Tropical Storm Bill Passes Through

Hot pursuit Motorcycle leads SPD, Azle officers on 120 mph chase

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN A high-speed motorcycle pursuit ended in a fender-bender that sent the motorcyclist to the hospital.

At about 12:20 a.m. Saturday, June 13, Springtown Police officer Clayton Morris noticed a motorcycle on North Main Street running 39 miles per hour in a posted 30 mph zone.

Morris turned around on North Main but said in a report that the cyclist looked at him and “hit the gas.”

Morris followed, but when the man turned east on SH 199, he knew the pursuit was on.

The man on the motorcycle is identified as 23-year-old Travis Brackeen of Bedford, according to Springtown police.

Officer Morris followed Brackeen east on SH 199 at speeds that reached 120 mph at times.

Springtown dispatchers alerted the Azle Police Department, and two Azle officers were ready as the pursuit entered that city.

Meanwhile, Brackeen ran the red light on SH 199 at Jay Bird Lane (FM 2257) and continued eastbound.

He must have noticed when Azle officers joined the pursuit in the area of Stewart Street in Azle, because he threw his hands up in the air and slowed to about 40 mph, Morris’ report says.

But then he accelerated again.

With three officers now in pursuit, Brackeen exited SH 199 at Wells Burnett.

When he attempted to turn onto Scotland Avenue, Brackeen hit his brakes hard. Morris was unable to stop in time and his patrol unit bumped into the rear of the motorcycle.

Brackeen was knocked down, but jumped up and ran on foot, trying to elude the three officers.

He jumped a fence into a yard, and when the officers ordered him to stop, he jumped the fence on the other side of the yard.

But two of the officers were able to corner Brackeen, who finally surrendered.

Tarrant County Sheriff’s Deputies arrived at the scene, which is just outside the Azle city limits, to work the accident.

Brackeen was transported to an area hospital.

It’s likely a warrant will be issued for his arrest on a charge of evading arrest or detention with a vehicle.

The widening of Walnut Creek keeps getting delayed by massive rainstorms.

After most days in May brought precipitation, some progress was made (left) as early June was dry and the creek flowed placidly. However, Tropical Storm Bill brought several inches of rain on Wednesday, June 17 and again work stopped when the creek escaped its banks once more at FM 51 (above).

Briar-Reno chief aiming big Smithers will oversee a trio of VFDs

BY MARK K. CAMPBELL “I don't want us to be a traditional volunteer fire department.”

That's what Chief Shannon Smithers said about the Briar-Reno VFD. And soon, a second hyphen will be added when the Pelican Bay VFD joins Briar and Reno.

Already those first two towns merging has Smithers directing 22 apparatus and 47 individuals. They run from 4 to 7 calls daily.

“We want to be more specialized locally,” he said. “I want us to be unique.”

And that goal is reached through training, Smithers

noted.

Which takes money, of course.

Smithers said he is encouraged that citizens in the B-RVFD coverage area are donating up 60 percent higher – a sign that the recent merger has been taken positively by local folks.

Initially, when Reno placed an involuntary $5 charge on citizens' water bills, there was some backlash.

Smithers said he did not like that charge and was glad it became voluntary – and when that happened, PLEASE SEE CHIEF, PAGE 2A.

Texas Legislature passes thousands of new laws

BY NATALIE GENTRY While the open carry measures and abortion limits have drawn a lot of attention in this year’s Texas Legislature, they are only two of the almost 5,500 new laws that have passed.

Lawmakers rejected thousands more.

Some of the new laws on the books once Governor Gregg Abbott approves them include: Fireworks: Until now, fireworks could only be bought in the 10 days before New Year’s Eve, Cinco de Mayo, and the Fourth of July.

The new law would extend this period to holidays that don’t have a date in their names including: • five days before Texas Indepen-

dence Day (March 2) • five days before San Jacinto Day (April 21) • five days before Memorial Day (the last Monday in May).

Vaping: Everyone younger than 18, will lose access to e-cigarettes. A law signed by Abbott will prohibit sales to minors. It takes effect Oct. 1.

Fracking: This law prohibits cities and towns from imposing local ordi-

nances preventing fracking and other oil and natural gas activities.

Starting vehicles: Right now, it’s illegal to leave a vehicle running on a street or highway if someone isn’t in it. A new proposal would let Texans start vehicles remotely – using fobs that replace keys – and not break the law.

Drinking at sporting events: Lawmakers tore down barriers that prohib-

it sports fans from carrying their beer from one part of an arena to another.

New form of ID: Texans could soon start to use their concealed handgun licenses as a valid proof of identification to do everything from buying beer to cashing checks.

Hair: Barbers and hair stylists will be able to leave their salons and legally help Texans prepare for special events, such as weddings, under this measure that has already been signed into law.

Sunscreen: School districts in Texas set their own rules on what medications are allowed. However, lawmakers have declared that students are allowed to bring and wear sunscreen.

Tasting alcohol: Those who are old-

er than 18 but not yet 21 could taste alcohol if it is part of a culinary course.

Snacks by the pool: A rarely enforced health department rule was struck from the books. It prohibited food and drink from being consumed in privately owned swimming pools and spas, such as the ones at hotels and resorts.

Student reports: The 12-week performance notice sent to parents of public school students could be delivered and signed electronically instead of being printed out, signed and returned.

Gold: Texans could pay to store their gold or precious metals in a TexPLEASE SEE NEW, PAGE 2A.

SEF tourney raises $24,000 Hot weather and even hotter scores were the theme of Springtown Education Foundation’s 16th Annual Scholarship Golf Tournament at Cross Timbers June 11.

The tournament raised an estimated $24,000 for the organization. Funds will be used for scholarships to Springtown High School graduating seniors in 2016.

Four teams were in contention for the top three moneywinning places and had to be determined by individual hole results.

Carding a 56, the team of Tyler Larson, Jody Lowery, Tim Horton, and Kyler Horton took first place by one less stroke on the determining hole giving them team prize money of $400.

The team was sponsored

by Castro Roofing, a premier Texas Roofing Company and longtime tournament sponsor for SEF. Third place finishers were Dr. Mauro Ganzon, Trace Kloven, Nathan Erdmann, and Matt Gadway; they took home $200.

Clinical Care Associates sponsored the third place team.

Additional prize money was awarded to David Wayne Sneed, Longest Drive of the Day; Lowery, Closest to the Pin; and Jayme Marcrum, Longest Drive in the Ladies Only contest.

The tournament, in its sixteenth year, is the major fundraiser for the Education Foundation. SEF is a 501(c) 3 organization which endows SHS student scholarships each May; in 2015, the group awarded in excess of $34,000.

With the departments now working as a single unit, volunteer retention is “good – we're working together.”

Smithers said he has several goals for the department, some in the near future and some long term.

Ribbon Cutting

XTO Energy, EnerVest deny fault in quakes

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN

Two companies summoned to show cause why their disposal wells should not be shut down are intent on diminishing the findings of scientists who studied a swarm of earthquakes in the Azle, Springtown, and Reno areas.

A spate of 30 tremblors shook the area during a 60-day period from November 2013 through January 2014.

XTO Energy, a subsidiary of Exxon Mobil Corp., and EnerVest were each called to testify before the Texas Railroad Commission (TRC) in the wake of a scientific, peerreviewed paper published by the researchers led by Southern Methodist University scientists.

The study showed that certain ancient faults in the region are near-critically stressed due to their orientation and direction, and that surprisingly small changes in stress can reactivate them, causing earthquakes.

“The model shows that a pressure differential develops along one of the faults as a combined result of high fluid injection rates to the west and high water removal rates to the east,” said Matthew Hornbach, SMU associate professor of geophysics.

“When we ran the model over a 10-year period through

a wide range of parameters, it predicted pressure changes significant enough to trigger earthquakes on faults that are already stressed.”

But XTO Energy officials argued before the TRC that the Azle quakes happened 2.5 miles deeper than the level where wastewater is injected.

They want the TRC to believe the earthquakes occurred naturally.

Officials from EnerVest took it a step further when they testified before the TRC, suggesting the TRC reject the SMUled team’s findings.

An attorney for EnerVest, Brian Sullivan of McElroy, Sullivan, Miller, Weber and Olmstead, LLP, told the TRC that the Azle earthquakes originated much deeper than the Ellenburger Formation, where EnerVest injects wastewater from drilling operations.

Sullivan said the scientists studying the Azle earthquakes have known that’s the case but chose to ignore it when publishing the paper.

A spokesperson for the researchers said they would not comment on the hearings, but did point to the “significant economic repercussions” XTO and EnerVest might experience if the TRC changes its policies as a result of the hearings.

The TRC has not indicated

it will reject the SMU study; however, the commission, on June 12, said in a news release that it has found no evidence that injection of oilfield waste into five disposal wells triggered a 4.0 magnitude – the largest ever recorded in North Texas – on May 7 in Johnson County.

Lead researcher Heather DeShon, a geophysics professor at SMU, said when there has been movement on a fault and the stresses change, the likelihood of additional earthquakes increases.

“This illustrates that we all need to think about the possibility of larger earthquakes in the region where we live,” DeShon said.

Bobbie was born in Startex (formerly Turkey Paw), South Carolina, on Jan. 8, 1942. She grew up in Pennington Gap, Virginia with 15 brothers and sisters.

Growing up, she worked helping her father working the family’s tobacco farm.

After high school, Bobbie joined the Women’s Army Corps, the women’s branch of the United States Army, where she served for 1-1/2 years.

She was stationed at Fort Riley, Kansas, where she met her soon-to-be husband, Ervin, in early 1962. A seven-month romance ended in marriage on July 28. The couple moved to Texas (Fort Hood) in 1967, and upon retirement from military life in 1969, Bobbie and her husband settled in Azle.

While taking care of her family, she earned two associates degrees, one in accounting. She used her accounting knowledge to land a position at Alcon Laboratories, from which she retired in 1996.

Reading, rock collecting, sewing, butterflies, gardening, and jigsaw puzzles were a few of her loves. Bobbie’s smile could light up a room and was loved by all who knew her.

Azle’s Veterans of Foreign Wars (VFW) Post 2137 passed out an award to a Springtown recently.

Hill named softball All-State

Two summer camps remain

Incoming senior lauded by Texas Girls Coaches Association

BY MARK K. CAMPBELL Kaitlyn Hill’s remarkable performance for Springtown during the 2015 softball season has been rewarded by District 8-4A coaches.

Hill, an incoming senior, was picked among the best in Texas, named All-State in 4A by the Texas Girls Coaches Association.

Hill batted a superlative .656 in 80 plate appearances.

Skilled at getting on base – her percentage was .688, thanks to 8 intentional walks as opposing pitchers avoided her – she belted 6 triples to go with 5 doubles.

Another exceptional achievement Hill performed was the in-

ability of rival hurlers to strike her out; she fanned only 2 times in 61 official at bats.

It all starts with the fundamentals and that’s what coaches were teaching at boys basketball and softball camps during the week. Springtown High School head hoops coach James Rike directed that gathering. SHS head softball coach Scott Mann had to take his charges indoors because of weather. Only two camps remain, both near the end of July. That’s when football coach Brian Hulett will lead a football camp.

At the very end of the month, an elite volleyball camp is slated.

SHS will compete in Division II against Class 1A, 2A, 3A, and 4A qualifiers.

Confessions of a non-transracial white dude

I

ain’t black.

You know, we thought we had most of this racial business figured out by the mid-1970’s.

But somewhere along the decades things appear to have regressed.

Now, while I’m not black – I’m old enough that African-American seems strange to say, to me and my black friends who are around my age – I’m a lot of other stuff. Everyone is.

And, apparently, some folks are “transracial”; they choose what race they are.

It looks like anyone can claim to be

any race – at least judging from the most recent news reports about a white woman, Rachel Dolezal, posing as an African-American and serving then resigning as the Spokane, Washington NAACP president.

Her parents – from Montana, motto: “Could we BE any whiter?” – have come out and said that, uh, no, Dolezal is not black.

A photo from her childhood seems to prove that the smiling blond – resemON YOUR bling a carb-eating Gwyneth Paltrow – is Czech, Swedish, and German. Good MARK luck getting any whiter than that.

What does all this transracialness Mark K. Campbell

mean?

Filmmaker Spike Lee has gone on record saying anyone with a single drop of black blood in them is black. So, we’re probably all black.

Back in the ‘70’s, we never thought 40 years later, all these tags

would still be applied – or new ones created.

One of my daughters married a Latino guy. Our granddaughters are as brown as they could be. Like it matters.

Our favorite story from Alicia is that, one day late in summer after playing outside often as a four year old, she announced in the living room that “she was so brown, she was almost full-blown Mexican!”

This really cracked up my whitestperson-on-earth daughter.

There are still times when, thankfully, race doesn’t matter. Sports is great

for that; you’re a team.

It didn’t matter on 9/11.

And we didn’t think about race at my previous profession, firefighting; do you think I cared what race the guy/gal was who I might need to pull me out of a burning, collapsed building?

Like I said, I ain’t black – I’m just an old white guy doing his best, trying to get racial stuff worked out...like most other folks.

We’re transgetalong.

few years later the empty houses that had stood vacant since the Great Drouth began to find tenants.

It was found that the log schoolhouse was so far away that it was inconvenient for the little ones, and a new district was organized, just south of Topeka. It was numbered fourteen. The first term of school opened in a small frame building, on the Jacob Willet’s place – known in later years as Lakewood Park. The first teacher was Hattie Copson, and I think it was her first school – and not much of a success, either.

“About 1869 a new schoolhouse was built on a two-acre tract – being the Northwest corner of our old farm.

It was a little box house about fourteen by sixteen feet, and we named it ‘Prairie Flower.’

“Many years afterward it was replaced by a more pretentious structure – much larger, which in turn was re-

came out from Pennsylvania about the time “Prairie Flower” was built and taught our school two years. She was a great favorite with all her pupils, as she was of a most disHISTORICAL lovable position, and HIGHLIGHTS took part in games.

Laurie Moseley our“All her big boys – of which I was one – succumbed to her charms and would do anything she required, with alacrity. My Uncle Sam Packard joined the procession, and laid such a successful siege that she became his wife – much to the delight of our family, who welcomed their new Aunt with open arms.

“Those were certainly ‘good old times.’ We had spelling schools, “exhibitions,” literary societies, Christmas trees, and all sorts of “doin’s” – in that little old school house. Any excuse for the young folks to get together – it did not matter much what we called the occasion. But the older folks enjoyed it, too.

“There was the Mathews family, and the Tiptons, and the Willets's – and the Johnsons, and the Kidneys.

The Smith families came into the neighborhood in the early 70's, and I was at once attracted by a girl with black eyes and hair, Annie Smith, by name – and so strong became the interest and so persistently did I press my attentions that she finally consented to change her name from Smith to Jordan.

“The little box house – the Prairie Flower of olden time – was moved to a site on the Burlingame road just west of the Country Club house, where it stands, being used as a dwelling (1915). Phebe Plummer taught in this little house one or two terms.

“Other teachers, whose names occur to me now are: Mrs. Mary Fisher – inclined to be fleshy, good-natured, and an excellent teacher; Miss Hattie Bowman, and Mr. J.C. Yohey – both of whom are living in Topeka (1915).

For these reasons, the spot is endeared to me greatly, and yet – were I to visit the place now, I would be considered a veritable Rip Van Winkle, and would be led to say, in the language of Joseph Jefferson: ‘Are we so soon forgotten when we are gone?’

Federal court of appeals rules on abortion law

A

three-judge panel of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit on June 9 upheld the constitutionality of House Bill 2, the state abortion law revised by the Texas Legislature in a July 2013 special session.

HB 2 and its provisions may be applied throughout Texas, the panel stated in a 56-page ruling, but drew two narrow exceptions: (1) a health clinic that performs abortions in McAllen may continue to function without upgrading its facilities to comply with standards set for ambulatory surgical centers; and (2) the law’s admitting privileges requirement does not apply to a certain medical doctor when he is working at the McAllen facility. Elsewhere, a physician performing an abortion must have admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the location where the abortion is performed in accordance with the 2013 law.

Governor Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and Texas Attorney General Kent Paxton each released a statement applauding the Fifth Circuit’s action. Planned Parenthood of Greater Texas Inc., while not a plaintiff in the case, also reacted to the Fifth Circuit ruling, saying: “If allowed to stand, this ruling will have a devastating impact statewide as access to safe, legal abortion is reduced to fewer than 10 providers for millions of Texas women. Limited access to other critical care provided at these and other health centers has already taken a terrible toll as clinics began closing two years ago.”

The plaintiffs, who are abortion providers and their patients, filed court papers seeking further review of the case by the U.S. Supreme Court.

Comptroller certifies budget State Comptroller Glenn Hegar on June 9 announced he had certified House Bill 1, the state budget. Certification is the last step before advancing to

STATE CAPITAL HIGHLIGHTS Ed Sterling

the gove r n o r ’s office for final approval.

HB 1 appropriates $209.4 billion in total spending for the state’s budget for the 2016-17 b i e n -

nium.

“This is a fiscally sound budget that is well under the constitutional spending limit and falls within the revenue estimate our agency provided lawmakers back in January,” Hegar said.

Sales tax revenue increases Comptroller Hegar on June 10 said state sales tax revenue in May totaled an estimated $2.6 billion, up 5.2 percent

compared to May 2014.

“This marks the 62nd consecutive month of growth in sales tax collections,” Hegar said, adding however, that “collections from the oil and gas mining sector declined, as was expected, due to the slowdown in drilling.”

Cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts will receive their June local sales tax allocations totaling $629.2 million, up 5.9 percent compared to June 2014, the comptroller said.

FEMA adds counties to list Over Memorial Day weekend, waves of tornadoes, severe storms and flash floods hit many areas of Texas, causing widespread devastation. The Federal Emergency Management Agency on June 6 added to its notice of a major disaster declaration for the state of Texas that was issued on May 29, when assistance was granted to Harris, Hays, Van Zandt, Cooke, Gaines, Grimes and

Navarro counties.

Bastrop, Blanco, Caldwell, Denton, Eastland, Fort Bend, Guadalupe, Henderson, Hidalgo, Johnson, Milam, Montague, Rusk, Smith, Travis, Wichita, Williamson and Wise counties were added to the declaration on June 6.

Commission elects new chair David Porter was elected chair of the Texas Railroad Commission by fellow commissioners Christi Craddick and Ryan Sitton on June 9.

Porter succeeds Craddick as head of the three-member commission that oversees the oil and gas industry-regulating agency.

A certified public accountant from Midland, Porter was elected to the three-member commission in 2010 to serve a six-year term.

In other news, on June 12, the Commission announced it had completed an analysis of hydraulic fracturing disposal well testing in Johnson Coun-

ty following a 4.0 magnitude earthquake there. “At this time, there is no conclusive evidence the disposal wells tested were a causal factor in the May 7 seismic event,” the Commission stated.

Governor signs clergy bill Gov. Abbott on June 11 signed SB 2065, the Pastor Protection Act, which he said would “ensure that clergy in Texas cannot be forced to violate their religious beliefs.”

“Religious leaders in the State of Texas must be absolutely secure in the knowledge that religious freedom is beyond the reach of government or coercion by the courts,” Abbott said in signing the legislation by Sen. Craig Estes, RWichita Falls, and Rep. Scott Sanford, R-McKinney.

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.

Movie Man

Thursday, June 18, 2015 Springtown Epigraph

Fourth Jurassic Park movie is a real monster As usual, it’s sequel/series city this summer. That’s been the case for quite a number of years now. In fact, we’ve already seen several sequels/series continuations arrive so far this year.

About the film While Jurassic World has proven to be a colossal box office hit, the majority of 2015 sequels have done nicely so far, too.

Hot Tub Time Machine 2 tanked big time back in February at a mere $12.3 million, but Insurgent, the second Divergent movie, did much better. The Movie Man skipped The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel, but, sadly, caught Paul Blart: Mall Cop 2 (Movie Man #1135, 3, and currently Worst of the Year).

The next three continuations were big hits: Furious 7 (MM #1133, 5, $350 million and still in dollar theaters); Pitch Perfect 2 (the Movie Man passed [and on the first one, too], a shocking $170.7 million and still tooling along; The Avengers: Age of Ultron (MM #1137, 7, $444.7 million and counting).

After Jurassic World comes Ted 2 (coming June 26). Then it’s Mission: Impossible – Rogue Nation (due July 31 and this fifth M:I has terrific advance buzz) followed by Terminator: Genisys and Magic Mike XXL (both July 3); the Vacation remake (July 29, also with big buzz); Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials (Sept. 4); Hotel Transylvania 2 (Sept.

25); Spectre (Nov. 6, the next James Bond); the final Hunger Games: Mockingjay, Part II (Nov. 20); Creed (Nov. 26, another in the Rocky boxing series); Alvin and the Chipmunks: The Road Chip (Dec. 23) and the most anticipated movie of the 21st century, Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Dec. 18).

Now here’s Jurassic World.

The Movie Man has seen the first three, of course: Jurassic Park (1993, MM #5 [!], 9, Best of Year); The Lost World: Jurassic Park (1997, MM #183, 7); and Jurassic Park III (2001,

MM #414, 6).

The plot (spoiler-y) Claire (Bryce Dallas Howard) runs Jurassic World; the park has been successful for 10 years, but stockholders are clamoring for something new to repack the park. Howard’s researchers create a hybrid critter out of a slew of other critters. But the mighty Indominus rex escapes its enclosure.

With 20,000 people on an island amusement park, Howard can’t get them all off, so the I-rex must be taken down.

That’s where Owen (Chris Pratt) comes in. He is working on taming velociraptors by imprinting on them at birth. They obey him, and that makes Hoskins (Vincent D’Onofrio) happy since he wants to sell the raptors to the military as weapons.

Howard has another problem.

She’s supposed to be watching her nephews, but they happen to be being attacked by the I-rex in a distant part of the jungle park.

Pratt and Howard find them and they all flee. But a helicopter accident sets free a zillion pteranodons and those critters descend on the trapped parkgoers. When the I-rex begins communicating with the raptors, suddenly it looks very bad for everybody.

Eventually, the boys and Pratt and Howard are trapped by I-

What doesn’t work This is another movie where a woman runs around in high heels – through alleyways and even jungle! – and manages to keep her distance from vicious creatures racing after her. She even out-runs a T-rex starting just a few feet away. It’s so dumb.

One worn-out movie trope doesn’t work here: the older brother who finally comes around to appreciate his worshiping little brother. Neither kid is memorable.

Getting a vehicle to start that had been in the elements for two decades also stretched things a bit.

est from zooming shots to creature eyeball close-ups to wide panoramas of Kauai (standing in for Costa Rica). And all the dinosaurs are simply amazing.

It was cool in 3-D, but the process could’ve been even better.

What works The sound is fantastic and Pratt is a sarcastic and funny; he pulls off the macho man that I-rex is one great looking, stuff fine. Howard is okay, too, very loud dinosaur. but really the humans are secThe rating Best scene ondary characters in a rampagThis is classic PG-13.

kids imperiled constantly. But it’s the dinos chomping on a variety of folks – realistically but not bloody explicit – that earns the rating. No small children, though.

Summing up Jurassic World is good. The effects are stunning and the movie delivers just about everything you’d want. But it’s still terrific summertime fun – that, by the way, had the biggest opening week of all-time.
