SISD board approves budget, tax rate2014-15 taxes drop 3 cents per $100 in property value

by Natalie GeNtryFollowing the first day of school

for students, the Springtown Indepen-dent School District (SISD) Board of Trustees met to discuss the new school-year’s budget.

District Chief Financial Officer, Gary Shaw led a public hearing during which he explained the process of establishing a tax rate sufficient to fund an assort-ment of education-related expenses.

The budgetThe bulk of expenditures in the

General Fund – and the budget overall – goes toward instruction, Shaw said.

Approximately $15 million is bud-geted for teacher pay and instructional materials. That number represents

more than half of the general fund’s $26 million budget.

Shaw explained the manner in which the General Fund balance will be appropriated, indicating 78 percent of the balance will go toward payroll.

Nearly half of budgeted salary ex-penses are earmarked for teachers and librarians, he said.

“They are the ones who have the knowledge to pass on to our kids,” he stated.

Every teacher received a raise, he noted, stating the payroll budget is about $888,000 higher than last year.

Shaw noted that the copier lease costs are declining because many em-ployees are using the scan feature to reduce the need for paper copies.

Shaw was also conservative in bud-geting for student attendance, estimat-ing 3,080 this year compared to 3,105 at the end of last year.

In addition to the General Fund, Shaw detailed the budgeting process of the food service, debt service, and special programs funds.

He proposed a budget totaling $33,400,671 million, a $1.3 million increase from last year.

The tax rateShaw said he planned for $8.8 mil-

lion in local tax revenue despite esti-mates showing the district could col-lect over $9 million by the end of the current year, explaining that he prefers to budget conservatively.

Shaw explained his budget esti-mates nearly $300,000 more in local revenue.

In addition, he did budget for a higher level of state revenue based on the fact funding revoked several years ago is being reinstated during the up-coming year.

Local taxes account for about 35 percent of the general fund revenue, Shaw noted, recommending lower-ing the rate of 41.91 cents per $100 in property value to 38.9 cents per $100.

“After all the certified values came in, the calculations came in at a three-cent reduction,” he said. “That’s good news for our taxpayers.”

The board subsequently approved Shaw’s recommended budget and tax rate.

SiSD Chief Financial Officer, Gary Shaw explained the plan-ning of the 2014-2015 school budget and tax rate during the School board meeting aug. 25.

One injured in 2-car accident

by Natalie GeNtryOne person was injured Wednesday

Aug. 20 in a motor vehicle accident in the 2700 block of Jay Bird Lane, ac-cording to Reno police.

The crash occurred when a blue Nissan Versa driven by Shelly Plum-lee, 29, of Azle, was heading north on Jay Bird when the vehicle entered the southbound lane and struck a white Ford F150.

The driver of the Ford, John McCor-mick, 40, of Fort Worth, attempted to

avoid the collision but was unable to do so.

Plumlee’s vehicle struck the front of the truck, spun back across the road, and ultimately came to rest on the shoulder of the northbound lane.

McCormick was uninjured, but Plumlee was transported via Lifecare to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth with incapacitating injuries.

According to police, driver inat-tention may have been a contributing factor.

Low H2ODwindling levels in Lake Bridgeport lead to emergency

raw water pump placement

by Natalie GeNtryIn order to address the critically low

lake levels on Lake Bridgeport, both the Walnut Creek Special Utility Dis-trict (SUD) and the Brazos Electric Power Cooperative, Inc. have em-ployed the North Richland Hills engi-neering firm of E.S. & C.M., Inc. to design emergency raw water pumping facilities.

The problem with a severe low lake level is that the existing selection of on-shore raw water pumps are reach-ing a critical point where the can no longer effectively lift and pump water from the lake.

Area of concernWalnut Creek SUD furnishes water

services to over 7,000 retail customers and supplies water to five cities, in-cluding the northern Springtown area.

After reviewing proposals from sev-eral engineering firms E.S. & C.M., Inc. was selected for the project be-cause they offered the best plausible solution when considering cost, quick response time, and the ability to ad-dress a prolonged drought with even further decline in lake levels.

Solution to the problemKeith Hamilton, P.E., president of

E.S. & C.M., Inc. and Bill Lohrke,

senior project manager, developed a positive method to place large pumps on a heavy-duty marine barge that would pump up to 15 million gallons of water per day into the existing sub-merged inlet for both Walnut Creek SUD and for Brazos Electric Power Coop.

The engineering firm received emergency approvals from both the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality and from the lake owner, Tar-rant Regional Water District.

The project has been under construc-tion for about two weeks and consists

of a large pumping barge and a large work barge fitted with a heavy duty crane.

The work can be seen from the shoreline and is monitored daily by the engineering firm and by the two owner entities.

Barge capabilitiesThe emergency pumping

barge has been designed for mobile use should the lake lev-el continue to fall.

In the event the drought con-tinues, the barge will be moved

to deeper water where it will continue to supply water.

The barge can pump even if the lake level falls another 20 feet; however, it is hoped that a break in the long drought will occur within the next two years.

The pumping barge is bright-ly lighted at night and is en-circled with numerous lighted warning buoys.

In addition, the barge has ex-tensive electrical controls that will be incorporated into the supervisory control and data acquisition system for both op-eration and monitoring.

The general contractor on the project is Steve Harris of Har-ris Welding and Construction of Agnes while the electrical contractor is Kent Meyerhoef-fer, WHECO Electric of Fort Worth.

The estimated cost for the emergency raw water pumping facilities is $867,547.

The project and engineering methods to address a declin-ing lake level is very similar to the methods employed for the same reasons in surface area lakes supplying water to the Austin area.

by Natalie GeNtryIt’s widely understood that

children need healthy meals to learn, so the Springtown Inde-pendent School District (SISD) offers nutritious meals each school day.

Breakfast costs $1.50, while lunch is $2.25 for Pre-K through fourth grade and $2.50 for grades 5 through 12.

Second meals and adult lunches cost $3.50.

In July, the SISD released its policy for providing free and reduced-price meals for chil-dren in the school system, and copies of the policy are avail-able at each school and at the central office and may be re-viewed by anyone on request.

Families wishing to receive

benefits need to complete an application each year to ensure continued participation in the program.

Children from families whose gross income fall within the limits described on the Federal Income Eligibility Guidelines and summarized in the accom-panying chart qualify for free or reduced meals. As do chil-dren in households receiving benefits from the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP), Food Distribution Program on Indian Reserva-tions (FDPIR), or Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF).

In addition, foster children under the legal responsibility of a foster care agency or court are

eligible for free meals regard-less of the income of his or her resident household.

The district began distribut-ing letters to the households of the children in the district about eligibility benefits Aug. 1.

Families that received a letter of notification that their chil-dren are directly certified for free meals do not need to com-plete an application, but they should ensure all children in the home are listed and notify the school if any student was omitted.

Any household that does not receive a letter and feels it should have can contact Janet Moss, Director of Child Nutri-tion or Ginger Frizzell, Secre-tary at (817) 220-2460.

by mark k. campbellSpringtown ISD Superin-

tendent Mike Kelley filled in the Optimist Club on how the 2014-15 school year began.

One big improvement, he said, was the addition of full-time assistant principals.

When the state took away funds years ago, the decision was made to eliminate/consoli-date some assistant principals’ positions.

“Some schools had none or shared,” Kelley said.

With those state funds re-turning, filled positions this year include assistants for Gos-hen Creek Elementary (GCES), Jana Long; Springtown El-ementary School (SES), Angie Kraus, and Reno Elementary (RES), Tammy Shaw.

At the high school, for-mer longtime athletic trainer Brent Haugen is a new as-sistant and Scott McPherson, with long ties to Springtown, is the principal.

A new position, SHS Dean of Students, is held by former SHS grad Jimmy Steen, a “home-town boy,” who came over from Bridgeport, Kelley said.

Math attackWith the subject being a

concern in the district, a trio of elementary schools will re-ceive “math specialists” – Judy Workman at SES, Susan Lisle at GCES, and Renee Posey at RES.

While five of the SISD’s six elementary schools “met stan-dards” set by the state, SES did not in math.

“Fourth grade math did them in,” Kelley said.

He said that was a reason for the math specialists.

Previously, Springtown In-termediate School (SIS) “was there a few years ago,” but a comprehensive effort sent math scores “way up” there, Kelley said.

Now, SIS has received state recognition – Distinction Desig-nation – for being a “top 25 per-cent student progress” school.

The high school also earned a Distinction Designation for its social studies program. Kelley said 93 percent of SHS students passed.

He added that SISD’s ACT scores beat national and state averages.

Buses and studentsKelley said 10 minutes have

been added to the school year daily for 2014-15; school time for SHS is up by 12 minutes.

The superintendent said the number of non-air-con-ditioned buses this year has dropped to five.

“And only three of those are

on routes,” Kelley said.The massive traffic back-

ups on Highway 199 and Main Street will dissolve once par-ents begin putting their chil-dren on buses, he noted.

“The first days parents bring their kids to school,” Kelley said.

The actual number of enroll-ees in the district varies widely the first week, he said.

Kelley said he expected a rise of 50 to 80 children by the end of the opening week.

Money savingsKelley said a program with

TCU continues to be a boon for SISD technology.

The university regularly ro-tates out their computers and sells them to the ISD at a deep discount.

Last year, Springtown bought 140 at $125 each.

“It’s great for us and great for them,” Kelley said. “We have saved hundreds of thou-sands of dollars.”

He noted that the BYOD – Bring Your Own Device – con-tinues at SHS.

Those students’ devices are kept separate from teachers’ to keep viruses at bay.

School bonds will likely be refinanced, Kelley said. Bar-ring national economic up-heaval, the savings could top $2 million.

SISD is in good shape finan-cially, he said.

“We are in the best position we have been in a long time,” Kelley said.

by NaTaLie GeNTryThe Sept. 2 charity quarter

auction at the Senior Center will raise funds for the Friends of the Springtown Library.

Money collected will allow for the continued improvement of materials, programs, and the facilities.

The night is sure to be fun as each of the 10-20 vendors dis-plays an item and gives a brief description.

They then give a bid amount – usually one to four quarters –and anyone interested in the item raises their paddle and pays the bid.

After all bids are in, numbers are drawn until one that match-es a number of a raised paddle

is found and the winner is announced.

Multiple paddles may be pur-chased to increase the odds of winning a bid – although a bid for each paddle is required for it to be counted.

So if you have two paddles and want to raise them both for a 50-cent item, you would need to put in a dollar.

There will also be door prizes and a 50/50 raffle for all of the quarter bids.

Doors open at 6 p.m. and auction begins 30 minutes later at the Springtown Senior Citi-zen’s Center, 1070 North Main Street (FM 51).

You must be at least 18 to attend.

EditorMark K. Campbell

Davy Crockett (1786-1836) was a master-ful storyteller, and a self-taught one. After a colorful ten-year career as a U. S. Rep-

resentative from Tennessee, he headed for Texas in 1835, looking for land and a new start. By March of 1836 he was dead, one of the first to die in defense of the Texas Revolution at the Alamo. His autobiography, while written in the entertaining tall-tale style, is con-sidered a reliable source by most his-torians.

The Siege of the Alamo“I write this on the nineteenth of

February, 1836, at San Antonio. We are all in high spirits, though we are rather short of provisions, for men who have appetites that could digest any thing but oppression; but no matter, we have

a prospect of soon getting our bellies full of fighting, and that is victuals and drink to a true patriot any day.

“We had a little sort of convivial party last evening; just about a dozen of us set to work, most patriotically, to see whether we could not get rid of that curse of the land, whiskey, and we made considerable progress; but my poor friend, Thimblerig, got sewed up just about as tight as the eyelet-hole in a lady’s corset, and a little tighter too, I reckon; for when he went to bed he called for a bootjack, which was brought to him, and he bent down on his hands and knees, and very gravely pulled off his hat with it, for the darned critter was so thoroughly swiped that he didn’t know his head from his heels. But this wasn’t all the folly he com-mitted; he pulled off his coat and laid it on the bed, and then hung himself over the back of a chair; and I wish

I may be shot if he didn’t go to sleep in that position, think-ing every thing had been done according to Gunter’s late scale. Seeing the poor fel-low complete-ly used up, I carried him to bed, though he did belong to the Tem-perance soci-

ety; and he knew nothing about what had occurred until I told him the next morning. The Bee hunter didn’t join us in the blow-out. Indeed, he will seldom drink more than just enough to prevent his being called a total ab-

stinence man. But then he is the most jovial fellow for a water drinker I ever did see.

“This morning I saw a caravan of about fifty mules passing by Bexer, and bound for Santa Fe. They were loaded with different articles to such a degree that it was astonishing how they could travel at all, and they were nearly worn out by their labors. They were without bridle or halter, and yet proceeded with perfect regularity in a single line; and the owners of the caravan rode their mustangs with their enormous spurs, weighing at least a pound a piece, with rowels an inch and a half in length, and lever bits of the harshest description, able to break the jaws of their animals under a very gentle pressure.

“The men were dressed in the cos-tume of Mexicans. Colonel Travis sent out a guard to see that they were

not laden with munitions of war for the enemy. I went out with the party. The poor mules were bending under a burden of more than three hundred pounds, without including the pan-niers which were bound so tight as al-most to stop the breath of the poor ani-mal. Each of the sorrowful line came up, spontaneously, in turn to have his girth unbound and his load removed.

“They seemed scarcely able to keep upon their feet, and as they succes-sively obtained relief, one after another heaved a long deep sigh, which it was painful to hear, because it proved that the boor brutes had been worked be-yond their strength. What a world of misery man inflicts upon the rest of cre-ation in his brief passage through life!”

HISTORICALHIGHLIGHTS

Laurie Moseley

Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologistand historian who lives in Springtown. He is the

director of Springtown’s Legends Museum.

When a larger than life community leader suddenly leaves us, such as Pas-tor of Hilltop Family Church, Johnnie Conway, it shocks us.

It shocks not only his church, but the community because of that larger than life presence. His service was not just to his church; it was to this community. He made it quite clear by his actions that he loved this community. We didn't have to be a member of his church for him to love us and to serve us.

I'm not a member of Hilltop Family Church, but I know a lot of members who attend there. I didn't know Pastor Conway well, but I met him and talked with him on occasion. I've always no-ticed his presence...always. I've heard the question asked, “Do others see Je-sus in you?” I truly believe I saw Jesus in this man. That is why I felt com-pelled to write about him.

The first time I met Johnnie Con-way was several years ago in the Winn-Dixie grocery store. There are some that may not even know that it was Winn-Dixie before Brookshire’s. I was in line behind this man who was checking out. There was not someone available to sack groceries so he was joking and laughing with the checker and sacking his groceries. When he was all done, he started helping with my groceries.

He introduced himself to me and told me he was the Pastor of Hilltop Family Church. I had not even heard of that church, but I instantly liked the man. If he invited me to church I don't remember. I was a member of another church and most likely would not have

Remembering Johnnie Conway

gone. I'm glad I had that first meeting because from that day on I would see him many times and get to know him a little bit.

As a member of the Chamber of Commerce, Pastor Conway was often there, asking the blessing on the meal at the luncheons, laughing, talking to everyone and being that larger than life person that we all came to know and love. I told him once not long ago at a luncheon that I had thought a lot about visiting Hilltop Church. He said, “Sure, come visit, if you like us come back, if you don't that is okay.” He hugged me and we laughed and I really had planned to go visit. Folks, always do what you say you are go-ing to do. We have no assurances of tomorrow.

Actually, I've been to Hilltop on oth-er occasions. We've had two friends to die and their service was held there. Although Pastor Conway officiated at their funerals, other speakers did most of the funeral services. He didn't have to speak. His presence was there and that was comforting.

My husband and I attended a Valen-tine dinner at Hilltop in 2013, which was a fundraiser for Liberty Light-house. We came there only knowing a few people. We sat at a table that no one else sat down at. A few peo-ple came by, said hello and then went on to another table with their friends. Then Pastor Conway came in and saw us sitting there alone. He came right over and asked if others had greeted us. We told them yes and then he left. However, he came back to our table, he and his wife sat with us, and he had others to sit there as well. We had a great meal and conversation. That is what Jesus would do, isn't it?

On another occasion, we were at Hilltop for the prayer breakfast in May. Many elected county officials were there, other pastors and many folks from other churches. As the host church, of course, Pastor Conway was spreading his usual friendly hospital-ity. That was one of the most inspir-ing events I believe I've ever attended. The presence of God's spirit was evi-dent. I hope to go back there next year for the prayer breakfast. I believe we will feel another spirit there and it will be Pastor Johnnie Conway.

The last time I saw this fine man was at the Chamber of Commerce luncheon on August 14 to welcome the new teachers. Several Springtown pastors had paid for the meal that day so it was free to all. The pastors were being thanked by Chamber President, Robert Moss. Pastor Conway made one of his usual funnies and said, “It wasn't his idea, it was the pastor of the church of Christ,” indicating he had been coerced into paying for the meals. Of course, we all laughed as I figure most of us knew it was John-nie Conway's idea. God love him. He was beyond generous with his time, money and unselfish service to this community.

Hilltop Family Church members will go on although there is a big hole in their hearts. Pastor Conway will be replaced with another pastor. I'm sure God will provide them with someone most suitable. No one will ever fill Johnnie Conway's shoes nor will they want to try. He left a big footprint in this community. Springtown is a bet-ter place because he was here.

Letter to the editor

Farewell groovy shoes and Frank Zappa

ON YOUR MARKMark K. Campbell

D’oh! There’s nothing like the truth to mess up a good story.

Forever, I have told people that I have a pair of shoes

that I purchased back in the late 1970’s, when disco reigned.

(We rockers used to highly disdain disco, much like we did the Carpen-ters and, later, Hall and Oates. Today, I know all the words to all of the for-mer’s tunes and one of the first songs I ever bought on an iDealie was Hall and Oates’ “Sara Smile.” And, about disco...well, my ringtone is “Stayin’ Alive.” Someday, even the hair bands of the 1980’s – so highly reviled to-day by music snobs – will come back into vogue. I predict my ringtone in 2022 will be Ratt’s “Round and Round.”)

Anyway, the Bride told me those brown leather shoes with wooden heels did not carbon date from 1978 but from the early 1980’s, right af-ter our second daughter was born. That puts them more along the lines of Kim Carnes’ “Bette Davis Eyes” rather than K.C. and the Sunshine

Band’s “I’m Your Boogie Man.”

Still, that’s pretty old for a pair of shoes, 33 years. They were the only pair of brown dress shoes I had during that stretch.

I had them resoled a few times, but soon the actual ar-chitecture of the shoe – its very integrity – began literally disintegrating.

That was OK; I didn’t wear them a ton. Then I went to the movie about a year ago. The weak heel failed as I walked down the steep stairs and I tumbled all the way to the lower level.

The heel had separated. But I found it – rooting around in the auditorium afterward, cer-tainly creeping out the teenag-ers trying to clean the place up for the next showing.

It had simply come undone and the (old) shoe nails stuck in the carpet. So I just stomped the heel back on and it worked just fine for months.

Then it happened again. And again. The stomping repair began to be less effec-tive.

The final straw was head-ing to an elementary school’s principal’s office and the thing snapping off twice. The end had come for my groovy brown disco shoes.

Sighing, I threw them away. (The Bride rejoiced.)

Seeing them off reminded me of my all-time favorite t-shirt. (The Bride can probably shoot this date down too, but I’m more solid on this one.)

I had the very coolest shirt ever made (for 1976). It was blue with a huge solid black imprint of the then-hipsters’ hero, Frank Zappa.

I love Zappa. He’s not for everyone. He was a liberal’s liberal back in the day and did not shy away from avant-garde musical experiments stuffed with sometimes witty/crude lyrics. (“Watch out where the huskies go/Don’t

you eat that yellow snow.”)His record Apostrophe became the

big thing in our gang and we quoted from it regularly, chuckling at our in-jokes like “Is that a real pancho or a Sear’s pancho?” and “Your stink-foot puts the hurt on my nose.”

(Could we have been cooler?)There’s a photo of me, 20, wearing

the shirt while on a Galveston beach in 1976.

So, in an effort to recapture those lost 70’s, I searched the Internet for that stylin’ old Zappa shirt. Surely, someone had one, somewhere.

They did not.There are plenty of other Zappa

shirts at many stores, emblazoned with his wacky philosophies. But that original piece of clothing is nowhere to be found.

They have gone the way of my fan-tastic disco shoes – only I suspect the true facts are that the Bride is the one who tossed Zappa.

D’oh.

Thursday, August 28, 201410A OPINION

Gov. Rick Perry on Aug. 20 walked the block and a half from the G o v e r n o r ’ s

Mansion to the Travis County Courthouse, presented himself for arraignment by a state dis-trict judge and routine booking procedures, spoke at a five-min-ute press conference and left.

Perry was indicted on Aug. 15 by a Travis County grand jury on felony charges of abuse of official capacity and coer-cion of a public servant. Perry entered a plea of not guilty to either charge.

The charges stem from the governor’s veto of the Public Integrity Unit’s 2014-2015 bud-get in June 2013. The 35-em-ployee unit, which serves as the state’s ethics-investigating body, is the direction of Travis County District Attorney Rose-mary Lehmberg. Perry said he would veto the agency’s budget unless Lehmberg resigned from her elected office.

Lehmberg was arrested in Austin for drunken driving in April 2013. Photographs and video recordings of her condi-tion immediately before, dur-ing and after her arrest were widely disseminated. She served a short jail sentence, publicly apologized, underwent counseling, returned to her post, and contrary to the gover-nor’s wishes, refused to resign. Perry reacted with a line-item

veto of legislatively approved funding for the Public Integrity Unit ($7.5 million) in the state’s 2014-2015 general appropria-tions act.

Perry assembled a legal defense team and called the charg-es baseless. Concerns about the cost of a taxpayer-funded de-fense soon arose and Perry supporters said private donations were being raised in lieu of public fund-ing.

DWI patrols to increaseTexas Department of Public

Safety on Aug. 15 announced the planned increase of DWI patrols through Sept. 2. Labor Day is Monday, Sept. 1.

DPS troopers will focus DWI patrols in high-risk locations at times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent. Enhanced patrols targeting impaired drivers are funded through a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation.

During the Labor Day en-forcement effort last year, DPS troopers made 1,682 DWI ar-rests,24,443 speeding citations, 3,541 seat belt/child safety seat citations, 1,223 fugitive arrests and 977 felony arrests.

DPS Director Steven Mc-Craw said, “The Department urges all drivers to do their part

this Labor Day holi-day and every day by obeying traffic laws and not drinking and driving.”

Meanwhile, Tex-as Department of Transportation is promoting its annual Labor Day “Drink-Drive-Go-to-Jail” campaign to remind drivers and motorcy-clists to avoid drink-ing and driving or else face severe con-sequences.

The Aug. 15 through Sept. 1 campaign co-incides with a nationwide en-forcement period sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

CNG, LNG sales reportedSales of natural gas motor

fuel in Texas has exceeded ex-pectations for fiscal year 2014, Texas Railroad Commissioner David Porter announced Aug. 19.

As of July 31, fiscal 2014 tax revenue from sales of com-pressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) motor fuel totaled $2,178,199, according to the state Comp-troller’s office.

“These collections are more than double the estimated amount,” Porter said. “At 15 cents per gallon equivalent, $2,178,199 of motor fuel tax equals sales of 14,521,326

gallon equivalents of natural gas.” A gallon equivalent is the amount of CNG or LNG with the same energy content as a gallon of gasoline or diesel fuel, Porter explained.

Prop. 1 to be on ballotTexas Secretary of State

Nandita Berry on Aug. 20 an-nounced a proposed amend-ment to the Texas Constitution related to transportation will appear on the Nov. 4 statewide election ballot as Proposition 1.

Prop. 1 provides for the use and dedication of certain money transferred to the state highway fund to assist in the completion of transportation construction, maintenance and rehabilitation projects, not to include toll roads.

The last day to register to vote in the election is Oct. 6. Early voting begins Oct. 20 and runs through Oct. 31. More in-formation may be found at Vo-teTexas.gov.

ACT number hits highTexas Education Commis-

sioner Michael Williams on Aug. 20 announced the number of Texas students in the 2014 graduating class taking the ACT college admission test hit a new high: 116,547, up by more than 6,700 students from 2013.

My friends, I am aware of a world-wide epi-demic. I’ve seen it for

years, as one who works pri-marily with volunteers. It has no official name, but I suggest a couple: (1) Hand Raising Syn-drome or (2) No-No-Itis.

HRS manifests when leaders are looking for vol-unteers for projects or initiatives. Af-flicted persons im-mediately raise their hands to volunteer without considering all that is involved. They are enthusias-tic team players, the kind of people that leaders love to have around because they help get new things off the ground quickly.

NNI looks like HRS except it manifests pri-vately. Persons afflicted with this strain may not be so quick to volunteer publicly, but they have the inability to say “no” to requests that come directly to them. They possess no “no.”

I am in recovery from both of these. HRS shows up rare-ly now, but NNI is a constant battle that requires some very intentional protocols. I will ad-dress those protocols momen-tarily, but let me pause for a moment of clarification.

If you do not suffer from ei-ther of these afflictions, you ei-ther have good boundaries and processing skills or you may be suffering from AGD (Ain’t Gonna Do it) or HOS (Happy on the Sidelines), in which case different protocols will be ad-dressed in next week’s Life Matters.

Now, back to this week’s protocols. Here are three ques-tions to consider before saying “Yes”:

1. If I say “yes” to this, to what will I have to say “no?” There are only 10,080 minutes in a week. Our answers do not affect that number. Will you

say “no” to sleep, family time, work responsibilities, or minis-tries in which you are already invested?

2. What will my life look like five years from now if I say “yes” to this? Time resources are easier to quantify, but you also have a finite amount of fi-nancial and personal resources (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual energy). Every

“yes” costs some-thing in each of those categories and will automati-cally necessitate a “no” somewhere else. The mytholog-ical “multi-tasking” concept is really do-ing multiple things in rapid succession with diminishing effectiveness.

3. Is this some-thing God is asking me to do and what is the eternal invest-

ment? God sometimes speaks to us through those requests from others, but if we are consistent-ly listening to Him and have already responded to a greater “yes” in the scope of His king-dom purposes, it is much easier to say “no” without regret or apology to requests that really don’t do much except create more busyness and stress, and tax our resources so that we are unable to say “yes” when God is moving.

Our lives matter so much to God that He wants us to invest in things that have eternal con-sequence. Jesus said, “Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” (Matthew 6:20-21)

How are you investing in eternity?

Scrimmages: Porcupines Versus Bulls

There was action a-plenty during Springtown’s second scrimmage, against Bridge-port at Porcupine Stadium. All the while, coaches – including new coach Brian Hu-lett (squatting) – kept a close eye on the proceedings. Photos by Mark K. Campbell

By MARk k. cAMPBELLWhile things did not go great

at a Glen Rose tournament, the Lady Porcupine volleyball team won its first two home matches of 2014.

On Aug. 22, Springtown (9-8) swept Rio Vista 25-9, 25-11, 25-6.

Brooklyn Dauenhauer shone with 9 kills, 14 assists, 4 aces, 3 digs, and a block.

Brittany Stroud an Ashton Weaver killed 5 balls apiece.

Sydney Farris carded 10 as-sists. Gabby Terry and Jazzmyn Mannin blocked a ball each.

Coach Leighann Strickland said, “We focused and were able to keep consistent tempo

to the game. There are great things happening when we stay consistent.”

The next day at the Glen Rose tourney, SHS opened against the hosts and stumbled 15-25, 21-25.

Dauenhauer got 8 kills, over half of the Lady Porcupines’ 14.

Game two on Aug. 23 pitted Springtown against Maypearl and SHS tumbled 25-27 25-21, 22-25.

Mackensie Martin paced the Lady Porcupines with 12 of the team’s 37 digs.

Dauenhauer and Weaver put down plenty of balls – 12 and 10, respectively – and the for-

mer served 4 aces.Farris’ 13 assists was tops for

Springtown.SHS evened its record in

game 3 of Aug. 23 with a 25-19, 23-25, 25-21 win over Waco University.

Weaver brought the thunder with 13 kills. Dauenhauer led with 14 assists and Martin dug out 13 balls.

Back home, Grandview fell at the SHS gym, 26-24, 25-16, 25-15.

Stat leaders were Dauenhau-er (15 kills), Farris (14 assists, 4 aces), and Weaver (2.5 blocks).

Strickland said, “Every-one played well. We fixed our block and were able to get more touches that helped out defense.”

NEXT UP – The Lady Por-cupine varsity is headed south to Groesbeck for its final tour-nament of the season.

Then, on Sept. 2, Springtown will travel to Saginaw to face Chisholm Trail.

SHS will not play at home again until Tuesday, Sept. 16 when a series of four straight matches begins with Dublin.

That fourth match is the 4-5A district opener against Castle-berry on Sept. 26.

FROSH – The 9th grade Lady Porcupines (3-2) swept Rio Vista 25-8, 25-7 and Grandview 25-20, 25-17.

Coach Mallory Daniel said the squad’s communication was a key to the victories.

Aginat RV, Lexy Burt led with 7 aces; Karlee Eddy served 5 aces.

In the Grandview contest, Hannah Downes had a trio of aces, digs, and kills. Jordan Babcock killed 3, too.

By mark k. CamPBellReady or not, the 2014

Springtown High School foot-ball season arrives Friday, Aug. 29 at 7:30 p.m.

Decatur is the first foe for new coach Brian Hulett.

He has seen his new charges in a pair of scrimmages and 16 practices.

The second scrimmage against Bridgeport Aug. 21 showed Hulett more about his Porcupines.

“We did better things,” he said. “But we’ve got to get

better and develop a finishing mentality.”

Another problem he wit-nessed, Hulett said, was some late-scrimmage weariness.

“We’ve got to play through fatigue,” he said.

SHS will field a senior-heavy squad this year with 25 on the 32-man opening night roster.

Two of those twelfth grad-ers – Tyler Hickman and Dil-lon Springfield – will quarter-back with sophomore Kaleb Chesney, the coach noted.

“Our staff is still figuring out kids and still making adjust-ments,” Hulett said.

Many of those seniors are experienced and that helps, he said. The coach added that sev-eral juinors are battle tested, too.

Hulett said that Decatur also has plenty of veteran athletes.

“They have more depth and size than us,” the coach said, adding that Springtown will be smaller than any foe they face in 2014.

“Decatur has quality, can run, and have tradition,” he said.

About the Porcupines, Hulett said, “We still have a lot to do.”

And that progress begins publicly Friday night.

A Dame to Kill ForNeither here ‘noir’ there

Starring: Mickey Rourke, Josh Brolin, Jessica Alba, Eva GreenDirected by: Miller/RodriguezRated R: everything – yes, the Movie Man said everything

... on a scale of 1-104

Thursday, August 28, 2014Movie Man14A

The follow up to 2005’s Sin City (Movie Man No. 606, a 5) took its time arriving. It’s fi-nally here just over nine years later and, unfortunately, it suf-fers from the same woes of the original.

About the film

The first one wasn’t a colos-sal hit at $74.1 million. But it had its fanboy base and that grew via in-home viewing.

This sequel is similar to the original with a couple of excep-tions.

One, it tanked huge at the box office.

Two, the title is much lon-ger: Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

That’s far from the longest ti-tle ever, however. If you throw out documentaries, obscure foreign movies, and shorts, a few mainstream movies rank among the lengthiest.

A doozy is Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines or How I flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours 11 Minutes. That was 1965.

Another hails from 2006, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glo-rious Nation of Kazakhstan (MM #690, 7).

The most critically loved long-titled movie is Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Wor-rying and Love the Bomb in (1964).

Another one that gave mar-quee builders headaches was Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (1999).

A couple of others that gained some notoriety: Who Is Har-ry Kellerman and Why is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me? (1971) and The As-sassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford (2007, probably the least seen Brad Pitt movie).

Fans of weirdo Sixties mov-ies (like the Movie Man) are fond of The Incredibly Strange

Latest graphic novel adaptation plenty graphicCreatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zom-bies (1964).

The “official” record holder for longest title is intentionally stupid: Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Hellbound, Flesh-Eat-ing, Subhumanoid Zombified Living Dead, Part 2: In Shock-ing 2-D (1991).

All these titles make Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For seem piddling, admit-tedly. It’s one of those titles that has a prominent creator – writ-er, director, etc. – in the title; di-rector John Carpenter is famed for this.

Miller is as beloved by fan-boys as Joss Whedon and J.J. Abrams. Miller gained nerd fame when he penned popular Batman comic stories back in the 1980’s.

He was also behind the film misfires Robocop 2 (1990) and 3 (1993) and he wrote the graphic novel that was turned into the hit 300 (2006, MM#708, 6). Its sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire (2014, MM #1,079, 7), was also based on one of Miller’s graphic efforts.

In 2008, folks (including the Movie Man) had high hopes for The Spirit (MM #805, 3). Mill-er wrote that screenplay, but it suffered from the same malady that the Sin Citys suffer from: They look cool but just end up being completely forgettable.

Miller had a hand in directing a trio of movies – Spirit and the Sin Citys – that perform better on the page than the screen.

The plot

There are actually three threads of plots weaving around here, some of them prequels to the original movie. (That hard-ly matters when watching it, however.)

Basin City is scummy and these tales revolve around the even scummier parts of town.

Marv (Mickey Rourke) is a

beast of a bouncer who protects stripper Nancy (Jessica Alba) who is angry at senator Roark (Powers Boothe) for killing the only person she ever loved, Hartigan (Bruce Willis).

Johnny (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is the luckiest guy in the world at gambling, some-thing he plans on using to get to Roark.

Dwight (Josh Brolin) can’t shake the lure of Ava (Eva Green) who manipulates men with her sensuality to get whatever she wants – includ-ing investigating cop Mort (Christopher Meloni) – with loyal henchman Manute (Den-nis Haysbert) always there to protect her.

Characters ebb and flow, popping up then disappear-ing before joining together for some serious havoc.

What works

As expected, this movie looks great. It mimics the look of a black-and-white graphic comic with occasional star-tling splashes of red or other colors.

The dialogue is intentionally smarmy and campy – the entire film is a take-off on the film noir moviemaking style from the 1940s.

Many static scenes – mirror-ing comic book panels – look fantastic including a stack of gambler’s coins that resemble

a cityscape and the hulking Roark wandering around in the midst of gunfire and may-hem.

Boothe as the senator is far and away the top dog in the act-ing category. He’s straight-up evil and clearly revels in it.

Best scene (spoiler)

Boothe’s Roark is not happy that Gordon-Levitt’s Johnny has not only defeated him in his secret poker game but flat-out humiliated him. So Roark, in his long limo, screeches up and snatches Johnny. Inside the car, very bad things happen to the cocky Johnny. (He ends up having to visit a back alley doctor played by Christopher

Lloyd.)There’s intensity in this scene

that does not show up again, sadly.

What doesn’t work (spoiler)

The characters are just not interesting here despite great potential. Willis is a ghost and Haysbert is built up as invin-cible then gets dispatched way too easily.

Alba is an incredibly bad actress. Believing she could ever fulfill her violent vendetta against Roark is simply impos-sible.

The greatest crime of A Dame to Kill For is the pitiful lack of using the 3-D process. If any movie ever begged to be more in-yo’-face, it was this one. Yet, except for occasional blood spurts (which get old very quickly) or a heaved weapon, the film is disappointingly flat. That was a royal bummer.

The rating

This is a hard R. Green dis-robes often, and there’s a ton of violence and gore. Surprising-ly, the language isn’t too bad at all until late. Still, this is a very hard R.

Summing up

High hopes dashed once again, sigh. A film can’t just

look good – it’s gotta deliver more.

And Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For fails, long title or not.

Next up

The November Man (looks like old school spy fun).

Summer is now officially over, movie-wise. Still, the fi-nal tally for the Guess the Top 10 Movies of Summer won’t be done until the end of September or so.

One thing is for sure: The Guardians of the Galaxy (MM #1,099, 7) will be the No. 1 movie of the season.

The first bell rang Monday, Aug. 25 for the 2014-15 school year, and parents, some teary-eyed, brought their children to school in Azle and Springtown. Workers returned, too – whether in the cafeteria (bottom left) or in an administrative office where Goshen Creek Elementary’s Principal Wes Thomas made announcements (below).
