SISD board approves budget, tax rate 2014-15 taxes drop 3 cents per $100 in property value by Natalie Gentry Following the first day of school for students, the Springtown Independent School District (SISD) Board of Trustees met to discuss the new school-year’s budget. District Chief Financial Officer, Gary Shaw led a public hearing during which he explained the process of establishing a tax rate sufficient to fund an assortment of education-related expenses. The budget The bulk of expenditures in the General Fund – and the budget overall – goes toward instruction, Shaw said. Approximately $15 million is budgeted for teacher pay and instructional materials. That number represents

more than half of the general fund’s $26 million budget. Shaw explained the manner in which the General Fund balance will be appropriated, indicating 78 percent of the balance will go toward payroll. Nearly half of budgeted salary expenses are earmarked for teachers and librarians, he said. “They are the ones who have the knowledge to pass on to our kids,” he stated. Every teacher received a raise, he noted, stating the payroll budget is about $888,000 higher than last year. Shaw noted that the copier lease costs are declining because many employees are using the scan feature to reduce the need for paper copies.

Shaw was also conservative in budgeting for student attendance, estimating 3,080 this year compared to 3,105 at the end of last year. In addition to the General Fund, Shaw detailed the budgeting process of the food service, debt service, and special programs funds. He proposed a budget totaling $33,400,671 million, a $1.3 million increase from last year.

SISD Chief Financial Officer, Gary Shaw explained the planning of the 2014-2015 school budget and tax rate during the School Board meeting Aug. 25.

Low H2O

The tax rate Shaw said he planned for $8.8 million in local tax revenue despite estimates showing the district could collect over $9 million by the end of the current year, explaining that he prefers to budget conservatively.

Shaw explained his budget estimates nearly $300,000 more in local revenue. In addition, he did budget for a higher level of state revenue based on the fact funding revoked several years ago is being reinstated during the upcoming year. Local taxes account for about 35 percent of the general fund revenue, Shaw noted, recommending lowering the rate of 41.91 cents per $100 in property value to 38.9 cents per $100. “After all the certified values came in, the calculations came in at a threecent reduction,” he said. “That’s good news for our taxpayers.” The board subsequently approved Shaw’s recommended budget and tax rate.

Dwindling levels in Lake Bridgeport lead to emergency raw water pump placement By Natalie Gentry In order to address the critically low lake levels on Lake Bridgeport, both the Walnut Creek Special Utility District (SUD) and the Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. have employed the North Richland Hills engineering firm of E.S. & C.M., Inc. to design emergency raw water pumping facilities. The problem with a severe low lake level is that the existing selection of on-shore raw water pumps are reaching a critical point where the can no longer effectively lift and pump water from the lake.

Area of concern Walnut Creek SUD furnishes water services to over 7,000 retail customers and supplies water to five cities, including the northern Springtown area. After reviewing proposals from several engineering firms E.S. & C.M., Inc. was selected for the project because they offered the best plausible solution when considering cost, quick response time, and the ability to address a prolonged drought with even further decline in lake levels. Solution to the problem Keith Hamilton, P.E., president of E.S. & C.M., Inc. and Bill Lohrke,

senior project manager, developed a positive method to place large pumps on a heavy-duty marine barge that would pump up to 15 million gallons of water per day into the existing submerged inlet for both Walnut Creek SUD and for Brazos Electric Power Coop. The engineering firm received emergency approvals from both the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and from the lake owner, Tarrant Regional Water District.

One injured in 2-car accident By Natalie Gentry One person was injured Wednesday Aug. 20 in a motor vehicle accident in the 2700 block of Jay Bird Lane, according to Reno police. The crash occurred when a blue Nissan Versa driven by Shelly Plumlee, 29, of Azle, was heading north on Jay Bird when the vehicle entered the southbound lane and struck a white Ford F150. The driver of the Ford, John McCormick, 40, of Fort Worth, attempted to

avoid the collision but was unable to do so. Plumlee’s vehicle struck the front of the truck, spun back across the road, and ultimately came to rest on the shoulder of the northbound lane. McCormick was uninjured, but Plumlee was transported via Lifecare to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth with incapacitating injuries. According to police, driver inattention may have been a contributing Reno Police Chief Hank Pope and a Department of Public Safety trooper discuss the scene of an acPhoto by Natalie Gentry factor. cident on Jay Bird Lane Aug. 20.

the side of the road in the 1400 block of Highway 199. A program to provide First Responders with Gatorade just ended at Brookshire’s. According to the National Weather Service, heat is one

The work can be seen from the shoreline and is monitored daily by the engineering firm and by the two owner entities.

A few hot weather tips to keep in mind:

• Drink plenty of (non-alcoholic decaffeinated) fluids even if you don’t feel thirsty • Stay cool indoors if possible • Dress in light-weight, light colored clothing. • Schedule outdoor activities carefully and wear sun screen: sunburns reduce the body’s ability to dispel heat. • Exercise outdoors in the morning or evening. • Eat light, regular meals – avoid hot foods and heavy meals. • Never leave infants, children, or pets in a parked car.

Barge capabilities The emergency pumping barge has been designed for mobile use should the lake level continue to fall. In the event the drought continues, the barge will be moved

to deeper water where it will continue to supply water. The barge can pump even if the lake level falls another 20 feet; however, it is hoped that a break in the long drought will occur within the next two years. The pumping barge is brightly lighted at night and is encircled with numerous lighted warning buoys. In addition, the barge has extensive electrical controls that will be incorporated into the supervisory control and data acquisition system for both operation and monitoring.

The general contractor on the project is Steve Harris of Harris Welding and Construction of Agnes while the electrical contractor is Kent Meyerhoeffer, WHECO Electric of Fort Worth. The estimated cost for the emergency raw water pumping facilities is $867,547. The project and engineering methods to address a declining lake level is very similar to the methods employed for the same reasons in surface area lakes supplying water to the Austin area.

SISD provides free and reduced priced meals by Natalie Gentry It’s widely understood that children need healthy meals to learn, so the Springtown Independent School District (SISD) offers nutritious meals each school day. Breakfast costs $1.50, while lunch is $2.25 for Pre-K through fourth grade and $2.50 for grades 5 through 12. Second meals and adult lunches cost $3.50. In July, the SISD released its policy for providing free and reduced-price meals for children in the school system, and copies of the policy are available at each school and at the central office and may be reviewed by anyone on request. Families wishing to receive

benefits need to complete an application each year to ensure continued participation in the program. Children from families whose gross income fall within the limits described on the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines and summarized in the accompanying chart qualify for free or reduced meals. As do children in households receiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Food Distribution Program on Indian Reservations (FDPIR), or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF). In addition, foster children under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court are

eligible for free meals regardless of the income of his or her resident household. The district began distributing letters to the households of the children in the district about eligibility benefits Aug. 1. Families that received a letter of notification that their children are directly certified for free meals do not need to complete an application, but they should ensure all children in the home are listed and notify the school if any student was omitted. Any household that does not receive a letter and feels it should have can contact Janet Moss, Director of Child Nutrition or Ginger Frizzell, Secretary at (817) 220-2460.

School year up and running

Remembering John

42 new teachers in SISD this year by mark k. campbell Springtown ISD Superintendent Mike Kelley filled in the Optimist Club on how the 2014-15 school year began. One big improvement, he said, was the addition of fulltime assistant principals. When the state took away funds years ago, the decision was made to eliminate/consolidate some assistant principals’ positions. “Some schools had none or shared,” Kelley said. With those state funds returning, filled positions this year include assistants for Goshen Creek Elementary (GCES), Jana Long; Springtown Elementary School (SES), Angie Kraus, and Reno Elementary (RES), Tammy Shaw. At the high school, former longtime athletic trainer Brent Haugen is a new assistant and Scott McPherson, with long ties to Springtown, is the principal. A new position, SHS Dean of Students, is held by former SHS grad Jimmy Steen, a “hometown boy,” who came over from Bridgeport, Kelley said. Math attack With the subject being a concern in the district, a trio of elementary schools will receive “math specialists” – Judy Workman at SES, Susan Lisle at GCES, and Renee Posey at RES. While five of the SISD’s six elementary schools “met standards” set by the state, SES did not in math. “Fourth grade math did them in,” Kelley said. He said that was a reason for the math specialists. Previously, Springtown Intermediate School (SIS) “was there a few years ago,” but a comprehensive effort sent math scores “way up” there, Kelley said.

Now, SIS has received state recognition – Distinction Designation – for being a “top 25 percent student progress” school. The high school also earned a Distinction Designation for its social studies program. Kelley said 93 percent of SHS students passed. He added that SISD’s ACT scores beat national and state averages. Buses and students Kelley said 10 minutes have been added to the school year daily for 2014-15; school time for SHS is up by 12 minutes. The superintendent said the number of non-air-conditioned buses this year has dropped to five. “And only three of those are

on routes,” Kelley said. The massive traffic backups on Highway 199 and Main Street will dissolve once parents begin putting their children on buses, he noted. “The first days parents bring their kids to school,” Kelley said. The actual number of enrollees in the district varies widely the first week, he said. Kelley said he expected a rise of 50 to 80 children by the end of the opening week. Money savings Kelley said a program with TCU continues to be a boon for SISD technology. The university regularly rotates out their computers and sells them to the ISD at a deep discount.

Last year, Springtown bought 140 at $125 each. “It’s great for us and great for them,” Kelley said. “We have saved hundreds of thousands of dollars.” He noted that the BYOD – Bring Your Own Device – continues at SHS. Those students’ devices are kept separate from teachers’ to keep viruses at bay. School bonds will likely be refinanced, Kelley said. Barring national economic upheaval, the savings could top $2 million. SISD is in good shape financially, he said. “We are in the best position we have been in a long time,” Kelley said.

Businesses and churches around town noted the passing of popular pastor/Springtown supporter Johnnie Conway whose funeral service was held Aug. 22 to overflow crowds at Hilltop Family Church.

Women’s Quarter auction health benefiting library seminar set for Sept. 2 here Sept. 30 A “Friend to Friend Party” that focuses on women staying healthy comes to Springtown Tuesday, Sept. 30. Speakers and exhibits will detail the importance of mammograms, pap tests, and other forms of early detection of cancer. Also addressed at the Springtown Senior Center, 1070 North Main Street, will be accessing financial resources and other area services. The free event is sponsored by Texas A&M AgriLife Extension out of Weatherford and runs from 6 to 8:30 p.m. Those needing transportation should call 817-598-6168 by Sept. 22 to make arrangements. That is also the number to register for the Friend to Friend Party. Also offered: food and door prizes, the latter including a Walmart gift card. Among the partners are the American Cancer Society and Cancer Care Services.

by Natalie Gentry The Sept. 2 charity quarter auction at the Senior Center will raise funds for the Friends of the Springtown Library. Money collected will allow for the continued improvement of materials, programs, and the facilities. The night is sure to be fun as each of the 10-20 vendors displays an item and gives a brief description. They then give a bid amount – usually one to four quarters –and anyone interested in the item raises their paddle and pays the bid. After all bids are in, numbers are drawn until one that matches a number of a raised paddle

is found and the winner is announced. Multiple paddles may be purchased to increase the odds of winning a bid – although a bid for each paddle is required for it to be counted. So if you have two paddles and want to raise them both for a 50-cent item, you would need The Friends of the Springtown Library are the beneficiaries of the Sept. 2 quarter to put in a dollar. auction at the Senior Citizen center on North Main Street.

Farewell groovy shoes and Frank Zappa

’oh! There’s nothing like the truth to mess up a good story. Forever, I have told people that I have a pair of shoes that I purchased back in the late 1970’s, when disco reigned. (We rockers used to highly disdain disco, much like we did the Carpenters and, later, Hall and Oates. Today, I know all the words to all of the former’s tunes and one of the first songs I ever bought on an iDealie was Hall and Oates’ “Sara Smile.” And, about disco...well, my ringtone is “Stayin’ Alive.” Someday, even the hair bands of the 1980’s – so highly reviled today by music snobs – will come back into vogue. I predict my ringtone in 2022 will be Ratt’s “Round and Round.”) Anyway, the Bride told me those brown leather shoes with wooden heels did not carbon date from 1978 but from the early 1980’s, right after our second daughter was born. That puts them more along the lines of Kim Carnes’ “Bette Davis Eyes” rather than K.C. and the Sunshine

Band’s “I’m Your Boogie Man.” Still, that’s pretty old for a pair of shoes, 33 years. They were the only pair of brown dress shoes I had during that stretch. I had them resoled a few times, but soon the actual architecture of the shoe – its very integrity – began literally disintegrating. That was OK; I didn’t wear them a ton. Then I went to the movie about a year ago. The weak heel failed as I walked down the steep stairs and I tumbled all the way to the lower level. The heel had separated. But I found it – rooting around in the auditorium afterward, certainly creeping out the teenagers trying to clean the place up for the next showing. It had simply come undone and the (old) shoe nails stuck in the carpet. So I just stomped the heel back on and it worked just fine for months.

ON YOUR MARK Mark K. Campbell

Then it happened again. And again. The stomping repair began to be less effective. The final straw was heading to an elementary school’s principal’s office and the thing snapping off twice. The end had come for my groovy brown disco shoes. Sighing, I threw them away. (The Bride rejoiced.) Seeing them off reminded me of my all-time favorite tshirt. (The Bride can probably shoot this date down too, but I’m more solid on this one.) I had the very coolest shirt ever made (for 1976). It was blue with a huge solid black imprint of the then-hipsters’ hero, Frank Zappa. I love Zappa. He’s not for everyone. He was a liberal’s liberal back in the day and did not shy away from avantgarde musical experiments stuffed with sometimes witty/ crude lyrics. (“Watch out where the huskies go/Don’t

you eat that yellow snow.”) His record Apostrophe became the big thing in our gang and we quoted from it regularly, chuckling at our injokes like “Is that a real pancho or a Sear’s pancho?” and “Your stink-foot puts the hurt on my nose.” (Could we have been cooler?) There’s a photo of me, 20, wearing the shirt while on a Galveston beach in 1976. So, in an effort to recapture those lost 70’s, I searched the Internet for that stylin’ old Zappa shirt. Surely, someone had one, somewhere. They did not. There are plenty of other Zappa shirts at many stores, emblazoned with his wacky philosophies. But that original piece of clothing is nowhere to be found. They have gone the way of my fantastic disco shoes – only I suspect the true facts are that the Bride is the one who tossed Zappa. D’oh. Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and wonders, “Who you jivin’ with that Cosmik Debris?”

Letter to the Editor Remembering Johnnie Conway When a larger than life community leader suddenly leaves us, such as Pastor of Hilltop Family Church, Johnnie Conway, it shocks us. It shocks not only his church, but the community because of that larger than life presence. His service was not just to his church; it was to this community. He made it quite clear by his actions that he loved this community. We didn't have to be a member of his church for him to love us and to serve us. I'm not a member of Hilltop Family Church, but I know a lot of members who attend there. I didn't know Pastor Conway well, but I met him and talked with him on occasion. I've always noticed his presence...always. I've heard the question asked, “Do others see Jesus in you?” I truly believe I saw Jesus in this man. That is why I felt compelled to write about him. The first time I met Johnnie Conway was several years ago in the Winn-Dixie grocery store. There are some that may not even know that it was Winn-Dixie before Brookshire’s. I was in line behind this man who was checking out. There was not someone available to sack groceries so he was joking and laughing with the checker and sacking his groceries. When he was all done, he started helping with my groceries. He introduced himself to me and told me he was the Pastor of Hilltop Family Church. I had not even heard of that church, but I instantly liked the man. If he invited me to church I don't remember. I was a member of another church and most likely would not have

gone. I'm glad I had that first meeting because from that day on I would see him many times and get to know him a little bit. As a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Pastor Conway was often there, asking the blessing on the meal at the luncheons, laughing, talking to everyone and being that larger than life person that we all came to know and love. I told him once not long ago at a luncheon that I had thought a lot about visiting Hilltop Church. He said, “Sure, come visit, if you like us come back, if you don't that is okay.” He hugged me and we laughed and I really had planned to go visit. Folks, always do what you say you are going to do. We have no assurances of tomorrow. Actually, I've been to Hilltop on other occasions. We've had two friends to die and their service was held there. Although Pastor Conway officiated at their funerals, other speakers did most of the funeral services. He didn't have to speak. His presence was there and that was comforting. My husband and I attended a Valentine dinner at Hilltop in 2013, which was a fundraiser for Liberty Lighthouse. We came there only knowing a few people. We sat at a table that no one else sat down at. A few people came by, said hello and then went on to another table with their friends. Then Pastor Conway came in and saw us sitting there alone. He came right over and asked if others had greeted us. We told them yes and then he left. However, he came back to our table, he and his wife sat with us, and he had others to sit there as well. We had a great meal and conversation. That is what Jesus would do, isn't it?

On another occasion, we were at Hilltop for the prayer breakfast in May. Many elected county officials were there, other pastors and many folks from other churches. As the host church, of course, Pastor Conway was spreading his usual friendly hospitality. That was one of the most inspiring events I believe I've ever attended. The presence of God's spirit was evident. I hope to go back there next year for the prayer breakfast. I believe we will feel another spirit there and it will be Pastor Johnnie Conway. The last time I saw this fine man was at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon on August 14 to welcome the new teachers. Several Springtown pastors had paid for the meal that day so it was free to all. The pastors were being thanked by Chamber President, Robert Moss. Pastor Conway made one of his usual funnies and said, “It wasn't his idea, it was the pastor of the church of Christ,” indicating he had been coerced into paying for the meals. Of course, we all laughed as I figure most of us knew it was Johnnie Conway's idea. God love him. He was beyond generous with his time, money and unselfish service to this community. Hilltop Family Church members will go on although there is a big hole in their hearts. Pastor Conway will be replaced with another pastor. I'm sure God will provide them with someone most suitable. No one will ever fill Johnnie Conway's shoes nor will they want to try. He left a big footprint in this community. Springtown is a better place because he was here.

Colonel Davy Crockett’s Texas exploits, Part 1

avy Crockett (17861836) was a masterful storyteller, and a self-taught one. After a colorful ten-year career as a U. S. Representative from Tennessee, he headed for Texas in 1835, looking for land and a new start. By March of 1836 he was dead, one of the first to die in defense of the Texas Revolution at the Alamo. His autobiography, while written in the entertaining tall-tale style, is considered a reliable source by most historians. The Siege of the Alamo “I write this on the nineteenth of February, 1836, at San Antonio. We are all in high spirits, though we are rather short of provisions, for men who have appetites that could digest any thing but oppression; but no matter, we have

a prospect of soon getting our bellies full of fighting, and that is victuals and drink to a true patriot any day. “We had a little sort of convivial party last evening; just about a dozen of us set to work, most patriotically, to see whether we could not get rid of that curse of the land, whiskey, and we made considerable progress; but my poor friend, Thimblerig, got sewed up just about as tight as the eyelet-hole in a lady’s corset, and a little tighter too, I reckon; for when he went to bed he called for a bootjack, which was brought to him, and he bent down on his hands and knees, and very gravely pulled off his hat with it, for the darned critter was so thoroughly swiped that he didn’t know his head from his heels. But this wasn’t all the folly he committed; he pulled off his coat and laid it on the bed, and then hung himself over the back of a chair; and I wish

I may be shot if he didn’t go to sleep in that position, thinking every thing had been done according to Gunter’s late scale. Seeing the poor fellow completely used up, I HISTORICAL carried him to HIGHLIGHTS bed, though he did belong Laurie Moseley to the Temperance society; and he knew nothing about what had occurred until I told him the next morning. The Bee hunter didn’t join us in the blow-out. Indeed, he will seldom drink more than just enough to prevent his being called a total ab-

stinence man. But then he is the most jovial fellow for a water drinker I ever did see. “This morning I saw a caravan of about fifty mules passing by Bexer, and bound for Santa Fe. They were loaded with different articles to such a degree that it was astonishing how they could travel at all, and they were nearly worn out by their labors. They were without bridle or halter, and yet proceeded with perfect regularity in a single line; and the owners of the caravan rode their mustangs with their enormous spurs, weighing at least a pound a piece, with rowels an inch and a half in length, and lever bits of the harshest description, able to break the jaws of their animals under a very gentle pressure. “The men were dressed in the costume of Mexicans. Colonel Travis sent out a guard to see that they were

not laden with munitions of war for the enemy. I went out with the party. The poor mules were bending under a burden of more than three hundred pounds, without including the panniers which were bound so tight as almost to stop the breath of the poor animal. Each of the sorrowful line came up, spontaneously, in turn to have his girth unbound and his load removed. “They seemed scarcely able to keep upon their feet, and as they successively obtained relief, one after another heaved a long deep sigh, which it was painful to hear, because it proved that the boor brutes had been worked beyond their strength. What a world of misery man inflicts upon the rest of creation in his brief passage through life!” Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

County processes Governor Saying “No” Perry after felony indictment without regret

ov. Rick Perry on Aug. 20 walked the block and a half from the G o v e r n o r ’s Mansion to the Travis County Courthouse, presented himself for arraignment by a state district judge and routine booking procedures, spoke at a five-minute press conference and left. Perry was indicted on Aug. 15 by a Travis County grand jury on felony charges of abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant. Perry entered a plea of not guilty to either charge. The charges stem from the governor’s veto of the Public Integrity Unit’s 2014-2015 budget in June 2013. The 35-employee unit, which serves as the state’s ethics-investigating body, is the direction of Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg. Perry said he would veto the agency’s budget unless Lehmberg resigned from her elected office. Lehmberg was arrested in Austin for drunken driving in April 2013. Photographs and video recordings of her condition immediately before, during and after her arrest were widely disseminated. She served a short jail sentence, publicly apologized, underwent counseling, returned to her post, and contrary to the governor’s wishes, refused to resign. Perry reacted with a line-item

Lady Porcupines clobber visitors to gym by mark k. campbell While things did not go great at a Glen Rose tournament, the Lady Porcupine volleyball team won its first two home matches of 2014. On Aug. 22, Springtown (98) swept Rio Vista 25-9, 25-11, 25-6. Brooklyn Dauenhauer shone with 9 kills, 14 assists, 4 aces, 3 digs, and a block. Brittany Stroud an Ashton Weaver killed 5 balls apiece. Sydney Farris carded 10 assists. Gabby Terry and Jazzmyn Mannin blocked a ball each. Coach Leighann Strickland said, “We focused and were able to keep consistent tempo

mer served 4 aces. Farris’ 13 assists was tops for Springtown. SHS evened its record in game 3 of Aug. 23 with a 2519, 23-25, 25-21 win over Waco University. Weaver brought the thunder with 13 kills. Dauenhauer led with 14 assists and Martin dug out 13 balls. Back home, Grandview fell at the SHS gym, 26-24, 25-16, 25-15. Stat leaders were Dauenhauer (15 kills), Farris (14 assists, 4 aces), and Weaver (2.5 blocks). Strickland said, “Everyone played well. We fixed our block and were able to get more touches that helped out defense.” NEXT UP – The Lady Porcupine varsity is headed south to Groesbeck for its final tournament of the season. Then, on Sept. 2, Springtown will travel to Saginaw to face Chisholm Trail. SHS will not play at home again until Tuesday, Sept. 16 when a series of four straight matches begins with Dublin. That fourth match is the 4-5A district opener against Castleberry on Sept. 26. FROSH – The 9th grade Lady Porcupines (3-2) swept Rio Vista 25-8, 25-7 and Grandview 25-20, 25-17.

better and develop a finishing mentality.” Another problem he witnessed, Hulett said, was some late-scrimmage weariness. “We’ve got to play through fatigue,” he said. SHS will field a senior-heavy squad this year with 25 on the 32-man opening night roster. Two of those twelfth graders – Tyler Hickman and Dillon Springfield – will quarterback with sophomore Kaleb Chesney, the coach noted. “Our staff is still figuring out kids and still making adjustments,” Hulett said. Many of those seniors are experienced and that helps, he said. The coach added that several juinors are battle tested, too. Hulett said that Decatur also has plenty of veteran athletes. “They have more depth and size than us,” the coach said, adding that Springtown will be smaller than any foe they face in 2014. “Decatur has quality, can run, and have tradition,” he said. About the Porcupines, Hulett said, “We still have a lot to do.” And that progress begins publicly Friday night.

Movie Man

Thursday, August 28, 2014

Latest graphic novel adaptation plenty graphic The follow up to 2005’s Sin City (Movie Man No. 606, a 5) took its time arriving. It’s finally here just over nine years later and, unfortunately, it suffers from the same woes of the original. About the film The first one wasn’t a colossal hit at $74.1 million. But it had its fanboy base and that grew via in-home viewing. This sequel is similar to the original with a couple of exceptions. One, it tanked huge at the box office. Two, the title is much longer: Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For. That’s far from the longest title ever, however. If you throw out documentaries, obscure foreign movies, and shorts, a few mainstream movies rank among the lengthiest. A doozy is Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines or How I flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours 11 Minutes. That was 1965. Another hails from 2006, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glorious Nation of Kazakhstan (MM #690, 7). The most critically loved long-titled movie is Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb in (1964). Another one that gave marquee builders headaches was Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (1999). A couple of others that gained some notoriety: Who Is Harry Kellerman and Why is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me? (1971) and The Assassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford (2007, probably the least seen Brad Pitt movie). Fans of weirdo Sixties movies (like the Movie Man) are fond of The Incredibly Strange

Creatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zombies (1964). The “official” record holder for longest title is intentionally stupid: Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Hellbound, Flesh-Eating, Subhumanoid Zombified Living Dead, Part 2: In Shocking 2-D (1991). All these titles make Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For seem piddling, admittedly. It’s one of those titles that has a prominent creator – writer, director, etc. – in the title; director John Carpenter is famed for this. Miller is as beloved by fanboys as Joss Whedon and J.J. Abrams. Miller gained nerd fame when he penned popular Batman comic stories back in the 1980’s. He was also behind the film misfires Robocop 2 (1990) and 3 (1993) and he wrote the graphic novel that was turned into the hit 300 (2006, MM#708, 6). Its sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire (2014, MM #1,079, 7), was also based on one of Miller’s graphic efforts. In 2008, folks (including the Movie Man) had high hopes for The Spirit (MM #805, 3). Miller wrote that screenplay, but it suffered from the same malady that the Sin Citys suffer from: They look cool but just end up being completely forgettable. Miller had a hand in directing a trio of movies – Spirit and the Sin Citys – that perform better on the page than the screen. The plot There are actually three threads of plots weaving around here, some of them prequels to the original movie. (That hardly matters when watching it, however.) Basin City is scummy and these tales revolve around the even scummier parts of town. Marv (Mickey Rourke) is a

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man beast of a bouncer who protects stripper Nancy (Jessica Alba) who is angry at senator Roark (Powers Boothe) for killing the only person she ever loved, Hartigan (Bruce Willis). Johnny (Joseph GordonLevitt) is the luckiest guy in the world at gambling, something he plans on using to get to Roark. Dwight (Josh Brolin) can’t shake the lure of Ava (Eva Green) who manipulates men with her sensuality to get whatever she wants – including investigating cop Mort (Christopher Meloni) – with loyal henchman Manute (Dennis Haysbert) always there to protect her. Characters ebb and flow, popping up then disappearing before joining together for some serious havoc. What works As expected, this movie looks great. It mimics the look of a black-and-white graphic comic with occasional startling splashes of red or other colors. The dialogue is intentionally smarmy and campy – the entire film is a take-off on the film noir moviemaking style from the 1940s. Many static scenes – mirroring comic book panels – look fantastic including a stack of gambler’s coins that resemble

a cityscape and the hulking Roark wandering around in the midst of gunfire and mayhem. Boothe as the senator is far and away the top dog in the acting category. He’s straight-up evil and clearly revels in it. Best scene (spoiler) Boothe’s Roark is not happy that Gordon-Levitt’s Johnny has not only defeated him in his secret poker game but flatout humiliated him. So Roark, in his long limo, screeches up and snatches Johnny. Inside the car, very bad things happen to the cocky Johnny. (He ends up having to visit a back alley doctor played by Christopher

Lloyd.) look good – it’s gotta deliver There’s intensity in this scene more. that does not show up again, And Frank Miller’s Sin City: sadly. A Dame to Kill For fails, long title or not.
