Beyond the stacks Digital age requires expanded roles and resources in the SHS Library

By Natalie Gentry Since the time of the Library of Alexandria in ancient Egypt the defining role of libraries has been as an archive of books.

However, with the rise of the digital age in the 21st century, libraries face a momentous challenge: Readers are increasingly moving away from bound books to digital screens for information and entertainment.

Librarians throughout the country are adapting to this change by reimagining the library.

At Springtown High School, Librarian and Media Specialist Jennifer Pennington understands this shift and has been working to keep up with the ever-expanding ocean of information and its many formats.

“We offer the traditional books, including fiction, nonfiction, and yes we still have some reference material, Pennington said. “We also have William Biedenbender and Christian Nelson read or search the Internet at the charging station in the 28 computer stations, so students can SHS library during lunch.

a computer for projects and so forth.”

004.6 More than a computer lab Pennington noted that this year the library was removed from the high school’s lab rotation.

“In other words we try not to use the library for a computer lab,” she said.

“Instead we try to keep these computers open for students who drop in and need to work on projects, papers, et cetera.

“This [change] has been great for our students this year; many of our teachers are using more online tools and requiring more from the students online.”

Library computers are now free for students who may not have computers at home. In addition, the library hours have been extended. It now opens 7:45 in the morning and closes at 4 p.m. with additional hours on Wednesdays.

A different kind of playoff hunt Hornback seeks teams to play at Porcupine Stadium by mark k. Campbell Carl Hornback likes the playoffs – for Springtown and for the football venue he oversees.

Responsible for Porcupine Stadium, Hornback began months ago contacting area coaches to entice them to play their postseason games at the Springtown ISD facility.

But there’s lots of competition, he said.

“It’s been very difficult,” he said. “I started emailing coaches about week two, but it’s very competitive with so few games in the area.”

The lack of games is due to last February’s University Interscholastic League realignment.

“The geography is way different with the new alignments,” Hornback said.

“In each division, we are either the far eastern edge of Region I or the far western edge of Region 2. And in one division, we are actually far north in Region 3.”

That conundrum means hearty competition for games that are nearby.

Hornback said this week’s bi-district slate of bi-district contests is 12 in the 2A to 5A range – and upscale facilities like Porcupine Stadium are vying with similar stadiums in Aledo, Weatherford, Mineral Wells, and Fort Worth.

Hornback looks for postseason games ranging from 2A to 5A since “6A is too big for us.”

Springtown has scored a game this Friday night, a crucial 5A clash with Lake Worth facing Wichita Falls.

Old High likes to play in Springtown Hornback said. “Wichita Falls loves to come here. Coach [Danny] Russell and his guys are top notch, and I think Lake Dallas will be, also.”

With such a convergence into Springtown, “this game should bring a lot of people into the community on Friday,” Hornback said.

A chance to host Grapevine vs. WF Rider fell through because Grape-

Azle Christian School Coach Gary Rushing, who spent years coaching in the Springtown ISD, talks with Crusaders in last year’s title game. ACS plays at Porcupine Stadium Saturday morning in a sixman semifinal clash. Photo by Mark K. Campbell vine would not play on Thursday even though Rider wanted to, Hornback said.

On Saturday, Azle Christian School, led by former SHS coach Gary Rushing, will play its Texas Christian Athletic Fellowship six-man semifinal contest at Porcupine Stadium at 10 a.m.

Another semifinal follows then comes the six-man junior high championship, both TCAF.

Afterward, at 7 p.m., a UIL six-man game brings May and Tioga to Springtown.

The dearth of games grows next week, however.

“I see a possibility of three games in the entire area,” he said.

Hornback said he has a line on one of those games, but both teams must approve the site for it to be finalized and

that has not happened yet.

For sure, Porcupine Stadium will again host the TCAF title game on Saturday, Nov. 22 as it has done for years.

But finding UIL games will be a chore.

“Maybe during the area rounds – when the regions come together – we will be in better shape to host,” Hornback said.

‘Bay considers abolishing VFD Reno welcomes new city secretary Vote slated Nov. 24 on contract with Briar VFD by carla noah stutsman The regular monthly meeting of the Pelican Bay city council didn’t take place Monday, Nov. 10, as scheduled.

The consent agenda for the meeting included the approval of minutes from the Oct. 27 meeting, approval of the monthly police report and approval of the ordinance and animal control monthly report.

Items for deliberation included the review, discussion and possible action to terminate the contract between the city and the Pelican Bay Volunteer Fire Department, as well as the review, discussion and possible action to enter into a contract between the city and the Briar Volunteer Fire Department.

However, immediately after calling the meeting to order, Mayor Bill Morley said, “This meeting is over before it even starts.”

Morley explained that a proposed contract from the Briar VFD had only been received 30 minutes earlier, and that he wanted the city’s legal counsel to review it before proceeding.

He stated the matter would be taken up at a meeting Monday, Nov. 24, and then adjourned the meeting.

Reached by phone Tuesday, Nov. 11, Morley said the Briar contract actually arrived at city hall about 6 p.m.

Monday evening. The city’s attorney arrived at 6:20 p.m.

Following a brief review of the contract, the city attorney identified some changes he felt needed to be made and the decision was made to cancel the meeting, work out some changes with Briar VFD’s attorney, and bring the matter back up at a special meeting to be called Nov. 24.

Morley noted that both the termination of PBVFD’s contract and execution of a contract with Briar VFD

are decisions that will be voted on by the entire city council.

If it comes to pass, Morley explained it would mean closing down the PBVFD – although the building would remain in operation and be available for Briar VFD to use.

Current volunteers for PBVFD would be allowed to apply to volunteer with the Briar VFD, Morley explained.

Morley said he believes the move would help ensure better fire coverage for residents of Pelican Bay, and it would also provide them with emergency first responders through the Briar VFD. Morley also spoke about efforts currently underway to combine the Reno Volunteer Fire Department with the Briar VFD, saying that becoming part of that combined department is something that makes sense for the residents of Pelican Bay.

SHS Library joins the digital age

607.1 Technological expansion The SHS library is now virtually open 24/7 through its website.

Students can access the catalog, databases, announcements, and other information from the SHS Library website.

Pennington pointed out that the library also offers various apps to help students connect.

“We have a Destiny App which allows students to login to their account, see what they have checked out or any fines they owe, as well as search the catalog for books,” Pennington said. “They can place a hold and access our e-books through the Destiny App, and of course [the app] is free.

“We have the Brytewave app that [students] need to install on their device, free as well.

This is the e-reader app. When they are in the Destiny app and choose an e-book, it will open in Brytewave.”

They also have an app called Catalist. This program allows students access to audio books through their device and listen to them.

In addition, the library uses Remind 101 to send out reminders to turn items in. This program allows the library to text return reminders to students.

before the process began and found out that the sub location would soon be shown when a student looks a book up.

“This [fact] helped tremendously, as long as students can find the book, and see the sub location without having to actually go into the record, I knew the plan would work,” she said. “This school year I was so excited when we ran our software updates and saw sub location on the initial search.”

Pennington noted that the process required that they actually touched every single fiction title in this library, gave each a genre sub location, and marked them with a genreidentifying spine sticker.

“Then we shuffled, and shuffled, and shuffled the books on the shelves until the last book was done,” she said. “It was a wonderful way to weed our shelves of books that we had numerous copies of, or are no longer circulating.

“It was a tedious task, but thanks to my student aides and volunteers we were able to pretty much do it in one semester without having to shut the library down. We kept our doors open throughout the entire process.”

025.8 A new take on fiction organization A new trend in collection organization in school libraries around the country is to “genre-fy” the fiction titles or to group the books by their genre like horror, mystery, or classics.

This shelving systems gives the stacks a bookstore feel.

The decision to make this change wasn’t made lightly.

“I heard about doing this about three years ago when I was at the library conference,” Pennington said. “Then I began following a librarian’s blog who decided to do this in her library.

“She had the students involved in helping choose a good genre for the books, and she had some great advice on mistakes she’d made and exactly how she went about the process. Even down to how many genres to offer and how many stickers she had to purchase.”

Pennington said she followed the blogged advice and included library aides during the 2013-2014 school year.

“They were excellent helping me, and I had many students volunteer their expertise as well,” Pennington said. “We 808.3 Encouraging readers Pennington said her only fear have many readers in the high school so it was fun watch- was that students might restrict ing them debate where a book themselves to one genre.

use the library after the school day,” Pennington said.

“We have a printer which allows students to print their work for free; we offer colored prints for a small fee.

“We have materials students are welcome to use for projects, and we have a school store in which students can purchase supplies they may need that day. We also offer scientific calculators for checkout and magazines to read.”

tablets or smart phones, but Pennington noted that few of them have used the apps provided by the library.

“I ‘hear’ many of the students talk about purchasing books and reading books through their device, Pennington said. “However, I haven’t had much success with students using the apps we have for them.

“I started the collection of e-books, knowing we were headed that way. I believe we have about 30-40 books available online. I feel like this collection will continue to grow.”

Pennington said that SHS still has a large population of students that check out hardback books and many who still prefer the traditional way of reading a book.

“It is hard right now to decide what to purchase as an e-book,” she said. “The nice thing about e-books is they never get damaged and students can’t lose them or not return them once they relocate to another school.”

In order to accommodate the many students who use their tablets and phones, Pennington knew the library needed an area with plenty of outlets.

“It’s just another thing you deal with these days. Students do not leave home without some kind of device,” Pennington said “We had our wonderful shop teacher, Mr. [David] Owen, build us a long table, which is placed along our back windows with stools.

“The table was actually built from leftover shelves we had.

Mr. Owens wired it so that we could hook it into electricity and put outlets in it.”

She continued. “I believe there are four or five outlets which students can charge their phones, tablets or ereaders.”

This charging station has been a huge success, according to Pennington: “The station is utilized most often during the lunch periods, but students often come through with a laptop which they

There are many products available to help ease nonallergic rhinitis.

Saline nasal sprays are available over-the-counter (OTC) to help soothe the nasal passage and remove irritants. A prescription corticosteroid spray such as mometasone (Nasonex) may help reduce inflammation in the nasal passage. Antihistamine nasal sprays like azelastine (Astelin) are available by prescription only and can help stop a runny nose and itching. Oral decongestants that contain pseudoephedrine (Sudafed) and phenylephrine (Neo-Synephrine) can help shrink blood vessels in the area of the nose which helps limit congestion. These medications may increase blood pressure, and heart rate. Oxymetazoline (Afrin) nasal spray may be helpful, but it should not be used more than three days because the congestion can worsen and return.

Obituaries

Group’s 100th play set

Lois Gale “Susie” Bartholow 1954-2014

Lois Gale “Susie” Bartholow slipped from this life on Nov. 7, 2014.

A funeral service was held 1 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 12, 2014 at Biggers Funeral Chapel.

Following the service, her request was to be cremated. Visitation from 6 to 8 p.m. Tuesday at the funeral home.

In lieu of flowers, please consider making a donation in her name to the Wise County Animal Shelter.

She was born Aug. 24, 1954, in Amarillo, to Darnell and Phyllis Whitecotton. She

graduated from Boswell High School in 1972 and attended TCU. Everyone referred to her as “Susie,” except for her Daddy who never called her anything but Lois Gale.

She loved her grandchildren wholeheartedly. Answering to “Nana B.” she read to them, played with them, sang to them, made their favorite foods and represented an unconditional love to each one.

She was talented at crocheting and made her grandchildren, nieces, and nephews all of the latest trends from scarves to Halloween costumes. She loved gardening and canning.

In asking her favorite flower, her daddy replied “all of them!”

One of her greatest attributes was her love for animals. She rescued and nursed countless animals back to health and found them forever homes.

Her very presence caused many tails to wag.

She was preceded in death by her mother and grandmother.

Survivors include her

husband and love of her life, Richard Bartholow of Springtown; five children who she held dearly to the end, sons, Rocky Smith and wife, DaLania of Springtown, Joey Larson, and Matt Bartholow, both of Granbury; daughters, Mandi Smith Bowie and husband, Justin Bowie of Springtown, Haley Nagy and husband Zvonimir of Pennsylvania; she is also survived by her grandchildren, Taylor, Nicole, Alex, Reagan, Luka, Amanda and Amber; her sweet daddy and stepmother, Darnell Whitecotton and Tommie Whitecotton of Springtown; and three siblings, Ulis, Glenda, and Teena.

But Parker County sees drop from November 2013 by carla noah stutsman Texas Comptroller Susan Combs distributed November local sales tax allocations totaling $723.1 million to cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts across the state Nov. 5.

Statewide, the November 2014 allocations rose 10.5 percent compared to November 2013. However, in Parker County, the numbers dipped from a year ago.

With the single exception of Parker County, every local entity recognized an increase in its November allocations compared with November 2013.

Parker County’s November check for $609,199 marks a 6.87 percent decrease compared with its November allocation of $654,181.

However, the county’s year-to-date allocations of $6,672,796 are up 4.33 percent compared with the first 11 months of 2013, at which time it had received $6,395,808.

Other taxing entities in the area were more fortunate.

The town of Lakeside continues to ride a one percent voterapproved increase in its sales tax rate. Its sales tax allocations for November are up a whopping 151.25 percent at $16,894 compared with $6,724 for November 2013. The town is up 129.36 percent with $154,270 year-to-date, compared with $67,258 for 2013.

The city of Springtown is up 18.33 percent with November allocations of $89,483, compared with November 2013 allocations of $75,617. Year-to-date, the city is up 3.39 percent with $846,809, compared with $818,968 received in the same period in 2013.

The city of Reno rose 11.80 percent in November with $10,034 when compared with $8,975 in November 2013. That increase, however, is not enough to bring the city equal to its year-to-date allocations of $78,989 in 2013. Reno’s current year-to-date allocations of $78,021 are 1.22 percent lower.

The city of Sanctuary saw a 10.13 percent increase with its November allocations of $1,367 compared with $1,242 in November 2013. The city’s year-to-date allocations of $13,593 are up 8.66 percent when compared to $12,509 for the first 11 months of 2013.

OPINION Thursday, November 13, 2014

www.springtown-epigraph.net

Listening to the deafening sounds of silence

T

he fluid was gurgling in my ear.

Everybody has some sort of weird anomaly with their bodies. Some have hairy backs. Others weird feet. And still others have an extra something or other.

I’m an earwax guy.

It builds up through the years despite my living by the creed of “put nothing smaller than your elbow in your ear.”

(When I was a boy, my mom was the master at digging wax out with a bobby pin. That’s really not a medically approved procedure anymore. [But, like with riding in the back of pickup trucks, drinking whole milk, and eating one million baloney sandwiches on white bread, I managed to survive to adulthood.])

As time goes by, I notice that I can’t

hear too well sometimes. (Earwax build up is a great excuse to answer the Bride as to why I didn’t do something or other. I say “What?! Huh?!” a lot.)

Occasionally, I find myself reclining on my doctor’s butcher paper-covered bed-thingie. Some sort of medical person – I hardly ever see the real doctor; I’m not a millionaire – comes in and puts some drops of something in my ear.

Then I lay on my side for 10 “doctor” minutes (20 in real life) while, courtesy of gravity, those drops take on the herculean task of softening a substance that has been hardening since President Clinton was in office.

Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle goes the fluid past the wax, throughout the various ear bones (from childhood I remember one is the anvil), to my eardrum and, I assume, into my brain.

When the medical person returns,

she has the usual highly professional “ear kit” – I know that’s what it is because that’s what’s scrawled in permanent marker on the end of the plasON YOUR tic tote.

Then comes MARK the fun part: Mark K. Campbell the washout.

Filling a syringe with warm water, she begins squirting it into my ear. It feels wonderful! As the water tries to dislodge the stubborn block of wax, some fluid manages to filter through to the back of the ear canal. It’s like scratching an

unreachable itch – so groovy!

(Old-timers will remember when comics could be funny without being vulgar. Bill Cosby had a routine on his 1970 Sports album about the beauty of delaying scratching jock itch, about how fantastic it was when you finally relented – the water reaching the depths of the ear is like that.)

Anyway, the medical person turned my head into a water balloon, but the blockage refused to release.

I suggested we just “rip it out by the roots” which wasn’t the best word choice, probably. She came back into the room with some sort of long, plastic wand dealie; I wasn’t sure if I was relieved or not that it wasn’t a bobby pin.

As you likely know, someone messing with your ear sounds really weird to you since you’re the only one who can discern the deep-sea noises that

rooting around causes.

With a few minutes of probing and digging, she finally dislodged what had taken me a decade to produce. I knew it was awesome because she gagged a tad.

I have a great picture of the culprit (God bless cellphones). It resembles the chest-ripper creature from the movie Alien only (a little) smaller.

Suddenly, I could hear again! Running later, I cranked up Walkman (yes, Walkman) when the awesome guitar solo at the end of Gerry Rafferty’s “Baker Street” arrived. Far out!

I should be in good shape until, oh, 2024 or so. Beats a hairy back, I say.

Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and had this conversation: Bride: There’s no reason for this to be in the paper! No one wants to read about stupid earwax!

Me: What?! Huh?!

Bride: I hate you.

Letter Democrats must stay strong to stop Republicans After the disastrous mid-term elections, a strong resolve will be needed from Democrats, the Green Party, and all the 99 percent supportive activists.

Our main efforts are to block Republicans’ continued greed legislation.

Through the last six years, although the auto industry was saved and a certain recovery was made in the job market, the overall American individuals’ incomes and retirements and pensions have not recovered.

I just have one question: How does the average American afford a new car, in which the average payments are $500 to $750 a month for six years?

The economic collapse has been long and deep.

Due to the last two years of Congressional Republicans’ vow to obstruct, I hope the people will encourage the president to veto 99 percent of their legislation, and filibuster everything the very same way they have done Democrats.

One good thing – this next two years will allow the Tea Party to show their true colors and their extremist agenda.

I still believe the right wing politicians’ efforts of stealing from the poor the disabled and elderly to give to the corporations and the rich is not a Christian virtue to praise.

The British point of view – American Loyalists, Part 6

T

he U.S. attacked with 2,500 troops at Fort Malden where the only men General Brock had available was 150 British, 150 Indians, and 300 Canadian militia (Loyalists), who knowing their fate if they failed, fought with such determination that another 700 Indians and former slaves joined in to help out repelling the invaders.

“Upper Canada would have been vitally under siege, but for the Federalists in New England and Vermont who wanted nothing to do with this war and continued to trade and supply the British and along with the loyalists in Nova Scotia and New Brunswick helped them to continue to hold out.

Over the next two years the U.S.A. deployed considerably more resources than struggling Britain and Canada were able to, (who’s only ace was a naval blockade) and as a consequence gained territory.

“An interesting factor was that some US troops, mainly those that had travelled all that way from the southern states, then used their right on several

Navy was sent to curtail their activities. The pirates however had anticipated this and took the initiative by scuttling all their ships themselves to seal off the harbor HISTORICAL from attack.

“So to make HIGHLIGHTS sure they had got the point Laurie Moseley the British treated Fort McHenry to a rocket bombardment which together with Mary Pickersgill’s splendid ensign, gave Francis Key the inspiration to write a poem to the melody of an old British drinking song that is now the U.S. national anthem “Thereafter with no sensible land objectives left, the British went on to lose a pivotal battle at Lake Champlain, where Captain Downie was badly let down and killed, then with

the sudden disappearance of a covering mist while advancing through boggy ground they took heavy losses at New Orleans, just a day before news arrived that a peace treaty had been signed weeks earlier, making this the most tragic battle of this ill-conceived war. The war was considered a disaster, predictably the U.S. claimed they had won (as Madison’s neck was on the line), peace was declared and relations were normalized.

“In an effort to try again, to get the Loyalist issues settled, the British gave up most of Maine (the exception was a disputed border area). The U.S. not being content with this then indulged in some posturing and declared the phony Aroostook War. Britain then even conceded most of this disputed area on the solemn understanding that the U.S.A. would make every effort and to earnestly resolve the lingering Loyalist issues.

But true to form they not only reneged on this again, they exposed their vindictive nature by persecuting those amongst them (Federalists) that had opposed the war.

“As one would expect, the audacious USA employed a range of warring tactics, including proving (while on raiding parties) that they were still not above, their old tricks of committing atrocities against Loyalists, at such places as York (Toronto), Port Dover, Port Talbot, Turkey Point, and Long Point. But it’s a tribute to the defenders that the U.S. never achieved a decisive tactical advantage.

“When Napoleon bit off more than he could chew and suffered a major setback in Russia, Britain could at last reinforce her beleaguered Canadian army, to at least match the U.S.A.’s and allow it to go on the offensive.

Firstly, to regain lost territory, then to take Maine. As a reprisal for York, they set fire to all public buildings in Washington, badly scorching the Presidential Mansion, so much so that it had to be white washed; they now call it the White House.

largely ignored the existence of Loyalists, if mentioned at all, they underestimate their numbers (to typically 15-20 percent of population) by conveniently ignoring that, those robbed of everything, made homeless, reduced to mere survival, would have lacked the time or means to record their experiences and as their existence passes from memory, any papers that do exist are scattered and buried under a barrage of opposing jingoism. Therefore an honorable people subjected to the cruelest treatment, forcing all too many of them into suicide, continue to be victimized by a negative portrayal.

“The Loyalists are demonized or dismissed as simply obtuse and their crime of not wanting to live under mob rule, chaos, insecurity, huge debts and the certainty of an ensuing civil war for the next 100 years or so, has in the eyes of the U.S.A., forfeited them any rights.

And their only 'crime' is remaining the ‘Good Americans.’”

Abbott and Patrick voted into top Texas posts

W

inners in the Nov. 4 general election on the whole proved that incumbency and/ or running as a Republican continue to be assets when Texas voters hit the polls.

Democrats Wendy Davis and Leticia Van de Putte lost by wide margins to Republicans Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick for the offices of governor and lieutenant governor, respectively. In the Abbott-Davis race, the spread was 20 points: 59 to 39 percent. Similarly, the spread in the Patrick-Van de Putte race was 19 points: 58 to 39 percent.

Incumbent U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, rebuffed Democratic challenger David Alameel, a Dallas businessman, by a 27 percent margin or

2.85 million votes to Alameel’s 1.59 million.

Incumbents, regardless of party, exacted a near sweep in races for congressional seats. The exception was incumbent freshman U.S. Rep. Pete P. Gallego, D-Alpine, who lost massive Congressional District 23 stretching from El Paso to San Antonio by two percentage points (about 2,500 votes) to Republican Will Hurd of San Antonio.

Republicans to head agencies In the races to head state agencies, Republican state Sen. Ken Paxton of McKinney was elected attorney general, to replace Greg Abbott as the state’s chief law enforcement officer.

What I meant to say...

Y

ou have probably seen some of these classic church bulletin bloopers, but here are a few, just in case you haven’t. I offer these as examples of why every church needs a proofreader before anything goes to print. I offer my commentary on each one because, well…I can.

1. “Bertha Belch, a missionary from Africa, will be speaking tonight at Calvary Methodist. Come hear Bertha Belch all the way from Africa.” (Every 10 year-old boy will think this is the greatest missionary speaker ever.)

2. “Applications are now being accepted for 2 year-old nursery workers.” (It is actually not all that unusual to hear nursery workers crying.)

3. (A two-fer): “Irving Benson and Jessie Carter were married on October 24 in the church. So ends a friendship that began in their school days.”

AND “Let us join David and Lisa in the celebration of their wedding and bring their happiness to a conclusion.” (Someone once told me, “I never knew what true happiness was until I got married. And then it was too late.”)

4. “The ushers will come forward and take our ties and offerings.” (This church is really

serious about t h i s “ c a sual” thing.)

5 .

“The o u t reach committee has enlisted LIFE MATTERS 25 visitors to Gerry Lewis m a k e calls on people who are not afflicted with any church.” (This may be how many people actually feel about those unscheduled knocks on their doors.)

6. Miss Charlene Mason sang “I will not pass this way again” giving obvious pleasure to the congregation. (I’m not sure whether it was Charlene or her singing that rubbed them the wrong way.)

7. Tuesday at 4 p.m. there will be an ice cream social. All ladies giving milk will please come early. (Sometimes “no comment” is better than anything I could add.)

In full disclosure, I will admit that I am not immune to the rush of getting things to print. I once printed the words, “Jesus who died, now GORIFIED” in

the church bulletin. I suppose that is technically true, given the means of His crucifixion, but it was not really in keeping with the spirit of the song that celebrated the reality of “Jesus who died, now GLORIFIED, King of all kings.”

I also once referred, in a sermon, to the “half-native nakeds” pictured in National Geographic magazine. Sometimes words just don’t come out the way you intended.

In church yesterday, I heard this closing encouragement: “Don’t fight on your own. Fight with the church.” I thought to myself (just before I tweeted that quote), “I think I have been in that church!”

I know that he meant, “Don’t struggle with life by yourself.

Let the church have your back.”

He was talking about the value of the community of faith.

The New Testament writers used the phrase “one another” 38 times to describe how followers of Christ should live in community. If we will live out those instructions, our occasional verbal fumbles won’t be a big deal.

Former state Rep. Sid Miller, R-Stephenville, won the race to succeed Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples, over Cleburne farmer and Democrat Jim Hogan by 20 points, 58 percent to 38 percent.

Petroleum engineer Ryan Sitton, a Friendswood Republican, won a seat on the oil and gas regulating Texas Railroad Commission, beating Democratic opponent Steve Brown, a Houston businessman, 58 percent to 36 percent.

Most other posts go GOP Texas Supreme Court Chief Justice Nathan Hecht, a Republican, overcame Democratic challenger, El Paso State District Court 34 Judge William Moody, garnering 59 percent of the vote to Moody’s 37 percent.

Incumbent members of the State Board of Education retained their seats but in a race between non-incumbents for SBOE Dist. 13, Democrat Erika Beltran won, getting 90 percent of the vote to Libertarian Junart Sodoy’s 10 percent.

Republican Konni Burton of Fort Worth won the race to succeed Wendy Davis in the

state Senate Dist. 10 race, getting about 53 percent of the vote to Democratic opponent Libby Willis’s nearly 45 percent. Sen. Leticia Van de Putte of San Antonio did not resign to run for higher office. She will continue to hold the Sen. Dist.

26 seat. Dan Patrick’s successor in northwest Houston’s Sen. Dist. 7 is Republican Paul Bettencourt, who got nearly 72 percent of the vote to Democrat Jim Davis’s 26 percent.

Incumbents in the 150 state House of Representatives races, regardless of party, dominated their challengers. One exception was incumbent San Antonio Dist. 117 Rep. Philip Cortez, who with 47 percent of the vote lost to Republican challenger Rick Galindo’s 52 percent. Another incumbent Democrat, Rep. Mary Ann Perez of Dist. 144, which includes parts of Houston, Pasadena, Deer Park and Baytown, lost to Republican challenger Gilbert Pena by 1.31 percent of the vote. Notably, Republican House Speaker Joe Straus, in his race to retain the San Antonio House Dist. 121 seat, won against Libertarian Jeff Carruthers, 82 percent to 18 percent.

Textbook vote: Be religion free Dear Editor, The Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) will be voting on new textbook recommendations on November 21.

People for the American Way and Texas Freedom Network are working together to make sure that textbook companies hear from as many Americans as possible before that date in an endeavor to avoid the passing of some outrageous standards in textbooks that will be presented for study in many United States schools…not just Texas schools.

Voter turnout figures normal Secretary of State Nandita Berry, the state’s chief elections officer, on Oct. 16 reported more Texans than ever had registered to vote: 14,025,441.

About 4.7 million voters followed through and cast ballots in early voting or on election day last week.

That’s a 33.57 percent turnout, a little lower than the previous comparable election, in November 2010.

society and government in the United States. All of them strove to keep religion from becoming the fodder for controversy by affirming that expression of spirituality had a legitimate place in the public square while also upholding what they regarded as a due separation between church and state.”

In my opinion, the operative words in this quote are “public square.”

For some members of the SBOE to support and emphasize that the influence of Moses and the “Judeo-Christian tradition” on our nation’s founding and on Western political traditions should be part of social studies and history textbooks defies the “public square” provision. The formulation of history and social studies textbooks should not be treated as a “public square” issue.

In a treaty with the Muslim Barbary States during George Washington’s administration, the following was proclaimed,

“As the government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion, it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, the religion or tranquility of the Mussulmen (Muslims).”

I’m not a religion or history scholar, but I would hope that this treaty applied to all religions.

My point is: Don’t propose that Christian biases be included in our children’s textbooks.

Just write history as it is, and leave religion to be written by religious scholars.

And be aware that there are political activists and individuals without social studies degrees or teaching experience on the SBOE.

Lions skunked, postseason next for SHS Springtown will face Sanger Fri. by mark k. campbell In the second mismtach of district play, the Porcupine football team manhandled visiting Castleberry just as they did earlier with Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis.

Springtown (7-3, 4-1) blanked the Lions 35-0 in a game where the score could’ve been much higher.

The win gave SHS its highest win total since 2010’s 7-4 team.

The Porcupines won the game on Senior Night – and plenty SHS athletes were seniors.

One, running back Ryan Snow, had another exceptional game; he scored three of Springtown’s five touchdowns and ran for 188 yards on just 18 carries, a per carry tally of 10.4 yards every tote.

Quarterback Austin Bauman found veteran receiver Dillon Springfield, also a senior, for a pair of scores.

C’Berry S’town

The initial TD – the one that counted, penalties had thwarted others – came on a 15-yard pass. Late in the second period, a second TD hook-up occurred with just 31 seconds left in the half.

Meanwhile the Porcupine defense permitted Castleberry almost nothing offensively.

The Lions tallied exactly 4 total yards in the game. Castleberry tried just one pass – incomplete – and six sacks on QB Johnny Ogle by five Springtown defenders negated almost every positive yard the visitors managed.

SHS knew in advance that the Sanger Indians would be the Porcupines’ bi-district foe.

Despite an 8-2 overall mark, Sanger finished third in 6-4A, including a big loss to Argyle, No. 2 in the state.

The playoff game is set for Saginaw Rough Rider Stadium First-year coach Brian Hulett directed the Porcupines to the postseason. Springtown will face the Sanger Indians at Saginaw High School’s Rough Rider Stadium Friday, Nov. 14 at 7 p.m.

Vernon ends SHS volleyball season The Lady Porcupine volleyball team battled to the very end before falling in the Area round to Vernon at Bowie.

Springtown (22-17) lost a marathon, 25-23, 15-25, 27-25, 17-25, 12-15.

A Lady Lion outside hitter made things tough for SHS all night, coach Leighann Strickland. “We had one rotation that hurt us all night.”

In her final volleyball match as a Lady Porcupine, Brooklyn Dauenhauer was phenomenal.

The senior killed 27 balls, had 19 digs and was credited with 13 assists.

“Brook was incredible all the way around,” the coach said.

Bobo final football contest winner

Strickland lauded the play of another senior, Kendyl Dean, who dug out 23 balls. “She was amazing in defense and serve receive.”

Strickland also praised the offensive play of Kelly Boyett who carded 9 kills and added 2 blocks.

“Our seniors played very well,” the coach concluded.

Ashton Weaver was also a force on the court. She killed 11 balls and led Springtown with a whopping 5.5 blocks.

Kaitlyn Hill had 12 digs.

Strickland said, “I am very proud of this group of girls. We never gave up and in that alone Brooklyn Dauenhauer I am proud.”

Ladies take hoops opener points, Khristin Mote 6, and Kendyl Dean 5 in the first game.

Coach Croft said she will field a smaller lineup this season and that SHS will be playing at a “much faster pace” this season.

Only three lettermen return – Dauenhauer, Dean, and Easter, a sophomore – so that means plenty of new faces, including three sophomores and a freshman.

The 2014-15 Lady Porcupine basketball season began with a 52-46 win over Nolan Catholic.

Coach Susan Croft said the volleyball girls had just arrived from their playoff run a few days earlier.

Brooklyn Dauenhauer hit the ground running, scoring 25 points, including a pair of threepointers. She also blocked three shots.

Adrienne Easter scored 8

Also on the roster is an “impressive” German exchange student, junior Sybille Vogel.

Croft said the newcomer “has a great knowledge of the game.”

The game time of SHS’ Friday game against De Leon has been moved up to 5 p.m. because of the playoff football game.

The final football contest of 2014 season was a bona fide toughie.

Only one contestant missed two games; five others were off on three.

The outright winner, with those two misses, was Mike Bobo.

He took the $20 top prize.

The tie-breaker game of Dallas 31, Jacksonville 17 (48) sorted out the other five vying for two cash places.

Second and $10 went to Paul Rayfield who nailed the tiebreaker on the nose.

Taking third place with a guess of 45 was Gail Franklin who claimed $5.

Too far off on their tie-breaker guesseswww.edwardjones.com were Johnny Pruitt (41), James Franklin (38), and Eddy Swanzy (58).

The football contest will rewww.edwardjones.com turn next August.

Movie Man

Thursday, November 13, 2014

Space movie look good but it’s no sci-fi classic It seems we’ve been mighty 2001: A Space Odyssey intensive lately and that’s certainly not going to change this week.

That’s because Interstellar is trying very hard to be this generation’s 2001. And it ain’t by a long shot.

About the film There are plenty of similarities in the two movies, intentional, of course.

Both have long silent takes of objects, some tumbling, in space. Both use cutting edge technology. Music plays an essential role in 2001 and Interstellar. And both have a mindbending finale.

However, there are huge differences. The argument can be made – and the Movie Man has made it often – that film is very, very seldom art. As you can imagine, the Movie Man has seen zillions of movies and almost none qualify as art. Well, 2001 is truly a work of art.

Every viewing offers clues and symbols and motifs that can be arranged to address the varied concepts and ideals the Stanley Kubrick-directed classic presents. (To read a great interpretation of one part of the movie – the monoliths’ meanings – check out online a 1968 review by Roger Ebert “2001 – The Monolith and the Message.”)

And what makes 2001 so astonishing is that, at the time (‘68), there had never been anything like it. Seeing the movie was an event, an evening out that inspired post-film conversation, analysis, and then repeated viewings.

The movie was incredible for many other reasons – the classical music; the giant print size (70 mm [Interstellar had 250 of these] and, in some cases for lucky filmgoers in certain major cities in 1968, Cinerama [a gigantic curved screen in special theaters with multiple projectors]) its intentionally slow pace; the state-of-the-art special effects capped with a

what-the-what? conclusion that veered from psychedelic patterns to a man in a spacesuit in a bedroom to a baby floating in space [the “Star Child”]).

2001 was far from a hit when it was first released. In fact, in those days of fewer theaters, most owners were ready to pull the movie after just a couple of weeks – it was too long and many confused/bored audience members walked out.

But not all. Some theatergoers came back again and again.

So, some owners asked to keep the movie anyway. And it began to build. While it has never been a big moneymaker – even with re-releases – 2001 is like no other movie.

Likely, you’ll hate it – especially if you try to watch it at home; even your giant TV won’t do it justice. But, if you ever get the chance to see it in its intended venue, you should not pass it up.

There’s never been a movie like 2001 – sorry Interstellar.

The plot (big spoiler) In the near-future, the earth is going down the drain. Crops are failing in the dusty world and soon there will be no food at all. Our species’ only hope is to find another planet to live on.

Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) tries to convince his brainy 10-year-old daughter Murph (Mackenzie Foy) that there’s no ghost in her bedroom where falling books drift settling dust into curious patterns.

A former pilot, McConaughey, with Foy’s help, discovers a hidden NASA facility where a rocket is being prepared to send some humans through a wormhole discovered 10 years ago. Probes launched earlier through the hole – left by kindly aliens, apparently – have found three potential earth-like worlds that could support human life.

For McConaughey to leave, it’s unlikely he’ll return, and

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man if he does, time will have advanced an unknown number of years. That distresses Foy and she grows up into sullen scientist Jessica Chastain while McConaughey and his crew – including Brand (Anne Hathaway) – find trouble in space.

Eventually, a planet is reached by the two remaining crewmembers. However, the lone survivor on the icy orb, Dr. Mann (Matt Damon), is not what he seems.

McConaughey is determined to get back to Foy and does – thanks to some metaphysical time warping and some multidimensional alien help that ties together earlier scenes.

What works (spoiler) McConaughey is good as usual, mostly. He especially shines in the earthbound scenes early on. There are plenty of skilled big names that pop up like Michael Caine, John Lithgow, William Devane, Topher Grace, and an unrecognizable Ellen Burstyn.

The effects, of course, are perfect. Apart from a gargantuan wall of water that swamps the spaceship on the first planet, there are some 2001 homages that shine, especially the entire secondary docking attempt – cue man and machine spinning in space – that doesn’t go well at all initially.

The time-bending finale (that reminded the Movie Man of

the speedy doors conclusion of Monsters, Inc. [2001, Movie Man No. 428, a 7]) also is memorable.

A late scene with Hathaway – alone on a distant planet, waiting patiently for another human to (hopefully) show up one day – is perfect.

Worldwide love: Area churches take part in Operation Christmas Child

by Natalie Gentry

For the tenth year in a row, First Baptist Church Springtown will act as a relay center for Operation Christmas Child (OCC).

Also, the week of Nov. 17-24 marks the fourth year that First Baptist Azle has collected shoeboxes for OCC – a program aimed at providing needy children all over the world with Christmas gifts.

The project – organized by international Christian relief group Samaritan’s Purse – began in 1993 and, since then, has collected and delivered more than 113 million gifts to poverty-stricken children in more than 130 countries on six continents.

Associate Pastor John Miller at First Baptist Church Springtown said the church itself usually creates between 150 and 200 boxes annually.

Plus FBCS operates as a “relay center,” collecting boxes from other churches then conveying them to the Parker County collection center, North Side Baptist Church in Weatherford.

Miller said, “When someone brings us a box or even several hundred boxes, we crate them in large boxes provided by Samaritan’s Purse specially designed for the shoe boxes.”

PLEASE SEE CHURCHES, PAGE 3B.

Boxes full of gifts wait to be shipped out during last year’s Operation Christmas Child national collection week.

Beauty & Boutiques Revive summer-ravaged skin, hair and feet As summer draws to a close, many people will reminisce about weeks spent relaxing and basking in the sun. Summer is typically full of fun, vacations and relaxation, but while the sun and surf may be refreshing for the mind, sometimes the body pays a price for all of those days spent soaking up some rays.

Summer can be harsh on skin, feet, hair, and more. As the warm days wind down, practice some postsummer beauty tips to revive your skin, hair and feet.

Shop locally this holiday season Shopping is a big part of the holiday season, when families and friends gather to reconnect and exchange gifts. While the popularity of shopping online has grown, such practices are not always eco-friendly or timely, as gifts bought online must be packaged and shipped, wasting valuable resources and time that lastminute shoppers may not have.

The benefits of shopping locally go beyond convenience and the chance to reduce your carbon footprint. The following are a few ways that shopping locally this holiday season can directly benefit your community and the people who call it home.

to tear off portions of peeling, sunburned skin, the peeling is actually a natural part of the healing process and should not be disturbed. The dead skin acts as a protective layer while fragile, tender new skin grows underneath. Use a mild soap and lukewarm water when showering. Moisturizer can keep the damaged skin moist and make peeling less noticeable. Some have found that spraying the skin with a solution made of vinegar and water can reduce the itching associated with peeling skin.

If any part of the skin does not heal or looks strange, visit a dermatologist.

November:

Swimmer’s hair is another summertime phenomenon.

Constant exposure to water and sunlight can leave the hair’s cuticles exposed and susceptible to damage. Leave-in conditioners may help counteract some of that damage. If that doesn’t work, speak to a stylist about what can be done to get hair looking healthy once again. He or she may suggest a fresh cut, new hair color and deep-conditioning treatments.

Churches take on world poverty n CHURCHES, FROM PAGE ONE.

Once the Springtown trailer is full, it heads to Weatherford.

From there, the crates are hauled to a regional center; for the second year in a row, DFW is a designated center, Miller said.

Wendy Wilson, secretary for First Baptist Church Azle, said they expect to see approximately 2,000 boxes while serving as a relay center this year.

OCC is unique among holiday drives because it asks community members to fill shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and notes of encouragement.

Program organizers note that children living in desperate situations around the world, including natural disasters and wars, need to have hope that they are not forgotten and to feel loved.

The shoeboxes make Christmas a reality for these children.

According to the Samaritan’s Purse website, the organization hopes to collect enough shoebox gifts to reach another 10 million children in 2014.

It is the largest Christmas ser-

vice project of its kind with gifts being collected by more than 500,000 volunteers in the United States, Australia, Austria, Canada, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

Other donation options include packing a shoebox online – which can be done year round – or “adopting” a shoebox by paying the $7 shipping fee.

Both of these options can be completed on the group’s www. samaritanspurse.org website.

Although the gifts usually travel thousands of miles, OCC offers a way for participants to track their shoebox.

By using the donation form found on the website, donors can receive an email telling them the country where their gifts are delivered.

The relay center in Azle is First Baptist Church at 1017 Boyd Road.

Donations in Springtown may be dropped off at First Baptist Church at 500 North Main Street.

Volunteers will be available

during donation week to wrap and process all gifts.

Shoeboxes and other donations can be dropped off at the churches through Nov. 24.
