Realignment one of weirdest ever District similar, but football and hoops foes, regions are different BY MARK K. CAMPBELL Even before the Feb. 3 University Interscholastic League announcement that heralded the redrawing of Texas districts, things were different. The UIL had released in advance for the fi rst time, the numbers cut-off for every classification. Plus, a new classifi cation had been added, 6A, bumping each one up a notch – 5A became 6A, 4A became 5A, etc. And lower classifi cations were divided into divisions, i.e., Big School (Div. I) and Little School (Div. II). So, Springtown knew in advance that football and basketball would be playing in 4A, Div. I. But just who would their district mates be? A curve ball Well, that answer ended up being unique, one that had never happened to PLEASE SEE DISTRICT, PAGE 3A.

Search for key SISD positions underway BY MARK K. CAMPBELL It’s tough enough hiring a head football coach and athletic director. And fi nding a high school principal is no easy chore either. Springtown ISD superintendent Mike Kelley is trying to do both right now. Kelley said the “immediacy” of a football coach looms for that hire, but he is working on fi lling Springtown High School principal Chris Pennington’s slot, too. Current athletic director/head football coach Brad Turner locked in the gridiron schedule after the Feb. 3 realignment. The incoming coach will see a district similar to what SISD played previously. Finding prospects Kelley said he received as many as 60 applications for the AD/head football coach position, some from veterans and plenty from young coaches with big dreams. Both that position and the principal opening were well advertised, Kelley said. “Our district recently adopted one of the largest and most popular applicant tracking and recruiting systems in the United States, AppliTrack,” the superintendent said. This system allows for coordination through the Education Service Center Region 11, he noted. But other factors work in fi nding quality applicants. “The reality for these two positions is that word-of-mouth is going to generate a signifi cant number of applications. Even prior to posting, I received

quite a few inquiries from candidates who have some prior knowledge about our community and school.” Kelley said several exceptional candidates have applied and he had set up interviews for the week ending Feb. 7 for the AD position. Giving notice One tricky part of the process requires some discretion, Kelley said, noting that he was careful that reviews of hopefuls initially be “private and discreet.” He added, “Many of the principals and coaches who express interest in these openings will already be in good situations where they are, and I’d like to be sure that nothing we do causes a good candidate hesitation to apply.” Internal candidates are also being considered, Kelley said. Community input Kelley said the community will “have the opportunity to provide input regarding what they believe are critical characteristics. “Obviously, these two hires will be very signifi cant, and it’s important to me that I have a good understanding of what our stakeholders hope to see through this transition.” Coming to Springtown is a prized opportunity, the superintendent said. “These are both great jobs, and will present the opportunity to work with a terrifi c staff as well as outstanding students and athletes,” Kelley said. He wants to fi nd the right people for the jobs. “We want to be patient to ensure that we make great hires for both positions,” he said.

BY NATALIE GENTRY Brian Lee Sporn, 40 – a tattoo artist from Springtown – pleaded guilty on Jan. 17 to a charge of violating tattoo/body piercing regulations for tattooing a 14-year-old girl in 2012. Even though he had permission from the teen’s mother, state law prohibits a tattoo on a person younger than 18 years old. Sporn was sentenced to one year probation, 40 hours of community service, and must pay $467 in fi nes and court costs. The mother – Lydie Krenzke Mathers, 32, of Springtown – also faces charges.

According to reports, Sporn tattooed the letters “SS” on the girl’s leg in the summer of 2012. Reports indicate that Sporn Brian Lee Sporn, of pleaded was Mather’s fi ancé at the Springtown, time and knew that the girl guilty to misdemeanor violating tattoo/body was a juvenile. In addition, the work was piercing regulation for not performed in a licensed his work on a teen. tattooing facility. Mathers said she also tattooed her daughter that summer. One design tattooed on the girl by Mathers is a heart with wings on her side; the other is a Care Bear on her hip. According to Parker County Attorney, John Forest, two misdemeanor charges of violating tattoo/body piercing regulations are pending against Mathers. The charges are Class B misdemeanors and a conviction carries a sentence of 180 days in jail and a $2,500 fine. According to a Parker County Sheriff’s Department news release, an anonymous tip initiated an investigation in the current case.

Safe touching, confusing touching, and unsafe touching are terms utilized by Play It Safe to illustrate personal safety and boundaries. The websites says that there are multiple concepts that are reinforced throughout the program. First, the program acknowledges that most children only experience safe touches and most adults would never touch a child in an unsafe or confusing way. Second, it is essential that children tell an adult if they are unsure of a situation, or if they have been abused in some manner and it is sometimes necessary to tell more than one adult to get the help that is needed. Finally, the program emphasizes that the abuse is “never the child’s fault.” PLEASE SEE ABUSE, PAGE 3A.

Metal thieves at large in Springtown Parker County Sheriff’s Criminal Investigations Division (CID) is investigating two cases of theft occurring this past weekend. The first incident was reported Sunday, Feb. 2, around 7:30 a.m. in the 100 block of Rainbow Trail in Springtown near Highway 199. The complainant told deputies that sometime during the night, a meter box had been damaged

and about 150 feet of aluminum wiring had been taken. The suspects apparently cut a section of PVC pipe containing the wire in order to gain access. The damage and loss of property equaled about $2,000. The second incident was reported a few hours later the same day. Shortly after 10 a.m. in the 100 block of Land of Goshen – also in Springtown – an em-

ployee of Patterson UTI reported several thousand dollars’ worth of materials had been stolen from the complex. The suspects entered the property by cutting a fence. The employee stated a 50-pound copper plate – valued at $3,000 – was taken. The damage to the fence resulted in an additional $1,500 loss. Anyone with information

about these crimes is urged to contact the Parker County Sheriff’s Office at (817) 5948845, or the Parker County Crime Stoppers hotline at (817) 599-5555. All Crime Stoppers tipsters may remain anonymous. Parker County Crime Stoppers will pay up to a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest of the suspects involved.

Quake concerns continue amid… a bubblin’ crude? by CarLa NOah STuTSMaN Although the ground-shaking seems to have slowed down, area residents still have concerns about the recent string of 30 quakes in 60 days. The last quake to occur in the area was a 3.0 magnitude tremor Tuesday, Jan. 28, at 11:54 a.m. Its epicenter was calculated to be almost perfectly centered in a rectangle formed by FM 730 North, Peden Road, Liberty School Road and Moran Road, just north of the dead end on Schantile Drive. However, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) reported a magnitude 2.3 quake Sunday, Feb. 2 at 1:32 a.m. just east of Benbrook Lake. That quake’s epicenter is roughly halfway between the eastern shore of the lake and Old Granbury Road. A view of that area on Google Earth reveals mostly barren land in a one-mile radius of the epicenter – except for half a dozen oil and/or gas drilling pads. Hector Garcia of Reno doesn’t know what to think about the oily water that is bubbling up out of the ground in his backyard. Garcia and his wife, Alondra, built a new home on an acre of land about nine months ago. While clearing the back of the property recently, Garcia stepped into an area and quickly began sinking. “I was in above my ankles before I knew it,” Garcia said, shovel in hand. “It just seems to bubble up, and everywhere you dig, it fills with water mixed with oil.”

The 2014 Miss Springtown pageant, a girls-only event, is set for Feb. 22 at the SHS auditorium. The four categories for competition are Miss Springtown, Miss Baby Springtown, Miss Princess, and Miss Junior Springtown. The Miss Springtown winner receives a $750 scholarship. For more information, contact Wendy Dusek at 817-658-6554 or at wdusek09@ gmail.com.

The 11th annual Springtown Optimist Club Pancake Supper is set for Thursday, March 6 from 4:30 to 7 p.m. at the Springtown High School cafeteria. The cost is $5 and includes pancakes, bacon, sausage, coffee, tea, and orange juice. Children 5 and under eat free. The event also includes a silent auction. All funds raised go toward scholarships for local students.

Pointing to his lateral lines, Garcia says he doesn’t believe they are the problem, especially with a septic system that’s less than a year old. He’s checked with neighbors, as well, and so far, no one can come up with a solution. Garcia fears underground pipelines and/or horizontal drilling pipes may have broken due to the recent earthquakes, causing water mixed with oil to rise to the surface. Even in the drought-like conditions the area has experienced, Garcia says the area in his backyard – only about two feet by three feet – is always soggy. Garcia said he planned to talk with Reno city officials about his concerns and has left a message with the Texas Railroad Commission.

It was like no other with different districts and different regions. That means the next two school years will be mighty interesting and unique – not to mention having a new football coach to lead the Porcupines.

The content of the program matures with the age of the children, so each year’s program builds on the last. Addressing parent concerns “By nature of the topic, these are uncomfortable conversations to have with students.” Thomas said. In consideration of this fact a letter was sent home informing parents of the program giving them the option to opt out if they did not want their student to participate. Out of the 560 Kindergarten through fourth grade students

attending Goshen Creek, approximately two dozen students opted out of the program. “I think it’s very likely that almost all our parents have talked to their children about what is and is not appropriate conduct regarding this topic, but that it’s also practical that we reinforce those efforts at school,” said SISD Superintendent Mike Kelley More information about the Play It Safe program can be found at www.playitsafe.org.

Management of Myelofibrosis Myelofibrosis is a bone marrow condition that affects the normal growth and assembly of the body’s blood cells. Bone marrow is the spongy tissue inside the hollow areas of some bones. The marrow is important because it helps produce new blood cells. In myelofibrosis, the bone marrow becomes scarred and not spongy, due to a genetic mutation that causes a very low amount of blood cells and too many white blood cells. As the condition gets worse, symptoms of low blood cells such as feeling tired easily, sluggish, easy bruising, night sweats, enlarged liver, enlarged spleen, and bone pain are often observed. The genetic mutation of a protein called JAK2 affects blood cells during myelofibrosis. A person’s physician will determine the best treatment plan based on the symptoms that a person has. Ruxolitinib (Jakafi) is the only FDAapproved medication available to help target the JAK2 gene mutation in myelofibrosis. Clinical studies have shown that this medication may reduce an enlarged spleen. To help treat severe anemia, a condition characterized by low red blood cells, certain iron-containing medications may help increase iron production. Over-the-counter iron supplements containing ferrous fumarate and ferrous sulfate may increase the number of red blood cells.

They fix All Terrain Vehicles which fits in with owner Mike's motto: "If it's got wheels and tires and nuts and bolts, we can fix it." But they offer way more than just vehicle repair and maintenance. The array of repairs Motley Automotive performs is stunning, from inside and out, anything under the hood, and anything under the roof. A partial list of automotive options – oil changes; brakes; front ends; transmissions; motor swaps; sensors; window motors; radios; tires; timing belts/ chains; head gaskets; and radiators. They also make almost any repair on a motorcycle, including tires. Plus riding gear and apparel available the same day or next day. Motley Automotive inspects vehicles and motorcycles. They also fix air-conditioners whether that means replacing components or recharging a system. The pros at Motley Automotive have the capability to "flash" (aka update) your vehicle's computer. Mike likens it to updating a phone where certain problems are discovered and the vehicle can be made to run smoother. Few shops offer that option right now, he said.

A complete diagnostics testing procedure is also available; once the correct code is discovered that's causing the "check engine" light – or any dashboard light – to come on, Motley Automotive can fix it pronto. The company also offers a full line of Amsoil products. But Motley Automotive is much more than vehicle specific. They are an authorized UPS Shipping Outlet and sell packing materials, boxes, bubble wrap, and peanuts.

When you’re up to your ears in unwritten words

here will never be enough time to fully cover your passion. Whether you love travel or music or astronomy, you’ll never get it all in. You’ll never see every beautiful site on this planet or hear every song or see every star. But that doesn’t mean you shouldn’t try. I’m a words guy. Some people love numbers or paint or wood or carburetors. I do words. And there’s never enough time to get everything written down. Watching a movie about reclusive writer J.D. Salinger, the author was penning a letter that included the

(Like “I’m up to my I have pages of notes for a book of ears in unwritten words.”) 365 one-page, stand-alone stories –

each readable in less than a minute – one for every day of the year. (That’s a lot of short-short stories; I’m looking at a 2020 completion date.) If we travel, I write down what we did daily, trips to Hawaii and Mexico carefully recorded and stored. I even have a screenplay that I was sure was going to make me rich. I kept tinkering with it and finally finished it 10 years later in the late 1980’s. Looking at it now is almost embarrassing. The screenplay resides in a bottom drawer (the very bottom) with scores of other stories (not all of them as bad as At College, thankfully). Then there’s this paper. This is column No. 1,110, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of other words

typed here the past two decades-plus in regular stories. So many words, so little time! I’ll never get them all down, of course. They are everywhere! They fill my brain, waking me up at 3 a.m., demanding to be jotted down or, when they gang up, compelling me to get out of bed if I want some peace. Musicians are like this. And scientists. And chefs. And pastors. You, like them, have something you really, really care about. So don’t fret if you can’t get it all in – all you can do is all you can do. (Ooh, I’m writing that down...) Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and still highlights unknown words in paperbacks.

This is how to avoid foot in mouth disease

e put his foot in mouth.” I was pondering that phrase this morning and wondering about its origin. I did some internet research and found that there is no definitive answer. One article suggested: “One possible point of origin for this phrase traces it back to Irish Parliamentarian Sir Boyle Roche, who was sort of an 18th-century equivalent to (former U.S. Vice President) Dan Quayle. Roche once said, ‘Half the lies our opponents tell about me are not true!’ Someone with a much firmer grasp of the English language remarked of Roche, ‘Every time he opens his mouth, he puts his foot in it,’ and a

phrase was born.” November. Dr. G’s MornSound good to me.

Now, if I were to say that people who read my newspaper column are not as savvy as those who read my blogs, that would be an example of foot in mouth. Or if I were to say that people who read only blogs are disconnected from what is happening in their local community, that would be an example of foot in mouth. It seems to me that one common symptom of foot in mouth is a judgmental attitude and a lack of sensitivity to those who will hear. By “sensitivity,” I don’t mean the politically correct sensitivity that is concerned that someone might be offended. I

mean being aware of people, seeing the value of each person and the unique contribution he or she brings to the ongoing conversation of living in community. Psalm 34:1 reminds me that the best things I can say are based on observation of what God is doing among people whose lives matter to Him. If we can’t find something praiseworthy before we criticize… …maybe we should stick a foot in there until we can.

What did Abraham Lincoln say, Part 2: A simple man

e looked at Lincoln as a political man, but these quotes help you understand the simple man –

Abraham Lincoln. “When you reach the end of your rope, tie a knot and hang on.” “People are just as happy as they make up their minds to be.” “It is better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to open one's mouth and remove all doubt.” “I will prepare and some day my chance will come.” “Those who look for the bad in people will surely find it.” “I'm a success today because I had a friend who believed in me and I didn't have the heart to let him down.” “And in the end it is not the years in your life that count, it's the life in your years.” “If I were two-faced, would I be wearing this one?” “Success is going from failure to failure without losing your enthusiasm.” “How many legs does a dog have if you call the tail a leg? Four. Calling a tail a leg doesn't make it a leg.” “Whatever you are, be a good one.” “It's not me who can't keep a secret.

“I have come to the conclusion It's the people I tell that can't.” “The best thing about the future is never again to think of marrying, and for this reason, I can never be satisfied that it comes one day at a time."” “Character is like a tree and reputa- with anyone who would be blockhead tion its shadow. The shadow is what enough to have me.” “Give me six hours to chop down we think it is and the tree is the real a tree and I will spend the first four thing.” “Tact: the ability to describe others sharpening the axe.” “You cannot escape the responsibilas they see themselves.” “I am a slow walker, but I never ity of tomorrow by evading it today.” “I laugh because I must not cry, that walk back.” is all, that is all.” “I do not think much of a “Die when I may, I want man who is not wiser today it said by those who knew than he was yesterday.” me best, that I always “Things may come to plucked a thistle and plantthose who wait, but only ed a flower where I thought the things left by those who a flower would grow.” hustle.” “The better part of one's “Always bear in mind life consists of his friendthat your own resolution to ships.” succeed is more important “Am I not destroying than any one thing.” my enemies when I make “We can complain beHISTORICAL friends of them?” cause rose bushes have “To sin by silence, when thorns, or rejoice because HIGHLIGHTS they should protest, makes thorn bushes have roses.” “Every man's happiness Laurie Moseley cowards of men.” “He has a right to critiis his own responsibility.” “I have always found that mercy cize, who has a heart to help.” Abraham Lincoln was born Febbears richer fruits than strict justice.” “I am not bound to win, but I am ruary 12, 1809, the second child of bound to be true.

County, Kentucky (now LaRue County). Quotes about his family are: “All that I am or ever hope to be, I owe to my angel mother.” “My father taught me to work, but not to love it. I never did like to work, and I don't deny it. I'd rather read, tell stories, crack jokes, talk, laugh – anything but work.” “No man is poor who has a Godly mother.” “You have to do your own growing no matter how tall your grandfather was.” Lincoln made these statements about his religion: “Sir, my concern is not whether God is on our side; my greatest concern is to be on God's side, for God is always right.” “I have been driven many times upon my knees by the overwhelming conviction that I had no where else to go. My own wisdom and that of all about me insufficient for that day."” “When I do good, I feel good. When I do bad, I feel bad. That's my religion.” “The Lord prefers common-looking people. That is why he makes so many of them.” “I can see how it might be possible for a man to look down upon the earth

and be an atheist, but I cannot conceive how a man could look up into the heavens and say there is no God.” Lincoln's paternal grandfather and namesake, Abraham, had moved his family from Virginia to Kentucky, where he was ambushed and killed in an Indian raid in 1786, as his children, including Lincoln's father Thomas, looked on. Thomas was left to make his own way on the frontier. Lincoln's mother, Nancy, was the daughter of Lucy Hanks, and was born in West Virginia. Lucy moved with Nancy to Kentucky. Nancy Hanks married Thomas, who became a respected citizen. He bought or leased several farms. The family attended a Separate Baptists Church, which had restrictive moral standards and opposed alcohol, dancing, and slavery. Thomas enjoyed considerable status in Kentucky. By the time his son Abraham was born, Thomas owned two 600-acre farms, several town lots, livestock, and horses. He was among the richest men in the county. However, in 1816, Thomas lost all of his land in court cases because of faulty property titles. Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION BETTER NEWSPAPER CONTEST

AWARD WINNER 2013

OPINION

Thursday, February 6, 2013

President's annual national address draws reactions

ov. Rick Perry and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst posted similar takes on President Obama’s annual state of the union address, televised live on Jan. 28. Perry said, “…Texas has shown that the way to economic prosperity and significant job growth is through individual freedoms and the free market. Tonight, we saw a president with the same old agenda and no real idea on how to govern.” Dewhurst suggested the president “should take a page out of the playbook for the Texas Miracle and cut taxes, slash spending, and reduce the regulations that kill jobs.” In contrast, freshman U.S. Rep. Pete Gallego, D-Alpine, on Jan. 29 posted his reaction, referring to the president’s speech “a call to action” that “requires us to take steps forward, and we must do so together. Though trust is lacking,

our courage must not fail us. If we fail today to grow the bipartisan momentum developed over recent weeks, we will miss a critical opportunity. To move the ball down the field, we all have to play on the same team. I will continue to play on the right team — America’s team.” In other news, on Jan. 31, Perry reacted to the State Department’s environmental impact study on the Keystone XL pipeline, a conduit being built to move petroleum-bearing tar sands from western Canada to terminals in Nederland, Texas, near Port Arthur. “If, as the president said in his state of the union speech, he truly wants this to be a year of action, there would be no better way to kick it off than authorizing construction of this important project.” Entities reach agreement The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency on Jan. 29 announced it had reached an agreement with the Texas Com-

mission on Environmental Quality for approval of Texas’ Flexible Permits Program for air pollution.

The EPA, however, rejected the rules and disapproved the state’s Flexible Permits Program in 2010, prompting Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott to file a legal challenge, asserting that the EPA failed to act within the allotted time period. In 2012, the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of

Appeals rejected the EPA’s disapproval of the program. TCEQ Chairman Bryan W. Shaw said the agreement, while conditional, “provides a resolution to implement both the court’s opinion and the necessary legal requirements for EPA approval.” Shaw added that at a Feb. 12 meeting TCEQ commissioners would consider proposing rule amendments to gain the EPA’s full approval later in 2014.

Tips to avoid being audited by the tax man In 2013, the Internal Revenue Service audited one out of every 104 tax returns. If you made more than $1 million, your chances of being audited was 10.85 percent. Those with total income under $200,000 had just a 0.88 percent chance of an audit. According to certified financial planner Rick Rodgers of Rodgers & Associates, while some audits are random, others are selected for a variety of reasons. Here are four of them: 1. Exceptionally large itemized deductions. If you take deductions that exceed the “statistical norm” for specific state or areas, it’s a red flag to the IRS. 2. Self-employment income.

The IRS believes this is the primary source of unreported income. Self-employed taxpayers are audited far more often than those who receive a traditional W-2 form. 3. Large business expenses. Big deductions for business meals, travel, and entertainment catch the IRS’ eye. Also, claiming 100 percent of a vehicle for business use is “a huge red flag.” 4. Claiming a home office. The IRS often zeroes in on taxpayers who say they operate a business from their home. This deduction “greatly increases” the possibility of an audit. If the tax savings are minimal, it’s recommended to avoid this deduction entirely to avoid scrutiny.

Ladies ready for another postseason Bi-district foe yet to be determined; Dauenhauer reaches 1,000 career points

By maRK K. camPBeLL For the second year in a row, the Lady Porcupine basketball team emerged from 6-3A as the runners-up. So it’s onward to the postseason once again for Springtown (14-10, 8-2). If only SHS knew its foe... Thanks to a Vernon win in the Lady Lions’ season finale, District 5-3A’s standings remain unsettled. The Lady Porcupines will see either Vernon or Graham in bidistrict. Just where and when won’t be determined until that play-in game in 5-3A Friday, Feb. 7. Springtown coach Susan Croft hopes to play on Monday, Feb. 10 to keep from splitting the crowd with the boys team should the girls’ playoff game be played on Tuesday, Feb. 11. Site options include Olney, Chico, or Bowie but nothing Lady Porcupine Brooklyn Dauenhauer, a junior, scored her 1,000th point at SHS in will be settled until a foe is soSpringtown’s victory at Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis.

lidified, the coach noted. (The Epigraph will Tweet [@ SpringtownEpi] and Facebook [the Springtown Epigraph] all information when it comes available.) To make sure of securing second place, the Lady Porcupines took care of the visiting Lady Rams of Mineral Wells on Jan. 31 – that 58-46 win locked up the slot. Coach Croft said, “We talked

in pregame about what a loss would mean – having to play them again – and the girls came out ready to take care of business.” And how: SHS out-scored Mineral Wells 22-7 in the first quarter. Springtown grabbed 32 defensive rebounds and shot 63 percent from the floor. But Croft said the most impressive stat was Springtown having just 11 fouls. Brooklyn Dauenhauer led with 15 points. Jordan Doremus scored 13 and Taylor Babcock added 8. The regular season ended with a 61-10 blowout of Diamond Hill where the Lady Eagles went scoreless in the first quarter. SHS led 29-0 after just eight minutes. The highlight of the night was Dauenhauer scoring her 1,000th point as a Lady Porcupine. She finished with 17.

Waldrop pins down return to state event Two other Porcupines are alternates By maRK K. camPBeLL Kolyn Waldrop is heading back to the state wrestling tournament. In 2013, the Porcupine became the first Springtown athlete – along with Cole Clifton – to earn a berth at that elite gathering. Waldrop was one of seven SHS athletes who competed at the Region 2 tournament at Frisco Heritage High School Feb. 1. Waldrop eventually won the silver. He advanced to the championship bout but fell in a “heartbreaking decision in the finals,” coach David Brokenshire recalled. “He was winning the match and lost a scramble which caused him to give up four

points; he lost by one,” the coach said. The top four finishers at regional locked down state berths at Garland Feb. 14-15. Taking fifth places athletes as alternates. That’s where Benji Brokenshire and Charlie Emmert ended up. “Each had great tournaments,” Coach Brokenshire said. “Just missing state by one match is hard to take, but they had great seasons.” Benji Brokenshire is a senior while Emmert is a junior. “Charlie will get another shot next year,” the coach said. Two more Porcupines finished sixth, Hunter Robinson and Caleb Plumlee. The former, a sophomore, “is learning each match and has

a lot to look forward to,” the coach said. Plumlee entered the regional tournament with high hopes, having won the district heavyweight title. But he got injured in his semifinal match and had to default his remaining bouts. “He will be fine,” Coach Brokenshire said. “I just didn’t want the shoulder getting any worse.” Gaining valuable experience for 2014, the coach said, were SHS’ other two competitors, Trey Johnson and Caice Clark. As a team, Springtown finished No. 11 out of 45 teams. “That’s not bad for a 3A school against mostly 4A schools,” coach Brokenshire He was the first-ever Porcupine to compete at the state wrestling meet in 2013 and Kolyn Waldrop will do so again Feb. 14-15. Photo by Mark K. Campbell said.

Hoops boys returning to the playoffs This boys’ basketball season is shaping up to look a lot like last year’s. With a thrilling come-frombehind win over Mineral Wells Jan. 31, the Porcupine hoops squad squared the series in 6-3A play. That means, if both the Rams and the Porcupines finished for second, a one-game seeding contest would be played. Just like last season. The Mineral Wells game at the SHS gym was a tale of two halves. The visitors built a big lead, taking a 41-27 advantage by halftime, the upping it to 17 early in the third quarter. But defensive adjustments by SHS coach James Rike’s squad put the clamps on Ram scoring big time. After those 44 points, Mineral Wells got just 5 the rest of the way – and only 1 in the final eight minutes. With SHS tallying 27 in the second half, Springtown claimed a 54-49 victory.

Dylan Ray tied the game at 48 then a Books Pennington put back gave the Porcupines a 50-48 lead with 3:59 left in the game. Heading into the final contest of the regular season, Springtown faces No. 2 in 4A Kennedale. A Porcupine loss to the Wildcats would force that one extra game with the Rams, like last year when Springtown won 7153 in Weatherford. Against Mineral Wells, Caleb Brown’s 13 led the way; he nailed three 3-pointers. Ray scored 10 points while Dawson Meek, strong inside all night, and Jared Green netted 9 each. The Porcupines followed that Ram victory with a 73-35 bashing of Diamond Hill-Jarvis in Fort Worth. Brown smoked the net for 23 points in this one. Zack Burton scored 10 and Kruz Dominguez and Ray got 9 each. The 6-3A finale is Feb. 11 at Dylan Ray (23) and the Porcupines clinched a playoff berth with a victory in Fort Castleberry.

Lady lifters win again Another outing and another piece of first place team hardware for the Lady Porcupine powerlifting team. Springtown Coach Missy Castro said some girls topped their previous best lifts at all three stations. Melissa Perrone was named the Best Lifter. She won her class with a 360-pound squat, a 160-pound bench press, and a 310-pound deadlift. Her total tally was 830 pounds. Other SHS gold medal lifters: Lizeth Melendez (540 total pounds); Alli Roglin (515); Jocelyn Pando (715); Martha Chavez (855); and Tabitha Rogers (715). Lizbeth Melendez took second with 455 pounds. Chayton Seabourn (590) and Kati Roglin (455) finished fourth. Castro said, “I am expecting all my girls to qualify for regionals.”

Movie Man

Thursday, February 6, 2014

Lost baby movie delivers amid minor controversy The Movie Man did what he said he would do; he jumped back to a 2013 movie instead of one of the two boring-looking new releases (That Awkward Moment and Labor Day [the latter already being ridiculed for the “pie-making scene,” an so-inadvertently-bad-it’shorribly-painfully-funny Ghost pottery-making sequence mirroring]). So, the Movie Man took Movie Wife to see the sort of movie that usually gets a small release in America and they found the British, “based on a true story” Philomena. About the film The main attraction for Movie Man and Movie Wife was Judi Dench. They’re fans of Britcoms, older British comedies shown on weekends on PBS. Dench performs in one of the more beloved ones, As Time Goes By. If you ever need the Movie Man at 10 p.m. on a Sunday (unless Sherlock is on), you can fi nd him in front of a TV watching As Time Goes By. Moviegoers might more likely recognize her as M, James Bond’s boss. (If so, you were probably moved at her demise in Skyfall [2012, Movie Man No. 1,008, an 8.]) Others recognize Dench for being a standout in the movie that managed the greatest travesty in winning Best Picture, Shakespeare in Love (1999; somehow it beat out Saving Private Ryan for the top prize). Dench won Best Supporting Actress for playing Queen Elizabeth I, on screen for just eight minutes in four scenes, No. 2 in the record for shortest appearance to win an acting Oscar. (No. 1 is Beatrice Straight’s mere six minutes in 1976’s Network.) The other star of Philomena is Steve Coogan. A comedian, he’s much bigger star overseas than in America, especially with the character Alan Partridge, a DJ. (U.S. folks might know him as Octavius in the

two Night at the Museums or from Tropic Thunder [2008, MM #786, 6]). British movies sometimes manage to storm American shores but not too often. They’re usually relegated to art-houses or limited releases like Philomena. The Movie Man and Movie Wife ventured out for Dench and her nominated role. She’s up for Best Actress and the movie is on the Best Picture list (and Coogan got nods as a producer and writer – actually a fourth nomination is for Original Score). Dench has the best bet for winning. She’s up against Amy Adams (American Hustle [MM #1,070, 7) and Meryl Streep (August, Osage County) – she’ll likely beat both of them. A bit more formidable is Sandra Bullock for Gravity (probably the Best Picture winner) and especially the critic’s favorite, Cate Blanchette for Blue Jasmine. One thing’s for sure: Dench is great. The plot (major spoilers) A young Philomena commits the sin of getting pregnant as a teenager on a one-night stand. The only place an unwed mother in 1950’s Ireland can go is a nunnery. She has the baby then toils for the nuns in their laundry for four years to pay for her sins. Philomena is permitted to see her son for just one hour daily. When her Anthony is two, she sees him taken away, adopted by an American couple. But Philomena (played by Dench in her old age) never forgot her beloved little boy; she carries a photo of him everywhere, even 50 years later. World weary journalist Martin (Coogan) is out of work and pitches writing a story about Philomena searching for her long lost son from so long ago. A newspaper bites. Their search begins at the cruel nunnery where no records were

Movie Man available. But a tip sends them to America where they discover Anthony was successful politically. And gay. And dead, of AIDS. All the while, Dench, from the middle class, and Coogan, privileged, bond. The hunt eventually sends them to the least likely place of all – and a confrontation that brings anger and forgiveness. What works Dench is super. Director Stephen Frears frames her again and again in super close-ups, her lovely, gentle face lined, her eyes watery, wise, and curious. Her occasional vulgarity – she’s a common person – are made more startling when uttered from such a kind, sensitive soul. Coogan, too, is a standout. It’s really a two-person movie, an international road trip. His intellectual journalist scoffs at Dench’s devout Catholic beliefs, a refl ection of the “educated” being too smart for religion. Frears does a great job directing. The muted colors of Ireland are still lovely and he shows beautiful wide vistas to

illustrate just why Dench loves her home country so. And when in America, Dench and Coogan walk among our great Washington D.C. memorials, helping us re-see what great works we take for granted. There is some quietly, chuckle-worthy “veddy British” humor lines and some nice double takes by Coogan to Dench’s simpleness and/or bold statements. Best scene (big spoiler) The duo has been searching for Dench’s son’s lover and fi nally fi nd him.

Wacky weather quiz Already this young 2014, we’ve had temperatures pushing 80 degrees and have dropped to single digits. That’s a bit extreme even for our famously yo-yoing Texas weather. Think you know about how things are outside? Prove it with this North Texas weather quiz: 1. What’s our hottest month? 2. What’s the coldest? 3. What’s the wettest? 4. What’s the driest? 5. Which month has the most clear days? 6. Which month is cloudiest? 7. In what month was the highest temperature recorded? 8. In what month was the lowest temperature recorded? 9. What’s our snowiest month? 10. What month is most likely for a tornado?

1924 when it dropped to 63 degrees. The earliest 100-degree day arrived March 9, 1911. The latest 100-degree day was October 1, 1979. It has never been 100 degrees or higher on June 7; the record is 98 in 2010. It has also never reached 100 degrees on Sept. 24; the record is 98 in 1977.

It has never been 90 degrees in November. (It’s been 89 five times.) It has been 90 degrees in December – once, on the 30th in 1951. Otherwise, since weather recordkeeping began in 1899, every day from June 7 to September 24 has had at least one 100-degree day somewhere along the line.

ANSWERS: 1. July (August is second) 2. January (December is next) 3. May (October is second) 4. August (January is next) 5. August 6. December 7. June (113 degrees on the 26th and 27th in 1980) 8. February (the 12th in 1899, minus 8 degrees) 9. February 10. April Other fun facts: The warmest Christmas Day was 78 degrees in 1922. The warmest New Year’s Day was 82 in 2006. The coldest July 4 came in

With our current weather extremes, these bluebirds don’t know whether to court in early springtime-like sunshine or hunker down from an icy barrage.
