Chamber banquet honors Springtown’s standouts BY NATALIE GENTRY Springtown High School was abuzz Saturday night, March 1, as members of the business community gathered to celebrate 2013’s outstanding citizens, organizations, and businesses.

Heading back to where it all began SHS Principal Chris Pennington resigns to return to the classroom BY NATALIE GENTRY Springtown High School (SHS) is looking for a new principal. Chris Pennington’s resignation was announced at the monthly school board meeting in January. “I can’t point to any single part of my current job that prompted my decision to go back to the classroom,” Pennington said. “This is a great job and there are certainly parts of it that I will miss.” He continued, “I have a great relationship with Mr. [Mike] Kelley [district superintendent] and Mr. [Mike] Gilley [assistant superintendent], and I work with a great faculty and staff here at the high school.” Pennington acknowledges there is a natural gulf between the students and a principal and said he would prefer to be able to work more directly with them.

“Administrators have an impact [on students] in the grand scheme of things, but more than anything else in our business, it’s what goes on in the classroom that makes a difference,” he said. “This is a decision to get my ‘boots back on the ground;’ so to speak...to have a more direct impact on the lives of students.” In addition, Pennington wants to return to his educational roots. “I miss teaching history,” he said. “Since I’ve given up coaching, I’ve become a pretty active reader and my interests have gravitated back to my undergrad studies.” According to Pennington, this decision has been a long time coming. “This is not a decision that we (our family) made overnight,” he said. “There have been a lot of discussions and prayers over the last six months. “I didn’t want to wait until this

summer to give my notice because I wanted Mr. Kelley to have plenty of time to select the right person for SHS.” Kelley said that the hiring process has begun. “The challenges of leading a high school campus through March, April, and May are incredible,” he said. “Mr. Pennington will wrap most or all of those things up here before we hire someone new. “With that in mind, we will not begin formally reviewing applications until after Spring Break. Interviews won’t begin until, at the very earliest, late March.” Everyone who remembers his own educational experience remembers teachers, not methods and techniques. The teacher is the kingpin of the educational system. ~Sidney Hook

Veteran teacher about all things ag Swanzy a track mark k. campbell Tony Pearson has taught ag in schools for 20 years. He’s seen it ebb and flow, witnessed technology affect all facets of agriculture. And, with all the changes, he still loves it. “There are lots of good things in ag,” he told Springtown Optimists March 4. At Springtown High School, the Future Farmers of America program is involved in a bevy of activities, including major stock shows. He is currently buying animals for the upcoming Parker County Livestock Show in June. Almost 50 Springtown youth will participate in that event, Pearson said. His attempts at purchasing animals brought an unusual topic to the fore – the disease known as PED, porcine epidemic diarrhea. Pearson said the “horrific” disease is wiping out pig populations in the Northeast and the epidemic is spreading, including this direction. He told a story of trying to buy animals and being kept miles from the purchase farm by a wary seller. Boots, birds, and tires can spread the deadly disease and sellers are exceptionally cautious about visitors. In some cases, purchasers are kept as far as 12 miles away, the ag teacher said. Pearson said, “You won’t

hear about PED on the news yet, but you’ll hear about it when pork prices go up.” PED kills infant pigs especially quickly, he said. The disease has resulted in “bio-security” – measures taken to secure the safety of animals. Aside from the Northeast, PED is rampant in Iowa, Illinois and some Southeast states like North and South Carolina. “There are just a few cases in Texas,” he said. “But the big thing is, it’s moving.” At times, the disease has been reported to be advancing as much as 12 miles daily, he said. Pearson said solving the PED problem is a major reason why it’s important for kids today to study animal science. SHS ag students are now offered a variety of options; it’s not just raising animals anymore, Pearson said. “There has been a lot of growth in ag,” he said. Springtown ISD has had a great deal of success in areas like “ag advocacy” where SHS advanced to state after winning district and area. “We had not been to state in years,” he said, adding that teacher Emily Grant spearheaded that team’s success. Other areas of study include public speaking and online record keeping, he said. Plus, a garden is going in next to the ag building, giving students a chance to plant and

Tony pearson, SISD ag teacher, said educating youth is crucial to stopping animal diseases and protecting our future food supply. Photo by Mark K. Campbell grow. Pearson said supporting the schools is one way to help the SISD ag program. Another is to attend fundraisers. The March 28 Benefit Dinner at the SHS cafeteria funds students’ showings at the Parker

County Livestock Show, he said. “Ag is always changing,” Pearson said. And keeping youth abreast of those changes is vital, he noted: “These ag kids will be the ones protecting our food supply in the future.”

by mark k. campbell Springtown’s Eddy Swanzy continues to rake in track and field awards at Senior Games events. At College Station Feb. 23, Swanzy placed in four different categories. In the Brazos Valley Senior Games, he won the high jump, finished second in pole vaulting, took the bronze in the long jump, and was fourth in javelin.

OPINION Thursday, March 6, 2014

Gotta have it! Fessing up to being a cheater

eah, I cheated. Please don’t tell the Bride. She was out of town, I was alone, and, suddenly, there sat such lusciousness, tempting me with all the ingredients a man like me desires, lusts for, has got to have – I’m not made of steel! I had to have it! And I did. And, man, that macaroni and cheese was worth it! I have one of those loving Brides who monitors every morsel of food intake “because I love you.” She disagrees with my food theory: Eat everything you can for a long as you can before some sort of disease forces you to change. No one on their deathbed ever said, “Thank goodness I didn’t eat too many chocolate donuts!” Or the converse: “Man, I’m glad I choked down

so much kale before I succumbed!” An older friend and I occasionally commiserate about how aging is not only a bummer but sometimes literally painful. His shoulder is forever hurting from decades of baseball/softball and my ever-warping arthritic fingers wake me up at night with shooting pains. But we both agree that there’s something Father Time has not snatched from us yet – the joy of eating. When together, we eat chicken strips and hamburgers and enchiladas and ice cream and other manna from heaven. The Bride lies to me sometimes, I’m sure. She says that salads taste good. I think women make that claim because there’s something in their DNA that says they must say that, like cooing over clearly ugly babies or touching every rack at Kohl’s.

I say salad is not tasty. I confess, my diet is terrible. Still, with a beach vacation slated for late summer, I’m eyeing getting into better shape, to ON YOUR promising don a SpeeMARK do thong. (I know if Mark K. Campbell don’t that exists but there’s some money to be made there, gag money – in every sense of the word.) My way of losing weight drives the Bride crazy. It’s very low carb and anti-sugar – sadly my two favorite things in the world.

But I abstain, run some extra miles, and, voila!, I can get 10 pounds off in a couple of weeks. The best part is breakfast which consists of four or five eggs and 10 or so pieces of bacon. This mortifies the Bride who will nibble on the edge of a bagel and, perhaps, ingest some free-range oatmeal with some sort of organic fruit atop it. Even more frustrating for my beloved is that such crazy eating – gallons of diet Coke and the majority of a pig some days – does not affect my medical numbers in the least. Cholesterol? No problem, well under suggested guidelines. Triglycerides which should be in six digits by the amount of sugar I normally gobble daily? Perfect. To exact her revenge, the Bride will not acquiesce to my suggestions that she work out a little. She will not exer-

cise and doesn’t have to. God loves us all but some more than others, apparently, judging by the fact that she looks super with such little physical effort. After surviving the High Impact Aerobics Plague of the 1980s, she eschews all exercising. She’s one of those who gets her workout by gardening and “moving around a lot.” So, I run then eat Blue Bell. She Facebooks and has celery. The Bride is especially leery of my intake of fake foods. Around her, I’ll pretend to eat some “good” food; I can choke down “spring mix” salad, whatever that is. Then, when the Bride is out of town, I’ll visit my secret love: the Velveeta and shell macaroni in the cupboard. Oh, baby! Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and the lady in the donut shop said was worried when he had not been seen in there recently.

Marrying a new soldier: Mary Custis Lee, Part 2

s Mary grew, her intellectual talents were not overlooked. In her early teens, she was already reading in French, Greek, and Latin. She prided herself on reading several newspapers a day to keep abreast on current events. She enjoyed history and was thrilled to meet 67-year-old Marquis de Lafayette in 1824 when he spent three days visiting Arlington. “Although history stirred her, her real passion was art; she was a very talented self-taught painter, choosing to paint the very beauty that surrounded her at Arlington. Those who knew Mary never described her as having a distinguished outer beauty – she had inherited her father's sharp nose and chin – but they were captivated by her grace, charm, and wit. During her late teens, she was considered a social butterfly and many were drawn to her magnetic personality. At 17, she was introduced to, and briefly courted by, 32-year-old, dashing Sam Houston. Her heart was unmoved. “Instead, her joy was founded in a

man she'd known since childhood. His name was Robert E Lee. The two were distantly related and often played together at the Ravensworth estate, which was owned by William Fitzhugh, Mary's uncle. “In 1824, 16-year-old Mary wasn't surprised to learn that Robert received an appointment at West Point. He was intelligent, studious and responsibleall traits she admired. Unlike her, he excelled in math, the very subject that she was weakest. From 1824 through 1827, the two grew closer and Mary timed a visit to Kinloch, home of a distant cousin, the same time she knew Robert would be there visiting. It was during this visit, Mary realized with certainty she loved Robert and wanted to marry him. “Robert graduated from West Point second in his class and demerit-free in 1829. He journeyed to Arlington for a visit and it was during that time, he asked his “Molly” to marry him. She gave him a resounding yes. “After his visit, they relied on letters to share their intimate feelings – letters that Mary never hesitated to share with her mother. However, when Rob-

ert found out, he expressed his discomfort that his intimate thoughts went beyond Mary's eyes. She respected his request to have his most private thoughts read HISTORICAL only by her never HIGHLIGHTS and again shared a Laurie Moseley letter with her mother. “During this time, Mary also began a prayer journal that clearly conveyed her commitment to her faith in God. In this journal she also wrote of her apprehension concerning Robert's faith, which didn't appear to be as strong as hers – a fact she would struggle with for some time. Nonetheless, they two set a wedding date of June 30, 1831 and the planning for the Arlington social event of the year was underway. “In November 1830, Mary became gravely ill and wasn't expected to live.

Just as she resigned herself to death and placed herself in God's hands, she began to recover. As her body slowly regained its strength, her commitment to God was even more cemented; she had faced death and hadn't been afraid. “After weeks of recuperation, the wedding day had arrived. During the service, Mary recalled being taken aback by how handsome Robert looked with his newly-grown sidewhiskers. Robert, in turn, was impressed with her radiance and poise. She had been the envy of many of the young women in attendance. Robert humorously recalled later that the minister had read the vows of the Episcopal service “as if he had been reading my death warrant.” “After the ceremony, the newlyweds, along with Mary's mother, journeyed to Ravensworth for a visit. There, Mary once again fell ill with fever. This time her recovery was slower and even when she had recovered and was ready to travel, Robert noticed that the illness, following so closely on the heels of the previous one, had taken its toll on her. She appeared tired and drawn and never fully recovered

her coloring. This would be the beginning of many physical ailments that would beset her. “A month prior to the wedding, Robert had received news of his new assignment – Old Point Comfort where Fort Monroe was under construction. The news had pleased the Custis family; it meant Mary would remain close to Arlington. Even so, both mother and daughter were faced with somber adjustments when she moved away. Her mother was faced with the loss of the one person she'd doted on most of her life and Mary was faced with the challenges of managing a household without the slaves or her mother nearby to direct matters. “Robert picked up on Mary's confusion with taking care of the house and often teased her about her shortcomings and once confided in a letter to a friend, “Mrs. L is somewhat addicted to laziness and forgetfulness in her housekeeping…but she does her best, or in her mother's words, 'The Spirit is willing but the flesh is weak.'” Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

Federal court rules on same-sex marriage

n the final week before Tuesday, March 4, Primary Election Day, candidates put on final pushes in hopes of getting enough votes to be their party’s nominee for the general election in November. A ruling by a San Antonio federal court on Feb. 26 moved a hot-button issue front and center, giving candidates a lastminute opportunity to delineate their stand. In a case brought by two same-sex couples, San Antonio U.S. District Judge Orlando Garcia declared unconstitutional the Texas law and a related state constitutional amendment that prohibit samesex marriage and the recognition of out-of-state same-sex marriages. On page 46 of his ruling, Garcia wrote, “Equal treatment of all individuals under the law is not merely an aspiration — it is a constitutional mandate. Consequently, equal protection is at the heart of our legal system and is essential for the ex-

istence of a free society.” Right away, however, Garcia placed a stay on his order preventing the state from enforcing those laws, pending an appeal filed by the Texas attorney general’s office in the Fifth Circuit U.S. Court of Appeals. Gov. Rick Perry reacted, saying, “It is not the role of the federal government to overturn the will of our citizens. The 10th Amendment guarantees Texas voters the freedom to make these decisions and this is yet another attempt to achieve via the courts what couldn’t be achieved at the ballot box.” Texas Roman Catholic Bishops issued a joint statement expressing disappointment in the court’s decision. “There are “good, wellmeaning people” on both sides of the issue, said Texas Attorney General and GOP gubernatorial candidate Greg Abbott. But, he added, “The Texas Constitution defines marriage as between one man and one woman. If the Fifth Circuit honors those

p r e c edents, then tod a y ’s decision should be overturned and the Texas Constitution will STATE be upheld.” CAPITAL Te x a s HIGHLIGHTS D e m o Ed Sterling cP raart ti yc Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa, in a statement released after Judge Garcia’s ruling, said: “The Texas Democratic Party believes that everyone should have the right to be with the person they love and we look forward to the day in Texas when everyone can marry who they love. This is a historic day for the LGBT (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transsexual) community and the state of Tex-

as. As Dr. (Martin Luther) King (Jr.) once stated, ‘The arc of the moral universe is long, but it bends towards justice.’ Today, all Texans can celebrate that we are one step closer to justice and equality for all.” Awareness day is proclaimed Gov. Perry proclaimed Feb. 27 as Human Trafficking Awareness Day in Texas, saying the key “to preventing and ending this horrible crime is public awareness that millions still suffer exploitation around the nation and the world.” He urged Texans to join him “in bringing awareness to this important issue as we continue to fight to bring justice to human trafficking offenders, and help to their victims.” Schools achieve progress State Comptroller Susan Combs on Feb. 26 called attention to the new “Financial Allocation Study for Texas” available at the website fastexas.org which shows an increase

in school districts earning the highest ranking of five stars. “FAST” was created by the comptroller’s office in response to 2009 legislation directing the agency to “identify school districts and campuses that use resource allocation practices that contribute to high academic achievement and cost-effective operations.” “I am pleased to see more schools being better stewards of our citizens’ tax dollars while achieving better academic outcomes,” Combs said. Chair lauds pipeline progress Barry Smitherman, Texas Railroad Commission chairman and Republican candidate for the office of Texas attorney general, spoke in Beaumont Feb. 26 in a ceremony marking the “start of operation” of TransCanada’s Gulf Coast Pipeline Project. “On behalf of the Texas Railroad Commission and the people of Texas, I welcome the Gulf Coast Pipeline project and look forward to hearing

that the Keystone XL Pipeline, its northern leg, is approved as soon as possible in Washington, D.C.” A presidential permit has not been granted to complete the project. Interim charges announced Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst on Feb. 26 publicized interim charges for the Senate Committee on Criminal Justice. Dewhurst, who presides over the Senate and is campaigning to be the Republican Party’s nominee for lieutenant governor in the November general election, asked the committee to study and make recommendations on “health within the prison system” and “jail diversion for mentally ill” before the next Texas Legislature convenes in regular session in January 2015. Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

Ancient fish back in Texas They’re back. Scary and queer looking, an ancient fish is back swimming in Texas waters. Fifty paddlefish were released into Caddo Lake in East Texas – on the Louisiana border – in an experiment to see if further expansion of the fish program is feasible. Paddlefish, with long mouths and extended “spatula” noses, can live up to 30 years, grow seven feet long, and weigh 200 pounds. They are the among the oldest surviving fish in North America, having lived in the

Mississippi River Basin since the days of the dinosaurs. Researchers believe the fish’s decline in Texas came when a dam was built on Big Cypress Bayou to create Lake O’ the Pines in 1959. The dam’s creation changed sediment flow which covered gravel beds essential for paddlefish to spawn. To combat that, a 1,500-foot gravel bar was restored in 2008 on the bayou near Jefferson. Former rock star Don Henley of the Eagles is chairman of the Caddo Lake Institute and helped instigate the program.

Lady Porcupine lifters pumped up for state SHS 5 going for Corpus Christi gold by MARK K. CAMPbeLL Lots of teenagers head to Corpus Christi around this time of year since Spring Break is near. But five Lady Porcupines will venture there to compete. A quintet of Springtown powerlifters are bound to the state event in Corpus this weekend. That group: Jocelyn Pando, Martha Chavez, Tabitha Rogers, Melissa Perrone, and Lizeth Melendez. The state trip is the capper to a remarkable season where the Lady Porcupine team won every meet it entered. Aside form the five above, the victorious team consisted of Lizbeth Melendez, Allison Roglin, Chayton Seabourn, and Kati Roglin. The SHS girls have a good chance to place at state, coach Missy Castro said. In fact, only five pounds separates several athletes from each other in most classes, she said. Perrone heads to Corpus ranked No. 2 in the state. Chavez is fourth in Texas. After winning district, Springtown took the team title in Region 6, Division 2.

Softball clobbers Tolar First-year coach Amy Balke’s Lady Porcupines got in several more games, preparing for district play. In a Granbury tournament, Springtown, opened by popping Everman 12-10. Kelsey Hinson and Kelsey Huff walloped back-to-back home runs in the win. Next, Ekko Hurst smashed a four-bagger in an 8-7 loss to Arlington Seguin. SHS also faced Snyder, No-

lan Catholic, and Clifton. In the latter game, Balke said the Lady Porcupines scored 5 runs in the fourth inning, 3 coming on another homer by Huff. “But we couldn’t score after that,” Balke recalled. Back home at the Springtown diamond – finally – the Lady Porcupines beat Tolar 4-2 in some chilly weather March 4. Huff pitched and mowed down the Lady Rattlers, fan-

Hardball Porcupines win Springtown played in Glen Rose in the Porcupines’ second baseball tournament of the year. SHS (3-3) defeated 6-3A rival Castleberry, lost to Clifton 4-2, and topped Whitney 8-2. Tyler Hickman got the victory over Castleberry and the

winner of the Whitney game was Ryan Hester. Against Clifton, Collin Rector took the loss, coach Stan Gideon said. Shining at the plate were Garrett Mauldin and Rector, the first-year coach recalled. “It was a solid day of play for SHS baseball,” Gideon said.

Springtown’s pool ended up in a three-way tie at 2-1; Clifton advanced to the top round by virtue of allow one less run than the Porcupines. At SHS’ next tournament in Kemp March 6-8, the Porcupines will face Fairfield, Scurry-Rosser, Quinlin Ford, and Eustace.

Porcupines 2nd in Ram Relays BY MARK K. CAMPBELL In the midst of a brutal winter came a glorious Feb. 28 and that’s when Springtown raced at Mineral Wells. There were plenty of highlights for the boys and girls teams. The boys varsity fi nished second with 107 points. Porcupines were golden in four different events – 400 (Mateo Herrera, 53.81 seconds); Dillon Springfi eld (300 hurdles, 39.62); Benji Brokenshire (pole vault, 15 feet, 6 inches); and the 4x400 team

(Ricardo Reynoso, Chanse Lee, Evan Glesne, Tyler Farris). Silvers went to the 4x100 team that was the same as the 4x400, Farris in the 200 (22.97), and Springfi eld in the 110 hurdles (15.72). Another top hurdler, Ryan Snow, was pulled out after suffering some hamstring pain, coach Brad Legan said. The varsity girls jumped. Savannah Sutton won the

long jump in 16-7.75 and teammate Kelly Boyett took fi fth, leaping 15-4. In the triple jump, Kendyl Dean fi nished as the runner-up sailing 34-7.5. From there, SHS ran at the JV level. The foursome of Sutton, Kristine Camacho, Dean, and Brandy Branson won all three relay races. In the longest race of the day, Harley Williams was golden in

the 3200 in 13:24.99. For the boys JV, fi ve was the magic number as several Porcupines ended up there. Two relays teams were fi fth and so was Omar Lopez in the 300 hurdles (49.89) and Jacob Deskins in the long jump (180.25). Freshman Books Pennington fi nished fi fth in the high jump (5-4) and the triple jump (35-9). SHS ran in Granbury Mar. 6.

On a sunny, windy Feb. 28, Springtown competed at the annual Ram Relays in Mineral Wells. Racing around the oval for SHS (clockwise from left) Jackson Walker; Luis Martinez and Sam Lund (in cast); and Brandy Branson (left) and Kristine Camocho. Photos by Mark K. Campbell

Movie Man

Thursday, March 6, 2014

Groovy hippie Jesus a Hollywood throwback We've discussed before about great untapped movie audiences – Hispanics and Christians to name a couple. The former is proving its clout with recent Spanishspeaking movies becoming successes in America, like Instructions Not Included which made a whopping $44.5 million in the U.S. last fall. The latter (to which the Movie Man belongs) is more fi ckle. We made The Passion of the Christ (2004, Movie Man No. 549, an 8) the biggest moneymaking R-rated movie of alltime. But that was actually a wellmade, professional film. Too often, “Christian movies” are mediocre productions at best (Fireproof, The Nativity Story [2006, MM #694, 6]) or just bad (The Omega Code [1999, MM #310, 4]) and they succeed mainly through DVD sales and study guides to evangelical groups. Christians hunger for another Passion of the Christ. Son of God is not it. But a couple of movies coming later this year just might be.

liberties being taking to make Moses’ tale cinematic. There is also already substantial grumbling about Noah, which boasts a great trailer. Groups that proclaim that “the King James was good enough for my Granny and it's good enough for me!” and that rock 'n' roll is “the devil's music” are locking and loading for Noah. You can imagine fundamentalist concerns when director Darren Aronofsky says he sees Noah as “a dark character with survivor's guilt” – hey, that's not in the Bible! As with Exodus, Noah should be eye-popping on the big screen; Aronofsky made Black Swan (2010, MM #914, 6) and a movie that always lands on the wow-that-wasfreaky-and-I-never-want-tosee-it-again list, Requiem for a Dream (2000, and not for the timid). Russell Crowe seems like a good choice for Noah. And a few other stars are sprinkled in – Jennifer Connelly, Anthony Hopkins, Emma Watson.

Audience questions Geren entertained question from Rotarians. About Medicaid, Geren was quick to say, “We will not be part of Obamacare, I’ll just tell you that.” Currently, Medicaid costs 30 percent of the Texas budget and is growing, he said. Geren added that he believes some states will see their budgets busted because of Medicaid – but not Texas. The cost of fuel and gas taxes was raised. Geren said the process that sent funds from gas taxes to the Department of Public Safety has been stopped. Overall, fewer dollars are coming in via gas taxes because of more fuel efficient vehicles, natural gas vehicles, and electric cars. “We must find a way to recover those costs,” Geren said. When asked about a pair of bridges still not constructed on

Highway 199, he said the project was a priority and he was working on it.” He must work with TxDOT – Texas Department of Transportation – and arrive at new figures, Geren said. “I will work my tail off to get those bridges done,” he vowed. What about immigration? Geren said that nothing could be done about the influx of illegals across the Mexican border until it gets “sealed. Until then, we’re wasting our time. It’s a merry-go-round down there.” State representative charlie Geren discussed several statewide He added and local issues with the azle rotary club Feb. 27. that immigrants Photo by Mark K.

Future governing make up When legislators reconvene on Jan. 15, 2015 for the next regular session, the House and Senate will look quite differently than the group assembled in 2013, Geren said. Before then, there will be a new governor elected and runoffs are likely for comptroller, lieutenant governor, and attorney general, he said. “There are some good candidates. It could be May before

Upcoming issues Geren said the Texas Constitution requires a balanced budget and that will be a major focus at the new session. He added that he had some “priority items” he would assess when the House and Senate get back together. His first efforts would go toward remedying the water situation for Blue Mound, he said. Other topics he will cover next year include public education, transportation, and “dark money.” Public education will always be a priority for him, Geren said. “Dark money” is a concern, the rep said. Geren said recent negative political advertisements were funded by “dark money” – con-

tributions from unnamed sources to campaigns. He said he would work toward a process that would require all “dark money” sources be identified. That’s currently a requirement for political action committees and labor unions. Some “dark money” is coming from other states. He said gambling interests from Oklahoma and Las Vegas spend funds here to make sure Texas does not permit gambling. Not that gambling has much of a chance of happening in the state right now: “It will not pass until Texas is strapped for cash.”

Hwy. 51

The last session Still, there were positives, he said – like the restoring of some money to education and the passage of a water bill. He said he was pleased that military veterans can now avoid having to serve one-year apprenticeships for specific jobs when soldiers return to civilian lives. “That took six years to pass,” he said. Geren noted that he was proud that he got a three percent increase to retired teachers’ pensions, the first since 2001. He said he oversaw the approval of a new coliseum for Fort Worth. Geren noted the Rainy Day Fund still bulges with $8 billion.

we know,” he said, quickly adding, “Texas is not turning blue any time soon.” Geren addressed the growing Hispanic population in Texas and its potential effect on voting. Locally, the Castleberry school district is comprised of 64 percent Hispanics. In the Azle ISD, that number is 16 to 17 percent and rising about one percent a year, Dr. Ray Lea said from the audience. In the 2012 presidential race, 40 percent of Hispanics voted, but that number was only 22 percent in Texas. However, that number will surely rise, Geren said. “They will be a strong force in the future,” he said. “Texas will have a different face than it does today.”

Hwy. 51

by mark k. campbell At the Feb. 27 meeting of the Azle Rotary Club, State Representative Charlie Geren discussed a variety of topics. A member of the club, Geren took to the podium and initially recapped the previous legislative session, one he deemed “tough, fun, and frustrating.”
