January Chamber luncheon speakers focus on the year ahead By Natalie Gentry Springtown City Administrator, Doug Hughes addressed Springtown Chamber of Commerce members about the undertakings the city has planned at a Jan. 22 luncheon. He highlighted some of the projects that Springtown has completed in recent years including the completion of Pojo Drive, the addition of the Springtown Municipal Court Annex Building, the expansion of the city’s water treatment plant, and the completion of the SplashPad. “One addition I always like to bring up is the completion of the Springtown War Memorial,” Hughes said. “I know many people may not see it often, but it honors our military service members that have given so much for us.” Hughes noted that the city is currently working with Parker County to widen Walnut Creek down my Highway 199 and FM 51. “You may not be able to see progress yet, but you soon will once the bid is awarded to a contractor,” he said. “The city and county are splitting the cost of this project 50/50 to help with flood mitigation.” This project will also allow for Optimist Park to be connected to the other city parks via a path under the North Main Street Bridge. Hughes also noted that the Tabernacle Improvement Committee has raised $66,000 to date for planned renovations to one of the Springtown’s highly

Lois Eleanor Graham

Howard Sherwood

1925-2015

1934-2015

Lois Eleanor Graham went to be with her Lord on Tuesday, February 3, 2015. A funeral service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at New Hope Baptist Church. Interment at Damascus Cemetery in Lindale. Visitation from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at White’s Azle Funeral Home. Lois was born the eldest daughter of Jarvis and Thelma Hyde on April 19, 1925 in Twinning, Michigan. Lois grew up and graduated high school in Michigan. A work opportunity and a chance for a new life helped Lois choose to make a move to Dallas, Texas where she worked and saved until she was able to enroll at Baylor University. It was there she met the love of her life, Preston Graham. Preston passed away in February of 2013. They were married 61 years at the time. Preston and Lois served together as educators around the state of Texas before

coming to Groves, Texas where Lois finished her career as a counselor to juniors at Thomas Jefferson High School. Lois retired after 34 years serving as teacher, librarian, and counselor. After retirement Preston and Lois moved to central Texas to be near their children. They bought a lake place on Cedar Creek Lake and a residence in Corsicana, Texas. In 2003 they sold their home and moved to be near their children in the DFW metroplex. Locating in Azle, they joined New Hope Baptist Church where their son-inlaw, Jim Edwards, is pastor. They faithfully served until 2009 when Lois began to have trouble walking. Although her conditioned worsened until the day she died, she was never short of a smile, never lost her sense of humor, and never complained. She was always a kind, gentle soul truly an earthly reflection of her Savior. Although she was raised in very humble circumstances, she earned a BA degree from Baylor University, 2 Master’s Degrees, and supported her husband and family as he received his PhD in Education. They are together now. They both died in February, the month of love. Lois was just short of her 90th birthday.

Pumped up Springtown powerlifters post victories by mark k. campbell Springtown High School athletes moved a lot of pounds recently. The boys powerlifting team hosted Aledo and Saginaw and several Porcupines impressed. Five SHS athletes won their weight groups while Springtown earned the team title, Coach Jim Lemons noted. One golden lifter, Jesse Springfield who competed at 275 pounds, finished with a meet-high 1,285 total pounds. He squatted 500 pounds, benched 285, and deadlifted 500 – all three lifts were the

best of the event. In the super heavyweight division, Brian Brooks won at 1,110 pounds. Also taking first: Martin Medina (220-pound division/1,195 pounds); Guillermo Pando (198/905); and Jarod Nelson (165/1,080). Brian Santos took second at 181 with a total of 900. Another runner-up was Barrett Tedder who moved 950 pounds in the 165 class, finishing behind teammate Nelson. Chandler Chenault took third at 181 with 885 pounds.

Hayden Quinn also finished third at 165 with 895 pounds giving SHS a sweep of the top three in that weight class. Also placing were Omar Lopez (148/755); Mateo Herrera (181/820); Jonathan Chavez (165/825); Wesley Williams (181/465); Suleman Uddin (165/765); and Nolan Tucker (165/730). Next up for the Porcupines is the “league championship” at Azle Feb. 24. The Lady Porcupines competed in two meets and saw fine performances in both. At Perrin, coach Missy Cas-

tro took her young charges to a meet that was packed with 130 lifers, she recalled. Six Springtown girls made the trip and SHS took sixth overall. Tabi Rodgers, competing in the 198 pound class, won the event with a total of 875 pounds including team highs in squat (390), dead (315), and bench (135) lifts. She was voted Best Lifter in the heavyweight division. At 105 pounds, Alli Roglin turned in the next highest finishing performance, second with 530 total pounds.

Right behind was Kati Roglin who took third moving 525 pounds. Jill Rutherford pushed 600 pounds to finish fifth in the 148 class. Taylor Ervin placed 14th at 123 with a total of 595. Coach Castro said, “Some girls increased their totals by more than 50 pounds.” Next, the Lady Porcupines headed to Santo. With only five girls competing – half the team – Springtown still won the event. Four athletes finished first with one, Martha Chavez, be-

ing named the heavyweight Top Lifter. The veteran Chavez, competing in the 181 class, earned the top spot with 900 total pounds that included an impressive 170-pound bench press. At 97 pounds, Jenny Lopez took the gold with a 470 total. Also claiming top spots: Rian Kinney (114/610) and Sydney Counts (220/785). Rutherford, at 148, finished second with a total of 660 pounds. Still on the schedule are meets at Stephenville (Feb. 21) and district at Wylie (Feb. 28).

The first time around in 8-4A That didn’t happen in the secgirls basketball, Bridgeport ond meeting, at the SHS gym handled Springtown, winning Jan. 30. With senior leader Brooklyn Dauenhauer pouring in 34 points, Springtown built a lead that lasted until very late in the game. Missing some key free throws in the waning ticks cost SHS as Bridgeport came back to win a nail-biter, 61-59. The Lady Porcupines sped out to a 9-point halftime lead and even controlled the game with a 4-point advantage entering the fourth quarter. But, SHS Coach Susan Croft recalled, “They went ahead with two minutes left, and we couldn’t convert on some key free throws at the end of the game.” The contest was a track meet as the Lady Porcupines played a full court, man-to-man defense the entire game, “something we haven’t done all season,” Croft said. “It was an intense and agMolly Gideon scored 3 gressive game.” The contest saw a whopping points against Bridgeport.

SHS shot 63 percent and the Sissies just 41 percent there. Dauenhauer led with those 34 points, of course. She also stole 9 balls and grabbed 8 rebounds. Khristin Mote had 8 boards and 6 points while Gabby Terry pulled down 6 rebounds and scored 6 points. Bailey Willet got 4 and Kendyl Dean and Molly Gideon netted 3 points apiece. Coach Croft said Chayton Seabourn and Adrienne Easter both scored and turned in “key” defensive efforts.

Bulls take down the Porcupines The Springtown boys basketball team is following the same path as the girls: win one, lose one. That strategy will work if the Porcupines make sure to again take care of Lake Worth and Castleberry in the second round of 8-4A action. The first round ended at home against Bridgeport Jan. 30. The Bulls, paced by a trio of players with connections to the Dallas Mavericks organization, sped out to a 25-9 first quarter lead and went on to win 65-45 Jan. 30. For the Porcupines Jared Green led the way with 11 points. SHS shot 43 field goals, making 14 with Green’s 4 tops.

Brawner got 4 apiece. Bridgeport, ranked No. 5 in 4A in Texas, showed why, dominating the boards; no Porcupine had more than 4 rebounds. There’s no rest for the weary: Springtown hosts Decatur Feb. 10; the Eagles are slotted No. 15 in the state by the Texas Basketball Coaches Association.

Soccer teams see familar foe Before the beginning of district play for the Springtown soccer squads, the SHS varsity athletes faced Mineral Wells again. The boys (3-2-1) got revenge on an earlier 2-0 loss by skunking the Rams 3-0. Coach Trent Davis said, “The boys played as a team and not as individuals for the first time all year and it showed. “All three goals were beautifully executed.”

Two of those scores came off the foot of Ricky Reynoso and another from Alan Tarango. Richard Najera and Oscar Rangal both had assists. After that first loss to the Rams, Coach Davis said, “I knew we were much better than we showed on that particular night.” One match remains for the Porcupines before district starts – a rescheduled clash with Keene Smith at 7 p.m. Satur-

day, Feb. 7. The varsity girls (2-5) fell to the Lady Rams 3-0; in their first meeting, Mineral Wells had won 5-0. Coach Davis said, “Improvement was made on the scoreboard. We played a much stronger second half.” A win followed the MWHS match, over Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis, 4-0. Lynn Guest booted in two goals and so did Brianna Esco-

bar. “The girls played much more controlled and composed than we have up until now; that was a factor in us being able to execute passes that put us in attacking situations,” Davis said. The varsity girls play at Burkburnett in the District 3-4A opener Feb. 17. The JV girls (2-4) beat Diamond Hill 1-0 with a goal by Scottie Holmes. District is next for the JV, too.

SHS wrestling coach Tye Adams said several “accomplished” Porcupines have a shot at advancing out of the district tournament Saturday, Feb. 7 at Chisholm Trail HS. He especially singled out Sam Lund, Hunter Robinson, Charlie Emmert, and Caice O’Grady. The coach added that Jesse Springfield and Aiden Baxley will challenge for third or fourth.

Does a $14 hamburger hit on all cylinders?

nce upon a time, a hamburger was made of just ground beef, American cheese, and various and sundry vegetables. You could get a bagful of them from Griff’s for a dollar. Sadly, neither of those are true anymore. In fact, recently it took a lot of dollars for just one burger. The Bride and I stopped by a snazzy new restaurant just off the Weatherford Square. It houses a car museum, including an old LBJ Lincoln. You know going in that this place ain’t cheap – the prices are posted right up front. (Which sent a few din-

This concoction was freakishly rare. I sent it back. That’s right! I sent it back! “Chef, please let the grill actually touch the meat this time.” Lots more time passed. The Bride got up and went to look at all the groovy cars. The burger returned along with heartfelt apologies from the waitress. Once again, it looked fantastic. Checking this time for its redness, it appeared to be perfect. However, now

there was an even bigger problem: onions. Even though they are wonderfully caramelized and are apparently organic and free-range, they are still onions, Satan’s vegetable. I spent 10 minutes picking them out. It took a while; they had melded with the cheddar cheese and bacon. Eventually, I ate that $14 burger. And it was pretty good – maybe not $14 good, but decent. But I missed some onions so it ended up being a two Gas-X burger. I miss Griff’s – one dollar, zero GasX. Mark K.

The knowledge of this condition of the border prevented members of a desperado gang from attempting to rescue prisoners, for such an attempt meant instant death to the captives.” John King Fisher was never convicted.

Budget-writing process begins in Senate committee

n Jan. 28 the main work of the Texas Legislature started when the state budget-writing Senate Finance Committee met at the Capitol. Financial figures for the committee to use as a guide come from the 10-member Legislative Budget Board, a permanent joint committee of the House and Senate that develops budget and policy recommendations for appropriations, completes fiscal analyses for proposed legislation and conducts evaluations and reviews to improve the efficiency and performance of state and local operations. In its budget estimate, the Legislative Budget Board recommends a $205 billion state budget for the 2016-2017 fiscal biennium. The current 2014-2015 budget is estimated at $202 billion. The biggest chunks of the 2016-2017 recommended budget are $77.5

billion for education, $75 billion for health and human services and $30 billion for business and economic development. As set forth in state law, the 10-member “LBB” is cochaired by the lieutenant governor, who presides over the Senate, and the speaker of the House, and includes the chair of the Senate Finance Committee, the chair of the House Appropriations Committee; the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee; three members of the Senate appointed by the lieutenant governor; and two other members of the House appointed by the speaker. As of Feb. 1, the chairs and lists of members of House committees had not been named. Sen. Jane Nelson, the first woman in the history of the Legislature to chair a standing budget-writing committee, was appointed by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick to preside over the 15-member panel. Nelson, RGrapevine, said Senate Bill 2

would be a “responsible” budget and she encouraged c o m mittee members to voice their inSTATE dividual prioriCAPITAL ties durHIGHLIGHTS ing the Ed Sterling bwur di tgientgprocess. She also said the panel would spend a week on taxrelief bills. New governor’s work begins In the days following his inauguration on Jan. 20, Gov. Greg Abbott set right to work. On Jan. 21, “to prevent, detect and investigate fraud, abuse and waste” he named Stuart W. Bowen Jr. as inspector general for the Texas Health and Hu-

man Services Commission. On Jan. 22, he submitted to the Texas Senate for approval Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos as Secretary of State, Jerry Strickland as chief of the Office of State-Federal Relations and David Mattax for reappointment as commissioner of the Texas Department of Insurance. He also named appointees to the University of Texas System, Texas A&M University and Texas Tech University boards of regents. On Jan. 23, he set Feb. 17 as the date of special runoff elections for Senate District 26 and House Districts 17 and 123. He also traveled to Edinburg to speak and be present for the announcement of a nearly $3 million grant to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine grant by United Health Foundation. The medical school is to open in 2016. On Jan. 27, he released a statement in defense of former governor Rick Perry, who

is facing felony charges related to his vetoing the budget of the state’s Public Integrity Unit when the head of the unit ignored his demand for her resignation after she had been arrested for drunken driving. Abbott said, “The Texas governor is endowed by our constitution with the authority to veto legislation, and it is outrageous and inappropriate that a governor would be prosecuted for exercising that authority.” On Jan. 28, in a letter to all state agency heads, he called for higher standards in the state’s contracting and procurement process, including specific reforms aimed at restoring the public trust in the contracting process. This comes in the wake of a series of investigative stories by the Austin American-Statesman detailing a multi-million dollar no-bid contract between the Health and Human Services Commission and an information technology security firm.

On Jan. 29, he proposed to eliminate the Texas Emerging Technology Fund and establish the New University Research Initiative “to make meaningful and effective investments in job creation.” Correction / Clarification In this column last week, I erroneously reported Sen. Craig Estes, R-Wichita Falls, as having voted against a proposed Senate rule change in floor procedure, allowing a threefifths majority of the 31-member body (19 senators) to bring a bill to the floor for debate, rather than the traditional twothirds, or 21 senators. Estes was present but did not vote on the rule change. I regret the error. The rule change was adopted on a vote of 20-10.

Movie Man

Thursday, February 5, 2015 Springtown Epigraph

Race, parental rights, addiction movie struggles

About the film Once upon a time, there was not greater movie star than Kevin Costner. The 66 year old – playing a grandfather for the first time in Black or White – has a terrific resume. For sure, The Untouchables (1987), No Way Out (1987), Field of Dreams (1989), and JFK (1991) are fantastic movies. And, no matter what film snobs say, Dances With Wolves (1990) is, too. (Whenever a list is made of movies that won Best Picture Oscars – robbing another “more deserving” movie – Dances With Wolves pops up. It beat out Goodfellas which is an admitted classic, but the Movie Man is just fine with Dances With Wolves. Costner also beat out Goodfellas director Martin Scorsese which some [not the Movie Man] consider an even greater horror.) However, Costner has been in a huge series of movies lately that few people are seeing. Only true fans have paid for Play it to the Bone (1999), 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001), Mr. Brooks (2007), or last year’s 3 Days to Kill and Draft Day. That’s not to say he hasn’t earned some acclaim recently, even if it’s not as stratospheric as a few decades ago. He was lauded for the TV mini-series Hatfields & McCoys (2012), and the Movie Man thought he had the “Best scene” in the 2013 Superman reboot Man of Steel (Movie Man No. 1040, a 7). The Movie Man is not a Costner hata – in fact, it’s the opposite. Still, the last picture the Movie Man saw with Cost-

ner – excluding small or cameo parts – was way back in 2003, Open Range (MM #521, 7). Today, Costner is getting good reviews, deservedly, for Black or White. The plot Elliot (Costner) has had some tough times. His daughter died in childbirth and now his wife has been killed in an auto accident. The only thing he has left is a granddaughter, Eloise (Texan Jillian Estell). She’s mixed race. The mother of Eloise’s drug-addled father, Rowena (Octavia Spencer), wants to see her granddaughter more often. Elliot isn’t crazy about that. Rowena’s brother, Jeremiah (Anthony Mackie) is a lawyer – so is Elliot – and Jeremiah sues Elliot for full custody of Eloise for Rowena. There are problems on both sides. Elliot is a heavy drinker. Rowena blindly believes her drug addicted son Reggie (Andre Holland) is now clean and ready to be a father to Eloise. While Elliot tries to sober up – learning a new language in lieu of drinking thanks to Eloise’s tutor Duvan (Mpho Koaho) – Holland gets coaching to make him look like a relatively decent human being.

You gotta give Kevin Costner credit: He’s really hawking Black or White. With millions of his own money invested – 9 – the actor is making the rounds to promote his latest venture. Even though it’s been a while since Costner’s had a hit, he’s still got clout.

Penned with love BY NATALIE GENTRY Azle’s Jennifer Simmons never pictured herself as an author. Although she has always enjoyed reading, she never dreamed of penning the Great American Novel. A story to tell The need to create her book, Blessed at Bedtime, crept up on her after her son, Zane, was sixmonths-old. “[Zane] would curl up in my lap each night so I could read to him,” Simmons said. “We tend to read at least three books every night, and I began to notice that a lot of the books only had one parent in them.” “There would be one parent giraffe and the baby,” she continued. “My son started to point to the page and ask ‘Mama or Daddy,’ and I would answer that I didn’t know.” Simmons began to question why both parents couldn’t be present. Then, as she read to Zane one evening, the inspiration struck. “I had this idea for the book, so I simply sat down and wrote it,” Simmons said. “The line rhymed and everything.” However, instead of pursuing publication, Simmons put Blessed at Bedtime away. “For a year and a half I sat on

Simmons took to YouTube to discuss her motivation for the book and to read the story. it,” she said. Then one evening I was reading to Zane again and I just felt like the Lord was telling me to just go ahead and do this...and so I did.”

She also noted that traditional publishing can take a long time – often from 12 weeks to 18 months just for a response to a query letter. “I decided just to go ahead and do it myself,” Simmons said. “Then I paid a professional illustrator to create the pictures the way I wanted. “Once I decided to do it, it was finished in about three months. It was a process, but it was really enjoyable the whole way through.”

A journey worth taking Simmons said that once she decided to try publishing the book she ultimately chose to self-publish. “I wanted this entire book to be my creation,” she said. “When a person publishes through one of the mainstream publishing houses, they lose a A work from the heart lot of control over the book.” Simmons’ motivation

for

Local author’s children’s book highlights familial bonds

writing Blessed at Bedtime was the fact she wanted to highlight the bond between a mother and father as well as the comfort this relationship can provide children. “It’s a Christian niche bedtime book, so there is a smaller target crowd,” Simmons said. “I wanted to write a children’s book that focused on the strength in the parents’ relationship.” Simmons’ husband Nathan attests to her dedication to not just their family, but all families. “She wrote this book from her heart,” Nathan said. “It’s a way for her to give back to the community and to maybe give other families a tool.” Simmons has taken to YouTube – a true 21st century platform – to discuss the story and the other elements of the book. In addition to the tale, Blessed at Bedtime provides families with a children’s bedtime prayer and four promise scriptures. These provide children with the comfort of the promise of protection, God’s love, God’s purpose for the children, and a peaceful night’s sleep. “My heart’s desire is that [Blessed at Bedtime] not only speaks total peace, love, and safety for your children,” Sim-

mons says in her video. “But that [parents] would also feel that same peace, love, and safety while they read it with them.” Simmons said she has another story planned, but that she wants to see the reaction to her first book before she proceeds. Blessed at Bedtime was re-

P.O. Box 557 • Springtown, Texas, 76082

Shoreline Drive home burns by carla noah stutsman Fire destroyed a vacant home in the 200 block of Shoreline Drive South in the early morning hours of Monday, Feb. 10. A neighbor called 911 at 12:12 a.m. to report the fire, and the first truck arrived eight minutes later, Azle Fire Chief Will Scott said. “The original call said it was unknown if there were any occupants in the house, but we were able to determine later that no one was inside at the time of the fire,” Scott said. It’s a good thing. When firefighters arrived, the home was fully involved with heavy fire, so their only option was to set up a defensive attack. It turns out recent occupants of the home had been asked to move out by the home’s owners. Fire Marshal Kenny Wilson said those occupants had been gone little more than a week. Firefighters from Lake Worth FD, Eagle Mountain VFD and LaJunta VFD answered the call to assist with manpower and apparatus. Azle Fire Department utilized its engine, ambulance, and rescue trucks

as well as their crews. Parker County’s LifeCare Medic 3 stood by to provide for any medical needs, and Parker County Emergency Services District 1 Chief Eric Vinson also answered the call. Scott, Wilson, and Azle Emergency Services Administrator, Eddy Wood rounded out the command team. Scott said firefighters battled the fire in 34-degree temperatures with 5-10 mile-per-hour winds and a steady mist falling. The fire was under control at 1:33 a.m. and firefighters cleared the scene at 4:14 a.m., Scott said. Wilson and a team of fire investigators continue to look into the cause of the fire, but on Feb. 11, he said it appears to be electrical in nature. “We see some evidence that someone had ‘jumped’ the electrical service at the home, possibly in an effort to steal electricity (by bypassing the meter),” Wilson said. “We’re still investigating, but right now, it looks like that’s going to be the cause.” Wilson said the home is a total loss and estimated the damages to be about $70,000.

Four people were taken to texas health azle with non-life-threatening injuries following a rear-end collision in the 11600 block of Fm 730 north Feb. 4. the crash occurred about 7 p.m. when michael s. Fields, 52, of azle, drove a white 1988 Ford F150 into the rear of a red 2009 saturn outlook driven by misty D. Dale also of azle. Dale, with three juvenile passengers, was stopped with her left turn signal on, waiting to turn left into a parking lot when she was struck from behind. the impact pushed Dale’s vehicle onto the west shoulder of the roadway. Fields’ vehicle veered to the right (east) into the parking lot of a convenience store, where it struck the gas island. Fields was arrested at the scene for driving while intoxicated; however, he was released to medical personnel who transported him to the hospital and a warrant will be issued for his arrest at a later date. Dale and two of the juveniles in her vehicle were treated and released from the hospital, according to the police report. Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman

SMU quake study ongoing

817-270-3340 123 = $870K Transfer students mean big money for AISD

Results could be years in coming

by carla noah stutsman Even though it’s now been three weeks since the U.S. Geological Society (USGS) has reported an earthquake in the Azle/Reno area, researchers from Southern Methodist University (SMU) say seismic activity continues here. Heather DeShon, associate professor of geophysics at SMU and the lead researcher on the Azle area study says a network of sensors has detected numerous small quakes – too small to report to USGS. Still, that seismic activity provides data for the study and can be useful to scientists trying to determine whether there’s a link between the recent swarm of 30-plus earthquakes in the area and the wastewater injection wells located nearby, DeShon said. The only catch is that it could be a year or even two before researchers collect enough data, decipher it, and publish the findings. The SMU research team unveiled a website containing information about the study which can be viewed at http://smu.edu/smunews/earthquakestudy/study-faqs.asp#top. The main page text is the summary of the goals for the research, and the FAQs provide answers to individual questions. The SMU website provides links to the U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Education web page and the Texas Earthquakes web page supported by the University of Texas at Austin. Additionally, SMU has purchased an Incorporated Research Institutions

817-220-7217 Last year, the Azle Independent School District’s (AISD) Board of Trustees voted to allow open enrollment – a policy that allows students who live outside the district’s boundaries to enroll in AISD schools. It’s a policy that has already paid off in a big way, according to Superintendent Dr. Ray Lea. Students wishing to attend AISD schools must meet strict academic, disciplinary and attendance criteria in order to qualify, and are only accepted on a space-available basis. Currently, 123 out-of-district transfer students attend AISD schools. These students generate an additional $870,000 in state funding for the district. This boost in funding has been used to purchase technology throughout the district. In the very near future, Lea said,

Azle ISD will provide an iPad for every student in grades pre-kindergarten through 12. The district already provides iPads to all students in grades 7-12. Azle will be one of the first districts in Texas to reach this one-to-one iPad goal. The additional state funding from student transfers went a long way to reach this goal, Lea said. “All these transfer students actually reside in other school attendance zones, yet their parents choose to transport them to Azle ISD because of a reputation of outstanding teachers and caring staff members,” Lea said. “Parents have cited their preference for a school with exemplary academics and technology as reasons for choosing Azle.” Azle ISD continues to receive requests to transfer from parents, Lea added.

Pursuit of man nets 5 arrests: PCSO, FAST officers link quintet to local burglaries, thefts by carla noah stutsman An eight-mile pursuit Thursday evening, Jan. 29 that reached speeds of 80 miles-per-hour in a residential area near Springtown didn’t turn out so well for the guy running from Parker County Sheriff’s deputies. Actually, several of his friends didn’t like it much, either. Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said members of the Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (FAST) attempted to serve a warrant at a house on Oak Meadows Drive about 5 p.m. The subject of that warrant was Samuel Burtis Cox, 37, of Springtown. Cox was known to frequent the residence. While FAST members were at the house, Cox drove by but immediately fled from deputies, who pursued him down Hilltop Meadows to Cactus View Drive, to Summit Ridge,

then Highland Circle. After briefly traveling onto East Highway 199, Cox reached speeds up to 80 miles-per-hour near the intersection of Harms and Springfield Roads, Fowler said. That’s where the pickup Cox was driving left the roadway, crashing through at least five fences on eight separate properties. The pursuit ended when Cox wrecked the vehicle, which landed in a horse arena behind a residence on Garden Court. Somehow, Cox still thought he could get away. He continued fleeing on foot from the crash site, and deputies observed him throw a baggie of suspected methamphetamine into a horse trough. FAST members apprehended Cox within 100 yards of the pickup from which he fled.

Sheriff’s investigators searched the residence on Oak Meadows Drive where the pursuit began, discovering additional smaller amounts of narcotics and a large amount of suspected stolen property inside the home. Four additional suspects were arrested at the scene including two occupants of the

home identified as Othe Leonard Wallis, 46, and Karri Lyn Tandle-Ludington, 29. Joy Lynn Johnson, 44, apparently a neighbor on Oak Meadows, was also arrested on scene along with David Anthony Headspeth, 32, of Poolville. Sheriff’s investigators spent several hours seizing and log-

ging the suspected stolen property into evidence, including copper wiring, power and hand tools, electronics, coins, silverware, chargers, light fixtures, and clothing accessories. Fowler said Sheriff’s investigators anticipate clearing several local cases of theft and burglary as a result of the items recovered. He also said Cox’s reckless actions had the potential to cause serious damage. “Luckily, no one was injured as a result of the pursuit,” Fowler said. “The suspect came dangerously close to several barns and residences, showing no regard for life or property.” Cox was arrested on a local theft warrant and two out-

of-county theft warrants. He faces additional charges of evading arrest or detention, narcotics and other charges. Headspeth was arrested on a local warrant for obstructing a highway or passageway. Wallis, Johnson and TandleLudington were each charged with possession of a controlled substance. Additional charges against all five individuals are pending the ongoing investigation.
