Child molester’s sentence affirmed Springtown man gets 37 years, no parole BY MARK K. CAMPBELL In April 2014, a Parker County jury gave Jamie Lee Ford, of Springtown, a 37-year prison sentence for molesting a child in two counties. Now, an appellate court has affirmed that punishment. The first trial Ford was accused of sexually assaulting and fondling a young girl from age five to nine in Parker and Tarrant County. When 10 years old, the girl testified of several instances when Ford sexually abused her. A nurse told jurors what the girl said Ford did to her. A neighbor, who was first told of the abuse by the girl, said he believed the youngster. “The victim was a very brave girl,” said Assistant District Attorney Jeff Swain who tried the case with fellow assistant Kathleen Catania.” Swain said the victim told a friend, then the friend’s parents, and eventually the jury – describing things “no 10-year-old girl should know.”

Jamie Lee Ford

The Second Court of Appeals ruled April 23 that neither witness’ testimony was improper. The court concluded: “There was no error in the trial court’s judgment.” Ford, 30, still has judicial recourse. He can turn to the state’s highest appeals court, the Texas Court of Criminal Appeals. But Assistant District Attorney Eddy Lewallen said it is unlikely the court will handle the appeal because it usually only hears death penalty An appeal cases of those involving “novel legal Ford claimed that the nurse’s and issues.” Many local folks got more than 10 inches of rain in April – more than double the usual total.

With lake rising, Twin Points boat launch reopens BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Whether you’re more inclined to pray for rain or do a rain dance, chances are recent precipitation has encouraged you to double up on your efforts. Eagle Mountain Lake was 10.5 feet low in February, but between April rains and the resumption of pumping via the pipeline from East Texas lakes, almost half of that deficit has been recovered in the past six weeks. On Tuesday, April 28, Tarrant Regional Water District officials reopened the boat launch at Twin Points and say they are optimistic about keeping it open throughout the summer. The launch, touted as the deepest one on EML, was closed in September 2014 when water levels were so low launching a boat there became impossible. “The rainfall over the last week, combined with our pumping efforts, have made a significant impact on Eagle Mountain's lake level,” TRWD

spokesperson Chad Lorance said. “The lake is high enough now that we can keep the ramp open most, if not all, of the summer. It will depend on how much rainfall we get between now and then, as well as the impact of summer demands and evaporation.” While rains have helped significantly, TRWD has pumped an average 140 million gallons of water a day into EML since March 6, Lorance said. He added that pumping into the lake will continue so long as demand remains low. TRWD’s conservation efforts have resulted in a 30 percent reduction in annual demands, Lorance said. “Our goal is to get Eagle Mountain as close to conservation level as possible by June 1 of each year. It is hard to say if we will get there this year, but we have made significant progress,” Lorance said. “Hopefully, we get Up about five feet since February, the water level at Eagle Mountain Lake has allowed the reopening some more help from Mother Nature of the Twin Points boat launch where vessels can enter the water, first-come, first-serve for $10. over the next few weeks.” Photo courtesy Tarrant Regional Water District

A ‘food hub’ in Springtown? BY MARK K. CAMPBELL A grant spawned a program that might end up in Springtown – one that will help with hunger in the area. Speaking to the Springtown Optimist Club April 28, Jennifer Beck from Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle said she oversees Texas Healthy Communities. Fueled by a 2003 grant, the program began as a heart and stroke program to promote awareness as well as address self-management of chronic disease. The “community transformation” grant expanded into eight different areas – one being making nutritious food more readily available. That inspired the creation of food hubs.

She added that three areas especially need attention in Parker County – mother friendly worksites, getting mission/guidelines accredited, and workplace wellness programs. Beck said having formal policies in place in businesses is vital. Aside from food hubs, other changes that could be occurring in Parker County could include a 100 percent, comprehensive smoke-free environment in all businesses. “There is not one [business] in Parker County still,” Beck said. She added that the communiJennifer Beck from Texas Health Harris Methodist Azle told Springtown Optimist Club members of a program ty program is in place to make that examines a variety of variables designed to make Parker County a healthier and the area healthier.

reports that SISD’s conservation efforts have resulted in saving 78 thousand kilowatthours (kwh) of electricity and 975 million British thermal units (MMBTUs) of natural gas. “In February alone the savings equate to 43 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions being prevented,” Kelley said. “That is equal to nine automobiles off the highway annually, or more than 1,110 tree seedlings planted and grown in ten years. “From an environmental standpoint, the conservation effort has been very productive.” Reno Elementary led the district’s conservation efforts by reducing its projected utility-related expenses by almost 29 percent and saving the district $1,943. Springtown Intermediate School’s utility-related expenses were $2,437 below projections, almost 24 percent under baseline projections. Measured fiscally, the February data reveals that SISD saw a total utilities cost avoidance of 15.3 percent; totaling $12,645 in savings for the month.

SISD honors its top students May 14-15 The annual Springtown ISD End-of-Year and Academic Achievement Awards Ceremony is set for May 14-15. First come the awards for high schoolers.

Chamber gears up for bike rally By Natalie Gentry With another successful Springtown Chamber of Commerce annual clay shoot under their collective belt, the members of the chamber have turned their attention to the next big event of the year. The 6th Annual All-American Bicycle Rally is set for Saturday, June 6. Last year almost 200 riders participated in the event and feedback indicates that everyone enjoyed the ride and BBQ sandwiches provided immediately following the race. Amy Walker, Chamber Di-

rector, anticipates an even bigger event in 2015. “Our riders enjoy the beautiful Parker County countryside, safe and well- planned routes, and plenty of friendly volunteers along the way,” Walker said. With routes encompassing 10, 28, 54, and 67 miles available, Dr. Robert Moss, committee chair, has coordinated with the Parker County Sheriff’s Department and local volunteer firefighters to help ensure the safety of the riders. This year the rally will also feature a short six-mile ride for families.

With minimal elevation change, this route is designed to get kids and their parents out on bikes. As always, volunteers are needed and welcomed – even if it’s only to cheer bikers along the course. Prospective riders can register at www.bikereg.com or download the application from the Chamber’s website and fax (with credit or debit card information) to the Chamber office at 817-523-3268. For more information, contact the Springtown Chamber at info@springtownchamber.org or by phone at 817-220-7828.

The priorities of the past and current City Council are out of balance with our needs. Bad decisions have been made for a long time, especially the last few years. They are out of sync with what is best for our community. Let me give some examples of how out of whack the city council priorities are: 1. They built a splash water pool for the community at an estimated cost of $750,000.00. This facility uses 80,000 gallons of water per day of operation. This was built during the worst drought we have had in North Texas in the last 25 years. We were under water restrictions at the time. Now we are under penalty from TCEQ (Texas version of EPA) for inadequate water supply and quality of water. And dumping untreated sewer into Walnut Creek (the creek running thru the park). 2. The water used by the splash pool is approximately 7,200,000 per season of operation. I would almost bet the Water/Wastewater Enterprise Fund is not being paid for that water, and the water used by the splash pool is enough water to supply approximately 600 new homes in the City. Not a single new home can tie onto the water system now because of the penalty of TCEQ (Texas version of EPA)!!!! 3. Knowing all this, don’t you think we need new leadership? Someone that can make a difference. Is this making sense to you? Don’t you think our priorities should be to correct our deficiencies? What can we do about this? It is time for a change at the top. The mayor position is the most important elected position in a small city. The Mayor needs to be persistent in dealing with North Texas Council of Governments, County Officials, State and Federal Officials, especially TCEQ and potential developers and lead a team for economic development. The mayor needs to have the time and unrelenting personality for the betterment of the community. Have we had that in the past or do we have that with the current candidates seeking that office?

We can have that if we elect Tom Clayton. He is persistent in this quest to lead. He has the time necessary to lead us out of the existing problems.

Why I now hate Stone Mountain, Georgia

had done almost everything I usually do while waiting for the Bride to get ready for church – found the iPad and lesson literature, listened to Get the Led Out on KZPS, prepared the coffee travel mug – when she said she was almost ready. That meant 10 more minutes at least, of course, so I decided to check the bank balance. That’s weird; it was way lower than it should’ve been. We had been talking about how little charges peck away – why, yes, Dave Ramsey’s financial theory is taught at our church – and this must be one of those instances. A list of pending debits included $48.43, $25.20, $54.95 – 14 of them in all. Wait. “STONE MOUNTAINGAUS”? What’s that? One of those things that you think will never happen to you, had happened to us. Oh, we’d been hit by a drunk driver and I had a little brother

die of cancer, but, for the most part, that low-percentage bad stuff had happened to someone else. But here was another one: Someone had stolen my banking information. We went to the bank the next day. The kind lady clearly had done this before as her what-a-way-to-start-aMonday sigh belied. She pulled up our account online as we assured her we had never been to Stone Mountain, Georgia. The bank lady said, “We tried to tell ya’ll that we were concerned about your account.” She said they called us – using a number that was at least 15 years old. “It’s important that the bank have a current number for you.” We fixed that right there. She added, “We also sent you a letter.” We had casually read it, we said, but thought it was just a typical notice of the reissuing of a new debit card. “We stopped your card,” the bank lady continued which explained why it was declined at Schlotzsky’s ear-

lier. (I thought it was because we went crazy and not only bought a large but deluxed it with extra wads of meat. [I highly recommend that, by the way.]) She began ON YOUR printing out a series of paperMARK work. That’s Mark K. Campbell when the ceiling fell in. Really. Right behind us, tiles fell from above, damaged by the previous night’s storm, causing a cacophony. The bank lady began talking on the phone as the ceiling repair guys fired up a giant wet-vac three feet from us. Occasionally we could hear snippets of “fraud department” and “already

approved” while a cast of characters scrambled around us – scruffy workers picking up plaster, business suit-clad bankers rushing around with forms, a Grant Wood couple sitting stoically on a bench by the door. It was like a Fellini movie. Or David Lynch. Finally, things began to sort out. I signed and addressed 14 different pieces of paper – “Each incident needs its own report” – and handwrote my narrative on the back of one of them. The Bride read what I wrote and told me I had the timeline wrong – it took me awhile to decipher what she was saying with the wet-vac din still ringing in my ears – so I scratched through a few things before my confession was complete. Then came the lesson. The bank lady said there were a number of ways my information could’ve been stolen. She showed us a printout of the illicit charges. “These here,” she said, “at the

Chevron. They probably offered to fill people’s tanks for $20 then just swiped the card. “And these Kroger charges, they are almost certainly gift cards.” There were three $54.95 duns and another for $59.18. I got no solace knowing some Georgia hillbilly was eating at Cracker Barrel on my dime. Our account was sucked down to $81.61 after other debits were noted, including several Walgreens’ deductions. The good news, she said, was that we might have caught it in time, that we might get some of the cash back. We staggered out of the bank to a nearby restaurant where we ate big breakfasts. The Bride paid – with cash. So, we learned a few things, mainly that, yes, it can happen to you. And, I’ll tell you one more thing: I’m never going to Stone Mountain, Georgia. Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and admits he finds Dave Ramsey kinda smug.

Letter to the Editor Economic growth depends on incentives Two weeks ago, I gave a speech at the Optimist Club breakfast. The whole point on giving the speech was to get people to start talking about the possibilities that could be available to the Springtown area for economic development.

And to let the general public know that the community may need to offer some incentives to get the retail, manufacturing or assembly plants in Springtown. Other communities in the Springtown area have been very successful in attracting development. And in some cases the incentives are the deciding factor. Incentives can range from property tax abatement, infrastructure improvements (drainage, road widening, water/sewer lines

or traffic control lights), free land or any combination of these items. A lot of communities will say we can’t afford to grant concessions to potential developers. Each community must decide the best direction for their needs. The possibilities for the right development can be limited, if incentives are not offered.

A grandfather’s story, Part 3: Surviving rough times

randfather Packard [mother’s father] settled at Rochester, one of the new towns, two miles north of Topeka. Great was the rejoicing in the little cabin home when Grandma and the others arrived from Maine. Among my earliest recollections are those of crossing the Kansas River, on our periodical visits to Grandpa Packard’s. “The bottomlands reaching from the river to the bluffs on the north were heavily timbered and several Indian huts were passed on the journey. These were all very interesting to us children and the passage across the river on the old-fashioned ferryboat appealed to my childish love of the novel and dangerous. “My recollections of Grandfather Packard are very dim, as he died in 1860, when I was five years old. He was a man of fine character. He was a good specimen of the best type of a

He entered the army as a surgeon and served until the close of the war. He settled in Springfield, Massachusetts soon after the war, where he prospered greatly in the loan business. [Note: Not true.

Jordan] “The hard times, resulting from the drouth of 1860, were mitigated somewhat by the temporary prosperity, which always reaches an agricultural community, when war breaks out. The sounds of war’s alarms did not reach us very distinctly in our prairie home, but my early recollections are always associated with the War of the Rebellion. “Father had gathered up a little bunch of cows, and during the war, he operated the first milk ‘route’ established in Topeka. The location of the capitol of the new state gave Topeka its first ‘boom’ and there was an active demand for milk, butter, eggs, cheese, beef, poultry etc., all of which brought a good price during the war. “I well remember riding around with Father on his route. During the summer – when there was a surplus of milk – he made cheese, and very good cheese it was, too. He usually had a supply of this cheese, and retailed it

It was my good fortune to spend much time in her home. I love to think that I was rather a favorite of hers, for she often took me home with her on long visits. I lived with her one winter, and went to school at Rochester. I was about ten years old, and enjoyed this experience very much. “In 1860 came the ‘Great Drouth,’ the effects of which were felt for many years. Crops were a total failure, wells and springs went dry. For many years the prairie was dotted with deserted cabins of settlers, who were literally ‘starved out.’ “Many of our neighbors packed up their belongings, or sold them for a song, and departed for the East.

He would kill a ‘beef’ occasionally in cold weather, and this, too, was peddled out in the same manner. “One of his customers was Father De Fourrie, the first Catholic priest to locate in the Topeka parish. One morning, quite early, Father was asked if he had any cheese. Father produced a large three-cornered piece, and handing the priest a generous slice requested him to try it. Father De Fourrie took the cheese between his fingers, and was just about to pop it into his mouth – when he suddenly dropped it to the ground. “Haven't said Mass yet” – was his reply to Father's questioning look of surprise. “These little incidents made a much deeper impression on my mind, at that time, than more important historic occurrences.” Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

House, Senate state budget conferees roll up sleeves

ith barely more than a month left in the regular session of the Texas Legislature, it’s time for the House and Senate to do whatever can be done to reach an all-points agreement on House Bill 1, the state budget for fiscal years 2016 and 2017. A widely reported sticky area in the estimated $211 billion budget is over which taxes to cut and how much to cut. House and Senate conferees will meet this week. From both ends of the Capitol, the budget has a ways-and-means inertia to it, with House leaders pushing for cuts in the state sales tax rate and the state franchise tax. Senate leaders favor more emphasis on cutting homeowners’ property tax rates, a job traditionally in line with the normal functions of local governmental bodies. School districts, for example,

get most of their revenue from local property taxes, and under the Senate plan, the state would have to make up for revenue lost to property tax cuts. The House plan, touted to provide some $5 billion in tax relief through other means, includes the first-ever reduction in state sales tax, with a 0.30-cent reduction in rate from the current 6.25 percent to 5.95 percent. Wherever such matters settle, the state’s checkbook must balance. Tax cuts will have to be “paid for” by corresponding cuts to budget items, such as health care, education, transportation and public safety. Last week, House Speaker Joe Straus and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick picked five members each for the conference committee on HB 1: House Appropriations Chair John Otto, R-Dayton; Rep. Trent Ashby, R-Lufkin; Rep. Sarah Davis, R-Houston; Rep. Larry Gonzales, R-Round Rock; and Rep. Sylvester Turner, D-Houston;

and Senate Finance Chair Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound; Sen. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa, DMcAllen; Sen. Joan Huffman, R-Houston; freshman Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham; and Sen. Charles Schwertner, RGeorgetown. Abbott challenges haze rule Gov. Greg Abbott on April 22 submitted comments to the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Planning Section over the agency’s proposed regional-haze rule. Abbott said the EPA’s proposed action “is unlawful on multiple fronts, and perhaps most egregiously it would impose a $2 billion burden in compliance costs and threaten the reliability of Texas’ energy grid — without any discernible benefits.” The governor is arguing that the EPA: (1) does not have the authority to regulate “invisible” haze; (2) oversteps its statutory authority by imposing a com-

found that “high volumes of wastewater injection combined with brine extraction from natural gas wells is the most likely cause of earthquakes occurring near Azle, Texas, from late 2013 through spring 2014.” On April 24, the oil and gas industry-regulating Texas Railroad Commission directed the agency’s hearings division to initiate proceedings requiring the operators of two disposal wells in the area of Azle, 17 miles northwest of Fort Worth, to “show cause” why the injection permits for the wells should not be cancelled and the wells ordered shut-in, due to an alleged connection raised by new seismic research between ongoing operation of the wells and seismic activity in the vicinity.

Springtown athletes shine at Area meet

18 advance to regionals, including 4 relays by mark k. campbell Now that’s the way to win a track meet. Springtown hosted the annual Area gathering where the top four finishers advanced to the regional meet in Lubbock May 1-2. But on April 22, the final race of the day – the boys varsity 4x400 relay – would decide the Area team champion. That would be Springtown – and in fine fashion. Porcupines Ricardo Reynoso, Mykeal Cummings, Mateo Herrera, and Dillon Springfield broke the Porcupine Stadium record, running the four laps in a scorching 3 minutes 23.89 seconds. Those final points gave Springtown the team title by one point over Kennedale and five over Alvarado. Not only did the boys 4x400 team lock down Region I-4A berths, but so did the 4x100 and 4x200 squads – as well as the girls varsity 4x400. A slew of other athletes will

compete in Lubbock, too, as Springtown athletes excelled on their home track. In all, 18 SHS track and field standouts advanced. For the girls, the speedy 400 duo of Kaitlyn Hill and Molly Gideon turned in the same performance as they did the week earlier during the district meet: They finished first and second, respectively. Heading to Lubbock, Coach Hannah Adams noted, “Our 400 runners are going in 2-4 from Area times.” A top two finish at regional automatically claims a lane in Austin at the state meet May 14-16. The coach said the girls 4x400 team enters Lubbock with the third fastest time in the region, based on Area results. “Anything can happen,” Adams said. “Good or bad.” Coach Brad Legan said, “I think we have several boys and girls who have good chances to compete in Lubbock.” In Area, Kylie Hornback won

the girls shot, joining Hill with gold medal worthy efforts. Hunter Robinson took the boys pole vault, clearing 11-6. Dillon Springfield ran the anchor leg of the first place 4x400 team. Earlier, he continued his domination of 4A hurdling events by winning the 110 and 300 races – giving him three golds at Area. Mykeal Cummings qualified for regional in four events: all three relays – where he always runs the second leg – and as the runner-up in high jump at 6-0. Other girls headed for the Region I-4A event: Brooklyn Dauenhauer, Alli Roglin, and Kristine Comacho. For the boys: Dawson Meek, Blake Sanders, Ryan Snow, Austin Chenault, Fisher Drewry, and Kaleb Chesney. Coach Legan said, “We are just going to focus on Friday’s prelims; if you can qualify for Saturday’s finals, anything can Just like in the District 8-4A 400 race, Lady Porcupines Kaitlyn Hill (right) and Molly Gideon finished 1-2.

SHS loses to C’berry After the first round of district play, the Porcupine baseball team was sitting atop 8-4A. But a rough ride through round two of district action has dropped Springtown (4-3 in district) in the standings. Still, SHS is playoff-bound. Getting in the final game of the season has been difficult this rainy April. Even the second to last game – against Castleberry – was moved to a Saturday. The Lions beat the Porcupines on the SHS diamond, 8-0. Sloppy play – Springtown had 6 errors – hurt. At the plate, the Porcupines got just 5 hits, 2 by Russell Gideon. Dylan Waddle got the start, pitching 4 innings and fanning 4 Lions. Ryan Neal struck out 5 in relief. Whatever the outcome of the season finale at Bridgeport (results not available at press time), SHS will play a tune-up Garrett Mauldin turns on a pitch.

Held at the SHS Multi-Purpose Center (MPC), the POJO Maker is split into two sessions – one for boys entering grades 9-12 and another for boys 7-8 and girls 7-12. The registration deadline is May 31. Other camps: • Soccer – June 2-5, three sessions for grades 1-3; 4-6; and 7-9 at Porcupine Stadium. $30/$40/$50. • Baseball – June 8-11, grades 3-9 at the MPC. $50 • Girls’ basketball – June 8-11 for grades K-9 at the SHS gym. $50 • Softball – June 15-18, two sessions for grades 3-5 and 6-9 at the SHS softball field. $40/$50 • Boys’ basketball – June 15-18, grades K-8 at the SHS gym. $50 • Football – July 27-30, grades 7-9 at the MPC. $50 A pair of “elite” camps is also slated.

Movie Man

Thursday, April 30, 2015 Springtown Epigraph

Movie Man: Knows all, sees all this summer Ah, trying to divine what the top 10 movies of the summer will be – always a Movie Man favorite. This year, curiously, the No. 1 pick has never been simpler. It’s after that one that things get tricky. This summer’s biggies Here’s how the blockbuster season will likely shake out: 1. The Avengers: Age of Ultron (May 1). The Movie Man has already said that this would be the year of two $1,000,000,000 dollar movies; the shocking success of Furious 7 (Movie Man No. 1134, a 5) will make it three. Right now, that epic level has been reached just 20 times. But what makes Furious 7’s success even more amazing is that it’s only the third movie to ever make $1 billion internationally, excluding its U.S. take. The other worldwide billion dollar hits: Titanic (1997, MM #212, 8) and Avatar (2009, MM #856, 7). There’s nothing this summer to come close to the anticipation of Age of Ultron. It’ll make a billionplus – and be joined by Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Yes, the Avengers will assemble – at the box office. 2. Inside Out (June 19) There wasn’t a Pixar movie in 2014. With that dearth and a strong coming attraction, this animated movie (and No. 4) will dominate the kid market this summer. 3. Jurassic World (June 12) Even today, Jurassic Park (1993, MM #5 [!], 9, Best of Year) is a wonder to watch. This addition to the dinosaur canon will bring droves to theaters well into August. 4. Minions (July 10) The solo Penguins of Madagascar (2014, MM #1115, 7) might’ve underperformed, but there’s no way that this spinoff from Despicable Me (2010, MM #885, 7) will misfire. 5. Ted 2 (June 26) The Movie Man got burned

by Seth McFarland last year when he picked A Million Ways to Die in the West as a Top 10-er. It was anything but; however, the earlier (mystifying) success of Ted (2012, MM #989, 3) can’t miss. The raunchy comedy will certainly fare better than McFarland’s failed Western. 6. Fantastic Four (Aug. 7) This is the Movie Man’s biggest Top 10 gamble. Previous attempts at this Marvel classic have been okay, but not the mega-hits other far lesser comic titles have enjoyed. This time it looks like they’ve finally got it right. And that needs to happen – historically FF is the best of all Marvel titles. 7. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (July 31) It’s hard to bet against Tom Cruise even with his off-screen weirdness. And the Mission: Impossible movies are always good. 8. Tomorrowland (May 22) This could do much better than eighth. The preview is strange and enchanting but doesn’t really scream summer blockbuster. Still, it’s Disney and they seldom misfire. 9. Ant-Man (July 17) This movie has the buzz that Fantastic Four should have. It has a Guardians of the Galaxy (2014, MM #1099, 7) vibe and

Top 10 Predictions Impressive prognostications Starring: Hulk, John Connor, minions, Ant-Man, George Clooney, Ted the gross bear, Pac-man, Tom Cruise, Pixar, Mad Max, Melissa McCarthy, U.N.C.L.E. email: movieman@azlenews.net

? ... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man that movie went berserk at the box office. 10. Pixels (July 24) Most Adam Sandler movies are cruddy, but his fan base remains huge. However, the preview for Pixels is terrific and the idea is great – old school video games come to life and attack earth; a ragtag group of former gamers must rise to defeat the likes of Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. List busters? A couple of movies could sneak into the Top 10. The Movie Man is a fan of Melissa McCarthy, and Spy (June 5) might pass $100 million. And it’s always chancy to bet against a Terminator movie;

even the denigrated last one (Salvation, 2009, MM #826, 6) made $125.3 million in the U.S. So Genisys (July 3) could certainly crack the list. But the Movie Man thinks a couple of other hopefuls – Mad Max: Fury Road and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. – will fade after decent starts. Follow the Movie Man Here’s how the Movie Man plans on mapping out his summer:

On the hunt for the elusive pink bluebonnet by mark k. campbell This week’s Home & Garden special section is filled with photos of a variety of flowers. Included are some bluebonnet shots that didn’t come easily. For more than two decades, Paula Campbell has supplied the paper with scores of photos. For the Home & Garden section, we wanted to highlight the wide variety of flowers that grow from gardens to roadsides. In early April, we had been driving south off Highway 183 before veering west from Lometa. Wending through back-

The story behind the photograph roads, our eyes were pealed for white and pink bluebonnets. Sharp-eyed Paula spied some white ones as we drove 55 mph toward Llano. I pulled over and sometimes traffic whizzed by too close, but she got the shot. (It’s on Page 22 of the special section.) This pink flower was much tougher, but, again, she managed to spot one; after we had waded through creeks and dodged suspicious cows, eyed speeding traffic and carefully trod among cactus and suspect cows, north of Llano on Highway 16, a few gentle, pink flowers peeked out among their blue neighbors.

Holiday heaven

Federal holidays Government workers are big fans of federal holidays. There are 10. Every year begins with a holiday – New Year's Day, January 1. A second January holiday is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,

every third Monday of the month. President's Day arrives in February, on the third Monday of February. It's officially Washington's Birthday but most folks lump in Abraham Lincoln, too, as well as recognizing “the legacy of all presidents.” Memorial Day is the last Monday of May. It originally was created for remembering those killed in the Civil War, but now all the dead from all wars are honored. Independence Day is July 4 and celebrates the adoption of Declaration of Independence in 1776. Labor Day is the first Monday in September, honoring America's working population, and it used to be crowded with

of holidays that aren't official by any means, but they are certainly popular. Groundhog Day, February 2, dates back to 1887. A critter's shadow unscientifically determines how many more weeks of winter remains. Valentine's Day is February 14, of course. The first massproduced cards were created in the 1840s. Easter commemorates the resurrection of Christ – dates vary. Earth Day comes around every April 22 and has since 1970. Arbor Day was proclaimed to be the last Friday in April by President Richard Nixon in 1970; however, a similar tree planting event has been observed since 1872. Recognized holidays Mother's Day started in 1914 In America, we have a slew when President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation. It's every second Sunday in May. Flag Day is June 14 and has been presidentially proclaimed since 1916. Father's Day is the third Sunday in June. It began in 1909 and, in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson issued the proclamation. Patriots Day is September 11 to commemorate the 2001 attack on America. Citizens are encouraged to observe it as a National Day of Service. Halloween is October 31. Pearl Harbor Day is always December 7 and commemorates the bombing of Hawaii that ushered America into World War II. parades all across the country. Today, it’s casually considered the “end of summer.” Columbus Day is celebrated on the second Monday in October. President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed the holiday first in 1937. Veterans Day is November 11. It began as Armistice Day to remember the dead of World War I. It morphed into honoring soldiers from all wars. Thanksgiving Day is the fourth Thursday in November, recalling 1621 when the first feast by Pilgrims is believed by some to have occurred. Christians and non-Christians alike celebrate Christmas Day on December 25.

Other holidays Some days are on the calendar but are not always official. April Fool’s Day is April 1 and is a day for mischief. Saint Patrick's Day is March 17, and it's wise to wear green if you are in elementary school or you might get pinched.
