Dog shooting causes international uproar Caged mother with puppies slain then discarded on roadside

BY NATALIE GENTRY Parker County Sheriff’s investigators arrested a local woman June 1 in connection to an animal cruelty case.

Tammy Green Douglas, 44, of Parker County was arrested early Sunday morning, June 1, after a tip led investigators to her residence.

Wednesday, May 28, when a Springtown ISD bus driver called the Sheriff’s Communications Center after discovering a caged dog and puppies while on the morning route.

The driver reported a dog inside a kennel with an apparent gunshot wound to the head.

The cage had been left partially in the roadway in the 100 block of Raley A gruesome discovery The search for a suspect began early Road just off of Veal Station Road in

Springtown.

There were 11 elementary school children on the bus at the time, but it is believed they did not witness the scene.

Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said the worst part of the call came when animal control offi cers arrived and discovered the deceased dog had 10 puppies inside the kennel with their mother.

“These puppies were left defense-

less and still nursing on their deceased mother,” Fowler said.

Sheriff’s Animal Control Supervisor Karen Kessler said the mother dog was a 4-year-old shepherd mix, weighing about 35 pounds.

Kessler added the dogs were deliberately placed inside the wire dog kennel, with an egg crate glued to cardboard which was placed in the bottom of the kennel.

“There are seven female and three male puppies, approximately 7-9 days old,” Kessler said. “One of the puppies barely has its eyes open.

“They were covered in their mother’s blood from where she had been

shot in the top of the head, with the exit wound located on the left side of her neck leaving a large puddle of blood,” She continued. “The mother was obviously malnourished and should have weighed at least 50 pounds. We also found an empty metal pan inside the crate.”

Fowler said after the story was aired on local news and distributed on social media numerous tips were received concerning the case.

Sheriff’s investigators followed up on several tips, where concerned citizens recognized the deceased dog and PLEASE SEE CAGED, PAGE 2A.

Wayne Conner, 27, also of Springtown attempted to take evasive action but was unable to avoid the collision.

Conner received a puncture wound to his abdomen. He was taken to Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth.

Connor’s passenger, Caitlin Conner, 23, suffered a severe injury to her left foot and leg and was transported by CareFlite to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth.

Smith was taken to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Azle by family members.

Thousands gather for milestone event

BY NATALIE GENTRY Once again, inclement weather that had been predicted for the night of Springtown High School’s graduation never materialized.

With a thunderhead slowly dissipating in the distance, thousands of family and friends of SHS graduates gathered at Porcupine Stadium on the evening of May 31.

With the stadium packed to standing room-only, the Class of 2014 received their degrees on the pleasant, if a little humid, evening.

For the last time SHS Principal Chris Pennington led the proceedings that began with the procession of 181 graduates across the new turf accompanied by traditional rendition of “Pomp and Circumstance” played by

the SHS band.

Valedictorian Shay Chandler and salutatorian Rebecca ‘Nikki’ Jones led the class.

Both gave light-hearted and moving addresses, to their peers, friends, and families.

One graduate, Caleb Plumlee, received his appointment to the Air Force Academy, which is equal to a full four-year scholarship, including housing, books, meals, and a monthly stipend.

Pennington announced that this class of SHS students earned an astonishing $2,199,650 dollars to continue their educations.

He then gave the graduates eight pieces of advice he said he wished he had received as a grad.

1. Don’t litter.

Your mother probably won’t work at your choice of college or employment. As a matter of fact, go the second mile, and pick up someone else’s litter.

2. Learn to spell.

When the lights go off, you won’t have Spell Check.

3. You have two ears, and one month; use them in proportion.

If you chance to meet someone who lived through the Great Depression and WWII as an adult or a teenager, park yourself right there, and listen – it’s an opportunity your children won’t have.

4. Put your iPhones, tablets and computers down from time to time

Firefighters from the Springtown and Reno VFDs responded to a two-vehicle accident at the intersection of Knob Hill Road and Ross Road at approximately 10:10 a.m. June 2. Involved were a 2006 Saturn driven by Betty Anne Thompson and a 2010 Escape driven by Billy Joe Brown. Thompson was traveling west on Knob Hill Road when Brown, who was headed south on Ross Road, failed to yield the right of way from a stop sign, according to reports. Brown said that due to the crest of the hill he was unable to see Thompson’s vehicle.

Thompson took evasive measures to avoid Brown’s vehicle by swerving left and then over-corrected which caused her vehicle to fishtail and slide up onto its side before coming to rest on its wheels in a nearby yard.

feet.” he said.

During this time, the practice evolved from treating primarily large animals to small ones.

Gieb sees this change as a reflection of the growth of the town.

Advancements in medical technology are another development Gieb has experienced.

“The available technology has bloomed phenomenally in veterinary medicine,” Gieb said “And we’ve been able to keep up with part of it. But obviously some things just aren’t feasible for a practice this size.

“But emergency referral services are available now, where

they weren’t when I first started.”

Gieb said the first days of his practice with the large animals was basically 24 hours a day, 365 days a year.

Springtown has changed greatly over the years – the population has grown, the roads have been paved, and the phone service has transitioned from party lines to cell phones.

Connection Gieb has found that practicing as a veterinarian in a small town often requires more than just treating animals.

“There are a few people who ask me to explain what their doctor told them,” Gieb said. “And I explain it the best I can with

the limited information they can provide.”

He has also found that the small-town crowd can be very loyal.

“People feel like I’m part of their family,” Gieb said. “I have patients who are the grandchildren of people I worked for.

“We become part of the families; their deaths and their births become part of our lives, too.”

Transition “I want to clarify that I’m not locking the doors and leaving.”

Gieb said with a smile. “I would never just lock up and leave town; it’s just not in my makeup to do that.”

He said that once that misconception was explained away, the reaction to his semi-retirement has been a positive one.

“People have told me they are glad I’m going to be able to do something else and that there was someone else coming in,” he said. “I’ll be happy to be able to work four or five days a week and be able to go home and not have to be on call.”

This chance to slow down has never been a choice before for Gieb.

“My makeup is such that I can’t not worry, so I was up at all hours thinking or checking on a case,” he said.

“The police have come to recognize my truck, so they don’t worry when they see it at two o’clock in the morning when it wasn’t there at one.”

Diversification Once his semi-retirement is in effect he plans to practice parttime and do relief work as well as take courses and go to seminars to keep up with changes in the field.

He will continue work with the Chamber of Commerce board and he hopes to start attending Optimist Club meetings again.

“I also want to take some courses in Bible study at the college,” Gieb said. “I finished the first year, but my schedule made it difficult to continue.”

In addition, he wants to travel a little...after he finishes a few projects around the house.

Most importantly, he wants to spend time with his family.

“It’s been a good ride,” Gieb said. “The practice has been good to me, I’m happy, and I’ve been very blessed by the good Lord.

“My family life, kids and grandkids are a blessing, so, whatever time I may have left, I’ll enjoy.”

KERA and StateImpact Texas, “a reporting project of NPR” radio stations, will host a free public event to explore the issues surrounding a series of 30-plus earthquakes that occurred in and around Azle and Reno from November 2013 through January 2014.

This public forum is slated for 7-8 p.m. on Wednesday, June 18, in the Azle High School auditorium, 1200 Boyd Road.

“What’s Behind the North Texas Quakes? A KERA/ StateImpact Texas Discus-

sion” will be moderated by KERA Senior Reporter Doualy Xaykaothao, who has covered major earthquakes in Japan, Indonesia and Thailand.

The panel discussion will include State Rep. Phil King, R-Weatherford, Reno Mayor Lynda Stokes, SMU Associate Professor of Geophysics Heather DeShon, and StateImpact Texas reporter Mose Buchele, who’s covered the oil and gas industry for many years.

Audience questions will be moderated by StateImpact Texas reporter Terrence Henry.

According to a news release from KERA, North Texas has the largest onshore natural gas field in the state, and some experts believe it may be the largest in the country.

Some reports say scientists have linked the disposal of drilling wastewater used in fracking to earthquakes.

Seismologists are studying the quakes in Parker and Tarrant Counties to monitor where the earthquakes occur, when and why.

The event is open to the general public and admission is free.

Springtown’s Wisper Cox heads to Nashville, TN Invite takes singer to the CMA Fan Fair

BY NATALIE GENTRY Wisper Cox, of Springtown, and her father headed out to Nashville June 4 where she will perform during the 2014 Country Music Association’s Music Festival and Fan Fair.

Cox was invited to open the fan club party in Nashville at the famed Silver Dollar Saloon by Michael Kay, founder of a popular website for rising stars of country music, Nashville Universe.

Kay fi rst spotted Cox as she was performing at the South Bar and Grill last February while she was in Nashville au-

ditioning for The Voice.

Although she didn’t make the cut for the show, the trip provided Cox the opportunity to sing at The Bluebird Cafe, John A’s, The Nashville Palace, and a host of other venues.

It was during one of those performances that Kay noticed Cox’s yodeling and invited her to open their show the next evening at The Dawg House Saloon.

After her enthusiastic reception by the crowd, Kay then asked her back to open the fan club party June 5.

While in Nashville, Cox will also be performing at The Nashville Palace.

“My biggest dream in life is to perform on stage at The Grand Ole Opry,” Cox said.

On the local front, Wisper also found out this week she will sing for the fourth consecutive year at Wild West Festival in Springtown.

She is looking forward to the event because, while performing in Nashville is an exciting prospect, she said she loves to sing for her hometown, family, and friends.

Wisper Cox traveled to Nashville June 4 to perform during 2014 CMA Music Festival and Fan Fair.

weekly pickup

“Service from our family to yours” Are you looking for ways to make your money go further? Many of us are cutting back, and being careful about what we spend in this economy. We want to save money on household necessities, but when it comes to services around our home, we don’t want to sacrifice our peace of mind to save a few dollars. We want our service providers to be honest and dependableworthy of our trust.

Billy Green is that kind of man. He raised his son Tim to treat others with respect. He encouraged and developed Tim’s heart of service. Watching his father, Tim had an example of great moral character and strong work ethics. Together they are a glowing example of honesty, reliability and selfsacrifice.

When you have the opportunity to visit with them, you instantly feel at ease.

Their positive attitudes are contagious, and you will leave with a smile.

Together, Billy and Tim started Atex Trash Service. It was a way for them to serve their community- their neighbors. Being able to make a living serving others is a dream come true for Tim.

While working for Buick Motor Division, Roy surrendered to the ministry and began to attend Trinity Valley Baptist

Seminary. He graduated with the first graduating class in 1963 with a Bachelor of Divinity degree. He was called to his first pastorate at East Side Baptist Church in San Angelo, Texas. He pastored Westland First Baptist Church, West Handley Baptist Church, and Kings Highway Baptist Church, all located in Fort Worth, Texas; and Gateway Baptist Church in Borger, Texas. He pastored in the ministry for 52 years. The final years of his life, he worshiped at Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in Springtown, Texas, under Brother Bobby Evans. He earned his Master of Divinity degree from Bethany Theological Seminary in 1990 and an Honorary Doctorate degree from Trinity Valley Baptist Seminary in 1995. Brother Roy loved his Lord.

He was preceded in death by his parents, infant daughter, and half-brother, Archie Gene Veal.

Springtown Hosts 7-on-7 League Games

The Porcupines hosted Wise County 7-on-7 league games May 29. Springtown faced Decatur first, winning in “overtime” with an extra play. In that last ditch effort, Dillon Springfield leapt to snatch a ball away from an Eagle defender and scored. Next for SHS is an attempt to earn a trip to the state 7-on-7 tournament in College Station by playing in an SQT – state qualifying tournament – in Glen Rose June 7. Another chance arrives June 21 in Boyd. A top two finish is necessary to lock down a state berth.

On offense here, left to right, are Jared Green, Jonathan Chavez, and Mateo Herrera.

OPINION Thursday, June 5, 2014

Here’s one of two terribly wonderful stories

P

eople occasionally come up to me and say that they feel like they know me after reading this column each week. I think that’s a nice compliment but the Bride...well, not so much sometimes since I occasionally reveal something weird that has happened to me/us that’d she’d just as soon stay private.

(Like snakes in dishwashers and whizzing on poison ivy to kill it.)

Sorry, pumpkin, this is one of those columns.

Actually, this is one of two of those columns that I have sat on for decades; now after 1,126 prior On Your Marks and 22 years, here’s the first one.

It’s actually a terribly wonderful story of true love. Kinda.

ago, we went First: background. I grew up in through drawa family that wasn’t exactly indeers and found pendently wealthy. We lived off the an astoundWeatherford Traffic Circle in Fort ing number of Worth with a bunch of other families things wrapped that were generously called middle in foil, then put class. in a Zip-Lock, (Still, I had a phenomenal childthen wrapped hood, full of baseball and sunshine in foil again! and baloney sandwiches and KoolAnd it would Aid and bikes for Christmas [that I be a button or found out a half century later my dad ON YOUR bookmark. went into cruel debt to get for my little Anyway, the brother and me].)

Campbell because of her Depression proved that anything could be wrapped in foil – it’s the female version of duct upbringing, we never threw anything tape. When we moved her to an as- away at our house.

The Bride found this out early in our sisted living apartment a few years

marriage.

Visiting, we had just finished eating supper – I’m sure mom made me something special, different from whatever everyone else had because, well, I’m special (a trait the Bride did not smile upon, by the way) – when the Bride volunteered to clean off the table.

She got tossed a rag from the rag drawer. The Bride didn’t think much of the cloth at first. Yeah, it was kind of raggedy but would do the job.

Then she noticed what it was – an old pair of male underwear, probably mine from several years prior.

I had spent my entire life wiping tables off with underwear. Who hadn’t?

Sure the tightie-whities were no longer suitable for their original purpose

– which, admittedly, lasted way longer than the usual shelf life in my case – but despite their holiness, wadded they cleaned off a dining room table just fine.

Here’s the true love part: The (horrified) Bride went about cleaning the table, non-judgmental and smiling.

(Afterward, however, she did wash her hands for 35 minutes.)

You must really love somebody to use their old underwear on a tabletop and not make a federal case out of it.

This concludes the first of two terribly wonderful stories.

The second is a Thanksgiving tale and will arrive Nov. 25.

Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and today his worn underwear mysteriously disappears.

How to be happy with your choices

H Fixing bird feeder problems

H

aving birds around enhances lives and yards.

But enticing them can also cause some problems.

Birds know when they find a good place for food; they also know what places to skip.

Here are five faux pas to avoid when feeding birds: 1. Serving junk food Birds don’t want human food or cheap seed mixes stuffed with filler and sometimes chemicals.

Stick with high-quality blends and dried mealworms.

2. Keeping birds safe Birds zero in on food – not windows feeders might be adjacent to. Collisions kill birds.

Put feeders 30 feet from windows or reflecting objects that could be disorienting. It that’s not possible, put at least three feet between the feeder and objects.

3. Uninvited guests Squirrels like bird feed as much as the feathered critters do. Not only will squirrels devour entire feeders, they will scare away timid bird species.

To keep squirrels out of feeders, purchase seeds infused with peppers like habanero. Birds don’t taste the

heat but squirrels sure do.

4. Consider ambiance Birds need cover and keeping feeders near shrubs and trees provide protection from predators. A yard without cover isn’t attractive to birds.

Choose a sunny, calm location; east and south provide protection from northers. Make sure feeders are accessible since they must be refilled daily.

Open bowl designs make feeders easier to service.

5. Make feeders attractive Varied styles of feeders have the greatest chance of attracting different species of birds.

Anthony Bledsoe – Part 4: Slain nocturnally by Indians

I

n 1788, for greater security, Colonel Bledsoe moved his family to the fort of his brother, Isaac, at Bledsoe's Lick, where on the night of July 20, he was killed by the Indians. At the time of his death he was the first colonel of militia, a Justice of the Peace, and a member of the Legislature.

Following is an account of the killing of Colonel Anthony Bledsoe, given by General William Hall, who was present with his mother, brothers and sisters in the fort: “Of those killed at B1edsoe's Fort and in the neighborhood, about this time, an account may be interesting.

The fort was an oblong square, and built all around in a regular stockade except at one place where stood a large double cabin. This was occupied by the two brothers, Colonel Anthony and Colonel Isaac Bledsoe. This cabin stood in the front line of the fort, the whole being built, it will be understood around an open square. Except-

ing the open passage between the two cabins, the whole was completely enclosed. Here Colonel Anthony Bledsoe was killed with a servant of his, by the Indians. The circumstances were these: “A lane came down at right angles to the fort thus described, the mouth of it being about thirty yards distant, whilst the Nashville road ran along in front. The Indians, it appears, had been reconnoitering the place in their prowlings through the day, and the night being a bright, moonlight one, the savages posted themselves in the fence corners fronting the passage referred to as between the two cabins.

“Then they got a party to mount on horseback and gallop past, in order to attract persons into the passage through which the moonlight poured in full splendor. The plot succeeded.

“At the sound of the horses' feet, Colonel Anthony Bledsoe and Campbell, the servant, both jumped up and stepped into the passage, when the Indians shot them both down. The Colonel died the

next morning, the servant the morning afterwards. I was in the fort at the time. The occurrence took place about midnight.

This was on the 20th of July, 1788.”

Gilmore, in HISTORICAL his Advance of CiviHIGHLIGHTS Guard lization, says: Laurie Moseley “Bledsoe was taken up, carried into the house and laid upon a bed, while Hall, Rogan and Clendenning manned the portholes in expectation of an attack from the savages.

No attack followed, but it was soon discovered that Colonel Bledsoe was mortally wounded and could live but a few hours. Then occurred one of those instances of heroism which were so

common among the settlers. Bledsoe had two sons and seven daughters, and by the North Carolina law of that period only male heirs inherited the real estate of an intestate. He desired to make a will to protect his daughters, but it was discovered that there was no fire nor any means of striking a light on the premise.

“Then Hugh Rogan volunteered to go for a light to a neighboring station.

This he did, and returned safely with a burning brand in his hand, though he had to run the gauntlet of not less than fifty savages.”

The suggestion that a will be made came from the wife of Colonel Bledsoe's brother, Isaac. (Gilmore is in error as to the number of children.)

Will of Colonel Anthony Bledsoe “In the name of God. Amen.

“Being near to death, I make my will as follows: I desire my lands at Kentucky to be sold; likewise my lands on Holston, at the discretion of

Lieutenant governor’s challenger wins runoff

R

epublican voters picked Dan Patrick to face Democrat Leticia Van de Putte in the race for lieutenant governor in November.

Patrick received 65 percent of the vote to incumbent Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst’s 35 percent in the May 27 runoff. Sen. Patrick, R-Houston, and Sen. Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, have seven years and 15 years of experience, respectively, as members of the 31-member Senate. Van de Putte ran unopposed in the March Democratic Party Primary.

Dewhurst has presided over the Senate since 2003. His term of office will expire on Dec. 31.

A businessman in private life, Dewhurst has been credited for his leadership in balancing five two-year state budgets and in building a multi-billion dollar “rainy day” fund to be tapped in fiscal emergencies.

In other party primary runoff results, incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. John Cornyn will face Dallas businessman Dr. David M. Alameel, a Democrat, in the November general election. Alameel won the primary runoff with 72 percent of the vote to Kesha Rogers of Houston’s 28 percent. Jim Hogan of Cleburne won the Democratic runoff for agriculture commissioner over Richard S. “Kinky” Friedman.

Hogan’s opponent in November will be former state Rep. Sid Miller of Stephenville, who beat former state Rep. Tommy Merritt of Longview in the GOP runoff. Â State Sen. Ken Paxton of McKinney, with 63.6 percent of the vote, won the GOP runoff for attorney general against state Rep. Dan Branch of Dallas, who received 36.4 percent. Pasadena oil, gas and petrochemical consultant Ryan Sitton won the GOP runoff for a seat on the three-member Texas Railroad Commission in a con-

test with former state Rep. Wa y n e Christian of Center.

Greenville physician Dr. Bob Deuell, a longSTATE serving member CAPITAL of the HIGHLIGHTS Te x a s S e n a t e , Ed Sterling was defeated by 300 votes in a runoff against Bob Hall of Edgewood.

And, incumbent Republican U.S. Rep. Ralph Hall of Rockwall, with 47.2 percent of the vote, lost in his runoff bid against John Ratcliffe, who received 52.8 percent. The outcome of this runoff was reported in the national news.

Hall, 91, is a World War II veteran and the oldest member

of the U.S. House of Representatives. He was a Democrat when he first entered the House in 1981 and in 2004 switched to the Republican Party. Ratcliffe, who served under thenPresident George W. Bush as a U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Texas, also served eight terms as mayor of Heath, Texas, a municipality just south of Hall’s home in Rockwall, 30 minutes east of Dallas.

Coming up this month are state party conventions during which nominations will be made official. The Republican State Convention will be held at the Fort Worth Convention Center from June 5-7 and the Democratic State Convention will be held June 26-28 at the Dallas Convention Center.

Hearing focuses on impeachment Steps toward impeachment of University of Texas System regent Wallace Hall of Dallas continued May 21 when the

House Select Committee on Transparency in State Agency Operations met. Earlier in May the panel voted to move forward in processes leading toward having Hall removed from office.

The panel and the state’s Public Integrity Unit have been investigating Hall for nearly a year to determine if the regent misused his office in an attempt to have UT President William Powers Jr. fired. Invited to testify was Jeff Archer, Texas Legislative Council assistant executive counsel who explained the framework for developing articles of impeachment. Any member or group of members of the Legislature may confidentially submit a proposed article of impeachment, and submitted material would be parceled out to a trio of drafting attorneys, he said, adding that articles of impeachment drawn up by the House would be subject to review by Senate.

Texas House Parliamentarian

Chris Griesel testified, saying the House could be called back into session by either by proclamation of the governor or by a majority of members of the House. If the committee were to adopt articles of impeachment to present for consideration in the House, steps would have to be taken such as publication of notice in newspapers giving the particulars of a special convening of the Legislature, Griesel said.

There is a record of how the Legislature has handled such matters, Griesel said, in the 1917 impeachment of Gov. James A. Ferguson and in the 1975-76 impeachment of state District Judge O.P. Carrillo.

But there is no record of an impeachment of an appointed state official. Hall was appointed a six-year term as a UT regent by Gov. Rick Perry in 2011.

Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

HGTV comes to town Auctions and filming for new series during June

By Natalie geNtry Home & Garden Television (HGTV) is visiting these parts.

The national network is filming a new series in the surrounding area that will feature three teams of Texas house movers who not only pick up and move houses, but completely renovate them then auction them off.

A statement from the auction flyer calls the show “a fun, fastpaced renovation series full of Texas charm.”

The series is scheduled to air on the Do It Yourself Network as well as HGTV and Great American Country.

The finished homes will feature detailed designs and decorations.

The production is reaching out to artists and local shops around the DFW area to feature

art and furniture to be staged in the homes and filmed for the show.

“One major Azle group that we have worked with is Azle High School,” said Supervising Field Producer, Liz Buckley. “The AHS shop class has assisted our Azle-based house mover, Just Right Transportation, in building a decorative feature piece for one of the houses we are renovating as part of a class project.”

Four of the recently renovated houses were open for viewing by the public May 31 prior to the auction Saturday, June 7.

Ranging from a studio style cabin to three bedroom homes, the houses have been completely renovated and are decorated in varying styles.

HGTV notes the auctions are

a rare opportunity for the public to get a bargain on a renovated home that they can place on their own piece of land.

Auction dates are: Saturday, June 7 Saturday, June 14 Saturday, June 21 Saturday, June 28 Preview days are slated the day before each auction from 4-7 p.m.

Houses have been set up at 14400 FM 730 north of Azle.

Additional previews on the day of the auctions begin at 9 a.m.

The actual auctions begin at 1 p.m.

Free on-site parking is available on a first come, first served basis until the lot is full.

No parking is permitted on 730 North – vehicles will be HgtV construction workers erect a sign on FM 730. towed.
