GUNFIGHT!

The good guys (right) win again, but it takes a gunfight – a really loud gunfight judging from the bevy of covered ears – to take out the bad guys. The 31st Wild West Festival brought hundreds of folks to town where they jammed the Square. SEE STORY, PHOTOS ON 2A! Photo by Natalie Gentry

Anonymous tip leads to multiple drug arrests Five people were arrested Sept. 14 at a home just outside Springtown after a tip led law enforcement there to investigate. Undercover officers with the Weatherford-Parker County Special Crimes Unit approached a residence in the 800 block of Lynch Bend Road to acquire additional information about the investigation stemming from an anonymous Crime Stoppers Tip. SCU members spoke with a woman identified as Gayla Eugenia Hammons, 54, of Springtown, who was unfamiliar with the investigators, but struck up an open conversation about narcotics that resulted in the sale of methamphetamine to the officers. Two adults, identified as Samantha Louise Bozeman, 24, of Azle, and Daniel Wayne Pack, 26, of Decatur, along with a juvenile male arrived at the residence a short time later. During the investigation, SCU members discovered those suspects had made marijuana available to the minor. Bozeman and Pack implicated themselves to investigators, saying they gave money to the minor to purchase marijuana for them from Jerry Wayne Hammons, 21, of Springtown, who was inside the residence. Another woman, identified as Cheyanne McConnell, 18, of Springtown, was also discovered inside the home.

The investigation continued as SCU members spoke with McConnell and Jerry Hammons, finding enough evidence to obtain and execute a search warrant for the residence. As a result of the search warrant, SCU investigators seized drug paraphernalia discovered throughout McConnell’s and Jerry Hammons’ bedroom. SCU investigators also seized plastic baggies and digital scales, commonly used in the sale and distribution of narcotics, along with 6.5 grams of Alprazolam (Xanax), 2.2 grams of cocaine, 3.45 ounces of marijuana and 5.5 grams of MDMA (ecstasy), pipes and bongs found inside the residence. SCU investigators additionally seized 260 grams of suspected liquid codeine. Charges are pending laboratory results. Everyone was arrested. Jerry Hammons was charged with engaging in organized criminal activity, delivery of marijuana to a minor, manufacturing delivery of a controlled substance (possession of cocaine with intent to deliver), manufacture/delivery of a controlled substance (possession of MDMA with intent to deliver), possession of marijuana, and possession of a controlled substance (Alprazolam). Gayla Hammons was charged with

manufacturing/delivery of a controlled substance. McConnell was charged with manufacturing/delivery of a controlled substance (possession of cocaine with intent to deliver), manufacturing/delivery of a controlled substance (possession of MDMA with intent to deliver), possession of marijuana, and possession of a controlled substance (Alprazolam). Bozeman and Pack were each charged with engaging in organized criminal activity (delivery of marijuana to a minor). The juvenile was released to the custody of his parents. Charges are being sought against him. Samantha Louise Bozeman

Buy Homecoming tickets online now BY MARK K. CAMPBELL A few years ago, football fans could buy tickets in advance. That stopped recently and some people have asked it to return. So, Carl Hornback, stadium facilities director, is gearing up to bring back advance purchases for varsity games – and it starts this Friday for the Homecoming game against Vernon. He said, “Ticket sales will be open from Monday at 8 a.m. until Friday at noon.” After a patron buys tickets online, a receipt is produced. Purchasers then bring that receipt to the main home gate on the west side of the stadium. “I will run a report and leave it at the game,” Hornback said. “All they have to do is walk up to the gate, tell the gate keep who they are, and that they bought their tickets online.” The person at the gate will check the report and cross them off. “They may be asked to show an ID, so Porcupines current and former followed the Sept. 21 Homecoming Parade that meandered to the old they should be prepared for that,” Hornfootball stadium where the traditional Lighting of the Letters brought cheers. Photo by Mark K. Campbell back said.

Tickets will be listed under the name of the credit card holder that made the purchase. “So, if it’s a different name claiming the tickets, they will need to know the name on the credit card that was used for the purchase,” Hornback said. With that system, losing or forgetting the receipt will not be a problem, he noted. Online sales will hopefully relieve entry bottlenecks, Hornback said. Buy online at www.porcupinestadium.com under “Buy tickets.” Other premium tickets remain available that will not be available online. Reserved seats – with chair backs in the middle of the home stands – can be bought at the main and northwest booths for $7. That’s what season ticket holders pay. There is a limited number of them, Hornback said, “about 20.” They are available on a first-come, first-served basis. Credit and debit cards are accepted at those two booths.

Wild West Festival celebrates 31 years BY NATALIE GENTRY According to everyone involved, the 31st Annual Wild West Festival was a big hit. “I think it was a huge success,” Director of the Springtown Chamber of Commerce Amy Walker said. “Although we were a little worried with the obstacles we faced this year, like the Walnut Creek project, it all came together.” Despite a morning shower, approximately 200 vendors, concessions, and children’s area booths were set up in and around the Springtown Tabernacle. Most of the vendors told us they had great days,” Walker said. “And we had quite a few new vendors this year, which is always a good thing.” Some of the new booths included Tony’s Turtles and Reptiles and HipPop Popcicles. “One of our newest vendors told me she had heard she needed to come out here for a few years and it was great,” Walker said. Many of the vendors praised the volunteers and the way everything was organized. There was a little something for everybody including cowboy hats, jewelry, clothing, home decor, skin care, homemade soaps, wood crafts, sauc-

es, and jellies among others. The show must go on The event kicked off with the annual parade. Although a rain shower began right as the parade started, nothing could dampen the overall good mood and there was no shortage of participants. As always, the World Famous “Wheelie-ing Elvi” minimotorcyclists were crowdpleasers, with their bejeweled jumpsuits and pompadour hairdos à la Elvis Presley. In addition, an aerial drone – provided by Jerry’s GM – captured the action, including the passing of a DeLorean, a pink tractor with eyelashes, the SHS football teams, and Springtown police officers. “Tons of people said it was the best parade ever,” Walker said. The line up In addition to the parade, certain events are guaranteed crowd pleasers. The “Legends of Texas” gunfighters always draw a crowd with their combination of western wit and slapstick comedy. As always, the John Conway Children’s Area was packed all day as well. This year saw some new ac-

Another competition was the Wild Wild Whiskers event. Contestants entered the event to show off their facial hair flair; including competitors who traveled from as far as Frisco especially for the event. Winners from the five categories include: • Full beard – Roy Grissom of Crowley. • Moustache – Jonathan Root of Frisco. • Kids Beard – Chloe Morrow of Springtown. • Partial beard – Larry Burdette of Springtown. There were no competitors in the Short beard and Freestyle categories this year. Roy Grissom was declared Grand Champion for the second year in a row. All proceeds from the competition are going to the Friends of the Library organization this

year and t-shirts will continue to be sold for the next couple of weeks. No-shave November is just around the corner. This might be a perfect time for enterprising locals to get a head start for next year’s whisker competition. The community at heart “I think the success of the festival is due to everyone coming together and supporting the event,” Walker said. “There was just a positive energy that just made everything possible. “The city personnel were absolutely wonderful; every time I saw them they were doing something to help. I can’t even say how much we appreciate them.” Now that this year’s festival is over, Walker and the rest of the organizers already have their sights set on next year and beyond. “One thing we really have to start thinking about is that sometime in 2017 the FM 51 bridge project is scheduled to begin,” Walker said. “From what we hear, the entire road near the Square is going to be torn up. “So options for 2017 are something we have to start thinking in addition to preparations for next year.”

Here comes the sun...or rain SISD installs WeatherBug station BY NATALIE GENTRY Students in the Springtown Independent School District (SISD) have a new tool to help them keep track of and learn about the changing seasons in North Texas. An exterior WeatherBug station has been installed at Porcupine Stadium on the concession stand roof. “We had the weather station installed at the stadium last week,” said Athletic Facilities Director Carl Hornback. The weather station has an anemometer, udometer (rain gauge), barometer, and a lightning detector. It gathers and displays

information such as temperature, wind direction, and wind chill factor. “The weather station will constantly pump out real time data to the WeatherBug app,” Hornback said, “so community members can download the WeatherBug app and point it to SISD porcupine stadium. “It also allows stations like News 8 to gather real weather data from Springtown and report it on the news.” The data displayed is coming straight out of that weather station in real time. There is a curriculum to use in science and other classes to study the weather. The weather station also features a detection system which

calculates the possibility of a lightning strike. “In the past we were relying upon other lightning detectors that are ‘in the network’ to triangulate and predict distances from the stadium, Hornback said. “Now we get an actual radius of a lightning strike from the stadium – it will better protect our athletes, officials, and fans.” WeatherBug manages and operates the largest global weather network and provides both consumer and professional services.

Traveler’s diarrhea is a condition characterized by loose stools and abdominal cramping that often occurs from eating or drinking contaminated food or water. This may also sometimes occur in those who travel to new places where the sanitary conditions are different from the person’s home environment. Sometimes nausea, vomiting, and fever can accompany diarrhea as well. Traveler’s diarrhea usually starts upon arrival at the new destination or after one reaches home. This unpleasant * condition will usually go away on its own after one or two days. In the event that the diarrhea causes severe dehydration or bloody stools, it may be severe enough to require medical attention.

In the event that the diarrhea does not resolve on its own, there are some medications available to help the symptoms of the condition. Loperamide (Imodium A-D) and diphenoxlate (Lomotil) help reduce the cramping sensation in the stomach to limit diarrhea and allow for nutritional absorption. These medications should be * avoided if the diarrhea is associated with an infection with high fever and bloody stools. Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto Bismol) is an over-the counter option that can reduce diarrhea and may help with an upset stomach. An antibiotic may be prescribed to help kill or reduce the bacteria causing the infection.

Garden of Hope dedicates orchard Rev. Jane Mar (Bishop Assistant, Northern Texas – Northern Louisiana Mission Area for the Evangelical Lutheran Church in America) presided over the Sept. 19 ceremony dedicating the new orchard addition to the community Garden of Hope. Dubbed “Sarah’s Orchard,” the name pays tribute to majority contributor Mrs. Helen Richards, who asked that the orchard be named in honor of her sister, officials said. Richards provided much of the funds to plant and irrigate the fruit trees and berry patch. Richards was born in 1916 to Celia and Hyman Karasic, who immigrated to America from Russia. She married Jobe H. Richards, Jr. after World War II in the late 1940’s and moved to Ft. Worth. She was the youngest of seven siblings and passed Sept. 21, 2014, shortly after making the donation, at age 98. The orchard will not productively bear fruit for another three or four years, officials noted. When the trees do begin to bear, the Garden of Hope Association (GoHA) expects to deliver large quantities to social service partners, and sell at local farmers’ markets. GoHA President Frank Swehosky said, “We are considering holding ‘up-pickem’ days, where we would invite the community to pick fruit for a nominal fee and the proceeds would be shared between the garden and our social service partners.

“We think the orchard will eventually produce more than 6,000 pounds of fruit per year.” The executive staff selected

Recently, the Hope Lutheran pomegranates. mid-fall. Church Council approved the orchard extension plan for an additional five pecan trees, which will be planted later this fall.

So far in 2015, the GoHA has donated over 500 pounds of fruits and vegetables to area food pantries and shelters. Also, a silent auction of honey produced from GoHA hives raised $155 that will be shared among the garden, pantries and shelters. www.edwardjones.com

Obituaries Stokes on quakes, Railroad Commission: Helen Sue Brown 2015

‘Our only voice is our vote’ BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Twice now, Texas Railroad Commission examiners have contradicted the research and conclusions of a team of scientists led by Southern Methodist University. In August, TRC examiners recommended a disposal well operated by XTO Energy, a subsidiary of ExxonMobil, be allowed to continue operating in spite of the SMU team’s finding that the well’s operation likely played a role in causing a swarm of earthquakes in the Azle and Reno area late 2013 to early 2014. The second well identified in a study published in Nature Communications by the SMU team is operated by EnerVest,

an oil and gas company based in Houston. Now, TRC examiners have said there is insufficient evidence that oil and gas activity caused the quakes and recommended EnerVest’s well also be permitted to continue operation. Meanwhile, Reno Mayor Lynda Stokes wonders when the next earthquake will occur. Yet, she says she’s not surprised in the least. “You know, we have an unbiased study researched by experts – scientists – but the Railroad Commission brings in their own people with their own bias with information they paid for, and that’s the

one we’re going to go by?” Stokes said. “It’s a giant slap in the face to all Texans.” Stokes believes there are ways to recycle the waste water generated by gas well operations, but “it’s expensive and they don’t want to do it.” So that water is injected into the earth, where, in places like Reno and Azle, fault lines slip due to injection on one side and extraction on the other, she said. She also wonders about the quality – and quantity – of groundwater as a result of waste water injection. “What going to happen when we turn on the tap and nothing comes out?” Stokes asked. “We need water – we

can’t live without it. We could live without oil and gas if we have to.” Calling the hearings that led to the TRC’s decision to allow the XTO and EnerVest wells to continue to operate a farce, Stokes says she’s “absolutely furious.” “We should all remember exactly this when it’s time to elect Railroad Commissioners again,” Stokes said, adding that the damage they can do between now and then is enormous. “Our only voice is our vote. An SMU spokesperson said, “SMU’s seismology team stands by its research and does not comment on public policy.”

EDITORIAL

Officials need to act quickly to stop unregulated gunfire There are guns being fired so close to an elementary school that teachers hurry to get children inside for safety. Yes, that’s right: Guns are being fired close to an elementary school! And there’s an unregulated, homemade gun range that has bullets flying throughout Reno. If ever a situation needed immediate remedy, it’s this gunfire problem that, sadly, is begging for a tragedy to occur. Town officials said all the right things at a Sept. 14 council meeting. Right now, there is no ordinance that regulates the discharge of firearms within city limits. But they’re checking into it. The situation is so dire that Springtown ISD Superintendent Mike Kelley spoke to the assembled townsfolk and officials, telling them, “We have to make sure our children are protected.” A school superintendent is having to ask city administrators to make sure bullets don’t fly toward an elementary school. Yes, that’s right: To make sure bullets don’t fly toward an elementary school! Reno Mayor Lynda Stokes said gunfire concerns are nothing new to the area. In the vicinity of the crude gun range, one animal, a ram, has already been killed and the mayor herself said she had a horse shot previously. City Administrator and Director of Public Safety Joe Polino said city officials are investigating concerns not only about the ram being killed but bullets flying across property lines. Stokes said she is researching berms – a provision that BriarReno Volunteer Fire Department Chief Shannon Smithers endorses. The mayor also is checking out acreage requirements and has contacted the National Rifle Association about gun ranges. All this information gathering is well and good. But action on this needs to be put on the fastest track, because gunfire is forcing schoolchildren inside. Yes, that’s right: Gunfire is forcing schoolchildren inside! This amateur gun range is a hazard and flat-out dangerous. Reno needs to act as quickly as possible to make sure that no tragedy occurs. Certainly, it takes a while to get things moving when it comes to governmental ordinances and regulations. But this is an incidence of necessary expedience. Officials should call in every chit or favor they have tucked away and should be working into the dead of night. The majority of Reno residents in attendance at the meeting agreed that they want to see action on the unregulated gunfire peppering their town. Here’s a chance for Reno’s leaders – Stokes, Polino, and Smithers – to show citizens that they made the right call by putting them in power. Make it happen! Because: Guns are being fired near an elementary school! MKC

Sometimes the juice is just not worth the squeeze

hile recently listening to one of my favorite podcasts, I heard an unfamiliar phrase. The podcaster was talking about how he wanted to share with his audience the really powerful and helpful content of another podcaster, but he determined not to do so because the other person used so much profanity in his presentation. When the first one weighed the benefits of the content to his audience against the risk of the profanity offending his audience (and possibly causing him to lose listeners), he determined not to share. He said, “The juice wasn’t worth the squeeze.” I had never heard that phrase before, but it really spoke to me. I wish more people, churches, organizations, and businesses would weigh the benefits (juice) against the cost (squeeze) before they make decisions. When I say “cost,” I’m not simply talking about finances. I’m also talking about reputation (how others perceive us), influence (if others listen to us), longevity (how long we desire to be a part of the discussion), and effectiveness (if our input really matters). I think about those individuals and

groups who hang their hats on one political issue or agenda. For a lobbyist, the juice may indeed be worth the squeeze. For a church or non-profit organization who decides to LIFE MATTERS address moral issues as if Gerry Lewis they are political or political issues as if they are moral…well, maybe not. Of course, like my influential podcaster, each of us must determine for ourselves whether the juice is worth the squeeze. I don’t get to make that decision for someone else or for another group. On a fairly regular basis, I get invited to attend, participate in, publicize, or organize meetings or rallies promoting some cause. I don’t get to tell people that their cause is not worth promoting. I do get to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze as far as my personal participation is concerned.

I’ve thought of a couple of processing questions to help me determine, on a case-by-case basis, if the juice is worth the squeeze. 1. What will participation in this cost me in terms of reputation, influence, longevity, and effectiveness? If I identify with this cause or ideology, what opportunities will I lose to speak into other issues? What kind of Pandora’s box will I open if I go there? 2. What will it cost me if I don’t participate in this? Is it so central to my personal values or to the well-being of my community that it is worth whatever consequences may come? Does my identity as a Christ-follower who believes that the Bible is God’s absolutely true and trustworthy written revelation of Himself require my participation? You will have to determine your own process. If mine is a helpful template, you are welcome to it. This I know: our lives matter to God. He proved that at great personal cost. Jesus believes we are worth the squeeze. Azle resident Dr. Gerry Lewis is director of missions for the Harvest Baptist Association, which is headquartered in Decatur.

Samuel Augustus Maverick: Part 2 – Texas land baron

averick signed the Texas Declaration of Independence the following day, and remained at the convention to help draft the new Texas constitution. Despite his efforts, the new constitution rendered his land claims after August 20 invalid, but it also provided land grants to each resident as of March 2. On March 16, the convention adjourned, having completed a constitution and elected an interim government. While serving there, Maverickcontracted a severe attack of chills and fever. After the delegates dispersed, he made his way to Nacogdoches; then, ill and aware that he was needed on family business, he departed for Alabama about the time of Sam Houston's victory at San Jacinto. Maverick traveled with another delegate to Nacogdoches, where he remained for several weeks while suffering from an illness. After recovering, he returned to Alabama to help his sister. In Alabama, Maverick met Mary

When he returned permanently to San Antonio with his family, Maverick left a small herd of cattle originally purchased in 1847 on Matagorda Peninsula with slave caretakers. It was this herd that was allowed to wander and gave rise to the term maverick, which denotes an unbranded calf. In

1854 Maverick and his two eldest sons rounded up the cattle and drove them to their Conquista Ranch near the site of present Floresville before selling them in 1856. During the years between Maverick's return to San Antonio and his death, he expanded his West Texas landholdings, which in 1851 totaled almost 140,000 acres. By 1864 they had burgeoned to more than 278,000 acres, and at his death they topped 300,000. Maverick gained land primarily by buying such land certificates as headright certificates and bounty and donation certificates. In the 1850s and 1860s he was one of the two biggest investors in West Texas acreage, and Maverick County was named in his honor. He served as a Democrat in the Fourth through Ninth state legislatures (1851–63). There he worked to ensure equal opportunity for his Mexican and German constituents, to foster fair and liberal laws for land acquisition and ownership, to develop transportation and other internal state improvements, to provide protection for the frontier,

The couple divided their time betweenAlabama and Pendleton until late 1837, when, with their first-born, Samuel Maverick, Jr., and a small retinue of slaves, they started for Texas. In June 1838 they established a home in San Antonio. Maverick obtained his Texas law license, engaged in West Texas land speculation, and served as the city's mayor in 1839. He followed his term as mayor with a term as treasurer and continued to serve on the city council until the Mavericks joined the “Runaway of ‘42,” a move based on rumors of pending Mexican invasion of San Antonio. They settled temporarily near Gonzales, but Maverick returned to San Antonio for the fall term of district court and was one of the prisoners taken by Mexican general Adrián Woll.

He also worked until the outbreak of the Civil War to stem the tide of secessionism, but, seeing that a conflict was inevitable, threw his support to the Confederacy. He was one of three secession commissioners appointed by the Texas Secession Convention, and the three successfully effected the removal of federal troops and the transfer of federal stores in Texas to the state government. During the war he was elected chief justice of Bexar County and served a second term as San Antonio mayor. After the war he received a presidential pardon and was active in attempts to combat the radical Republican regime in Reconstruction Texas. He died on September 2, 1870, after a brief illness. Surviving him were his wife and five of his 10 children. Maverick, an Episcopalian, was buried in SanAntonio's City Cemetery Number 1.

OPINION

Springtown Epigraph Thursday, September 24, 2015

American Community Survey updates poverty statistics Texas’ poverty rate improved to 17.2 percent in 2014, according to U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey released Sept. 17. Embedded in that statistic is this: more than 4.5 million Texans – 1.7 million of whom are children – still live in poverty. In 2014, the poverty line for a family of three was about $19,000 per year. Austin-based Center for Public Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan research and advocacy organization, said the poverty rate for Texas children of 24.6 percent remained unchanged from the previous year. “Although the state is growing, too many Texans struggle every day to make ends meet,” Jennifer Lee of the Center for Public Policy Priorities said. “High levels of child poverty continue to undermine our state economy and affect the future prosperity of our state,” she added. Other points made by the Center, based on the Census Bureau data: • Rapid economic growth in Texas cities and reflected in population growth, new construction, and increasing home values, has outpaced growth in Texans’ paychecks. • Median household income rose only slightly to $53,035. Income inequality is persistent in Texas. If Texas were made up of five people collectively earning $100, the highest-earning person would earn more than $51 while the lowest-earner would make $3.14 and the Texan in the middle earns $14. • Education levels and poverty are closely connected, under-

scoring the importance of educating the next generation of Texans for the s t a t e ’s future prosperity. Some STATE 28.5 perCAPITAL cent of T e x a n s HIGHLIGHTS without a high Ed Sterling school diploma lived in poverty, compared to 10 percent of those with some college education and only 4.5 percent for those with a bachelor’s degree. No one need go hungry Texas Department of Agriculture is encouraging Texans in need to apply for assistance through the U.S. Department of Agriculture-funded Child and Adult Care Food Program. About 13,000 adult and child care centers and home-based day cares in Texas are serving free or reduced-price meals through the program. Helpful information can be found at www.squaremeals.org. Unemployment rate drops Texas Workforce Commission on Sept. 18 announced Texas’ seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell to 4.1 percent in August, the lowest rate of unemployment for Texas since January of 2001. The national unemployment rate was at 5.1 percent in August, ac-

cording to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Leisure and Hospitality led all major industries in Texas with an expansion of 5,900 jobs in August. The Professional and Business Services industry added 4,000 positions over the month, and Construction gained 3,200 jobs in August. Other Services, which includes religious and civic organizations, personal services and repair businesses, added 600 jobs in August. Texas Workforce Commission Chair Andres Alcantar said the state’s low unemployment rate “demonstrates the resilience and strength of the Texas economy.” Texas earns top rating A 2015 Global Location Trends Facts & Figures report by IBM ranks Texas the No. 1 state in the U.S. for foreign and domestic investment, based on number of jobs. Released last week, the report examines what drives companies to relocate or locate new operations and facilities around the world. Gov. Greg Abbott on Sept. 15 commented on the report, saying: “Texas is a state best characterized by its competitive advantage in diversity of talent, market and economic resources and it's no surprise we’ve again been named a top state for investment.” Child seats emphasized Texas Department of Transportation last week reported that in 2014, crashes on Texas roads killed 81 children younger than 8 years of age. In 2013

the death toll for children in the same age bracket was 67. Texas law requires all children under 8 years old, unless they are taller than 4 feet 9 inches, to be in a child safety seat whenever they ride in a passenger vehicle. Failure to properly restrain a child can result in a ticket up to $250. TxDOT conducted free child safety seat checks at the agency’s 25 statewide district offices as part of national Child Passenger Safety Week, Sept. 13-19. Houston is added to list U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Sept. 15 announced the adding of Houston and Chicago to the federal agency’s Domestic Nuclear Detection Office’s Securing the Cities program. The program reportedly is designed to help detect radiological and nuclear threats and protect major metropolitan areas against terrorist attacks. According to Census Bureau 2014 estimates, Houston, at 2.24 million people, is the nation’s fourth-largest city. Chicago, rated third largest, had a population of 2.72 million in 2014. On Sept. 15 Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw said the program “offers state and local agencies vital resources to help prepare in protecting against radiological or nuclear terrorist attacks.”

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR Kudos to WWF workers from the mayor I wanted to take a minute to comment on what a great success the Springtown Wild West Festival 2015 was this year, what a great time had by all.

So many did so much behind the scenes to help make the day

what it was – not for recognition, but just for the love of our community. Thank you to all the volunteers and city employees that helped to make the day a success for without their invaluable help it wouldn't have been possible. Thank you to the Springtown Chamber of Commerce leadership: Mary Harms, Amy Walker, Michelle Deweese, Damon Liles, and Robert Moss for putting this all together and making it successful for Springtown year after year. Sound is so important and a must for any event to be successful. Thank you, David Ward, for the music and mak-

Also, a big thank you to Commissioner George Conley for overseeing and coordinating what seems to be not only a flawless, but the largest Wild West Festival Parade to date as well as your continuing support and commitment to Springtown. This day, as it should be, is all about community and everybody working together and putting Springtown first. I pray that we can continue to keep the spirit of community, being inclusive and working together throughout the years to come; you can always count

The rest are watered down drugs manufactured for adults. The National Health Institute donates less than 4 percent to the many types of childhood cancer. Each cancer has many types. Leukemia for instance has numerous sub-types and can't be treated the same as they aren't the same leukemia. Brain tumors are the same. Respectfully Submitted, Jeri Geary

Springtown (13-11) ventured out on a pair of road games, falling to powerful Krum in three games then taking down Breckenridge in four. At Krum, SHS struggled to score against the state-ranked squad. Ashton Weaver’s 7 kills was tops for the Lady Porcupines. Sydney Farris got 11 of the team’s 12 assists. Mackensie Martin led with 10 digs followed by 8 from Karrah Cooper. Weaver has a super match against Breckenridge with 24 kills and 2 blocks. Springtown served 8 aces with Brittany Stroud leading with 3; Jill Ray and Farris both had a pair.

cluding the 5-4A opener against mighty Kennedale Oct. 9. The key to the postseason seeding will be the final two games in Oct., both at home. Springtown will host Alvarado Oct. 23 then Lake Worth Oct. 30. With a season finale against a lesser foe – Castleberry Nov. 6 – the die should be cast by then.

Next up Vernon

The Lions, a perennial power, sit 2-2 in 2015. The VHS season opened with two losses to stout squads: 42-7 to Graham and 41-22 to Altus, Oklahoma. But Vernon rebounded to beat Burkburnet 34-21 and last week the Lions treated Wichita Falls Hirschi about as rudely as Springtown did; Vernon beat the Huskies 45-0.

Clyde Bradshaw who only was off on two games. Second place and $10 was won by Wes Robinson for missing only three games. The logjam for the $5 third place cash was settled by a tiebreaker guess of 39 made by Paul Rayfield.

Too far off on their tie-breaker guesses were James Franklin (41), Jason Cobb (42), Blondie Robinson (45), Gail Franklin (45), and Lana Cobb (49). The contest should settle down into a more normal pattern with some bye dates passing.

BY MARK K. CAMPBELL It’s taken a lot of planning, but the first cross country race conducted in Springtown – perhaps ever since no one can remember another – is ready to take off. Actually, a “trial run” with around 200 middle school runners took place Wednesday Sept. 23 (results not available at press time). However, it’s the high school race that will bring some talented runners to Springtown Park. The school district and city have worked together to create the Springtown Scamper, said Carl Hornback, a key organizational member along with SHS head cross country coach Trent Davis. Hornback encourages folks to come out to the park and see something that most people probably have not seen – a cross country race. The event will begin at the main entrance by the pavilion. From there, racers will meander around the outskirts of the park, around the baseball field, and eventually end up on the football field where the finish line will be set up. All middle school athletes and high school girls will run two miles. With an added lap inside the park, boys race three miles. The park will be closed from 7 a.m. to noon this Saturday. The main shutdown will be in the parking areas to accommodate school buses. However, the disc golf will not be available during that span. But, Hornback said, everything should open back quickly after the racing is over.

SPRINGTOWN MIDDLE SCHOOL Volleyball Both SMS 8th grade squads evened their records at 1-1 with wins over Willkie. Earlier, Wayside had topped the 8th A but Willkie fell 24-11, 25-10 and “took care of business,” Coach Ashley Watson said. Hayley Carter served 4 aces, scoring 8 points and also had 4 assists. Also standing out were Rayell Allen (1 solo block), Jocie Burdzilauskas (3 kills), and Ashton

Parton (3 digs). The 8th B won 25-15, 27-25. “This was a good win for them to come back and beat them when we were behind,” the coach recalled. Lexi Horner led the way 5 points, 4 from aces. Samina Uddin’s 2 assists made her the top setter. Dakota Casselman killed 4 balls and solo blocked 2 more. Katy Turner dug out 2 balls and Cheyenne Appell passed 5 balls to target.

Football Six SMS squads opened the year against Willkie. SMS went 4-2. The 8th A won easily 46-12. Both the 8th B and 8th C posted shutouts. The former won 8-0 and the latter 16-0 The 7th A edged their Willkie counterparts 8-6. The 7th C has no problem posting a 22-0 victory. The weirdest score was SMS’ 7th B loss, 8-4. Yes, 8-4.

Thursday, September 24, 2015 Springtown Epigraph

Scorch Trials heats up young adult Maze series With The Hunger Games being the cinematic Young Adult gold standard (excluding the Harry Potter series which belongs to another untouchable galaxy and the insanely profitable Twilight films that folks can’t forget about fast enough), all others aimed at a teen audience seem to be piled up in a jumbled logjam. In that cinematic series pileup is The Maze Runner.

son (Aidan Gillen). When Aria (Jacob Lofland), a weird loner, contacts O’Brien, they discover a secret that makes the core group try to escape. They flee into the “Scorch” – a wasteland where the real world has been decimated. The group trudges from a devastating cityscape into a barren desert, heading to distant mountains where a revolutionary group may or may not be hiding. Along the way, the Gladers – O’Brien and his wanderers – must fight off ravenous mutants called Cranks, fast moving vampire/zombies that pass on their infection through bites. Just shy of the mountains, the O’Brien group staggers to refuge in a bunker run by Jorge (Giancarlo Esposito) and Brenda (Rosa Salazar). The group finds the revolutionaries, but a betrayal leads Gillen and the rest of the WCKD to the secret location – where it goes very badly for everyone. Only a few good guys remain free and, in the conclusion of the movie that sets up the series finale, they decide, led by O’Brien, to head back to the near-impenetrable WCKD headquarters to rescue their buddies.

About the film The first Maze Runner (2014, Movie Man No. 1105, a 6) had its moments but was hardly memorable (just like most young adult adaptations). While the original didn’t light up the box office – it made $102.4 million, enough to green light, The Scorch Trials, the second of three movies – it did better than a lot of YA series films. Hopes for big money from YA series faltered quickly when some well-read books croaked at the box office: The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013, $31.2 million); Inkheart ($17.3 million); and Vampire Academy (2014, $7.8 million). None of these successful book series got movie sequels. One YA success that did get two movies while not exactly What works (spoiler) In the lead, O’Brien is very knocking it out of the park was Percy Jackson. The first one, good. He’s athletic and carries Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief made $88.8 million in 2010 despite that ridiculously long title.

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man the movie. Gillen and Esposito are also exceptional in pivotal roles. Another plus is the solid direction by Wes Ball. He helmed the first one and will end the series as the director, too. Having the same guiding hand all the way along is rare for a movie series and it helps Maze Runner. The Cranks are creepy, roaring out of the dark with black gook flowing from their mouths. They are relentless and wreak some havoc. The effects look good, everything from the kids in suspended animation hooked up for their blood which offers a cure to the barren cities and landscapes.

Best scene (spoiler) O’Brien and Salazar are seeking a mysterious underworld figure when they come upon a party in a ratty city. Blondie (the great Alan Tudyk) decides who gets entry beyond the tent flap to the shindig inside, but he insists they drink a queer colored liquid to pass. O’Brien hesitates; Salazar chugs it down. Then so does O’Brien. Inside, the party is a demented, drug-fueled miasma of writhing bodies and numbed

dancers. Doped up too, O’Brien begins losing his touch on reality and flashing back to disconcerting events from his childhood. It’s a PG-13 version of that crazy party scene (you know if you’ve seen it) in Eyes Wide Shut (1999, MM #296, 3) – unsettling and eerie.

The rating While the Movie Man was perturbed that someone had brought a 3-year-old girl to such a film, the PG-13 is OK with its mild language, action, and mild gore. But those monsters push to toward the far end of the rating – especially with a little girl in attendance.

What doesn’t work If you had a dollar every time someone says “run!” in this movie, you’d get the cost of admission back in about 20 minutes. It would make a serious drinking game. Along with all that running is jittery camera work that gets old fast. The new characters don’t get much of an introduction, especially Vince (Barry Pepper), a revolutionary leader. The ending is a mess. If WCKD has all that amazing flying firepower, it’s hard to believe they couldn’t find the revolutionaries – with a camp right out in the open! –without help. And the following firefight is confusing and poorly done.

Summing up The Movie Man will head to The Death Cure in a couple of years. The Maze Runner movies aren’t home runs, but they’re solid doubles.

Some Frogs have hooves TCU women’s equestrian team holds practice, events at local arena BY MISTY SHAW Did you know there are Horned Frogs with hooves running around in our backyard? That’s right – the Texas Christian University women’s equestrian team holds practice and events locally at a top-notch facility out on Jay Bird Lane between Springtown and Azle.

It’s a bit of a trek for the team, but TCU Equestrian Director and Head Coach Haley Schoolfield says the 45-minute drive from campus is well worth it. “It’s really nice – we’re so lucky to have this place,” says Schoolfield of the Turning Point Ranch facility, which the team has been leasing for the

last four years. Loved by locals Now in its tenth season, this championship Big 12 team has enjoyed consistent competitive success, buoyed in part by support from the local community. “People from Azle really do pop in and watch our competi-

tions,” which is of course encouraged, Schoolfield said. “We hosted the Big 12 championships here at Turning Point Ranch, and actually, a lot of people from the community helped out, and a lot of people turned up to watch,” Schoolfield added. “It went beautifully.” The team also utilizes nearby sources for their supply needs, adding to that sense of community. “We buy our feed from Springtown Feed; they’re awesome and we love them,” Schoolfield said. Although the team isn’t slated to host another Big 12 championship until 2018, they do hold regular season competitions at the local arena, usually five or six per season.

Practice makes perfect This year’s rather large team roster lists 39 young women, 13 of whom are new recruits, Schoolfield said. “We’re a very young team this year, and we’re excited,” she said. “We think it’s going to be a great year because we do have a lot of really strong returners, but we’re also looking forward to developing our newer squad members.” On top of their busy course schedules, these unique TCU athletes adhere to a rigorous training regimen at the ranch, where they come to practice several times a week. And all that practice really pays off, as the successful team Team members Carley Barnett (left) and Jordan Appel take a moment to cool out has earned numerous Big 12 after practice.

Heart attacks are killers. Warning signs are lifesavers.

Heart Attack: Warning Signs & What to Do Learning the warning signs for a heart attack just might save your life. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts for more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back. This discomfort can feel like pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain and often accompanies or follows shortness of breath. Discomfort in other areas of the body includes one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach. Also be aware of other symptoms such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or light-headedness. Act quickly when you notice the warning signs. Call 9-1-1 immediately if you experience symptoms.

a national championship for the Western team in 2008. Last season, the team had six student-athletes earn AllConference accolades in their respective disciplines. TCU riders compete in both Western and English events such as reigning, horsemanship, and hunt seat equitation over fences. “It takes a lot of hard work, but it pays off,” said freshman team member Haley Giddings. “Being a freshman, it was hard at first, but it’s so fun,” added fellow newcomer Olivia Cerino.

Schoolfield, who came to the team in June 2013, made school history by becoming TCU’s first Big 12 Coach of the Year. She says coaching really keeps her on her toes, “and that’s actually why I like this job, because no two days are the same.” Academics + athleticism In addition to their skills in the saddle, these student athletes are also recognized for their academic achievements. “Collegiate equestrian, or PLEASE SEE TCU, PAGE 2B.

Commercial Truck Wrecks

It’s easy to blame the driver when a big rig is involved in a wreck, but the truth is usually much more complex. When trucking company management cuts corners in training, equipment and maintenance, the rest of us pay the price. We represent local families in the Eagle Ford region who have seen loved ones hurt by these dangerous vehicles. If you or someone you love has been killed or injured in an commercial truck wreck, call us today for professional insight.
