Springtown man accused of felony toddler abuse

BY NATALIE GENTRY Matthew Ryan Bagwell, 24, of Springtown, was arrested by Parker County Sheriff’s deputies Friday, July 29 for a third-degree felony charge of injury to a child with intentional bodily injury.

Bagwell is accused of hitting a 2-year-old girl who was in his care on the neck as well as pushing her to the fl oor and rubbing her face in her own vomit.

According to the probable cause affi davit submitted by Parker County Sheriff’s Investigator Josh Pittman, Bagwell was caring for the toddler on July 9 while her mother went to work.

Bagwell told Pittman that in addition to crying for her mother, the child was sick at her stomach and threw up on the carpet in the living room.

According to the affi davit, Bagwell said he later took the girl to the bathroom intending to bathe her.

However the child continued to cry for her mother so he admitted to hitting the toddler on the neck in order to calm her down.

When the child’s father picked her up July 13 he noticed an abrasion on You know you live in a quaint, small town when a farmer in old school tractor sidles up next to high her face and bruises on her cheek and dollar pickup trucks and heads inside for a hearty breakfast.

No Rain Means Big Work Getting Done at Walnut Creek

One benefit from the once-frequent rains exiting is that work on the widening of Walnut Creek at Farm Road 51 and State Highway 199 can continue unabated. With the hottest weather in three years coming in the next week – everyday rain-free – even more ground can be made on the project.

Online registration Recognizing that many parents of students previously enrolled in the district won’t need additional assistance with registration, the district recently began offering opportunities to register for school online.

“Available only to returning students, the digital registration process allows parents to review and, if necessary, update important information about their children without actually having to report to a campus,” Kelley said. “We endured some pretty significant software problems in the first year of the program, but after changing vendors and streamlining portions of the process, the most

recent generation of online registration has been relatively smooth.”

Teacher preparations Teachers new to the District will begin their year Aug. 13, two work-days prior to the arrival of the entire staff.

“Employees will be provided breakfast in the high school cafeteria at 8 a.m. Aug. 17, and SISD’s convocation will begin at 8:45 a.m. in the auditorium.”

Kelley said. “Prior to the superintendent’s ‘State of the District’ address, this year’s ceremony will include an opportunity to award service pins to staff members beginning a year of service ending in 5 or 0.”

City’s wastewater plant flowing right along Earlier issues completely resolved

BY NATALIE GENTRY The new Springtown wastewater treatment plant has come a long way since it opened last spring.

City Administrator Doug Hughes addressed progress the facility has made in the last six months in order to resolve a Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ) administrative order imposed on the plant.

“One of the requirements that had given us the most trouble was turbidity,” Hughes said.

According to the United States Geological Survey (USGS), turbidity is “the measure of relative clarity of a liquid.”

In layman’s terms, turbidity makes water cloudy or opaque.

“In December the turbidity at the plant was really high,” Hughes continued. “A lot of it was caused by unfamiliarity with the new plant, mechanical breakdowns, and an initial design flaw in the design of a filter brace.”

Those issues have since been resolved, and according to Hughes, that can be attributed to city employee Ron Lang.

Lang began working at the wastewater treatment plant in mid-January and just recently earned his license as a waste-

Springtown’s wastewater treatment plant operator Ron Lang attributes recent advances at the plant to the help he has received from multiple sources. Right now, Springtown’s plant is now used as a reference facility for new plants.

He was recognized as Employee of the Year at the Springtown Chamber of Commerce banquet earlier this year.

“Ron Lang has worked diligently for the last six months,” Hughes said. “He took ownership of that plant out there and

any time the numbers didn’t look right, he took it personally.”

According to Hughes, Lang’s dedication is how the plant has made such a turn- around in a six-month period. “[Lang] has tested and tried until he made things right,” Springtown Public Works

Director Melvin Webb said.

“Right now the turbidity in the water that is going into the creek is so little it’s a non-contaminant.

“It’s so small they can’t even give it a number.”

According to Lang, the engineers told him that now that everything has been worked

out, they use the Springtown facility as a reference for new plants.

Lang laughed a little when he heard the praise aimed his way.

“I’ve had help out here,” Lang said. “Dan Frierson has been out here helping think everything through early on.

“Even today, if there is some-

thing I need help with, he is the man I call.”

While the city still needs a couple more months of appropriate inflow amounts to resolve the TCEQ administrative order because of the May and June flooding, all other requirements of the order have been met.

This notice concerns 2015 property tax rates for the City of Springtown. It presents information about three tax rates. Last year’s tax rate is the actual rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year.

of its future and direct the upcoming growth.

The Metroplex is headed north of Denton and into Kaufman, Wise, and Parker counties, she said.

Getting started Mundo said the first six to nine months will focus on gathering basics about Springtown and the surrounding area.

She noted the importance of a “strategic plan” with an additional mission statement.

About the latter, she said it should be worded in such a way as to be regarded as an “elevator statement,” one that can be clearly communicated in 30 seconds.

Mundo said she will build an economic profile of Springtown that will illustrate its potential.

That profile will include an aerial survey and “site inventories.”

She said a key part of creating a master economic plan is reaching out to the public.

Mundo said she hopes to have an information booth at the Wild West Festival Sept. 19 and that she plans to interview “community leaders.”

Mundo added that citizen input was essential and that a survey of locals’ hopes and needs would be taken.

All of the gathered information will be made available to the public, she said.

grow as well as an “attractive” labor force that has “machine working skills – often found in rural environments.”

She said that’s part of helping set economic goals for the town.

Mundo noted several ways to entice interest: • investigate outside investments • encourage in-town investments, i.e., family businesses • look for ways local government can help • utilize the Tarrant Small Business Development Center, a federal agency in Fort Worth To encourage businesses to come to Springtown, Mundo said sometimes impact fees must be dropped.

“If businesses are not coming here, they will tell you why they aren’t here,” she said.

Mundo’s credentials “I move dirt.”

Mundo said that as a city planner she endeavors to move dirt, to get building going.

First come plans and projections, she said, adding that she has succeeded in towns like Gun Barrel City, Rockwall, and Navasota.

Her husband and son are civil engineers who also vicepresidents of Mundo and Associates; they are an effective combination, she said.

It will take a while to get the plan going – “a year or two.”

Paving the way

BY NATALIE GENTRY The City of Springtown has begun working to survey, repair, and maintain an easement in front of the Springtown Post Office.

According to Mayor Tom

“Right now we are still working on the initial paperwork for that project,” City Administra -

tor Doug Hughes said.

“In two or three weeks we will have a surveyor go out and survey approximately 24 feet from the post office curb so we can get everything returned to Mr. Klement for approval and

then have the city attorney draft the official paperwork.”

The easement will run the entire length of the thoroughfare from Highway 199 to Bonnie Bell Lane and will be maintained by the city.

Growing up in Springtown has been one of the most rewarding things that has happened to me and my family.”

That’s how The Lube Center’s owner Brandon Conway feels. Moving here from Rendon, Conway was just nine years old in 1985 when his family settled in Springtown.

“I have met and become friends with so many people that are a vital part of my business and personal life. We will continue to be a business that gives its customers a great product at a fair price,” he said.

The Lube Center – boasting a newly remodeled lobby – offers a wide variety of services aside from oil changes; the pros there not only check all fluids but, in addition: air and fuel filters; wiper blades; injectors; and they flush transmissions, radiators, and gear boxes.

Diesel pickups are serviced at The Lube Center and you can get any vehicle inspected there as well. No appointment is ever needed: “Our quickness is only second to customer service.” Conway

said. Customer service is the core of his business practices, Conway noted.

Manager Joe Coyle has been at the company since Conway purchased the business in 2004. Joe’s the man to ask for any sort of service needed. Aaron Nelson and Jody Alexander are lubrication specialists with years of experience. Tony Fox, has been an exceptional addition to the Lube’s “team of techs,” Conway said.

Rick Weaver is manager at the Justin location, the Finish Line Lube and Wash.

“All of The Lube Center’s staff knows how a customer should be treated and what it takes to keep their vehicles in the best running condition, getting them the most efficient mileage possible, especially in these times of high fuel prices,” Conway said. Like: Customers get a punch card for a free tenth oil change.

Putting a ring on it – 40 years apart

Desert: ‘It’s a dry heat’

Y

T

his seemed like a really good idea at the time.

In the spring of 1975, I had an elaborate (for me) scheme to impress my impossibly lovely next door neighbor who was now visiting me at UT-Austin from Southwest Texas State in San Marcos.

We had bought tickets to a Chicago concert together earlier; they were $5 each and we walked to a neighborhood drug store – in an old house! – where a ON YOUR lady moMARK seyed over from a Mark K. Campbell counter to a small booth, opened the window, and we picked out seats off the venue chart. (After any purchase, those seats were X’d out with a pencil.)

So we had tickets to a great group, one that was “rock ‘n’ roll with horns.”

My master plan was to give her a memento when Chicago played “Colour My World.”

The concert arrived and progressed.

In my pocket, wrapped in a tissue, was what I had spent my last $5 on, a “jade” ring. I had no idea if the green circle was really jade, but I had saved a couple of $2.50 checks from my mother (“Don’t tell your dad”) to buy it.

A white-tuxed Terry Kath arrived on the stage and walked up to a white grand piano. The unmistakable piano beginning of “Colour My World” started and I fished that wrapped ring out of my pocket and pressed it into her hand.

Home run! That worked out as wonderfully as I had hoped, even in my teenage hormonal frenzy. The (soon to be) Bride loved it.

Flash forward 40 years.

I figured it would be cool to reenact that “Colour My World” scene, especially since I had won Chicago tickets – on my birthday, another good omen, surely.

There were some bumps along the way. The concert was at an outdoor venue, Gexa Energy Pavilion, in July, and our ducats were just lawn “seats.”

Still, I managed to find that old jade ring. I scratched out a few heartfelt words on hotel stationery and tucked it into my back pocket. (She discovered it at the elevator, but I retrieved the note before she read it.)

At Gexa, it was 7,000 degrees. Before we got our blanket spread out on the grassy lawn, I had sweated through every piece of clothing I had on.

Clandestinely, I slid the ring under my doffed flip-flops. However, when I came back from a restroom visit, the Bride had rearranged the blanket and used my shoes to anchor it; now I had no idea where the green ring was in the green grass as the sun disappeared.

Terrific. This was not going to be 1975 redux. That’s when I noticed the group was playing all of “Ballet for a Girl in Buchannon” from Chicago II and “Colour My World” was part of it.

Miraculously, I found the ring, just when the song started. I passed it and the note over to her. She would probably rather have had an Aquafina water bottle, but she smiled – which meant a lot, even all these years later since my frenzy for her has not diminished.

The concluding chapter of a grandfather’s recollections

M

y experiences were varied. The Menoken School was at that time a hard proposition for an inexperienced teacher. There were some rather turbulent elements in the neighborhood, and some factions that did not mix together very well.

I boarded with a family named Scotten. Mr. Scotten was a member of the School Board, and had two or three children in school. Dancing was a popular mode of entertainment, and I was invited and expected to attend the dances. Some of the patrons thought I paid too much attention to one girl, and others thought I favored someone else.

One faction thought the children were too noisy at recess. Others thought I was too strict and punished their innocent children too much. The fact is, I did not use tact in handling the entire matter, although I tried as hard as I could to give them good service.

The children made good progress, and seemed to like me. But it was mainly the outside and social features, to which I failed to give proper attention. After more or less discord, I finally gave up the school at the end of five months.

I went to Butler County the following spring, and had no difficulty in securing the spring term in my old

school district, where I had taught my first term.

I taught several terms in Butler County and returned to Shawnee County, where I taught for several years.

I taught two HISTORICAL terms at RochHIGHLIGHTS ester, one term at Dover, one Laurie Moseley term at Indian Creek and two terms at Avondale, my old home south of Topeka.

My last term of school closed at Avondale in the spring of 1887. The following year I engaged in newspaper reporting on the old Commonwealth.

In 1879 I became greatly interested in theatrical matters. This resulted in my joining the J.G. Stuttz Dramatic Company at Richmond, Kentucky.

The company was in poor circumstances, financially, and the “Blue Grass Region: of Kentucky did not respond very liberally to our efforts.

The weather was unfavorable, too.

We opened at Richmond during the county fair, and did a fairly good amount of business.

From here I was sent ahead of the company to Mt. Sterling to bill the

show and make arrangements for hotel and opera house. I also saw the newspapermen and placed advertising. My position was the best in the company as I had all the bills to make, and the other fellows were to pay them, which they seldom did.

While at Mt. Sterling, I met my namesake, Josiah Jordan. He was mayor of the town, and owned a saloon and a livery stable. He insisted that we were blood relatives, and showed the most cordial good fellowship. He invited me to visit him at his home, and insisted on my partaking of his best whiskey and smoking his best cigars.

Our business at Mt. Sterling was none too good.

Note: Josiah's chronicle ends at this point. But in some of his other papers we find that he gets stranded in Mt. Sterling and it is only through the generosity of his friend, Lyman Gage, that he makes it back to Topeka.

And this is apparently the end of his role as a professional entertainer. He may have intended the latter part of this narration to have been a separate manuscript, but it seemed natural to me to continue the story at the point that I did. ~Ellen J.

ou’ve heard that, right? “It’s a dry heat.” It’s 110 in the shade, but it’s a dry heat. That’s what they say, anyway.

Well, whatever they’re selling, I’m not buying. Dry heat! If there are 3 digits involved, it’s hot! My idea of perfect weather can be summed up by my golf game. I usually shoot in the 70’s. If it’s much warmer or colder than that, I don’t play.

And then I went and spent a week in the desert.

Last week I attended a conference in Phoenix. I was prepared to be miserable when I saw the forecast range of 103-109 every day I was scheduled LIFE MATTERS to be there.

I was extra Gerry Lewis nervous because a part of the schedule included two mornings of golf.

In case you missed the pun, that thing about shooting in the 70’s is completely temperature related. I’m a crummy golfer. Thank goodness, the golf game was about strategic networking and not golf. When I play with people who take golf seriously, it is not fun for anyone.

How hot was it? It was so hot, the soles of my golf shoes came unglued! After 10 holes, both soles had completely come off and I felt like I was walking around in ballet shoes. At least that is my assumption, since I don’t have any personal ballerina experience.

Actually, I don’t think the heat in Phoenix had anything to do with my shoes coming apart, but it makes for a great story. And who am I to let a little truth get in the way of a great story?

Here’s a story from the desert that is absolutely true. I deliberately didn’t check the temperature while we were out that day, because I didn’t want to be psyched out.

Around hole 13, we were sitting in the cart waiting. It was a rare shady spot and there was a little bit of a breeze. It was downright pleasant, so I risked checking the Weather Channel app on my phone.

It was 101 degrees! Not only was the temperature 101, the app said it felt like 97. Seriously. Summer wind chill in the desert!

I’ve come to the conclusion that there might actually be something to that whole “dry heat” thing. I’ve sweated more carrying my briefcase to my car on summer mornings at home than I did in an entire week in the valley of the sun.

This requires me to admit something: I am sometimes wrong! And the sooner I admit it, the better off I am because everyone else knows I am sometimes wrong.

Our lives don’t just matter to God when we are right.

Confessing when we are wrong leads to healthier relationships and gives us the opportunity to extend the grace of forgiveness to each other.

There’s great power in that.

While we were outside after dinner one evening a little shower came up. I just sat there.

It was a dry rain.

Seems Impossible but Rogue Nation best M:I yet Say what you want about Tom Cruise – his private life might not be too impressive but his fi lm career sure is. Cruise is a movie star.

had recent worldwide disasters pinned on it – including the bombing of the Kremlin. Cruise believes the group behind the events and the one blaming the IMF is a shadowy group called The Syndicate.

After narrowly escaping a potentially deadly interrogation thanks to Ilsa (Rebecca Ferguson), Cruise begins trying to fi nd the man who heads The Syndicate, Lane (Sean Harris). But Harris is always a step ahead; even with Ferguson – who may or may not be a double agent – popping up, Harris can’t be grabbed.

Back in the U.S., Brandt (Jeremy Renner) is having a tough time keeping CIA director Hunley (Alec Baldwin) from shutting the IMF down. Eventually, that’s exactly what happens.

So, Cruise reassembles his team of computer whiz Luther (Ving Rhames) and dedicated Benji (Simon Pegg) along with Renner and the iffy Ferguson to pull off an elaborate scheme that ends with someone shooting the British prime minister.

Of course, it all works out.

About the film Every Mission: Impossible movie has been mostly good, a claim that almost no series can make.

The fi rstM:I movie came out in 1996, directed by crazy maverick Brian (I love long tracking shots) De Palma. It was good (Movie Man No. 129, 7) if kinda muddled. It made a whopping $181 million in America – that of course means sequel city.

In 2000, Mission: Impossible II, directed by action specialist John Woo, did even better at the box offi ce with $215.4 million. The Movie Man was more enamored with the fi rst one, but M:I II (MM #342, 6) had its moments.

It took six years for Mission: Impossible III to arrive and, the weakest of the bunch despite being directed by fanboy favorite J.J. Abrams, it looked like the series might’ve been played out. M:I III (2006, MM #664, What works 5) made just $133.4 million in Cruise is cool. He’s famous America. for doing most of his own So, when another M:I was stunts and his hanging onto a announced, hopes weren’t that plane taking off is undeniably high.

Movie Man impressive. But he’s potent in other scenes, too.

Pegg is super, Baldwin chews up the screen as he should, and the Movie Man loves Renner who was so spectacular in American Hustle (2013, MM #1070, 7) and should’ve gotten at least a nomination for Best Supporting Actor for it.

Especially great is Ferguson.

She has had no major movie roles – she had a part in last year’s Dwayne Johnson’s Hercules (MM #1098, 6) – but she easily holds her own with Cruise, quite a feat.

Directed by writer Christopher McQuarrie, Rogue Nation fl ies along. Every set piece is fun and even espionage/action

Cruise has a weapon and trains his sight back and forth on the two remaining killers who are about to shoot – a creepy bad guy and Ferguson, who recently saved Cruise’s life.

He solves his dilemma by wounding the archbishop himself. The kicker is that, afterward, Ferguson said that’s exactly what she was going to do.

It’s a great scene.

“We don’t want this process to be about judgment, so we’ve taken some of the detail-oriented questions out of our analysis,” Robinson said. “A lot of the time people don’t realize what they spend money on until we sit down and look at their essential living expenses.

“Then they begin to think about what they spend any extra money on – whether it be cigarettes, alcohol, or lottery tickets – and [the Center of Hope] is not in a judgment position, which is a much better place for us to be.”

Mesothelioma may occur 30 to 50 years after exposure to asbestos. Many workers were exposed from the 1940s through the 1970s. Industrial and construction workers, along with their families (second hand exposure) are among those at risk for mesothelioma, lung cancer or gastro cancer (throat, stomach, colon).

PUBLISHER’S NOTICE

Seller Tip:

All real estate advertising in this newspaper is subject to the Fair Housing Act which makes it illigal to advertise “any preference, limitation or discrimination based on race, color, religion, sex, handicap, familial status or national origin, or an intention to make any such preference, limitation or discrimination.” Familial status includes children under the age of 18 living with parents or legal custodians, pregnant women and people securing custody of children under 18.

This newspaper will not knowingly accept any advertising for real estate which is in violation of the law. Our readers are hereby informed that all dwellings advertised in this newspaper are available on an equal opportunity basis. To complain of discrimination, call HUD toll-free at 1-800-669-9777. The toll-free telephone number for the hearing impaired is 1-800-927-9275.

Keep your greenery away from your foundation and brick. This could attract termites.

Buyer Tip:

Small cracks in the brick are normal for Texas soils, but always get a home inspection to discover any and all issues.
