Lighting of the LettersSISD deals with student death

By NATALiE GENTRyBarely a week and a half into the

school year, Springtown High School has faced the challenging task of dis-cussing coping with the Sept. 3 death of freshman John Tafoya, age 15.

“We activated the Crisis Team imme-diately after confirming the tragic news,” said Springtown ISD Superintendent Mike Kelley.

“Recognizing the importance of shar-ing facts rather than allowing rumors to circulate, SHS Principal Scott McPherson as-sembled the fresh-man class in the auditorium shortly after lunch,” Kel-ley said.

McPherson explained that the meet-ing allowed a discussion about the loss and acted as a way to let the students know there are people they can speak with as they cope with the loss.

“The freshman class met as a group with the administration and counsel-

ing department,” he said. “The som-ber tone led to the overall decision of squashing any rumors that might be generated on social media sites.

“More importantly, keeping the family in our thoughts and prayers is essentially part of the healing process this class must go through.”

Counselors at both SHS and the middle school were then made avail-able to students and staff.

“I believe most if not all of our counselors have re-ceived ‘Trauma and Loss’ training, and we understand our role in the grieving process,” Kelley said. “Some stu-

dents will progress through this more quickly than others, and our staff will provide assistance for as long as nec-essary.

“This loss has been difficult for many of us, and our thoughts and prayers go out to the Tafoya family.”

“Our thoughts and

prayers go out to the Tafoya family.

McPherson takes high school reinsBy NATALiE GENTRy

It’s a new school year and the stu-dents at Springtown High School (SHS) have a new principal.

For Scott McPherson, accepting the position was a homecoming of sorts.

Prior to serving as principal at Forte Middle School in Azle, McPherson was the Porcupine baseball coach.

So, as principal he wants to con-tinue the tradition of ex-cellence already estab-lished.

“When the students walk through the doors of SHS each morning, they know they are cared for, they will be chal-lenged academically, and they realize the ex-pectations for excellence are representative in all areas,” McPherson said. “Not only are the stu-dents being challenged, but I feel we have chal-lenged the teachers to raise their level of teach-ing within the classroom to a new height.”

He is a hands-on ad-ministrator and makes it a point to be visible within the school.

“As a principal, I feel getting into the class-rooms is a vital compo-nent of a school admin-istrator, and seeing great teachers and great stu-dents completing great tasks, is the sole reason I accepted this job,” He said. “Springtown has had a tradition of excellence for many years, and I do not want to falter in this area, but rather strengthen it in all aspects.”

“Classroom walk-throughs are a part of my daily routine, and it is amazing how the teachers have opened their classrooms to this strategy and welcome me in their rooms,” he continued.

Another area McPherson has been encouraging is the use of technology in the classrooms.

“Teachers have accepted the chal-lenge to utilize technology more as a tool within their classroom, rather

than a luxury merely used by the stu-dents,” he said. “As we trudge forward into the 21st century, I feel it is our re-

sponsibility to prepare our kids with the skills needed to be an asset in our society.

“Technology that is to be used in the classroom should be an extension to the state’s curriculum and will not be expected to replace the guidelines we follow.”

McPherson comes to SHS just as major changes are taking place in Tex-as education as a result of the passing

of House Bill 5 (HB5) by the legislature.

“While HB5 will im-pact a number of areas in the Texas Education Code, the new law will significantly change the requirements for high school graduation, grad-uation planning and state testing requirements at all levels,” McPherson explained.

“The bill is designed to instill more flexibility in public education by enabling students to ei-ther pursue a traditional path into colleges and universities or move di-rectly into the workforce to help fill what business leaders say is a critical skills shortage.”

He added, “The stu-dents of SHS are now given opportunities to choose the path that best suits them for the future. No longer does the state utilize a cookie cutter belief limiting students in their choices. With the

governor’s approval, Texas students now need to pass five end-of-course

Springtown women arrested for cruelty when heat kills dog

By NATALiE GENTRyAnimal control officers with the

Parker County Sheriff’s Office re-ceived a call Sept. 2 about a small black and white dog chained to a pole.

The animal was without adequate water or shade.

According to the probable cause affidavit, no one answered the door when deputies knocked.

The dog – later identified as Gator – came out of his “Dogloo” but col-lapsed once he reached the full length of his chain.

Although a bowl sat near the dog, it was empty as was the mop bucket.

When the deputy checked on Ga-tor’s access to the bucket, she found the chain approximately three feet too short to reach it.

The deputy stated that the ground around the bowl was completely dry.

The officer put Gator in the air-con-ditioned truck and headed toward the Millsap Vet Clinic; however the dog died en route.

According to the affidavit, the vet examined the dog and found his tem-perature to be 110 degrees.

He reportedly concluded the cause

of the Gator’s death was heat exhaus-tion.

When the investigator on the case spoke with Gator’s two owners – At-tavia Dean Cross, 53, and her daugh-ter Kearsten Ann Henager, 22, both of Springtown – the women indicated they left their home at about 8 a.m. to take Henager’s child to a doctor’s ap-pointment.

Cross said that she had left water in the mop bucket within Gator’s reach.

She also stated that they should have probably given him a larger container of water, because the dog tended to spill his water.

Both Cross and Henager said they ran errands and paid bills after the ap-pointment then picked up their spous-es.

The family then returned home at about 4 p.m.

According to the affidavit, Cross told the investigator, “I didn’t think.”

Both women stated that they should have checked on him at some point during the day.

The women were arrested on Fri-day, Sept. 5, and charged with cruelty to non-livestock animals – torture, a state jail felony.

Just because you can’t see the effects of secondhand smoke doesn’t mean

they’re not there. Exposing your children to tobacco smoke means exposing

them to tobacco-related health issues and chronic diseases. And every

day in North Texas, our children are exposed, whether at public places like

restaurants or even in their own homes. Learn more about the long-term

These courses are English I, English II, Algebra I, U.S. His-tory, and Biology.

The state will no longer re-quire students to pass STAAR Chemistry, Physics, Geometry, World History, World Geogra-phy, Algebra II, and English II EOC tests to graduate.

“I feel this is a tremendous

blessing for the teachers of SHS as well as teachers across the state,” McPherson said.

“We are off to a tremendous start to the school year, with ac-tivities going on several nights a week that involve many stu-dents,” he said. “I’m glad to have the opportunity to come back to Springtown where my son will have a chance to grad-uate from one of the finest high schools in the state.”

Brookshire’s launches contest benefiting schools

SISD sits second in the early standingsby nataliE GEntry

The Brookshire’s chain is running a commu-nity oriented contest called the “Extrapoint Pro-gram” and the local store hopes to take home first place.

During the contest, each Brookshire’s will partner with a local high school for a chance to win a portion of the $170,000 the chain plans to donate to local high schools.

The school/town that texts their keyword to Brookshire’s number – 43101 – most often in proportion to their enrollment will win $20,000 for first place, $15,000 for second, and $10,000 for third.

Springtown’s keyword is PORCUPINES.

Local store manager Mark Baumann, encour-ages people to text that keyword every day.

The contest began Aug. 27 and will continue thru Nov. 11.

“After one week, Springtown is in second place out of the 134 participating Texas schools,” Baumann said. “We need everyone to text POR-CUPINES to 43101 to help Springtown schools win.

“I am hoping to get the town behind this pro-gram and text to win SISD that $20,000.”

Customers who text the keyword will also be entered in an instant win game and will have a chance to receive free item offers and win “your-points,” Brookshire’s’ loyalty reward program.

Area real estate highly soughtMetroplex folks moving out here in drovesby mark k. campbell

“Today is the day to sell.”That’s what Springtown real estate expert Kelly Mayo told

Springtown Optimists Sept. 9.So many people are moving into the area that: “There are not

enough sellers and too many buyers,” he said.Mayo noted that 85 percent of people moving into our area –

defined by Mayo as within the confines of the Springtown school district – come from the Metroplex.

In 2010, Mayo said that the latest census numbers show the area’s population grew 29 percent since 2000.

Countywide, the numbers soared 33 percent.That means more people coming here and more housing need-

ed.Mayo said Texas real estate did not suffer as substantially as

other states, especially California and Florida.Las Vegas, too, saw years of double digit property value in-

creases – that meant a big fall when the market shifted and the economy drooped.

Mayo said North Texas – defined as approximately Abilene to Tyler to Waco to the Red River – has historically seen more mod-est increases, around 3 percent, which meant the precipitous fall was avoided.

“Texas held on during the recession,” Mayo said. “We saw some dramatic drops but not in property values.

“Since the end of 2011 to today, we have been on an incline.”

He said new home sales, real estate, and car sales are indicative of an area’s economic health and locally things are good.

Building and impact fees make constructing new homes inside city limits more expensive, so most newcomers are choosing to live in the surrounding areas.

“What people want is an acre of land and a house,” Mayo said.In the area right now, such sites are averaging around $145,000-

$150,000.Mayo added that those numbers are skewed up somewhat by

more expensive houses in the Aledo and Brock area.He said he expects to see no interest rate increases of substance

until the end of 2015 at least.The average time a house stays on the market nationally is six

months; in North Texas that time is just four months – and some-times much less.

Mayo added that Keller is especially hot, that sometimes an owner will get multiple offers on the first day a house is placed on the market.

Around here, just like the rest of North Texas, construction is hopping, Mayo said.

“There’s lots of building all around,” he said, adding that mate-rial and manpower costs – wood, cement, workers – are rising because of the great demand.

Mayo said if someone had a 3-bedroom, 2-bath, 2,000-2,500-square-foot house on some land for sale, “We wouldn’t be able to keep it.”

The Epigraph remains one of Texas’ top papers

Springtown’s newspaper is all about Springtown!The staff of the Epigraph exists for one

reason – the people of Springtown.An annual winner of multiple awards

at several journalism contests judged by its peers, the Epigraph’s dedicated staff is determined to bring readers total coverage of every nook and cranny of Springtown.

After all, we’re documenting the history of a small Texas town, an honor that isn’t taken lightly.

We jam the Epigraph full of stories and photography on school issues as well as pieces on budgets, crime, accidents, fires, residential development, the local economy, and a host of other things that are newsworthy to Springtown folk.

And receiving the newspaper in the mail or buying one at a business isn’t the only way to keep up with town goings-on.

The paper has a booming Twitter audience – @SpringtownEpi – as well as an invigorating Facebook presence and a popular web site.

Reporters regularly Tweet up-to-the minute information on breaking stories in town.

Clearly, Springtown is far from “a sleepy Texas town” – the Epigraph proves

that weekly!The paper covers it all: from the

gridiron to the council chambers.Oh, other news organizations pop into

Springtown when something big arises. But the Epigraph is always here – week in and week out – chronicling the pulse of our community.

In the paper you’ll find youth achievements, updates on service organizations, local men and women in military, anniversaries, weddings, and school activities.

Not to mention special sections like the Wild West Festival, graduation, and the popular Letters to Santa.

Plus there are columns and stories written by award-winning local authors who address vital city, state, and national interests – and some perhaps not so urgent – often with a unique sense of Lone Star humor.

Epigraph photographs have won accolades for years on end.

Reporters live and shop here and have a vested interest in Springtown.

The Epigraph is an exceptional paper, and there’s a reason for that: It serves a great community.

Texas legends: by Natalie GeNtry

From a stagecoach, to gun-fights, to the music of the era, the events and entertainment of the 30th annual Springtown Wild West Festival are aimed at providing the community a taste of the Wild West.

And what’s more iconic of the West than Texas longhorn cattle?

From their introduction to the state in the early 1700’s to the

epic cattle drives of the 1800’s, longhorns have been a symbol of the state and its colorful his-tory.

This year, festival goers will have the chance to meet, sit on, and take a picture with a bona fide longhorn courtesy of Ward Welding and West Air.

According to the Lonesome Longhorns website, all of the an-imals are drug free and are fully aware of their surroundings.

The companies carry full li-ability insurance and are feder-ally licensed by the USDA.

The animals from Lonesome Longhorns have been featured on the The Tonight Show with Jay Leno, The View, and the CBS Morning Show.

The $5 charge for the expe-rience goes to the Tabernacle restoration fund, and everyone will need to bring their own camera.

Photo-ops with longhorns set for Wild West Festival

Norman is one of five trained texas longhorns that visit events year round – one or two of the animals will be at the Wild West Festival Sept. 20 for photos. Photo courtesy of Lonesome Longhorns

Jessica Michele Massey of Springtown, was born Feb. 26, 1971 in Sea Level, North Carolina.

Jessica lived a life that was not free from affliction and struggles, but she lived a life of love. Jessica loved with a pure heart, never seeing color, class, social status, or past mistakes made in a person’s life. Jessica loved like Jesus loved.

Jessica saw glimpses of Heaven during her last days and spoke of seeing her

grandmother, two aunts, and a loving nurse, who had all gone before her. She spoke of meeting Jesus, who she said, had told her that He was waiting for her. She also spoke of getting new dancing shoes in Heaven. She passed from this life just as she lived her life, with a smile on her face, surrounded by people who love her.

Jessica’s family would like to express thanks to the Neuro ICU staff, the Respiratory staff, and the Palliative Care team at Harris Methodist Hospital in Ft. Worth, TX, for all the love and support you have given Jessica and her family. The family wishes for everyone to remember Jessica for her beautiful smile, the love that she brought to your life, and for you to think of her in her glorified Heavenly body, free from pain, walking, talking, and yes even dancing with Jesus! “We will see you again, our beautiful girl. Until then, you will live on in our hearts and minds forever.”

She is preceded in death by her grandparents, James Massey, Molly Massey, William Brittingham and Arlene Brittingham.

Survivors include her parents, Jesse and Billie Massey; sisters, Donna Massey Aliyetti and husband John, Sue Massey Scott, Allycia Massey English, and husband Nathan; her brother Kevin Massey; and a multitude of family and friends who were inspired by her life.

Mrs. Billie Ruth Long Bell peacefully passed away on Sept. 7, 2014, as son, Willis Bell, comforted her at her bedside. Her spirit ascended into the heavens to be greeted by her Heavenly Father, family, friends, and former students who preceded her in that journey. One month and one day from her 90th birthday, she was proud that she had lived longer than others in her family (at the time of her passing).

Graveside services will be held at 10 a.m. on Friday, September 12, 2014 in Weatherford’s East Greenwood Cemetery, with White’s Funeral Home, Weatherford in charge of arrangements. Visitation will be Thursday evening from 6 - 8 p.m. at White’s Funeral Home, 130 Houston Ave., Weatherford.

In lieu of flowers, memorials and remembrances may be made, in her name, to the Parker County Historical Commission, 216 Fort Worth Highway, Weatherford, Texas 76086.

Mrs. Bell came into this world on Oct. 8, 1924 as Billie Ruth Long, first-born of the late Stephen Willis and Sarah Ruth Simpson Long, in Parker County. She was later followed by sisters, Mary Linda, Ella Sue, Louise, and brother, Stephen (Steve) Willis Long, Jr. Growing up in those times meant frugality was necessary, to not dispose of something which might

have some later use. She was an accomplished artist (with oil paint), photographer, and respected educator. Mrs. Bell took pride in being a self-reliant woman, especially in her later years.

On May 29, 1947, Miss Long became the wife of M. W. “Pos” Bell in a double ceremony as her sister Linda became the wife of Thomas Giles Thompson of Abilene. After going to school summers and extension courses at night, M. W. and Billie Ruth received their B.S. and M.S. degrees, respectively, at summer graduation exercises at North Texas State University in 1950. Mr. and Mrs. Bell enjoyed long and productive teaching careers in Parker County, spanning four decades.

Mrs. Bell began her teaching career in Azle (1945-46), continuing to Weatherford Independent School District at T. W. Stanley Elementary School (1946-1948), Millsap schools (1948-1951), and the Springtown Independent School District from 1952 until her retirement. Mrs. Bell, along with her late husband, M. W. “Pos” Bell, were highly-regarded and respected by their fellow teachers and their students.

One of Mrs. Bell’s many involvements was as the sponsor of the Springtown High School yearbook, “The Quill”. She worked many long hours to ensure her students produced a top-quality publication, first in black-and-white, later in color, and expanding to include the entire school system. She later used this experience to the benefit of the Parker County Historical Commission, of which she was a member for many years, in the production of “History of Parker County”. In addition to “The Quill”, Mrs. Bell taught English and Latin (for a few years when it was offered at Springtown). In 1992, Mr. and Mrs. Bell moved into a refurbished home on the Bell Family Farm in Brock.

With ties to the Parker County

Geneological Society and the Parker County Historical Commission, she was highly-involved in the first restoration project of the current Parker County Courthouse. She worked with many long-time friends to ensure the historical aspects of that restoration met all state-mandated criteria for the necessary Texas state grant money to be awarded for the project, working with several courthouse restoration specialists from Texas Tech University. She was very proud of the results.

In Nov., 2013, Mrs. Bell received a “Member Emeritus” award from the Parker County Historical Commission for her long years of work, contributions, and membership in the group. Many others who had become somewhat inactive, in more recent times, also received similar awards. She was very proud of this recognition.

Mrs. Bell’s other involvements included The Order of the Eastern Star (following in her mother’s footsteps) and Parker County Retired Teachers. She will be greatly missed by many people whose lives she positively impacted as students or otherwise. She was always proud when a former student shared their accomplishments with her, crediting her and her husband for helping them achieve their life goals. Although retired from the Springtown Schools for quite some time, she still cared about what went on in Springtown and her old friends out there.

She was pre-deceased by her parents; sister, Louise Beadle; and husband, M. W. “Pos” Bell.

Survivors include sisters, Linda Thompson (Abilene), Sue Richmond (Pecos); brother, Steve Long (Granbury); and son, Willis Bell (Weatherford); Additionally, many nieces, nephews, and an extended family of former students and co-workers.

James “Cannonball” Lawrence1941-2014

James “Cannonball” Lawrence, 73, beloved husband, father, brother, grandfather, great-grandfather and friend, passed away Sunday, Sept. 7, 2014, in Fort Worth.

Celebration of life will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday in the chapel of White’s Funeral Home, 105 Denver Trail, Azle.

In lieu of usual remembrances, the Lawrence family suggests contributions in James’s memory to American Heart Association, P.O. Box 840692, Dallas, Texas 75284 or National Kidney Foundation, 30 East 33rd St., New York, NY 10016.

James Howard Lawrence was born Jan. 27, 1941, in Monticello, Arkansa, son of the late Edwin T. and Mary Kate Smith Lawrence. “Cannonball”, for 50 years, made his career as a master electrician and was a member of IBEW Local Union 116.

James was preceded in death by his parents.

Survivors include wife of 55 years, Rosetta Lawrence of Azle; children, Jerry Lawrence and wife, Paula, Jenee Blackwell and husband, Robert, John Lawrence and wife, Kelly, Jeff Lawrence and wife, Mollie, James L. Lawrence and wife, Helen; brothers, Charles Lawrence and Terry Weddle; sisters, Sandra Coleman and Kathy Turner and husband, Ronnie; cousin, Robert Tanner; 20 grandchildren; 10 great-grandchildren; and extended family and friends.


Texas A&M AgriLife Exten-sion Service in Parker County along with coalition of local partners will conduct a Friend-to-Friend Party to help women have a better understanding of breast and cervical cancer and the best way to prevent these cancers.

The party will take place at 6 p.m. on Tuesday Sept. 30 at the Springtown Senior Citizens Center, located at 1070 North Main Street in Springtown.

A presentation on breast and cervical cancers will be given by medical professionals, and there will be a discussion of the obstacles women may encoun-ter when trying to access mam-mograms and Pap tests locally.

Participants will also have an opportunity to visit with exhib-itors that conduct these screen-ings and the exhibitors will have staff members available to make screening appointments.

Additionally, information will be available on how those

who qualify can access finan-cial assistance if the cost of the screening prevents them from getting a screening.

Cervical cancer is the easiest female cancer to prevent with a Pap test.

It is one of the most reliable and effective cancer screening tests available.

With a Pap test, the doctor is looking for any cell changes on the cervix that might become cervical cancer if they are not treated appropriately.

So, who should be screened and when should they be screened?

According to the American Cancer Society’s guidelines, women between ages 21 and 29 should have a Pap test ev-ery three years. The doctor may also suggest a HPV test if there are abnormal Pap test results.

For women between the ages of 30 and 65, it is preferred that they have a Pap test plus an HPV test every five years, but

it is also okay to have a Pap test alone every three years.

If a woman is over 65 years and has had regular cervical cancer testing with normal re-sults, she should not be tested for cervical cancer.

However, women with his-tory of a serious cervical pre-cancer should continue to be tested for at least 20 years after that diagnosis, even if testing continues past age 65.

If a woman’s uterus and cer-vix were removed for reasons not related to cervical cancer and she does not have a history of cervical cancer or serious pre-cancer, she also should not be tested. Women with a his-tory of serious pre-cancer will need to visit with their doctor about their screening needs.

Participants who pre-register will have their name placed in a drawing for a $50 gift card.

For more information, call Parker County AgriLife Exten-sion at 817-598-6168.

Proposition Number 1 (SJR 1)

SJR 1 would authorize the trans-fer of certain money from the general revenue fund to the state highway fund and the economic stabilization fund. Money trans-ferred to the state highway fund may be used solely for the con-struction, maintenance and acqui-sition of rights-of-way for public roadways.

The proposed amendment will

appear on the ballot as follows: “The constitutional amendment providing for the use and dedica-tion of certain money transferred to the state highway fund to assist in the completion of transporta-tion construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation projects, not to include toll roads.”

EditorMark K. Campbell

Continuing on February 23:

“The enemy marched into Bexar, and took possession of the town, a blood-red flag flying

at their head, to indicate that we need not expect quarters if we should fall into their clutches. In the afternoon a messenger was sent from the enemy to Colonel Travis, demanding an un-conditional and absolute surrender of the garrison, threatening to put every man to the sword in case of refusal. The only answer he received was a cannon shot, so the messenger left us with a flea in his ear, and the Mexicans commenced firing grenades at us, but without doing any mischief.

“At night Colonel Travis sent an ex-press to Colonel Fanning, at Goliad, about three or four days’ march from this place, to let him know that we are besieged. The old pirate volunteered

to go on this expedition, and accord-ingly left the fort after nightfall.

“February 24. Very early this morn-ing the enemy commenced a new bat-tery on the banks of the river, about three hundred and fifty yards from the fort, and by afternoon they amused themselves by firing at us from that quarter. Our Indian scout came in this evening, and with him a reinforce-ment of thirty men from Gonzales, who are just in the nick of time to reap a harvest of glory; but there is some prospect of sweating blood before we gather it in.

“An accident happened to my friend Thimblerig this afternoon. He was in-tent on his eternal game of thimbles in a somewhat exposed position, while the enemy were bombarding us from the new redoubt. A three-ounce ball glanced from the parapet and struck him on the breast, inflicting a painful, but not dangerous wound. I extracted

the ball, which was of lead, and recom-mended to him to drill a hole through it, and carry it for a watch seal. ‘No,’ he replied with energy, ‘may I be shot six times if I do: that would be making a bauble for an idle boast. No,

Colonel, lead is getting scarce, and I’ll lend it out at compound interest. Curse the thimbles!’ he muttered, and went his way, and I saw no more of him that evening.

“February 25. The firing com-menced early this morning, but the

Mexicans are poor engineers, for we haven’t lost a single man, and our out-works have sustained no injury. Our sharpshooters have brought down a considerable number of stragglers at a long shot. I got up before the peep of day, hearing an occasional discharge of a rifle just over the place where I was sleeping, and I was somewhat amazed to see Thimblerig mounted alone on the battlement, no one being on duty at the time but the sentries. ‘What are you doing there?’ says I. “Paying my debts,’ says he, ‘interest and all.’ ‘And how do you make out?’ says I. ‘I’ve nearly got through,’ says he; ‘stop a moment, Colonel, and I’ll close the account.’ He clapped his rifle to his shoulder, and blazed away, then jumped down from his perch, and said, ‘That account’s settled; them chaps will let me play out my game in quiet next time.’ I looked over the wall, and saw four Mexicans lying dead on the

plain. I asked him to explain what he meant by paying his debts, and he told me that he had run the grape shot into four rifle balls, and that he had taken an early stand to have a chance of picking off stragglers.

“‘Now, Colonel, let’s go take our bitters,’ said he; – and so we did. The enemy have been busy during the night, and have thrown up to batter-ies on the opposite side of the river. The battalion of Matamoras is posted there, and cavalry occupy the hills to the east and on the road to Gonzales. They are determined to surround us, and cut us off from reinforcement, or the possibility of escape by a sortie. Well, there’s one thing they cannot prevent; we’ll still go ahead, and sell our lives at a high price.”

Autocorrect gone wild: The Lawyer and the Geisha

LIFE MATTERSGerry Lewis

If you use a smartphone, it has probably happened to you: that moment when autocorrect takes over and inserts a word that makes you say, “Where the heck

did that come from?” A few months ago, Mrs.

Sweetie was sending a text message to my brother. The subject was our neph-ew and the word she was typing was “hero.” Her phone decided to make it “heterosexual.” The fact that our nephew is het-erosexual would not have been a revelation to his fa-ther, but we were glad she caught it before she sent it.

Her phone also refused to recognize my name. Gerry becomes “Ferry” or “gerrymandering.” If these smartphones are so dadgum smart, how can it not figure out that the most common name she will be typing is that of her amazingly handsome and humble husband? (Hey! Maybe that’s my new nickname: “Triple H”…or not)

This weekend I responded to fa-vorite daughter’s Facebook tag and listed my top 10 influential books I have read. This is what I thought I typed: “2. The Firm (John Grisham) – first Grisham book I read that got me hooked on legal thrillers.” About an hour later, Mrs. Sweetie was perusing Facebook and told me what I actually typed and posted: “The Firm (John Grisham) – first geisha book I read that got me hooked on legal thrillers.”

Seriously? Geisha? Either no one else had yet noticed or they were be-ing kind, but I couldn’t let that go. So, I commented: “Wish I had noticed that

autocorrect changed Grisham to gei-sha. Gives a whole different impres-sion of the legal thriller genre.” That comment got as many “likes” as the

original post.So, as I was thinking

(and chuckling) over that this morning, I started pondering. And my long-time readers know what happens when I start pon-dering…wait for it…yes! There is a life lesson here!

What if life had auto-correct? Bear with me for a moment. You bump into someone that you recog-nize, but you can’t remem-ber his name. Let’s see, I know it begins with a B. Good morning, B…arry!

Or you lose your train of thought…Recalculating…back on track! Or you lose your temper with your husband and are about to call him the most idi-otic…autocorrect…intensely lovable man on the planet.

But maybe there is an even better way. “Don't copy the behavior and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God's will for you, which is good and pleasing and per-fect.” (Romans 12:2).

Autocorrect can go wild and give you a geisha. God-correct never leads us astray, because our lives matter so much to Him that He doesn’t just cor-rect our thoughts; He changes us and the way we think.

That, my friends, is a genuine thriller.

Tons of pain in the 5 stages of drought grief

ON YOURMARK

Mark K. Campbell Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and it rained 4.24 inches in 50 minutes.

The clouds gathered last Saturday, staging west like a gathering army anxious to advance.

You got 15 minutes, Captain Thunderhead

said.So I continued walking the highway,

looking for a cell phone that I had left on the truck roof. (Never do that.)

Finally, phone-less, the Bride picked me up on our dirt road that I had hours earlier back-breakingly shoveled three tons of rocks out of the bed of two pickups onto to help soon-to-arrive partygoers reach the house easier.

I didn’t necessarily believe Captain

Thunderhead. After all, rain always seemed to swing north or south of us, leaving us, well, high and dry on our little Parker County hill.

Not this time.The angry hordes from the west

charged. Rain began to fall. And fall.And fall.The digital rain gauge, dormant for

weeks, budged then bolted. It moved to a quarter inch then one-half quickly.

Soon, it was whirling like the meter registering Rod Taylor heading back to the prehistoric era in The Time Machine.

We were directly beneath “one of those cells that if you’re right below, you can get a lot of rain,” as the TV

weather people say in gross un-derstatement.

Initially, the rain was won-derful as the drought was taking a de-served whup-pin’.

S o o n , though, the constant down-pour forced a change of mind. This clearly was

way too much rain too quickly.Two inches, three inches – all within

30 minutes. And still raining. The five stages of drought grief set in:

1. Denial – “There’s no way this can keep up” as neighboring pastures filled then rushed through their mea-ger barbed wire enclosures.

2. Anger – “This stupid idiot rain!” as water overwhelmed the house gut-ters and threatened entering the house.

3. Bargaining – “OK, Captain Thun-derhead, you win; I’ll stop whining about the drought” as the digital gauge zipped past 4 inches in 40 minutes.

4. Depression – “I’m scared to see what this is doing to our road” as the

rampaging water overwhelmed our culverts from every direction.

5. Acceptance – “Well, I can get a good workout for the next few days” as an examination revealed that most of our dirt/rock road – several tons – was now partially covering Highway 51 three-tenths of a mile below.

Hundreds of dollars of road repair material was now piled high – six inches deep in some places – far from its original home.

I scooped up the shovel and headed down the mucky hill.

GET TO A BETTER STATE®. CALL ME TODAY

U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel on Aug. 29 struck down two provisions in House Bill 2,

legislation passed by the Texas Legislature in the second spe-cial session of 2013, amend-ing the state Health and Safety Code to restrict access to abor-tion services.

Yeakel wrote, “A state’s leg-islature cannot purport to act to abrogate the rights guaranteed by the United States Constitu-tion,” and concluded the fol-lowing provisions in the law put an unconstitutional burden on women:

• That a physician perform-ing or inducing an abortion must, on the date the abortion is performed or induced, have active admitting privileges at a hospital that is located not fur-ther than 30 miles from the lo-cation at which the abortion is performed or induced.

• That the minimum stan-

dards for an abortion facility must be equivalent to the mini-mum standards adopted for am-bulatory surgical centers.

Also, Yeakel wrote, the two provisions would act together “to create a scheme that effects the closing of almost all abor-tion clinics in Texas that were operating legally in the fall of 2013” and thus, “the overall ef-fect . . . is to create an imper-missible obstacle as applied to all women seeking a pre-viabil-ity abortion.”

The case was brought by re-gional abortion providers in this state who joined together as plaintiffs, seeking to pre-vent those two provisions of the amended law from taking effect on Sept. 1. The group sued Texas Department of State Health Services Commissioner David Lakey, M.D., and Mari Robinson, executive director of the Texas Medical Board, in their official state capacities.

Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott said he would file an ap-

peal on behalf of the state. The U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Ap-peals in New Orleans is the appellate court.

Abbott, Davis to square off

Less than two months remain until the Nov. 4 statewide election in which Texans will pick Gov. Rick Perry’s successor. Repub-lican Greg Abbott and state Sen. Wendy Davis, a Democrat, were about eight points apart, with Abbott at 48 points to Davis’s 40, in an early August Rasmussen Reports poll. The Rasmussen poll also showed nine percent of respon-dents as undecided and three percent supporting candidates other than Abbott or Davis.

Dallas public television and radio station KERA on Sept. 4 announced it will host a one-

hour live debate be-tween Abbott and Davis beginning at 8 p.m. on Sept. 30. The debate will be broad-cast on television, ra-dio and online.

No plans have been publicized for more debates be-tween the two front-running candidates.

Perry renews proc-lamation

Gov. Rick Perry on Aug. 29 renewed for the month of September his July

2011 emergency disaster proc-lamation that certifies excep-tional drought conditions pose a threat of imminent disaster in 107 specified counties in Texas.

Rules and regulations that may inhibit or prevent prompt response to the threat are sus-pended for the duration of the state of disaster, according to the proclamation.

Financial ratings now avail-able

Texas Education Agency on Sept. 5 announced the release of financial accountability rat-ings for more than 1,205 school districts and 202 charters across the state. The 2013-2014 rat-ings are based on annual finan-cial reports provided to TEA by districts and charters from the 2012-2013 school year.

Based on the submitted in-formation, one of four finan-cial management ratings is assigned: Superior, Above Standard, Standard or Substan-dard. For 2013-2014, approxi-mately 95 percent of Texas school districts passed with a rating of Standard or above, the education agency said.

Ratings are based on 20 es-tablished financial indicators, such as operating expendi-tures for instruction, tax col-lection rates, student-teacher ratios, and long-term debt. Each school district and char-ter is required to hold a public

hearing regarding its financial report.

Most-ever property returnedState Comptroller Susan

Combs on Sept. 4 announced the return of more than $205 million in unclaimed property to rightful owners in fiscal year 2014-2015, which ended Aug. 31.

This set a record, she said, as the previous high water mark for unclaimed property returned by the agency was $177.6 mil-lion in fiscal 2013.

Combs said the returned property included forgotten utility deposits or other re-funds, insurance proceeds, pay-roll checks, cashier’s checks, dividends, mineral royalties, dormant bank accounts and abandoned safe deposit box contents.

As the Regional Director for this program, I have helped local coordinators find the host fami-lies and helped them select a student who best fits their fam-ily. Local coordinators and our regional office staff will super-

There are now several out-standing candidates awaiting host families for the spring se-mester. If anyone has thought about hosting, now is an excel-lent time to start. Please contact me as soon as possible. This is a great opportunity to SHARE! your heart and home with the rest of the world.

My thanks to the host fam-ily, their teachers and high school, and the members of the community for extending such a warm welcome to this exchange student who has cho-sen to travel thousands of miles away from family and friends to learn about our unique American culture.

The student will always re-member the welcome that they received from the people in Springtown.

SPORTS 13ALiberty Christian pops Springtown, 54-20WF Hirschi arrives for Homecoming Friday

by Mark k. caMpbellDespite a seemingly lopsided

score, good things did come out of the Porcupines 54-20 loss at Argyle Liberty Christian.

For one thing, coach Brian Hulett noted, the offensive and defensive lines shone.

“We did a good job at the line of scrimmage,” the coach said.

Hulett also lauded the overall effort of his squad.

“I feel we played harder than we did in the first game,” he said. “We consistently had bet-ter effort which is a sign we are in better condition.”

The game was close early.After Liberty Christian

scored, Springtown (1-1) an-swered quickly.

In just four plays, SHS had reached the end zone, the final 8 coming when Kaleb Chesney threw to Dillon Springfield.

After Mateo Herrera kicked the extra point, the Porcupines led 7-6.

But then things went south for Springtown.

Liberty Christian scored the

next 48 points before a couple of late SHS scores capped the evening.

The Warriors beat the Porcu-pines for the third year in a row.

Springtown “just missed out on making several big plays,” Hulett said.

The problem was LCS’ pace, the coach said.

“Liberty is a quality team that forces you to play at a higher level, at a faster speed,” Hu-

lett said. “We were ultimately unable to match their speed of play.”

Four turnovers – three inter-ceptions and a fumble – fueled the Warriors spurt.

Those final two SHS TDs were scored by Springfield on a QB keeper and on a 26-yard run by Ryan Snow.

For the game, Springtown was led by Springfield who ran for 105 yards and caught 3 passes for 59 more.

Snow rumbled for 81 yards and Chesney added 78 as the Porcupines finished with a sol-id 273 yards rushing.

Jared Green snagged a pair of aerials for 47 yards.

Defensively, Fisher Drewry paced Springtown with 4 solo tackles and 5 overall.

Hulett said he wants to see his charges show “more resolve in adverse situations. [We] will look for kids who are willing to step up to that challenge and make plays in the future when our team needs someone to do this.”

Next upWF HIRSCHI

As usual, the Huskies are expected to be “fast and ath-letic,” SHS coach Brian Hulett noted. Hirschi won its opener

over Bowie 40-28 then got drilled by Grandview 56-27

last week.For Springtown to win, Hulett

said, “We must play hard, as a team, for all four full

quarters.”

Kudos to Woody Young.He predicted every game

right in last week’s football contest, claiming the $20 first place check.

No fewer than seven prog-nosticators missed two games apiece.

So the tie-breaker of San Francisco 28, Dallas 17 (45) determined winners.

With a tie-breaker guess of 51, Ed Crowdis grabbed the $10 second place money.

Third place and $5 went to Johnny Pruitt for his predic-tion of 52.

Too far off were Paul Ray-field (37), Margaret Swanzy (58), James Franklin (31), Eddy Swanzy (62), and Clyde Bradshaw (63).

The majority of cards missed these four games – Springtown falling to Argyle Liberty Chris-tian; Decatur bashing Alvara-do; Texas losing to Brigham Young; and the Cowboys tum-bling to the 49ers.

This week’s tie-breaker is Springtown’s Homecoming.

The ultra-successful Spring-town High School volleyball teams of the past may have moved on, but this year’s batch of Lady Porcupines is getting ready for another run at a dis-trict title.

First, however, there’s a very tough non-district slate to battle through.

Most recently, that included clashes with potent Sanger and Brock – the latter the No. 1 team in 3A in Texas.

Springtown (12-14) lost both matches 0-3.

However, Coach Leighann Strickland said she saw strong positives in the first two games against mighty Brock.

In 23-25, 21-25 losses, the coach noted, “We touched and blocked more balls than we have been which helped our defense be in better position to play the ball.”

Springtown put some balls down. Brooklyn Dauenhauer

killed 12 and Ashton Weaver added 9 winners.

Sydney Farris and Dauen-hauer split assists honors with 11 each.

Mackensie Martin shone de-fensively with 19 digs. Kendyl Dean dug out 8.

Gabby Terry blocked 2 balls while Abbi Hatton and Weaver both were credited with 1.5 blocks.

Strickland wants to see more out of the Lady Porcupines: “We have to compete harder to win tight games. We have the ability; we need to believe in that ability.”

In an 0-3 loss at Sanger Sept. 5, Dauenhauer led with 10 kills, Martin with 11 digs, and Kelly Boyett with 1 block.

SUBVARSITIES – Sanger and Brock proved stout oppo-nents for the SHS JV and frosh teams, too.

The JV (3-5) lost both matches.

Against Sanger, Kaytie An-drews served 5 aces.

Jill Ray (11 assists/3 aces) Karrah Cooper (12 digs), and Raynce Henderson (6 kills) stood out, coach Hannah Ad-ams noted.

In an 0-2 loss to Brock, Coo-per’s 6 digs was tops as were Henderson’s 4 assists and Jor-dan Babcock’s 2 kills.

The 9th (6-5) has been busy.SHS beat Chisholm Trail

Sept. 2 2-0 as Hannah Downes had 10 digs and 3 girls served 4 aces each: Mekaila Diaz, Lexy Burt, and Karlee Eddy.

After sweeping Sanger – Babcock had 8 kills, 5 aces, and a block – the young Lady Porcupines played in a Ch-isholm Trail tourney going 1-2 in bracket play.

The win was 21-25, 25-13, 15-12 over Boswell; Haylee Kline served 7 aces.

Brock next topped SHS; Kennedy Sonne blocked a ball.

JV, 9th split with Liberty Christian

The junior varsity won a thriller over Argyle Liberty Christian, but the freshman Porcupines tumbled.

The JV (2-0) rallied for a 21-20 victory.

Springtown led 7-0 after one period when Austin Bauman threw a 7-yard pass to Suliman Uddin and Dayton Schrage kicked the PAT.

Liberty drew to within 7-6 by halftime.

But SHS surged ahead when Bauman ran 5 yards to paydirt and Schrage kicked true gain.

However, a pair of LCS an-swering scores put the Por-cupines behind 20-14 in the fourth quarter.

Then came the rally, capped by a Bauman 12-yard run and the winning extra point booted

by Schrage.Coaches noted, “The JV did

a great job of making plays late in the game.”

The 9th (0-2) tumbled 44-8 to the Warriors.

Coach Stryker Strickland said not having starting quar-terback/running back/defensive leader Logan Jones “has been tough for the group.”

Receiver Lane Hill was in-strumental in SHS’ only points.

He caught a pass on a fourth-and-short then a play later grabbed a TD pass.

Other standouts included re-ceiver Ethan Adams and runner Pryce Morgan.

NEXT UP – The JV will face Wichita Falls Hirschi while the freshman Porcupines see Sagi-naw Chisholm Trail.

Springtown’s cross country squads packed up and compet-ed in Keller.

New coach Trent Davis said he liked what he saw in the teams’ second outing.

“As a group, we ran stron-ger,” he said. “We were able to

compete better.”Davis said SHS’ units, with

many inexperienced runners, are aiming to lower times weekly.

A race at Brewer looms and the coach said he expects to see even more improvement: “We had a really good week of train-

ing, so I’m excited to see our times at Brewer.”

Davis said both squads “are in the hunt” to reach an elite route for cross country runners – regional at Lubbock’s Mae Simmons Park. “That’s excit-ing and encouraging.”

The Hundred-Foot Journey

BlandStarring: Helen Mirren, Om Puri, Manish Dayal, Charlotte Le BonDirected by: Lasse HallstromRated PG: mild language

... on a scale of 1-106

Thursday, September 11, 2014Movie Man14A

With rare exceptions, women as they age don’t get primo, meaty roles.

Age is much less often an is-sue for men actors than women.

About the filmThree female actors seem

immune to the cinematic “glass ceiling” – Judi Dench, Meryl Streep, and Helen Mirren.

Dench, 79, continues to im-press; looking back, her ca-reer is laden with every sort of award.

She appears in art house movies like last year’s Philo-mena (2013, Movie Man No. 1073, 7) and blockbusters like the 2012 James Bond thriller Skyfall (MM # 1008, 8).

You can find the Movie Man parked in front of the TV every Sunday night when PBS runs As Time Goes By.

No one is hotter than Streep, 65, the greatest female actor ever. A preview before this week’s The Hundred-Foot Walk featured her in a Christmastime release, the popular musical Into the Woods.

Streep has been Oscar-nomi-nated a stunning 18 times, win-ning three – as Best Support-ing Actress (1979, Kramer vs. Kramer) and as Best Actress (1982, Sophie’s Choice and 2011, The Iron Lady).

The Movie Man holds her in high regard for her effervescent part in the wonderful Albert Brooks’ Defending Your Life (1991; the Movie Man only owns about 10 movies and this is one of them).

Then there’s Mirren who, at 69, continues to shine. Initially a wild child and uninhibited actress – as a Google search will prove – she, like Dench, has a history performing in any realm, serious or comedic, stage or screen: stage (a variety of Shakespearian plays), mov-ies big and small, (she won an Oscar for 2005’s The Queen), and TV (Prime Suspect).

The Movie Man really liked Mirren recently in 2012’s

Food movie light on weight, heavier on cornHitchcock (MM #1,012, 7).

To a lesser degree than this trio of women, others have survived the “young woman’s game” of Hollywood.

Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, 53, has never been hotter, primarily as a TV actress, however. A case can be made for Susan Saran-don, still working in her 67th year. Julianne Moore (53), too, is still active along with Glenn Close (67) and Kathy Bates (66).

Jodie Foster, 51, has morphed into a hyphenate – actor-direc-tor-producer which will make her someone with clout as long as she wants. She owns two Best Actress Oscars for The Ac-cused (1988) and The Silence of the Lambs (1991), but, like plenty of others in these “Gold-en Age” days of television, she leans that direction.

So, while older female ac-tresses struggle with image while so many men don’t have to – Brad Pitt (50), Johnny Depp (51), George Clooney (53), and Richard Gere (65), to name a few – a handful of la-dies have managed to remain on the top shelf.

The plot (spoilers)Madame Mallory (Mirren)

owns a posh, highly-rated res-taurant in France that attracts the area’s elite.

Naturally, she’s shocked when a family of Indians moves in and begins to set up a restau-rant directly across the small lane. Led by Papa (Om Puri), the clan has rambled from In-dia through England to end up in France.

A son, Hassan (Manish Day-al) is a superlative cook who employs a variety of spices – so foreign to the local cuisine – to create inspired meals.

Mirren is fixated on acquiring a coveted Michelin star, mark-ing them gourmet and unique; her restaurant owns one that makes them exclusive, but Mir-ren wants a second star.

That looks like it’ll never

happen with the craziness that’s occurring constantly at the loud restaurant across the street.

Hassan is smitten with a chef in Mirren’s kitchen, Marguerite (Charlotte Le Bon). She begins helping him discover the fine art of upper-tier cooking.

Mirren knows Dayal is a good chef and eventually her severe stance softens and she hires him.

The ploy works as Michelin awards a second star. And, as suspected by all, Dayal is lured away to cook among the high-est of the high in Paris.

But he’s unhappy amid the glamour and prestige. He longs for home and Le Bon and must decide what to do about it.

What worksAh, Mirren – the Movie

Man’s a fan and she’s great. She’s stern at first then pulls off a steady melting of that cruel facade until she becomes allies with the Indians.

Le Bon is also a find. Her ini-tial smile is beaming; the fact that there’s clearly a crooked tooth there – and she (and the audience) couldn’t care less – makes her even more attractive and becoming.

Director Lasse Hallstrom has been over this cinematic semi-sugary terrain before. The Hun-dred-Foot Journey resembles Chocolate (2000) and a couple of the director’s mushy Nicolas

Sparks chick flick adaptations, Dear John (2010) and Safe Ha-ven (2013).

Such a history means he knows how to easily navigate the plot points from A to B to C.

There are some wonderful shots of French landscapes; Hallstrom often pulls the cam-era back to reveal luscious greenery, mountains, and streams.

He also knows to film food preparation in slo-mo, to make every grain of salt shaken or broken egg seem like a miracle.

Best sceneDayal is famous now, the top

chef in hipster Paris. But he’s miserable.

One late night after the res-taurant is closed, he spies a fel-low countryman eating alone in the vacant business.

Dayal tastes some of the other guy’s food – prepared by his wife in the old tradition that Dayal seems to have left behind. He tears up at just the taste of his homeland.

What doesn’t workOprah Winfrey is a producer

of The Hundred-Foot Journey and it shows. (So is Steven Spielberg.) If Mirren wasn’t at-tached, this movie would be a typical picture seen on Lifetime TV. The special zing that makes these generic movies different is lacking.

It’s very bland and boring for very long stretches. Plus it could easily have its 2 hour, 2 minute running time reduced by 30 minutes.

The romance between Mirren and Puri is not pulled off at all; it’s unbelievable.

Neither is the anger of Mir-ren’s primary chef stomp-ing off; his character is never fleshed out, so no one cares.

The ratingIt’s a fine PG; Disney-made,

there are almost zero vulgari-ties and nothing else offen-sive.

Summing upThe Hundred-Foot Journey

joins one other movie this year – coincidently, it, too, having a cooking theme, Chef – as pic-tures that have hung around theaters under the radar and be-come successes.

The Hundred-Foot Journey has quietly collected $42.1 mil-lion in America. You can still find Chef in a few theaters as well; that little movie has made $30.6 million.

Next upIt’s another snorer of a week,

and the Movie Man is deter-mined to hunt down the highly-thought-of Boyhood.

Paws for effect: Azle family raising funds for diabetic alert dog for 6-year-oldBy Natalie GeNtry

An Azle family has been hard at work raising money to pro-vide their son with a lifesaving tool – a diabetic alert dog.

Six-year-old Aden Witherell is growing up with an array of ailments: asthma, attention deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), and Asperger Syn-drome – a high functioning au-tism spectrum disorder; he has been a patient of The Autism Treatment Center of Fort Worth since July 2012.

The center assists with the development of effective lan-guage, communication, social skills, and sensory integration in patients on the autism spec-trum.

Another complicationIn addition to all Aden’s

woes, last Dec. 29, he was di-agnosed with Type 1 diabetes.

According to the American Diabetes Association (ADA), this type of diabetes is usu-ally diagnosed in children and young adults. It was previously known as juvenile diabetes.

Only five percent of people with diabetes have this form of the disease.

The addition of diabetes to Aden’s list of conditions has added a life-threatening ele-ment to the equation.

Aden requires multiple daily insulin injections to keep his blood glucose level in a safe range.

His insulin and ketone num-bers spike and drop erratically even with constant carbohy-drate and insulin ratio monitor-ing.

These highs and lows are so severe that his parents – Nathan

and Lindsey Witherell – have to take turns sleeping at night in order to monitor Aden’s levels.

His typical day involves at least eight finger pricks as long as his numbers stay consistent.

“That’s a minimum,” Lind-sey said. “When his ketones or blood glucose levels are dangerously high or low, he requires more frequent test-ing.”

In the last year, the Wither-ells have made several night-time trips to Cook Children’s Hospital in Fort Worth for med-ical assistance once all at-home attempts have failed to correct his glucose levels or ketones.

Due to the erratic fluctuation in his blood sugar levels Aden’s activities have become some-what limited.

“He can’t run all-out like other children,” Lindsey ex-plained. “If he does, his blood sugar will drop quickly.”

Aden has restrictions that limit the amount of time he can ride his bike, swim, chase bugs and do all the childhood things that little boys do.

A new opportunityAt doctors’ urging, the With-

erells applied for a service dog specifically trained to as-sist Aden and his parents with monitoring his blood glucose.

This diabetic alert dog (DAD) will also provide Aden with comfort and aid in self-calming when he is faced with autism challenges.

“Our hope is to give Aden as much of a normal life as pos-sible, his family peace of mind, and, who knows, maybe even a full night’s sleep for mom and dad,” said Jacquelyn Waters,

Aden’s aunt.The family chose to apply for

a service dog through Drey’s Alert Dogs in Jasper – and was accepted.

“We were able to raise the $1,000, deposit for a puppy that

was born the week of July 28.” Water’s said. “But after a lot of conversations between Aden’s parents and the coordinator at Drey’s, they decided on an old-er puppy.”

Enter NovaThe pup that Nathan, Lind-

sey, and the coordinator ul-timately paired with Aden is a British Labrador Retriever named Nova.

According to Drey’s website, British Labs easily attach to an individual and eagerly want to please humans.

“They are known to have a calmer nature and a smaller build than the American Lab-rador,” the site said. “We found that this breed has all the capa-ble skills, and whose more ap-propriate size makes it the ideal dog to do all the jobs that he or she might be asked to do, yet – due to their smaller build – still live inside comfortably.”

Although not the service animal the Witherell’s had first planned on, they think that Nova may be the best choice.

“We believe this has worked in our favor,” said Lindsey. “Nova’s handlers have been able to observe his personality and believe this is a good match for the cross training that Nova and Aden will need.”

Nova has previously been trained on generic swabs to recognize dangerous highs and lows in blood glucose and ke-tones.

The family was able to pay the $1,000 deposit so that Nova can now start to train for Aden’s’ specific needs using swabs of saliva gathered from Aden when his counts are high and low.

The training at Drey’s also includes techniques such as hands-on training with Aden – which requires visits to Jasper a couple times a month between

now and receipt of the service animal.

This mutual training will en-hance Nova’s abilities to recog-nize when Aden is being chal-lenged with his Asperger and will allow Aden to learn to trust Nova’s instincts and accept the calming affects the dog can bring to his life.

Once the training is complet-ed, Nova will be Aden’s con-stant companion; staying by his side at home, in public, and at school.

The dog will also sleep by the six year old and will be trained to alert Nathan and Lindsey – via an alarm button – if Aden’s ketones or glucose levels drop during the night.

“It will be so nice to be able to get a full night’s sleep know-ing Nova will let us know if Aden needs us,” Lindsey said.

The next challengeThe final hurdle the fam-

ily faces is raising the $19,000 to complete the purchase and training of this life-saving dog.

If the balance can be raised by Dec. 15, it is possible that Aden could have his service dog with him when he returns to school after Christmas break.

Providing Aden with all his medication and taking him to the treatment center and doc-tor’s visits has been difficult on the Witherell’s finances, and this significant added expense is simply too much for them to achieve alone.

Friends of the family have set up a Go Fund Me account online and that total combined with the collection boxes at lo-

like any 6-year-old, aden loves to be outside – however the erratic fluctuation of his blood glucose and ketones due to his type 1 Diabetes prevent him from doing all the things young children want to do. Photo courtesy Lindsey Witherell

CAR CAREAccording to data from True-

Car.com, in 2012 the average new car cost $30,500. That’s a considerable expense, espe-cially at a time when fuel costs remain high and cost of living continues to rise.

Because new cars have be-come so expensive, more and more vehicle owners are look-ing for ways to extend the life of their vehicles. The longer a car can stay on the road, the better an investment that vehi-cle becomes. Fortunately, there are several steps vehicle own-ers can take that should ensure their vehicles stay on the road for years to come.

* Scale back on short trips. The toll cold starts take on a vehicle can add up over time. When a car is started, condensation builds up in the vehicle’s exhaust system. On longer trips, that condensa-tion will gradually evaporate. However, on short trips, that condensation often does not have enough time to evaporate, and over time too many short trips will lead to an accumulation of water in the muffler that can lead to rust and rust holes on the muffler. Short trips also can neg-atively affect gas mileage. When possible, leave your car at home on trips into town when you can just as easily walk or ride a bi-cycle. Over time, reducing the amount of short trips you take in your car will greatly reduce wear and tear on your vehicle and improve your fuel efficiency as well.

* Stick to the manufacturer’s recommended maintenance schedule. Adhering to your ve-hicle’s maintenance schedule serves many purposes, includ-ing improving the its durability and protecting various compo-nents, including its cooling sys-tem and drivetrain. While many manufacturers used to recom-mend changing a vehicle’s oil every 3,000 miles, many of to-day’s newer automobiles need

their oil changed less frequent-ly. Check your owner’s manual for manufacturer recommen-dations regarding oil changes, and don’t forget to replace the oil filter when changing your

vehicle’s oil. * Pay attention to brake pads.

Brake pads that are allowed to

wear down can cause damage to the brakes’ rotors and cali-pers. That damage can prove costly and make things harder on your vehicle. Keep an eye on your vehicle’s brake pads,

which are far less expensive to replace than rotors and cali-pers, and do not allow them to

wear down to metal.* Keep your tires properly

inflated. Tires that are under-inflated will negatively impact your vehicle’s fuel efficiency. In addition, the tires’ life ex-pectancy is reduced consider-ably when tires are not prop-erly inflated. Routinely check your tire pressure, especially if you drive a lot, and keep tires inflated at the pressure recom-mended in your vehicle’s own-er’s manual.

* Be mindful when filling up your tank. Many people do not pay much attention to their sur-roundings when pulling into the filling station. But when you fill up can impact your car’s life expectancy. Perhaps the worst time to fill your tank is when the fuel tanker is in the gas station refilling the underground tanks. That’s because the process of filling the underground tanks can stir up sediment that had settled at the bottom of those tanks. If that sediment finds its way into your vehicle’s gas tank, it can clog filters and fuel injectors and negatively affect the vehicle’s performance. So unless your car is running on empty, avoid refill-ing its gas tank when the tanker is still in the station.

* Take care of your vehicle’s interior, too. Caring for a car is not just about being good to what’s under the hood. Caring for the car’s interior will not neces-sarily impact its performance, but a well-kept interior will improve how you look at your vehicle and how much you enjoy driv-ing it. The longer you enjoy driv-ing your vehicle, the longer you are likely to keep it. Preserve the vehicle’s door and window seals; clean the dashboard, including the gauges, vacuum the floor mats; and wipe down the vehicle’s inte-rior, whether it’s cloth or leather. Keeping up the appearance of the car’s interior will make the ve-hicle more enjoyable to drive and increase its value at resale.

Simple ideas for your car

Wednesday, September 10, 2014 3BCOMMUNITY

CAR CAREFew things can be more frus-

trating than jumping into the driver’s seat on a frosty morn-ing, turning the key in the igni-tion and failing to hear the en-gine roar to life. Frigid weather can cause trouble with a car’s battery. Some drivers do not understand why, but getting the facts can help people avoid having to deal with dead batter-ies on cold winter days.

Cold temperatures wreak havoc on batteries because they slow the chemical reaction in-side of the battery. Batteries work by combining lead plates with lead dioxide and sulfuric acid to create electrons. While

batteries can function under myriad conditions, the cold weather tends to degrade high-quality batteries and may ren-der subpar batteries useless. The cold weather can cause the fluid in the battery to freeze and lose function. A battery that is frozen will not hold a charge, and, as a result, the car won’t start.

There are various ways to protect a battery from failure in the cold, and some of them involve taking precautionary measures even before the ar-rival of cold weather.

* Assess the age of your bat-tery. If your battery is old, now

may be the time to replace it. Batteries differ in how long they last, but many last any-where from five to 10 years. If your car is still running on its original battery and your car is several years old, it may be a good idea to get a new bat-tery before the arrival of winter. Battery size will not necessar-ily provide better starting. It’s important to buy the correct battery for the make of your car, which can usually be found inside of the owner’s manual.

* Verify that there is no cor-rosion. Corrosion can prevent a car from starting just as much as a worn-out battery. Corro-

sion is caused by a faulty con-nection that allows battery acid to escape and corrode surround-ing areas. Regularly inspect the battery to keep abreast of issues that may cause corrosion. Care-fully clean away any corrosive residue that has formed and make sure the battery is cor-rectly seated.

* Install a battery blanket. A battery blanket is used to wrap around the battery and fit in-side of the battery cover. A cord with a plug runs from the blan-ket to a wall outlet. The blan-ket can produce enough heat to keep the battery fluid from freezing. A trickle charger can

also be mounted on the battery. It will deliver enough power to the battery while the car is off to keep it from freezing.

* Minimize the use of auto-motive accessories. Do not start the car with the heater and the radio on. They can use up the power coming from the car’s alternator and prevent the bat-tery from charging. Do not leave the heat and the radio on while the car is idling. Other-wise the car will not be putting out enough power for the alter-nator to charge the battery and power the electrical systems.

* Disconnect the battery. If your car will be stored in a ga-rage for the winter, disconnect the battery. Certain devices, such as clocks and alarm sys-tems, continue to drain battery power when the vehicle is off. If your car will not be driven enough to recharge the battery, keep it disconnected when the automobile is being stored.

Cold weather can some-times wreak havoc on vehicles. Knowing how to skirt trouble with your car’s battery can keep your car on the road throughout the winter.

When it comes to taking care of their vehicles, many motor-ists prefer to be overly cautious. While that’s not necessarily a bad thing, there are times when being too cautious can unnec-essarily cost you money.

Motor oil, and when to change that oil, has long been a point of contention. Many drivers grew up being told that motor oil should be changed every 3,000 miles. However, that myth has been debunked for many of today’s vehicles, which should come with sug-gested intervals between oil changes. According to Ed-munds.com, in 2010 the aver-age interval for oil changes was 7,800 miles. In addition to changing a car’s motor oil less frequently, there are other things drivers should know

about motor oil.* Oil does not necessarily

need to be changed before a long trip. Taking a trip? While it’s good to have your car ex-amined before embarking, if the recommended oil change interval is not up, then you do not need to preemptively change your oil. Such a change is likely unnecessary and will not improve the performance of your vehicle during the trip.

* Black oil does not neces-sitate a change. Conventional wisdom once suggested if the oil on the dipstick is black then it needs to be changed. But nowadays automotive profes-sionals are noting that black oil is doing its job and different additives might be changing the oil’s color, which means the oil doesn’t need to be changed.

* You can use petroleum-based oil after using synthetic. Another longstanding myth regarding motor oil was that once you use a synthetic mo-tor oil instead of a petroleum-based oil you have to continue using synthetic oil, which is of-ten more expensive than more traditional motor oil, in order to avoid harming the vehicle. However, automotive profes-sionals have noted that these two types of oils are now often blended, meaning switching back and forth from one to the other is not likely to cause any damage to your vehicle. Just be sure to use motor oil that meets the standards set forth in your vehicle’s owner’s manual.

* Consider an earlier oil change after buying a new ve-hicle. Sometimes a new vehicle

will need an oil change after its first 3,000 miles. However, this does not mean your vehicle will need one every 3,000 miles. According to Blackstone Lab-oratories, who study motor oil, oil samples taken from engines during their initial 3,000 miles of driving had elevated metal levels from the camshafts and pistons. These elevated levels will not necessarily be harm-ful, but some auto manufactur-ers recommend a shorter initial interval just to be safe. Honda, however, includes an anti-wear additive in their break-in oil and advises against changing their oil early. Consult your owner’s manual to determine if it’s best to change your oil af-ter the initial 3,000 miles or to let it go until the recommended interval.

PC Sheriff warns of jury duty scamThe same type of scam that

has been plaguing Tarrant County for almost six weeks has now been reported in Park-

er County.P a r k e r

C o u n t y Sheriff Lar-ry Fowler is warning the public of imper-sonators at-tempting to scare resi-dents into a scam for profit.

S h e r i f f Fowler has been made aware of s e v e r a l i n c i d e n t s where sus-pects have p l a c e d phone calls to targeted c i t i z e n s stating they are county representa-tives.

The call-

er informs the victim they have failed to appear for jury duty, resulting in a monetary fine.

The suspects then threaten the victim with the issuance of an arrest warrant if the victim refuses to pay the fine.

The caller instructs the victim to pay the alleged fine by using a debit or credit card, over the phone.

Victims are requested to pro-vide their debit or credit card number along with the three-digit security code located on the back of the card.

The suspects end the call by directing the victim to con-tact the county courthouse or county clerk in order to remove the victim’s alleged warrant in light of their “payment.”

Sheriff Fowler said county officials do not advise residents of failure to appear for jury duty or warrant notifications by phone.

“It’s disheartening to see anyone scammed out of their

hard-earned money,” Fowler said. “These suspects carry out devious actions and their scheme is calculated. Parker County officials certainly do not contact citizens seeking payments for fines over the phone.”

The Parker County Sheriff’s Office sends failure to appear notices only by the United States Postal Service.

Sheriff Fowler encourages residents to contact his office to report any suspicious calls from individuals soliciting money.
