Focus and the family SHS valedictorian and salutatorian look to the future

BY NATALIE GENTRY Springtown High School (SHS) valedictorian, Shay Chandler and salutatorian, Rebecca “Nikki” Jones both attribute their achievements to familial support and an inner drive to do well.

“My sister is on the wall of academic fame, so I’ve always felt the need to live up to her,” said Chandler, daughter of Steve and Kelly Chandler.

“And my parents have always supported me with my grades and encouraged me to read.”

Jones, the daughter of Kristin Lawyer and Mark Jones, echoes this statement.

“My family has always been supportive as well. They never pushed, just encouraged me to do my best,” she said. “I also believe my faith in God and my values contributed as well.

“I work hard in what I do, and I didn’t want to slack off,” Jones continued.

Both said their achievements are a result of a tireless work ethic and the fact that they are perfectionists.

Chandler also said that her love of reading undoubtedly helped.

“I read a lot and because of that school became easier,” she said. “I’ve always believed that education was important and I’ve always tried to do well so this [becoming valedictorian] just accom-

panied that drive.”

In addition to their academic endeavors, both seniors played tennis and were members of the National Honor Society.

Jones also works at Big Burger and volunteers at her church.

Next up for Jones is Texas Tech University where she will major in physics.

Chandler’s career plans may need a little fi ne tuning.

“I’m going to the University of New Orleans and I’m majoring in fi lm,” she said. “I want to write screenplays.”

However she also professed an interest in botany and a love of history that may lead her in other directions later.

No matter what the future has in store for these young ladies, they both know that they will push themselves to do well.

Both encourage students to fi nd their own inspiration, whether it’s a favorite author, like Chandler and J.R.R. Tolkien, a favorite teacher like Madame VanHooser, an unwavering faith in God, or the ever-present support of family.

“You have to fi nd a way to motivate yourself,” Chandler said. “Even if you have a lot of people pushing you, you’ll never do well until you de- The big bucket is up at the Springtown Park Splashpad.

quakes, led by Stump and Deshon, released its preliminary findings in a report prepared for the Subcommittee hearings.

The team noted its “main observations” in the report, including: • Initial locations show a complex fault system trending northeast-southwest. The depth cross-section shows that

seismicity occurs on two steeply dipping, conjugate faults.

Depth uncertainty is on the order of 1 kilometer (0.62 miles).

• Seismicity rates have been highly variable. Swarms of hundreds of events can occur in a day, but weeks with few to no earthquakes have also occurred.

• Small earthquakes continue to be detected on the network.

Earthquakes in December 2013 and January 2014 occurred north of Reno and Azle.

More recent activity has occurred near the city of Reno and continues in the original source zone.

According to the report, a network of 12 seismometers deployed in the Azle/Reno area has noted more than 300

earthquakes large enough to be recorded on multiple stations since December 2013 and thousands of very small events during periods of swarm activity.

The link between felt earthquakes and waste-water fluid injection points related to shale gas development in Texas and other states remains a major question, according to the report.

SEF doling out thousands in scholarships

I Hung Out and Cruised the Square

Springtown Education Foundation awarding $36K this year

By Mark k. caMPBell Springtown Education Foundation (SEF) President Tootie Hall told Optimist Club members May 13 that the 22-yearold organization is doing just fine.

In fact, it’s expanding.

For more than two decades, SEF has passed out scholarships to worthy Springtown students bound for college.

But monies will be directed to two different areas as well this year.

One vocational student will receive a scholarship now – an SEF first.

In another inaugural event, the top teacher – the Excellence in Education winner, this year it’s David Lamb – will be given $500 as will one teacher from three other campuses in the district.

Hall said an SEF committee reviews student-submitted essays about their most influential teacher.

For SHS college-bound students, over $36,000 in scholarships are ready for those chosen by another SEF committee, chose via the foundation’s application process.

Historically, Hall said, the SEF has awarded $250,000 to local students.

Including gift cards for teachers, through the years SISD instructors have received $45,000 from the SEF. “We have a well-rounded board,” Hall said.

Through the decades, that board has accepted endowments; interest from those contributions fund the current scholarship distributions.

“We appreciate the community support we get so much,” Hall said.

She noted the SEF also conducts two major fundraisers – and one of those in 2014 will be of a different sort.

The returning event is the annual golf tournament that has been renamed the Jerry Hall Memorial Golf Classic.

It’s set for Cross Timbers Golf Course in Azle and is named in honor of former SEF member and popular Springtown/Azle coach Jerry Hall, Tootie’s late husband.

The Thursday, June 12 tourney will again begin with a lunch followed by a shotgun start.

Sept. 19 – the football team has an open date – and what Hall said will be a “fun, different, wholesome” event will unfold.

She said the wrestling organizer held the same sort of event for West, Texas after the dramatic explosion and that it was a big success.

Texas HisStory Museum speaker to discuss the Christian history of the state

By Natalie geNtry Legends Museum will host teacher and author Jan Payne Pierce on Thursday, May 29.

Pierce will show and discuss a PowerPoint presentation that highlights the faith of those who fought for Texas Independence.

Throughout her life Pierce has made her way via a variety of occupations.

She’s been a high school teacher, a dancer, a choreographer, and a dance studio owner.

She then returned to college at age 44, attending Sam Houston State to get certification in history.

Pierce began a search to find if Texas had a spiritual heritage.

For the next 20 years, Pierce worked in Christian education

teaching fine arts, history, English, and Bible, all instructed from a Christian worldview.

It was in Christian school teachings where she was introduced to American Christian heritage through American History curriculum.

That knowledge inspired her to write four children’s readers: Pilgrim Primer I, Puritan Primer II, Patriot Primer III, and Pioneer Primer IV – soon to be re-released.

Pierce has “retired” from school teaching to pursue the trail of researching the Christian history of Texas and to write.

Her talk at the Springtown Legend Historical Society’s

The Fair’s Board of Directors passed out the funds to students in 55 cities throughout the state who have participated in the Fair’s Youth Livestock competitive events and who are enrolling in an agricultural-related or agricultural-benefiting natural science curriculum at a Texas state college or university.

In addition to the 66 new scholarship recipients, the Fair’s board renewed scholarships for 176 existing recipients who are currently attending a college or university within the state.

This scholarship program was established in 1992.

Sales tax revenue up Springtown enjoyed a nice jump in its sales tax revenue over a year ago.

With an $87,969 sales tax check, Springtown saw a 10.7 percent increase over what was collected in May 2013, $79,459. Still, that’s not enough to catch the city up for 2014 – year-to-date revenues are now at $353,812, 4.11 percent less than the $368,978 it collected through May 2013.

The sales tax figures represent monthly sales made in March as well as January, February and March sales by businesses that report tax quarterly.

Locally, almost every municipality and county showed increases compared with 2013 revenues.

However, the city of Azle, its Crime Control District and Parker County reported decreases.

Azle’s May revenue of $203,926 is down 3.18 percent from the $212,017 recorded in May 2013. Year-to-date revenue of $880,044 is down 1.07 percent from this time last year when revenues totaled $889.625.

Likewise, Azle’s Crime Control and Prevention District saw a 5.75 percent decrease with its May revenue of $35,497 from $37,663 re-

ceived in May 2013. Year-todate revenues of $161,818 are down 2.20 percent from $165,474 through May 2013.

The Azle Municipal De velopment District earned $37,835 in May, and its yearto-date revenues are $154,651.

There are no comparisons to draw since the District is in its first year to collect sales tax.

Azle City Manager Craig Lemin said with a second consecutive month of decreased sales tax revenue, he decided to dig into the numbers to see what is happening.

What he found is that current period collections are actually about on par with those in 2013; however, adjustments for prior period collections as well as audit collections in both April and May have brought the numbers down, making it appear there is a decrease when there really is not.

The city of Sanctuary, too, saw a decrease of 7.18 percent with $1,156 for May, compared with $1,245 in May 2013. For the year, the town’s revenues of $5,242 are 2.86 percent less than the same period in 2013, when it had collected $5,420.

Reno collected a $7,964 check for May; that’s an 8.17 percent increase compared with $7,361 for May 2013.

However, the city remains behind by 2.36 percent on the year with revenues of $31,784. Through May 2013, the city collected $32,555.

Parker County saw a drop of 6.43 percent for May with revenue of $572,911 compared with May 2013 revenue of $612,338. But the county remains up 5.48 percent yearto-date with $2,895,213. It collected $2,744,573 through May 2013.

On the Tarrant County side, Pelican Bay’s May revenue is $2,279, up 17.29 percent from May 2013 revenue of $1,943. Year-to-date revenues of $8,488 are up 9.38 percent from 2013 revenues through May of $7,760.

In Lakeside, a one-cent tax increase passed by voters last year is showing up and then some. The town’s May revenue of $16,193 is 111.02 percent more than its May 2013 of $7,674, while year-to-date revenues of $81,438 are up 149.75 percent from $32,608 through May of 2013. The additional tax revenue will offset property taxes for property owners within the city.

OPINION www.springtown-epigraph.net

Thursday, May 15, 2014

How hot was it? Oh, it was so hot that...

I

’m gonna have to eat that.

It was the first warm day of the year and I was off on a leisurely jog through a park near an upscale Fort Worth neighborhood.

The temperature was 85 degrees, but the “real feel” was 95. And it was freakishly dry – 12 percent humidity.

In Texas! It was sunny and still.

I took a long drink from the playground water fountain and padded down the path. It took all of five minutes for me to get “cotton mouth” – the super-drying event of your tongue gluing itself to your teeth and the roof of your mouth – as the low humidity combined with the sinus medications I’d been taking to rid me of any oral moisture.

Still, I jogged on, enjoying the park’s freshly-leafed greenery. It felt like Colorado at times – cool in the shade but almost hot in direct sun. The path wound along a shriveled creek, suffering from the drought.

About 15 minutes in, my thirst was more than nagging. I couldn’t unstick my lips without an effort and my sweat evaporated as quickly as it arrived. I stopped running and rested under a big tree.

It was a couple miles back to my water bottle in the car or to the water

fountain at the trail’s beginning.

I knew there was another playground up ahead. Turn around or press forward? When the Cars’ “Let’s Go” played in my headphones, I decided to head for the next playground and its fountain.

Parched, I got there. An English guy was playing basketball with his son. I didn’t see a water fountain! But the English fellow said it was behind that bush. And it was. And it was turned off.

Now I was 30 minutes from water – even the creek was dry here! I was hot and barely sweating anymore; that’s a bad sign, I knew from my years as an EMT. My mouth was gummy. I stood in the shade and pondered.

Should I run back the way I came or proceed on the other side of the creek? I knew there was no water on my original route. Maybe there was a fountain on the opposite bank path. I cooled off a few minutes under that glorious shade, but I wasn’t getting any closer to water standing around.

I padded off along the pitiful creek – it was West-Texas-in-August dry, dotted with barren, scorched white rocks and dead reeds. The sun shone more

ON YOUR MARK Mark K. Campbell on this side of the creek and I ran long stretches with it bearing down directly on me, searing my bare shoulders.

I stopped again. Oh, man. I’m hot and tired and so thirsty! I’ve run 22,000 thousand miles and still this happened! Idiot!

I thought of a guy at church who told me a story of him falling out during a marathon; he staggered off the course from embarrassment and fell to the ground, crippled by heat exhaustion that was ebbing into the deadly heat stroke. With full-body cramps, he literally dragged his body back onto the course where someone stopped and gave him some water and electrolyte drinks. My friend finally got up and continued on.

There was no one out here for me. I had to keep going. This side of the creek’s path was less traveled and dotted with crooked tree roots and rocks angled for tripping thirsty, shuffling old dudes.

Up ahead was a boy working in his parents’ yard. I guess I could ask him for a drink. Or his water hose. But it’d probably freak him out – a dazed, red-faced, elderly weirdo staggering toward him.

I jogged slowly past. I was now just a half mile from the car. But things were going downhill fast.

Maybe I should go back to that boy and…wait.

There…on the ground…by the footbridge. Someone has poured out their ice! Perched amid grass and leaves and bugs and who knew what else

were two small mounds of ice getting smaller as I watched.

It was like a mirage. Was I gonna eat that ice off the ground? Absolutely! A couple of bikers pedaled past, eyeing me warily as I was hunched over, shoving this frozen nectar into my face. I hardly cared what they thought.

It didn’t matter that I might be eating a fire ant or that some dog might’ve passed by or that the pourer could’ve been sick. This cold concoction was fantastic! Best. Ice. Ever.

Five minutes later, I was good to go.

I covered the final stretch and reached the car. I was still bone-dry, but, even with a van blocking me from opening my car door and a little boy determined to tell me about his soccer game, I finally got my water and sat on a bench in the shade for 20 minutes.

Was this magical ice a minor miracle, one of those little wonders that we sometimes discount or simply shrug off as good luck? Was it some icy manna from heaven? What if I had passed by five minutes earlier or later?

I just know that as I wolfed down that ice, “Whole Lotta Love” was playing in my ears – and I was loving that ice a whole lotta. Hallelujah!

Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor, and the boy won his soccer game 2-0.

So, here it is. “But the people remained silent and said nothing in reply, because the king had commanded, ‘Do not answer him.’” (Isaiah 36:21) There is a long back-story to this verse that is beyond the scope of this post. (It may, however result in a good sermon sometime). For our purposes today, let me just say that sometime

around 700 BC the Field Commander of the Assyrian army was publicly taunting the representatives of the king of Israel.

He basically told them their God LIFE MATTERS that could not save Gerry Lewis them from the might of the Assyrian army. Instead of getting into a shouting match, or a negotiation, they listened and said nothing (following orders given by their king).

A few days ago, I heard some good advice to leaders: “Sit down, shut up, and listen.” In our increasingly strident and argumentative culture, there seems to be a belief that arguments are won by volume and/or violence.

We feel that we must shout louder or hit harder. And if we don't hit harder physically, then we must hit harder with our words. After all we have to stand up for what we believe!

The responses that we often give may actually call some of our beliefs

into question. I am wondering today how some situations might be different if we were to pause and pray before we speak in these situations...If we were to ask God what we should say...If we were to ask God IF WE SHOULD SPEAK AT ALL. What if “just sayin’” were preceded by “just prayin’”?

Question: What are some strategies you might employ to be sure that your words are guided by God? I think that’s a pretty good question.

I heard another good quote this week: “Choose being Godly over being great.” There may not be a better example of that than the words we choose.

“For out of the overflow of the heart the mouth speaks…But I tell you that men will have to give account on the day of judgment for every careless word they have spoken.” (Matthew 12:34; 36) Our lives matter so much to God that He cares about what and how we speak.

I’m just sayin’.

Anthony Bledsoe – Part 1: A colonel gets political

B

ecause Col. Anthony Bledsoe was my greatgreat-great-great-greatgrandfather, I was doing a little research.

My daughter, Marie, used him to join the Daughters of the American Revolution.

“ColonelAnthony Bledsoe was born in that part of Orange County which is now embraced in Culpeper County, Virginia, in 1733. He received a liberal education for the time, and became a surveyor.

“In early 1ife he removed to the frontier, and settled in Augusta County, in that section which was afterwards embraced in Botetourt County, the new county being formed in 1770.

Col. Bledsoe had his home at Fincastle, the seat of justice of the new county, where he was a merchant, trader and surveyor.

“He was one of the justices of the peace for the new county and held that position for several years. In 1772 a

number of the citizens of Botetourt County petitioned the Legislature to divide the county, and out of the western half, form a new county to be called Fincastle, which was accordingly done.

“In May 1770, Anthony Bledsoe was appointed to take ‘the tithables from Stalnackers to the lowest inhabitants,’ on the South Fork of Holston. The settlers on the Holston, below Bledsoe's Fort, at that time, believed that they were in Virginia, but in 1771 Anthony Bledsoe made a survey, which showed that they were in the territory of North Carolina.

“As early as 1774 Anthony Bledsoe was a Captain in the colonial troops.

It is said of him, ‘He was one of those who rushed to the rescue of Watauga in 1776.’ In that year he served in theexpedition commanded by Colonel William Christain, against the Indians.

“In September of that year, that portion of the troops under Colonel William Russell began their march to the Great Island of the Holston, at which

time Bledsoe entered two wagons in the public service, to convey the baggage and provisions of the troops.

This was the first time that a wagon was taken as low HISTORICAL down as Long HIGHLIGHTS Island.

“The expeLaurie Moseley dition was out three months, and but a single white man was killed; his name was Duncan, who left a widow and five small children, to whom, the Legislature of Virginia, in June, 1777, ‘allowed the sum of £20 for their present relief, and the further sum of £5 per annum for a period of five years,’ with directions to Anthony Bledsoe and William Cocke to ‘layout

and expend the same for the support of Mrs.Duncan and her children.’

“Upon the return of the army to Long Island, Colonel Christain reorganized the same, and for the protection of the frontiers left 600 men at the island under command of Major Anthony Bledsoe, who continued in command until April 1777, when Colonel Christain returned and resumed the command.

“About this date the General Assembly of Virginia passed an act dividing the County of Fincastle and forming Washington County. At an election held in the spring of 1777 to elect members of the Legislature from Washington County, Arthur Campbell and William Edmiston were opposed by Anthony Bledsoe and William Cocke. The election was hotly contested, and resulted as follows: Bledsoe received 297 votes.

Cocke received 294 votes. Campbell and Edmiston received, respectively, 211 and 144 votes.

“The defeated candidates contested the election on the grounds that citi-

“At the next election, in the spring of 1778, Major Bledsoe and Arthur Campbell were elected members of the Legislature. On August 19, 1779, Anthony Bledsoe, Daniel Smith, Joseph Black and John Blackamore were appointed examiners of the bills of credit of the State of Virginia and other states, to guard against counterfeiting. While a member of the Legislature Major Bledsoe presented a bill for the extension of the line between Virginia and North Carolina, which was passed. In this year he was in the Battle of the Flats.”

Movie Man

Thursday, May 15, 2014

Bad Neighbors in every sense of the word Quickly it becomes apparent that this 2014 Neighbors has no relation to the 1981 version that was, sadly, John Belushi's fi nal movie.

They do share the fact that neither one of them is very good.

About the film Belushi, who died of a drug overdose in 1982, didn’t make many movies.

Two are beloved (Animal House [1978], The Blues Brothers [1980]), one’s a cult classic (Goin’ South [1978 with Jack Nicholson]), one’s highly underrated (1941 [1979, Steven Spielberg’s “worst” movie; it’s jampacked with madcappery – moreso than just about any movie ever made]), and one’s a better than average romantic comedy (Continental Divide [1981, “the only time Belushi got to really act”).

Then there’s ‘81’s Neighbors, which was highly anticipated when it arrived because it reunited Belushi with his Saturday Night Live buddy Dan Aykroyd.

However, their idea of switching roles – originally Belushi was to be the brash neighbor while Aykroyd was set for the more passive role – clearly misfi red.

Despite a massive holiday release with both actors at their peak, word got out fast that the movie was a turkey.

The main actors hated director John G. Avildsen (Rocky [Best Picture, 1976]), Neighbors was rewritten often, and word of mouth killed it quickly.

This new Neighbors also got a massive release and opened gigantically at $49 million. It also has bad leaving-the-auditorium buzz like its (totally differently-plotted) former namesake.

And it stars an actor who is hot right now, Seth Rogen. He’s had his share of dogs like Funny People (2009, Movie Man No. 836, a 4, the Adam Sandler

bomb) and Guilt Trip (2012).

His hipster popularity comes from highly overrated R-rated comedies: Knocked Up (2007, MM #721, 4), Superbad (2007, MM #732, 2), perhaps the most undeservedly beloved movie of the millennium so far, even with Rogen’s lesser role), Pineapple Express (2008, 785, 5), Observe and Report (2009, MM #820, 4) and This Is the End (2013, which the Movie Man wisely missed in theaters, but caught later [5]).

The Movie Man will acknowledge that, again in a small role, Rogen gets some cred for being in Donnie Darko (2001], for his voicing of Mantis in the Kung Fu Panda movies (I: 2008, MM #778, 6; II: 2011, MM #932, 6), 50/50 (2011, MM #950, 7), and his part in the Beastie Boys’ 2011 music video Fight for Your Right Revisited.

But there’s little to fi nd good about Neighbors, another Rrated “comedy” that’s anything but funny.

Vinson resigns as ESD1 Chief Watson new Acting Chief by carla noah stutsman ParkerCountyEmergency Services District 1 (ESD1) announced the May 8 resignation of Eric Vinson as Fire Chief of ESD1.

In a new release, ESD Board President Rena Peden said “We would like to thank Chief Vinson for his past service and wish him the very best.”

Peden went on to say the Board will work to devise a plan for moving forward.

Until that time, Assistant Chief

Stephen Watson has been asked to take on the role of Acting Chief for the ESD, Peden said.

Recently, ESD1 hired an Assistant Chief to handle training and reporting responsibilities.

The duties in that position will be adjusted as necessary to allow support for Acting Chief Watson, Peden explained.

“Over the last two years, ESD1 has grown dramatically with the successful annexation of the Peaster, Silver Creek, and Aledo Fire Departments,”

Peden said. “In those two years, the ESD has purchased four new fire engines and hired six new staff members.

“The public can be assured this Board is dedicated to making decisions that will position us to meet all operational challenges and respond to the rapid growth in the District,” Peden said.

Vinson, reached by phone Monday, May 12, said the firefighters, officers and departments within ESD1 are “in my opinion, the best in the county and in the area.

“They devote so much of their lives and time to making ESD1 a good organization, and I was privileged to be at the helm,” Vinson said. “I made the decision to resign based on

Eric Vinson, right, with another firefighter at the command post during a grass fire on meadowview trail in 2012.

a lot of facts, but especially for the District to continue to grow into the best it can be.”

He added, “ESD1 has three very good chiefs in Ellis, Bradford, and Watson. They’re all just awesome, awesome guys. You’ll continue to see great things out of ESD1 regardless of who’s at the helm. It’s about who they surround themselves with.”

Vinson said while it’s unfortunate he felt he had to resign, he wishes the District and those who make it what it is nothing but the best.

He’s looking into his options resigned Eric Vinson in for employment, but said he action at a structure fire in Former EsD1 Fire chief Eric Vinson presents an award armadillo hills in Decem- hopes he doesn’t have to relocate.

PCSO warns of another scam Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler is warning the public of another shady scam by con artists.

In mid-April, a 78-year-old Parker County woman told deputies she received a call from a man impersonating a police officer from the Dominican Republic.

The suspect conned the victim into sending $7,000 in cash as “bail money” for one of her family members who was allegedly incarcerated after being at-

fault in an auto accident which occurred out of the country.

The suspect allowed the victim to speak with another male suspect, impersonating the victim’s alleged family member.

The suspect convinced the victim to place $100 bills between pages of several magazines and package the money to a forwarding address in the Dominican Republic.

After she sent the money, other family members told the

victim she had fallen for a scam, and encouraged her to report the incident to the Sheriff’s Office.

Deputies contacted the mail delivery company to report the incident, attempt to have the delivery canceled, and have it returned to the victim.

The shipping company later reported the package had already been delivered and the suspects picked it up – and the cash.

“It is disheartening to know anyone would take advantage

of another person,” Sheriff Fowler said. “What is surprising is that a second suspect impersonated the victim’s family member. They knew her name, the family member’s name and personal information. We strongly suggest anyone who receives similar calls immediately verify the information and contact your local law enforcement agency to report the incident prior to sending any type of payment.”
