Local politicians converged Thursday night in McConnell Hall for an off beat, infor-mative debate on national issues.

The event, titled “Politicked,” was put on by t he Texas Academy of Math and Science and featured members of the Denton County Democratic and Republican parties, as well as representatives from UNT student organizations.

The event was moderated by Denton city councilman and TAMS administrator Kevin

Roden, the only non-incum-bent elected in the May elec-tion. Roden’s questions elic-ited informative, rather than confrontational, responses from both parties.

“We just want more people to come, to get more people in,” said McConnell Hall resi-dent assistant Evan Rodriguez, one of six TAMS organizers.

Rodriguez said the event was designed to inform students on some of the topics that are going to be important in next year’s presidential election.

In an effort to freshen up the city’s waterways, Denton will host its annual volun-teer Stream Clean event to clean 11 sites, including Lake Lewisville.

Denton Water Uti l it ies partnered with Keep Denton Beautiful to host the event this Saturday.

“We’d like the entire city to come out, a l l 100,000 people,” said David Hunter, m a n a ger of w ater she d

protection and industrial pre-treatment for the city of Denton. “The idea is to make the public aware of the trash in the creeks. A lot of people don’t know the cumulative effect this can have in our water.”

More than 700 people registered to part icipate in the event last year, and Hunter said he is hoping for an even bigger turnout this year.

A sample of mosquitoes from North Lakes Park tested posi-tive for West Nile virus Tuesday, leading the city of Denton to issue a Risk Level 3 mosquito alert for residents.

“In this area, West Nile virus usually appears in July to early August,” said Kenneth

Banks, director of environ-mental services for the city of Denton. “This result is unusual because it is the latest in the year that we have collected a mosquito sample that tested positive for the virus.”

Risk Level 3 under the Mosquito Surveillance and Response Plan indicates that the probability of a human

outbreak is low to moderate. As temperatures gradu-

ally become cooler, mosquito season normally comes to an end.

The prolonged number of triple-degree heat days coupled with the lack of rainfall has had a negative effect on mosquito densities, Banks said.

The recommended response

under this risk level includes surveillance, an increase in public education and control measures.

The city of Denton will conduct routine surveys of adult mosquitoes and increase the amount of biological agents applied to kill mosquito larva.

Rachel Head, a history senior,

said she is used to being bitten by mosquitoes but has noticed fewer of them this season.

“I haven’t been getting bitten as much as I normally do,” Head said.

Head said the raise in mosquito risk level does not worry her.

Six games have passed; six games remain. The UNT football team is ready to start the race to the finish of the season – and it all starts this weekend.

The Mean Green (2-4) will square off against the Louisiana-Lafayette Ragin’ Cajuns (5-1) – t he top-ranked team in the Sun Belt Conference – at 4 p.m. Saturday in Lafayette, La. ULL is the first opponent of several that will make or break UNT’s hopes for Sun Belt glory.

“We have six games to go, and seven of the nine teams

in our league either have no losses or one loss,” head coach Dan McCarney said. “To say it is not wide open in the weeks ahead, you’re crazy. There’s a lot of foot-ball to be played and lots of opportunities for teams in this league.”

The Mean Green defense will be tested by the Ragin’ Cajuns – ULL leads the Sun Belt in scoring offense, aver-aging 33 points a game.

The secondary will have its hands full with ULL’s r e c ei v i n g c or p, w h ic h includes acclaimed senior tight end Ladarius Green.

Protesters organized in downtown Dallas Thursday night to speak their minds at the John F. Kennedy Memorial Plaza. Protesters came out to show their frus-trations with what they say is out-of-control greed on Wall Street. Some individuals have remained at a swath of land called Pioneer Park since Thursday, but the city of Dallas is threatening to move them.

ISAAC WRIGHTAssigning Editor

Legal counsel representing the Occupy Dallas movement and the city of Dallas will present arguments today to determine if the city can enforce ordinances leading to the removal of the protesters.

There are currently 25 tents and more than 100 people living in Pioneer Plaza as part of the protests. The protesters are vying to remain in the plaza indefinitely in the North Texas Federal Court after the city of Dallas revoked the group’s permit to protest. Glynn Wilcox, a member of Occupy Dallas, said the permit was revoked because the protesters were unable to

pay the city $1 million by 5 p.m. today for an insurance policy required under the terms of their permit.

“We hold that those ordi-nances are restricting our First Amendment rights,” Wilcox said.

If the group’s injunction fails, Dallas Police would enforce city ordinances, including curfews and laws prohibiting sleeping in public, he said.

Occupy Dallas is currently in discussions with the city to try to find some middle ground, Wilcox said. However, no agreements have been reached at this time.

City of Dallas spokesman Frank Librio, sent out an email explaining the terms of the

agreement the city made with protesters.

“The City had an agree-ment with Occupy Dallas to remain on the public property provided standard insurance coverage was obtained. The group did not meet the insur-ance requirements per the agree-ment. Therefore, the agreement is no longer applicable. The City will begin enforcing local laws (for example: park curfews and sleeping in public),” Librio wrote.

If the court rules in favor of the city, Wilcox said the group will comply with city ordinances, but people will make their own deci-sions about how to proceed.

One option the city put on the

table is moving the protesters to a different location near City Hall.

“In the end, the time and place are known,” Wilcox said. “Everybody has the opportunity to proceed how they want. The city also has the same opportu-nity. We hope we can come to a resolution that ensures access to First Amendment protection.”

Wilcox said the protesters have developed a good rela-tionship with the Dallas Police Department and expect officers to inform them before any action is taken to remove them.

Wilcox said he doubts substan-tial force will be used because of the peaceful nature of the protest.

“From what I know of the disease (West Nile Virus), it really isn’t that big of a threat unless you are elderly or otherwise sick or something, and I am fairly healthy and young,” she said.

Banks said the hot, dry weather makes it difficult for adult mosquitoes to survive and has contributed to less standing water, which is larval habitat.

The city of Denton offers tips on its website on how to avoid contracting the West Nile virus. Residents are encouraged to elim-inate standing water on t heir proper t y, cha nge water in birdbaths once a week and wear long-sleeved shirts and long pants when outdoors.

Denton residents can also pick up BTI briquettes – f loating rings that kill mosquito larvae – from the utilities service center.

“I f you go i nto L a ke Lewisville, you will see every-thing from small trash to refrig-erators to motorcycles,” Hunter said. “The only way that stuff gets in there is when people allow it to get in. It’s created by us and it’s up to us to get it out.”

Those who wish to volun-teer can register the day of the event at 8 a.m. at the Civic Center Pavilion. Cleanup activ-ities are set to take place from 9-11 a.m.

“We don’t stay out there very long,” Hunter said. “Typically we’re done in an hour and a half or less, but a lot of trash can be picked up in a very short amount of time.”

Volunteers will receive a free lunch after the event at about 11:30 a.m. at the Civic Center Pavilion and a free T-shirt.

“A lot of people dump things like car tires and batteries because they are hard to dispose of, but they may not know the ill effects of littering and dumping and what it can do to the wildlife,” said Mendie Schmidt, assistant director for the Office of Sustainability. “It’s an opportunity to help the community, but it’s a lot of fun too. You never know what you’re going to find.”

The same group of volun-

teers will label storm drains to warn community members not to litter in them. The group hopes to label every storm drain “from Fry Street to City Hall.”

“A few years back we actu-ally got together with UNT, and if you go around they have markers on all of their storm drains,” Hunter said. “The long-term goal is to not just have them at UNT but the entire city.”

“It’s an information session, essentially,” said Jeffery Lynch, who represented the Denton County Democratic Party at the event. “While it’s billed as a debate, it gives [students] an opportunity to see both sides present their views in a less rancorous way because we’re not running for office. We’re not trying to get your vote. But, these kids are going to be voting soon – in this next elec-tion or the one after.”

U N T a l u m n a S h e r r y

Shipman, who represented the Denton County Republican Party, emphasized the impor-tance of student involve-ment in the political process, regardless of ideology.

“I think that any time young people get engaged, whether they do it in a way that I think they ought to or not, I think the fact that they’re interested means that they’re learning and I think that’s what they should be doing,” Shipman said.

The debate, which lasted about an hour and a half, included discussion about the parties’ platforms, the envi-

ronment, the Bush adminis-tration, Michelle Bachmann, green energy and the strug-gling economy.

Members of both parties gave the audience nonpar-tisan advice regarding poli-tics.

Lynch stressed the value of representative democracy, while Shipman urged the importance of exposure to political activity and immer-sion in the political process.

“I look at an audience like this and I feel very encouraged that there are a lot of people really seeking to know,” she said.

UNT’s chapter of Invisible Children is one of 1,682 chap-ters seeking to raise local aware-ness about what it describes as the longest-running conflict on the African continent.

UNT students will come together with local musicians, including Joseph So Mo and the UNT Glee Club, for the organizations’ art auction and music event on Nov. 3 at Art Six Coffee House to raise money to donate to the Invisible Children nonprofit organiza-tion.

“In the past, we donated all of the money we raised to the school,” said Vincent Varela, president of the organization and a journalism junior. “This

year, we’re a part of the Frontline Campaign.”

Donations collected during the event will primarily go toward building radio towers in desolate villages in Uganda, Democratic Republic of Congo and Sudan, Varela said.

“People will be able to commu-nicate among villages as a police system,” he said. “They’ll be able to warn other villages if the [Lord’s Resistance Army] is coming. So many attacks happen and no one would know for a month.”

Since 1987, Joseph Kony has headed the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda, abducting chil-dren to fight in a rebellion against the Ugandan government. There have been 1,791 recorded abduc-tions and 953 civilian deaths

caused by the LRA, according to LRAcrisistracker.com.

“In the beginning the rebellion wasn’t violent,” said Aubri Elliott, an Invisible Children member and public relations freshman. “Kony has a large following and major influence. He goes into villages and takes children. He chose children because they’re still moldable and don’t know any better.”

The group hopes to raise at least $20,000 to go toward the radio tower project, as well as the Schools for Schools project and construction of rehabilita-tion facilities.

Universities and high schools across the country partner with Ugandan schools in the Schools for Schools project to donate money for improvements and

construction. UNT’s partner school is Pabbo Secondary School.

The Invisible Children Club at UNT has more than 50 members, who put on a number of events each year to raise money for the national organization. Meetings take place at 7:30 p.m. Wednesdays in Wooten Hall 321.

“We want people to come so they can learn what’s going on within the organization and about what’s going on in Africa,” said Kelsey Hughen, fundraising chair and hospitality manage-ment junior. “We want to help stop this war that has been going on for 25 years in a peaceful manner. If you have a passion for this, we encourage you to roll with it and get involved.”

“It’s an opportunity to help the community, but it’s a lot of fun, too. You never know what you’re going to find.”

confidence they’re playing with,” McCarney said. “They have the pieces in place and their skill guys are quality players. They lead the confer-ence in scoring; they’re doing a heck of a job.”

McCarney said the Mean Green offensive line has been one of the key positions during the first half of the season.

The line has allowed only seven sacks in six games, the third fewest in the Sun Belt. However, the Ragin’ Cajuns have the top pass rush in the conference, tallying 19 sacks in six games.

Senior running back Lance Dunbar will be relied upon

once aga in to cont r ibute heavily on offense. The senior has tallied three consecutive 100-yard rushing games.

ULL has the fourth-best rushing defense in the Sun Belt, but Dunbar said he’s confident UNT can success-fully run the ball against the Ragin’ Cajuns.

“From what I’ve seen, I think we can run the ball on them,” Dunbar said. “We have to take the positives from last week and keep on getting better.”

The game will be aired on ESPN Gameplan and ESPN3.com and can be heard on KNTU-FM, 88.1.

Riding a five game winning streak, the Mean Green soccer team will travel to the Sunshine State this weekend for its last two game road trip of the season.

Both Denver and UNT, ranked first and second in the Sun Belt Conference, respectively, will face Florida International and Florida Atlantic this weekend with just five games remaining for each team.

Adding separationUNT (10-3-1, 5-0-0) will start

the weekend against FIU (7-6-1, 4-1-1), which sits one spot behind the Mean Green in the conference standings.

The Mean Green owns a nine-game undefeated streak against FIU, winning eight of the last nine

games against the Panthers, but settling for a 2-2 tie the last time the teams faced at FIU in 2009.

“They probably look at that more than we do. It’s probably incentive to say, ‘Let’s beat North Texas. We have them on our home field,’” UNT head coach John Hedlund said. “But they’re very, very good at home. They get the crowd behind them. They’ve got probably just as much speed as we do.”

FIU’s home crowd may be a little louder this time around, as the Panthers welcome family to the field for Parents’ Weekend.

“I know in the past it’s always been a good weekend for us, and the girls have responded with a little extra energy on the field,” FIU head coach Thomas Chestnutt said. “We’re hoping for the same this weekend.”

The game will kick off at 6 p.m. Friday from the FIU Soccer Stadium in Miami, Fla.

Remaining dominantAfter a day off, UNT will finish

the weekend at noon Sunday in Boca Raton, Fla., against FAU (5-7-1, 1-4-1), which ranks 10th in the conference. After playing a team higher up in the stand-ings, UNT can’t let its guard down against the Owls, Hedlund said.

“I think any road game is a trap game, to be honest with you, because this is a tough confer-ence,” he said. “The thing is, you have to be the aggressor, you have to have sound defense, and when you have those opportunities, you have to put them in the net.”

UNT’s aggressiveness has led FAU head coach Brian Dooley to take a different approach to the

game, as FAU has never beaten UNT.

“They’ve always been a team that’s physically dominated us,” Dooley said. “I think for us to be successful, the first thing for us is to be able to match the physical nature of the team.”

Calm before the storm:FIU doesn’t do anything

particularly great, but it does a lot of things well. The Panthers will be UNT’s toughest game since the first weekend of confer-ence play three weeks ago, but the Mean Green will pull out a one-goal victory in a back-and-forth game to put a little more distance between the teams in the conference standings. As for FAU, Hedlund won’t let the team have a letdown, so a weekend sweep should be in order.

Though their campuses are separated by about a mile, games between the UNT a nd T W U sof tba l l teams don’t happen often because the Mean Green competes in Division I while the Pioneers play Division II.

In Fr iday’s preseason matchup, fans will see a rare Denton rivalry continue at Pioneer Field.

“It’s always a rivalry with TWU; it’s always a tough game,” senior outf ielder Megan Rupp said. “Always a close game and always back and forth, so it’ll be a good game.”

Senior pitcher Ashley Kirk said contests against TWU don’t ever have the feel of playing on the road.

“It def initely feels l ike a home game,” Kirk said. “Our parents are able to be here and the f ive-minute drive helps.”

UN T head coach T.J. Hubbard said in preseason games, players are often rotated, pitchers don’t play extensively and newcomers get a chance to show their ta lents. The tea m t hree incoming freshman t his season.

“We’ll do as much as we can to get our kids some playing t ime where they need it,” Hubbard said. “I think for this season, at least in the situation this year, our goal is not to get anybody hurt.”

In her f irst preseason,

freshman Danielle Hoff has gained the attention of the Mean Green coaching staff. At Garland High, Hoff was all-district in 2009 and 2010. In 2010, she hit .488 with 30 RBIs and was named the district’s defensive MVP.

“Still probably a little too early to tell, but Hoff, one of our freshmen, is going to be a good one to watch out for,” Hubbard said. “She had a great weekend in College Station.”

Either sophomore Lauren Poole or junior Brittany Simmons will start for the Mea n Green. Si m mon s started in last year’s regular season opener and appeared in a team-high 38 appear-ances, 28 as the starter. Poole made eight appear-ances last season, a l l in relief.

Play begins at 5 p.m.

“Still probably a little too early

to tell, but Hoff, one of

our freshmen, is going to be a good one to watch out for.”

Sudoku requires no calculation or arithmetic skills. It is essentially a game of placing numbers in squares, using very simple rules of logic and deduction.

The objective of the game is to fill all the blank squares in a game with the correct numbers. There are three very simple constraints to follow. In a 9 by 9 square Sudoku game: • Every row of 9 numbers must in-clude all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every column of 9 numbers must include all digits 1 through 9 in any order • Every 3 by 3 subsection of the 9 by 9 square must include all digits 1 through 9

CORRISA JACKSONStaff Writer

Push ups. Sit ups. Box Jumps. Air squats. Repeat.

One of the group exercise classes taught at the Pohl Recreation Center is the Power Hour Boot Camp, for which students wake up early, deter-mined to improve their fitness.

The group is currently in the second session, which will run until Nov. 4.

Twice a week for four weeks, from 6:45-7:45 a.m., the students meet up for the intense interval workouts – a style called Crossfit.

“The key is to be fit with what you’ve got,” said Alexis Barnett, a cello performance senior.

Instructor Mark Linsky became interested in the Crossfit workout after an injury kept him from playing hockey.

While doing the program, he noticed an increase in his fitness level in a short amount of time, he said.

Linsky, a communications junior, said he took a certification course to learn how to teach others about the program.

Knowing he’s helping people to reach their fitness goals motivates Linsky to continue training others, he said.

What is CrossfitThe Crossfit program consists of

longer periods of intense exertion and shorter periods of rest.

The workout used in the morning Boot Camp sessions is a combina-tion of metabolic conditioning and improving core strength.

One morning, the students meet at the indoor basketball courts, running through five workout stations. Another morning, they’re in an exercise room on the second floor of the Rec Center, cycling, doing pushups and lifting kettle-bells.

Braxton Parker, a trainer at L.A.

Fitness, said workouts that require use of the entire body, such as the Crossfit program, are good.

ImpactParker said exercising with a

group often encourages people to push themselves more than normal because they want to stand out among their peers.

Andrew Mitzel, a math senior, said it was his first time trying out the program.

He also heard about it from a

friend and, after losing 80 pounds in two years by altering his diet, he wanted to find an intense workout routine, he said.

“I think here I’ll get a little more uncomfortable,” he said.

Barnett said this was her second time participating in the group exercise.

“The first time almost killed me, but it was great,” she said.

Barnett said she lost 15 pounds during the four-week session.

Knowing that she paid $45 to join and having her friends hold her accountable kept her going to the 6:45 a.m. workouts, she said.

Barnett said she joined the class again at the encouragement of her friends and likes the challenge she faces every time she starts the workout.

“You want to exceed your expec-tations,” she said.

“Eureka!” That’s the word that came to me when I was sitting in a local Firestone last Saturday. Every car needs tires, and mine is no different. As I nursed a compli-mentary coffee, I sat and watched people drop off keys, make demands and exchange money. The eureka moment that flooded my brain was one I’ll never forget – cars define us. Who we are, what we want to project to the world, and even our worth as individuals, can closely be tied to our gas (or electric) powered buggies.

I’ll be bringing you rumors from the automotive underworld, answering your car questions and penning my unabashed opinion on vehicles from around the globe. Maybe you don’t have a car – I’ve got you covered, from money-saving tips to warning flags for buyers.

While our typical focus will be on the college consumer, in honor of the first installment, I wanted to give us all something to look forward to. Come with me, if you will, on a journey to the not-so-distant future. After doubling your college tuition in parking tickets, you now find yourself sitting in the UNT Coliseum. Dressed head-to-toe in black regalia, you look up in search of your friends and family but keep getting blindsided by the tassel that’s slapping you in the face ... that’s right – it’s graduation day. You’ve got a degree in hand, ready to take on the world.

After all that hard work, it’s high time to reward yourself, and we’ve got just the cure for those post-grad-uate blues. Feast your eyes on the 2011 Land Rover Range Rover HSE. Upon first glance, even the most amateur enthusiast can tell this is no ordinary SUV. Curb appeal and technology drip from every glorious angle. If “Charlie’s Angels” and “007” had a baby, it would look something

like this – unapologetically sassy.As a self-proclaimed automotive

aficionado, I could bore you with stats about this vehicle’s impres-sive high-output V8 (and optional supercharger) or perhaps the newly improved and intuitive hill descent control with gradient release system, but we both know that’s not what you really came here for.

Let’s be honest. If you’re rolling around in this $80,000 ozone killer, there are several stereotypes about you that you probably know exist and to some extent enjoy. That said, driving this car around campus can only mean one thing – you didn’t pay for it. Don’t get me wrong; I am not against parents bestowing generous gifts on their ill-deserving children.

However, buyers bewa re : Purchasing one of these on your own after graduation can be compli-cated. When looking at your personal budget, a good rule of thumb is to allocate, at most, 20 percent of your income toward vehicle expenses; sorry, leisure studies majors.

For the future housewives: This car’s booty is big enough to shove

The 2011 Land Rover Range Rover HSE is an $80,000 SUV with the technology and power to back the price tag, but such a dream wagon will be out of reach for most students until years after graduation.

This atmosphere and style of pizza may be right up our alley, but the prices – along with a few careless preparation errors – left us thinking that the Mellow Mush room m ig ht be better reserved for special occasions – after the kitchen kinks are worked out, of course.

Austin-based Mellow Mushroom made its Denton debut last weekend, and while the pizza is made fresh-to-order, it’s not worth

a 40-minute wait or the outra-geous prices.

Industrial Street’s newest busi-ness opened Monday – a fact made apparent by the abundance of eager staf f standing around waiting for something to do.

The décor made us wonder if the designer of Mellow Mushroom had eaten psychedelic mushrooms before adorning the restaurant in shades of brown, orange and purple. A moderately spacious bar sat to the right of the entrance and the walls along the dining area were lined with intimate booths.

The four-page menu had many items to choose from. There were salads, hoagies, calzones, more than 50 beers and, of course, pizza. The pizza took up an entire page with off-the-wall creations such as the red skin potato pie. It included red potato, applewood

bacon, onions, chives, sour cream and spicy ranch.

The steep prices ranged from $7.95 for a small, 10-inch cheese pizza to almost $27.95 for a large 16-inch specialty pizza. Additional toppings run between $1.25 and $5 for premium toppings, such as avocado and jerk chicken.

Because of the off-putting prices and our small budgets, we decided to order a small specialty pizza for about $13 and split the cost.

The pizza we ordered was a half “Mighty Meaty” with pepperoni, sausage, ground beef, ham and applewood smoked bacon and half “The Caesar!” with pesto chicken, provolone, mozzarella, feta, a Caesar salad and roma tomatoes.

Forty minutes later, we got our pie.

In the meantime, there were a few TVs throughout the restaurant, but none were comfortably in view from our table. There was music playing, but the buzz of servers and guests drowned out most of it. We did notice a few employees

A day in the life....of the Talons cannon crew[ ]

Talons is an organization that � res the Boomer to signal UNT touchdowns, kicko� s, halftime and the end of home football games, as well as special occasions such as University Day.


PABLO ARAUZStaff Writer

The loud, explosive bang heard from Apogee Stadium on game nights is the sound the cannon, dubbed “Boomer,” makes when the Mean Green scores a touch-down.

Boomer is shot by UNT Talons, a group that has been on campus since 1926 for the sole purpose of keeping the Mean Green spirit a l ive. The g roup’s members volunteer to maintain the cannon that they roll out for every home game.

“I don’t know if you’ve ever fired a cannon, but it’s the most amazing feeling,” said Danielle Trego, a psychology senior and president of Talons.

Boomer, a replica of a Civil War muzzleloader cannon, has been used at UNT since 1970. It started out as a project by Talons to boost school spirit and to let people know when the Mean Green has scored a touchdown, Trego said. It was paid for by donations of various student organizations.

Gloria Paleo, a criminal justice senior and treasurer of Talons, leads the f ive-person crew at each home game. The group takes turns maintaining the cannon.

“All members of cannon crew get to fire it because it’s a process that takes four members and we all have our own part to play of getting it ready to fire, so I make

it a point to make sure everybody gets to do it because it catches everyone’s eye,” Paleo said.

The crew arrives at Apogee Stadium at about noon to prepare for a 6 p.m. kickoff, first making sure the cannon is clean and in work ing order. Then, t he group members make enough blank charges for the game. The charges are made of foil and black powder, Trego said.

W hile each member of the group puts in a volunteer effort, Paleo said keeping the school spirit a live is what motivates her.

“I feel like whenever people are involved with school spirit, it just gets them a little bit more moti-vated to get up in the morning,” she said.

When the cannon is fired after each touchdown, a shot is heard for miles around the stadium.

“It’s scared me before. I mean, I’ve jumped a few times because of it, but I think it’s awesome that they’re dedicated to what they’re doing. It’s good for UNT to keep that school spirit,” said Jenee’ Hucks, a kinesiology junior.

However, Talons makes sure to keep ever yone nea r t he cannon safe. Each member has to go through training to ensure everyone is safe at the game.

“I’m really sorr y to anyone we’ve scared during the games,” Trego said.

Brittni Barnett Senior Staff Writer

On a rainy Thursday afternoon at Storage Solutions of Corinth, about 50 people gather before auctioneer Jackie P. Sutton.

Sutton is standing before a 10-by-30-foot storage unit, the onlookers – armed with flashlights, belt loops full of padlocks and 3-inch-thick rolls of cash – push in closer for one final peak inside the unit. From wall to wall, the room is packed with odds and ends: a pile of stuffed black garbage bags, a stack of boxes, a lamp, two mattresses, a collection of flannel jackets, a few car tires, a toolbox and a stack of coolers. It may be junk to the untrained eye, but it’s a gold mine to the buyers.

“Alright, who needs it,” Sutton calls. “How much?” and with that, the bidding begins.

The bids start out in the low hundreds and quickly climb over a thousand dollars, but start to slow down, eventually coming to a halt just under two grand.

Sutton closes the bidding, “Sold,” and collects $1,950 in cash from the winning bidder, who hopes that under a garbage bag, inside a box or behind the stacked mattresses, some-thing valuable is tucked away.

Storage auctions, made popular by shows such as “Storage Wars” on A&E and “Auction Hunters” on SPIKE,

have become a popular past time and hobby for some people. For others, they’ve always been a way of life.

Brian Deily, a Dallas resident, has attended storage auctions off and on for the past 10 years.

“It’s like a treasure hunt every day,” Deily said. “It’s a modern day version of gold mining.”

Deily usually sells his finds on Craigslist and eBay. Some of his finds include gold and silver chains, coin collections, parachutes, scuba gear and his favorite find to date: two Texas Tech Championship Bowl rings.

Jackie P. Sutton is the sole propri-etor of All American Auctioneers and has been featured on television as an auctioneer. For more than 15 years he has been traveling around the Dallas-Fort Worth area and serving as the auctioneer for estate sales,

liquidations, charity auctions and, of course, storage auctions.

Sutton gets a commission from each of the units sold – a fee he wouldn’t disclose – that he nego-tiates before the auctions, and he relishes success stories.

“I had a guy come up to me one time and ask me if I remember selling him a unit six years ago,” Sutton said. “He said he made about $20,000 off that unit I sold him.”

Richard Smith, a resident of Frisco, has attended storage auctions in both Texas and California.

“You go to any of the other auction-eers out there and Jackie is the most fun,” he said.

While there’s a skill to purchasing storage units, it’s a gamble for buyers,

which is a risk summed up by regu-lars, who often say, “You’re buying what you don’t see, not what you actually see.”

In order to put a storage unit up for public auction, storage unit compa-nies must follow a set of guidelines laid out in the Texas Self Storage Association’s “Goldbook.”

According to the “Goldbook,” storage unit companies must send a notification of the tenant’s failure to pay to his or her last known address. If the tenant fails to pay up within 15 days of the notice, the company will post a notice to advertise the auction to the public.

Wayne Ray, owner of Frame Street Self Storage in Denton as well as other facilities in the region, is a member

of the TSSA. “We have to do certain things in

a certain order,” Ray said. “We use [TSSA’s] lease procedures because they are time-tested and approved by the Legislature.”

Ray, who estimates he’s been to around 200 storage auctions since 1992, said he has seen a change in the business since the television shows began airing.

“You have a lot of people who come to see what it’s like,” he said. “The new TV shows piqued people’s interest. Before the shows, you saw around 10 or so people at the auctions; now you see as many as 70.”

Not everyone in the community praises the increased popularity. The added attention has been good for auctioneers and storage owners such as Ray, but buyers complain of units that once averaged $100 and now sell for $400.

“Things have been different since the television shows,” Deily said. “There are more people and prices have been higher.”

Lisa Mayfield, a resident of Garland, recently attended her first storage auction with her two sons and their two friends.

“My sons had seen the show and wanted to check it out,” Mayfield

said. “It looked interesting, but we’re not big spenders. We just like watching.”

People wanting to participate can find auctions in the Dallas-Fort Worth area listed on websites such as auctionzip.com.

Once at the auction, bidders sign up and are led to each of the units.

They use flashlights to see into the dark units and carry padlocks to re-lock the unit after purchase. While buyers can peer inside the units, it is against the rules to actu-ally go inside.

Auctioneers, like Sutton, then begin the auction by asking for an initial bid from a potential buyer, and the auction ends when no one chooses to raise a previous bid. The winning bidder pulls out a stack of folded bills and pays cash for the unit

on the spot.In an attempt to show the Texas

side of storage auctions, A&E ordered eight episodes of the spinoff series “Storage Wars: Dallas,” which will air this fall.

Jennifer Buzzaird is one of the managers of Storage Solutions in Corinth. She and her husband Buzz recently took over the facility after moving back to Texas from California, where she frequently interacted with some of the featured characters on the show “Storage Wars.”

“The guys on the shows aren’t as bad as they might seem,” she said, referring to the squabbles between characters. “Dave and Barry really do like each other, but Texas is a friend-lier environment.”

Some of the success stories in the storage-auction world read like fish

Storage auctions yield varied treasure

tales: Beanie Babies bought for $200 and sold for three times that amount, or a Harley-Davidson motorcycle hidden away in a unit’s dark corner. These types of stories, the excitement of the bid and hunt for treasure keep

the buyers coming back. “In one of my units I came across

some equipment used by the Texas Rangers,” Smith said. “But as far as my most interesting find, I’m still waiting. I’m still searching.”

“Before the TV shows, you saw around 10 or so people

at the auctions; now you see as many as 70.”
