Another Banner Comes Down

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN A Reno city council member was prevented from attending an executive session – during which the council discussed that member and his behavior – at a city council meeting Monday evening, Oct. 19. “Everyone needs to be aware that we may need to do something different this evening that’s not our usual practice,” Mayor Lynda Stokes said. “Because of threats of litigation, it may be necessary to exclude a council member from executive session because of those issues.” Another banner comes down downtown off the Square – in fact, it was for the Square...the Square Deal.

Springtown PC courthouse getting new deputy The Parker County Sheriff’s Offi ce is adding a uniformed station deputy to the Parker County North Annex, located at 1020 East SH 199 in Springtown, beginning Monday, Oct. 26. Deputy Mike DeWitt has the experience to man the position and will handle all security, walk-in station complaints and reports, said PC Sheriff Larry Fowler. “The position was created in an ef-

fort to adapt to the county growth, while saving tax dollars,” Fowler said. “Current Courthouse Sheriff’s Deputy Ruben Pasamonte stationed at the Springtown location is retiring Friday, leaving the position open. “It’s a simple solution. We wanted to adjust the position to accommodate the need for deputy services, and better utilize the position for the community while serving the citizens,”

Fowler continued. DeWitt will serve dual duties as a courthouse deputy and a station deputy. Beginning Monday, all sex offenders residing in Parker County will need to report to DeWitt. Annual registrations for sex offenders will now be conducted at the new location in Springtown instead of the former location at the Sheriff’s Offi ce in Weatherford.

The new deputy’s hours will be Monday through Friday from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. The number to contact the station deputy for Parker County north area reports, call backs, complaints, and for sex offender’s registry, is 817-5948845. The current station deputy’s position at the Sheriff’s Offi ce in Weatherford will be rotated by existing depu-

ties, eliminating the need for another position. “Although we are happy for the retirement and service of Deputy Ruben Pasamonte, we are sad to see him leave,” Sheriff Fowler said. “His leaving creates a need. This new decision is a win/win situation all around,” Sheriff Fowler said. “We couldn’t be more pleased with this resolution.”

Museum to detail tale of 2 doctors BY NATALIE GENTRY The Springtown Legends Museum program scheduled for 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 29 will be presented by Legends President Gloria Elam. In her book, An American Heritage Story, Elam wrote about two historic physicians named Dr. Robert Peebles and Dr. Richard Rogers Peebles. Both doctors played a signifi cant role in the fi ght for Texas Independence and in the Texas Republic. One of the interesting facts about the doctors is that they were often mistaken by historians as being the same person since their names were similar, and they were often referred to simply as Dr. R. Peebles. In establishing their true identities and signifi cant contributions to Texas, Elam felt

a book about their lives would help. The as-yet unpublished book A Tale of Two Doctors – And Other Unsung Heroes of Texas tells stories of the doctors and also shows their close relation-

ships with other “makers” of Texas history and of Stephen F. Austin. Sometimes called the Father of Texas, Austin is often an unsung hero in all that he did for the state. Austin’s close relationship with Dr. Robert Peebles is revealed in the book, as is Peebles’ saving of Texas deeds, documents, and other important papers by taking all of it to New Orleans prior to Santa Anna’s invasion of San Felipe de Austin. Elam will give a presentation

with photos of the two doctors as well as other important heroes of that period of time. Also to be discussed: the Texas Ark of the Covenant and what it is all about. Other interesting historical tidbits included in the presentation are who the richest man in Texas was prior to the Civil War and what Texas town he founded, and how the founder of Borden Milk played an important part in the fi ght for Texas Independence. The museum is located at 839 North Main.

Dr. Richard Peebles...or is it?

Reno council at odds; annexation discussed n RENO, FROM PAGE ONE.

City attorney Walt Leonard told the council there are certain circumstances in which council may want to restrict attendance. “If a particular person or officer of the city, by attending, would potentially raise a conflict because of threatened litigation or similar such items, the council has the power to limit attendance,” Leonard told the council. On a motion from council member Bonnie Black, the council convened in executive session and limited the attendance of Place 2 member John Basham, who voted his opposition. When the council reconvened after about 53 minutes, Eric Hunter told those in attendance that a senior city employee had been approached by Basham, who asked for the employee’s support for re-election in May. Hunter said he feels that was an improper action that could create a hostile work environment and even the possibility of retaliation. In a motion, Hunter requested Stokes ask city staff to create a policy against such action with sanctions, and his motion included a request to censure Basham. The motion passed with Basham again voting opposition to the measure. Then Black spoke at length. She claimed Basham has, since his election to the council in May, made a series of accusations against both the city and the council based on “powers of oversight.” “By state law, the powers of oversight are vested in the Mayor, and his concerns should

have been brought to her for in- gations of quotas “showboating vestigation,” Black told those and attempting to create a sensation.” at the meeting.

ther raised me to treat women with respect. “I don’t know who you think you are, but this is going to stop, and it’s going to stop now. Thank you,” Mr. Stokes said. Basham responds John Basham says he wears the council’s action of censure as a badge of honor. “While the vote on its surface was to censure me, in fact it was more clearly aimed at trying to censor me,” Basham wrote in an email the day after the meeting. “Since my election to office in May, this council and some appointed officials of the city have done everything in their power to limit, curtail, or restrain my access to city records, property, and employees. “Reno is well known for its tumultuous political past, including rumors of corruption and police misconduct. I have taken each and every report made to me by citizens or employees seriously and continue to investigate what we’re doing wrong as a city and what we’re doing right. “Sadly, since taking office I have found what appear to be a few incidents of possible illegal activity by elected and appointed officials. This appears to be the exception rather than the rule, but in doing my sworn oath to uphold the laws of this state I must and have forwarded my findings to the proper investigative authorities. “Most recently I was approached by a Reno police officer who feared reprisal after trying to report official misconduct up his proper chain of command. He provided me with audio recordings that allegedly contained city officials,

both elected and appointed, attending a meeting where possible illegal activity occurred. “After receiving the tapes, I requested advice from the City’s attorney on what I should do with this potential evidence. He told me he could not advise me on the matter as he did not represent a single council person, but the city as a whole. “Shortly after my communication with the city attorney, the elected and appointed officials contained on that tape were notified of my request to the attorney. Within 48 hours, the city council put out an agenda aiming to censure me. Not once did any member of the council, the mayor, or city attorney ask for copies of the recordings to verify any possible wrong-doing. “I have no intention of being intimidated or restricted from doing my elected duty for the people of Reno. If they feel I have done a bad job, they will not elect me for another term. “In the meantime, I have every intention of changing Reno’s reputation as a ‘good ol’ boy’ city where corruption and illegal activity is okay. No more. It’s time to stop the politics and do our sworn duties to uphold the law.”

Other business In other business, the council conducted the second and final public hearings related to the annexation of a half-mile portion of FM 730 North, beginning at the current city limit and extending northward, as well as the annexation of a half-mile portion of SH 199 beginning at the current city limit and extending westward. Mayor Stokes and city staff agreed that the annexations would help efforts to prevent the city of Fort Worth from annexing Reno, and encouraged those whose property touches the areas to be annexed to petition the city of Reno for voluntary annexation. The council voted to formalize its contract with Big Mike’s Wrecker Service. Apparently, that contract went on a monthto-month basis several years ago. The council also adopted a $25 warrant fee after Leonard explained that it would not affect people who received a traffic citation and “take care of it.” Polino advised the council that at the current rate of about 600 warrants per year, the city could add $15,000 to its general fund revenue as a result of this fee.

I have found the hippies – and it’s pretty far out

e stumbled upon a happening. Happenings used to be cool. They date back to the groovy Sixties when there were all kinds of happenings – sit-ins, marches, music jams, performance art. In fact, happenings often involve art. And that’s what we found as we ambled down a sidewalk in Hanalei, Kauai on vacation. A small business was jammed with people – far out, peace-love-and-happiness folks who so desperately want the vibe from 1967 to continue. The store was classic Kauai. Hawaii is where the hippies ended up. It’s not

Peasant blouses were carefully painted with swirls and whirls. But the real happening was in the back room. We heard music; there, on a small stage, drummers thumped out a beat while strangers harmonized together in a mantra-like drone accompanied by a sitar. In that back room, the place was packed – with people painting/writing/drawing on white walls. Markers and paints were available and everyone was encouraged to ex-

press themselves on the walls. And they did. Future five-yearold hippies drew at the lower levels. Charles Manson-looking hippies wrote things like “U R god” and “Make your own universe.” Naturally, I picked up a marker. I can draw one thing, learned in seventh grade art in 1969 – a falling rock. In the spirit of freakdom, I also recalled how to write “Peace” in balloony Peter Max-y letters. So, I left behind a rock falling on the word peace. Maybe that’s a mixed message but, hey, it was a happening and it remained for the Hawaiian love children to interpret. Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor, and he chuckled while watching a very nervous traveling companion keep inching toward the exit.

Farm Bureau urges voting

even amendments to the Texas Constitution will be submitted for voter consideration during the general election on Tuesday, Nov. 3, according to Parker County Farm Bureau President Don Smelley. “It’s the duty of every U. S. citizen to exercise their right to vote,” Smelley said. “Let your voice be heard, because each one of these propositions can directly affect you.” The seven propositions include everything from raising the homestead exemption to dedicating more sales tax revenue to the state highway fund. Texas Farm Bureau specifically sup-

ports Propositions 1, 6 and 7: • Proposition 1 would grant an additional $10,000 exemption (from $15,000 to 25,000) from the appraised value of a residence homestead for adults who are disabled or at least 65 years old. • Proposition 6 would amend the Bill of Rights of the Texas Constitution to establish the right to hunt, fish and harvest wildlife in Texas. • Proposition 7 would direct up to $2.5 billion of any sales tax proceeds in excess of $28 billion to the state highway fund. It would also dedicate 35 percent of the motor vehicle sales, use or rental tax collected in excess of $5 billion starting Sept. 1, 2019. The

proposition would cost an estimated $2.5 billion in general revenue in each fiscal year in 2018-19 and $2.9 billion in fiscal year 2020. The state’s largest farm organization is neutral on the other four propositions. “Farm Bureau is a grassroots organization that advocates for policies important to its members,” Smelley said. “We urge all Parker County residents to make informed decisions and get out and vote on Nov. 3.” Early voting is set for Oct. 19-30 and Election Day is Nov. 3. A comprehensive explanation of all seven propositions can be found at http:// www.hro.house.state.tx.us/pdf/focus/ amend84,pdf.

The Texas Rangers: They rode straight up to death

n 1935, Walter Prescott Webb wrote about his preparation to write his book, The Texas Rangers. “In 1835 the Texas Rangers were organized and given legal status while Texas was in the midst of revolution against Mexico. Their almost continuous service to 1935, when they were absorbed in a larger organization, indicates that the need for them has been persistent while their changing functions reflect the evolution of the society they protected from its primitive beginning as a frontier community to a commonwealth of five million people. Though his duties have varied from decade to decade, the Ranger has been throughout a fighting man. “It was Eugene Manlove Rhodes who suggested that the Western man – he was speaking of the cowboy – can be understood only when studied in relation to his work. And so it is with the Ranger. When we see him at his daily task of maintaining law, restor-

pistol smoke. Surely enough has been written about men who swagger, fan hammers, and make hip shots. No Texas Ranger ever fanned a hammer when he was serious, or made a hip HISTORICAL shot if he had HIGHLIGHTS time to catch a sight. Laurie Moseley “The real Ranger has been a very quiet, deliberate, gentle person who could gaze calmly into the eye of a murderer, divine his thoughts, and anticipate his action, a man who could ride straight up to death. In fatal encounter – the last resort of a good officer – the Ranger has had the unhurried courage to take the extra fraction of a second essential to accuracy which has at a

premium in the art and the science of Western pistology. “The smoke from such a man’s hand was a vagrant wisp and never the clouds read of in books written for those who love to smell powder smoke vicariously. “The method of telling the story of the Rangers at work has the added merit of revealing the relative stature of the workman. From the records emerge in successive chapters the dominant figures who have shaped the tradition and made the story what it is by their achievements. “Because of two destructive fires, the official records for the early period are scant, but the records for the period since the Civil War are abundant. Through manuscript and printed sources from the basis, other records have been used freely. With assiduity I have sought out the veterans and heard their accounts. “Men in active service have given me their frijoles and bread and black coffee. They have suffered me to

When we remember that it was his duty to deal with the criminal in the dangerous nexus between the crime and the capture, when the criminal was in his most desperate mood, we must realize that neither the rules nor the weapons were of the Ranger’s choosing. “It has been his duty to meet the outlaw breed of three races – the Indian warrior, Mexican bandit, and American desperado – on the enemy’s ground and deliver each safely into the jail door or the cemetery gate. It is here recorded that he has sent many patrons to both places. “As strange as it may seem in some quarters, the Texas Ranger has been throughout the century a human being, and never a mere automaton animating a pair of swaggering boots, a big hat, and a six-shooter all moving across the prairies under a cloud of

They are masters of brevity when they speak of themselves – as economical of words as of pistol smoke. “‘We had a little shooting and he lost’ was the one told story of a personal encounter. They do not respond to direct questions of a personal nature, and it is best not to ask them. ‘I have been accused once,’ responded one whose exploits would fill a book. ‘We were camped out on the Pecos. A norther came up, I pulled the cover off, and he froze to death.’ “From the official records I have obtained the official facts, but from the living man I have, I trust, caught something of the spirit of an institution.” Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown. He is the director of Springtown’s Legends Museum.

Revenue estimate reflects slowdown in energy sector

exas Comptroller Glenn Hegar on Oct. 14 announced the release of his office’s Certification Revenue Estimate. The “CRE” is an update to the Biennial Revenue Estimate, a document that gives state lawmakers a good idea of how much revenue will be available for general-purpose spending in 2016-2017, the next twoyear state budget period. The CRE, Hegar said, reflects “any new laws from the session that could affect state revenue, as well as the most current fiscal and economic data.” The 140-day legislative session concluded four and half months ago, on June 1. The new CRE shows a 2.3 percent decline in the estimate of revenues available for general-purpose spending from $113 billion to a revised figure of $110.4 billion. The figure primarily reflects our most current estimates of oil and natural gas

prices and continuing weakness in Texas’ energy sector, Hegar said, adding that his office anticipates “no trouble in absorbing this reduction in available revenue.”

Additionally, select driver license offices will be open on Saturday, Oct. 24, to issue EICs only. More information on voting in Texas is posted at votetexas. gov.

Early voting period begins Early voting for the Nov. 3 Election began Monday, Oct. 19, and runs through Friday, Oct. 30. To cast a ballot in person, voters must present an approved form of photo identification. The state’s chief elections officer, Texas Secretary of State Carlos Cascos, pointed out that age 65 and older and people with disabilities are automatically qualified to vote by mail and the last day to request a ballot by mail is Friday, Oct. 23. Voter ID may be obtained The Texas Department of Public Safety on Oct. 13 posted a reminder that for individuals in need of proper identification It’s School Bus Safety Week required to vote, Texas driver The Texas Department of license offices are the place to Public Safety recently reget an Election Identification minded drivers that it is illegal

to pass any school bus that is stopped and operating a visual signal, either flashing red lights or a stop sign. The reminder came in advance of National School Bus Safety Week, Oct. 19-23. “DPS urges drivers to make the safety of our children a priority whenever they travel near school buses and DPS will not tolerate those who break the law and put our children at risk. Remember, children are particularly vulnerable when entering or exiting a school bus,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. Education chief resigns Texas Education Commissioner Michael L. Williams on Oct. 15 resigned effective Jan. 1 from his post as the head of the Texas Education Agency. Williams was appointed by then-governor Rick Perry on Sept. 1, 2012. The Midland native’s history as a public servant includes service as a member of the Texas

Railroad Commission, as U.S. Department of Education assistant secretary of education for civil rights, as U.S. Department of the Treasury deputy assistant secretary for law enforcement, as a federal prosecutor and as an assistant district attorney. Jobs number grows again The Texas Workforce Commission on Oct. 16 announced Texas added jobs in September for the seventh month of job growth in 2015. The state agency reported 26,600 nonfarm seasonally adjusted jobs were added last month after a decrease of 3,400 jobs in August. Since September 2014, state payrolls have increased by some 224,800 positions. Texas’ seasonally adjusted unemployment rate increased to 4.2 percent in September from 4.1 percent in August. Meanwhile, the current national unemployment rate stands at 5.1 percent, as calculated by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.

Governor declares disaster Gov. Gregg Abbott signed a proclamation on Oct. 15, declaring a state of disaster in Bastrop County. “As severe wildfires continue to impact Bastrop County, I strongly urge Texans in that area to take all possible precautions to ensure their safety. By declaring a state of disaster in Bastrop County, the State of Texas is activating resources to help affected communities as efficiently and as effectively as possible,” Abbott said. The Federal Emergency Management Agency has approved a Fire Management Assistance Grant request, meaning that Texas will be eligible for 75 percent reimbursement from the federal government for costs associated with fighting the fire, Abbott added. Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

Judge says vote yes on Proposition 7 Nov. 3

he November 3rd Constitutional Amendment Election Ballot, will have seven propositions for voters to consider. All but one of the amendments affects a specified group of citizens. The one amendment that affects the lives of all Texans is Proposition 7. Prop 7, if approved, will allow the use of a specified amount of future sales tax monies to be transferred to the state highway fund for the purpose of constructing transportation projects, and reducing transportation debt. Building of toll roads with this money is prohibited. In fiscal year 2014, the state collected about $27.3 billion in sales tax. Prop 7 provides that once the sales tax collections reach $28 billion, the next $2.5 billion is transferred to the highway fund. In the event the Texas economy slows down, and sales taxes drop below the $28 billion, no money is transferred. Funding for current programs is not affected. There are those

who are distorting the facts and claiming this sales tax money is being taken from other programs. There is nothing further from the truth. In some parts of the state, this proposition is being used to pit critical transportation needs against education and social services funding. That is unfortunate. The facts are clear. Texans pay a state fuel tax of 20 cents per gallon. Of the total tax collected, 25 percent goes to public education, 5.7 cents is divided between the State Office of Administrative Hearings, the Attorney General (TxDOT legal services) and the Texas A&M Transportation Institute (research). After the diversions, 9.3 cents remains of the state fuel tax for funding of the state-wide transportation system and paying associated debt costs. There are many Texans who believe, and rightfully so, the diversions should end. It is easier said than done. In the November 5, 1946 Constitutional Amendment Election, voters approved dedicating 25 percent of fuel taxes to education. Therefore, anoth-

er election would be required to change the allocation. As for the other diversions – if the legislature were to travel that road – there must be funding to replace those fuel dollars currently diverted. Not an easy task, but over multiple sessions and continued economic growth, it can be done. Prop 7 will also allocate to the highway fund a portion of the motor vehicle sales tax beginning in 2020. As Texas continues to experience economic prosperity, we must stay focused on the critical elements that make our state great. Infrastructure is one of those priorities. A good transportation system is one of the best economic engines available. Approval of Proposition 7 will not increase taxes. Proposition 7 will not build more toll roads. Proposition 7 will pave the way for future generations to enjoy the Texas quality of life.

XC Results

Porcupines blow by Diamond Hill-Jarivs By mArk k. cAmPBEll It was a good time for Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis to show up on the schedule. Springtown (3-4, 1-1), after a pair of brutal games against talented squads, got a chance to recover and rest some players in a 56-0 swamping of the Eagles. With Austin Bauman under center, SHS scored early and fast, piling up 23 first quarter points and adding 13 more in the second period to lead 41-0 at the half. Most of those points came off Bauman’s arm. He threw five TD passes to

account for the initial touchdowns. Hauling in those aerials were Mateo Herrera – who caught the first two and continues his exceptional season – Suliman Uddin, Tre Steen, and Brandon Santos. Meanwhile, the Eagles could not move the ball, tallying only 2 first downs and 25 total offensive yards in the game. Things ramp up quickly, however, since Alvarado comes to town for a game that will almost certainly decide second place out of 5-4A. Last year, SHS beat the Indians 27-24 with 26 seconds left.

Volleyball secure in 2nd in 5-4A By mArk k. cAmPBEll Solidly in second place. That’s a fine slot considering volleyball powerhouse Decatur resides in 5-4A. Springtown (18-13, 4-1) continued to take care of business against other district teams and will soon be playoff bound. The Lady Porcupines improved to 3-0 in district on Oct. 6 with a sweep of Lake Worth. Ashton Weaver continued to

be the squad’s big hitter, hammering down 17 kills. A 0-3 loss to Decatur followed. Still coach Leighann Strickland said, “We truly played well even if it was a loss.” She lauded her squad for “stepping up” and showing SHS’ talent. “We fought and at one point had them down 11-3,” she recalled.

The Decatur match ended round one of 5-4A. Round two began with a another sweep of Castleberry. “We looked good, ran some good options, and served well,” the coach said. Everything points to the Decatur rematch on the road Oct. 27 in the regular season finale. Subvarsities – The JV (13-7, 6-0) rolled over every district foe.

Only Lake Worth sent the SHS JV to three games. Coach Hannah Adams said her team played “great” in that 2-1 victory over the Lady Frogs. Springtown continues to serve rivals off the floor. The 9th (21-1) also is smoking all comers; SHS swept Decatur and Castleberry easily. “The girls play great as a team,” Coach Missy Castro said.

The Indians are having a fine season. After a startling opening game loss, Alvarado has won every one since, including victories over Brownwood and Stephenville. SHS Brian Hulett said, “They are very well coached and play physical football. We will have our hands full. We have told our kids that this is another opportunity against a top 15 team. We must do a better job of creating turnovers and of taking care of the ball.”

It’s fall, ya’ll!

There are over 45 different varieties of pumpkin.

They range in color like red, yellow, and green, and have names like Hooligan, Cotton Candy, and Orange Smoothie.

“Autumn is a second spring when every leaf is a flower.” – Albert Camus

Pumpkins are 90 percent water

And that makes them low calorie. One cup of canned pumpkin only has 83 calories and only half a gram of fat.

Pumpkins are fruits.

More specifi cally, they are a winter squash in the family Cucurbitacae, which includes cucumbers and melons.

H ogle

Insurance Group 817-444-0561

www.HogleInsurance.com

The word “pumpkin” showed up for the first time in the fairy tale Cinderella

A French explorer in 1584 fi rst called them “gros melons,” which translates into Latin as “pepon,” meaning “large melon.” It wasn’t until the 17th century that they were first referred to as pumpkins.
