SISD prepared to combat illnesses Ebola, Enterovirus outbreak concerns addressed through proactive policies

By Natalie Gentry America has watched with barely contained horror as a second case of the lethal Ebola virus was confirmed in Dallas and as Enterovirus D-68 has swept through the Midwest sending hundreds of children to hospitals. However, the Springtown Independent School District (SISD) says that the school system has protocols in place designed to prevent or eliminate the spread of infectious illnesses. “The procedures for closing or Work on the northbound lane of FM 51 got underway Wednesday, Oct. 15 after two days of delays. The delaying school are pretty standard first leg of the project – from Highway 199 to 5th Street – is expected to take seven days. Photo by Natalie Gentry across districts,” SISD Superintendent Mike Kelley said. “Student safety is always our first consideration, regardless of whether we’re evaluating weather conditions or a mass outbreak of some sort of illness.” One of the items the SISD Board of Trustees approved at the Sept. 29 meeting was a document identifying procedures for “closing school for bad weather conditions/emergencies.” Kelley notes that “emergencies”

Woman sentenced in 32-year-old crime Mathis given 10 years’ probation for niece’s death

Decades later, justice was served in the death of a young child. Teena Jolene Mathis, 55, of Springtown was sentenced Monday to 10 years’ probation after pleading guilty to the murder of her 15-month-old niece 32 years ago. According to the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office, Mathis reached an agreement with prosecutors who contend that she beat the child – Heidi Page – at Mathis’ Fort Worth home July 15, 1982. Heidi was at Mathis’ home in Fort Worth at the time. Mathis reportedly told Heidi’s mother Jolene Price and authorities that Heidi and Mathis’ own children were swing-

ing in the backyard when a phone call took Mathis inside. She said that Heidi had walked behind the swing set and was hit in the head. The girl died two days later. Although the Tarrant County medical examiner ruled Heidi’s death a homicide by blunt-force trauma, no arrest was made in the case at the time. Investigators reopened the case last year and ultimately arrested Mathis on a murder charge. They said bruises on the Heidi’s body were not consistent with Mathis’ explanation of her injury. Mathis was indicted in July 2013 and accused of striking Heidi with or against a hard object. Teena Jolene Mathis

could include variety of reasons, health concerns being but one. “If our nurses and administrators believed our students’ safety could possibly be at risk due to a contagious illness, we will certainly contact the Texas Department of Health and seek guidance as to whether or not to cancel classes.” Kelley said. “Over the last several years, I have seen several districts cancel classes because of a particularly concentrated outbreak of a flu strain…we would do the same if such action were warranted.” Being proactive Maybe the most important step in controlling the spread of illness is vaccinations. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) website indicates that flu activity most commonly peaks in the U.S. between December and February with seasonal flu activity PLEASE SEE SISD, PAGE 2A.

30 years: Sanger man bound for prison for molesting 7 year old A 42-year-old Sanger man pleaded guilty to aggravated sexual assault of a child and was sentenced to 30 years in prison in Weatherford Oct. 7. James Burt Opitz was accused of sexually assaulting a 7-year-old girl on numerous occasions in 2012 and 2013 in northern Parker County near Springtown. The plea bargain took place in the 43rd District Court with Judge Craig Towson presiding. “The allegations against Opitz came out after the victim’s brother found pictures the girl had taken of her own genitals on her Nintendo DS,” said Assistant District Attorney Jeff Swain, who prosecuted the case. “When her mother took her to a counselor to find out why she had taken the pictures, the victim explained what Opitz had been doing to her. It was a very credible outcry which the Sheriff’s Office investigators followed up on and corroborated.” Opitz will not be eligible for parole until he has completed half his sen-

tence, Swain said. “Of course, just because he’s eligible doesn’t mean that they will or should grant him parole,” Swain added.

Out-of-School test Oct., Dec. dates Test dates have been locked in for October and December for students who are away from their home districts. For the December administrations of the TAKS exit level tests, all registration for out-of-school examinees is online only. TAKS examinees (including former TAAS and TEAMS examinees) must register online at http://www.TexasAssessment.com/taksoos. While regular October registration has ended, examinees can continue to register on site at Springtown High School the day of testing. The October TAKS exit level tests will be administered Oct. 20-23. The December registration window is Sept. 22-Oct. 10. Those tests will be administered the week of December 1-5. Because the TAAS tests are no longer being administered, former TAAS examinees (including former TEAMS examinees) will take the appropriate part of the TAKS exit level English language arts and/or math test(s) on Oct. 20-22.

beginning as early as October and continuing to occur as late as May. “With that in mind, SISD recently hosted a series of vaccination clinics in an effort to proactively address an understandable concern in our community,” Kelley said. According to Laura Hughes, campus nurse for Springtown Intermediate School and Springtown Middle school, approximately 900 students and 195 adults received flu vaccinations during these clinics. Raising awareness In addition to the clinics, educators throughout the district are utilizing the new coverage of recent illnesses to teach and reinforce awareness of the viruses. “Enterovirus D68, STAPH, Pertussis, and Meningitis are

illnesses that, like many people, our staff is learning more and more about,” Kelley said “Many ‘teachable moments’ have recently been spurred by the constant coverage given to Ebola and Enterovirus D-68, and we hope that this has in turn prompted greater attention to some of the small details that can help deter the spread of many more common, but less debilitating, contagious illnesses.” SISD also has non-pharmaceutical interventions (NPIs), in place to help slow the spread of illnesses. “Examples of our campuslevel NPI efforts include our custodial company’s application (misting) of Ecolab’s ‘A-456 II Disinfectant,’ and increasing the frequency with which custodians otherwise sanitize common areas,” Kelley said. “Door knobs and counter-tops are wiped down

and floors are being mopped more frequently. “In addition Assistant Superintendent Mike Gilley is in the process of securing hand sanitizing gels and foams to distribute to classrooms, offices, and cafeterias.” Kelley continued. Promoting prevention Kelley noted that the district intentionally communicates preventative actions. According to the CDC, everyday preventive actions are vital to help slow the spread of germs that cause respiratory illnesses, like the flu: • Cover nose and mouth with a tissue when coughing or sneezing. • Wash hands often with soap and water. If soap and water are not available, use alcohol-based hand rub. • Avoid touching eyes, nose, and mouth.

• Try to avoid close contact with sick people. • If you or your child gets sick with a respiratory illness, like flu, limit contact with others as much as possible to help prevent spreading illness. (Stay home – or keep your child home – for at least 24 hours after fever is gone.) • If an outbreak of flu or another illness occurs, follow public health advice. In the coming weeks, additional information will be posted on the SISD website and throughout the schools. “Consistent reinforcement of healthy habits at home and in school will help ensure the safety of your child as well as his or her peers,” Kelley said. “Our school nurses will continue to make student health a priority, and dutifully maintain appropriate levels of communication with our teachers and staff.”

Sales tax revenues mostly up by carla noah stutsman With just two rather minor exceptions, it’s all good news when it comes to October sales tax revenue for local cities and special purpose districts. Texas Comptroller Susan Combs said Wednesday, Oct. 8 that state sales tax revenue in September was $2.17 billion, up 7.9 percent compared to September 2013. The sales tax figures represent monthly sales made in August. The cities of Azle, Springtown, Sanctuary and Lakeside, as well as Azle’s two special purpose districts and Parker County each bested their October 2013 revenues. Only the cities of Reno and Pelican Bay saw decreased revenue in October when compared with October 2013.

Azle’s October revenue of $169,263 is 3.95 percent higher than the $162,829 it received in the same month in 2013. Its year-to-date revenue of $1,777,988 represents a one percent increase over revenues received through October 2013. Azle’s Crime Control and Prevention District took in $32,391 in October. Compared with $31,264 in October 2013, that’s a 3.60 percent increase. So far in 2014, the district has received $331,307, or 0.56 percent more than the $329,435 it logged through last October. The city’s Municipal Development District received $33,121 in October, and has received $323,452 year-to-date. No comparisons may be drawn to last year because the MDD has not yet been collecting

It’s like they say -

Time is Money...

Are the lines getting longer and longer at your chain pharmacy? How much are you REALLY saving? • How much is YOUR time worth? Pharmacies offering low price generics often make up the difference by charging MUCH MORE for brand name drugs and drugs not on their “special” price list. Also, if you are on a prescription drug plan, copays will be the same whether you wait in line there, or come to Springtown Drug for fast, friendly service - and fair pricing on ALL your prescription needs.

Brooklyn Dauenhauer and Mackensie Martin shattered old Springtown (19-15, 4-1) records. Dauenhauer set a new kills mark; she got 14 in a 3-2 win over Castleberry Oct. 14. Martin served 5 aces against the Lady Lions to surpass the previous SHS serving mark. Against Decatur, Springtown struggled.

High cotton: 327s, Blue Knights, and a Beamer

’m not really a car guy. When my fellow high schoolers were drooling over their first cars and getting them “souped up,” I was watching old scary movies and learning shorthand. (Today, I can remember only one thing in shorthand – and I advanced to regional in the UIL competition in 1973 – my first name.) I just never got the car bug. I never drove fast; President Jimmy Carter’s lowering of the speed limit meant nothing to me since I was already driving only 55 miles per hour everywhere. Apparently, GTOs and LeManses were very cool. My first car was a 1966 Chevy Caprice. I distinctly remember these sorts of conversations with my teenage pals in 1973: CAR NUT: (amazed) Your Caprice is a ’66?! Is that a 327 in it? ME: (because it said it on the side of the car) Yes.

CAR NUT: And a four-barrel carb?! ME: (because someone once told me it did) Yes. CAR NUT: And you have a Cherry Bomb and a Blue Knight?! ME: (because when my mufflers got holes in them, a Cherry Bomb and a Blue Knight [the store only had one of each at the time] were less expensive than regular mufflers) Yes. So, I don’t care much about cars. Nor am I loyal to any specific make or model. In my 58 years, I have had three new vehicles – a 1981 VW Diesel (after I got a new job), a 1994 Plymouth Voyager (after I got a second job), and a 2004 Chevy Silverado (after a drunk driver hit us). On all sides of these vehicles, I have had a slew of cars that were held together by a variety of straps, duct tape, and especially my beloved standby miracle fixer, the bungee cord. Recently, I needed to rent a car after the Bride and I flew to Colorado. I had

been around enough to know that the advertised “full-size” car awaiting us would probably not be the pictured shiny red Challenger but a steady-asshe-goes white ON YOUR Impala. So, when the MARK lady offered to us, for Mark K. Campbell upgrade once I didn’t decline. (Such offers are usually as avoided as extended warranties.) For $10 more daily, she said, we could have a BMW. We really aren’t BMW people. We’re Chevy truck people who drive up and down a dirt road that is constantly washing out. But, we figured, why not?

So we YOLO’d a BMW, very high cotton, indeed. So high in fact, that I couldn’t figure how to start it. It had a key fob with which I was vaguely familiar, but, despite me waving it around like a magic wand, the Beamer still wouldn’t start! So we called the rental car maintenance guy over. “Put your foot on the brake.” Oh, yeah...guess I was too bedazzled – ooh, a moon roof! – to recall that simple move required on every vehicle on earth for the last three decades. This SUV had every bell and whistle, including an information panel that would allow you to bring your work email right into your front seat… for some reason. It also required a bachelor’s degree to shift. You had some sort of side button to push – only sometimes – to get the car into reverse or drive. I actually blocked traffic on a narrow Denver street because I could not get the stupid car out of reverse after

giving up on parallel parking. “I’m 58 years old and I don’t know how to drive this car!” I shouted to pot smoking (I assume) Coloradans who walked past, muttering about Texans. The biggest weirdness was the incredibly condescending voice of the GPS lady. She spoke to me like I was an idiot. “Prepare to turn,” she said smarmily, sounding like a female Bill Murray. You could almost hear her sigh in exasperation at this Chevy guy in a BMW. She bossed us around for four days. The last thing she said – under her breath – was “Thank the Lord” when we returned the vehicle. That BMW was a nice ride – but I don’t think it had a 327 in it and I know it didn’t have a Cherry Bomb. Take that, cocky GPS lady! Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and his silent Chevy truck has 307,000 miles on it.

Gov.’s disease task force meets

ith a second healthcare worker in Dallas being diagnosed with Ebola, Gov. Rick Perry’s Task Force on Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response met Oct. 15. The group discussed suggested recommendations on ways to improve on how Texas will address the treatment and response to these types of diseases.

Perry will review the group’s recommendations and “take action on those determined to benefit preparedness and response efforts,” a press release noted. He said, “I am in daily contact with Dr. Brett Giroir and Dr. David Lakey and [on Oct. 15] spoke with White House Chief of Staff Denis McDonough and HHS [Health and Human Services] Secretary Sylvia Mathews Burwell to ensure state and federal management of this issue is

tightly coordinated.” Perry added, “Everyone working on this challenge is working to end the threat posed by this disease. Every relevant agency at the local, state, and national levels is working. “I have great faith that we will succeed in this important mission; once we have put it behind us, we will be the stronger for it and more prepared to meet the kinds of challenges that we as Americans are uniquely prepared to face.”

American public except for a small determined group who are greatly concerned and the other side that is completely denying climate change is occurring. Other issues (ISIS, economy, Ukraine) are being discussed, and they need to be addressed; there is still room in the national agenda to discuss climate change. But before a national discussion can occur, people need to take the time to educate themselves on this important topic and not rely solely on the opinions (and agenda) of conservative talk radio, politicians, and the media. In the 1980’s, the science on ozone depletion was accepted, the science community was believed, and the world acted upon the research. The United States is an educated country and we need to take the time to learn about climate change. Ninety-seven percent of climate scientists believe that climate change is occurring and is being amplified by human activities. Instead of relying on the others to provide you information, take the time as an American citizen to educate yourself on this important world topic. There are numerous peer-reviewed scientific papers that the average American can read and decipher. Listed below are a few websites to start your search. Our lives but more importantly, the lives of future generations, could depend on it!

I challenge everyone to read the science before forming an opinion on climate change. In 1989, I was a teenager when the Montreal Protocol was signed by the nations of the world. At that time the ozone layer – which protects the Earth from the sun’s harmful ultraviolet rays – was being destroyed by harmful chlorofluorocarbons which were found in air-conditioning, aerosols, etc. Scientists had discovered the impacts of these chemicals on our atmosphere, published their findings, and the world listened and took action. We recently celebrated the twenty-fifth anniversary of the Montreal Protocol when the world came together – including politicians, industry, and nations – to address a harmful environmental problem. Due to their actions, the ozone layer has returned to pre-1980’s levels and continues to heal. Millions of lives were saved. A success! Recently, the United Nations Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) released the fifth assessment report on climate change (www.ipcc.ch/report/ar5/index). Hundreds of world renowned scientists on climate change contributed to this peer-reviewed scientific publication. www.noaa.gov It contained dire predictions for www.nasa.gov the planet and was immediately diswww.un.org/climate change puted by climate change deniers.

The British Point of View: American Loyalists, Part 2

rom a look across the pond, the British felt that although rarely mentioned “the local legislatures for their own ends, kept devaluing their currencies to the point of making them virtually worthless. This cheated creditors out of money, but also created large numbers of debtors in the colonies. The money owed wasn’t theirs to lose, so by promising to absolve these debts, the rebels devised a powerful incentive for support. The British had also drawn a proclamation line along the Appalachian Mountain peaks, honoring agreements to limit further encroachment onto Indian land and arrest the spiraling cost of protecting the colonists from Indian reprisals. Therefore those that settled beyond this line were the cause of a lot of problems as not having any money; they just became adept at murder-

able propaganda skills, they called themselves Patriots, contrived incidents like the so called ‘Boston massacre,' portrayed their own vested interests as philanthropic ideals, and incited a reign of terror, aimed at civil authorities to disrupt

society. In reality Hancock was a very wealthy smuggler, but the British had undercut his overpriced business and summoned him to appear in court at a time he and Samuel Adams were known to have been in Lexington, where the shots of unknown source

were fired at both sides resulting in several Militiamen being killed. The others including Sam Adams (a failed businessman accused of embezzlement), Allen, Paine, Franklin, Jefferson, and Madison were bitter men, who for various reasons held grievances against the British. The British only really wanted the smuggling and bribery to stop. The rebels’ strategy of attacking Loyalists, tarring and feathering them etc. to force them to resign their posts could have provided a role model for Hitler in the 1930's, as they also took advantage of unemployment to form their own militia, training them to take on the army (Redcoats) while at the same time as appealing to everyone's sense of ‘freedom’ were really maneuvering to dominate the colonists, majority of which were opposed to them. They were in fact, what we consider today as insurgents/terrorists and those that most loudly espoused 'freedom' were controlling the largest

Such people put extra strain and expense onto the British defences and were of course the natural allies of those powerful colonists, such as George Washington who wished to benefit from Indian land speculation.

This verdict ultimately led to the abolition of slavery in Britain.

The rebel leaders or founding fathers (all quasi-atheists, e.g. deists) only represented about 27 percent of 2.25 million colonists (although they said it was 33 percent), but even if this was correct they knew they would have never won power through a referendum, so as they possess consider-

number of slaves. Washington had become one of the wealthiest men in the Americas by marrying into as much money as he could and was anxious to gain even more through land speculations, if the Indian's land, which was being protected by Britain, could be seized, so it's not surprising he wasn't the type to want to pay any taxes. But it could be concluded that this motivation of greed had transformed him from a mediocre general under the British into an outstanding general, but he was at least as harsh on his troops as any British commander or even more so, as he would extend any lashing over several days for those he disapproved of, waiting for wounds to scab over before having them opened up again, then time and time again.

#drgrandpa says it’s time to ‘Find your new joy!’

woke up this morning under the patchwork “crazy” quilt that my Granny Lewis made for me when I was 10 years old. When I think of Granny, I think of quilts, Fritos and bean dip, crocheted afghans, playing croquet in the front yard, and “camping out” in a hammock stretched between two trees. Those two trees still stand in my dad’s yard. I have special memories of all my grandparents, but the quilt made me think of Granny and her grandkid spoiling expertise. I have heard that she once told my uncle that he should use “psychology” instead of

birth to spanking to punish his children t h e (her grandchildren). I have also most been told that he responded that beautihe wished she had heard of psyful and chology when he was a child! perfect More people than I can posbaby sibly count have told me that girl in your life changes forever when the hisyou become a grandparent. tory of “Oh, sure,” I thought.

One of my pastor friends sent me a message that comes as close to describing this situation as anything I have heard. He wrote, “I know your heart is filled with a brand new kind of joy.” Bingo! This new joy found me, but I can think of times when I have gone looking for joy and found it. I’m not talking about looking for situations to make me happy when I am sad. I’m talking about what the Apostle Paul must have intended when

he wrote: “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.” (Philippi-

ans 4:4-8) To intentionally find your new joy, you will have to choose your attitudes, your responses, and the focus of your thoughts. Our lives matter to God and that is a reason for deliberate rejoicing. It is amazing how He brings us peace when we choose joy. Perfect granddaughter photos available at facebook.com/ drgerrylewis.

Ruling prevents enforcement of voter ID law

n Oct. 9 ruling by U.S. District Judge Nelva Gonzalez Ramos of Corpus Christi prevents the state from enforcing the voter identification law passed by the Texas Legislature in 2011 as Senate Bill 14. In the case, Marc Veasey et al. v. Rick Perry et al., Ramos ruled the law was enacted with a discriminatory purpose and an impermissible discriminatory effect against Hispanics and African-Americans. Ramos said the law places an unconstitutional burden on the right to vote that is, in effect, a poll tax. “Plaintiffs,” she wrote, “have thus demonstrated that every form of SB 14-qualified ID available to the general public is issued at a cost.” Supporters of the law said the law, which requires each voter to present an official photo ID card, is needed to combat voter impersonation fraud, to build public confidence in election results, and to increase partici-

pation in elections. State Sen. Rodney Ellis, DHouston, who fought against the passage of SB 14 and testified in the district court proceedings, commented: “As the court ruled, the voter ID law is essentially a modern day poll tax and has the same effect as other laws used in decades past to keep scores of lawful, legal Americans from voting. It was wrong then, it is wrong now, and I’m pleased the court stood up to protect the right to vote for all Texans.” Ramos further ordered, “Any remedial enactment by the Texas Legislature, as well as any remedial changes by Texas’s administrative agencies, must come to the Court for approval.” Lauren Bean of the Office of the Texas Attorney General on Oct. 9 said, “The State of Texas will immediately appeal and will urge the Fifth Circuit (Court of Appeals in New Orleans) to resolve this matter quickly to avoid voter confusion in the upcoming election.

The U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled that voter ID laws are constitutional so we are confident the Texas law will be upheld on appeal.” Election day is Nov. 4, with early voting to be conducted Oct. 21-31. The last day for Texans to register to vote was Oct. 6. Texas prepares for Ebola Thomas Eric Duncan, the first individual diagnosed with Ebola virus in the United States, died in the isolation unit of a Dallas hospital on Oct. 8. And now, a hospital worker who had contact with Duncan has been diagnosed with the disease. According to the Department of State Health Services, Ebola is not contagious until symptoms appear, which can occur two to 21 days after exposure. Early symptoms include fever, headache, abdominal pain and weakness. Gov. Rick Perry on Oct. 6 announced the creation of the Texas Task Force on Infectious Disease Preparedness and Re-

Sales tax revenue increases State Comptroller Susan Combs on Oct. 8 announced state sales tax revenue in September was $2.17 billion, up 7.9 percent compared to September 2013. “Significant growth in sales tax revenues occurred across all major economic sectors, reflecting strength in both business and consumer spending. The gains were led by remittances from the oil and natural gas-related and manufacturing sectors, as well as from restaurants and retail trade,” she ex-

plained. Combs said cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts will receive October local sales tax allocations totaling $621.7 million, up 7.2 percent compared to October 2013.

Movie Man

Thursday,October 16, 2014

Dracula returns again: New Vlad not all that bad It’s quite a battle when it comes to the character that has been filmed the most. Actually, it’s a fight between two characters with a couple more rather far behind. About the film Hamlet and James Bond are the runners-up in the character contest, with 48 and 25, respectively. Two dudes are above the Prince of Denmark and 007 in the most appearances category. And that’s where the confusion can set in. If you’re talking about the most “frequently occurring” character in movies, then the winner is Sherlock Holmes. With around 220 or so appearances, he’s the official Guinness Book of World Records’ top dog. But when it comes to the “most filmed” character, Dracula wins easily with 272 appearances. Out of that great number, there have been some groovy vampire versions, some very poor ones, and some way out in left field. Depending on your age, the Dracula many will recall if they have a few years under their crucifix (like the Movie Man) is Bela Lugosi’s Dracula from 1931. It’s still superbly atmospheric and stood as the template for decades. Before Bela, many other versions – all silent – were produced. The most famous and best was Nosferatu in 1922. That movie, staring Max Schreck, portrays the vampire as all pointy and rat-faced; pick up any book on undead cinematic history and you’ll find that photo right off the bat. (Oh, Movie Man! You still got it!) A later generation born decades past Bela find their favorite Dracula in 1957’s Horror of Dracula, a shocking for its time remake starring Christopher Lee and made by the notorious Hammer Studios in England. It was a monstrous hit and soon the studio began churning out remakes of the old Universal Studios classics. Another generational touchstone vampire movie came along with the graphic 1992 version by Francis Ford Coppola, Dracula. The hard R was deserved and the movie took the metaphor of blood equals life to heart; this movie is plenty gory. It also holds the honor of staying closest to the original book by Bram Stoker. Critically, it’s a bloodbath when it comes to naming the best Dracula movie. The Movie Man will put a vote in for the 1979 Dracula starring Frank Langella who was reprising his popular stage role. But there are plenty who find that one hokey and dated. Most reviewers hail the original, the Hammer, and then the 1992 film – in that order. Only hardcore vampire lovers have seen Dracula’s appearance in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948), Dracula’s Dog (1978), the satire Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995, a Mel Brooks misfire), or the bizarre Andy Warhol’s Dracula (aka Blood for Drac-

ula) a 1974 3-D, X-rated (now an R) gorefest. Some folks have fond memories of the “Blaxploitation” classics Blacula (1972) and its groovy sequel Scream Blacula Scream (1973), mid-stream Universal fright features like House of Dracula (1945), and even later Hammer entries like Dracula Has Risen From the Grave (1968) which features a funny one-sheet poster of a woman with two Band-Aids on her neck above the title followed by the word “Obviously.” So there are all kinds of Draculas out there and more will surely come. Maybe even another version of Dracula Untold. While the movie has nothing to do with the source material, it finished second in the week with a nice take of over $24 million – so the sequel set up at the end might just continue the bloodsucker’s cinematic reign. The plot (spoilers) Vlad (Luke Evans) was snatched as a child and raised as a fierce Turk warrior. He was so fanatical in his killing as an adult that eventually just the mention of his name would send rival soldiers scattering. But Evans has a change of heart and becomes a peaceful man and ruler of a small kingdom. Unfortunately, the Turks come calling and need more children to train as warriors in their never-ending quest to take over the earth. And Evans has a son. Out-numbered by a zillion to one, Evans must find a way to protect his family and people against impossible odds. The answer is in a creepy cave populated with human skulls and a floor comprised of crushed bones. A creature lives there. That demon says it will give Evans super-human strength that will allow him to defeat the Turks. But he has only three days. And if he dares drink any

Movie Man human blood in that span, Evans will become a vampire forever. Sure enough, Evans puts the hurt on some of the advancing hordes. But his lust for blood rises constantly, even with his wife Mirena (Sarah Gadon) whose heartbeat he can see pulsing constantly. Still, Evans resists her and all other potential victims as 100,000 Turks attack his castle. While Evans’ powers are fading as the end of day three nears, Gadon suffers a fatal fall. Barely alive, she knows the only way to save Vlad’s kingdom is to offer up her blood. A distraught Evans drinks. Then he battles mightily, but he still needs help. So, he turns his own surviving army cohorts into vampires and they succeed. But there’s still one human alive – his son. And his once faithful soldiers circle the boy… What works Going in, the Movie Man was ready to cast this Dracula into the ho-hum bin. But it’s very good early; in fact, the first 30 minutes or so are cool. Evans does a good job in his swarthy role. When he’s infected, he’s one angry, violent dude. The cave-bound demon, Charles Dance, is made up to

look a lot like an elderly Christopher Lee. It’s very effective. The turning-fellow-soldiersinto-vampires was a nice bit, too. Director Gary Shore in his first feature keeps things tooling right along and manages the impressive computer generation successfully.

But he also knows that the creature’s strength is his only hope since it has also slain 100 Turks. Their encounter in the eerie

Poet, songwriter, rancher... cowboy Azle’s Steagall on his life, career, and the cowboy way by carla noah stutsman He may be most famous for his 1976 hit song “Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills Music,” but Red Steagall says the love of poetry has always been a part of his being. Steagall, who lives on a ranch outside Azle with his wife, Gail, will host the 24th Annual Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering and Western Swing Festival in the Fort Worth Stockyards Oct. 24-26. Widely acclaimed as the nation’s premier Western Heritage event, the shindig will kick off Saturday, Oct. 18 when wagons begin to circle at the Jack County Sheriff’s Posse Arena in Jacksboro for the Annual Trail Ride and Wagon Train to the Stockyards. The wagon train will make its way from Weatherford up FM 730 to Azle on Wednesday, Oct. 22. Classified as a Heritage Trail Ride, participants will be in authentic clothing and use eraspecific equipment at all times

during the ride. They’ll camp at Ash Creek Stables on South Stewart Street that night before the last leg of the ride Thursday, Oct. 23 into the Stockyards. The Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering and Western Swing Festival will also feature Ranch Rodeo action, a chuck wagon camp and competition, trappings show, cowboy poetry and cowboy music, Ranch Cutting Horse Association Rodeo Finals, youth poetry contest, youth fiddle contest, youth chuck wagon cook-off, Texas Trail of Fame, Cowboy Church, Cowboy Gospel concert, and Western Swing dances. Get details for the event at http://redsteagallcowboygathering.com/.

area in Montague County home. Red was born in Gainesville, and his family moved to the oilfields in Sanford, on the Canadian River, when he was three years old. When he was five, his mother entered him in a talent contest, and he recited a poem. The music didn’t come until later – after a bout with polio at age 15 that left him with no use of his left arm and fingers. His mother bought him a mandolin to help with his rehabilitation. “Several months went by before I willed myself to use my fingers to make chords,” Steagall says. “Then she bought me a guitar when I graduated from Phillips High School.” Before long, he put together a college band that played dances in and around Canyon, near Amarillo, where Steagall attended West Texas A&M. It was there he earned a degree in animal science and agronomy in 1960. For five years after college, Steagall worked as an agricultural chemist, but he drolly admits that he never really enjoyed selling fertilizer. When some friends who had been very successful in the rockabilly genre began “stirring up some dust” out in California, they invited Steagall to join them on the West Coast. He hooked up a five-foot by seven-foot U-Haul trailer to his 1964 SuperSports Impala convertible and pointed it toward Hollywood.

cording artists had already recorded 60 of his songs. “Things just grew from there – I had 26 records in a row on the national charts, and traveled all over the world in mainstream country music,” Steagall says. “But by 1985, sad songs and waltzes quit selling.” That’s when he discovered the First Annual Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada. “I went out there to see what is was all about – I didn’t realize that’s where my heart reSongwriting and poetry ally was,” says Steagall. “I’d For the next eight years, never allowed myself to write Steagall worked in the music poetry because I was a profespublishing business.

take away from those creative juices to write something I couldn’t get recorded to help me make a living.” For five years after his trip to Elko, Steagall says he didn’t write a single song. “I just wrote poetry.” It was the beginning of his idea for the Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering, which includes cowboy poetry competitions and performances.

The cowboy way the sound of that train put us to sleep – we only wrote one song.” As it turned out, that one song – “I’m Not Your Kind of Girl” – was enough to launch one of the greatest country music careers in history. “When Jackie and Reba came to Nashville, Reba and I recorded that song and one other for a demo,” Steagall says. “I pitched that record around Nashville, and a fella that was working for me named Joe Light got the attention of Glenn Keener at Mercury Records. “He signed her up, and the rest is history.” Steagall says he knows Reba has been influenced by others in the years since then, but says she has maintained an ability to listen to the opinions of others and then decide what’s best for her. “I admire her, and I love her more than I can express,” Steagall says of his red-haired protégé. “She’s very, very special in my world.”

rented a suite in whatever hotel the cowboys were staying in, and we’d break our guitars out and sing at night,” Steagall recounts. “Reba’s mother, Jackie, stopped me in the hallway one night and asked if she could bring her little girl in to sing.” He immediately agreed. “She brought this little redhaired, freckle-faced girl in and sat her down beside me,” Steagall continued. “When she started singing harmony with me, I just got cold chills.” He invited Jackie to bring her daughter to Nashville, where he lived, and early in 1975, she did just that. But in the meantime, Steagall and his friend and fellow songwriter Glen Sutton had taken a 24-hour train ride from Amarillo to Memphis. “The idea was to write songs on this trip. I’d written a letter to the president of the Rock Island Rail Line, and they put a special caboose at the end of the train, Steagall explained.

That’s the year he staked his claim on the Parker County ranch he still calls home. It’s also the year he married Gail, on Aug. 2. A month later, he hired his assistant, Debbie Bowen. “So for 37 years, it’s been like having two wives,” Steagall jokes. He admits to loving the peo-

ple and everything else about Parker County, and says he doesn’t ever intend to leave his home here. “We’re just so honored to get such support for our Cowboy Gathering – most events don’t last 24 years,” he says. The Gathering has a large audience, especially from west of Fort Worth, who love to live the old days vicariously through the

annual celebration of cowboy life. “Our trail ride from Fort Griffin to Fort Worth really attracts the attention of people in small towns to the west,” Steagall said. “Sometimes it holds up traffic, but even though that can be annoying, it’s something you’re not going to see anywhere else. It’s a part of our heritage.”

Steagall said he and all the participants of the event like to consider themselves as doing all they can to preserve the history, heritage, traditions, and values of the cowboy way of life. “This economy and this community of North Texas was built on the backs of longhorn steers and good saddle horses,” Steagall says.
