by Natalie GeNtryA newly designed Springtown In-

dependent School District (SISD) flag will soon be flying over the Parker County Courthouse.

Parker County Judge Mark Riley asked all local schools – public and private – to provide a school flag to display every Friday throughout the school year.

According to a press release from Riley’s office, most of the area school districts responded quickly, excited and honored to have their colors flown on the courthouse lawn in the center of Weatherford, he noted.

“I think Judge Riley’s idea is ter-rific, and I appreciate what his office is doing,” said SISD superintendent Mike Kelley.

Springtown – along with Azle and Aledo – did not have flags available at the time of the request.

However, Kelley and the other SISD administrators have ordered flags so that they can join the Brock, Millsap, Peast-er, Poolville, and Weatherford school districts’ flags that began flying Sept. 12.

“Judge Riley’s office called letting us know that they planned to fly a flag from every school in the county on

Fridays. Unfortunately, having a flag designed and created takes some time, so our flag won’t be flown until later,” Kelley said. “American Dream Flag and Banner is creating our flag. Hope-fully we’ll have one ready to donate soon.”

Riley explained that the excitement that comes with the start of the high school football season was part of what led to the idea, but the flags are not just about football season.

“I think it is a great opportunity to make the courthouse a part of the community and a part of every school in the county,” Judge Riley said. “It is exciting to see the strong sense of school spirit and community pride be-ing shown and we are thrilled to help share that enthusiasm on the court-house lawn.

“This is about our schools and our courthouse being a part of the com-munity spirit, not just about a certain sport,” he said. “We want to fly these flags every Friday throughout the en-tire school year.

“We are celebrating our schools and our students’ success in their aca-demics, their athletics and their lives in general.”

by Natalie GeNtryThe time has come for bewhiskered

brothers of the Springtown area to as-semble for the first ever Wild Wild Whiskers Competition at the 30th Wild West Festival Sept. 20.

Proud beard owners, those sprout-ing their first patch of peach fuzz, and the whisker-free, are all invited to en-joy the competition.

A wild hairEvent creator and coordinator,

Dustin Morrow of Thomas’s Barber-shop, said his longing to participate in a beard contest was what inspired him to organize the competition.

“I have always been a fan of facial hair,” Morrow said. “I wear a fairly large beard myself which is funny considering that shaving faces is part-ly how I earn my living.

“I have a lot of ‘hair brain’ ideas (pun intended) so as a general rule I run them by my wife before I go pub-lic with them. When I told her about the idea her response was ‘That’s awesome! Why haven’t you done this yet?’”

Since then a lot of people have shown their support for the idea, in-cluding the Chamber of Commerce.

“I know there are people who are in-terested in the idea yet still don’t know quite what to expect, and that’s okay, considering this is a type of event that Springtown has not seen before,”

Morrow said.“I’ve always wanted to compete in

a beard competition, so I figured if I couldn’t find one then I would host one for everybody else,” he contin-ued. “I expect the day to be a lot of fun while hopefully raising a lot of money for the Tabernacle.”

All entry fees and money from the people’s choice category will be going straight to the Tabernacle fund, as will a portion of the t-shirt sales.

Good hair dayA booth will be set up near the Tab-

ernacle during the Wild West Festival so that people will be able to register until 2 p.m.

The registration is $10 to compete and contestants will have a picture taken in the photo booth provided by Meant To Bee event planning.

by Natalie GeNtryThe search for festive

homes to showcase in the 35th annual Legends Museum Christmas Tour of Homes has begun.

The Springtown Chamber of Commerce is looking for hous-es in the greater Springtown area to add to the event, sched-uled for Saturday, Dec. 6.

In keeping with the rich tra-dition of Southern hospital-ity, homeowners on the tour invite the public into their abodes to catch a glimpse of their unique and varied holi-day decor.

Last year’s tour featured the uniquely decorated homes of Ben and Shawna Allen, Roy, Charla and Ryder Stephens, Joe and Wanda Lacey, Joe and Gloria Elam, the Clark Patter-son home as well as the Agnes Baptist Church.

From the traditional to the avant-garde, the Tour of Homes is a wonderful way to share the yuletide cheer and tiding of the season.

All funds from ticket sales go directly back to the museum.

NEWS DIGEST

Thursday, September 18, 20142A

The Parker County Emergency Services District #1 will hold two public hearings on a proposal to increase total tax revenues from properties on the tax roll in the preceding tax year by 3.079 percent (percentage by which proposed tax rate exceeds lower or rollback tax rate or effective tax rate calculated under Chapter 26, Tax Code). Your individual taxes may increase at a greater or lesser rate, or even decrease, depending on the change in taxable value of your property in the relation to the change in taxable value of all other property and tax rate that is adopted.

The first public hearing will be held on September 15, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. at the Aledo Park & Community Center, 104 Robinson Court, Aledo, Texas 76008.

The second public hearing will be held on September 23, 2014 at 6:00 p.m. at the ESD#1 Administration Building, 315 Morrow Road, Springtown, Texas 76082

The members of the governing body voted on the proposal to consider the tax increase as follows:

FOR: Commissioners Wershay, Jack, Peden AGAINST: None PRESENT and not voting: None ABSENT: Commissioners Stelzer and MckinleyThe average taxable value of a residence homestead in ESD#1 last year was $139,551. Based on last year’s tax rate of $.10000 per $100 of taxable value, the amount of taxes imposed last year on the average home was $139.55.

The average taxable value of a residence homestead in ESD#1 this year is $177,418. If the governing body adopts the effective tax rate for this year of $.09701222 per $100 of taxable value, the amount of taxes imposed this year on the average home would be $172.12.

If the governing body adopts the proposed tax rate of $.10000 per $100 of taxable value, the amount of taxes imposed this year on the average home would be $177.42.

Members of the public are encouraged to attend the hearings and express their views.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Lord’s Acre Festival arrives Sept. 27The annual First United Methodist Church of Springtown

Lord’s Acre Festival is set for Saturday, Sept. 27.The event is conducted at the church’s Family Life Center

on the corner of Highway 51 (Main Street) and Third.A grilled pork chop lunch begins serving at 11:30 a.m. – $8

for adults, $4 for children – while quilts, hand-made crafts, canned goods, pastries, and a silent auction are on-going. A live auction begins at 1 p.m.

Out-of-School test dates Oct. 20-23For the October 2014 administrations of the TAKS exit lev-

el tests, all registration for out-of-school examinees is online only. TAKS examinees (including former TAAS and TEAMS examinees) must register online at http://www.TexasAssess-ment.com/taksoos.

While regular registration has ended, examinees can con-tinue to register on site at Springtown High School the day of testing.

The October 2014 TAKS exit level tests will be adminis-tered Oct. 20-23.

Because the TAAS tests are no longer being administered, former TAAS examinees (including former TEAMS examin-ees) will take the appropriate part of the TAKS exit level Eng-lish language arts and/or math test(s) on Oct. 20-22.

On the day(s) of testing, examinees should arrive at Spring-town High School at least 30 minutes before the designated testing time. Examinees must present picture identification, such as a driver’s license, DPS ID, military ID, school ID, or resident alien card to test.

can vote for their favorite by donating $1.

Then at 3 p.m. the contest it-self will begin.

Contestants will be called onto the Tabernacle stage by category and present their fa-cial hair to the judges and the crowd.

Judges will score the hair on a 1-10 scale, and the contestant with the highest score wins the category.

At the end of the competi-tion, the category winners come back on stage to be re-scored and a wildly be-whis-kered Grand Champion will be declared.

Splitting hairsThere will be

four judges – each one provided by one of the competi-tion sponsors: Dave Conklin from Texas Equine Mercantile, Robert Morrow of Lucky Ridge Farrier Services, Tim Stein-ly of Pearly Gates Construction, and Bea Shearman from Meant to Bee event planning.

Morrow himself, will MC the event.

The judges will be looking for four main elements in ev-ery entry.

Those elements

are symmetry, overall shape, style, and presentation.

“Basically they will be judg-ing the facial hair and how it affects the overall look,” Mor-row said.

Plus, they would like to see someone who can “work the crowd.”

Put hair on your... faceThere are five categories

competitors can enter depend-ing on what kind of facial hair they sport.

• Mustache: This means hair on the upper lip only.

Contestants will not be judged on anything growing below the corners of the mouth.

‘Staches can be waxed and styled into any shape or left all natural.

• Partial Beard: Also known as the “Wild Goatee” category.

Contestants can wear a goa-tee (chin only), a Van Dyke (connected chin and mustache only), a Donegal (neck and cheeks only, no mustache), or a chin strap (Jaw line only).

Basically this category covers anything more than a mustache but less than a beard.

• Full Beard Natural: Mor-row’s personal favorite, this category is for the people who just let it grow, no styling just big beards.

• Freestyle: This category is a known crowd-pleaser in beard competitions.

Contestants sculpt their beards into shapes that often seem to defy gravity.

• People’s Choice: This cat-egory is open to everybody, no matter age or gender. The prize simply goes to whoever can get the most donations in their name based on their photo from the photo booth. $1 equals one vote.

All said it’s sure to be a day of hair-raising fun and friendly competition.

by Natalie GeNtryThe 87th Texas Extension Education As-

sociation, Inc. (TEEA) State Conference was held at the Multi-Purpose Events Center (MPEC) in Wichita Falls Sept. 9-10.

During the conference, three Springtown Extension Education Club (EEC) members were installed as members of the 2014-2015 State Board.

Julia Moseley was installed as state presi-dent, Ola Culwell as District 3 director, and Cita Honeycutt as educational chair.

Barbara Sampson and Margaret Avery served as delegates to the Conference.

Other members from the Springtown EEC attending the Conference included Wanda Lacey, Sheila Woody, and Mary Van Zile.

The theme for the Conference was Love, Faith, and Devotion – words taken from the TEEA Creed which states:

“We believe in the sanctity of the home. We believe in the home as the place where love, faith, trust, and devotion must be lived each day, where obedience and reverence grow, and where God is known.

“We believe those within its walls should be

taught to work, to play, and to have compas-sion for those less fortunate.

“We believe sharing responsibilities is nec-essary and that from the fireside will come the citizens who will uphold the best ways of life.”

The Mission of TEEA is to work with the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service to strengthen and enrich families through educa-tional programs, leadership development, and community service.

The conference commemorated the obser-vance of 100 years of the Smith-Lever Act of 1914 and the relationship between TEEA and Extension.

The key note speaker this year was Diane Cunningham, M.Ed., of Grapevine, founder and president of the National Association of Christian Women Entrepreneurs.

Cunningham encouraged those attending to share the message – speak, teach, write and invite.

For information to have workshops pre-sented locally, contact the Springtown EEC at 817-220-7759 or email moseley67@verizon.net.

Museum will be hosting Con-nie Ellis – a Springtown native – Sept. 25.

Ellis has a rich history that connects her to many Spring-town families.

The program will feature the history of Martha Ann Gilliland Keeling, Ellis’ grandmother or “Granny” and involves the his-tory of Goshen Cemetery.

A little back storyNancy Keeling, Granny’s

mother, came to this area by ox drawn covered wagon along with 13 other families and Rev-erend Pleasant Tackett.

The reverend had taken on three orphans – the Lee chil-dren – and once the caravan camped in the area of the pres-ent Goshen community on the hill south of Hwy 199 near Ag-nes, Maggie Lee was bitten by a rattlesnake that had crawled into her bedroll.

Although the women did all they could for the girl, she died the next morning.

She is buried where she died,

becoming the first recorded death in Parker County.

Her grave is now on private property in that Goshen devel-opment and maintained by the Abandoned Cemetery Associa-tion.

The Goshen Cemetery, lo-cated on Goshen Road near Springtown, is where Reverend Tackett organized the Method-ist church for the area, and Benson Gilliland was ordained and was a circuit preacher.

Ellis said, “Wherever they preached, they were guaran-teed a crowd if they just got

their kin to show up.”Families were large back

then and Benson and Nancy had 15 children.

A large portrait of Benson and Nancy hangs in the front room of the Legends Museum to greet visitors.

They may have a stern look on their face but that just re-flects their tough pioneer spirit.

Ellis will present stories about her Granny, Goshen Cemetery, and the connection she has to so many Springtown families.

February 26. Colonel Bowie has been taken sick from overexertion and exposure. He did not leave his bed to-day un-til twelve o’clock. He is

worth a dozen common men in a situ-ation like ours. The Bee hunter keeps the whole garrison in good heart with his songs and his jests and his daring and determined spirit. He is about the quickest on the trigger, and the best rifle shot we have in the fort. I have already seen him bring down eleven of the enemy, and at such a distance that we all thought it would be a waste of ammunition to attempt it. His gun is first rate, quite equal to my Betsey, though she has not quite as many trin-kets about her.

This day a small party sallied out of the fort for wood and water, and had a slight skirmish with three times their number from the division under Gen-eral Sesma. The Bee hunter headed them, and beat the enemy off, after

killing three. On opening his Bible at night, of which he always reads a por-tion before going to rest, he found a musket ball in the middle of it. ‘See here, Colonel,’ said he, ‘how they have treated the valued present of my dear little Kate of Nacogdoches.’ ‘It has saved your life,’ said I. ‘True,’ replied he, more seriously than usual, ‘and I am not the first sinner whose life has been saved by this book.’ He prepared for bed, and before retiring he prayed, and returned thanks for his providen-tial escape; and I heard the name of Catherine mingled in his prayer.

February 27. The cannonading began early this morning, and ten bombs were thrown into the fort, but fortunately exploded without doing any mischief. So far it has been a sort of tempest in a tea-pot, not unlike a pitched battle in the Hall of Congress, where the parties array their forces, make fearful demonstrations on both sides, then fire away with loud-sound-ing speeches, which contain about as

much meaning as the report of a howitzer charged with a blank car-tridge. Provi-sions are be-coming scarce, and the enemy are endeavor-ing to cut off our water. If they attempt to stop our grog in that manner, let them look out, for we shall become

too wrathy for our shirts to hold us. We are not prepared to submit to an excise of that nature, and they’ll find it out. This discovery has created consider-able excitement in the fort.

February 28. Last night our hunters brought in some corn, and had a brush with a scout from the enemy beyond

gunshot of the fort. They put the scout to flight, and got in without injury. They bring accounts that the settlers are flying in all quarters, in dismay, leaving their possessions to the mercy of the ruthless invader, who is liter-ally engaged in a war of extermina-tion more brutal than the untutored savage of the desert could be guilt of. Slaughter is indiscriminate, sparing neither sex, age, nor condition. Build-ings have been burnt down, farms laid waste, and Santa Anna appears deter-mined to verify his threat, and convert the blooming paradise into a howling wilderness.

For just one fair crack at that rascal, even at a hundred yards’ distance, I would bargain to break my Betsey, and never pull trigger again. My name’s not Crockett if I wouldn’t get glory enough to appease my stomach for the remainder of my life. The scouts report that a settler by the name of Johnson, flying with his wife and three little children, when they reached the Colo-

rado, left his family on the shore, and waded into the river to see whether it would be safe to ford with his wagon. When about the middle of the river he was seized by an alligator, and after a struggle, was dragged under the water, and perished. The helpless woman and her babes were discovered, gazing in agony on the spot, by other fugitives, who happily passed that way, and re-lieved them.

Those who fight the battles experi-ence but a small part of the privation, suffering, and anguish that follow in the train of ruthless war. The cannon-ading continued at intervals through-out the day, and all hands were kept up to their work. The enemy, somewhat emboldened, draws nigher to the fort. So much the better. There was a move in General Sesma’s division toward evening.

Did you ever have to halve something with a sibling? Which “half” did you want? I don’t remember who came up with the

rule, but it is a good one. One person “halves” and the other person picks. That certainly has a way to keep the “halver” honest.

When I was a pastor, I got a lot of grief from church members about the length of the sermon when the Dallas Cowboys had a noon kickoff. Some of them would even mention it on the way out the door: “You do know the Cow-boys started at noon, right? I’m missing the first half.” My answer: “The first half is not what matters most; it is the second half that de-termines the outcome.” My philosophy was often reaf-firmed by those who were late to the evening service if the game was at 3:00. It’s tough being a pastor during football season.

I think that is true in life – not the pastor dur-ing football season part – the perspec-tive that the second half determines the outcome. It is not that the first half doesn’t matter. I just have passed enough mile markers to believe the second half is better.

I passed another one on September 13. That was the day that I had been a father for half my life. Favorite daugh-ter was born May 5, 1988. Favorite son followed on December 10, 1990. On September 14, 2014 I recorded: “Days I lived before becoming a fa-ther: 9628. Days I have lived since be-

coming a father: 9629. Thanks, kids, for the best (now more than) half of my life. Thanks, Mrs. Sweetie, for be-ing my best friend and partner in this journey.”

Speaking of Mrs. Sweetie, I cel-ebrated being married to her for half my life back in January, 2007. Half my life in full-time ministry was passed in July, 2013. I don’t know yet if I have lived half my life, but since doubling my current age has me knocking on the door of 106, there’s a good chance I’ve passed that one, too.

I downloaded an iPhone app awhile back that has helped me keep up with some of these dates (the one I use is D-Day). I didn’t have it in 2007 when I used pencil and paper to figure out half a lifetime of marriage. I’m not sure what the next mile marker will be, but I do know this: The second half is when it really gets good!

Ecclesiastes 7:10 says, “Don't long for ‘the good old days.’ This is not wise.”

Philippians 3:13-14 says, “Friends, don't get me wrong: By no means do I count myself an expert in all of this, but I've got my eye on the goal, where God is beckoning us on-ward – to Jesus. I'm off and running, and I'm not turning back.” The second half has kicked off and we’ve got the ball. Let’s march it down the field. It’s time to show what we’re made of.

On focusing on life’s better half

LIFE MATTERSGerry Lewis

Sometimes you really do just have to be there

ON YOURMARK

Mark K. Campbell

Today there is a genera-tion that wonders what the big deal is about the Dallas Cowboys.

They wonder: Why are my parents/grand-

parents so worked up about the guys with stars on their helmets?

This new generation has never seen the Pokes even sniff a Super Bowl.

Dallas has won just a single play-off game – in 2009 – since December 1996.

The last Cowboys Super Bowl ap-pearance came to cap the 1995 season.

So, a kid born in, say, 1997 is 17 years old and has seen nothing but mediocrity from the franchise.

What’s the big deal, Dad?Well, you kind of had to be there,

son.I’m not a Cowboys fans anymore –

rest in peace, Tom Landry – but I still listen when jogging or driving or shelf assembling.

You did have to be there in the glory days of Dallas, when the America’s Team label was fitting, when there were more Cowboys jerseys in rival stadiums than the home team’s.

That’s why it was such a shock when the 49ers came to Arlington to open this season and the stadium was filled with way more San Francisco red than Dallas blue/silver.

Maybe this generation is the one that will quit caring about the Cow-boys – perhaps that magical time in history, when you had to be there, is too distant.

There have been other times when something was simply socially gigan-tic and you did have to be there.

Looking back, it might seem dumb

now but it was a big deal then.

I was born in 1956 so I re-ally missed the hubbub about Elvis and the Beatles. And the space race was a tad be-fore my full recollection.

But I’ve been around for some things that were colossal

at one point.I remember when instant replay

became commonplace. You could actually watch a play again, almost immediately. What a miracle! It was

nothing like today, of course, with freeze frames and super slo-mo. But still we were amazed.

How incredible 8-track tapes were! You could now take music with you and listen to any song you wanted to!

Then came Monday Night Football and Saturday Night Live. Recent gen-erations shrug, but my gang stopped whatever we were doing on those nights in 1970 and 1975, respectively. It was literally Must-See TV.

A few movies also startled America. Back before multiplexes and wide re-leases, we stood in line, sometimes for hours, to see a big movie.

Jaws caused such a furor in 1975 that some people today still won’t go into the ocean 39 years later.

I waited in line longer for The Ex-orcist than any movie ever. You had to see it. The Rocky Horror Picture

Show’s rise to cult fame came around then. Younger folks watching it today shrug, but then, the midnight show-ings...wow!

Many kids wonder why parents (well, mostly dads) still get misty eyed whenever the original Star Wars tril-ogy shows. It had colossal, magical impact on millions of kids then.

In 1981, I almost missed a wedding where I was Best Man because I could not tear myself away from this incred-ible cable station, MTV. Mini-movies made from songs! Genius!

Today’s kids will have their ‘had to be there’ events: Michael Jackson, the rise of cell phones, the Rangers World Series runs, Facebook.

But ‘75 SNL, man, that was amazing!

director of Springtown’s Legends Museum.

September is Emergency Preparedness Month

With the queer in-stance of a rem-nant of a hur-ricane bearing down on Ari-zona, maybe it is

wise to take heed of September being Emergency Preparedness Month.

Knowing what to do and what to have on hand for a disaster is essential, noted the local Texas A&M AgriLife Extension office.

Statistically for North Texans, the greatest chance of an emergency will come from tornadoes, floods, or wild-fires.

Here’s a list to help you prepare an emergency plan:

• points of contact – make sure oth-ers know how to reach you and where your family will reunite

• secure food – begin with a 3-week supply and build from there

• build emergency kits – every fam-

ily member should have a “72 to 96-hour” kit that contains: basic first aid supplies; medications (allergies, pain, and other meds for specific personal ailments); flashlight and batteries; wa-ter; nonperishable foods/snacks with can opener; water bottle with a puri-fier or filter; thermal blanket; warm clothing including gloves; microfiber towels; matches; tissues; notebook and pen; contact info; phone charger; and cash in small bills.

While the governor and group of trade-with-Tex-as promot-

ers were in Japan and China last week, the 13th anniversary of the “9-11” terrorist attacks on the United States was broadly observed. Perry acknowledged the anniversary from afar and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who serves as acting governor when Perry is out of the state, also made a similar, solemn state-ment on Sept. 11.

Perry posted another state-ment in absentia, calling atten-tion to the fact that some 1,000 National Guard troops, at his request, had taken positions at observation posts along the Texas-Mexico border to deter crossings of the Rio Grande by terrorists and drug traffick-ers. Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto reacted, criticizing the deployment of National Guard to the border as a less-than-neighborly act.

Dewhurst responded to Presi-

dent Nieto’s statement, saying, in part: “I find it puzzling and frankly offensive that the government of Mexico chose the 13th anniversary of the most tragic at-tack on our home-land to call on Tex-as to throw open our international border to illegal immigra-tion, trafficking in drugs and human lives, and poten-tially even terrorists who wish to harm America.”

Rosalba Ojeda, Mexican consul general in Austin, followed with her own calm-ative statement, saying: “Mex-ico has collaborated with the U.S. to ensure that our common border becomes a prosperous and dynamic region to benefit the people that inhabit the area on both sides. Mexico, through the Consulate General of Mexi-co in Austin, Texas, recognizes the message expressed by the

Government of Texas as an in-vitation to open up a space for

coordination and dia-logue, which is most welcomed.”

Meanwhile, over the ensuing weekend, the Texas Capitol was being readied for the traditional Diez y Seis de Septiembre Mexi-can Independence Day celebration, with festivities that draw a multiethnic crowd numbering in the thousands.

Staples decries meat-less day

An editorial con-cerning “Meatless Monday” by state Agriculture Commission-er Todd Staples was published in the Austin American-States-man on Sept. 8.

“Recently,” Staples wrote, “I learned some Texas school dis-tricts, such as Dripping Springs ISD, have adopted a policy deemed ‘Meatless Mondays’ for some of their campuses.

These actions have me very concerned.

“Restricting children’s meal choice to not include meat is irresponsible and has no place in our schools. This activist movement called ‘Meatless Mondays’ is a carefully orches-trated campaign that seeks to eliminate meat from Ameri-cans’ diets seven days a week, starting with Mondays.

“For those Texans who choose not to eat meat, I say more power to you. If you want to take the personal challenge to go meatless on Mondays, go right ahead. However, we can-not force such an agenda-driv-en diet on anyone who has not chosen such a diet, especially our school children.”

In other news, Staples on Sept. 10 announced the Texas Department of Agriculture will receive $317,600 in federal funding to help growers and handlers of organic agricultural products defray the costs of obtaining organic certification. Grant funds will be available to help producers recover part

of the cost of applying for the U.S. Department of Agriculture organic certification and appli-cations are due Oct. 31.

Dewhurst speaks on TWIALt. Gov. Dewhurst on Sept.

9 spoke at a Senate Business & Commerce Committee hearing with the permission of the chair, Sen. Kevin Eltife, R-Tyler.

The Texas Windstorm Insur-ance Association (TWIA) has insured obligations that have grown from about 85,000 poli-cies representing $16 billion since January 2003, to more than 270,000 polices represent-ing almost $77 billion current-ly, Dewhurst said.

“Should Texas, God forbid, endure two targeted Category 5 hurricanes in a single year, the impact on the state budget from claims on TWIA’s $77 billion in coverage could be devastat-ing. I encourage the senators to explore ways to carefully move Texas coastal policy holders to commercial insurance carriers over time, thus avoiding a rate shock and reducing the risk of

a massive financial tsunami to Texas taxpayers,” Dewhurst added.

Sales tax revenue risesState Comptroller Susan

Combs on Sept. 10 announced state sales tax revenue in Au-gust was $2.57 billion, up 7.5 percent compared to August 2013.

Revenue gains, she said, were led by remittances from the oil and natural gas, wholesale trade and retail trade sectors. Also, fiscal year 2014 ended (on Aug. 31) with total collec-tions at $27.27 billion, up 5.5 percent over fiscal year 2013. Combs said the Office of the Comptroller will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts their September local sales tax allocations totaling $627.8 mil-lion, up 9.2 percent compared to September 2013.

Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services

director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

We have made two changes to the paper.

Did you notice we changed our front page banner Sept. 4?

Also: We have moved almost all of the reports we receive from fire and police depart-ments out of the paper.

They are still available – free and in their entirety – online.

When you log on to www.springtown-epigraph.net, a se-ries of tabs is set at the top of the web page. There’s a new one up there on the far right-hand side, Emergency Calls.

No subscription is required to access Emergency Calls.

From that tab, you can find the most recent call listing of Springtown and Reno police departments as well as fire calls by ESD1. The Lake Report will remain in the physical paper.

We made the move to free up room in the newspaper for more local stories and photographs.

The freshman Lady Porcu-pine volleyball team is on a tear in non-district play.

The Springtown ninth grad-ers (11-5) are on a winning streak.

On Sept. 12, SHS swept Al-varado 25-6, 25-18.

Karlee Eddy led with 11 as-sists and 3 kills. Mekaila Diaz served 5 aces, Lexy Burt killed 3 balls, and Hannah Downes dug out 5 rival efforts.

“We served really well all the way around,” Coach Mallory Daniel recalled.

Next, the frosh headed to Glen Rose and faced Cleburne and Rio Vista in pool play.

SHS won them both with Downes’ 9 kills tops. Eddy had 8 assists and Jordan Babcock killed 4 balls in the two match-es.

In bracket play, the young

Lady Porcupines won an “in-tense” match over China Spring in 3 sets.

“The girls stayed focused and found a way to win,” Daniel said.

Babcock had 7 kills and Eddy 9 assists while Hailee Klein (5 digs) and Kennedy Sonne (2 aces) were crucial in the win.

Next Glen Rose fell 2-1 as Eddy carded 24 assists, Bab-cock killed 9, and Sonne put down 6 balls.

A sweep of Gatesville won the Glen Rose tourney for SHS.

“We played great all the way around; this win was a team ef-fort,” Coach Daniel recalled.

Adeli Gonzales had 11 digs in the victory.

Against Dublin Sept. 17, Springtown swept behind Riley Watson’s 5 aces, 3 kills by Burt, and 4 aces from Klein.

Another meet, another chance for Springtown cross country runners to improve.

And they did just that, Coach Trent Davis said.

Impressive since SHS was the only 4A team at the meet.

In White Settlement at the Brewer Invitational Sept. 12, most runners lowered their times – some substantially.

The varsity girls finished 12th out of 18 teams, but more importantly, “every single girl ran their best time of the sea-son,” Davis recalled. In fact, some improved by more than a minute over previous outings.

Davis said, “We are on pace to qualify for regionals if we continue to improve at the rate we are.”

The varsity boys also saw each racer better previous ef-forts. Davis reiterated that if such improvement continues, the Porcupines will head to Lubbock for the Region I meet.

The JV girls saw each girl get better and the JV boys in-cluded medalist Alan Tarango whose 19 minute, 16 second trip around the 3-mile route made him the fastest Porcupine running that day.

Next up for SHS is a trip to Fort Worth for a Western Hills meet.

With two victories – one on the road and one at home – the Lady Porcupines returned to .500 for the 2014 season.

Springtown (14-14) swept at Alvarado, 25-20, 25-23, 25-11.

SHS dug out a slew of balls – 83! – with four girls reaching double digits: Mackensie Mar-tin (18), Brooklyn Dauenhauer (16), Kendyl Dean (11), and Abbi Hatton (10).

Dauenhauer was solid all the way around with 9 kills, 14 as-sists, 4 aces, and a block.

Ashton Weaver killed 11 balls and blocked one.

Sydney Farris’ 15 assists led the team.

Back home Sept. 16, Dublin fell 3-1 – 25-17, 25-12, 13-25, 25-16.

Martin starred with 26 digs as SHS collected 80 total; she also served 4 aces.

A trio of ladies blocked 2 balls each – Weaver, Hat-ton, and Dauenhauer. Brittany Strout added 1.5 blocks.

NEXT UP – The final two non-district games are at SHS versus Krum (Sept. 19) and Breckenridge (Sept. 23).

by MARK K. CAMPbeLLBefore a big Homecoming

crowd on a windy, misty eve-ning, the Porcupines pulled away from the visiting Wichita Falls Hirschi Huskies, 51-29.

Springtown (2-1) knew go-ing in that one Huskie would tote the ball often. And while Cedric Battle collected his third 300-plus yard game of the young season, the SHS defense thwarted him often.

Battle proved to be Hirs-chi’s lone weapon. Meanwhile Springtown had a slew of them.

Spreading the wealth, the Porcupine offense ate up great chunks of yardage and several SHS athletes scored and/or ripped off big plays.

While a variety of Porcupines shone, the Huskies struggled when Battle did not get the ball.

Hirschi completed zero pass-es to Huskies, but a pair to Por-cupines – Ricardo Reynoso and Fisher Drewry.

Springtown coach Brian Hu-lett said, “It was good to see us win in adverse conditions.”

Those conditions included a substantial north wind and a mist that did not stop.

The Porcupines never trailed.Sophomore quarterback Ka-

leb Chesney threw an 11-yard pass to Mateo Herrera then the

latter booted the PAT.Battle broke free as he would

do a few times, but Springtown always answered.

Dillon Springfield hauled in a Chesney pass for SHS’ second TD of the game and a 13-7 lead.

That followed a crowd-thrill-ing effort by Mykeal Cum-mings who fought his way through several would-be tack-lers and gained extra yardage on a 36-yard pass play.

At halftime, Springtown led 23-7.

When Battle ran in for the first score of the third quarter, Hirschi drew to 23-15.

But the Porcupines answered with a pair of quick touchdowns – one a 19-yard Ryan Snow run and a second when Springfield scored on a short run.

Suddenly the score was 37-15. When Battle got another TD, SHS immediately an-swered with another score from Snow.

When the whirlwind third quarter ended, 37 points had been scored, 21 by the Porcu-pines.

At least two more Battle-like runners await SHS. Vernon, the foe after the upcoming open week, has a big gainer. And 5-4A rival Kennedale has su-perstar Juwan Washington.

One prognosticator in the weekly football contest was perfect. That was Louden Strickland who went 12-0 to win $20.

Three entrants missed one game each and forced the tie-breaker of Springtown 51, Wichita Falls Hirschi 29 (80).

The $10 second place winner was Blondie Robinson with a guess of 59. Third place and $5 went to Woody Young for a pre-diction of 45.

Too far off on his guess was Johnny Pruitt at 42.

The SHS JV (3-0) bashed Wichita Falls Hirsci 35-0.Austin Bauman led the way for the Porcupines. He had a hand

in 4 of the 5 TDs. After Tyler Bragg threw a 10-yard scoring pass to Suliman Uddin, Bauman ran for TDs of 38 and 45 yards.

Then he passed 20 yards to Bryce Smith and 35 to Jabril Cum-mings for scores. Dayton Schrage kicked 5 PATs.

Coaches said linemen “took over the game on both sides of the ball allowing our skill players to flourish.”

The Movie Man dipped back – for the last time in a while, hopefully – to a movie that has been out a spell, When the Game Stands Tall.

It’s a film that fills more than one niche; it’s an inspirational movie, a sports picture, and one with a spiritual bent made, in part, by a “religious studio.”

About the film

Cinematic history is full of inspirational movies, some of them sports films.

You will seldom find a unani-mous choice when it comes to which sports movie is best.

The Movie Man would pick The Natural (1984), Rocky (1976), and Field of Dreams (1989), in that order.

Others pick among these: Hoosiers (1986, a regular top pick but a bit too corny for the Movie Man); Bull Durham (1988, overrated, the Movie Man thinks); Rudy (1993, speaking of corny); and The Blind Side (2009, Movie Man No. 852, 5)

Critically, the best sports movie is without question Rag-ing Bull (1980).

Another top sports movie is one that high school coaches have used everywhere for years to inspire teenagers, Remember the Titans (2000).

When the Game Stands Tall is a mini-Remember the Titans. Both focus on the importance of teamwork, that the group is more important than the indi-vidual.

Of course, there are other movies that fall under the inspi-rational label away from sports: Dead Poets Society (1989); Mr. Holland’s Opus (1995); Schindler’s List (1993, MM #22, 9); To Kill a Mockingbird (1962); Forrest Gump (1994, MM #33, 9, Best of Year); The Shawshank Redemption (1994); Norma Rae (1979); Apollo 13 (1995, MM #84, 8); The Elephant Man (1980); It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) – the list could be much longer.

The game stands tall, the movie not so muchAnd occasionally, a good re-

ligious movie comes along: The Ten Commandments (1956); Ben-Hur (1959); and the best ever, The Passion of the Christ (2004, MM #549, 8). Others could arrive in the near future.

Despite the “failure” of Noah (MM #1,081, 4; it made $101.2 million in America and $359.2 million worldwide) earlier this year, a biggie awaits at Christ-mas Exodus, a Hollywood blockbuster attempt to capture the affluent Christian audience.

Plus there’s a plethora of small studios popping up that are making a variety of spiritu-al-themed movies.

When the Game Stands Tall took the now-familiar route of making pitches directly to Christian groups. Large plac-ards were erected in auditorium lobbies encouraging church-es to gather groups to attend screenings by becoming “team members.”

The group sales pitch worked OK – the movie has made $23.2 million, not bad for a niche pic-ture.

Financing When the Game Stands Tall was Affirm Films whose motto is “sharing faith through films” – in movies like Soul Surfer (2011) and the de-cent Heaven Is for Real (2014, MM #1,084, 6).

One day, a really good movie will be made by an independent religious studio. (The Passion of the Christ was independent-ly made.) However, that good movie is not When the Game Stands Tall.

The plot (spoilers)

Calm natured Coach Bob Ladouceur (Jim Caviezel who played Jesus in The Passion of the Christ) leads the incred-ibly successful football team at a private high school, De La Salle in California.

So successful that the Spar-tans put together a 151-game winning streak, the all-time record. But De La Salle is not liked; they can recruit players

and that riles other schools.So Caviezel and Coach

Eidson (Michael Chiklis) de-cided to play other football powerhouses. Right off the bat, the new edition of Spartans – clearly not as close a group as earlier state championship teams – lose and the streak ends.

Then they lose again. Ca-viezel, who is recovering from the heart attack between sea-sons, sees his Biblical and ca-maraderie teachings are not taking hold on this group of Spartans.

While players squabble, Ca-viezel ponders taking a col-legiate coaching job at the en-couragement of his wife, Bev (Laura Dern). Meanwhile, he keeps lecturing the Spartans that goodness and fairness is vital, not just victories.

The team gels and makes a run for yet another champion-ship. When they have it locked up, top running back Chris (Al-exander Ludwig) can fulfill the wish of his hot-headed father Mickey (Clancy Brown) by breaking the all-time rushing touchdown record.

But Ludwig looks to the side-lines, wrestling with what to do – set the record or be kind and not run the score up on their clearly vanquished opponent.

What works

Caviezel is always good and

he is here, too. The role isn’t showy – he never raises his voice – but you believe he be-lieves the lessons he teaches his charges.

Chiklis also is good, as usual. He gets the few funny lines in the movie.

Some of the football ac-tion is decent, and it’s more potent thanks to the jacked up soundtrack that makes ev-ery collision sound like a train wrecking.

The movie, after a timid start (see What doesn’t work), picks up after the Spartans lose the big game.

Best scene

It’s brief but effective. The

team that ended the Spartans’ winning streak scores a series of TDs quickly. Far behind, Chiklis’ face falls as he realizes with astonishment, “We’re go-ing to lose.”

What doesn’t work

Some shots of Ludwig run-ning for touchdown after touch-down are almost ludicrous with No. 34 easily bowling over puny would-be tacklers.

The plot line of the players is definitely less fleshed out than the adult storyline. The sup-posedly poor relationship be-tween Caviezel and his football playing son Danny (Matthew Daddario) falls flat.

So does a thread between a couple of African-American players who must make college decisions.

Too often, the movie is very amateurish, especially early on when the clichés pile up so high that unintentional laughter is unavoidable.

The rating

When the Game Stands Tall is straight up vanilla. The only remotely iffy scene that keeps it from being a G is that Caviezel smokes. (Which leads to his heart attack.) The language is so sanitized – no teens cuss in the heat of battle (which is ad-mirable, of course) – to not be

believable.

Summing upHere’s another inoffensive

movie that high school coaches can show to help teams unify or parents can plug in and not worry about when kids gather for a DVD movie night.

TrailersThe highly anticipated In-

terstellar – the sci-fi movie helmed by Christopher Nolan (Inception, 2010, MM #886, 8, Best of Year) – has a second fantastic coming attraction.

by mark k. campbellEver wonder who decides

who’s in a drought?The National Weather Ser-

vice (NWS) gathers data from numerous sites to make spe-cific designations.

NWS “facilitates continu-ous discussion” with several agencies as well as academia and localized outlets.

All this information is com-piled in one clearinghouse, the Drought Impact Reporter which is maintained by the National Drought Mitigation Center.

Among the impacts exam-ined are agricultural issues, hydrological deficits – low lake levels – fire danger, and other social and economic consequences.

Hydrologic data comes from several sources includ-ing: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Texas Water Development Board, and lo-cal water districts like Tarrant Regional Water District and Walnut Creek Special Utility District.

The Texas A&M Forest Ser-vice monitors vegetation con-stantly to determine wildfire potential.

That state agency also keeps

track of county burn bans.

Predictions of rain and temperatures come from the Climate Pre-diction Center, part of the NWS.

Our recent droughtOfficially, the North

Texas drought began Sept. 9, 2010 after Tropi-cal Storm Hermione passed.

Since then, despite oc-casional reprieves, “the hydrological drought has steadily worsened across much of the region,” a NWS report noted.

Drought conditions are “generally worse” west of the Interstate 35 corridor.

From Fort Worth to the west, the report notes that “an extreme drought” exists, all the way to Possum Kingdom Lake which is at its lowest level in 40 years, noted the report dated Sept. 9.

Some rain fell in the area in August but region-wide North Texas was determined to be “generally dry.”

Consecutive year-to-date totals remain below average.

For the last 47 months – 3

years, 11 months – deficits reach 40 inches in some areas.

What happened to El Nino?High hopes were that an El

Nino would be the drought breaker.

Back in June “the threshold was met” in the Pacific Ocean for an El Nino.

But sea surface tempera-tures then returned to normal.

While “an El Nino event is still expected,” it won’t arrive until “the cold season” – “the

likelihood of a moderate or strong El Nino has dimin-ished considerably.”

Long range expectations from an El Nino still offer above normal amounts of rain for Texas that will ease but not thwart the current drought.

Lake levelsMany North Texas lakes are

suffering, some setting record lows.

Lake Granbury hit an all-time low June 22, breaking a mark set in August 1978. But then came a deluge that raised water level six feet in two days. However, the lake is again declining, having al-ready lost three feet again.

Lake Nocona in Montague County reached a record low Aug. 26 – and is one inch from setting another dubious new low mark. The former re-cord was set in October 2000.

Lake Ray Roberts sits at its current record deficit, more than three feet under its pre-vious lowest level from Octo-ber 2000.

Summer rains have boosted some lakes – Whitney, Lewis-ville, Bridgeport, Aquilla, and Pat Cleburne – but all remain below conservation level.

Only Lake Grapevine has survived; it is one foot above normal.

by carla noah stutsmanArea cities continue to report

sales tax revenues ranging from extreme highs to extreme lows, although statewide averages continue to climb.

Texas Comptroller Susan Combs said state sales tax rev-enue in August was $2.57 bil-lion, up 7.5 percent compared to August 2013.

“The latest monthly gains were led by remittances from the oil and natural gas, whole-sale trade, and retail trade sec-tors,” Combs said. “Fiscal year 2014 ended with total collec-tions at $27.27 billion, up 5.5 percent over the previous year. Growth in both business and consumer spending fostered the gains for the year.”

The cities of Reno and Peli-can Bay report drops in Sep-tember revenues when com-pared with September 2013 revenues.

Other cities and special pur-pose districts in the area report moderate increases.

Reno’s September sales tax revenue of $6,837 is down 16.14 percent from the $8,154 it received in September 2013. Year-to-date, the city reflects a slight downward trend, with $60,903 collected so far in 2014 compared with $62,858

collected in the first three quar-ters of 2013.

In Pelican Bay, September revenue of $1,310 is 10.81 per-cent less than September 2013 revenues of $1,468. However, the Bay manages to hold onto to a 3.02 percent increase in its year-to-date revenues, with $14,537 so far in 2014 com-pared with $14,110 after nine months in 2013.

The town of Lakeside is still riding the first-year effects of a one percent sales tax increase approved by voters last year.
