Kids take wing on ‘mAAgic’ flight
“I’m real excited so far [for the trip].
I want to ride the airplane."
— Avery Anderson, a Lake Dallas 5-year-old
Children with medical
problems get dream
vacation to Orlando

GRAPEVINE — Avery Anderson,
from Lake Dallas, is 5 years old. He just
started kindergarten and Batman is his
favorite superhero.
Avery stands next to a cardboard
castle in Terminal C, Gate C2 at Dallas/
Fort Worth International Airport on
Friday.
Disney princess and superhero col-
oring books, balloons, blowout noise-
makers, cupcakes and party plates
adorn tables set up at the gate. He’s
about to embark on his first flight, and
hundreds of volunteers in matching
shirts fill the terminal to make his day
special.
“I want a Batman cape,” Avery says
as he tugs on his dad’s shirttail. Instead,
Michelle Gutierrez, a Make-a-Wish
foundation wish coordinator, brings
him a Batman cupcake.
Avery has cancer, but it is in remis-
sion.
He is leaving on his dream vacation
— a cost-free, weeklong trip — with an-
other Lake Dallas resident, Carson
Hurley, 6, and Arlington residents Dan-
iel, 5, and Ayser, 3, who all have had life-
threatening conditions.
The kids and their families are head-
ed to Orlando, Florida, to stay in the
Give Kids the World Village, a 70-acre
resort, where they will stay while visit-
ing childhood wonderlands such as
Disney World, Legoland and Universal
Studios. The trip is made possible by a
joint effort between the Make-a-Wish
Foundation, the Something mAAgic
Foundation and American Airlines.
Excitement radiates through the ter-
minal.
“I’m real excited so far [for the trip].
I want to ride the airplane,” Avery said.

Some classes go paperless
By Britney Tabor

btabor@ dentonrc. com
How schoolwork is assigned, turned
in and graded in some Denton school
district classes is a lot different from the
traditional methods most people are ac-
customed to seeing. In some classrooms,
paper assignments have been traded for
a paperless, Web-based alternative.
Some Denton teachers say they’ve
found a convenient way of uploading
documents and assignments in Google
Classroom, a free product offered to ed-
ucators.
Teachers are using the product to cre-
ate assignments, upload videos, give stu-
dents feedback, grade papers and stay
updated on what assignments students
have turned in, all from one central loca-
tion.
Google Classroom allows students to
receive and upload completed assign-
ments from any devices with a Web
browser, and teachers can view student
progress on an assignment in real time.
Because of it, students don’t have to
worry about remembering a book or

Police: Worker fired
from processing plant
attacks two with knife
By Tim Talley
Associated Press
OKLAHOMA CITY - A man fired
from an Oklahoma food processing plant
beheaded a woman with a knife and was
attacking another worker when he was
shot and wounded by a company official,
police said Friday
Moore police Sgt. Jeremy Lewis said
police are waiting until Alton Nolen, 30, is
conscious to arrest him in Thursday’s at-
tack and have asked the FBI to help in-
vestigate after co-workers at Vaughan
Foods in the south Oklahoma City suburb
told authorities that he recently started
trying to convert several employees to Is-
lam.
Nolen severed the head of Colleen Huf-
ford, 54, Lewis said.
“Yes, she was beheaded,” Lewis told
The Associated Press before a Friday news
conference.
Lewis said Nolen then stabbed Traci
Johnson, 43, a number of times before

Bond set at $1 million for murder suspect
By Megan Gray-Hatfield

A $1 million bond was set Friday after-
noon for a man police accuse of murder-
ing his estranged wife.
Flower Mound police Capt. Richard
Brooks said Daniel Fink, who turned 41 on
Friday, was arraigned at the Flower
Mound city jail, where his bond on the
murder charge was set.
The city jail is a holding facility and po-
lice have 72 hours to book a suspect into
the Denton County Jail,
police said.
“If not today, he will
be booked into the Den-
ton County Jail no later
than tomorrow [today]
morning,” Brooks said
during a phone inter-
view Friday
Daniel Fink was arrested on a murder
charge Thursday afternoon after he was
taken into custody for questioning about
the death of his wife, Aide Fink.
Brooks said the couple’s 16-year-old
son called 911 early Thursday to report a
shooting that had just occurred in their
home after midnight in the 3300 block of
Heather Glen Drive.
Police arrived at 12:20 a.m. and discov-
ered Aide Fink, 50, who had been shot
multiple times in the chest and abdomen,
officials said. She was treated at the scene
before being taken to Medical Center of
Lewisville where she later died.
The couple had three children, two
sons ages 16 and 8, and a daughter, 11.
Brooks said all three were inside the
house at the time of the shooting, but he
wasn’t sure who was awake.
‘At least one was up [the son who
called 911],” he said while adding it was a
school night so the younger two might
have been asleep.
Brooks said that how many times Aide
Fink was shot at, what type of gun was
used and if it was recovered at the home,
are details the department is not releasing
