Irving Diamond Interchange.

State Representative for District

105, Linda Harper Brown, hosted the gathering at the University of Dallas on June 28.

“Construction will begin in 2014,” Harper Brown said. “We will have the contracts signed in Janu-ary. Then in the next few months we will move forward. We have had several private entities very inter-ested in this project, so we are very pleased with that, because it will move forward quickly.

By Elaine PaniszczynWith temperatures in the 90’s

and a Roman sun beating down on his head, Bishop “DD” Hayes, Senior Chaplain for DFW Air-port Interfaith Chaplaincy, looked out from the stage where he sat into a what he described as a “sea of people” in Saint Peter’s Square in Rome, Italy. Bishop Hayes and

the crowd, which he estimated to be 5,000 to 6,000 people, waited to hear Pope Francis speak Wed., June 19. Afterwards, Bishop Hayes had a personal audience with the Pope.

“I’ve been told that the audi-ences have quadrupled since Pope Francis took over and Pope Bene-dict resigned,” Bishop Hayes said.

Tsa wEEK in REViEw PoLiCE REPoRT

n 30 Firearms Discovered This Week – Of the 30 firearms, 27 were loaded and eight had rounds cham-bered.

n On Your Mark… – A starter pistol loaded with six blanks was discovered in a carry-on bag at Baltimore (BWI). Sure it shoots blanks, but it looks like the real deal, makes a loud bang, and could cause a lot of angst if some-body pulled it out in the cabin of an aircraft, which TSA cannot permit.

n Inert Ordnance and Grenades etc. – Ten live/inert/novelty/replica grenades were discovered this week. Six were discovered in carry-on bags at Seattle (SEA), Dallas (DAL), Las Vegas (LAS), Honolulu (HNL), Phoenix (PHX), and Portland (PDX). The other four were discovered in checked bags at Akron Canton (CAK), Las Vegas (LAS), Wash-ington Dulles (IAD), and San Jose (SJC). The grenade at PDX was a live flashbang grenade and the grenade at IAD was a live smoke grenade.

Two battery-charged initiators were discovered in a carry-on bag at Minneapolis (MSP).

An empty M60 igniter was discovered on a key ring at San Diego (SAN). Pro Tip – While these do make interesting key rings, they can also be used in harmful way. So… best not to bring them.

n Stun Guns – 14 stun guns were discovered this week in carry-on bags around the nation. Two were discov-ered at Denver (DEN), two more were discovered at Chicago Midway (MDW), and the others were found at Nashville (BNA), Boise (BOI), Columbia (CAE), Detroit (DTW), North-west Florida Beaches (ECP), Las Vegas (LAS), Orlando (MCO), Phoenix (PHX), San Francisco (SFO), and Sacramento (SMF).

n Items in the Strangest Places – A credit card knife was discovered at Los Angeles (LAX).

n What Not to Say at an Airport – While checking his bag at Philadelphia (PHL) a passenger stated: “Take care of my bag, it might blow up.”

n Public Intoxication: June 27, 5:36 p.m.In reference to a disturbance at Terminal E, officers dis-

covered a man who was unsteady on his feet and smelled of alcohol. At first he said, “I had a couple” of drinks and later said, “I had 3 shots.” He told officers it was “Friday” but it was Thursday. At one point he stumbled, tripping over his own feet while swaying. An officer asked him to take a seat on the floor for his safety. He was becoming more emotional and confused about his situation, was denied boarding his flight, and began to cry/bawl and lose control of his sinuses. He had mucus/snot streaming from his nose. He was arrested for Public Intoxication.n Theft: June 27, 6:25 p.m.

In a telephone report, a traveler said somebody took her gold Rolex watch valued at $10,000 while she was be-ing processed through TSA screening in Terminal E. She said her Rolex had a gold face and band with diamonds and four rubies. The rubies were at the 12, 3, 6 and 9. The Rolex did not have any engravings or a serial number. She said she got separated from her carry-on bag during the TSA screen-ing process because her Rolex and earrings set off screening alarms. She then placed her Rolex in a TSA bucket by itself to be screened. She left the checkpoint with her carry-on bag but without the watch. She said she returned about 10 min-utes later to find her watch missing.

TSA personnel told her no watches were located or turned in to them. The lady said she was standing in line next to a family of seven during the TSA screening process when she left her Rolex watch behind. She later saw the family of seven on the sterile side of Terminal E. The family said they were still gathering their belongings at the checkpoint when a Hispanic, female TSA agent asked if anyone had left behind a watch, but the agent left the checkpoint before the owner of the Rolex watch returned. The owner said a bald, black, male TSA agent with a slender build told her he remembered seeing her with the missing Rolex watch. The owner of the watch described herself as 5 feet 11 inches tall, weighing 185 pounds, with blonde hair and wearing a black dress with grey cowboy boots at the time of the theft. n Theft: June 27, 8:40 p.m.

A flight attendant arrived at Terminal C at about 2 p.m. and took the Employee Parking Bus from the Lower Level Roadway to the first stop at 6E Employee Parking. He said he used his cell phone during the bus ride. After he drove home, he discovered his cell phone was missing. He used the Find Friend application as well as Find My iPhone to track the cell phone to an apartment complex in Dallas at I-635 and Skill-man Street. He attempted to call and text his cell phone but received no reply.

The missing cell phone is a black Apple iPhone 4S,

16GB ($600), with a black Ballistic case ($50). An offense report for Theft $500<$1,500 was filed.n Public Intoxication: June 30, 1:52 a.m.

On South International Parkway, a vehicle used the U-turn and then changed lanes and took exits repeatedly with-out signaling. An officer stopped the vehicle and smelled a strong odor of alcohol inside the vehicle. The driver had bloodshot eyes, slurred speech and poor dexterity when get-ting her license. She said she had one beer and one shot be-tween the hours of 9 and 11 pm. After further investigation, she was arrested for Driving While Intoxicated. Her passenger said she had also been drinking and did not feel comfortable driving. Testing showed the passenger was intoxicated, and she was arrested for Public Intoxication. Before leaving the vehicle, she asked to take her cell phone. Inside her purse, the officer saw a prescription medication bottle for medica-tion prescribed for a third person. The passenger said the pills belong to her grandmother, and she was taking them for panic attacks. n Public Intoxication: June 30, 3:18 p.m.

In Terminal B, officers arrived to investigate the report of an irate passenger. The culprit was a white male who seemed agitated and appeared to have been crying. When they asked if he had a boarding pass, the man fumbled through his pockets producing some coupons to a Texas Rangers baseball game, a letter stating the Texas DPS had suspended a Texas Driver’s License, and numerous crumpled receipts. He said he was upset because he was supposed to fly to Amarillo but was bumped. He said he was on a “buddy pass” and was passed over five times in his attempt to fly standby.

Officers walked him down to the gate where the next flight to Amarillo was to board at 4:35 p.m. On the way there, one officer noticed the smell of alcohol on the man’s breath and asked if he had been drinking. He said he had two drinks. He was having a difficult time carrying his duffel bag and stumbled as he walked. The officer mentioned this apparent difficulty to the man who asked the officer to carry the bag for him. The officer declined.

At the gate, the officer asked again how much alco-hol he had to drink, and he said four Long Island Ice Teas. He then started frantically looking through his bag for his cell phone and yelling he had given it to the officers at the other gate. The officers had not seen his cell phone. The man started begging the officers to help him find his phone. He was screaming and waving his arms. He screamed that he had to call home at 1:30 p.m. today. He thought it was 1:30 p.m. He again asked the officer to carry his bag down to the gate. The officer told him he was already at the correct gate for his Amarillo flight. He became even more agitated stating

his father would kill him if he did not call home by 1:30 p.m. It was 3:44 p.m.

Officers arrested him for Public Intoxication. The man became enraged and started shrieking and growling and struggling with officers. They put him in a wheel chair be-cause of his intoxicated state. He screamed out, “Let me run so you can shoot me!” “You are going to take me to Dallas Jail and let the ******* rape me!” “You guys are going to take me outside and beat me and rape me!” During a search of the man at the curb outside, he lunged forward with his head and bit the patrol vehicle antennae with his teeth. An officer moved him away from the back of the police vehicle and the antennae came out of his mouth.

It took three officers to place the man inside the ve-hicle. Immediately, the man started to bang his forehead on the back of the Plexiglas partition and to kick the side win-dows with his cowboy boots. n Public Intoxication: June 30, 11:40 p.m.

Officers went to Terminal E Satellite in reference to intoxicated passengers. They found a female sitting on the floor with her head in her hands. A male passenger said that she had just returned from near the restrooms where she had vomited all over the floor. The woman gave no response, but a female traveling with her said she was okay but was upset because she just broke up with her boyfriend. The woman raised her head and said, “I am fine. I’m just upset. Leave me alone.” The woman smelled of alcohol, and she said she had “only 2 glasses of champagne.”

At 11:50 p.m., an airline manager arrived on scene and said because of her behavior and level of intoxication, he was going to deny her boarding her next flight. The woman be-gan yelling profanities at the manager. She used the extend-ed handle of her carry-on bag for balance as she stood yelling profanities. When she let go of the handle, she almost fell. The woman’s friend said she was going to leave her friend at the airport and continue on her trip. The woman was placed under arrest for Public Intoxication.n Theft: July 1, 11:25 a.m.

An officer was dispatched to 2450 Esters Blvd. in refer-ence to a theft of tires and wheels from a semi-tractor. The reporting party said front wheels and tires were stolen from one of Simmons semi tractors between 11 a.m. on June 29 and 11:30 p.m. on June 30 when an employee discovered the wheels and tires were missing. He said he needed to use the tractor for deliveries, so he had the wheels and tires replaced, which disturbed the crime scene. He said the tractor was set on wooden blocks, but he did not know where they were. Simmons wants to prosecute. Estimated cost for new tires is approximately $1,250. Video from a security camera may show footage containing the theft.

“The construction time will de-pend on that contract, because they can build it in phases, or they can build the entire project. If they build in phases, it will take a little longer: five or six years. If they de-cide they want to move ahead, and there will be incentives in the con-tract to hopefully help the contrac-tor to move forward more quickly, that would shorten the length of time it would take to complete the project.

“This is a $3.8 billion project. Added with all of the other proj-ects in this area, it becomes about $15 billion in mobility improve-ments just in the Dallas/Ft. Worth area. That is an incredible amount of work that we are having done on

transportation projects in this area.”Listed as one of the state’s most

congested highways, SH-183 car-ries between 150,000 and 170,000 vehicles per day. During the press conference, Phil Wilson, Execu-tive Director of TxDOT, wryly observed that every seven seconds there is a new Texan who brings with him a vehicle, but no roads.

“The Dallas/Ft. Worth Metro-plex is not only the largest inland population center in the nation, but is the fastest growing mega-region in the country,” Harper Brown said. “If the air control tower at the DFW International Airport is the center of the Metroplex and you ex-tend out a 60 mile radius from that point, the population figures and growth are astounding. In 2000, we had six million people living here. By 2010, we grew 25 percent to seven and a half million people. Be-

By Elaine PaniszczynDALLAS - Three years ago, the

City of Dallas passed an ordinance allowing taxi cabs powered by com-pressed natural gas (CNG) to have priority over gasoline-powered taxi cabs in line for passengers at Dallas Love Field Airport. CNG taxicabs emit fewer air pollutants than oth-er taxicabs. On June 13, the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals issued an opinion which upholds that ordi-nance.

In the lawsuit, gasoline-powered taxis in the Dallas/Fort Worth

area were represented by the Asso-ciation of Taxicab Owners (ATO) which challenged the ordinance on the basis that it was preempted by the federal Clean Air Act.The ATO said the ordinance constituted a backdoor manner of regulating new vehicle emissions.

The Fifth Circuit upheld the City of Dallas ordinance and said that it did not impose emissions controls either directly or through its indirect effects. The court said it did not create a mandatory stan-dard forcing the conversion of taxi

cabs to CNG. Also, judges said taxi cabs had alternative methods avail-able to recover any losses derived from losing a place in line at Love Field.

The ordinance’s language does not require the use of CNG tech-nology but instead provides an in-centive that encourages its use. The only enforcement created by the ordinance is compliance with the head-of-the-line privilege and its related procedures. The ordinance’s effects do not force non-CNG taxi-cabs to convert to CNG technology.

The Dallas Love Field ruling has no impact on taxi service at Dallas Fort Worth international Airport according to David Magaña, Senior Manager of Public Affairs.

“DFW Airport is an active user of CNG powered vehicles, to the point that over 90 percent of all air-port vehicles are CNG powered,” Magaña said. “The airport began converting to CNG vehicles in 2000 as an effort to reduce carbon emissions within its direct control, and DFW has significantly reduced its toxic emissions as a result of the

CNG conversion and other energy related initiatives.

“As a result of that success, DFW several years ago attempted to enact a provision by which CNG pow-ered taxis could have front-of-the-line privileges in order to further pursue the airport’s commitment to cleaner air,” Magaña said. “That ef-fort was challenged and ultimately blocked in a local court.”

DFW Airport did not have any comment on the Love Field case.

fore long, we will be well over eight million people.

“We have got to find ways to mitigate congestion, enhance con-nectivity and increase the safety of our transportation system. All modes need to be better, not just the highways, but transit, com-muter rail and aviation all need to be considered.

“When you limit mobility, you limit job growth, and we can’t afford to do that. We want to continue to grow. We want to continue to have jobs available for our citizens. We want to make sure we remain the most competitive and the best state in the nation in which to work and live. This project truly does improve that way of life.”

Though unseen by the public, the completion of the negotiations for the right of way between TxDOT and area businesses is extremely significant according to Rick Stop-

fer, Chair of the Greater Irving Las Colinas Chamber of Commerce’s Transportation Management As-sociation

“Negotiations have been on again, off again with the busi-nesses,” Stopfer said. “It is good for the businesses that TxDOT has the money, and they can get the land closed. The owners can move on with their businesses, and the state can move on with their right of way. The most important thing that will happen in the next six to eight month is all these issues will be brought to closure.

“Once we see the contract let and people coming in with big pieces of equipment that will be the next exciting thing.”

Last expanded in 1973, the pro-posed SH-183 expansion will in-clude a mixture of public and tolled lanes as well as expanded frontage lanes.

One of the largest warbird collections for sale VIRGINIA BEACH, VA - The owner of a popular warbird museum

in Virginia Beach is selling off his vintage World War I and World War II aircraft and replicas - numbering more than 100 airplanes.

Gerald Yagen, EAA487104/EAA Warbirds of America 15658, owner of the Military Aviation Museum in Pungo, VA, told The Virginian-Pilot that he no longer can afford to keep the collection and, likely, the museum.

“The aircraft cost a million dollars a year to maintain, the collection was more than $40 million to acquire, and the facility was $15 million,” Yagen said. “I simply can’t afford it anymore.”

Yagen also operated four vocational trade schools that are in the process of being sold. As of June 27, two airplanes changed hands, the B-17G Chuckie and Focke Wulf FW-190 A8. They were purchased by Jack Er-ickson of the Tillamook Air Museum, Oregon.

The vast collection also includes a recently restored Canadian-built de Havilland Mosquito, which is the world’s only flying example of the type, and a German Me 262, a reconstructed version of the world’s first opera-tional military jet.

“People are really flocking to him.” He said he thought it is because

of the new Pope’s appeal to the common people.

“He is very touchable,” Bishop Hayes said. “Before speaking, he rode around in his jeep to meet people. He got out and touched and hugged babies and spent time with those who were invalid in wheelchairs. He really has a flair for being the people’s Pope. They say Pope Benedict never got out of his vehicle.”

Bishop Hayes said that in his speech which lasted about 30 min-utes, the Pope talked about how different denominations and differ-ent religions should strive for unity.

“He said we are all under the same God, so we should strive for unity, love, and peace,” Bishop Hayes said. “He drew a lot of ap-plause from the crowd for that kind of message.

“He is a Jesuit priest from Ar-gentina, and he believes in the com-mon people, and I think he is trying

to get the Catholic Church and all those people who are involved to see how much it means to be uni-fied as one,” Bishop Hayes said. “At the end of the day, we’re all human, and I think he’s just trying to get everyone to understand that we’re all in this thing together. I think the people welcomed that kind of speech from him.

“He reaches across all economic lines, ecumenical ties, and reaches across the aisle,” Bishop Hayes said. “There were a couple of other folks

besides me there who were not Catholic. He really reached out to come down and spend time with us.

“When I greeted him, I shared who I was representing and told him I wanted to present him a gift (a crystal paperweight) from the airport,” Bishop Hayes said. “I had a couple of crosses sent from peo-ple from the airport who wanted them to be blessed. So I preceded to hand the crosses to him so he could bless them, but he instead placed the crosses in my hand and put his hand in my hand and gave the blessing of the crosses.

“It was a moving experience,” Bishop Hayes said. “After he did the prayer, I just said, ‘Thank you. I appreciate you and thank God I have the chance to meet you.’ Af-ter I finished speaking to him, one of his aides presented me with the Pontifical Medallion. Actually, the coin is of Pope Benedict. I guess they’re trying to give out the coins they have.”

He said they probably have not had time to make Pope Francis’s medallion.

By Colleen AhernAmid the towering antique

aircraft of Addison’s Cavanaugh Flight Museum, teens gathered to rock out, create graffiti, and cel-ebrate healthy relationships for the Be Project’s Music 4 Change concert on June 28. Featuring lo-cal artists Rhea Raj, Dallas Wayde, Bentley Green and Marcella Frue-han, the concert was organized by Be Project’s student run group, Be More, that organizes events to speak out against bullying and vio-lence in the media.

Teen leader Stephanie Cas-taneda has been involved with the Be Project for three years. She does everything from helping to orga-nize social events to starting con-versations about dating violence in schools. Teens like Stephanie work in unison with counselors who visit schools to advise students on dating violence and bullying.

“One thing we did recently was to go to high schools, and dur-ing the lunch periods we would read statistics about sexual assault,”

Stephanie said. But at Music 4 Change, no one

read aloud statistics. Instead, the fo-cus was on having fun. As 15-year-old rapper Dallas Wayde performed onstage, his partner Rapjure jumped to the floor to get the crowd going. Between acts, kids posed with glow sticks in front of a photo wall and scribbled designs on a collection of graffiti posters. Director of the Be Project, Liz Ferrigno, was pleased by the positive atmosphere of the event.

“We wanted to do something that was for something instead of against. It’s more proactive to have celebrations instead of just rally-ing against something all the time,” Ferrigno said.

If you listened closely enough, though, you could tell that the kids are passionate about ending the cy-cle of bullying and dating violence. Twelve year old performer Bentley Green got involved with Be Project last year after he recorded a song called “No More Pain,” that speaks out against bullying with lyrics like

“keep standing tall keep doing you/ never quit don’t worry bout what bullies do.”

Musicians like Bentley are a rar-ity among pop and hip hop artists, many of whose lyrics contain stories of violence and unhealthy relation-ships. Stephanie Castaneda, who is a member of her high school’s dance team, remarks on how diffi-cult it is to find songs to perform to that have a positive message.

“Even if the lyrics are ‘clean’, they could have a really negative message,” Castaneda explained, mentioning, for example, the popu-lar Eminem song, “Love the Way you Lie.” “I wish music could just be music,” she mused. “Why can’t someone just sing a song about having fun with your friends that’s not about drinking?”

Despite the frequent portrayal of violence and unhealthy relation-ships in the media, leaders of the Be Project don’t preach a message of avoidance. Instead, they try to foster open communication about what kids are listening to. Back-

stage, Bentley and Dallas Wayde chatted with Liz Ferrigno about the lyrics of popular rap songs. They have thought a lot about what the songs mean, which is exactly what Liz wants kids to do.

“Avoiding the music won’t do any good,” Ferrigno said, because teens are aware of the ideas being portrayed. She uses that as a start-ing point for important dialogue about bullying and relationship violence which helps kids learn to be discerning consumers of media. “Just start with a few questions,” she suggested. “What do you think this song is about? What is the attitude

of the people in the song? You can do that with kids of any age who are listening to popular songs on the radio.”

As the event drew to a close, people swayed to the moody songs of 17 year old singer/songwriter, Marcella Freuhan. “Truth is, you were loved, and no matter what, nobody wants you gone,” she sang. The lyrics are from her song, “Truth Is” which tackles bullying and teen suicide. The night’s focus may be on music rather than statistics, but if this is the kind of music getting teens excited, that’s probably a good thing.

a fresh new twist

“It was a great feeling,” Bishop Hayes said. “This Pope reaches out to everybody, and to think that I as a chaplain had a chance to meet him. I’m not Catholic, but I think the fact he took time to meet me speaks volumes of him reaching across the aisles.

“It was a great experience just to be in Rome and to see the archives and ancient ruins of the Coliseum, and to be in that environment was mindboggling. It was a great his-torical moment, not only for myself but for the Airport Chaplaincy.”

Living Right in an Upside

Down Society

At the State Fair they have the Ferris Wheel that turned the riders upside

down several times during the du-ration of the ride. When the ride is

finished we have trouble focusing and getting our balance straight-ened out again. It was hard to determine which way to walk.

This is like the society we live in. Everything has been turned up-side down. It has been turned up-side down moral-

ly, ethically, and physically. Nothing is biblically right side up. It is hard to live right side up in an upside down society. But you can live right side up if you want to.

- Society has no vision of how God looks at the system that we live in.

- Society sees everything totally different than God expects us to look at it.

- Society thinks it is proper to condemn, restrict, and ever elimi-nate a Bible believing and teaching church.

- Society says a child to make their own decision as though they were adults. They can choose what is beneficial to them physically, mor-ally, and emotionally. They can even choose a life style that is completely opposed to the family belief system.

- It is society proper to allow a perpetrator to have freedom to con-tinue doing his/her crimes In most situations it is depriving of personal rights to restrain an individual from doing their own desire regardless if it is infringing on others rights or not.

WILD COVERAGE

1 1World TeamTennis




By Bill JonesThe first time I ever picked up

a tennis racquet was when I was about ten years old. My mother had bought me a Spalding “Pancho Gonzales Signature Model” wooden tennis racquet and signed me up for a summer tennis camp at Lively Park, across the street from Irving High School.

I enjoyed the camp, but tennis wasn’t exactly the sport of choice in our North Irving neighborhood. If you’re the only kid on the block who owns a Spalding “Pancho Gonzales Signature Model” wooden tennis racquet, what good is it anyway? After all, you can only hit a tennis ball up against the side of the house for so long. So, front yard pick up football games it was.

It’s months like this one when I realize Mother knew what she was doing when she signed me up for

that Lively Park tennis camp four decades ago.

There’s a new game in town. It’s called team tennis. There’s a new team in town. It’s called the Texas Wild. And I get to put my Spald-ing “Pancho Gonzales Signature Model” wooden tennis racquet knowledge to the test this month when I’m part of the TXA 21 broad-cast team for live coverage of Mylan World Team Tennis action from the Four Seasons Resort in Las Colinas.

Our first televised match on TXA 21 is at 7:30 next Wednesday night, July 10, which is the Texas Wild’s home opener against the Washington Kastles. The Kastles’ marquee player is 5-time Wimble-don champion Venus Williams, who is making her return to competitive tennis after missing Wimbledon due to an injury.

TXA 21 will also broadcast live

the match against the Sacramento Capitals at 7:30 on Wednesday, July 24. Sacramento has the #1 ranked American on the ATP World Tour in big 6-6 Sam Querrey, who has a powerful serve that has reached 141 miles per hour.

Other home matches for the Texas Wild will feature appear-ances by the best doubles team in the world. The Bryan Brothers (Bob and Mike), winners of 14 Grand Slam men’s doubles titles, will play for our local team when the Wild host the Orange County Breakers on Saturday, July 20.

But the Texas Wild player I’m most looking forward to watching is 19-year old Canadian Eugenie Bouchard, who is one of the up and coming stars on the women’s tour. Bouchard, who won the Junior Wim-bledon singles and doubles titles last year, knocked off 12th seeded

Ana Ivanovic last week, advancing to the 3rd round in her first foray into the main draw at Wimbledon. Martina Navratilova says Bouchard can be a “potential Grand Slam champion” some day.

World Team Tennis should be a great way to spend a summer evening and it’s long overdue for our area. Rising stars like 20-year old Sloane Stephens (Philadelphia Freedoms) and 17-year old Taylor Townsend (Sacramento Capitals), and fan favorites like John McEnroe (New York Sportimes), Andy Rod-dick (Springfield Lasers), and Jim Courier (Texas Wild) are all part of a league that was the brainchild of the great Billie Jean King 39 years ago.

Come to think of it, that was about the same time I picked up my Spalding “Pancho Gonzales Signa-ture Model” wooden tennis racquet for the first time.

TeamTennis Anyone?

World TeamTennis 101Bill Jones

By John PurserBy now, you’ve heard that the

Kansas City Explorers are now the Texas Wild, bringing world-class tennis to North Texas. It’s certainly not the first time that’s happened. In March, the Dallas Tennis Classic (part of the ATP Challenger Tour) was played in Irving for the second year running.

But this, as they say, is not that. Not even close.

Mylan World TeamTennis is anything but just another tourna-ment. It’s an entire season of high-energy, high-speed tennis the likes of which most have never seen. In its inaugural season, the Texas Wild will play fourteen matches in eighteen days, seven of them at the newly expanded arena at the Four Seasons Resort and Club in Las Colinas.

What exactly is TeamTennis? It’s nothing new. In fact, World Team-

Tennis was co-founded by Billie Jean King and Larry King in 1974 on the principle of gender equal-ity. Billie Jean King simply says, “If you have ever seen a Mylan WTT match you have seen my philosophy of life in action – men and women, competing together, on a team and both genders making equal contributions to the result.” To date, it is the only professional sports league in which men and women share equal roles.

Now in its 38th season (there was a short hiatus from 1979-1980), just about every major champion has played World TeamTennis including Pete Sampras, Andy Rod-dick, Kim Clijsters, Stefanie Graf, Bob and Mike Bryan, Andre Agassi, Venus and Serena Williams, Martina Hingis, Maria Sharapova, Lindsay Davenport, John McEnroe, Jimmy Connors, Martina Navratilova and Chris Evert.

The Texas Wild boasts Bob and Mike Bryan, currently the No. 1 men’s duo in the world. With a win at Wimbledon, they will become the second team in history to win the calendar Grand Slam and the only team to hold all four Grand Slam championships and the Olympic Gold Medal.

But what is it?Since the phrase “Game scor-

ing is 1 to 4; No-ad; Scoring is cumu-lative,” is Greek to most, here are the basics of Mylan World TeamTennis:

TEAM – Each co-ed team consists of 2 men, 2 women and 1 coach (plus a marquee player[s], if available)

MATCH – Each match consists of five events, one each of the follow-ing: men’s & women’s singles, men’s & women’s doubles and mixed doubles. The order in which these events are played is determined by the home team’s coach.

EVENTS – To keep things simple, events are sets played to five games. If an event reaches 4-4 then a best of 9 tiebreaker (first to 5 points) counts as the fifth game.

GAMES – Games are scored no-ad (Advantage McEnroe should echo from childhood memories) meaning the first to 4 points wins. At deuce (3-3), the receiver deter-mines which side he/she will play the point ,and in doubles the serve is always gender to gender.

SCORING – Each game counts towards the team’s cumulative match score, which determines the outcome of the match.

WINNING – If the team ahead in the cumulative match score wins the last event, then that team is de-clared the winner of the match. If the trailing team wins the final event, the match goes into Overtime.

OVERTIME – Overtime is played by the participants in the

fifth event and continues until (a) the leading team wins one game, or (b) the trailing team ties the cumulative match score. If the score becomes tied, the match is decided by a Su-pertiebreaker.

SUPERTIEBREAKER – If the cumulative match score is tied at the end of the five events or if the trailing team ties the cumulative match score in Overtime, a 13-point Supertiebreaker is played by the participants in the fifth event. The first team to win seven points is awarded a single game and is de-clared the winner of the match.

Simple, right?Lets are in play. On-court

coaching, timeouts, substitutions – it’s definitely not the hushed environment of Wimbledon or the US Open. Mylan World TeamTen-nis is all about the fan experience. In truth, you just have to see it for yourself to believe it.
