HANCOCKjStaffPhotographcr The Cottonbelt Trail, which starts in Grapevine, ends now near Colleyville city limits. Colleyville and North Richland Hills are expected to begin work on their portions in early May, and they hope to complete them within a year. Cottonbelt Trail has miles to go By KATHY A. GOOISBY ~taffWriter For four years, it's been a dead end. There at Pool Road,just short ofthe Colleyville city limits, is the end of the 2.7-mile Cottonbelt Trail, which has meandered since 1999 from downtown Grapevine southwest toward Colleyville along State Highway 26. Now officials in Colleyville, Hurst and North Richland Hills plan tu start work on their por- tions of the trail. It follows the old Cottonbelt railroad, which is owned by Dallas Area Rapid Transit. When completed, the Il- mile trail will provide an off-road route from downtown Grapevine to Interstate 820 in North Rich- land Hills. 'The trail is being built in phases as communities have the funds to complete it," said Mario Can izares, assistant director of community services in Hurst. "Grapevine has cotnpleted theirs, Colleyville and North Richland Hills are working together to ~"~_1....,, .1-.,,;_ _...n.:.._ __..J _ ' doing another section." The Colleyville section will be done in three phases, said Moni- ca Sue Walsh, the city's parks and recreation manager. Construction on the 2.3-mile section from John McCain Road to Bettinger Road is expected to begin in early May. Simulta- neollsly, North Richland Hills will begin a 4.1-mile section from Precinct Line Road to Browning Drive. Officials hope to complete those sections within a year. The second phase, a joint effort be- tween Colleyville and Hurst, will fill the gap between Bettinger and Precinct Line. "My goal is to begin pouring concrete on the second phase as soon as we finish Phase I," Ms. Walsh said. The first two phases conceiv- ably could be finished within two years, but there still will be an approximately half-mile gap from John McCain Road to where the sidewalk ends in Grapevine.

STAR-TELEGRAM/TIM BEDISON RECREATION ~ A 2.3-mile section ~ of the Cotton belt Trail in Colleyville will eventually , link the city to paths in Grapevine, Hurst and North Richland Hills. By EllEN SCHROEDER STAR-TELEGRAM STAfF WRITER + COLLEYVILLE - The construc- tion of the fIrst phase of the city's sec- tion of the Cottonbelt Trail will begin this month, creating a path for hikers, bikers and in-line skaters. The 10-foot-wide concrete trail will run along the north side of the Cotton Belt rail line from Bettinger Drive to John McCain Road. The 2.3-mile trail is part of the Cottonbelt trail system, which will eventually connect to Grapevine, Hurst, North Richland Hills and other communities in the region. Mayor Donna Arp said Colleyville has been trying to start work on the trail since she took office six years ago. But the yearlong project was delayed as the city waited for funding and worked out problems with a pipeline. ''I'm pleased after all these years that we are fmally getting the Cotton- belt started," Arp said. "Even though it's been slow, it will be a beautiful More on RECREATION on I5B Continued from lB amenity, and something that will be used often by our resi- dents." Federal and state grants will pay for 80 percent of the $1.06 million cost of the fIrst phase. The city will cover the rest through parkland dedication fees, which are mostly paid by developers. Trails have been one of the top requests of Colleyville resi- dents in community surveys, said Jim Messina, chairman of + the city's Parks and Recreation Advisory Board. "There are a fair munber of pathways within neighbor- hoods today within Colleyville, but it's going to be great to get people out of the neighbor- hoods and on these paths that will eventually link to Hurst and Grapevine," he said. The second phase of Co 1- leyville's trail project- will run from Bettinger Drive to Hurst, and the third phase will stretch from John McCain Road to Grapevine. Grapevine has built much of its section of the Cottonbelt Trail but plans to install a miss- ing link from Pool Road to Col- leyville. North Richland Hills expects to begin construction on the ftrst phase of its trail in late May along the south side of the railway from Browning Drive to Precinct Line Road. The 4.l-mile trail will cost $2.54 million, and North Richland Hills will pay 20 percent of that from a half-cent sales tax dedi- cated to parks. "The main beneftt is some- one can get anywhere in North Richland Hills on that trail - bike, walk, rollerblade - all the way to Grapevine," said Bill Thornton, assistant director of parks and recreation in North Richland Hills. "The plans are ultimately to carry that trail system eastward past Coppell to Piano and Wylie."

By EllEN SCHROEDER STAR-TELEGRAM STAFF WRITER Colleyville officials will ask , voters to renew the city's half- cent crime-control tax to help r~pay debt from the new $7.7 million Justice Center, which opened this month. The city plans to have an election Sept. 13 to ask voters to extend the tax. The City Council is expected to set the date at a meeting in August. , The tax would help pay for more police officers and would better equip the Police Department with vehicles and computers,. city officials said. But the largest portion is dedi- cated to paying for the Justice Center. . "There's still another 17 years of debt for the building," . C'ity Manager Bill Lindley said. "It allowed us to have a state-of-the-art facility with minimal financial impact to the city." The tax puts the city's sales tax at the maximum of 8.2.5 percent. It was originally cre- ated by voters in 1999 for five years. . Since then, it has been used to help pay for a school re.source officer, laptops for pblice vehicles and radio equipment for the dispatch center. :: The city collected $681,619 from the sales tax last fiscal y~ar, according to financial director Terry Leake. The rev- enue has remained relatively co.nstant throughout the years, slie said; .: With .the opening of several n~w businesses, includi~ a Market Street supermarket at Town Center Colleyville, city officials hope to keep sales tax cQllections steady. , "We have more business ~ Pr.oceeds of the IiiiiiIMiiI crime-control levy would help payoff the Justi~e Genter and would . pay for more police officers and better equipment.

When setting the election, the council will decide the length of the renewal period for the crime-control tax. When the Legislature approved the tax in 1995, it had to be renewed 'after five years. State law now allows the tax to be extended longer if voters approve. \ "Personally, I think the longer, the better," Tigu~ said. "It allows us J?:S9q.!iriue to update the equjpm~~tl'to' also start new programs 'and con- tinue to make us' one_ of the safest communities in Tarrant County." . .

The City Council unani- mously agreed Tuesday night to pay Hurst's portion of the Cot- tonbelt Trail project. The Col- leyville City Council approved a similar resolution this month. The regional project is expected to provide a hike- and-bike route between Fort Worth and Grapevine along- side the Cottonbelt rail line. Ralff Associates of Fort Worth received a $107,000 con- tract from Hurst and a $45,960' contract from Colleyville to design a l.4-mile stretch of an ll-mile link. of the Cottonbelt Trail that ,will eventually stretch from Grapevine to North Richland Hills. With Tuesday's resolution, Hurst officially endorsed the project, said Mario Canizares, assistant director of communi- ty services. "1bis is the last step before we turn the reins over to Halff to begin the work," he said. Grapevine built its portion of the ll-mile trail in 1999. Doug Evans, parks and recreation director for Grapevine, said the trail begins near Pool Road and ."",. Cities continue ~ efforts to connect Grapevine and North Richland Hills with an l1-mile portion of the Cottonbelt Trail. Texas 26 and ends downtown. Eventually, Grapevine's portion will connect with a trail through Colleyville, Hurst and North Richland Hills. Colleyville's portion is being built in three phases. The first phase, which began in May, is expected to be com- plete in winter 2004. It involves creating a walkway fr'om John McCain Road to Bettinger Drive, said Dianne McWethy, Colleyville's deputy city manager. The second phase, a joint project between Colleyville and Hurst, will stretch from Bettinger Drlve to Precinct Line Road. Ctilleyville's first phase is a joint effort with North Rich- land Hills, which is working on a link from Browning Court northeast to Precinct Line Road, McWethy said. Colleyville's third phase, as yet unfunded, will provide a link. from John McCain Road to the intersection of Pool Road and Texas 26 in Grapevine, officials said. Colleyville and Hurst are contributing about 26 percent of the funding for the, phase two project, and federal grants are paying for about 74 per- cent, McWethy said. The total lA-mile project is expected to cost about $104 million, with Hurst contributing $282,056 and Colleyville contributing $88,173, Hurst officials said Mike Moya, vice president of Halif Associates of Fort Worth, said the engineering and design will take about 12 months because of pennit requirements and because each city and the Texas Transportation Depart- ment muSt review the plans. "It's like a three-way COll- . tract," he .said. Hurst City Councilman Richard Ward said the Cotton- belt Trail will be a good spot for walking his yellow Labrador retriever, Tufl'y. "I'm glad that it's being done," he said."! hope that Colleyville will show the same enthusiasm as Hurst has for getting this project finished."

The six local cities will also host the 2004 games. The games are expected to inject $7 million into the local economy, said Jim Browne, parks and recreation director for North Richland Hills and an executive committee member. Browrie said that figure is based on expectations that par- ticipants and spectators will stay at local hotels, eat at local restau- rants and purchase gasoline in Northeast Tarrant County. Tom Smith, general manager of the Hyatt Regency D!FW; said 120 rooms have been reserved for athletes, spectators and oth- er attendees. "It's bringing a lot of people to the area and a lot of business to us," said Michele Robinzine, assistant general manager of AmeriSuites in Grapevine. She said 50 of the hotel's 125 rooms had been reserved by Games of Texas participants or spectators. The Games of Texas is billed as the state's largest multisport event. It is the state champi- onship competition for the offi- cially sanctioned Texas Amateur Athletic Federation sports of track and fieid, boxing, golf, swimming and tennis. Competi- tors in those events must qualify at regional meets. Organizers are relying on up to 700 volunteers to keep costs down, Browne said. In addi- tion' 80 parks and recreation officials from around Texas are volunteering to help run the games, he said. Each of the six participating cities contributed $20,000 toward games costs, such as police and emergency medical workers and T-shirts for volun- teers. The cities also shared the cost of -a $25,000 bid fee when vying for the games. The games have never before been held in Northeast Tarrant County, but multicity participation is not u41prece- dented. In 1989, several Gulf Coast cities hosted the games together, said Holly Ellman, a public relations professional hired to \york with news media organizations on the 2003 games. , Holding the games in the same location for more than one year is also not unprecedented. The games were held in Lub- bock in 1997 and 1998 and in Waco in 1995 and 1996, Ellman said.T John Kirsch (817) 685-3805 : "i.'amtryillg . ~J keep the faith. It's hard . sometimes.

GOOLSBY Staff Writer Economic development has long been a concern in Colleyville. Now the city is asking resi- dents, developers and other inter- ested people to join a task force that would offer ideas for a solid economic development plan. "VIhat we're- hoping for is a cross-section of people interested in the community: developers, bankers, retailers and simply resi- dents" said council member Jon Ayers' ','Ve want to take the poli, tics out of it so the problem can be evaluated from a reflective ....iew- point of \\'hat is best for Collcy- ,olle'" Critical areas the task force needs to address arc attracting and keeping businesses, and reversing the downward trend in sales tax revenues, several officials said. Those issues were discussed at length during a June retreat for cityofficiaJs and council members 'We kept talking about what we might do and how we can make a niche 'Nith what we have," said council member Rich Hendler, who proposed forming the task force. ~Our top priority is to save our c.xisting businesses and push for an atmosphere that \\ill give the business community signals that we are for appropriate develop- MAY REVENUES Here's a look at May sales tax revenues compared with the same penod in 2002 for Colleyville, Grapevine and Southlake: .

Officials are similarly optimistic in Southlake. where sales taxes also have been higher than projected, and Collcyville, whe,e figures have dipped. "We're happy about it, but just because one month is goOO, doesn't mean the next month will be," said Roger 'Nelson, Grapevine's city manager.

The task force is the first step in that process, he said, It will have nine voting members and an un- determined number of nonvoting members. The City Council is to decide on the members in late Au- gust Mr. Ayers said he hopes the task force will develop a plan that the council can endorse, providing the city a written economic devel- opmentstrategy. "We have budget plans, we have master plans, but no one has for- malized a plan for economic devel- opment,' he said. "If we can get a plan in place and it works, then fu- ture councils can change it or choose to ignore it at their own periL" Tommy Hardy. director of de- velopment services in Grapevine, said his city doesn't have a written economic development plan. "'We've set economic develop- mentgoals in our budget, but what we find is that every deal is differ~ ent, n he said. "'We just haven't seen a need for fa written plan] in re- cent years. We've done it both ways, and I don't know if one way is better than the other." Southlake also lacks a written plan - but does have a mission statement and list of economic de- velopment goals.

"'I doubt a written plan has any signif- icant bearing on a location factor for a business, but it does provide good internal direction and allows you to develop programs that im- plementthegoals: Colleyville City Manager Bill Lindley said a written plan will provide a road map for the citY's fu- ture, 'lhat doesn't mean you have toslayon a specific road, but it does help to have structure," he said, "So I think having a plan is very useful, very valuable, Having a plan isn't going to make you a success, be- cause you have to implement the plan, but it helps guide a commu- nityon where it needs to go," Colleyville last fonned an eco- nomic development task force in 1998, Its main focus was on Town Center and The Village at Colley- ville developments on State High- way 26, "Some of the ideas that came out of it were put to use at The Vil- lage, like the concept of an old Eu- ropean look," said Anne Marie Ad- ams, a member of the 1998 task force. "We didn't touch a whole lot on businesses and sales tal{. It was more on design concepts and some highway access: Officials said the new task force ,vill focus on Colleyville's three business corridors: State Highway 12], Slate Highway 26 and Pre- cinct line Road. "Those are really where our re- tail opportunities are, and each one has its O'NIl characteristics, n Mr. Lindley said "'Precinct Line is really just beginning to develop. Highway26 is taking off again and on 121, it's a whole different area becauSe it's a major highway." Mr. Hendler many things can be done at the council and city staff level to alleviate a number of Col- leyville's economic development issues. A task force is one way to start the process, "'This will be a way to tap into some incredible resources of com- munity leaders, business leaders and others to get some fresh ideas,' he said.

"'Sometimes, revenue sources come in, and sometimes they don't: According to figures from the state comptroller's office, Grape- vine's sales tax revenue for May to- taled $U8 million - an inc,ease of $55,000 from May 2002.

He also cited a greater interest in Soccer and the games' location in a large metropolitan area. In some sports, participants only had to register to compete. "You get morc of a dr<l\V from the Metroplex," Fralicks said, The four-day event i'l Northcaq ,rv1cwl' un ~;I'()RTS 1)11 (ll~ SPORTS Continued from IE Tarrant County featured 14 sports, among them swirruning, track and field, baseball, gymnas- tics, boxing and disc golf The Games of Texas, pat- terned after the Olympic Games, are sponsored by the Texas Amateur Athletic Federation. The event, which began in San Antonio in 1986, offers a forum for training and competition among the state's Olympic hope' fuls and recreational athletes of all ages and skiil levels. The games will return to Northeast Tarrant next year, Forty-seven state amateur sw'imming records and 24 track and field records were broken, assistant results coordinator Joe Moore said, For host cities Bedford, Co 1- leyville, Euless, Grapevine. Hurst and North Richland Hills, the event means an economic boost for hotels, restaurants and other businesses, Fralicks said, How much money the Games of Texas brought in won't be known for several weeks, said Jim Browne, chairman of the event's sponsorship committee, "A $7 million economic impact was estimated, '1Jld I sus- pect it will be higher," he said. "When that estimate was made. only 7,000 athletes had regis- tered." The track and field competi- tion was the largest ever in the games, with about 3,100 partici- pants. About 2,100 swimmers also competed, In soccer. 104 teams participated, and organiz- ers had to turn away about 70 teams because there were not enough officials, Browne said, "That was a very pleasant surprise," he said_ Competitors ranged in age (rom a 66-year-old swimmer to ,everal 5-year-olds in track and field, Fralicks said, About 30,000 spectators had been expected, but final atten- dance figures were unavailable Sunday.

Nine- and lO-year-old boys not much taller were try- ing to jump that height Satur- day during the Games of Texas. Omavi Darden, a 9-year-old boy with beautiful long black NOICTHEAST BEAT LIEBER Continued from lB sldes of Omavi performed their best jumps of the day. . . Reople watching from the lmds said it looked like the L?Oys were fleeing a flying bug. ~ "We need to fmd somebody to clean it up," a judge said. "Are we going to skip him?" another judge asked. Omavi's eyes widened. Skip him? Not on your life! This Rowlett boy lives for this moment. High jumping, his father, Everett Darden, said later, is the fIrst activity that inspired Omavi to be the best. He practices twice a week at a stadium in Garland with his coach, Dave Parnell. Three or four more times a week, he practices at home in his par- ents' bedroom. Omavi jumps over a PVC pipe at the end of his parents' bed. Sometimes, when his father is home, his father holds the pipe. When his father is not home, Omavi uses stacked pillows to hold the pipe in place. This is how Olympic '\eams begin.

But he said he would jump anyway. "Are you sure?" the judge asked. "Yeah." "Whenever you're ready." The judge called for some- one from the Harris Methodist H.E.B. hospital tent, and athlet- ic trainer Staci Braden ran over. The judge asked her to examine the jumper. So Braden walked over to Omavi, but he ignored her. "Darden is up," someone said. Omavi ran toward the bar and jumped with everything he had. But he missed. If he had made the jump, he would have set two person- al records. A few minutes before, his jump at 4 feet was his all-time best. Two men in yellow shirts arrived with a bucket of water and a broom and cleaned up the mess. The judges moved the tent a few feet to the left. "How do you feel?" Braden asked the boy. "A little hot," he answered. "Let's go take a walk to the medical tent," she said, point- ing to the7ther end of the sta- dium. his height. His name was about to be called again. Suddenly, he quietly announced to no one in partic- ular, "I think I'm going to throw up." At that moment, a giant splatter erupted from within. A dozen boys sitting on both More on UEBER on 8B "Darden is up," somebody said again. "They're calling me," Omavi said. ']lie you seeing spots or anything?" the trainer asked. He shook his head and turned away. The only thing he could see was jumping 4 feet 2. A 9-year-old with a dream was telling adults to bug off. The trainer waved her arms at the watching judge as if to say, "This is a stubborn kid." But he missed again. The judge walked over to the trainer and said, "I know he says he's OK, but I would just rather you hang out and watch him." A few minutes later, some- body said, "Darden is up." It was his last chance. Omavi paused then ran toward the high jump pit. He exploded off one foot and tried to coast over the bar like a graceful horse clearing a fence. But his body brushed the bar on the way down, knocking it off. He was done. "Good try," the judge said. His father, waiting for him in the stands, wore a'shirt that read, "Omavi Darden. Carland Track Club. Bantam High Jump 2003." There was a pho- tograph of hff? son on the shirt, too. ' "He did great," the coach said. "Don't worry," the father told his son. "You'll be back next year." Omavi looked at his dad, then he looked away. When he turned back again, big tears were streaking down his cheeks. "What's wrong?" somebody asked. "He was expecting a medal," the father said. "He worked real hard over the summer for this." "Why do you like this?" Omavi was asked. "Because I want to be the best," he answered. "Does the name Omavi mean anything special?" his father was asked. "We picked it out of a book," his father answered. "It means 'the highest' in Swahili. We wanted something differ- ent." Omavi Darden must look forward to next year. Until then, he will practice flopping on to his parents' bed, dream- ing about being the best and trying to live up to his name.
