Police debunk attempted child abduction story BY NATALIE GENTRY Springtown police have concluded that a recent post on a social media website claiming that an attempted child abduction took place in Springtown this past weekend is not true.

The rumor circulated throughout the city and online, authorities said, prompting several anxious parents to call the police asking what happened. “Offi cers investigated the incident and determined the situation involved

a child who was mad at a parent and got out of the car,” said Springtown Police Department Public Information Officer Laura Stone. “The parent then drove alongside the child, trying to get the child back

into the car. caution. “It was not an attempted abduction.” However, most comments on the During the investigation, offi cers original post agree that it is impordid warn parents of the possibility that tant for parents to remain vigilant and a child predator was in the area as it know where their children are at all is always better to err on the side of times.

City seeking FEMA aid for storm damage BY NATALIE GENTRY The City of Springtown is still working to get continued funding for damage caused by storms that ripped through the area in early May. Representatives from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) visited the city in June to determine if the damage was significant enough to warrant federal aid. According to Springtown Mayor Tom Clayton, the FEMA personnel gave the city high marks for documentation of the damage. Conceptual cost estimates the city provided to FEMA included: two sections of waterline that go under two different creek crossings and another section of an aerial sewer line spanning Walnut Creek. According to the city’s engineering fi rm, Freese and Nichols, the base bid for permanent repairs to the pipes is $579,270. City Administrator Doug Hughes noted that the city has already recognized approximately $33,000 for temporary repairs to these lines, and

May fl oods damaged two waterlines at Walnut Creek crossings and city offi cials are seeking federal funds to help pay for those repairs. Officials from the Federal Emergency Management Agency toured the repaired areas recently. Photo by Mark K. Campbell FEMA has this cost as well. Hughes said FEMA has made no decision to date if they will fund any projects in Parker County. “However, FEMA has fi nished their fi rst step and determined Parker County has met its threshold for fi nancial

losses due to the fl ood events in May,” Hughes said. He also said that one of the city’s grant consultants recommended the city pass its own disaster proclamation just in case it is needed for funding that cannot be received in conjunction

with the county. This proclamation was announced by Mayor Clayton at the June 25 council meeting. County commissioners rode with FEMA offi cials to check out several damaged roadways.

The county had already made repairs because those roads were essential for travel. FEMA said it would have preferred seeing the roads in their damaged state but understood the county’s situation, Commissioner George Conley noted.

This year already one of wettest in history And it's only early July BY MARK K. CAMPBELL Ah, the weather – the one topic everyone likes to talk about. We entered 2015 in the throes of a years-long, dusty drought. Now, barely six months later, that phenomenon is a distant memory, and we're trying to dry out. When it comes to precipitation, this year is marching up the historical meteorological ladder as one of the wettest ever.

This July 8 downpour just south of Springtown added to the remarkable precipitation that has fallen in 2015 so far. If we average our usual amounts for the rest of the year, the area will finish with its seventh highest total ever. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

Gathering data People often wonder why an airport is the offi cial weather reporting entity. Because of the urgency in maintaining up-to-the-minute meteorological information for fl ights, airports always have the latest observation and forecasting technology, including radars. Local rainfall records go back to 1898 around here. The fi rst reporting station, from 1898-1940 was an offi cial area in downtown Fort Worth. From 1940-53, Meacham Field gathered data. Great Southwest International Airport was the offi cial spot from 195374 then DFW Airport arrived and has been the official site since. Naturally, we are many miles from DFW so their rainfall totals can differ widely from ours; still, that airport's PLEASE SEE RAIN, PAGE 2A.

Texas both got some relief from the sky. In 1980, the brutal months of July (0.71 inches) and August (a trace) were followed by a substantial 6.54 inches in September. Still, the final yearly total of 22.08 was well behind the 37.8 inch average – by 15.72 inches. In 2012, the year began wet with 6.18 inches in January.

tally is what is recorded for prosperity. Rainy days... The area has seen some remarkable precipitation extremes through the decades, according to the Dallas/Fort Worth office of the National Weather Service. It rains an average of 81 times every year with a usual rainfall total of 37.8 inches. This year, we are already near – officially – the yearly total for the area. (I live a few miles south of Springtown and am already well past 37.8 inches.) So far in 2015, the official total precipitation is 35.58 – and that does not include what has already fallen in July. Certainly, we will pass the average. But just how far? Since 1898, it has rained more than 40 inches in a year 23 times. Exceptional totals – those beyond 50 inches and certainly possible in 2015 – have occurred only five times.

Creek widening project flowing along Officials expect to hit projected completion date of Aug. 31 By Natalie GeNtry The Walnut Creek widening project may have hit a few hiccups due to repeated rains over the past month. However, according to Freese and Nichols Superintendent Daniel Steinshouer, the project is still on target to meet the Aug. 31 completion deadline. The work on the east side of Farm to Market 51 is about 75 percent complete, according to the contractor’s estimates given to Steinshouer, who relayed the information to City Manager Doug Hughes during a conversation on July 8. The contractor also said the crew will begin work on an eight-inch water line and a storm drainage line on that same side of the street. “He said he was confident that the work on the Work on Walnut Creek has been stop and go thanks to one of the wettest springs and early summers in history, but officials say east side of FM 51 should be finished in a couple the waterway’s widening will meet its aug. 31 deadline.

Blaze sends Reno firefighter to hospital Puppies, other animals rescued from July 4 nocturnal blaze By mark k. CampBell A late-night house fire sent a BriarReno volunteer firefighter to an Azle hospital as a precaution. On the scene in the 1600 block of Coral Road early in the morning of July 4 were B-R VFD and Azle firefighters.

B-RVFD’s D.J. Hammond exited the mobile home and had some issues at rehab, B-RVFD Chief Shannon Smithers said. “He got too hot then cooled down too quickly,” the chief said. “We thought he might be a bit shocky, so we transported him as a precaution.”

After receiving fluids, Hammond was treated and released at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle. Smithers said fire was visible through the roof when crews arrived shortly after midnight. An interior attack stopped the fire

in the living room and kitchen area and kept it from running through the ceiling. Still, the mobile home was a total loss. Smithers said firefighters saved five puppies as well as adult dogs and cats. “There were a lot of animals in there,” the chief said.

He said crews were on scene approximately three hours. Tarrant County Fire Marshal Randy Renois said the fire remained under investigation by Deputy Marshal Mike Rehfeld who was still interviewing and reviewing the situation at press time.

SPORTS

UIL rule changes for 2015-16 affect many sports to be 30 feet high; 20 feet is mandatory. Above the crossbar, uprights will be painted white or yellow and be 23 feet, 4 inches apart. However, when playing on collegiate gridirons, if both coaches agree, the 18-6 separation is permitted. Equipment. Knee pads must be at least 1/2inch thick and cover the knee. Uniforms. All players must wear socks/ leg coverings that are identical in color and design; players may wear white sweat socks. Jerseys must come to the top of the waist and cover all pads. Officials will charge a team with a timeout at the start of each quarter if illegal jerseys are worn. Towels may not contain numbers. Kicking. On place kicks, the tee must not elevate the ball more than two inches above the ground. Timekeeping. If a visual clock is available – they are not mandatory – the clock must count down from 40 and 25 seconds. A “game clock” is any device used by the appropriate official to time 48 minutes. In overtime, officials will toss the coin before both head coaches with the visiting team calling the toss. Initiating and targeting contact with the crown of the helmet. The player is disqualified for the rest of the game. Fighting. No one may leave the “team area” during a fight except for a “peacemaker” coach designated by the head coach. Such peacemakers are strongly recommended to contact only their own players in attempts to stop a fight.

Unlocking riches: How to make $12,000 per hour

t’s the kind of money that would make Christian financial guru Dave Ramsey pass out. You – yes, you! – can make: • $200 per minute • $12,000 per hour • $96,000 per day • $480,000 per week • $1.920,000 monthly • $23.040,000 annually That’s a pretty nice income; you could shout “I’m debt free!” before lunch. Heck, you could almost afford Cowboys season tickets with that kind of cash. So, what’s the key to making such big money?

She never carries the truck key because “it’s too heavy.” That sounds kinda dumb until you factor in that also on her truck key ring are two mini-flashlights and a pair of flash drives. Her key ring weighs about 12 pounds, so she didn’t have it in her current purse.

Letter to the editor Gay marriage OK highlights USA’s lost moral compass Dear Editor: Must say that the Judeo-Christian tenets which is the bedrock of our faith as a nation collectively is sure being tested with the legalization of homosexual marriage by the Supreme Court. All across America, liberal minded Americans went into an orgy of exultation with our own President Barrack Obama engaged in a bit of creative gloating of his own, by illuminating the White House in multicolored

lights signifying the so-called “gay pride flag.” Let's please be brutally honest here. That little stunt that Mr. Obama pulled with this light show was pure and simple: It was metaphorically the proverbial middle finger to Christians, social conservatives, and anyone else that has anti-homosexual feelings. Mr. Obama might want to check biblical history with his rainbow tomfoolery. It was God who gave the rainbow associated with judgment of mankind and his disobedience to GOD. Guess what Mr. Obama? There will be no political hacks on GOD’s supreme court to be your lap dogs, stooges, and jesters as you have here on this earth.

This country has lost its moral compass in so many ways now. Unfortunately, even a plurality of evangelical millennium Christians – 62 percent – see a social catharsis and they too support same sex marriage; now there's an oxymoron. The Episcopal church now gives it's blessing to same sex unions. Our men and women in the armed forces are nothing but a petri-dish for Mr. Obama’s social agenda, and The Ten Commandments by GOD in monument form is removed from Oklahoma statehouse grounds by the high courts. This nation is unrecoverable. GOD is coming soon! Joseph Bryan Fort Worth

A grandfather’s story, Part 13: A boy’s adventure

t was quite early in the spring of 1870 that Uncle Sam and Aunt ‘Em’ went to live in this cabin home, as happy as larks. Sometime later, in May or June, Father made his preparations to go down to Butler Co. “He arranged to drive a two-horse wagon, and lead a milk cow, for the use of the young couple who had preceded him. After considerable coaxing and pleading, I induced Father to allow me to accompany him on this trip. “It was an event of great import to me at that time, as I had never been away from home so far before. And then, to camp out with father, real camping out, sleeping under the stars, crossing unknown rivers, perhaps shooting deer or antelope, and most of all viewing new scenes; all these things are very attractive to a boy of fourteen. “A Mr. Will Cook went along, to

leaving Emporia, which was the western terminus of the Santa Fe railroad at that time, we passed very little evidence of civilization. There were a few settlers' HISTORICAL cabins along south fork HIGHLIGHTS the of the CottonLaurie Moseley wood, but after leaving Mercer Springs we drove across the divide towards the headwaters of the Walnut, without a soul in sight. “At Sycamore Springs, our next stopping place, we found good water and wood. We stayed all night here, and the next morning passed through Chelsea, a small frontier village, on

the Walnut River. “About noon we reached Eldorado, the county seat of Butler Co. Father had some business to attend to at this place, and I was impatient to reach Uncle Sam's as soon as possible. So I started out with the old cow, afoot and alone, saving the presence of the aforesaid cow. “About the time I had made a good start, it commenced to rain. And how it did rain. I took off my shoes and trudged along through the rain. It was twelve or fourteen miles from Eldorado to our place on the Little Walnut, and as may well be imagined, I was pretty well tired out, and thoroughly soaked, and pretty hungry, to boot, when I reached my journey's end. We had been five or six days on the trail. “Uncle and Aunt were delighted to see me and the cow. They were both good friends of mine. Uncle Sam was more like an older brother to me than

see the country, and a very interesting trip it was. The cow proved to be averse to being led, and after much trouble we decided to drive her. This job naturally fell to me. When we had traveled a day or so we fell in with a party going in the same direction. They were driving a small herd of cattle, and we joined them, which made things more sociable and pleasant. “We went by way of Burlingame and Emporia, then across the Cottonwood to a point near Bazaar. We followed the south fork of the Cottonwood to Mercer Springs. This was a fine spring and a good place to camp. “I remember of catching a big catfish in the Neosho River one night. Father knew how to dress a fish, and how to cook it, too. He was a good camp cook. “It was on this trip that I learned to drink black coffee ‘straight.’ After

an uncle. They were always very good to me, and always took a personal interest in my welfare. It was my good fortune to live with them much of the time I spent in Butler County, in the next few years, following the events I have just narrated. “To resume – I was taken in and relieved of my water soaked garments, and given some of Uncle Sam’s clothes that were a mile too big. Aunt Em filled me up with some good warm food, and I felt at peace with all the world as I toasted my shins before the fire in the big fireplace. “Father arrived not long afterward, but had little sympathy for my plight, as he had advised me to wait for him in Eldorado. That is the way with a boy – he must learn by experience.”

High court puts Texas abortion law on hold

he U.S. Supreme Court, in a 5-4 vote on June 29, granted a stay preventing revisions to the state abortion law made by the Texas Legislature in 2013 from taking effect on July 1. The stay will remain in effect while the court is on hiatus. When it reconvenes in October, the court will decide if the issues at stake in the Texas case, Whole Woman’s Health (and others) v. Cole, merit further review. Voting to deny the stay were Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Scalia, Thomas and Alito. Created by House Bill 2 in the second special session of the 83rd Texas Legislature, the law would further restrict abortion providers and complicate patient access to abortion services.

Sarah is followed by a towering Pops. The juxtaposition of height is capped when Pops tries on his painfully fake toothy smile for the camera. It’s a scene that seems like it came from outer space – a rare laugh-out-loud sequence from left field.

Big rains: Big skeeters Second suspect ﬁlmed How to fight off those suckers who bear troublesome diseases for man and beast

More trouble brewing? There are 200 different kinds of mosquitoes in America. We are most likely around here to see the Asian tiger mosquito – one of the species that is not shy about attacking in the daytime. Right now, West Nile is the major concern for U.S. Health offi cials. However, “on the radar of U.S. and state health offi cials” is chikungunya – another mosquito-borne disease. That virus is brought here by travelers; while no mosquitoto-human cycle has been seen in Texas, offi cials are keeping a wary eye out.

BY NATALIE GENTRY The Parker County Sheriff’s offi ce has released a photo of the second suspect in a series of vehicle burglaries June 24-25. Last week, a female suspect’s image was broadcast. Now comes an image of a male described as being in his late teens to mid-20s, with short dark hair, wearing blue jeans and T-shirt with a slender or slim build. Earlier, the female was described as white, being in her late teens to mid-20s, wearing a tank top, and having dark blond or light brown hair with a medium to muscular build. Investigators are still seeking the public’s help in identifying the suspects. According to Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler, the suspects entered seven vehicles and took personal items belonging to the owners. Among the stolen items were credit cards, athletic equipment, vehicle registration paper work, clothing, watches, back packs, makeup, cell phone charger, a lock box, binoculars, iPads, purses, keys, fl ashlights, glasses, a wallet, and currency with a total value of more than $3,500. Investigators said that all seven vehicles were reportedly left unlocked and that some of the stolen items were later recovered in nearby bushes. Anyone with information pertaining to either suspect is encouraged to contact the Parker County Sheriff’s Offi ce at 817-594-8845, or the Parker County Crime Stopper Hotline at 817-599-5555.

Quadruple Ds Entomologists refer to “the four Ds” when it comes to managing mosquitoes: Dusk/Dawn – While some are daytime feeders, dusk and

dawn are when the insects usually seek out a blood meal, early in the morning or just before the sun goes down. Drain – All standing water should be emptied completely, places like buckets, kiddie pools, dog bowls, and tires. Dress – Plain colors and long sleeves and pants help in avoidance. Do not wear excessive amount of perfume or aftershave. Defend – Wear insect repellent, especially one with DEET, “the gold standard” for protection. Another option: oil of lemon eucalyptus. Other ways to cut down mosquito populations is to mow high grass and weeds that wipe out insect hiding/resting places. Some insecticides can take down adults; they should be used in shady areas where the bugs are immobile. Using an oil-based insecticide or “mosquito dunk” can be effective, but the poisons can also kill beneficial insects.

We’re under attack Right now, fi ve Texas counties have West Nile activity, according to Texas Department of State Health Services – two on the coast and three right here: Tarrant, Dallas, and Kaufman. Mosquitoes are drawn to humans because of our carbon dioxide and scent. They will seek out birds and wildlife to drink from, too. Dr. Sonja Swiger, a livestock/ veterinary entomologist in Stephenville, said, “Mosquitoes can also be vectors for dog heartworm.” Infected mosquitoes can pass tiny heartworm parasites to uninfected dogs. The parasites can cause permanent damage to a dog’s heart, lungs, and arteries. The worms can be as long as 11 inches and a canine could have as many as 20 in its body. Mosquitoes can also give horses several encephalitis diseases – including West Nile – so all horses should be vaccinated annually, Swiger noted.

Two bloodsuckers The key to controlling the insects is to understand the critter’s life-cycle, Swiger noted. She said mosquitoes can be divided into two types – based on where eggs are laid. Floodwater mosquitoes will lay eggs on the ground in low spots. When rain arrives, the eggs hatch. So, with our recent inundation of precipitation, they are prevalent. Floodwater mosquitoes are “good fl iers and can travel miles from their breeding sites,” Swiger said. She added that the only way to avoid these bugs is to either wear repellent or just stay indoors. The other kind of mosquito is categorized as a “permanent water” bug. Both types’ eggs can be laid individually or in “rafts.” They hatch quickly, in just one or two days. Larvae are next, living just under standing water, hanging down from the surface. This lasts 1 to 3 weeks Pupa is the transition state between larvae and adult. It takes about 10 to 14 days for adults to arrive. During the day, full-grown female mosquitoes tend to rest in shade or in vegetation.

BY MARK K. CAMPBELL Our recent record-setting rains have left a lot of standing water around – nirvana for mosquitoes. In fact, the number of bloodsuckers is “booming,” according to Dr. Mike Merchant, an urban entomologist in Dallas. That’s bad news for humans and other species. And the insect numbers will not be decreasing any time soon. Some carry troublesome diseases. Merchant said, “Not all of the mosquitoes swarming us right now are likely to carry disease, but West Nile virus-infected mosquitoes are beginning to show up in traps.” That happened in May. That’s when Azle again became part of the Mosquito Surveillance and Response Program with Tarrant County and other local cities. Currently, no mosquito spraying is planned for Azle.

Easy and budget-friendly ways to add curb appeal Curb appeal can help a home get noticed in a bustling real es tate market. Curb appeal also can contribute to the aesthetics of a neighborhood for residents who plan to stay put, and many homeowners feel an attractive exterior is just as important as a comfortable interior. Homeowners do not have to spend a fortune to improve the curb appeal of their homes. With these strategies, anyone’s home can take on a more appealing look. Clean up A messy, untamed front yard can detract from a perfectly ac ceptable home. Cleaning up your yard and home’s exterior is one of the easiest and most cost-effective ways to give the place a makeover. Cut back overgrown shrubs, plants and trees. Make sure the front door is clearly visible and that any walkways are edged and accessible. Store garbage pails behind a barrier and keep trash out of sight. Store children’s toys in the backyard rather than strewn across the front lawn. These simple steps can im prove curb appeal instantly.

Dress to impress The entryway to a home is the first thing visitors will see. Be sure the front door and entryway are in good repair. A pop of color can’t hurt, either. If you do not like the idea of painting the door a vivid hue, dress it up with a colorful wreath or another decorative accent. Carry your interior design style to the outdoors as well. Welcoming accents, such as cushioned chairs or potted plants, also add curb appeal. Consider painting house numbers on a terracotta pot and filling it with plants. The pot will be decorative and functional. Rely on symmetry Symmetry is pleasing to the eye and easy to arrange. Use it to frame your entryway and throughout your property. Symmetrical use of lighting fixtures, plants, trees, and decorative items really can have an impact.

Don’t forget lighting Outdoor lighting adds appeal and safety to a property. Use lighting to accent a special landscaping feature or to illuminate a Spruce up the lawn walkway.
