Pearson is RRC seismologist Seismologist, former Texas ranch manager, strong advocate for protecting and conserving Texas groundwater and surface water. Those are just a few words that describe Dr. David Craig Pearson, who was hired March 28 by the Railroad Commission of Texas to be its staff seismologist. Hired in direct response to the infamous “30 earthquakes in 60 days” that occurred mostly in November and December 2013 in and around the Azle area, Pearson is also a former team leader for a Los Alamos National Laboratory seismic, experimental fi eld team, and holds a doctorate in geophysics from Southern Methodist University. Many in this area quickly zeroed in on the oil and gas industry – specifi cally its practice of high-pressure disposal of waste water from fracking operations into deep disposal wells – as a possible cause for the unprecedented tremors. “My objective is to develop a broad understanding of the impact of oil and gas extraction activities on the day-to-

Who let the dog out? Children’s author and his canine companions visit SES

BY NATALIE GENTRY Springtown Elementary School (SES) hosted children’s book author, David M. Sargent, Jr. on April 11. Sargent’s presentation mixed his experience of becoming an author with his love of being a responsible dog owner. He focused his talk on the importance of reading and how that ability will help the students receive the best education possible. To add to the fun, the author had four of his doggie friends with him. Sargent used the addition of the dogs to help inspire the children’s imaginations through the universal love of animals. Tatum, Daphne, Emma, and Spike entertained the students with a variety of tricks that highlighted their different personalities. Sargent read one of his books, Emma!, to students and asked them how they related to the PLEASE SEE SEISMOLOGIST, PAGE 2A. mischievous misadventures of One of Sargent’s canine companions – Tatum, self-prothe dachshund. claimed queen of the universe – performs a trick for the The students Children’s book author, were enthusiastic students at SES during the author’s April 11 visit.

day lives of Texas residents,” Pearson said. “I believe the Railroad Commission must be able to quickly and factually determine the accurate location of all earthquakes in the state and be able to determine the cause of earthquakes, be they natural or man-made. “I plan to work to help clarify the root cause of earthquakes occurring by bringing all stakeholders’ concerns, questions, ideas and insights together to identify the best possible solutions,” Pearson said. Pearson was a graduate research assistant to Dr. Brian Stump while he was a PhD grad student at SMU. Stump is a member of the SMU earthquake team currently studying north Texas seismicity. Pearson has experience with many types of man-made earthquakes from nuclear explosions, coal mining blasts and controlled seismic sources for exploration geophysics. He has also participated as an author on numerous academic papers on these subjects.

On your mark, get set, Goshen! Scores ran in the Porcupine Promenade The 4th Annual Porcupine Promenade was the biggest and best yet, according to Race Coordinator Eddie Wilkerson. “This year, we’ve been blessed with more runners, more sponsors and more vendors than in any of the three previous races.” Last Saturday, 179 runners turned out to take on the U.S. Track and Field Certified course, which began and ended in the Goshen Creek Elementary parking lot. A one-mile Fun Run for students started off the day’s events. Winners included: Six-year-old and under winners were Kinley Evans and Rance Willis with Kit Carpenter coming in second for the boys. In the seven-nine years old category, Macy Pennington and Rhett Steen came in first place and Maggie Stone and Bodee Cato took second place. Shelby Pickle and Ethan Elliott took first place in the 10 to 12-ears-old category while Ashlyn Dodson and Christian Elliot finished second place. The fun run was followed by a 5K Run for all ages. Bryan Ruiz, of Brock, turned in a blazing time of 16 minutes, 57 seconds to set a new course record and take home the Fastest Male honors. Chari Cato completed the loop in 23:07 to win the Fastest Female award. In the 12 and under category, first place was awarded to Hanna Phares (26:27) and Christian Gaston (23:39). First place for the 13-19 di-

A year ago the First United Methodist church began a Snack Pack Ministry to help provide snacks and food items to needy children each weekend. These children are fed through the National School Lunch program during school days, but they have limited supplies of food during the weekend. The Snack Pack Ministry program began during the 20122013 school year and served approximately 30 students attending Springtown Elementary School. First United Methodist expanded the program this school year to include Goshen Creek Elementary School. During the year, the number of students identified as in need has increased from 70 to 90. Almost 60 percent of students enrolled in these two Springtown schools are considered economically disadvantaged. Hunger is painful and these children need help and support each weekend. The First United Methodist Church is asking for support to continue this ministry through the end of the school year as well as assistance for start-up food supplies for next year. The cost per child is $15 a month. Donations can be made to the First United Methodist Church, P.O. Box 266, Springtown, Texas 76082.

It’s time for the Tabernacle

Runners line up in preparation for the 4th annual Porcupine Promenade last Saturday. vision went to Colby Bobbitt with a time of 19:26 and Harlie Phares with a time of 25:34. In the Masters category for runners over 40, Ryan Montcalm and Susan Croft snagged the honors for Fastest Male and Female Masters, respectively. This year’s trophy for the largest team participation was ironically awarded to a neighboring elementary school – the Reno Rocket Runners turned out in force with 18 participants in bright green shirts to participate in the two races. Lisa Strein, counselor at Reno Elementary and organizer of the team, teased that they all wanted to have their picture made with the Goshen Elementary principal. Proceeds of the race will benefit the Goshen Creek PTA, which exists to support the Teachers and Students of Gos-

hen Creek Elementary School. Complete Porcupine Promenade results and times of the 5k race are available at http:// www.run-time.com/Results. aspx

Track title comes down to final race

Springtown finishes 2nd to Kennedale turned into the wind in the final l00 meters of the 4x400 relay. And he was reeling in the leader from Kennedale. Going into the race, the Porcupines and Wildcats were neck-and-neck for the team title. If SHS could win and Kennedale finish third – and that seemed possible with a solid Mineral Wells squad in the blocks, too – then Springtown would win the team championship. It became evident early on that that was not going to happen as Kennedale ran strong. But the Porcupine foursome was also tough. On the anchor leg, Mateo Herrera passed the baton the Springfield. The junior zoomed around the back stretch with a roaring south wind behind him. In the final straightaway – now running into that gale – Springfield continue to close the gap. But he ran out of space. Kennedale nipped Springtown 3:29.89 to 3:29.99. The top four finishers in each varsity event advanced to the Area round. That meet was slated for Graham but was moved to Springtown late. Contested on Wednesday, April 15, results were not available at press time.

CAMPbELL The second day of the District 6-3A Track and Field Championships conducted at Porcupine Stadium April 9-10 was very windy.

But that didn’t seem to be deterring Dillion Springfield. Already the winner of a pair of gold medals from earlier hurdling events – where he demolished the field – the Porcupine

Boys soccer standouts lauded

Softball ladies await playoff foe Springtown will be 3rd in 6-3A Not only will the Lady Porcupine softball team return to the postseason, but Springtown will probably see the same bi-district foe as in 2013. SHS took care of Lake Worth 10-4 and secured third place in 6-3A. A loss to Mineral Wells settled the Lady Porcupines into third place, first-year coach Amy Balke said. That means Springtown will probably see the same playoff team as last year – Iowa Park, Balke said. “I will know for sure after the Friday [Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis] game,” the coach said. “We will most likely play Iowa Park.” In the Lake Worth victory, plenty of Lady Porcupines hit safely. Kelsey Huff walloped a 2-run homer. Julia Perez swatted a pair of singles and collected 2 RBI.

Also picking up base hits were Kaitlyn Hill, Karrah Cooper, Gabby Casanova, Chayton Seabourn, Kelsey Hinson, and Ekko Hurst. In 2013, Iowa Park was stateranked and Springtown gave them a scare. After Springtown beat Castleberry in a play-in for the playoffs, SHS tangled with the Lady Hawks at Mineral Wells. The Lady Porcupines tied the game 1-1 in the sixth inning, much to the excitement of the vocal Springtown crowd. Unfortunately, some fielding miscues in the bottom half of the inning let in three runs and Iowa Park won, 4-1. This season, there’s a new coach in Balke but some of those playoff-hardened players return – among them participants in the inning that drew SHS even in 2013: Hill and Hinson. Playoffs begin Friday, April Lady Porcupine Karrah Cooper turns on a pitch. Springtown is readying for the playoffs. Photo by Mark K. Campbell 25.

The Spirngtown boys soccer team season ended with SHS being shut out of the postseason. However, several Porcupines were named All-District by coaches. Two Springtown athletes were named to the Second Team. Goal keeper Evan Glesne was picked there and so was Ricardo Reynoso.

A trio of Porcupines were named Honorable Mention – Eric Avalos, David Cobos, and Thiago Peredo. After years in a brutal district where Springtown often played in a higher district classification, that changes next season. SHS’ new district – 3-4A – will include only Burkburnett, Decatur, and Wichita Falls Hirschi.

Final baseball games will determine postseason fate

Stan Gideon

A big win over rival Mineral Wells shot Springtown into a near-certainty when it comes to the postseason. By beating the Rams 6-1, SHS rebounded from a 7-0 loss to Lake Worth. The worst case scenario for the Porcupines is to lose out – even though one game is with cellar-dwelling Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis – and to have Lake Worth win their final two games. Both teams could theoretically end up 4-6 and tied for fourth place. A play-in for the playoffs game could then eliminate Springtown. On the positive side, SHS could rocket all the way up to a tie for second place if things fall

right. Despite the possibilities, one aspect is clear: “A Springtown win or a Lake Worth loss will clinch a spot for us,” Coach Stan Gideon said. The victory over Mineral Wells was big. Sophomore Jake Jordan got the crucial victory. Gideon said, “Our pitching, offense, and defense were ex-

cellent.” Lead-off hitter Ryan Neal, another sophomore, fueled the victory with a pair of triples. Springtown finished with a trio of three-baggers after Collin Rector got one, too. Tyler Hickman belted a double and several other Porcupines hit safely., Gideon said. If SHS takes care of business against Diamond Hill-Jarvis on April 18, Springtown won’t have to sweat the regular season finale against Kennedale on April 22. That game is Senior Night. And by the time it arrives, the Porcupines will likely already be safely locked into the playoffs.

Four presidents gather when LBJ School in Austin hosts civil rights summit

resident Barack Obama and former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush spoke at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library’s Civil Rights Summit, held April 8-10 in Austin. The summit marked the 50th anniversary of President Johnson’s efforts culminating in Congress’ passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Johnson’s signing the bill into law on July 2, 1964. “As we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, we honor the men and women who made it possible,” President Obama said in his address. “We recall the countless unheralded Americans, black and white, students and scholars, preachers and housekeepers whose names are etched not on monuments, but in the hearts of their loved ones and in the fabric of the country they helped to change. But we also gather here deep in the heart of the state that shaped (President Johnson), to recall one giant man’s remarkable efforts to make real the promise of our founding: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’” Obama and the past presidents each uttered words to the effect that while Johnson’s accomplishments serve as durable bridges to a better America, every generation has civil rights challenges that must be recognized and addressed, and the value of teaching and learning about the work of predecessors is critical to the health of the nation. Panels composed of historians, scholars, current and former public officials and noted personalities addressed a range of topics, including: LBJ and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., heroes of the civil rights movement, social justice in the 21st century, immigration policy, education, gay mar-

riage, music and social consciousness and professional sports. Presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin said, and others agreed, LBJ’s mastery of the legislaSTATE tive process and CAPITAL effective use of power of the HIGHLIGHTS the White House proved keys to Ed Sterling the success of the civil rights law, the voting rights law, the fair housing law, Medicaid, Medicare and other laws and federal programs that have been the legacy of the Johnson presidency and central to American life over the last half century. In their panel discussion, former NAACP President Julian Bond, U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., and former Ambassador to the United Nations Andrew Young – associates of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. – recounted their personal involvement in the movement. Each of the three credited many others and acknowledged the work of the ranks of the unnamed who struggled in the 1950s and 1960s to unravel racial segregation across the South, and pushed for equal protection and equal access, while generating worldwide awareness and spurring changes in hearts and minds across the United States.

Let’s make history!

The end for the general’s wife: Mary Custis Lee, Part 8

n September, 1865, Robert accepted the position of president of financially-ailing Washington College in Lexington, Virginia and journeyed to Lexington to set up housekeeping. Custis received a position at VMI, Rob and Rooney continued rebuilding White House, which had been burned to the ground by the Yankees, daughter Mary traveled, and Agnes and Mildred stayed behind to care for their mother. “Mary’s first task was to oversee the unearthing of the Washington treasures buried for safekeeping before the war. She was disheartened to find that the Washington letters and papers had been inadvertently exposed to the elements over the years and were rotted. None could be salvaged and she took to the task of burning them herself. ‘I almost wept as I had to commit to the flames papers that had been cherished for nearly a century…’ The silver was recovered, as well as the Washington carpets and Mary was pleased to display those items in her new home in

Lexington where she was an admired hostess. “In 1869, President Johnson authorized the return to Mary of all the personal property that had been removed from Arlington; however, Congress stepped in and concluded the articles were ‘the property of the Father of his country, and as such are the property of the whole people and should not be committed to the custody of any one person, much less a rebel like General Lee.’ With that news, Mary’s hope of ever having any of her treasures returned died. “Her joy was found in sitting on the front porch in the cool evening with Robert when they would bask in the beauty and calm that surrounded them. Through this time together, Mary was able to see the slow decline in Robert’s health. One evening, as Robert had returned from a church meeting, he placed his hat and coat in his room and entered the dining room. Mary became alarmed at his appearance and called to Custis to assist his father. He was immediately

put to bed and slept almost continuously for two days and nights. At first, the doctor felt that Robert simply needed a rest, but after he failed to improve Mary stayed HISTORICAL at his bedside, HIGHLIGHTS knowing the Laurie Moseley end was near. “She wrote of his passing: ‘We all sat up all night every moment almost expecting to be his last. He lay breathing most heavily & the Dr. said entirely unconscious of pain. I sat with his hand in mine all moist with heavy perspiration & early in the morning and went into my room to change my clothes & get a cup of tea. When I went back he lay in much the same condition, only there were some more severe struggles for breath

– these became more frequent and intense & after 2 very severe ones, his breath seemed to pass away gently, & he so loved & admired now lies cold & insensible…’ “Mary’s incapacitating disease made it impossible for her to attend the October 15 funeral service for Robert. Instead, she remained at home and reread letters that Robert had sent to her during their courtship and early on in their marriage. The days passed and Mary received hundreds of condolences from across the country. With her health still deteriorating, her heart ached even more for one last look at Arlington. In June 1873, with the help of many individuals, she made the return trip to Arlington. “‘I rode out to my dear old home, so changed it seemed but as a dream of the past. I could not have realized that it was Arlington but for the few old oaks they had spared, & the trees planted on the lawn by the Gen’l & myself which are raising their tall branches to the Heaven which seems to smile on the desecration around

them.’ Mary was unable to exit the carriage, but was delighted when old servants still at Arlington came to see her. When it was time to leave, she didn’t look back. “Mary returned to Lexington in time to sit at Agnes’ deathbed and Mary, tired in body and spirit, drew her last breath in her sleep on Wednesday, November 5, 1873. With her passing, Custis took to fighting for the return of Arlington and in 1882 the Supreme Court ruled that Arlington had indeed been illegally taken and ordered it returned to the family. “Custis, the legal heir, had no desire to live among dead and sold it to the government for $150,000, half its estimated value. In 1901, President McKinley ordered all the Washington artifacts taken during the course of the war be returned to the family. Mary Custis Lee could now rest in peace.”

Pro tips from the Photographer of the Year

ow that I have been annointed as the Photographer of the Year by a bunch of guys somewhere, the April 14 appearance of the rare “blood moon” affords me the opportunity to pass on some hard earned expertise I have gleaned from over two decades of taking pictures. Set your camera on the ‘P’ setting. That’s about it. However, as an award-winning professional photojournalist, I am always looking to improve. That’s why it seems worthwhile to walk through the process that resulted in capturing the rare celestial event. (You might want to take these tips to heart. After blood moons on Oct. 8 this year and April 4 and Sept. 28 next year, there’s not another one until 2032. Some people believe that the unique series of lunar events is a precursor to End Times, so you might not have to worry Plate 1-2 about that 2032 part.) As you can clearly see in Plate 1-1, I was ex- perimenting with the camera setting. When taking pictures at night, it’s usually a good idea to dress appropriately. I was wearing a robe I won at a silent auction for $20 and little else. That became problematic since it was 35 degrees. Still, I professionally spun the dialie thing on the top of the camera and aimed it skyward! The slow shutter click meant trouble – it’s an indicator that you must hold the camera very steady. As mentioned, it was 35 degrees so I didn’t. What you get is Plate 1-1. Next, I turned the dial and fired off another shot, Plate 1-2. This did not result in what I would call a “professional” shot; it looks like my colonoscopy. I tried a third attempt, Plate 666 – on a new dial setting – right when the wind blew my robe open, Crickets silenced and nearby yapping coyotes shut up and bolted to distant pastures. Plate 1-1

From the garage behind me, the radio came on suddenly and loudly, to Air1, a religious station. The camera captured this image of something that appeared to be hurdling down from space. Perhaps the End Tim-

It Plate 666 seemed a lot to ask of a flash to ers were right! True, it wasn’t a travel 286,000 miles, but who trumpet blast but the Newsboys was I to argue with ‘P’?

to steady it, and pushed the button. That’s how the picture above was captured. So take it from the Photographer of the Year: Don’t be afraid to experiment. Then just set it on ‘P.’ Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and loves these digital times.

Movie Man

Thursday, April 17, 2014

Are you cool enough to ‘get’ this hipster’s latest? Some people like to go to the movies to escape. Some are curious about how a favorite novel might be adapted. Some love superheroes. Some dig spaceships or being scared. And some are snooty. The sort who think fi lm is art and any picture not trying to elevate the form is a colossal waste of time and energy. Only dullards go see Spider-Man; with noses in the air, the elite sniff at the common man and venture to the latest Lars von Trier “masterpiece.” About the film That’s where Wes Anderson comes in. He, too, is beloved by the pompous fi lmgoer, the sort who hails the obscure and disdains the popular. (Before the Movie Man gets too hoity-toity himself, he’ll admit that he sometimes attends movies with a positive outlook if he likes the director – Terrence Malick, for example. [Here’s a test: Go see 2011’s The Tree of Life; the Movie Man loved it and you will almost certainly wonder how that could be possible.]) Anderson certainly has skills. He is the classic hipsters’ director, the kind of guy who gets loaded down with adjectives like witty, whimsical, and original. Also pretentious, insufferable, and vainglorious. And, like Woody Allen, major actors not only line up to work with him, but Anderson has his own coterie of actors at his beck and call. Anderson devotees will laud him regardless of his output: “Most folks just can’t get him,” say the coffee-drinking, ostentatious poseurs. As a director, Anderson’s resume isn’t long. A 44-year-old Texan (from Houston), he has directed just eight full-length pictures. All are beloved by the groovy crowd. Anderson broke in with Bottle Rocket (1996), an expansion of an earlier short. His

most popular hipster movie is Rushmore (1998) and that was followed by his most successful box offi ce effort,The Royal Tanenbaums (2001, Movie Man No. 438, a 5). Successful is defi ned as $52.4 million for a Wes Anderson movie. It took three years for his next movie to arrive and sink: The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. A $50 million budget managed but $24 million in America. (However: “It’s not about the money, dude.”) The next fi lms he made all went mostly unseen: The Darjeeling Limited (2007), the stop-motion animated Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), and Moonrise Kingdom (2012). But the Movie Man isn’t a Wes Anderson hata. The director understands that he’s making movies, not fi lming plays. His camera zooms and tilts and retreats way, way back. You know – just like with Malick – you’re gonna get some sort of eye-popping sequence somewhere along the way. (That’s why the Movie Man, over two decades ago, created the “Best scene” subhead in every review – even the worst dud will have something worth viewing [even if briefly].) What Anderson isn’t is run of the mill. His movies might be grandiose, but in an era of sequels and blockbusters, that’s his allure. The plot A young writer (Jude Law) visits a fading hotel in the high mountains of a European country. There, he meets the owner, Zero Moustafa (F. Murray Abraham) who tells him that this grand old lady was once magnifi cent – and was run impeccably by a M. Gustave (Ralph Fiennes), the concierge. In 1932, the young Moustafa (Tony Revolori) is hired on as a lobby boy and eventually taken under Gustave’s wing. The concierge is a miasma of a man: He’s insistent on upholding the elegance and upscale demeanor

6 ... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man of the hotel, but at the same time, he is shockingly vulgar and beds every elderly socialite that visits. One of those dowagers, Madame D. (Tilda Swinton), dies and leaves Gustave a valuable painting – one that her son Dimitri (Adrien Brody) is desperate to keep. Gustave and Moustafa stash the picture, but the hunt is on for it. The suave Gustave ends up in jail, gets broken out, and with Moustafa, now his most trusted friend, and the lobby boy’s fi ancée Agatha (Saoirse Ronan), they fl ee – with the growing military power, led by Edward Norton on their trail. What works If you’re the sort of person who likes to see cameos by popular actors, TGBH is for you. Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Willem Defoe (all part of Anderson’s regular company), and Tom Wilkinson (who shows up in the opening, a preface to the 1932 flashback) all appear. So do Harvey Keitel and Jeff Goldblum, all in varying role lengths. The Movie Man likes such appearances. The big winner in the movie is Fiennes. He is superb and his character is fascinating. Also exceptional is newcomer Revolori. Anderson’s fi lmmaking tech-

nique is never dull; many single shots are mesmerizing. The prison breakout sequence is full of whimsy, violence, and wonder – classic Anderson. Best scene (spoiler) The fi nale pays off. It takes forever to get there, but it’s potent. In a train car – reprising an earlier scene – the militia again shows up to harass Gustave, Moustafa, and now Agatha. When a soldier dares to strike Moustafa, Gustave, hopelessly outnumbered, bolts out of his seat and attacks the military men – all the while the camera pulls slowly back from the only black-and-white scene in the movie.

It has a queerly reminiscent feel of Schlindler’s List (1994, MM #22, a ‘+’ in the ancient, non-number days, a 9 now), especially with Fiennes who starred in both. What doesn’t work This movie is all over the place, more proof that it’s “art.” That can drive lots of folks (including the Movie Man) crazy. Just because you can meander to amp the coolness factor, doesn’t mean you have to. TGBH is in no hurry. That and its seemingly self-indulgent grandiosity can make it frustrating. This is one of those “nothing happens” movies. Exiting people with the Movie Man – all older viewers – said the movie was “unfocused.” The sudden violence, language, and a startlingly explicit painting are jarring; that’s the idea, but it seems like someone trying very hard to be hip. Murray fans will be highly disappointed; he’s barely in the movie, maybe five minutes. The rating Usually, a character-driven movie settles into a PG-13 these days. Not so here. A man gets his fi ngers severed, there’s a bloody knife fi ght, nudity, a shockingly graphic painting referenced often, and scads of

THAZ Auxiliary celebrates 40 years of service by Natale GeNtry Members of the Texas Health Harris Methodist Azle (THAZ) Auxiliary celebrated its 40th anniversary April 8. The group gathered to recognize the volunteers among them who have dedicated innumerable hours to advancing the operation of the hospital in the community and to laud the rich history of the group itself. The auxiliary was founded on Feb. 27, 1974 as the Eagle Mountain Area Suburban Hospital Auxiliary (EMASH).

Theresa Albin, Patricia Byas, Janis Claiborn, Christy Creel, Billy Gay, Nancy Richardson, and John Nguyen. Earning certificates as well as pins for volunteering over 100 hours were Barb Daily and David Long .

said. “This ‘triad leadership’ blends the doctors, nurses, and administration into an integrated role.” Ellzey said while they have always worked together in many ways, there has always been a divide between the medical staff and the administration. “But as we look at treating the whole person and the community, it takes everyone at the table together,” Ellzey said.

Area takes sales tax hit in March

CITY

revenue shows the city is only down 0.21 percent for the fi rst quarter of 2014, with revenues of $676,118 compared with revenues of $677,608 for the first quarter of 2013. Similarly, Azle’s CCPD received March revenue of $28,401 for March, down 4.10 percent from March 2013 revenue of $29,617. The CCPD has collected $126,321 during the fi rst quarter of 2014, only 1.16 percent less than the $127,810 revenues recorded for the fi rst quarter of 2013. Azle’s Municipal Development District received $27,217 for March, and has collected $116,817 for the fi rst quarter of 2014. There’s no comparison to make, however, since the district only began collecting a sales tax in October 2013. Azle City Manager Craig Lemin said Tuesday that about half the decrease in Azle’s case is due to comptroller audit adjustment. As for the remaining 2 percent drop, Lemin said it’s possible that wintry weather during January, when the taxes were actually collected, kept people at home and thereby kept sales down. In Springtown, things look worse. The city’s March sales tax revenue of $58,621 is down

Lakeside is exception with gargantuan leap Texas Comptroller Susan Combs announced that state sales tax revenue in March was $2.09 billion, up 5.6 percent compared to March 2013. “The growth in sales tax revenues was led by business spending in the oil and natural gas mining, wholesale trade and construction sectors,” Combs said. “Collections from restaurants were also strong. This marks 48 consecutive months of growth in state sales tax collections.” Combs will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts their April local sales tax allocations totaling $554.5 million, up 6.2 percent compared to April 2013. The sales tax fi gures represent February sales reported by monthly tax filers. Locally, though, Azle – as well as its Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) – along with Springtown, Reno and Pelican Bay, all saw dips in sales tax revenue in March as compared with March 2013. For example, the city of Azle received $149,728 in March, a decrease of 4.19 percent from March 2013. That’s the most signifi cant decrease the city has seen in some time.
