Reed retires as chief of police

Out at Second

Replacement yet to be determined BY MARK K. CAMPBELL Azle will soon need a new police chief. Chief Randy Reed, who took the Azle post after serving for years on the Arlington police force, turned in his retirement letter to Azle City Manager Craig Lemin last week. Reed’s fi nal day as the top cop is Friday, May 30. Lemin said in an email that May 30 was chosen so that “[Reed] could be available if there were any transition related issues that come up.” In 2011, Lemin, a former police chief, hired Reed after a five-month search. The Arlington lieutenant, a 26-year police veteran who began his career in Tyler, was one of 60 applicants for the position. Reed assumed the Azle chief job Nov. 1 that year. He said he enjoyed his time in Azle. “It was a great opportunity. I had a lot of fun,” he said. “It’s a great department and a great city. I enjoyed my time. “There’s a great bunch of guys here.” About changes he instituted while the Azle chief – one of Retiring Randy Reed’s fi nal day as Azle the most recent being a rede- police chief is May 30. Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman signing of the department’s badges – Reed said, “We did a lot of different things over the years. All of them were pretty positive; we’ll see how they work out.” Reed said he was not sure about his future. “I don’t know what I’ll do – whether I’ll stay retired or do something else.” The search for a new chief is underway. In 2011, the job was advertised regionally with top candidates put through a series of managerial scenarios before an assembled committee.

Taking the Oath

Motorcycle collision deadly n MOTORCYCLE, FROM PAGE ONE.

ing a southbound 1996 Honda Accord was stopped at the stop sign on Ashwood Street. The man intended to cross the westbound lanes of SH 199 into the crossover before heading east into Azle. The man told DPS troopers at the scene he saw three motorcycles westbound on SH 199 and waited for them all to pass before he pulled out to cross the westbound lanes. But there were four motorcycles. The fourth bike, a 2001 Harley Davidson driven by Larkin, collided with the driver’s door of the Honda. Its rider was thrown from the cycle and landed on the pavement in the crossover. Larkin was pronounced deceased at the scene. The three other riders, as well as the driver of the Honda, were visibly shaken at the scene. One woman’s post on the Azle News’ Facebook page in reference to Larkin’s death is quite telling: “He was a prince among men. Rarely do men have the honesty and courage he had as well as the gentle grace to walk among those weaker and bless them and help them live better lives. You have no idea what kind of

CorreCtion Last week’s story on the Azle Memorial Library’s summer programs contained two errors. One, the full name of the teen summer reading program is “Spark A Reaction!” Two, early registration is available only for the children’s “Fizz, Boom, Read” program and it started May 27. Teen and adult registration begins June 3. The News regrets the errors.

Hicks was named principal of Walnut Creek in 1988, and served there until his retirement in 2006. “Thomas Hicks was a very caring educator and highly respected throughout his years in education here in Azle ISD,” said Renee Ball, secretary to the superintendent. “He will be greatly missed by former staff members, students, and the community.” Hicks served on the Board of Directors for the Azle Memorial Library as well as the Board of Directors for St. Anne’s Episcopal Church in Lake Worth. He was a member of All Saints’ Episcopal Church.

On social media sites, former students consoled one another and heaped accolades on Hicks after learning of his death. One former student said, “He was a great teacher, man, and later principal. Above all, he was a great encourager for his students. He helped me to begin believing in myself. He was a very special man. He will be missed.” “Truly a kind, gentle man. He will be missed,” said another. “He was one of my favorites. When my mother died 14 years ago, he came to her funeral. I will always remember that. Loved him.” Services are slated for 3 p.m.

Saturday, May 31, at All Saints’ Episcopal Church of Fort Worth with burial afterward at Greenwood Memorial Park. Visitation is 6:30-8:30 p.m. Friday, May 30, at Biggers Funeral Home.

The family requests memorials be made to Walnut Creek Elementary Library and to the Azle Memorial Library. Additional information can be found in Hicks’ obituary elsewhere in the News.

Foundation awards grants, scholarships by carla noah stutsman Education is clearly something the people in and around Azle are concerned with and excited about. At no time is that more evident than the one day each year when the Azle Education Foundation (AEF) goes to each and every campus within the Azle Independent School District (AISD) awarding teacher grants. It’s a big deal. Led by Buzzy, the Azle Hornet mascot, the Azle High School varsity cheerleaders and members of the Marching Green Pride, AISD officials and members of the AEF started at 8:30 a.m. Friday, May 23. After stopping at all campuses, the group finally finished about 1 p.m. At the end of the day, the AEF had awarded 42 teacher grants across the district totaling more than $44,000.

Teachers had the opportunity to apply for grants earlier in the year and were as excited as students were to find out who received the awards. In addition to teacher grants, the AEF has already awarded $14,000 in scholarships to graduating seniors and $7,000 in “new teacher gift cards” to beginning teachers in the district who are also new to the profession Plus, the Foundation will fund two $1,000 grants for staff development to two instructors chosen as Teachers of the Year by the AISD as well as one $3,000 campus grant in August. If you’re keeping track, that’s $70,000 awarded within the AISD during the 2013-2014 school year alone.

On August 21, 1972 I arrived in Springtown to begin an adventure in the practice of Veterinary Medicine. The excitement of the adventure has been everything and more than I expected. Over the last 42 years, I have been presented with challenges that were exciting and humbling. The emotions of these experiences have ranged from the wonders of birth to the reality and the sadness of end of life. My relationship with my clients have ranged from someone just passing through town to being a part of so many families. Love of my work and these relationships has made my decision very difficult. As much as I have loved my journey here in Springtown, all good things have to end sometime. After a three year debate with myself and much prayer, I’ve decided to drop back into semi-retirement. Dr. Brian Barone, a 1995 graduate of Azle High School and received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine in 2004 from A & M, will be assuming ownership of the practice. Dr. Barone comes with excellent qualifications and abilities in emergency and general medicine. He has worked in mixed animal, small animal and emergency practices. He and his wife, Shelly, have 3 childrenCaroline 8, Borynne 6, and Corbin 3 years old. He is very excited about being able to come to Springtown and be close to home again.

Freedom of Speech Signs touting the impeachment of President Obama caught the attention of passersby at the Azle Post Office May 21. Two men promoting the election of Kesha Rogers for U.S. Senate manned the booth, handing out material to those who walked up. One woman screamed “that’s un-American!” from her car as she drove by, but the majority appeared to be interested in hearing what the men had to say.

Aledo ends memorable softball season By MARk k. CAMPBell Azle head softball coach Tracy Tadlock said that Aledo was a veteran team that played good defense. He was right. The Lady Hornet softball team’s season ended at Saginaw Chisholm Trail High School when the Ladycats won the first two games of the regional finals series – 10-2 and 14-4 – over Azle (35-8). While Aledo turned in some defensive gems, the Lady Hornets made errors that allowed Aledo to send runners zipping around the bases. Also working in Aledo’s favor, Tadlock said, was the seniorheavy Ladycats’ experience. “Aledo was there last year with the same exact team and that experience showed,” he said. “They came out and jumped on us and we really did not handle the pressure well.” In the opening game, Azle took the only lead it would have when sophomore Bailee Carter cranked a two-run home run. Raelyn Temple scored ahead of her. That took the spark out of the loud Aledo following and thrilled the substantial group of Azle fans. The Chisholm Trail dia-

mond’s stands were so full that spectators sat behind the outfield fence and stood at fences along the baselines. The Lady Hornet lead was short-lived. Aledo countered, thanks to some messy play in the field by Azle. Starting pitcher Makenzi Harris allowed just two earned runs; Lady Hornets committed five errors that led to eight others. Game two the next day, May 23, got out of hand early as the Ladycats scored 13 runs in the first two and one-half innings and Azle made three more miscues. Bradley got a double and Valarie Matlock scored twice as Azle almost fended off the mercy-rule with three runs in the bottom of the fifth inning. The season ended; this was just the third Lady Hornet team to reach the regional finals. Tadlock said, “We made a pretty good run considering a new coach and a new program were thrown into the mix. “The girls worked hard and did a great job of buying into the new ideas we challenged them with.” This year’s Aledo starters all returned from 2013. That happens for Azle in 2015.

Action from Azle’s opening regional final series game against Aledo at Chisholm Trail High School: (clockwise from above left) teammates await a jubilant Bailee Carter who just smacked a two-run homer to put Azle ahead 2-0; Sarah Brown (20) snags an infield pop fly while catcher Bethanie Phillips gives her room; center fielder Valarie Matlock hauls in a long fly in front of the fence; left fielder Raelyn Temple fires a ball back to the infield; fans sit behind the outfield fence.

AHS trio places in high school rodeo Three Azle High School rodeo athletes placed in the North Texas High School Rodeo Association Finals that capped the 2013-14 season. Competing in the NTHSRA event conducted at Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth were Austin Malone, Chris Osborn, and Bailey Kavanaugh. Malone finished the sea-

son sixth overall with 202 points despite not scoring in the Finals. Osborn competed in chute dogging. At Will Rogers, he pointed in two go-rounds. He collected 25 points in the first and 49 in his second effort for an average score of 42. For the season, Osborn tallied 560 points and was the seventh best chute dogger among NTHSRA competitors for the year.

Rookie cowgirl Kavanaugh was AHS’ other competitor. She earned 42 points in her second effort and averaged 37 points in the Finals. In the yearlong battle, she finished tenth with 238 points. Kavanaugh was also a major player in the All-Around Rookie Cowgirl race where, with 561 points, she finished No. 5.

Dialed in on the history of the telephone

That speeded things up. The innovation birthed “princess phones” that rich kids got installed in their bedrooms. And superrich families even had two ON YOUR phone lines in their house. MARK Two! The Mark K. Campbell phone book would list “children’s phone” if you wanted to talk directly to Buffy. In 1971, my family moved from Fort Worth to Lake Whitney. Awaiting there was the freak of nature called a “party line.” You might pick up the receiver and hear someone – your neighbor – talking. Sometimes you had to butt in or

you’d likely be waiting a long time, regularly checking to see if they had hung up yet. When we returned home from visiting the folks, we’d call our parents “collect” and ask the “operator” for ourselves. Since we weren’t there, charges were denied, and they knew we had made it home safely. Operators were nice. They’d help you find phone numbers in distant towns or for new people who had just moved in nearby. Now they are rare as phone booths. Next, portable phones changed our worlds. Suddenly, you could take the phone into the backyard – without a cord! Could the world possibly get any more incredible?! My friend Rick proved that it could. An employee of Southwest Bell, he had a phone in his car! It was bolted into the floorboard and was kinda scratchy, but you could call people from your vehicle! “Hey, I’m calling you from Sears parking lot! I said

Sears!” That was followed by an even more mobile invention – a phone in a bag. You slung the behemoth over your shoulder and you could call people from a park bench or the supermarket. You could not have been hipper than to have had a bag phone. Until the cell phone came along. It didn’t require a bag. Cell phones were good for making calls initially, and that was more than enough. Plus, it was so dinky it fit in your pocket. Then came apps and thousands of songs and cameras and texting and… well, who knows what’s next? Today, my 13-month-old grandson frisks me for my cell phone every time we meet. He’s good at sliding the phone open and clicking on apps. One day I’ll show him how to make an actual phone call on it.

tanding there in the midst of a roadside swathe of red and yellow Indian blankets sweating as a jog ended, I slid my finger across the screen to stop the Nike Running app which disengaged the GPS as Green Day’s “Brain Stew” rumbled through the earphones – of my phone. My phone! I’ve seen two especially dramatic leaps in my 57-year lifetime – popular music and telephones. Naturally, technology has everything to do with juicing many more areas of life – cars, banking, the deep-frying of turkeys – but music and phones seem to have especially changed. When I was born in the summer of 1956, some guy named Elvis Presley was freaking out parents of teenagers. He’d soon be followed by a British Invasion, psychedelia, disco, punk, New Wave, hair metal, rap, boy bands, Lilith Fair, and Auto-Tune – all of which

continued to freak out other parents. But it’s the phone that has gone bonkers through the years. The first major innovation I can remember was when a really long cord could be attached to a phone’s base; then you could drag the entire unit all the way into your bedroom. You could also purchase a really long, curly cord that attached to the handheld receiver and stretch that sucker far away from your parents and bratty little brother when you finally got the nerve up to call your girlfriend. (Good girls never called boys back then.) To ring up someone, the old rotary dial spun slowly, and you hated when a number had lots or 8’s, 9’s, or 0’s. For a while there, you only had to dial four numbers. Then it rose to seven before the requirement of an area code came along much later. Now: ten numbers! A miracle arrived when the rotary dial was replaced by touch tones.

Let’s make our own conspiracy

President needs to act to fix messed up VA situation Dear Editor: With growing allegations of mismanagement at VA hospitals and reproach that none other than our president once again has his hands tied to it, every American must be thinking: “When is this going to stop?” Perhaps the most insulting thing Mr. Obama said last week was when a reporter asked him when he knew about it. The president replied, “Like you, I found out about it in the newspaper.” Give me a king-sized break. Mr. Obama wouldn’t know the difference between the Azle News and Huey Lewis and the News. Once again, more dissimulations, lies, and guilefulness by a man who feeds on this nonsense; it has already been verified that Mr. Obama was briefed on this subject sometime back. For the life of me, I can’t think of anything more disgraceful than to picayune and bagatelle the fine men and women who are our first responders and armed forces personnel. Wasn’t it Mr. Obama who labeled the Cambridge police officers as “stupid” for arresting his friend in 2009? And now we know the VA was cooking the books – so to speak – off disabled veterans in order to curry favor with the top brass for more money. Who oversees all the federal agencies as the nation’s CEO and who is the stupid one now? Joseph Bryan Fort Worth

Some have suggested that age has something to do with that. I suggest that they mind their own bedtimes). Now, back to my story. So, driving through this town, I saw one of those scrolling LED signs outside a business establishment. The date was May 13. Here’s what the sign said: “Happy Holidays!” My first thought was, “Wow! They really need to update their sign.” My second thought was, “OMGoodness! The same Secularists who have stolen Christmas are now out to get Mother’s Day! First, they won’t let us mention Jesus! Now, they are taking away Mama! What’s next? Let me remind you that, after bedtime, my SQ (sarcasm quotient) really ratchets up.

What if we conspired together to give skeptics and critics a reason to believe that our lives, and theirs, matter to God? What if we conspired together to give people the impression that their ideas matter as much to us as we would like for our ideas to matter to them? Maybe our holidays would be a little happier and maybe we would have more impact on our culture. Just a theory.

Ever heard of Stetson U., named after the hat man?

ne tends to forget that many Western things began in the East and came to the West: immigrants, railroads, telegraph, meat packing plants, even the discovery of oil in Pennsylvania in 1859. While visiting my sister-in-law in Florida a couple of weeks ago, I saw a sign, “Stetson University.” I wondered, “Was that the Mr. Stetson who created the Western hats?” I had to find out. Founded in 1883, the school began as DeLand Academy, named after the New York philanthropist who founded it. In 1887 the Florida Legislature approved its charter as a university. It soon provided the first law school in the state of Florida. A town of DeLand emerged around it. Financial reverses prevented Mr. DeLand from continuing to support the school, so John B. Stetson, a founding trustee of the school, gave a great deal of money. Consequently, in 1889 the name was

THE

changed to Stetson University. Presently there are four campuses across central Florida, including the original one in the town of DeLand. DeLand Hall, built in 1884, is the oldest building in Florida used continuously for higher education. Another building is Elizabeth Hall, named after Stetson's wife. Campuses are located in Gulfport, a suburb of St. Petersburg (where I was visiting), Celebration, and in downtown Tampa. Stetson University has such high admission standards that one-third of those who apply are turned down. Ninety-eight percent of the nearly 4,000 students are full-time and must live on campus. Stetson University ranks in the “Top 5 Best Colleges in the South” and its College of Law ranks No. 1 nationally in trial advocacy. Does it surprise anyone that the athletic teams are called the Stetson Hatters? Although I've written a column on John Stetson before, let me tell his sto-

ry again with new things I have learned. John Batterson Stetson was born in 1830 in New Jersey, the seventh of twelve children of a hat maker. They moved to Philadelphia, PAGES FROM and he worked his father WESTERN with but became HISTORY ill with tuberTold J’Nell L.

and snow. Stetson showed them how to make felt from animal fur, which was lighter than hides and waterproof. He made a hat with a wide-brim just to keep off the rain. Some ridiculed it, but a bull whacker paid him a $5 gold piece for it. Stetson's good health returned after a year, so he went home to Philadelphia and in 1865 experimented with styles. A fur supplier let him pay on credit, so he took a bold move and sent a free Stetson hat to clothing vendors in the West. He asked them to buy twelve hats and sell them. The move paid off, and he was on his way. He built a new factory, had a Building and Loan Association to help his workers buy homes, and included health care. Later he built a hospital. Stetson eventually produced more hats than any other hat maker in the world, over three million a year. His operations in other countries included Australia, Brazil, Columbia, Finland, Guatemala, Ireland, Japan, Mexico,

New Zealand, Norway, South Africa and West Germany. No wonder he could support a university! By the 1980s the company diversified into fragrances, clothes, footwear, eyewear, belts and even bourbon. Since 2009 a company called Pro Equine Group has owned the Stetson brand. Pro Equine consists of several companies or business units focused on Western products such as ropes, saddles, products of rodeo and ranching. A company called Hatco, Inc. manufactures Western hats and clothing as the Stetson brand. In fact, a Stetson Hat Company is located in Garland. It’s funny that seeing a green and white road sign saying “Stetson University” provoked me to wonder if it was that Stetson. Go Stetson Hatters!

Big govt. posts at stake in primary runoffs

arly voting ended May 23 and Tuesday, May 27, was state primary election runoff day. Voting records available to the public at the Office of the Secretary of State show that turnout is historically low for mid-term primaries and even lower for primary runoff elections. But what’s different about this set of runoffs – and something that should stimulate voter turnout – were the powerful offices at stake. Tops in that regard was the race for lieutenant governor, the state’s second-highest-ranking executive post. Three of the lieutenant governor’s many important duties are picking committee chairs and members, controlling the flow of legislation and shepherding the state budget as a member of the Legislative Budget Board. Republicans voting in the runoff for lieutenant governor chose between incumbent Lt.

Gov. David Dewhurst of Houston and challenger Dan Patrick, a state senator representing northwest Houston. Dewhurst, as lieutenant governor, has presided over the Senate since 2003. Patrick, first elected in 2007, served as chair of the Senate Committee on Education in the 2013 regular session of the Legislature. The winner will face Leticia Van de Putte of San Antonio, a state senator who ran unopposed in the March Democratic primary. Van de Putte served as a member of the Texas House of Representatives from 1990 to 1999 and has been a member of the Senate since 1999. She joins fellow state Sen. Wendy R. Davis, candidate for governor, on the Democratic ticket. Davis will face Republican candidate for governor Greg Abbott, current Texas attorney general, in November. In the Republican runoff for attorney general, the choices were lawyer-legislators Dan Branch of Dallas, a state repre-

sentative, and Ken Paxton of McKinney, a state senator. For agriculture commissioner, RepubSTATE licans CAPITAL cb eht wo ese ne HIGHLIGHTS f o r m e r repEd Sterling state resentatives Sid Miller of Stephenville and Tommy Merritt of Longview. And, in the race for railroad commissioner, GOP voters chose between former State Rep. Wayne Christian of Center and Ryan Sitton, a Pasadena oil, gas and petrochemical industry consultant. Democratic voters chose between runoff opponents Dr. David M. Alameel of Dallas and

Kesha Rogers of Houston, who are vying to face incumbent U.S. Sen. John Cornyn on the November ballot. And, for agriculture commissioner, Democrats chose between authormusician-humorist Richard S. “Kinky” Friedman of Medina and farmer-rancher-insurance agent Jim Hogan of Cleburne. Texas Tech picks Duncan Texas Tech Board of Regents on May 19 announced state Sen. Robert Duncan, RLubbock, as the sole finalist for chancellor of the Texas Tech University System. He is expected to resign from the Texas Senate and start in his new capacity on July 1. As chancellor, Duncan will serve as chief executive officer and will report to the system’s board of regents.

hile the 2 0 1 4 Memorial Day weekend resulted in 11 deaths, several newly-created teams were dispatched to help Texas Parks and Wildlife wardens on Lone Star waters. Seven drownings were reported and four other people died in boating-related accidents, noted the TPW in a report. Wardens responded to 21 boating accidents that also included a pair of serious injuries. “Texas game wardens will remember this Memorial Day weekend for years to come,” said Lt. Col. Danny Shaw, deputy director of law enforcement for TPW. This year, the organization

dispatched several new law enforcement teams to assist wardens. One was a dive unit that helped with body recovery on Lake Lewisville. That victim was found using sonar. Others teams included: • STORM – Statewide Forensics Reconstruction and Mapping Team. This group aided wardens with investigations involving boating. • CID – Criminal Investigations Division. This group also responded to boating accidents. • CIT – Critical Incident Team. This group acted in a support function for a boating accident in Jasper County where a warden was injured. Wardens also stayed busy working search and rescue seven flash flood during holiday deluges.

Movie Man

Wednesday, May 28, 2014

X marks the spot for another successful sequel The Movie Man did something he hasn’t done in a long time: He shoehorned himself in amongst hordes of fanboys and fangirls at an advance showing of a movie. About the film We’ve discussed before how an audience can affect the enjoyment of a fi lm – negatively through jabberers/phones/babies or positively when likeminded folks pack in to revel in a corporate experience. In the case of superhero movies, the crowd with the Movie Man was highly twentysomethings-infested who applauded at the end, waited for the fi nal credits stinger while talking excitedly, then huddled outside the theater entrance to smoke and discuss. Among the topics in their haze was that fact that Quicksilver was introduced. And the speedster will also appear in May 2015 in the next Avengers movie, Age of Ultron. The catch? He’s played by different actors. Fox owns X-Men while Marvel Studios holds most of the rest of its characters. The studios agreed that Quicksilver would appear in both. But the weirdness is that he will be played by two different actors. Days of Future Past’s Quicksilver is Evan Peters. In Ultron, the mutant is portrayed by Aaron Taylor-Johnson (such a dullard in the otherwise fun Godzilla [Movie Man No. 1,090, a 7]). The two series look unlikely to merge; they exist in different universes, a traditional comic book trope. Other hipster topics outside the theater entrance included time travel (Days of Future Past doesn’t mess with it too much – besides the subject was best addressed by Homer J. Simpson in “Time and Punishment,” part of the classic “Treehouse of Horror V” Simpsons Halloween episode in 1994 [“close enough”]) – and the fact that

Hugh Jackman set the record for the most times playing a hero since he’s been Wolverine in seven movies now. (Patrick Stewart has portrayed Professor X six times.) A third mind-scratcher for the ski-cap adorned lovers of Spandexed characters was lining up the X-movies in chronological order. That took a lot of cigarettes. The plot (spoilers) The future is really bad for mutants and humans. Machines called Sentinels can detect mutants then mimic their powers to defeat them. Plus, they have weeded out any humans who might potentially birth a mutant. Now, the rampaging beings have destroyed all but a few mutants. Trapped, Professor X (Stewart) and Magneto (Ian McKellen) hatch a desperate scheme – sending someone back in time to stop Mystique (Jennifer Lawrence) from killing the creator of the machines, Trask (Peter Dinklage); when she gets captured after the murder, her blood/DNA is used to make the invincible Sentinels. The only mutant who could handle the trip and would be alive in 1973 is Wolverine (Jackman). Kitty Pryde (Ellen Page) transports Wolvie’s consciousness into his 1973 body where he must convince a drug-addled young Professor X (James McAvoy) to help him stop Mystique – and they’ll need the help of Magneto (Michael Fassbender) who happens to be imprisoned in the Pentagon. With Professor X and Magneto being arch enemies and Mystique not about to change her mind, Wolverine has quite a chore ahead of him. Meanwhile, back in the future, scads of Sentinels are closing in on the last stronghold of mutants – like Colossus (Daniel Cudmore), Blink (Bingbing Fan), and Warpath (Booboo Stewart) – and killing

of pilfered Ding Dongs stacked everywhere. Drafted to help, the speedy one has a great scene when the group tries to fl ee with Magneto. It’s in super slo-motion with Quicksilver seeing everything barely moving. He races around a kitchen, comically messing with the now-immobile attackers and casually fl icking deadly bullets away from intended mutant targets. It’s the scene everyone will be talking about – and look for sales of Jim Croce’s “Time in a Bottle” to rise.

ryleigh Strickland takes a break beneath the water umbrella in the little bay at the SplashPad.

Waterpark opens with a splash in Springtown By Natalie GeNtry Opening day of the Springtown SplashPad on May 24 went really well according to City Secretary, Jhanna Bogan. All told, 128 daily passes were sold and many other folks showed up with season passes. In addition to the obvious draw of the big bucket o’water, early favorite elements seem to be the water cannons and the green water umbrella in the little bay. Daily SplashPad entry for Springtown residents – if you pay your water bill, sewage, or trash at City Hall you are considered a resident– is $2 per

person and $4 for non-residents if bought at the Springtown City Hall. Costs at the gate are $3 for city residents and $5 or nonresidents. Springtown is offering a season-pass sale that offers a 10 percent discount until May 30. A Springtown resident can buy a family pass for up to five for $54. Non-residents pay $85 for five. This offer is only good if purchased at the Springtown City Hall. Individual season passes during the sale are $13.50 for residents and $27 for non-residents.

After May 30, family season passes will be $60 for residents and $95 for non-residents, and individual passes will be $15 for residents and $30 for nonresidents. Replacement bands for lost season passes are $10. The entire waterpark can also be reserved for evening parties through City Hall. Residents can host 25 people for $50 from 6-9 p.m. Monday through Saturday. Non-residents pay $100. Reservations can be made at the Springtown City Hall on a Gage Payne was officially the first kid to be drenched by the giant bucket that is the Photos by Natalie Gentry

Parker County Crimestoppers board seek tips, volunteers The Parker County Crime Stoppers Board wants the public to notice the red and white signs popping up all over the county. The signs alert the public of the organization’s ability to take anonymous tips about crimes and suspects and generate them into solved cases resulting in arrests. Additional signs are placed throughout the county each year, informing the public what number to dial when calling with tips. The 2013 year proved the Parker County Crime Stoppers volunteer board has been productive. In 2013, the organization assisted local law enforcement agencies by receiving and forwarding 120 tips which led to 33 arrests, 31 cases cleared, and 27 additional charges, which La’Shea Willis makes her initial pass through the water- would not have been made pospark at the opening on May 24.

Those same tips led to the capture of 14 fugitives whose arrests would not have been made possible without people taking the initiative to call the hotline anonymously. Also last year, the organization received tips which generated a total of 27 additional charges, leading to more than 26 separate rewards which were approved by the board last year, for a total annual payout of $9,600 of combined anonymous tips. The organization said thanks to the hotline and because of tipsters, illegal narcotics with a street value of $13,815 were seized by officers and deputies, and are no longer on the streets of Parker County. Board members stressed that tips are generated and completed anonymously through the hotline. Call takers forward the tips to the appropriate law enforce-

ment agency, then to the proper division, and on to the investigator or detective assigned to the cases. Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said tips are extremely helpful when all leads are exhausted and investigators need to turn to the public in locating individuals or searching for additional leads on crucial cases. “In many instances, it helps significantly to have a reward posted regarding sensitive cases so we can locate a suspect,” Fowler said. “We are fortunate to have the Crime Stoppers organization in assisting us. Many cases would go unresolved without their cooperation and their strict policy of anonymity in generating tips from the public.” Weatherford Police Chief Mike Manning echoed Fowler’s praise for Parker County Crime Stoppers. “The organization’s statistics

speak for themselves,” Manning said. “It is a highly successful cooperative effort between the citizens and law enforcement. If not for the participation of the donors, citizens and board members we would not have near the success as we have seen.” The local Crime Stoppers organization is growing along with the population. Board members are seeking additional volunteers as reputable board members. If you are interested in becoming a part of the organization or volunteering for the board, call Weatherford Police Captain Greg Lance, at 817598-4403. If you have a tip regarding a local case or crime, you can remain anonymous when calling the Parker County Crime Stoppers Hotline at 817-599-5555. Crime Stoppers will pay up to $1,000 for information leading to an arrest or indictment.

Parker County refi saves $1 million Parker County’s recent financial move to refund the county’s series 2005 tax certificates has resulted in savings of more than $1 million in taxpayer dollars. On April 28, the Parker County Commissioners Court voted unanimously to direct the county’s financial agent First Southwest Company to make the move. The refunding issue achieved total present value savings equal to 7.284% of the $12,105,000 refunded amount. Average annual savings will be $95,751 from 2015 through 2025, with total debt service savings through the life of the refunding issue being $1,053,256. “We were able to take advantage of a historically low taxable interest rate environment,” County Judge Mark Riley said.

“The court, the auditor’s office, and I work hard with our financial team to make the prudent and conservative moves to be good stewards of our tax dollars. Riley said the financial news continued with S&P Rating Company upgrading Parker County’s bond rating from AAto AA, and Fitch Rating assigning the county a AA rating, which is the same as its previous rating. “Our continued financial stability is due in large part to the contributions and work ethic of County Auditor Mike Rhoten and his staff,” Riley said.
