SHS evacuated after suspicious device found Homemade fireworks-stuffed tube discovered in boys’ bathroom By Natalie Gentry Students at Springtown High School were evacuated at approximately noon Feb. 17 once Assistant Principal Kirt Shaw was notified of an unusual object in one of the boys’ restrooms. SISD Superintendent Mike Kelley said, “A student told Mr. Shaw there was something that looked like fireworks in the restroom.” After the discovery, administrators decided it was in everyone’s best interest to evacuate the school while a search was conducted. The object in question turned out to be homemade fireworks constructed with a paper towel roll and duct tape. K-9 units specializing in explosives detection were brought in by the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms

and Explosives (ATF) as well as by Black Creek K-9 Services. The SISD had secured Black Creek’s services at the beginning of the school year for just such emergencies. The search revealed that no other Dance students and their adult “shadows” practice during a Joyful Movements class: (l-r) R.J. Clark, Art Price, Kennedy Reed, Ailisha Klaudt, Ansley Hornton, Sharae Womack, Savannah Daniels, and devices were present. Photo by Natalie Gentry Students were allowed back into the Brie Heimlich. school at approximately 1:30 p.m. While the search was in progress, several students came forward with information about the incident. The combination of accounts and video footage led administrators to identify the student responsible for the device. The student quickly acknowledged he brought the fireworks onto campus.

City notifies residents of TCEQ violation It’s a quantity, not quality issue By Natalie Gentry Springtown residents received a letter dated Feb. 6 regarding a violation of the lead and copper monitoring as required by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ). However, according to City Administrator Doug Hughes, the notice regards the frequency of water testing, not the quality of water. The letters, required by TCEQ, stated Springtown did not complete mandatory lead and copper testing between Jan. 1, 2012 and Dec. 31, 2014. Hughes said during that time the

city’s contact operator did not conduct all required sampling. “We failed to take the appropriate lead and copper samples during the time frame,” Hughes said. “On Sept. 30 of 2014 we only sampled 10 locations instead of 20.” Historically, samples collected by the city have met or exceeded TCEQ water quality standards. “We will resolve this issue by collecting the required samples this summer,” Hughes said. Springtown is expected to return to compliance this year as soon as the results are reported to TCEQ.

Volunteers receive certificates for different classes, and their training is reported into the State Fire Marshal’s Association. “Eventually they can compile all that information and challenge the state to take the Texas Commission Fire Protection license (TCFP),” Pruitt said. “I’ve been with volunteer organizations for 19 years now and this is the first one that I’ve been affiliated with that has moved in that direction.” Compensation for dedication In addition to free training and the eventual opportunity to become state certified, volunteers in good standing with the ESD is the chance to get paid at times. “The stations in Springtown and Aledo have just gone to 24 hours, so there is the opportunity to work compensated shifts once they have enough

New Reno Officer

James Scott Woody 1921 – 2015

James Scott Woody, lifelong resident of Parker County and great-great-grandson of the original white settlers of this county, Samuel and Hannah Woody, passed from this life on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2015. He was 93 1/2 years old and dearly loved. The Woody family hopes to continue Scott’s long legacy of love, hard work, strong family ties and faith. Celebration of Scott’s life was held with a visitation from 6 to 8 p.m. Sunday at White’s Funeral Home in Springtown, 401 N. Main St. The funeral was held at 1:30 p.m. Monday at First Baptist Church of Springtown, 500 N. Main St. Scott was born on the family farm near Veal Station on July 31, 1921, the fourth of six children. He began helping his father, John E. Woody, milk the cows just as soon as he “could walk under one.” In the sixth grade, his father allowed him to

keep a calf that Scott saved from a snowy ravine, and so began Scott’s dairy herd. Scott was industrious: he ran a dairy route before school, raised and sold turkeys for extra money in the winter, and became financially independent at a young age. When not working or at school, Scott and his brothers enjoyed many adventures with the Martin boys, who lived across the road. In the seventh grade, Scott met his lifelong sweetheart, Miss Rena Mae Stroud. She knew that one day they would be married once she saw his twinkling blue eyes and he asked her to walk around the church. They graduated from Springtown High, class of 1940. They married that December on Rena Mae’s 18th birthday by the Rev. Howard Butler. Scott and Rena Mae were married 74 years. Scott and Rena Mae bought their farm in 1948 and there they raised their children: Kenneth, Dwayne, Frank and Sally. They built their home atop a hill, giving them a beautiful view of their land. Scott was active in the community. He sat on the school board for Northside Consolidated School, was a member of the Weatherford Livestock Association, and lifetime member of the First Baptist Church of Springtown. In 1960, Scott was encouraged by friends to run for Parker County commissioner. He ran and won. Scott served the people

of Precinct 1 for 16 years, and often said he “always tried to do what was right.” Scott was awarded the Outstanding Soil Conservationist by the Agricultural Extension Office in Parker County in 1976. One son, Dwayne, farmed with his father, and together they were awarded the Outstanding Dairy Family of the Year by the Weatherford Chamber of Commerce for 1982-1983. Scott can be found in the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest survivor of a porcine valve replacement at 89 years and 172 days, and set a new record every day he lived after that. Scott certainly enjoyed working, but occasionally he traveled with his wife and family. He visited all 50 states, and particularly enjoyed Alaska. He took an African safari, visited the Holy Land, Australia, and attended the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, Calif. Of course, Scott’s favorite place was home, riding his tractor and working his farm. Scott’s family describes him as kind, loving, tenderhearted, hard-working, happy, other-centered, tenacious and a sweetheart, yet with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes! He was known by many names. He was “Sweetheart” to his wife, “Daddy” to his children, and “Granddaddy”, “Dandy” or “Dee” to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He loved

Springtown Epigraph Thursday, February 19, 2015

SHS duo earn monthly honor Aschmeyer, Nash claim Optimist awards by mark k. campbell Juniors Dalton Aschmeyer and Emily Hash were selected as the Springtown Optimist Club’s Texan and Tex-Anne for February. Springtown High School Principal Scott McPherson presented the duo with certificates to commemorate the occasion. Aschmeyer, son of Brandie Aschmeyer, is 17 and is ranked No. 36 out of the 215 students in the SHS Class of 2016. He is a member of the National Society of High School Scholars and on the A and A/B honor rolls. A tennis player, Aschmeyer also is a member of the SHS Spanish Club. With his technical savvy, he runs the film/Teletron at football games and track meets at Porcupine Stadium. He owns a taekwondo first degree black belt and is interested in computer design and programming. Aschmeyer plans to attend either the University of North Texas or Mississippi State to seek a biomedical engineering degree with an eye toward becoming a doctor.

When asked by McPherson where he thought he might be in 10 years, Aschmeyer answered that he would likely still be in medical school. He said he wants to be remembered as someone who “gave everyone a chance,” no matter their status or situation. Hash, the daughter of Brandon and Ronda Hash, has perfect attendance while in the top 10 percent of all SHS students. A member of the A/B honor roll, the 16 year old is a member of the gifted and talented program. Hash is enthralled with art and is a member of that club. She scored a 3 in a VASE – Visual Arts Scholastic Event – competition. She said she plans on attending Denton’s University of North Texas and attempt a double major of Drawing and Painting and Communication Design. When asked about what kind of mark she will leave on SHS, Hash said she hoped people would remember her as “dependable and responsible”.

Lund, Clark qualify for state wrestling tourney Duo will compete at elite Garland event Fri.-Sat. by mark k. campbell After shining at the district wrestling tournament, two Porcupines continued to win and earned berths at the state event. Sam Lund (competing at 182 pounds) and Caice Clark (145) were district champions. At the Region II tourney at Frisco Liberty High School Feb. 13-14, both Porcupines excelled and claimed spots at the final event of the season – state at Garland Feb. 20-21. Lund (26-3) reached the gold medal match. Seeded No. 3, the junior opened with a forfeit then defeated Liberty’s David Essien with a fall at 4 minutes. Next, Lund won a 3-1 decision over Jon Veath of The Colony. That sent the Porcupine to the title match against Austin Von-

derheid of Frisco Centennial. Lund fell, 7-2, but, with his silver medal, locked down a berth in Garland. Clark, seeded No. 2 coming out of district, advanced on a forfeit to begin the tourney. After a loss to Isaac Cordy of Prosper, Clark worked his way to qualifying. He beat athletes from FW Arlington Heights, Grapevine, and Carrollton Creekview to reach the third place match. There, he lost to Cordy again; however, Clark is state bound. In Garland, Lund will face Zack Ramos of Lubbock Estacado while Clark will tangle with Charlie Boatman of Vista Ridge to open the tourney. Coach Tye Adams said, “The kids competed very well; we Porcupine Sam Lund (top) has a competitor under control at the regional wrestling tournament at Frisco Liberty High School.

Ladies hoops season over Kennedale tops Springtown in bi-district clash by mark k. campbell In the first playoff basketball game of the season, the Lady Porcupines battled to the very end. However, Kennedale proved too much and the season ended for Springtown at the Saginaw Chisholm Trail HS gym Feb. 17, 85-59. The game capped a year where “the seniors went out on a good note,” Coach Susan Croft said. Standout Brooklyn Dauenhauer concluded her remarkable career with a doubledouble – 26 points and 10

rebounds. She also grabbed a team-high 8 steals. Fellow senior Kendyl Dean had 4 points. All other players are underclassmen including freshman Molly Gideon who added 11 points and a pair of sophomores – Adrienne Easter and Khristin Mote – who netted 7 and 6, respectively. The coach said, “I could not be more proud of the effort and heart of this team for the entire season. “And, although we are losing Visiting Wichita Falls Hirschi edged Springtown 2-0 some key players to graduation, Feb. 13 despite physical play like this from Lady Porcuthe future is bright.” pine Lynne Guest (8).

Ball seasons underway Some days are chilly and some are spring-like – either way, the SHS baseball and softball squads are getting the kinks worked out. The Porcupine baseball teams hosted Stephenville in scrimmages Feb. 13.

Trips to Brewer and Mineral Wells helped SHS get ready for the regular season. The softball squad, led by first-year coach Scott Mann, fell to Mansfield Summit in a “pretty chilly game,” he recalled.

The Lady Porcupines (0-1) are “progressing,” Mann said. “I feel once we figure out how to relax and have some fun and cut our mistakes out, we will be a tough team to beat.” The girls host Godley Friday and Gainesville Monday.

The regular season ended for the Springtown varsity boys basketball team with a loss at Bridgeport Feb. 17, 73-49. However, the playoff die had already been cast with the Porcupines finishing third out of 8-4A Earlier, SHS took down Castleberry on Senior Night Feb. 13, 86-53. Kruz Dominguez, one of the twelfth graders, poured in 21 points to pace the team. Other scoring seniors: Jared Green (13), Zack Burton (9), and Kameron Hardeman (3). Dawson Meek scored 14 points and Trent Partain netted 9 points as every Porcupine scored, all 11 of them. In bi-district, Springtown will face the runner-up out of 7-4A, Godley, at the Aledo gym Monday, Feb. 23 at 6 p.m.

OPINION Thursday, February 19, 2015

www.springtown-epigraph.net

In sickness and in health...well, mainly sickness

hen you’ve been married a long time – the Bride and I are pushing 40 years together – you eventually run out of new things to do as a couple. But, we recently found some original terrain, something new to share: We both got sick at the same time. (Now we had been sore at the same time – for a few days after Feb. 27, 2004 when a drunk hit and rolled our truck [it’s true: some days are way more memorable than others], but never sick at the same time.) Recently we shared being puny together, including wolfing down overthe-counter meds while staring into each other’s reddened, watery eyes. Because I’m a notoriously poor

sleeper – I’ve been binge-watching Sea Hunt against my will at 3:30 many mornings these past few months – I’m used to seeing the dead of night. I write columns, eat Cherrios, and watch Lloyd Bridges solve underwater dilemmas. The other day, the Bride was felled by whatever it is that’s going around; it’s always called “the crud.” Since we’ve enjoyed some warm winter days, the culprit was deemed to be the dreaded mountain cedar; whatever the case, there were mighty bouts of stereo coughing, sneezing, and nose blowing that made sleep next to impossible. Throughout our decades together, I have had a few instances where I was slowed by ailments – a couple of flu incidents, nocturnal toothaches, and

some elective surgeries. But the Bride’s constitution is unusually mighty. I’m the guy who gets seasick, the one who gets indigestion from hidden onions. ON YOUR She got pneumonia back in MARK the 1980’s just Mark K. Campbell when we had friends arrive from Colorado; she could not get out of bed then. But that’s the only time I can remember her really waylaid – until now when she got the p-new-moan-

ya again. Before that, however, we both were hacking and miserable; no one was healthy enough to care for the other. There’s nothing like getting sick to mess up your schedule. Like most couples, we have stuff we need to do mapped out months in advance. When that’s knocked a-kilter, the world gets weird. As noted, being up at strange times is not unusual to me. I’ve written columns at 4 a.m. – this one’s being typed at 3:20 – and, back in my fire department days, I leapt out of bed in a pitch black bedroom and found myself in another pitch black bedroom five minutes later – only this one was several hundred degrees hotter. So, I’ve always had a queer sleep

schedule. But the Bride is the penultimate anti-morning person. She would’ve made a horrible firefighter; the engine won’t wait for two cups of coffee to be consumed before even considering moving from the covers. As I write, she struggles in the bedroom, filled with Sprite and phlegm and surrounded by piles of tissues. I’m in the same boat but not quite as bad, so, between coughing fits, I bring her meds. I had been searching for something special to herald our 40th anniversary coming this August. Sharing diseased funk was not on the list. But it’s something new, and…oh, I see it’s 3:30. Time for Sea Hunt. Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and should buy stock in Robitussin.

Farmers, ranchers set priorities

he Texas Legislature is back in session, and Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) members from across the state are working with their lawmakers to ensure the future of agriculture is bright. “Every year, TFB members from Parker County work with legislators on important issues,” Don Smelley, Parker County Farm Bureau president said. “We talk about the issues in our area and the things we’d like to see ac-

complished.” This year, TFB’s legislative priorities include: protecting the water rights of farmers, ranchers and landowners; protecting private property rights affected by the Endangered Species Act; supporting long-term funding for road construction and maintenance; and continuing to advocate for changes to the eminent domain process to better protect private property right. “We work hard to have good relationships with our legislators,” Smelley said. “We explain why the issues

are important to agriculture and rural Texas.” Parker County Farm Bureau encourages its members to stay in touch with their legislators throughout the session. To find your senator or representative, click the “Voter Voice” link under the Legislative tab on TexasFarmBureau.org. The legislative section of the website also includes updates on issues facing rural Texas and agriculture throughout the legislative session.

Samuel Woody Sr., Part 2: Help from Comanches

e now have Hugh, Jane, and William D. in Texas, while Samuel Woody Jr. remains in Roane County to pay off debts between 1848 and 1850. During that same time, Samuel Woody Sr. abandons the log raft which was headed to Texas to remain in Caro, Illinois, in Massac County, a point on the Illinois side of the Ohio River, to earn money. In March,1849, the Farmers left Fannin County and journeyed to Peter’s Colony, today known as Fort Worth. Here they built a log cabin atop a 100-foot bluff above the Trinity River. Soon after the cabin’s completion, the Comanche Indians burned the Farmers’ cabin to the ground – as a result they had to camp out in a tent. In May, 1849, Company F of the Second United States Dragoons, consisting of 42 men under the command of Brevet Major Ripely Arnold, arrived at the location where the Farmers were camping out, to select a site for a military fort.

The Farmers are buried in the Forest Hill Cemetery in Fort Worth. illiam HISTORICAL D.Wand ElizaHIGHLIGHTS beth’s son George PresLaurie Moseley ton Woody was born April 2, in Fannin County. He was named for his great-grandfather, Justice George Preston Woody who laid out the township of Kingston, Roane County, Tennessee. As a child, he recalls observing Comanche stock raids in his family homestead and the outlaw Jesse James camping out on the homestead grounds. Great-grandmother of George’s wife, Matilda Amanda West, was a second cousin of Sir Oliver Wendell Holmes, Sr., physician and

poet. George Preston Woody died prematurely at age 40, and is buried in Veal Station Cemetery. He was the father of two successful New York Wall Street attorneys. Great-grand Uncle Charles Lorenzo Woody (1869-1984) served as Assistant District Attorney of Wise and Dallas Counties, then served as counsel for the Brooklyn Rapid Transit Company in New York. Robert Houston Woody (1877) served as counsel for the Ocean Accident and Guaranty Company in New York. A third son, my great-grandfather, Joseph Casner Woody, had a successful Livestock Commission Company housed in the “Wall Street of the West” also known as the Exchange Building in the historic Fort Worth Stockyards. In the fall of 1850, Samuel Woody Sr. and the Samuel Woody, Jr. families reunite in Caro, Illinois, for the trip to Texas.

On June 6, 1849, construction of the military fort called Fort Worth was begun at the location suggested by George Farmer. The fort would be constructed where the Farmer log cabin once stood. The Tarrant County Criminal Courts and Tarrant County Courthouse stand today where the original George and Jane Woody Farmer log cabin was built and the military fort named Fort Worth was constructed. The Farmer’s are considered the “First White Settler Family of Fort Worth” where they established the first white settler claim. Jane Woody Farmer was the first white woman and their three-year-old daughter Sarah Ann Farmer (1846) the first white child in Tarrant County. Jane’s husband, George, owned the first business in Fort Worth, a trading post, on the fort property, where he supplied the fort’s soldiers and the surrounding burgeoning community with essential goods and services. In exchange for the cooperation of the George P. Farmer family, they retained the land they first claimed around the fort. A Texas Historical Marker honor-

quiring six days to complete the trip. Upon arrival they drove an oxen drawn wagon across the wilds of East Texas to the military post of Fort Worth. The families made camp approximately two miles north of Fort Worth. The William D. Woody family reunited with the family there in White Settlement. The Woody families remained at White Settlement for refuge until their homesteads were established. With the assistance of Comanche Indian interpreter guides, the Woody family and other early white settlers were free to explore a portion of northeast Parker County that had been surveyed. However the friendly Comanche Indians told them that much better land existed further up Ash Creek. This beautiful expanse of land was explored and surveyed by the families. The trustworthy relationship established between the Comanche Indians and the Woody families remained eternal. Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

Abbott joins other governors in urging against veto

ov. Greg Abbott on Feb. 12 announced he had joined a coalition of 24 governors in signing and sending a letter to President Obama that urges the nation’s chief executive “to reconsider his threat” to veto legislation approving the Keystone XL pipeline. “With one stroke of a pen, you have the power to give thousands of Americans the shot at a good-paying job that will help them provide for their families and get ahead in a tight economy,” the letter says. The pipeline runs from a terminal in the province of Alberta, through Saskatchewan and Manitoba, then cuts down through several states to Cushing, Oklahoma. From there, a pipeline would carry product to refineries in Port Arthur and Houston. Legislation authorizing the pipeline recently passed with bipartisan votes in both chambers of Congress, Abbott said, and he quoted language in the letter asserting economic and

Both bills were approved on Panel passes ‘carry’ bills The Senate State Affairs votes of 7-2, with the panel’s energy security benefits of the pipeline project for states along its route and for the whole nation. The letter also says: “According to the State Department’s own analysis, the Keystone XL pipeline will create an estimated 42,000 American jobs. Given the number of jobs at stake, it is no surprise that the project has garnered the support of many of our nation’s largest labor unions, including the AFL-CIO Building & Construction Trades Department, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the Laborers’ International Union of North America. But the real economic impact extends far beyond numbers on a page. As one labor union representative put it, ‘this project is not just a pipeline; it is, in fact, a lifeline.’ ” According to general figures for Texas compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 10,877 members of labor unions in 2013 and 11,205 in 2014.

Movie Man

Thursday, February 19, 2015 Springtown Epigraph

Stylish ultra-violent spy homage packs a punch Last week’s movie, Jupiter Ascending (Movie Man No. 1126, a 3), was delayed from the previous summer. Like many postponed films that get jettisoned into the dead zone of February, Jupiter Ascending was not very good. Kingsmen: The Secret Service was also pushed back – from late last year until this month. But, in a rarity, it’s a major studio February release that isn’t horrible. About the film Here’s yet another movie based on a comic book/graphic novel. (A trailer before Kingsmen was for Marvel’s reboot of The Fantastic Four [a vague yet interesting coming attraction] and proves that the genre’s popularity is far from ebbing.) Aside from the comic book angle, there’s always something interesting – especially to American audiences – about the British spy game. The James Bond series is one of the most successful in cinematic history. (And that number of almost $2 billion internationally will certainly rise with the arrival of Spectre later this year on Nov. 6.) On TV decades ago, Americans ate up the terrific Avengers series with the dapper John Steed (Patrick Macnee) and slinky Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) – even though real old-timers and fans will recall Steed’s first big partner, Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman). (Speaking of the The Avengers, a big screen version – much anticipated in 1998 – remains of the most shockingly bad movies to ever disappoint. The Movie Man gave it a 3 and that was generous. Despite starring Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, and Sean Connery, the movie is astonishingly poor. It arrived during the spate of remaking TV shows into movies and the mark could not have been missed more.) The BBC sends over a slew of Britishy espionage/myster-

ies modern and old school and local PBS stations are jammed with them, too. So we clearly like our veddy, veddy snooty yet suave crime fighters from across the pond. And we have another one in a super natty Englishman Harry Hart in Kingsmen. The plot (spoilers) A Kingsman has been killed – Lancelot (Jack Davenport who will look familiar; he’s Keira Knightley’s love interest in the Pirates of the Caribbean series) – so a new one must be found and trained. Each Kingsman brings in a candidate. Hart (Colin Firth) chooses the son of a spy who earlier saved his life; however, the boy, Eggsy (Taron Egerton), while highly-talented and smart, is nothing but a young thief and general punk. Egerton enters the program and begins to shine in training despite the fact that most of the upper-crust recruits disdain him – except for Roxy (Sophie Cookson). Meanwhile, evil billionaire Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson) is tired of trying to save the world with his money. He has a plan to rid the earth of most of its inhabitants by having them fight to the death when he flips a switch in cell phones that af-

Kingsmen

High tech Bond Starring: Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, Taron Egerton Directed by: Matthew Vaughn Rated R: lots of violence, blood, gore, and language, unclad booty email: movieman@azlenews.net

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man fects anyone nearby with murderous rage. Only a few elite will join Jackson in repopulating the world. After the globe’s riffraff destroy themselves, the earth will be a better place. Firth discovers this plan firsthand to double shocking results (see Best scene). Soon only Egerton, Cookson, and Kingsman Merlin (Mark Strong) can stop Jackson and his deadly, steel-legged accomplice Gazelle (Sofia Boetella). What works (spoiler) Firth is just what we Americans want in our British secret agent – a calm hurricane that you don’t want to rile who also happens to have a variety of

deadly toys secreted about his person and attire. The bar fight that the original coming attraction highlighted is fun. (Too bad so much of it was revealed in the previews). Jackson has a great time and utters the best lines (and also enjoys the most shocking moment with Firth after the Best scene). Strong and Michael Caine shine, and the lead is handled well enough by Egerton. There are special effects aplenty, with some slow motion spinning about to go with chop-

socky action. The earlier sequences of the recruits training are exciting, especially one where the skydiving crew is told mid-flight that one of them doesn’t have a parachute.

Pet lovers will be shocked at the scene where recruits are told to shoot their pet dog. Another sequence where a mom tries to hack through a door to kill her terrified young daughter is unsettling.

Best scene Jackson tries out his rageinducing concept on a racist small Kentucky church; Firth is in attendance. When the phone switch is flipped, the vile congregation – the sign outside says “America Is Doomed” – turns on itself in a stunning blood-thirsty scene led by the killing machine Firth. It’s all set to the instrumental section of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Freebird” and must be seen to be believed. It’s gory, hilarious, disturbing, blasphemous, and ultraviolent all at the same time – and will be too much for some viewers.

The rating There’s just a whiff of sensuality; otherwise this is a hard action-movie-ish R.

What doesn’t work (spoiler) Some of the dialogue is not discernible because of the accents. That got a little frustrating.

Purser said he enjoys the monthly luncheon and hates to ever miss it. “I love to go over there,” Purser said. “We eat, and then we have a program. They also

He and Donahew are also working on ways to provide

more area veterans with transportation to and from the meetings. “It's a big project, but I really enjoy doing it – it's a great opportunity for me,” said Boldt. “The whole emphasis is to honor the veterans, to show them appreciation, and just give them respect. They're the

And I’m sure there's more vets out there.” The next luncheon will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 27, at the Hawaiian Falls Banquet Room, 8905 Clifford Street in White Settlement.

Looking up: by carla noah stutsman Movin’ on up! Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar said Feb. 11 that state sales tax revenue in January was $2.56 billion, up 11.2 percent compared to January 2014. Hegar will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts their February local sales tax allocations totaling $873.1 million, up 8.9 percent compared to February 2014. The sales tax figures represent December sales reported by monthly tax filers as well as October, November, and December sales by businesses that report tax quarterly. Locally, the town of Lakeside had the only negative numbers to report – but even those are minor following a year in which the town saw its sales tax revenues double on the heels of a voter-approved one percent hike in its rate. Lakeside’s February sales tax revenue of $17,714 was down a mere 1.52 percent from February 2014 when it received $17,988. The town collected $30,830 in the first two months of 2014; so far in 2015, it’s received $27,600, a decrease of 10.47 percent compared with last year. Similarly, the city of Reno raised its tax rate in the general election in November 2014, so it will enjoy 12 months of 100 percent increases in its revenues compared with 2014. Reno’s February sales tax

Most area cities see increases in sales tax revenue; only Lakeside down

revenue of $13,927 is 107.84 percent more than the $6,700 it received in February 2014. Year-to-date, the city has received $19,478. That represents a 70.24 percent increase from 2014 when it had collected $11,478 after the first two months of the calendar year. Sanctuary received $1,810 for February, up 65.65 percent from $1,093 in February 2014. The city’s year-to-date total is $3,052, a 48.07 percent increase from $2,061 for the same period in 2014. The city of Pelican Bay received $1,581 for February, a 6.10 percent increase over February 2014 revenue of $1,490. However, its year-todate total of $2,960 is down 9.61 percent from $3,275 at the same time last year. Azle recognized a 6.34 percent increase from February 2014 revenue of $219,798 with $233,740 for February. So far in 2015, the city has received $403,096, up 6.98 percent from $376,789 in the first two months of 2014. Azle’s Crime Control and Prevention District received $43,147 for February, up 9.18 percent from $39,516 in February 2014. Year-todate, the CCPD has received $75,944, up 9.15 percent from $69,576 through February 2014. The Azle Municipal Development District performed even better, receiving $44,713 for
