Special Send-off for Special Athletes

Refinancing could save SISD serious cash BY NATALIE GENTRY The Springtown Independent School District (SISD) Board of Trustees was presented with a potential bond refunding opportunity at the April meeting. Joshua McLaughlin, of BOSC, Incorporated, presented the program. “Over the last few years the district has taken advantage of the low interest rate environment and has implemented two separate refunding programs to lower the interest rates on portions of the district’s outstanding debt,” McLaughlin said. “Over those years, those programs have saved the district and its taxpayers just over $3.8 million. “There is another opportunity to refinance a portion at a lower interest rate.” McLaughlin noted that the SISD PLEASE SEE SISD, PAGE 3A.

Based upon current market conditions McLaughlin estimated that the district could refinance this amount at a 3.32 percent interest rate and save taxpayers another $1,685,019. “These bonds would be refinanced over the same time period that they are currently outstanding – the refinancing would not extend that time,” McLaughlin said. The board approved an order authorizing the creation of sales parameters that the bonds must meet in order for the refinancing to take place including that the district must save at least $1.25 million, the new interest rate cannot exceed 3.5 percent, and that the final maturity date cannot extend beyond the cur-

Drug Shortage in the United States A drug shortage is a situation in which the supply of a drug or medication is too low to meet the demands of those who need them. In a recent study, it was shown that injectable, generic, and cancer medications are among those most vulnerable to shortages. Major reasons for these and other shortages include, production delays at the manufacturing company, delays in receiving raw materials, discontinuation of older drugs for newer, more profitable drugs, and natural disasters. When one company has a production issue or discontinues a drug, other companies may opt to increase their production of a drug to prevent a shortage. However, a time-consuming approval process of new production lines and new raw material sources are needed to help increase drug supplies. It is sometimes difficult for other companies to increase production quickly. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) recently reported that they prevented over 250 shortages in 2012 and over 150 shortages in 2013. The FDA’s ability to prevent shortages has been mainly due to increased early notifications from manufacturers. If a shortage cannot be prevented, the FDA routinely responds by working with other firms to expedite the approval of extra production lines and raw materials.

Engagement Local man top saddle maker Azle’s Troy West has received high kudos for his leather skills. He won Will Rogers Cowboy Award for Saddlemaker from the Academy of Western Artists. He received his award before a full house at the 19th Annual Academy of Western Artists Will Rogers Awards, held in the Grand Ballroom at the Sheraton Hotel in Irving in March. West, who lives and works in Azle, has been building custom saddles for more than 35 years. The craftsman says he loves to create unique, one-ofa-kind pieces, whether it be a saddle or a hand-crafted silver buckle. West says his main priority is to build saddles that fit the horse and are comfortable to the rider. He achieves this by hand-crafting each saddle tree from start to finish in his saddle shop in Azle. After a perfect fit in the tree, he strives for the highest standards of beauty through quality materials and workmanship. In addition to making his own saddle trees, Troy also creates all his own custom silver for each saddle as well as oneof-a-kind buckle sets. Troy West Saddles can be found online at www.troywestsaddles.com.

Breastraunts and chestraunts: God Bless America!

o, I won a $50 gift card to an eatery called Twin Peaks. I had no idea where a Twin Peaks was, but I’m not going to turn down $50 worth of food. Come to find out, Twin Peaks has nothing to do with the ground-breaking TV series of the early 1990’s. The clue that it was different came when it was referred to as a “breastraunt.” Twin Peaks is like a jacked up Hooters. They both serve dude-friendly food, drink, and, uh, in Twin Peaks’ case, offer “scenic views” – it’s not called Twin Peaks for nothing. The chain, which began in Dallas in 2005, calls itself a “sports lodge” and is packed with big screen TVs. They serve not only draft beer but food

made from scratch that is “endowed in generous portions.” There’s a reason Twin Peaks is referred to as a breastraunt. The waitresses are adorned in teeny outfits – halters and short-shorts with bare midriffs in between – and possess playful, “girl next door personalities.” You might be astonished to know that the Bride is not crazy about going to Twin Peaks. ME: It’s $50 worth of free food! BRIDE: It’s a breastraunt! ME: Free food! I’ll just eat, alternating my gaze between your beautiful brown eyes and “savory venison chili.” BRIDE: Uh-huh. In 2014, breastraunts were the biggest growing chains in the food industry.

And now here comes one for the ladies: Tallywackers, a Hooters/Twin Peaks aimed to entice female diners. (If you are a country person, you know what a ON YOUR t a l l y w a c k e r MARK is.) Called a Mark K. Campbell “guy candy eatery,” the restaurant will open a Dallas site soon – they’re shooting for Mothers’ Day. ME: Mom, where to you want to go for your Mother’s Day meal? HER: Is that Tallywackers open?

ME: Mom! BRIDE: Not so funny now, huh? The owner of Tallywackers said he plans on having men of all kinds of physiques as waiters because ladies like different kinds of male eye candy. (Guys are much easier to cater to as Hooters and Twin Peaks figured out quickly.) Tallywacker waiters won’t be shirtless because of health regulations, but they’ll be wearing tight red t-shirts and snazzy underpants at the “chestraunt.” At both places, expect heaving bosoms and fit young ‘uns bringing you your cheese sticks and sweet tea. Naturally, plenty of folks will see this sort of dining option as the continuing decline of the Western world. I don’t know if a preacher has ever said the word “tallywacker” from the pulpit, but I can imagine the titters

from the congregation if one should. I’m pretty sure a suggestion for a church small group to meet at Twin Peaks or Tallywackers would not be well received. Breastraunts and chestraunts also throw conservatives into a conundrum. While abhorring the concept, won’t the “free market sort everything out?” How ‘bout our America?! What a country! I have solved my problem. I’m headed to Twin Peaks with a giant $50 to-go order. I’ll wear my tight red shirt just like the Tallywackers dudes – the only difference is that all my shirts are tight these days. Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and has only been to a Hooter’s once – back when he was a firefighter, of course.

The smooth path is not always the best one

just returned from an amazing mission trip to Ukraine with the Singing Men of Texas. I don’t just toss that word “amazing” out lightly. We took a team of 170 people from across the state of Texas and did a concert/preaching tour across western Ukraine. Between April 22-30, we sang 12 concerts in eight cities to a combined audience of over 14,000 and saw over 7,700 registered decisions for Christ. Yeah, that kind of amazing. If you’ve read my column for any length of time, you know that I find inspiration everywhere. It doesn’t take much to get my “ponder-er” going. I’ll probably be sharing some reflec-

tions from this trip over the next several weeks – not in any kind of sequential series – just as I think of spiritual applications from some traveling observations. One of the things I noticed on this LIFE MATTERS trip is that some burdens Gerry Lewis are almost universal, at least in developed nations. One of the universal burdens is road

construction. One day we traveled three hours by bus to drive 80 miles to a concert. Did you catch that? Three hours to go 80 miles! I’m pretty sure this was the worst paved road I have ever seen. After the concert, we got back on the bus and made the return trip! Six hours on 160 miles of really bad road! Sounds like the beginnings of a Ukrainian Country Song by Blake Sheltonskov. In the city of Kiev, I found another section of road under construction. This one was a cobblestone street in front of the Cathedral of Saint Andrew. The cathedral was constructed from 1744-1767. I looked at the way the new cobblestones were laid out waiting for the

cement grouting process and thought, “Oh, my goodness! This little section is going to take forever. Wouldn’t it be better to just put down some asphalt pavement?” Then I found out the age of the street they were replacing. The previous cobblestones had only lasted 300 years! Can you imagine 300 year old asphalt? Holy potholes! Certainly it would be much more “efficient” to put down asphalt. It could probably be done in a day or two. But it’s hard to argue with the “effectiveness” of cobblestones. It might take longer. It might slow the driving speed a bit. But it also allows for a more deliberate and thoughtful pace, taking in the beauty of the trip, rather

than simply rushing to the destination. Efficiency that is not the servant of effectiveness is highly overrated. Sometimes God puts some speed bumps in the road to call us to greater focus and effectiveness. Our lives matter so much to God that the experience of the journey matters as much as the pace at which we move toward our destination. Corrie ten Boom said, “When God sends us on rocky paths, He gives us strong shoes.” Maybe that was His purpose in the first place.

A grandfather’s story, Part 4: The war comes close

oving to Kansas didn’t insulate the Jordans from the War. “We lived so far from the storm centers of actual warfare that only the echoes of the battlefields reached us, but we heard so much talk of it every day that we children felt ourselves a very living part of the great conflict. “The news of Quantrell's raid on Lawrence – less than 30 miles away – filled every heart with terror. Topeka was none too well protected, and for several weeks afterward all sorts of wild rumors were rife as to a possible attack on Topeka. “I think it was about this time that a stockade, or rude fort, was constructed at the intersection of Kansas Avenue and Sixth Street, practically in the center of town. It was a circular shaped fort, made of logs of small diameter, 12 or 15 feet in length, sharpened at one end and driven into the ground. At

string out for nearly a mile. The cracking of the long whips, and the lusty voices of the drivers, or Bull Whackers, as they were called, filled us boys’ minds with the deepest awe, and of course we emulated their example as best we

could in our play. “These ox trains were usually bound for the West. Their destinations were Santa Fe, Salt Lake City, Denver, and the United States forts and supply depots of the western country. Occasionally a wool train from New Mexico would pass. The Mexican drivers looked strange to us in their bright col-

ored serapes, their strange hats – and other garments. Their manner of making cigarettes, using the inner husk of corn for wrappers was a revelation to us. “Roving bands of Indians were very common, and were a never-ending source of worry to Mother, when she was left alone with the children. They were great beggars and often stopped at our house, asking for flour, sugar, meat, tobacco and any other articles that they saw or fancied. I do not recall any instance of violence or harm save the nervous excitement caused by their fierce looks, their painted faces, and the menacing gestures they made in their appeals for food, etc. “One of our good friends however was a Potawattomie Indian chief, who lived near ‘Burnetts Mound,’ a familiar landmark southwest of Topeka. His name was Abram Burnett. He was well educated, and a man of immense size, weighing something over 400 pounds, as I remember it.

intervals, openings were made through which muskets could be trained on the invaders. There were larger openings for a six-pound cannon, the only piece of artillery possessed by the defenders of the town. “The stockade was intended mainly as a place of refuge, in case of a raid or sudden invasion from Missouri, which was considered ‘the enemies' country.’ It was large enough to hold the entire population of the town, but I believe the people were never assembled there except for peaceful purposes. On the Fourth of July following, the top of the stockade was used as a convenient place from which to set off fireworks, and not long afterwards the logs were chopped off, and peace again reigned in Topeka. “One of the most picturesque and interesting sights in those days was a ‘Bull Train.’ The great wagons with their high slanting end gates and canvas covers, with from four to sixteen yoke of oxen to each wagon, would

I can well remember his appearance as he sat in our cabin and talked in an interesting manner to Father and Mother. He dressed in ordinary white men's clothes, and had a rather gentle voice – and well modulated – for an Indian. “His stomach was so obtrusive that he could not possibly see his own knees, as he sat in the chair. When he wished to alight from his wagon, he would take out the rear end gate and sit down in the bottom of the wagon. His great weight would cause the front end of the wagon bed to rise in the air, and ‘Big Injun’ would slide easily to the ground. “The first schoolhouse built in our district was made from logs purchased from Burnett. He was fond of red liquor and rarely went to town without getting pretty well ‘soused.’” Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

House, Senate produce disparate versions of tax relief

egislation approved by the House and Senate last week reveal widely differing views on how to bring about tax relief to Texans in fiscal years 2016 and 2017. Speaker Joe Straus lauded the preliminary approval of House Bill 31, legislation to reduce the state sales tax from 6.25 percent to 5.95 percent, resulting in a $2.66 billion revenue decrease, and House Bill 32, legislation cutting the franchise tax paid by many businesses by 25 percent and resulting in a statewide revenue decrease of $2.56 billion. Both bills were written by House Ways and Means Chair Dennis Bonnen, R-Angleton, along with several members credited as coauthors. The bills, in combination, are intended to provide a form of tax relief that would be insulated from the powers of local taxing entities and appraisal

districts. Straus said the House “looks forward to a productive conversation with the Senate about how best to deliver results on this issue and the many others that matter to our economy and to Texas families.” Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, on the other hand, praised the Senate’s preliminary approval of Senate Bill 1760 authored by Freshman Sen. Brandon Creighton, R-Conroe. “Sen. Creighton’s bill gives homeowners the ability to hold local government accountable for the demands they place on taxpayers,” Patrick said, and called the measure “another step in an overall plan to reduce property taxes for homeowners and businesses.” SB 1760 would, if adopted by the House in its present form: • Remove the requirement that taxpayers due a refund have to apply for it; • Increase the interest rate on refunds due to taxpayers to 9.5

cent of the governing body in amount even further, from $4.5 billion to $2.9 billion.

Four earn state berths

Ladies lose late in playoffs by mark k. campbell The final score belies how close the Lady Porcupines’ bidistrict softball clash against Kennedale was. The game ended 19-2. However Springtown led early and the game stood 3-2 going into the bottom of the fifth inning. After taking a 1-0 lead in the top of the first, SHS tied the game at 2 with another tally in the fourth. In the bottom of the fifth, however, errors hurt and Kennedale scored 6 runs. Then came a disastrous sixth that led to the run-rule. Ekko Hurst doubled for one of Springtown’s 4 hits; she also

Kaitlyn Hill went 1-for-1 with 2 walks and a pair of stolen bases. Pitcher Kayla White had a hit. Senior Martha Chavez joined Perez and Casanova in playing their last game for SHS.

by mark k. campbell A thrilling, photo-finish in the final race of the Region I meet capped an exciting outing for Springtown in Lubbock. At the Texas Tech University track, anchor leg Dillon Springfield reeled in Monahan’s Lucas Rodriguez. But right behind Springfield was Big Spring’s Leon Mathews. The Porcupine got nipped at the finish line, but Springfield’s super quarter-mile propelled the boys relay to Austin with a second place finish. Big Spring edged Springtown 3:22.86 to 3:22.90. With its top two finish, the Porcupine foursome of Ricardo Reynoso, Mykeal Cummings, Mateo Herrera, and Springfield will head to Austin May 16. Earlier in the day, Springfield also qualified in both hurdle races. He won the 110 in 14.36 seconds – which sends him to state with the fastest 4A regional time in Texas – and finished second in the 300 in 38.86. Coach Brad Legan said, “What an effort by the 4x4. All four legs ran well, and it was an exciting race. “We have been close a few times in the mile relay, and it felt really good to get those guys in there.” Legan also lauded hurdler Ryan Snow and thrower Dawson Meek. Snow finished fifth in the 110 hurdles and Meek took seventh in the shot put. The coach said, “Both of them made finals. If you looked

He added that the track program’s success is a credit to

the “mind set and direction of [first-year athletic director] Coach [Brian] Hulett. It is the direction our entire program is heading.” Springtown finished fifth out of 30 teams at regional. The girls 4x400 team barely missed Austin. Gabby Casanova, Kendyl Dean, Kaitlyn Hill, and Molly Gideon finished third in Lubbock in 4:08.1. Had the Lady Porcupines matched their qualifying time of 4:06.94, the quartet would be headed for state. Dean also picked up points in the triple jump and Brooklyn Dauenhauer in the long jump as the Lady Porcupines finished tied for 11th at Texas Tech.

Thursday, May 7, 2015 Springtown Epigraph

Avengers 2 not super-duper but still good fun As everyone on the planet expected, the Avengers sequel, Age of Ultron, dominated the world box office. In fact, that takeover began the week before when Ultron raked in millions overseas before its U.S. release. The question was: Would it be a record breaker? About the film Like Furious 7 (Movie Man No. 1134, a 5) enjoyed, no film is lined up for a while to stop the box office rampaging of Age of Ultron. The only release of any substance next week is Hot Pursuit (a ladies on the run comedy that looks been-there, done-that). On May 15, Mad Max: Fury Road arrives, but Ultron should still be raking it in (although both movies will do well that week). Things might get closer when Tomorrowland is released on May 22. (The trailer that showed before Ultron was excellent.) Still, Ultron could conceivably make it past San Andreas (May 29) and even Spy (June 5). For sure, the amazing Ultron will finally fall June 12 when Jurassic World hits screens. (It, too, has a fantastic new trailer.) The Movie Man’s pick as the No. 1 movie of the summer – along with every other human – Ultron will be well on its way past $1 billion by then, making it the 21st movie to achieve that high cotton. It will likely end up third all time, passing the first Avengers (2012, MM #581, 8) which is currently perched there with $1,518.6 billion. However, Ultron will really have to gear up to catch No. 2 – Titanic (1997, MM #212, 8) at $2,186.8 billion – and the No. 1 biggest moneymaker ever, Avatar – (2009, MM #856, 7) at $2,788.0 billion. The plot (spoilers) The Avengers attack a fortress and snatch the powerful Loki’s Staff. Back in their headquarters, Tony Stark (Robert Downey,

Jr.) convinces Bruce Banner (Mark Ruffalo) to help him build a super-intelligent robot army that can keep the peace. But one unique robot, Ultron (voiced by James Spader), quickly subdues Stark’s personal cyber-assistant, Jarvis (voiced by Paul Bettany), and figures out that the best way to save the world is to get rid of all the humans. The Avengers assemble, but, thanks to two evil human experiments – twins Quicksilver (Aaron Taylor-Johnson) and Scarlet Witch (Elizabeth Olsen) – the heroes are quickly defeated. They regroup and have to hurry because Ultron is almost through with a rig that will eradicate humanity. Getting help from Vision – who possesses Jarvis-like abilities times a thousand – a mighty battle takes place with the Avengers and some returning super-friends slugging it out. And one Avenger pays the ultimate price as the fight takes to the skies. What works Thankfully, Ultron keeps the same good humor that the original had. While DC loves their dark superheroes, these Marvel guys keep it light. There are lots of funny one-

liners and everybody gets to fire them off, often in the heat of battle. Especially witty is how Hawkeye (Jeremy Renner), in a discussion with a hesitant, nowfriendly Scarlet Witch during a battle, explains that, yes, he’s on the Avengers even though he only has a bow and arrow – pretty dinky compared to guys who can fly, sling mighty hammers, and turn big, green, and invincible. But Renner still fights. There’s much more Hawkeye this time, and that’s a good thing. Even a flirtation between Banner and Black Widow (Scarlett Johansson) is tolerable and cute. Downey remains perfect as

Iron Man and Chris Hemsworth’s Thor look right (even if he’s hard to understand at times.) The fight scenes are many and sometimes too chaotic, but director Josh Whedon knows to cut to the wisecracks when it gets too dizzying. Best scene Sitting around and celebrating after recovering Loki’s Staff, the macho men eye Thor’s hammer. They say that the Norse god being the only

one who can lift the hammer must be some kind of trick. Every male Avenger takes a shot at budging Mjolnir but none can. Later, however, there’s a giant payoff on that scene that provides the best laugh in the film.

The rating Ultron is a solid 7. There’s just the usual cartoony violence that becomes numbing after a while. Summing up This second Avengers is down a notch from the first one, but is still fun enough to seek out. Certainly the third (and fourth) one – Infinity War, Part I and II – will be just as highly anticipated as Ultron was when I arrives May 4, 2018 and II May 3, 2019.

What doesn’t work The assault during the beginning of the movie contains some surprisingly poor computer generation. The Movie Man thought it was setting up a joke that a crappy video game had been created to honor the new Next up heroes. But, no, it was just weak Hot Pursuit. CG. (Thankfully, it gets better.) A chance for some great 3-D is really wasted. A couple of scenes are nice, but, without question, upgrading in theaters is not necessary.

It's that time of year again – much to the dismay of many BY MARK K. CAMPBELL Everybody doesn't like something. But lots of people don't like snakes. And, with spring here, the reptiles are joining us in celebrating the season. I was jogging on a dirt trail the other day listening to, coincidentally, Lynryd Skynyrd's “Gimme Three Steps” when I glanced to my right. There, stock-still, was a snake about three feet long. While I'm not mortified of snakes, some pundits believe that a full 33 percent of humanity has an “intense fear” of snakes while some have ophidiophobia, a true fear of snakes. Degrees of snake phobia vary; there are people out there who will never read this article because of the accompanying pictures. On my run, I just moseyed

over to the left, and the bull snake slithered off elsewhere to resume his hunt for a fat barditch rat. Texas snakes We have plenty of snakes in the Lone Star State. There are 68 species and 113 subspecies of the reptiles in Texas, according to Texas Parks and Wildlife. Almost all snakes are harmless to humans and eat a lot of pests. But some are not. Snakes will eat everything from a rabbit to an earthworm, from eggs to other snakes. There are four types of poisonous snakes in our state: rattlesnakes, cottonmouths, copperheads, and coral. Three to watch for… You aren't likely to see a corPLEASE SEE ALMOST, PAGE 2B.

You could spend many a year hunting down all the different kinds of snakes in Texas. Look up to see a rough green snake (above), which prefers to hide out in trees and bushes to catch food and avoid predators. The Texas rat snake (right) is one of the serpents you are most likely to see in this part of the state. They are formidable climbers and are sometimes found on the sides of brick walls.

al snake. And when you think you do, it's probably a non-venomous milk snake. Both snakes are banded with black, red, and yellow. Almost all Texans can recite the rhyme to tell the difference between the coral and milk snake: Red and yellow, Kill a fellow. Red and black, Venom lack. Still, for many people, they don't take the time to orate – they kill or flee. The milk snake's red band touches black. We have a ton of copperheads around here. Great at camouflage, they don't strike at prey but bite, so you have to almost stumble upon one to get fanged. That means watching where you sit when taking a break while hiking or being really careful when you flip over logs or boards. The cottonmouth is almost always around water. These black snakes are thick-bodied and can grow six feet long. When they feel threatened, they open their white “cotton” mouths wide and show their fangs. While cottonmouths eat frogs, fish, and small animals mostly, they can be aggressive if defending their home or when surprised. Also, a fact that can fuel nightmares: Cottonmouths can bite underwater. Anglers and swimmers need to keep an eye out for them. In Texas, there are many nonvenomous water snakes. There are some tricks to tell the difference between them and cottonmouths: • Regular water snakes have slender/flat heads while water moccasins have a thick/blocky head • Water snakes have slender bodies; moccasins are thick and

heavy • A water moccasin's neck is narrower than its head while a non-venomous water snake's neck is not distinct • The tail of a water snake is long and thin; a moccasin's is shorter and fat • The pupils of a water snake are round while a moccasin's are vertical (be careful if you get close enough to tell the difference) …then there’s rattlesnakes Rattlers get special attention in Texas. There are ten different species of them; only Arizona has more. If surprised, all rattlers will strike and deliver venom. Most are active at night, eating rats, rabbits, and vermin. Like other cold-blooded snakes, they like to lie in the sun in a place where they can also escape to when threatened – rock and wood piles, for instance. Because humans are huge, rattlers will try to get away when possible. But if trapped or stepped on, they'll strike. Almost every rattler bite – 99 percent – occurs below the knee and the great majority is on the ankles. Rattler fangs are long but they break easily. They seldom penetrate boots or even canvas tennis shoes. But if you get bitten, you need to get to the hospital pronto. Three species are especially more aggressive: the prairie, the Eastern timber (or canebrake), and the Western diamondback. The latter is responsible for most of the more serious cases of snakebite venom poisonings. All three snakes deliver venom that breaks down tissue and destroys blood; but the diamondback's venom is 33 percent more potent than other rattlers. Diamondbacks are the most numerous venomous snake in the western two-thirds of Texas.

Commercial Truck Wrecks

It’s easy to blame the driver when a big rig is involved in a wreck, but the truth is usually much more complex. When trucking company management cuts corners in training, equipment and maintenance, the rest of us pay the price. We represent local families in the Eagle Ford region who have seen loved ones hurt by these dangerous vehicles. If you or someone you love has been killed or injured in an commercial truck wreck, call us today for professional insight.

Penrod said, “Simply put, look before you touch.” And, if you have a degree of ophidiophobia, keep in mind that if you go on a snake-killing mission, your fears might morph into musophobia – fear of mice and rats – when one of the rodents’ major eradicators is taken out of play.

Besides, you'll never get them all and if word gets out you're the snake-killer...
