The creek below Saddle Ridge Court, engorged with several inches of rain, rose and washed out the Wise County bridge, cutting off several families west of Springtown June 17. The expanse was eventually repaired the next day, using a railroad tanker car with the ends cut off. Then residents could finally quit calling folks on the other side of the hole and return to taking care of their own needs again. How’d they fix Saddle Ridge Court? SEE PROCEDURE ON PAGE 2A!

Big rain washes out bridge, strands residents by Mark K. Campbell The rains began early Wednesday morning, June 17 and didn’t stop for hours. Eventually, Tropical Depression Bill, after coming and going while whirling around North Texas, dropped over five inches of rain in the Springtown area.

That was bad news for residents off Saddle Ridge Court, west of Springtown. The lone bridge for many of those folks washed away, stranding a slew of locals. The next day, a repair was made using remnants of a railroad car. But, for a while, Saddle Ridge Court residents could only talk on the phone and look

beyond the abyss at neighbors. The event garnered television coverage and reporter Carla Noah Stutsman’s photo of the washout was used by local media. At least five inches of rain fell, and, again, Walnut Creek roiled and boiled brown water through town – repeating an event that occurred several times

back in May. This exceptionally rainy stretch again delayed the widening of the creek near Farm Road 51. Water stood everywhere June 17, collecting at Optimist Park near the gazebo and covering streets and yards. The rain came in waves; except for a brief respite around 2 p.m. when the

eye of Bill rotated through, precipitation kept coming and coming, much of it windblown. After the deluge, some areas south of town saw almost two inches four days later on Sunday. Now, thankfully, a few dry days have arrived – but rain is likely this weekend.

Horse loose on Jacksboro Highway causes 2 accidents A horse on the Jacksboro Highway was the catalyst for a pair of nocturnal wrecks June 23. Springtown police were dispatched to one accident in the 1400 block of West Hwy. 199 at approximately 9:36 p.m. An investigation revealed that a 57-year-old Springtown woman was traveling westbound in a tan 1996 Toyota Camry. The Toyota struck a locally-owned

horse that had escaped the owner’s control and wandered out onto the highway. The collision caused the driver to lose control of the vehicle and drive through a fence. The driver and other occupant of the Toyota appeared to have suffered extensive injuries. Springtown Engine 48 and the LaJunta VFD spent approximately 15 minutes extricating victims.

Both occupants were transported to Harris Hospital in downtown Fort Worth by Lifecare ambulance. Shortly after the Toyota struck the animal, a second vehicle, a blue 2012 Chevrolet Tahoe, was traveling westbound and it, too, hit the horse. The Chevrolet was driven by a 38-years-old Jacksboro woman. She was the only occupant and did not have apparent injuries at the time of the investigation.

Some Springtown ISD STAAR testing results out of sight SHS numbers up in all categories, but improvement areas remain BY NATALIE GENTRY The Springtown Independent School District’s (SISD) most recent STAAR scores provided some very encouraging news for students and staff. “Results showed that the hard work put in over the last twelve months paid off in measurable ways,” said Mike Kelley, SISD Superintendent. “Obvious jumps can be seen on the two writing tests – our fifth grade scores climbed 12 percent and our seventh grade scores climbed 16 percent – and the fact that our Level III Performance improved in seven measurable areas from grades 3-8.” Springtown High School All five of the high school’s STAAR End-of-Course scores showed improvement over the previous year. “We have continued to make the needed amendments to the curriculum to raise the End of Course Exam scores,” said Scott McPherson, SHS principal. “This year’s results proved “Dangerous” Edison, as he is known to the kids, had the crowd in worthy of the hard work put in by the awe with his hands-on scientific “experiments” and science em- teachers and the tremendous effort of porium at the Springtown Public Library on June 18.

Fixin’ A Hole

The effort to replace the Saddle Ridge Court bridge was a daring affair – a successful one overseen by Wise County. A crane was brought in and it dropped a stout railway tanker car into position to fill the substantial gap washed out by Tropical Depression Bill. The replacement made for fine drama for spectators (upper right), ready to no longer be separated from the world. Photos by Carla Noah Stutsman

Epigraph earns state plaudits

Mighty Cold Ice Cream

The Epigraph finished tied for first place as the best paper in its division at the annual Texas Press Association competition. First place eluded the Epigraph, however, when the tiebreaker went to the Lake Travis View. Also tied in the competition was the Westlake Picayune. Still, the Epigraph had a fine showing, placing in seven different categories. The paper won one first place plaque, for reporter Natalie Gentry's newswriting. Her two stories – about a dog shooting that drew international attention and the disturbing story of a slain toddler found under a bridge south of town – were lauded by judges. “Immense detail and a beautiful illustration of a tragic story; both good reads,” judges noted. The Epigraph finished second in four categories: • advertising • feature writing – by Gentry • sports photography – by Mark K. Campbell, baseball

Springtown TEEA attends 4-H Roundup, presents scholarships BY NATALIE GENTRY State President of the Texas Extension Education Association (TEEA) and Springtown resident Julia Moseley presented $12,000 in scholarships at 4-H Roundup – one to each of the twelve district winners in Texas. This year a total of $2.3 million dollars was presented to more than 225 4-H members at Roundup, held at Texas A&M University. These funds come from many

different groups that support Texas 4-H and believe in its efforts to provide a better tomorrow for 4-H youth. The history of the TEEA stems from the Texas Home Demonstration Association. This organization was created in August 1926 by 399 women attending a Farmer’s Short Course at Texas A&M University. The primary purpose for creating the group was to establish a scholarship for a deserving 4-H girl.

The original scholarship of $200 has now grown to twelve $1,000 scholarships given to any 4-H member annually. Funding for the scholarships began with members donating 5 cents per year in 1926. They are now funded through the Texas Extension Education Association. “Our local Springtown Extension Education Club supports the scholarship program when we collect ‘Dollars for Scholars,’” Moseley said. “We also present scholarships here

in Parker County. Any time you help our club in Springtown or the Association in Parker County, you are helping us to help these young people.” This is just one of the organization’s many projects. “We have a great time working together, and we would love to have new members,” Moseley said. “There are no restrictions – anyone can become a member.” For more information, call 817-220-7759 or talk to any member.

and wrestling shots • news photography – a shot of a LaJunta fire by Gentry and a wreck photo by Campbell A pair of columns by Carla Noah Stutsman took third at the Austin gathering of Texas newspaper publishers and editors June 18-20. Finally, two pictures by Campbell – a halftime colorguard performance and a track starter’s gunshot – finished fourth in Feature Photos. This marked the second year in a row that the same staff tied for first place; last year, the Azle News lost a tie-breaker, too. Campbell, the editor for both papers, said, “It's tough to get so close to winning the coveted Sweepstakes plaque and get denied. “However, we clearly are doing a lot of things right; it’s nice to see our hard work being recognized by our peers.” The Texas Better Newspaper Contest was judged by the Maryland-Delaware-D.C. Press Association based on submissions printed in 2014.

SISD principals review individual schools’ STAAR results n SISD, FROM PAGE ONE.

The eighth grade moved up 3 percentage points in Social Studies as compared to 2014 STAAR results. Seventh graders increased by 16 percentage points when compared to the writing STAAR results from 2014 seventh graders. “These same students have increased by an average of 20 percentage points in writing STAAR since their fourth grade test results,” Wilson said. The seventh grade made a 12-percentage point gain as compared to 2014 seventh graders and a 5-point improvement for same group of students in 2014 as sixth graders. On the negative side, this year’s eighth grade slipped 10 percentage points in science. “SMS staff will disaggregate the data and get to the root of the problem that caused the slip in science,” Wilson said. The passing rate has not been established by the state for this year’s math STAAR. It is scheduled to be set in September 2015. “With the continued hard work by the students and staff, SMS will continue to increase the rigor of instruction in order to improve each year in all categories.” Wilson continued. He added, “While the rigor in all five tested areas will be addressed, particular attention will be given to science and Social Studies. “SMS will offer intervention classes in reading and math all year long. Science, Social Studies, and writing will be addressed weekly through the intervention classes.” Springtown Intermediate School Joe Brown, SIS principal,

noted that although passing standards have not yet been set for the current math STAAR, equivalent performance standards raw scores have been set. “In grade five, the raw score cut has been set at 22. The SIS average raw score was 32,” he said. “In grade six, the raw score cut has been set at 18. The SIS average raw score was 25. “Grade five math did not have multiple testing opportunities in 2014-2015.” After the first administration of the reading assessment in grade five, the passing rate was 76 percent. Following the second administration, fifth grade is currently at 86 percent. The third administration is June 23. “In grade six, the passing rate declined to 69 percent, which follows last year’s 16 point bump to 77 percent,” Brown said. “SIS will be making master schedule adjustments which will hopefully aid in improving the reading scores in 2016.” Science STAAR scores held steady with scores within the range of the three previous years at 65 percent. SIS will be attempting to alter the master schedule to allow longer blocks of time for science instruction. “All students are required to take a grade-level assessment,” Brown said. “Our school will continue to focus on assisting our students with disabilities in becoming proficient on these grade level accommodated assessments.” No district aspires to simply beat state averages, and SISD’s campuses share that philosophy, Kelley said. “Despite the encouraging improvement that we have seen, our students and staff cannot afford to ‘step off the gas’ or lose

focus,” Kelley said. “As we move through the summer, our principals and their campuslevel teams are identifying areas that will warrant particular attention during the next term. We will work hard to extend the progress we have made in reading, writing, and mathematics.” Kelley noted that the district will analyze the science curriculum and make necessary revisions so that those scores don’t decline again in grades five and eight. Special attention to the incoming sixth and seventh grade results will guide acceleration efforts throughout the fall and spring, and we are confident scores will improve in both classes. An effort to improve communication levels between home and all campuses will be a priority, and our hope is that parents will be able to provide reinforcement to the instruction given throughout the school day.

direction. “Similarly, we have to brag upon the amount of students reaching Final Recommended Standard on reading performance,” he continued. “In the 2014 testing, we had 28 percent of our third graders and 18 percent of our fourth graders meeting Final Recommended Standard on the reading exam.” This year, 37 percent of the third graders – a 9 percent increase – and 36 percent of fourth graders – representing an 18 percent increase – met Final Recommended Standard. “We are extremely proud of how our high achievers are performing,” Thomas said. “However, we recognize the areas in which we must improve. “Our writing performance did not meet our campus standards. With a 58 percent Level II Performance, writing will definitely be an area of focus,” he continued “Our campus has already scheduled additional professional development activities for our teachers and has allotted additional time in the 2015-2016 master schedule to insure writing is addressed with a high sense of urgency.” GECS’s disaggregated preliminary results show the school will be a “Met Standard Campus.” “From where we performed two years ago when we were placed under the Improvement Required Status, GCES teachers and students have definitely improved,” Thomas said. “We know only greater achievements are ahead of our campus and students.”

Goshen Creek Elementary “The 2014-2015 STAAR results for GCES were welcomed with mixed emotions,” said Principal Wesley Thomas. “Although, our campus was somewhat happy with the overall performance, GCES staff definitely possesses the drive to produce improved student achievement and results. Analysis of overall average of all tests taken within two years show that the average Level II satisfactory performance has increased by 10 percent. “In 2013, our campus average was at 61 percent. This year, our overall campus average meeting Level II Satisfac- Reno Elementary School tory Performance is 71 per“Although RES made posicent,” Thomas said. “We are tive improvement in all areas, definitely headed in the right we are not yet where we want to

be,” said Traunsa Reeves, principal. “I believe our trend line of improvement and growth will continue in an upward direction.” Third grade reading scores rose 3 points and fourth grade gained 10 points. The fourth grade writing scores were 12 points higher. The mathematics standards were calculated using the TEA Raw Score Bridge Cuts; 80 percent of third graders and 84 percent of fourth graders achieved Level II Performance. “We are especially proud of our math progress and success for our students' increased understanding of mathematics TEKS at a higher level of Bloom's hierarchy,” Reeves said. “Rigor and depth of knowledge has increased. “Areas of concern: In writing with economically disadvantage sub-population and the lack of Level III Advanced students,” she continued. “We made double digit gains in grades three and four reading Level III Advanced students, but our goal is to significantly increase the numbers each year for all our students.” Springtown Elementary School Principal Pearl Russell said, “Springtown Elementary is extremely proud of all our students and staff for this school year. This year’s growth has been tremendous in all grade levels.” The 2015 STAAR third grade results were 77 percent in reading and an average raw score of 27 in math The fourth grade results include 76 percent in reading, 71 percent in writing, and a mathaverage raw score of 30.

“We still have work in do in all subject areas but with teachers completing professional development this summer in writing, math, reading, and sheltered instruction along with the wonderful support and help from our parents and volunteers we expect this growth to continue,” Russell said. Summing up Superintendent Kelley said, “Our elementary campuses spent last summer and fall developing improvement plans that were very targeted. In many instances, the campuses saw double-digit gains compared to last year’s results. “It is a little disappointing that, because of a change in testing, the campuses won’t get credit for the significant improvement we’ve seen in math scores,” he continued. Student Raw Scores show that that performance in math improved dramatically compared to state averages, but these scores will not be included in 2014-2015 Accountability Ratings. “That said, we are very proud of the effort and achievement levels we have seen from our math students,” Kelley said. “Overall, I believe our stakeholders can be proud of what has been accomplished in the last twelve months, but also feel strongly that we must capitalize on the momentum we have gained. “Our teachers are talented, hard-working professionals who recognize that the state assessments are not the only measures of success, but I think they will be pleased that the most recent results provide positive evidence of what is going on in Springtown ISD.”

Grand jury returns no-bill in death of local businessman BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN

The man who killed an Azle businessman and former president of the Azle Area Chamber of Commerce will not face criminal charges. A Parker County grand jury returned a “no-bill” in the shooting death of Bradley Clayton “Brad” Bettis, 40, after reviewing evidence in the case Thursday, June 18. Azle police were called to the 600 block of South Stewart Street at 5:54 p.m. that day because of a verbal altercation between the two men. Before police arrived, the argument escalated. Rogers produced a handgun and shot Bettis several times. Bettis – who was unarmed – died at the scene.

Dennis Howard Grady

According to reports, Rogers was at the scene when police arrived, admitted to shooting Bettis, and said Bettis was assaulting him at the time of the shooting. In a statement he gave Texas Ranger Tony Bradford, Rogers said he was dating Bettis’ exwife at the time of the shooting. Rogers listened to a voicemail from Bettis before the shooting in which Bettis was very upset and made threats. When Bettis sped up his driveway, got out of his truck, and began running toward him, Rogers said he pointed the gun at Bettis and told him to stop. But Bettis kept advancing and hit Rogers in the head, he told Ranger Bradford.

That’s when Rogers said he fired the gun until Bettis stopped coming toward him. A statement from Rogers’ 16-year-old son, who was present at the scene of the shooting, corroborated Rogers’ description of events leading up to the fatal shots being fired. The teen also said Bettis threatened to kill Rogers as he was running toward him. According to a press release issued by Parker County District Attorney Don Schnebly, Bettis left Rogers a voicemail threatening injury if Rogers were caught around Bettis’ children. On a separate recording of an argument between Bettis and his ex-wife, Bettis can be heard threatening to kill Rogers, the

press release says. “We presented the evidence to the grand jury to allow them to determine if Mr. Rogers’ use of deadly force in self-defense was justified,” Schnebly said. “The grand jury’s decision will close our review of this tragic situation.” Bettis grew up in Azle, graduating from AHS in 1993. After college, he was an insurance agent with First Independent Insurance for 12 years. He was active in the rodeo community, as well, where he served as a rodeo judge for North Texas High School Rodeo Association and in the Pro Rodeo Cowboys’ Association. He is the father of two young children.

Til Sunday will also take the stage and provide uplifting music for the crowd. The Fourth Annual Lew Shaffer Award will be presented, as well. A highlight of Follow The Flag, this award is symbolic of the dedication, love and service exemplified by the beloved FTF founder and co-founder of Son Shine Ministries. Shaffer and his wife Sandy serve as honorary committee members for the event, as well. That’s apropos, since the event was birthed out of a dream Shaffer had of an event where Christians could celebrate both their patriotism and their faith on the anniversary of American independence. Fireworks will be produced by the Briar-Reno Volunteer Fire Department under the direction of Stoney Stonebraker.

Football ‘bible’ likes Springtown to reach the postseason again this autumn BY MARK K. CAMPBELL The first time the football Porcupines hit the field for 2015 comes mid-August against Sanger. Springtown will scrimmage the Indians – the same squad that knocked SHS out of the postseason last year. And, if the just-released Texas Football magazine is right, Sanger and Springtown will meet again in bi-district this November. The publication has pegged the Porcupines to finish third in 5-4A, behind powerful Kennedale, the favorite, and Alvarado. While making such predictions so far in advance is iffy at best, Springtown Head Coach Brian Hulett noted, “It’s is nice to be considered a playoff-calibre team.” But he and his staff aspire for more than being of postseason calibre. “We see it as a challenge to not just be a playoff team. We want to be fighting and competing to win district,” Hulett said. Texas Football highlighted several players with experienced wide receiver Mateo Herrera earning a “Player to watch” mention. Last season he caught 38 passes for 478 yards and 5 touchdowns and spent ample time returning kicks. “Herrera is Springtown’s primary playmaker on offense,” the magazine noted. Also earning recognition were defensive back Fisher Drewery (104 tackles) and stout lineman Jesse Springfield. This season, the Porcupines return seven starters – 4 on offense and 3 on defense. Among those highlighted: linebacker Dylan Waddle;

Campbell “athletes” Austin Bauman and Jonathan Chavez, and receiver Brandon Santos. Quarterback Kaleb Chesney is fully recovered from his broken wrist that occurred in last year’s Homecoming game. The Porcupine offense is already hitting gridirons; Springtown has qualified for the state 7-on-7 tournament and will play in College Station July 9-10.

Two camps set here in late July

Former SHS VB standout transfers

Football and volleyball

Meek leaving Ohio for SC

Two summer camps – the final pair – arrive in July. The annual football camp is slated for July 27-30. Conducted at the Multi-Purpose Center, the fee is $50 for incoming 7 through 9 grade boys. Each boy who signs up for the same camp from the same family participates at half price. On July 30-Aug. 1, an Elite Volleyball Camp arrives for incoming 9-12 graders. Set for the SHS gym, the camp costs $125 if submitted by July 23; it’s $10 more after and $15 additional – cash or money order only – on the day

of the camp. Once again, veteran high school coaches Julie Green and Hollie Hutson – both of whom played and/or coached in Springtown once – will direct the high-intensity, rugged camp. Green has been ESPN’s National High School Volleyball Coach of the Year and led Coppell to back-to-back state titles. Hutson coaches the Chisholm Trail HS varsity and also has extensive playoff experience. For more information on the two events, camp info remains Hollie Hutson, head coach of 5A Saginaw Chisholm available at www.springtown. Trail High School, will be joined again by veteran Julie net. Green for the elite volleyball camp. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

After spending a season at Malone University in Canton, Ohio, former Lady Porcupine volleyball star Shelbi Meek is transferring. Meek will play her sophomore season at Francis Marion University in Florence, South Carolina. In her first collegiate efforts in Ohio, Meek played in all 30 matches. She finished with per match averages of 1.71 kills, 0.62 digs, and 0.25 blocks, hitting at a .131 percentage. Malone finished 15-15 and reached the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Conference tourna-

ment. At Springtown, Meek was All-State and an MVP. Marion coach Paul MacDonald said of the 5-9, outside hitter/defensive specialist: “Shelbi is a tremendous all-skills player. We were interested in her coming out of high school, and, after a standout season at Malone, will now look for her to finally arrive in Florence and bring an offensive and defensive impact to our attack.” Marion plays in the Peach Belt Conference in NCAA Division II with 12 other schools from Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and the Carolinas.

Placing odds on the first woman on the $10

like women. I married one and reproduced two more. They are remarkable females – but probably aren’t the sort who will end up on the $10 bill in 2020. A federal law says that living folks can not be put on U.S. currency. Likely, that edict will be dashed by 2020, so every possible American woman ever should be up for the honor. It’s a tough call. In today’s pop culture society, if they take an Internet vote, whichever booty-shakin’ musician who happens to be hot in 2020 would get the nod. But this is a unique honor and requires deep and detailed thought. So, here’s how I see the odds of the first woman to appear on the $10 bill. Taylor Swift, 1,000,000 to 1. In five years, she could be the most famous person on the planet – even

though I still don’t know one of her songs. Marilyn Monroe, 750,000 to 1. She would make the hipsters and movie buffs happy. By 2020, the bill could contain a 3-D image of her skirt blowing up like in the movie Some Like it Hot. Caitlyn Jenner, 749,000 to 1. The world keeps getting weirder; what better way to pacify the wildeyed liberal left than putting the former Olympic decathlon champion on the bill? Emily Dickinson, 600,000 to 1. I love the idea of poetry on $10; every time they reissue it, new verses could be put on the bill. I think “Because I could not stop for Death/He kindly stopped for me” would make great retirement incentive. Maybe someone would save that $10 and not buy a Coke which will probably cost

that much in 2020. Amelia Earhart, 300,000 to 1. She broke plenty of records but getting lost forever put a dent in her resume. Sandra Day ON YOUR O ’ C o n n o r, 200,000 to 1. MARK The first Mark K. Campbell woman Supreme Court judge should merit consideration but most folks will rule against it. (Sorry.) Sally Ride, 100,000 to 1. Back when we were enamoured with space travel as a country, the odds for the first female astronaut would’ve

been much better. But too few care in these times. Michelle Obama, 50,000 to 1. I think the last eight years have proved that anything can happen. Hillary Clinton, 50,000 to 1. She’s a Clinton, so don’t rule anything out. Shirley Chisholm, 25,000 to 1. She was the first elected black woman to serve in Congress and also vied to become the Democratic presidential nominee in 1972. Her face on the $10 would revive her legacy. Rosa Parks, 10,000 to 1. She got all the press for being a civil rights activist even though others protested before her. Still, she’s got the name recognition. Harriet Tubman, 5,000 to 1. Anyone who was key in creating the Underground Railroad should receive substantial consideration, but I think

she’ll get cancelled out by... Harriet Beecher Stowe, 5,000 to 1. Too many Harriets causes confusion. However, the idea of an author – she wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin – is cool. Helen Keller, 100 to 1. This would be a great choice. Who else overcame seemingly impossible odds – man or woman – to achieve such astonishing success? Eleanor Roosevelt, 10 to 1. If not for No. 1 below, she makes the most sense; Ms. Roosevelt fought for all races, colors, creeds, and sexual persuasions. Oprah, 2 to 1. She already owns most of the $10s anyway, so we might as well just put her face on them. Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and avoided the urge to nominate his favorite woman, Mrs. Bairds.

A grandfather’s story, Part 11: Recalling college

uring the closing years of the war of the rebellion, Lincoln College was founded. It was under the patronage of the Congregational Church. “A stone building was completed in 1865, on the present site of the Memorial Building, on the corner of Tenth and Jackson Streets, and I think the school opened in the fall of 1865. There were but few students in the college proper, but the preparatory department was composed of pupils who studied the common branches of a grade school. “My brother, Frank, and I attended ‘College’ – and I mastered the abstruse calculations involved in such subjects as long division, finite verbs and the source of the Hoang River.

sachusetts – gave the college an endowment fund of $25,000, on condition that the name of the college be changed to ‘Washburn College.’ The offer was accepted, and Lincoln College became a memory – still dear to the hearts of the “old timers.” “A quarter section of land had been secured for the college – mainly through the efforts of John Ritchie and Mr. Rice. On this new site a new building was erected, and in 1874, the first session was held in what is now called ‘Rice Hall.’ It stood away out on the bleak prairie – far from any other buildings, about two miles in a southwesterly direction from the center of the town.”

OPINION

Springtown Epigraph Thursday, June 25, 2015

Final decisions made on bills passed by Legislature

overnor Greg Abbott on June 20 completed the task of reviewing all bills that were passed by the Texas Legislature. He had until midnight on June 21 to get the job done. Of the 6,276 bills filed by the House and Senate during the Legislature’s 84th regular session that ended June 1, some 1,323 were passed by both bodies and therefore earned a trip to the governor’s office for final scrutiny. Of those bills, Abbott signed 1,202 into law, let 162 become law without his signature and vetoed 41. Preliminary findings released Questions about earthquakes in a zone where oil and gas exploration is widespread brought together state agency personnel, researchers and industry representatives in a June 5 meeting on a study titled, “Causal Factors for Seismicity Near Azle,

Texas.” Texas Railroad Commission, the state agency that regulates the oil and gas industry, on June 18 released a summary based on information presented at the meeting. Three of seven “key findings” by the researchers were these: 1. Hydraulic fracturing was not a cause of these earthquakes, and that this is a common misconception in the public and media that should be resolved. 2. The vast majority of disposal wells do not have associated seismicity, but disposal wells in close proximity to critically stressed faults could change pore pressure and reduce effective stress, resulting in seismicity if faults are oriented in a particular way. 3. The researchers stated that their work is ongoing and that better data could enhance their modeling and research.

Abbott expands declaration O n June 18, G o v . Abbott added 24 more counties to his STATE disaster declaCAPITAL HIGHLIGHTS rr ea ltaitoe nd Ed Sterling to widespread severe weather, tornadoes and flooding events that started May 4. The addition of those counties increased the total number of counties named in the declaration to 104. “The use of all available resources of state government and of political subdivisions that are reasonably necessary to cope with this disaster” are

authorized by the disaster declaration. More counties may be added as the situation develops, according to the Governor’s Office. Fifth Circuit rejects appeal The New Orleans-based U.S. Fifth Court of Appeals on June 19 rejected a motion by plaintiffs to stop the abortion law revised by the Texas Legislature from taking effect. Plaintiffs, the operators of several women’s health clinics that provide abortions under strict guidelines, have an emergency appeal pending before the U.S. Supreme Court. Unemployment edges higher Texas Workforce Commission on June 19 announced the state’s seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased to 4.3 percent in the month of May from the 4.2 percent recorded for the month of April. Still, Texas gained 33,200 seasonally adjusted nonfarm

jobs in May bringing the overthe-year total to 286,400 jobs added. Ronny Congleton, the agency’s commissioner representing labor, said Texas now has 13 million workers. Notably, the U.S. Department of Labor Statistics calculated the nation’s unemployment rate at 5.5 percent for the month of May. Scorecard compares Texas State Comptroller Glenn Hegar on June 16 announced his office’s launch of an Internet-based way to compare Texas to other states in key areas. The scorecard, he said, “takes a balanced look at Texas and paints a mostly positive picture.” However, he suggested, there are “challenges the state needs to address. For example, the scorecard shows Texas has some of the nation’s highest local debt, has a population in which 10 percent of households

have no bank account and has the second-highest percentage of residents above the age of 25 who lack a high school diploma.” Texans who have access to the Internet may visit cpa.state. tx.us and click their way to the scorecard and its contents. Governor names SBOE chair Gov. Abbott on June 18 nominated Donna Bahorich of Houston to succeed Barbara Cargill as chair of the 15-member State Board of Education. Bahorich lists on her resume service as district director and communications director for Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick when he was a state senator. Bahorich’s appointment as SBOE chair is subject to confirmation by the state Senate. 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 25, 2015 Springtown Epigraph

Emotional rescue theme of Pixar’s latest hit For a long time, the genius animators at Pixar seemed to never miss; it looked like they would produce an endless series of exceptional movies. However, a few years back, the winning streak ended for the studio. But it has righted the ship with Inside Out. About the film The Movie Man has seen every full-length Pixar movie. Here they are from best to worst. 1. Finding Nemo (2003, Movie Man No. 510, 9, Best of Year) – with Shrek (2001, MM #405, 9, Best of Year), Nemo is the best animated movie ever 2. Toy Story 2 (1999, MM #315, 9, Best of Year) – most prefer the other two TSs but this one edges out those other greats 3. The Incredibles (2004, MM #585, 8) – a must-watch every time it’s stumbled upon 4. Toy Story (1995, MM #103,8) – the first one, a marvel 5. Up (2009, MM #827, 8) – funny and it contains that silent heartbreaking scene early that’s never been matched 6. Toy Story 3 (2010, MM #882, 8) – touching and filled with memorable scenes 7. WALL-E (2008, MM #779, 7) – better upon every viewing 8. Monsters, Inc. (2001, MM #2001, 7) – probably the funniest Pixar movie 9. Inside Out (2015, MM #1144, 7) – a very solid movie, deeper than any other from the studio 10. Brave (2012, MM #988, 7) – better than you remember 11. Ratatouille (2007, MM #725, 6) – many like this one better than the Movie Man 12. A Bug’s Life (1998, MM #262, 6) – pretty funny but the one most people can’t remember is a Pixar film 13. Cars (2006, MM #670, 5) – colorful but, for the Movie Man, didn’t work like the others 14. Monsters University (2013, MM #1041, 5) – the biggest Pixar disappointment

15. Cars 2 (2011, MM #936, 4) – clearly the worst effort from the studio If you average out those scores, Pixar sits mighty pretty with an average movie score of 6.93 – no other studio can touch that. The plot A young girl, Riley lives a happy life, evidenced by the unseen emotions that control her – Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), and Disgust (Mindy Kaling). But a move from Minnesota throws Riley’s existence into a tizzy. The emotions battle in trying to help her navigate this new part of her life. When Riley’s memories become screwed up, Joy and Sadness head into the deep brain to try and make things right – leaving Anger, Disgust, and Fear to try and keep Riley afloat in her new surroundings. The effervescent Joy and mopey Sadness find the going tough in the subconscious until they run into Bing Bong (Richard Kind), Riley’s imaginary friend. Meanwhile, Anger, Disgust, and Fear are failing miserably. But the determined Joy discovers that Sadness has more value than any of the emotions ever imagined. And the day is saved.

Inside Out

It’s okay to be sad sometimes Starring (voices): Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Lewis Black Directed by: Docter/Del Carmen Rated PG: emotional situation, a kinda scary clown (aren’t they all?) email: movieman@azlenews.net

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man What works Boy, the voice work in Inside Out is fantastic. While Poehler, Hader, and Smith are memorable, Black steals the show. Anger gets mad pretty easily, and he’s always PO’d about something. When he’s full-tilt, Anger’s head literally burns with flames. Black’s line readings are flat-out hilarious. Once again, Pixar has created a movie that requires multiple viewings. This film is deep and one of those that’s fine for kids – if maybe a little boring early on – and super for adults. It’s wonderfully colorful and inventive with plenty of quickhitting jokes for grown ups. And the scenes over the end credits with the same five emo-

tions being seen in other people and even animals are a hoot. Sensitive folks (like the Movie Man) will especially be touched by a couple of sequences. The ending is a powerhouse when Sadness finally does her thing. That second one?... Best scene (big spoiler) Joy and Bing Bong are trapped in the mental Pit of Despair from which there is no escape. Except that Riley and Bing Bong, imaginary friend

from years before, had built a “rocket ship” made from a red wagon and brooms. That memory has been discarded – until Joy finds it buried in the pit. With Bing Bong, Joy tries and tries but fails to fly the contraption out of the pit. Bing Bong knows what must be done. He bails out, mid-flight, allowing Joy to escape. She looks down at him – as the imaginary childhood memory finally fades away forever. You probably never thought you’d tear up at a goofy character named Bing Bong; you’d be wrong.

Summing up Inside Out is good for young and old – hard to complain about that. It’s a borderline 8 but just took a little too long to find its momentum to merit that elite number.

Next up The Movie Man will subject What doesn’t work While it has lots of laughs, this himself to Ted 2. isn’t a joke-heavy movie. And the children in the crowd with the Movie Man weren’t knocked out by it. It’s especially slow early, for kids’ attention spans. The story is actually a little 817-238-8300 dense and that might put off some viewers. (Another reason 3980 Boat Club Rd Lake Worth SERVING FOOD, BEER & WINE some kids got restless.)
