Former resident gets 35 years for sexual assault BY NATALIE GENTRY David Kenneth Nelson, Sr., 51, once from Springtown and now of Phoenix, pleaded guilty to the 2011 aggravated sexual assault of an 11-year-old girl in Parker County District Court on Tuesday, May 19. He was sentenced to 35 years in prison. According to a court report, Nelson was accused of sexually assaulting the victim numerous times beginning when she was 6 to when she turned 11 in Parker County and in the state of

Washington. “This was a challenging case to investigate due to the fact that nearly everyone involved had moved in the years since the crime occurred,” said Assistant District Attorney Jeff Swain, who prosecuted the case. “Our victim did not disclose what had happened to her for years after the abuse ended, which is very common for victims of child molestation offenses. “In this case, that meant that Texas Ranger Tony Bradford had to coordi- David Kenneth Nelson, Sr.

nate resources with the Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS) and police departments in Arizona and Washington,” Swain continued. “When we needed to communicate with our victim, it meant that we needed to call her in Okinawa at the naval base there. There were certainly more logistical considerations with this case than we usually need to address.” According to Swain, during the interview by Ranger Bradford Nelson told him, “not that I know of” and

“maybe I was drunk, I don’t know,” when asked if he ever molested the victim. “I would venture to guess that, when asked if they ever molested a child, nearly everyone out there could categorically state that they did not,” Swain said. Nelson will not be eligible for parole until he has served half of his sentence. The case was handled in the 43rd Judicial District Court, with Judge Craig Towson presiding.

TRWD lifts Stage 1 water restrictions But Walnut Creek SUD does not The Tarrant Regional Water District has notified its wholesale customers that Stage 1 watering restrictions terminated effective May 18. The City of Springtown has followed suit and announced May 19 that its Stage I watering restrictions have been lifted as well. According to a press release issued by TRWD, the drought restrictions were put in place in June 2013 when its reservoirs fell below 75 percent capacity, limiting outdoor watering to twice per week. After heavy rains earlier this spring, the water district’s reservoirs have climbed to more than 95 percent capacity. It is estimated the conservation measures reduced demands by 39 percent during a period of peak use, saving an estimated 112 million gallons per day.

Although drought conditions have subsided, TRWD encourages the public to continue practicing voluntary conservation measures in order to reduce peak demands in the summer and prolong the area’s water supplies. Those residents who are in the Walnut Creek Special Utility District (SUD) are still under restrictions. According to the website, no use of irrigation devises, outside sprinkler systems, and similar outside irrigation devices between the dates of April l – Nov. 1 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. will be allowed. However drip irrigation or hand held devices may be used. Walnut Creek SUD’s source is Lake Bridgeport which is still only 68.6 percent full as of May, 20.

Dedication and drive BY NATALIE GENTRY This year’s valedictorian, Dawson Hinkley, and salutatorian, Grace Scott, at Springtown High School agree that the support of their family combined with an inner drive to succeed helped them achieve their high school goals and focus on their future. “My parents have helped push me to follow my dreams,” Hinkley, son of David and LeAnn Hinkley, said. “My mom has had a large impact on my perseverance and has always believed in me. “My dad works at GE and is constantly working.” Scott, the daughter of Shane and Lisa Scott, echoed this sentiment. “My parents have been my rock throughout my life and have raised me to be the Christian person I am today,” she said. “My dad is the pastor at Walnut Creek Baptist Church

and teaches concealed handgun license classes on the side. My mom is the gifted and talented and dyslexia teacher at Goshen Creek Elementary and Springtown Intermediate School. “Both have been amazing role models.” Scott also noted the motivation she receives from another source. “I have a 10-year-old brother, Ethan, who is probably smarter than me,” she said “We always fight about who’s smarter.” Motivation, indeed. Now… Both seniors said their achievement is the result of a tireless work ethic. “My drive spawns from my determination to succeed,” Hinkley said. “I have always believed that if a person has dreams, they should be as big as possible. “I also think much of my

drive comes from athletics,” he continued. “I view academics as a competition just as competitive as athletics. “Freshman year I was, disappointingly, ranked third which really sparked my competitive instincts and I became totally focused on getting to one.” Scott also noted that learning to balance and dedicate time to both academics and her other interests have helped her succeed. “All through high school I have been heavily involved in band, both marching and contest seasons,” she said. “I made band and school equal in my efforts. “I worked hard in both to achieve what I have these last four years.” Her achievements include serving on the band leadership team for three years and attending state solo and ensemble, as well as making it to the state marching competition twice

SHS valedictorian and salutatorian look to the future

and the finals once. “That was my favorite part of being in high school,” Scott said. “There is no better feeling than walking into the Alamodome and stepping on the turf in front of hundreds of people to perform.” ...and then Next up for Hinkley is The University of Texas at Austin where he will major in biochemical engineering. “My college decision came down to Pepperdine University or UT at Austin,” he said. “I chose UT and then I plan to go to medical school. “My mom has Lupus which has inspired my passion for the medical field to grow,” He continued. “At medical school I will work to become an orthopedic surgeon. “I want to be this type of surgeon because football injuries have required that I have four surgeries done

by this type of doctor,” he said. “I want to help other athletes.” Scott’s path will take her in another direction, but both students’ journeys lead to the same goal – helping others. “I plan to attend the University of Mary Hardin-Baylor and major in social work,” Scott said. “After college, I plan to attend Southwestern Baptist Theological Seminary, getting my master’s degree in counseling. “I want to go into the mission field using these skills,” she continued. “I want to help people all over the world.” Both Hinkley and Scott are

looking forward to their futures, but they both acknowledge and cherish the roots they’ve put down in Springtown. “When I leave Springtown, I will never forget my friends, family, or those in the community that supported me,” Hinkley said. “Everybody can be great... because anybody can serve. You don't have to have a college degree to serve. You don't have to make your subject and verb agree to serve. You only need a heart full of grace. A soul generated by love.” – Martin Luther King, Jr.

The path to the ring: “We cannot always build the future for our youth, but we can build our youth for the future.” – Franklin D. Roosevelt BY NATALIE GENTRY Numerous Springtown Independent School District (SISD) FFA and 4-H members are gearing up for the Parker County Livestock Show June 8-13. The stock show has a rich history of giving students the opportunity to demonstrate their knowledge of the agriculture industry. “They are the future of agriculture, and the Parker County Livestock Show gives them a platform to display what they have learned and the hard work they have put into their projects,” Springtown High School (SHS) FFA sponsor Emily Grant said. “Agriculture is a rich tradition in Parker County, and the Parker County Livestock Show is a part of it.” Grant acknowledges other members of the community who are dedicated to the show and the students’ success. “There are people like Mary and Melton Harms who have been involved in the show for many years,” she continued. “They have been involved since their children were showing and now have seen all of their grandchildren go through the show ring as well as numerous Springtown FFA and 4-H members.” In preparation for the show, students perform daily tasks including walking their animals, feeding, weighing, and practicing their showmanship. While it may be easy to get a scoop of feed out of a bag, there are many levels of responsibility these students accept while pre-

it is hard work, in the end all the kids remember is they had fun doing it.” Mikayla Lewis of the Springtown 4-H noted that for many of the students the Parker County Livestock Show is the biggest show of the year. “Honestly, I feel like county show is bigger than any major one like Houston or San Antonio,” she said. “County is almost the best, because I get to spend it with family and friends. “Once show week gets here I get a feeling I only get when county show comes around, she continued. “County show isn’t just about showing – this is the one week out of the year that we all come together to SHS students show their lambs at the Springtown Jackpot Show. These shows allow students to practice showing celebrate our county history, as their animals in preparation for larger ones like the Parker County Livestock Show.

Dedication Ten-year-old Kember Bench has taken on the responsibility of multiple animals. “Starting at the end of winter we have to decide everything we want to show,” Bench said. “As for my pig, I have to help feed her, and walk her every day. “Then after Easter we get our market rabbits – they are just babies when we get them, and we have eight of them to take care of,” she continued. “Every day we have to feed them, and give them straw and water.” Bench said she also practices setting the animals up for showmanship and teaching them how to pose and sit still for the judges. “The week of the show is very busy,” Bench said. “It takes a lot of work to get all the animals ready and to show them. I’ve

learned a lot about animals and how to take care of them.” SHS senior Jimmie Gee agrees that preparing for the show requires dedication. She can be found in the barn with her animals before and after school. “Many would say I spend the majority of my day in the barn with my animals,” she said. “Being an exhibitor at the Parker County Livestock Show allows me to be an agricultural advocate and teach our community about the importance and significance of agriculture.” Education Sydney Gramm noted the importance of different types of feed and how they help prepare her lamb. “I feed [my lamb] twice a day, and take him on a 20-minute walk every day,” she said. “I am learning what feeds like hay

help keep his rumen functioning properly, and what other feeds help him gain weight. “I also practice my showmanship with him – like we are at a show – once a week so he and I are ready and know what to do when it is show time.” SHS junior Taylor Lunsford agrees. “County shows are so much more than just buckles, banners, and ribbons,” she said. “It is all about how you prepare, how hard you work, and always giving 150 percent no matter what you are doing. “Whether I’m walking, feeding, showing, or just washing and shearing, I always have to do my best because everything I do can affect the outcome of my project.” Lunsford said that the practice and hard work the students put forth is the real measure of win-

ners, not just the awards received in the show ring. “Participation in the Parker County Livestock Show is more than just showing an animal,” said Beverly Johnson, the Springtown 4-H Leader. “It teaches young people responsibility, gives them pride in a job well done, and can also teach them the hardships of life if an animal gets injured and can’t be shown.” Motivation Johnson noted that having a project also brings families and friends together as they care for their animal. “Working with their animal gives some of these students who have not been raised in an agricultural setting a new understanding and appreciation for the farmers and ranchers and their way of life,” she said. “Although

The glamorous life of a newspaperperson

s a newspaperman, I now have held two jobs that were deemed the worst to have in a recent career analysis. Journalist was the No. 1 sorriest job and firefighter was No. 9. (I’ve also been a photojournalist [No. 6], but that comes with being a small town newspaperperson.) According to careercast.com, there’s nothing worse than being a journalist. What do they know?! Just look at my last weekend and tell me this isn’t the dream of many a human: Saturday, May, 16, 9 a.m. – packed up car and headed to Austin for state track meet. Need oil. Stopped by to see grandchildren, bearing donuts. 10 – breakfast at Chick-Fil-A, eaten in the car. 11:15 – marvel at the debris caused by storm between Cleburne and Grandview. 12 – lined up a hotel off my new favorite app, Hotel Tonight; looks like a nice one! 1:30 p.m.– ate lunch at my No. 1 Mexican food place on earth, El Patio’s

in Austin, “family owned since 1954” and has the same chairs to prove it. 3 – check into hotel, which –yay! – is right next to a Pappadeaux’s. 3:10 – in hotel. This place smells weird. Clearly it is old, but the Bride is sure it’s more than that. Still, getting a last-minute hotel in Austin is like winning the lottery, so we decide we can handle it. Besides, it has HGTV, the Bride’s video crack. (“We only have a budget of $1.5 million and can’t find a house we like,” says every person on International Househunters.) 3:30 – change into exercise clothes and head toward Town Lake (now known as Lady Bird Lake) to run where we have exercised for almost four decades. But first... 4:45 – stopped by Darrell K. Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium to pick up media credentials. No problem. 5:15 – missed turn to get to lake running trails and have to double back but finally found a parking place. 5:30 – ready to run, making sure that the Bride and I meet back at the car, unlike last time when I missed her

clothes over sweaty running clothes. Who will know? It’s a track meet. 6:35 – see a woman from another paper that I know, apologize for how I smell. 6:50 – photograph Springtown’s first gold medal winner since 1987. But which hurdler is he? Hard to tell so I shoot madly. 7-10 – still at meet on hard metal bleachers. Split a $5 Chick-Fil-A sandwich. 10:10 – head back to hotel. Decide we’re too tired to go out to eat, so we snack on Cheez-Its and Vanilla Wafers in bed. Sorry Pappadeaux’s. 1 a.m. – Wake up. What is that smell in this room?! 4 a.m. – Mighty thunderstorm crashes into area. 8:30 a.m. – skip hotel breakfast and decide to head home in savage rain. Massive traffic jam in Temple but take back roads and still make grandson’s first Ranger game, sitting down in Arlington at 1:57 for a 2:05 start.

and we were separated for half an hour because I turned the wrong way on the path. 5:32 – ugh! This might be too soon to be running after a full order of beef enchiladas from El Patio. Take another hit off the puffer. 5:40 – missed the turn to go alongside the Congress Street Bridge and end up on the actual bridge. Accidently photobomb some engagement photos. The way down by the bats is closed so I have to jog all the way to a hotel to find the trail entrance again. 6:00 – stopped for the essential photo with Stevie Ray Vaughan statue. Surprised to see the Bride, who is only walking, coming up there too. (She didn’t miss any turns.) 6:15 – back at the car, sweating madly. The Bride is not happy that I’m getting in to the car in such a state. 6:20 – drive to the southside of the river to get a soft frozen yogurt cone from Sandy’s like we’ve done for almost 40 years. It’s fantastic. 6:30 – at the track facility. Amid curious looks (even for Austin) pull on work

Third, I would like to thank everybody who helped with the reception. We couldn’t have done without the

help of Kathy McAlister and Shelia Schramm. Scot McPhetrige and the jazz band had an outstanding performance and made the reception very enjoyable. Lastly, congratulations to those students who were inducted in NHS. They earned the honor they were given, and I am so proud of them.

Others who should receive special recognition: Saskia Hornback, 2014 NHS Exemplary Teacher of the Year; Nikki Sorrels, 2014 NHS Volunteer of the Year; and David Owen, 2014 NHS Alumnus of the Year.

A grandfather’s story, Part 6: Cows, corn, and hay

n Kansas: “Life was not all play. We had pretty stiff work cut out for us at times. When Father added the dairy business to his farming it may well be supposed that we all led a somewhat strenuous life. “Before I was ten years old I was assigned a regular job. I was of slight build, and I think I had a constitutional aversion to all sorts of manual labor. For these reasons, perhaps, I was duly commissioned cowpuncher in chief. I can well remember of Father’s hoisting me onto the back of a cow pony, handing me the cattle whip, and sending me out after stray cattle. The range was open, and the cattle went where they would. Our own cattle that were bred on the place would never go far astray, but Father would buy small bunches of cows, from time to time,

The Laurie Moseley with corn was cut with a long heavy knife, and shocked up in a slanting manner circular pile, the butts resting on the ground. We usually put about two hundred hills in a shock.

The shock would be tied near the top in order to keep it in a compact form. When the corn became dry it retained its green color, and made excellent feed for stock. “The corn was husked, at convenient times, later in the season, sometimes not until winter set in. I well remember the Saturdays, when I would have preferred hunting rabbits, sitting around a pile of fodder, husking corn. My oldest brother, Frank would beguile the weary hours by telling us younger ones the most wonderful ‘yarns.’ He had a vivid imagination, and was a faithful follower of Baron Munchausen. His younger brothers seemed willing to do most of the husking if he would only tell stories – an arrangement which was mutually agreeable for all concerned. “The haying season was an impor-

and these it was that made the trouble. It was hard work for a small boy, riding all day, hunting these cattle. It was lonesome, monotonous work, but it suited me much better than hoeing corn, digging potatoes or husking corn, so I continued – as long as we were in the cattle business – to act as cow boy. “Our main crop was corn. It was planted by hand in furrows laid out with a single shovel plow. We boys would follow with a pail of seed corn and drop four or five kernels in a hill – or rather in the place where the hill would be when the corn grew. Another boy would follow with a hoe and cover the corn with dirt. The rows, planted in this manner would naturally be crooked. Later on, Father bought a corn planter, operated by hand.

Father would take out his mowing machine, and find the best grass, in the most convenient place – regardless of who owned the land – and cut around as much as he wanted. We used a clumsy horse rake that was dragged along the ground by one horse. I usually rode the horse. When the rake was full, it was dumped by a sort of revolving process. I recall one incident in which the performance of this duty involved me in a peck of trouble, and shed a new light on the subject in a ‘pointed' way, so to speak.’ “I’ll tell you about it next week.” Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

Agreement on budget evades House, Senate

une 1 is the last day of the 84th Regular Session of the Texas Legislature. From now until then is all the time that remains for the House and Senate to decide if they’re going to agree on a 2016-2017 state budget. Both chambers could be ordered to meet around the clock until an agreed-upon budget is passed, if House Speaker Joe Straus and/or Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick deem it necessary or worthwhile. Any proposed agreement would originate in a House Bill 1 conference committee composed of five House members and five Senate members. House members are: Appropriations Committee Chair John Otto, R-Dayton and Vice Chair Sylvester Turner, D-Houston; Trent Ashby, R-Lufkin; Sarah Davis, RHouston; and Larry Gonzales, R-Round Rock. Senate mem-

has not achieved its required, primary task — final passage of a state budget — one House STATE bill and 28 SenCAPITAL bills, HIGHLIGHTS ate as of May 15, Ed Sterling had managed to survive the bicameral squeeze chute and earn the governor’s signature. That lone House bill was HB 181 by primary author Rep. Cecil Bell, R-Magnolia, and joint author Rep. Matt Krause, R-Fort Worth. The bill, which took effect May 13, intends to Governor signs 29 bills Even though the Legislature reduce printing costs and the bers are: Finance Committee Chair Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound; Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa, D-McAllen; Joan Huffman, RHouston; Lois Kolkhorst, RBrenham; and Charles Schwertner, R-Georgetown. As reported repeatedly since March, the main obstacle toward agreement on a budget is the two bodies’ disagreement over how to cut state taxes. The Senate voted to cut ad valorem taxes while the House voted to cut the state sales tax from 6.25 percent to 5.95 percent. Both bodies want to cut the business franchise tax, which would please Gov. Greg Abbott, who made that task one of several stated priorities for the Legislature to accomplish. If the Legislature is unable to adopt budget in the regular session, the governor may call a special session.

cost of correcting errors on individualized high school diplomas. Here are three of this session’s 28 successful Senate bills, beginning with SB 125 by Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, and sponsored in the House by Rep. Dan Huberty, R-Houston. The legislation, effective Sept. 1, amends the Family Code to require the Department of Family and Protective Services to conduct a developmentally appropriate assessment 45 days after a child enters conservatorship. The assessment must include a screening for trauma and interviews with individuals who have knowledge of the child’s needs. SB 293 by Senate Finance Chair Nelson and sponsored in the House by Rep. Jason Isaac, R-Dripping Springs. The legislation, which took effect April 8, amends state statutes to expand the definition of “site

selection organization” for purposes of selecting a site in Texas for certain events that are eligible to receive funding from the major events trust fund, to include ESPN or an affiliate, NASCAR and the Ultimate Fighting Championship. SB 835 by Sen. Van Taylor, R-Plano, addresses those who make fraudulent claims of military service. The legislation, effective Sept. 1, amends the Penal Code to increase the penalty for the offense of fraudulent or fictitious military record from a Class C misdemeanor to a Class B misdemeanor. A Class B misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of not more than $2,000, confinement in jail for a term not to exceed 180 days, or both.

ucation Committee Chair Jimmie Don Aycock, R-Killeen, pulled down his school finance reform bill when it became clear that opposition to it would drag on long enough to prevent consideration of a mountain of other bills. “Like many of you — I have other bills on this calendar — bills that are important. We could kill all day with this bill, easily,” Aycock said. In its 24 pages, HB 1759 addresses a range of issues, with language amending laws governing equalization of wealth level of school districts, taxation and funding formulas, transportation allotments, academic acceptability standards and consequences, and more.

inventions that never made it past someone’s bright idea. Yet, there are also inventions that have changed the world when someone figured out a solution to a real unmet need. And when that solution is motivated by love (as in the tractor ride), its power increases. As I consider the nature of truth, I am reminded once again that truth is true no matter who says it. It could be spoken by a politician with whom I disagree about almost everything and for whom I have almost no respect. The mouthpiece does not minimize the truth. The converse is true as well. If my very best friend in the whole world speaks untruth, my personal feelings for my friend do not make the words true. Truth originates in the One who said, “I am the truth.” (John 14:6) Our lives matter so much to Him that He wants us to be truth seekers, motivated by love to see opportunities around us. Even if it requires an old piece of rope. Azle resident Dr. Gerry Lewis is director of missions for the Harvest Baptist Association, which is headquartered in Decatur.

Running in lane one, Springtown’s Dillon Springfield (right) lunges at the finish line of the 300-meter race. He almost nipped winner John Ives of Andrews (left).

The Porcupine 4x400 Team Competes at State

Springfield first Spingtown track champion ever Hurdler only third gold medal winner in SHS history

The Porcupine 4x400-meter relay team finished seventh at the state meet, running the final race of the evening in 4A. The quartet: (clockwise from above) Ricardo Reynoso takes off on the lead leg; Mykeal Cummings strides through a curve as the second runner before handing off to Mateo Herrera. Dillon Springfield finished off the race as the anchor leg at the UT-Austin track. Coach Brad Legan lauded the foursome: “I’m very proud of the mile relay and the season that they had. It was a great year overall.” Photos by Mark K. Campbell

by mark k. campbell The long drought is over. After 28 years, a Springtown athlete has finally won another gold medal at a state sports event. That honor went to SHS senior Dillon Springfield. He traveled to Austin with the best regional time in 4A in the 110-meter hurdles. And he left the Mike A. Myers oval with that fact unmarred. The veteran Springfield – who competed in Austin as a junior in the same event last year – sped down the straightaway in the early evening of May 16. He was clearly the winner with an official time of 14.02 seconds, a full tenth ahead of the runner-up from Navasota. Springfield said he concentrated on focusing on the race: “My mind-set the past two weeks was keeping my focus and not worrying about the outcome but just running my race.” He said having been to Austin in 2014 then again earlier this year at the March Texas Relays helped. “Definitely. The nerves were there, but they weren’t scaring me as bad.” He added, “I just put my head

down and ran.” Before too long, he was back on the track for the 300 race – on the oval he broke the SHS record at during the Texas Relays in the spring. In the state 300, Springfield had lane one where he could see every other runner. He made the curve in contention and zoomed down the straightaway. It was apparent the race was a two-man battle – with Andrews’ John Ives who came in with the fastest time. Springfield, who “ran a clean race,” he said, leaned at the finish line, but Ives was a step quicker. Still, the Porcupine had his second medal of the evening, a silver. He said he didn’t do anything different because the distance is a “gut race.” That left the 4x400 relay where Springfield, famed for making up time late, ran the anchor leg after Ricardo Reynoso, Mykeal Cummings, and Mateo Herrera led off. However, SHS was never in contention – Herrera got bumped – and finished ninth; but that was bumped to seventh after a pair of disqualifications.

SHS’ medal Summer camp season ready to pursuit history kick off in early June with 2 sports Volleyball, soccer joined by POJO Maker It’s almost time for the annual summer sports camps which begin in less than two weeks. Beginning June 1 with volleyball, several other camps run all the way into August. The volleyball camp is set for June 1-4 for youth entering grades 4-9. It costs $50 and will be conducted at the Springtown High School gym. Also beginning June 1 is the arrival of the annual Speed and Strength Camp known as the POJO Maker. That fee is $100 and it runs six weeks, through July 16.

Held at the SHS Multi-Purpose Center (MPC), the POJO Maker is split into two sessions – one for boys entering grades 9-12 and another for boys 7-8 and girls 7-12. The registration deadline is May 31. Other camps: • Soccer – June 2-5, three sessions for grades 1-3; 4-6; and 7-9 at Porcupine Stadium. $30/$40/$50. • Baseball – June 8-11, grades 3-9 at the MPC. $50 • Girls’ basketball – June 8-11 for grades K-9 at the SHS gym. $50

• Softball – June 15-18, two sessions for grades 3-5 and 6-9 at the SHS softball field. $40/$50 • Boys’ basketball – June 1518, grades K-8 at the SHS gym. $50 • Football – July 27-30, grades 7-9 at the MPC. $50 A pair of “elite” camps is also slated. For the special soccer camp, the dates are June 2-5 with a $60 fee. Boys take the pitch from 9-11 a.m. and girls from 11:15-1:15 p.m. The camps for grades 9-12 will be held at the

stadium. The Elite Volleyball Camp arrives July 30-Aug. 1 for grades 9-12 and costs $125. It’s set for the SHS gym. All camp information is available at springtownisd.net under “Athletics” and “General Information.” Excluding elite camps, each child after the first one that registers for the same camp from the same family can participate at half price. More info can be found at 817-220-3040, the athletic director’s office.

After Springtown’s tennis dynasty ended in the 1980’s – the Ryan sisters, Angie and Amy, won 3A state singles in 1983 for the former and ‘85-’87 for the latter – no other SHS athlete won an individual sports gold medal at state. Until Dillon Springfield earned the 110-meter hurdles top medal May 16 in Austin. The gold drought from 1987 to 2015 came close to being broken a few times. In 1990 and ‘91, cross country runner Valerie Clary almost did it twice. At Georgetown’s Southwestern University, she took second by five seconds in ‘90. The next year, she kicked to the finish line and ended up in a dead heat with another runner. Officials finally decided Clary was second; Coach Terry Bradshaw said “you couldn’t have put a butter knife” between the duo. Lady Porcupine Robin Renno won SHS’ first-ever track state medals with two third place finishes in 1996-97 in the 1600. In 1993, state championship chances looked great for hurdler Brandon Meiner. He went to Austin with the best 110 time in the state in 3A. But, he didn’t finish and got an “NT” – no time – saying his hurdles slipped. Officials disagreed – as fans booed – and the gold medal drought continued.

Movie Man

Thursday, May 21, 2015 Springtown Epigraph

Fourth Mad Max movie runs out of gas late You don’t see movies like this much anymore. Aside from daring non-CGI action sequences – a lot of them – there are some shocking, startling, and downright squeamishly freakish scenes and visions in Mad Max: Fury Road – the sort of sequences you seldom see in a major release these days. About the movie Director George Miller birthed the original Max who was played by Mel Gibson in 1979. (The Movie Man remembers chuckling when seeing a TV trailer for Mad Max where the narrator seriously intoned “starring Mel Gibson.” In America, Gibson was a complete unknown yet here he was being boldly lauded. [He wasn’t too famous in Australia, either. All that would change soon, however.]) Miller, who doesn’t direct often, pulled off the feat of making a sequel better than its original with The Road Warrior in 1981. That was followed by the lesser – according to many – Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome which isn’t as appreciated for its’80 kitsch yet. (And too many forget that groovy Tina Turner theme song “We Don’t Need Another Hero” which made it all the way to No. 2 on the Top 40 in 1985. And folks also forget that a second single spun off that soundtrack – movies had lots of popular music crossovers in those days – “One of the Living” another Turner hit that rose to No. 15.) While it appeared the Max well had run dry, Miller always wanted to make another one. It got mired for years for a number of reasons – including location woes caused by a years-long drought – and Miller moved on to other things. Anyway, after three Maxes, this fourth one is a full-tilt, noholds-barred freak show; everything loved from the originals – mainly the first two – is amped up through the roof.

The plot The world is almost destroyed and people are diseased and miserable. Because he has access to water, Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) rules over his kingdom. His roving motorized hordes discover a “universal donor” in Max (Tom Hardy) – blood’s a highly valuable commodity. Max is imprisoned, his blood helping cure diseases, including the one affecting Nux (Nicholas Hoult) who worships Joe. The ruler sends Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) and a crew to fetch gas. But she has secretly stashed five of Joe’s enslaved brides – pregnant women provide nutritious milk to the royalty – in her wild big-rig. Then she goes rogue, veering off course to head to her “green” childhood home, where she lived before being captured and stolen away to Joe’s kingdom. That means heading out through territory owned by rival gangs. And she stumbles across an angry Max, his face mostly encased in a steel mask. They become uneasy allies. The duo fights off deadly attackers as well as Joe’s minions and the seemingly invincible Nux who is sure his wild-eyed devotion will earn him a place in Joe’s proclaimed after-life

Surviving impossible situations, the Furiosa’s gang – well, most of them – reach the “green” of her youth. Only the verdant, woman-run society is not exactly like she remembered it.

(See Best scene) It’s Miller’s personal vision and version and it’s fulfilled. Kudos to Theron, too.

Flight of heroes

Local program helps WWII vets journey to D.C. memorials

BY MISTY SHAW As Memorial Day approaches, we pause to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in military service to our country. Many surviving veterans will mark the occasion by visiting a local memorial or traveling to the national monuments in Washington, D.C. But for some of our most venerable veterans, who served during World War II, such a trip may not seem feasible. Thank goodness for Honor Flight DFW, a volunteer organization dedicated to helping local WWII veterans travel to Washington, D.C. to visit their memorial. “Get ‘em there” “I’m on a mission to get as many of these vets as possible on this trip before they are unable to travel,” said fellow veteran Paul Swartz, an active volunteer with Honor Flight DFW. The non-profit group helps locate remaining WWII veterans in the area who are fit enough to take an all-expensespaid trip to the capitol, where they visit eight national memorials over the course of two days. A volunteer team of guardians and medical professionals escort the veterans on the trip, which Swartz said is a “massive undertaking” at a cost of $40,000 per flight.

World War II veterans understandably get emotional when visiting Washington, D.C. memorials during an Honor Flight DFW trip. Photo courtesy Honor Flight DFW “We’re totally devoted to one thing and that’s getting these veterans on these trips,” Swartz said. “They pay for nothing -- we tell them to leave their money at home because it’s no good in Washington.” Honor Flight DFW -- one of 133 similar organizations nationwide -- has facilitated 24 trips since 2008,

The trip of a lifetime For many of the WWII veterans – whose remaining numbers shrink by a nationwide average of 900 individuals daily – the Honor Flight excursion is the trip of a lifetime. “Nearly all of them have never seen their memorial, nor would they ever have the opportunity to see their memorial without this trip,” Swartz said.
