Food pantry beefs up security after illegal dumping

BY NATALIE GENTRY Gladys Lackey, executive director at Neighbor to Neighbors Food Bank (N2N) in Springtown has had enough of the illegal dumping that has plagued the food pantry in the past.

“I’m having a new security system installed at the pantry so that the grounds can be monitored 24 hours a day,” Lackey said.

“We want to make sure that citations are issued to the people who are dumping their garbage here.”

N2N will gladly accept clothes and shoes in addition to food and monetary donations; however limited storage space doesn't allow N2N to accept large items.

In addition, Texas Health and Safety regulations state that it is illegal to dump trash in the N2N dumpsters.

These regulations also prohibit food and clothing banks from accepting Neighbor to Neighbors Executive Director Gladys Lackey arrived at the food bank Saturday July 18 to bedding such as mattresses and pillows. find garbage and items not acceptable by the food pantry illegally left on the site.

The latest dump – left on Friday and Saturday July 17 and 18 – included mattresses, old TVs, paint, used oil, and actual garbage.

“Some of it was just plain gross,” Lackey said. “The garbage fi lled our 14-foot box truck to overfl owing plus one of the large dumpsters.”

Lackey also said that the pantry had to spend approximately $150 to take everything to the dump.

“We had to pay extra for the hazardous materials, the TVs, and the mattresses,” she said. “This cost takes away from the food we provide families during the summer.”

She explained that the summer is a particularly diffi cult time to have to divert funds because monetary donations are down and families are feeding their children three times a day since school is out.

For more information about items that are accepted at N2N call 817-5236095.

Harmses enshrined in Pork Hall of Fame

Now that’s backup

BY MARK K. CAMPBELL Melton and Mary Harms were enshrined in the Texas Pork Hall of Fame July 11.

The couple, and a slew of relatives, accepted the award in Kerrville at the Texas Pork Producers Association's banquet.

From dairy to hogs Melton was raised on a dairy farm. With Mary, he returned to that farm in 1969.

Duroc hogs were purchased in 1970 and the dairy retired in 1987.

With the hogs, the Harmses added Beefmaster cattle while also farming.

Melton got involved with the TPPA in a number of ways.

He served as chairman of the swine health committee and as an advisor to the Texas Animal Health Commission during crucial movements in the field.

Melton worked on a public policy committee that had him visiting state and national capitols to lobby and protect pork interests.

Part of his work focused on regulating waste food feeding and the eradication of pseudo-rabies in Texas.

Melton held a variety of offi ces including serving on the TPPA board of directors for 20 years and as president of the North Texas Pork Producers.

He served as a council member on the National Pork Producers Council and was a national delegate.

In 1983, Melton was named a Texas Pork All-American.

He bred Duroc champions and reserve champions in livestock shows, including a World Pork Expo Reserve Grand Champion and a Southwestern National Duroc Congress Champion Boar.

Melton also had a hog crowned National Swine Registry Fall Classic Champion Berkshire Boar.

Ever-present Mary With Melton along the way was wife Mary.

She served on the TPPA Fun Committee where she was instrumental in helping raise funds for scholarships.

Mary was also active in legislative activities.

She has a history of working all around Springtown; currently she is the Chamber of Commerce vice-president and on the Neighbor to Neighbors Food Bank board.

Mary also has earned accolades from the Parker County Livestock Association.

The duo was lauded for being “pillars of the community” and for delivering “unselfi sh and constructive contributions to agriculture and 4-H/FFA.” The Harmses were praised for 27 years in the Texas Swine industry and their plaque was erected permanently in the Kleberg Animal Science Building on the Texas A&M campus in College Station.

That plaque reads: “Effective and invaluable community leaders, kind heart-

A trio of agencies answer SPD request for assistance

Mary and Melton Harms were inducted into the Texas Pork Producers Association's Hall of Fame in Kerrville July 11. ed and dependable individuals who are devoted towards civic service, Melton and Mary have been passionate agriculturalists and ardent advocates of livestock production and farming as a noble and satisfying way of life.”

BY NATALIE GENTRY Calls have come in to the offi ce wondering why units from multiple law enforcement agencies were gathered in the Brookshire’s parking lot on the evening of Monday, July 20.

According to Lt. Curtis Stone of the Springtown Police department, an SPD offi cer stopped a vehicle for a traffic violation.

When the occupants became argumentative and uncooperative the offi cer requested that dispatch notify another agency to request an assist unit for officer safety.

Unsure who could make scene the fastest, the dispatcher contacted three agencies – Wise County Sheriff’s Offi ce, Parker County Sheriff’s Offi ce, and the Azle Police Department – for assistance.

All three agencies were able to send a responding unit.

Both driver and passenger were arrested for misdemeanor offenses.

Minecrafting SISD teacher attends geology workshop

BY NATALIE GENTRY Springtown Intermediate science teacher Wendy Kennedy joined other teachers from across the state in a week-long workshop to learn about the mining industry July 13-17.

The workshop – hosted by the Texas Mining and Reclamation Association (TMRA) – was held at Texas Westmoreland’s Jewett Mine and featured tours of mining facilities and a power plant.

The teachers also participated in labs with the objective of returning to the classroom equipped with real-world problem solving activities, such as designing a lignite mine, reclaiming land or restoring water.

The workshops offer educators science-based information, which enables them to bet-

ter educate students about the availability, development, uses and importance of Texas’ natural resources.

In addition to the economic impact mining provides to the state, it is also essential to the production of the goods, services and the infrastructure.

Since its inception in 1991, an estimated 1,500 teachers and one million students have been exposed to Texas mining through the TMRA Teacher Workshop Program, which offers workshops on the industrial minerals, lignite and uranium mining industries.

Garden of Hope a peach of a charity for the hungry

BY MARK K. CAMPBELL While the recent record breaking rainfall has hampered contributions, the Garden of Hope still plans on sending hundreds of pounds of vegetables and fruits to local charities.

Frank Swehosky, president of the executive board of the garden, said the garden bloomed when Hope Lutheran Church at 4795 East Hwy. 199 focused on a way to better serve the community.

Noting that the church had ample terrain surrounding it, an idea to start a community garden was explored.

But cash was a problem.

“We needed money to start the small stuff; we had land but

no money,” Swehosky said.

Despite that, things began to come together.

He got wind that Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle had some grant money for just such a project.

So, Swehosky wrote a proposal and got some money.

Naturally, gardens need good dirt and they had none.

But, again, someone stepped up by donating over 60 yards of dirt as well as 76 tons of crushed rock for walkways.

Irrigation systems were installed – also free– and the city of Reno donated water; suddenly, the garden was in service.

So far, the Garden of Hope has provided over 7,000 pounds

Karl Klement Ford’s Frank Swehosky, Garden of Hope president of the executive board, said rains have slowed the bounty of the garden this year.

A 33-year-old Azle woman has been arrested and charged with the sexual assault of a child.

Ashley Adams Whited was arrested July 9 on an Azle Police Department warrant after an investigation found evidence of the sexual assault.

According to Azle PD detective Sgt. Kevin Rogers, Whited was allegedly involved

in a sexual relationship with a 15-year-old boy that apparently began in November 2014 and continued until the situation was reported to police in June.

Child Protective Services is also investigating the situation, Rogers said.

Whited posted $7,500 bond to ensure she appears to face the second-degree felony charge and was released from the Azle jail July 10.

Texas sales tax holiday Aug. 7-9 a strain on family budgets this time of year,” Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar said. “This is an opportunity for families to save some money and prepare for the start of the school year.”

Lists of apparel and school supplies that may be purchased tax-free can be found on the Comptroller's website at TexasTaxHoliday.org.

This year, shoppers will save an estimated $87 million in state and local sales taxes during the sales tax holiday.

Not too chicken to rage against popular opinion

T

hey seemed like the kind of places I’d like – not hoity-toity restaurants but good, ol’, rib stickin’ cookin’ joints.

They both got plenty of chances, yet return visits to a couple of popular restaurants once again raised a mystery: Why are they so popular?

First: How in the world is Babe’s Chicken Dinner House so beloved?

I’ve eaten there and had it catered.

Every time, people salivated, longingly awaiting for its arrival.

It finally comes and ...meh.

This most recent outing was completely forgettable. I’d had the fried chicken enough to make me switch over to the smoke yard bird.

Pieces came out heaped in a plate

where everyone gets three pieces each.

They were incredibly salty – which is actually okay with me.

But the pieces! The thigh could’ve been used for a Frisbee it was so flat.

A thigh!

And the “wing” was so deformed that I think it might’ve been a breaded ninja throwing star; it would’ve been more edible if it were.

The mashed potatoes were good as usual. But a salad that comes predrenched with some icky dressing and rolls that appeared to be just waved in the vicinity of the oven before being delivered near-raw were not edible.

And what they do to corn is a crime against nature – cream and regular corn should never merge. It’s like making a pickup out of Chevy and Ford parts; it needs to be one or the

other.

(Now, admittedly I have quite the discerning palate – aka “you’re too finicky” – as the Bride will tell you. But Babe’s never out for ON YOUR works me and what’s MARK more basic then chicken, Mark K. Campbell smashed potatoes, and biscuits?)

It ain’t cheap there, but all the mounted paraphenelia has to be paid for somehow.

Our group staggered out with a $100 tab and we had brought our own dessert. I’m sure Babe’s is an upstanding business that loves Jesus and supports charities, but I ain’t going back for a while.

The second eatery that mystifies me when it comes to its popularity is Fuzzy’s Taco Shop.

Fish tacos sound like the greatest idea ever. The Bride makes them at home, stuffed with wonderfully spiced snapper or talapia.

The first time I bought a fish taco at Fuzzy’s, I literally thought there was an error with my order – that they had forgotten to put the fish in the taco.

I took it back. But they assured me there was yummy fish way down on the bottom, between the chunks of cheese and cabbage. I ate it but never

felt I actually got a bite of fish. Perhaps I was eating fish-flavored feta.

I’ve also tried other offerings at Fuzzy’s. And I’ve never had anything that I pondered all day, salivating at the chance to rush off to get it for lunch or supper.

Of course, it’s easy to complain. So I’ll finish with a tale about a scruptious eating outing – liver at Luby’s Cafeteria. (Yes, there are still some Luby’s around, and, yes, I get the irony that I’m a finicky eater and enjoy liver [but not the onions].) It was fantastic and so were the butter beans.

So, to review – chicken: no; fish tacos, no; liver, yes.

Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and is pretty sure Babe’s and Fuzzy’s won’t be advertising with us in the near future.

Letter to the editor Truth of Civil War being kept from Texas students Dear Editor, In light of the recent massacre of black churchgoers by a white supremacist man in Charleston, South Carolina, the subject of the Civil War has been a topic of discussion again as it has been many times since that war ended.

In 2010, the Texas State Board of Education Republican members – nine of them – outvoted the five Democratic members, to approve changes to ex-

clude information on Jim Crow laws perpetuating slavery, and to exclude any mention of the Ku Klux Klan.

(At this time, a TEA review indicates that some publishers on the approved textbook list are still including those subjects, thank goodness.)

One current SBOE member claims that the Civil War was about states’ rights. Historians say the only “right” the Southern states fought for was slavery.

SMU historian Edward Countryman concluded that calling the Civil War a conflict over states’ rights is a revision of history which Confederate leaders began pushing after the war.

Caleb McDaniel, history profes-

sor at Rice University, contends that for the SBOE to push states’ rights as the cause of the Civil War instead of slavery is to oversimplify the facts.

He emphasizes the necessity and relevance that “we get history right.”

Though slavery wasn’t the only reason for the war that took over 600,000 lives, it certainly was the most important reason.

The school children of Texas deserve to know all the facts about the Civil War. (Information for this letter came from the Fort Worth Star-Telegram.)

A grandfather’s story, Part 15: Cold and oxen woes

A

fter a thorough trial of the oxen, it was decided that they would not do for breaking the prairie.

It was then decided to take them to Topeka and fatten them for slaughter. Had we taken them out and ‘executed’ them and sold their hides, we would have been better off financially, to say nothing about the profanity super-induced by dealing with the ‘critters.’

“Frank and I were delegated to drive them through to Topeka. It was that cold January of 1871. We hitched the three yoke to a big wagon, with a canvas cover, in which we were to sleep during our trip. We were poorly equipped for such a trip. We did not have sufficient bedding, and my recollection is that in the eight days journey I was never comfortably warm, night or day.

“One incident of this trip I remem-

the pony, and leveled it at him, fully determining that if he laid his hand on the pony’s halter I would fire. The man walked up very close to the pony and HISTORICAL regarded it for time, HIGHLIGHTS some then suddenly Laurie Moseley turned around and walked away through the bushes, and disappeared.

“I was very thankful to have the tension relieved in this manner. I think the man intended to steal the animal, but changed his mind, for some reason, possibly he did not consider the pony good enough to steal. Brother

Frank suggested that he may have been looking for a lost horse, and when he found the horse was not his own, preferred to withdraw without making his presence known. But it did not look reasonable to me that a man would visit our camp in the way he did for an honest purpose.

“One can hardly imagine how very slow those oxen moved. And to us who were counting the milestones, it seemed as if they scarcely moved at all. The old home never looked quite so inviting as it did to me after that eight day struggle against storms, snows, cold, and slow oxen. We sat down to our first square meal eaten for more than a week with thanksgiving and a good appetite.

“In after years, I made many trips to Butler County, but all of them were made in a much more comfortable manner. I think we succeeded in getting one or two of those long horns fat enough ‘to kill,’ but my best recollec-

ber very distinctly. The first night out was a bitter cold night. We went into camp in a lonely place, near a small stream, a tributary of the Walnut, five or six miles from Chelsea. We ate our cheerless meal, by a struggling campfire, which gave out little warmth. We had a pony, hitched to a small tree, about thirty feet from the wagon.

“We went to bed, but I did not sleep very soundly, suddenly I heard a noise, like a footfall. I raised the lower edge of the canvas cover, and peered out. The moon was shining brightly, and I saw a man standing perfectly still, near our pony. The only weapon we had was an old six-shooter, “navy” revolver. This lay near at hand, and I reached for it.

“I concluded that the man was a horse thief and that he was after our pony. I thought it best not to awaken Frank, as he might make some noise that would give the man warning. I cocked the revolver, as the man stepped nearer

tion is that most of them died of old age or ‘general debility,’ absolutely refusing to get fat. I think Uncle William Owen held the opinion that father did not pursue the proper method of feeding them. Father either sold them to him for a song or gave them to him out right.

“The next winter I went to school at Rochester, and worked for my board at Uncle Owens. One of the pleasing recollections of that winter is going out in the morning before breakfast, and helping the entire family lift one of these oxen to his feet. He ate astounding quantities of feed of all kinds, but it seemed not to nourish him. At any rate, we continued to rise in the morning early, and lift ‘Old Paddy,’ and the other one, until death intervened.”

Gov.’s order enhances readiness on military bases

G

ov. Greg Abbott on July 18 authorized Adjutant General John Nichols of the Texas National Guard to arm personnel at military facilities across Texas.

Abbott’s action comes following the July 16 shooting on two military facilities in Chattanooga, Tenn., that resulted in the deaths of four U.S. Marines and one U.S. Navy sailor. A suspect was killed at the scene.

An investigation is in progress.

“It is with a heavy heart that I issue this order,” Abbott said.

“After the recent shooting in Chattanooga, it has become clear that our military personnel must have the ability to defend themselves against these type of attacks on our own soil.

“Arming the National Guard at these bases will not only serve as a deterrent to anyone wishing to do harm to our service men and women, but will enable them to protect those living and working on the base.”

Texas Army National Guard, Texas Air National Guard and Texas State Guard, referred to

collectively as the Texas National Guard, are administered by the adjutant general.

Senator urges recapture State Sen. Carlos Uresti, DSan Antonio, on July 13 posted a statement regarding the recent escape and disappearance of drug kingpin Joaquin “El Chapo” Guzman from a federal prison in Mexico.

“As a senator who represents over a third of the Texas-Mexico border, I’d like to propose that if Mexico needs help keeping him behind bars once he is found, I know just the place: Texas,” Uresti said.

“I fi nd it incomprehensible that he was able to escape from a maximum-security prison. I urge Mexico to pursue and hold responsible those who aided in the escape and move swiftly to bring El Chapo back into custody.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Monuments and flags part of our history To the Editor: Let me just start by saying this one truth: The Confederate fl ag that is the center of such controversy may represent slavery to some who don't know history, but that was a battle flag.

The actual fl ag of the Confederate States of America is rarely seen except in museums.

The saying that “if we don't learn history we are doomed to repeat it” may be worn out by now, but it is the truth that some Americans simply don’t know history and especially Southern history.

What concerns me, as a historian, is the vandalizing of Confederate monuments. Robert E. Lee and other leaders in the Confederacy were fi ne Americans. Their ancestors were some of the early settlers in the Colonies and fought in

the Revolutionary War. That we’ve not seen in a very long war was fought for much the time.

What to do about Measles Infection Measles is a viral infection that afflicts many children. Vaccination programs against measles have helped reduce the total number of measles cases in the United States, but measles continues to affect children around the world. Signs and symptoms usually start ten days after a child is exposed to the virus. Symptoms may include fever, dry cough, sore throat, runny nose, and inflammation of the eyes. Then a large skin rash usually appears on the face. It gradually it appears on the arms, trunk, and legs.

As the rash starts to go away, this period of time is when the virus can spread to others.

There is no treatment at this time to cure measles, but there are certain products that can be taken to help reduce the severity of a current measles infection. Measles vaccinations can be administered up to three days of virus exposure to help lessen the symptoms. An injection of proteins called immunoglobulin can help the body fight infection in certain people with weak immune systems. Over the counter medications such as ibuprofen (Advil) or acetaminophen (Tylenol) can help reduce a high fever. Children with low levels of vitamin A have a higher chance of becoming infected with measles. In such children a high dose of vitamin A may be recommended and administered by a healthcare professional.

Movie Man

Thursday, July 23, 2015 Springtown Epigraph

Ant-Man tunnels its way into Marvel pantheon Marvel Comics has mined its catalogue for its most popular heroes: Spider-Man, Fantastic Four, The Incredible Hulk, XMen, and the Avengers all have made a ton of cash. (It looks like the upcoming FF is going to be much better than its predecessors.)

Iron Man (2008, Movie Man No. 771, an 8, Best of Year) – still the top Marvel movie for the Movie Man – was a second tier character, much like this week’s Ant-Man.

how to protect Bucky (“the Winter Soldier,” Sabatien Stan).

About the film (spoiler) Comic nerds know that AntMan was actually an original Avenger. And it was super scientist Hank Pym (Michael Douglas) – the original AntMan – who created Ultron, the villain in the current Avengers’ hit, not Tony Stark. But, of course, external sources and their movies seldom match.

DC Comics is making a big push to catch up with Marvel on the big screen. Like Marvel, DC is lining up a series of movies that will cross over and occasionally merge.

Marvel’s “phases” are well publicized. DC is betting the ranch on Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice. With its wizened, older Batman (Ben Affl eck) and younger Superman (Henry Cavill returning from Man of Steel [2013, MM #1040, 7]), plus an appearance by the new Wonder Woman (Gal Godot), the Flash (Ezra Miller), and even Aquaman (Jason Momoa), it’s clear DC is heading toward its own Avengers – The Justice League of America.

The fi rstJustice League is set for Nov. 17, 2017 and Part 2 arrives June 14, 2019.

FYI: Thre are two stingers in Ant-Man. The fi rst is Dr. Pym’s daughter Hope (Evangeline Lily) fi nally getting a chance to be the new Wasp. (The original, Pym’s wife, went missing years ago saving the world.)

The second stinger requires a memory jolt and is more of a bona fi de set-up for another Marvel movie. The Falcon (Anthony Mackie) and Captain America (Chris Evans) discuss

The plot Scott Lang (Paul Rudd) is a genius cat burglar whose imprisonment cost him time with his young daughter. Out of the slammer, he tries to go straight.

But, no one will hire an ex-con, so he agrees with his low-rent criminal pals to break into a rich man’s safe.

That wealthy guy is Dr. Hank Pym who is at odds with former protégé Cross (Corey Stoll) who is on the verge of recreating the “Pym particle” that allows humans to shrink thereby becoming formidable weapons, potentially.

Pym’s daughter Hope is undercover as Cross’ right hand woman and there to help her dad stop Cross. But Pym needs a way to enter the super high tech security of Cross’ lab.

So Pym trains Rudd – much to the disdain of Hope who wants to be the infi ltrator wearing Pym’s super suit that allows him to not only shrink and return to human form in the blink of an eye but gives the wearer dominion over ants.

The master plan created by the good guys eventually needs some more help and Lang’s old goofy gang is recruited. In the end, Lang as Ant-Man and Cross as Yellowjacket – the name for his super suit – fi ght to keep Cross from selling the

The Movie Man was hoping there would be more laughs.

Hale headed for the Hall

Former Azle coach picked for Texas Hall of Honor

BY MARK K. CAMPBELL A basketball life is about to be honored.

Robert Hale, who directed the Azle boys team to its highest heights ever, is being inducted into the Texas High School Coaches Association Hall of Honor.

He traveled to Houston July 22 – where many of his former players and coaches joined him – to take his place with four other honorees.

In his storied 42-year high school career, Hale posted a record of 753-379 with three state tournament visits and one victory.

Plus there was that remarkable Azle season...

Over the next two years, Burleson would play 21 games where the fi nal possession could win or lose a game; the Elks won 19 of those.

Dos and don’ts of kitchen remodels According to Remodeling magazine’s “2014 Cost vs. Value Report,” a major kitchen remodeling project should enable homeowners to recoup 74.2 percent of their initial investments.

Kitchen renovations have long been a safe way to improve the functionality and value of a home. But not every kitchen project is a guaranteed winner. Homeowners may inadvertently make changes that end up sticking out like a sore thumb rather than improving the space. Take a look at these kitchen remodeling dos and don’ts to guide your next undertaking.

DO consider the way your kitchen will look with the rest of the home.

Keep architectural integrity in mind when designing the space. A farmhouse sink and country cabinets can look out of place in an ultramodern home.

DON’T overlook the importance of a seasoned designer or architect. These pros will know the tricks to maximizing space and achieving the ideal layout of appliances and may be able to recommend local contractors and vendors.

DO look beyond surface details to the structural integrity of the design.

The kitchen should be functional, longlasting and beautiful.

DON’T design just for today, but look to the future as well. Unless you are willing to spend $50,000 every five years, look for styles and materi-

als that will last for the long haul. Older homeowners may want to make adjustments now that address potential mobility issues down the road.

DO work with what you have. A complete demolition and renovation is not always necessary to achieve the desired results. Only invest in major changes if something is not working (such as having to walk across the entire kitchen to access the stove) or is unsafe. Otherwise, minor upgrades may do the trick.

DON’T overimprove the space.

A fully equipped commercial kitchen may be handy for a professional chef, but the average person may not need an industrial hood and indoor pizza oven. When you make excessive improvements, you may not be able to recoup as much of the money spent because your home will not be on par with the values of homes in the neighborhood.

DO make sure you can afford the project. Plan for some unexpected purchases and plan out the renovation according to your budget. Skimping on materials or design because of lack of money may leave you feeling dissatisfied afterward.
