Voters OK Poolville annexation BY NATALIE GENTRY Parker County voters took to the polls Nov. 3 and decided that the Emergency Service District 1 (ESD 1) will provide fire and emergency services for the Poolville area. According to unofficial totals, the annexation and related propositions were passed by more that 76 percent of voters in Poolville and ESD 1, with 119 of 138 Poolville votes in favor of the annexation. In addition, 89 percent – or 2,810 of the 3,133 voters within the ESD 1 area – voted to add Poolville. “We’re happy with the result and we look forward to working with the Poolville Volunteer Fire Department (PFVD), building upon the investment their firefighters and community have made as we go forward,” ESD 1 Chief Stephen Watson said. When asked about plans for 2016, Watson noted that one possible change would be to increase staff positions to 24 hours a day to cover the Peaster/ Poolville area together. Peaster currently has only two daytime staff positions. “The district will also help pay for Poolville’s recently purchased brush Springtown roughed up visiting Lake Worth Oct. 29 at Porcupine Stadium in a key district game.

Local man arrested for array of thefts BY NATALIE GENTRY Dylan Jacob Koenig, 21, of Springtown was arrested on two counts of theft of property between $2,500 and $30,000, and burglary of a habitation Sunday, Oct. 25. All charges are felonies. According to the crime report, Koenig’s burglary ended after the homeowner caught Koenig in the residence attempting to steal cigarettes. Parker County Sheriff’s deputies were dispatched to the 100 block of Fair Haven Lane in Springtown at approximately 8:40 a.m. on a burglary in progress call. According to the report, Koenig said, “This is exactly what it is – breaking and entering – I knocked and then just walked in.” He reportedly then told deputies that he’d stolen a 2007 Infiniti G35 passenger car and wrecked it. After that, he stole a 2004 Ford F150 and drove it to the residence on Fair Haven Lane in Springtown. Upon arrival, deputies found the truck on the property. It was later released to its owner. The Infiniti had already been reported stolen and information was rePLEASE SEE THIEF, PAGE 2A.

Fund ponies up $10,000 to help county horses A badly-injured Quarter horse – one of three found in a roadway south of Azle on Oct. 13 – is recuperating nicely, thanks to a $10,000 grant from the Anita Berry Martin Memorial Fund. Ringo, a 10-to-12-year-old Quarter horse, was obviously neglected and had a cut on his right back leg believed to have been sustained in a

fence accident. According to officials with the Parker County Sheriff’s Office, Ringo had not had medical attention or treatment since the injury occurred, believed to be about two months prior. A local veterinarian, Dr. Craig Sweatt, performed surgery and Ringo is currently undergoing laser therapy to

stimulate the flesh growth around his injury several times weekly. Dr. Sweatt said he is hopeful for a full recovery for Ringo, but wants his new owner to expect several months of care. Ringo is just one horse that is benefiting from the Anita Berry Martin grant, Sheriff Larry Fowler said, and

Four car wreck at 199/51 sends two to hospital BY NATALIE GENTRY Wet weather was a contributing factor to the four-car collision that occurred at approximately 2:48 p.m. Oct. 30, according to a Springtown police report. A tan 2011 Dodge 1500 driven by Michael Frazier, 61, of Jacksboro was approaching the traffic light at the intersection of State Highway 199 and Farm to Market 51 when he lost control of the vehicle on the wet pavement and slid into a gray 2007 Dodge 2500, driven by William Casey McCleery, 19, of Poolville, which was stopped in the left lane. The impact caused the pickups to become attached and they both slid sideways into vehicles in the righthand turning lanes. McCleery’s vehicle struck a green 2007 Toyota Camry – driven by Misty Burns, 38, of Springtown – stopped in the right lane. Frazier slid into a white 2014 Chevrolet Tahoe, driven by Julie Eyster, 46, of Springtown, sitting in the turning lane. Eyster, Burns, and Burns’ infant daughter who was also in the vehicle were all uninjured. However, both Frazier and McCleery were taken by LifeCare ambulances to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital in Azle with unknown injuries. According to the report, Frazier was ESD 1 firefighters and LifeCare Paramedics remove Michael Frazier, 61, of Jacksboro from his vehicle after a collision on Highway 199 traveling at an unsafe speed for the Oct. 30.

District pondering how to spend contest winnings of $10,000 “Booster clubs, PTAs, our Chamber of Commerce, parents, distant relatives, and those that are simply friends of the district all played a role in this ‘win’ for our students.” Ultimately, Springtown’s last-minute effort to ensure they maintained their lead over the nearest competitor resulted in a 5,000-text surge during the final week of the contest. “We now know that we won by over 6,000 texts,” Kelley said. “This fact offers evidence of at least three things many of us already know about our community: We can count on great support for our children; we enjoy competition of any kind – and winning; and Brook-

officer of the Community Foundation of North Texas. “We are honored to keep her legacy alive through support of local land, wildlife conservation, and equine programs.” PCSO found a great need for the grant after several abused and neglected horse cases were generated over the last several years. Parker County Animal Control Officers have seized six horses since January of this year, all in critical need of veterinary care due to abuse and neglect. The Community Foundation Grants Committee agreed that the PCSO Equine Rescue Fund provides a valuable service to the community by supplying veterinary services to rescued horses from neglect and/or abuse cases, saving them from the potential threat of euthanization. The fund was established at the Community Foundation of North Texas in early 2013. Martin had a successful com-

Based on her professional background and personal interests, family members suggested awarding North Texas agencies with funds to assist in providing services in support of land and wildlife preservation and equine therapy or welfare. Fowler said he is extremely excited about the grant. “We couldn’t be more pleased with being awarded the grant in honor of Mrs. Anita Berry Martin,” Sheriff Fowler said. “She continually serves the needs of the equine community through this fund.” Sheriff Fowler added the grant allows the Sheriff’s Office to seek care for rescued equines without the cost of tax dollars.

BY NATALIE GENTRY On Oct. 27, Brookshire Grocers notified Springtown Independent School District Superintendent Mike Kelley that the ExtraPoint Contest had ended with Springtown High School winning the $10,000 top prize. Kelley and SHS Principal Scott McPherson accepted the check on behalf of SISD during half time at the football game Thursday, Oct. 28. “All our campuses and stakeholders have publicized and participated in the contest, regardless of grade level or location, and we certainly could not have won without effort from the entire community,” Kelley said.

SIS fifth graders conduct penny drive, raising $300 for Tabernacle repair fund BY NATALIE GENTRY The fifth graders at Springtown Intermediate School (SIS) have been learning about good citizenship first hand for the last couple of weeks. “One of my personal goals for this year was to give my students an opportunity to learn about giving back to their community,” said SIS teacher Lisa Goben. “While sixth graders can participate in Student Council and S.H.I.E.L.D for community service projects, fifth graders have had few opportunities in

the past to initiate such activities. “I drive by the Tabernacle every day as I commute to work, and I fondly remember the Fall Festival carnival events the elementary schools used to conduct there,” Goben continued. “I have watched the Wild West Festival become a major Springtown event and know that one day my students will smile remembering the fun they had growing up in a town that surrounds the Tabernacle.” When she saw the Friends of the Tabernacle fundraising sign with the goal thermometer on

it, Goben “decided this would be our first community service project.” She suggested a penny drive benefiting the tabernacle restoration fund to her fifth grade math department teammates Mary Rodgers, Terri Shaw, and Suzanne Stewart. “We asked our fifth grade math students to collect and donate pennies. With about 240 fifth graders, we set a goal of $100 for our contribution,” Goben said. “We were not sure how students would respond, but we knew it would provide valuable financial literacy and

goal-setting opportunities. “Our principal, Joe Brown, gave the project proposal his approval and in October we began the drive,” Goben added. The penny drive concluded October 29 with the students far exceeding their goal by $200. The students will present the funds they raised to members of the Tabernacle Committee at 10:30 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 6 at SIS.

Food Drive on Oct. 30,” Goben said. “We will stress the importance of helping others in need. “I also hope to have my classes construct and register a Little Free Library, to be lo-

cated at Springtown Intermediate,” she continued. “The students’ enthusiasm for service-based projects is amazing. The future of Springtown is in great hands.”

What’s up next for SIS students? “The Student Council kicked off our school-wide Canned

a home. Creating was in his blood. He crafted cross-stitch frames and plates, made musical shakers, whittled fi gurines and designed whirly gigs. He was known not just as a painter but as an artist of his trade. At times his children accompanied him to work, where he taught them the responsibility of working hard and producing a quality product. His teachings, which were many, did not stop there. He attributed his ability to rise each time to his faith. In 1962, he became a Christian. It was simple for him; he just prayed the sinners’ prayer at home and began his journey to his heavenly home. The road twisted and winded by many people and a few churches. It began at Jaybird Assembly of God and ended at Cornerstone Community Church. His faith in God was deep. Jack was preceded in death by his wife, Sally Thatcher Spurrier; parents, Jesse Geter and Annie Caladonia Lail Spurrier; brothers, W.G. Spurrier, W. F. Spurrier, D. A. Spurrier, R.R. Spurrier; and grandsons, Jonathan and Zachary. Survivors include children, Debra and Chris Morrison, Tommy and Judy Spurrier, Dan and Luanne Spurrier, Ruthann and Marvin Hull, Maribeth and Ray Landers, Johnna and Brian Morris, Dawn and Van Davison; sister, Melba Geeslin; 22 grandchildren; 28 great-grandchildren; three great-great-grandchildren and many loving friends.

Reno Toys for Tots deadline is Dec. 15

The City of Reno is again accepting applications for the Toys for Tots program for area residents who need help this Christmas. Photo courtesy City of Reno

BY NATALIE GENTRY On Nov. 9, the City of Reno will begin accepting gifts for children through the 2015 Toys for Tots initiative. This campaign is designed to provide Christmas presents for needy families in the area. Applications are available at Reno City Hall, 195 West Reno Road. In order to participate in the program, applicants will need proof of their Social Security number, proof of residency such as a lease agreement or utility bill, and proof of guardianship or a birth certificate for the child. Applicants do not have to be Reno residents to apply. The deadline for applications is Dec. 15. The City is also accepting donations of toys or clothes to help facilitate the initiative.

N2N angel tree focuses on SISD kids BY NATALIE GENTRY For the second year in a row, Neighbor to Neighbors Food Pantry (N2N) will team up with churches in the Springtown Independent School District to help provide Christmas for needy local children. “Our churches are the backbone of our community and in the past have been there whenever Neighbors has asked for help,” said Connie Ellis, N2N board member. Representatives from N2N met with members of the Springtown Pas-

tors Group concerning the Angel Tree project. According to Ellis, changes in ages and family circumstances were discussed. Eligible families must be clients of one of the food banks in the SISD area. Qualifying guidelines are the same as those in place to receive food at the pantries. These guidelines include the Texas Department of Agriculture household size and income requirements.

“Springtown Children’s Angel Tree is a needs-based program,” Ellis said. “Children’s pants, shirts, skirts, blouses, shoes, socks, and coats are what we consider needed items.” N2N has also partnered with the Marine Corps Toys for Tots program, which furnishes each child with an age-appropriate toy or game. Children whose parents live in Parker County and go to school in SISD who are not food pantry clients can apply to the Salvation Army Angel Tree and Manna Storehouse 129

A cut above Single mom LaRonda Hunter, from Springtown and a former FDIC and American Airlines accountant, has just opened a Fantastic Sams salon here – her fifth in the Lone Star State in less than 10 years. Hunter opened her first salon in Fort Worth in 2006 while continuing to work for American Airlines. As the salon took off, she was able to quit the airline and realize her dream of becoming her own boss. “I wish I had done this long before I did. It’s afforded me a lifestyle that I would have never had in my previous career,” Hunter said. “I worked for the government and the airline for 30 years, but now I can work a flexible schedule. The most important part of that is that I can spend more time with my son.” An incentive to change came because Fantastic Sams does not require a large up-front investment, she said. “I chose Fantastic Sams for a few reasons. First, it’s a fullservice salon – we do more than just cut hair,” she said. “I

Santa’s Helper Programs in Weatherford. The same income guidelines apply. In Azle, the school district there handles the enrollments of Azle children. N2N checks the enrollments with four other programs in SISD to eliminate any duplicates. “We coordinate to eliminate waste – we have so many needy families,” Ellis said. “It is Neighbors Food Pantry’s responsibility to help as many as families as possible.”

Parents or a household representative will need to have proof of identification (state-issued ID, driver’s license); proof of residency such as a utility bill or rent receipt; employment information; monthly assistance information like food stamps or supplemental security income; and a birth certificate for each child. Enrollment for the Angel Tree is held at Neighbor to Neighbors Food Pantry, 413 S. Main St. For more information, call (817) 523-6095.

That was a big factor,” “Fantastic Sams has been great for me,” she notes. “I wouldn’t go back and change my decision, as tough as it was at the start, for anything. “I tell my salon managers that one of the reasons we’ve been so successful is that we have a balance.” Hunter also noted that while her stylists come at the business from a technical side, and she comes at it from a customer’s side and from having a background in accounting. LaRonda Hunter “I feel like I know the level of customer service people want Business Owner in salons because I’ve been a customer. Between us we’ve got it all covered,” she said. “I paid my dues for many years working for someone else “I’m not a wealthy person, but I had enough money up front for the franchise fee and down payment on a loan.” Hunter and feel very fortunate to now be a Fantastic Sams franchise owner.

Keep moving the sticks

10,000 kudos to Springtown folks

The news came down and it was all good: Springtown High School had won the Brookshire’s ExtraPoint contest. That means $10,000 more for SHS, cash ISD officials are looking into putting to good use. The victory was a classic example of a small town coming together. The school with the most texts to a specific number during the contest period would win 10K. Everyone – school officials, fans, kids, local residents – began texting “Porcupines” madly. Springtown led from start to finish. In fact, Springtown is the juggernaut in the contest; last year, Springtown had submitted the most texts but a weighted judging system gave the top spot to another school. This year, the contest was divided into divisions and Springtown never trailed. So, kudos to everyone who helped. You have 10,000 reasons to be proud of your effort. MKC

hat does a “first down” look like for your church, organization, business, or family? Another NFL quarterback had an amazing losing game on Sunday. The New York Giants’ Eli Manning threw for 350 yards, 6 touchdowns, and no interceptions as his team scored 49 points. But it wasn’t enough to win since Drew Brees threw for 511 yards and 7 touchdowns for the 52-49 win by the New Orleans Saints. Not a proud moment for the defensive coaches or players for either team. I watched some of the game and at one point heard the commentators say that the best thing either team could do was to keep their offense on the field as long as possible to minimize the scoring of the other team’s offense. Big plays and scores can happen quickly in the NFL and, as I have said before, the only way to guarantee a win is to score more points than the other team. But if 49 points is not enough, maybe keeping the ball out of the hands of the opponent is a really good strategy. So, how can a team do that? By sustaining long, time of pos-

session consuming drives. And that happens by making one first down after another. In the 13 games that have already been played in week 8, the teams that scored the LIFE MATTERS most points were 13-0. Gerry Lewis No surprise. Teams that had the greatest time of possession were 7-6. Teams with the most first downs were 8-5. What that means is that winning time of possession and first downs does not guarantee a win, but does increase your team’s chances of winning. So, now I go back to my original question. What does a “first down” look like in your context? In real life, scoring is harder to measure. So is competition. But, once we can figure out what a first down looks like, it is much easier to know if we are achieving them.

Here’s what I know about first downs: 1. They are goal oriented. On the football field, the goal line is fixed. In real life, we have to set our goals and the only goals that you absolutely cannot reach are the ones you never set. Philippians 3:14 says, “I press on toward the goal to win the prize for which God has called me heavenward in Christ Jesus.” 2. They are forward facing. So often in life, fear and failure cause us to shrink back and live by memory instead of vision. A first down cannot happen by going backward. Ecclesiastes 7:10 says, “Do not say, ‘Why were the old days better than these?’ For it is not wise to ask such questions.” So what goals has God given you that are drawing your focus forward in your church, organization, business, or family? Our lives matter so much to God that He wants to help us make one first down after another toward fulfilling His purposes.

The Indian merely made his dog harness larger, lengthened the poles of his travois, and as an indication of appreciation of the boon which had been conferred upon him, named the horse the God-dog. “It was the horse primarily that enabled the Plains Indians to extend their power southward, to beat back the Spaniards and Mexicans for more than a century, to fight the Texans over a 1,000-mile frontier, and to contend, oft-times successfully, with the American army from the Mexican border to the Canadian line, over a belt of country 2,500 miles long and more than 1,000 miles wide. “These mounted warriors of the Plains – led by Quanah Parker and Lone Wolfe of the Comanches, Geronimo of the Apaches, Little Wolf of the Cheyennes, and Sitting Bull of the Sioux and many other lesser ones – have come to typify the American

the reasons, the government of Mexico has ever been unstable, frequently overturned by civil war, and changed but seldom improved by revolution. This HISTORICAL constant politebullition HIGHLIGHTS ical has made any Laurie Moseley governmental policy – however good it might be – impossible of realization, and transitory. “The Mexican warrior, like the Indian, was a horseman, and in the northern part of the country mainly a ranchero. He loved gay attire, both for himself and horse; the braided trousers, the broad sombrero, the gay serape, the silver spurs, and the embossed and inlaid saddle exhibit a facet of his character. “He carried the lance for show, and was most skillful and devastating

with the knife. As a warrior he was, on the whole, inferior to the Comanche and wholly unequal to the Texan. The whine of the leaden slugs stirred in him an irresistible impulse to travel with rather than against the music. He won more victories over the Texans by parley than by force of arms. For making promises – and for breaking them – he had no peer. “The Texan, who composed the third side of this cultural triangle was a transplanted American, an outrunner of the American frontier. His qualities are too well known to warrant description. The mountains of Tennessee, the turbulent society of Missouri, the aristocracy of Virginia contributed their adventurous elements to his composition. “These out-riding frontiersmen were farmers primarily, woodsmen, riflemen, and fighters. They were Protestant in religion, democratic in politics and social life, individualists in all things, following only such leaders as could stay out in front. These early Texans knew nothing of Mexican character, had never seen the Plains, and had no knowledge of fighting Indians on horseback.

Indian. “The Mexican caballero, whose complex character is more difficult for us to understand than is that of the Indian warrior, now passes before us. The Mexican nation arises from the heterogeneous mixture of races that compose it. The Indian blood – but not Plains Indian blood – predominates, but in it is a mixture of European, largely Latin. “The result is a conglomerate with all gradations from pure Spanish to pure Indian. There are corresponding social gradations with grandees at the top and peons at the bottom. The language is Spanish, or Mexican, the religion Catholic, the temperament volatile and mercurial. Without disparagement it may be said that there is a cruel streak in the Mexican nature, or so the history of Texas would lead one to believe. This cruelty may be heritage from the Spanish of the Inquisition; it may, the doubtless should, be attributed partly to the Indian blood. “Among the common class, ignorance and superstition prevail, making the rabble susceptible to the evil influence of designing leaders.

“They had used horses for transportation, but they were not habitual horsemen, and their weapons were unsuited to mounted warfare. They were intelligent, cool, calculating, and capable of sustained endurance and suffering. For weapons they carried the long rifle, which they used with unerring precision; the horse pistol and the knife constituted their side arms. Finding none of these weapons suitable for use on horseback, they later adopted and improved the revolver which became their own sweet weapon. “The Texas Rangers represented the Texans in their conflict with Plains warriors and Mexican vaqueros and caballeros and in the fighting that followed they learned much from their enemies. In order to win, or even to survive, they combined the fighting qualities of three races. In the words of an observer a Texas Ranger could ride like a Mexican, trail like an Indian, shoot like a Tennessean, and fight like a devil.

Gov. rails against Dallas sheriff’s detention policy

ov. Greg Abbott on Oct. 26 wrote to Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez, saying her “case-by-case immigrant detention plan will no longer be tolerated in Texas.” Under the sheriff’s current policy, an undocumented person who committed minor offenses is not held past their release date an extra 48 hours for federal immigration authorities. Abbott accused Valdez “of refusing to automatically detain all criminal immigrants pursuant to the U.S. Immigration & Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) federal detainer program, which is designed to prevent dangerous criminals from being released into communities.” The governor said actions the State of Texas could take to combat such policies are: • Passing laws that prohibit any policy or action that promotes sanctuary to people in this state illegally.

• Enacting laws that make it illegal for a sheriff's department to not honor a federal immigration detainer request. • Evaluating the extent to which local taxpayers should foot the bill for local decisions that increase costs for Texas' health and education systems. • Amending the Tort Claims Act to ensure counties are fully financially responsible for the actions of any illegal immigrants who are released because the county’s sheriff failed to honor an ICE detainer request. AG seeks to intervene Last week, the Texas Attorney General’s Office filed court papers requesting to intervene in the City of Austin’s lawsuit against the Travis County Appraisal District. In its lawsuit filed Aug. 25, the capital city is appealing “systematic undervaluation” of certain commercial properties by the county appraisal district. The city alleges the appraisal district’s action shifts the tax

burden to residential homeowners and thus is in violation of the state constitution. A c STATE cording to an Oct. CAPITAL 29 news r e l e a s e HIGHLIGHTS by Texas Ed Sterling Attorney General Ken Paxton, “Austin is attempting to invalidate Texas’ non-disclosure law, which prevents taxing authorities from forcing property owners to disclose personal information regarding purchases and sales. Doing away with this protection would affect all Texas property owners, commercial and residential alike.” Further, the news release said, “The district court barred

Funds also will go toward updating or constructing transportation facilities in or near the cities of South Padre Island, Early, Weatherford and Cedar Creek. According to TxDOT, the Lone Star State has the largest rural population in the U.S., with more than 6 million residents living outside urban areas. Between 2000 and 2010, TxDOT reported, the state’s rural population grew by 7.5 percent.

Because the city is attempting to rewrite Texas tax law and taxpayers are entirely unrepresented, the Texas Attorney General’s Office is asking to intervene.” The appraisal of the Circuit of The Americas racetrack is a prominent bone of contention between the city and the appraisal district.

Frosh girls 5-4A champs The ninth grade Lady Porcupine volleyball squad was nigh unstoppable this season. Especially in district play were Springtown (24-1, 8-0) never lost. Coached by Missy Castro, the freshman Springtown unit lost only one time – in the opening match of the season against 6A Weatherford. Then came 24 wins in a row, including victories in the final three 5-4A contests over Bridgeport (25-20, 25-15), Lake Worth (25-17, 25-13), and Decatur (25-21, 24-13). Coach Castro said, “This team has established a winning tradition. This is a special group of girls, and I am excited to see what the future holds for them.” In the season ending clash against Decatur, Maddie Owens had 8 digs and 3 aces, Addison Farris added 7 kills, and 2 aces and Kambree Smith served a pair of aces.

Lady Porcupines take bi-district Vernon is Area foe

BY MARK K. CAMPBELL The first foray into the postseason went well – eventually – for the Lady Porcupine volleyball team. Springtown (22-13) faced Midlothian Heritage at Benbrook Middle-High School Nov. 2. SHS won 20-25, 25-13, 25-23, 26-28, 15-6. It was hardly a walk in the park. Coach Leighanne Strickland said, “We had a slow start, but once the jitters calmed, we did well.” After falling in game one, the Lady Porcupines excelled in game two, fueled by an exceptional stretch of serving from Sydney Farris who would finish the match with 5 aces. The tide really turned in game three. Facing a Lady Jaguar squad that had no seniors, Springtown fell behind 5-12 at one point. But SHS roared back to square the score; then the teams stayed even all the way to 20-20. A big kill by Ashton WeavKennedy Sonne (8) smashes a ball against Midlothian Heritage.

– got the Lady Porcupines to game point, but Heritage drew to within 24-23. A final kill by Weaver sealed the deal. Game four was a marathon. After another Weaver kill, Springtown led 23-19, two points from a match win. But Heritage tied it only to see SHS get to 24-23. Twice, however, when the Lady Porcupines could win, Springtown faulted on serves. When the Lady Jaguars finally won, 28-26, momentum belonged to Heritage. But not for long. In the deciding game behind the lead-off serving of Farris, SHS bolted out to a 7-0 lead and Heritage never got closer than five points. In that final game, the Lady Porcupines were liquid on the court. “We looked good moving and transitioning,” Strickland recalled. Jordan Babcock blocked 2.5 balls and Karrah Cooper and Mackensie Martin both had 14 digs; SHS finished with 61.

Date changes send football contest into tizzy When last week’s Friday night football games got moved to Thursday because of impending stormy weather, football contest entrants were suddenly in good shape. Not only could they get every high school game right, but the tie-breaker – Springtown 61, Lake Worth 26 (87) – could be hit right on the nose. That’s what happened, too. Fortunately, the college and professional games separated some prognosticators. When it was all said and done, four entrants missed two

games each. All the cash in the contest – $35 – was piled up and divided by 4. So, earning a colossal $8.75 apiece were James Franklin, Paul Rayfield, and Blondie and Wes Robinson. Every guesser missed different games with Texas Tech falling to Oklahoma State being on the list as well as the New York Giants, University of Texas, Azle, and Green Bay falling. This week’s contest is the last one for 2015; it’ll then be off until next August.

Next up Castleberry

The Lions are unlikely to reach the postseason. Should Castleberry upset Springtown and Lake Worth beat Alvarado – both highly unlikely – then the playoff seeding would be scrambled. However, almost certainly SHS will win and Lake Worth will lose, making the Porcupines third and the Frogs fourth in 5-4A. The Lions got their first win of the season last week against fellow 0-9 at the time rival Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis, 35-0.

Cold War Spies movie is an Old School drama Tom Hanks continues to prove he’s a phenomenal actor with Bridge of Spies. And Steven Spielberg is leaving a legacy like no one before. About the film Spielberg is famed for directing some of the greatest movies ever. No one can match his successes, not even Martin Scorsese. Spielberg’s mark on cinematic history is colossal. He’s made great movies in every genre: Horror – Jaws (1975) Sci-fi – Close Encounters of the Third Kind (1977) Action – Raiders of the Lost Ark (1981) Kids’ movie – E.T. The Extra-Terrestrial (1982) Drama – The Color Purple (1985) War – Schlindler’s List (1993, Movie Man No. 22, 9) and Saving Private Ryan (1998, MM #244, 8); don’t ask the Movie Man to choose Creature feature – Jurassic Park (1993, MM #5, 9, Best of Year) Historical – Lincoln (2012, MM #1010, 8) About all that’s left for Spielberg to conquer are a comedy and a western. His major foray into the former, 1941 (1979) is famous for being just too much onscreen madness. He’s never directed a western. He has produced the weird sci-fi/western Cowboys & Aliens (2011, MM #941, 7). Actually, it’s Spielberg’s astonishing producing skills that make him the most incredible American in movies ever; it’s where he makes his documentaries, too. Among the projects he has produced or executive produced (out of over 150 and aside from all those listed above): Poltergeist (1982); Gremlins (1984); Back to the Future (1985); The Goonies (1985); Who Framed Roger Rabbit?

but it happens too often. The rating Bridge of Spies is a straightup old school PG drama until a couple of f-bombs – used humorously – push it to a mild PG-13. Summing up Any Hanks-Spielberg teamup is going to be decent. This one isn’t one of the greats – but it’s better than almost anything else out there right now. Next up James Bond in Spectre. Current Bond Daniel Craig says this will be his final time to portray the spy because he isn’t sure the former MI-5 outing could be topped. That last Bond, Skyfall (2012, MM #1008, 8), made more money internationally than any before – $1.11 billion. That’s No. 13 on the all-time list; overall, 23 movies have reached $1 billion worldwide.

Veterans Day 96 years old BY MARK K. CAMPBELL It all began with the end of the “Great War.” That’s what World War I was called. While the war officially ended with the signing of the Treaty of Versailles on June 28, 1919, fighting had actually ceased months before. An armistice – a temporary cessation of hostilities – was declared Nov. 11, 1918: the “eleventh hour of the eleventh day of the eleventh month.” At that time, Allied nations and Germany stopped fighting. Because of this, the “war to end all wars” is considered to have ended Nov. 11, 1918. Honoring soldiers President Woodrow Wilson proclaimed the first Armistice Day to be celebrated Nov. 11, 1919. He said, “To us in America, the reflections of Armistice Day will be filled with solemn pride in the heroism of those who died in the country’s service and with gratitude for the victor, both because of the thing from which it has just freed us and because of the opportunity it has given America to show her sympathy with peace and justice in the councils of the nations.” Initially, parades were conducted and businesses briefly stopped at 11 a.m. Congress officially recognized the end of the war June 4, 1926 and noted that – since 27 states had already recognized Nov. 11 as a legal holiday – it become official nationally.

Annually, the Office of Public Affairs conducts a contest for a National Veterans Day Poster; this is the 2015 winner. See former victors at va.gov – click on “Poster Gallery” on the bottom of the opening page.

Originally called Armistice Day day “to honor American veterans of all wars.” President Dwight Eisenhower signed a proclamation on Oct. 8 that year declaring the “widespread observance of this anniversary” to honor all vets. Some confusion That date was cemented in American calendars until June 28, 1968. That’s when the Uniform Holiday Bill was passed to give federal workers three-day weekends. The designated holidays included Washington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, Columbus Day, and Veterans Day. Not all states agreed with this idea and continued to celebrate that quartet of special days on their specific, original dates. The Uniform Holiday Bill kicked in on Oct. 25, 1971. However, the new law met with much confusion, especially on Veterans Day. Clearly, the historic and patriotic Nov. 11 date meant much to many. So, on Sept. 20, 1975, President Gerald R. Ford signed a law to return to observance of Veterans Day to Nov. 11, beginning in 1978. The move was supported overwhelmingly by the majority of state legislatures, and veterans’ service organizations. Today, no matter what day it falls on, Veterans Day is Nov. 11. As the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs notes: “The observance of Veterans Day on Nov. 11 not only preserves the historical significance of the date, but helps place attention on the important purpose of Veterans Day: A celebration to honor America’s veterans for their patriotism, love of country, and willingness to serve and sacrifice for the common good.”

Future wars/aggressions In 1954, after the Second Great War, America had seen the greatest mobilization of soldiers, sailors, Marines, and airmen in the history of the United States. Veterans Day facts Plus American forces were fighting “aggression in Korea.” With 1.6 million veterans, Texas has the third most, behind Veterans’ services began calling for “Armistice” to be replaced California’s 2.1 million and Florida’s 1.7 million. with “Veterans” on Nov. 11. On June 1, 1954, legislation was approved to make Nov. 11 a PLEASE SEE CELEBRATING, PAGE 4B

PC plant fundraising event ongoing Yes, bluebonnets and fall wildflower seeds should be planted now. Fall seedlings need the winter to build root growth, staying close to the ground until spring. The Parker County Soil and Water Conservation District (SWCD) is again taking prepaid orders for its annual tree seedlings fundraiser until Thursday, Feb. 18. Delivered in bulk by the Texas Forest Service, seedlings will be ready for pick up on Feb. 26. This year, containerized species include Afghanistan Pine, American Plum, Oriental Arborvitae, Austrian Pine, Bald Cypress, Deodara Cedar, Fourwing Saltbush, Honeylocust, Italian Stone Pine, Lacebark Elm, and Pinyon Pine. The seedlings are 6 to 12 inches tall, with a 10 cubic inch root volume, in a plastic tube.

They sell for $2.80 each or in sealed boxes of 25 for $70. Bare-rooted hardwood seedlings are generally 18 to 24 inches in length, and are only available for purchase in lots of 25 for $35 each. Hardwoods offered this year include bur oak, sawtooth oak, Shumard oak, and pecan. Another favorite sold year-round are rain barrels and various attachments. Rainwater is naturally soft as it lacks chemicals added to drinking water, so plants have a tendency to grow healthier when using rainwater. Rain barrels placed to collect runoff from a home’s roof can save untold dollars during the summer and could save precious plants and trees from the devastating effects of the hot summer sun. Rain barrels, which can be
