Officials start designs for Celina Fire Station No. 4 Plans to build a fourth fire station are underway in Celina. Celina City Council members approved a $726,000, 12-month contract with Conduit Architecture Design LLC to design the new station during a June 11 meeting. It will be the city’s first of several planned fire stations located east of Preston Road and will provide additional coverage for east Celina residents, officials said. Conduit has designed multiple stations for other North Texas cities’ fire departments, including stations 8, 9, 10 and 11 in McKinney, according to a meeting presentation. “They are well-versed and experienced in build- ing fire stations,” Celina’s Director of Engineering

While city leaders, city staff and first responders worked around the clock during the late May storms, there is still more to do, Celina Fire Chief Mark Metdker said. “Recovery is truly a marathon, not a sprint,” he said. What comes next The city will continue to help residents with the ongoing recovery process and cleanup, City Manager Robert Ranc said. Prairie Meadow Lane, which is where the tornado hit, is located inside Celina’s extraterritorial jurisdiction and under the county’s responsibility. Council member Wendie Wigginton recommended city staff look into reimbursement from Collin County for the city’s services like clean up efforts during the storm. “It just seems fair that we ought to be able to bill the county for the services,” Wiggin- ton said.

said. The fire station’s construction contract has a $7.2 million budget and should take a year to finish, according to a meeting presentation. Construction should start once final designs are approved next year. Zooming out Mayor Ryan Tubbs said the new station has a different architect than the firm that designed Celina’s Fire Station No. 3, which “set the bar really high” when it opened April 4. Glasgow said it should not be an issue as most fire stations have the same base components and should not look too different than the city’s existing stations.

The search for a new Celina Fire Depart- ment chief comes after Fire Chief Mark Metdker retired in June. A community meet and greet was held on June 26 for residents to meet the five finalists. The details The five finalists include: • Robin Bergerson, executive deputy fire chief, Waco • Chris Connealy, senior director of emer- gency services (ret.), Williamson County • Eric Everson, assistant fire chief, city of Celina • Adrian Garcia, fire chief, city of Mission • Les Stephens, fire chief, city of San Marcos

May 28 meeting. About the project

Fire Station No. 4 is set to break ground in late 2024, according to a meeting presentation. It will be Prosper’s first fire station east of Coit Road. “This station will be ... strategically positioned to serve the eastern part of our town,” Fire Chief Stuart Blasingame said. The breakdown Council members originally approved a $608,380 design agreement with Brown, Reyn- olds, Watford Architects to design the fire station in November 2021. Unexpected price increases and postponements is what led BRW Architects to request the addi- tional funds, according to meeting documents.

• November 2021: Council approves a $608,380 design agreement based off a $4.6 million construction estimate. • June 2022: Council approves an agreement with Pogue Construction. • August 2022: Council sees early designs. • January 2023: Council sets the project price at $10.21 million and postpones project to October 2023. The town has $1.65 million in unallocated public safety bond funds for the additional project cost, according to meeting documents.

Prosper Arts District to start development later this year

A new arts district is coming to Prosper. Prosper Town Council approved a partnership with developers to bring the Prosper Arts District to downtown with a 5-1 vote during a June 11 council meeting. Member Chris Kern voted in opposition. The details Prosper Arts District will be a 35-acre mixed-use development at the northwest corner of the Dallas North Tollway and Prosper Trail. The district will feature three hotel concepts, 515 multifamily units and an extensive retail village centered around a water feature, according to a June 18 Gensler and Capitalize Ventures news release. Architecture and development companies Gensler and Capitalize Ventures, which is based in Frisco, will both contribute to the project. The project will start its four-phase develop- ment later this year, according to the release. Phase 1 will focus on planning and designing

the overall infrastructure, including waterway features, roads and walking paths, as well as introducing a sports-focused hotel, a parking garage and retail. This phase is set for completion in late 2026, according to the release. Subsequent phases will introduce additional multifamily units, two more hotels and additional retail oerings, according to the release. What they are saying “We meticulously curated Prosper Arts District with insights from the planning and zoning commission and the Town Council of Prosper, sup- plemented by feedback from our future neighbors. We look forward to unveiling the creative hotel brands and retail partners that will join us in this venture,” Capitalize Ventures developer Krishna Nimmagadda said in the release.

Prosper Arts District will be located o the Dallas North Tollway and will be nestled on 35 acres of land.

Celina ISD OKs 3% teacher, sta raises Celina ISD teachers and sta members will receive a 3% raise in the 2024-25 school year. The compensation increase was unani- mously approved by the board June 3. The gist Employees will receive a 3% raise at the midpoint of their pay grade. The cost of the raise for the district is $1.18 million. Salaries for starting teachers with zero years of experience will be $56,200—a $1,200 increase from the starting salary of $55,000 in 2023-24. The board was expected to approve the FY 2024-25 budget during its June 24 meeting. • 3% raise with a $1.18M inancial impact on the budget • 2.5% raise with a $1.03M impact on the budget • 2% raise with an $876,927 impact on the budget Three compensation increase options were presented to the board of trustees:

Richland High School’s opening will shift Prosper ISD attendance zones in the 202526 school year.

RENDERING COURTESY PROSPER ISD

Richland High School to open with 912 graders, shift attendance zones Prosper ISD’s fourth high school will open with 9-12 grade students in the 2025-26 school year. The grade conguration and attendance zone for Richland High School, located near the corner of First Street and Teel Parkway, was approved by the board June 17. The initial proposal for the school was to open with only ninth and 10th grade students, but district ocials decided to open with all grades, Deputy Superintendent Greg Celina ISD looks to potential bond A districtwide stadium and a community welcome center are two potential future projects for Celina ISD as the district faces fast growth in the coming years. Celina ISD’s long-range facility planning committee presented the two recommen- dations during a May 20 board meeting. The group was made up of CISD parents, teachers, sta, students and community members. The committee’s charge was to develop potential recommendations for a future CISD bond program. The details Key areas explored by the committee were early childhood education; ne arts programs; science, technology, engineering and mathematics programs; athletics; and community engagement.

Bradley said. Students zoned for Richland High that will be in grades 9-11 in the 2025-26 school year will attend the new school. Seniors can choose to remain at Prosper High School or elect to move to Richland High, Bradley said. The context Families in the Creeks of Legacy community have the choice to remain at Prosper High or trans- fer to Richland High. This is due to the neighbor- hood’s proximity to Prosper High, Bradley said. Richland High is expected to open with about 1,250 students in the 2025-26 school year. Looking forward In the 2024-25 school year, PISD will open its fth middle school and 18th elementary school. Collin College shutting down 4 programs Collin College will shut down four programs due to low demand. What happened During its May 28 meeting, Collin College’s board of trustees unanimously approved the closure of the following programs: • Activity care professional • Construction technology-carpentry • Construction technology-facilities management • Metal arts Jon Hardesty, Collin College vice president of academic aairs, said no faculty members have been laid o as a result of the program closures. Dig deeper All four programs set for closure were launched in the last six years.

“The number of graduates and the number of students that have demonstrated interest in enrolling in course sections in these programs are extraordinarily low,” JON HARDESTY, COLLIN COLLEGE VICE PRESIDENT OF ACADEMIC AFFAIRS.

The activity care professional program, meant to train students as activity care specialists in assisted living facilities, launched in fall 2020 and has had nine students earn certicates, with zero earning degrees. The Construction Technology-Carpentry pro- gram launched in fall 2021, and has awarded one degree and seven certicates, though Hardesty said one student is responsible for the degree and three of the certicates. The program has three unique courses—wall systems, oor systems and foundations and forms. All three classes had 13-16 students last fall, but none had more than six in the spring.

Rodeo Celina draws crowds Heavy rain did not stop the cowboys and cowgirls competing in Rodeo Celina. Approximately 5,000 people attended the first event held May 31 and June 1-2. The rodeo had nearly sold- out crowds on Friday and Sunday, with a packed house Saturday night. The Greater Celina Chamber Foundation hosted the event, which was sanctioned by the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association. It was held at the Southfork Ranch in Parker, which was donated by the ranch’s owner Cen- turion American. The rodeo held the competition events of bareback rid- ing, bronc riding, steer wrestling, tie-down roping, team roping, barrel racing and bull riding. Mutton bustin was the first event of the rodeo. A portion of Rodeo Celina proceeds went to Celina ISD’s agriculture program and the Celina Future Farmers of America program. This year, the Greater Celina Chamber Foundation gave a total of $20,000 in scholarships to eight students. The Celina FFA received $5,000 to attend the FFA State

Convention later this summer. Celina Rodeo also raised $5,000 to support the Celina Disaster Relief Fund, which is helping those affected by the May 25 tornado. The Celina Rodeo will be held at Southfork Ranch for the next two years. The second annual event will be held May 30 through June 1, 2025. The Southfork Ranch location is temporary as the rodeo works to find a permanent location in Celina, according to Celina chamber officials. 1 Two riders work to rope a steer during the team roping event.

Celina City Council members approved renaming an approximately 1-mile portion of North County Road 58 during a May 14 meeting. The new name will ocially go into eect on July 8 pending county approval on July 1, according to meeting documents. The bigger picture City ocials chose to change the road’s name to align with Celina’s thoroughfare plans as the nearby Legacy Hills Develop- ment continues to complete its own road projects, according to meeting documents.

Prosper to install trac signal at Gee Road, Acacia Parkway Prosper residents could soon see a new trac signal at a Windsong Ranch intersection. The details Prosper Town Council members approved a $125,448 purchase for the trac signal and related items during a May 28 meeting. The project has a construction budget of $460,000, according to meeting documents. It is expected to take six to eight months for pole manufacturing, powder coating and related equipment delivery, but town ocials are working to expedite it before sending the project out to bid, according to meeting documents.

North Legacy Drive receives repairs following heavy rain Prosper’s North Legacy Drive is expected to reopen June 26 as contractors nish placing additional drainage pipes under the street. Prosper Town Council members unanimously approved an emergency repair order for the project during a May 28 meeting. What happened? Recent heavy rains caused soil erosion around drainage facilities under the road at the creek crossing, which the additional pipes should help with, according to meeting documents. Work to repair North Legacy Drive began the week of June 17 and should nish by June 26, Street Supervisor Luis Galvez said. Construction costs $44,870 and is funded by the town’s annual street maintenance fund.

Celina to extend Coit Road widening project Designs to widen Celina’s Coit Road are being updated before an upcoming fall 2024 groundbreaking. The gist Celina City Council amended a services con- tract to widen Coit Road from two lanes to four for $78,500 to extend the project further north during a May 14 meeting. The original construction contract was approved by council members in March 2022 and would have ended the four-lane road at just north of Overlook Court and Punk Carter Park- way, according to meeting documents.

Collin College growth to help meet region’s health care needs chalked up to several factors, including burnout during the COVID-19 pandemic and a shortage of qualied nursing educators.

As North Texas faces a shortage of nurses and other health care professionals, Collin College has continued to expand opportunities for area students to help ll that need. What’s happening When Collin College Director of Nursing Amy Wilson met with area health care partners, prior to last fall semester, they expressed a major need for more nurses. According to a 2022 report from the Texas Department of State Health Services, North Texas had the highest vacancy rates for registered nurses, 35.2%, in the state. That vacancy rate for registered nurses was up from 16.9% in 2019. Collin College responded by increasing its admission from 90-to-120 students per semester in its LVN-to-RN bridge program, which provides a path for licensed vocational nurses to become registered nurses. “Over the course of the last year, we’ve had an additional 100 students placed in nursing programs,” Wilson said. “That’s completely on the demand of our community.” What else Wilson said that nursing shortages can be

She added that Collin College has been able to maintain enough educators to support its fast-growing nursing program, along with the addition of other “nontraditional” teaching methods—such as virtual reality. The health care shortages extend beyond nurs- ing; 64% of hospitals had reduced services due to stang shortages, according to a 2023 report from the Texas Hospital Association. Michelle Millen, Collin College’s dean of aca- demic aairs for health sciences, said the college works with area hospitals and high schools into the health care eld. What’s next Millen said the college is “always looking” at new growth opportunities to expand its health care oerings. The most recent addition is the Clinical Oper- ations Management program, which launched last fall, and is Collin College’s second health care related bachelor’s program, joining nursing. Future areas of growth could include medical and cath lab technician programs, Millen said.

Collin College oers a variety of programs related to the health care industry, including its Nurse Aide Training.

PISD partners with hospital for behavioral health needs

“The telebehavioral partnership is a way to support our students and families,” Webb said. The number of students using the free services has increased 84% since the 2019-20 school year, according to Children’s Health. “Early prevention is key,” Webb said. Behavioral health is also being addressed at the district. Every campus has counselors to support student’s academic, personal and social-emotional needs, Webb said. PISD will also have facilitators to determine if students have a disability that requires an accommodation in the 2024-25 school year, she said.

Prosper ISD students can video- chat with a licensed counselor for free through a partnership with Children’s Health. The partnership for the School- Based Telebehavioral Health program began in 2019 and allows students to speak with a licensed counselor through video conference sessions, said Alexis Webb, PISD’s executive director of guidance and counseling. The sessions are available to students at no cost to PISD or families and is funded through the hospital. The partnership allows families, whose children may need additional support, to be connected to mental health professionals, Webb said.

Because emergencies enjoy nice weather, too.

More care that’s right around the corner. It’s no secret that emergencies happen when we least expect them. But when they do happen, you can count on us to be ready to handle your emergencies with advanced, compassionate care that’s close to home and with wait times typically under 10 minutes.

Local experts talk navigating seasonal allergies in North Texas

While seasonal allergies are generally worse in spring and fall, local experts say North Texas residents deal with them all year. Dr. Stacy Silvers is chief medical officer for Aspire Allergy and Sinus, a company that runs allergy clinics in Texas and four other states. She said allergies occur because of response to pollen from the body’s immune system. “For whatever reason, our immune system has decided that the pollen in the air is bad for us,” Silvers said. The details Dr. John Van Wagoner, who is part of the medical group Southwest Allergy and Asthma Center in Frisco, said seasonal allergy symptoms include sneezing, itchy and stuffy nose, coughing and itchy and red eyes. Fatigue, sore throat and headaches are also common.

seasonal allergy season starts. If low-dose medications aren’t improving one’s quality of life, then Van Wagoner recommends seeing a doctor. “There’s a whole host of options to help people feel better with their allergies,” Silvers said. “Treating allergies will not only make your nose and eyes feel better, but your lungs as well.”

The options Remedies include over the counter antihista- mines such as Zyrtec or Allegra. Van Wagoner said these medications help with minor symptoms. Silvers said nasal sprays such as Flonase and Nasacort work best because they help with most symptoms; however, they are also slow-acting and work best when they are started before the
