Widening of Walnut Creek The city will continue working to widen Walnut Creek near the intersection of State Highway 199 and FM 51. With the 30 percent complete plans due at the end of February, the city hopes to begin this project by late spring or early summer.

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Local residents gave a political panel earfuls when an earthquake Town Hall was conducted by the Texas Railroad Commission Jan. 2 at Azle High School. Jim Lasater was the fi rst citizen to speak at the jam-packed meeting hosted by Railroad Commissioner David Porter. He told Porter and the assembled panel on stage how a spate of earthquakes has affected their lives that he’d “just as soon the earthquakes somehow stop, if that’s possible.” Strangely, it’s almost as if the Commission has granted Lasater’s wish. So far, 25-plus earthquakes have occurred in the Azle/Reno/Springtown area since Nov. 5, 2013, with the latest two – both registering magnitudes of

Another Town Hall, with ‘answers’ Another Town Hall meeting – this one put on by Earthworks’ Oil & Gas Accountability Project, North Central Texas Communities Alliance and Calvin Tillman, former mayor of Dish, Texas – will be held Monday, Jan. 13 at 6:30 p.m. at the Azle Community Center located at 404 West Main Street. According to Sharon Wilson with Earthworks, this meeting will inform residents about how to force regulators to do their jobs and protect property and communities. Wilson said she was disappointed that while Azle residents are at risk and their children practice earthquake drills, regulators ducked questions at a recent Town Hall meeting. The public is invited and encouraged to attend this Town Hall meeting. Contact Sharon Wilson for additional information at swilson@earthworksaction.org.

Geren explained that the Commission is currently working with the state geologist as well as a geologist who studies earthquakes at the University of Texas. “Phil (King) and I have worked together, along with Representative Burnam, Commissioner Johnson and the Mayor, to express our concerns to Railroad Commission and get them involved, as they are the agency that oversees the oil and gas industry in Texas, to have them look into these seismic events and make recommendations as to what we need to do,” Geren said. “I want to thank the Commission for showing some concern and getting to the area as quickly as it did.” But it was Riley who garnered the most approval from those in the audience. “I want to say to the residents who are here that every elected official who is here – and those who are not – stand with you and support you the best we can as we continue to look for answers and possible options the Railroad Commission will have for resolving this issue,” Riley said. “Commissioner Porter, the message I bring from my constituents is, as you move forward and do your studies, if we could begin to get timelines – because we all know how that works in our world and that agencies have a lot of things to do – as to when we’ll see some answers and some reports, and the public knows when that’s coming, I believe that’ll help relieve some of their frustrations and fears.”

The seismologist’s duties will include a slew of responsibilities like: coordinating with other academic experts studying seismic events in Texas; obtain, study and interpret various forms of data to evaluate seismic activity associated with known faults and historic and/or ongoing oil and gas exploration and production activities; leading efforts to conduct research as well as internally integrate oil and gas science with seismic science; coordinating communications and information gathering with stakeholders; reviewing, analyzing, interpreting and commenting on technical data from seismic data sources, computer models and digital maps; and developing recommendations and action plans.

Double line damage creates boil water notice By Natalie geNtry Happy (dry) New Year! Many residences and businesses in Springtown found themselves without water Jan. 2 when the city experienced a joint failure in a portion of the water delivery system. Mark Krey, city administrator, explained that the line failed at 4 a.m.,, but it wasn’t until 7:30 that city personnel discovered the break in a 90-degree elbow on a 10-inch delivery line located at the in-

tersection of Sage Trail and Westover. It took about an hour for the line location service to respond and mark where other utility lines were located. Although city crews turned off 13 valves in various parts of town to control the water flow, it still took over two hours to pump the water out of the hole dug to complete the repair. The fact that the repair was at a 90-degree turn in the line meant it was encased in con-

crete which had to be jackhammered off, adding to the repair time. Krey said the initial repair was completed about 5 p.m. However, while the pressure was being restored to the line, the other end of the angled section broke loose and the crew had to begin again. “The city utilized the Walnut Krey said. Creek Special Utility District While portions of the city to assist with the water supply, had no water at all others had but it still wasn’t enough to ful- extremely low pressure. ly supply the city with water,” Final repairs were completed

around 7:30 p.m. and pressure increased enough for semi-normal operations between 9-10 p.m. that evening. Water samples were collect-

ed Friday, Jan. 3 and submitted to the lab. “The results came back Saturday afternoon and the boil water notice was lifted,” Krey said.

January is School Board Appreciation Month By mark k. CampBell At the weekly Springtown Optimist Club meeting, SISD board member Amy Walker spoke about her reasons for serving. A member since 2004 and the current board president, Walker said working for SISD is all about the children. “I have a passion for children and it’s my belief that we need to educate the next generation,” she said. While calling her position “an honor and a privilege,” Walker added that “it’s sometimes a challenge.” Balancing the “strong beliefs” of others and state edicts with what is determined to be correct to be taught in the ISD requires some balance. “But the rewards are great,” Walker said. “It’s a unique experience,” she noted. “Our work influences the lives of children.” Walker said another part of her job that gives her pride is Springtown’s facilities. “I love seeing them,” she said. The key to success, she said, is to “keep children first. It takes time and energy and a willingness to listen. It’s much like being a parent for 3,000 kids.” On Jan. 23, Walker and six other board members – vice-pres-

amy Walker, school board president, told Optimist Club members Jan. 7 why she is happy to serve in that position. Photo by Mark K. Campbell ident Larry Don Carter, secretary Jody Lowery, Al Garrett, Jay Grubis, Keith Springfield, and Mike Ray – will be joined by superintendent Mike Kelley; the group will be lauded at the administration building at 301 East 5th Street. A reception is set for 6:30 p.m. before the regular meeting starts at 7.

Arctic Chill

By Natalie geNtry The City of Reno issued a boil water notice to citizens Friday, Jan. 3 after a six-inch break was found in the waterline on West Reno Road. The pipe was broken in two locations and required city workers to dig up an approximately 20-feet stretch to access and cut out the bad sections. All in all, about 15 feet of pipe was removed and replaced. The repair took about five hours due to the loose sand surrounding the water line. “The citizens were wonderful that night,” said Scott Passmore, director of public works. “They brought us coffee several times, and it was cold in that

water repairing the line.” Reno lost around 40,000 gallons in the water system. After repairs were complete, the waterlines were flushed to be sure there was no contamination in the system. Next, the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) was made aware of the break and a boil notice was issued to the citizens through the mail and the web site. Samples of the water were taken to Tarrant County Public Health (TCPH) for testing on Monday, Jan. 6 and returned Tuesday. The results showed that the water was not contaminated and the boil notice for Reno was canceled.

Protect Yourself from Rabies Although any infected animal can transmit rabies, the most common occur from contact with cats, cows, dogs, skunks, raccoons, and bats. The virus is most commonly transmitted through the bite of an infected animal. The virus then spreads to the brain and spinal cord via the nerves. After a period of time, the virus then enters the saliva in the mouth and the person or animal begins to show signs of rabies or become “rabid”. Symptoms typically include hallucinations, fever, confusion, difficulty swallowing, excessive salivation, and fear of water. People who work closely with wild animals such as veterinarians, wildlife workers, and researchers in caves are at a higher risk of getting rabies. Those at highest risk are encouraged to be vaccinated routinely to keep the body protected. In the event that a suspected rabies encounter occurs, immediate treatment is encouraged and includes two different shots. The first shot is rabies immune globulin. It attacks any rabies virus present in the body. This shot is usually given near the area where the bite or handling occurred. Rabies vaccine is then administered usually as five separate shots over a period of about one month. The two FDA-approved rabies vaccines available are Imovax (Sanofi Pasteur) and RabAvert (Novartis Vaccines& Diagnostics).

OPINION Thursday, January 9, 2014 www.springtown-epigraph.net

So, this is the best #@%&! music of 2013?!

lancing over at the endcap on an aisle at a Target, the shelf was filled with albums (yes, Grandpa still calls them albums) from 2013 Grammy nominees. Printed on the front of every CD: “Parental Advisory Explicit Lyrics.” The warning label has been around for decades now, fueled by Prince’s 1984 Purple Rain; Tipper Gore wasn’t crazy about the racy songs on that record when she bought it for her 12-year-old daughter and that kicked off the federal proceedings that resulted in the sticker. (I had a Tipper experience when I bought my 14-year-old daughter an LP by the Presidents of the United States because she liked the song

“Peaches” – the record version was shockingly vulgar. We tossed the CD.) Today, most artists want that sticker on there since adolescents like nothing better than freaking out their parents and listening to raunchy lyrics fits that bill perfectly. In 1985 at those Congressional hearings, artists as diverse as John Denver and Frank Zappa (I bought a t-shirt emblazoned with his wild mane in 1975; his Apostrophe is one of the great albums) argued for free speech. The sticker – originally affixed to just the external cellophane – began showing up on albums like Guns N Roses’ Appetite for Destruction and 2 Live Crew’s As Nasty As They Wanna Be in the late 80’s. Today, they’re everywhere. But those days weren’t the only time ques-

tionable material showed up in modern music. Older music fans are quite familiar with the “Fish cheer” at Woodstock, led by CounJoe and ON YOUR try the Fish which MARK spelled out the Mark K. Campbell f-bomb. Cuss words are found in some classic rock tunes, ranging from using the Lord’s name in vain – “Cinderella” by Firefall and the Eagles’ “Life in the Fast Lane” – to scatologi-

cal – “Money” on Pink Floyd’s Dark Side of the Moon and – to f-bombs even appearing in song titles (2010’s “**** You” by Cee-Lo Green; the clean radio version was a big hit). Back in my youth, the cover of record albums were seriously studied and many would be unlikely to be displayed today. John Lennon and Yoko Ono posed fully nude for 1968’s Unfinished Music No. 1: Two Virgins. Unclad underage children are on the front of Blind Faith’s 1969 eponymous LP and Led Zeppelin’s Houses of the Holy (1973). Santana’s 1970 Abraxas (with the hits “Black Magic Woman” and “Oye Como Va”) has naked women on its dizzying, psychedelic cover. Naturally, we’re back at the age-old question of what is art? For decades,

most controversial covers and lyrics were usually covered up/reshot or changed/censored. So, back to the Target endcap. While three of the five Album of the Year nominees have no explicit warning sticker – a surprise – every record on the shelf, up for honors in different categories, did. Certainly language has clout and I’d never advocate for censorship. However, being unnecessarily vulgar or crude – anywhere – just seems lazy. The argument that “that’s how this generation is” has falsely echoed through decades and decades. Cuss and be crude if you like, hipsters and rappers. Pocketbook voting works here. I bought nothing at Target. Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and is sure everything is Elvis’ fault.

Bugbee wrote in The Political Science Quarterly, Vol. III, No. 3, 1898, about the history of slavery in Texas. “Difficulties arose, for some reason the governor of Texas declined to put the settlers in possession of the promised lands, and Austin felt that the situation demanded his presence in the City of Mexico, where Congress was in session. Apparently it is not generally understood how momentous were the consequences of that journey. “He remained in Mexico for more than a year; he made himself familiar with the language and the life of the people; he became intimate with many of the leaders of the Mexican nation; and he inspired the government with a confidence in his character and purpose that greatly facilitated the growth of the infant settlement in the wilderness of Texas. Austin arrived at the Mexican capital in April, 1822, a little

more than a year after the proclamation of the Plan of Iguala and about two months after the assembling of the first Congress. “He witnessed in rapid succession the elevation of Iturbide to the imperial throne, the dissolution of Congress, the fall of the Emperor and the establishment of the provisional republican government. All this time he was urging, in memorial after memorial, the confirmation of the grant made to his father by the Spanish government. But his was not the only application before Congress for leave to bring settlers to Mexico and to meet this demand for lands that body very early occupied itself with framing a general colonization law. “The wheels of government, however, move slowly in Mexico, and particularly was this true during that year of exciting change. Austin believed that the law would never have been passed, had he not been present and constantly urging the matter upon

the attention of the lawmakers. The question of slavery presented the greatest obstacle to the passage of the law. “Austin believed that at least tempoHISTORICAL rary toleration slavery was HIGHLIGHTS of necessary to success of Laurie Moseley the his colony. It was the slaveholding population of Missouri, Louisiana, Tennessee, Kentucky, Arkansas, and Mississippi that had shown the greatest interest in his settlement, and it was from the slave states of the American Union that he expected future support in his enterprise.

“On the other hand, the Mexican people were at that time passing through a period of fervent advocacy of liberty. Had they not just been freed from Spain? Should they not extend this great boon, liberty, to all people within the authority of their laws? Then, too, and this was more important than all their theories of liberty and natural equality, it was merely an abstract question with them, for they had few slaves to lose by a general emancipation. “It was the opinion of some members of Congress that slavery should be made the subject of a separate law, in which other phases of the matter, as well as its relation to the colonization of the provinces, could be considered in detail; but it was of the highest importance to the interests of Austin that the matter should be settled at once. “A colonization law, however liberal its terms might be in other respects, would be almost a dead letter so far as

he was concerned until Congress announced its policy as to slavery. Three colonization bills were offered in Congress. One was silent on the subject of slavery except as to cities, declaring that foreigners might be allowed the privilege of founding cities only on the condition of adopting the Spanish language and freeing their slaves. “Another declared outright for immediate emancipation. “But the bill reported by the committee on colonization contained a clause to the effect that slaves introduced into the Empire by colonists should remain so for life, and their children born in the Empire should gain their freedom at the age of fourteen. “During the debate on this subject, no member announced himself as inclined to make any greater concession to slavery.” Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

Attorneys general fire off letter to Sebelius

.S. Health & Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius received a letter dated Jan. 2 from 10 state attorneys general, expressing concern over recent action related to the enforcement of the federal Affordable Care Act. Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott signed the letter along with 10 other state attorneys general who united in claiming the federal Health & Human Services agency has proposed changes “that both compound illegal executive action and fail to protect the privacy of consumers using the health insurance exchanges.” In the fall, President Obama said it would be acceptable for insurance companies to let current heath policies remain in effect for a year, even if those policies do not meet all of the Affordable Care Act’s coverage requirements. But rather than have Health & Human Services accommodate an “administrative fi x” to the act as proposed

by President Obama, the attorneys general suggested, changes instead should come through congressional action. As to the privacy issue, the attorneys general wrote of “the widespread public outcry over the security of consumers’ private information throughout the enrollment process” and said Health & Human Services “needs to implement commonsense safeguards, such as criminal background checks, for all persons with access to sensitive personal information.” Meanwhile, the Texas Department of Insurance scheduled a Jan. 6 hearing on proposed state health care regulations of healthcare navigators, people who assist other individuals through the national health care exchange sign-up process. State Sen. Kirk Watson, DAustin, a few days before the hearing, said, “My problem is with things like fees for navigators, who themselves are prohibited from charging for their services and the arbitrary and

unjustifi ed addition of 40 hours to the existing federal training requirements. The Department STATE needs to emonCAPITAL dstrate that HIGHLIGHTS these prons Ed Sterling varei s i onot designed simply to put navigators out of business.” Meeting deals with quakes Texas Railroad Commission, the state agency that regulates the oil and gas industry, on Jan. 3 hosted a town hall meeting in Azle, a city straddling Tarrant and Parker counties, northwest of Fort Worth. Railroad Commissioner David Porter listened to residents’ concerns over recent seismic activity in the area, which

many believe to be related to gas and oil industry operations that have increased dramatically over the last few years. According to the Railroad Commission, Porter has been in communication with the state geologist in regards to a potential study by the Bureau of Economic Geology and the commission staff “has inspected every disposal well in the impacted area for any violations, none of which have been detected.” But residents expressed suspicions that drilling activities and disposal wells, where waste fl uids have been deposited, somehow might be related to the slippage of geological substrates. Porter said, “The Railroad Commission will continue to diligently enforce its current rules and regulations regarding disposal and injection wells.” Also, in a Jan. 3 statement, the Texas Oil and Gas Association said, “Safe and responsible operations in the oil and gas industry is priority one.

Ladies even up district ledger in River Oaks

by MArK K. CAMPbELL After playing a slew of games leading up to the district hoops openers, the Lady Porcupines split initial 6-3A clashes. Springtown (7-9, 1-1) geared up for district play with two late December contests against a pair of stout Fort Worth schools. On Dec. 27, FW Arlington Heights topped SHS 55-44. Despite the loss, freshman Abbi Hatton carded a doubledouble with 12 points and 10 rebounds. Ashley Mainord led in rebounds with 12 and added 7 points. Brooklyn Dauenhauer and Katelynn Mainord scored 7 apiece while Kendyl Dean added 5 points. On Dec. 30, it was back to Cowtown for a game against Trimble Tech. The Lady Bulldogs posted an 80-44 win. Dauenhauer had SHS’ hot hand, scoring 22 points – 9 coming from 3 three-pointers. K. Mainord scored 10 and Hatton led in rebounds with 10 and netted 5 points. With the New Year came the beginning of district play. Springtown hosted defending 6-3A champion Kennedale. The Lady Porcupines fell 71Lady Porcupine Abbi Hatton battles for position.

Campbell 35, but SHS coach Susan Croft

said the game was much closer than the final score. “We played them to a sixpoint game the second half,” she recalled. “But too many first half turnovers and limited scoring put us too deep in the hole to dig out.” A. Mainord led SHS with 13 rebounds and 4 assists to go with 6 points. Dauenhauer’s 10 points was tops. Hatton scored 4 points and snatched 10 rebounds. Freshman Adrienne Easter and K. Mainord added 4 points apiece. Coach Croft said, “We expect a much better game with them in the second round.” On Jan. 7, the Lady Porcupines traveled to River Oaks to face Castleberry. There, SHS walloped the Lady Lions, 74-24. Three Springtown ladies reached double digits – A. Mainord with 21, Dauenhauer with 19, and Taylor Babcock with 13 points. Jordan Dormeus and K. Mainord scored 9 each. Dauenhauer also dished out a team-high 8 assists to go with 13 steals. Coach Croft said, “We came out strong, scoring 29 points in the first quarter, mostly off steals from the press.” Lake Worth comes to the SHS gym Friday, Jan. 10.

Springtown wrestlers strong in Grapevine At the prestigious Grapevine Duals, Porcupine wrestlers impressed, coach David Brokenshire said. Springtown, finally back to near full strength, faced competition from squads from Houston as well as a pair of Oklaho-

ma schools, Elgin and Norman. “Our boys held their own,” Brokenshire recalled. SHS went 4-5 in the duals competition. However, two losses were by a mere six points or less, Brokenshire said. “The last dual against Rock-

wall came down to the last match,” he said. The Porcupines lost that one, 38-36 to the perennial power. Leading SHS was Kolyn Waldrop. A state-qualifier last season, the senior won every bout in Grapevine, going 9-0.

In four matches, Charlie Emmert was unbeaten as well. Caleb Plumlee went 7-2 in the event. A quartet of Porcupines posted 6-3 records: Phillip Schnieder, Caice Clark, Benji Brokenshire, and Sam Lund.

Also picking victories in the tough event were Justin Lindsey (4-3), Mark Matkovich (44), and Trey Johnson (4-5). Coach Brokensire said, “I was really proud of our boys. They really competed out there with some big schools. It’s

great to have everyone back and getting ready for district. “I promise you, these boys will be heard from at the district tournament January 25.” That event will be conducted at Trophy Club Byron Nelson. Jan. 14 is Senior Night for SHS.

SHS hoops boys ready for 6-3A The Porcupine basketball team has piled up a bevy of non-district clashes – even entering a holiday tournament late to replaced games lost due to the December ice storm. District awaits. Friday, Jan. 10, Springtown (7-12) opens 6-3A play against Lake Worth at home. On Dec. 28, SHS led Poolville comfortably, 25-13 after two periods, but a strong second half by the hosts produced a loss for the Porcupines, 54-49. Eight different SHS athletes scored, led by 16 points from Books Pennington. Meek Dawson scored 7, Kruz Dominguez 6, Caleb Brown Dawson Meek and the Porcupines host Lake Worth Fri- and Zack Burton 5, and Cody day, Jan. 10 in the 6-3A opener. Photo by Mark K.

points each. On Dec. 30, Springtown held on to a nice first half lead – 2919 – and beat Callisburg 52-49. Brown shone with 21 points that included a pair of threepointers. He also tallied eight assists. Meek was the other big scorer; he netted 17 points, grabbed 6 rebounds, and blocked a shot. On Jan. 2, the Porcupines won a thriller over Gainesville in a Sanger tournament. Springtown beat the Leopards 59-57, rallying from a 4946 fourth quarter deficit. Whitesboro toppled SHS 61-42 despite 13 points from Brown and 8 by Whiteman. The Porcupines lost 61-55 in overtime to Melissa next.

Three Springtown hoopsters reached double digits – Brown (19), Dylan Ray (13), and Meek (10). At the end of regulation, the score stood tied at 50. In the tournament finale, the Porcupines tumbled to the hosts, 61-46. A terrible start – SHS trailed Sanger 23-7 after one period – proved too great to overcome. Still, Dominguez scored 12 points and both Ray and Meek added 11; Springtown shot just 9 free throws, however, hitting 6. In the final tune-up for 6-3A play, the Porcupines traveled to Krum and won 55-45. Brown had a huge night, scoring 26 points that included a trio of treys and Ray added

10, going 8-for-8 from the free throw line. Pennington, a freshman, scored 9, Meek 6, and Dominguez 4 points to round out the scoring. In 19 non-district games, Brown leads SHS in scoring with 254 points, a 14.1 average. Meek is next with 213 points, 11.8 points per game. Dominguez had 108 points this season, 6.0 ppg. With 78, Meek paces rebounders, 4.3 per game. He’s followed by Brown, Dominguez, and Pennington. Brown is leads SHS in steals (33) and assists (42) while Meek is tops in blocks (6). SHS faces Lake Worth at 8 p.m., Jan. 10 to open 6-3A.

Subvarsities winning steadily against hardwood opponents While the Springtown High School varsity basketball squads head into district play, so do the boys and girls subvarsities. Victories are piling up for those junior varsity and freshman teams. The boys JV (7-8) got edged by Graham 40-38 on Dec. 20. Raul Medina led the SHS JV in scoring with 10 points. Mateo Herrera added 9 and Ryan Neal scored 8 points. After Christmas, the JV headed to Poolville and tumbled 48-37. Kaleb Chesney earned SHS scoring honors with 10 points. Herrera netted 7 while Medina scored 5. On Dec. 30, Callisburg topped Springtown 46-37 de-

spite out-scoring the visitors 19-16 in the second half. Tristen Brawner’s 11 points was tops. Medina scored 6 while Herrera and Neal netted 5 points each. Next, SHS head to a Sanger tournament Jan. 2-3. Springtown bombed Whitesboro 60-24. Herrera led with 17 points and Hayden Nettleton hit 3 three-pointers en route to 11 points. Medina also scored 11. Then, the young Porcupines beat the hosts 49-45 with three athletes scoring in double digits: Mykeal Cummings and Herrera (12) and Medina (11). In the non-district finale, the SHS JV got edged by Krum 4543. Herrera scored 15 points and

Neal netted 8. The boys 9th (11-2) went 2-1 at a Sanger tourney. Springtown beat Sanger 4632 as Wyatt Rawls paced the frosh with 12 points. Kaleb Chesney hit for 8 points and Tre Steen, Brennan Weaver, and Tre Rutledge got 7 each. Callisburg also fell to the Porcupines, 51-28. Chesney paced the frosh with 15 points. Rawls scored 9, Hunter Fuller 7, and Bryce Smith, Steen, Weaver, and Rutledge 6 points each. The SHS ninth graders lost to the Whitesboro JV 49-43. Weaver (10), Steen (7), and Rutledge (4) led Springtown. The girls JV began 6-3A play 1-1.

District started with a tough 36-35 loss to Kennedale. Harley Williams was tops for SHS with 9 points. Haley Howell added 7, and Ekko Hurst scored 6 points. Next came a 31-22 win over Castleberry. Williams’ 10 led the Lady Porcupines. Kaitlyn Hill and Hurst scored 6 each. Alli and Kati Roglin “stepped up,” coach Missy Castro said. The girls 9th (9-2, 2-0) beat Kennedale 46-23 as Khristen Mote poured in a whopping 27 points. Bailey Willett scored 8 and Gabby Terry 6. At Castleberry, SHS won 5921 as Terry (17) and Mote (16) led scorers. Karrah Cooper got 9.

New Year, new laws By Natalie GeNtry The New Year brought with it an assortment of new laws across Texas – 47 took effect on Jan 1. These laws are among the 600 passed during the legislative session last year. The Senate and the House of Representatives passed laws that addressed issues as varied as service dogs, concealed carry licenses, tanning ages, and mixed drinks. Pour another round House Bill (HB) 3572 cut the overall taxes establishments had to pay to the Texas Alcoholic Beverage Commission from 14 percent to 6.7 percent. However, the new law adds an 8.25 percent sales tax for mixed drinks. Until now the tax on mixed drinks was included in that original 14 percent and sales tax was only applied to beer and wine. With the implementation of the new law, the additional 8.25 will be added to the price of the drink. In essence, the tax for these cocktails has been shifted from the bar or restaurant owner to the customer. A license to carry Texans who possess a concealed handgun license (CHL)

will have an easier time renewing their permit. According to Senate Bill (SB) 864, the process to apply for a CHL will now include attending a minimum of four hours of instruction – down from the previous 10 hours. In addition, HB 48 changed the requirements to renew CHL to include completing an application online, paying the fee, and signing a recognition of a form that explains the law. Under the new HB 1349, the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) is no longer required to ask for the Social Security number of a person applying for or renewing their license. “My understanding is HB 1349 is simply interested in protecting the personal information of applicants and licensees,” said Shane Scott, a certified Texas CHL instructor for Azle, Springtown, and surrounding areas. “According to reports I read that were produced during the bill’s consideration, a Social Security number is not required for DPS to process the concealed handgun license application and complete the required background checks,” he continued. Scott explained that it is important to remember that information about licensees can only

be released to law enforcement personnel for law enforcement purposes. This fact ensures that licensees do not become targeted by anti-gun groups and that the locations of owners of firearms are not revealed to criminals. Man’s best friend Another new law on the books recognizes service animals for persons with post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). HB 489 states that public establishments may not deny admittance to these service animals and that employees of businesses may only ask the customer two questions about the animal: 1) Is the service animal required because the person has a disability and 2) what type of work is the animal trained to perform? Recognized service animals have typically assisted people with disabilities that were easily discernible through tasks such as guiding the visually impaired, pulling a wheelchair, and alerting the hearing impaired. Now canines that calm a person with PTSD can be added to the statewide recognized service animals. Gotta be drug free SB 21 requires Texans applying for unemployment benefits for the first time to take a drug test if their responses to the questionnaire signaled possible drug use. “The program of being able to provide some short-term benefits to help people get back on their feet is a laudatory program,” Lieutenant Governor David Dewhurst said, “but it’s been abused.” The bill also subjects people who fail the drug test to enroll in a treatment program. The author of the bill, Senator Tommy Williams, explained that these steps will make sure people receiving these benefits are ready and willing to go back to work. “We have a responsibility to say no. We shouldn’t be rewarding bad behavior because, at the end of the day, if we reward it, these folks are not going to get clean and sober,” Dewhurst said.

Senate Bill 329 has made tanning beds, such as this one at tan time tanning Salon in azle off limits to anyone under 18 years old. Photo by Natalie Gentry dential tenants. SB 946 allows tenants who have been the victim or parent of a victim of sexual assault, other sexual crimes, or stalking in the previous six months to terminate a lease with 30 days’ notice and avoid liability. The tenant is required to provide medical documentation, law enforcement incident reports, and/or protective orders in order to exercise this right. According to SB 1120, tenants who lose the use of their leased residence due to a natural disaster will be allowed to move to another rental unit owned by the landlord without an extension of time added to the lease. HB 1772 requires that tenants whose rent is “utilities included” be fairly notified by the landlord and the utility company before the utility is cut off.

Time Tanning Salon in Azle. “So it really just eliminated the paperwork we had to have for them – I like that part.” Lindsay Halter at Bahama Mama’s Tanning Salon in Azle said, “We really preferred it the way it was.” The one point everyone agreed on is that the salons haven’t felt the full brunt of the new law yet. “Of course everything here is seasonal, so when Spring Break and prom get here we will feel

it more.” Cole said. Halter echoed that point. “There hasn’t been much of a drop in business so far, but when prom comes around, all the girls who would usually tan will have to get a spray tan,” she said. Halter explained that the issue then will be logistics. “All of the girls will have to come in about two days before prom, that way the tan won’t fade out or rub off onto their dresses,” she said.

Disappearing tan lines The lost 1990’s pastime of lying out in the sun to tan may make a comeback. SB 329 made Texas the fifth state to ban anyone under the age of 18 from using a tanning bed – even with parents’ permission. The age was raised from 16 years and six months after a study by the Melanoma and Skin Center at the University of Texas’ MD Anderson Cancer Center linked tanning bed usage to an increase in melanoma. Local sentiments about the new regulations vary. Tenants’ rights “Well, we were pretty strict The 2013 legislative session before this law and didn’t have saw multiple laws passed to provide for the rights of resi- a large group of kids under 18,” said April Cole, manager of Tan
