Rollover injures two BY NATALIE GENTRY Two people were injured in a single vehicle rollover accident Nov. 27 on Prather Road southwest of Springtown. The accident occurred at proximately 3:27 p.m. Department of Public Safety (DPS) Troopers were called to the scene on Prather Road at the JE Woody Road intersection. According to DPS, a black Ford Escape was traveling west on JE Woody Road, approaching a stop sign. The driver stopped but could not see if the intersection was clear. When the Ford Escape moved forward to check the intersection, a northbound Dodge pickup saw the Escape, swerved, and lost control of the vehicle causing it to roll approximately two times. Both occupants of the Dodge were taken to JPS Hospital in Fort Worth. A woman was transported via air ambulance with serious injuries and a male occupant was transported via ground ambulance with non-life threatening injuries.

Christmas Tour of Homes returns Dec. 7

Garbage is pulled from the holes dug at 600 Union Lane. Tom and Dorothy Odom had the pit dug after multiple sinkholes appeared in the property and the well water went bad.

Bad weather date Dec. 8 BY NATALIE GENTRY Saturday, Dec. 7 will feature Springtown’s Christmas Tour of Homes which kicks off at 5:30 p.m. at the Legends Museum. However, in case of inclement weather, the tour will be moved to Sunday, Dec. 8, from 5-8 p.m. Each of the houses on the tour is a visual feast of Christmas joy. The hosts have rolled out the proverbial red carpet and created amazing spaces that embrace the holiday spirit. While on the tour, keep an eye out for those details that add that special touch to the homes. Which home features a framed Christmas wish list from the homeowner’s childhood?

Who has a white ceramic Christmas tree adorned with adorable little red cardinals? Which house displays the story of The Night Before Christmas in a uniquely visual way? Who has a fabulous “big city” view of the Springtown night lights? And which one is home to mischievous hiding elves? One of the major attractions on the tour is the live nativity that will be displayed at the Agnes Baptist Church. All of the proceeds from the tour go to the Springtown Legends Museum. Anyone interested in participating in the tour next year should contact the Chamber office. They are always looking for new homes to join in the celebration.

Local couple fights to have an illegal dump recognized BY NATALIE GENTRY Tom and Dorothy Odom knew something was wrong with the property at 600 Union Lane in Springtown. They first noticed the holes in the property when mowing the grass in 2010. “I had mowed a section in the back and I noticed a hole by the neighbor’s fence,” Dorothy Odom said. “We measured it and it was two feet wide by two feet deep.”

UIL changes will affect Springtown SHS now a ‘Big School’ in ‘4A’ BY MARK K. CAMPBELL On Dec. 2, the University Interscholastic League released conference cutoff numbers for the 2014-16 school years. In that unprecedented advance move, school officials were informed on which size classification their district would fall in; usually that happens every February and is a great mystery for some schools. Beginning next August, all classifications will bump up a number: six-man becomes 1A; 5A becomes 6A, etc. Last October, Springtown submitted

a UIL-required attendance number – the average daily membership, sometimes called a “snapshot” – for reclassification. SISD’s snapshot was 889. That falls squarely in the upcoming “4A” span of 465 to 1,059. But that’s not the big news. The substantial change is now 4A schools will be grouped in specific districts as Division I (“Big School”) and Division II (“Small School”). Currently, Springtown sits in 6-3A. PLEASE SEE SPRINGTOWN, PAGE 3A.

“I kept thinking ‘why would anybody dig a hole here and just leave it,’” she continued. But that was just the beginning. The Odoms noticed other holes forming and places on the property beginning to sink. They realized the holes were continuing to grow when some of the vehicles Tom Odom kept on the property sank down to the axles. “Then Tom’s horse fell in a hole and

broke its hip,” Dorothy Odom said. “But what made us finally report the property was when our well went bad in October 2010.” They then found out that the neighbor’s well had been bad for years. What’s wrong? Searching for answers, the Odoms called the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) which contacted the PLEASE SEE ILLEGAL, PAGE 2A.

TCU donation saves SISD 100K New bus technology, Special Ed., and concerns about a fight discussed BY NATALIE GENTRY November was a big month for the Springtown Independent School District’s (SISD) technology department. The department, in conjunction with the transportation, moved to a new server to allow for the use of the updated Transfinder routing program. This program tracks the buses on their routes. This new version enables the district to tell the path the buses take, the speed the buses travel, the speed limits on the roads they take, where the buses stop, and how long they are idle. In addition, the update provides a service program for the district’s mechanics. Huge news for the technology department and the district as a whole was the acquisition of 250 gently used Hewlett Packard (HP) computers from

Texas Christian University (TCU). This purchase will enable the district to upgrade over 150 employees to Windows 7, replace outdated units in three computer labs, and replace and add student computers throughout the district. The district was able to purchase the computers at a tremendous discount that saved over $100,000. Special education The district is once again staged in the Performance Based Monitoring (PBM) system this year regarding the Special Education program. A leadership team made up of campus and central office administrators has been created to conduct a needs assessment and create an intervention plan to address any areas of concern for the special education program

such as passing rates on the state tests, placements in instructional settings, special education graduation rate, and ISS placement. Financial accountability SISD received a rating of “Superior Achievement” under the Schools Financial Integrity Rating System of Texas (FIRST). This rating is the highest that a school district can earn in the accountability system. Schools FIRST measures the quality of a district’s financial management and reporting. The system ensures that Texas school districts are accountable not only for student learning, but also for achieving results cost-effectively and efficiently.

Illegal dump woes finally settled ■ ILLEGAL, FROM PAGE ONE. who now owned the property

Parker County Environmental Department. They were told that an investigator would be sent out within 30 days to look at the property. However, no one showed up. They called again a few months later and the county sent out an investigator. The investigator told the Odoms to dig up some of the holes so that the contents, if any, could be documented. “We paid Jack Brewer to come out and dig up some of the holes,” Odom said. “He dug up all this trash, so we called the investigator again and he came right out and took more pictures.” The Odoms were told that they had, in effect, reported a dump and that the company

would be notified. After a time of trying to contact the investigator again, he was finally reached and let them know that arrests would be made. They never heard from that investigator again.

“We did our best to stop the land from being sold and subdivided,” she continued. “And we have been harassed, and mocked and watched constantly.” Once the Odoms began the moving process they were shocked at the turn of events. “We pulled some pieces trash out to the front to be picked up and someone turned us in for it,” Odom said. “So Mr. [George] Conley [county Pct. 1 commissioner] came right out and we explained why it was there.” Later Dorothy Odom called Conley, and asked why the response to their garbage was so quick when the dump in the back was still untouched. Conley had no knowledge of the dump.

Getting no help The Odoms’ next few months were filled with court dates and depositions about the ownership of the property. Finally, the family decided to stop funneling money into what they felt was a lost cause and move. “The only reason we stayed there was to make sure it was established that there was an illegal dump,” Odom said. “We didn’t want this to happen to Finally settled someone else.

Apparently, the investigator had closed the case without taking any action. Lanny Padgett was assigned to the case. “Mr. Padgett came right out and took more pictures and we finally dug up one of the big holes,” Odom said. “We pulled out car parts, more tires, drywall, and paint cans.” Padgett told the Odoms the dump would be taken care of. “Most of our time after the dump was discovered was spent just waiting on the other investigator to get back to us,” she continued. “We’re through with 600 Union Lane.” Padgett said that multiple parties with interests in the property are working with the county to clean the property.

haps even for district play. Turner said, “They’ve got to fill up those districts.” He noted that Wichita Falls Hirschi and Burkburnett are “out there alone.” Springtown might be paired with them or that duo could be sent, well, who knows where? “The travel for some schools out west could be a nightmare,” Turner said. With the new setup, even a first round bi-district contest could result in a lengthy trip, too. The AD said, “I know what they are trying to do.” He added that it’s possible that Springtown could keep its current district and play two more years that way. Turner also said Springtown could get jettisoned to other “Big

School” 4As in the area – Sanger, Argyle, Mineral Wells, Graham, Stephenville. Because of the dearth of teams – the current 3A has fewer schools in it than any other classification – Turner said he expects most districts to be just five or six teams. “I don’t see how they can make seven or eight team districts,” he said. “It looks like five or six. Six is ideal. If you have an odd number, that means you’ll have an open date.” And that can make scheduling a mid-season headache. There’s no way to predict what will happen, Turner said. The UIL will release the district breakdowns on Monday, Feb. 3.

Athletic director Brad Turner said it’s possible SHS would notice no change since “every one of the schools in our district right now will be Big School.” The 2014-16 Division I enrollment span is 686-1,059; at 889, Springtown is securely in the middle.

hospital. The majority of the concern expressed by one man focused on the alleged actions of the head coach following the fight. He said the coach permitted the other players to vote to decide if the boy involved in the altercation should play in the game the following Friday instead of making the decision himself.

action and expressed concern regarding the fairness of this and other decisions made by the coach. His stance was that this incident was serious enough that the decisions should have been made by an authority figure, not by the kid’s friends. The men both called for action by the board to ensure discipline is equally enforced throughout the athletic program and the district.

‘Flipping’ classes introduced at SMS BY MARK K. CAMPBELL What if you learned at home and did your homework at school? That’s the idea behind “flipping” – a modern concept gaining popularity in the Spring-

History/vocabulary teacher Erica Weber presented a couple of short “flipping” lessons to Springtown Optimist Club members. Photos by Mark K. Campbell

town ISD. At the Dec. 3 meeting of the Springtown Optimist Club, middle school principal Mark Wilson and history/vocabulary teacher Erica Weber detailed the concept. Weber said she first heard of the idea of a “reverse teaching model” at the Region 11 Education Service Center in Fort Worth. She said she liked the idea and immediately put it into use at SMS. “In eighth grade history, students learn 45 people,” Weber said. She added that the brief videos – often humorous – capture the attention of her students and they learn and retain more. “I try to make lessons humorous and entertaining. They watch at home and do homework in the classroom,” Wilson said. Students access lessons online and fill out workbooks. Topics are covered in class with

Weber as the facilitator. For students without Internet access, Wilson said electronics are available to check out and there are labs on campus for students to use before or after school. “They can even use friends’ cell phones to get the lessons,” the principal said. Wilson said the program has been a big success and has far more pros than cons. “It levels the playing field and helps bring kids out of their shells,” he said. “And there’s more one-on-one time with teachers.” By being able to pause and rewind lessons, students can learn at their own pace, often with substantial parental involvement. That later element particularly helps in math and science, Wilson said. “It promotes a higher level of thinking,” he said. “And students relate to teachers better.” That’s something Weber said

Facebook post of dead owl leads to citation BY NATALIE GENTRY A Springtown man is facing charges for hunting a non-game bird after posting a picture of himself holding a dead Great Horned Owl. Adolfo Rosales-Pozos, 36, claimed the owl was killing his chickens. An anonymous tip led Parker County Animal Control Super-

visor, Karen Kessler to notify Texas Parks and Wildlife Game Warden, Deshanna Creager. According to the Parker County Sheriff’s Office, when Creager investigated, RosalesPozos stated that he shot the owl with a pellet gun and was issued a class C misdemeanor citation that carries a $45-$500 fine. Creager said that it is not un-

common for owls to kill and take chickens and suggested the use of a red strobe light to discourage the birds from taking other animals. According to Creager, the Great Horned Owl is a federally protected bird and it is against the law to kill it as well as other birds of prey like hawks and falcons.

her students particularly enjoy. She makes her short, educational videos at home and said students enjoy seeing her away from school, at home, sometimes with her children playing in the background. Weber presented a couple of examples with a video illustrating a few facts about Presidents Lincoln and Washington while holding up their names before the camera. The program is proving to be especially effective with students in ESL, English as a Second Language.

Overall, Weber said she is sold on flipping. “It’s exciting. The kids are taking to it. It’s a cool way to do homework.” Whether flipping becomes a primary teaching method in the SISD remain to be seen, Wilson said. “In the future, we could be all flip, no flip, or a combination,” he noted. Wilson added, “Today’s students are 21st century learners – they learn differently.” Flipping is another way to educate, taking advantage of current technology, he noted.

Springtown Middle School principal Mark Wilson oversees the implementation of a new teaching concept to eighth graders.

Reno food pantry working to make holidays bright BY NATALIE GENTRY The city of Reno raised enough money last week to provide Thanksgiving dinner for 11 families in need of help. Thanks to the donations from citizens, council members, and mayor, the city was able to purchase six turkeys and five hams. In addition, Reno Elementary School completed its fourth annual Thanksgiving food drive. The students collected 552 canned items for the Reno food pantry which, in turn, helped 15 local families. Now that Thanksgiving is over the food and clothing pantries are running low on supplies. The city will be kicking into high gear to collect items for families who need assistance this Christmas. All donations for both pantries can be dropped off at Reno City Hall.

1894 Wedding Chapel

For any and all occasions, Brownstone Wedding Chapel is ready to make your dreams and visions come to life.

The venue is breathtaking, situated in the heart of Weatherford at 112 West Oak Street. Elaborate stained glass windows and wooden pews await patrons. And brides glow when descending the staircase. The Brownstone chapel was built in 1894 and was formerly the Central Christian Church before owner/manager Molly Cantrell converted the building into a fullydecorated chapel that seats 150 people. Larger weddings/receptions Brownstone is ideal for elaborate weddings. In business for more than 10 years, Brownstone patrons will find the chapel – located one block south then west of the Parker County courthouse – fully decorated with prices that range from $595 to $1,195 (for weddings only). Exquisite dressing rooms are just steps from the chapel. A wedding reception package from $1,800 also includes a decorated reception hall. Sweet & Simple or elopement ceremonies Do you want a simple wedding but something much nicer than a “Justice of the Peace” ceremony? Brownstone offers a unique opportunity for those seeking a simple wedding or elopement that’s more than a Justice of the Peace ceremony.

A chaplain is included. Reservations are required and honored 365 days of the year. Prices range from $275 for a no-guest, bride and groom only service to $375 for a simple wedding with up to four people to $425 for 12 people attending with the bride and groom. For the final Sundays in 2013, all Sweet & Simple weddings and elopements will be performed at $50 off the regular price. The beauty of the building has attracted couples from all over the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Aside from memorable weddings, Brownstone is also an on-site event center. Ms. Cantrell has earned a Bachelor of Business Administration and has decades of experience in the wedding business as well as being a C.P.A. Assistant manager Julie Stegall has more than 10 years experience in the event industry and holds a BBA in Hospitality. There is no place like Brownstone in Parker County.

Rev. Roger L. Hobbs, Sr.

1921 - 2013

Funeral services for Walter Buckel, 92, former Lamesa newspaper publisher, were held Monday, Dec. 2, 2013 at 2 p.m. at the Lamesa Church of Christ with Mark Hackett officiating. Interment followed in Lamesa Memorial Park under the direction of Branon Funeral Home. Buckel passed away Wednesday morning, Nov. 27, at his home in Lubbock. He was born Nov. 22, 1921 in the Imperial Valley of Southern California, the son of Fred and Irene (Huth) Buckel. Leaving school during his senior year at Holtville, California, he began playing minor league baseball in California, Kansas and Nebraska. He came to Lamesa in 1941 and signed a contract to play for the Lamesa Lobos of the West Texas/New

Mexico League. Buckel served as a radio operator with the U.S. Army Air Corps in North Africa during World War II. After the war he resumed playing baseball and married Rubye Neile Mitchell on March 3, 1947 in Montgomery, Ala. They decided to make Lamesa their permanent home after he returned to play baseball here in 1947. He served as business manager of the Lamesa Baseball Club and then as cafeteria and transportation director for the Lamesa Independent School District. He was elected Dawson County Clerk and served four and one half years before resigning in 1957 to enter the insurance business. In 1960 he was named manager of KPET radio station and held that position until 1967, when he purchased the Dawson County Free Press, a weekly newspaper in Lamesa. The following year he joined with James Roberts of Andrews to purchase the Lamesa Reporter and merged the two publications to form the Lamesa Press-Reporter. He served as publisher of the Press-Reporter until 1991 and as president of the newspaper and of his sister company, South Plains Printing, until 1993. He remained on the

Medications Used for Seasonal Depression Seasonal depression, also known as seasonal affective disorder (SAD), is a depression that occurs during certain times of the year. It is most commonly associated with the beginning of fall and lasting during winter months (“winter blues”), but may occur in the spring and summer seasons as well. Symptoms include a lack of energy, feeling drowsy during the day, increased sleeping, anxiety, lost of interest in usual activities, cravings for sweets or carbohydrate-rich foods, and weight gain. The exact cause of seasonal depression is unknown, but can be contributed to an imbalance of certain chemicals in the brain. A lack of sunlight, which can disrupt the body’s internal clock, is a possible cause, hence light therapy is a treatment often used for SAD. A variety of antidepressants can be prescribed to also help treat SAD. Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs) like fluoxetine (Prozac, Sarafem), sertraline (Zoloft), and paroxetine (Paxil) help to balance serotonin, a chemical in the brain than can affect mood. Medications such as venlafaxine (Effexor) and duloxetine (Cymbalta) alter both the levels of serotonin and norepinephrine, another chemical in the brain that can affect how someone feels. Bupropion (Wellbutrin XL) can also be prescribed for individuals who have a history of SAD.

While at least one big city television station reported that the city has requested an investigation into the cause of the quakes, city manager Craig Lemin says that’s not entirely correct. “If we were going to request an investigation at the state level, we would have started with Representatives (Charlie) Geren and (Phil) King – but they were already on top of it,” Lemin said. “Representative Geren has advised us he would get us a copy of the report once it is available.” Once the report is seen by city offi cials, they can evaluate what needs to be done from there, Lemin said. However, he cautioned, the research will take considerable time and will likely involve offi cials in all the impacted areas. “Cleburne experienced a series of quakes in June 2009. The geologists collected data for a year and it was 2012 before the report from that study was fi nally published,” Lemin said. “That report indicated disposal wells may be contributing to the quakes but stopped short of concluding they were the source.” Lemin stressed there is no quick answer to what is causing the quakes in the area and even after some study, there may not be a conclusive answer.

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Administrators, council members, some staff and a double handful of citizens were a bit shaken up at 6:40 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19, when the strongest earthquake to occur to date in the area – magnitude 3.6 – shook city hall during a council meeting. Most of those in attendance likened the experience to feeling as if a vehicle had hit the building – a slight rumble immediately followed by a loud “boom” and more rumbling.

Two very different men leave behind legacies

went to two funerals within days of each other – two men, one 58, one 92, who could hardly have been more different yet both made substantial contributions to many. And me. David died from throat cancer. He smoked and was overweight and hated exercising and was crude and sometimes an adult bully. But, man, was he a great firefighter. He was also one of the five funniest guys I’ve ever known. His astonishing quick wit would sometimes be vulgar, but his retort would be eye-wateringly hilarious. Firefighters, like soldiers and lawmen, live on the edge and they move through the world with gusto. When there might not be a tomorrow, you squeeze everything out of today. That was David. He’d tell you that’s why

he smoked and ate and was edgy – we have today; let’s wring it out. Of all the friends I’ve ever had, I never liked a guy more, considering we had almost nothing in common. I once came in from a nocturnal jog while we were on duty, sweating from the summertime humidity and heat. David was sprawled out in a recliner, pants undone and smoking a cigarette with an empty bowl of Blue Bell on the arm, watching PBS. I said, “Can you believe we get paid to work out?” He replied, “Can you believe we get paid to watch the birth of a baby sea otter on TV?” We often stayed up late, discussing our kids at 3:35 in the morning – the only subject we ever agreed on. He always told me, “Mark, you’re a nice guy. You’re just wired wrong.” If we had a major fire, David was

the guy you wanted in the forefront of the firefight. He was also a genius at serious vehicle accidents; with his automotive background, no one freed frightened, ON YOUR trapped victims faster than DaMARK vid. Mark K. Campbell His motor burned out at 58. But he left behind a slew of talented firefighters trained in his hardnosed manner – with everyone laughing all the way. Walter made it to five days past 92.

He played pro ball, was a WWII vet, and ran a newspaper. In between, he was a superior example of exactly what a godly man is supposed to be. Gentle and conscientious, civicminded and a positive father, he always put others first. Walter was a classic example of being a good example. He was a role model for many, from his work ethic to his financial savvy to his journalistic skills. You always hear at funerals: “No one every said a bad thing about [the deceased].” Walter is the only person I’ve know that such a statement is true. For scores of people, when the U.S. mail would arrive, there’d be a small envelope addressed to them. Inside would be a simple note – sometimes handwritten, other times typed (al-

ways on an old school typewriter) – from Walter. The letters always conveyed an encouraging message. Once I got one that also contained a $2 bill. It was so cool to get such an uplifting surprise. In this life, it’s easy to be mean; but it’s just as easy to be nice. Walter’s positive notes came unsolicited and out of the blue – and they were always cherished. To be honest, I can’t see David and Walter hanging out. Yet, I was fortunate during our lifetimes to intersect with them both – certainly the only person on earth to do so. And that’s what makes life so great – living it! Whether you get 58 or 92 years. Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and tries to be a good guy.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR On Christmas, Jesus, and politics

Black Friday numbers dip For the first time since 2009, retail merchants saw Black Friday profits drop. With Thursday – Thanksgiving Day – openings, retailers’ Black Friday numbers fell, in brick and mortar buildings and online. Estimates by the National Retail Federation said consumers spent three percent less than in 2012, $57.4 billion to $59.1 billion. That equates to each person spend-

ing $407.22 less, a 3.9 percent drop. The reason for the decrease, the group said, is the ever-growing popularity of businesses opening on Thanksgiving Day. The poor start could mean even more bad news for retailers. This year, the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day is shorter than ever, just 27 days. Compared to 2012, that’s six fewer

days this shopping season. A Morgan Stanley study projects a season-wide drop of 3.5 percent from last year. Walmart and Target have already reduced holiday profit projections. Among the reasons for customer decline in spending are concerns about the economy and “mission shopping” where a single item is purchased then the customer leaves the store.

Merry Christmas! I hope that you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are looking forward to a very Merry Christmas! We spend a lot of time talking about politics. I am involved in politics because as a Christian, I am called to service to elect Godly men and women to office that promote policies that enrich our country and protect our freedoms. In all things, we have choices. The Lord has granted much to all of us that live in this country that is prosperous and has freedoms that we have obviously taken for granted, but more important, He has given us the opportunity to accept His grace. During this season, I am reminded that Jesus Christ came to this world to be the sacrifice for our sin. He died on the cross so that we may be reconciled with God through His blood. The Lord says that all who believe and accept Jesus as Savior and Lord will be saved. The Christmas season is a reminder of His love and sacrifice. My prayer for you today and every day is that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and that you know the only true source of strength. All politics is spiritual, a fight for values and principles to lead our nation. Those principles need to be God centered. Each of us needs to be active in the political process to make sure that the platform reflects our values and to make sure that we elect men and women to political office that share and will vote our values. I believe in the individual’s ability to provide solutions. I believe in

personal accountability and the right to benefit from work, training, education, and sacrifice. Private property and the right to bear arms should not be a topic for discussion in our state houses or Congress. All life has value. I believe in the right to free speech and the right to worship as we choose. In this season celebrating the Birth of the Savior, we must tell our story. We must resist the “political correctness” that wants to take Christ out of Christmas. We need to stand firm on the Judeo-Christian values our country was founded on and that have made us the “Shining City on the Hill.” To each of you, Merry Christmas! Zan Prince Weatherford

while after freedom. He registered his name as Filmore. “He (the master or overseer) had a 'black snake', some called it a 'bull whip,' and he knew how to use it. He whipped me, but I don't 'member now whether he brought any blood, but he cut the blood out of the grown ones. He didn't tie 'em. He always had a whipping block or a log to make 'em lay down on. They called five hundred licks a 'light breshin,' and right on your naked back too. They said your clothes wouldn't grow up but your hide would.” The old man chuckled at the memory. He never spoke bitterly; it seemed to amuse him to recall those days. “From what I could hear 'em say, if you done wrong or run away, then was when they give you a whippin', probably fifteen hundred or two thousand licks. They'd shore tie you down then, 'cause you couldn't stand it. Then you'd have to work on top of all that with your shirt sticking to your back.” Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

Meek, Mainord earn more honors Kudos keep coming for SHS duo BY MARK K. CAMPBELL The 2013 Springtown volleyball team reached the regional tournament and that was because of the play of several talented Lady Porcupines. Many were honored for their play at the district level. And now a pair of seniors have claimed two new accolades. Shelbi Meek and Ashley Mainord both picked up new recognitions. Meek landed on the Texas Girls Coaches Association AllState team. Forty athletes per conference were selected, acknowledging Meek as one of the top 4A players in Texas. The TGCA volleyball committee made its selection after its annual meeting. No other 6-3A student-athlete made the All-State list. Mainord was picked for the TGCA All-Star Game. Players were selected from conferences 1A, 2A, and 3A and from 4A and 5A. Mainord, who has signed to play volleyball for Western Missouri State, will play for the Red Team. Her squad will face a similarly assembled Blue team in July. Mainord’s Red squad will be coached by Schulenberg’s Donald Zapalac and CastleberStar volleyball Lady Porcupine Ashley Mainord was picked for the Texas Girls CoachSenior Shelbi Meek was selected as an All-State volley- ry’s Yolanda Beasley. es Association All-Star Team.

SHS hoops claim win The Porcupine varsity basketball squad got edged by Peaster, then beat Boyd before falling to Bridgeport. Peaster rallied to catch SHS as the Porcupines lost 47-6. Caleb Brown pumped in a team-high 26 points. Kruz Dominguez netted seven and Dawson Meek scored six points. A huge 23-8 third quarter advantage had propelled SHS to the lead before the Greyhound rally. Springtown (1-4) got its first victory at Boyd, 61-35. Brown turned in a big game with 27 points, four assists and three steals. Books Pennington added eight points and Dominguez netted seven. The Porcupines bolted out to 14-point lead thanks to a 19-point opening quarter. SHS led 34-15 at the half. Zack Burton, Dillon Springfield, and Meek scored four points each. Pennington grabbed six rebounds to pace the Porcupines; Springfield and Brown nabbed five each. Later, Bridgeport beat Springtown 59-53. SHS fell behind big early, 20-6 after one quarter. The rest of the game, the Porcupines out-scored the Bulls 47 to 39. Meek led in scoring with 14 points. He went 7-of-9 from the field. Brown was perfect in five free throw attempts en route to 13 points. Springfield added nine points while Dominguez got eight, six from a pair of three-pointers. Meek was also the top rebounder with seven; Dominguez and Brown grabbed five boards each. Next up for the varsity is a

Ladies tangling with tough foes The Lady Porcupine basketball team is playing a rugged non-district slate. That included games with state-ranked Aledo, former state champ Brock, and potent Graham. Aledo toppled Springtown (0-4), 76-29. Having 26 turnovers makes winning tough and “they probably scored off all of them,” SHS coach Susan Croft said. Katelynn Mainord hit three treys en route to a team high 14 points. Jordan Doremus netted 10 points. Standout Brooklyn Dauenhauer is nursing a pulled quad and scored three points with Kendyl Dean. “It was a rough game,” Croft said. “But we also did some good things that we can build on and that will help us later in district play.” Despite falling to Brock on the road 60-26, Springtown trailed by just 10 at halftime “Unfortunately, we couldn’t get any type of offense working in the second half,” Croft said. Ashley Mainord’s eight points – six coming from a pair of three-pointers – was tops. A limited Dauenhauer added seven points. K. Mainord had six points and four boards. On Dec. 3, the Lady Porcupines traveled to Graham;

Junior varsity –The SHS JV (3-1) stumbled against Peaster. A 1-point first quarter made things rough early in a 52-23 loss. Tristen Brawner led the subvarsity in scoring with seven points. Mateo Herrera netted five and Josh Brundrett and Raul Medina scored four points apiece. That would be the lone loss so far this season as the JV won

its next two games. The young Porcupines put together a strong first half in a 48-42 win over Boyd. Springtown jumped out to a 32-19 lead. Ryan Neal’s 17 points was tops. Medina hit a pair of threepointers en route to 12 points. Brandon Alaspa and Grant Murry added four points each. At home against Bridgeport, the Porcupines used another nice first half to overwhelm Bridgeport 54-46. In this one, the SHS JV led

28-22 after two quarters. Three Springtown players attained double figures – Alaspa (14), Brawner (13), and Medina (12). Neal added eight points and Austin Bauman scored five. If predicted icy weather allows, the SHS JV will play with the Springtown freshmen at a Weatherford Dec. 5-7. On Dec. 12-14, both the JV and frosh will host a tournament. District begins Jan. 10 at home against Lake Worth.

Springtown last played at home Nov. 19 and, after a Dec. 10 game against Bridgeport, won’t enjoy the cozy confines of the SHS gym until the District 6-3A opener against Kennedale, Jan. 3, 2014. The Graham clash was a close one. The Lady Blues won, 53-50. “It was a very intense and physical game,” Croft said. She lauded her squad – many just now settling in to hoops after a long volleyball season – for “coming together as a team.” SHS trailed by just two points with nine seconds left. Both Mainord sisters carded double-doubles. Ashley went 3-of-4 from the three-point line and finished with 15 points to go with 10 rebounds. Katelynn scored 14 points and also grabbed 10 boards. Freshman Adrienne Easter impressed with two bombs in three efforts behind the arc for her six points. Doremus netted five points. “I’m very proud of the girls for the heart and hustle they displayed,” Croft said. “They never quit.” The coach added, “We are getting better every game with the tough competition we are playing.” Weather permitting, SHS plays in a Santo tourney Dec. 5-7.

Wrestlers seeking mat victories Springtown High School’s wrestlers competed in a Birdville six-way event, allowing Porcupines to get in plenty of matches. Coach David Brokenshire said SHS finished fourth overall. He lauded the efforts of several athletes: • Charlie Emmert – 5-0 • Sam Lund – 5-0 • Caci Clark – 5-0 • Benji Brokenshire – 3-1

• Cody Brooks – 3-2 • Jabril Cummings – 3-2 • Trey Johnson – 3-2 • Mark Matkovich – 3-2 • Delious McCoy – 3-2 • Phillip Schneider – 2-2 “As a team, we competed well,” coach Brokenshire said. Next for Springtown is the year’s first home meet. SHS will host Fort Worth Carter-Riverside and Azle at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10 at Springtown Elementary’s gym.

Porcupines fill elite Academic All-District list The Springtown varsity football not only reached the postseason, but did it smartly. Literally. Coach Brad Turner said 35 of SHS’ 45 lettermen landed on the elite 6-3A Academic All-District list. To qualify, student-athletes had to retain a 90 average for the first and second six weeks during the football season. Turner lauded this senior class as being full of leaders and 16 twelfth graders earned spots on the list. Fifteen juniors placed on it as well as three sophomores and a freshman.

Frozen ices old concepts about Disney and girls A great animated movie is good fun for everyone. Right now, there are a couple of examples out there where one cartoon is being panned and the other lauded. About the film The movie being praised right now is this week’s Frozen. The turkey is Free Birds. Disney’s Frozen arrived with much praise as well as kudos for the opening short. Free Birds has been dissed, even with a primo position right before a holiday, Thanksgiving – and a plot about that holiday. With Frozen, Disney has done something very wise. The knock against decades of animated Disney films is that a man always rushes in to save the woeful female. Or the lead, pining girl/lady just wants a Prince Charming to lead her into a wonderful life. Feminists railed against the Mouse House as pandering to little girls and perpetuating long-held sexist beliefs. The studio always claimed to illustrate strong female figures – Ariel of The Little Mermaid, Mulan, Pocahontas – but the other side of the fence was not swayed. Now comes Frozen and it is different. The second of two twists in the film reveal that; for those with long animation memories, it’s a chuckle-inducing change from the malehero-saves-the-day. (The first twist is in “What works.”) For those girl-power inclined, it’s a big step forward for Disney. Frozen has demolished poor Free Birds at the box office. Aside from the Disney logo that entices all age groups, this latest Mouse House effort is clearly aimed above the usual 8-year-old girl audience – by several years. (And it took several years to get the movie made; it’s based on “The Snow Princess,” a story by Hans Christian Anderson.) The Movie Man took a sixyear-old boy and a five-year-

old girl and both were bored madly for over 30 minutes until Olaf the wacky snowman showed up. Then it attracted those younger folk. Frozen is Disney’s first tween girl animated movie and it hits it’s target big time. The plot (spoiler) Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel) are sisters, daughters of royalty. But Elsa has a magical secret – she has winter in her; she can freeze things, make it snow, etc. However, if she can’t control her emotions, she can’t control her powers. When an Elsa event injures feisty Anna, their parents decide to separate the sisters in the giant castle so no more harm will be done. After their parents are killed (it is Disney), Elsa hesitantly ascends to the throne. With people entering the castle for the first time in years, Anna immediately falls in love with Hans (Santino Fontana). When Elsa disapproves of the quickie marriage, an argument results where she accidently reveals her powers to the village. Elsa flees into the mountains – after her green kingdom is cursed with a perpetual winter. Headstrong Anna heads out to fetch her sister who has cre-

Cold hearted princess Starring: (voices) Kristen Bell, Idina Menzel, Jonathan Groff Directed by: Buck & Lee Rated PG for: some rude actions, a scary snow monster email: movieman@azlenews.net

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man ated a mighty ice palace high atop a mountain. Anna runs into an ice worker, Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and his trusty reindeer Sven. Later, they meet Olaf (Josh Gad), a resourceful, accident-prone snowman who is the splitting image of one built by Anna and Elsa in their earlier childhood days. Elsa inadvertently strikes Anna’s heart with an icy blast and she is taken by Kristoff to a group of trolls. The critters say the only hope for Anna is for her to find true love. Kristoff races her back to the Duke. However, twist No. 1 arrives. Anna turns into an icy statue while saving Elsa who has returned to the kingdom.

Mon-Fri Saturday 10-7 11-4 Sunday Closed

Then comes the true love part, something different than any other Disney movie before. And that’s followed by more love and happy endings. (This is Disney.) What works (big spoiler) Frozen looks spectacular. There are some mighty 3-D images but, even without it, the entire movie is incredible. The icy images are astonishing and there’s never a single time when the movie isn’t a visual wonder. As usual, the best parts of Disney movies are not the

human characters but the animals. Sven gets a few laughs, but the film gets juiced when Olaf the snowman arrived. Until then, the two children with the Movie Man were restless; Olaf changed that quickly. The movie seems pre-made musically for adaptation to Broadway. It’s front-loaded with songs and a few of them are snappy. Olaf’s curiosity about what summer must be like is funny and witty. The other big tune highlights the power chords of Menzel (in her second Disney role after Enchanted [2007, Movie Man No. 747, a 5]), “Let It Go.” And the whirlwind, one-day romance of Hans and Anna is encapsulated in “Love is an Open Door.” The opening short, Get a Horse, is very hyperactive and utilized the 3-D process for all it’s worth. About that first big twist teased earlier: Hans is evil. What doesn’t work And this is a biggie: Elsa is plenty underwritten. The reason for her magical powers is never addressed and her story line is clearly secondary

to Anna’s. Her side of the tale could’ve been substantially increased and, in such stark contrast to Anna, Elsa is far more interesting. The first 30 minutes of Frozen are deadly dull. That’s made especially evident after the kinetic opening cartoon. Without question, keeping young boys interested in Frozen is a chore. The stinger (end scene after the credits which, of course, takes forever) isn’t worth the wait.

The late November cold blast arrived when Azle Christian School was playing for the state six-man championship in Springtown. These fans showed their support for the Crusaders and toughed out some mighty chilly conditions. Ice is expected by week’s end and throughout the weekend. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

Get ready to hunker down from another Arctic blast barrelling straight toward us BY MARK K. CAMPBELL After surviving one of the coldest Novembers on record, December is about to try to one up it. Following several remarkably mild days as the month started, December is about to get cold – and maybe icy. Of course, that’s what weather forecasters said Nov. 22-23 when a cold rain arrived and was expected to turn to ice – as much as two inches. Some trees were adorned with a glaze then, but the fro-

zen precipitation did not coat the roadways as feared. It remains to be seen if this week will be any different. Forecasters are guessing that things will begin to turn by Thursday. Perhaps still stung by misprognosticating in November, weathermen/women are being more cautious this time. Still, “bitterly cold” temperatures are expected to arrive by Thursday night. And Friday and Saturday are projected to be icy and miser-

able. Such poor weather affects plenty of scheduled activities. The late stages of high school football playoffs are ongoing and many teams are trying to get games in on Thursday. The UIL said playing Monday is OK, too.

The already weakened holiday shopping season could take another hit if people can’t get out. Even Azle’s annual Christmas Parade might be affected. If the weather ends up being horrid, the parade might be cancelled – which will make those hoping to ride one of the

14 floats unhappy – but indoor holiday activities at 404 West Main Street will go on. Here’s the official look at the mighty Arctic front heading our way: Thurs. – day rain, followed by 90 percent chance of rain, changing to freezing rain

Fri. – Rain, freezing rain, sleet. High: 33. Wind: N-15-20. Sat. – more rain, freezing rain. High: 34. Wind: N-10-20. Sun. – High 40, more rain, winds let up. On Monday, the high shoots up to 45 with rain out of the forecast.
