PD chief says safety a concern in arrest Teenager did not obey officers’ directions BY NATALIE GENTRY Springtown social media blew up last week when a story was aired on the nightly news about Dylan Waddle, a 17-year-old junior at Springtown High School, who was arrested and charged with interference after observing a police investigation and refusing to leave when instructed to do so by officers.

Former administrator says he has proven ideas to get businesses to come to Springtown BY MARK K. CAMPBELL Lee Maness has been around – from Springtown to Arizona – and he told the Optimist Club that he has some established ideas to bring businesses here. He also said that it's time for younger adults to make positive changes around here. Maness, a former city administrator, said he has long roots in Springtown. He graduated from SHS in 1965 – and later so did his kids – before heading to the University of North Texas then into a multi-decade career in city government. Maness told two tales of how he helped improve the finances of a couple of towns. In Nogales, Arizona, a border town, the city enticed a Walmart to build. While it took some incentives to get the big box store to town, it proved to be a major boon for Nogales’ employment and the tax base. When he worked in Watauga, Ma-

Teenager did not act on officers’ directions n TEENAGER, FROM PAGE ONE.

Channel 8 News that he simply wanted to make sure his friends weren’t being harassed by the police. “I have nothing against police officers,” Waddle said. “It's just this one situation that went way too far, from what I would imagine.” Chief Crowdis said, “Other than only saying [Waddle] had to go back inside instead of move back, I don’t see any wrongdoing on the officers’ part. Waddle was close enough that he could have been a threat or a distraction and this was an officer safety issue. “Looking at the video multiple times and with much more experience than the officers, I know it could have been handled differently with a better outcome,” he continued. “Is what they did legal? Yes. Did it have to happen that way? No.” Crowdis went on to say that

he believed that if Waddle had reacted differently or if the officers had reacted differently, there would have been a better resolution. “I don’t have a problem with people watching what we do. I don’t have a problem with people videotaping what we do,” he continued. “It’s fine and they have every legal right to do that, but [Waddle] was too close for comfort.” Incident to be reviewed Crowdis also said there are some issues about alternative ways this could have been handled that will be addressed with officers during training. “One concern I have is that everyone is blaming Sgt. Owens for this, but Sgt. Owens is not the officer who told [Waddle] to go inside, he is not the officer who touched Waddle first, and he was not the officer who arrested him,” Crow-

dis said. “People have even brought his family into the issue, and that is sad.” Crowdis also said the few people who have come in and asked what happened have left with a better understanding of the entire situation. “It is easy to discuss alternatives for an hour while sitting here, but the officers have to make their decisions in the moment,” Crowdis said. “Part of the reason we purchased body cameras is to be totally transparent in situations just like this. “If my guys make a mistake I’m not going to say they didn’t, and I’ll address it,” he continued. “It is unfortunate that this happened the way it did.”

SISD bands earn 1st division ratings, coveted Sweepstakes Only 4A bands to win varsity and non-varsity By Natalie Gentry Both the Springtown High School (SHS) Honors and Symphonic Bands earned first division ratings from three concert judges and a trio of sight-reading judges Thursday, April 9 at the Region 7 Band Contest in Alvarado. SHS was the only 4A school in University Interscholastic League (UIL) Region 7 to accomplish this with both var-

sity and non-varsity bands. This contest completes the UIL group competitions for this school year with the full Springtown ISD program earning the ultimate “Sweepstakes” awards for the year. According to UIL online records which go back 10 years, this is the only year in the last 10 that both SHS and the middle school bands earned first division ratings from all judges.

In fact, all competitive parts of the program – a marching band, concert bands, drumline and colorguard – have earned first division ratings and/or won their class in competitions this year. “What a great year it has been,” said SHS Director of Bands, Chris McLellan. “Thank you to our students, parents, administrators, and band directors for all you do for this program.”

Alexander’s Midway Funeral Home makes every effort to see that your needs are met and will work with any budget.

Dignified and personal Alexander’s Midway Funeral Home will work with any budget during trying times Few times in life are more difficult than serving and taking care of people after the loss of a loved one. Professional, sensitive care is what Alexander’s Midway Funeral Home offers to all. The business, at the corner of Highway 199 and Jaybird Cut Off in Springtown, is a full-service funeral home. Alexander’s Midway Funeral Home offers dignified services at affordable prices. Owner/director James Alexander has been in the service industry since he was 17 years old, and he knows how important the process is to distressed families. That vast experience allows the funeral home to offer professional services delivered with reassurance and understanding. The business’ mission statement sums up Alexander’s philosophy: “We are here to replace confusion with calm, doubts with certainty, and questions with answers.” The business knows that cost is a factor for many of those grieving, and Alexander’s Midway Funeral Home encourages price comparisons. It’s especially urged for those purchasing arrangements in advance. Dignity is not about money; an affordable funeral at honest prices is a truly

compassionate way to care for your family. The business’ prepaid funeral plans are portable. If you purchased a plan in one place but relocated, often that plan’s coverage can be provided there. Many prepaid plans come with insurance. Should you pass away while paying, the remainder is covered and your loved ones will not have to finish off the payments. However, if you don’t have insurance, it’s important that your plan is paid-in-full at the time of death. Payment options are not transferable; full payment is required upon death. Alexander’s Midway Funeral Home at 3607 East Highway 199 office hours are Monday-Friday from 9 a.m.– 3 p.m. with scheduled appointments at varied times. Saturdays and Sundays are available via appointments. And the business can be reached 24 hours a day when you need them. Call them at 817-677-2634. In business since opening its first home in Fort Worth in 2008, Alexander’s Midway Funeral Home focuses on the needs of those in the midst of trying times: “A quiet gentleness in an atmosphere of dignity and trust.”

It’s that time of year again: Farmers are preparing their fields for planting. That means keeping an eye out for farm equipment on roadways, said Parker County Farm Bureau President Don Smelley. “With planting season underway, you’re likely to see farmers moving equipment on

the roads,” Smelley said. He urged caution and patience when sharing the road with farm equipment. Keep an eye out for the slow moving vehicle emblem and remain alert, he urged. The top speed for most tractors is around 20 to 25 miles per hour, Smelley noted.

“Cars driving 70 miles per hour can close large gaps in seconds,” the president said. He added, “We hope drivers are patient as we do our jobs. If you can’t see a farmer in the cab, then the farmer can’t see you. “Please slow down and give their equipment the necessary space.”

Parker County school art contest deadline April 17 In recognition of National Crime Victim’s Rights Week, April 19-25, the Parker County Attorney’s Office, led by Victim’s Assistance Coordinator Lisa Mehrhoff, is holding their 7th Annual School Art Contest. This year’s theme, “United We Stand” is a call to all Parker County residents to take on the challenge of making victims’ rights a concern for everyone. “One of the best ways to spread this message is through our children,” Mehrhoff said. “Please encourage any school age student residing in Parker County to participate in this event. We will, as in years past, be awarding prizes, cash, and scholarships for winning entries.” All content-appropriate media forms will be accepted. Entries must be delivered to County Court at Law 1 in the Parker County Annex at 1112 Santa Fe Drive in Weatherford by Friday, April 17. Appropriate entries will be displayed at the Annex during National Crime Victims’ Rights Week Winners will be announced and prizes awarded at a comeand-go reception on Friday, April 24 from 4-5:30 p.m. at the Annex. Prizes will be awarded in the following categories: elementary mixed media, junior/senior sculpture, mixed media and photography. Mehrhoff said getting community “buy in” is key to helping victims and reducing crime in general. “Simply stated, crime is

harmful,” she said. “It is harmful to everyone and some experience wrongdoing more than others, but the best way we can understand and reduce the crime experience is to become active stakeholders in our community and make the decision to get involved and stand together against crime.” Guidelines and requirements • All artwork must be the student’s original composition. No copies, by hand or mechanical device, of any previously published piece of art. No copyright protected artwork will be allowed. Any artwork found to be “strikingly similar” to any previously published or copyrighted item will be disqualified. 1.

These ain’t your grandpa’s cruises sailing today

espite ships sinking all the time or being infested with a variety of diseases, cruises are still a hot vacation option. I have been on just one cruise and that was way back in 1985 when there weren’t that many vessels. Today...holy cow, you can find plenty to do on the boat between bouts of dysentery and bailing. In a way to get vacationers to forget the possibilities of something unfortunate happening while you are hundreds of miles at sea, far from any immediate help or land – cruise lines

have ramped up “theme” adventures. Super hot right now are musical cruises. Want to see your favorite (likely Old School) artist trying to stay steady on a stage tilted 30 degrees? You can catch Journey, Styx, Smokey Robinson, and Rascal Flatts at sea this year. You might also see Chicago, Martina McBride, and REO Speedwagon. Why you could be the guy who gets to hold Olivia Newton-John’s hair ON YOUR while she barfs over the side of the MARK boat! There are also cruises that include Mark K. Campbell acts that are lesser known and even

a tribute bands trip. Among other themes to choose from: chocolate, beer, wine, and exotic food cruises. There are “celebrity” ventures where you can meet and greet a (former) movie/TV star. How about a

classic movie cruise – probably won’t see Titanic – or “long-retired baseball greats” trip? There’s a 12-step cruise, “the Sober Cruise.” And health and wellness cruises, including one dubbed “Yogacruise” and another “marathon” outing where you will walk 26.2 miles on the deck while sailing. Still not sold? There’s always needlepoint cruises. And ballroom dancing. And poker cruises. But if you’re looking for kinky, try these two on for size. There are dress-up cruises where

you can don steampunk apparel or you can take a voyage on the “Drag Stars at Sea” trip. You can also cruise nude. If that doesn’t do it for you, there’s always the chance to get your freak on by taking a politically themed cruise. Yes, there’s a cruise where the highlight of the trip is listening to Newt Gringrich, hopefully clothed; otherwise, it brings new meaning to the phrase “abandon ship.” Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and the entertainment on his cruise was “comedian” Homer Noodleman. Really.

Letter to the Editor Exact definition of ‘inclusive’ needed for fair treatment Dear Editor: In her Letter to the Editor of the April 9 issue [“Practicing being inclusive benefits all”], the writer indicated that those that adhere to the Biblical standard of marriage of one man and one woman are not being inclusive, and are not following the Golden Rule. Most of the folks that I know who hold to the Biblical standard of marriage do follow the Golden Rule and do not think more highly of themselves than others who do not believe as they do.

We love our neighbors, friends and family members who are homosexual, but do not agree with their actions and beliefs. It seems as though we are the ones today that are being excluded, persecuted, and shunned by the media and much of society for our religious beliefs. Just look at the business owners lately who stood by their religious beliefs by not participating in wedding ceremonies between two men or two women that have lost their businesses, and livelihood.

These people were not harming the homosexual community in any way but are being punished for their beliefs. How is that being inclusive? As the writer of the previous Letter to the Editor asked, “Whatever happened to ‘All men are created equal’ and the ‘Golden Rule’?” I’m wondering why conservative Bible believing folks are not being treated equally, and whatever happened to the First Amendment of our Constitution granting freedom of religion?

A grandfather’s Story, Part 1: From Maine to Kansas

his story about Kansas pioneer life was written by Josiah Jordan in 1915. The Jordan family moved from Maine to Kansas to aid in keeping Kansas a “free state” before the Civil War broke out. They were staunch abolitionists. One of their homes was used as a station for the “Underground Railroad.” “When I was a boy, the greatest treat that I enjoyed was to listen to my Father's stories of what happened to him when he was a boy. My father [William Jordan] was a good storyteller, much better than I am; and I am quite sure that if you could hear the stories as he told them to me, you would agree with me as to their charming qualities. “My earliest recollection of him brings back the memory of sitting in his lap, my tow head resting on his breast, and playing with his brown beard as he told stories to me and

of swimming and fishing. “And so I will try to tell you, in my awkward way, stories of my childhood. I will tell you what the children of a Kansas pioneer did HISTORICAL in those days HIGHLIGHTS of ‘Long Ago.’ Driving and Laurie Moseley herding cattle, camping on the ‘Long Trail,’ pioneer school days, sports and pastimes, Indians, ox trains – these are some experiences that may prove as strange and interesting to you as the tales my Father told, seemed to me. “Late in November, in the year of Our Lord 1855, the steamer Polar Star, loaded to the guards with a cargo

consisting mainly of emigrants, movables and passengers, made her way slowly up stream against the muddy tide of the Missouri River. She unloaded quite a number of passengers at Westport Landing – now Kansas City, Missouri. “Among them were my father and mother, brothers Frank and Carroll, my Aunt Sarah Packard, and last – and the very least – was the writer of this narrative. I use the word ‘least’ advisedly, for it is told that one of the old women who came in and took a last look at me, just before we left our Maine home, remarked that ‘I was not worth taking along – I was so small and puny,’ in which opinion no one present was inclined to take issue. “I was about six weeks old at this time, and can only state what others have told me, but the story is that we traveled by wagon from Kansas City to Lawrence.

He told of his experiences as man and boy, on and around Moose-head Lake, on the Kennebec and Penobscot Rivers. The streams and ponds bore names of Indian origin – Amajemakamas, Pemadumkook, Millinnoket, Moosetemaguntik and so on. These names had a strange fascination for me, and I labored diligently to master the pronunciation of them. “Another reason for the interest we children took in these stories was that they dealt with the world known to us as ‘Back East,’ and with persons and things so entirely different from those surrounding our home on the Kansas prairie. His stories relating to boating and fishing had an especial charm for me, and to this day I long for the rippling wave, the roar of the surf, the pleasures of bathing and boating, and

It took over a week's time of nervewracking discomfort. No sleeping cars, no decent hotels. Mother was not very strong, and the care of three small children was no small burden. Had it not been for Aunt Sarah’s kind ministrations, her burdens would have been well nigh unbearable. “The trip was made by stagecoach, railway and steamer. One must understand political conditions existing at that time, to fully appreciate the causes that led so many men from New England, and the middle states to bring their families to this unbroken wilderness.” Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

Senate passes bill to remake Public Integrity Unit

tatewide authority to investigate and prosecute public corruption would be moved out of the Travis County District Attorney’s Office under Senate Bill 10, legislation approved by the Senate on April 9. Sen. Joan Huffman, chair of the Senate State Affairs Committee, wrote the legislation under which the Texas Rangers, a division of the Department of Public Safety, would reestablish and support the state’s Public Integrity Unit and assume the initial investigatory role when a complaint is filed against a public official. Cases would be prosecuted in the county where a public official resides. “After more than three decades of accepting this cultural norm, the public has lost confidence in this tacit scheme, and Texas needs a fair and explicit process to hold wrongdoers accountable,” Huffman said. The unit has been located

in Travis County since 1982, when it was created by an act of the Texas Legislature. Efforts toward stripping the unit and its authority from Travis County began two years ago when Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, who heads the unit, was arrested and pled guilty to drunken driving. Then-Gov. Rick Perry called for Lehmberg’s resignation approaching the end of the 2013 legislative session, but Lehmberg rebuffed Perry by remaining in office. Perry vetoed the unit’s $7.5 million budget. He was later indicted on a charge of official coercion for using his veto power in an attempt to force Lehmberg to resign. Lehmberg was elected to a four-year term as district attorney in 2012. SB 10, approved by the Senate with all 20 of the body’s Republicans voting in favor and all 10 of the body’s Democrats voting in opposition, has moved to the Texas House for consideration.

Senate’s budget bill moves The Senate Finance Committee on April 8 unanimously approved Committee Substitute House Bill 1, its version of a state budget for fiscal years 2016 and 2017. Coming in a $211.4 billion — about $1.5 billion more than the version passed earlier by the full Texas House — the legislation was authored primarily by Senate Finance Committee Chair Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound, and Vice Chair Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa, D-McAllen. Next step in the process will be for the bill to be passed by the full Senate and then to iron out differences with the House version, be assigned to a joint House-Senate conference committee, to be named by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who presides over the Senate, and House Speaker Joe Straus.

Movie Man

Thursday, April 16, 2015 Springtown Epigraph

Man, The Longest Ride is certainly aptly titled Chick flicks will be around forever. While TV networks like Lifetime cater to the same crowd that often devours “bodice-ripper” novels, many women love a full-bore romantic movie, too. About the film The Longest Ride is yet another adaptation of a Nicholas Sparks novel. When The Notebook became such a colossal success, Sparks became a go-to for female-centric books. Like with every other romantic/dramatic movie, every icky plot trope can be found: a cute meeting; differing personalities must find a way to overcome their seemingly impossible separate worlds; an old person is introduced, mirroring the modern day relationship with one that took place decades ago; lots of flashbacks; long, slow kisses; someone has a terrible secret from the past; there’s an inevitable break-up; finally one partner sees the light; everybody ends up happy. That’s The Longest Ride in a nutshell. No amount of ragging on it will deter fans of this ilk from attending; it’s like keeping a science-fiction nerd from another brain-dead Transformers flick – not gonna happen. Of interest especially in The Longest Ride is Alan Alda. Thanks to TV’s version of the movie M*A*S*H, Alda became a star in the 1970’s. He directed 31 of the episodes then branched out to the big screen. His first non-TV movie as a director was the highly anticipated Four Seasons in 1981. It’s an ensemble movie with great turns by Alda, who also wrote it, and Carol Burnett. It was well received and some folks thought Alda might be the second coming of Woody Allen. But Alda wasn’t. (He acted in a trio of Allen’s movies, however.)

upcoming elite New York internship in her major of art, Wake Forest senior Sophia (Britt Robertson) has to be almost forced to go to a rodeo with her sorority pals. There, she locks eyes with bull rider Luke (Scott Eastwood) and both are smitten. Driving home from a date, the duo comes upon an accident where an elderly man, Ira (Alda), is trapped. They save him as he pleads for them to collect a box that’s still in the car. At the hospital, the box is opened; it contains love letters from WWII when Ira was young (Jack Hutson) and captivated by the newly-arrived in North Carolina Ruth (Ooma Chaplin). While in current day, Robertson and Eastwood – whose secret is a head injury suffered earlier yet he keeps riding bulls – work through their problems, flashbacks reveal how Hutson and Chaplin resolved the issues of their era. Then comes the ending that everyone who has a Facebook account will see coming. (See What doesn’t work)

now that his beloved is gone. The actors in the flashback – Hutson and Chaplin – are excellent, too. So is the laconic Eastwood, a dead ringer for his dad from around the Rawhide era. The movie works much better in retro mode; the fashions, general look, vehicles, structures, and story line are more entertaining. Director George Tillman, Jr. keeps things balanced between the two eras with the bull riding scenes especially well handled.

What works Alda, aged and lined with watery, expressive eyes, tells his story and is believable as an old man who just wants to move on to whatever is next

Best scene After WWII, Hutson takes his newlywed bride Chaplin, who is crazy about art, to a small mountain college where all kinds of art are embraced. Chaplin erupts

find. She’s ridiculously slow about it. Alda’s big injury secret is shown during a war flashback, and the battlefield is not very realistic looking. This movie seems incredibly long – and it is at 2 hours, 19 minutes – but the crowd, almost all women, in the auditorium clearly didn’t care. Playing Eastwood’s mom Kate, Lolita Davidovich has almost nothing to do which is too bad. Then there’s the ending. If you’ve tooled around the Internet much, you have run across the story of the magnificent art collection to be bid upon – but first, the recently deceased seller insists a little-thought of illustration be auctioned off to begin. The trick is that the person who buys the crappy painting gets the entire collection. (See Snopes.com “Dead Son’s Portrait”). That’s what Eastwood does with Alda’s portrait of Chaplin. That twist was so and stereotypical that the Movie Man docked The Longest Ride a point.

Photos courtesy Jennifer B. Thoreson lent space just before crossing over. “The people in the photographs are in the final phase of bearing weight, moments away from finally laying it down. I am seeking the moment of relief, and relishing in the moments just before it occurs.” Testament’s photographs are representations of quiet moments of raw humanness – just at the point when renewal begins. Thoreson’s work has been a part of more than 30 exhibitions, has been widely published internationally in many print and online journals, and is represented by three major galleries across the United States.
