Area residents sound off at TCEQ hearing Animated crowd of more than 100 shows up to voice concerns

By ChRIS aGEE The Texas Commission on Environmental Quality held the first of several planned stakeholder’s meetings Aug. 13 at the Springtown Senior Center. Many locals signed up to speak to commission representatives regarding the malodorous sludge spread on property along J.E. Woody Road earlier this year.

A number of Wise and Ellis County residents attended to ad-

dress similar nuisances in those counties.

Set up for a crowd of 100, additional seating was necessary to accommodate the crowd. The Springtown meeting was the first of several across the state designed to elicit opinions and suggestions from residents affected by the biosolids, a product consisting of processed human waste for use as a fertilizer.

TCEQ staff began the meeting with a brief presentation of existing rules for both Class A – the type affecting local residents – and Class B biosolids.

The proliferation of Class B sludge, which can contain a much higher concentration of Fecal Coliform bacteria, is highly regulated while Class A rules require a low level of the bacteria.

Before allowing questions from the crowd, TCEQ staff presented a number of proposed changes to Class A biosolids, each designed to hold producers to a higher responsibility or better inform potentially

affected residents.

Though the presentation was designed to be followed by a Question-and-Answer forum, a number of attendees also included their own commentary.

“The word ‘safe’ should never be used in the same sentence with ‘biosolids,’” said one speaker who, during this portion was not required to state his name.

He listed a number of suggested remedies to the problem at hand, including higher fines for rule breakers, more stringent training for TCEQ officers, and random inspecPLEASE SEE RESIDENTS, PAGE 2A.

Council members discusses property tax rate

By ChRIS aGEE Springtown city council members convened for a special meeting Aug. 8, during which they discussed and agreed on a proposed property tax rate for the upcoming fiscal year.

While the rate agreed to is higher than the current rate of 0.62048 cents per $100 in property value, it falls below the rollback rate of 0.7518108.

The actual observed tax rate, according to City Administrator Mark Krey, will almost certainly be far lower than the proposed 0.75-cent rate unanimously approved during the recent meeting.

“You don’t want to limit yourselves at this stage of the game,” he cau-

tioned city leaders.

Encouraging them to round down the rollback rate to decide on a proposal – as previous councils have done – he said council members should maintain some leeway in dealing with unknown variables.

Krey noted the upcoming sale of city bonds could make a difference in expected revenue, thus affecting the tax burden of local residents.

“When it’s all said and done, it’s way lower than that, but you give yourselves some flexibility,” he noted.

According to Place 2 Council member Denise Taylor, who made a motion to adopt the proposed rate, the change represents a nearly 23 percent increase

in property taxes.

“We can always adjust it down,” said Place 4 Councilman Robert Wilson.

“Whatever you vote for will be the highest you can go,” Krey added.

Following the meeting, Krey elaborated on the process involved in developing a proposed property tax rate.

“The procedure that city council undertook last week is a mandated step in the development of our annual budget,” he explained. “The city is statutorily required to set the maximum tax that may be raised in early August.”

He noted this step comes very early in that process “since we do not get our certified tax rolls until the last week of July – in this case, the Tuesday prior to

the council meeting.”

Krey explained he presented a first draft of the city’s budget to council members during a daylong budget workshop Aug. 3, giving them their first glimpse of what is to come.

Despite an increased proposed rate, Krey said history teaches that taxpayers will not likely see any significant changes.

“Over the course of the last five budget cycles, the tax rate that has been set has been either the effective tax rate or the same as the previous year’s rate,” he said. “I am confident that will occur once again this year.”

The actual rate, according to Krey, will be set at the regular council meet-

ing Sept. 26.

“Staff has revised the first draft of the budget to one that holds the ad valorem tax rate steady while keeping the activities of the city at a level the citizens want,” he added.

During the same meeting, council members briefly discussed the municipal budget following the previous workshop.

Krey emphasized the importance of establishing a sufficient reserve fund for the city’s operating expenses and offered the suggestion of a nominal rise in base water and sewer rates.

“We’re trying to get some more revenue stream coming in to build up that reserve,” he explained.

Busy Springtown median continues to draw criticism Heavy midtown traffic along State Highway 199 creates confusion, chaos

By ChRIS aGEE A number of locals have expressed concern regarding the flow of traffic along State Highway 199 in Springtown.

Vehicles entering and exiting business parking lots near the 500 block of 199 East create the greatest hazard, according to several residents.

One concerned motorist advised drivers regularly use the wide median “as an additional lane” and urged everyone turning into or out of retailers on either side of the highway to use caution.

“It’s crazy out there,” said a near-

by storeowner, explaining a glut of vehicles in the roadway often results from “the volume of business between fast food restaurants.”

As traffic continues a few blocks west, she said the backups clear; however, she recalls witnessing numerous crashes in the area throughout recent years.

“Schools are getting ready to start,” she cautioned, noting inexperienced drivers will be on the roads and could result in additional wrecks.

Though some blame the traffic pattern for problems, she said the

majority of issues are caused by “the impatience of the drivers.”

Springtown City Administrator Mark Krey confirmed the city has received multiple complaints, though he said there are few remedies to the situation.

“That issue has been there since the road was widened 20 years ago,” he said. “Various city leaders have met with representatives of [the Texas Department of Transportation] periodically since that time.”

Though a number of changes in traffic control have been suggested, Krey PLEASE SEE FLOW, PAGE 3A.

tions of sludge producers.

“Check permits and land plats for accuracy,” he suggested, explaining some properties have been overstated in size to allow for greater sludge distribution.

A Springtown resident added, “I thought in the country you were supposed to have fresh air, and this is far from fresh air.”

Several citizens expressed concern about hazardous waste and other materials left in the sludge after processing and one man asked the TCEQ panel if any member present had been directly affected by biosolids application.

One panelist said he knew of at least one colleague who lived very close to an application site, though he explained the issue is not whether it affects them personally but to combine their observations with the evidence presented by residents.

A number of speakers described a feeling of hopelessness, including one Wise County resident who said she is not normally a proponent of government intervention.

“At this point, I’m begging you to help us,” she said. “I couldn’t sell my property in the spring if I gave it away for $5 an acre.”

The final speaker during the Q-andA portion said he is a retired peace officer and similarly felt TCEQ was a last resort for area residents.

“You’re probably getting tired of listening,” he told the panel, “but we don’t have another avenue.”

During his career in law enforcement, he said he had been in countless situations resulting in offensive smells, explaining none could compare to the sludge’s scent.

While the product is supposed to be dry upon application, he described

seeing sludge dripping from the rear of a truck belonging to Renda, the Fort Worth-based company responsible for spreading much of the smelly product.

A more formal forum followed, during which citizens who had signed up to speak were given up to three minutes to address TCEQ staff directly and on the record. The comments, according to the panel, would be considered during the rule-making process to follow.

Parker County Judge Mark Riley, who was joined by a quorum of county commissioners, was first to speak and expressed his appreciation of TCEQ for providing a local meeting location.

The biosolids issue, he explained, “boils down to the proper application.”

He referred to a prior admission by TCEQ that the sludge spread locally was not properly processed.

“I’m concerned,” he said.

“If everybody knows Renda was breaking the rules, why was nothing done about it.”

He said making rules is important, but implementing them effectively is also vital.

“I think we need to be fair in enforcing the rules,” he said.

Riley echoed previous recommendations that TCEQ should require more information before allowing the application of sludge and potentially affected residents should be notified in advance.

Wise County Judge Bill McElhaney, also accompanied by commissioners from his county, spoke next.

“We have to do something,” he began. “There are no consequences to what the transporter is doing.”

He referenced a Fort Worth report describing more than half of the sludge spread in Wise County during a recent 13-month period as “wet.”

Holding up a resolution signed by commissioners, McElhaney said he was respectfully submitting it to TCEQ and “requesting you change these rules ... and make it work.”

Boyd resident Bonnie Scroggins urged the commission to seriously consider the concerns of those present.

“A lot of us have the same story and most of it is odor,” she explained. “I hope you’re looking at all these faces and to heart.”

She described a permeating stench that lasts months at a time.

“It’s not even just in the spring,” she said. “It’s also in the fall.”

She said sludge has been applied near her residence just before rain, which exacer- More than 100 area citizens attended a meeting to air out concerns surroundbates the situation. ing the local application of sludge and the accompanying stench.

explained each presented its own unique issues.

“No definitive plan has ever been developed because of the challenges presented,” he explained. “If the turn lane was altered to limit the places left-hand turns can be made, it would limit those down to three to four between the intersections of FM 51 and 199, and Hilltop and 199.”

This would create additional congestion as

“there would be more people making U-turns, having to drive past where they want to go; and, it could potentially have an adverse impact on the businesses located on 199.”

While city staff has voiced local concerns, he explained the state agency is responsible for undertaking any renovations.

“TxDOT is aware of the concerns we have and routinely monitors the number and severity of accidents – which are not many,” he concluded.

Keeping Springtown clean one recycling bin at a time Locals encouraged to visit city’s dedicated recycling center by chris agee Located directly behind Brookshire’s on Martin Avenue, a self-service recycling center offers locals a convenient location at which to responsibly dispose of various household waste items.

In addition to paper, which can also be recycled in bins at all city school campuses, City Administrator Mark Krey said the larger receptacle accepts a variety of items.

“The recycling center on the public works yard is the only one in the city that accepts multiple types of recyclable materials,” he said.

Users can deposit any type of paper, provided it is free of food; plastics categorized between numbers 1 and 7; and either ferrous or aluminum metals, according to Krey.

“For larger metal items, there is a commercial business between Springtown and Reno that buys scrap metal,” he added.

Recyclable materials are collected on a weekly basis.

“It is operated by our solid waste contractor, Republic Services [IESI] and taken to a single stream recycler in the Metroplex area,” Krey explained.

In an effort to encourage recycling, the U.S.

Environmental Protection Agency released a number of facts regarding the disposal habits of Americans.

According to the agency’s website, 28 billion bottles and jars are thrown away annually in the U.S. and Americans combine to create more than 200 million tons of garbage each year.

Much of the refuse thrown out each year will remain in landfills for centuries, including the 25 billion Styrofoam cups trashed every year in the United States.

While just over 4 percent of food waste is composted each year, Americans are more vigilant about recycling certain other materials.

Corrugated boxes, for example, have a 73 percent recovery rate and Americans recycled more than 21 million tons of cardboard during one recent year alone. Corrugated boxes manufactured in the U.S. contain 37 percent recycled content.

Additionally, nearly 10 percent of plastic packaging – including more than one quarter of all plastic bottles This recycling bin is available for the responsible disposal of paper, plastics, and metals.

Man found dead in apparent drowning Authorities say victim was reported missing earlier the same day by chris agee Tarrant County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a reported drowning Aug. 12 on Power Squadron Road near Pelican Bay. While Tarrant Regional Water District officers ultimately had jurisdiction in the case, the drowning victim was identified as a missing person in a case deputies were investigating.

“We got the call at 7:57 [that] morning,” said TCSO spokesman Terry Grisham. “We received another call at 7:45, just a few minutes prior. The caller said her husband was missing; he had been camping for two days.

We opened a missing persons report at that time.”

At first, he said, authorities could not definitively determine whether the two cases were related.

“Not until the M.E. made positive identification,” he explained. “We determined the deceased individual in the lake was the person we were looking for.”

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim as Aaron Winterberg, 36, of Tarrant County.

He died near a boat dock in the 10900 block

of Power Squadron Road at 8:18 a.m., according to the report.

As of Aug. 13, a cause or manner of his death had not been officially determined.

According to a TRWD incident summary report, officers received a report around 8 a.m. describing a person laying face down on Eagle Mountain Lake. Upon arrival, officers observed the individual floating in shallow water.

He was pronounced dead by a member of the Azle Fire Department a short time later.

As of Aug. 13, officers explained the investigation is ongoing and no additional details were available.

The medical examiner’s report will determine whether additional investigation is warranted, though Grisham said the TCSO’s involvement ended with the closure of its missing person case.

“We have jurisdiction on some parts of the shore,” he said, indicating TRWD will handle any further investigation deemed necessary.

“If [the medical examiner] saw anything that looked like foul play, the water district would follow up on that.”

SMS cheerleaders earn honors The 2013-14 Springtown Middle School cheerleaders raked in a bevy of awards – and school hasn’t even started yet.

At the National Cheerleader Association Camp at the University of North Texas in Denton, SMS’ squad trained in technique, routines, safety, and leadership traits.

The team, led by coach Erica Weber, claimed five squad awards at the camp where the theme was “Stand Up and Step Out.” The Camp Champion Award was won when SMS cheerleaders performed a combination of chants, stunts, and cheers; their technique and performance level took the honor.

SMS also won the Star Chant Award, the Rally Routine Award – performed before other cheerleaders – and the Spirit Stick Award, the latter lauding SMS’ “genuine spirit and strong teamwork.”

The SMS squad received a bid to compete in the NCA nationals competition.

Several girls claimed individual awards.

Four were named All-American: eighth graders Lexi Burt and Kassidy Sugg and seventh graders Peyton Yates and Kambree Smith.

Mindy Mullens took the eighth grade Star Jumper award.

Several others were finalists for the honor: eight grader Maysie Courtney and seventh graders Kayla Levesque, Samantha Wann, and Khloe Smith.

Mullens and Smith were named the Star Tumbler in their grades, eighth and seventh, respectively.

Wann and Ashley Levesque were finalists for Star Tumbler.

Star Stunt Group winners were Kayla Levesque, Smith, Kambree Smith, Yates, and Sugg.

Runners-up were Bailey Harmon, Emily Berlin, Courtney, Wann, and Ashley Levesque.

The staff of B & B Burger from left to right, Leonard Fisher, Parker Fisher, Barbara Truett, Brent Truett.

Get a fantastic burger at the new B & B Burger Springtown's Square now houses one of the best burgers around. One of those classic, "old-time" burgers that is grilled especially for you and to your specifications.

This reminiscent restaurant is B & B Burgers at 101 E. 1st Street, on the northwest corner of the Square at Main Street.

Superlative mouth-watering burgers are made from a special blend of beef – ground fresh, never frozen – and cooked to perfection on a flat-top grill.

The juicy patty is topped with the freshest hand-picked vegetables then slipped between a toasted bakery bun.

Next, cap that classic, step-back-in-time burger with hand-cut fries, hand-breaded onion rings, or twisted sweet tator chips.

Top with a hand-spun milkshake or a Coke or root beer float and you have ventured far from typical fast food.

B & B Burgers opened on July 10 and is the loving vision of owners Brent and Barbara Truett.

Barbara said, "While on a visit with my brother in Springtown, we found the space we now occupy. My husband and I have always been high energy and knew we needed something to be involved with in our retirement.

"Our vision was to provide a really good burger. Not just another fast food burger but one

that people would talk about and tell their friends about. One that many would say was the best burger they ever had – and even more would remember a great burger from their past that compared."

That vision is coming true, according to the steady stream of customers marching into B & B Burger. "In just a few weeks, we have many regulars that are so excited we are here," Barbara said.

Right now, take this ad in and get a free drink with the purchase of a quarter-pound burger and fries.

B & B Burger is open Wednesday-Friday from 11 a.m.-2 p.m. and Saturday 11 a.m.-3 p.m. Hours are extended when special events are slated for the Square.

When the doors are open, the Truetts, grill master Leonard Fisher, and drink wrangler/table buster Parker Fisher create those memorable masterpieces.

You can find the full menu on Facebook.

Your mouth-watering creation is waiting.

Call 817-523-7520 or 817-523-7519 and get ready for a wondrous blast from the past.

Barbara said, "We are realizing our dream and are very encouraged that we are providing a burger that people look forward to enjoying."

The History of Food Trucks in three playlets

S

ome things you just don’t see coming.

I never imagined tattoos. On girls.

Or facial piercings. On anyone.

Bottled water.

Five dollar coffees.

People now pay big money to buy jeans that are already torn!

As curious as all these were/are, the weirdest of all the things that I never thought would become popular but somehow did is food trucks.

Some guy drives up and parks this previously condemned pile of junk, throws open the side, and says he’s selling Thai food.

Or cupcakes.

Or soup.

Soup! Out of a truck!

In former generations, there where

two kinds of trucks that contained food – the ice cream man drove one and some scraggly dude piloted the other food truck, arriving around noon at whatever construction site or warehouse you happened to work at.

Now that I have grandchildren, I again pursue ice cream trucks.

You might not know this, but a dime will no longer buy a Popcicle. It takes a bunch of them.

It goes like this: ME: Does that say $2.95 for a Popcicle?!

ICE CREAM MAN: Yes. They’re on sale.

GRANDCHILD: I want a Mario ice cream cookie sandwich!

ME: (reading) Six bucks!

ICE CREAM MAN: Not on sale.

GRANDCHILD: Poppy, just use your card thingie.

I C E C R E A M MAN: Ten percent surcharge to use a card thingie.

GRANDCHILD: I love you, Poppy!

ME: What you got?

ME: And that’s…?

SCRAGGLY DUDE: I’m not sure; it’s wrapped in foil – like everything else.

ME: Was it made today?

SCRAGGLY DUDE: Possibly.

ME: You don’t know!

SCRAGGLY DUDE: You want something or not?

ME: I guess. (pointing) That one.

SCRAGGLY DUDE: Oh, man, not that one.

Today, there are exotic food trucks, some manned by supposed gourmet chefs. Who could possibly know what goes on inside a food truck?

CHEF: Welcome to my gourmet soup truck!

ME: Soup...from a truck.

CHEF: I know, right!? I left the classiest French restaurant for this.

I’ve broken the ties of the bourgeoisie!

ME: Yeah, they’re jerks. I assume.

Well, you showed them. Making soup…from a truck.

CHEF: Oui! That’s why I call it Let Them Eat Soup. I have 50 different kinds.

ME: How about some chicken noodle?

CHEF: For real? Dang! I have soups made with truffles and unicorn horns and that’s your pick out of 50 soups?

Cinquante!

ME: Please don’t cracher in it.

CHEF: Trop en retard!

ME: I knew that was going to bite me in the derriere.

Continuing the story of the life of Ida Sellers Kile, Part 3

M

y half-sisters, Hassey, Louisa, and Martha all married brothers, named Arnold.

Hassey married the youngest one of the boys whose name was Tom Arnold. She married when she was 16, and I remember when she was married. I remember sitting on the side of the bed beside her and when they were ready for the ceremony Hassey stood up and stood right where she was for the ceremony.

“Louisa married six months later and she was younger even than Hassey when she married. She married Andy Arnold, the middle brother. They went off on horseback in the rain to be married. Louisa was wearing a gray sunbonnet and a black riding habit.

“Mama wanted to buy a horse, so a horse trader brought a black horse out to show to her. He put on Mama’s rid-

ing habit and put her sidesaddle on the horse and rode the horse around and around on the prairie in front of the house to show that he was gentle for a woman to ride. The man’s name was Trueblood and he wore a stove-pipe hat. Mama didn’t buy the horse. She wanted a gentle horse and Mr. Trueblood kept trying to find her a gentle horse, so he brought out a white horse and tried him out the same way with the sidesaddle and Mama’s riding habit. The white horse was gentle, but he had been spoiled by the Indians and when anyone put his feet in his flanks or pulled a pinch of hair on his hips he would kick up his hind feet. Otherwise he was all right so Mama bought him.

“One evening when Osey was about seven years old Mama sent him after the cows on Old Charley, the name of the white horse. He either pulled a pinch of hair on Charley’s hip or

was cold.

“Mr. Trueblood was a widower with two children and he asked Mama to marry him, but she turned him down.

She thought that she would not marry any more, for she had been married twice.

“There was a young doctor named Williams lived in the town of Georgetown. He boarded with some people named Arm, and one of the Arm girls, Lizzie, was crazy about him. However, he also proposed to Mama, but she turned him down too. Lizzie Arm was very jealous of Mama, but it is thought that she finally married the doctor.

“Grandpa Arnold took a notion to move west so he could have more grass for his stock. So Louisa and Hassey persuaded Mama to go with them. So we all moved to Montague County, Texas. There was a one-room house with a sideroom and a log cabin out to one side away from the house.

Andy and Louisa put up a tent and Mama and Martha, Osey and myself lived in it. It was well built and warm and I do not remember being cold in it, although it snowed a lot while we were in it.

“Osey would catch birds, dress them and build a fire in front of the tent and roast the birds over the fire, just to amuse himself. The men started building houses for themselves. Andy, Tom and their oldest brother Jim Arnold each built them a house around close together.

“Mama, Osey and I lived with Andy and Louisa. Mama gave each of the girls a cow when they married, and the boys trapped and caught prairie chickens, doves, and rabbits for meat.”

TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION BETTER NEWSPAPER CONTEST

AWARD WINNER 2013

OPINION

Road-funding legislation finally passes in Austin

A

third called session of the Texas Legislature began July 30 and ended Aug. 5 with the task completed: passage of legislation to create a new funding path for transportation projects.

Given the contentiousness of the two previous called sessions that each lasted a full 30 days, lawmakers plowed their way to comparatively quick votes to give Gov. Rick Perry what he wanted. It’s a two-part solution.

First, Senate Joint Resolution 1 by Sen. Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, is a proposed constitutional amendment that voters will see on the November 2014 ballot. SJR 1, should voters approve it, would take 50 percent of the state’s oil and gas severance taxes that normally are deposited in the state Economic Stabilization (“Rainy Day”) Fund and instead put that revenue into the

state highway fund.

Second, House Bill 1 by Rep. Joe Pickett, D-El Paso, establishes a select committee on transportation funding, expenditures and finance. Committee membership would be made up of five House members and five Senate members to be appointed by the presiding officers of their respective chambers. The select committee will set a minimum balance each fiscal biennium for the Rainy Day Fund.

Whatever the panel suggests as an amount then would need final approval by majority vote of both House and Senate. HB 1 also requires the Texas Department of Transportation to find a way to save at least $100 million in funds appropriated to the agency for 2014-15 and that money would be used to pay down the agency’s debt.

Gov. Perry on Aug. 5 said the Legislature’s action “moves our state closer to securing a strong economy well into the future by providing more resources

for building and m a i n taining a transportation system that will keep our economy growing and our populaSTATE tion movCAPITAL ing.”

HIGHLIGHTS L t .

Gov. DaEd Sterling vid Dewhurst said, “This plan enables us to relieve congestion on Texas roadways while protecting our state's ‘AAA’ bond rating with a healthy balance in the Rainy Day Fund. To protect our Rainy Day fund, I am recommending a floor of $6 to $7 billion for the next two years.”

During debate action on Aug. 5, lawmakers in both chambers

expressed concern over the condition of rural roads in their districts that are heavily traversed by oil and gas industry vehicles. They said the repair and restoration of those roads should be high priority.

Tax revenue increases Texas Comptroller Susan Combs on Aug. 7 announced that state sales tax revenue in July was $2.2 billion, up 7.3 percent compared to July 2012.

“Texas sales tax revenue has increased for 40 consecutive months,” Combs said. “The retail trade sector bolstered the latest growth in monthly revenue, and collections from the construction and the oil and natural gas sectors continued to show strength.”

Combs said her agency would send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts their August local sales tax allocations totaling $671 million, up 6.2 percent compared to August 2012.

'Fracking' is credited Texas Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick last week told the American Legislative Exchange Council about the importance of hydraulic fracturing technology during the lobbying group’s annual meeting in Chicago.

Among her comments, Craddick said “fracking” is estimated to be used in about 80 percent of new wells completed in Texas today, and, “For almost 50 years, OPEC has manipulated oil markets, holding the United States captive to their supply-and price-setting whims. Thanks to fracking technology, America is moving closer to fulfilling its energy needs domestically.”

miles an hour below the posted limit when approaching Texas Department of Transportation workers and vehicles that are stopped with overhead flashing blue or amber lights, the agency announced last week.

TxDOT Executive Director Phil Wilson lauded the Legislature for passing a law that recognizes the dangers agency employees face each day. “We are hopeful that this new protection for our crews will lead to fewer preventable deaths and injuries,” Wilson said.

On roadways with posted speed limits of 25 miles per hour or less drivers must reduce their speed to 5 miles per hour and violators can be fined up to $2,000.

Driver law toughens up Current law requires drivers to move over and slow down for law enforcement, fire and emergency vehicles, but effective Sept. 1, drivers also must move over or slow down to 20

Movie Man

Thursday, August 15, 2013

Love connection in this family feud put in jeopardy The Movie Man chose the comedy We’re the Millers over a science-fiction movie, Elysium, this week. It was a bad move.

About the film WtM appealed to the Movie Man because he was hoping for a good comedy to come around again. He must admit he was swayed by a guy on the radio who’s usually a good judge of humor, saying it was one of the five funniest movies he’d ever seen. Oh, dear.

We’ve talked before about the effectiveness of some movies improving when seen with a large crowd. (That’s yet another reason that movie theaters will always be around – people want to go out and experience an event corporately and that’s not going to happen in front of your 100inch LED TV alone in the den.)

Horror movies and comedies especially benefit from group gatherings.

The guy who loved WtM said his theater was packed and there was much laughter. The crowd with the Movie Man was big, too; but riotous laughter didn’t come – rightfully so.

The Movie Man has come around on Jennifer Aniston. For a long time, he called her “box office poison” which was true.

But she’s a good actor and pretty brave recently. She was one reason the Movie Man headed to WtM. Another was Jason Sudeikis.

He just left Saturday Night Live and was part of a recent solid group there, almost all of whom have exited now. (This fall’s SNL is must-see TV just to see if a newly-infused cast can hang in there or if 2013-14 becomes the bridesmaid to what is far and away the worst SNL cast/season, 1985-86. [Despite Joan Cusack, Robert Downey, Jr., and Randy Quaid – “real actors” – and funny guys Jon Lovitz and Dennis Miller, that season stunk. Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman saved SNL the next season.])

Group floods Texans with drought-deflecting ideas by mark k. campbell This current drought is like no other in recent memory.

The folks at Texas Water Smart call it “recordbreaking.”

Already around here, people are doing their part to conserve water.

Back in June, Stage 1 water restrictions were implemented by the Tarrant Regional Water District.

Now comes the hottest stretch of the summer.

That means even more pressure on existing water supplies.

Droughts hurt.

Homeowners lose investments in landscaping and gardening.

Businesses see revenue drop which, in turn, has a an effect on the Texas economy and, eventually, the quality of life for Lone Star State residents.

That makes water conservation an economic issue, Texas Water Smart noted in a release.

Texans have a chance to vote on Proposition 6 this November which will provide funding for long-term water plans for the state.

Even with a plan, the first line of defense is

water conversation, says Texas Water Smart members, comprised of public and private officials.

The group, launched last year with over 135 legislative members and over 50 businesses, promotes pro-active steps to conserve water.

Among the organization’s suggestions to conserve water: Water yards in morning and evening only.

Adjust sprinklers to water lawns only.

Check outdoor faucets, sprinklers, and hoses for leaks.

Use a thick layer of mulch in planting beds.

Use watering cans for patio plants.

Water plants deeply but less frequently.

Use irrigation or drip hoses for shrubs and trees.

The current drought has lasted longer than any expert expected, Texas Water Smart noted.

“Conserving water today not only helps ensure we have enough water for tomorrow but also helps ensure we have enough water for the next generation of Texans,” the group notes.

For more information, visit www.TexasWaterSmart.com.

Springtown’s Walnut Creek (above) has been down for months and is even completely dry in many stretches. Ash Creek (left) in Azle is busy with minnows – when the small fish can find a pocket of water to flourish in these days.
