Hitting the road for Jesus Each Monday local folks walk and pray for Springtown BY MARK K. CAMPBELL The Tabernacle is an appropriate meeting place. Every Monday, without fail, Christians of all ages settle into pews downtown and prepare to fan out over Springtown, seeking blessings for the area. It’s called the Move, Pray, Obey prayer walking ministry and Mary Orms is a believer. Most of those that gather at the Tabernacle each Monday at 6 p.m. are from First Baptist Church of Springtown. But all are welcome to become part of “Team MPO,” Orms said. Beginnings Orms is a runner, and she said she became convicted when out for a jog in 2011. “The Lord just put it on my heart. I was asking: ‘How do I love people that I don’t know?’ “He said, ‘You pray for them.’”

Orms prayed as she ran and she said she soon was shown that positive things were happening in those peoples’ lives because of the prayers. She then took what she believed was the next step. “When you take one step of obedience, you can then take the next step.” That sent her to Pastor Hal Kinkeade at First Baptist Church of Springtown. Orms attends there. “He told me to bring it as a ministry. He was very much in agreement with it, because the Lord had been putting similar things on his heart.”

BY NATALIE GENTRY When it was all said and done, Heather Williams couldn’t believe she had sat still and allowed someone to shave her head. “I’m bald,” Williams said with a laugh. “I sat there looking at my daughter while they did it and just kept saying ‘I love you.’” For Williams, love is what the One Mission Kid’s Cancer Buzz-Off was all about.

“There were so many people there giving their hair and their time to raise money for such a wonderful cause.” Williams and the other “buzzees” – as those who have their heads shaved are called – have until October to continue raising money to help pediatric cancer patients and their families. “So far, I’ve raised $690,” she said. “But I’ve heard that now that it’s done a lot of people receive most of their donations. “Other people can see that it really did happen and that this is a legitimate event and they are inspired to give,” Williams continued.

PLEASE SEE EACH, PAGE 3A.

All in all, a total of $130,000 was raised and 211 heads were shaved on May 4 at AT&T Stadium in Arlington. The event was slated to raise awareness and money for patients and their families at the Pauline Allen Gill Center for Cancer and Blood Disorders at Children’s Medical Center in Dallas. When asked if she will do it again Williams said, “I’ll either do it again next year or help others raise money.” She said she’d like to wait until her hair is long enough to give as well. “I want to help in some capacity,” she continued. “My youngest daughter is determined to do it next year so maybe I’ll be helping her raise money.” To help Williams continue to raise funds, visit her personal Buzz-Off webpage at: http:// m y. e 2 r m . c o m / P e r s o n a l P a g e . aspx?registrationID=2198037.

Local man charged felony injury to child by NATALIE GENTRy Randall Jamal Sloan, 25, was arrested on May 2 and charged with first-degree felony injury to a child with intent to cause serious bodily injury or mental anguish after he allegedly broke the leg of a 4-year-old girl while she was in his care. According to investigator Josh Pitman with the Parker County Sheriff’s Office, Sloan was watching his girlfriend’s 4-year-old daughter and the couple’s younger children at their home in the 100 block of Every Monday at 6 p.m., members of Team MPO – Move, Pray, Obey, adorned in neon Jody Lane when the incident yellow t-shirts – fan out from the Tabernacle to cover Springtown in prayer. occurred.

that Friday, though.” She added, “Every single week, we have covered Springtown in prayer.” This isn’t just a Baptist thing, Orms said. “We’re all about the unity of the body of Christ and how much power there is in bringing the whole body together,” she said. Before the team splits up from the Tabernacle, a short devotional is conducted. Then, the group – includ-

said he had spanked the child and now her leg was swelling and she was having trouble walking. According to the report, the mother called a family member to take the girl to the hospital while she drove from her work in Irving to meet them there. Sloan reportedly told investigators that he had pulled the girl off the couch by her leg while attempting to discipline her and about 20 minutes later noticed her leg was swollen. Dr. Jayme Coffman, a doctor with Cook Children’s Hospital Child Advocacy Resources and Evaluation (CARE) Team reported that the girl had a fractured left femur and bruising on her abdomen, lower back, and buttocks. According to Coffman the broken bone was consistent with a non-accident injury. The doctor also noted that the injury would require a great

We’ve walked in the snow when it was 27 degrees. “There has not been a Monday when we did not cover this city in prayer.”

Building a Springtown-based board game no trivial pursuit by Natalie GeNtry Game on. The Springtown Elementary School (SES) third and fourth grade Gifted and Talented (GT) class is creating a game titled “Go Round Springtown” that will feature business cards from local business. The project combines two standards from the Texas Performance Standards Project (TPSP) including building busibrian Hulett, new head football coach/athletic director, ness and city planning. “The students took their interests in both spoke to the Springtown Optimist club about his sportelements and decided to make a game ing philosophy. Photo by Mark K. Campbell about businesses in Springtown, including the concept of City Planning and the very special landmark of our hometown and school, Walnut Creek,” said SES GT coordinator, Mary Vallari. “They also incorporated the animals that live in the creek into the game based on information that was shared with them from

New coach: Kids 1st, wins 2nd by mark k. campbell Since taking the reins as Springtown’s latest head football coach/athletic director, Brian Hulett has been making the rounds in town. He has spoken to several gatherings and stopped by the Optimist Club May 6. Hulett lauded his predecessor, Brad Turner, and added that he is installing his own fitness mindset that includes improved strength and conditioning. The new coach/AD said he is bothered by the “myth of the old coach,” that it’s all about “just winning games. I’m on a mission to get rid of that stigma.” Hulett watched his father coach for 39 years – 31 as an athletic director. “I learned a lot of things from him, good and bad.” An only child, Hulett said his small town upbringing – he graduated from SpringlakeEarth High School in far West Texas – meant he participated in almost everything that came along. He played all sports, showed animals, competed in UIL contests, and even was a groundbreaker by signing up for what was then known as Home Ec., he said. “I think I’ve done everything you can do,” he chuckled. Hulett began his coaching career in Cisco – “a great place” – then headed to Pampa for 18 months. From there, he ventured to Eastland for six and a half years. “I came back right down the road from my main rival,” he said of the Eastland-Cisco duel. Now that he’s in Springtown, Hulett said his family is in the process of buying a home here. And he’s a fan of Springtown’s youth. “I like our kids,” he said. But an athletic culture change is coming. “I talked to our seniors,” he said. “I told them the change would be hardest on them, that I’m asking them to change.” Hulett noted that “our physical fitness is not where it needs to be” and “we’ve got a ways to go.” He has implemented a “new age meets Olympics” attitude. The new fitness concept ap-

plies to more than football players. The AD said he invited basketball players to join the workouts, too. He said about 130 youths are currently working out. Hulett said he also impressed on the Porcupines that they represent Springtown “where you are, all the time. We’re trying to ‘train the brain.’ “I take a hardline on discipline – and making kids act right – over wins. I think in the long run, the community will buy into that. “I was clear with Mr. [Mike] Kelley [SISD superintendent] when we went through the hiring process that if you wanted a win-first person, don’t call on me. I can’t be who I’m not.” What kind of football team will Hulett lead on the newly refurbished Porcupine Stadium field Aug. 29 against Decatur? It will depend on the kids, he said. “I don’t think set offenses win – kids win,” he said. Those kids will undergo a summertime fitness routine called POJO Maker and some will play 7-on-7 football as well. By Aug. 29, Hulett’s new staff will be in place, months of strength and conditioning will be completed, and a new mindset installed for Porcupine athletics. The Hulett era will begin.

the first and second grade GT class through their projects on the water and animals in Walnut Creek, she said.” The game itself has characters which are either evil or good. These characters have the ability to morph in and out of animal or supernatural form on their quest to get to Walnut Creek first by drawing student-created playing cards. The outcome of Walnut Creek depends on whether a good guy or bad guy pulls the succession of cards needed to win the game. A good guy saves Walnut Creek for the community to continue to enjoy, but a bad guy wins, has the right to privately develop the creek for his personal use. “These kids have been very creative and have come up with all of these very innovative and original ideas,” Vallari said. “I

have merely facilitated when necessary. It is their game.” In addition the students created a company to market their game. They had to select positions and create a logo or slogan – “Cuz Run is Our Game” – as well as a jingle and an advertisement. The students also had to decide who to market their game to, develop a budget, and create the prototype of their game. This prototype had to include setup, rules, playing pieces or cards, and the game board itself. The SES GT third and fourth grade class includes: Marleigh Applebee, Lillian Beck, Kasie Burk, Zoe Eudey, Kaidence Jones, Jasmine Roach, Kenzie Rowell, Logan Shaw, and Todd Smith. “Go Round Springtown” will be on display May 20 during the SISD GT Showcase at Springtown High School.

Johnnie Conway, Pastor of Hilltop Family Church and emcee for the prayer breakfast, kicked things off with welcoming remarks. The invocation was delivered by Danny Morrow, Pastor of Fundamental Baptist Church. Door prizes were plentiful and Conway enlisted help from his wife and granddaughter to hand them all out. The Springtown Elementary School Children’s Choir, led by Sallie McPhetridge, sang “God Bless America” prior to the Pledge to the American Flag, led by Kallie Conway. the springtown Elementary school children’s choir performed “God bless america” and the national anthem at the national Day of Prayer breakfast. The choir then sang The National Anthem which was followed by the Pledge to the Christian Flag. John Forrest, Parker County Attorney, delivered the keynote remarks. Forrest spoke about the importance of strong Christian leadership. A video message from the National Day of Prayer prefaced prayers delivered by spiritual leaders in the community, including: • Hal Kinkeade, Pastor of First Baptist Church, who prayed for the President and leaders of our nation, state, county, and local cities. • Conway, Senior Pastor of Hilltop, prayed for churches, Neighbor to Neighbors, and Cares and Shares. • Ken Roe, Elder at Springtown Church of Christ, prayed for the U.S. Military. • Josh Richards, representing Cornerstone Community Church, prayed for families. • Mike Kelley, SISD Superintendent, prayed for students, teachers, faculty, staff, and parents in the educational system. • Mark Campbell, editor of the Springtown Epigraph and The Azle News, prayed for the media. • Gary Veazey, Pastor of Outreach of Love Church, prayed for local businesses and the Springtown Area Chamber of Commerce. • Mark Krey, Springtown City Administrator, prayed for police officers, firefighters, and emergency medical technicians.

The benediction was delivered by Vaughn Baker, Pastor of Silpray at springtown’s prayer breakfast. Photos by Carla Noah Stutsman ver Creek Methodist Church.

“Serving Springtown Since 1977”

Liver Infection: Management Options Hepatitis C is an infection of the liver caused by a virus. This type of infection can go undetected in the human body for years before there is any sign of liver damage. Signs and symptoms of the infection may include feelings of tiredness, fever, loss of appetite and yellowing of the skin and eyes. Hepatitis C can be transmitted when an infected person’s blood gets contaminated with a healthy person’s blood. This may occur as the result of an accident in a healthcare facility among health care workers themselves, sharing dirty needles from illicit drug use, or a blood transfusion. Transmission via transfusions occurs less now with new standards of care in place. Complications of hepatitis C may include scarring of the liver and liver failure. Many people who are infected with hepatitis C may not require treatment as long as the liver is not impaired. Blood tests are used to monitor the status of the virus. Treatment for hepatitis C typically requires a combination of drugs. Ribavirin (Rebetol, Virazole) is usually used in combination with Peginterferon Alfa-2a (Pegasys). Ribavirin helps kill the virus by causing mutations in the viral DNA. Peginterferon helps boost the immune system to fight the virus. The FDA recently approved two new treatments for hepatitis C. They are sofosbuvir and simeprivir.

C andidate Q uestionnaire 2014 G.G. “Randy” Martin, III’s response was not published in last week’s Azle News. Here it is, along with the reprinting of the Place 3 candidate’s responses.

Reno City Council Place 3 Bonnie Black 1. I have served as a council member in Reno for several terms, and this is the FIRST time I have seen the peace and cooperation that we enjoy with this council team. It is actually a pleasure to serve, and I look forward to the meetings. In the past, there was so much strife and fighting within the council that we could hardly accomplish anything. My motto: “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” 2. We need to keep the current team on the council, so that we can continue to grow and prosper. Bonnie Black 3. I was a Flight Attendant for American Airlines for almost 19 years; I retired in 2003 when we moved to Reno. When I saw the problems facing the city of Reno, I decided to run for a seat on the city council. I didn’t want to enter this arena in ignorance, so I enrolled at Tarrant County Junior College in a Texas State and Local Government class. I have been an avid defender of the U. S. Constitution and personal liberty of all citizens. I believe in small government, low taxes and personal freedom, and will do whatever I can to accomplish these things. 4. Reno has such a rich history. I like the fact that we are rural, but still a close community. The citizens care about each other, and are willing to help their neighbors. We now have a great Police Department, Volunteer Fire Department, Municipal Court, Water and Street Department; and we are blessed with exceptional workers such as Joe Polino, the mayor’s “right hand man,” Walt Leonard, our City Attorney, and all our city staff. Our Mayor, Lynda Stokes, is doing an excellent job to keep the city moving forward. 5. We still have much work to do with our streets and roads. We have ongoing “conversations” with drilling companies over the damage to our roads, but I feel there will be a compromise reached soon.

1. Why are you running for office? 2. What can the council do to make Pelican Bay better? 3. Please provide your work and personal background, including skills and knowledge that will make you the right person for the position. 4. What’s good about Pelican Bay? 5. What’s the biggest issue facing Pelican Bay? There was no “Child Endangerment” – there was “Leaving a child in a vehicle” which is a Class C misdemeanor, ticketable with up to $500 fine, not arrestable. And public intoxication, which is also a misdemeanor Class C, ticketable, and jailed until sober. I want protection but, I want more professional protection – something that Reno Police can’t provide. I fear the police more than the criminals; I want a well-staffed and knowledgeable department watching over me and the rest of Reno. Of course you know what I mean – Parker County. When the police that serve the citizens are more dangerous than the criminals it is time to rethink the circumstances. Oh, and the Mayor and council that voted to allow gas wells, and once the earthquakes start, then want to rescue the citizens from something they themselves wanted.

Gilbert Morrow 1. I want to help promote a better way of life for all in Reno, and to hopefully reduce spending and cut taxes; a welcome thing to all citizens I believe. Let it be said I think the current council is doing a lousy 3. I have 25 years in a successful small handyman business, job, and, yes, I think I can do and before that commercial and residential maintenance for 15 better. years. I have some college (TCJC), computer programming basics (Linux mainly, some Windows), dabbled in web design 2. Reno needs better thinkfor myself. ers. The current council has gotten the horse before the 4. Well, the people are great people. Parts of the City – not cart by spending a lot on the so much. We have a great volunteer fire department. All the cart, only to realize that somecitizens of Reno seem to be law abiding and not lawless seedy one forgot to buy the horse characters, as once described. first. Meaning there are citizens needs and concerns such 5. High taxes and angry citizens wanting less of a tax buras the 65 year or older tax den. Money left in the citizens’ pockets helps the citizens more freeze that should have been Gilbert Morrow than taking more and more from them. Reno has very little in the tax code from the very growth except where taxes are concerned and that seems to beginning and providing services for the $1.1 million budget grow every year, regardless of slow population expansion. the current council wants. I agree with Art Johnson and Condie Prioleau about the tax money going in but not the right things G.G. “Randy” Martin, III being done for the citizens. 1. I want to bring a level playing field for all citizens and Not to mention the reining in of the police.

2. They could find out what the pulse of the citizens is: to make sure they know what the citizens want and share this info to all recipients. 3. My background experience starts when I first went to work for my Dad in the structural moving business as early as 7 years of age. I then worked at Hugh Moore’s gas station for two summers and weekends to buy my first car; a 1960 Volkswagen Beetle. Boy, was I proud of that. At the age of 15, I worked at Buddies #3 grocery store in Ft. Worth, stocking and sacking groceries. I got married at the age of 16 and went to work in the oilfield profession from 16 to the age of 27. During that time I was trained in oil-field related skills such as H2s gas training, Key Man Drillers Course, Red Cross First Aid and Instructor, Dale Carriage’s Effective Speaking Course, and Hartford Loss Control Time Management Training Course. I worked as a floor hand, a derrick hand, a driller, a safety engineer, a rig manager, and a superintendent. During the course of my oil-field experience I entered in a family oil-field rental business, a roustabout business, and a welding service business. The success of these was achieved because of the work schedule; which was a 7 day on and 7 day off routine. Later, when the schedule became a 30 days overseas on and 30 days off routine, I used the time off to expand my personal success in business. When the oil-field came to a stop in the 1980’s I continued on in the oil-field welding business until I got hurt from a tank blast and was off for a short time. I then re-entered the structural moving service, moving mobile homes, houses, buildings, etc. to support my family and myself. I have always been a business man engaged in working for the public and serving the public in one way or the other since I was a kid. I have never filed bankruptcy even through the toughest years of business. I always paid my bills. I have since gone back and gotten my G.E.D. and graduated from Weatherford College. I attended Mike Jones Auctioneer School and passed. I joined the Texas Association of Structural Moving (TASM) in the early 90’s, became a member, served as director on the board, and later as the vice-president of the board. I have also served as a member on the House Movers Museum Board. I served a term in office as the Mayor of the City of Reno, Parker County in 2007, and I know I can be a positive influence on our city council. I have lived in Reno since 1998 and I am currently the president of Just Right Transportation Service Inc. located in Azle. My wife, Judy, and I have seven kids and 39 grandchildren. I’m pro-life, a proud member of the NRA , and a life member of the Texas State Rifle Association. The experience I have as a businessman and in serving the public will be a positive influence to the City of Reno and the council. I always look for solutions to issues. I believe if you find a problem, you have to seek a solution; don’t be a finger pointer, be a problem solver! Think positive! 4. The people are what’s good about Reno. They’re just down to earth people with real values. 5. I want to get the Parker County Sheriff’s Department to be more pro-active with the City of Reno and making crime control a real priority for everyone. We need a team that shares info between the city and county as a whole. I will get the political agendas out of the way and start serving the people and start fighting crime in the county as a whole for everyone. We all want a safe place to live. I will get communications to the people by informing the citizens of where they’re at on everything from taxes and budgets to roads and water. They really need to have a newsletter that goes out and more public forum to get people involved and working on the real problems and coming up with solutions that are positive for the citizens of Reno.

Turning down for what by starting from the bottom

nce again, we are delving into today’s youth as – like generations of old people (over 30) before us – we can claim with absolutely certainty that this group of young ‘uns is the worst ever. Especially when it comes to music. If you Bible Decode the Revelation, you will likely find words like “Miley Cyrus” and “Gaga.” Yes, decoders from prior generations uncovered “MTV” and before that “Beatles” and the one before that “Frankie” (Sinatra), but we’re right this time! That brings us to “Turn Down for What.” It was only by a freak of nature that I stumbled upon this song by DJ Snake and Lil’ Jon. Somehow I passed

by a modern music station and there was “Turn Down for What” in all its catchiness. And I mean catchy. Even though I’m from a generation that reveled in such dense lyrics as “They’re coming to take me away! Ha! Ha! Hee! Hee!” and “One- eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater” – everything wasn’t Dylan – I was clueless when it came to what “turn down for what” could mean. So, I consulted that beacon of interpreting what kids are saying today, the online Urban Dictionary. True, it’s about as reliable as Wikipedia only with a lot more cuss words, but the phrase was there. Here’s what the site said “turn down for what” means: “a rhetorical question used by teenagers. ‘Turn up’ is the act of getting drunk or high and

being reckless. So ‘turn down’ would mean sobering up.” And what invincible 19 year old wants to stop having fun – turn down for what, indeed. Each genON YOUR eration has a song like this. MARK Remember Mark K. Campbell “Rock and Roll All Nite” (where you were encouraged to “party every day.”) What about “Fight for Your Right” (to party!)? How many parents tripped over their kids listen-

ing to KISS and the Beastie Boys? Here is the entirety of the lyrics to “Turn Down for What”: Fire up your loud. Another round of shots. Fire you up. Turn down for what. That’s it. There’s another aspect to the popular dance tune: the video. Any adult with kids over 10 will be mortified to see the video. It’s a comedic grind-athon with wild youngs ‘uns (and eventually adults) gyrating non-stop. You might want to keep a closer eye on your six-year-old angel if he/she’s going around belting out “turn down for what!” Anyway, this is another chance to mess with your kids. This summer, maybe change the oil

or dust the cupboard while lying in wait, and when the teens pass, whip around and shout “Turn down for what!” They’ll love it. Even better…make it your ringtone. Kids enjoy nothing more than their parents/grandparents trying to be hip. And, when they get tired of you bellowing “Turn down for what!” in front of their friends or when ya’ll are at Starbucks, you can always switch to the other groovy song out right now, “Started from the Bottom” which contains the line “started from the bottom now we’re here!” You might want to avoid the explicit version, though. After all, you are the adult. In theory. Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and that might be the most confusing headline ever.

Did Annie Oakley offer to lead women into war?

omeone told me that Annie Oakley tried to volunteer for the Spanish-American War and intended to bring other women with her whom she had trained to shoot. I decided to check it out. Remember, she was the young sharpshooter who traveled with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Born August 13, 1860 in a rural log cabin in western Ohio, she was named Phoebe Ann Moses and called “Annie” by family. Her parents had been Quakers in Pennsylvania, and Annie was the sixth of seven children. Her father died when she was only six. Her mother married again, but she was widowed again. When Annie was nine, she and a sister were put in a “poor farm.” Soon those in charge “bound her out” to a family who only wanted her for the work she could do. Once, the wife put her outdoors in freezing weather with no shoes because she fell asleep while doing the darning.

When later reunited with her family at age eleven, she began hunting to help support the family. She sold the game to restaurants in the town of Greenville, Ohio. By the time she was fifteen, she had helped pay off the mortgage to her mother's farm. People all around knew of her shooting skills. On Thanksgiving Day, 1875, Francis (Frank) E. Butler, age 25, was in Cincinnati to perform his marksmanship traveling act. He told a hotel owner that he would bet $100 that he could outshoot any local the hotel owner could find to put up against him. The man knew about Annie. Out of 25 shots each, Annie hit all 25, but Butler missed his last shot. (The thought just occurred to me that he could have missed that last shot on purpose!) Although he was ten years older than the 15-year-old Annie, he began courting her. They married August 23, 1876, and lived in Cincinnati for a while. When they later began performing together, she took the name Oakley; some believe it came from the neigh-

borhood in Cincinnati where they lived. In 1885 they joined Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show. Once when Sitting Bull, the Sioux Chief, saw her shoot, he called her “Little Sure She PAGES FROM Shot.” was only five WESTERN feet tall. The HISTORY show toured and J’Nell L. Pate Europe, she and Frank performed before Queen Victoria in England, and the heads of state of Italy and France, among others. The German Kaiser Willhelm II, at his request, held a cigarette for her as she shot off its ashes. (Years later the statement surfaced and was widely circulated that if she had

shot the Kaiser and not his cigarette, she might have prevented World War I.) Annie was so proficient with her gun she could snuff out a candle, hit dimes tossed in the air, shoot corks off bottles, and split a playing card held edge-out. In the show she shot a cigar that Frank held in his teeth. Annie earned more money than any performer in the show other than Cody himself. She was the first real superstar in the U.S. Annie and Frank performed with the Buffalo Bill Show for nearly 17 years. In 1901 they were in a train accident, and she had five spinal operations. When she recovered, she was offered a stage play written for her called The Western Girl in which she used her guns to catch outlaws. In 1904 a burlesque performer was arrested for cocaine use, and she falsely gave her name as “Annie Oakley.” News stories thus libeled the real Annie, and she spent six years and won 54 out of 55 lawsuits to clear her name.

Annie and Frank retired and enjoyed hunting, giving shooting lessons to women and performing for charity events. She died November 3, 1926 of pernicious anemia at the age of 66. Frank, her husband of 50 years, died 18 days later. Some say he was so distraught that he quit eating. All their fortune had been spent on family and charities. She has been inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Fort Worth. Of the sources I checked about her offer to train women for war, three said it was for World War I. One of them cited both the Spanish-American War and World War I. When the U.S. government ignored her offer for the latter, she instead gave shooting demonstrations at army camps to raise money for the Red Cross. I wonder if she came to Camp Bowie, located on the west side of Fort Worth?

Please: Take time to look twice for motorcycles

riday, July 19, 2013 had been ordinary in every way. A Lakeside woman continued her campaign against “bandit signs.” A “ghost” Buzzy was being installed in the new turf at Hornet Field. Vinny and the Jets were set to play in the Music in the Park Summer Concert Series. And Texas Health Azle won an award. I was also working on the story about Shorty Robinson’s remains being found in his front yard in Pelican Bay, where his wife had buried him after cutting his throat. Okay, that one was a bit unusual. I was looking forward to the weekend. About 10:30 that night, I went onto my back porch to smoke a cigarette before bed. Little did I know that less than a month later I would smoke my last one after 38 years of steady puffing. I took the equipment I carry with me at all times: iPhone,

iPad, police scanner. Call me a techno-junkie, but I like to be informed at all times. With Dad in the nursing home, the phone is always on and usually hooked to my belt loop with the ever-handy Cliphanger (contact me for a 5-star review of this handy gadget). Even when I sleep, those tools are on – volume set on high – within reach on my nightstand. Anyway, I smoked, scrolled through Facebook on the iPad, and enjoyed a steamy July evening. About 11 p.m., as I was thinking of packing it all up to head to bed, the scanner began emitting its all-too-familiar tones. A recent switch from local police dispatch to Tarrant County Fire Alarm dispatch on the part of the Azle Fire Department had brought about some differences in the tones, and I still had to listen carefully to figure out which department was being called out. That night, it was the Eagle Mountain Fire Department. EMFD works a lot in the Azle

sister, Darla. Oh, no. Something is wrong with Dad. “Darla? What’s wrong?” I heard her draw a deep, ragged breath before she spoke. “Marc was in a motorcycle accident last night on Boat Club Road. He didn’t make it.” Marc is the youngest of my sister’s three sons, but only by ten minutes. He’s an identical twin. He and his twin brother, Mike, had turned 29 that March. Marc had left his wife, Kortney, and 5-year-old daughter, Saydee, at home that night when he headed to the store – literally for a pack of cigarettes. That fact stuck with me, and I quit smoking a few weeks later. Our family’s grief has been unspeakable, but we’re hanging in there. It’s important for me to say that I don’t hate motorcycles – even now. I grew up with a father who loves anything with wheels or wings and an engine. Fast cars, motorcycles, airplanes, gokarts – you name it and we rode

it. They’re fun, when they’re operated properly and safely. But motorcycles are hard to see on the road. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been surprised – or had the stuffing scared out of me – by a motorcycle while driving. Responsible motorcyclists are everywhere, and God bless them. In my mind, they have every right to enjoy the road. But irresponsible motorcyclists are out there, too, and it’s every other motorist’s job to be on the lookout for both types. Not because it’s a law, but because every motorcyclist is someone’s son, nephew, husband...Daddy. Maybe even Mommy. May is National Motorcycle Awareness Month. I have two requests. 1. Look twice for motorcycles. 2. Live every day like there is no tomorrow. There may not be. Carla Noah Stutsman is an Azle News reporter and would give anything for just one more hug from Marc Stepich.

Toyota picks Plano for North America headquarters

oyota Motor Corporation on April 28 announced its decision to locate the headquarters of Toyota Motor North America headquarters to Plano. Toyota said the move is “designed to better serve customers and position Toyota for sustainable, long-term growth.” Within the next three years, Toyota’s three separate North American headquarters for manufacturing, sales and marketing and corporate operations will relocate to a single, stateof-the-art campus in Plano, just north of Dallas. Toyota’s North American finance arm also plans to move its headquarters to this new, shared campus. Altogether, these moves will affect about 4,000 employees, Toyota said. Gov. Rick Perry said Toyota is making a $300 million capital investment in the move and the state has offered Toyota an incentive of $40 million through the Texas Enterprise Fund. “We’re proud that both the

Tundra and Tacoma bear the words ‘Made in Texas’ and we’re excited our state will be the nexus for Toyota’s North American operations moving forward,” Perry said, adding that Toyota's Texas operations presently include its $2.3 billion manufacturing facility in San Antonio that supports 2,900 jobs, and combined with its 21 on-site suppliers, Toyota supports 6,000 jobs in San Antonio. Grand jury probe begins A Travis County grand jury assigned with a special prosecutor convened in mid-April to examine Gov. Rick Perry’s veto last year of legislation to fund the state’s Public Integrity Unit, a division of the Travis County district attorney’s office tasked with investigating public corruption. Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, who heads the Public Integrity Unit, was arrested for drunken driving in April 2013, pleaded guilty, served half of a 45-day jail sentence and was released.

Travis County, however, came up with money from its own budget to maintain the entity’s functions. Decision sets coal back Texas Railroad Commission, the state agency that regulates energy-producing industries, lamented the U.S. Supreme Court’s 6-2 decision on April 29 to uphold the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency’s Cross-State Air Pollution Rule.

“By upholding the EPA-written Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and overturning a lower court decision, the Supreme Court has made it increasingly difficult to burn coal to produce electricity,” according to a Railroad Commission statement published the day the court rendered its decision. “Going forward, natural gas, renewables and nuclear energy must shoulder an even bigger load in order to ‘keep the lights on’ cheaply and reliably in Texas, and throughout America,” the agency further stated, adding, “As a result of today’s holding, some coal-fired power plants may be forced to limit or shut down operations.” Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas cast the dissenting votes in the 6-2 decision. The U.S. Clean Air Act requires the EPA to write rules to enforce laws passed by Congress. The Cross-State Air Pollution Rule requires Texas, as an “upwind” state, to reduce sulfur dioxide and nitrogen oxide emissions that cross

state lines. Such pollutants react in the atmosphere to form fine particles and ground-level ozone and are transported long distances, making it difficult for other states to achieve air quality standards, according to the EPA. Graduation rate is near best According to the National Center for Education Statistics’ “First Look” report released in late April, for the class of 2012, Texas posted a graduation rate of 88 percent, tying with three other states for second highest. Iowa posted a graduation rate of 89 percent while the national average was 80 percent. Texas Education Commissioner Michael Williams lauded the report and noted that Texas’ overall graduation rate exceeded the national averages release in both 2011 and 2012. Williams also pointed out the Texas class of 2012 had the highest graduation rate in the country among AfricanAmerican students and tied for the highest graduation rates for

white and economically disadvantaged students. Enforcement result comes in Texas Department of Public Safety on April 28 announced state troopers arrested some 1,374 motorists for driving while intoxicated during the agency’s March 7 to March 23 spring break enforcement period. A Texas Department of Transportation grant allowed increased patrols in high-risk locations during the times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent. Furthermore, the DPS reported, stops made during the enforcement period resulted in 18,826 speeding citations, 3,266 seat belt/child safety seat tickets and more than 23,400 other citations, plus 848 fugitive arrests and 713 felony arrests.

SHS duo off to Austin

Springfield, Sutton to vie at state track meet by mark k. campbell Springtown will be represented at the state track meet by a pair of talented athletes. Dillon Springfield will race in the 110-meter hurdles in Austin May 10. The day before, Savannah Sutton will venture to the triple jump pits on the University of Texas campus. Springfield has a solid opportunity to medal, coach Brad Legan said, noting that the Porcupine’s regional time among the top qualifiers. The junior is nursing a leg injury, but Legan did not think that would deter Springfield from going all out in Austin. The best regional time to reach the state meet is 14.33 seconds by Trevor Greenfield of Seminole. However, Springfield has run the high hurdlers under 14 seconds this year. In 2013, the 110 hurdles was won by a Houston Washington athlete with a time of 14.17. This Saturday, May 10, rain porcupine Dillon Springfield will race in the 110-meter hurdles in austin at state track. Photo by Mark K. Campbell is forecast for Mike A. Myers

Savannah Sutton is one of the nine top triple jumpers in 3a in Texas. She competes at the UT-austin campus Friday, may 9. Photo by Mark K. Campbell Stadium in Austin. None of the nine competitors competed in the 2013 race. In the triple jump, Tonye’cia Burks’ 39 feet, 5 inches leads all incoming qualifiers. Last year at state, she finished with the bronze. Lady Porcupine Savannah Sutton leapt 35-9 at the Texas Tech University track to finish as the Region I-3A runner-up and punch her state ticket. Last year’s winning leap was a whopping 40-1.5 by Feleicenne Axel from Columbus will also compete May 9 at UT. One other leaper, Tristyn Allen, returns from vying at the state meet last season. Sutton will hit the pits beginning at 4:30 Friday. Springfield competes at 12:45 Saturday, weather permitting.

Postseason appearance ends in bi-district for SHS Game one is a 2-1 thriller on the road by mark k. campbell In his first season as the Porcupines’ head baseball coach, Stan Gideon led Springtown to the playoffs. SHS faced off against Graham in a three-game series. The Steers won the first two games. In the first bi-district clash, Graham edged Springtown 2-1. Gideon said Porcupine Ryan Hester pitched “amazing.” He also doubled. In the defensive game, hits were few. Collin Rector, Zach Lund, and Russell Gideon accounted for SHS’ other safeties. “We played real well,” the coach recalled. Game two moved to the Porcupine diamond on a lovely May 2 evening. This time, Graham got three runs early and did not trail en route to a 13-3 win. Gideon said the game “was no indication of the success nor the level of play that this team achieved this season.” Springtown used a 4-0 finish to 6-3A play to reach the postseason third out of the district. “It was a great season,” Gideon said. “Our guys stepped up and played well when it mattered the most. “Our seniors were the catalyst and the leaders to help put the team on the right path to the playoffs.” He singled out Jake Jordan, who went 4-0 in 6-3A, as a Graham baserunner heads for second, but porcupine third baseman Garrett well as Rector, Hester, Garrett Josh White runs down a long Steer fly ball at the Springmauldin makes the play to end the inning. town diamond.

ESD1 honors its B.E.S.T. Wander award created, bestowed by carla noah stutsman A new format and a newly created award shook things up a bit during the annual Parker County Emergency Services District 1 awards banquet, held at Springtown High School Saturday evening, May 3. The event has followed tradition in the past, with a few remarks followed by a sit-down, catered meal, a keynote speaker and finally, the presentation of awards. This year, the event started earlier and led off with a meetand-greet hour featuring heavy hors oeuvres – enough for a

meal for most people – in the school’s cafeteria. Then everyone moved into the auditorium where a video presentation depicting the activities of firefighters from all five stations within the district during 2013. The “house” awards were presented next. Those receiving top honors from each station included:

Sheriff warns of ID fraud scam Parker County Criminal Investigation Division is investigating a case of identification theft and fraud in which merchandise was recovered. Sheriff’s investigators believe the items were purchased with a stolen credit card. Sheriff Larry Fowler said a local woman contacted his department after she grew suspicious of activity an acquaintance requested of her. On April 16, the woman reported she met a man on a website who began sending her gifts. As an online relationship progressed, the man began sending her additional expensive gifts for men, women and children, requesting her to send them to an address located out of the country. The woman voluntarily turned the items over to the Sheriff’s Office. The items include a 55” TV, two gold and diamond rings, three gold necklaces with jewels, about one dozen items of women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, three pairs of shoes, and two smart phones. Sheriff’s investigators said the case is typical of those associated with identity theft by

stealing someone’s credit card and purchasing items over the Internet. Once the suspect gains the trust of a victim, they have the items shipped to the victim’s address. The suspect(s) ask the victim to send the items to another address outside of the United States, leaving all traces of the merchandise leading back to the victim. Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said the incident is a typical scam case, where victims may feel flattered or special, placing their trust with the suspect. Fowler said most often, the suspects sell the items for profit overseas. “It’s a cycle which takes advantage of people, using them as their ‘go-to person’ in the scam,” Fowler said. “We want to make the public aware of these scams and caution them against associating with persons they are not commonly familiar with. “These sorts of actions should be a red flag to individuals who conduct business over the Internet or anyone who meets people through Internet sites, especially if you are not the one making initial contact.”

a half later. Randall Sloan, 25, of Azle was arrested May 2 by Parker County Sheriff’s deputies for a warrant for injury to a child, the elderly, or disabled with intended serious bodily injury or mental anguish. As of May 5 he was held in the Parker County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bond. Officers from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department arrested a 37-year-old Springtown man for a Johnson County warrant for failure to appear in court. He was released to Johnson County authorities May 6. A 19-year-old Azle man was

arrested May 3 by Reno police and charged with possession of a controlled substance – penalty group 1, less than one gram. He also had active Reno warrants for failure to appear in court, expired inspection sticker, and speeding. As of May 5 he was held in the Parker County Jail in lieu of $8,295 bond. John Anthony Reason, 44, of Springtown was arrested May 3 by Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers and charged with DWI, second offense. He posted $2,500 bond and was released from the Parker County Jail on May 4.
