She’s making a ‘bald’ statement Springtown woman shaving head in support of cancer awareness BY NATALIE GENTRY By this time next week, Springtown resident Heather Williams will be bald. She is participating in the Fifth Annual One Mission Kid’s Cancer BuzzOff this Sunday, May 4 at the AT&T Stadium in Arlington. This is the fi rst year the foundation will host an event in Texas and more than 180 “buzzees” have registered. One Mission is an organization founded by Ari and Ashley Haseotes, parents of a child who was diagnosed with a rare form of leukemia at 7 months old but today is cancer-free. One of the most devastating occurrences for cancer patients – besides the initial diagnosis – is the loss of their hair as a result of chemotherapy. The Buzz-off lets patients know of the legions of support felt by the buzzees.

Field turf going long (gone) Company replacing stadium surface BY MARK K. CAMPBELL They tried to save it – removing rubber pellets, exposing more fi bers, and even dousing it in “sunscreen” last summer. But the artifi cial turf covering the Porcupine Stadium gridiron is now officially dead.

It’s being replaced. Free, since it’s under warranty. Springtown ISD superintendent Mike Kelley said the process to fi x the field has been amicable. “The company – FieldTurf – replacing the turf at our stadium has been very good to us,” he said.

That’s despite FieldTurf being involved in a lawsuit with the manufacturer of the fi bers that make up the fake grass. Kelley said he was initially concerned that drawn-out litigation might PLEASE SEE COMPANY, PAGE 2A.

Couple leaves child in car outside Reno bar BY NATALIE GENTRY An Azle couple was arrested outside a bar in Reno on Friday, April 18 for leaving their 12-year-old son in the car while they were inside. According to Parker County Jail records, both Brandon Matthew Murphy, 35, and Tracy Jane Murphy, 33, of Azle, were arrested on charges of abandoning or endangering a child and public intoxication. While completing a security check of the 11200 block of FM 730 around 11:30 p.m., a Reno police offi cer found a boy sitting in the driver’s seat of a PT Cruiser parked outside the bar. Tracy Jane Murphy According to police, the

boy told the offi cer he had been left outside for about 30 minutes while his parents were inside. The arresting offi cer wrote in the complaint Brandon Matthew Murphy that when the boy’s parPhotos courtesy of the Parker County Jail ents emerged from the bar, they showed signs of intoxication including smelling of alcohol, staggering while walking, and slurring their speech. While Brandon Murphy told police a family member was supposed to give the family a ride, Tracy Murphy admitted that the couple had intended to drive themselves home. Both parents were arrested, and the boy was released to a family member. Brandon and Tracy Murphy both posted $5,500 bonds and were released from the Parker County Jail the following morning.

“I’m super excited to go bald to show my support for these kids, but I’m also a little nervous because I will be bald,” Williams said with a laugh. “But I know how thankful I would be if someone would do something like this to help me or my children.” In the four previous years the BuzzOff events have raised nearly $2 million to help provide hope, support, and care to over 2,000 pediatric cancer patients and their parents, explains the organizations website at www.buzzforkids.org. This year’s goal is to raise an additional $1.6 million. Williams decided to participate in the Buzz-Off this year in remembrance of her mother, who died of leukemia in 2010. “I’m so proud to do this to honor my mom and to help the kids and families who are fi ghting cancer now,” Williams said. “I’m also buzzing for Collin Christian, whom I’ve known since he was born 13 years ago, and prayed for since his diagnosis of leukemia in March of 2011.” The One Mission Kid’s Cancer Buzz-Off is an event where – just like many other charity fundraisers – buzzees raise money by asking family and friends to sponsor their participation in return for their promise to shave their heads. Proceeds from the Dallas BuzzOff will benefi t programs at the Pauline Allen Gill Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas to help ease the fi nancial and emotional burden of all those affected by pediatric cancer.

PCSO searches for missing teen girl Parker County Sheriff’s investigators are seeking the public’s assistance in locating a missing teenager. The young girl is identified as Abigail Samona Rubio, 15, of Weatherford. She is described as Caucasian, with long, wavy, strawberry blond hair, hazel eyes, 5-foot-5-inches tall, and weighing about 240 pounds. Abigail was last seen at Walmart in Hudson Oaks, Thursday, April 24, 2014. Investigators said Rubio was seen alone at 10 p.m. and left the premises on foot. Other information revealed Rubio took personal belongings from her residence prior to arriving at school – from which she walked away, missing her last three classes. At this time, investigators believe Rubio left her home and school without the intention of returning and is considered to be a runaway. When she did not arrive home that Thursday evening, her grandmother notified the Sheriff’s Office. Rubio was last seen wearing blue jeans

delay getting the football field turf changed out. But that has not been the case. “I am very pleased to report that FieldTurf is standing by their warranty despite the fact that they inherited the fiber problems,” Kelley said. That meant that workers descended on Porcupine Stadium early in the week and began ripping off the old turf – using a rolling machine to strip off chunks of it at a time. The new turf should be supe-

rior to the old, Kelley said. “I believe the replacement they are currently installing will give us several years of use beyond the original warranty,” he said. Kelley added that he expects FieldTurf and the SISD to have a “mutually beneficial” relationship for “a very long time.” FieldTurf holding up its end of the warranty was good news for Springtown. “I am confident that everyone on our end of this process is very happy about the outcome,” he said.

Peachy!

Principal sets high standard for SHS

Choosing the right fruit variety crucial for success by mark k. campbell Speaking to the Springtown Optimist Club April 29, master gardener Joe Sampson focused on peaches. After all, Parker County is the self-proclaimed peach capital of Texas. (The same claim made by a couple of Central Texas counties as well.) Sampson said local residents are lucky because we have the kind of soil “that can grow anything you want to grow.” When it comes to peaches, he said it’s vital to choose the correct variety. With 132 kinds of peaches, 10 are best suited for Parker County. And three of those are preferred by Sampson. The top 10 for Parker County: Harvester, Ranger, Redglobe, Redhaven, Loring, Denman, Redskin, Dixieland, Georgia,

and Monroe. Of that group, the trio Sampson said he likes are Harvester, Ranger, and Loring. The latter sprouts leaves that are especially aromatic, he said. A well-performing peach tree will produce around two bushels of fruit, Sampson said. He suggested buying small trees, 24 to 28 inches tall. As it grows, trim the tree so it makes an “umbrella” with two or three limbs within easy reach. “You want to be able to reach your peaches,” he noted. Peach trees should be pruned each December/January, Sampson added. Deer and squirrels like peaches so expect to lose a few to wildlife. Peach trees are hardy, fragrant, and don’t need too much water, Sampson said. They grow best in loose,

Bricks and Strait to raise Tabernacle funds By Natalie GeNtry George Strait and a bunch of bricks are being employed to help spruce up the Tabernacle on the Square. The group “I Hung Out and Cruised the Square” has ramped up its efforts to help raise funds in support of the Friends of the Tabernacle committee’s renovation efforts. The next phase includes major upgrades for everything inside the fence and the project will be fully funded by public donations. Renovations will include an all-new roof, a general facelift and freshening up of the appearance of the building, all new electrical -- inside and out, dedicated circuits for sound system connections, ceiling fans, new sidewalks, matching the new walk on the north side of the square. Not to mention: all new lawn and sprinkler system, some new trees and other landscaping, a fountain on the lawn, and park benches and other suitable park items to enhance the grounds. The group’s most recent fundraisers include a raffle and the chance to purchase an engraved brick paver to be placed in the sidewalks surrounding the Tabernacle. Raffle The raffle will present one grand prize: two club-level tickets to the “The Cowboy Rides Away” – George Strait’s farewell concert. An AT&T Stadium parking pass to the Saturday, June 7 event is included, too.

These tickets boast a $500 face value per seat, and according to David Ward (a member of both the Tabernacle committee and “I Hung Out”), have a current after-market price of $1,500-$2,000. In addition, four second place winners will have their choice of tickets to selected Texas Rangers home games at Globe Life Park in Arlington this season. These packages include four Lexus Club ducats – front row, section 234 – plus parking passes, valued at $268 per game. The drawing for the prizes will be Monday, June 2 at 7 p.m. at the Tabernacle. Winners do not have to be present to win. A $10 donation earns one chance to win in each of the five drawings. The Friends of the Tabernacle and members of “I Hung Out and Cruised the Square” said they would like to thank Charlie Thompson of CTI Energy Services for the donation of the prize packages. Pavers Also for sale are laser engraved brick pavers. Each paver is 4 inches by 8 inches, and costs $50; that fee is fully tax deductible. The pavers will be placed in the network of new sidewalks on the Tabernacle grounds. Ward said the pavers would be a great way to honor or memorialize a loved one, show your SHS Class pride, commemorate an event, or recognize someone special.

C andidate Q uestionnaire 2014 Reno City Council Place 1 Ken Parnell 1. After having lived here for eight years I have come to recognize the fact that it is time I give back something to a community which has given so much to me. If re-elected, I hope to continue to promote harmony within the council and also the city. In doing so, I believe that a deeper sense of unity will result and help us have a bright and safe future. Ken Parnell I believe I have the ability to study and to understand complex problems facing the city; moreover, I have the imagination and creativity to formulate solutions. I want to be able to oppose any unreasonable action which might lead the council to act unwisely and not in the best interest of the people. Being a part of keeping the taxes reasonable over a period of time would be a very satisfying goal to accomplish. I would like to be a part of formulating a comprehensive plan to see Reno into a happy and safe future. 2. First, we need to maintain and continue the status quo policies which have brought about our recent accomplishments. Second, we need to communicate these policies more effectively with the citizens. With internet and other media, communication is better, but should continue to be improved. Third, but perhaps most important, we need to accelerate the repairs and construction of streets and roads. “Political pavement” is not acceptable and the streets we work on must be done well. Fourth, we need to keep the taxes as low as possible. We can expect our expenses and income to rise with the increase of population, but the fact remains that there are many of our citizens who are too poor to pay taxes. Fifth, while we have had to focus on many problems which existed before the present council convened, we need to return our attention to the comprehensive plan for the city. The future will be here before we know it and we must have at hand the means to handle as many problems as we can anticipate. I have full confidence in the current council’s ability to do this.

resort to mere “political paving.” However, to me, the most pressing issue is that of getting back to and refining our comprehensive plan. We now have some relief from the inherited issues facing this council when we first took office. Hopefully, we will have more time for study and refinement to enable us to address larger, and farther reaching issues. Roads and streets – the study of traffic and infrastructure – will be a large part of this plan. We have a strong need to plan for appropriate zoning in the area. I would like to see the present liberties enjoyed by the agricultural areas to continue well into our future. I would like to see adequate water and sanitation available to all parts of the city. At the same time, I recognize the need to plan to keep the taxes at the lowest possible level. How we manage all this as a council and as a community will determine the quality of life and the safety of the whole area.

Carol Houlihan 1. I’m running because I’m very dedicated to what happens in Reno. What happens here in Reno affects every citizen personally, and I’m committed to helping Reno stay on the right track for the future.

2. The Council needs to have someone actively seeking new retail business to come into Reno. Without new Carol Houlihan business to help with sale tax revenue, Reno will have to depend on property tax to fund the city. Because of my efforts, Reno’s sales tax revenue increased over $1,000 per month. I checked with the Texas Comptroller’s office and went through all the business records and found many businesses were not paying Reno sales tax. When those over the damage to our roads, but I feel there will be a commistakes were found, the city’s sales tax increased. promise reached soon. 3.

I agree with Art on the Council. Johnson and Condie Prioleau about the tax money going in but not the right things being done for the citizens.

3. I am a graduate of North Side High School of Fort Worth. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Baylor University and a Master of Arts from TCU. I taught for 34 years on the Castleberry and Burleson school districts. I worked at Leonard’s Department Store for over nine years and at a court reporting college for seven, part-time. During my teaching career I coached debate and forensics. This experience required that I research and understand complex issues and understand both sides of an issue. I also have a knowledge of parliamentary procedure – something I taught each year in speech class. I have been a member of John Knox Presbyterian church for over 40 years and served there as an elder. After living in Fort Worth for over 50 years, and experiencing problems of over-regulation, urban crowding, traffic problems, and taxation, I believe that I have a fair understanding of what to avoid in Reno. I have been married to Sherry Parnell for 55 years. She is always available to give me wise counsel, encouragement, and Bonnie Black hope. She is, by far, my best asset. 1.

Reno City Council Place 3

Not to mention the reining in of the police. I was stopped by the sergeant for making a legal traffic maneuver. Thus at the time because of the stop I was falsely under arrest, although not cited and was nonetheless falsely detained and embarrassed by the action; I filed a complaint to the Chief. The next was the arrest made by the Reno officer for “Child Endangerment.” Reading the arrest circumstances the officer was totally wrong. There was no “Child Endangerment” – there was “Leaving a child in a vehicle” which is a Class C misdemeanor, ticketable with up to $500 fine, not arrestable. And public intoxication, which is also a misdemeanor Class C, ticketable, and jailed until sober. I want protection but, I want more professional protection – something that Reno Police can’t provide. I fear the police more than the criminals; I want a well-staffed and knowledgeable department watching over me and the rest of Reno. Of course you know what I mean – Parker County. When the police that serve the citizens are more dangerous than the criminals it is time to rethink the circumstances. Oh, and the Mayor and council that voted to allow gas wells, and once the earthquakes start, then want to rescue the citizens from something they themselves wanted. 3. I have 25 years in a successful small handyman business, and before that commercial and residential maintenance for 15 years. I have some college (TCJC), computer programming basics (Linux mainly, some Windows), dabbled in web design for myself. 4. Well, the people are great people. Parts of the City – not so much. We have a great volunteer fire department. All the citizens of Reno seem to be law abiding and not lawless seedy characters, as once described. 5. High taxes and angry citizens wanting less of a tax burden. Money left in the citizens’ pockets helps the citizens more than taking more and more from them. Reno has very little growth except where taxes are concerned and that seems to grow every year, regardless of slow population expansion.

C andidate Q uestionnaire 2014 Springtown City Council – Place 3 Tony D. Smith 1. Springtown has been my home for twenty-two years and seeing our community grow and reach its potential has been the driving force behind my years serving as a city council member and Mayor Pro Tem. Small businesses are thriving, the new park has enhanced the community, new roads have made traveling to work easier, and new bridges have cut down on Tony D. Smith school traffic. With the help of other city council members and proactive community members, we plan to keep progress on the right track. 2. Springtown is currently in a great place. With new revitalization efforts such as the park, Splash Pad, and Tabernacle resurface-project, Springtown is raising the bar and becoming a force to be reckoned with. Our community always has room for improvement; however, the current city council is working hard to fix issues before they become noticeable concerns. 3. Working with government on the local level has always been a part of my life. Being a master plumber, certified through the Railroad Commission, has allowed me to work with a vast number of issues that tend to surface working with city governments. As a city council member, I enjoy adding my voice of experience and common sense to the council. In addition, I also understand the protocol and procedures necessary to get things done in a quick and timely manner. This has served me well in the last twelve years that I have been in office, serving you, the community. 4. Since moving to Springtown, I’ve noticed there has always been a strong sense of community. This team-environment has contributed to our successful schools, small businesses, and community members. Working together, our city council keeps these things in mind when making decisions that impact the community. Because of this, we are able to foster and maintain the sense of home without ever compromising the growth of our beloved small town. 5. Two loop roads have been successfully paved and finished: Williams-Ward and Pojo Drive. The intention of building these was to not only relieve traffic, but to provide ideal locations for business opportunities. We are working on getting more retail prospects to build, providing the city with more sales tax revenue. A target area of Springtown has been the lack of commercial retail; however, we have seen a recent, growing interest in companies looking at Springtown to add locations.

Tom Clayton 1. First and most importantly, I am in this for the people, not for my personal gain or benefit. For me it’s about a belief in hard work and service to others. I am running for Place 3 because I want to serve and work in the field that I love, was educated and trained in for many years, and have been involve with and served at different levels in for twenty years. Tom Clayton I believe the citizens of Springtown deserve to have a choice in voting for the candidate they believe has their best interest and the city’s future at heart, and to choose a candidate who will be honest and forthright in their position and authority over others. Council members take an oath to use their position for good and for the benefit and future of the Springtown, and to represent the community and all those who call this city home as I have for fifteen years. Of that time, I have served six years as your city councilman and three years as a member of the Springtown Planning and Zoning Commission. Almost from the beginning I’ve had my hand up, striving to volunteer and serve and help out. I have a strong desire to work with the other council members, the city staff, all our city partners, and those who look to the city for help in whatever way is needed to get the job done. I’m trying to do my part in helping our community improve. I’m eager to listen to others’ ideas and share my own on how we can improve Springtown.

It’s not about me; it’s about using my abilities and ardent desire to help the City Council make the quality of life for every Springtown citizen better. That is the job of a city council member and one that I take very seriously. I also believe in never using my elected position to benefit myself directly or using the power granted a councilman by the voters as a hammer against anyone, citizen or not. 2. One repair that Springtown needs is the roads we all have to bounce over every day; I am tired of FM 51 being in disrepair. Also, I think the City could be a kinder, more responsive government that listens to its citizens and allows more citizen input while being more transparent on what’s going on at City Hall. Completing projects already in the works needs to be first on the list; redesigning and replacing the intersection of Highway 199 and FM 51 north to 5th Street including widening FM 51 and adding a center turn lane where necessary. Underground storm drains are needed on the west side of FM 51 from 5th South to Walnut Creek with a new bridge replacement for today’s traffic; the current bridge was built in 1939 for 1939 traffic. Also, a focus on creating an Economic Development Corporation for the City is needed. This will allow Springtown to recruit new commercial business and development that the citizens want and not require the city to just wait to see who shows up. We need to look at fixing our damaged reputation from anti-business and anti-developer to PRO-business and builder friendly. We need to change the current culture to be a more customer friendly city, staff, and council; making Springtown a tourist destination similar to Granbury, only in Springtown. We have a beautiful square and I am helping with the work on it because I want to be involved with the City and what we’re doing to make the quality of life better for everyone. Bringing family entertainment to our city for everyone should be a consideration; 20 miles at $3.79 a gallon for fuel is a lot to pay and long way to go to see a movie at a theater or buy a pair of jeans or shoes for the kids.

Secrets to getting the most out of your vehicle

’m not really a car guy. For me, a serpentine belt might actually be a real serpent for all I know. Yet, I manage to get fantastic mileage out of my vehicles. This never fails to mystify my friends who spend hours tightening thingies under the hood and fretting about changing their oil every 3,000 miles. On April 26, my trusty 2004 Chevy Silverado turned over to 300,000 miles. (That day, I posted on Facebook: “In 10 minutes, something is going to happen to me that has occurred only 1 time in my almost 58 years on this planet.” That, of course, was a straight line that many cyber comedians could not pass up, inviting jabs like: “Say something witty?” “Tithe?”) Anyway, the big event occurred almost exactly 10 years after we bought

the truck. So, I average around 30,000 miles annually. (On this vehicle – we go tens of thousands of miles in the other one, too.) The truck is the second vehicle I’ve owned to reach this 300,000 pinnacle. A 1996 Plymouth Voyager van went 340,000. Then I gave it away; it might still be going. So, perhaps you’re wondering, how does a non-car guy get such amazing distance from his vehicles? With such an astonishing resume, this seems like a good time to pass on my time-proven methods. 1. When you hear a noise, turn up the radio. This has worked for me a thousand times. AC/DC works best, but you can get a lot of mileage out of one of the

ON YOUR MARK Mark K. Campbell Allman Brothers endless jams. Celine Dion will not work; your weird engine noise is preferred. 2. Click past all those annoying dashboard messages like “change oil” and “you appear to be totally out of transmission fluid.” Vehicles apparently are filled with all sorts of fluids. And lots of folks are constantly changing them out. It’s been my experience that doing so will not only cost you a lot of money, but will quickly lead to having read all the

Cosmopolitan magazines in the waiting room. Some people still change their own fluids thereby saving about 85 cents. It’s more economical to just wait until you literally can’t wipe the thick oil off the dipstick – that’s about every 35,000 miles. 3. Fuel up only when necessary. The ding of the low fuel light is just a challenge, really. Some say you suck “gunk” into your “fuel pump” when you let your tank get super low. Personally, I try to go as long as possible on a tank of gas. More than once, I’ve put 24.6 gallons in my 24-gallon tank. You might not be the sort to live on the edge like me, but I’m not about to let a dinging light boss me around! You might as well have an aired-up spare, too, you spineless jellyfish!

Besides, the more often you stop, the more likely your vehicle won’t restart. That’s just common sense. 4. Say nice things to your vehicle. Some people lavish their praise on, say, their “fur babies” when they should be lauding their car. Good luck figuring out how to get home riding on the back of Fifi (unless she’s a Great Pyrenees – then, maybe). No, you should be saying sweet nothings to your Ford. It’s the one that’s going to return you home through the snowstorm or provide limited protection should a bear attack. Well, that’s it. Good luck on achieving 300,000 miles. See you on the “Highway to Hell.” Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and wrestled with ending this column with that AC/ DC song since he’s supposed to take part in the National Day of Prayer May 1. Oh, well...

Safe!

A Letter to the editor America needs prayers May 1 Thursday, May 1 is the National Day of Prayer. Across our county, state, and country, people are being called to prayer for our country. Over 200 years ago, our founding fathers organized our country on Biblical principles. Congress printed the first Bible in the United States. Bible was taught every day at church, school, and in the home. I understand that there have always been people who don't believe and people that

believe differently than I do, but our country was founded on Judeo-Christian values that work. Former President George W. Bush spoke at the opening of a youth center at Oak Cliff Bible Church several years ago. He said that the best welfare system is on the corners of streets all over our communities, run by social entrepreneurs with a rule book that has worked for thousands of years. Bush was right, America knows how to fix the problems. Today, we need to stay committed to the steps that provide the solution. The first step is to seek the Lord.

On that day, may we pray as one voice to the Lord asking for revival in our homes, communities, and our country. May we pray for the Lord’s protection and guidance. May we pray that our country's leaders are given a double dose of the Lord's wisdom. May the Lord keep our military and their families at home safe. May we come together for a common goal for the common good. Today and every day, may the Lord bless you and yours! Zan Prince Weatherford

Officials jump into TX-OU Red River boundary issue

hen a temperamental river with mud banks and sand bars defines the border between two states or two countries, there’s a natural potential for conflict between humans on both sides of it. And so, a 140-acre plot of land along the Red River border between Texas and Oklahoma became a growing news topic last week. That particular plot is within some 90,000 acres of land along a 116-mile stretch of the river that has some people worried about federal tinkering with border. While the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) stated it is not expanding federal holdings along the river and is not involved in litigation between two landowners vying for the 140 acres, a lineup of lawmakers floated statements on the issue. Gov. Rick Perry called what was going on a federal land grab. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said what the BLM is doing makes his blood boil. Attorney General Greg Abbott blasted what

he termed a “potential seizure of land that rightfully belongs to Texas landowners.” Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples urged the BLM “to immediately cease any attempt to seize private lands from Texas citizens.” U.S. Congressional District 13 Rep. Mac Thornberry, R-Amarillo, whose sprawling district includes those 116 miles, wrote to the BLM in January to head off the threat of potential losses to Texas landowners. In a reply to Thornberry dated March 17, a BLM official wrote “…there are no claims to Federal land south of the gradient bank of the river, and no claims to Federal land in the State of Texas as defined by multiple rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court.” The letter to Thornberry, signed by Steven G. Tryon of the BLM’s Tulsa field office, went on to state that the agency’s short-term goals involve installing signs in a certain previously surveyed area, cleaning up federal land that is already charted, checking the land to see that the signs remain in place and to work with an Oklahoma state agency to plan the cleanup of oil

field equipment “dated back to the 1910s and 1920s” on federal land in Oklahoma that is north of Burkburnett, Texas. Also on the subject of land and water, U.S. Drought MoniSTATE tor statistics released April CAPITAL 24 show HardeHIGHLIGHTS man, Wilbarger Wichita Ed Sterling and counties, and part of Clay County, all of which border the Red River along the 116 miles mentioned previously are in exceptional drought.

Straus said the committee will study the effects of recent changes made to the Texas Open Beaches Act, a law that grants the public a free and unrestricted right to access state-owned beaches and a right to use any public beach extending from the line of mean low tide to the line of vegetation bordering the Gulf of Mexico. House Bill 3459, signed into law last year, created a process allowing the land commissioner to suspend the designation of a new line of vegetation for three years. The committee also will examine the feasibility and desirability of maintaining a coastal barrier system in Texas and of authorizing coastal property owners to grant easements to governmental entities to build and maintain stabilized dunes, according to the Speaker's statement.

Brazos Indian reservation located in North Texas

n the summer of 1854 Gen. Randolph B. Marcy, under orders of the United States Department of War and Interior and in accordance with an act of the Texas legislature of February 6, located two Indian reservations in West Texas. The Brazos Reservation originally comprised four leagues, or 18,576 acres, twelve miles south of Fort Belknap, where the Brazos River makes three big bends. The size was doubled when an adjacent tract of equal size, intended for the western Indians, was added to it. The main building was three miles east of the site of Graham, where a few scattered stones mark the remains of the agency. Under the direction of Maj. Robert S. Neighbors, the general supervisor of all Indians in Texas, Capt. Shapley P. Ross was made the Brazos agent. J. J. Sturm was agriculturist, and Zachriah Ellis Coombes was educational instructor. About 2,000 Indians took up life on the Brazos Reservation; Caddo, Anadarko, Waco, and Tonkawa Indians had their own villages, and these shrinking groups were glad to have pro-

tection from the Comanches. Supplies for the Indians cost the government $80,000 annually. Contracts were made with ranchers for beef, and on an average thirty-four cattle were delivered each week. The federal government had control of the reservation and a ten-mile surrounding area, to prevent the sale of liquor to the Indians. Texas, however, reserved the right of jurisdiction over persons other than Indians for offenses committed upon the person or property of anyone in the state. About 600 acres was put in cultivation, mostly in corn, wheat, vegetables, and melons. The Indians were good farmers, and many white settlers recognized and respected the reservation dwellers, did not interfere with them, and were not molested by them. Rangers and military officers enlisted the Indians as scouts against the warring tribes. The braves were eager to take part and were so helpful that between fifty and 100 were on regular duty. However, this pleased neither the anti-Indian white men nor the hostile Indians. It also incited a spirit of envy among the friendly Penateka Comanches on the Upper

Reserve, w h o w e r e not permitted to fight against ot he r C o manche groups. T h e situation HISTORICAL g r e w w o r s e . HIGHLIGHTS Small d e p r e - Laurie Moseley dations took place and were always attributed to reservation Indians, so that a lone Indian off the reserve was not safe. A little newspaper published in Jacksboro called the White Man added fuel to the flame of hatred. By 1858 this antagonism verged on warfare. Feelings ran so high that Governor H. R. Runnels and Gen. Sam Houston appealed to the federal government to move the Indians out of the state. The government, therefore, ordered a survey of land in Indian Territory, but before a suitable location could be secured two incidents brought the issue to a climax. In December 1858

Choctaw Tom and his party of seventeen received permission for a week's hunt in Palo Pinto County. They camped on Ioni Creek a few miles above Golconda, the principal settlement and trading post. On the night of December 26 an attack was made on the party. Seven Indians were found dead in their blankets and four others were wounded. The commander at Fort Belknap ordered a company of troops to the Brazos reserve. Capt. J. B. Plummer, commander of the troops, fortified the agency building with skins and poles, and made a stockade to protect the women and children. Major Neighbors arrived for an investigation. On January 9, 1859, Governor Runnels issued a proclamation warning all Texans against engaging in hostilities against the Indians. He ordered Col. John Henry Brown to the frontier with 100 men. Major Neighbors learned that the attack on Choctaw Tom's party was made by white men from Erath County. Their names were secured, and an examining trial was set to take place in Waco, but no indictments were made. On May 23, 1859, several

hundred whites led by John R. Baylor appeared on the Brazos reserve. Baylor stated that he had come for certain Indians and that if the United States troops opened fire on his party, he would treat them as Indians. The agency prepared for battle. Captain Baylor retreated for consultation with his men; while so doing he killed an Indian woman working in her garden and an old man. Then the party hurried from the reserve, pursued by Indians. A few miles beyond stood the Marlin Ranch, which Baylor and his men reached by noon. The men asked Mrs. Marlin to prepare a meal, but before she could comply with their demands, Indians were sighted. The Baylor men took to the cabins on the ranch. United States troops from Fort Belknap had followed, but, having no jurisdiction over the Indians when they were off the reserve, did not intervene. The battle lasted all afternoon. Chief John Hatterbox was killed, two of Baylor's men lost their lives, and others were wounded. The Baylor men were buried on the ranch, and the next morning the wounded were taken to Fort

Belknap. Neighbors promptly ordered the removal of the Indians from both reservations to Indian Territory. As there was no land allotted there for Texas Indians, it was decided to place them with the Wichita Indians in the Washita valley. The Brazos reservation was abandoned on July 31, 1859, and two weeks of traveling brought the caravan of Indians to the valley of the Washita, where on September 1 they were delivered by Neighbors to the Wichita agency officials. Captain Ross resigned his position after seeing his charges safely located, and expressed regret in parting. Although the Texas Indians set up their villages among the peaceable Wichita Indians, their days of peace and life were short. In 1862 a group of pro-Union Indians from Kansas attacked the pro-Confederate Tonkawas and killed a number of them. The few Tonkawas who escaped wandered back into Texas. Others, generally pro-Union, fled to Kansas. Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown. He is the director of Springtown’s Legends Museum.

SHS duo qualifies for state track meet after regional in Lubbock Triple jumper and hurdler advancing to Austin By mArK K. CAmPBeLL Two Springtown athletes extended their track seasons. Lady Porcupine triple jumper Savannah Sutton and boys hurdler Dillon Springfield finished second in their events in Lubbock at the Region I-3A meet. Those silver efforts locked in state berths for the duo. Sutton leapt 35 feet, 9 inches to take second on the Texas Tech University campus. Springfield was the runnerup in the 110-meter hurdles in 14.59 seconds behind a Seminole hurdler’s 14.33. One Porcupine just missed out returning to state. Benji Brokenshire took third in pole vault. Previously, he had qualified for Austin in his sophomore and junior seasons. But, at 14-3, he finished third at regional; with the top two moving on, Brokenshire needSavannah Sutton will take her triple jumping skills to ed to get in as a wild card and did not. the state meet in Austin.

Two other Springtown athletes pointed at the Region I meet with sixth place finishes. Kendyl Dean’s triple jump of 35-2.25 placed her there and so did Kolyn Waldrop’s discus toss of 153-4. Springfield, who had been dominant in the 300 hurdles race all season, finished seventh at regionals in 42.21. Brooke Dauenhauer took eighth in long jump at 16-0.75. The girls 4x400 team of Kristine Camacho, Shelbi Meek, Brandy Branson and Kaitlyn Hill finished 10th in 4:14.48. Lady Porcupine Harley Williams ran the two longest possible races. She took 11th in the 1600 event in 6:03.62 and 15th in the 3200 in 13:39.07. The 4x100 squad – Sutton, Jocelyn Pando, Dean, and Meek – was 12th in 51.63.

Porcupines to battle Graham in postseason Springtown, third in 6-3A, is headed to the baseball playoffs under first-year coach Stan Gideon. The Porcupines are riding a 3-game winning streak. SHS faces the runner-up in District 5-3A, Graham. The Steers finished 6-2 in district, with both losses coming to undefeated Iowa Park. Hunter Hughes is the Steers’ big stick. He is hitting .372 with 22 RBI in 25 games. Graham averages 7.6 runs per game. Springtown’s per game average is 5.2 for 2014. Two of SHS’ final three wins came over squads that finished higher in the 6-3A standings: district champ Mineral Wells and Kennedale.

Iowa Park stops softball girls again Springtown falls 4-1 in bi-district In 2013, the Lady Porcupine softball team faced Iowa Park in bi-district. The same scenario resurfaced this season. In 2014, the squads met in Graham instead of Mineral Wells, but the outcome was the same as Springtown tumbled 4-1. On a windy Wednesday, April 23, SHS saw the Lady Hawk ace, Peyton Helton. And she proved tough to hit. Of the 21 Lady Porcupine outs, 18 came via strikeout. Every Springtown hitter whiffed at least once – except Josh White signs to play football for Hardin-Simmons Univesity in Abilene. With him for Kelsey Hinson. are parents Valarie and Jody White and Coach Brad Legan. She also collected half of

the Lady Porcupines’ four hits. Hinson singled twice. Mary Anne Sayles got SHS’ only RBI when she singled through the right side in the seventh inning, plating Kaitlyn Hill who had reached on an error. Jasmine Ricks’ early double was Springtown’s other safety. Iowa Park scored two runs in the first and third innings. Lady Porcupine hurler Kelsey Huff allowed just four hits. With SHS’ six errors behind her, none of the runs permitted were earned. For 2015, the biennial realignment shook up Springtown’s district a bit. Castle-

Movie Man

Thursday, May 1, 2014

Guessing summer’s top 10: More than meets the eye This is a rare week – that happens every year – where the Movie Man skips a fi lm, puts on his prognosticating hat, and tries to ascertain what the top 10 movies of the upcoming summer season will be. It’s never perfect. There’s always some movie that seems to come out of nowhere and is a big hit. Like Ted (2012, Movie Man No. 989, a 3). That fi lm went on to land in the rarifi ed air of last summer’s top 10. This time, the Movie Man is factoring in the Seth McFarland effect (formerly the Adam Sandler Effect). But first: Last year’s guesses 10. Pacific Rim (gulp! [6]) 9. The Lone Ranger (d’oh!) 8. After Earth (yikes!) 7. The Wolverine (oops! [6]) 6. Despicable Me 2 [8] 5. Fast & Furious 6 [6] 4. Man of Steel [7] 3. Monsters University [5] 2. Star Trek into Darkness [7] 1. Iron Man 3 [6] Actual: 10. The Great Gatsby [5] 9. We’re the Millers [5] 8. The Heat [7] 7. World War Z 6. Star Trek into Darkness 5. Fast & Furious 6 4. Monsters University 3. Man of Steel 2. Despicable Me 2 1. Iron Man 3 The bad advance hype around World War Z kept the Movie Man away. (He went to Monsters University.) Two comedies hitting was a surprise – especially We’re the Millers. This summer’s biggies 10. A Million Ways to Die in the West This is McFarland’s latest comedy, a Western with his usual cultural references and juvenile humor. Still, there’s no denying the Family Guy’s clout and appeal.

He stars in this one. Expect the usual – lots of gross out, sophomoric gags with an occasional home run. It arrives May 30. 9. Guardians of the Galaxy So far, Marvel’s successful streak remains unbroken. This is a very weird, offbeat choice to continue the company’s domination. But the fanboys will still support it – especially since the alien “heroes” are rumored to become part of Avengers 3. Plus, Guardians’ coming attraction is funny. It hits theaters Aug. 1. 8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles There’s a huge fan base for the Turtles, too. Megan Fox (remember her?) returns as April and this time around, the Turtles are all computer generated. Michael Bay (we’ll talk about him more in a minute) is producing so look for some gigantic set pieces. Expect a big opening on Aug. 8. 7. Maleficent This Disney movie sounded goofy, even with a great casting of Angelina Jolie. Then the Movie Man saw the trailer which is pretty impressive. He expects the fi lm to tread the line between scary and fun – something Disney has perfected through the years. Enough tweens and Mommies will show up to make this a hit. It arrives May 30 like A Million Ways to Die in the West – it’s unusual for the Movie Man to choose a pair of Top 10ers from the same date, but it’ll likely happen. 6. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes The Movie Man’s a little concerned about the time between this sequel and the original reboot (2011, MM #942, 7). But, again, the coming attraction is superior and the buzz remains. Of all the Movie Man’s Top 10 guesses, this one’s chanciest; it could open big then fade. But there’s little else around it (see Possible Breakthroughs)

For the love of Siri Young service dog leaves legacy of life, love by carla noah stutsman When Art Scarbro realized he needed a personal assistant, he, like millions of Apple product users worldwide, turned to Siri. But for Scarbro, 52, who has suffered from psoriatic arthritis since the age of 25, Siri literally took on life. She was a German shepherd. Although their time together was short – just seven months – Scarbro and Siri shared a relationship he likens to a love affair in some ways.

One of the males had been promised to a colleague. An 11-year-old Azle girl Hidalgo knew from her involvement as a junior member of SORT, Mette Rasmussen, was a regular visitor to the Hidalgo home. There she volunteered to feed, bathe, exercise and perform other tasks to help with Hidalgo’s litter of pups, including Razor, Missy, and Lucy. Mette came to know and love the individual pups as she helped care for them. On a beautiful spring day in March 2013, Hidalgo was exercising the pups at Azle’s Cen-

Then one night, I forgot to set the alarms, but Siri woke me up every three hours to take my medication.” Recognizing her aptitude for learning, Scarbro stepped up his efforts to teach and train her. “I taught her to always give others the right-of-way. When we came upon other people in Central Park, she would always stop and sit, giving them the right-of-way,” Scarbro said. “To test this, I took her off her leash a few times, and even What can I help you with?

Scarbro admired Hidalgo’s shepherd pups and expressed his great interest in finding a service dog to help with the challenges he faces daily because of his health issues. He was adamant that he wanted a male. But Hidalgo also wanted the only unclaimed male to train as an S&R dog. Hidalgo invited Scarbro to visit his home, get to know the pups and see if any of them seemed to be the right dog for Scarbro’s needs. A few days after that meeting, Scarbro began to realize he was drawn to the smallest of the litter, a female. He called her Siri.

others, she would stop and sit – and look back at me to make sure I saw her.” Scarbro was learning, too. For example, he learned about Azle’s Animal Control officer, who showed up one day to talk to him about a reported ordinance violation. Someone had reported that Siri had been off her leash, which is not allowed. But he promised to keep her on her leash from then on, and there was no more trouble with the law. In the meantime, Siri was making friends of her own. They included pretty much any and every one at Central Park as well as an entire playground full of students at Azle Elementary – the old Rock School. “We spent a lot of time at

Service dog leaves behind fond memories ■ SERVICE, FROM PAGE 1B

Central Park, but we’d leave and go to the store often, taking Locust Street past the Rock School playground,” Scarbro said. “Siri could barely contain her excitement when she saw those kids playing.” In addition to her friendly, gentle demeanor toward all she met, Scarbro said her main motivation was his security. Siri brought him his medications and water to take them with, and helped Scarbro stand up from a chair. “But her devotion and dedication to me was her mission,” Scarbro said. “When I found her I could hardly put one foot in front of the other. She allowed me to function as a human being and to actually walk.” Scarbro calls fi nding Siri his finest achievement in life. Losing her was his great loss. The Rasmussen connection Mette Rasmussen, who is now “12 going on 20,” doesn’t miss a detail. A few weeks back, Mette called her mother, Lisa Rasmussen, shortly after Lisa had dropped Mette and big brother Kristoffer off at Central Park to train one of Mette’s dogs. “Mom. Did you see that German shepherd at the park? I know that dog is Lucy!” Mette hadn’t seen the pup she trained at LeRoy Hidalgo’s kennel in more than seven months. Lisa encouraged her daugh-

ter to strike up a conversation him her and her husband were with the dog’s owner under the Mette’s parents. The Rasmussens discovered watchful eye of big brother. Mette did exactly that – she that evening a man with an inmet Art Scarbro and his service credible story and the service dog that he now called Siri. She dog who was helping him in was the same dog Mette had his everyday life and struggles with his illness. worked with as a pup. But Art – who calls Mette “the Prodigy” and describes Other connections Lisa Thomas and her friend her as “sunlight coming down the path toward me” – already Penny Weeks walk together at knew of her from the stories least four days each week at Central Park.

She saw his face of this,” she said. “Seeing him come to life when she told (Art) sitting in the park without her just breaks my heart.”

Lori Vining was another of Art and Siri’s “park buddies.” “I saw Art and Siri all the time at Central Park and you never saw one without the other. She brought so much joy to his life!” Vining said “Siri was so gentle and such a happy dog. She would always walk over to the side of the sidewalk and sit down so people walking or running could pass by. She loved everyone and loved the friendly words and pats everyone had for her. “One of the last times I saw her, she was playing ball with Art, playing fetch,” Vining said. “Apparently she loved it so much she would fetch the ball until she got sore – she never wanted to stop. She was so beautiful, the prettiest little German shepherd I ever saw.” A love without end, Amen Siri was just 13 months old when her earthly life ended that Thursday near the Lake Worth Starbucks, where she and Art had many friends. Her legacy, though, lives on through the many lives she touched and the relationships brought to life through her. Art laid Siri to rest on his family’s property, at the foot of the familiar yellow sign that proclaims “Jesus!” on FM 730 South leaving Azle. Those who knew Siri have struggled with her loss, none more than Art. “But even in her death, she brought people together,” Lisa Rasmussen said. “So many people wanted to help – so

Art and Siri many have shown up to help Art in his grief.” Kristoffer echoed his wife’s feelings, adding that Siri had brought Art from a near-hopeless state back into the land of the living. Hidalgo agreed, saying that when he fi rst met Art, he could barely walk as a result of his arthritis as well as a life story

that had left him questioning his life’s purpose. Siri changed all that. Amid the grief, there is hope. Art says he wants another service dog, although he’s not sure if he’ll ever have what he had with Siri. In the words of Lisa Rasmussen: “It doesn’t end here. This goes on and on. It’s Siri’s legacy.”
