That’s Entertainment!

BY NATALIE GENTRY A three-vehicle crash on FM 51 near Carter Road – between Springtown and Weatherford – left a Springtown woman dead Nov. 16. Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers were called to the scene at approximately 5 p.m. The accident occurred when a northbound 2011 Toyota Corolla, driven by Janean Kennedy, 49, of Springtown, was struck from behind by a 2008 Ford F-250 pickup, driven by Mark Preston Moore, 38, of Weatherford, as Kennedy slowed to make a left-hand turn onto Carter Road. The truck then traveled into the southbound lane and struck a 2015 Ford Fusion, driven by Andrea Kuhn Miller, 52, of Millsap. According to DPS, although neither Preston nor Miller was injured, Kennedy was pronounced dead at the scene. She was the cafeteria manager at Curtis Elementary School in Weatherford, according to the school district. A passenger in the Toyota was transported to John Peter Smith hospital in Fort Worth with undisclosed injuries. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner has ruled Kennedy's death an acThe Springtown Elementary Pojo Sparks Choir and Orffestra entertained the crowd at the monthly Springtown Area Chamber of Com- cident due to blunt force trauma of the merce luncheon, held Nov. 12 at the SISD administration building.

Reno council hubbub continues Records dispute evolves into shouting match between mayor and councilman BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Most of the agenda for the Nov. 16 regular Reno city council meeting seemed tame enough: approval of some reports, discussion and/or action about holiday activities, a food drive, and storage facilities. But a couple items – one addressing “a change of policy requested by Councilman [John] Basham, regarding ordinances for codifi cation” and another item addressing a dispatch and jail contract – promised to be enlightening, at the very least. It was more like an explosion. During the Mayor’s Announcements portion of the meeting, Mayor Lynda Stokes did announce that sponsors are needed to provide Thanksgiving dinners to 14 families at a cost of $49.99 per dinner; Cookies with Santa will be from 6-8:30 p.m. Dec. 19; Toys for Tots applications will be accepted through Dec. 20; and the city invites citizens to take advantage of an abundance of bottled water, limit two cases per family.

Stokes then began to read a lengthy personal statement about her feelings concerning the actions of Basham since he was elected to office in May. Basham asked, “Are we on 6A?” – the item regarding Basham’s request – and was told by Stokes, “No, we are not.” Stokes continued with her statement. Council member Bonnie Black attempted to make a motion to deny Basham’s request to examine city records, but Stokes again stated, “We are not on 6A,” – even though she was clearly speaking on the subject matter of item 6A – therefore no motion could be made. The council moved to the consent agenda, which it approved with the exception of the fi nancial report after Basham asked that it be pulled and dealt with separately. He reiterated a point he had voiced at the previous meeting, stating that PLEASE SEE RENO’S, PAGE 7A.

Springtown man gets 13 years for child indecency Saul Romero Vazquez, Sr., 46, of Springtown, pleaded no contest to a charge of indecency with a child and was sentenced to 13 years in prison in a trial that concluded Nov. 12 in a Weatherford district court. Vazquez elected to have District Judge Craig Towson assess his punishment after entering his plea to the offense. He was accused of touching the breast of an 11-year-old Springtown girl while making sexually explicit comments as they were riding on a go-cart last May, according to Assistant District Attorney Jeff Swain, who tried the case. “The little girl who was the victim in this case along with her parents knew and trusted the defendant and he violated their trust in about the worst

way that you can,” Swain said. “She was very afraid and was crying when she told her parents what had happened to her moments before. As a result of what Mr. Vazquez did, this 11-year-old girl is now withdrawn and very guarded in her relationships with both men and boys.” Vazquez – who has admittedly been living illegally in the United States for Saul Romero Vazquez, Sr. the past 26 years Photo courtesy Parker County Jail

Reno’s turmoil continues n RENO’S, FROM PAGE ONE.

until the document authorizing the city to pay its council members and mayor is produced, his attorney has advised him not to accept any payment for his service. “A wise man once told me that if the United States misplaced the Declaration of Independence, we wouldn’t be calling up the Queen and saying ‘Guess what? We’re back,’” Stokes said. “Just because there isn’t the paperwork right there, right now, doesn’t mean it didn’t happen, and there are plenty of people still here who can attest to it.” Nevertheless, Basham said he will not accept any payment until the document authorizing his payment is made available to him. Basham’s request The council approved the financial report and moved on to item 6A, to which Basham immediately raised a point of order. Saying he has never made such a request to change any policy regarding ordinances for codification, Basham suggested council would be violating the Open Meetings Act by discussing or acting on 6A. He offered to read the request he made to Stokes in open council but was denied. City Attorney Walt Leonard spoke. “Part of the problem is this item was not placed on the agenda by council member Basham but by Mayor Stokes, in response to a conversation she had with Mr. Basham. The mayor placed this item before the council as an inquiry as to whether a change is wished by the council,” Leonard said. Apparently, Basham’s attempts to view records are complicated by the fact that the city’s records are...well, they’re a mess. “Ya’ll, it’s no surprise to anybody that’s lived here, our records are not where they should be. There was a fire at the old city hall, and now some records are gone, and some are incomplete as a result,” Stokes explained to those in attendance at the meeting. “We’ve had countless city secretaries going through things, and things were filed wrong.” A side conversation with Reno Public Works Director Scott Passmore revealed that he has gone through some boxes of records, but there are about 200 boxes remaining. Stokes further explained that

because Passmore has been at the city longer than other staff and elected officials, she put him – the public works director – in charge of sorting through what appears to be more than 250 boxes of records before they are sent off for codification. Codification, by the way, has been budgeted for in each of the last three years. “Unfortunately, it wasn’t done, and it won’t get done all at one time. There is a reason for having Mr. Passmore oversee it, so we know whose hands are in what, and so nothing else disappears,” Stokes said. “No one has ever been denied access to records, but they have been asked to wait or to follow a procedure.” Further discussion led to Basham again requesting to read his request in the open meeting. The request was again denied, but Basham began reading it aloud anyway. “You do not need to, and you are out of order,” Stokes informed Basham. Basham got louder, and so did Stokes. “That is enough! John, that is enough!” Stokes said. When Basham continued reading his request, Stokes said, “[Reno Police Chief] Hank [Pope], please take care of this, then,” indicating she wanted Basham removed from the meeting. But Black spoke up to make a motion to deny Basham’s request to go through the old records of the city at this time, saying the task has been delegated “to someone uniquely qualified to do so because of his long history with the city and the confidence we all have in him. He has graciously volunteered to do this along with his other duties and has been working on it for some time. “We all look forward to being able to put our city records in some order because they were in a poor state due to lack of care before,” Black continued. Referencing the worries on the part of council that caused them to censure Basham’s behavior, Black continued her motion, saying his request “must be denied for now, although we obviously want to make these [records] available to everyone once they have been organized and preserved in some workable fashion.” Council member Billie Steele seconded Black’s motion and all voted to approve it except Basham, who abstained.

Storage facilities According to Stokes, the city is badly in need of a place to store its records – such as they are. Although the connection was not made clear, it appears that when Toys for Tots begin coming in around this time of year, there are so many that storage in general becomes an issue. In 2014 alone, the city collected 14 trailer-loads of toys, Passmore told the council. Council member Black offered the use of her shop to store the toys. Stokes said one suggestion for records retention is to close in a carport behind city hall and possibly build another shed for storage. Former Reno Mayor Granville G. “Randy” Martin – seen on the HGTV reality TV show Texas Flip N Move – offered from the gallery a 1,568 squarefoot building on his property, saying he could lock it up tight with a heavy lock. Council members liked Martin’s idea and quickly passed a measure authorizing Stokes and staff to investigate and make a recommendation regarding storage. Whether it’s toys or city records that may be stored at Mr. Martin’s facility is unclear. Dispatch and jail contract Stokes told the council she has been talking with the Sansom Park Police Department about moving Reno’s dispatch and jail to that city after Parker County upped its contract for those services from $10,000 a year to $52,000. Even though such a move would require Reno to switch from digital to analog radios – another likely expense – Stokes insisted the move needs to be made, citing continuous rude and disrespectful treatment on the part of Parker County dispatchers toward the citizens of Reno. On this point, though, Stokes met with resistance from a couple of key people. Black said although she agrees “we don’t have a lot coming from Parker County,” $1,000 is not that much to give up, “but to jump over and do

something like that doesn’t make any sense to me.” Public Safety Director Joe Polino seemed to agree with Black. “Frankly, I don’t see that much of an advantage. I know we think we don’t get anything from Parker County, but when you make a decision to divorce yourself from your home county, there’s a lot that comes with that,” Polino said. “Right now, we do get backup from Parker County [Sheriff’s Office]. If we go with Sansom Park, who’s going to back us up? Sansom Park? You might try Azle, but they’re pretty busy.” Stokes said city officials have been talking with Pelican Bay as well as Azle, and assured the council “those doors are open.” She reiterated the reason for switching to another agency for dispatch and jail services is being considered is because of rude treatment by current dispatchers and the lack of respect shown to citizens. “It’s time to stop them from talking to our citizens like they are trash,” Stokes said. “The fire department’s contract with Tarrant County Fire Alarm is not signed yet, but it’s on the way.” Council Member Ken Parnell asked if anyone knew how long it would be before Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler might decide to retire. “When he dies,” said Black. Martin, though, again speaking from the gallery, said he has heard Fowler might not run for another term. “But the change at the top that will be put in place will be his second in command and he’s been well trained and schooled,” Stokes said. “It’s not just that person; it’s a whole attitude about Reno up there, and it starts even higher up than that. That’s why we started this move, because of the way people in Reno are treated and handled.” In the end, the council decided to form a committee comprised of Stokes, Passmore, the fire chief, police chief and possibly a couple of citizens to further investigate the possibilities and report back to the council.

When ‘bless your heart’ is fightin’ words

eal Texans know certain things: • How to pronounce Mexia, Burnet, Palestine, pecan, and caramel • How to spell “ya’ll” no matter what SpellCheck and your English teacher says • What “bless your heart” really means Of course, bless your heart actually means “what an idiot!” Did you hear that Jimbo cut his hand trying to fix his Weedeater while it was still running? “Oh, bless his

heart!” Hey, Jackie got locked out of the house in her nightie while fetching her mail. “Bless her heart!” Poor ol’ Cletus burnt his eyebrows off when he tried to light his burn pile with gasoline. “Bless his heart!” Clearly, you don’t want your heart blessed. I vacationed with a long-time friend in Mexico a while back, and she had had a few too many mimosas then a ON YOUR few too many other prettily-named drinks – by noon. MARK When she cracked her head trying to duck under a bridge while wading in Mark K. Campbell

a resort swimming pool, I helped her resume near-upright status and said, “Kinda conked your noggin there didn’t you – bless your heart.” A former Texan, she reared up: “Don’t you bless my heart!

Don’t you ever bless my heart!” Well, of course, we did just that the rest of the trip and, later, the postcard I mailed her said only, “Bless your heart!” You can still say the phrase in church. Not that its basic meaning is any different, but you can get away with gossip in church with a correctly placed heart blessing. Did you hear that Thelma just can’t get that no-good husband of hers to come to church if the Cowboy game begins at noon? “Bless her heart!” If there is a hierarchy of insult phras-

es, “bless your heart” ranks above all of them in the South, including even “God love ‘em but...” and even “I’m just sayin’...” Like: There are people out there – God love ‘em – who, I’m just sayin’, are dumb as a sack of rocks, bless their hearts. Now some folks – gray hair is usually involved – truly want to bless your heart to a non-insulting degree. I know those sweet old ladies at church mean well, but, gosh, bless their hearts. Mark K.

Bird’s fight on Little River a savage Rangers-Indian clash

ohn Bird was born in what was later Perry County, Tennessee, in 1795. After service in the War of 1812, John returned to Tennessee, where he married Sarah Denton, born about 1800, a daughter of Benjamin Denton. John Bird’s family, his brother Thomas Bird’s family, and his sister Wincey Bird Bell’s family came to Texas in June 1830, and settled in Austin’s Colony near San Filipe, about six miles from the Brazos River. In Austin’s Colony, John was elected captain of the militia. During the Texas Revolution he commanded a unit of Texas cavalry against the Mexicans near San Antonio in 1835, and in March 1836, he commanded sixty volunteers in defense of the western frontier on the Brazos River In his book The Texas Rangers, Walter Prescott Webb says, “The Indian depredations of 1839 led to a petition for succor from people dwelling on the upper courses of the Brazos, Colorado, and Trinity, with the result that congress called for several companies of three months’ Rangers to give protection to these settlements.”

Thirty-four men were recruited in Houston under the command of Lieutenant W. G. Evans, and marched into Fort Milam on the Texas frontier two miles from the present town of Marlin on April 3, 1839. In early April 1839, John Bird was elected captain of a company of rangers. On April 21, a company of fiftynine men was raised in Austin and Fort Bend counties under the command of Captain Bird. This company reached Fort Milam on May 6. Captain Bird assumed command of the united force, and on May 20 set out with fifty men for another ford on Little River farther in the Indian country, where they arrived on Friday, May 24. On the morning of May 25, they encountered a party of Comanche skinning buffalo. The Indians fled but returned with heavy reinforcements on the following morning, and they stampeded a herd of buffalo through the Rangers’ camp while Bird and Brookshire were absent. When Captain Bird reached camp, preparations were made for pursuit of the Indians which was begun at one o’clock with thirty-five men, leaving

Bird then orHISTORICAL dered a retreat HIGHLIGHTS and was pursued and soon Laurie Moseley surrounded by forty Indians, “hurling their arrows upon us from every direction.” Captain Bird and his men pursued the retreating Indians for four miles before discovering that they had ridden into a trap laid by the warriors. The Rangers attempted to fall back to Fort Milam but were overtaken and attacked after about a quarter mile, at about 3:30 p.m. The Rangers took refuge in a ravine and the Indians retired to the top of a hill three hundred yards off, where they were joined by reinforcements of two hundred, mak-

ing over two hundred and forty Indians against thirty-five Rangers. The Rangers repelled several mounted charges by the Comanche but were severely beset by Indians on foot, who approached the Rangers’ position by way of a sheltered ravine. The Indians drew up in line of battle, and let out a war whoop which went from one end of the line to the other. They changed the barricaded white men furiously, but were beaten back with considerable loss. At sunset, the Indians withdrew, “yelling like devils” according to one survivor of the fight. After dark they marched off, throwing up in the air a composition of something that had the appearance of lightning, which was supposed to be a signal for retreat. They uttered their peculiar guttural howl with which the Indians bewail the dead as they went. Five Rangers had been killed including Captain Bird, who was shot through the heart by an arrow that came from a great distance. Comanche deaths were variously estimated at between 30 and 75. Captain John Bird and the other four dead Rangers were buried on the

battleground in present Bell County. About nine o’clock the Rangers secreted their dead men and marched down the ravine towards Fort Smith, carrying three wounded men with them. Captain Nathan Brookshire assumed command and the decimated squad reached Fort Smith at 2 a.m. Sunday might. On Monday the retreat was continued to Camp Nashville. The battle, often spoken of as ‘Bird’s Victory,’ was Pyrrhic, and further served to set the Indians in commotion for more depredations on the frontier. A Texas Historical Marker commemorating the fight was erected by the Texas and Bell County Historical Commissions. At the time of his death, John Bird owned 354 acres of land in present Austin County and a league (4,428 acres) of land in present Burleson County. John and Sarah Bird’s homestead was in present Austin County. They had five children: Elba Bird, Nancy Jane Bird, William Parish Bird, Thomas Jefferson Bird, and Wincey Bird.

Court rules immigration policy unconstitutional

three-judge panel of the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on Nov. 9 affirmed a Brownsville federal district judge’s Feb. 15, 2015, order forbidding the Obama administration’s implementation of DAPA, the Deferred Action for Parents of Americans and Lawful Residents Program. Against the wishes of Congress, the White House sent out a memorandum in November 2014 extending the reach of the policy include to more people. Gov. Greg Abbott reacted to the Fifth Circuit ruling on Nov. 10, saying: “The court’s decision is a vindication for the Rule of Law and the Constitution. The president’s job is to enforce the immigration laws, not rewrite them. President Obama should abandon his lawless executive amnesty program and start enforcing the law today.” In affirming the lower court’s ruling, the Fifth Circuit sided with Texas and 25 other states that sued to prevent the implementation of DAPA on three grounds: 1. That DAPA violated the procedural requirements of the federal Administrative Procedures Act as a substantive rule that did not undergo the requisite notice and comment; 2. That the U.S. Department of Homeland Security lacked the authority to implement the program even if it followed the correct rule-making process; and 3. That DAPA was an abrogation of the president’s constitutional duty to “take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed.” The trial court and subsequent appellate court actions stem from the Department of Homeland Security’s implementation of DACA, the Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, a 2012 executive order by President Obama. According to the Fifth Circuit majority opinion, under DACA, at least 1.2 million people who are “lawfully present” in the U.S. may qualify for So-

Abbott comments on Paris French officials confirmed the deaths of 127 people and the hospitalization of an estimated 300 hundred others in Nov. 13 terrorist attacks at six sites in a small section of Paris. Gov. Abbott issued the following statement: “Today’s despicable attacks in France are an assault to all of humanity, and the world must unite to condemn acts of terrorism on every front. My office has been in contact with DPS and federal authorities who will continue to monitor the situation in Texas. Additionally, I have spoken with the Consulate General of France in Houston to offer any and all assistance on behalf of the State of Texas. Our thoughts and prayers remain with the victims and all those affected in France tonight."

SCOTUS to hear HB 2 suit A lawsuit challenging the constitutionality of Texas’ 2013 House Bill 2 that revised the state’s abortion law will be reviewed by the U.S. Supreme Court in 2016, the court announced Nov. 13. In Whole Women’s Health et al. v. Texas Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Kirk Cole et al., plaintiffs contest the law’s new restrictions requiring an abortion-performing doctor to have admitting privileges at a hospital no more than 30 miles from the clinic and requiring clinics that provide abortions to have facilities meet strict guidelines as ambulatory surgical centers. Planned Parenthood Texas said if the high court does not reverse a Fifth Circuit ruling that allows the law to stand, “it would leave the 5.4 million women of reproductive age in Texas with only 10 health centers that provide safe, legal abortion in the entire state, down from approximately 40 health centers before the passage of the dangerous law.” Gov.

Mistakes too costly in bi-district loss to Sanger BY MARK K. CAMPBELL Moving the ball was no problem. Keeping possession of it was. Miscues – especially early – doomed the Porcupines in Springtown’s bi-district clash at Sanger Nov. 12. For the second year in a row, the Indians ended the Porcupines’ season, this time 55-36. A trio of fi rst quarter turnovers – two interceptions and a fumble – put SHS into too deep a hole. Sanger took advantage of the Springtown errors to build a 27-7 halftime lead. But hope arose for the Porcupines on SHS’ fi rst possession of the second half when

the Springtown offense roared downfi eld to score on a 5-yard pass from Kaleb Chesney to Jonathan Chavez. Suddenly, the score stood 2714 with most of the game left and Springtown rising. That lasted only a few seconds, however. Sanger’s Peyton Howard returned the ensuing kickoff 95 yards for a TD ,and the Indians followed that up with two more scores, building a 48-14 lead. The Porcupines put on a furious fi nal period rally, but that defi cit was too great for even 22 fourth quarter points. Springtown Coach Brian Hulett lauded his squad’s efforts. “The score doesn’t show them than that.”

Movie Man

Thursday, November 19, 2015 Springtown Epigraph

You’re a good, gentle movie, Charlie Brown People are still yapping – incorrectly – about the terrible live-action version of the beloved 1966 cartoon TV classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas! (That movie, The Grinch [2000, Movie Man No. 377, 9, Best of Year] remains a holiday tradition at the Movie Man house.) When word got out that a Peanuts movie was being made with evil computer generation, generations of Charlie Brown fans – from the comic strip and television specials – generated angry rants and basically went cyber-nuts. They needn’t have worried. About the film This is not the fi rstPeanuts movie to be theatrically released. While most of the famous productions are from TV – primarily annual classics A Charlie Brown Christmas (1965) and It’s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown (1966) – there have been four movies that reached auditoriums. A Boy Named Charlie Brown arrived fi rst in 1969. Then came Snoopy Come Home in 1972 followed by Race for Your Life, Charlie Brown in 1977 and Bon Voyage, Charlie Brown (and Don’t Come Back!!) in 1980. There have been treasury gatherings, strip compilations, made-for-TV specials and movies, and a Broadway smash, You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown. It all blossomed from the success of the comic strip by Charles Schulz and its rapid expansion. When everyone was Peanuts crazy in the 1960’s, a TV special was suggested. What was created – A Charlie Brown Christmas – looked like a certain disaster, its makers felt. But when the show aired on Dec. 9, 1965, it was instantly successful. Drawing a 45 share – about 15.5 million – while preempting The Munsters, A Charlie Brown Christmas finished second only to the unbeatable Bonanza.

Soon, the special’s music was released on an LP, a hardback book came out, and the next year, A Charlie Brown Christmas won an Emmy. This year marks the 50th anniversary of the TV show, now watched perennially as often as How the Grinch Stole Christmas. Those same families ventured to theaters – the older fans with many suspicions – for this newest release, The Peanuts Movie. They left knowing their childhood memories had not been hijacked in this cynical modern era.

Capturing creepy concepts by maRk k. Campbell I started thinking about a Halloween story during the summer. I stumbled across a tale of

someone in Springtown spot- a fun seasonal story. But finding accompanying ting and reporting a UFO. Plus I knew of a scary, de- photographs would require teriorating church nearby and more work. Then, one day late last spring thought I could cobble together

in the annual futile effort to get in better shape for summer vacation, I was lifting weights in the sun room at home. (Yes, that is green linoleum.) The sun through the door stretched my shadow. With a bit of posing (still wearing my weight lifting gloves), I discovered I could make a strange looking, shadowy being of some sort. Perfect for the Halloween story. We “erased” everything around me – including the coffee cup, the wood burning stove frequented by raccoons, and the linoleum – and laid it across the page diagonally. That was a good start. Thanks to being rather slow at responding to spousal requests, we’ve had a dead tree in our yard for several years. (I’ll get around to felling it.) PLEASE SEE eeRIe, PAGE 2B.

The haunted church off Carter Road south of Springtown is eerie enough. It really looks creepy when the photo is “inverted.” Photos by Mark K. Campbell

Sales taxes up here but statewide revenue plummets 4.5 percent BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN

Thanks to oak wilt and general laziness, this dead tree made it into the story. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

Eerie illustrations especially elicited n EERIE, FROM PAGE ONE.

Nothing says Halloween like a gnarled dead tree (thank you Parker County oak wilt). My inaction had paid off! I shot that tree several different ways – from the bottom straight up, far away, and in between. A few nights later, I got back from a football game and the full moon was impressive. Years of propping a camera on the cab of a pickup truck worked to my advantage. After several attempts, I got a decent picture of the moon. We Photoshopped it behind the dead tree’s limbs and – voila! – creepy image number two was born. That left only the church to photograph. I could not get out to Carter Road until almost dusk where it was overcast, too, and

getting darker by the minute. Even though years ago I had once had a church dinner under the nearby pavilion and another time geocached successfully – while getting a cool picture of two snakes fighting – the church was truly spooky in the fading light. Now, I’m a former firefighter macho man, but I didn’t venture too close to the building to peek into the dead-eyed windows of that dilapidated church. My long camera lens worked just fine. You might be a skeptic about things that go bump in the night, but that place will give you pause, I assure you. Back at work, we “inverted” the picture, and it looked super. All that remained was to compile the images and tack on a crazy, scary headline font. And that’s how the Halloween story came to be, minus the UFOs – maybe next year.

Sales tax figures around the state were released Nov. 4, and in this area, the news was generally good. Only the town of Lakeside saw a loss compared with November 2014; but last year, Lakeside was riding high after a 1 percent tax increase to offset property values, and now seems to be settling in at figures a little lower than 2014. All other area cities and special purpose districts realized an increase over November 2014 figures. The smallest city in the area – Sanctuary – saw the greatest increase over November 2014 with $2,375. That’s 73.73 percent higher than November 2014, when it received $1,367. Sanctuary is up 21.79 percent year-to-date with just one month remaining in the year. It is closely followed by Reno, which saw a 62.74 percent increase to $16,330, from $10,042 in November 2014. Reno’s sales tax revenue is up 33.37 percent year-to-date. Pelican Bay also enjoyed a large increase from last year. Its November sales tax revenue is $1,843 or 22.38 percent more than November 2014 revenue of $1,506. The jump puts the Bay within 0.67 percent of breaking even with its yearto-date sales tax revenue for the first 11 calendar months of 2014. Springtown’s November revenue of $98,191 is up 9.73 percent from November 2014’s $89,483. The city is up 15.01 percent for the first 11 months of the year as compared to the same period in 2014. In Azle, November revenue of $215,250 is 7.94 percent more than November 2014, when it received $199,409. Year-to-date, the city is up 5.24 percent compared with the first 11 months of 2014.

The District’s yearto-date sales tax revenue is 15.21 percent higher than for the same period in 2014. The town of Lakeside recorded $15,684 for November, which is 7.16 percent less than November 2014, when it received $16,894. Lakeside’s

year-to-date revenue is down 14.28 percent compared with the first 11 months of 2014. Parker County managed an increase of 1.78 percent from $609,199 for November 2014 to $620,043 for this month. Year-to-date, the County’s revenue is up 3.81 percent from 2014 levels. Statewide, cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing district received $481,983,957 for November, a 1.82 percent increase from November 2014 totals of $473,358,107. Year-to-date, statewide totals are 4.08 percent higher than at this time in 2014. Texas Comptroller Glenn

Hegar said the allocations are based on sales made in September by businesses that report tax monthly, and sales made in July, August, and September by businesses that report tax quarterly. Hegar also said sales tax revenue for the state in October was $2.28 billion, down 5.4 percent compared to October 2014. “October state sales tax revenue was depressed, as expected, by declines in spending in oil and natural gas-related sectors,” Hegar said. “Other major sectors of the Texas economy, including construction, information, and services, continued to show growth in tax remittances.”

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