Turner ‘steps down’ as Springtown football coach BY MARK K. CAMPBELL After eight seasons leading Porcupines as the Springtown head football coach, Brad Turner is vacating that post. He will remain as athletic director, SISD superintendent Mike Kelley said. Kelley released this statement Wednesday, Jan. 22: “Earlier today, Coach Turner met with his players and football coaches and announced that he would not be returning to coach the Porcupines next fall. “Citing a strong desire for his student athletes to avoid some of the distractions that have presented themselves, he has requested and been granted the opportunity to step down as head coach. “He will continue fulfi lling his duties and responsibilities as athletic director until further notice. “He did not resign.” Via Facebook and Twitter, the Epigraph incorrectly said that Turner had resigned; that is incorrect – he did not resign. Turner came to Springtown from Sulphur Springs in 2006. In eight football seasons, he posted an overall record of 37-48. In district play – in 4A and later in 3A competition – Turner’s Porcupines went 25-28. Springtown reached the postseason four times in those

eight seasons, going 1-4. That victory came last November at Wichita Falls, 49-27 against Hirschi in bi-district. In all seasons but one, SHS harbored playoff hopes entering the final game of the season. Turner’s Porcupine teams were known for putting up astonishing offensive numbers. (See a story on Page 8A for stats on the 2013 Porcupine squad that ranked among state leaders in several offensive categories – often among all classifications.) Turner came under fi re from some citizens at a November 2011 school board meeting when Springtown posted a 1-9 record for the season. He survived that tumultuous period, receiving a vote of confidence from Kelley at a January board meeting. “I’m very confi dent that Coach Turner is going to do a good job of putting us in the best possible position to be successful,” Kelley said then. Springtown returned to the playoffs the next two seasons. However, some residents returned to the school board in 2013 to again voice concerns about the direction and success of the program. Since this story broke at press time on Wednesday, Jan. 22, a more detailed piece will be printed in the Jan. 30 Brad Turner stepped down as the Springtown head football coach Epigraph. Jan. 22.

‘Soooooooooul Train’ Local church will use refurbished trolley to pick up children

Hilltop Family Church’s new trolley car will be used to transport kids to and from church.

Photo by Natalie Gentry

BY NATALIE GENTRY Hilltop Family Church in Springtown has made an addition to the church in the form of a trolley car. The green and gold Soul Train will be used to cart children to and from Sunday School. So what inspired the acquisition of the trolley? “When I was in Eureka Springs on vacation I saw the trolley cars they have and I thought ‘what a calling card for kids,” said John Conway, Hilltop Family Church pastor. “I spoke to the elders and to the church to see if somebody felt led to start a bus ministry and would like to cultivate it.” After the service, Kelvin Miles approached Conway and volunteered to lead the ministry. Miles and Brad Baltzell will be the men behind the wheel of the Soul Train. After searching the Internet, Miles fi nally found a potential trolley candidate for the job. “We found this little darling here and brought it back,” Conway said. The church has had the trolley now for a little over a month, in which time it has been totally overhauled so it will be ready to carry children safely to Sunday services. You can hitch a ride and fi nd out more information at Hilltop Family Church, 817-220-7177.

Reno council accepts The highest note: disannexation petition SHS singer first-ever female BY NATALIE GENTRY Reno resident Art Johnson presented multiple petitions to the Reno City Council regarding items to be voted on by the council or placed on the ballots for the May election. The fi rst petition Johnson presented requested that the city discontinue the agreement with Tarrant County that allows them to collect taxes. Instead, Johnson said that the taxes should be collected by the county in which the city resides. Johnson stated that 141 people signed this pe-

tition. The next petition that was presented requested that a tax rate freeze be put in place for citizens over 65 and who are disabled. Again, 141 residents signed this petition. The third petition Johnson presented requested an increase in the homestead exemption for residents over 65 and who are disabled. The current exemption extends to the fi rst 10 percent of the residents’ property value. PLEASE SEE DISANNEXATION, PAGE 3A.

Suspicious minds: Area folks, kids, even an Elvis interpreter implore Texas Railroad Commission to shut down injection wells BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN An estimated 100 people, including Springtown residents, left Azle at 5 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21 – some in a chartered bus and others in a nine-vehicle caravan that followed. Their objective: convince the Texas Railroad Commission (TRC) to shut down about 13 saltwater disposal wells in the Azle/Reno/Springtown area believed by many residents to be the cause of 30-plus earthquakes that have occurred since Nov. 1, 2013. They used just about every tool available to them – from lining up prescription medications for the board to see to 11- and 12-year-old children testifying to a live adaptation of Elvis Presley’s hit “All Shook Up” – to accomplish that

objective. About 30 people actually spoke – or sang “we’re in Azle...we’re all shook up” accompanied by guitar – and the commissioners lent their ear. While each individual had their own story, they almost all requested the commission shut down disposal wells in the area immediately and then continue with studies to determine the cause of the earthquakes. Most of their points and arguments have already been heard at two Town Hall meetings held earlier this month at Azle High School. But TRC staff did presented information following the public commentary portion of the PLEASE SEE AREA, PAGE 2A.

selected for All-State Choir

Emily Mitchell competed at the Area round of AllState competition in Midland Jan. 11. There, she was selected for a place on the elite AllState Choir group – a fi rst for a Springtown High School singer, choir director Denise Johnson said. “This is a very prestigious accomplishment,” Johnson said. Mitchell is only the third Springtown student to ever make All-State Choir. She is the fi rst student to do so in 10 years, and the first female from Springtown to ever be chosen. This year was Mitchell’s third year to compete for a place on the prestigious singing ensemble. “The difference this year was that I felt like I really had the support of my friends.” Mitchell said. Only 504 students from schools throughout the state are selected from an initial audition pool of over 16,000 singers. The audition process brings to mind visions of TV’s The Voice. A group of fi ve students warm up and then, oneby-one, students are called into a room to sing. The judges are separated from the students by a curtain so that the only element they are judging is the voice they hear. There are four rounds with the song selection becoming increasingly diffi cult and additional cuts after each round. “I am so very proud of all of the hard work she has shown to accomplish this,” Johnson said.

Reno citizen, Art Johnson, presented petitions regarding tax relief, tax collection, and disannexation to Mayor Lynda Stokes at the City Council meeting Jan 20. Photo by Natalie Gentry

Disannexation petition accepted by Reno n DISANNEXATION, FROM PAGE ONE.

Johnson’s proposal would raise that percentage to 30 percent. One hundred forty-three people signed this petition. Disannexation The final petition addresses the prospect of the disannexation of part of the city of Reno itself. Johnson referenced Texas Local Government Code chapter 43 section 43.143 regarding disannexation by petition and election. If passed, the result would be the removal of approximately 40 percent of the municipality Johnson said he has 104 sig-

natures on this petition – well over the require 50. “We thank the mayor for accepting these petitions and we urge you to comply with the State Constitution, the State of Texas Local Government Code and tax code and call the election,” Johnson said. “It clearly states that when a petition is presented with the required number of signatures of qualified voters that the mayor shall call an election,” he continued. “It doesn’t give you an option of litigation or ‘I’ll think about it’ in the constitution or the codes, “We further urge you to move without hasty delay, verify the signatures and comply with the constitution and the local

codes, and call an election on these petitions for the May 10, 2014 elections,” Johnson concluded. The petitions were accepted by Mayor Lynda Stokes who indicated that staff would quickly be set to verifying that all signatures met the qualification to call for a vote. The official response Response to the petitions was as passionate as they were varied. Mayor Stokes used a white board so that she could breakdown the budget as compared to the one included in the petition. Her concern was that the total city budget presented to

the petitioners may have been misleading because it included speculated amounts. In response to the question of the tax freeze and the tax exemption Stokes reiterated her statement from last summer. “In this concern, the council finds itself in the unique position,” Stokes explained, “insomuch as if a freeze would go into effect, almost every member of this council would benefit directly from it.” Stokes said she feels a vote would be the most ethical way to handle the debate. “I encouraged Mr. Johnson, and anybody else who would, to gather the petitions so that

When inspectors returned Jan. 2 and Jan. 6, the disposal well in question was shut in and being worked on, Hernandez said. That well must pass all required Commission tests before it can resume operations, Hernandez said. Rister also told the Commission about recent rewrites to Rule 13 which he called the most

significant rewrite in 30 years, and since the inception of horizontal drilling. “If they’re not complying with our rules, we’re revoking their right to do business in Texas, and they take that very seriously,” Rister said. “It’s one thing to revoke their permit, but when we tell them they can no longer do business in Texas, it’s very serious.” The Commission did not take any formal action as a result of the comments from area residents.

Bois d’arc and ticks vats highlight meeting By Natalie GeNtry At the Jan. 16 meeting of the Springtown Archeological, Dr. Alan Skinner, from AR Consultants in Dallas, spoke. He sprinkled personal anecdotes throughout the factual evidence of his archeological escapades. Skinner began with a discussion about recent discoveries at Lower bois d’arc Reservoir in Fannin County and the Redwine House in Farmersville. Both sites are connected to Skinner’s current self-proclaimed obsession with bois d’arc wood.

School district releases board election information

During the presentation the members of the society kept Skinner busy with questions. The next topic Skinner discussed was ticks. More specifically, he discussed the dipping vats that were used to kill ticks on longhorn cattle before they were driven north to Dodge City, Kansas. Skinner pointed out that some dipping vats have been converted into pools – dangerous since the solution used in the vats was heavily laced with arsenic. Dipping vats have been discovered throughout Texas and Skinner has been mapping them. The Parker County Archaeological Society (PCAS) is a part of the Texas Archaeological Society (TAS). The local chapter organized about seven years ago. The Parker County Archeological Society promotes study, preservation and awareness of Texas archeology. The society encourages scientific archeological exploration and research, the preservation and conservation of archeological materials and sites, and the interpretation and publication of the data attendant thereto. In order to accomplish this mission and goals, the group creates training opportunities for students of all ages and informs the community of the local archeological heritage. Anyone can be a member.

But TRC staff did present information following the public commentary portion of the meeting. According to Milton Rister, executive director for the Commission, all disposal wells within a 15-mile radius of the epicenter area have been inspected. Of the 13 wells within that radius, two are private injection wells that only dispose of wastewater generated by their own drilling operations. Ironically, those two wells are located closest to the epicenter area identified by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Southern Methodist University (SMU) researchers. Also somewhat ironically, both of those wells have recorded relatively low volumes since prior to the earthquakes’ onset. The other 11 disposal wells, according to TRC staffers, are commercial disposal wells that accept fluids from outside sources. Of those 11, one disposal well recorded pressure on its production stream when inspections

Warm packs, baths, and massages may help relax leg muscles. Symptoms of restless legs syndrome may be reduced when caffeine, alcohol, and tobacco products are reduced. For mild symptoms, over the counter (OTC) pain relievers called NSAIDS (nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs) such as ibuprofen (Motrin) and naproxen (Aleve) may relieve the sensation. Ropinirole (Requip) and pramipexole (Mirapex) are FDA- approved to help treat moderate to the more severe restless legs. Member SIPC

Ladies begin 2nd round with a wild one

by mark k. campbell Whew! The halftime score of the Lady Porcupines Jan. 21 hoops game at Kennedale – 65-44 – was higher than most full contest tallies. Heck, the score after just one quarter was 39-20. Springtown (10-10, 4-2) lost at Kennedale 115-66 after earlier popping Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis 75-11. What the Kennedale game doesn’t show, coach Susan Croft said, is what an exceptional shooting game the Lady Porcupines had. “With any ‘normal team,’ our stat sheet shows a pretty decent game with 51 percent and 66 percent from the three-point line. “The score does not give our shooters justice,” the coach said. Leading SHS’ shooting barrage was Brooklyn Dauenhauer who scored 27 points. Also scoring: Katelynn Mainord with 9, Ashley Mainord with 8, Kendyl Dean’s 7, Abbi Hatton’s 6, Adrienne Easter with 5, and Taylor Babcock with 4 points. The killer was turnovers, Croft said. Springtown had 29. “They used a full court for the entire game – with the exception of the last 30 seconds – to speed up play,” the coach said. That scuttled SHS’ plan of atTaylor babcock and the lady porcupines remain solidly in postseason position despite a high-scoring loss at tack. kennedale.

Hopes high for SHS wrestlers at district After sending two athletes to the state wrestling tournament for the first time last season, Springtown coach David Brokenshire hopes to have more Porcupines get to make that trip. The top four finishers at the District 5-4A tourney at Byron Nelson High School Jan. 25 advance to the regional event. And Springtown has several wrestlers who could move on to regional at Frisco Heritage HS, Jan. 31-Feb. 1. One Porcupine is head and shoulders above his district rivals, the coach said.

Kolyn Waldrop, a 2013 state qualifier, is the top seed in the 220-pound division. “Nobody should come near him,” coach Brokenshire said. The defending district champion, Waldrop “will be hardpressed to be tested. He is honestly that good,” the coach said. Another top Porcupine, Brokenshire said, is heavyweight Caleb Plumlee. While he will be the No. 1 or No. 2 seed – the other being Azle’s Justin Scarbro – “he should win it,” Brokenshire said of the Porcupine, a runnerup last year.

The coach said six other Springtown athletes have solid chances to advance to the regional event. Brokenshire said Caice Clark (138) “has come a long way this year.” The Porcupine should be seeded second or third. Benji Brokenshire, another veteran and a 2011 district champ, will be a No. 2 seed as well, the coach said. Four SHS athletes face tough weight classes “but each should go to the regional tourney,” the coach said. PLEASE SEE SHS, PAGE 8A.

trying not to get into a running game with them, but we were forced into a much faster pace than we could handle and it showed in the second half.” The Lady Porcupines scored half as many points in the final two quarters as the first, 22. The game spotlighted an area where Croft said she had been focusing on with the squad. “Limiting turnovers has been a consistent problem with us for most of the season and we hope to get that under control before heading to the playoffs.” While the Kennedale game began the second part of 6-3A play, the first round ended with a blowout of Diamond HillJarvis. Two Lady Porcupines – Ashley Mainord and Abbi Hatton – carded double-doubles. Mainord led in scoring with 22 points and grabbed 10 rebounds. Hatton scored 15 points and nabbed 11 boards. She also blocked 2 shots. Katelynn Mainord scored 11, Babcock 8, Dean and Easter 6 (the latter on a pair of threepointers), and Jordan Doremus 4 points. Scoring machine Dauenhauer was kept out of the game as a precaution due to an earlier minor car accident, Croft said. Springtown has four 6-3A games remaining, two at home and two on the road. The final home game – against Mineral Wells Jan. 31 – is Senior Night.

SHS mat men ready for district n SHS, FROM PAGE 7A.

That quartet: • Trey Johnson – 132 • Phillip Schneider – 160 • Charles Emmert – 170 • Justin Lindsey – 182 A pair of sophomores are “wild cards,” the coach said. Those tenth graders are Mark Matkovich (126) and Hunter Robinson (195). “They will need to really be on their A game, but have shown they have what it takes,” coach Brokenshire said. Earlier, Springtown wrestlers tuned up at Birdville. There, the Porcupines defeated the hosts 42-33 and were edged by Fort Worth Western Hills 36-30. The duals event capped off a strong pre-district series of clashes. “We have paid the price of a tough dual meet season to get the boys the competition they needed to improve,” the coach said. He added, “As I look at the competition, I honestly see

all of our wrestlers having a chance to advance. When you get to this point, a lot has to come from the heart. “It will depend on their seeds and their inner desire.” Nelson will likely be the team favorite while Azle is always a perennial power. Wrestling’s district differs from most sports; 5A teams were split off from the rest of the squads in Texas last year. Springtown competes in 5-4A with Argyle, Saginaw, Boswell, Saginaw Chisholm Trail, Nelson, and Azle. Thanks to being placed in Region 2, Springtown will avoid a regional trip to distant El Paso for that tourney. Instead, Frisco Heritage is the next stop. Success there sends athletes to the state meet. For the first time ever, Austin will not be the host city. As with volleyball earlier, the state wrestling tournament will be conducted in Garland. But first things first – success Hunter Robinson (top) will be vying for a top four finish at the District 5-4A wrestling tournament at Trophy Club Byron Nelson Saturday, Jan. 25. Success there moves athletes on to the regional event. Photo by Mark K. Campbell at district.

Springtown FB offense among best in Texas The numbers are in and the Springtown 2013 football offense was mighty potent. The Porcupine O ranked among the leaders in Texas – in all classifications. Based on statistics culled from pressboxservices.com, Springtown was the only offense in the Lone Star State that averaged 35-plus passes and more than 35 rushes per game. “It shows we play fast and are balanced offensively,” coach Josh Strickland noted. In total plays per game in all classifications, the Porcupines tied for third. Springtown was the second best team in passing for touchdowns in 3A in 2013 and first in passing TDs per game. Those numbers put SHS in the top 10 among all teams in Texas. The 2013 Porcupine football offense – here messing with Wichita Falls Hirschi in bi-district with the special In total passing yards per “Utah” play – was one of the most prolific in Texas in any classification. Photo by Mark K. Campbell game, the Porcupines finished

Basketball boys 2-2 in district Sitting 2-2 in 6-3A hoops is not a bad place to be. Springtown split games against Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis and Kennedale to remain at .500 in district ac tion. SHS clubbed visisting Diamond Hill 66-40, putting the game away with a 30-point third quarter Caleb Brown poured in 21 points. Also reaching double digits were Jared Green with 17 and Dylan Ray with 10. Dawson

Meek added 6. All 10 Porcupines grabbed a rebound. Kennedale dropped Springtown 93-58. Meek and Brown both paced SHS with 16 points. Ray added 13. The Wildcat hosts raced out to a 58-30 halftime lead. The first round of district play ends Jan. 24 when Castleberry comes to the SHS gym. In round two of 6-3A action, three of the Porcupines’ five contest are home clashes.

Lady lifters win again in Chico The Lady Porcupines’ second powerlifting meet of the season mimicked the first – victory. Springtown won the Chico event and Jocelyn Pando and Melissa Perrone were named the best lifters. Four Lady Porcupines won their weight classes. Perrone not only took first with 855 pounds but is ranked No. 1 in the state in her weight class. Pando, also a Chico winner, Porcupine Cody Croft looks for a teammate. is No. 1 in the region in her SHS is 2-2 is District 6-3A class. Lizeth Melendez won with hoops. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

a 515 total; she is No. 1 in Region 6, too. SHS’ fourth gold in Chico was won by Martha Chavez; she is No. 2 in the region. Alli Roglin took the silver in Chico while Lizbeth Melendez and Tabitha Rogers finished third. The latter is SHS’ fourth No. 1 ranked lifter in Texas. Katie Roglin and Chayton Seabourn finished fifth at the meet. Coach Missy Castro said, “Several girls broke meet and personal records; everyone medaled.”

in the top 5 in 3A and top 25 among all classes. Springtown was one of just six teams in Texas to throw for more than 40 TDs and rush for more than 200 yards per game. The others: Whitehouse, Cameron Yoe, Eastland, Graham, and Aledo. With those kinds of prolific numbers, several individual Porcupines also put up impressive stats. Leading the pack was sophomore quarterback Landry Turner. He was No. 1 in pass completions and attempts; No. 3 in passing TDs; No. 4 in passing yardage; and No. 6 in total offense. Dillon Springfield was No. 4 in catches and No. 18 in receiving yardage. Dylan Ray was No. 7 in catches and Ryan Hester No. 20. Ryan Snow was No. 13 in rushing carries.

District next for soccer After a slew of matches, district is next for Porcupine soccer. The boys remain winless after clashes with FW O.D. Wyatt, a Brewer tourney, and a 2-0 loss at home to Decatur Jan. 21. At Brewer, Springtown got goals from David Cobos, Ricardo Reynoso, and Josue Ramirez. District 12-4A play begins at Boswell Jan. 28.

JV, 9th basketball wins Springtown High School subvarsities are in the midst of district play. The JV girls beat Diamond Hill-Jarvis 42-17 as every Lady Porcupine scored, coach Missy Castro said. Kaitlyn Hill’s 13 points led SHS. Ekko Hurst and Chayton Seabourn added 6 each. Next, Kennedale topped the SHS JV 54-44. Coach Castro said her squad cut a substantial KHS lead down to 4 points in the third quarter. Four of SHS’ 9 players fouled out with 2 of the remaining 5 playing with 4 fouls, she said. Harley Williams and Hill scored 10 points each; Kristine Comacho added 6. The girls 9th (11-3, 4-1)

The boys JV pounded Diamond Hill-Jarvis 63-15. The visiting Eagles did not score in the first quarter; Springtown put up 23 points in that time frame.

Winter Olympics Quake editorial rattles readers are in ‘snow’ Editorial offended much trouble Christian reader

Letters to the editor

Dear Sir: I would like to talk about the editorial in this week’s paper [Jan. 15]. It was not done in the right way and, as a Christian and a person that attended the meeting, I was very offended. We do not need to make a joke about the worry and concern that the earthquakes are causing. Max Smith Azle

Quake activists are today’s patriots I was totally shocked by the totally misguided satire the Azle News printed Jan. 15, 2014. Instead of ridiculing the concerned citizens and the experienced and informed people that called the meeting because of similar catastrophes in other parts of Texas, the USA, and around the world, they should have welcomed them with open arms. If it weren't for brave, concerned citizens and activists in this country, we would still be paying taxes to England, not be able to vote for our leaders, be totally segregated down to the restrooms and drinking fountains, and women would not be able to vote! The fact is that the oil and gas well industry cares more about its profits than the people that their industry affects in a very negative way. The closest comparison that comes to mind is the tobacco industry lying to us for decades about the cancer-causing tobacco they wanted to get people addicted to. Until recently, the average citizen didn't have a clue that other countries like Bulgaria, Romania, and France have banned the “environmentally destructive” fracking and disposal wells. Just like many other areas nationally and internationally, these 32 recent Azle area earthquakes – that have caused lots of damage to many local homes – are caused from drilling, fracking, and disposal wells. That's why DFW Airport, Cleburne, Burleson, and Dallas areas, among others, restricted the disposal wells and fracking. So, if Mark Campbell and the Azle News wants to ridicule us as “Bad News locusts” and a “frenzied” audience at the Jan. 13, 2014 town hall meeting, then we're in good company, like Paul Revere, George Washington, and John Hancock. Hopefully, when more people put 2 + 2 together, they'll realize, like Colorado, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, New York, and other states, that, not only the “non-environmentally friendly” practices of drilling, fracking, and

disposal wells, but the resulting earthquakes “are,” and “will” crack and cause leaks in the cement casings that are “supposed” to be on the drilling, fracking, and disposal wells – which will contaminate our underground aquifers! No amount of gas is worth sacrificing our clean air, clean and plentiful water, (disposal wells are pumping at least 9 billions of gallons of contaminated, cancer-causing fluids into our earth each month), or the health of our future generations. So, if some uninformed friends of the gas well industry want to compare us to Erin Brockovich or George Washington – we say “thank you.” We'll try even harder to improve our government and environment by not voting for candidates that let the gas well industry run wild – at our expense. Instead, we'll vote for quality and caring candidates. Darlia Hobbs Eagle Mountain Lake resident

Editoral got it right says Azle resident To MKC: Regarding your Editorial in the January 15, 2014 edition of the Azle News – amen and spot on. Name withheld by request Azle

Water issue just as vital as quakes Sir: Thank you for your general coverage, re: fracking issues; however I implore you to take this further. While some people are rightfully upset about cracks in their homes, broken pipes, etc., the primary issue is what they are injecting into the wells. These are toxic chemicals that result in horrible effects, mutations, and death to fish, livestock, and human mutations. I feel sorry for our mayor (not that he was in office at the time). So many people jumped at the easy money. But now we have a responsibility to our landowners and our children. I urge you to investigate this issue. I’m sure the data is readily available through the EPA, clean water organizations, etc. It was a mere oversight that these kinds of groups were prohibited from being able to attend that meeting. Please don’t reduce this to a story about pictures falling off walls or citizens feeling the need to go to bed fully dressed. You can discuss the correlation between fracking and quakes all you want. But there is no reason to with-

hold the information from anyone about what is being injected into the wells following the fracking process. There is also probable cause to consider the effect of pulverizing the rock and creating sinkholes. Kathy Rhodes Azle

Why is King on the sub-committee? I have been informed that Phil King, because of his service to the oil and gas industry on the energy resources committee, has been named to the new sub-committee set to investigate the plague of earthquakes affecting Wise, Parker and Tarrant Counties. One can’t help but wonder why him? He failed the people of his district once already. How can he be trusted to be a champion to them now? In February of 2013, King was a guest panel member, along with State Senators Rodney Ellis and Carlos Uresti and State Representative Van Taylor on a discussion forum titled “Drilling Down: The Fracking Boom and the Texas Legislature.” In a video posted of the event (http:// stateimpact.npr.org/texas/2013/03/05/ earthquakes-or-seismic-activity-lawmakers-on-drillings-unintended-byproducts/) Phil King was caught saying some shocking things when asked about earthquakes and industry related practices such as fracking and deep well disposal. Bottom line and what this means is that our representative, Phil King, was warned almost a year before the Azle/ Boyd area earthquakes that started in Oct./Nov. 2013, that the fracking process and injection wells did indeed cause earthquakes. Mr. King let a year go – one legislative session where he was on the energy resources committee and could have put forth a bill for stronger regulations of injection wells go by and he let his own people live with a ticking time bomb. Now he's in reactive mode that will take at least another year before he will begin to give answers to his constituents. Now what answers will they be? We victims here in North Texas are counting on some “people” results. Is Phil King the guy that will look into the eyes of our affected men, women, children, and elderly whom are living with anguish and hopelessness while begging for answers and assurances that they won't lose all that they have and say “I understand and I’m on your side”? Will he be the leader for us that will take a moment of his time to feel our fear? I think not; for me he’s already proven himself. Tracy Smith Decatur

Report proposes paths toward water security

tate Comptroller Susan Combs on Jan. 14 released “Texas Water Report: Going Deeper For The Solution,” a study of water issues Texas faces, and a set of recommendations. “Texas has been prone to cycles of drought for centuries and there is no reason to expect that basic pattern to change,” Combs said in bringing attention to the report. “Yet our state has changed and its booming population and economy are creating an increasingly unquenchable demand for water,” she added. Available now at the comptroller’s web site (cpa.state.tx.us) the report also explains the $2 billion in new funding for water projects approved Nov. 5 by voters in a constitutional amendment. Voter approval was a positive step, Combs said, adding, “We need a revolution in water technology. We need a breakthrough in this field, and some of our state funding should be used for innovative technologies

which increase conservation.” In the report, Combs recommends: • A “prize framework” to be established by the Legislature, “to reward those who develop proven new, cheap STATE sources of CAPITAL drinking water.” • Cost-ef- HIGHLIGHTS fective supplements to res- Ed Sterling ervoirs and aquifers. • A grant program to provide assistance to local water authorities “including but not limited to” cities, counties, river authorities, water conservation districts and municipal utility districts that achieve “meaningful and verifiable increases in water effi-

On how to know when you need a timeout

watched parts of both NFL conference championship games yesterday. In a couple of weeks I’ll watch the Super Bowl. It should be a good game. At least the advertisers are hoping so. By the way, I read a recent report from the Harvard Business Review that said 80 percent of Super Bowl ads fail to increase purchases or purchasing intent. Makes you wonder about those big bucks those advertisers are spending. But I digress… One thing that you notice in these big games is the strategic use of the timeout. Each team gets three time outs per half.

There are additional time outs that may be called by the offi cials. I started pondering (my long-time readers know where this is going) about a great question of life: How do you know you need a timeout? Timeouts are called when you need a few extra moments to think strategically. The coach may call a timeout to discuss a specifi c play to run at this moment. Sometimes, we need to pause long enough to think through our next step. Timeouts are called when there is confusion on the fi eld. The play clock is winding down. The players are out of position.

Slavery in early Texas, Part 4:

ester G. Bugbee wrote in The Political Science Quarterly, vol. III, No. 3, 1898, about the history of slavery in Texas. “As there had been no discussion of the matter in the junta prior to the writing of this letter, and as during the discussion the bill never received the form mentioned by the letter, the state of affairs referred to by Austin is most probably accounted for by the supposition that there was a warm debate in the committee before the subject came up in the junta. “At any rate, Austin seems to have been unduly despondent, for he gained almost as much as he hoped for perhaps because of his never-ceasing representations to every member of the junta. The completed colonization law was promulgated by the Emperor on January 4, 1823. “It was annulled after the overthrow of Iturbide; but, by special decree of the new government, Austin's grant was confi rmed and he was allowed

to go forward with its settlement under the provisions of the annulled law. “Thus it was that the government of Mexico, while all buoyant with the hopes born of the Revolution and moved by theories of the equality and brotherhood of man, authorized the introduction of Negro slavery into one of its fairest provinces, while it deluded itself with the belief that it was providing for the almost immediate extermination of the abhorred institution. “In the mean time the Texas fever had spread rapidly through most of the slave states of the American Union, and immigration to that province became everywhere the topic of common conversation. When Austin returned to the United States, in 1821, from his exploring tour through Texas, he found nearly one hundred letters from the neighborhood of his old home in Missouri awaiting him at Natchitoches. “His partner wrote him from New Orleans that you and your colony excite more interest than the assembled sages of the

nation." Many propositions reached h i m f r o m m e n who desired to become s u b HISTORICAL c o n HIGHLIGHTS tractors a n d Laurie Moseley who offered to introduce bodies of settlers ranging in number from ten to three hundred. Austin was elated. He addressed a letter to the governor of Texas, asking that his grant be enlarged and that all restrictions as to the number of his colonists be removed. “The great interest in the Texas colony, which was rapidly spreading throughout a large portion of the United States, also assumed a practical form. Several vessels sailed from New Orleans during the winter of 1821-22, bearing colonists and supplies; it is known that

one of these vessels had on board sixty settlers, and another a few more than twenty. A great many immigrants came by land from Natchitoches. “Camps sprang up along the Colorado and the Brazos, and the prospect seemed fair that a province would be peopled and civilized in a day. But Austin's long absence in Mexico, together with a number of disastrous events in Texas, served to discourage the settlers; and when he came back from the capital in 1823, he found that a large number of his followers had returned home. “Unfavorable reports as to the government of Mexico, and particularly as to adverse slavery legislation, had also become current in the United States, and immigration had almost wholly ceased. Austin's return, however, brought revived hope; confi dence was restored, and before the end of 1824 he had the satisfaction of seeing all but a very few of the three hundred families in possession of their land. The success of the colony was assured. “The question of slavery,

Mexican law varied on immigration of slaves

however, was by no means fi nally disposed of by the decree of Iturbide's junta, which allowed American immigrants to bring their slaves into Texas. The Mexican people had still to speak. The national constitution, which might dispose of the matter was yet to be adopted; and, after the federal form of government was determined upon, the framing of the state constitution and of the state colonization law offered other opportunities for the destruction of the institution in Texas. “The Congress which Iturbide had dispersed in October, 1822, reassembled the following March and remained in session till October 30, 1823. It made only one provision affecting slavery. By decree of October 14, the province of Itsmo was created and opened to foreigners. Immigrants were allowed to bring their slaves, but a distinct warning was probably intended in an otherwise unnecessary clause, which said that they should be subject to whatever laws might be made in future relative to such property.

“The Constituent Congress which framed the Mexican constitution met in November, 1823. A decree of July 13, 1824, left no room for doubt as to the attitude of that body towards at least one phase of the slavery question. It prohibited the slave trade, domestic and foreign, in the most positive terms. “Infractions of the law were to be punished with the greatest severity: any vessel engaged in this traffi c, which brought slaves to Mexico, was to be confi scated with its cargo; and the owner, purchaser, captain, master and pilot were to be condemned to a year's imprisonment. Slaves brought into the country by such trade recovered their freedom the moment they touched Mexican soil. A suspension of penalties for six months was, however, declared in favor of those colonists who might wish to land slaves in the recently created province of Itsmo.” Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

SHS premieres Broadway Seven Brides classic Jan. 26 By Natalie GeNtry The Fine Arts Department at Springtown High School has been extraordinarily busy for the past month as they prepare for the Jan. 26 premiere of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Every production requires hours of coordination, construction and rehearsals, but the very nature of a musical compounds each aspect. Hours have been spent on set, lighting, costumes, choreography, singing and memorizing lines. “This is one of the largest productions we’ve ever done,” said Susan Davis, theater arts teacher at SHS. The play follows the high-energy escapades of Adam Pontipee, and his new wife Milly, as they help Adam’s rip-roaring six brothers search for loving wives of their own. Advance tickets for the play are on sale now for the discounted prices of $5 for adults and $2 for students and can be purchased at the SHS theater office, SISD Central office, the Chamber of Commerce office, and the SISD Fine Arts office. Tickets sold at the performances will be $8 for Students at SHS have been hard at work rehearsing for the Jan. 26 premiere of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers. Here, stu- adults and $4 for students.

Nelson, Alvis earn Optimist honors By Mark k. CaMPBell The Springtown Optimist Club met Jan. 21 and gave the monthly Texan and Texanne of the Month awards to a pair of Springtown High School juniors. Jarrod Nelson was the Texan choice while Sarah Alvis took the Texanne certificate. Nelson is active in athletics and band. As a linebacker, he was part of the bi-district winning Porcupine football squad. Playing the saxophone, Nelson is a vital cog in the Sound of Springtown. In his sophomore year, the SHS marching band reached the state finals. This year’s SOS squad achieved a Superior rating. During summertime two-aday football practices, Nelson would also head to lengthy band practices in between. All of Nelson’s classes are AP (advanced placement) and his grade point average is 99.857. He is continuing his athletic career by participating as a member of the SHS powerlifting team. Nelson is an active member of the Texas Association of Future Educators, teaching math and science lessons at the elementary school level. He plans on attending TCU

and earning a degree in business-accounting. Alvis is currently No. 5 in her graduating Class of 2015 with a GPA of 101.5. She is an active member of Parker County 4-H and has won numerous awards in competitions. Alvis discovered she has a knack for extemporaneous speaking and is part of the SHS debate team. She won a competition in Paradise and finished second in another which propels her to a state event. Debate factors into her future as well. She plans to attend Texas A&M, join the debate team there, and get a double major in communications and political science. Eventually, she hopes to start her own law firm. At SHS, Alvis was named Student of the Year in Pre-AP World History. Fluent in Spanish, she, the SHS club historian, also plans on studying abroad – which will help with her hobby of collecting foreign currency. She paints, too. Alvis creates graphite drawings and paintings in oil. She took first place at the Texas State Fair in the junior division with a graphite seascape.

Movie Man

Thursday, January 23, 2014

Spy reboot worth the wait only for die hard fans Jack Ryan: Shadow Recruit broke the record for the trailer the Movie Man saw the most times. It began running way back in the summer of 2013, heralding a Christmastime release. Every fi lm seemingly played the JR:SR coming attraction. Then, out of the blue in the fall, an announcement came that the movie was getting bumped in to the cinematic death pit of January/February (unless you’re a horror movie; they seem to do quite well in January). Some JR:SR trailers played with the “coming to theaters at Christmas” tag, even after the delay announcement. The surprise of a major fi lm getting bumped was lessened somewhat by the notice that George Clooney’s The Monuments Men was getting tossed from December to February – a George Clooney movie! About the film Usually, when a movie gets moved from a specifi c release date, something is wrong. (Those dates are heavily researched and locked-in well in advance.) Sometimes, the reason for the moving of a picture is valid. It now looks like Titanic (Movie Man No. 212, an 8) really did need more post-production time; hence its bumping from the summer of 1997 to that Christmas. But it’s a rarity when that’s the reason for a well-publicized picture to be jettisoned. Usually it’s because the preview audiences hated it. Or detested the ending and another is shot, pushing back the release date. Sometimes studios know they’ve a major dud on their hands and try to fi nd a rare lull in the calendar – usually January or, especially, February – where they might make back a few million bucks before word

gets out. And now here’s JR:SR. It stars a hot actor (Chris Pine), a popular actress (Keira Knightley, from the Pirates of the Caribbean series), and an older actor who looks like he’s putting together some sort of twilight comeback (Kevin Costner). Throw in the director of 2011’s Thor (Kenneth Branagh [also a top tier actor]; MM #929, 7) and JR:SR looked can’t-miss. But something was clearly off – hence the delay. Pine is the fourth person to portray author Tom Clancy’s world-saving CIA analyst. Alec Baldwin (1990, The Hunt for Red October) was fi rst followed by Harrison Ford (1992, Patriot Games and 1994 Clear and Present Danger [MM #37 and a ‘+’ in the ancient nonnumbering days, now a 7]) then Ben Affl eck (2002,The Sum of All Fears [MM #459 6]). Those earlier three certainly shone in the part of Ryan. And Pine’s OK – but just OK. And maybe that’s the concern: What was conceived as a rebooting of a potential huge franchise came out just OK. The plot (spoilers) After seeing 9/11 on TV, college student Jack Ryan (Pine) joins the Marines. He gets shot down in a helicopter. While recuperating back in the States, he falls for Cathy (Knightley). Watching silently as Pine tries to heal is Thomas (Costner). Eventually the duo meet and Costner, knowing Ryan’s exceptional analytical skills, convinces him to come work with him in the CIA. However, Ryan can’t tell anyone, even eventual live-in girlfriend Knightley. Working among the drones on Wall Street, Pine discovers what he believes is mischief in Russia. He gets the OK to

Churches are important part of area history By Natalie GeNtry The gathering of congregations and the construction of churches are an integral part of the early history of many communities. Our little section of Texas is no different. As settlers began to move to the area in the mid-1850s,

churches began to form. First United Methodist Church of Springtown The first church in Parker County was organized at Goshen when a “meeting house” was erected in 1854. Spearheaded by the Rev. James Pleasant Tackett, the

church worshipped in the log cabin until 1866 when the Union church was built a short distance away. This building housed worshippers who were Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterians, and other denominations for a number of years. In 1866, the Methodists completed building their own church on the site of the current First United Methodist Church building. The church bell from 1886 is still housed in the church’s steeple.

Creek Baptist Church was organized in 1867 by the Reverend J.C. Powers. Worship services were first held in a log cabin, and in the 1870s a larger log cabin, was built on the banks of Walnut Creek. In the late 1880s the congregation moved to a site south of the second log cabin and built a frame sanctuary. Adjacent property was acquired in 1947, and has been the site of several buildings.

Ash Creek Baptist Church of Azle Ash Creek Baptist Church Walnut Creek Baptist Church was organized in 1871, when of Reno The congregation of Walnut 48 charter members, headed by

Reverend J.C. Powers, gathered. Stories say that Reverend Powers preached with a gun beside his Bible and men kept rifles on their knees to protect against Indian raids during services. A meeting house was built at this site in 1891. During the summers, brush arbors were built and prayer meetings were held on the grounds. In 1965 a new auditorium was built and the original structure used as a fellowship hall.

Episcopal Church. The church is located on Park Street in a community that formed on a land gifted from J.J. Jarvis. The simple cinder block chapel was rebuilt in 1958 and sits on part of 50 acres that was given to Charles Young and Allen Prince in 1886. The church changed its name to the Christian Methodist Episcopal church in 1966.

Several area church structures pre-date 1900 ■ SEVERAL, FROM PAGE ONE.

A new building was constructed in 1901 at the current location on the corner of 5th and Main Street. However, as the congregation grew the fi rst building was torn down and a new building was erected in 1952. Additions were made in 1960, 1978, 1980, 1999 and 2006 to accommodate the evergrowing congregation and to provide space for varied ministries. Azle Christian Church

The Reverend Will A. Stephens and 15 charter members organized this church in 1895. They then purchased an abandoned building from the United Brethren Church and secured a parsonage. Sunday School classes began in 1930. An education building was erected in 1949-51 followed by a new brick sanctuary in 1960. The congregation was renamed First United Methodist Church in 1968, following the merger of the Evangelical UnitMethodist ed Brethren and the Methodist denominations.

The congregation of Azle Christian Church grew from 14 charter members in 1890. Worship services were conducted here in the 1880s on land donated by Dr. Azle Stewart, for whom the town was named. In 1893 the ﬁrst sanctuary was completed. Before that, the congregation met under a brush arbor. Additions were later made to the original structure and a new sanctuary was built in 1974.
