Springtown named a Purple Heart City By Natalie Gentry The third annual Run to Remember took place on the frosty morning of Nov. 1. The event honors the military men and women who have served, fought, and died to protect our country, so the opening ceremonies were the perfect time for Mayor Doug Hughes to proclaim Springtown a Purple Heart City. “The City of Springtown has great admiration and the utmost gratitude for all the men and women of the Armed Forces who have selflessly served their country and this city, and who have borne the brunt of the battle,” Mayor Hughes said. “Purple Heart recipients are an integral part of our society,” he continued. “And it is important that we acknowledge them for their courage and show them the support they have earned.” Rhonda McRae, Springtown War

Memorial Association secretary, noted that many of the attendees were military families who realized that compared to the hardships our troops endure, braving the cold morning was a tiny sacrifice to support the city as it honored Purple Heart recipients. According to the Texas Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH) website, Springtown is now one of only 17 cities in the state designated with this honor. Other Texas Purple Heart Cities: Abernathy, Grapevine, Kerrville, Harker Heights, Katy, Lubbock, Georgetown, Nacogdoches, Rosenberg, South Padre Island, Petersburg, Tyler, Burleson, Killeen, Sugar Land, and Richmond. Springtown is the only city in Parker County – one of four Purple Heart Counties in Texas – to hold this distinction.

Springtown Mayor Doug Hughes was joined by members of the Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH) Chapter 1513 Nov. 1 during the Run to Remember opening ceremony as Springtown was designated a Purple Heart City: (l-r) MOPH 1513 Quartermaster Jon Lunkwicz, MOPH 1513 Commander Mike Pierce, Mayor Doug Hughes, and MOPH Chaplain Rupert Harrell.

Express yourself SHS students personalize parking spots By Natalie Gentry Springtown High School (SHS) students have a new way to express themselves and help raise money for Project Celebration. Beginning in September, seniors were given the opportunity to reserve parking spaces and submit designs to paint in the spaces. According to guidelines, the four foot square design proposal must be approved by an SHS administrator prior to painting. Depending on the location of the parking space, the price to reserve and decorate one ranges from $40-$100. Revenue from the fundraising effort SHS students were given the opportunity to personalize a parking space as part of a fundraiser for will be used to support the Student Project Celebration.

Sound of Springtown 11th at state marching contest

After seniors were given a time to place reservations, spaces were offered on a first-come, first-serve basis, and sold through the SHS office during student lunch periods. Students were encouraged to express themselves through the artwork, and include their name somewhere in their design. Inappropriate words, symbols, or pictures were obviously prohibited. Campus administrators have designated supervised “paint days” at the beginning of each term. Non-reserved or general parking spaces are still available for students who did not wish to purchase and decorate a parking spot. The standard parking permit must be purchased for $5, payable to SISD.

SISD Pink Out

Finals missed by 1 point By Natalie Gentry The “Sound of Springtown” (SOS) finished in eleventh place in the University Interscholastic League (UIL) State Marching Contest Monday, Nov. 3. Following a spirited send-off Sunday afternoon, SOS arrived at the Alamodome after a second place finish at the Area competition on Oct. 25. The band missed the opportunity to perform in finals by one place, a single point. “We missed finals by one point, but I couldn’t be more proud of their effort,” said Director of Bands for Springtown Independent School District (SISD) Chris McLellan. SOS was given 3, 7, and 13 rankings for music and 10 and 21 rankings for marching. The 21 – clearly at odds with the other rankings – was a SHS Drum Majors (l-r) Michala Rodriguez, Lexfactor that kept the band from advancing to finals. ie Little, and Krystina Hickey stand in front of This is the fourth time the SHS band has qualified to the Alamodome in San Antonio where Springperform at the state competition. town competed in the UIL State Marching ConThere are approximately 190 high schools in Springtest Monday, Nov. 3.

The annual SISD Pink Out took in more money than ever, sponsor Cindy Haugen said. This year’s final tally was $6,750. “Sydney Johnson and Jill Ray did an outstanding job this year,” Haugen said. A series of sales and events – like at an SHS varsity volleyball match where athletes threw pink balls into the stands – collected money, all of which went to the Joan Katz Breast Center at Baylor All Saints Medical Center in Fort Worth.

Election results: Parker County still seeing red by Natalie Gentry Republicans throughout the state prevailed in almost all 2014 elections. The local races reflected similar results in Parker County. Reno Reno voters passed Proposition 1 – a one-fourth of one percent street maintenance sales tax – 57 percent (237 votes) to 43 percent (179 votes). Poolville In the only contested race for

Poolville Independent School District Trustees, Roger Smith beat Brandon Key 69 percent (235 votes) to 31 percent (105 votes). In a close contest, Poolville residents voted against Proposition 1, which would have allowed Emergency Services District (ESD) No. 8 to annex Poolville and a section of Weatherford’s extraterritorial jurisdiction north of the city, 51 percent (457 votes) to 49 percent (445 votes). And, Proposition No. 2 – regarding accepting a proportionate share

of ESD No. 8’s debt – met the same Barnwell. fate as 57 percent (510 votes) voted against the proposition and 43 percent State State level election results continue (389 votes) voted in favor. to reflect the Republican state of mind in a clean sweep of the races.

Ladies bi-district champs after Alvarado win Vernon next for SHS by mark k. campbell A slow start in the Lady Porcupines’ bi-district match against Alvarado Nov. 3 did not deter Springtown (22-16). SHS rebounded from a 20-25 opening set loss to steam roll the Lady Indians in the next three games – 25-15, 25-19, 25-15 – in River Oaks at Castleberry High School. The victory propelled the Lady Porcupines to the Area round, set for Thursday, Nov. 6 at Bowie High School against Vernon. The Lady Lions swept Graham in Vernon’s bi-district contest. At Castleberry, senior leader

Brooklyn Dauenhauer had a marvelous match. She killed a stunning 26 balls – Springtown had 45 total in the four sets – blocked a ball, and served an ace. Kendyl Dean led SHS in digs with 10. At the net, the Lady Porcupines shone with several getting blocks. Ashton Weaver led with 3.5 and Gabby Terry was right behind with 3. Kelly Boyett, Brittany Stroud, and Dauenhauer all had a solo block. Concerning the slow start, Coach Leighann Strickland said, “We were able to get a little offense working and that While an Alvarado player waits for a ball in River Oaks during SHS’ bi-district playoff match, Lady Porcupines helped us pull away.” Sydney Farris (1), Ekko Hurst (9), and Gabby Terry (3) keep an eye on it, too.

Playoff position locked in after romp of Lake Worth by mark k. campbell A huge first half in Lake Worth assured the Porcupine football team of not only a victory but a playoff berth, too. Springtown (6-3, 3-1) turned a 30-10 halftime lead into a 44-

10 victory over the Bullfrogs. With Kennedale dodging a bullet against feisty Alvarado (30-27), SHS will end up second in 5-4A and face Sanger in bi-district. At Lake Worth, the Porcu-

pines took the lead just 55 seconds into the game. That’s when QB Austin Bauman hit Mykeal Cummings for a 61-yard TD pass. After a Frog field goal, Bauman scored on a run then SHS

got a safety. Lake Worth scored in the second quarter to get to within 16-10. But Springtown tallied all the rest of the game’s points, 28, four touchdowns. Bauman, filling in admirable

since an injury to starter Kaleb Chesney, had a hand in three of those scores. First he ran over from the 10 with 2:14 left in the half. Before the horn, Dillon Springfield scored with 40 seconds

left on a 9-yard jaunt. That 30-10 lead grew in the third quarter when Brandon Santos caught an 8-yard TD pass from Bauman. PLEASE SEE SHS, PAGE 9A.

Springtown is playoff-bound, thanks in large part to the defense that includes: (l-r) Martine Medina (63), Jesse Springfield (73), Robert Dease (62), Damien Spraberry (28), Jarrod Nelson (3), and Fisher Drewry (19). After the season finale against Castleberry at home, the Porcupines will face Sanger in bi-district. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

Swanzys wins contest again Once again, the Swanzy family proved tough to beat in the weekly football contest. This time, members of the family took the top two places. Eddy Swanzy turned in a perfect 12-0 card and won the $20 first place cash. Three prognosticators missed one game each, kicking in the tie-breaker of TCU 31, West Virginia 30 (61) With her guess of 71 on the tie-breaker, Margaret Swanzy took the $10 second place award. Third place and $5 went to Clyde Bradshaw who predicted a score of 78. Too far off on the tie-breaker was Wade Daniels with a guess of 83. This week’s contest is the last for 2014. However, it will return next August.

Promising hoops season ahead for Porcupines, says SHS coach by mark k. campbell James Rike likes Springtown. After coaching stops in Abilene, Athens, and Abilene again, he found his way here – where he will shortly begin his seventh year as the leader of the Porcupine hoops program. Already, Rike told Springtown Optimists Nov. 4, his squads are practicing at 6 a.m. “Our outlook is good,” he said about the upcoming season. “I’m proud of what we’ve done early.” Part of that preseason conditioning is having Porcupines run the daunting stadium bleachers every Friday. That’s the kind of effort that wins, he noted. “You’re only as good as your best leaders,” Rike said. He lauded a couple of “leaders” in attendance, Zach Burton and Dawson Meeks. Rike said Burton could have already graduated and has been offered a chance to attend elite Cal Tech. Burton and Dawson, who has started since his sophJames Rike is entering his seventh season coaching omore season, are the “meat of the SHS boys hoops squad. Photo by Mark K. Campbell our team,” Rike said.

Springtown has been to the postseason the last two years and should return again. Rike played his high school ball in the West Texas town of Haskell. From there, he walked on at Texas Tech before beginning his high school coaching career at Abilene Cooper. From there, he traveled across the state to Athens in East Texas where he met his wife Julie. They returned to Abilene Cooper before Rike started seeking out a head coaching job. He knew and had played with a former SHS coach, Harper Stewart. Rike was sold. “The Lord sent us here,” Rike said. Expect the Porcupines to be defensive minded. Rike said Springtown’s magic number is 52: “We win 80 percent of our games when we hold our opponent under 52 points.” He considers his job important. “We’re turning teens out into the real world. We must empower them to be responsible for their own actions.”

No one expected fireworks at the annual Region I cross country meet at Lubbock’s Mae Simmons Park on Halloween. And none came. But all seven of the eight Springtown competitors at the elite meet were underclassmen. The Lady Porcupine team was led by junior Sharaia Stout who ran the grueling two-mile route in 13 minutes, 26 seconds. Two other juniors – Harley Phares and Kristine Camacho – followed Stout in. Springtown’s lone boy running, Alan Tarango, is a junior who ran three miles in 17:54. Coach Trent Davis said, “I wanted the runners to use this year as a learning experience. I wanted them to see what it was like to run with the big boys and girls.” The coach said he was very pleased with the progress of Juniors Harley Phares (125) and Kristine Camacho gained valuable experience at the the two squads. “We made regional cross country meet, coach Trent Davis said.

A poem by any other name will still be unread

try. Occasionally, I pick up a book of poetry and try to get through it. But, like with classical music or jazz, I soon find my mind wandering. Oh, certain pieces of high society art have stuck with me through the years. I know lots of classical music – well, bits of famous pieces – thanks to old Bugs Bunny cartoons I watched every Saturday morning as a kid. (Did you know that commercial channels no longer show Saturday morning cartoons? Now it’s all juicer infomercials and those endless American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals tearjerkers set to mournful Sarah McLachlan ballads. [Even she turns the channel when they come on, McLachlan says.]) I know that it’s very hip to like jazz. I am knowledgeable enough to drop names like Miles Davis and Thelonious Monk, but I couldn’t make it through the former’s Kind of Blue, the “greatest jazz album of all time.” (However, I should also mention I know “Take Five” by Dave Brubeck, but only because it became a Top 40 hit in 1961, reaching No. 25.) Poetry is tough, too. As an English Literature minor, I’ve read a lot of

stuff. Just not much poetry. Oh, I can recite plenty of it, still entombed in my webby memory forever more, parts of “The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe and some Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost. Poetry used to be the realm of the creative super writer, many pinned with the title of U.S. poet laureate. I’m sure you know our current one is Charles Wright. (Of course I Googled it!) It all started back in 1937 with Joseph Auslander. Occasionally, there’s a name in poets laureate history that is recognizable: Robert Penn Warren (1944-45 and again in 1986-87 when the title was changed to Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry); Frost (195859, owner of four Pulitzer Prizes! for poetry!), and James Dickey (1966-68 who I really only know for his novel Deliverance which I saw as a movie starring Burt Reynolds in a theater in downtown Dallas when I was a senior attending a National Beta Club function in 1972 and was forever more traumatized by the words “squeal like a pig” which has very little to do with poetry yet still conjures up vivid, troubling images). Poetry looks easy. Just like when reading a Stephen King book, one thinks, well, I could do that – until one tries. Like a Dr. Seuss book, simple

doesn’t mean easy. That’s not to say I haven’t had a go at writing poetry through the years. In the interest of full disclosure, the first thing I ON YOUR ever had printed – as a LeonMARK ard Middle Mark K. Campbell School eighth grader in 1970 – was a poem about Frankenstein’s Monster. However, my poetry winning streak ended at one. Still, I have bits and pieces of efforts stashed hither and yon. They stay stashed because they are horrible. Here’s an example, penned, it says on the rumbled piece of small lined notebook paper, on Sept. 3, 2003, not long before the singer Warren Zevon, most notable to mainstream mankind as the author of “Werewolves of London,” died. I recall the romantic setting where I scribbled way – behind Arlington Fire Station No. 15 after supper. I felt

inspired, but it must’ve been Scott’s stomaching-challenging cooking because this is what came out: He led a good life right up to the end, Always “weird” – something he never bothered to defend. He wrote and sang what he saw and heard. And often pressed on beyond the absurd. A hit in his youth among those off the path, Yet not a giant success; he never sweated the math. He roamed where he wanted and few can say that. His lifework was everywhere, to be exact. Pee-yew! Thankfully for humanity, we caught a major accident and the poem crashed and burned, never returned to. My eighth grade poem was way better. Amazingly, no one has yet contacted me to be the next Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry. Still, I feel I’m not living life to its fullest by not consuming some poetry at least occasionally. So, when I was at the Azle Memorial Library and saw a “free book” rack, I stopped. What better way to expand one’s mind than to do it for free. There, curiously untouched (and

maybe never opened), was a 1966 translation of Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko. Bratsk Station and Other New Poems was issued as part of a series called “Books that Matter” by an Australian publisher. You can tell it’s important right off the bat because the poems don’t rhyme. Back in ‘66, a rhyming app for phones was in its earliest stages. I cracked the book open, determined to cram some culture in me no matter what. How fitting that, in early November, I fell on page 203 and “Autumn”: Inside me the season is autumn, the chill is in me, you can see through me, and I am sad, but not altogether cheerless, and filled with humility and goodness. But if I rage sometimes, then I am the one whose rage is shedding my leaves –– Zzzzzzzz. Huh? What?! Sorry I dozed off there. Maybe I could hang in there with it more if Foghorn Leghorn was reading it... Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and has destoryed an enormous amount of self-penned poetry. You’re welcome.

The 2014 elections by the numbers

ith a historic Republican wave of victories, this is how Texans voted (based on exit polls): In the governor’s race, Republican Greg Abbott won the women’s vote with 59 percent. Sixty-five percent of men voted for Abbott. His rival, Democrat Wendy Davis, won the Hispanic vote with 57 percent. She also took the African-American vote by a whopping 93 to 7 percent. Most voters in Texas are white, 65 percent of the electorate; 72 percent of them voted for Abbot. The remainder of the Texas electorate: Latinos at 18 percent, AfricanAmericans at 12 percent, and Asians at 2 percent. Abbott won almost every county in the state. Davis took a large swath of counties along the Rio Grande. The lone nonborder counties won by Davis were Travis where she took 63 percent and Dallas County where she defeated Abbott 63 to 34 percent.

The British point of view – American Loyalists, Part 5

bout 4,000 Loyalists, mainly the types most able to survive, but few with the quasiurban background of their eastern brethren, went up through New York state to settle Kingston and Niagara and being better suited to the frontier struggle which faced them, formed the nucleus of what is now Ontario. Their provincial flag incorporates a union canton, showing their Loyalist heritage and their motto 'Ut incepit Fidelis sic permanent' means Loyal she began loyal she remains. “Others fled to either Florida (then British), Bermuda, Bahamas/Abaco/ Eleuthera/Exuma, Turks & Caicos, Jamaica, Dominica, St Lucia, the Miskito Coast (later to British Honduras now Belize) and Sierra Leone. Those that arrived in Britain were in a pitiable situation, so much so that Lord North the Prime Minister, intended to arrange for them to be given passage

took place in Massachusetts from 1786 to 1787 against crippling taxation which had caused most to fall deeply in debt and then as a consequence faced them with either HISTORICAL HIGHLIGHTS imprisonment or their propconfisLaurie Moseley erty cated for the state to sell. This popular rebellion led by Daniel Shays, was crushed when nearly all of its leaders were caught and sentenced to death, Daniel Shays died in dire poverty. “In 1796 the British tried again to get compensation for the Loyalists by agreeing to withdraw from forts in

Ohio country, if the Americans would agree to act more effectively on Loyalists claims. The British withdrew on schedule but the Loyalist claims were never settled, even though the British did all they could to pacify the Indians “The final injustice was that the Loyalists were made to disappear and what force of arms could not erase, US historians have so diligently buried, so that their persecution remains ignored and forgotten. “In 1812, while Britain was at the height of her struggle with a Napoleon led Europe, that Madison and his party were aiding, Britain's very survival was at stake, so she naturally tried to impound this aid. In response the Anglophobic US War Hawks knowing Britain was unlikely to be able to reinforce her meagre 5,000 man force in Canada and as the total population of Canada was only appoximately 500,000 against around 7,500,000 million in the USA, thought it was a good time to take advantage of Brit-

ain’s preoccupation. “So they claimed the British were arming the Indians, (when the truth was they didn’t have enough arms for themselves), grossly inflated the number of American sailors seized in error while boarding their ships to retrieve (poached) enlisted seamen and persuaded Madison, despite the suffering already inflicted on the Loyalists, to declare war and try to annex Canada which would effectively steal their land again. “America used its considerable skill of propaganda to try to get the Canadians to switch allegiance and join the USA, but the Loyalists knew the worthlessness of President Madison's pompous proclamations and promises and wisely remained deeply distrusting of the US and its brand of republicanism.” Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

Secretary of State posts early voting turnout numbers

he Secretary of State’s Elections Division on Oct. 31 posted early voting turnouts for each of the state’s 15 highest-population counties: Harris, Dallas, Tarrant, Bexar, Travis, Collin, Denton, El Paso, Fort Bend, Hidalgo, Montgomery, Williamson, Galveston, Nueces and Cameron. Of the 8,978,313 registered voters in those counties, 1,715,731 voted early in person or by mail. That’s a 19.11 percent cumulative early voting percentage. To compare with the last midterm election, in 2010, the cumulative early voting total for those 15 counties was 1,731,589 ballots cast out of 8,339,034 registered voters, or 20.76 percent of the total. After polls close at 7 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 4, anyone with an Internet connection will be able to access vote tabulations posted by the Office of the Secretary of State’s at the website www.sos.state.

tx.us. Election results in races for statewide offices will be recapped in next week’s State Capital Highlights column. Governor greets Toyota Gov. Rick Perry on Oct. 27 welcomed New York, N.Y.based Toyota Motor North America Inc. to Plano, where its new headquarters will be built. The manufacturer’s relocation to Plano is supported by a $40 million investment from the business-luring Texas Enterprise Fund administered by the governor’s office. The facility, to be completed in late 2016 or early 2017, will bring nearly 4,000 jobs and more than $300 million in capital investment to North Texas, according to Perry’s Oct. 27 statement. Toyota Motor North America, combined with 21 onsite suppliers, already supports some 6,000 jobs in San Antonio, including 2,900 from its $2.3 billion manufacturing plant. TxDOT ends gravel policy Texas Department of Trans-

In an Oct. 24 letter to the Legislative Budget Board, TxDOT announced the formal termination of its “high-end unpaved road conversion policy” and requested access to $402 million in additional funding for Fiscal Year 2015 with half going to safety projects across the state and the remainder toward

roadways affected by the state’s growing energy sector. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst praised TxDOT’s announcement, saying, “Texas families and businesses in both rural and urban areas deserve a comprehensive first-rate transportation system and they’ll get it.” Nurse recovers from Ebola Texas Department of State Health Services Commissioner Dr. David Lakey on Oct. 28 expressed relief when Amber Vinson, a nurse with Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, was declared free of the Ebola virus last week. She was in isolation and receiving treatment at Emory University Hospital in Atlanta. “We are so pleased that Amber Vinson has been declared free of Ebola. She is one of the health care workers who bravely provided care to the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States. Through excellent health care and her own courage, she beat the disease. Based on the clinical and lab

findings, people are not at risk of getting the disease from her, and she has been completely cleared. We wish her the best as she transitions back to a normal life, and we welcome her back home to Texas,” Lakey said in an official statement. Summit focuses on bullying “Bullying remains one of the most prevalent and widely discussed topics pertaining to school safety and security,” Texas Education Agency announced during Texas Safe Schools Week, Oct. 19-25. During the week, Texas School Safety Center at Texas State University in San Marcos and the Texas Education Agency spotlighted resources available to help school districts and charters address and combat bullying and cyber-bullying on campuses. Also, Texas School Safety Center presented the 2nd Annual Texas Bully Prevention Summit on Oct. 30 in San Marcos.

Drought conditions persist Gov. Perry on Oct. 28 announced the renewal of the emergency disaster proclamation the governor originally had signed in July 2011, certifying that exceptional drought conditions posed a threat of imminent disaster in specified counties in Texas. This month, the proclamation applies to 98 of the state’s 254 counties. In contrast, the proclamation applied to 113 specified counties last month. The drought proclamation directs that “all necessary measures, both public and private” as authorized by state law “be implemented to meet that threat” and “all rules and regulations that may inhibit or prevent prompt response to this threat are suspended for the duration of the state of disaster.” Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

How can wisdom meet energy?

re you as tired as I of the negativity and hyperbole of the election season? Thankfully, we can soon move on to what’s next. Something that amazes me is how those who come in second (a much nicer term than “losers”) congratulate and commit to work with those whom they have spent the past months vilifying. I guess they are hoping that their controversial and accusatory statements will be forgotten and they will still have a place at the table. I’m not much into making controversial statements. I am, however, into making statements and asking questions that cause people to pause and think. I made a couple of those in last week’s column, “What happens when wisdom meets energy?” I think there are a couple of near-universal truths here: 1. Most young leaders think they are wiser than they really

Neither of those conclu- energy that comes through gensions is true, but I hope I have erously investing in the next sparked some contemplation on generation. The only way this relationwhat it would be like if the wisdom of experience could meet ship can work is for both to apthe energy of youth. So how proach it with humility. Young

leaders need humility to allow someone to speak into their lives. Older leaders need humility to value the wisdom that young leaders do have and to resist the temptation to “talk down” to them. When I think of an effective mentoring relationship, I think of Paul and Timothy. In 1 and 2 Timothy we see how Paul talked “to” Timothy. In Romans, 1 & 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, and Philemon, we see how Paul talked “about” Timothy. Both matter. No matter where we are on the age spectrum, we have much to learn and much to share. What is the next step for you in the quest to connect wisdom and energy?

Movie Man

Thursday, November 6, 2014

Nightcrawler like an old school 70’s crime drama “Gritty” movies have been around for a while. From the film noir pictures of the 1940’s and early ‘50’s to the realistic crime movies of the 1970’s, there’s a history of dark, macho movies that evolved into a genre. Today, movies that look a certain way are deemed to be a throwback to those “gritty films of the ‘70’s” – like Dog Day Afternoon (1975) or Serpico (1973.) And this week’s movie, Nightcrawler, is another modern movie that is a mirroring of that era’s style. Now, having said all that in this introduction, let’s go off in a different direction. About the film (kinda) Another genre off–the-beaten path folks can venture down in theaters is the weirdo movie, the indecipherable, the movie that doesn’t spell everything out, that leaves things unattended to or flat-out mysterious. Nightcrawler stars Jake Gyllenhaal and he once had the lead in of those queer classics. But, before we get to that one – that itself is a freak of nature even in that huh? genre – here’s a couple of movies that have defied traditional conclusions. Naturally, there are short or basically unheard of films that dare to be non-conformist for non-conformist’s sake. However, occasionally a mainstream movie comes along that is left open to interpretation. Perhaps the most famous is 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Even today, it’s either beloved or detested, for its creeping pace as well as its curious, sensoryaltering ending that thousands have taken a crack at solving. Even today, the film remains an enigma with plenty of guesses but no definitive answers. Another movie, far less popular but a film school regular and a bona fide “cult classic” is Mulholland Dr. (2001). Made by the wonderfully weird David Lynch, the movie is seen by many as incoherent. It’s not, but, like many of its ilk, Mul-

holland Dr. requires multiple viewings. Is it a dream? If so, when does the dream begin? Or end? What’s with the little (literally) old couple? And that dumpster scene? Lynch, in a DVD extra, gave viewers some “things to watch for” to help them crack the movie. (One hint comes before the opening credits; another is a red lamp.) The clues likely caused more confusion than before, which is very Lynchian. Then there’s Donnie Darko (2001) starring Gyllenhaal. It had the great misfortune of coming out just a month after 9/11 – and there’s a plane crash in it. The film disappeared from theaters but found a gigantic home audience. The movie is very strange and, to boot, contains two fantastic music montages (to Tears for Fears’ “Head Over Heels” and Gary Jules’ “Mad World” [originally a Tears for Fears song (done very differently by the duo)]). The picture is a mishmash of many genres, including time travel sci-fi, horror, mystery, and family drama. For years, fans debated Donnie Darko’s meaning. Then, came a first: Director Richard Kelly released a special edition that explained everything. Fans were beside themselves that the creative genius had dared to explain himself. It was unheard of. Kelly not only dashed scores of longpondered theories but raised the ire of so many. Well, to get back to Nightwalker, there’s not much of a weird movie connection, barring the strangeness of Gyllenhaal’s character – it’s no Donnie Darko, but his Louis Bloom is pretty bizarre.

thanks to the many “educational” cyber-sites he has visited. Late one night, he comes upon an accident and watches Joe Loder (Fort Worth’s Bill Paxton) jump out and film the carnage. After seeing the footage the next day on TV, Gyllenhaal is sure he can do the job. With a cheap video camera, he manages to slowly build a reputation selling grisly footage to Nina (Rene Russo), the news director to the lowest rated TV station in town. Gyllenhaal eventually hires an “intern,” Rick (Riz Ahmed), and the duo becomes the top nocturnal crime chasers – nightcrawlers – in town. Soon, Gyllenhaal has a fast car and, with his calm yet slightly menacing demeanor, he has Russo in a desperate situation – she needs what he has. But, in his quest to be first and goriest, Gyllenhaal begins bending the rules, first moving a bloody body so he can get a better shot, then beating even the police to a triple homicide where he films not only the bodies but the killers’ escape. He decides to rig a meeting where the killers and the cops converge in a situation where The plot he can film what will surely be a Bloom is a strange fellow, a massacre.

She’s quickly put into a compromising situation – which Gyllenhaal, in a business and personal sense – quickly exploits. The scene where they go out on a “date” is full-bore unsettling, with Gyllenhaal’s bug eyes and skull-like grin and Russo’s sad knowledge that she knows where this relationship is going amping things up. The film is an homage to those grainy ‘70’s movies, all the way down to the curious resemblance Ahmed has to John Cazale from Dog Day Afternoon to the way the film

Veterans Day 95 years old by mark k. campbell When the “war to end all wars” – WWI – finally came to an official end in June 1918, fighting had already stopped seven months before. That was because a temporary cessation of battle, an armistice, had been signed back in November. Since that cease-fire was begun on the “11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month,” November 11 was the day chosen by President Woodrow Wilson to honor those who fought in the Great War. Christened Armistice Day in November 1919, every November 11 Americans acknowledged the great debt owed to so many. Originally, businesses were to close briefly at 11 a.m. every November 11 as Armistice Day was recognized with parades and public meetings. Already commemorated by 27 states, the day was officially sanctioned nationally on June 4, 1926 when Congress passed a resolution. Twelve years later, on May 13, 1938, Armistice Day became an American legal holiday, “a day dedicated to the cause of world peace” and remembering the sacrifices of

WWI vets. But more wars were fought. With the coming of World War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day on June 1, 1954; several veterans’ organizations pushed for the change. November 11 became a day to honor veterans of all wars and conflicts. In June 1968, the Uniform Holiday Bill was passed. Veterans Day – with Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, and Columbus Day – was moved to varying Mondays to give federal workers three-day holidays. The date change was not welcomed. First tried October 25, 1971, there was confusion throughout the country. In fact, many states did not honor the change at all and kept November 11 as the day they acknowledged as Veterans Day. President Gerald Ford, seeing the unpopularity of the Uniform Holiday Bill, signed a new law. He saw that Americans placed importance on November 11, historically and patriotically. So Ford, on September 25, 1975, moved Veterans Day of-

ficially back to November 11, a move that many state legislatures and service organizations supported. Today, Veterans Day is honored every November 11, re-

gardless of the day on which it falls, honoring veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to sacrifice and serve for the common good.

TRC adopts new rules aimed at reducing Texas earthquakes by carla noah stutsman Almost a year after Reno, Azle and Springtown residents felt the jolt of the first-ever earthquake in the area, the Texas Railroad Commission (TRC) adopted amended rules directed at disposal well operations in areas of historical or future seismic activity. On Tuesday evening, Nov. 5, 2013, the news spread quickly – the first known earthquake had occurred in the area. That was big news in itself, since none had ever been recorded in the tri-county area. But that initial earthquake, 2.6 in magnitude, was just the beginning – they just kept coming. On Tuesday, Nov. 19, several people attending a city council meeting at Azle City Hall discussed the quakes as they waited for the meeting to begin, and there were at least a couple who were not convinced the anomalies were, in fact, earthquakes. They became believers at 6:40 p.m. that evening, when a 3.6 magnitude tremblor shook the entire building with a sudden and very loud “bang.” That quake was the 11th recorded in the two weeks since they began. By the end of Janu-

ary 2014, there had been more than 30 quakes. Commissioner David Porter came to Azle with TRC staff members Jan. 8 to host a Town Hall meeting to receive input from area residents about the series of earthquakes. More than 800 people descended in the auditorium at Azle High School that evening, and most were already convinced that one or more injection wells used to dispose of wastewater from oil and gas wells were to blame. Shortly after that Town Hall meeting, the quakes stopped, just as suddenly and mysteriously as they had started. But area citizens, along with the mayors of both Azle and Reno, took the fight for more regulation for disposal wells to Austin, where they testified before a special sub-committee created by the Texas House to look into seismic activity in the state. In the meantime, researchers from Southern Methodist University installed seismographic equipment provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in the area and began tracking seismic activity. The TRC hired its own seis-

the agency doesn’t stop there. “I appreciate the steps they have taken, and that they moved as quickly as they have,” Stokes said. “I’m sure it’s exasperating for them – it seems to me they both promote and regulate the oil and gas industry. I think they need to do one or the other.” Alan Brundrett, Azle’s Mayor, agreed with Stokes that the new rules are a good first step. “While the rules could have been more strict, I believe they are adequate for the time being,” Brundrett said. “The TRC did adopt a few of our suggestions which shows they did listen to what we said.” “They have been very good to work with – they stay in contact with me to inform me of any proposed new rules and they ask me for feedback,” he continued. “Overall I think the TRC has done a good job addressing our concerns and Rep. Phil King has been a big help with the whole earthquake situation.”

mologist, Dr. David Craig Pearson, in late March to explore the impact of seismic activity on gas and oil operations. On Oct. 28, about a week shy of the one-year anniversary of the first Azle/Reno area quake, the TRC unanimously adopted disposal well rule amendments they say are designed to address disposal well operations in areas of historical or future seismic activity. The main components of the adopted rule amendments, which become effective Nov. 17, are: • requiring applicants for new disposal wells to conduct a search of the U.S. Geological Survey seismic database for historical earthquakes within a circular area of 100 square miles around a proposed, new disposal well; • clarifying the Commission’s staff authority to modify or suspend or terminate a disposal well permit, including modifying disposal volumes and pressures or shutting in a well if scientific data indicates a disposal well is likely to be or determined to be contributing to seismic activity; • allowing Commission staff to require operators to disclose the current annually reported volumes and pressures on a more frequent basis if staff determines a need for this information; and • allowing Commission staff to require an applicant for a disposal well permit to provide additional information, including pressure front boundary calculations, to demonstrate that disposal fluids will remain confined if the well is to be located in an area where conditions exist that may increase the risk that the fluids may not be confined. Reno Mayor Lynda Stokes says she thinks the TRC’s adoption of amended rules is a step in the right direction, but hopes
