Family selling truffles
to help fulfill wish list
By Peggy Heinkel-Wolfe

Nine-year-old Ben Pierce has a wish
list.
It’s a long one, with things like going
skiing and visiting a chocolate factory,
Harry Potter World, the deserts of
Utah, McDonald Observatory, London
ONLINE EXTRA: Hear Ben and his family talk about their
plans on video at DentonRC.com
and Paris.
On Thursday, his siblings — and
boxes of Valentine’s Day truffles — were
working to make it happen.
Ben started the list after his vision
therapist told him and his parents it
was time to fill his life with experiences
so that when his vision is gone, he’ll
have visual memories.
Ben was born prematurely. At 1

The Thin Line festival is bringing
more than music and documentary
films to Denton this weekend. It is al-
so bringing money to local business-
Many of the venues featuring
Thin line events are near the down-
town Square, which creates more
foot traffic in the area, and nice
weather anticipated through the
weekend should bring even more
crowds to the area, said Julie Glover,
economic development program ad-
ministrator for the city of Denton.
Opening night drew a record-set-
ting crowd to the festival, and this
year’s expansion to include musical
venues has added to the draw, offi-
cials said.

‘Go Red'
Luncheon to raise
awareness of heart
disease in women
By Megan Gray

Cindy Wilke, guest speaker for today’s
Go Red for Women Luncheon and Fash-
ion Show, said if she could pick one thing
to achieve with her talk, it would be to
touch the heart of another woman.
The purpose of the sold-out 10th annu-
al event at the University of North Texas
Gateway Center is to raise awareness of
the No. 1 killer in women — heart disease.
Proceeds benefit American Heart Associ-
ation research and education in heart
health, organizers said.
Wilke, 58, who works at Texas Health
Presbyterian Hospital Denton, said she
had a history of heart disease on both sides
of her family and kept putting off getting
checked because her mother died from the
disease.
“Not to be cliche, but I really want
women to really get to know their bodies,”
said Wilke, who was diagnosed with heart
disease in 2012.
Wilke said she noticed symptoms of
what she feared was heart disease in early
January 2012.
“I have an iron stomach and when I
started having three to four month’s
worth of really bad indigestion that

Baby boy delivered in park on TWU campus

When Janna Oehlschlaeger and her hus-
band went for a walk after checking into Inanna
Birth & Women’s Care on Thursday, they
thought they’d go for a casual stroll.
But 20 minutes into their walk around the
paths near Lowry Woods Apartments at Texas
Woman’s University, everything changed.
“As we were walking, I felt like my contrac-
tions were getting hard and I remember think-
ing, ‘OK, this isn’t good if they are this hard.’ I
thought I had hours ahead of me,” she said.
They were on the far side of the park and she
told her husband, Ben, she couldn’t walk; then
