First Square Deal deemed a success

by Natalie Gentry The inaugural Square Deal fundraiser on Oct. 18 was a hit.

According to Tabernacle committee member and Square Deal coordinator David Ward, the event was a success.

“It may not have been super crowded, but we exceeded our financial goals and expectations for the Tabernacle Fund, and that’s what it was all about.” Ward said. “For a first year, we did really well.”

Although the square wasn’t packed, Ward noted that there was a steady flow of event goers throughout the course of the day.

“Over the day we believe we had more than a hundred associated with the ‘I Hung Out and Cruised the Square’ reunion alone,” he said.

In addition both Woody Creek BBQ and B&B Burgers reported a great day of sales on Saturday.

The Friends of the Tabernacle celebrated various contributions to the fund during the donation presentation including a surprise $6,000 gift from

Dauenhauer Associates and North American Enterprises (NAE) and a surprise $1,000 donation from Diamond B Roofing and construction.

All in all, the event raised $14,171.

Fun and games The washer tournament came down to finalists Gary Shaw and Bryan Orms with the latter ultimately taking the championship.

Participants in the chili cook off arrived early and spent the majority of the day preparing their entries. After the judging – including a tie-breaker round – Jerry Lamb was presented with the grand prize.

In addition Karen Stinson conducted a yoga class on the north side of the Tabernacle and drew students of all ages – her youngest yogi being 6 years old.

ensemble marching, drill design and execution, and colorguard and visual reinforcement.

Next, the total points of the five judges are added together and divided by five for an average score.

The 10 highest scoring bands from prelims advance to finals.

During the finals competition, the same scoring format is used; however, the two marching judges switch with two of the music judges while one music judge remains the same.

This session of musical chairs basically creates a whole new contest.

One band for every five bands at Area advance to State.

Since Springtown’s Area will have a maximum of 24 bands, four bands will advance to the State competition on Nov. 3 at the Alamo Dome in San Antonio.

Briar VFD capt. sentenced to 8 years Reed convicted of indecency with a child by carla noah stutsman A long-time captain for the Briar Volunteer Fire Department was sentenced Oct. 16 to eight years in the state penitentiary for fondling a young boy with whom he attended church.

Travis Jerrad Reed, 33, was convicted of indecency with a child, a second-degree felony, earlier the same day.

According to a press release issued by the Tarrant County District Attorney’s (TCDA) Office, jurors deliberated for about an hour-and-a-half before convicting Reed, and another two hours before deciding his sentence.

In addition to his position with the Briar VFD, Reed also volunteered to help with the youth group at the Azle church, as well as other youth organizations in the Azle area.

As a Briar VFD member, he participated in Azle’s annual Homecoming Parade on Oct. 13 – just hours after the jury that decided his fate was seated.

Reed was tried in Criminal District Court 3 in Fort Worth, where Judge Robb Catalano presides.

TCDA prosecutors told the court Reed hosted a bonfire and sleepover at his home for several boys from church in the summer of 2011. After everyone went to sleep, Reed put his hand inside the sleeping bag of the boy, who was 11 years old at the time, and fondled him.

The boy testified that Reed also attempted to touch him in an inappropriate way on two other occasions.

The same boy and one other testified that Reed looked up their shorts during a martial arts class taught by Reed at the church.

“We hope that people who are in trusted positions and in positions of authority want to protect our children and we put trust in them,” said prosecutor Anndi Risinger. “In this case, the defendant used those positions to gain the trust of this child and his family, and he violated that trust in the worst possible way. This jury had a difficult job and we hope their verdict sends a message to this defendant and the community.”

An investigation into the young boy’s allegations led to Reed’s arrest on Oct. 23, 2012, by Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office (TCSO) deputies. Reed posted $7,500 bond and was released from the Tarrant County Jail the following day.

He was indicted by a Tarrant County grand jury on April 17, 2013.

According to a TCSO investigator, information obtained during a forensic interview with the victim in the case indicated that all three incidents occurred in 2011.

Reed, who is married with an infant child, faced two to 20 years in prison. He was taken into custody immediately after his conviction and must Travis Reed serve at least half his sentence before becoming eligible for parole.

Eureka Lodge raises scholarship funds Tim Hennessey was the winner of a Remington Deer Rifle during a scholarship fund raising raffle hosted by Eureka Masonic Lodge 371 in Springtown Saturday Oct. 18.

Traditionally Eureka Masonic Lodge has held fundraisers like this for scholarships to benefit college freshman for books and tuition.

The Lodge has awarded $54,000 to students entering college this year alone and is endeavoring to raise the amount Tim Hennessey to $55,000 this spring.

Parent class at GCE Goshen Creek Elementary School will be hosting a program on the first Monday of each month designed to share information, answer questions, and address any concerns that parents may have.

The meeting will begin with a brief address from an administrator, and then the group will split up by grade level where parents will have the opportu-

nity to talk with a teacher, find out what will be going on in class during the next month.

Plus parents can get spelling words for the next four weeks.

After 15 minutes the group will rotate so parents with multiple students may meet with each child’s teacher.

The entire program will last approximately 30- 45 minutes.

N2N children’s Christmas angel tree Food pantry focuses on SISD students in need

by Natalie Gentry The Neighbor to Neighbors Food Pantry has requested that each of the churches in the Springtown Independent School District take an active part in providing Christmas for the needy children in the school system.

In the past, one church has been the project’s sponsor; however the size of the district and the program has increased enough that N2N is asking for help from more area churches.

“Our churches are the backbone of our community and in the past have been there whenever Neighbors has asked for help,” Gladys Lackey, assistant

director of N2N, said. “Neighbors will enroll the children in the program.”

Eligible families must be clients of one of the food banks in the SISD area.

Qualifying guidelines are the same as those in place to receive food at the pantries.

Children should be enrolled in preschool through fourth grade in the SISD. “Springtown Children’s Angel Tree is a ‘needs based program,’” Lackey said. “Children’s pants, shirts, skirts, blouses, shoes, socks, and coats are what we consider needed items.”

In addition, Lackey noted that

N2N has partnered with Marine Corps Toys for Tots program, which furnishes each child with an age appropriate toy or game.

“In past years, we have placed 12 to 15 Christmas trees with names on them in local Springtown businesses,” Lackey said.

“We will continue that part of the process.

“We have had churches request to have their own for the members of their congregation.

The church would be responsible for the children on that tree,” she continued. “Neighbors is very grateful to have this help from our ministers.”

Parents or a household representative will need to have proof

of identification (state-issued ID, driver’s license); proof of residency such as a utility bill or rent receipt; employment information; monthly assistance information like food stamps or supplemental security income; and a birth certificate for each child.

Children whose parents live in Parker County and go to school in the SISD who are not food pantry clients can apply to the Salvation Army Angel Tree Program in Weatherford.

The same income guidelines apply.

Enrollments for the angel tree will be held at Neighbor to Neighbors Food Pantry beginning Nov. 6.

Fire safety and family history topics of next museum talk

By Natalie Gentry The next Springtown Legends Museum talk will feature David Ward on Oct. 30.

He will discuss fire safety as it pertains to the museum, and to those attending.

October is Fire Prevention Month, and this year’s theme is “Working Smoke Alarms Save Lives!”

Ward is a Certified Fire Protection Specialist (CFPS), and has been on the CFPS Board of Directors since 2009.

Ward’s grandfather, Clarence Ward, was one of the founders of the Springtown VFD, and served as chief for the first 25 years; 1948-1973.

Clarence began a family tradition of service to the community which Ward continues today.

“I got my start here in the volunteer fire service, and progressed through a successful nine-year career in the paid fire service,” Ward said. “I earned my bachelor’s degree in Fire Protection & Safety Engineering Technology from the School of Fire Protection and Safety at Oklahoma State University in

SISD Pink Out

1995, and I have worked mostly as a loss control consultant in the insurance sector ever since.”

Family history locally Clarence Ward worked as a blacksmith – at the location which is now Ward Welding – during the 1930s.

He bought the place and became owner of “C.L. Ward Blacksmith and Welding” in 1938.

It became Ward Welding Company around 1976, and Ward Welding & Supply, Inc. around 1980.

In addition, another ancestor, Joseph Ward, was considered one of the founders of Springtown because he was a surveyor and laid out the “Original Town of Springtown.”

The survey documents or deeds in the central part of town, all say “Joseph Ward Survey.”

In addition to the presentation, a scrapbook of the 1996 Poolville fire will be available for folks to look at.

That fire destroyed 58 homes and covered more than 16,000 acres.

Wanted: Sr. Christmas lunch sponsors

By Natalie Gentry The Springtown Education Foundation, in conjunction with the Springtown Chamber of Commerce has created festive sponsor levels to recognize the generosity of community members and businesses that donate

to the annual Senior Citizen Christmas Luncheon.

A $100 donation earns the Dasher level while a $200 sponsorship earns the Prancer level and $250 bumps the donor to the Comet level.

Sponsors who donate $500 will earn

the Cupid level and an $800 donation is the peak, the Rudolph level.

The luncheon will provide holiday meals for approximately 200 Springtown area senior citizens.

For more information contact the chamber at 817-220-7828.

Burning questions for outdoor fires During a burn ban, no burning of any type is allowed.However even when there isn’t a ban is in place, there are still some general rules residents are required to follow before outdoor burning.

• The City of Springtown has an ordinance against burning within city limits.

• Before burning be aware of wind direction and other weather conditions so that smoke and other pollutants will not

present a hazard to roads, landing strips, or navigable waters.

• Keep fires downwind of, or at least 300 feet away from, any neighboring structure that contains sensitive receptors.

• Begin burning no earlier than one hour after sunrise, end it the same day no later than one hour before sunset, and make sure that a responsible party is present while the burn is active and the

Leading by a steadfast example: We can do better

S

ometimes you meet someone who really lived life.

That was David Brown, who died of pancreatic cancer and was buried Oct. 20.

His life, in only 67 years, was a template for everyone: Do good.

The first of many ways he contributed to the world came in the Army where he was a paratrooper.

David joined as a lieutenant after he graduated from TCU. From there, he became a member of the Weatherford Fire Department, rising to the rank of captain and serving decades.

That would be a lifetime for many people already.

Now, of course, there is plenty of good in the world, yet much of it – like David’s steadfast life – goes unnoticed. That’s the way some people, again like David, want it. They don’t seek any sort of glory.

You know, it doesn’t cost anything to be nice.

Energy tips from TCEQ

T

From the British point of view: American Revolutionary loyalists, Part 3

T

he one-sided accounts generally given by American historians, websites and filmmakers don't often mention the Battle of Penobscot Bay, probably because a mere 50 British Redcoats held off 3,000 rebels for several days, until the Royal Navy arrived, at which point they embarked their 40 ships, but only to sail up river where they managed to shipwreck themselves and disappear into the Maine's wilderness never to be seen again.

“The Loyalists were about 40 percent of the population overall, (Long Island was 90 percent Loyalist) and those that just didn’t want to be on the losing side (including 'late' Loyalists), made up the remaining 33 percent.

“The Loyalists being law abiding were originally passive relying on the British for protection, but after they became increasingly persecuted, terrorized and humiliated by the rebels, about 15,000 joined as provincials with the British Army and another 10,000 served part-time with the various Loyalist militias. Many of who became highly motivated after experiencing rebel brutality, an example of such a person is Thomas Brown the son of a merchant, who had tried to confront a gang of the Sons of Liberty, but they attacked him, fracturing his skull, then partially scalped him, tarred his legs and held him over a fire

that most died.

“Anglican clergymen give testimony to this, as when they had previously ventured into places such people had settled, they found their lives ‘low, lazy, sluttish, heathenish, hellish and when trying to perform a church service, they always would turn it into a drunken singing reveling and dancing orgy.

“An example of what these 'from over the mountain' people were capable of, was at the battle of Kings Mount where having surrounded a heavily out-numbered Loyalist unit, whose position had became hopeless so had (despite rebels not usually taking Loyalist militia as prisoners), tried to surrender; they just cut Major Ferguson to pieces and violated his body and this to a man whose chivalry in battle had prevented him from shooting Washington in the back.

“Also if any other examples of barbarity were required, they then used this distortion of religion to justify firstly starving those prisoners that they did take, only to hang or shoot most of them later.

“While the British won most of the battles (despite often being outnumbered ), the conflict was really won by France, Spain, and Holland who also declared war on Britain with Russia Sweden and Denmark also denying trade. The coup-de-gráce was when French ships blockaded Chesapeake Bay denying Cornwallis any relief

and then a storm prevented him from retreating across the river, giving him no choice but to surrender. These same French ships then went on to the West Indies where Rodney's fleet (who were one week too late to save Cornwallis) caught up with them and smashed them to pieces.

“The French officers that had fought alongside the rebels were surprisingly conciliatory towards Cornwallis's men on their surrender at Yorktown, it's as if they knew their hypocrisy would rebound on them; they had fought a devious war to first aid the American rebels to remove the British, then (which isn’t well known) to try later on to regain lost territory by going to war with the Americans themselves. Although an undeclared war, the French did actually try this in the Quasi-War but luckily for the Americans, Britain changed tactics and left them too stretched to finance it beyond inflicting terrible losses on American shipping.

“Britain could have fought on in America, but with her very existence under threat, wisely decided to consolidate her forces to fight France and Spain directly and in doing so defeated them, which actually protected the Americans.

he Texas Commission on Environmental Quality is issuing a series of energy saving tips.

Here are a couple.

Adjusting your thermostats setting can result in not only energy savings but financial savings, too.

Both cooling and heating can be improved by installing and using a programmable thermostat.

Another TCEQ recommendation is to keep your thermostat at 78 degrees or warmer in the summer and 68 or lower in cooler weather.

According to the Department of Energy, homeowners can save as much as one percent per year for each degree of dialing back if the setback period is eight hours long.

When used properly, a programmable thermostat with four temperature settings can save the average household as much as $150 annually in energy costs.

If every Texas household did this, the savings would be over $1.3 billion every year.

Another TCEQ tip concerns using an efficient HVAC (heating, ventilating, air-conditioning) unit.

HVAC savings show up in the long run, the Texas agency noted.

However, bigger is not always better when it comes to HVAC units because larger systems require more energy.

In Texas, cooling and heating account for as much as 40 percent of a homeowner’s energy expenses.

With an Energy Star heating/cooling system that is the appropriate size for the home, a resident can save up to 20 percent.

An added bonus is that they run cleaner and keep Texas air pure, TCEQ notes.

If the 8.7 million-plus Texas households replaced their current systems with Energy Star HVAC systems, the state would save almost four billion kilowatt hours.

Additional water, air, and water tips can be found online at TakeCareOfTexas.org.

High court allows voter ID law for current election

W

ith early voting in Texas only days a w a y , the U.S. Supreme Court on Oct. 18 let stand a U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals order, thereby allowing Texas’ 2011 voter identification law to remain in force for the time being.

Civil rights plaintiffs in Veasey et al. v. Perry et al. sought to have portions of the law declared unenforceable on constitutional grounds. In a Corpus Christi federal courtroom, U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzales Ramos struck down the law and ordered the state to return to election law practices in place before the Legislature passed the law in 2011.

The law, Ramos wrote, intentionally discriminates against Hispanics and blacks in violation of the Voting Rights Act of 1965 and is tantamount to a “poll tax” because of the cost to acquire any of the various ac-

I get it. There have been too many emergency personnel and good Samaritans who have been injured or killed by careless drivers. So, here’s the truth: I did it. I was wrong. I deserve the consequences. All $300 worth.

This morning, in my daily Bible reading time, I read 1 Peter 2:20-21. The Message translation says it this way:

How will His character be revealed in us today?

“There's no particular virtue in accepting punishment that you well deserve. But if you're treated badly for good behavior and continue in spite of it to be a good servant, that is what counts with God. This is the kind of life you've been invited into, the kind of life Christ lived. He suffered everything that came his way so you would know that it could be done, and also know how to do it, stepby-step.”

Don’t congratulate me, or anyone else, for accepting the consequences when we do something wrong. That is only noteworthy because we have so lowered our expectations of

JV, freshman volleyball excelling in District 8-4A action While the Springtown High School varsity volleyball team is putting together a fine season, so too are the junior varsity and freshman squads – especially in district action.

The SHS JV (10-13, 5-1) most recently swept Bridgeport, 2-0.

Springtown won 25-13, 2514, Coach Hannah Adams recalled.

Karrah Cooper (7 digs), Raynee Henderson (11 assists, 5 aces), Taylor Keith (2 aces, 3 kills, 5 digs), and Jazz Mannin (3 kills, 4 digs) led the way.

The 9th (19-5, 6-0) is over-

whelming foes.

No team in recent matches has managed to push the young Lady Porcupines to three games.

Springtown has beaten Lake

Worth, 25-18, 25-10; Decatur 25-17, 25-21; Castleberry, 2516, 25-13; and Bridgeport, 258, 25-8.

Coach Mallory Daniel especially lauded her charges after

the Decatur victory: “We came out very focused, and it paid off in the end. I was very proud of these ladies.”

Two matches remain in the 2014 season.

JV, 9th face football rivals The junior varsity football Porcupines and the freshman squad continued their seasons against different foes.

The JV (5-2) raced out to a 20-0 first quarter lead and went on to defeat Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis 33-0 on the road.

Springtown scored 5 rushing TDs. Tyler Bragg got 3 of them.

Two came on a pair of first quarter 5-yard runs.

Scoring as well in that opening period was Hayden Quinn, also from the 5.

In the second period, Joss Crosson bolted in from the 30 and Dayton Schrage kicked his third successful PAT. In the final quarter, Bragg recorded his third touchdown, from the 10.

Coaches noted, “The JV Porcupines had lots of players contribute to a good win on the road. They played solid defense with a ground and pound approach on offense.”

The 9th Porcupines have had a tough go of it this season.

Many of the teams they have faced have been unbeaten or have just one loss – to one of those other unbeaten teams.

The freshman Porcupines do have a victory over Alvarado, and SHS tied Young Men’s Leadership Academy last week, 28-28.

In that tie, the young Porcupine defense scored 2 defensive touchdowns, coach Stryker Strickland said. One came on a fumble return by Guillermo Pando.

In addition, the SHS special teams unit added another score, on a kickoff return to paydirt by Pryce Morgan.

Among the frosh’s foes have been undefeated Brownwood; Vernon (who has lost only to Brownwood); unbeaten Liberty Christian; and flawless Kennedale whose has not lost a game not only at the freshman level but in seventh and eighth grades, too.

Swanzy takes contest Four contestants missed one game each in the weekly football contest.

No one saw Baylor losing to West Virginia.

But that was the only contest that a quartet of prognosticators missed.

So the tie-breaker game of Springtown 61, Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis 6 (67) determined cash distribution this time around.

And even that didn’t decide matters.

Two entrants guessed 65 on their tie-breaker, so the first ($20) and second place ($10) cash was combined.

Winning $15 each were Eddy Swanzy and Louden Strickland.

Third place and $5 was awarded to Wes Robinson; he Morgan Langham and the guessed 55 on the tie-breaker.

Movie Man

Thursday, October 23, 2014

Hard-nosed war movie faithful tank-ful for Fury Of all the cinematic genres, the Movie Man is less crazy about war movies. He’s not a big fan of Westerns or romantic comedies either, but war movies...meh.

But he’s seen a slew of them through the years. And, like all niche movies, there are good and bad in every genre.

Fury is a really good war movie.

About the film The best war movie ever is Saving Private Ryan (1998, Movie Man No. 244, an 8 – the Movie Man gave Best of Year honors in ’98 to The Horse Whisperer [MM #234, 8], which was solid, but he now knows it’s no Private Ryan) followed closely by Apocalypse Now (1979) then Full Metal Jacket (1987).

The most recent really good war movie was Sands of Iwo Jima (2007, MM #703, 9, Best of Year [yes, Private Ryan’s 8 tops Iwo Jima’s 9; that’s Movie Man revisionist math]). Whenever anyone asks the Movie Man about a recent good war movie, this is one he recommends; it’s in all Japanese with subtitles and that, unfortunately, scares off many. That’s too bad – it’s one of the best war pictures ever made, better than its companion piece, Flags of Our Fathers (2006, MM #688, 7).

Film aficionados list the top war movies differently.

Total Film Magazine: 3. The Thin Red Line (1998, a great movie famed as much for actors cut out of it as for its power; some of those axed from the final cut: Bill Pullman, Gary Oldman, Viggo Mortensen, Martin Sheen, Mickey Rourke, and a long narration by Billy Bob Thornton) 2. Schindler’s List (1994, MM #22, 9 [Forrest Gump (MM #33, 9) was Best of Year]); 1. Apocalypse Now. American Film Institute lumped war movies in with epics when their list was assembled. Pulling out the war mov-

ies, the top three were: 3. (7 overall) All Quiet on the Western Front (1930, the definitive WWI movie despite its age); 2.

(3) Schindler’s List; 1. (1) Lawrence of Arabia (1961 which must be seen on a big screen to be appreciated; incredibly, in his film debut, Peter O’Toole did not win the Best Actor Oscar – only because that was the year of Gregory Peck in To Kill a Mockingbird).

In America, war movies went out of vogue for a while after the giant movies of the 1950s’60s. Then came the Vietnam pictures – like Platoon (1986) and Born on the Fourth of July (1989) – followed by an occasional spurt of military movies.

Today, we have Fury.

The plot (spoilers) Wardaddy (Brad Pitt) oversees a five-man tank crew in the waning days of WWII. After fighting in several countries, the “Fury” crew is now in Germany, “killing Germans.” But they’ve lost one of their own, KIA. Pitt gets the greenest of green recruits as a replacement, Norman (Logan Lerman), a typist in the Army for eight whole weeks. The battled-hardened crew gives the newbie a hard time.

Soon, Fury is given another assignment as the Allies push deep into Germany. The Germans are not going to give up – women, children, and old men are recruited to fight for the motherland and murdered if they refuse.

Lerman gets a little bolder upon seeing the horrors of war.

And soon he really loses his innocence – just like fellow driver Gordo (Michael Pena), hillbilly mechanic Grady (Jon Bernthal), and Boyd (LaBeouf), a religious man trying hard to stay that way.

The group helps claim a town. After an uncomfortable meal with a couple of frauleins ends poorly – very poorly – Fury is told to help some

Kill or be killed Starring: Brad Pitt, Shia LaBeouf, Logan Lerman, Michael Pena Directed by: David Ayer Rated R for: war violence, lots of bad war language, war gore email: movieman@azlenews.net

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man pinned down soldiers. Leading four tanks into battle, the armored quartet comes upon a fearsome German Tiger tank – almost impenetrable. Only Fury survives the scrape.

Then comes the chore to secure a crossroads for advancing Allies. However, Fury, traveling alone, rolls upon a land mine and gets disabled. When Lerman, acting as an advance scout, spies hundreds of marching, angry Germans ready for a kill-or-be-killed battle, Pitt decides to go it alone, to fight on.

Eventually, his four fellow soldiers stay with him. But the odds are impossible and things end poorly – very poorly – for the Americans.

What works Fury is well acted in every way. LaBeouf, even with his off-screen antics, is super and so is the rest of the crew. Pitt, in an unlikeable role, manages a smidgen of compassion, but the movie doesn’t tilt that way – it’s gruff and brutal.

The gritty look created by director/writer David Ayer is fantastic – war is mucky and dark and smelly and exhausting. The humanity of war ain’t pretty, either; Allies kill almost everything they see and pilfer whatever belongings – on bodies or in houses/businesses – they come upon.

The movie, at 2 hours 14 minutes, tools right along; it’s

exceptionally well made.

Memorable scenes include the Tiger attack and a sequence where Pitt and Lerman force two terrified German women to cook them a meal; just when everyone begins to feel somewhat at ease with each other, LaBeouf, Pena, and Bernthal barge in and crank the tenseness to 11.

knowing that he will soon die.

When he considers surrendering, Pitt says that’s a bad idea, that he’ll suffer even more. But there’s a slim chance for the green recruit. He takes it…but gets discovered anyway. Then, amazingly…

Hope springs eternal expand the irrigation system beyond the existing 44 raised beds, to include 24 10-foot by 15-foot plots to grow row crops and to plant and irrigate 20 fruit trees.

Azle’s Huffman Irrigation has already begun the irrigation work.

“The Garden of Hope aligns with our state grant initiative by providing Azle and surrounding communities access to fresh fruits and vegetables and Texas Health Resources’ mission to improve the health of the people we serve,” Jennifer Beck, community outreach specialist at Texas Health Azle said. “Helping people gain access to healthier food can, in Garden grants Texas Health Azle awarded the long-run, help reduce their a grant of nearly $4,000 to the risk of developing chronic conGarden of Hope Association to ditions, so it’s really a threefold win in our eyes.”

Additionally, Mrs. Helen Karasic Richards, an awardwinning gardener of Fort Worth, awarded the Garden of Hope Association a grant of $10,000 through her conservator, Robert Chicotsky.

The grant will allow the Garden of Hope to plant and irrigate 40 more fruit trees and over 20 blackberry bushes.

Regrettably, Mrs. Richards died a few weeks after the award was made. She was 98 years old. ed our expectations, said Frank Swehosky, president of the garden’s executive board. “Originally, we thought we’d just build 16 raised beds and only build additional beds as community interest grew. However, our patrons gave extravagantly and we were able to build out the entire 44 raised beds.”

“The community interest astounded me, especially given that we are only in our first year of operation,” he continued.

“We have 16 different individuals and groups gardening, some with multiple beds. We have about a 75 percent occupancy at the moment.”

Bell peppers ripen on the vine at the Garden of Hope.

Agricultural additions The Garden of Hope Association and their area partners expressed excitement about the ability to expand the community garden’s capability to help address the food security issues in northeast Parker County and provide a significant and diverse amount of fresh produce.

“We’re hoping the news of the garden expansion, combined with giving 1,500 pounds to the food pantries and shelters will inspire the community to join us by leasing beds or plots,” Swehosky said. “My hope is that with additional gardeners, we’ll be able to double

“Many of our gardeners indicated that they want to have a plot next spring as they found the beds too small for all the different plants they want to try.”

In addition, the association selected a diverse collection of trees that will produce fruit almost continuously from late spring to late fall. Varieties include apples, apricots, figs, peaches, pears, persimmons, plums, and pomegranates.

“We are procuring bare root trees from Womack Nursery, which we’ll plant this January,” Swehosky said. “They say we should expect significant fruit crops in 3-5 years. At that time, imagine the amount of fruit we’ll be able to flow into the pantries and shelters!

Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle and a private donor provided funds to extend the irrigation system to encompass plots for row crops and to plant and irrigate 60 fruit trees.

According to the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) guidelines and number of families in need, the area around Hope Lutheran Church, is considered a “food desert.”

Since June 1, the community garden has distributed 1,500 pounds of fresh fruits, vegetables, and herbs to Northeast Parker County food pantries, shelters, and daycare centers.

BREAST CANCER AWARENESS

Understanding the symptoms of breast cancer also can help women battle and defeat this potentially deadly disease. While the presence of any of the following symptoms does not necessarily mean breast cancer is present, the appearance of the following should be enough to inspire women and even men to visit their physicians for thorough examinations and screenings.

Changes in the feeling of the breast or nipple: A change in how the breast or nipple feels could be indicative of a larger problem. If the nipple is especially tender and this persists for an extended period of time, exercise caution and discuss this change with your physician. Similarly, if a lump or thickening develops on or near the breast or underarms, speak with your physician. hanges in appearance of the breast: A lump or thickening in the breast may affect the appearance of the breast. Another visible symptom of breast cancer is a change in the skin texture or an enlargement of pores in the skin of the breast, which may appear similar to dimpling, not unlike an orange peel. Swelling or shrinking of the breast, especially when such symptoms appear on just one breast, may also indicate breast cancer. In addition, some women with breast cancer notice a sudden asymmetry with their breasts despite their

s with many types of cancer, breast cancer is most successfully treated when it is detected early. Over the previous quarter century, death rates for breast cancer have been on the decline, a positive development that Breastcancer. org, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing reliable, complete and up-to-date information about breast cancer, suggests is a byproduct of the heightened awareness of breast cancer over the last 25 years and the increasing emphasis placed on breast cancer screening.

Even women who are a picture of health can develop breast cancer, highlighting the importance women must place on recognizing and detecting the symptoms of this often curable disease.

Growing Awareness to Save Lives

breasts previously being symmetrical, and such a development should immediately be brought to the attention of a physician.

Changes in the appearance of the nipple: A nipple that appears different also may be a sign of breast cancer.

Some women with breast cancer have noticed a nipple turned slightly inward or inverted prior to their breast cancer diagnosis. Skin of the nipple, as well as that of the breast and areola, which is the dark circle of skin around the nipple, may also become red, scaly or swollen when breast cancer is present.

Clear or bloody discharge from the nipple: Women who are breastfeeding often notice a milky discharge from their nipple after breastfeeding. Such discharges are normal. However, when a woman who is not breastfeeding notices the presence of a clear or bloody discharge from her nipple, such a development should be brought to the attention of a physician.

Any of the aforementioned signs and symptoms may be a sign of infection or the presence of a cyst, both of which are less severe than the presence of breast cancer.

But the success rates of treating cancers that are detected early is such that any potential symptom of breast cancer warrants an immediate discussion with a physician.

Thousands of dogs end up in shelters every year. Some get reunited with family members, but the vast majority are strays or surrendered by their owners.

The Humane Society of the United States estimates that animal shelters care for between six and eight million dogs and cats every year, and approximately half of those animals are ultimately euthanized. Substantial progress has been made to reduce the number of shelter animals that are euthanized, but more work is necessary to save animals from this unfortunate fate. To help reduce the number of homeless animals, many different shelters work to place animals in homes and educate men, women and children about pet overpopulation. Certain breeds tend to be more populous than others in shelters.

It is possible to find purebred dogs in shelters, and some shelters even specialize at placing particular breeds. However, many shelter dogs are mixed-breeds, often referred to as mutts. According to polling from various shelters across the country, pit bulls, labradors, German shepherds, beagles, and their mixes tend to be the most common types of dogs found in shelters. Dogs perceived to be too hyper or aggressive frequently arrive at shelters when people find they cannot manage the animals. But with some training and discipline, many dogs can become beloved companions.

The following is a look at the general temperament of common shelter dogs and the type of care and handling such dogs may require.

Pit bull terrier A well-bred pit bull can be a dependable, loyal and good-natured companion. These dogs are athletic and must have moderate daily exercise to stay healthy and prevent boredom.

Pit bulls can be stubborn and dominant, meaning they will need confident owners who can establish and enforce expected behaviors. While they can be friendly with people, pit bulls may be assertive around other dogs, particularly when they feel their dominance is being challenged. In addition, these dogs have a high prey instinct and may chase cats or other small animals.

Pit bulls can usually live comfortably if they have adequate mental stimulation and are socialized at an early age.

Beagles Beagles are the perfect size for many families, and they also make friendly and peaceful dogs. Then why do they end up in shelters so readily? Beagles were developed as hunting dogs and may have these traits programmed into their heads to chase and seek out prey. What’s more, beagles need a lot of exercise, and some people simply do not have the time or inclination to exercise their dogs.

Beagles can bay or howl when

they become bored, and they may dig holes or try to escape close quarters. For these reasons, beagles may end up turned over to shelters. But firm training and positive outlets for energy can help make beagles welcome companions.

German shepherd Well-bred German shepherds are often self-confident and aloof but not hostile. But many German shepherds, thanks in part to overbreeding, exhibit unpredictable behavior.

German shepherds are a working breed and were developed to be smart and forward-thinking. Shepherds need mental stimulation to remain happy and could become destructive if not given a good intellectual outlet, such as agility classes or herding opportunities.

German shepherds shed a lot of hair, making them undesirable to some people. When not properly socialized, shepherds may be aggressive toward other dogs, which can be problematic. However, a shepherd that has been bred well, trained and socialized can make a loyal and friendly pet.
