Icy conditions put brakes on activities Two school days cancelled by mark k. campbell Getting around town got tough for a few days there. An inch of sleet collected in the area and it hung around, from Sunday into Wednesday. Even though a projected snowstorm didn’t arrive that Wednesday – only a dusting fell – Springtown ISD administrators had decided the night before to postpone school openings for two hours. Already, Monday and Tuesday, Feb. 23-24, had been cancelled because of treacherous road conditions. Making the decision to call off school is a stressful procedure. The ISD sends out a “team of drivers” to check out roadways as early as 5 a.m. on potential weather-troubled days.

When a decision is made, school officials contact parents through their website, the ParentLink phone messaging system, the ISD’s Facebook page, and via the district’s phone app. The Epigraph also posted information on its Facebook and Twitter outlets as soon as information was received from the ISD. Another early-morning outing by school personnel on Feb. 25 convinced the district to hold to its twohour delay opening and students were back in class at 10 that morning. The weather also wreaked havoc with extracurricular activities. The Springtown boys’ bi-district playoff game against Godley in Aledo was moved twice – from Monday to Tuesday – before being played on Wednesday.

Flapjack fun(ds) Optimists hosting pancake supper fundraiser March 5 By Natalie Gentry It’s for the kids – and their future education. The griddles will be hot and the food will be plentiful Thursday, March 5 at the 12th Annual Springtown Optimist Club Pancake Supper. The meal will be served from 4:307 p.m. in the Springtown High School Cafeteria. Tickets are $6 per plate and children five and younger eat free. The price includes pancakes, bacon, sausage, coffee, tea, and orange juice. Set up to raise money for the group’s scholarship fund, the pancake breakfast has become a staple of the community’s giving nature, according to Optimist Club Treasurer Jim Bragdon. The Springtown Optimist club began on May 23, 1983 and has had an average membership of 34 people. According to Bragdon, members represent most of the businesses in the area, with the primary business being the Springtown independent school

district. “Over the years we’ve had many different fundraisers to support our programs. Some worked well, some conflicted with other organizations so we were always looking for a signature event to raise funds,” Bragdon said. “Twelve years ago we decided on the pancake supper as the next best venue.” At the time, no one else was conducting this type of a fundraiser, Bragdon said. “By having only one event versus multiple fundraisers made it easier on our members and the businesses that supported us to commit,” he continued. The pancake supper proceeds fund the club’s Young Texanne/Texan program, the Oratorical and Essay contests, the annual Youth Appreciation Breakfast, the Hugh O’Brian Youth (HOBY) program, the bicycle safety program. But the bulk of the funds go to scholarships for graduating seniors.

“All of those programs cost us about $4,000 an year to conduct.” Bragdon said. “The past several years we have given four $500 scholarships.” “If the pancake supper generates more income we will add additional scholarship money; we give back to the youth of this community,” he continued. This year the event will include a raffle instead of the silent auction. The raffle features gift certificates and merchandise donated by local merchants. According to Bragdon, the Optimists typically feed between 350 to 400 people at the pancake supper. “Over the years it has become a real community event. We see many of the town’s residents every year; they like the gathering as a chance to revisit with old friends and neighbors and have thanked us for that,” he said. “It gives them a chance to continue to support the youth of Springtown even if their children have long since gone on with their lives.”

Hanger, 9 Mile TxDOT projects accelerated Jacksboro Hwy. early beneficiary of Prop I by Carla noah stutsman At long last, there is good news about three construction projects that will virtually complete the 10-mile stretch of highway between Azle and Lake Worth known as State Highway 199 or the Jacksboro Highway. According to State Representative Charlie Geren, the three projects are now included in the Texas Department of Transportation’s (TxDOT) proposed projects for years 2, 3 and 4 of Proposition I. The Texas Transportation Funding Amendment, Proposition 1 was on the Nov. 4, 2014 general election ballot in the state of Texas as a legislativelyreferred constitutional amendment, where it was approved by voters. The measure diverted half of the general revenue derived from oil and gas taxes from the Economic Stabilization Fund (ESF) – also known as the Rainy Day Fund – to the State Highway Fund for the purpose of providing transportation funding for repairs and maintenance of public roads. It was anticipated that this would

result in approximately $1.2 billion per year going toward transportation funding instead of the Rainy Day Fund. The measure took effect immediately and has been applied to transfers the comptroller made after Sept. 1, 2014. The three SH 199 projects include constructing an overpass at Nine Mile Bridge Road; building an overpass at Hanger Cutoff Road/Tenderfoot Trail; and reconstructing the main lanes of traffic between those two intersections. The three projects are anticipated to cost $44 million, Geren said. “We’re in the first year of Proposition 1, and these projects are proposed to begin in years 2, 3 and 4,” Geren explained. “I’ll do all I can to try to get them moved up in the process, but the important thing is that we’re in the system now. Before, we were just on the sidelines.” Earlier estimates had put the projects years – maybe even decades – into the future.

Our family serving your family since 1908

Top 24: by Carla noah Stutsman Trevor Douglas – who made it to the Top 24 on Fox’s American Idol last week – has been flying under the area’s radar, it seems. The 17-year-old, who attended Azle’s Eagle Heights Elementary through his fourth grade year and lives just outside the town’s city limits, says he claims to be from the DFW area – sometimes shortened to just Fort Worth – for a good reason. “Our mailing address is in Fort Worth, we live just outside Azle not far from Eagle Heights, but I attend school in Dallas,” Douglas says. “I’m really from the whole area.” But, he says, his love for performing began while he was a student at Eagle Heights. “Mrs. Matteson, my teacher there, had karaoke Fridays, and it was so much fun. I think that’s when I first realized I liked music and performing,” Douglas says. “Then, at the end of the year, the school had a talent show – incredibly, it was called Eagle Heights Idol – and me and a couple of friends did the Blues Brothers’ “Soul Man” – and we won second place.” Douglas says he instantly knew that “embarrassing myself in front of people onstage” was really fun and he wanted to do more of it. So, he auditioned and earned a spot at the Fort Worth Academy of Fine Arts, a public charter school, where he attended school for two years. Since then, Douglas has attended Booker T. Washington High School for the Performing and Visual Arts in Dallas. Yes, Dallas. Douglas and his mom make the commute five days a week – well, when they’re not in Hollywood. It works for them, Douglas says, especially since his mom got a job at the Perot Museum just a block or two from his high school. “Plus, employees get a free membership to the museum, and it’s really cool,” he added. Booker T. Washington is a fun school with lots of fun opportunities like open mics during lunch and big opportunities to showcase his music – even though he’s actually in the theater program, Douglas said. “Doing theater really teaches you how to be creative, and it’s also taught me how to really feel a song. I think it makes me a better performer,” he said. If you’ve been watching Season XIV of American Idol, you’ll recognize Douglas as the “geeky” contestant who told

judges Harry Connick, Jr., Keith Urban and Jennifer Lopez in his initial audition that if he didn’t win, he might like to pursue a career in science – like Bill Nye, the Science Guy. “I’ve always loved science and enjoyed nature,” Douglas said. “I never liked math, but of course I had to do it.” Since attending Booker T. Washington, he credits the enthusiasm and excitement of another teacher, Mrs. Jay, with changing that. “I’ve even started liking math!” Douglas never had any intention of auditioning for American Idol until a representative from the show came to one of his classes at school. “I really didn’t want to sing for her – I guess I was a little ignorant of the process – but they said I should, and I did,” Douglas laughs. “She said I was really, really good, and that I should go to Nashville and audition.” Next thing he knew, he was in Nashville. Then, suddenly, he was performing at The Orpheum Theatre in Hollywood, and then on the House Trevor Douglas, who lives just outside Azle, is in American Idol’s of Blues stage as part Top 24.

4A Lund, Clark vie at state

The day before the weather got bad, Springtown track athletes enjoyed a fine day at the Roo Relays in Weatherford. On Saturday, Feb. 21, several Springtown athletes shone at the meet. Brooklyn Dauenhauer, fresh off a successful basketball season, started the track year on a high by winning the long jump in 16 feet even. Springtown’s other gold went to stellar Porcupine hurdler Dillon Springfield. He won the 110-meter race in 14.42 seconds then took the silver in the 300 distance in 40.43.

Competing in the 182-pound division, Lund won his first match against Zach Ramos of Lubbock Estacado in a close 3-2 decision. In his next contest later that Feb. 20, the Porcupine saw the Region 3 champion, Michael Emmanuel, a senior who would eventually finish fourth. Lund lost 10-2 and dropped to the lower bracket. There, he faced Noe Reyes from Rio Grande City. The SHS athlete posted his own 10-2 victory to move to 2-1 in the tourney. His state trip ended in the next round with a 7-4 loss to Grapevine’s Marcus Olvera. Clark, competing at 145 pounds, fell in his opening match to the eventual fourth place finisher. In his second outing, he lost 8-2 to a George Ranch wrestler. Springtown Coach Tye Adams said, “The boys really enjoyed the experience. Anytime you get to be part of something like that, it is a special feeling. “To be one of the best in the Springtown’s Caice Clark spins away from a foe at the state is a big deal.” state tournament.

Ground control to Major Tom: Off to Mars?!

t was good news, bad news for 100 people last week. Good: They were finalists to become members of the first manned mission to Mars. Bad: They were finalists to become members of the first manned mission to Mars. The idea of rocketing to the Red Planet is very exciting to many, especially those of us with memories of the original moon landing in July 1969. (I recall my dad fetching me – I was probably reading some scifi book – to come watch it with him on TV.) Space exploration is still a wonder to some of us. Yes, people are starving and that money should be put toward education or job expansion or whatever the hot topic of the week is on talk radio. Once, we humans dreamed – really, really big. We had Apollo missions and Captain Kirk and the Star

Child and Luke Skywalker to keep us enthralled about whatever was…out there. That wonder seems to have faded. At least until this Mars mission came along. When announced, lots of people applied – good news for we space dreamers. The bad news was pretty bad, however: You could die on the planet in 68 days. Wait, what?! That doesn’t sound so terrific. While the frequent flier miles would be incredible – 34 million! – cashing them in won’t be possible, because it’s a one-way trip; you’ll die on the Red Planet. Now I’ve seen Total Recall, and while, admittedly, a triple-breasted female alien is enticing, things go downhill fast as your end looms. But many are willing to forego existence on earth. Over 202,000 people sent in applications to the private, nonprofit organization Mars One, willing

to accept their certain demise to further mankind’s reach. From that pool, 50 men and 50 women were picked. Here’s the projected plan: 2018 – send a lander to test ON YOUR the technology 2020 – send MARK a roving “intelMark K. Campbell ligent” lander to scope out the best landing site 2022 – send six cargo missions to bring all the living stuff humans need 2024 – send the crew and the rest of their living quarters Next, the astronauts in their special suits will be picked up one at a time by the intelligent rover, deposited in the

already constructed habitats, then covered with red dirt. (There’s a country song dying to get written here…) Some of the crew could live beyond 68 days – but that’s the deadline some experts say the explorers will start dropping off because of too much oxygen. Yes, too much. Right now, the technology does not exist to rid all the air from the confines from all the plants being considered for food. So the image of lots of folks huddling around a head of lettuce desperate to get a snoot full of air won’t be true – it’ll be the opposite. Another problem is getting replacement parts up to the planet’s surface once the construction is done. The last thing you want to hear is “sorry, that’s on back order” when you’re on Mars. Still, kudos to these bold and adventurous souls! There’s actually another mission planned, one that will send a married

couple to circle the planet then slingshot them back to earth. A millionaire wants to send the duo on Jan. 5, 2018 – the closest Mars will be to our planet; it’s another 15 years before it gets that close again. So a married couple will enter a tiny capsule and be in close quarters for 501 days. I don’t think you have to be a rocket scientist to project that that’s courting trouble. I love the Bride, but that’s a long time to be in such close quarters. I can hear her say, “Hey, let me take a photo. Skooch over by that air lock. A little more…a little more…. SWOOSH!” The last thing I’d hear is her singing, “Daisy, daisy…” That’d be a HAL-uva situation. Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and figures his asthma would eliminate him from becoming an astronaut – and his fear of heights.

Samuel Woody Sr., Part 3: Claiming Parker Co. land

etween 1851–1853 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. In 1853, a claim was established by Samuel Woody Sr., an Ash Creek pioneer and first white settler in the Territory of Tarrant County. The land

and the survey was completed by Surveyor Jenkins on May 23, 1854. In that year, William D. Woody began construction of the first white settler permanent HISTORICAL four-room resmade HIGHLIGHTS idence of lumber. It Laurie Moseley had a southerly facing sun porch. The oak log barn was likely constructed before the house. The lumber for the residence was hauled 200 miles by ox drawn wagons from a saw mill in Shreveport, Louisanna. William D. was issued his patent for this land on February 15, 1857.

That historic home is a testament to the fortitude of the handcrafted construction, because it is still a private residence four miles south of Springtown. In 1853, Sam Woody, Jr. established a claim that was near the community of Aurora in the territory of Wise County. While he returned to Fort Worth, it was reclaimed by another settler. So in 1854, he established a claim on the banks of Deep Creek in Wise County and constructed the first white settler one-room log cabin dwelling. The cabin was completed in one day with the assistance of family and friends. The cabin was recorded as a Texas Historical Landmark in 1970 and is permanently located on the grounds of the Wise County Heritage Museum, Decatur. Sam Woody Jr. and his family are buried in Deep Creek Cemetery, Wise County.

was surveyed by Lewellyn Murphey. The description of the property was on the mouth of Ash Creek, located in the Tarrant County Territory. In 1854, the first one-room log cabin residence in the Territory was constructed and was called the “Western Hotel,” since it became an early pioneer tavern for relaxation. Pioneers would also sit on the homestead grounds and enjoy church meetings. On July 31, 1857, the patent was issued to Samuel Woody regarding his 320 acres located in Parker County on Ash Creek located 15 miles northeast of Weatherford. Back in December 15, 1853, James Tucker established a Pre-emption Claim on 320 acres located on the south fork of Walnut Creek, a tributary of the Trinity River, Tarrant County Territory. On January 15, 1854, J. M. Tucker officially sold his preemption claim to William D. Woody for $20,

Another of Samuel and Hannah’s sons, Brice Woody married Missouri A. Miller in October 1855, and they were the first white settlers to marry in the newly-created county of Parker. Since Parker County was simply created not organized, their marriage license was issued in Birdville, Tarrant County. Brice enlisted to serve the Confederacy on May 25, 1861 in Parker County. He later served as a Parker County Ranger. Brice and his family are buried in Boonville, Wise County. In early1856, Lewellyn Murphy the bachelor surveyor who had migrated from Tennessee with the Woody family was responsible for surveying Parker County.

Gov. gives lawmakers state budget priorities

n Feb. 17, Gov. Greg Abbott delivered his first State of the State address during a joint session of the Texas House and Senate and released his recommendations for the two-year 2016-2017 state budget. In his 43-page Governor’s Budget document, Abbott said he aims to: “Constrain the size and growth of government. Reduce agency spending. Suspend, reduce, and eliminate unnecessary taxes and fees. Ensure government supports job creation and is accountable and transparent.” Abbott is recommending general revenue spending of $99.4 billion for 2016-2017, slightly less than a 5 percent increase in general revenue spending compared with the current budget. “By keeping spending levels lower than the growth in population plus inflation, we can ensure that the size of government does not grow. This allows Texas to sig-

nificantly reduce tax burdens,” Abbott asserted, and promoted the building of the budget on the following “core principles”: • Passing a constitutional amendment to limit the growth in state spending to the historic growth in the state’s population plus inflation. • Limiting the size of government by reducing most state agency general revenue expenditures by 3 percent. • Securing additional funding for transportation infrastructure by passing a constitutional amendment to dedicate one half of the motor vehicle sales tax to transportation needs and ending many transportation funding diversions. • Stimulating private sector job growth by permanently decreasing the business “franchise” tax by $2 billion, combined with comprehensive reforms. • Providing property owners with $2.2 billion in property tax relief. • Using any revenue that exceeds initial estimates or a por-

marriage ceremony uniting two women on Feb. 19. Attorney General Paxton quickly obtained a stay from the Texas Supreme Court that prevents same-sex marriages. Paxton also seeks to invalidate the one marriage that was conducted. Gov. Abbott said, “Article 1, Section 32 of the Texas Constitution defines marriage as consisting ‘only of the union of one man and one woman’ and was approved by more than three-quarters of Texas voters. I am committed to ensuring that the Texas Constitution is upheld and that the rule of law is maintained in the State of Texas.” The constitutionality of same-sex marriage is a matter Same-sex marriage is con- pending before the U.S. Supreme Court.

Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton lauded the ruling and noted in a Feb. 20 news release, “Texas leads a 26-state coalition fighting the president’s attempt to unilaterally grant amnesty to millions of illegal immigrants.” The Obama administration has filed a petition in the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit for a stay of the district court’s injunction.

initiatives; (3) transportation funding; (4) border security funding; and (5) ethics reform. The Texas Constitution requires lawmakers to take action on the governor’s emergency items by March 13, the 60th day of the 140-day regular session of the 84th Texas Legislature. With the governor’s wishes now expressed, committees in both houses of the Texas Legislature will continue to work on their own versions of a state budget for the next fiscal biennium. Those versions will have to be reconciled by the two bodies, and ultimately, with the governor, who has veto power.

Movie Man

Thursday, February 26, 2015 Springtown Epigraph

Costner breaks the tape in another sports movie Disney is wise. The studio makes superhero movies. They create kid-friendly pictures, animated and otherwise. They produce an annual nature film every Earth Day. (This year it’s Monkey Kingdom.) And they put out old-timey movies that appeal to adults who long for a feel-good, inspirational story – the kind that land on the AARP Movies for Grown-Up Awards list. That’s McFarland, USA. About the film Cinematic history is filled with inspirational sports movies. One of the great upsets in Oscar history came via one, Chariots of Fire (1981). At the 1982 Academy Awards ceremony, the British movie beat two heavily-favored others – Raiders of the Lost Ark and Hollywood catnip Reds, a mammoth, sprawling tale of Communism directed and starring Warren Beatty. The list of sports inspirational movies is long and every sport is included from football’s Rudy (1993) to basketball’s Hoosiers (1986) to baseball’s The Natural (1984) to the ultimate underdog story, the great boxing movie Rocky (1976). But sometimes inspirational films, some non-sports, are cast in a different light, one where critics bemoan “another white guy coming in to save the day.” One movie that really got beaten up in that regard was The Green Mile (1999, Movie Man No. 317, a 9 – and a rare 9 that was not Best of Year, that went to Toy Story 2 [MM #315, 9]). While moviegoers loved The Green Mile, many critics were more than unkind, labeling it another “Black Jesus” movie – the anti-white man saving the day; this time, a poor black man shows white folks the way to the light. Overall, the collected critical reception was poor; out of

36 Metacritic reviews, the average score was just 61. The Green Mile takes the same whupping from critics that Forrest Gump (1994, MM #33, 9, Best of Year) does – this time it’s a mentally challenged man who helps folks appreciate life. The hate is unfair; both are great movies. Most critics are sticks in the mud (well, not the Movie Man, of course). The plot (spoilers, but duh) Jim White (Kevin Costner) just got fired from another high school coaching job. Soon, his only option is to move from Idaho to dirt-poor McFarland, California, a heavily-Hispanic town that revolves around crop picking in nearby fields. Costner sees that some of his P.E. kids are fast runners. So, while knowing nothing about the sport, he creates a cross country team. Everyone learns at the same time. Off the course, Costner, his wife (Maria Bello), and two daughters try to assimilate into the local culture. Soon, the rag-tag band of kids – the football dropout, the angry young man, the goofy one, the poser, the “fat” one – are lining up for the state championship against teams with far superior training chances and equipment.

Run, hombre! Starring: Kevin Costner, Maria Bello, Valente Rodriguez Directed by: Niki Caro Rated PG: one mild cuss word, culture clash with mucho glaring email: movieman@azlenews.net

Plus, Costner gets offered a job at an upscale high school. Will he take it? Will his daughter forgive him for missing her fifteenth birthday? Will the fat guy factor into the title race? Why, you have seen some inspirational sports movies! What works Costner is solid, as always. Just like with the recent Black or White (MM #1124, 6), he’s still the guy that commands the screen. His intense stares and heartfelt confessions are all believable. He’s a movie star. Bello is also really good. Clearly not a woman who is fighting her aging, her lined face and watery, caring eyes convey a woman who loves her

The running scenes work better when the training sessions are highlighted – dirt puffing up behind a boy running through a plowed field, reflections off a still body of water.

Exceptional drought persists Spring rains needed to avoid Stage 2 drought restrictions BY MISTY SHAW It’s a sad sight these days from the shore of what remains of Eagle Mountain Lake with the ever-receding water line seemingly miles away. Trees are withering and many creeks have been dry for months as the entire region remains in an exceptional drought. Even with the recent ice and snow, the actual moisture content from that sort of precipitation is very low and makes minimal impact on the drought situation. Stage 1 drought restrictions are currently in place, and Stage 2 may not be far off, according to local water authorities. “We currently are under Stage 1 watering restrictions,” said Steve Harris, manager of Walnut Creek Special Utility District (SUD) in Springtown. “Our water supplier, Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD), has sent us notice that Stage 2 restrictions will be in place soon.” PLEASE SEE STAGE, PAGE 2A.

There used to be a substantial swimming beach at Shady Grove Park but not right now. Today, this buoy has been high and dry as the long-term drought continues; the area remains under the “Extreme” category. Winter ice and snow has little affect on the drastic conditions. Photo by Misty Shaw

Stage 2 restrictions looming n STAGE, FROM PAGE ONE.

Under Stage 1 restrictions, outdoor watering is limited to twice per week, according to Chad Lorance, TRWD communications manager. “We have been hovering around 60 percent of capacity for the last few months,” Lorance said. “If we drop below 60 percent, it will trigger Stage 2 of the drought plan. That would mean once per week outdoor watering. Even with lake levels currently holding steady at 63 percent, Lorance stressed that conservation is key. “At this point, there is no need to water your lawn and landscapes,” he said. “The grass is dormant and has had plenty of rain this winter to keep it alive. “We have pumped enough water into Eagle Mountain over the last couple of years to completely refill the lake more than once over,” Lorance said. “If we didn’t receive another drop of rain between now and midApril, we could drop below the Stage 2 threshold at that point.” The answer to the region’s water woes, of course, is the return of normal rainfall. The

most recent threemonth outlook from the National Weather Service Climate Prediction Center forecasts below-normal temperatures and a slight chance for above-average precipitation in the area this spring. Every rain event helps push back the possibility of Stage 2 restrictions, Lorance said. “The good news is the ground is still saturated, so any additional rain we get this spring should create some run-off and keep demands low,” he said. “Hopefully, we get enough rainfall throughout the spring to get us through the summer without reaching Stage 2.” Local water authorities are doing everything they can to mitigate the impacts of a lasting drought, and encourage residents to do the same. “We have an aggressive drought contingency plan that was designed to get us through these types of situations,” Lorance said. “Obviously, we are in a much better position than

other areas around the state – that is also a testament to the public’s commitment to adhering to the drought plan and being conservation-minded.” Harris said Walnut Creek SUD has also taken steps to conserve levels in dwindling Lake Bridgeport, which provides water to Springtown and surrounding areas. “We have recently added some floating pumps to our intake at Lake Bridgeport to maintain our flow to the treatment plant as lake levels decline,” he said. “We can’t do anything about the lack of rain, but we all can conserve water to get through this time of drought.”

Dining out can still be healthy Men and women with an eye on shedding a few extra pounds might feel as though dining out is a luxury their waistlines simply cannot afford. But many restaurants recognize their customers’ growing desire for healthier fare. People can expect to find a host of nutritional items on the menu at their favorite local restaurant, making dining out both a viable and healthy option for those who want to put money back into their community while enjoying a night out on the town. Of course, diners who want to ensure their next night out is healthy can take a number of steps before hitting the town with friends, family or that special someone. • Peruse the menu ahead of time. Many restaurants now post their menus to their Web

sites, where prospective diners can get a feel for the restaurant while examining the menu for foods they can feel good about eating. Look for low-calorie meals and choose a few candidates that you might want to eat when you arrive at the restaurant. Some restaurants may count the calories for you on the menu or explain where and why they buy their ingredients in an attempt to ensure their customers’ meals will be both delicious and healthy. • Consider ordering off the menu. Ordering off the menu was a practice once reserved for bigwigs or restaurant regulars. But nowadays many restaurants recognize that some customers might be on restricted diets for medical reasons and are willing to work with their customers who still want to enjoy a meal

out without putting their health in jeopardy. Ordering off the menu does not necessarily mean ordering a dish that isn’t on the menu. Ordering off the menu can refer to asking that ingredients like salt not be used to prepare your meal or asking that a dish is baked or grilled instead of fried. Many restaurants are amenable to such requests, but it’s up to the customer to ask. • Ask for smaller portions. Smaller portions can help men and women maintain a healthy weight, and some restaurants even allow customers to buy half-portions for less money. If that option is available, take advantage of it. If not, skip the appetizer and dessert courses, and don’t be afraid to leave some food on your plate at the end of the meal. You can always have your meal wrapped.

• Share your meal. Out on a date with your special someone? Then order one entree and let your server know you plan to share the meal. You might have to pay a little extra to share the meal, but you won’t be eating as much and the added cost of sharing will still be less than purchasing two entrees. • Don’t forget to eat before you dine out. If you miss meals throughout the day before dining out at night, you’re far more likely to overindulge once you get to the restaurant. Be sure to eat a healthy breakfast and lunch and a healthy snack of fruits or vegetables before going out to dinner at night. If so, you won’t be as hungry when you arrive at the restaurant and you won’t overeat to combat that hunger.
