TEA says SISD ‘met standards’ BY NATALIE GENTRY Springtown Independent School District (SISD) “met standards” as a district, according to accountability summaries released by the Texas Education Agency (TEA). In addition, two SISD campuses received distinction designations. Springtown High School received acknowledgement for “top 25 percent progress,” in English and Language Arts and Science. Additionally, Springtown Middle School earned designations in “top 25

percent progress” and “top 25 percent gap closure.” Out of eight specific areas in the community and stunt engagement section, the district was rated as “exemplary” or “recognized” in all but one area. This year, all SISD campuses earned the “met standards” rating in the academic accountability section. Four categories – called indexes – are utilized to calculate ratings: student achievement on standardized PLEASE SEE SISD, PAGE 4A.

Man gets 20 years for DWI; fled from SPD In a trial that concluded Aug. 11, a Parker County jury sentenced a Weatherford man, who fled from Springtown police, to a pair of 10-year prison sentences. Emmett Austin Shaw, 30, was intoxicated last September when he led officers on a high speed chase – at speeds over 120 miles per hour – that ended when he rear ended another car and caused serious injuries to that vehicle’s driver. A Springtown Police Department sergeant noticed Shaw passing a box truck on an unimproved shoulder of FM 51 in southern Springtown in the early evening hours on Sept. 6. This maneuver caused the truck to take evasive action to avoid a collision, according to Assistant District Attorney Jeff Swain, who tried the case for the prosecution with Assistant District Attorney Kathleen Catania. When the officer turned around to conduct a traffic stop, Shaw accelerated to over 120 mph as he headed Porcupines battle for the ball during two-a-days.

Aiding in the flight of the Monarchs Springtown begins looking at the possibility of a butterfly ‘waystation’ BY NATALIE GENTRY During its monthly meeting, the Springtown Beautification Committee discussed the possibility of adding a Monarch butterfly waystation to the area of Optimist Park where the creek is being widened. According to the U.S. Forest Service (USFS), waystations are gardens that provide the imperiled butterflies with resources necessary to sustain their multi-generational migration. Springtown City Administrator Doug Hughes said the idea is still in its initial stage. “There is a lot of homework the committee must do before they can commit to a project,” Hughes said. “Damon Liles will be speaking with the Parker County Master Gardeners and the Parker County Extension Agency to see if they can be of assistance with the project.” The two essential elements of a Monarch waystation are milkweed and water. The USFS urges gardeners to use native species as they are the plants monarchs have depended on for

years. “Native plants are adapted to your local environment and do not require the extra care that plants from faraway places require,” the USFS website states. They also provide an information sheet with suggested milkweed species for the region including Green Antelopehorn Milkweed, Antelopehorn Milkweed, and Zizotes Milkweed. “Flight of the Butterflies,” a website dedicated to the Monarch migration, says that these insects have been making this journey for thousands of years, and notes that Texas is the only state all migrating Monarchs must cross to reach their wintering sites. The site also notes that the number of butterflies is typically 12 times denser as they funnel through Texas than when they began their trip. This concentration of butterflies is why the migratory path through the Lone Star State is called the “Texas Texas is the only state that all Monarch butterflies pass through during migration. Plans are underway Funnel.” to create a “waystation” for the insects at the former Optimist Park. Photo by Paula Campbell

Officer training programs set

What a Cow-lision!

First aid, response, sensitivity BY NATALIE GENTRY With the ever-changing and hyper-publicized current climate requiring more diversified police training the Springtown Police Department (SPD) is preparing to ramp up education programs for its officers. Emergency response Training of the Springtown Emergency Response Team (SERT) began July 23 with an active shooter scenario at Springtown High School and Goshen Creek Elementary. However, SPD Chief Ed Crowdis emphasized that this team will be training to respond to all emergency situations. “SERT will be equipped to deal with a variety of scenarios, whether they are weather related, man-made disasters, or any kinds of major incidents,” Crowdis said. “Throughout September we will be training them on all types of situations, including a disaster at the gas plant to a tornadoes and flood. We want them to be able to handle any situation where we require specialized personnel for the protection of life or property.” The team consists of four officers selected for experience and their quick response time. Alternates will be selected and trained as well. First aid Upcoming training will include Self Aid, Buddy Aid (SABA) classes. This program will train officers to perform life-saving medical intervention in the line of duty. Officers will be able to deal with injuries for the critical first 5-15 minutes prior to medical personnel arriving. SABA is derived from battlefield first aid witch is taught in

all branches of the U.S. military and has been steadily integrated into law enforcement agency training in recent years. Other programs Administration at the SPD has also planned additional training for officers including sensitivity training. The goal is to broaden each officer's empathy with the public they protect and serve. In addition there will be a departmental meeting in the next couple of weeks to review the new policy manual. Crowdis noted that some policies have been updated such as the police pursuit policy. He said that SPD will pursue drivers who flee however he noted the need for officers to know how best to balance the need to apprehend offenders against the need to protect the general public. “We’re trying to keep the officers up to date on the changing climate,” Crowdis said. “This year is going to consist of a lot of training.” He also noted the need for training to be small town and rural oriented. “Training that would be appropriate in Dallas or Houston, wouldn’t necessarily be applicable here,” Crowdis said. “They are simply different environments.” Small departments such as Springtown have a lot of turnover which means that many of the officers are newer officer who don't have a lot of experience, a fact that makes ongoing training essential. “We are quite fortunate to have the number of experienced officers we have,” Crowdis said. “Anything that we can garner from that and pass on to the less experienced officers is always beneficial.”

Luke Dixon, 27, of Springtown (but originally from Kingston Upon Hull, England) says he never saw the large, black cow in the westbound lane of the 7500 block of West SH 199 near Ross Lane before striking it in a red Ford F250 pickup. The accident occurred about 11:45 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 11. Astoundingly, Dixon suffered no injuries in the crash, although the cow did not survive the impact. Dixon’s stepfather, Wes Johnson, said his family is grateful he was not injured and attributes that to the large vehicle Dixon was driving. “If he’d been in our car, things might be a lot different today,” Johnson said. He urged people to always be aware of the possibility of livestock and wild animals that frequently cross rural roadways. Photo courtesy Luke Dixon

Stadium complex lights repaired BY NATALIE GENTRY As the summer break draws to an end, Springtown Independent School District Athletic Facilities Director, Carl Hornback, and his department continue its preparation of the sports complex for the upcoming school year. The most recent project included the lights at the baseball and softball fields. “Some of the lights were pointing in the wrong direction,” Hornback While it might not have really been 113 degrees Aug.10, said. “Some were just pointing it was officially 106 degrees. See Pages 7A and 1B for straight at the ground. more stories about the heatwave. Photo by Mark K. Campbell “So the company that in-

stalled the lights to begin with sent a crew out to re-aim the lights, and re-tighten all bolts. Then they actually put safety nuts on every light.” While the crew was up there, the district had them replaced burned out lights. “This job was scheduled to be completed around the time softball and baseball were starting this past season, but – as we know – we got about three feet of rain in a month and getting big equipment out there became impossible,” Hornback said.

Local couple seriously injured in bike wreck

Local Folks Making Donations

Accident occurred north of Decatur on Farm Road 730 N

BY NATALIE GENTRY Randall and Danni Carwile, both 31, of Springtown were seriously injured Sunday, Aug. 9 when they laid their motorcycle over in an attempt to avoid colliding with barricades on Farm Road 730 north of Decatur. The Carwiles and two other motorcycles were traveling south on FM 730 at about 10:30 a.m. when they came over the hill at County Road 2175. According to Department of Public Safety (DPS) Trooper William Wallace the Carwiles topped the hill, encountered the barricades, and laid the bike down. “Their speed has yet to be determined,” Wallace said. The Carwiles were the third and last motorcycle in the group to crest the hill. Randy Finch, also of Springtown, was driving the first bike with his wife, Beth. He noted the detour signs were a surprise as they topped the hill.

“They need to move those to the other side of the hill,” Beth Finch said. “It’s behind the road where you turn.” The barricades are just south of the detour route on CR 2175. However, Trooper Wallace said there is a “road closed” sign north of CR 2175, although the Finches said they didn’t see it. Randy Finch said it was too Springtown Lions Club Pee Wee Cheer and Dance organized, collected, and donated 80 cases of ramen noodles late to turn when he finally saw and over 3,000 canned food items to the Neighbor 2 Neighbors food pantry. the barricades as they came over the hill. He was able to veer to the right and avoid hitting the barricades. Danny Finch – Randy’s brother and Danni Carwile’s father – was driving the second motorcycle. He too, ran off the road to avoid a collision. The couple was flown to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth with serious injuries. Neither wore helmets.

Obituaries Rodney Appell 1960-2015

Rodney Appell, 54, passed away unexpectedly at home watching an old western movie on August 6, 2015. Services were held at 10 a.m. Tuesday, August 11, 2015 at Opal Cemetery behind Rodney’s house. Visitation was held 7-9 p.m. Monday at White’s Funeral Home, Springtown. Since he thought flowers were foolish, donations to your local food bank or a tree planted in a hayfield would be appreciated as a memorial. Rodney was born to the late Roger Appell and Dorothy Appell of Altona, Illinois in 1960. He learned early about “farmer chit-chat”. After graduating ROVA High School in Illinois, he headed south to home in Texas and married Beverly. They had Rodney’s first daughter, Maddelon. She was the Appell of his eye having lots of fun fighting their stubborn horse “Pebbles” at the King B Saddle Club. For 13 years Rodney held his dream job of Ranch Foreman at the Leonard’s Haywire

Ranch in Fort Worth. He also graduated from Oklahoma Horseshoeing School. Not a day went by without Rodney sharing a cup of coffee (never Starbucks) with the boys at the FM Express or a beer at the Turkey Mountain Feed Store. Having become a “master metal building builder” with his buddy, Joe, he expanded into hay farming when he started Panorama Enterprises with his forever love, Maureen, in 2000. They married that year in a helluva rain storm at the Haywire Ranch. Soon thereafter they had three kids in ﬁve years and moved to Boyd. All along taking Maureen’s son, Dakota, under his wing and being his true father, “Yes, Drill Sargent Rodney, Sir.” Rodney became the “go to” guy for numerous folks whenever they needed any ranch related help or advice. Rodney was exceptionally honest. He was always willing to jump in to solve problems (unless you’re in Dallas). He loved his tools, trucks, tractors, guns, poker nights, and motorcycle rides. Most of all he loved playing with and “pestering” his kids. Survivors include wife, Maureen; daughters, Maddelon and Cheyenne; sons, Dylon and Seth; step-son, Dakota Marker; grandson, Marshall Bransom; mother, Dorothy Appell; brothers, Dennis and Derrick; several nieces and a nephew.

Richard Beeman 1948-2015

Richard Beeman, 66, passed away Wednesday, August 5, 2015. Services were held 10 a.m. Tuesday at Springtown Baptist Temple. Burial was at Annis Chapel Cemetery. Visitation was 6-8 p.m. Monday at White’s Funeral Home. Richard was born Dec. 3, 1948 in Cheektowaga, New York. He

was a Marine who fought in the Vietnam War, earning 5 metals. Richard retired from General Motors after 30 years. He was an incredibly proud grandfather who loved his grandchildren and spoiled them rotten. Richard enjoyed golﬁng, ﬁshing, camping, and sports. He liked to gamble and passed his card skills down to his children. Richard is preceded in death by his parents; brother, Bobby; and grandchild, Madden. Survivors include his loving wife of 26 years, Lora Beeman; children, Donald Beeman and wife, Stephanie, David Headley and wife, Amber, Carrie Headley and husband, Keith; and grandchildren, Morgan, Gavyn, David James, Corbin, Ally, and Conner.

Notice of Public Hearing on Tax Increase The City of Springtown will hold two public hearings on a proposal to increase total tax revenues from properties on the tax roll in the preceding tax year by 6.65 percent (percentage by which proposed tax rate exceeds lower of rollback tax rate or effective tax rate calculated under Chapter 26, Tax Code.) Your individual taxes may increase at a greater or lesser rate, or even decrease, depending on the change in the taxable value of your property in relation to the change in taxable value of all other property and the tax rate that is adopted. The first public hearing will be held on Thursday, August 27, 2015, 6:30 pm at 102 E. Second St., Springtown. The second public hearing will be held on Thursday, September 3, 2015, 6:30 pm at 102 E. Second St., Springtown. The members of the governing body voted on the proposal to consider the tax increase as follows: FOR: Annette Burk, Denise Taylor, Tony D. Smith, Robert E. Wilson, Greg Hood AGAINST: none PRESENT and not voting: Tom W. Clayton, Mayor ABSENT: none The average taxable value of a residence homestead in Springtown last year was $88,492. Based on last year’s tax rate of $.62511019 per $100 of taxable value, the amount of taxes imposed last year on the average homestead was $553.17. The average taxable value of a residence homestead in Springtown this year is $98,290. If the governing body adopts the effective rate for this year of $.57471191 per $100 of taxable value, the amount of taxes imposed this year on the average home would be $564.88. If the governing body adopts the proposed tax rate of $.61293025 per $100 of taxable value, the amount of taxes imposed this year on the average home would be $602.45. Members of the public are encouraged to attend the hearings and express their views.

2015 Property Tax Rates in PARKER COUNTY EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT #1 This notice concerns 2015 property tax rates for the Parker County Emergency Services District#1. 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 Last year’s debt taxes Last year’s total taxes Last year’s tax base Last year’s total tax rate This year’s effective tax rate: Last year’s adjusted taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property) / This year’s adjusted tax base (after subtracting value of new & annexed property) = This year’s effective tax rate 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) / This year’s adjusted tax base = This year’s effective operating rate X 1.08= this year’s maximum operating rate + This year’s debt rate = This year’s total rollback rate

Missing all that rain from a few months back yet?

emember that time it rained a lot? Two months ago? Just a little while back, it would not stop raining, and we begged

it to stop. Well, it’s stopped. Now, after already receiving more rain by July than we usually get in an entire year, we are setting records on the other end of the spectrum. The precipitation has, well, dried up. It last rained – officially at DFW Airport – July 8; that’s 35 days as of

Wednesday Aug. 12 and counting. This stretch of dry days is the eighth longest in local weather history. In fact, it’s been so dry since some roads got washed away in the early summer that drought notifications are being issued again; some areas around here are “abnormally dry,” the first notch on the drought monitor rankings. Almost no rain is forecast for the next two months – traditionally the driest on the calendar anyway. Like with most records, there is more than one way to land on an extreme list.

The National Weather Service Dallas/ Fort Worth record-book has categories for “consecutive days without measurable precipitation” and “consecutive days withON YOUR out any precipMARK itation.” There’s quite Mark K. Campbell

a difference. On the former list where enough stray drops might’ve fallen to create a “trace,” the longest stretch we’ve ever gone without measurable precipitation is 84 days – from July 1 to Sept. 22, 2000. We’re a long way from that right now. However, this current streak of 34 days is already racing up the no rain at all chart; it’s at No. 6 – tied with July 11-Aug 12, 1999. A chance for an isolated storm on Tuesday, Aug 11 did not materialize. So, with no other rain on the horizon

into next week, this current stretch will continue to move up the standings. Next up is 39 days (in 1917 and 1993) then 40 (in 1903 [from Nov. 1 to Dec. 10, curiously]). The latter will be tied if no rain falls through Monday; that’ll move us up to No. 3. Then comes 45 days (June 8-July 22, 1978). We might as well shoot for the alltime record which is 55 days from July 30-Sept. 22, 2000. That would mean no rain until Sept. 2. Go us? Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and thinks he was a weatherman in another life.

Winning well

recently received, as a gift, a collection of poetry. The friend who gave it to me told me about the author, his mother’s cousin, who wrote thousands of quatrains (four line poems) over several decades. He described her as the smartest person he had ever known (quite a compliment coming from a retired university professor), and also described her writing process. She kept two typewriters side by side on her desk. On one, she did her regular work. On the other, she composed her poetry. Every time she had an idea for a verse, she went immediately to her typewriter and got it on paper. I told him I was glad that I live in the age of the smart phone. It’s a lot easier to keep up with my writing ideas than it would be if I had to carry a typeLIFE MATTERS writer around with me. I never know when a writing idea will hit or what will become of it. This morning, during my devotional time, Gerry Lewis I read an unfamiliar (to me) hymn written by Benjamin M. Ramsey (1849-1923). The hymn, Teach Me Thy Way, O Lord, was written around 1919. The four simple verses (quatrains themselves) are as follows:

Teach me Thy way, O Lord, Teach me Thy way! Thy guiding grace afford–Teach me Thy way! Help me to walk aright, More by faith, less by sight; Lead me with heavenly light, Teach me Thy way! When I am sad at heart, Teach me Thy way! When earthly joys depart, Teach me Thy way! In hours of loneliness, in times of dire distress, In failure or success, Teach me Thy way! When doubts and fears arise, Teach me Thy way! When storms o’erspread the skies, Teach me Thy way! Shine through the cloud and rain, through sorrow, toil and pain; Make Thou my pathway plain, Teach me Thy way! Long as my life shall last, Teach me Thy way! Where’er my lot be cast, Teach me Thy way! Until the race is run, until the journey’s done, Until the crown is won, Teach me Thy way! As I read these verses, two things struck me. The first was a true sense of encouragement that, no matter the challenges in which I find myself, God has a “way” for me to follow. The second was my “Aha” for the day. All of these verses describe challenges and difficulties. When life is hard, when we experience loss, we are aware that we need God’s guiding presence. But what about the times when we win? Are we any less in need of God’s guidance? How can we win well? Inspired by that thought, I wrote a fifth quatrain with which I will finish today. In moments filled with peace, Teach me Thy way! In joy and sweet release, Teach me Thy way! When a smile is on my face, when my laughter filled the place; When I celebrate Your grace, Teach me Thy way!

Retired Ranger tales: ‘Show Me the Proof’ – Part 1

oe B. Hunt, a retired Texas Ranger from San Angelo, wrote in his book Texas Ranger – Campfire Tales, “I was simply, graciously blessed by our good Lord. Nothing in my life would have ever happened without His blessing, grace and mercy. I have been from the bottom of the valley to the top of the mountain and back several times. At this stage of my life, I know it is my Lord who has taken me on these journeys.” One of Hunt’s campfire tales is entitled “Show Me the Proof.” All law enforcement officers over the years have had this type of suspect. The officer will have the suspicion of someone’s involvement with a crime, a little circumstantial evidence, or maybe just a hunch their man is the guilty party, and, for whatever reason, the officer goes ahead and confronts the suspect about his guilt. “Many times this works. The suspect will give you the evidence you

According to the vehicle description, twin white CB radio antennae were mounted on the car, one on each rear fender. “Mr. Barrett said the two males HISTORICAL black had entered HIGHLIGHTS his store and smaller of Laurie Moseley the the two approached the sales counter with a small bag of potato chips that he laid on the counter. The larger male then asked for a soft drink, which was kept in a cooler box behind the counter. Mr. Barrett turned his back to the pair while retrieving the soft drink and turned back around, the larger male struck him in the head

with a pistol. “The two left the store with money from the cash drawer. They left the potato chip bag on the counter. “A farmer’s wife, living just south of the store, saw the Camaro drive right in front of her house and she was able to furnish the description of the occupants and the vehicle as it fled the scene. “A few weeks later, a vehicle was located in Lubbock and the driver, identified as Mae Helen Johnson,was brought to the Lubbock DPS office and interviewed. Johnson admitted to having the vehicle on the day of the robbery but denied any involvement. Johnson stated on the day of the robbery, she had taken her brother, John E. Johnson to the parole office. She also had another brother, Bobby Ray Johnson, in custody in Lubbock County on an attempted capital murder warrant. “Both brothers were interviewed and denied any involvement or knowledge of the robbery.

These are the ‘show me the proof’ types. What a satisfactory feeling it is to get that proof and go back for a second interview. You talk about attitude change. “I have had my share of these kinds of investigations and suspect interviews over the years. One was ‘The Roundup Robbery.’ “In late December of 1979, I got a call from the Lamb County Sheriff’s Office asking me to meet Hockley County deputies at a small grocery store in Roundup, Texas. Two men had just robbed the small store, and,in the process of the robbery had pistolwhipped Charles Barrett, the owner of the store. “As I neared the scene, deputies put out an ‘attempt to locate’ on a red Chevrolet Camaro, occupied by

Fifth Circuit delivers opinion concerning voter ID law

ven if the Texas Legislature did not intentionally pass a voter identification law that illegally discriminates against voters who are black, Hispanic or poor, the practical effect of the law is discriminatory and in violation of the federal Voting Rights Act. A 49-page opinion of a threejudge panel of the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals was released on Aug. 5. The panel ordered that much of the case be remanded to a federal district court in Texas for further consideration. When the Legislature passed Senate Bill 14 in May 2011, plaintiffs led by then-state Rep. Marc Veasey of Fort Worth filed suit, naming then-Gov. Rick Perry, the secretary of state and the chief of the Texas Department of Public Safety as defendants. Plaintiffs argued that the intent of the law was to suppress the minority vote and the law’s requirement that a

voter, to cast a ballot in person, must first present one of several forms of photo identification in addition to their voter registration certificate, amounts to an illegal poll tax. The U.S. District Court, Southern District of Texas, agreed and top state officials, acting on behalf of the state, appealed. In its multi-part ruling, the Fifth Circuit panel: • Vacated plaintiffs’ claim that the law is discriminatory in purpose and remanded that issue to the district court for further consideration. • Afﬁrmed the district court’s finding that the law does have a discriminatory effect and thus is in violation of Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, but also remanded that issue to the district court “for consideration of the proper remedy.” • Vacated the district court’s holding that SB 14 is a poll tax and rendered judgment in the State’s favor. • Dismissed plaintiffs’ claims

that SB 14 violates the F i r s t Amendm e n t (freedom of speech) and Fourteenth AmendSTATE m e n t CAPITAL (equal p r o t e c - HIGHLIGHTS tion). G o v . Ed Sterling Greg Abbott on Aug. 5 said: “In light of ongoing voter fraud, it is imperative that Texas has a voter ID law that prevents cheating at the ballot box. Texas will continue to fight for its voter ID requirement to ensure the integrity of elections in the Lone Star State.” Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton said: “Today’s ruling was a victory on the fundamental question of Texas’ right to

protect the integrity of our elections and the state’s common sense Voter ID law remains in effect.” The Texas Democratic Party issued a statement saying, “On the eve of the 50th anniversary of the Voting Rights Act, the United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit ruled that Texas’ discriminatory voter ID law – passed by Republican lawmakers and signed by Governor Rick Perry – violates Section 2 of Voting Rights Act.” Texas Democratic Party Chairman Gilberto Hinojosa said: “Texas Democrats believe that our nation and democracy is stronger when everyone is invited to participate in our electoral process. … We remain confident that the courts will find justice for Texas voters and ultimately strike down this racist and discriminatory law.”

Abbott on Aug. 3 reacted to the announcement, calling it “an environmental rule imposing steep cuts on greenhouse gas emissions from power plants.” “Not only will this rule result in higher energy prices for consumers, it will cost thousands of jobs,” Abbott said. “As we have in the past, Texas will lead the fight against an overreaching federal government that seems hell-bent on threatening the free-market principles this country was founded on.”

Ladies tumble Coach urges folks to keep an as volleyball eye out for Springtown runners year begins Some cross country athletes cross highway intersections to train BY MARK K. CAMPBELL The 2015 volleyball season began at home for the Lady Porcupines against a stout 6A foe,Weatherford. The varsity (0-1) lost in three games. The new squad struggled to score, falling 17-25, 16-25, 16-25. Veteran Ashton Weaver paced hitters with 6 kills; she also dug out 5 balls and had a block. Another vet, Mackensie Martin, dug out a team-high 17 Lady Roo efforts. Martin and Khloe Smith both served 2 aces. Defensively, Jill Ray had 6 digs and Karrah Cooper added 5. Next up is a tournament in Grandview Aug. 13-15. Subvarsities – The JV (0-1) lost 20-25, 25-23, 18-25 in a match Coach Hannah Adams said was “not too bad for our first game.” The SHS JV is crowded with 16 players, she said. Karlee Eddy had 16 digs and Hannah Downes added 13. Raynee Henderson shone with 10 assists, 4 blocks, and 3 kills. The freshman (0-1) squad fell 23-25, 20-25. Maddison Smith killed 4 balls and had 4 digs. Delaney Jones led with 5 digs and she also served an ace.

BY MARK K. CAMPBELL They come out early in the morning to beat the summer heat, and Coach Trent Davis wants you to watch out for them. At sunrise, high school cross country runners are pounding the pavement, training for upcoming meets. That training – which usually begins at SHS – can send athletes across some major intersections. That includes busy roadways like Highway 199 and FM 51. Davis said, “We preach safety every day, and I’m with them at the intersections. “I’m just asking for people to keep their eyes out.” One route taken by racers sends them onto Pojo Road, through a local neighborhood,

SHS will host Sanger Friday, Aug. 14, in a 6:30 p.m. scrimmage – the varsities tangle at 8 – that will give fans their first chance to see the 2015 squads. On Thursday, Aug. 20, the Porcupines will scrimmage at Bridgeport at 6:15/7:30. The varsity season opener is Friday, Aug. 28 at Decatur at 7:30. Photos by Mark K. Campbell

runners across FM 51 near the Intermediate school. Once school begins Aug. 24, Davis said the runners will be out as early as 6 or 6:30 a.m., and he hopes everyone will watch for his athletes. The coach said he has 24 kids out for cross country right now and that tally will balloon substantially when athletes from soccer – which Davis also coaches – arrive. A first looms for SHS cross country: hosting a race. “I ran cross country and was an assistant coach at Pampa, so I know how it needs to be done,” Davis said. After a middle school race Sept. 23, the Springtown Scamper takes off Sept. 26 in Springtown Park.

Movie Man

Thursday, August 13, 2015 Springtown Epigraph

Fantastic Four reboot anything but fantastic Oh, my, the advance buzz was right about the Fantastic Four. While the Movie Man had some hope based on previews, negative rumblings began months ago – and, boy howdy, were they right.

where they belong, into the upper levels of the pantheon of the Marvel universe. This latest FF is terrible and has set by Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben back years – it’s downright inhuman.

About the film Sometimes it takes a while to get a superhero movie right. The Hulk went through a few efforts before studios finally figured it out. The Movie Man liked the 2003 version directed by Ang Lee with Eric Bana as Bruce Banner (Movie Man No. 513, a 7); however, fanboys hated it. (That movie, by the way, is on the books as one of the movies that made one of the greatest drops in its second week of release, 69.7 percent.) Another attempt was pretty good, too, the Movie Man thought. In The Incredible Hulk (2008, MM #777, 7), Edward Norton was a solid Banner and the film had a good balance of action, laughs, and CG. Now, the current Hulk, in the Avengers series, is the preferred Marvel madman by devotees. “Reboots” have already brought two Spider-Man series and a third is being made. Batman and Superman have also been reimagined. All those heroes, however, had been popularly and critically admired in earlier films. Then there’s what – for decades – was Marvel’s most beloved comic, The Fantastic Four. It was Movie Boy’s favorite by far. Yet, studios have never hit an FF movie out of the park. Excluding a 1994 quickie, the first real FF effort came in 2005 (MM #621, 6); it’s a middlin’ Marvel movie. Fantastic Four spawned a sequel, Rise of the Silver Surfer (2007, MM #723, 6), and it was more of the same – okay, but, c’mon!, this was the Fantastic Four! True believers awaited a bona fide, Iron Man/Avengerslike upgrade to launch the FF

The plot (spoiler) Reed Richards (Miles Teller) is a boy genius who gets recruited by Dr. Storm (Reg E. Cathey) to work along with his adopted daughter Sue (Kate Mara) to crack inter-dimensional travel. A former rough around the edges scientist who had a go at it earlier comes back, Victor Von Doom (Toby Kebell), and so does Cathey’s son Johnny (Michael B. Jordan). The group succeeds then the men decide to not let others get credit for being the first to use their machine but hop in it themselves – after Teller calls childhood friend Ben (Jamie Bell) to come, too. Things go very wrong on a planet in another realm. Mara brings the guys back – minus Kebell who falls into a glowing power source – but she gets a dose of the energy, too. Soon, the four on earth exhibit super powers – the ability to stretch (Teller), invisibility/force fields (Mara); flying fire man aka The Human Torch (Jordan); and a rocky pow-

Movie Man erhouse, The Thing (Bell). Dr. Allen (Tim Blake Nelson) wants to use the quartet militarily. Teller runs off, and Bell is already wreaking havoc on foreign battlegrounds; the Human Torch is next up, and Mara hates all of it. Kebell is not dead and Doom gets back to Earth to create a black hole to destroy the world. The Fantastic Four assemble to stop him. What works Kebell stands out as Doom. Initially, a deadbeat genius who burns out to live alone and play video games, his transformation into evil is pretty good and it looks better once the energy

planet gets through with him. There’s a quick scene of the black hole sucking up trees and cars off a bridge that’s kinda cool. Best scene Doom is back at the laboratory where the inter-dimensional machine was created. He marches through the complex, dispatching everyone in a gory manner; the exploding heads are straight out of the beloved horror movie Scanners.

What doesn’t work The dialogue in this movie is horrible. The Movie Man was hoping it was aping lines from actual early comics; but, no, it’s just bad writing. The film looks like it was made for a junior high class project. Director Josh Trank helmed a very good debut – Chronicle (2012, MM #968, 7) – and he swears this version of FF is nothing like he had created before the dreaded “studio interference.” Even worse is the computer generation. The movie resembles an early ‘80’s second billing/straight to video effort with its penny-ante effects. Fox abandoned earlier planned 3-D and that was a wise move. Bad CG in 3-D would really be bad. The first real set piece, on the other planet’s surface, is laughably amateurish. And the climactic battle might be the worst superhero vs. nemesis confrontation of all time. None of the actors seem to fit their roles.

How to beat the heat Follow these tips to help conserve energy and stay cool

BY MISTY SHAW Is it fall yet? Cooler weather just can’t get here fast enough, with recent daytime high temperatures staying well above the century mark. And as the mercury rises, so too do utility bills, drought conditions, and the risk of heatrelated illnesses. Here’s some helpful advice from the experts to help you save on energy bills, conserve water, and cope with the heat

wave. Conserve energy, save cash It’s tempting to crank up the air conditioning on a sweltering summer day, but simply put, when you conserve energy, you save money. These energy saving tips were recommended by Jamie Wooldridge, president of Berkeys Air Conditioning, Plumbing and Electrical for customers in Azle, Springtown, and surrounding areas:

• programmable thermostats “From an HVAC standpoint, one of the biggest savings is getting and using a programmable thermostat,” said Wooldridge. “A lot of people have them but don’t utilize them very well, and you can save $280 or more annually just by setting the programmable thermostat at 78 to 80 degrees when you’re away from home. “Or you can invest in a zoning system, where you can actually control the temperature

of individual rooms in your house,” Wooldridge added. “But just the basic standard programmable thermostat, using that and having the temperature up by five degrees will save you couple hundred dollars a year. “The Energy Department says each degree you raise on your thermostat can save two percent on your total energy bill.” PLEASE SEE THE, PAGE 4B.

The many benefits of massage therapy Advertisements for vacation destinations often paint couples’ massages as the premier romantic activity. It’s true that massages can be relaxing and sensual, making such sessions ideal gifts come Valentine’s Day. Yet, massages aren’t just sultry oils and New Age music. They can actually be very good for overall health. Massage therapy is beneficial in various ways. Massage is no

longer just available in upscale health clubs or luxury spas. Massage spas have cropped up in malls, hospitals, clinics, and even office buildings, making massage therapy that much more accessible. The Mayo Clinic notes that while more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, it may be helpful for a variety of health ailments. In addition to easing sore mus-

Rejuvenate

cles, reducing joint pain and helping soft tissue strains or injuries, massage can promote relaxation, reduce anxiety and calm feelings of stress. Massage reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This helps to lift spirits and can often lower blood pressure. Massage also may help to boost the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, which are associated with depression. According to Health magazine, massage also can help promote healthy sleep. It has something to do with the effect of massage on delta waves, which are the brain waves con-

nected to deep sleep. There is some evidence that massage can also increase white blood cell counts, promoting improved immunity. Many people rely on massages to relieve pain. According to a report published in 2011 in the American College of Physicians’ “Annals of Internal Medicine,” massage helps people in pain feel and function better than those who do not receive treatment. Massage can alleviate stiffness and pain and promote a better range of motion. And pain relief is not just for the back, arms and legs. Massage can reduce risk for

migraines and decrease pain from tension headaches. Massage even has beauty benefits. Rubbing the face and scalp can promote blood flow and encourage lymphatic drainage. This can add vitality to the complexion and plump up the skin. Dull hair may appear more shiny and revitalized. People can explore different types of massage and experiment with what works best for their ailments. Everything from Swedish massage to reflexology is offered at massage clinics. Because massage involves being partially or completely undressed and having a mas-

sage therapist touch various areas of the body, it is important to find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable. Make sure that the therapist is fully certified and qualified. It also helps if he or she is properly vetted by the spa or clinic. Therapists will heed a person’s preferences with regard to the massage, only concentrating on the areas specified. If anything feels uncomfortable or a client prefers not to have an area of the body touched, he or she simply needs to address that with the therapist at the beginning of the session.
