Rehab of Alamo sparks fight over portrayal of slavery’s role in battle
BY E MMANUEL F ELTON

Nearly 200 years after the his-

toric battle, Texans are still fight-
ing over how exactly to remember
the Alamo.
Officials in San Antonio are
preparing to break ground on a
$550 million project that will
transform the site of the 300-
year-old former Spanish mission.
In addition to restoring the centu-
ries-old church and convent, a
new 100,000-square-foot visitor
center and museum, decked out
with a 4D theater and a rooftop
restaurant, is being built across
the street.
But amid all the fanfare, one
question has plagued the project
for years: Will it fairly and accu-
rately portray the role slavery
played in the Texas war for inde-
pendence against Mexico?
For many in the state, the Ala-
mo is a sacred place where brave
revolutionaries were slaughtered
by the Mexican army in 1836. For
generations, the battle has been
used as shorthand for Texas
pride. That is how the Alamo
should continue to be remem-
bered, some officials say.
If the new museum focuses too
much on slavery or other unsa-
vory aspects of Texas history, it
may deter visitors to one of the
state’s most popular tourist at-
tractions, Jerry E. Patterson, a
Republican who served as Texas
Land commissioner from 2003 to
2015, said. “If we make it a mu-

SOME WORKERS SEE
ANTI-UNION TACTIC
Coffee chain CEO denies
trying to dilute vote

BY E MMA U BER
AND T IM C ARMAN

In the weeks since workers at

seven Compass Coffee locations
announced plans to unionize, the
Washington-based company has
gone on a hiring spree that orga-
nizers and labor experts say is a
traditional tactic to try to dilute
pro-union votes.
Compass co-founder and chief
executive Michael Haft said the
company has hired workers to fill
empty positions and prepare for
new store openings, including
three more locations expected to
open by the end of the year. But
union organizers have alleged
that the recent swelling of the
ranks is unlike any they’ve seen,
and that some new hires appear
to be company plants or vulner-
able people who would be reluc-
tant to support a union at the risk
of losing their jobs.

CLASSIC PEANUTS CHARLES SCHULZ MIKE DU JOUR MIKE LESTER
imple Saturday columns
focus on basic technique
and logical thinking.
Today’s South opens 2NT
on his fine hand and lands
at 3NT after North uses
Stayman. When West leads
the jack of spades, South
may be surprised — and
dismayed — at the sight of
dummy: A contract of five
diamonds might be safer,
RHYMES WITH ORANGE HILARY PRICE MARK TRAIL JULES RIVERA
and six diamonds would be a
reasonable undertaking.
But the auction is over.
South must focus on the
actual contract, not one he
might prefer. How should he
play?
If the diamonds break 3-2,
South has no worries: He is
sure of six diamonds, two
hearts, two spades and a
club. But what if diamonds LIO MARK TATULLI MIKE PETERS
MOTHER GOOSE & GRIMM
break 4-1 (a 28% chance)?
After winning the first
spade, South gets an extra
chance by leading the A-K
and a third heart. When the
hearts break 3-3, dummy’s
fourth heart is a winner, and
dummy has a diamond entry.
South wins two spades, three
hearts, three diamonds and
one club.
If hearts failed to break HAGAR THE HORRIBLE CHRIS BROWNE BALDO HECTOR CANTU & CARLOS CASTELLANOS
evenly, South could still hope
for a 3-2 diamond break.

Both vulnerable. Your part-
ner deals and opens three
diamonds. The next player
passes. What do you say?
ANSWER: Bid six dia-
monds. If partner has 6, 7 6 BLONDIE DEAN YOUNG & JOHN MARSHALL SALLY FORTH FRANCESCO MARCIULIANO & JIM KEEFE
5, A Q 10 9 5 3 2, J 3, he will
have 12 tricks. If you want to
gamble, bid 4NT, Blackwood,
and try seven diamonds if
partner has an ace. If he has
the hand above, he might set
up your fifth club for the 13th
trick. But speculative grand
slams are a bad bet.

major changes will take place
this year. Keep your eyes open
for new opportunities.

HEART OF THE CITY STEENZ JUDGE PARKER FRANCESCO MARCIULIANO & MIKE MANLEY Moon Alert: Avoid shopping

in Libra.

(MARCH 21-APRIL 19).
Enjoy today! Do what you
please. With your strong
focus on home and family,

time for children’s activities.
Meanwhile, social outings and
sports events are appealing!
TAURUS
(APRIL 20-MAY 20).
FRAZZ JEF MALLETT CANDORVILLE DARRIN BELL You might have an ambitious
to-do list, because fiery Mars

You’re talking to siblings,
relatives and neighbors;
reading and writing; plus some
of you are taking a short trip.
GEMINI
(MAY 21-JUNE 20).
This is a lovely day to
schmooze and enjoy the

GARFIELD JIM DAVIS BARNEY AND CLYDE WEINGARTENS & CLARK is such a blessing.
CANCER
(JUNE 21-JULY 22).
Although you have strong
energy to do what you want
today (including shopping and
doing financial negotiations),
you’ll love a chance to retire
and hide at home with good
food and comfy surroundings.
LEO
(JULY 23-AUG. 22).
Enjoy schmoozing with others
today, because the Moon
is sitting in your House of

DUSTIN FLASH GORDON you have a strong desire to
talk to others and share your
ideas. You want a meaningful
connection with someone.
VIRGO
(AUG. 23-SEPT. 22).
Keep things relatively laid-back
today, because it’s easy to
try to do more than you really
can accomplish. Don’t push
the river. Nevertheless, you
are focused on shopping and
earning money, no question.
LIBRA
(SEPT. 23-OCT. 22).
PRICKLY CITY SCOTT STANTIS LOOSE PARTS DAVE BLAZEK Things will go your way today,
because the Moon is in your

key streak-snapping win

BY A NDREW G OLDEN

MIlWAUKEE — Jesse Winker rel-

ished every second of his fifth-in-

ily Field — the place he had called
home a season earlier. He stood at
the plate as his towering 403-foot
shot carried over the visiting bull-
pen and into the first rows of seats
in right field. He trotted leisurely
around the bases as the boos car-
ried through the park. And when
he finally touched home, he
pointed to the sky before taking a
long look at the crowd behind
