Baby, It’s Cold Outside

Residents fight off home invasion with a hatchet By Natalie gentry Springtown police are searching for two suspects involved in a violent home invasion that occurred Jan. 8. According to Sergeant Shawn Owens, the officer who responded to the 911 call, two unidentified men entered a house in the 400 block of North Avenue C at approximately 8:46 p.m. The intruders gained entry to the home through an unlocked backdoor and attempted to rob the residents. One of the intruders threatened the homeowners with what appeared to be a firearm. It was later discovered that the weapon was a toy. According to Owens, the intruders attacked the male homeowner when he moved for the gun. During the fight, the female resident used an ornamental hatchet to strike one of the intruders several times in his back. Although the injured intruder went for the woman and the weapon, the female resident was able to get away and take the children in the house across the street to a neighbor’s home. There they called 911. The altercation in the home shifted for control of the hatchet the resident had dropped. According to police, the homeowner was able to attain the weapon, and possibly injure one of the intruders’ legs in the process. The suspects then fled the scene in a silver SUV – possibly an Isuzu Rodeo, according to Springtown Police Chief, Ed Crowdis. The intruders are described as two white or Hispanic men, Crowdis said. One wore a ski mask, while the other used a bandana and toboggan to cover his face. At least one of the men received injuries thought to require stitches, and the Springtown Police Department has distributed the suspects’ descriptions to area medical facilities in case they seek medical assistance. Crowdis said blood samples were obtained from the scene and sent for analysis. Although the intruders’ original intent is unclear, the pair seemed to know the address they targeted, according to police. The case is still under investigation; anyone with information about the case should contact the Springtown Police Department at 817-220-1534.

SPD focused on body cameras Additional personnel, another vehicle targeted, too By Natalie Gentry Following their most successful Tickets for Toy drive in December, the Springtown police department is now focused on the year ahead. “We want everyone to know that the toy drive was a big success in part because of the generosity of many local businesses,” Springtown Police Chief Ed Crowdis said. “Now we’re looking at 2015 and the year’s goals.” First and foremost Crowdis said the department is looking to get the police force back to full manpower. “Right now we’re three officers short,” he said. “The shortage makes it

difficult to follow up on cases quickly. We’re doing what we can.” In addition, this year’s budget includes funds for two new patrol cars. The department will receive the first vehicle this month and will reevaluate funding in April to decide if the second unit is still a fiscally responsible decision. Another consideration is the addition of body cameras. In light of the fatal police confrontations in Ferguson, Missouri, and Staten Island, New York, there is increasing public interest in police departments equipping officers with the

Four others earn alternate status In addition, several Springtown students are alternates to the All-State Band thanks to their performances on Jan. 10: • Ashley Levesque, a freshman who plays the oboe, placed second and is first alternate. • Jacob Matthews, a sophomore percussionist, took third and is also first alternate. • Grant Trichel, also a sophomore percussionist, placed fourth and is second alternate. • Kaylon Cremeen, a senior who plays the euphonium, was third and is second alternate. “We are so proud of all 15 students and the way they represented SHS,” McLellan said. This weekend the Sound of Springtown travels to Tarleton State University in Stephenville for the ATSSB

In addition, the chief said the department is researching policies and procedures that govern the use of the cameras – another step the department must consider before implementing the cameras. “We want to make sure we put together a policy that is mindful of citizens’ rights,” Crowdis said. “At the same time, we want to collect the evidence we need to document facts.” Other plans the Springtown Police Department has for 2015 include updating the office video system and new breathalyzer equipment.

Ending on a high note

SHS’ Moreno makes elite All-State Band By Natalie Gentry The Sound of Springtown had 15 students representing SHS Saturday, Jan. 10, at the Association of Texas Small School Bands (ATSSB) Area Central auditions. “This is the most students we have had at the Area level in over 10 years, and the most students out of any school at the audition,” said Chris McLellan, SISD’s Director of Bands. Junior trumpeter Luis Moreno made the cut and earned a place on the AllState Band. He will represent SHS Feb. 11-14 at the group’s clinic/concert in San Antonio. The All-State Bands, Choirs and Orchestras meet during the annual convention of the Texas Music Educators Association (TMEA).

tiny cameras. “We’ve been doing a lot of research into what is available,” Crowdis said. “We want to make sure we purchase items that meet our needs at a reasonable cost. “We’ve tested and evaluated several brands over the past couple of years,” he continued. These cameras will allow officers to record what happens when they are not in range of their vehicle’s camera. “If an officer is inside a building or searching a vehicle, these cameras will record everything they see.” Crowdis said.

By Natalie Gentry Springtown High School senior Emily Mitchell was selected for the AllState Women’s Choir for the second year in a row. “This is a very prestigious accomplishment,” SHS Choir Director, Denise Johnson said. “Emily has worked very hard for this.” This year marked Mitchell’s fourth year to compete for a place in the esteemed singing ensemble. She is the third Springtown student to ever make All-State Choir. In 2014 as a junior, Mitchell became the first student to earn a spot in the elite group in a decade. She is also the first female from SHS to ever earn a seat. Each September, over 16,000 students begin the All-State Choir audition process. At the Area round in January, the top 616 students in the state were chosen for an All-State Choir slot. Mitchell and her fellow winners will perform at a clinic and concert at the

Texas Music Educators Association Convention in San Antonio in February.

Reception for SISD board Jan. 22 By Natalie Gentry January is School Board Recognition Month and Springtown Independent School District (SISD) is joining other districts across the state to thank their local leaders for the dedication and willingness to serve as advocates for the children and public schools. SISD Superintendent Mike Kelley said, “Historically, the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) has made a special effort each January to recognize the efforts of school board members across the state. Locally, we recognize that our board’s members provide a year-round commitment to the schools in our community. “Their contribution of time and energy – as well as guidance and wisdom – are critical pieces of any success the District might enjoy. They are representatives of this community… people who are close to our schools and know our teachers, parents, and students. “As elected officials, they are the voice of all our stakeholders.” Whether approving personnel, budget, or policy proposals, SISD Board members shoulder responsibilities that sometimes require very difficult choices be made. “Individually, and as a group, our members have always maintained a strong focus on the principle goal of ensuring the future success of our district’s students. More than ever before, support for public education is critically important to ensuring that today’s youth are prepared to be productive citizens and the leaders of tomorrow,” Kelley said. “Political and economic changes in Texas have cre-

ated new challenges to the way schools conduct their business, but the vision and leadership our board provides as advocates for our children has been unfailing. “Our board will continue to stand up for public education, guarding against anything that might undermine the success of our public schools and the students in them,” he said. SISD’s Board members are: President Amy Walker, Vice President Larry Don Carter, Secretary Jody Lowery, Al Garrett, Jay Grubis, Mike Ray, and Keith Springfield. Some of the board’s recent

achievements include: • adding math specialists to the elementary teaching staff • refinancing a series of bonds that will save taxpayers approximately $2.5 million • partnering with an energy management group that projects a net savings of over $600,000 during the first five years of the program “Our board members volunteer to work countless hours without pay, demonstrating a willingness to serve as liaisons between the community and classroom.” Kelley said. “The board shares responsibility for an annual budget of approxi-

mately $33 million, over 3,335 students, 489 employees, and six campuses. “I hope everyone will join us in thanking these outstanding individuals for their efforts to make a difference and for their unfailing commitment to the continued success of our students now and in the future,” Kelley said. A reception will be held for the SISD Board of Trustees Thursday, Jan. 22 at 6:30 p.m. in the SISD Administration Office Boardroom – the public is invited to attend. A regular board meeting will follow the reception.

Area woman gets 20/20/40 year sentence A 57-year-old Springtown woman who has been in custody in the Parker County jail since June 27, 2014, will soon be moving – to a more permanent cell within the Texas Department of Criminal Justice. Jeana Denise Moseley – friends call her “Texas” – pleaded guilty in a Weatherford courtroom Friday, Jan. 9 to one charge of aggravated assault with a deadly weapon and two charges of delivery of methamphetamines. Moseley was sentenced to 40 years in prison for each of the drug offenses, as well as to 20 years for the aggravated assault in the 43rd Judicial District Court, Judge Craig Towson presiding. “This defendant had three previous trips to prison with five prior felonies,” said Assistant District Attorney Jeff Swain, who prosecuted the case with Assistant District Attorney Abby Placke. “Her actions in these cases and what we have learned about her in preparation

for trial showed that she was a significant drug dealer who was willing to use violence to accomplish her aims. “Sometimes that violence would take the form of her committing acts of violence and sometimes she would enlist others to act on her behalf. Regardless, with her criminal history, it did not seem that she was inclined to change and that she needed to be taken off of the streets of our community.” The methamphetamine delivery cases were purchases made by an informant working in conjunction with the Parker County Special Crimes Unit and occurred in the Azle area, Swain said. The aggravated assault occurred in a small home in the Springtown area when Moseley struck a 44-year-old man in the Shirley Knight (center) was recognized as the PCAT Bus Driver of the Year for the SISD.

Springtown Independent School District (SISD) driver Shirley Knight was recognized this year as the Property Casualty Alliance of Texas (PCAT) bus driver of the year for the district.

Knight was nominated by Jeanie Bedford – a SISD bus monitor in her 36th year with the district – and was voted the award by her peers. The honor is presented to drivers based on multiple attributes including leadership, attitude, perseverance, student and parent relationships, and technical skill. The 2014-2015 school year marks 21 years that Knight has been driving a bus for SISD.

Sales tax revenues bump up for most, Springtown numbers rise from 2014 BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN

Most cities and special purpose districts in this area saw healthy increases for January when compared with January 2014, but there are some notable exceptions. Parker County’s January sales tax revenue dropped 1.32%, from $577,429 in January 2014 to $569, 796 this month. And the town of Lakeside, which enjoyed a big boost in revenues in 2014 due to a one percent increase to its sales tax rate approved by voters in November 2013, saw its first decline in more than a year. Its sales tax revenue dropped 23.01 percent from $12,841 in January 2014 to $9,885 this month. That decrease is not alarming after 12 months of increases of more than 100 percent. Pelican Bay saw a dramatic decrease – 22.74 percent – from $1,784 in January 2014 to $1,378 this month. However, elsewhere in the area, things are looking up. The city of Springtown received $69,232 in January, representing a 10.57 percent increase from its January 2014 sales tax revenue of $62,610. In Reno, January sales tax revenue of $5,614 is 17.51 percent higher than in January 2014, when it received $4,777. Sanctuary, too, got a bump with January revenues of $1,241. That’s 28.22 percent more than in 2014 when it received $968. The city of Azle, as well as its two special purpose districts, all showed healthy increases in sales tax revenues for January when compared with revenues a year ago. The city received $169,356 in January, a 7.87 percent increase from January 2014 revenues of $156,990. Azle’s Crime Control and Prevention District received revenue in January of $32,797. Compared with January 2014 revenue of $30,060, that’s a bump of 9.1 percent. The Azle Municipal Development District’s January revenue of $30,593 is 16.93 more than its January 2014 revenue of $26,163. All Parker County cities combined received $1,360,766 in sales tax revenue for January, marking a 9.56 percent increase from January 2014 revenues of $1,241,946. Similarly, all Tarrant County cities combined saw an 8.72 percent increase with January revenues of $36,230,421 compared with January 2014 revenues of $33,321,539. The January sales tax figures represent November sales reported by monthly tax filers.

Renal lithiasis is the medical term for kidney stones that develop inside the kidney. The exact cause of kidney stone formation is unknown. Kidney stones do not cause pain until they move into the bladder tubes. Signs of a kidney stone typically include severe pain in the side and back that gets worse and pain when urinating. If a person experiences fever, chills, or nausea along with severe pain, then medical attention is usually needed. Researchers have identified several risk factors that indicate who may get a kidney stone more easily than others. These include a diet rich in protein, salt, and sugar; obesity, and not drinking enough water. Large kidney stones will require surgical or laboratory procedures to facilitate the passage of the stone from the body. For minor stones, many physicians will suggest drinking up to 2 liters of water a day to flush the stone out. The passing of a small stone will cause some discomfort and pain; over-the-counter (OTC) pain relievers such as acetaminophen (Tylenol), ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil), and naproxen (Aleve) help ease the discomfort. Doctors may prescribe opioid pain killers such as hydrocodone (Lortab) to help ease strong pain.

Ladies begin 8-4A hoops 1-1 by mark k. campbell District play began for the Lady Porcupine basketball team with Springtown winning at home and losing on the road. The victory was an easy one, 77-24 over Castleberry. At the SHS gym, points poured in for the home team. The Lady Porcupines posted quarters of 25, 20, and 20 before finishing with the dogs called off and getting 12. Senior team leader Brooklyn Dauenhauer out-scored the visitors by herself with 29 points. That included 6-of-7 from the free throw line. She also led SHS in steals with 11. Freshman Adrienne Easter netted 12 points – and led with 5 assists – in a game where plenty of Lady Porcupines found the basket. Sybille Vogel scored 9 points, Khristen Mote got 8 (and led with 6 rebounds), and Gabby Terry added 6 points. Haley Howell and Mote blocked shots in the blowout. The trip to Bridgeport Jan. 13 was a different breed of ball. The game was close early – after 8 minutes, the Lady Porcupines trailed just 12-11 – but the hosts pulled away to win 56-40.

This year’s gathering is set for Chisholm Trail HS Saturday, Feb. 7 – the same venue Springtown competed at Jan. 8 in quad action. Success there sends qualifiers to the regional tournament at Frisco. Then, the elite of the state gather in Garland for the state event. Before those dates arrive, the Porcupines have two more nondistrict sites to visit. Arlington Sam Houston is hosting a team tournament Jan. 17, and Springtown is bound for a dual contest at Richardson Berkner Jan. 28 – the final tuneup before district. Last year, Springtown had its first-ever medalist at the state meet, Kolyn Waldrop, who finished third.

Porcupines beat Venus District arrives Jan. 20 for SHS It’s been a long haul through non-district play for the Porcupine basketball squad. Springtown played three more pre-8-4A contests. But the beginning of the “real” season looms. District play starts Tuesday, Jan. 20 at home against Lake Worth. Before that tip-off at 8 p.m. arrives, SHS tangled with three non-district foes. On the road Jan. 6, the Porcupines beat Venus 62-56; SHS led comfortably after three periods, 46-31. Ten athletes scored, paced by Dawson Meek hitting for 22 points. When he also snagged 12 rebounds, he carded a double-double. Jared Green was next in scoring with 13 points. Kaleb Chesney added 8 while Raul Medina and Austin Bauman netted 4 points each. Springtown’s rebound numbers were an impressive 47. On Jan. 9 at Mineral Wells, the Rams pulled away and Porcupine Jared Green fires a pass. Springtown’s long non-district slate will finally end Tuesday, Jan. 20 when Springtown welcomes 8-4A rival Lake Worth to the SHS gym. Photo by Mark K. Campbell topped the Porcupines 62-42.

Letter Abbott pushing out ‘little guys’ Dear Editor, What a way to start a new governorship…by dissing California! At an Austin conference hosted by the conservative Texas Public Policy Foundation, Governor-elect Greg Abbott proclaimed that city-level “unchecked over-regulation” will turn our “Texas model” into “the California nightmare. Texas is being Californianized,” stated Mr. Abbott. His examples of this include restrictions by cities of the use of plastic shopping bags, limits on tree-cutting by property owners, and bans on fracking oil and gas wells, all of which he calls a form of collectivism. Mr. Abbott claims that, “My vision is one where individual liberties are not bound by city limits. I will insist on protecting unlimited liberty to make sure Texas will continue to grow and prosper.” For one who dislikes “big government” so much, it appears Mr. Abbott also doesn’t like “little government” either. Are city governments not important anymore? If most of the governing comes from the state level and the “little guys” are pushed out, what kind of state can Texas be? Oh, by the way, according to Wikipedia, if U.S. states were compared individually directly to other countries, California’s economy would be the eighth largest in the world – a pretty good ranking to have, in my opinion. I’d advise Mr. Abbott to select a different state to pick on. Judy Beeman Weatherford

Paschall, Texas, Part 1: Arriving in Wise County

s a child, my wife had wondered about her father’s Huddleston grandparents. Her mother had the Wheats and the Jacksons, but Daddy only had his maternal grandparents, the Nashs. She realized that her Daddy’s father, Matt Ector Huddleston, had died from typhoid fever on October 21, 1919, at age 29, leaving her grandmother, Janna Vallie Nash Huddleston, with a ten year old daughter, Beulah, an eight year old son, Reuben, and six-month old twin babies, Waldon and Aldon. But...why hadn’t the grandparents and the rest of the family stayed close to this young family? They were living in Bridgeport which was only about twenty miles away, but her grandmother moved to Springtown to be near her family, so that they could help her raise her children. Every year on the third or fourth Sunday in April, Julia went with her

grandmother’s sister, Ira, had married one of the Paschall children. Wilma’s first husband was Ira’s son, Lyle Paschall – so Julia’s father’s first cousin. During and HISTORICAL after the Civil efforts HIGHLIGHTS War, to settle Wise had Laurie Moseley County crumbled with Indian raids jeopardizing outlying settlements until 1875 when the last raid occurred. Wise County had been a frontier county for twenty years. Settlers heading west into the county in the 1870's must have feared they had reached the end of the earth. They had reached a vague but impor-

tant line of demarcation, the farming frontier where the familiar woodlands gave way to prairie and cattle ranching in the western part of the county. They had also reached another invisible boundary, the cultural edge of the South where few if any social organizations existed. It was into this disorganized and sometimes hostile place that Robert Alexander Paschall and his family migrated from Tennessee in 1876. Robert was born in Tennessee in 1853, the eldest son of James Anderson Paschall and Sarah Annie Marshall. He married Molly Dill in June 1876 and they accompanied his parents and his five brothers and two sisters to Wise County. Arriving by train in Ft. Worth – the launching area for westward migration – they then traveled by wagon to Wise County. James Anderson settled in the southwestern part of the county in what would become the Bethel Community. Robert and Molly farmed land near

family to the graveyard decoration at Cottondale where Matt was buried. His tombstone was a “Woodman of the World” stone – just across the sidewalk from his brother, Pleasant Jim’s similar stone, but she still felt no real connection to the Huddleston family. After the decoration, one year when she was 8 to 10, her grandmother took her family to a little abandoned cemetery in Wise Coounty. She remembered it because they had to crawl through a barbed wire fence and through a monster patch of briars to get to it, and Julia was worried about her grandmother’s hose. They did visit the graves, and she did realize that they were part of her father’s family, but never really realized that they were his grandparents. Flash forward several years to 1997. After church one Sunday, Wilma Bradshaw asked if we would like to go with her and Kenton to a dedication of the historical marker at the Paschall farm in Wise County. Julia’s

the Tarrant and Parker County line until 1890 when Robert bought 160 acres of unimproved land on Salt Creek four miles south of where his father lived. While staying with his father, he walked four miles both ways each day to his land to build the first house on the site which would later be known as Paschall, Texas. Southwestern Wise County was the last area of Wise County to be settled, being some twenty miles from the county seat at Decatur. It still lacked any social organization in1890. Settlers coming into the frontier had responded to disorganization as they had in their old homes by forming associations of farmers and stockmen and social institutions, including schools and churches. So it was here. How did the community cope with these problems? Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown. He is the director of Springtown’s Legends Museum.

TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION BETTER NEWSPAPER CONTEST

AWARD WINNER 2014

OPINION

Thursday, January 15, 2015

Proposal would put contracts The Big Red Pen under increased scrutiny

ignaling his intent to promote transparency and accountability in the 84th Texas Legislature, House Speaker Joe Straus on Jan. 9 announced that in the coming weeks the House would release a budget proposal designed to strengthen oversight of state agency contracts. The Legislature convenes Jan. 13. Agencies or institutions of higher education, under the proposal, would have to meet new reporting requirements prior to awarding a contract or making a purchase worth more than $10 million, Straus said. Requirements also would apply to contracts and purchases worth more than $1 million and which do not go through a competitive bidding process, he added. At least 30 days prior to making such an expenditure, a state agency issuing a contract would have to notify the Legislative Budget Board, governor, state auditor, chair of the House Appropriations Committee, chair of the Senate Finance Committee and chairs of any other committees with jurisdiction over contracting. Along with that notification, an agency, before finalizing such a contract, would provide to the Legislative Budget Board and the others: • Information about the nature of the contract and the vendor awarded it. • A certification by the agency’s executive director that the process used to award the contract or make the purchase complies with the state’s Contract Management Guide, State

in the near future between the top two vote-getters in each election. In Bexar County, State Rep. Trey Martinez Fischer, a Democrat, received 43 percent of the vote in a five-candidate race to fill the Senate District 26 seat vacated by Leticia Van de Putte. State Rep. Jose Menendez, also a Democrat, placed second, receiving 25 percent of the vote. The winner of the runoff will finish out the remainder of Van de Putte’s four-year term, which expires in 2017. In a five-way race to succeed Tim Kleinschmidt as the state representative for House District 17 the top two vote-getters were Republicans John Cyrier, who received 46 percent of the vote, and Brent Golemon, who received 26 percent. The district includes Bastrop, Caldwell, Gonzales, Karnes and Lee counties. Kleinschmidt resigned from the House in November to accept a position as general counsel for the Texas Department of Agriculture. Six candidates competed in the special election to succeed state Rep. Mike Villarreal in the San Antonio House District 123 seat. Democrat Diego Bernal received 47 percent of the special election vote and in the runoff will face Republican Nunzio Previtera who received 21 percent. Villarreal, like Van de Putte, is a candidate for mayor of San Antonio. 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.

stances, cadences – all are dead on. It’s a fantastic performance. And there are plenty of other standouts, too. His entourage, minor roles by Oprah Winfrey and Cuba Gooding, Jr., Roth as Wallace – all are solid. Wilkinson as LBJ avoids the thick drawl so often associated with the gruff president and makes him a believably harried, conflicted man. Another thing Selma and director DeVernay get right is the period look. There isn’t a false note in the depiction of the 1960’s. Don’t be late: There’s a shocking scene that will blow you out of your seat about 10 minutes into the movie. And how great it is to see people actually being able to speak intelligently to one another with cascades of emotional words that hold such clout. We simply do not speak that wonderfully well today.

Photo tales The story behind the picture: Icy Walnut Creek by mark k. campbell This photograph came about because of a football game. Back in November, Azle was playing at Wichita Falls Rider for the district championship (won by the Hornets). I’m not driving through Jacksboro without stopping at Herd’s Hamburgers. While waiting for my food, I somehow lost my beloved Beatles eyeglasses – in just about a 50 square foot area they simply disappeared. That forced me into my backup glasses, the ones I had retired a few years ago because they broke. I had cobbled them back together with tape and put them in the glove box for emergency use. That emergency arrived in Jacksboro. Months later, I still haven’t gotten around to getting new specs. These reserve glasses are loose on my nose but they work just fine – I just have to be careful leaning over or they slide off my nose. It’s been a cold start to the New Year, and it’s unusual for our waterways to be frozen over. So on Friday, Jan. 9, I ventured to Walnut Creek just off Main Street in Springtown to document this icy beginning to 2015.

It was cold; the chill factor was well below freezing. I parked at the pavilion and found a place to scamper down the bank to get some shots of the frozen creek. There’s a decent descent area nearby and, clutching my substantial camera bag, I worked my way down. As usual, the chances for the best pictures would require crossing the stream. That was accomplished despite a shakier-thanexpected-when-stepped-on rock in the creek and a leap that dropped me into the midst of some cockle burrs. (Back in the office, I found one in my coat and another in my pant’s leg.) The best shot appeared to be the one looking back toward the bridge. I squatted down to get some reflection of nearby trees. I glanced down at the camera settings – and my glasses slid off my nose and into the creek. Well, onto the creek. Fortunately, the ice was thick enough that the specs slid just a few feet away. I retrieved them after taking this picture, never noticing that water trapped between the lenses and ice looked like eyes staring back from the water. It’s a weird picture – totally an accident. Kinda cool, I thought. So it made the paper.

The first in an occasional series of the history of a photograph.

How to find the right wedding vendors Weddings are a careful balance of many elements that culminate on one special day. Making all of the components of a wedding come together seamlessly requires a well organized bride and groom and the cooperation of professional wedding vendors who understand their unique roles. Vendors, including florists, transportation companies, musicians, and dressmakers are essential to a successful wedding. Competent wedding vendors will remove much of the worry and work from a couple’s shoulders. But not every couple ends up with top-notch wedding vendors. Research, planning and verifying references are some ways to ensure your vendors make your wedding day that much more enjoyable. • Seek recommendations from trusted friends and family members. Talk to friends and family members whose insight you value about which wedding vendors they used. If you attend a wedding or another party and find the flowers or the music particularly well done, ask for the name of the florist or band. Word-of-mouth advertisement is a great way to find quality wedding vendors who will help make your dream wedding a reality. • Consult with a wedding planner. If budget allows, work with a wedding planner. He or she will have an extensive list of wedding vendors you can contact. A wedding planner wants the job to get done right and efficiently, and many wedding planners have

already vetted and verified certain vendors as quality workers. • Always ask for references and don’t ignore them. Busy wedding vendors should provide you with a list of names of satisfied customers. Talk with couples who used the vendors’ services in the past and ask the questions that are most important to your decisionmaking process. Unbiased feedback also may be available through online review sites, but direct contact with references may make you feel more comfortable. If a vendor fails to provide references, this should raise suspicions about the person’s reliability. • Deposits should be a fraction of the total price. Avoid wedding vendors who insist on hefty deposits. A deposit is a good-faith agreement to hold the date of the wedding, and it should be a small percentage of the overall cost of the services. • Do not pay balances too far in advance. Many wedding vendors require the balance be paid on the day of the wedding or shortly before. Good vendors realize couples will not want to pay the tally until they have received the products or services they signed up for. A photographer may ask for the final payment when albums are delivered. The exception may be a caterer or reception site that needs the funds to order food and beverages a few weeks in advance. Paying off a vendor too early means you run the risk of that vendor having your money and then not coming through on the wedding day. It’s difficult to track down a person for a refund, plus you’re left with finding a replacement at the last minute. • Contracts are your friends. Every agreement should be in writing. You have a better chance of fighting for a refund or restitution in court when you have a contract in writing. • Consider wedding insurance. Even the best-laid plans can go awry on a wedding day. Anything from freak weather events to illness to vendor absences can wreak havoc. The Better Business Bureau advises purchasing wedding insurance to protect yourself when weddings are especially costly. Such insurance may cover vendors who fail to show up, cancellations, inclement weather, military deployment, medical emergencies, and travel delays. With wedding insurance, you won’t lose money if plans change. A basic insurance policy that covers loss of photos, videos, attire, presents, rings, and deposits usually costs between $155 and $550, depending on the amount of coverage you want.
