Springtown victim of fake electrician scam speaks out Woman 2nd person in area to be swindled

by Natalie Gentry Another victim of purported con man, Gregory Long has come forward.

An unexpected visit A 79-year-old Springtown woman said that two men knocked on her door last month and one introduced himself as Gregory Long.

She said the men told her they worked for TXU and that there was a short in her wiring.

She allowed them into her attic where they supposedly found a piece of chewed wire and convinced her it was a fire hazard.

Long reportedly told the woman he made a repair, but later inspection revealed no evidence of that.

The woman said the men were fast talkers who put on a really good show and asked for $8,500 for their work.

She only gave them a $400 check that day.

A white Tri-County Electric work truck was totaled June 11 when a semi collided with it on Highway 199 west of Springtown.

Springtown ISD to see $500K bump from property taxes

by Natalie Gentry The Springtown Independent School District (SISD) board held a budget workshop Monday, June 16.

During the session, Chief Financial Officer Gary Shaw explained the $25.5

million recommended budget for the 2014-15 school year.

That figure included an estimated half-million dollar bump in property tax values which is an 8.5 percent increase.

The budget will also benefit from a

reinstatement of state monies taken in 2010-11.

Both Shaw and SISD superintendent, Mike Kelley emphasized that these future funds are not “new money.”

“This isn’t new money for the district,” Kelley said. “This is money that

the state took back in 2011.”

In addition the workshop covered expected expenses including maintenance, textbooks, and utilities.

The board also discussed modest payroll increases for district employees.

Assistant SISD Superintendent,

Mike Gilley reported that the district will be seeing an array of changing faces as employees retire, found new jobs, or changed professions.

There have been 42 changes due to these occurrences and there are still 19 positions to be filled in the SISD.

Thousands expected to visit Springtown over the weekend By mark k. campbell Expect local restaurants and gas stations to be busier than usual this weekend.

For the second year in a row, the Southwestern Association Junior Olympic Track & Field Championships has chosen Porcupine Stadium for its venue.

Stadium director Carl Hornback said he expects around 4,500 people to swell the town’s population – but not all at once.

He said many people will watch kids compete then leave.

“You might look in the stands and think there’s no way there’s 4,500 people there,” he said. “They will come and go.”

Hornback said early registrants totaled 1,700, already more than last year. He said he expected 2,000 children – ages 3 to 18 – to compete.

Hornback said he knows of three Springtown athletes who have entered the meet.

The town benefits with the influx of visitors spending money on local businesses.

At the track itself, SISD athletic booster clubs keep all the concessions – which could be substantial with temperatures expected to reach the mid90’s over the weekend.

Six other workers will assist Hornback with the timing and results.

Days before the arrival of the meet, he and assistants were setting up equipment – including finish line cameras – on the oval.

The visiting organization will provide all other necessary officials, Hornback said.

Athletes who are successful in Springtown – the event here is a regional qualifier – will advance to the Junior Olympic regional meet in San Marcos.

By Natalie Gentry The City of Springtown experienced a water main break June 15.

The rupture in the line between Springtown and Azle was detected Sunday and was located and repaired on Monday, June 16.

The deep break occurred between 25 to 35 feet below the ground, so equipment had to be brought in from Fort Worth to make the repairs.

Although the fix has been made, customers were under boil water notice until approximately 12:30 p.m.

Wednesday, June 18.

The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) required the city’s public water system to notify all customers to boil their water prior to consumption.

In order to comply with this edict the city posted the notice on the official web site; contacted news channels Fox 4, NBC 5, WFAA Channel 8; and CBS 11; and sent out a public safety communication via their “Reverse 911” system.

This call system uses a database of telephone numbers and associated addresses, which can be used to deliver recorded emergency notifications to a selected set of subscribers.

To ensure receipt of calls via “Reverse 911,” customers within the city limits should make sure they keep their phone numbers updates in their utility bills.

If you have questions regarding the leak or Reverse 911, contact City Hall at 817-220-4834.

Orms graduates HPU with honors

By Natalie Gentry Mallory Laurette Orms – daughter of Mary and Bryan Orms of Springtown – was one of 142 students who graduated at the Howard Payne University commencement held at the close of the spring 2014 semester.

Orms graduated magna cum laude with her Bachelor of Science in Exercise and Sport Science (coaching).

Students must have an over-

all 3.70-3.84 GPA to graduate Magna Cum Laude.

In addition Orms was named to the President’s List for the Spring 2014 semester.

To be named to this elite rosters, students must earn a 4.0 grade point average for all courses attempted while earning not less than 12 semester hours of academic coursework.

Founded in 1889, Howard Payne University is a Christcentered academic community.

An all too familiar story.

This scenario is almost indistinguishable from stories in other towns throughout North Texas including Azle, Garland, and Abilene.

According to the Parker County Sheriff’s Office, Long and his accomplice are believed to have stolen nearly $10,000 from an 89-year-old Azle wom-

an a day after the Springtown incident.

The men again pretended to work for an electric company, mentioned chewed wiring, and pressed the victim to give them a check.

“Within minutes, they’ll be at the bank to cash that check and then they’re gone,” Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said.

Authorities are not sure if Gregory Long is the suspect’s

real name.

He has a driver’s license, but also has been known to use aliases like Danny and Jackson.

Long is described as being in his 40’s, 6-feet tall, weighing about 180 pounds with dark blond or strawberry hair.

The victim in the Springtown incident recognized the driver’s license photo, but said the person who identified himself as Long at her house was the other man.

Anyone with information of the identification or location of the suspects is urged to contact the Sheriff’s Office immediately at (817) 594-8845, or the Parker County Crime Stoppers Hotline at (817) 599-5555.

You may remain anonymous when calling Crime Stoppers and could receive up to a $1,000 reward for information leading to the arrest or indictment of the suspects involved.

Neighbor to Neighbors gets donation Springtown charity Neighbor to Neighbors accepted a $3,610 check from Enbridge NTX. The funds came from the company’s annual employee golf tournament.

Enbridge NTX West district Operations Senior Manager Danny Bull said, “In the areas where we have business interests, we try to support the communities.”

The donation is especially helpful now because cupboards tend to run low during summertime.

N2N serves around 400 families throughout each year.

With school out, local families often turn to N2N for help.

To help N2N serve others, donate food, clothing, or money to 413 South Main Street or mail to P.O. Box 1391, Springtown, 76082.

N2N can be found on Facebook and also on the web at 2n2ntx@version.net.

TEXAS COMMISSION ON ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY NOTICE OF APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION FOR TPDES PERMIT FOR MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER RENEWAL PERMIT NO. WQ0014163001 APPLICATION AND PRELIMINARY DECISION. Ranch Utilities, L.P., P.O. Box 409, Tomball, Texas 77377-0409, has applied to the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) for a renewal of TPDES Permit No. WQ014163001, which authorizes the discharge of treated domestic wastewater at a daily average flow not to exceed 150,000 gallons per day. TCEQ received this application on November 4, 2013.

The facility is located approximately 1,700 feet south-southwest of the Brazos River bridge crossing on Farm-to-Market Road 1189 in Parker County, Texas 76462. The treated effluent is discharged to a series of impoundments on an unnamed tributary; thence to Brazos River Below Possum Kingdom Lake in Segment No. 1206 of the Brazos River Basin. The unclassified receiving water use is limited aquatic life use for unnamed tributary. The designated uses for Segment No. 1206 are high aquatic life use and primary contact recreation. All determinations are preliminary and subject to additional review and/ or revisions.

The TCEQ Executive Director has completed the technical review of the application and prepared a draft permit. The draft permit, if approved, would establish the conditions under which the facility must operate. The Executive Director has made a preliminary decision that this permit, if issued, meets all statutory and regulatory requirements. The permit application, Executive Director’s preliminary decision, and draft permit are available for viewing and copying at the Weatherford Public Library, Information Desk, 1014 Charles Street, Weatherford, Texas. This link to an electronic map of the site or facility’s general location is provided as a public courtesy and not part of the application or notice. For exact location, refer to application. http://www.tceq.texas. gov/assets/public/hb610/index.html?lat=32.607973&lng=-97.927282&zoom=13&type=r PUBLIC COMMENT / PUBLIC MEETING. You may submit public comments or request a public meeting about this application. The purpose of a public meeting is to provide the opportunity to submit comments or to ask questions about the application. TCEQ holds a public meeting if the Executive Director determines that there is a significant degree of public interest in the application or if requested by a local legislator. A public meeting is not a contested case hearing.

OPPORTUNITY OF A CONTESTED CASE HEARING. After the deadline for submitting public comments, the Executive Director will consider all timely comments and prepare a response to all relevant and material, or significant public comments. Unless the application is directly referred for a contested case hearing, the response to comments will be mailed to everyone who submitted public comments and to those persons who are on the mailing list for this application. If comments are received, the mailing will also provide instructions for requesting a contested case hearing or reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision. A contested case hearing is a legal proceeding similar to a civil trial in a state district court.

TO REQUEST A CONTESTED CASE HEARING, YOU MUST INCLUDE THE FOLLOWING ITEMS IN YOUR REQUEST: your name; address; phone number; applicant’s name and permit number; the location and distance of your property/activities relative to the facility; a specific description of how you would be adversely affected by the facility in a way not common to the general public; and the statement “[I/ we] request a contested case hearing.” If the request for contested case hearing is filed on behalf of a group or association, the request must designate the group’s representative for receiving future correspondence; identify an individual member of the group who would be adversely affected by the proposed facility or activity; provide the information discussed above regarding the affected member’s location and distance from the facility or activity; explain how and why the member would be affected; and explain how the interests the group seeks to protect are germane to the group’s purpose.

Following the close of all applicable comment and request periods, the Excutive Director will forward the application and any requests for reconsideration or for a contested case hearing to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.

The Commission will only grant a contested case hearing on disputed issues of fact that are relevant and material to the Commission’s decision on the application. Further, the Commission will only grant a hearing on issues that were raised in timely filed comments that were not subsequently withdrawn.

TCEQ may act on an application to renew a permit for discharge of wastewater without providing an opportunity for a contested case hearing if certain criteria are met.

EXCUTIVE DIRECTOR ACTION. The Executive Director may issue final approval of the application unless a timely contested case hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed. If a timely hearing request or request for reconsideration is filed, the Executive Director will not issue final approval of the permit and will forward the application and request to the TCEQ Commissioners for their consideration at a scheduled Commission meeting.

MAILING LIST. If you submit public comments, a request for a contested case hearing or a reconsideration of the Executive Director’s decision, you will be added to the mailing list for this specific application to receive future public notices mailed by the Office of the Chief Clerk. In addition, you may request to be placed on: (1) the permanent mailing list for a specific applicant name and permit number; and/or (2) the mailing list for a specific county. If you wish to be placed on the permanent and/or the county mailing list, clearly specify which list(s) and send your request to TCEQ Office of the Chief Clerk at the address below.

All written public comments and public meeting requests must be submitted to the Office of the Chief Clerk, MC 105, Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, P.O. Box 13087, Austin, TX 78711-3087 or electronically at www.tceq.texas.gov/about/comments.html within 30 days from the date of newspaper publication of this notice.

Si desea información en Español, puede llamar al 1-800-687-4040. General information about the TCEQ can be found at our web site at www.TCEQ.texas.gov.

Silver Creek bridge closing Carla Noah stutsman Regardless of whether you’ve lived “in these here parts” your whole life or if you’re one who just got here as quickly as you could, you’ve probably traveled some back roads to avoid the treacherous Fort Worth traffic.

Or maybe you just prefer to drive off the beaten path for the prettier scenery.

One of the most scenic routes to get to the southern end of Lake Worth – the White Settlement area, where major employers such as Lockheed Martin and NAS Fort Worth JRB are located – is via Silver Creek Road.

But that route will become unavailable late this fall so the bridge that actually crosses Silver Creek can be replaced, according to Val Lopez, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT).

While the bridge is still considered safe for motorists, Lopez said it has been declared

structurally deficient by his agency and as such, will be replaced at an estimated cost of $1 million.

Bridges that are deemed structurally deficient simply require more monitoring, inspections, and maintenance but remain safe for travel, Lopez stressed.

“We have found that the quickest, easiest way to accomplish bridge replacements such as this one is to close it down, demolish, and rebuild it,” Lopez said “This causes the least impact to the motorists who use that route.”

Lopez said his agency has already reached out to fire, emergency medical, and law enforcement agencies including Azle, Lake Worth, and Fort Worth to advise them of the upcoming road closure.

Although homeowners may have to alter their usual routes depending upon which side of the bridge they are located,

p o h S

they will continue to have access to their homes.

Through traffic, however, will be detoured to one of two alternate routes, depending upon their destinations.

One alternate route will be from Confederate Park Road (aka FM 1886) north to SH 199, then east to Loop 820.

The second alternate route will be west on Confederate Park Road to Cattlebaron Drive, then south on Cattlebaron to White Settlement Road, and finally east on White Settlement Road to Loop 820, Lopez said.

TxDOT plans to let for bidding this fall. Once those bids come in, a contractor will be selected.

Six to eight weeks later, after the contractor has gathered personnel and materials, construction will begin, according to Lopez.

That makes for a “late fall” time frame for shutting the

o n T he

bridge down.

A second bridge along the same route that crosses Live Oak Creek, south of Silver Creek, has also been determined to be structurally deficient. However, that bridge is currently going through a federally-mandated environmental

The Gem is family and Christ centered Community Center is a place for exercise, camps, and parties The Gem is the Springtown/Azle area's best kept secret. Aptly named, the inconspicuously-marked metal building appears from Highway 199 to be a warehouse but is, in fact, a thriving, family-friendly recreation center which is truly a hidden treasure waiting to be discovered.

The Gem opened almost five years ago but is only now reaching its full potential. Under new management since November and undergoing major renovations of building and staff, the environment is welcoming and comfortable while challenging all who enter to push the limits of body, mind, and soul through programming addressing all three facets of life.

The Gem is owned by a church and run by a missionary who has made the goal of this non-profit organization to glorify Jesus Christ in everything they do. Your membership – which is never a contract but a month-to-month agreement – partially funds lowcost options to families in need, keeping people healthy and out of the doctor's office, and giving your kids and their peers an alternative to video games and even drugs.

Take advantage of their one-day, free trial to find out how The Gem can bless your life and how together, you and The Gem can bless the community.

You can find them on Facebook or on their website, www.thegem.cc.

When it comes to fitness, personal trainers are available for one-half hour

sessions for $25; sessions may be shared by two persons.

Classes offered include water aerobics, Zumba, toning and chair yoga, and other aerobic classes including RetroFit and Yahwave, a dance fitness class inspired by Christian music. A Zumba instructor founded Yahwave, combining the fun and energy of Zumba with a positive message.

A variety of monthly fees begin at $40 with differing costs for single parents, families, and senior couples. All fees include access to the fitness center, swimming pool, gym, group classes, and child care.

Specials are offered regularly on Facebook.

Puppy thrown from vehicle Marquael Odoric Greer, 32, was arrested for animal cruelty charges June 6 for allegedly throwing his girlfriend’s six-month-old Chihuahua out of a moving vehicle in Parker County on Interstate 20.

Officers of the Parker County Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team Unit (FAST) contacted Dallas authorities the evening of June 3 about Greer.

A Tarrant County Constable reported the incident to Sheriff’s deputies just before 7 a.m., after a female assault victim reported the incident.

Sheriff’s reports indicate that Greer – of Lancaster – was engaged in a verbal dispute with his girlfriend, Shaquitha Pratt, 33, of Ferris, while traveling eastbound on Interstate 20.

Pratt, a passenger in the vehicle, was holding the 6-weekold, white, male Chihuahua mix-breed puppy in her lap at the time of the argument.

Pratt reported to Tarrant County deputies that the puppy was killed by Greer while traveling in Parker County near the 423 mile marker post.

Pratt said she and Greer argued while he traveled at a high

Pratt also reported to Tarrant County deputies that Greer then physically assaulted her and kicked her and another male passenger out of the vehicle.

Pratt was reportedly taken to a Fort Worth hospital, where she was treated for injuries sustained during the assault which is being investigated by Tarrant County authorities.

Deputies arrived on scene and observed the deceased puppy near the shoulder of the Interstate.

suspect Tuesday evening, who was later taken into custody by Dallas authorities on the felony cruelty to non-livestock animals, torture charge.

As of June 18, Greer remained in custody at the Dallas County Jail.

Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said the puppy’s death is the latest incident proving that, as he has said before, “Parker County does not have an animal problem. We have a people problem.”

SHS still on the hunt for a 7-on-7 state berth

Porcupines winning but just missing the cut by mark k. campbell The Springtown 7-on-7 varsity is playing exceptional football on steaming gridirons – just not quite good enough to reach the next level, however.

New head football coach Brian Hulett said SHS has posted a 13-5 mark in league and tournament play.

He said he watched Porcupines walk off the June 7 Celina tournament field “disappointed” – which is just what he said he wanted to see.

“They were disappointed they didn’t win it,” Hulett said.

“And we want them disappointed because we want them to want to win.”

At Celina, coach Stryker Strickland said, “Things went well. We just caught some bad breaks and are a young squad – or shall I say we have a lot of quality players learning new positions, a new defensive scheme, and a new offense?”

The only team that beat SHS in the tourney was Melissa, a perennial 7-on-7 state contender; Melissa won the Celina event. Stephenville got the other state berth.

Dillon Springfield is in the running to quarterback the Next up is a tournament in The Springtown 7-on-7 varsity just missed out on a state berth in Celina, losing only Porcupines this fall.

Global warming horror: Sharknado vs. Bearicane

L

ikely, as you read this, I am frolicking on the Texas coast.

Or battling for my very life.

Perhaps you’ve heard about the event that has sent shock waves among Loch Ness monster fans and other devotees of mysterious denizens of the deep.

In Australia, a giant nine-foot long great white shark was tagged for observation of its aquatic life.

However, the shark’s monitoring device washed up on a beach. When the information was accessed, scientists were shocked.

The tracking data showed the shark had been apprehended at 1,900 feet and eaten!

What could consume such a gigan-

tic creature? A bona fide sea monster?

Aliens? Kraken? Godzilla?

These are not the sorts of questions you want to ponder while swimming in the Gulf waves.

There’s a terrible confluence of events that makes me wonder about getting into the ocean right now.

1. I will be in the same salty sea where the monster lives.

However, I saw Sharknado on the SyFy Channel and that movie proved that water is no longer a deterrent for a shark to kill you. If you’re on the coast and see a water spout filled with sharks coming at you, what do you do? This sounds like the worst climate change scenario possible, unless you must face a Bearicane, a storm packed with whirling polar bears upset that their icy world is melting.

2. A TV special about the shark death by the Smithsonian Channel, Hunt for the Super Predator, debuts June 25 – my birthday.

3. A shark attack ON YOUR curred earlyocin MARK the month off coast near Mark K. Campbell the Galveston.

4. I did not learn how to swim until I was 13, so I’m not of Olympic caliber when it comes to moving through the water to flee from a super predator/gargantuan

sea monster.

5. You can’t see six inches into the water off the Texas coast; who knows what’s lurking nearby?

6. Sharknado 2: The Second One will soon be released.

Maybe I should’ve stayed home.

However, I’ve always had a premonition that a bear, not shark, would somehow be involved in my demise.

The real predicament, of course, would be if a Sharknado and a Bearicane converged.

A while ago, I researched methods of battling sharks and bears. The Internet, which would not lie, said the best way to fend off these killing machines is to poke sharks in the eyes and play dead around bears. (Don’t get that backwards.)

Clearly, if the Sharknado and Beari-

cane merge, you’ll have to be mighty agile to poke and fake as the critters swirl around you.

Still, I will fight madly because my beloved grandchildren will be about.

Plus, that condo cost so friggin’ much that I want to wring every second out of it.

If this is the last On Your Mark ever, so be it. Perhaps I’ll run into the Super Predator. I can’t hold my breath long enough to touch the bottom of a swimming pool, so surviving 1,900 feet is out of the question.

Yet, it’d be my luck to escape the Sharknado/Bearicane only to surface and discover a massive wave bearing down on me – the dreaded Snakenami.

Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and isn’t crazy about the idea of giant jellyfish, either.

Letter to the Editor Bergdahl should not be hailed ‘hero’ Dear Editor: This continuing news item of the Bowe Bergdahl drama sure makes America look like a bad soap opera with our courageous commander-inchief Barrack Obama as the writer, producer, and director.

The world is the audience, and, believe me, they are laughing at us for the fools Mr. Obama has cast us to be.

The fine men and women who serve in the Armed Forces for us are the president’s props.

Case in point: When competent investigative agencies had already looked into and properly investigated

the circumstances behind the disappearance of Bergdahl in 2009, the report was substantiated and concluded that the soldier was a deserter – and perhaps even a collaborator with the enemy we are fighting in Afghanistan.

When Bergdahl was repatriated by the enemy, Mr. Obama exchanged five of the most horrific monsters right out of hell – for which your hometown might be their next target.

Mr. Obama and his White House team had to take a victory lap in convincing America what a “hero” Bergdahl was and that “he served with honor and distinction.”

Then, as if it couldn’t get worse, America learned that Bergdahl had been promoted from corporal to sergeant in the interim of his captivity and post-investigation and status as a

deserter.

Coupled that, Bergdahl’s own team members refuted Mr. Obama’s claims; he certainly did not serve with honor and was by no means a hero!

Of course, these empty suits who work in the White House and are Mr. Obama’s lap dogs – and have never served a day in the military – tried to paint these real heroes as liars and malcontents, trying to keep the public’s eye off the ball as Mr. Obama’s ruse was falling apart.

The epilogue of this soap opera: Could this be Mr. Obama, in a ‘70’s Kumbaya moment of dovetailing another incompetent president – Jimmy Carter, pardoning draft dodgers only this time with deserters?

Mary Ramsey Bledsoe: A bold pioneer woman

I

n 1760 Anthony Bledsoe married Mary Ramsey, of Augusta County, and soon afterwards removed to his new home on the frontier. The exact location of his settlement is in doubt.

He located 700 acres of land on the waters of the Holston River, where he built his fort, about thirty miles east from Long Island, on the Fort Chiswell road, near the line of Virginia. During the pioneer period all the settlers located contiguous to the larger water courses, and it is probable that Anthony Bledsoe was not an exception to that rule.

Mary Ramsey was born in Augusta County, Virginia, in 1734. She was a daughter of Thomas Ramsey, who removed from the eastern section of the State at an early date and settled on the extreme frontier, where he became prominent. Several members of her family are mentioned in the early an-

nals of Virginia, and during the Revolutionary war.

Mary Ramsey then became the mother of Anthony’s five sons and six daughters, one of whom was born four months after the death of her husband.

The first chapter of Pioneer Women of the West is devoted to Mrs. Bledsoe, but it gives only small space to her personal history.

It says: “She was a woman of remarkable energy, and was noted for her independence of thought and action.

She never hesitated to expose herself to danger whenever she thought it her duty to brave it; she was foremost in urging her husband and friends to go forth and meet the foe, instead of striving to detain them for the protection of her own household. Mary Bledsoe was almost the only instructor of her children, the family being left to her sole charge while her husband was engaged in his toilsome duties, or ha-

rassed with the cares incident to an uninterrupted border warfare.

“In person she was attractive, being neither large nor tall until adHISTORICAL vanced in Her hair HIGHLIGHTS life. was brown, eyes Laurie Moseley her gray, and her complexion fair. Her useful life was closed in the autumn of 1808. The record of her worth, and what she did and suffered may win little attention from the careless many, who regard not the memory of our pilgrim mothers; but the recol-

lection of her gentle virtues has not yet faded from the hearts of her descendants; and those to whom they tell the story of her life will acknowledge her the worthy companion of those noble men to whom belongs the praise of having originated a new colony and built up a goodly state in the bosom of the forest.”

Mrs. Bledsoe's brother, Josiah Ramsey, was captured by the Indians when a child, being returned to the settlements after Boquet's treaty in 1764.

He was in battle of Point Pleasant.

He was a scout in the Cherokee campaign of 1776; and in 1780 removed to Kentucky, the next year coming to the Cumberland settlement, where he was a major of militia. He died at an advanced age, at the home of his son in Missouri.

Other brothers of Mrs. Bledsoe, who came to Sumner County, were Henry Ramsey, the bravest of the brave, and

William, both of whom were killed by Indians.

Mrs. Bledsoe was 54 years of age when her husband was killed. Five years thereafter, when she was in her sixtieth year, she married Nathan Parker, an old man, a pioneer, and the father of several children, some of whose descendants are prominent citizens of this and other states. Among them are ex-Mayor James M. Head, of Nashville, and Hon. John H. DeWitt, a Nashville lawyer.

We should all be proud of our g-gg-g-g grandmothers. It would have been far easier for our pioneer mothers to have stayed on the east coast in safety, but they too built a new country.

Senate panel addresses slowness of VA care

O

n June 12, the state Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations met in Pasadena, Texas, to get input from military veterans in the wake of the records falsification scandal at U.S. Veterans Affairs-run facilities.

Also on June 12, Gov. Rick Perry recommended that slow service at VA facilities be remedied by allowing veterans to get health care needs met at non-VA facilities. Several health care provider groups responded, expressing interest in expanding health care options to veterans, the governor’s office stated.

Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, who chairs the Senate committee, has recommended the creation of a hotline “to help Texas veterans deal with long wait times and VA bureaucracy.”

After the hearing in Pasadena, Van de Putte stated, “While

our reality is that the VA is a federally run and funded agency that serves Texas residents, that does not mean that Texas cannot ensure our veterans are taken care of in the honorable way they deserve and have earned. Ultimately, Washington needs to fix the VA’s problems, but in the meantime, Texas will focus on the immediate crisis: Getting medical care to our heroes.”

EPA plan to be reviewed Federal carbon emissions rules proposed last month will be reviewed by the Texas House Committee on Environmental Regulation, Speaker Joe Straus said June 11.

The Obama administration’s plan, to be administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, would reduce greenhouse gas emissions nationally by 30 percent, as compared to 2005 levels, by 2030. Because individual states may have to reduce more than 30 percent in order for the country as a

whole to meet that threshold, Texas faces a reduction of 39 percent, Straus said.

“It’s important for legSTATE islators CAPITAL to underHIGHLIGHTS stand the Ed Sterling potential impact of this federal mandate, not only on the cost and availability of electricity, but also on the broader Texas economy,” Straus said. “The committee’s work will guide the House’s approach to this issue in next year’s legislative session and the seriousness of these proposed rules demands that we start working on that approach soon.”

“The House will work with a

range of stakeholders to make sure that Texas responds to these regulations in a prudent and responsible way,” Straus added.

Border aid is requested Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott on June 12 requested $30 million from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security “to deploy state resources to the Texas border immediately.”

“The request comes amid Border Patrol officers reporting a 92 percent spike in minors being apprehended at the border. The influx of child immigrants has so overwhelmed the U.S. Border Patrol that federal agents are devoting time and resources to the humanitarian aspects of the influx, and are not available to secure the border and successfully stop criminal activity,” Abbott stated in a news release.

A sentence in the letter explains: “The $30 million requested is only two percent of the amount of aid the President

is asking Congress to appropriate in temporary aid to deal with the consequences of the porous border.”

Drought status is renewed Gov. Perry on June 9 extended by 30 days the emergency disaster proclamation he initiated on July 5, 2011.

The proclamation certifies that exceptional drought conditions pose a threat of imminent disaster in 166 of the state’s 254 counties.

“All rules and regulations that may inhibit or prevent prompt response to this threat are suspended for the duration of the state of disaster,” as stated in the proclamation.

King addresses saltwater issues

T

exas State Representative Phil King said the Lone Star legislature has formed a “Joint Interim Committee to Study Water Desalination” and that he is a member of that committee.

“Our hearings begin this week,” he said.

He said that desalination has been a common topic in coastal areas of the state but has not been broached often in North Texas.

“Texas faces its fourth year of a drought and our reservoirs have been as low as 58 percent full, the lowest since 1967,” King said.

Texas’ population is expected to balloon from today’s 26.5 million to 46 million by 2060.

Texas voters approved Proposition 6 last November, a water bill that takes $2 billion from the “rainy-day fund” for water projects.

Eventually, over $27 billion will be generated by Prop 6 funds to direct toward water

woes. Still, King said there are great concerns about Lone Star water: “Texas must be aggressive in addressing our water needs for future generations.”

King said the new committee will address desalination not only of seawater but of “brackish groundwater and brackish surface water.”

The Texas Water Development Board says Texas currently has an estimated total municipal desalination of 123 million gallons daily, including 73 million in groundwater and 50 in brackish surface water.

The board report noted that industrial salination in Texas is estimated to be about 60 to 100 million gallons per day, mainly from power and semi-conductor industries.

The average cost to produce 1 acre-foot of desalinated water from brackish water ranges from $357 to $782.

For seawater the cost is from $800 to $1,400.

Phil King is the State Representative for House District 61.

Sex Tape arrives July 18, the who is pushing a drug called other curiously weak week of WhyPhy (WiFi).

Hill falls in with the brainy the summer.

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man hey-look-I’m-funny-becauseI’m-loud-and-wacky bit, Hill can cast off one-liners that zing.

Tatum has the dumb guy shtick down, too. His bumbling over the language – he confuses “carte blanche” with “Cate Blanchett” and “homophobe” with “homophone” – generates chuckles.

However, it’s two cast members with smaller roles that hit homers. The biggest laugh of the movie belongs to Ice Cube with his wild-eyed silent stare-of-death when he meets his daughter’s boyfriend. (The Movie Man won’t ruin it for you.) Spewing non-stop vulgarities, he’s a cussing machine and you can’t help but laugh at his disbelief at how Hill and Tatum constantly act like imbeciles.

The other standout is the roommate Bell. She recognizes that there is no way Hill is 19 years old, and she constantly unleashes a string of old man jokes whenever they are on the onscreen together. Even when they literally fight, she’s still flinging them at him. This is a classic case of someone stealing a movie.

After its pitiful start, the funny dialogue and jokes begin to hit. It’ll be even funnier for home viewing when captions will reveal a slew of under the breath utterances that weren’t discernible in theaters.

What doesn’t work (spoiler) As noted already, the first part of the movie is Neighbors bad – unfunny, toocool-for-school jokes that fall flat. There are a long series of stinkers that silenced the dying-to-laugh, twentysomething audience with the Movie Man. The “action” sequences are beyond dumb – especially an opening scene – and every shot of Tatum playing football (he just shows up and gets asked to join the college squad!) are amateurish. (Of course, that could be the intent of directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller [who made the often great The LEGO Movie (MM #1075, 7)], mocking TV conventions.) Still, it’s awkward.

Sometimes the crudeness is too much, simply lewd for lewdness’ sake. That happens with the scene with Riggle and Franco (and their return [very briefly] in the stinger).

Best scene (spoiler) Hill and Tatum accidently take mega doses of WhyPhy. Hill’s drug-fueled trip sends him to Hades where he’s not only burning and being tortured but Creed plays non-stop. Tatum is in a happy rainbowed The rating This is a hard R for language

The Bud Clark Cemetery Association dedicated a new fence and gate during a meeting June 7 attended by about 35 members of the association. Association members say Parker County Constable Precinct 1 Larry Nix as well as property owner Robert Landers were instrumental getting the fence replaced. A stone enclosure in the cemetery is thought to contain members of the Reynolds family dating to the 1850s; however the oldest marked headstone is dated 1870. The cemetery is located south of Sabathney Road near La Junta.

TERM Particle Barrier can be installed by Polyguard authorized pest management professionals on the outside perimeter of existing or new homes and schools, as well as in bath traps and wherever plumbing penetrations come through the slab.

No building should be built without this particle barrier, as it blocks most places where termites enter structures. TERM Particle Barrier should dramatically reduce the need for pesticides.

Developed over years of Texas A&M testing, Polyguard Products, of Ennis, Texas introduces TERM Particle Barrier, the first and only Texas termite treatment not classified as a pesticide.

EPA classifies the TERM Particle Barrier as a “device”. The concept is simple - quartz particles are carefully sorted and sized to an exact combination. Particles are too large for termites to move, and too small for them to crawl between. The particle barrier simply blocks entry, causing termites to forage elsewhere for food.

trol and Prevention District marked an 8.69 percent increase from June 2013 revenue of $30,036 with this month’s check for $32,646. However, the increase was not enough to bring the district even with its mid-2013 level of $195,510 – so far in 2014, the district has collected $194,464, 0.52 percent less than this time last year.

Azle’s Municipal Development District, which only began collecting a half-cent sales tax in areas that lie within Tarrant County late last year, received a June check for $31,001 and has collected $185,652 so far in 2014. No comparison can yet be made to a prior year.

The town of Lakeside continues to see huge increases compared with 2013. It received $11,320 in June, a 148.88 percent jump from the $4,548 it received in June 2013. The town has collected $92,758 during the first half of 2014, 149.64 percent more than its mid-year 2013 collections of $37,156.

One hundred percent of both the monthly and year-todate increases are easily explained by a 1 percent tax rate increase passed by voters last year. That measure doubled the town’s sales tax rate, but the Lakeside has consistently seen almost a 50 percent additional increase over 2013’s collections.

Parker County’s sales tax revenue in June is $582,145 or 11.36 percent more than June 2013 revenue of $522,726.
