Odor issue sound off on Aug. 13

Sound of Springtown

by cHrIS Agee Though the smell has since dissipated, locals will have an opportunity to voice their concerns about the sludge spread as fertilizer along J.E. Woody Road earlier this summer.

After receiving numerous complaints, county officials contacted the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality, which will host a stakeholders meeting Aug. 13 to discuss the issue.

State Rep. Phil King, R-Weatherford, initially contacted the commission and several other local leaders have advocated for Springtown residents.

Parker County Judge Mark Riley described touring the site of the foul biosolid application with Precinct 1 Commissioner George Conley, saying the two “witnessed this disgusting situation firsthand and we agree it needs to be stopped.”

Riley has previously criticized the method by which Fort Worthbased Renda Environmental spread the sewage, noting such products can be used effectively and inoffensively if processed properly.

After recognizing an Ellis County petition addressing similar concerns would not benefit residents outside of that county, Riley attended a TCEQ meeting in Austin and asked commission officials to extend their rule-making process statewide regarding the fertilizing method.

Conley explained he wants to make sure the malodorous mixture is not applied in Parker County again.

The TCEQ meeting will be held at the Springtown Senior Center, 1070 Main Street, at 7 p.m. Aug. 13.

Speakers are encouraged to prepare a succinct address as comments will likely be limited to three minutes per person.

Passenger recounts fatal crash Janet Leija’s fiance died shortly after single-vehicle rollover. by cHrIS Agee Springtown resident Janet Leija was able to walk away from a recent crash near the intersection of Jay Bird Lane and Knob Hill Road in Reno, though her fiance was ejected from the vehicle and died later the same day.

Leija hoped to add to initial reports and clarify certain aspects of the Reno Police Department’s crash report.

Thomas Bottge, 32, was on his way to work around 7:30 a.m. July 30, she said, when the vehicle ran off the

road and struck a culvert and flipped.

“He was driving, not wearing a seat belt,” Leija said.

She explained she was sleeping in the passenger’s seat just prior to the crash, though she doesn’t believe Bottge dozed off behind the wheel.

“He did not fall asleep driving in the eight years I’ve known him,” she said, though she confirmed first responders reported he told them at the scene he had been sleeping.

“I was asleep,” she said. “I don’t

know; I’ll never know.”

Though she suggested he might have swerved to avoid an oncoming car or some other obstacle, she noted she cannot recall any of the incident.

“I woke up in a bar ditch,” she explained. “When [the vehicle] stopped, he was not inside anymore.”

Bottge was ejected from the vehicle, though he remained responsive as of paramedics’ arrival.

New school year just around the corner

by cHrIS Agee The subject of two recent pursuits, a Springtown man was ultimately captured by Parker County Sheriff’s deputies in Azle.

Earlier last month, Azle police were unsuccessful in apprehending Jeremy Paul Schlaepfer, 36, of Springtown, who faced an outstanding felony burglary warrant.

The following day, deputies received information Schlaepfer was at a home in Springtown and members of the North Texas Fugitive Task Force established surveillance of the residence.

A female resident, Brandi White, and Schlaepfer exited the home and led authorities on a chase reaching speeds nearly twice the neighborhood’s 35 mile-per-hour speed limit.

With Schlaepfer in the passenger’s seat, authorities said White

While July began with moderate temperatures and above-average rainfall, August has ushered in more standard Texas summer conditions. Oppressive heat and a scarcity of rain left Walnut creek completely dry in some places. Springtown remained under a heat advisory as of Aug. 6 and temperatures soared above 106 degrees on the first day of the month, according to meteorological service Weather Underground.

First responders were dispatched to a fire in the 700 block of Highland road Aug. 2. Fire crews were able to douse the burning pile of debris before it could spread beyond its immediate surroundings. A nearby resident expressed concern for her neighbor’s horses, which she said would be threatened if the fire escaped the vicinity into nearby brush.

During the ensuing investigation, she reportedly told authorities Schlaepfer saw a surveillance vehicle outside before instructing her to leave the residence with him.

White further confirmed she was aware of Schlaepfer’s prior escape from police in Azle and indicated he had drugs and digital scales in his possession when he exited her vehicle.

After finding a substance believed to be

methamphetamine in her purse, authorities arrested White on charges of evading arrest or detention with a motor vehicle, hindering the apprehension of a known felon, and possession of a controlled substance.

Authorities continued pursuing Schlaepfer until he was finally apprehended July 30.

A Parker County Sheriff’s Office spokesperson indicated the department does not keep arrest reports but stated he was taken into custody around 4:30 p.m. near the in-

tersection of Farm-to-Market Road 1542 and State Highway 199 in Azle.

As of Aug. 5, Schlaepfer remained in Parker County jail facing several charges.

Bond was set at $20,000 for one count of burglary of a habitation and $10,000 for an off-bond charge of theft of property less than $1,500 with two or more previous convictions.

Bond was not set for two additional charges – theft of property between $1,500 and $20,000, and unauthorized use of a vehicle.

Bottge made a phone call from the scene, Leija said he did not have a phone with him at the time.

“Paramedics brought a pillow,” she recalled, and evaluated his condition. “That’s

when they told us he said he fell asleep.”

Bottge was initially transported to a nearby hospital, she said, and was subsequently airlifted to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth.

While prior reports showed Leija was also transported to the hospital from the

scene, she said Bottge’s employer drove her to JPS to see him.

Save on school supplies with sales tax holiday The annual chance to save some cash arrives Aug. 9-11.

Texas Comptroller Susan Combs said shoppers can save money on certain items priced under $100 during the state’s yearly sales tax holiday.

Some items that are exempt from tax during the period: most clothing, footwear, school supplies, and backpacks priced under $100.

Shoppers could save about $8 on every $100 they spend during the weekend.

Combs said. “The tax holiday applies to a variety of items ranging from pens to jeans to help shoppers around Texas save some of their hard earned money.”

Lists of apparel and school supplies that may be purchased tax-free can be found on the Comptroller’s website at www.Tex-

asTaxHoliday.org.

This year, shoppers will save an estimated $74.1 million in state and local sales taxes during the tax holiday.

The dates for the tax holiday weekend are established by the Legislature in the state tax code.

The sales tax holiday has been an annual event since 1999.

Deputies arrest suspicious shopper by chris agee A complainant in the 5000 block of State Highway 199 East in Springtown contacted the Parker County Sheriff’s Office Aug. 5 to report an individual carrying a radio and what appeared to be a handgun into a nearby convenience store.

The incident occurred around 11 a.m., according to county reports, and the caller was able to inform authorities the subject left the retailer and drove to a home on Spring Valley Court.

Deputies responded to the residence and made contact with the man, identified as 30-year-old Springtown resident Jose Cruz Andrade-Favela.

Reports indicate he told authorities the weapon and hand-held radio were in his vehicle.

He also indicated he carried the items into the store with him out of concern someone might steal them.

Upon further investigation, deputies determined the weapon was actually a BB gun; however, inspection of the radio revealed it was reported stolen from a county employee about four years ago.

Andrade-Favela, who reportedly told deputies he wanted to be a police officer, explained he bought the radio at a flea market.

Though he said he noticed markings

2013 Property Tax Rates in CITY OF SPRINGTOWN

This notice concerns 2013 property tax rates for the City of Springtown. It presents information about three tax rates. Last year’s tax rate is the actual rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year. This year’s effective tax rate would impose the same taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year’s rollback rate is the highest rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers can start tax rollback procedures. In each case, these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (total value of taxable property) with adjustments as required by state law. These rates are given per $100 of value.

Last year’s tax rate: Last year’s operating taxes $537,912 Last year’s debt taxes 330,108 Last year’s total taxes 868,020 Last year’s tax base 139,318,394 Last year’s total tax rate .623048 This year’s effective tax rate: Last year’s adjusted taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property) 862,903 / This year’s adjusted tax base (after subtracting value of new property) 141,935,134 = This year’s effective tax rate .6079557 This year’s rollback tax rate: Last year’s adjusted operating taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property & adjusting for any transferred function, tax increment financing, state criminal justice mandates, and/or enhanced indigent health care expenditures) 534,731 / This year’s adjusted tax base 141,935,134 = This year’s effective operating rate .6089326 X 1.08= this year’s maximum operating rate .6576472 + This year’s debt rate .3240315 = This year’s total rollback rate .9816787 Sales tax adjustment rate .2298679 = Rollback tax rate .7518108 Statements of Increase/Decrease If the City of Springtown adopts a 2013 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of $ .6079557 per $100 of value, taxes would increase compared to 2012 taxes by $3,597.

Multiple profane 9-1-1 calls leads to Springtown man’s arrest by chris agee A Springtown man called 9-1-1 multiple times Aug. 5, according to authorities, and attempted to engage dispatchers in a bizarre dialogue.

Leslie William Carr, 49, reportedly dialed the Parker County Sheriff’s Office emer-

gency line and quickly became verbally abusive.

Exhibiting signs of intoxication, county records indicate Carr shouted obscenities and became argumentative with dispatchers during the calls.

After his fourth call, deputies responded to his residence and

found him drinking beer and using his mobile phone to call dispatchers.

When authorities questioned him regarding the calls, he claimed to be a prisoner on parole from Alcatraz.

Carr received a verbal warning at the scene and deputies

left after he confirmed he understood their admonition.

Later the same day, after Carr reportedly made four additional non-emergency calls to county dispatchers, deputies again responded to his home, this time arresting him for making silent or abusive calls to 9-1-1.

Despite his liberal use of profanity, Carr reportedly managed to include his romantic side in the conversation, telling dispatchers he “needed someone to love.”

Carr, who has been arrested at least eight times for intoxication charges since 2010,

Optimists hear about SEF’s labors by mark k. campbell Springtown Optimists heard from one of their own Aug. 6, Andrea Hungerford.

The former Springtown ISD superintendent is currently the director of the Springtown Educational Foundation (SEF) – at least until October when she steps down.

Hungerford said SEF is a nonprofit group that distributes scholarships and awards to Springtown ISD students and teachers.

Funds are raised year round, she said. That includes a talent show, an annual golf tournament, and occasional one-offs like working concession stands and conducting tailgate parties.

Plus: “We got a lot of support from local businesses and school district vendors,” she said.

SISD employees can make payroll deductions. Much of that money goes toward scholarships for the children of district employees, she said.

SEF also oversees memorials and special scholarships like those of the Springtown Booster Club and the Steven Dauen- Andrea Hungerford, serving her second term as preshauer Scholarship. ident of the Springtown Educational Foundation, told To apply for SEF scholar- Optimists about the organization.

OPINION Thursday, August 8, 2013

www.springtown-epigraph.net

Goo goo goo joob! Hey, wait, I’m in a bag...

I

love the Beatles.

They did not bring about the end of the world as my Dad prophesied. Nor did Elvis – Presley or Costello. And neither did Blue Oyster Cult or Nine Inch Nails or Metallica.

And neither will hip-hop or that thump-thump electronic dance music or Christian industrial that screams a lot about Jesus – I think.

So, the world is pretty safe from music bringing about the apocalypse even though every generation is sure their generation’s parents were square/ jive/totes OMG-y because they said it would.

(FYI: growing up in the 1960’s and ‘70’s, certainly my generation’s music was the greatest. Just sayin’...)

And that’s why I devour everything Beatles. And it’s why, when Me & My

Monkey played at Central Park July 26, I was most excited to hear “Hey Bulldog” which the Arlington quartet did a great job on.

The Beatles’ hits were groovy through the years, and they got more and more adventurous. (I played the weird “Rain” a lot more than the hit on the other side of the 45, “Paperback Writer.” It had backward lyrics! That just blew my mind, man!)

And then there were the freak-outs on the album cuts...

No other group’s album release caused such anticipation. How could the Beatles possibly top Revolver?

Only with Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band.

You can make an argument for Pink Floyd’s follow-up to Dark Side of the Moon and Michael Jackson’s effort after Thriller (which were, respectively,

Wish Your Were Here and Bad).

However, the difference with the Beatles is that you never knew what was about to come out of those speakers on any album – an ear-splitting rocker like “Helter Skelter,” or a simple, lovely ballad like “Julia,” or something completely off the wall.

And that’s where “I Am the Walrus” comes in. John Lennon loved wordplay in books like Alice in Wonderland and took his Lewis Carroll devotion to a pad often. He penned his own nonsensical lyrics in “Walrus” like “crabalocker fishwife” and “sitting on a corn flake” and “I am the eggman” and “goo goo goo joob.”

It’s safe to say that no one saw those words coming when the needle first hit Magical Mystery Tour.

I must’ve listened to “Walrus” a thousand times (and that explains a

lot about me, my late dad would say if he wasn’t late).

I was looking at a Beatles history book the other day, one of those oversized tomes that details every day ON YOUR of their existence.

MARK Things had Mark K. Campbell imploded so badly for the Fab Four late in their union that soon they were going off in different directions on their own – often very queer directions.

I found this note in the book: The

New Cinema Club held an evening of John and Yoko’s films at the Institute of Contemporary Art, where a couple, that could have been John and Yoko, sat on stage inside a white bag during the show.

“Could have been”! This was so Beatles-y and John-y that I had to chuckle. No wonder our parents thought the country was going to Hades in a hand basket: wallowing around in a bag was art!

I wondered what you do inside a bag up on a stage: Wish you had worn shorts? Regret that Indian meal?

Come up with new lyrics for a song?

Maybe that’s a situation where “oompah, oompah, stick it in your jumper” really resonated.

Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and he can’t find his Rubber Soul CD for some reason.

On ‘tickle cheese,’ sippy cups, and fingerprints

L Move on to save Olympic wrestling

I

nternational organizations have not taken kindly to the Olympic committee pinning wrestling to the mat and excluding it from future worldwide gatherings of the earth’s greatest athletes.

The “global wrestling community” has launched #TakeAStance on social media sites.

FILA – the International Federation of Associated Wrestling Styles – is encouraging devotees of the sport to submit photos of themselves in “wrestling stances” to takeastancewrestling@ gmail.com.

From there, the pictures will be uploaded onto the FILA Facebook page.

Individuals are also invited to use their personal social media sites with the hashtag #TakeAStance. FILA will

retweet favorites.

Another newer social media outlet – Thunderclap – will be employed on Aug. 14. At noon EST, the app will allow for a unified message shared by multiple users: “Did you know YOU can help save Olympic wrestling?

Help me spread the word today.”

The #TakeAStance movement will run until the Olympic committee meets in its 125th session in Buenos Aires, Argentina in September.

Wrestling is an original Olympic sport, but the committee elected to stop it in a meeting in February.

However, wrestling – along with baseball/softball and squash – is vying for a single spot in the 2020 Games and the committee must agree with wrestling’s takedown attempt.

Have I mentioned that life is good?

When I reflect on the lives that have crossed my path, I can’t help but be thankful. There is much wrong with this broken, fallen world.

Shame on us when we can’t see what’s right with it – things like “tickle cheese,” sippy cups, and baby fingerprints.

Philippians 4:4-7 says, “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near.

Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.”

Our lives matter to God and He proves it all the time if we will just pay attention.

We also had some familiar smells in the house. I still remember how to change a diaper, but I didn’t feel the need to prove it.

“When Papa died Hassey had no shoes to wear to the funeral so Mama let her wear her shoes and she, herself, wrapped her feet in cloths and went to the funeral that way. I looked at her feet and wondered why she had her feet wrapped that way. Some woman who had plenty of money gave her money to buy her some shoes. At the funeral Mama lifted me up so I could see my father.

“Papa’s mother learned some way that he had $20 in gold. She told him to give her the money and she would keep it for his children. He gave it to her, but his children never saw it.

“I was at Mrs. Liza Hodge’s house and playing with Mrs. Hodge’s little brother. He took his cap off and put it on my head and kissed me. Mrs. Hodge saw him and laughed at him.

He said, ‘I don’t care, I’ll kiss her again, wouldn’t you, Billie?’ Billie was Mrs. Hodge’s husband. He said, ‘Yes, I would, Alvin, I’d kiss her again.’ But I don’t remember whether he did.

“I was always chattering when I was little. I talked and I talked all the time.

One day I was picking cotton along with Liza Hodge and Liza said, ‘Ida, I’ll give you a nickel if you will keep quiet and not talk for five minutes.’ I sat down on the ground and tried hard to keep quiet. It probably had not been more than a couple of minutes when I asked ‘Are the five minutes up?’ But I got the nickel anyway.”

Combs reports condition In a July 31 letter to the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker of the House and members of the Legislature, Comptroller Susan Combs reported the state’s oil and natural gas production taxes are performing better than expected this year.

Combs projected those taxes to generate an additional $900 million in fiscal 2013, one quarter of which is available for general purpose spending. And that amount is in addition to the $683.1 million available for general purpose spending and not appropriated in the 20142015 biennium.

The additional remaining $675 million of severance tax revenue available in the current year will be part of a $2.37 billion transfer into the Economic Stimulus (rainy day) Fund in November, Combs said.

A fertilizer plant in West exploded on April 17, causing the loss of 15 lives and widespread damage to buildings and infrastructure.

Gov. Perry, members of Congress and others appealed the EPA’s ruling.

Movie Man

Thursday, August 8, 2013

Buddy cop movie a gritty 1970’s genre throwback There are two great American actors – both equally on the highest rung. Sure, there are lots of others who are pretty good and are way up there, but alone at the top are Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington.

About the film Washington, like Hanks, seldom missteps when choosing roles. And both are multiple Oscar winners.

They have appeared together just once, Philadelphia (1993); Hanks won Best Actor for that one, and, a year later, again for Forrest Gump (1994, Movie Man No. 33, a ‘+’ in pre-numbering days, a 9 today, Best of Year).

Washington’s two biggest accolades (so far) are Academy Award-winning roles in Glory (1989, Supporting Actor) and Training Day (2001, Best Actor). He was royally gypped as Malcolm X (1992); up for Best Actor, he lost to Al Pacino in the meh Scent of a Woman.

You know an actor routinely makes good choices when it’s tough to name your favorite of his. Washington made a really good scary movie; it’s often the one that not many regular film fans have seen, Fallen (1998, MM #216, 6). It has a powerhouse ending.

(Others name the remake of The Manchurian Candidate remake (2004) or his other movie from that year, Man on Fire.

Strangely, as much as the Movie Man loves him some Denzel, he passed on both of those for The Village [MM #571, 7 – M. Night Shyamalan was still hot then] and 13 Going on 30 [MM #557, 3, Worst of Year – a very bad choice by the Movie Man that week].)

Of course, you can never go wrong with Glory.

Next up for the great Denzel is 2014’s movie update of a moderately successful TV series from 1985-89 about a retired CIA agent who helps clients “even the score,” The Equalizer. (In today’s techno-

world, you can now know that it will be released Sept. 26, 2014 [barring date juggling].)

And it’s likely that he will be in the remake of the Bill Cosby-Sidney Poitier movie Uptown Saturday Night where he might team with Will Smith who needs to put a universe between himself and After Earth.

And Hanks…this year, he’s in a TV Toy Story Halloween special as Woody, he plays Walt Disney in Saving Mr. Banks at Christmastime, and, before both of those, Hanks portrays Captain Phillips, helmer of a boat hijacked by Somali pirates (Oct. 11).

Our two greatest actors will continue to show up with regularity on our big screens, so we got that going for us.

The plot (it’s tricky) DEA agent Bobby (Washington) and Naval intelligence ace Stig (Mark Wahlberg) are after Mexican drug kingpin Papi (Edward James Olmos). Neither Washington nor Wahlberg know the other fellow is law enforcement.

The duo’s efforts are thwarted and their superiors – Deb (Paula Patton) and Quince (James Marsden) – are soon joined by the DEA, the Navy, Papi’s henchmen, and even the CIA (led by Earl, Fort Worth’s

ing. Also, much to PETA’s horror (and farmers everywhere), there’s a scene that really doesn’t work out well for four roosters – they’re chickens with their heads literally blown off. It’s rated correctly.

Local Army officer keeping Afghan streets safe Springtown native joined effort to protect major trade route by chris agee A group of soldiers stationed this summer in the Nangarhar Province of Afghanistan have been working toward the common goal of protecting the nation’s largest importing and exporting route from enemy attack.

U.S. Army 1st Sgt. Christopher Carey, a Springtown native, is a member of Security Forces Advisory and Assistance Team Archangel and has worked with Afghan National Security Forces to secure the busy Highway 7 corridor.

Responsible for two-thirds of the nation’s gross domestic product, the route is vital for the Afghan economy. For this reason, according to military sources, the highway is a potential target of enemy forces in the area.

The 129th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment reported an operation June 15 was coordinated

by Afghan forces and relied on U.S. soldiers for backup in searching for explosives along the route.

Carey said the inclusion of local military was imperative.

“The locals see the ANSF in the village and some of these villages they haven’t been in in a really long time,” he said, “so just their presence alone can equal mission success.”

The mission, called “Shaheen XI,” was the third such summer mission in the area and was deemed a success by all involved.

Carey and SFAAT Archangel commander U.S. Army Capt. Nicholas Drake were available to

offer guidance to Afghan National Army Lt. Col. Mohammad Bashir, though U.S. involvement was generally limited to spot checks along Highway 7.

When the thoroughfare was cleared, ANA forces then moved on to removing insurgents from the surrounding community.

Along with Bashir, U.S. troops remained a short distance from that action in a supervisory capacity.

In the end, the mission served to intimidate insurgents through a show of force.

Military sources explain the presence of a strong ANSF serves to undermine potential threats by enemy combatants.

Drake noted everyone was pleased with the mission’s result, though Afghan forces might have wished for a more substantial confiscation.

“The ANA like to see achieve- U.S. Army 1st Sgt.

Program gives young adults a second chance by chris agee A program open to young adults throughout Parker County provides resources and opportunities for those with a juvenile criminal record.

A U.S. Department of Labor grant of $1.5 million funds three years of the program, based locally at the Community Learning Center in Weatherford.

According to program manager Kathy Daniel, men and women between 18 and 21 years old who have been convicted in the juvenile justice system can take part in classes designed to teach them a trade.

In addition to a continued education, the program also provides the opportunity for internships and participants can

earn a stipend while enrolled.

Anyone convicted of a crime as an adult cannot participate, though those with a pending case or who have received deferred adjudication are not excluded.

The most popular course allows students to receive national certification in construction after completing between six and eight months of training.

Internships in other disciplines are also available.

Though there is no impending deadline to register, Daniel suggests interested individuals begin the process as soon as possible.

To learn more about the program, contact Connie Anderson at (817) 793-9554.

Rangers honor Bryan ■ raNgers, FROM PAGE 1B.

experience and extensive military service.

And Bryan saw plenty of conflict.

He served two tours of duty in Vietnam – one in the Army in 1967-78 and another as a Marine in 1971-72 – and also fought in Desert Storm in 1990-91 as a member of the Air Force.

Bryan worked on Air Force One for President George H. Bush into 1993.

Next, he served in the Navy on the USS Nashville and USS Mount Whitney in 197475.

Bryan capped his military career with two years as a state air national guardsman.

These accomplishments were heralded to the large crowd, then, when Bryan and wife Susan were shown on the giant screen, a long ovation ensued.

Another lengthy applause followed Bryan

and his wife out of the stadium when they exited in the eighth inning.

“It was a bit overwhelming when the crowd repeated the ovation while walking up the steps,” Bryan said. “This event is seared for good in our memory forever.”

It was a return to a professional stadium for Bryan; he was the batboy for the Cincinnati Reds from 1959-62.

In that era, stars like Frank Robinson and Vada Pinson played to great acclaim.

This time, the applause in a major league stadium was for Bryan.

above, hall of Famer Nolan ryan invited Joseph bryan to rangers ballpark in arlington July 29 to honor his long military service. Joseph bryan and wife, susan bask in lengthy applause (left) when the duo was broadcast on the giant screen during the Texas-california baseball game in arlington.
