Jean Drive Structure Fire

BY NATALIE GENTRY Montana Marsh, 22, graduated from Springtown High School in 2010. That fall he left for Annapolis, Maryland to attend the United States Naval Academy. This May, he will graduate with honors with a Bachelor of Science and earn his commission as an officer in the United States Navy. Then he will head to flight school in Pensacola, Florida. But last weekend he was back in Springtown to spend some time with his family – and lead a company of midshipmen on the gridiron prior to the 11th Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl on Dec. 30 where Navy beat the Middle Tennessee University Blue Raiders 24-6. There are usually 30 companies that march in Navy home games. However, because this was a bowl game and not all midshipmen were present; only eight companies marched on. There were approximately 600 midshipmen present. Marsh was the commander of the Eighth Company at the game. Each commander was introduced by name and hometown as the companies were led onto the field just before kickoff. Earlier in the day the midshipman and their guests participated in one of the world’s largest tailgate parties. PLEASE SEE GRAD, PAGE 3A.

Sales tax drop explained by city BY NATALIE GENTRY December’s sales tax report left many people in Springtown wondering what happened to cause the city’s revenue to drop 41.86 percent. City Administrator Mark Krey explained this fl uctuation isn’t an indication of declining business in Springtown. “The drop in sales tax is directly attributable to the unusually high amount we received in December 2012,” Krey said. The abnormality, Krey said, was caused by a single local company that pays its taxes on a sporadic basis. “That amount was so high last year that it set off warnings at the Comptroller’s office and they researched the issue for us.” Krey said. In addition, the higher numbers for October and November of 2012 were the result of oil and gas well work in the area that has since been completed. The city receives its sales tax revenue from the Texas Comptroller’s Offi ce each month for sales that occurred within the city limits two months earlier. In other words, the city’s December check represents taxes paid at local businesses during the month of October. Although the city’s total revenue for 2013 fell 9.03 percent from $986.034 to $896,910, Krey explained that the numbers on the overall sales tax receipts from last year indicate the amounts received thus far in fi scal year 2013-2014 are consistent with Springtown’s monthly average of approximately $74,500.

Change of epicenter? USGS reports most quakes centered in area between Reno, Briar

Map of earthquake epicenters since seismographs were installed in the Azle area.

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Since Nov. 5 staffers at the Epigraph have painstakingly plotted earthquake locations on a map. That’s kept us busy. The chart marks the epicenters of close to 30 earthquakes in the area, the fi rst of which occurred at 9:32.p.m. that fateful Nov. 5 night. It was a Tuesday – press day – and the staff had stayed very late awaiting election returns. No sooner had that week’s newspaper been “put to bed” than the news went all a-Twitter, so to speak.

(USGS) to Azle Mayor Alan Brundrett and the City of Azle, it’s likely that most of the epicenter locations are actually confined to a limited area approximately midway between Reno and Briar. In his report, Ellsworth explains that prior to Dec. 15, the earthquake epicenters were “uncertain by five miles or more” due to the large distances between seismographs stations in this Clustered quakes According to a formal yet prelimi- part of the country and the long disnary report provided by Dr. William L. tance from Azle to the nearest instruEllsworth of the Earthquake Science ments.

Now it looks like that map, which has appeared weekly in the Epigraph, may not be very accurate despite the care with which it was prepared.

USGS reports most quakes centered in area between Reno, Briar n USGS, FROM PAGE ONE.

The closest station used by the USGS National Earthquake Information Center (NEIC) in Golden, Colorado prior to Dec. 15 was more than 60 miles to the south, with the next closest station 125 miles to the west, Ellsworth told city officials. “Fortunately, many of the residents of Azle and surrounding communities provided the USGS with information on the shaking they felt during many of the November 2013 earthquakes through our ‘Did You Feel It?’ website at http://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/ dyfi/,” Ellsworth continued. Ellsworth shipped five “Net-

Quakes” seismographs from Menlo Park, California where he is based, to colleagues at Southern Methodist University’s Roy M. Heffington Department of Earth Sciences. Those seismographs were successfully installed soon after road conditions became safe after the ice storm that occurred in the area beginning Dec. 5, and became fully functional Dec. 15, Ellsworth’s report says. Ellsworth says he has examined data from the earthquakes that occurred prior to the installation of the seismographs along with information from two 3.3 magnitude tremors that occurred Dec. 22 and 23.

After calibrating measurements and studying waveforms and shaking patterns, Ellsworth has reached a preliminary opinion about the Azle area quakes. “The epicenters of these earthquakes are no longer scattered over an area many miles in dimension, but now cluster in the same zone as the more recent earthquakes located using the local NetQuake stations,” Ellsworth said. “Visual examination of the seismograms for other November-December earthquakes strongly suggests that all of them will be found to have occurred in this same small area.” Ellsworth says he believes it’s also safe to conclude that

This map indicates the epicenters of the seismic activity prior to the new USGS data.

most of the earthquakes are located in the shallow crystalline basement below the sediments. But, again, this report is preliminary in nature. Surrounding the quakes Researchers from SMU are relocating several of the NetQuakes instruments to better surround the source region of the earthquakes. “It would be reasonable to expect that the epicenters determined to date could move a small amount, perhaps a mile, as a result of improving the seismic network geometry and application of a more accurate crustal velocity model,” Ellsworth concluded in his report to city officials. “I believe, however, that it is very unlikely that the overall picture will change significantly, and that we can be confident the earthquakes recently occurring in the vicinity of the city of Azle are originating from a small region roughly midway between Reno and Briar, and that they are located in the shallow crystalline basement.” If you would like to read Ellsworth’s report in its entirety, follow this link: http:// azlenews.net/news/seismic-activity-letter/. So, those who have laid claim to one or more earth-shaking events – “the one on my street” or “that 3.6 in my backyard” – may have to turn loose of their ownership of the quakes. Unless, of course, you live along FM 730 North and/or Cardinal Road, say, north of Peden Road and south of FM 2257 (Knob Hill Road).

NEWS DIGEST Test online signup deadline Jan. 10 Springtown High School will be a test site for Texas Assessment of Knowledge and Skills Out-Of-School exit level testing March 3-6, 2014.

world’s largest tailgate parties. This is a bowl game after all. The tailgate party took place under a circus-sized tent at the Amon Carter Stadium in Fort Worth. The adventurous life Marsh received his appointment to attend the Academy from Senator John Cornyn. There are 4,400 midshipmen who attend the Naval Academy, and although Marsh is an English major, the Naval Academy requires all midshipmen to take four years of science and math.

Marsh’s senior year coursework included thermo-dynamics, calculus four, and naval leadership. During his time at the Naval Academy, Marsh has traveled to Spain as part of the study abroad program and to San Diego’s Naval Air Base. He has served on the amphibious assault ship USS Iwo Jima and the nuclear submarine USS Albuquerque. The summer of 2011 saw him sailing on a 55-foot sailboat from Annapolis, Maryland to Rockport, Massachusetts –

right up the New York Harbor. In addition to his traveling, Marsh participated in the Naval Academy’s High Power Rifle Team and served as team captain his junior year. His squad won first place at the Atlantic Fleet Rifle Championship. It’s a small world Then on Dec. 14, Marsh was able to reconnect with fellow SHS graduate, Matthew Rowe, at the 114th Annual Army versus Navy game in Philadelphia where the Navy Midshipmen beat the Army

Black Knights 34-7. Both Springtown grads received appointments to military academies – Rowe attends West Point. What lies ahead Next fall Marsh will begin two years of training and education to become a Naval Aviator in Pensacola, Florida. Once he graduates flight school, the Navy will assess its needs and decide if he will pilot fixed wing or rotary wing aircraft. Either way, a Porcupine will have earned his wings.

Medications Used for Seasonal Depression Seasonal depression, also known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD), is a depression that occurs during certain times of the year. It is most commonly associated with the beginning of fall and lasting during winter months (“winter blues”), but may occur in the spring and summer seasons as well. Symptoms include a lack of energy, feeling drowsy during the day, increased sleeping, anxiety, lost of interest in usual activities, cravings for sweets or carbohydrate-rich foods, and weight gain. The exact cause of seasonal depression is unknown, but can be contributed to an imbalance of certain chemicals in the brain. A lack of sunlight, which can disrupt the body’s internal clock, is a possible cause, hence light therapy is a treatment often used for SAD. A variety of antidepressants can be prescribed to also help treat SAD. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem), sertraline (Zoloft), and paroxetine (Paxil) help to balance serotonin, a chemical in the brain than can affect mood. Medications such as venlafaxine (Effexor) and duloxetine (Cymbalta) alter both the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine, another chemical in the brain that can affect how someone feels. Bupropion (Wellbutrin XL) can also be prescribed for individuals who have a history of SAD.

SPORTS

These were the Top 10 sports stories of 2013 by mark k. campbell Springtown sports had plenty of highs and lows in 2013. Choosing the top 10 was tricky, so here are some honorable mentions: • Lady Porcupine standout Kendal Davis signed a D-I scholarship to play volleyball for Arkansas State University • Bill Reed, a longtime coach then stadium director for SISD, resigned to become athletic director at Bryson • weather was crazy during some sports – including a frigid POJO Relays in March and a scorching 7-on-7 football tournament in July then a bonechilling Area football game in November • five tennis players advanced to regional in April However, these were the top 10 sports stories of 2013:

offs for the first time since 2006 then won a seeding game against Mineral Wells before the postseason began. In bi-district, Graham was the foe. The Steers beat SHS 64-53 in Jacksboro. The game stood 49-47, Graham, halfway through the final frame. But the Steers began making free throws and pulled away. Despite the loss, the season was the best for Springtown’s boys in years; coach James Rike’s squad won 21 games. The Lady Porcupine softball squad defeated Castleberry in a “play-in for the playoffs,” 9-1. That sent Springtown to Mineral Wells to face Iowa Park April 26. SHS gave the No. 17 in 3A Lady Hawks all they wanted early on. The Lady Porcupines tied the game at 1-1 with a run in the top of the sixth. That came when Kelsey Hinson – who had been struck by a line drive earlier while playing third base – drew a walk to force in Kaitlyn Hill. Iowa Park won the game thanks to a couple of late miscues by SHS; however, the softball team had returned to the playoffs. In the fall, volleyball coach Leighann Strickland fielded another impressive squad, one that rose to No. 7 in 3A in the state. SHS raced through district play, not only going undefeated in 6-3A match action but losing just one game. Victories in the postseason followed: Wichita Falls Hirschi was swept in bi-district then, in the Area round, Glen Rose, ranked No. 11, was dashed, 3-1, in Brock. Next, Iowa Park was dispatched in a 3-0 trouncing. That sent Springtown back to the regional tournament, just like the previous season. This time, the year again ended in Snyder. Big Spring, the eventual Region I champ, overcame SHS’ 2-0 early lead. Strickland was sure her Lady Porcupines were superior: “We were the better team and I truly believe that we should have won without a doubt.” SHS finished with whopping 33 victories. The Porcupine football team won bi-district in November. At Memorial Stadium in Wichita Falls – SHS coach Brad Turner lost a home/home flip – Springtown rallied from a 6-0 first quarter deficit to crush the Huskies, 49-27. The win was SHS’ first in the playoffs since 2005. Playing for “the gold ball,” the Porcupines ran for 313 yards, including 197 by Ryan Snow and 91 more by QB Landry Turner. Springtown trailed at halftime 16-13 but dashed the hosts by out-scoring Hirschi 35-8 in the second half. SHS finished with more than 500 yards of total offense. The season ended the next week on a freezing cold gridiron at Northwest ISD Stadium against Stephenville. But the win capped a 2013 where several sports teams continued play after the regular season ended.

o I have your attention? Now if I could only figure out how to get you to send me ONLY $19.99 for this amazing secret, I could keep my resolution of becoming independently wealthy. Most New Year’s resolutions are broken by January 6. Are we really that bad? Lazy? Incompetent? Weak? I think it is more an issue of focus. It is not that we cannot focus, but that we focus on the wrong things. So what I am offering here are two focus-shifters and four strategies that I am absolutely convinced will bring us positive results in 2014. 1. Instead of focusing on the “what” or even the “how,” focus on the “why.” Focusing on the “what” would be something like, “I am going to lose weight.” Focusing on the “how” might be, “I am going to limit my calorie in-

take to 2000 per day and exercise for 30 minutes at least 3 days a week.” Those are great “how’s” to support the “what.” But why? Here’s where we stumble. Focusing on the “why” could be, “I am going to develop a healthier lifestyle so that I can be more healthy and effective in everything LIFE MATTERS I do.” 2. Instead of focusing on Gerry Lewis personal benefits, focus on benefits to others. That good “why” of being more healthy and effective becomes a great “why”

when I am more healthy and effective so that I can be a greater blessing to my family and my world. Jesus said the greatest commandment is to love God completely and the second is to love others. (Matthew 22:37-40). He even commanded us to love others like He loves. (John 15:12) So, now that our focus is adjusted, we need some strategies. 1. Accountability: Enlist a trusted partner to be your “alarm clock” for your “what, how, and why.” It works even better if the accountability is mutual, encouraging each other. 2. Deadlines: Always keeping your “why” at the forefront, develop some short-term markers along the way. “By March 1, I will have lost 8 pounds… or paid off $500 in debt…or written 3 chapters of my book.” The best thing that ever happened to my writing was having a weekly deadline for the newspaper.

Slavery in early Texas, Part I:

ester G. Bugbee wrote in The Political Science Quarterly, Vol. III, No. 3, 1898, about the history of slavery in Texas. Our story begins in the year 1821, “when Moses Austin received permission to plant an Anglo-American colony on the banks of the Colorado and the Brazos. There may have been a few Negroes in the little towns of Bexar and La Bahia at that time, but the number must have been insignificant and limited wholly to personal servants in the families of the wellto-do. “The coming of the energetic pioneers from the United States and the development of the rich bottom lands of Texas marked the beginning of a new era, not only in the history of Mexico, but in that of America; and the question of slavery in this wilderness, at that time seemingly of interest only to a few thousand farmers, was soon to engage the attention and determine the policy of the great

neighboring nation. “Under the Spanish rule in Mexico Negro slavery was tolerated and protected. The conditions, however, were so unfavorable that the institution never obtained a secure foothold, and was almost unknown outside of Vera Cruz and the hot lands. “Even in the most favorable localities and after the introduction of cane growing, the slaves formed no considerable element in the population of the country. As late as 1793, according to Humboldt, there were not more than nine or ten thousand in all New Spain.” [In a total population of 3,005, December 31, 1792, there were 34 Negroes and 415 mulattoes; no mention is made of slaves. Census of Texas, Texas Archives, No. 345] “H. G. Ward, the British agent in Mexico in 1825-27, believed that the number did not exceed six thousand in 1793, and that it continued to decrease till 1827. So many were manumitted, and so many received their freedom during the long struggle for

independence by joining the ranks of the patriot army, that Ward thought he was justified in stating that there is now hardly a single slave in the central portion the repubHISTORICAL of lic.

Migrating Southerners bring institution with them

permission to settle an Anglo-American colony in Texas was officially granted in January, 1821. No mention was made of slavery in either the petition or the grant. It was the intention of Austin, however, to draw most of his colonists from the southern United States; and there can be but little doubt that he would have favored the removal of slaves to Texas as part of the capital of his planters. “But it was not for him to lead the migration for which he had prepared the way. The long journey to San Antonio de Bexar, with its hardships and exposure, resulted in his death, and the work of carrying forward the colonization of Texas fell to his son. “Stephen Fuller Austin, then a young man of twenty-eight, at once made an exploring tour through Texas, was recognized as heir to his father's grant, and received the governor's approval of the plan which he had drawn up for the distribution of lands. “This plan, after making provision for the head of the family and allow-

Consider it a brief layover on the journey. 4. Prayer: Never underestimate the value of your most powerful accountability partner. Some of the most important “why’s” are too hard to keep in focus when life happens.

ing a liberal portion for the wife and each child, further provided for a grant of eighty acres of land for each slave belonging to the family. “In approving this plan, the government of Mexico, through its representative in Texas, acquiesced in and substantially encouraged the introduction of slaves into the new settlement. “A great many immigrants found their way into Texas before the summer of 1822, most of them bearing contracts signed by Austin or his agents, in which they were promised land in accordance with the plan already mentioned. “They were nearly all from the southern portion of the United States, and many of them were the owners of at least a small number of slaves. Thus it was that the institution was introduced into Texas.”

Dewhurst, who presides over the Senate, ordered the panel of nine senators to study what is being done by the state to enhance the health of Texas women. He also called on the committee to assess the effectiveness of programs designed to improve mental health for all Texans. The committee will monitor all state-provided women’s health programs, access to preventative services, efforts to reduce unplanned pregnancies and the maximizing of efficiencies, Dewhurst said. Also, the lieutenant governor said, the committee will monitor programs designed to improve mental health and substance abuse services, assess their outcomes and address any

gaps in the system. Perry takes various actions Gov. Rick Perry on Dec. 20 renewed for another month the current drought disaster proclamation for 114 of Texas’ 254 counties. Perry originally issued the proclamation on July 5, 2011. Meanwhile, also on Dec. 20, the federal government approved Perry’s Dec. 13 request for disaster assistance to three central Texas counties — Travis, Hays and Caldwell — for damages attributed to severe flooding that occurred when hard rains hit the region at the end of October through midNovember. In addition to the approval, the U.S. Small Business Administration granted Perry’s request for additional assistance that will allow homeowners, renters and businesses in 11 central Texas counties to apply for long-term, low-interest disaster loans, the governor’s office reported. In other news, on Dec. 19, the

governor posted notice of clemency he granted to 12 individuals “after each case was favorably recommended for clemency by the Texas Board of Pardons and Pa-

roles.” And, on Dec. 24, Gov. and Mrs. Perry publicized their wishes for “a happy and blessed Christmas to everyone in Texas, and to Texans all around the world.” More laws take effect While most new laws are written to take effect either as soon as the governor signs them or on Sept. 1, some 47 pieces of

legislation passed by the Texas Legislature were written to take effect as new laws on Jan. 1, 2014. Here are five of them: • House Bill 294 by Rep. Eddie Rodriguez, D-Austin, and sponsored by Sen. Kirk Watson, D-Austin: An exemption from ad valorem taxation of certain property owned by a charitable organization and used in providing housing and related services to certain homeless individuals. • House Bill 1349 by Rep. Lyle Larson, R-San Antonio, and sponsored by Sen. Donna Campbell, R-New Braunfels: Stipulating that the Department of Public Safety is not required to request, and an applicant would not be required to provide, the applicant’s social security number as part of an application for a concealed handgun license. • House Bill 1772 by Rep.

TxDOT chief moves to LCRA Texas Department of Transportation announced its executive director, Phil Wilson, is leaving the agency to join the Lower Colorado River Authority, a public utility company founded in 1934 that serves all or part of 61 counties. Wilson, who was appointed by the governor to head TxDOT in Oct. 2011, is to start as general manager and chief executive officer of the LCRA on Feb. 1. Before joining TxDOT, Wilson was a senior vice president of public affairs and a corporate officer of Luminant, a large power company based in Dallas. Before that, Wilson served as Texas secretary of state from July 2007 to July 2008.

written notice of disconnection to each tenant or owner at a “nonsubmetered, master metered multifamily property” prior to disconnection of electric or gas service. • House Bill 1847 by Rep. Stefani Carter, R-Dallas, and sponsored by Sen. Joan Huffman, R-Houston: Requiring prosecuting attorneys to complete one hour of ethics training relating to a duty to disclose certain information in a criminal case within 180 days of assuming duties. Additional related training thereafter would be based upon rules promulgated by the court of criminal appeals. - Senate Bill 945 by Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Lewisville, and sponsored by Rep. Sarah Davis, R-Houston: Requiring a health care provider in a hospital to wear a photo identification badge clearly stating the provider’s name, department, and title.

Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

Where was the worst weather of 2013? The state that suffered through the most extreme weather in 2013 was New Mexico, according to wunderground.com. By June, 45 percent of the state was in “extreme drought” the worst in America. Elephant Butte Reservoir shrunk to 3

percent capacity. Then rain arrived – too much. In the sixth wettest monsoon season ever, an earthen dam ruptured in Las Vegas, New Mexico and later runoff caused the evacuation of two cities. Elephant Butte Reservoir rose five feet.

Movie Man

Thursday, January 2, 2014

Clash of the Titans: Poppins vs. Mickey Mouse Before we get to the fi nal offi cial review of 2013, let’s look back on the Best and Worst of the Year. Year in review Overall, ‘13 wasn’t a bad year for movies. Perhaps there were no classics, but the Movie Man awarded just one ‘3’ – very rare. Best of the Year: 10. Hunger Games: Catching Fire (7). It lacked the near-perfection novel adaptation of the first one, but it was still solid. 9. Frozen (7). Once it got going, it got good. 8. Warm Bodies (7). Lots of fun and a different take on the zombie bit. 7. The Heat (7). The funniest movie of the year. 6. Prisoners (8). The Movie Man normally hates revenge movies, but this one was super. 5. Oblivion (8). The Movie Man liked this fi lm more than almost anyone else. The isolation feel and look won him over. 4. Captain Phillips (8). Great moviemaking and a wonder all the way through. 3. The Croods (8). Funny and got better as it went along, too. 2. Despicable Me 2 (8). Really funny and with amazing 3-D. 1. Gravity (9). It was no contest for Best of Year this time around. This movie in 3-D was incredible. Honorable mention (all 7’s): Dark Skies; Oz, the Great and Powerful; Now You See Me; The Butler; Saving Mr. Banks. Worst of Year: 5. Bad Grandpa (5). Gave away most of its laughs in the trailer. 4. RED 2 (5). Far inferior to the original (2010, Movie Man No. 899, 7). 3. Evil Dead (4). An unnecessary remake of a classic that brought nothing new. 2. GI Joe: Retaliation (4). Proved why it was delayed so often – it stunk. 1. A Good Day to Die Hard (3). It’s a coincidence that

Bruce Willis is in three of the worst of the year, but those other two (RED 2 and G.I. Joe) were not nearly this bad. Movies that were better than expected: The Heat; The Family (7); Escape Plan (7) Movies that were worse than expected: The Great Gatsby (5); Pacific Rim (6) Biggest bummer: Monsters University (5) Movie the Movie Man can barely remember seeing: Pain and Gain (5). Best scenes: The thing in the little boys’ room in Dark Skies; the cruel heckling scene in 42 (7); showing how the trick was done in Now You See Me(7); the tornado scene in Man of Steel (7); the karaoke in The Heat; the stinger (post credits scene) in The Wolverine (6); Loki turning into Captain America in Thor: The Dark World (6); Tom Hanks in the sick bay late in Captain Phillips; and the fi rst 17 minutes (and most of them after that) of Gravity. The plot Walt Disney (Hanks) wants to fulfi ll a 20-year-old promise to his daughters and make a movie out of P.L. Travers’ book Mary Poppins. But the author (Emma Thompson) puts seemingly impossible demands on every fac-

Saving Mr. Banks Walt’s no Dumbo Starring: Emma Thompson, Tom Hanks, Colin Ferrell Directed by: John Lee Hancock Rated PG: rare mild language, messed up/alcoholic father

In fl ashbacks, Colin Ferrell is great as the alcoholic dad as is Annie Rose Buckley who plays his angelic daughter; Hancock wisely shows her in close-ups whenever he can.

Even with all the fl ashbacks and frequent interactions between Ferrell and daughter Buckley, it’s still not a 100 percent sell as to why Travers/Thompson is so insistent on keeping total control of her work.

Mesothelioma may occur 30 to 50 years after exposure to asbestos. Many workers were exposed from the 1940s through the 1970s. Industrial and construction workers, along with their families (second hand exposure) are among those at risk for mesothelioma, lung cancer or gastro cancer (throat, stomach, colon).
