SPD: Thefts in autos rising By Natalie Gentry A recent rash of vehicle burglaries in Springtown has been reported to the Springtown Police Department. Twenty vehicle burglaries have been reported since Oct. 5, Springtown Police Lieutenant Curtis Stone said. “As far as we know none of the burglaries have been forced entries,” Stone said. “It’s been people who are not locking their doors” The perpetrators appear to be simply walking down streets checking door handles. Stone said the best way to prevent the crime is twofold: lock cars and don’t leave items – especially valuables – in cars. “Anything people leave in the vehicles is being taken,” he continued. “There are numerous firearms missing, as well as wallets, purses, and phones.” Stone also emphasized the importance of reporting vehicle burglaries immediately. These people are looking for any chance, according to Stone. If the opportunity isn’t present, there is no chance for the crime.

Natalie Gentry Months of early morning practices have paid off for the Sound of Springtown. After competing against 23 bands in the 4A University Interscholastic League (UIL) Area Marching Band Contest at the Leander ISD Gupton Stadium on Saturday, Oct. 25, the high school band will advance to the state competition Nov. 3.

Springtown Elementary School outlines improvement plan by Natalie gentry

Springtown Elementary School (SES) principal, Pearl Russell, presented the 2014 Targeted School Improvement Plan to the board and the public at the Oct. 27 Board of Trustees meeting. This plan is a requirement by the state of Texas for schools that need to show improvement on standardized tests scores under the new accountability system. Scores from last year’s STAAR tests indicated that subgroups of SES students were not progressing as required from grade three to four in math, reading, and writing.

The first steps in the process are conducting on-site needs assessment and a focused data analysis. Russell noted that poor vertical alignment appeared to be a major factor in the lack of progress. In response to these findings the SES Campus Leadership team (CLT) and administration have developed a calendar to allow teachers to meet with one another in their own grades – horizontal alignment. Vertical alignment teams will also meet to make sure instruction in math, reading, and writing is aligned throughout all grade levels.

Polls now open By Natalie Gentry With early voting wrapping up Friday, Oct. 31 Parker County residents have a variety of decisions to make. Voters statewide will decide the governor for the next four years and whether to approve Proposition 1 – a constitutional amendment “providing for the use and dedication of certain money transferred to the state highway fund to assist in the completion of transportation, construction, maintenance and rehabilitation projects, not to include toll roads.” They will also choose if Republican incumbent Phil King or Democratic challenger Matthew Britt will be the

State Representative for District 61. On a local level, residents in Parker County Precinct One will be voting in the race for Justice of the Peace. Some Precinct One voters will also elect school board members for the Poolville Independent School District, while others will decide whether or not to become part of Parker County Emergency Services District 8. Reno voters will choose whether or not to approve a one-fourth of one percent (¼ of one cent) sales and use tax for maintenance and repair municipal streets.

These alignments will ensure students continue to progress in accordance to state standards. By monitoring instruction with focused walkthroughs and data analysis of assessments, SES administration will be able to make sure all students are receiving adequate instruction. In addition, professional development is being provided to teachers in all three subjects. Development sessions in reading and math have already taken place at SES this year. To date, 75 percent of the teachers at SES have attended the Writing Acad-

emy and plans are in place to ensure the through www.springtownisd.net. rest of the teachers are able to attend the course in 2015. SES is not alone in this situation. Schools across the state are working to adapt to the new accountability system. Although it may be a daunting task, Janet Sanders, the school’s professional service provider, implied that the plan is often a blessing in disguise. Having successfully worked through this process last year at Goshen Creek SES Principal Pearl Russell outElementary School, SES has a road lined the Targeted School Immap, of sorts, to follow. provement Plan for SES at the The school’s improvement plan can Oct. 27 school board meeting. be viewed on the campus’ web site Photo by Natalie Gentry

Suspects sought in PCSO furniture restoration scam

Missing a chair or table? Parker County Sheriff’s investigators executed a search warrant at a local storage facility stemming from an investigation where a husband and wife team is facing numerous theft charges.

To date, the victims have reported the Lee’s stole an estimated combined total furniture value of more than $20,000. Sheriff’s investigators reported the couple is also suspected in a case be-

ing investigated by the Springtown Police. In addition, cases from Wise County Sheriff’s Office, Willow Park Police Department, and Weatherford Police Department have also been reported. Within the last month, victims have resorted to posting the crimes on social media, warning others to be cautious of enlisting the couple for restoration services, which has since sparked a media frenzy of comments about the suspects and their business PLEASE SEE SPD, PAGE 2A.

pects have since vacated their Parker County residence, left the state, and closed their social media accounts. Warrants are currently being sought for the suspects, and the investigation continues as Sheriff’s investigators anticipate additional victims to come forward. Investigators are attempting

City Hall hours of operation reduced by 1.5 By Natalie Gentry The City of Springtown is changing City Hall hours of operation. During its regular meeting held Oct. 23, the city council decided to reduce the Tuesday schedule at City Hall by closing at 4:30 p.m. instead of 6 p.m. This modification means that City Hall will be open from 7:30 a.m. - 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday each week. City Administrator, Mark Krey, noted that in the last three months only one person has used this time to pay their bill. When this fact was weighed against the cost of keeping the office open, consideration for taxpayer dollars had to factor in, he said. “These are overtime hours

we are paying for,” Krey said. “There will still be a night-drop available.” In addition to the paying their bills in the office by check, Springtown City Administrator Mark Krey and City cash, cashier’s check, money Council member, Annette Burk consider altering City order, and credit card, residents Hall hours during the Oct. 23 council meeting. may also pay their utility bills Photo by Natalie Gentry online at the City’s website – cityofspringtown.com.

What to Do About a Fever A fever is described medically as an increase in the body temperature that occurs when a person is ill. A fever commonly indicates that there may be an infection inside the body. A temperature of 103°F (39.4°C) for adults may need medical attention. Fever in children may require medical attention as well when the body temperature exceeds the normal range of 98.6°F (37°C). Additional signs of a fever include sweating, shivering, muscle aches, dehydration, weakness, and not feeling hungry. A temperature above 103°F may accompany convulsions and confusion. A fever lasting more than three days usually requires medical intervention. Fevers may be caused by infections, certain medications, too much sun exposure, certain conditions like rheumatoid arthritis, and some tumors. Most fevers will go away in a few days. Over the counter medications are available to help with reducing the fever. Acetaminophen (Tylenol) and ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) are popular medications that help reduce fever and pain by blocking enzymes in the body. Dosages for children and adults are different. Do not use more than the recommended dose of medication to reduce fever because these medications may cause severe side effects to the liver and kidneys. Aspirin should be taken by adults only to help reduce fever.

New coach pulling double duty Davis helms cross country and soccer boys and girls squads by mark k. campbell Trent Davis knows soccer. And he knows that cross country can help soccer. So, as the high school coach for both, Davis encourages his soccer kids to run a cross country race. “They have to run at least one,” he told the Springtown Optimist Club Oct. 28. Davis, who came to SISD after six years in Azle, will escort the Lady Porcupine running team – and one boy, Alan Tarango – to Lubbock for the Region I meet at Mae Simmons Park on Halloween. No SHS team had advanced to cross country regional since the 2005 Lady Porcupines in 4A; this year’s ladies took third at district. The success is built on Davis’ positive approach.

“Teachers and coaches can inspire youth,” he said. “I try to be positive on a daily basis.” Davis, who was raised in Pampa, said he knew current Athletic Director Brian Hulett from their Panhandle days. “He’s a soccer guy,” Davis said. The cross country season will likely end in Lubbock; Davis said the girls’ goal is to beat Bridgeport – a team that topped them in district at Decatur Oct. 23. Then soccer commences. Davis’ athletic history is in the sport. As a youth, he represented America in a European tournament that the U.S. won. After high school, Davis played soccer two years at UT-Permian Basin before his coaching career began.

“I try to do what I’ve been taught to do – put kids in the position to be successful,” he said. There will be a “building process” when it comes to SHS. Davis said he has about 22 boys “once football is over.” And, with 30 girls, he will have enough athletes to field a varsity and JV team, a luxury in Springtown’s classification. With just four teams in the district, SHS will advance with Burkburnett, Wichita Falls Hirschi, and Decatur. Davis said he plans for Springtown to finish high in the standings. While the two sports keep him busy, Davis Coach Trent Davis leads Springtown High said, “I’m excited to be in Springtown. We’ve athletes in cross country and soccer. got a great group of kids in both sports.” Photo by Mark K. Campbell

Student of the Month

By Natalie gentry The Springtown Independent School District (SISD) Reading Bee was held on Oct. 23, at the Central Services Boardroom. The Reading Bee is a contest that awards points for accuracy in reading, words read per minute and correct answers to questions of different comprehension levels. Jeanie Wilson and Trudy Wells judged this year’s finalists: Temperence Wood – representing Goshen Creek Elementary – and Cavin Ray – from Springtown Elementary. Both students competed well, judges noted. “These are the highest scores we have seen yet,” Wilson said. Ray ultimately took first place and will now be representing SISD at the state competition on Nov. 22, at Texas Christian University.

Visitation was at 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday in the chapel of White’s Funeral Home, 401 N. Main St., Springtown. A celebration of Bob’s life will be held at a later date. In lieu of usual remembrances, the Thompson family suggests consideration of contributions in Bob’s memory to the Weatherford Animal Shelter, 403 Hickory Lane, Weatherford, Texas 76086 or a charity of your choosing. Robert Winford Thompson was born April 28, 1939, in Houston, son of the late Edward Chester and Jewel Ruth Tubbs Thompson. He graduated from Milby High School with

the class of 1957, enlisted and served with honor in the United States Army, and made his career with Westinghouse Electric Corp., which became Siemens prior to Bob’s retirement. After 40 dedicated years of service, Bob retired in 2013 and devoted much of his time to his passion of working Thompson’s Ranch. He loved to raise cattle and piddle around the ranch. He was married to the former Teresa Brown for 29 years. Bob was preceded in death by a daughter, Sherri Ruth Dykes; his parents; and a brother, Harold Keith Thompson. Survivors include wife, Teresa Thompson of Springtown; children, Robert Keith Thompson Sr. of Weatherford, Eric Scott Thompson of Weatherford, William Searcy Thompson of Fort Worth, Donna-Marie Burkhalter and fiancé, Bobbie Hamlett Jr., of Seabrook; grandchildren, Tanya and husband, Jeremy, Bobby Lynn, Robert, Kaila, Megan, Laura, Kayla and husband, J.D., Ryan, Sam, and Mallory; 12 great-grandchildren; brother, James “Jim” Thompson and wife, Judy of Blum; sister-inlaw, Ann Pittman-Thompson of College Station; and a host of loving family and friends.

Eula Neighbors, 94, passed away Thursday, Oct. 23, 2014 in Azle. A funeral service was held at 10 am, Monday, Oct. 27 at First Baptist Church, Springtown. Interment at Springtown Cemetery. Visitation was from 6 to 8 pm, Sunday at White’s Funeral Home, Springtown. Eula V. McEntire Neighbors was born Oct. 23, 1920 in Wise County, Decatur. She was left homeless at age 12 during the Depression and was taken to live with an uncle and aunt on a cotton farm in Texas; where she worked on the farm and was taught to quilt, a love for reading, and how to scrub wood floors after a sand storm. At 20 she met Edgar Neighbors at a social gathering in Sept. The Springtown Epigraph, and married him one month Oct. 30, 2014 Edition later, Oct. 25, 1940. Eula said that was the only thing she ever did that she wouldn’t want her kids to do. She became a Christian just before she met Ed and always said she knew that God

had sent him for her. He took her out of flatland West Texas to his home in Reno where two children were born, Ellen Elizabeth and Edward Franklin. Eula always wanted to be a nurse and that dream was realized when she became a LVN at Campbell Memorial Hospital at the age of 46. The most painful thing of her life was the loss of her 18 year old son, Edward. Eula and Ed had two grandchildren, Rhonda Carpenter Wilson and Clay Carpenter. As much as she loved them, she would say that great grandchildren were even better until she had a great-great grandson and that was the best ever. Eula loved singing with her Joy Singers Senior group and loved reading her Bible and living in a state of prayer. Eula was preceded in death by her husband, Edgar F. Neighbors; son, Edward Franklin Neighbors; sisters, Lena Tackle and Ruby Black; brother, Hugh McEntire; parents; and grandparents. Survivors include daughter, Ellen Carpenter and husband, Ray; granddaughter, Rhonda Wilson and husband, Randy; grandson, Clay Carpenter and wife, Gina; great-grandsons, Kellen Carpenter, Cole Wilson and wife, Ashley, Brady Wilson and wife, Samantha, Haden Carpenter; and great-great grandchildren, Jagger Cole Wilson, Maddox Rae Wilson and Zane Wilson.

SHS ladies advancing to regional cross country meet One boy qualifies for Lubbock race

by mark k. campbell It was unseasonably warm – hot, if you were running – at Decatur’s Reunion Grounds Oct. 23 when the district cross country meet was conducted. Squads lined up and made the routes – two miles for the girls and three for boys. When the scores were tallied, the Lady Porcupines had claimed one of the three regional berths thanks to a third place finish. After the boys’ race, Porcupine Alan Tarango had also punched his ticket to Lubbock’s Mae Simmons Park on Halloween. For the girls, it marked the first time a Springtown squad had advanced to the regional level since 2005. SHS’ highest female finisher was Sharaia Stout. She covered the two sunny, sometimes dusty miles in 13 minutes, 38 seconds. The freshman finished ninth overall. Stout was followed by three straight Lady Porcupines: Kristine Camacho (12, 13:53), Brianna Escobar (13, 13:56.1), and Harley Phares (14, 13:56.6). When Gabby Casanova crossed the line 19th in 14:28, Springtown’s score was settled. Lady Porcupine Sharaia Stout was the fastest SHS girl The Lady Porcupines finin Decatur Oct. 23. Photo by Mark K.

Campbell behind runner-up Bridgeport and behind the near-perfect 16 points recorded by Decatur. Tarango’s time of 17:45 led the Porcupines; he was fifth overall. Following him in were Cooper Frizzell (19:36), David Cobos (20:13); Richard Na-

jera (20:43); and Carson Croft (21:01). When the results were tallied, Springtown had just missed out on a trip to Lubbock, finishing fourth. Decatur, Castleberry, and Bridgeport will represent the district at the Region I gather-

ing. Coach Trent Davis lauded his squads. He said he doesn’t expect the young Lady Porcupines to win at Lubbock “but we will run our very best.” Davis added that the goal at hilly Mae Simmons Park will be to beat Bridgeport.

Porcupines beat Indians late TD pass with seconds left sinks hosts by mark k. campbell The Porcupines won a weird game – a crucial contest – against District 5-4A foe Alvarado, 27-24. Springtown (5-3, 2-1) scored with 26 seconds left on the Indians’ gridiron to claim a game that will go a long way when it comes to postseason seeding. Coach Brian Hulett said, “We found a way to win the game. That’s the important part. Instead of finding a way to lose, find a way to win.” The Porcupines scored defensively early when Mykeal Cummings returned an Alvarado fumble 77 yards for a first quarter TD. SHS scored again in the period when Austin Bowman hit Dillon Springfield for a 23-yard score. The Porcupines moved 67 yards in just four plays and 55 seconds. Mateo Herrera’s two PAT kicks gave Springtown a 14-0 lead after one period. But the hosts matched SHS’ early efforts to tie the game at the break. In the third quarter, the Porcupines put together an 11-play, 69-yard drive that ate up almost five minutes of the third quarter. It culminated in a TD pass from Bauman to Cummings, a score of 53 yards. After an Indian field goal, the final period arrived with Springtown leading 20-17. But Alvarado got a TD pass of 10 yards. With six minutes left, Springtown trailed 24-20. With the game on the line, SHS drove 9 plays in a mere 2:08. With 26 seconds left, Snow caught Bauman’s aerial from the 13 and the Porcupines had secured a vital victory. Coach Hulett said this was the third game for Springtown Porcupine Mykeal Cummings turned in a great game against Alvarado including a 77-yard fumble recovery for a TD for the game’s first points.

While Alvarado is a football district foe, not so for volleyball.

Springtown MS

The junior varsity Porcupines led Alvarado 7-0 at halftime in a 5-4A clash. But the visiting Indians scored 14 points in the second half to win, 14-7. Springtown (5-3) scored in the second quarter when Suliman Uddin caught a 20-yard pass from Hayden Quinn then Dayton Schrage kicked the PAT. Coaches noted, “The Porcupines played extremely hard Quarterback Austin Bauman (12) found running back in a very competitive football Ryan Snow with 26 seconds left in the game to give the game. We are very proud of Porcupines a thrilling win. Photo by Mark K. Campbell their fight.”

“that could have gone the other way. That shows that our boys are maturing and learning the value of working hard every day, no matter the circumstance.”

Statistically, the game went Alvarado’s way. The Indians out-gained the Porcupines by over 100 yards. But SHS forced a trio of turnovers, including an interception by Clayton Walker. The win almost cemented a

Volleyball The 8th A (9-1, 7-0) swept an other foe, this time Creekview, 258, 25-11. “The girls came out very aggressive and Creekview could not pass our serves,” coach Ashley Watson noted. Aside from “serving them of f the court,” a memorable play was turned in by Charisma Jones who fisted a ball to keep it alive; SMS eventually got the point. Also shining: setter Addison Farris (9 assists); hitter Peyton Yates (4 kills); server/defensive standout Jones (13 serves, 5 aces); and blocker Kloe Smith (2 solos). The 8th B (9-0, 7-0) stayed perfect by surviving Creekview 26-24, 20-25, 25-17. “These girls like to make things interesting,” Coach W atson said. “It seems they always go three sets with most teams, but they come together at the right moment to get the win.” Taylor Cox paced SMS with 8 assists and 12 points (4 aces). Devin

Tiggs killed 7 balls while Michayla Goforth was tops with 11 digs. Taylor Smith was credited with 6 “good passes” in serve receive. Football The 8th and 7th A and B teams faced off against their Castleberry Irma Marsh counterparts. The 8th A smashed the Lions, 40-8. Coaches named a trio of young Porcupines as “key players” – J.R. Spoon, Andrew Guisinger, and Ashton Watson. The 8th B edged Marsh, 12-8. Leading Springtown were Dakota Brooks, David W eikal, and Jayton Stevens. The 7th A blew out the Lions, 52-12. Vital efforts in the rout were turned in by Cameron Rickett, Abe Mendez, and Alan Hernandez. The 7th B lost to Irma Marsh in a high-scoring contest, 40-20. Leading SMS were Cage Teague, Cody Langley , and Alex Waite.

playoff berth. One more victory will do it. Coach Hulett said, “It was a big week, and we wanted to travel and play good in a big game on the road.” Mission accomplished – with 26 seconds to spare.

Next up Lake Worth

Like Alvarado, the Bullfrogs lost every non-district game before winning two in district play – 28-14 over Castleberry and 55-0 over FW Diamond Hill-Jarvis. Expect Lake Worth to give all they’ve got to the Porcupines, SHS Coach Brian Hulett said. “They are 2-1, just like we are. They are playing at home on Senior Night. They have everything to play for. We must be ready for a difficult game.” He added that the Frogs are “fast, explosive, scary.”

Robinson wins contest One person among all entrants picked the Washington Redskins to beat the Dallas Cowboys. While $20 first place winner Wes Robinson didn’t, Wade Daniels did.

That bold choice not only drew Daniels even with two other competitors but allowed him to take the $10 second place cash thanks to the tiebreaker of Springtown 27, Alvarado 24 (51).

Now in Aledo and Willow Park

Daniel’s guess was 60. Taking third and $5 was Clyde Bradshaw who predicted 63. Too far off was Margaret Swanzy’s prediction of 72 on the tie-breaker.

The Springtown Middle School 8th grade championship cross country girls team were: (l-r, with coach Thomas Croft) Vanessa Murillo, Taylor Cox, Jamie Clyner, Angelina Gutierrez, and Meleah Pineda.

Attack of the dead chicken

t was like any other late Sunday night: I was eating in my favorite chair, watching British comedies on PBS. Historically, TV and eating go together in my family. While we were far from independently wealthy, my dad made sure of two things: We always ate good and we always had a decent TV. (Well, actually, Dad made sure of three things: “Don’t stand in front of the TV when the Cowboys were on.”) Growing up we were never the Leave it to Beaver, eat-in-the-formaldining-room-while-discussing-theday’s-activities kind of family. In fact, we never had a formal dining room. Also: the TV was always cocked so we could literally watch Leave it to Beaver while we ate. So, when an adult, I carried on the proud family tradition of watching TV while we ate. Now that the children have moved away, I have migrated from the dining room table to a living room chair where I am even closer to the TV. The Bride, as you can imagine, is not crazy about this arrangement. However, she tolerates it because I gave up another deeply-bred dining room table

habit – reading while eating. We grew up watching TV then, at commercials, reading whatever we had brought to the table. Early in our marriage, I ON YOUR struggled to put down the MARK Sports IllusMark K. Campbell trated or Edgar Allen Poe short story collection and listen to my Bride. (True confession: I have read the backs of hundreds of cereal boxes while she talked.) Eventually, to save the marriage, I bargained to give up reading for TV, a mighty acquiescence, if you ask me. My eating chair is comfortable. Unfortunately, I seem to eat a lot of crummy things, so it’s sometimes prickly. When company comes over, I have to overhaul the chair to get whatever sorts of morsels have worked their way into the chairs’ depths – I apparently eat a lot of crackers.

(Company coming over always upsets the dining apple cart. Aside from having to clean the house in a mad rush, there’s the fact that you have to turn off the TV [unless the Cowboy game is on].) Anyway, there I was sitting watching As Time Goes By again when – wham! – I felt a sharp pain in my right little toe. When you live in the country, you take stings and bites for granted; I assumed it was some sort of insect critter. However, I felt down there and my toe was bleeding. So I turned on the light and examined it; I had been pierced. I looked but no bug. Instead, I found something needle-like. It was the splinter end of an old piece of chicken, so dried out and hard that it was stout enough to injury me. Once again, I heard from the Bride the ol’ that-wouldn’t-happen-if-you’deat-at-the-table routine or something like that: I couldn’t hear it all over the crunching of my saltines. K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and at Mark the insistence of the Bride must again reiterate that “our house is not as bad as I make it sound.”

Letter to the Editor Global warming data not conclusive I agree with Chetta Owens’ comments last week in regard to the global warming issues [“It’s a scientific fact: Climate change is real” Oct. 16]. We all should dig into and educate ourselves by means other than the national and local media. As a geologist, my work in exploring for oil and gas is to find reservoirs (sand bodies, reefs, etc) that were formed millions of years ago as a result of the rise and fall of sea level due to global warming and cooling. The Earth has been warming for over 100,000 years since the end of the last Ice Age. Sea levels have risen by hundreds of feet since then. The current data (last 200 years) support continued warming of the Earth during that time. Is it the natural evolution of the Earth? Is it being accelerated by man? As with any set of data, or any theory based on that data, analysis by science is subject to interpretation and changes over time. The same set of data can lead to different conclusions based on theories by different scientists, all smarter than me. In the past, the world did respond to the ozone layer demise by changing from chlorofluorocarbons as an aerosol to other less harmful propellants. In that case the science was very conclusive and the change was easily implemented and was very economical. In the case of global warming, the data is not conclusive (yet) that man is

the real culprit in accelerating global warming. Furthermore the proposed responses to global warming would wreak havoc on the world economy when we are not really sure which response is the correct one. I would agree that restricting how we pollute the environment is a good thing. But we need to be sure we are attacking the right issue and do it without destroying the economy and destroying jobs. We could spend 20 years reducing CO2 and sulfur in the atmosphere then a volcano could go off in Indonesia

and totally wipe out man’s progress in a month. For a geologist’s view on the subject, go to this link: https://www. youtube.com/watch?v=d09cJ1i 9M3o&feature=youtube_gdata_ player&app=desktop. This is a video of Dr. Riese at Rice University presenting a geological ethics talk on global warming. It runs about 43 minutes and presents a different look at this important issue. Tom Brace Azle

The British point of view – American Loyalists, Part 4

fter the American Revolution: “The French people were left so impoverished by all this that their leaders, who had decided to fight with the American rebels, then suffered by their own example when having made inevitable the rebellion against King Louis XV1 and his entourage, they were duly executed in the French Revolution “Spain would also suffer a considerable loss when later her own colonies followed the American example. “During their rebellion the American republicans had relinquished almost universally their religion and morality, to a point that they drove most true church ministers out of the country which mitigated recriminations when the vast majority of ordinary Americans did not gain as a result of the rebellion, in fact most lost out, with the soldiers not receiving the land or the amount of pay they were prom-

At the formal end of the war at trea-

ty of Paris, the British gave the Americans very generous settlement terms on the understanding that they would earnestly recommend that the Loyalists would have their land returned to them or receive fair compensation for such, the Americans reneged on this, with only South Carolina making any real effort to compensate them. Unbelievable excuses were given why they broke this agreement, e.g. there was no national government so the states had no need to accept any recommendations from Congress, despite it being the same people in Congress making the recommendations that when in the national government they rejected it. Another was: it gave opportunities to others, which is the same as saying a theft gives opportunities to others. But the consequence of this mentality was pathetic wagon trains of Loyalist women and children moving north and a bigoted sense of freedom its legacy. “Any that returned to seek redress found their persecution was as fierce

Campaigns in final push as The family of the Nov. Election Day approaches Letter to the Editor

child in the Reed case speaks out Editor’s note: When word of the conviction of Travis Reed got out – eight years for indecency with a child – social media went berserk. The family of the boy involved submitted this letter, addressing the events. Over the last week we have observed quite the debate between people on Facebook in regards to this case. As a family member of the victim, here are some personal insights and some facts. The facts cannot be debated. They are all on public record. If you want go to the courthouse and pay the fee, you can have the transcript and see what the proper facts are. There are no winners in this decision. The victim will have to live his entire life with what happened to him. He has been forever scarred by this and will never forget it. The family of Travis Reed is also hurt by this. Just imagine your husband or father or brother or son that you love dearly being sent to prison for eight years. It is very difficult for both families right now. No winners, only losers. When a child confides in you that they have been touched inappropriately you have to take it very seriously. The child was asked over and over repeatedly if this happened: “Are you sure this happened to you?” “When did this happen to you?” “What exactly happened to you?” Once we heard his entire story we not only knew he was telling the truth, but it was our duty to report this to the proper authorities. Had a child told you that he or she had been molested would

you not do the same thing? The police and detectives not only felt like he was telling the truth enough to investigate, but the grand jury believed the victim enough to indict Travis so that this would be able to go to trial. Travis wanted a trial by jury knowing full well that he could go to prison; this was the path he chose. Regardless of the verdict, we knew due process was at work and everyone would have to live with the outcome. If he was found innocent, so be it. If he was found guilty, so be it. It was not in our hands any longer. Twelve jurors who heard the entire case found that there was not only enough evidence to convict but also to sentence well above the minimum time. It took three long years before Travis finally had his day in court. This was justice delayed but justice served. The jury did the job they were supposed to do. Travis has every right to appeal this decision. That’s the law. We do not seek any further satisfaction. Anything that happens, rumors spread, and lies told by people not involved in the case is beyond our control. We have remained quiet about this case because we let the justice system speak for us. Anything we had to say we said in the court of law. We pray for Travis’ family; they do not deserve this. But the child didn’t deserve it either. We ask that the public please respect the privacy of our family and the family of Travis Reed and give everyone involved time to heal.

olls continued to show Republican candidates ahead in top-of-ballot races as Texas moved closer to the Oct. 31 early voting deadline before Election Day, Nov. 4. Political campaigns continued to work feverishly across Texas, knocking on doors, holding rallies, robocalling, planting signs, flooding mailboxes and barraging email accounts. Gubernatorial candidates state Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, and Republican state Attorney General Greg Abbott, with their multi-million dollar advertising budgets, redoubled their appeals to television viewers. Abbott, ahead in the fundraising competition to fuel their respective campaigns in the closing days, and Davis were to report their campaign cash on hand totals to the Texas Ethics Commission on Oct. 28. Notably, Leticia Van de Putte, a San Antonio state senator and Democratic candidate for lieutenant governor, notched endorsements from daily newspapers, such as the Austin American-Statesman, Beaumont Enterprise, Corpus Christi Caller-Times, Dallas Morning News, El Paso Times, Fort Worth Star-Telegram, Houston Chronicle, Longview News-Journal, San Antonio Express-News and Wichita Falls Times Record News, and groups such as the AFL-CIO, Emily’s List, Annie’s List and Texas PharmPAC; and by actress Eva Longoria.

The Texas Task Force on Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response recommended the creation of such a facility “to better protect health care workers and the public from the spread of pandemic diseases.” Three Dallas-area-based health care providers, UT Southwestern Medical Center, Methodist Hospital System and Parkland Hospital System, will partner to set up and operate the North Texas facility, Perry said.

The second and third patients are both nurses who cared for Duncan at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas: Nina Pham and Amber Joy Vinson.

Movie Man

Thursday, October 30, 2014

Smarmy Murray saves generic, feel-good weeper How could anyone not like Bill Murray? Whether you’ve been there from the beginning – like the Movie Man has from Murray’s Saturday Night Live days – or came along when Murray’s movie career became his focus, he’s consistently funny. About the film These days, Murray is famous for not being around. Filmmakers are always seeking him out for work, but he’s known for being hard to find. Today, it’s Murray who contacts directors who want him to be part of their movies, not the other way around. In the case of St. Vincent, Murray read the script then sent a letter to director Theodore Melfi for a meeting…in an airport. Murray was a key part of the success of early SNL. (Some bar bet trivia for you: He was also part of the short-lived TV show Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell which came out immediately before the longlived Saturday Night Live in 1975-76.) The Cosell show was so poorly received that it ran for just three episodes. But Murray – and his brother Brian Doyle Murray – both toiled on it. (Billy Crystal, too.) After his success on SNL – Murray participated in 74 episodes beginning in the middle of year two, 1977; there’s an entire generation that knows his lounge singer belting out “Star Wars” – he became a movie star. (Someday, the Movie Man will let you know of the incredible variety of guests that have hosted SNL, especially in the early days. The span of humanity is amazing – not just actors trumpeting movies like today.) In parts of various sizes, Murray shone in some of the biggest movies of the 1980’s. It was a fantastic run: Caddyshack (1980); Stripes (1981); Tootsie (1982); Ghostbusters (1984); Scrooged (1988, the Movie Man’s all-time favorite Christ-

mas movie: “It’s a toaster!”); and Ghostbusters II (1989). Murray made some memorable movies in the ensuing decades, too: Groundhog Day (1993) is a comedy classic; Kingpin (1996) is hilariously demented and the best Farrelly brothers movie; and he helped make the first Charlie’s Angels (2000, Movie Man No. 375, 7) so much fun. Others are fans of Murray’s more independent pictures like Rushmore (1998) and the (overrated) Lost in Translation (2003, MM #546, 4). (The Movie Man recommends for those who ask for offbeat Murray: Quick Change [1990, a funny caper picture]; the almost-forgotten Larger Than Life [1996, MM #152, 6] which involves Murray and an elephant; and/or the humorous The Man Who Knew Too Little [1997, MM #207, 7] where he is mistaken for a spy.) St. Vincent is a bit of a throwback to the crotchety, smarmy Murray that has been so funny so many times before. This movie isn’t a classic by any stretch, but it’s worth the effort. The plot (spoilers) Vincent (Murray) is a jerk. He smokes, drinks, gambles, and wants nothing to do with anyone expect the pregnant Russian hooker, Daka (Naomi Watts), he sees every Tuesday and his beloved cat. So, when newly-separated Maggie (Melissa McCarthy) and her young son Oliver (Jaeden Lieberher) move in next door, Murray hates it – especially when McCarthy’s movers hit a tree and damage his fence and car. While Lieberher struggles at his new school, McCarthy can’t get home from work to care for him. Grumpy Murray begins baby-sitting the boy for cash. Against his will, Murray and the boy begin bonding – even if that means it takes place in a bar or horse track…or an Alzheimer’s nursing facility

From Nashville to the pulpit

In the beginning Bayless began playing locally as a teenager with his first gig at Kilroy’s on Main Street. “I was terrified,” he chuckled. “I just knew I was going to get beat up or shot. “Kilroy’s had quite the reputation back then.” Bayless played there with fellow Azle performer Wade O’Donald. Soon the duo was hitting bars all around the Fort Worth area. Later Bayless also played keyboards for Bobby Blood, owner of the Music Centre on Azle’s Main Street. Blood once played in the horn section for Three Dog Night. “With that band,” Bayless said, “we played mostly high-end private parties – at country clubs.” Bayless’ next group was with Gerald Ray and that band performed all around the Metro-

plex and beyond. Finally, Bayless had found his touring band. “We played clubs in the five-state region,” he said. The big break Bigger things loomed. “I got a big break in the fall of 1986,” Bayless recalled. That’s when he began playing keyboards for the popular country group Mason Dixon. Signed with Capitol Records, the band toured for three years. “I was on several TV shows with them and we played arenas all over the country,” Bayless said. That experience led him to a group called Eldorado that had extensive ties with Willie Nelson. “We played a lot of shows with him, recorded at his studio – Pedernales – and also played Farm Aid with him in Ames, Iowa in 1992,” Bayless recalled. That same year, he was voted the Keyboard Player of the Year at the D/FW Music Awards. In 1994, he married another Azle High grad, Margie McGee, Class of 1984. The duo moved to Nashville. Bayless quickly teamed up with Wade Hayes who already had several hits. Soon he was out touring again, this time with Alan Jackson, Brooks & Dunn, and many other top country acts. Bayless played Austin City Limits with Hayes and made a pair of music videos with him. “We also did several shows on TNN,” he said. After meeting country music legend Mel McDaniel, Bayless began playing “hundreds” of shows at the Grand Ol’ Opry for the next eight years. He also played keyboards on McDaniel’s Reloaded album.

Bayless has been involved with is impressive, especially since he has spent so much time as a studio session musician. He played on an album with Vince Gill and Rodney Crowell, a tribute LP for Cindy Walker, a country songwriter. Bayless had previously played on demos for her with former Texas Playboy Leon Rausch. Those demos were recorded in Azle, at Bill Hearne’s studio, Bayless said. “I have played with or recorded with Willie Nelson, Jean Sheppard, Bryan White, T. Graham Brown, Toby Keith, Linda Davis, Jack Green and many more,” he said. Bayless said he has met scores of old-timers through the decades and been on the same bill with superstars like Merle Haggard, Hank Williams, Jr., and George Jones. As a studio musician, Bayless said he has been part of radio jingles for Justin Boots, Miller beer, and the Don’t Mess With Texas ad campaign. And, when in Nashville, he continues to work on demos and even the master recordings for some lesser known artists. But Bayless’ health changed things.

Under the knife Bayless woke up in 2007 “screaming bloody murder” with intense pain in his lower back and left flank. A trip to the emergency room told him he had a large kidney stone. However, an appointment the next day to have the stone pulverized was missed because Bayless’ father died. “I wasn’t able to take care of the stone; we rushed to Azle to be with the family,” he said. By the time he got back to Tennessee, the stone had beI’ve been everywhere, man The list of names and ventures come impacted in and dam-

A Nashville veteran musician, Terry Bayless (right), AHS Class of 1983, and his son Jacob, will perform at the Azle First Assembly of God Sunday, Nov. 2. Photo by Mark K. Campbell aged his ureter. “The first nine or 10 surgeries were to try to repair my ureter,” Bayless said. When those were unsuccessful, doctors tried to rebuild the area. Now, with more stones, that fix is badly damaged. When Bayless’ urologist suggested trying another technique using part of his bowels, he said no. “Enough is enough. So, now, every few months, they go in and clean out scar tissue and replace a stent I have in place 24/7/365,” he said. The current surgery count is 38, Bayless said. Answering the call Bayless, with his 18-yearold son Jacob, is now involved in a music ministry. The duo has recorded a praise CD as Jacob & the Believers, Praise and Worship, and Bayless said the response

has been astounding. The group, with Jacob on guitar and Bayless on his familiar keyboards, will play at the Azle First Assembly of God, 1020 Southeast Parkway, at 6 p.m., Sunday, Nov. 2.

Jacob has experience in a bevy of Nashville sessions already, Bayless said. Their record is available at cdbaby.com. Jacob & the Believers will play at the church before Bayless gives his testimony.

by mark k. campbell “What a long, strange trip it’s been,” sang the Grateful Dead in “Truckin’.” Terry Bayless, Azle High School Class of 1983, can relate. His musical journey has taken him from Main Street bars to playing with some country music greats to a medical emergency that resulted in – so far – 38 surgeries to a ministry in its infancy. And now his son Jacob is following in dad’s footsteps.
