City to conduct water ‘burnout’ The City of Springtown will begin a free chlorine burn out of the distribution systems starting this week and continuing for approximately 30 days. The burn out is a change in the treatment process from chloramines to free chlorine and is a necessary process to eliminate any nitrifi cation which may occur in the distribution system. This is a normal procedure and customers may experience an odor and or slight to moderate discoloration. However, this does not affect the safety of the water supply. For questions or more information call City Hall at 817220-2006.

and the mayor said that the noise has scared the teachers and the kids. “And with all the school shootings I believe we can all understand that,” Stokes said. “We have to find a way to do this safely.” Council Member Eric Hunter invited Springtown Independent School District Superintendent Mike Kelley to speak. “The council has a very, very difficult task,” Kelley said. “We have to balance the rights of the citizens and recognize one of the attractions of living in a community like Reno. “At the same time we have to make sure that our children are protected.” Kelley noted that no one with the school has indicated that they believe shots are being fired at the school or that bullets are necessarily flying across the property. “But there is that concern that this could happen,” he said. “We’ve had to call students inside a number of times during recess as shots were being fired out of concern for their safety. “While it’s a relative certainty that none of those bullets are coming across the property – even if it’s a 99.99 percent certainty – it’s not perfectly safe,” Kelley continued. “So we bring those kids in, which disrupts the learning environment – a minor concern here.” Kelley said the big question is how to balance the desire to live the lifestyle citizens have chosen in Reno while also protecting the community’s most valuable resource – the chil-

Explanatory Statements for the November 3, 2015 Constitutional Amendment Election Proposition Number 1 (SJR 1) SJR 1 - Current law provides an exemption of $15,000 from the ad valorem taxation for public school purposes of a residence homestead. The proposed amendment would increase this exemption to $25,000, starting in the tax year beginning January 1, 2015. In order to reﬂect the increased exemption on the homestead of a person 65 years of age or older or a disabled person, the proposed amendment would provide a reduction to the current limitation on the total amount of ad valorem taxes. The proposed amendment would protect school districts from all or part of the revenue loss by authorizing an appropriation of funds according to formulas set by the legislature. In addition, the proposed amendment would authorize the legislature to prohibit a political subdivision from reducing or repealing a homestead exemption adopted by the political subdivision. Finally, the proposed amendment would prohibit the imposition of a tax on the conveyance of real property, but would not prohibit the imposition of a business tax measured by business activity, a tax on the production of minerals, a tax on the issuance of title insurance, or a change in the rate of a tax in existence on January 1, 2016. The proposed amendment will appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment increasing the amount of the residence homestead exemption from ad valorem taxation for public school purposes from $15,000 to $25,000, providing for a reduction of the limitation on the total amount of ad valorem taxes that may be imposed for those purposes on the homestead of an elderly or disabled person to reﬂect the increased exemption amount, authorizing the legislature to prohibit a political subdivision that has adopted an optional residence homestead exemption from ad valorem taxation from reducing the amount of or repealing the

exemption, and prohibiting the enactment of a law that imposes a transfer tax on a transaction that conveys fee simple title to real property.” Proposition Number 2 (HJR 75) HJR 75 - In 2011, voters approved a constitutional amendment to allow a surviving spouse of a 100 percent or totally disabled veteran an exemption from ad valorem taxation from all or part of the market value on the disabled veteran’s residence homestead, as long as the surviving spouse had not remarried. The amendment did not apply to surviving spouses of veterans who died before 2011. This amendment would extend the exemption in such cases. The proposed amendment would apply only to ad valorem taxes imposed for a tax year beginning on or after January 1, 2016. The proposed amendment would appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to provide for an exemption from ad valorem taxation of all or part of the market value of the residence homestead of the surviving spouse of a 100 percent or totally disabled veteran who died before the law authorizing a residence homestead exemption for such a veteran took effect.” Proposition Number 3 (SJR 52) SJR 52 proposes a constitutional amendment to repeal the requirement for the Comptroller of Public Accounts, the Commissioner of the General Land Office, the Attorney General, and any other offi cers elected statewide to reside in Austin, Texas, the state capital. Under current law, these statewide elected officers are required to reside in the capital of the State of Texas while in offi ce. This amendment would not apply to the residency requirement for the Governor. The proposed amendment will appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment repealing the requirement that state offi cers elected by voters statewide reside in the state capital.”

Proposition Number 4 (HJR 73) HJR 73 proposes a constitutional amendment that would grant the legislature the authority to pass statutes to allow a professional sports team charitable foundation to conduct charitable raffl es under the terms and conditions imposed by general law. The laws passed under this authority may provide that the professional sports team charitable foundation may use proceeds from such charitable raffles to pay reasonable advertising, promotional, and administrative expenses. Any law enacted by this provision only applies to entities defi ned as professional sports team charitable foundations on January 1, 2016. Additionally, any law enacted by this provision may only allow charitable raffl es to be conducted at games hosted at the home venue of the professional sports team associated with a professional sports team charitable foundation. The proposed amendment would appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment authorizing the legislature to permit professional sports team charitable foundations to conduct charitable raffles.” Proposition Number 5 (SJR 17) SJR 17 proposes a constitutional amendment which would increase from 5,000 to 7,500 the maximum total population threshold of a county that is allowed to construct and maintain private roads as long as the county imposes a reasonable charge for the work. The proposed amendment will appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment to authorize counties with a population of 7,500 or less to perform private road construction and maintenance.” Proposition Number 6 (SJR 22) SJR 22 proposes a constitutional amendment that would add the right to hunt, fi sh and harvest wildlife, including by use of traditional methods, in the Bill of Rights of the Texas Constitution. This right would be subject to laws and regulations intended to conserve

and manage wildlife and to preserve the future of hunting and fishing. The proposed amendment would establish hunting and fi shing as the preferred method of managing and controlling wildlife in Texas. The proposed amendment is not intended to affect any law or provision related to trespass, property rights or eminent domain, and would not prevent the legislature from authorizing a municipality to regulate the discharge of a firearm in a populated area in the interest of safety. The proposed amendment will appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment recognizing the right of the people to hunt, fi sh, and harvest wildlife subject to laws that promote wildlife conservation.” Proposition Number 7 (SJR 5) SJR 5 proposes a constitutional amendment to dedicate a portion of revenues from (1) the state sales and use tax, and (2) the tax imposed on the sale, use, or rental of a motor vehicle, to the State Highway Fund (SHF). Under current law, these funds would be deposited to the General Revenue Fund. Money deposited to the SHF is intended to be used only to construct, maintain, or acquire rights-of-way for public roadways other than toll roads; or to repay certain transportation-related debt. The proposed amendment would appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment dedicating certain sales and use tax revenue and motor vehicle sales, use, and rental tax revenue to the state highway fund to provide funding for nontolled roads and the reduction of certain transportation-related debt.”

History of local Masons next museum topic BY NATALIE GENTRY Paul Gregory will speak at the next meeting of the Legends Museum on Thursday, Sept. 24 at 7 p.m. Gregory will discuss the history of the Masons, of which he has been a member of since 1982. The old Mason building and the Masons themselves have long been a part of Springtown’s history. The Masons, Gregory said, go as far back as King Solomon. They began with the building of Solomon’s temple and have been around ever since. Gregory is a longtime Springtown resident; he moved with his family to the area in 1966. He graduated from Springtown High School in 1978, and last year he opened his

gun store business – On the Square Trading Company – in the historic Mason’s building. According to Museum Director Gloria Elam, Gregory is quite the historian and loves to talk about the history of Springtown. “He related to me the story of how the Masons began a charter in Springtown, but Veal Station had one the members liked better,” she said.

Veal Station was a growing town because of the stagecoach line that went through there. In fact, they were growing faster than Springtown or Weatherford. Most meetings of the Masons were held at Veal Station, and since the Springtown Masons were meeting there and had their actual charter in Springtown, the District Deputy of the State of Texas

got involved and took the Veal Station charter away. The Masons appealed to move the lodge to Veal Station and for a time it was held there. Veal Station had hoped the railroad would choose a course through there, but because of the steep incline to that town, the route went to

Weatherford instead. That decision meant less growth for Veal Station and its eventual decline. The Mason Charter returned to Springtown in 1873 and has been there ever since. Gregory will also talk about other facets of Springtown’s history.

weekly! The paper covers it all: from the gridiron to the council chambers. Oh, other news organizations pop into Springtown when something big arises. But the Epigraph is always here – week in and week out – chronicling the pulse of our community. In the paper you’ll find youth achievements, updates on service organizations, local men and women in military, anniversaries, weddings, and school activities.

Sully Joe Lanier, 36, of Springtown, passed away Friday, Sept. 4, 2015. A funeral service was held on Monday, Sept. 14, 2015, at Mount Olivet Chapel with interment in Mount Olivet Cemetery. Sully was born Feb. 18, 1979 in Fort Worth to Randy and Karen Lanier. Sully was loved by so many. He was a man that would run to assist anyone that needed it. He would absolutely take the shirt he had on his back and offer it to any person in need. He offered so many instances of love and affection. His life was short and he is now in God’s hands. He was a Christian and had accepted Jesus as his personal Lord and Savior. He confessed this to his father on many occasions. While his family is grieving we all know he is in the hands of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. Sully was preceded in death by his grandfather, Roy Wilder; grandmother, Marie Wild-

Groundbreaking held for Splashpad park BY NATALIE GENTRY A group of about 20 people gathered yesterday to break ground at Springtown Park and begin construction on the city’s Splashpad – a water park. The group assembled on the east end of the park by the Walnut Creek playground to celebrate the beginning of work on the eagerlyawaited project Springtown residents can expect to see significant progress at the site as early as next week. “People will be amazed at how fast the construction will be,” said Councilman Tony Smith. The water elements arrived last week. The Splashpad will be another family-friendly addition to the Springtown Park complex. The layout of the water feature has been re-

fined to make sure everyone enjoys the water. There will be distinct and separate spray zones on the Splashpad to accommodate different age groups. Throughout the Splashpad there will 46 spray elements, including 34 ground spray nozzles and 12 above-ground elements. Additional safety features include heavy rubber toe guards at the base of each of each aboveground element to prevent stubbed toes and spacing of the spray elements to ensure they cannot reach elements in the other age zone. In addition, the drainage system will direct water back to the city’s water treatment plant to help minimize water consumption. The Splashpad is scheduled to open Memorial Day weekend, May 24-26.

A small crowd of community members, city personnel, and children gathered to break ground at the site of the Springtown Splashpad: (front, l-r) Destiny Van Horn, Adam Wilson, Sterlyn Smith, Gage Payne, Dylan Payne, and Ryleigh Strickland; (back) Christine Martens, Liliana Martens, Robert Wilson, Bobby Wilson, Mayor Doug Hughes, Weld-Done Construction’s Josh Sexton, Pam Smith, County Commissioner George Conley, Councilman, Tony Smith, City Secretary, Jhanna Bogan, Councilwoman Annette Burk, and City Administrator, Mark Krey.

10A Full frontal nudity!

(Now that I have your attention...)

he human body is either a marvel to behold or, if you’ve been to Cancun, a flat-out horror. There are not a lot of statues of blubbery Twinkie-infested people; they are always muscle-ripped Greek gods – sometimes literally. Like at Wichita Falls’ Memorial Stadium where there – in full frontal glory – is some dude holding a torch aloft. Memorial Stadium goes way back in my family. My late dad used to tell stories of seeing the Dallas Cowboys scrimmage there in the early 1960’s, trying to drum up interest in the fledgling NFL team. He always said the Wichita Falls High School Coyotes out-drew the Pokes by a mile. I don’t know if the statue was there then. If so, even though the Sixties were ramping up, those prudish Eisenhower era old-timers would have had a hard time getting over the fact that a giant nude guy was at the end of the football field. I spent several childhood evenings at Memorial Stadium; I can’t recall the statue then, but, if we saw it, I’m pretty sure we giggled a lot.

This is a bona fide nekkid male. It’s not a slick Olympic Ken doll; this guy is posed in anatomically correct pride. I can’t imagine anyone approving of ON YOUR something like that on school MARK property today. Mark K. Campbell Right now, we’re more freaked out by every little thing far more than anyone from the Happy Days of the Cleavers ever were. There is a plaque on the statue. The top part is written in Greek and, since I dropped Spanish four times in my scholastic career, I have zero chance of reading it in any other original language either. Fortunately, there is an English translation. Unfortunately, it’s almost impossible to read. It looks like a weather-worn Civil War tombstone. Thanks to modern technology – blowing up a picture – some words can be discerned. Then you Google the few you can decipher – the key

one being that it was written by Pindar (which would make a great name for a rapper, yo) – and here’s what you get: Ephemeral creatures that we are! Who shall say what each man is, and is not? For man is but the shadow of a dream. Yet if the gods bestow on him but a gleam of their own radiance, bright flame surrounds him and his life is sweet. It’s hard to imagine Tom Landry or a football coach today addressing his players in this manner before a game: “Get out there and be ephemeral!” The Bride thought it would be a good idea for football to be played nude, that there’d be fewer injuries (!). Which, of course, is loco. As a former high school football player – Second Team All-District Defensive Back, 1973 – I’ve been in enough piles of grunting, sweating teenage boys on the gridiron and have had my face pressed against some unsettling areas of other guys’ anatomy that the last thing you’d want is to play football nude. It’s one of the few times when a concussion would be good. Which would make you ephemeral indeed. Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and was also Honorable Mention Offensive End.

Samuel Augustus Maverick, Part 1: From the Deep South to Texas to the Alamo, a lawyer sees history

amuel Augustus Maverick, land baron and legislator, was born at Pendleton, South Carolina, on July 23, 1803, the son of Samuel and Elizabeth (Anderson) Maverick. He spent his earliest years primarily in Charleston, but in 1810 the family moved to Pendleton, where Maverick’s father established a plantation and devoted much of his energy to buying land in South Carolina, Alabama, and Georgia. Maverick was educated at home until age 18, when he left South Carolina and spent a summer studying under a tutor at Ripton, Connecticut, in preparation for entry to Yale University. He entered the sophomore class at Yale in September 1822 and graduated in 1825. He returned to Pendleton, started handling some of his father's business affairs, and developed an eye for land and a careful business sense. In 1828 he traveled to Winchester, Virginia and studied law under noted jurist Henry St. George Tucker. Mav-

commander of the army, Edward Burleson, recommended a retreat instead. Ben Milam offered to lead an attack, and several hundred men volunteered accomHISTORICAL to pany him. On HIGHLIGHTS the morning December Laurie Moseley of 5, Maverick guided Milam's detachment into the city, while Smith guided a second detachment under Colonel Frank Johnson. For five days the men fought building-to-building. During the fighting, Milam took a bullet to the head, and Maverick caught his body as it fell. Cos surrendered on the morning of the sixth day, and Maverick attended the surrender ceremony with Burleson and Johnson.

The provisional Texas government had decided in November that all land sales in Texas after August 20, 1835 would be voided, but with the hostilities temporarily over, Maverick continued to buy land in and around San Antonio. He remained with the army stationed at the Alamo. The garrison was prohibited from voting in the election for San Antonio delegates to the Texas independence convention because they were considered transients. The men held their own election, and chose Maverick and James Butler Bonham, who had worked as a lawyer in Pendleton at the same time as Maverick. Bonham declined to accept his nomination, and Jesse Badgett was elected in his place. Although Badgett left for the convention, Maverick remained at the siege of the Alamo until March 2, the same day the other delegates were signing the Texas Declaration of Independence. By this time the Alamo was surrounded by Mexican troops, and according to Maverick's children, when

He ran for the South Carolina legislature in 1830, but his anti-secession and anti-nullification views contributed to his defeat and led him to leave the state in 1833. He settled temporarily in Georgia, then on a plantation in Lauderdale County, Alabama, before moving to Texas in March 1835. Maverick arrived in Texas eager to start building his own land empire, but the Texas Revolution was rapidly developing. He reached San Antonio shortly before the siege of Bexar began and was soon put under house arrest with John W. Smith and A. C. Holmes on the orders of Mexican general Martín Perfecto de Cos. Forbidden to leave the city, Maverick kept a diary that provides a vivid record of the siege. He and Smith were released on December 1 and quickly made their way to the besiegers' camp. They approached the Texan army, offered their first-hand knowledge of the situation, and urged an attack. The

Maverick left, William Barret Travis (the commander of the Texan forces at the Alamo) urged him to convince the convention to send reinforcements. He remained in San Antonio after the siege and in February was elected one of two delegates from the Alamo garrison to the independence convention scheduled for March 1,1836, at Washington-on-the-Brazos. He left the embattled garrison on March 2 and arrived at the convention on March 5. Maverick arrived at the convention on Saturday, March 5,with his friend Smith, who carried one of Travis' final missives. The convention was in recess for the weekend, but a special session was called for the following day. By the time the special session concluded, the Battle of the Alamo had concluded, and the Alamo defenders were all dead.

Rachel,

the wife of Jacob (whose name God changed to Israel in Genesis 32) was giving birth to her second son and was in distress in the process. Genesis 35:1718 says, “When she was in severe labor the midwife said to her, ‘Do not fear, for now you have another son.’ It came about as her soul was departing (for she died), that she named him Ben-oni; but his father called him Benjamin.” This is a sad story that could have been even sadder, but for the choice of a wise and sensitive father. With her dying breath, Rachel names her son Ben-oni: son of my sorrow. Imagine how the boy’s life might have been being reminded every day of the sorrow he brought to his dying mother. But his father called him Benjamin: son of my right hand. Now, instead of “little sorrow bringer,” this boy was known as “Daddy’s right hand man.” I can’t help but believe that set the course of his life. How will we choose our words to help those we love know just how much their lives matter to God?

Springtown bashes Hirschi for 1st victory Two Porcupine records are shattered By MArk k. cAMPBeLL It was a night to remember. While the Porcupines were piling up points quickly and early en route to a 62-32 victory in Wichita Falls over Hirschi, something unusual was occurring concurrently. Mateo Herrera was scoring touchdowns on passes from Springtown (1-2) quarterback Kaleb Chesney – several, including three in the first quarter. Before the evening was over, Herrera had broken the school record in TD receptions with five. And Chesney, with two other touchdown aerials – to Jonathan Chavez and Austin Bauman – also set a new SHS mark. The previous receiving record was held by Ian Bickel with four against Azle in 2010. Chesney rose the passing TD bar beyond the previous mark of 6 held by Logan Turner – also against Azle – in 2006. The game was hardly in doubt right off the bat. The closest Hirschi got early was 23-14 in the second quarter. But the Porcupines kept on scoring. Herrera caught TD passes of

Daniels takes contest Four contestants missed one game each in the weekly football contest. The tie-breaker of TCU 70, Stephen F. Austin 7 (77) shook out winners. Taking the $20 first place cash with a guess of 70 on the tie-breaker was Wade Daniels. Second place – and $10 – went to Johnny Pruitt with a prediction of 68. Wes Robinson won the $5 third place check with a guess of 59. Too far off on the tie-breaker was Blondie Robinson with a tie-breaker final tally prognostication of 52 points.

Next up OPEN WEEK

Open Weeks are a good time to get well and heal up from early season dings. Springtown will resume action on a big week: Homecoming. Like the Porcupines, the Lions lost their first two games – to state-ranked Graham and Altus, Oklahoma – before winning in week 3, 34-21 over Burkburnett. 15, 14, and 16 yards before 8 minutes had elapsed. Quinton Allen scored on a 5-yard run and Chavez’s TD put Springtown up 36-14 with 3:38 left in the first half. When Hirschi scored to end the first half and open the second, the Huskies got as close as they would, trailing 36-26. Big plays – SHS’ bugaboo in the game – hurt, but, Springtown Coach Brian Hulett said, “We made a small scheme change in the third and shut them down for all but one drive of the second half.”

Tossing out four long Hirschi TD runs, the Porcupine defense allowed only 131 yards rushing. After the Huskies crept to within 10 points, Springtown put the game away with three unanswered scores. Herrera caught his fourth TD pass, 41 yards from Chesney; Fisher Drewry ran over from the 2; and Bauman snagged a 3-yard TD, again from Chesney. Both SHS records fell in the fourth quarter. To answer a Hirschi interception return, Chesney and Herrera immediately hooked up for a 46-yard touchdown after a failed Wichita Falls onsides kick. It was Herrera’s fifth to catch and Chesney’s seventh to throw – both new Springtown records. Hulett said, “Obviously, it’s good to get a win – good for the kids and especially going into the bye week.” He lauded the Porcupines’ offensive effort at finishing drives and the improved play on defense. “We still have a long ways to go, but we did some things Porcupine Mateo Herrera hauls in yet another touchdown in front of a Wichita Falls well,” he said.

Volleyball ladies split 2 matches By MArk k. cAMPBeLL The up and down season for the Lady Porcupine volleyball team continues. In one match, Springtown (13-11) dominated a visiting foe, Alvarado, in a sweep. Then, the next time out, the tables were turned and SHS was on the receiving end of a 3-0 tally on the road. At home Sept. 11, the Lady Porcupines rolled over Alvarado 25-11, 25-14, 25-15. Coach Leighann Strickland said, “Our pace was much better where we were able to run some different options.” In just three games, Springtown recorded 38 kills with the Waiting for a teammate to serve are Lady Porcupines Gabby Terry (3) and Jordan usual suspects – Ashton WeavBabcock (9).

Babcock – leading the way. Weaver led with way with 19 kills, Terry had 8, and Babcock killed 6 more balls. There were some other nice numbers, too. Sydney Farris had all 30 assists and Mackensie Martin served 3 aces. At Kennedale four days later, things did not go as well. Strickland said, “We did not play very well and take care of defensive balls.” Weaver killed 8 balls, Farris had 18 assists and 3 aces, and Martin dug out 8, all team highs. Next up is another pair of road trips, to Krum (Sept. 18) and Breckenridge (Sept. 22). District finally starts Sept. 25.

JV, 9th football go 1-1 vs Hirschi The Porcupine JV lost its first game of the season, 50-27 to Wichita Falls Hirschi. SHS (2-1) fell behind 21-0 before scoring. Russell Jones tallied 3 TDs on runs of 1, 4, and 1 yards. The other TD came when Jacob Nelson-Peters caught a 25yard scoring aerial. The 9th (3-0) stayed unbeaten after thrashing their Huskie counterparts 46-0.

Sawyer Drewry scored first on a 51-yard punt return. He also accounted for the next points on a 1-yard TD run. Also scoring were Ashton Watson on another punt return – this one 20 yards – Andrew Guisinger, Bowden Bond, and Dakota Brooks on runs. The defense got a fourth quarter safety, and Kyle Lunsford picked off a pass in the victory.

Subvarsity VB girls play tournaments

One of 14 players aged 17-18 to represent the USA in an Italy tournament held every four years was Springtown’s Jake Jordan. He threw 3 and 2/3 innings with 7 strikeouts and no earned runs as America went 4-1 and won the gold. The select USA team was assembled from the DFW and North Texas area.

Non-district matches and tourneys awaited the SHS volleyball subvarsities. The JV (8-5) beat Alvarado 25-4, 25-14 as Peyton Yates, Kennedy Sonne, and Karlee Eddy all had 3 aces. At a Glen Rose tourney, Springtown beat Decatur and Hillsboro in pool play. In the Gold bracket, the hosts fell in 2 games. The young Lady Porcupines lost “a heartbreaker” to Peaster in 3 games, Coach Hannah Adams recalled. A loss to Godley ended the tourney. Next, the SHS JV swept Ken-

nedale 25-14, 25-19, carding 22 kills and 12 aces. The 9th (14-1) kept mashing foes, sweeping Alvarado 25-7, 2513; Michayla Goforth had 5 aces. The frosh won the Glen Rose tourney, winning its pool then byeing to the semifinals where they romped Cleburne with Meleah Pineda and Rachel Hellam key in the victory. The title was won 25-19, 2325, 25-17 over Godley. “I am proud of what we have accomplished so far,” coach JV Porcupine Lane Hill finds running room against HirsMissy Castro said.

The mom’s reveal that shocks the children has some clout, even if you have deduced what’s going on. The fi lm is the right length at 94 minutes, and it’s a nice combo of scary/funny for most of it – even the found footage gimmick isn’t too distracting.

Oxenbould as a lily-white rapper is not very funny. The ending, despite a quick nod to The Blair Witch Project conclusion, isn’t boffo. The rating This is a hard PG-13 with an f-bomb, violence, gore, and some body fluid gross outs.

However, now recognize the benefits of idea of keeping a vehicle that perhaps due to the rising cost keeping their vehicles for the has surpassed the 100,000-mile of new vehicles, many drivers long haul. According to Polk research, many of today’s drivers are keeping their cars for longer (817)220-1229 periods of time, with the average age of all cars on the road being 11 years. In October of 2011, Joe LoCicero saw his 1990 Honda Accord crack the one million mile mark, a feat Auto Repair, Radiator Repair, Mufflers & Diagnostics for which Honda awarded him a new Accord and a parade in his hometown.

the financial impact of such a decision. In a recent survey and study from Consumer Reports, the savings of keeping a vehicle for 225,000 miles over 15 years versus purchasing and financing an identical model every five years equated to a savings of more than the original purchase price of the car. A person can potentially save $20,000 or more on a properly maintained older car. Keeping a car running beyond 200,000 miles was once pure luck.

But as durable and reliable as today’s cars may be, AAA notes the importance of regular maintenance. Knowing your car is one of the first ways to make sure it gets the service it needs.

be trusted is an important step for drivers who want to keep their vehicles going strong for years to come. A driver is more likely to bring the car in for service if the price is right and he or she does not feel like any costly and unnecessary repairs are being recommended. Building a good relationship with a mechanic can keep a car working longer. Newer model year cars can be taken to dealership mechanics, who may have a better working knowledge of newer electronics and the subtleties of specific models of cars. The owner’s manual should not be something that simply takes up space inside the glove compartment. It is worthy of a read. Understanding the recommended maintenance schedule and what other steps can be taken to prolong the life of the car can keep it on the road longer. Keeping the tires inflated to the proper pressure and using the right type of gasoline are the types of information that can be found in the manual. Drivers can save a lot of money on unnecessary repairs if they follow these guidelines. Many people are keeping their vehicles longer, reaching mile marks that were once unheard of. Investing in a car that has a good track record of longevity and then properly maintaining the vehicle are necessary to getting the most out of your vehicle investment.
