SPECIAL SECTION

by Natalie GeNtryRepublicans throughout the state

prevailed in almost all 2014 elections.The local races reflected similar re-

sults in Parker County.

RenoReno voters passed Proposition 1

– a one-fourth of one percent street maintenance sales tax – 57 percent (237 votes) to 43 percent (179 votes).

PoolvilleIn the only contested race for

Poolville Independent School District Trustees, Roger Smith beat Brandon Key 69 percent (235 votes) to 31 per-cent (105 votes).

In a close contest, Poolville resi-dents voted against Proposition 1, which would have allowed Emer-gency Services District (ESD) No. 8 to annex Poolville and a section of Weatherford’s extraterritorial jurisdic-tion north of the city, 51 percent (457 votes) to 49 percent (445 votes).

And, Proposition No. 2 – regard-ing accepting a proportionate share

of ESD No. 8’s debt – met the same fate as 57 percent (510 votes) voted against the proposition and 43 percent (389 votes) voted in favor.

Parker CountyWayne Hayes (R) was unopposed in

his run for Justice of the Peace, Pre-cinct 1, as was County Judge Mark Riley (R).

Other county officials who ran un-opposed include District Clerk Share-na Gilliland, County Clerk Jeane Brunson, and County Treasurer Jenny

Barnwell.

StateState level election results continue

to reflect the Republican state of mind in a clean sweep of the races.

Republican Greg Abbott defeated Wendy Davis in the run for Governor while Dan Patrick (R) beat Leticia Van de Putte (D) for Lt. Governor.

In the race for State Senator District 30, Republican Craig Estes (R) beat Libertarian Cory Lane, and incumbent State Representative for District 61,

Phil King (R) defeated Matthew Britt (D).

Texans approved overwhelmingly State Proposition 1 that earmarked ap-proximately $1.7 billion in Rainy Day Funds for highway construction, main-tenance, and rehabilitation projects.

NationalTexas voters also decide to continue

Republican representation in Congress as both U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R) and U.S. Representative for District 12, Kay Granger (R) were reelected.

Springtown named a Purple Heart City

by Natalie GeNtryThe third annual Run to Remember

took place on the frosty morning of Nov. 1.

The event honors the military men and women who have served, fought, and died to protect our country, so the opening ceremonies were the perfect time for Mayor Doug Hughes to pro-claim Springtown a Purple Heart City.

“The City of Springtown has great admiration and the utmost gratitude for all the men and women of the Armed Forces who have selflessly served their country and this city, and who have borne the brunt of the bat-tle,” Mayor Hughes said.

“Purple Heart recipients are an inte-gral part of our society,” he continued. “And it is important that we acknowl-edge them for their courage and show them the support they have earned.”

Rhonda McRae, Springtown War

Memorial Association secretary, not-ed that many of the attendees were military families who realized that compared to the hardships our troops endure, braving the cold morning was a tiny sacrifice to support the city as it honored Purple Heart recipients.

According to the Texas Military Or-der of the Purple Heart (MOPH) web-site, Springtown is now one of only 17 cities in the state designated with this honor.

Other Texas Purple Heart Cities: Abernathy, Grapevine, Kerrville, Harker Heights, Katy, Lubbock, Georgetown, Nacogdoches, Rosen-berg, South Padre Island, Petersburg, Tyler, Burleson, Killeen, Sugar Land, and Richmond.

Springtown is the only city in Park-er County – one of four Purple Heart Counties in Texas – to hold this dis-tinction.

Springtown Mayor Doug Hughes was joined by members of the Military Order of the Purple Heart (MOPH) Chapter 1513 Nov. 1 during the run to remember opening ceremony as Springtown was des-ignated a Purple Heart City: (l-r) MOPH 1513 Quartermaster Jon lunkwicz, MOPH 1513 Commander Mike Pierce, Mayor Doug Hughes, and MOPH Chaplain rupert Harrell.

Sound of Springtown 11th at state marching contest

Finals missed by 1 pointby Natalie GeNtry

The “Sound of Springtown” (SOS) finished in eleventh place in the University Interscholastic League (UIL) State Marching Contest Monday, Nov. 3.

Following a spirited send-off Sunday afternoon, SOS ar-rived at the Alamodome after a second place finish at the Area competition on Oct. 25.

The band missed the opportunity to perform in finals by one place, a single point.

“We missed finals by one point, but I couldn’t be more proud of their effort,” said Director of Bands for Spring-town Independent School District (SISD) Chris McLellan.

SOS was given 3, 7, and 13 rankings for music and 10 and 21 rankings for marching.

The 21 – clearly at odds with the other rankings – was a factor that kept the band from advancing to finals.

This is the fourth time the SHS band has qualified to perform at the state competition.

There are approximately 190 high schools in Spring-town’s 4A classification.

“Finishing as the eleventh highest-rated band is quite an honor,” said SISD Superintendent Mike Kelley. “We appreciate the hard work that earning such a designation required.”

Band directors include McLellan, Scot McPhetrige, Chris Mashburn, Megan Hibbetts, Robin Hidrogo, and Alexis Wells.

Express yourselfSHS students personalize parking spots

by Natalie GeNtrySpringtown High School (SHS)

students have a new way to express themselves and help raise money for Project Celebration.

Beginning in September, seniors were given the opportunity to reserve parking spaces and submit designs to paint in the spaces.

According to guidelines, the four foot square design proposal must be approved by an SHS administrator prior to painting.

Depending on the location of the parking space, the price to reserve and decorate one ranges from $40-$100.

Revenue from the fundraising effort will be used to support the Student Council and Project Celebration.

After seniors were given a time to place reservations, spaces were of-fered on a first-come, first-serve basis, and sold through the SHS office dur-ing student lunch periods.

Students were encouraged to ex-press themselves through the artwork, and include their name somewhere in their design.

Inappropriate words, symbols, or pictures were obviously prohibited.

Campus administrators have desig-nated supervised “paint days” at the beginning of each term.

Non-reserved or general parking spaces are still available for students who did not wish to purchase and dec-orate a parking spot.

The standard parking permit must be purchased for $5, payable to SISD.

the annual SiSD Pink Out took in more money than ever, spon-sor Cindy Haugen said. this year’s final tally was $6,750. “Sydney Johnson and Jill ray did an outstanding job this year,” Haugen said. a series of sales and events – like at an SHS varsity volleyball match where athletes threw pink balls into the stands – collected money, all of which went to the Joan Katz breast Center at baylor all Saints Medical Center in Fort Worth.

School District (SISD) recent-ly received three buses from American Bus Sales in Collins-ville, Oklahoma.

The district purchased the “lease return” buses as a contin-uation of the upgrade to the fleet.

The addition of these buses leaves the district with only two

buses without air-conditioning. SISD Superintendent Mike

Kelley and Transportation Di-rector Shane Strickland have worked to purchase nine buses in four years to ensure the safe-ty and comfort of students who ride district buses.

The newest buses are expect-ed to be placed on routes in the next two weeks.

WRMC opens new Senior Behavioral Health Unit

By Natalie GeNtryWeatherford Regional Medi-

cal Center (WRMC) CEO Da-vid Orcutt spoke to the Spring-town Chamber of Commerce at the Oct. 23 luncheon outlining the recent growth of the medi-cal center.

“One of the newest additions to the hospital is the Senior Be-havioral Health Unit, a 12-bed, inpatient psychiatric care unit serving adults 65 years of age or older,” Orcutt said.

Services in the unit focus on the disease processes that are more common to geriatric pa-tients such as early onset Al-zheimer and Parkinson’s disease.

In addition, treatment is available for a variety of condi-tions including, but not limited to depression, psychosis, bipo-lar disorder, and anxiety.

These patients are volun-tarily seeking behavioral health

services and usually require a short inpatient stay.

The average stay in the unit is 7-10 days.

Treatment services include 24-hour monitoring and super-vision, diagnostic assessments and evaluations, one-on-one visits with a psychiatrist, sta-bilizing and managing medica-tions, group therapy, and man-aging secondary medical needs.

The unit is also designed to educate patients and families to better manage their conditions and ongoing recovery by de-veloping healthier coping skills and a safe and secure follow-up plan for post discharge care.

Referrals for admission are accepted from physicians, home health, social service agencies, and home/residence.

For more information or to make a referral, call 682-582-2900.

It was a busy few days for many local residents. On Saturday, Nov. 1, participants of the 2014 Run to Remember (right) begin the chilly 5K run/walk/roll. The first place 5K winner was Danny Mitchell, second place went to Malorie Cul-well, and taking third was Keeley Johns. The youngest participant was Drew Vennel and the eldest participant was Milas Thompson. The travel award went to Cait Bai-ley. On Sunday, Nov. 2, the Sound of Springtown got a big send-off as they headed to San Antonio to compete in the state marching band contest (above) at the Al-amodome the next day.

by mark k. campbellA slow start in the Lady

Porcupines’ bi-district match against Alvarado Nov. 3 did not deter Springtown (22-16).

SHS rebounded from a 20-25 opening set loss to steam roll the Lady Indians in the next three games – 25-15, 25-19, 25-15 – in River Oaks at Cas-tleberry High School.

The victory propelled the Lady Porcupines to the Area round, set for Thursday, Nov. 6 at Bowie High School against Vernon.

The Lady Lions swept Gra-ham in Vernon’s bi-district con-test.

Brooklyn Dauenhauer had a marvelous match. She killed a stunning 26 balls – Springtown had 45 total in the four sets – blocked a ball, and served an ace.

Kendyl Dean led SHS in digs with 10.

At the net, the Lady Porcu-pines shone with several get-ting blocks. Ashton Weaver led with 3.5 and Gabby Terry was right behind with 3. Kelly Boy-ett, Brittany Stroud, and Dauen-hauer all had a solo block.

Concerning the slow start, Coach Leighann Strickland said, “We were able to get a little offense working and that helped us pull away.”

Springtown is playoff-bound, thanks in large part to the defense that includes: (l-r) martine medina (63), Jesse Springfield (73), robert Dease (62), Damien Spraberry (28), Jarrod Nelson (3), and Fisher Drewry (19). after the season finale against castleberry at home, the porcupines will face Sanger in bi-district.

Once again, the Swanzy fam-ily proved tough to beat in the weekly football contest.

This time, members of the family took the top two places.

Eddy Swanzy turned in a perfect 12-0 card and won the $20 first place cash.

Three prognosticators missed one game each, kicking in the tie-breaker of TCU 31, West Virginia 30 (61)

With her guess of 71 on the tie-breaker, Margaret Swan-zy took the $10 second place award.

Third place and $5 went to Clyde Bradshaw who predict-ed a score of 78.

Too far off on the tie-break-er was Wade Daniels with a guess of 83.

This week’s contest is the last for 2014. However, it will return next August.

by mark k. campbellJames Rike likes Springtown.After coaching stops in

Abilene, Athens, and Abilene again, he found his way here – where he will shortly begin his seventh year as the leader of the Porcupine hoops program.

Already, Rike told Spring-town Optimists Nov. 4, his squads are practicing at 6 a.m.

“Our outlook is good,” he said about the upcoming sea-son. “I’m proud of what we’ve done early.”

Part of that preseason con-ditioning is having Porcu-pines run the daunting stadium bleachers every Friday.

That’s the kind of effort that wins, he noted. “You’re only as good as your best leaders,” Rike said. He lauded a couple of “leaders” in attendance, Zach Burton and Dawson Meeks.

Rike said Burton could have already graduated and has been offered a chance to attend elite Cal Tech. Burton and Dawson, who has started since his soph-omore season, are the “meat of our team,” Rike said.

Springtown has been to the postseason the last two years and should return again.

Rike played his high school ball in the West Texas town of Haskell. From there, he walked on at Texas Tech before begin-ning his high school coaching career at Abilene Cooper.

From there, he traveled across the state to Athens in East Texas where he met his wife Julie.

They returned to Abilene Cooper before Rike started seeking out a head coaching job. He knew and had played with a former SHS coach, Harper Stewart. Rike was sold.

“The Lord sent us here,” Rike said.

Expect the Porcupines to be defensive minded. Rike said Springtown’s magic number is 52: “We win 80 percent of our games when we hold our oppo-nent under 52 points.”

He considers his job impor-tant. “We’re turning teens out into the real world. We must empower them to be respon-sible for their own actions.”

by mark k. campbellA huge first half in Lake

Worth assured the Porcupine football team of not only a vic-tory but a playoff berth, too.

Springtown (6-3, 3-1) turned a 30-10 halftime lead into a 44-

10 victory over the Bullfrogs.With Kennedale dodging a

bullet against feisty Alvarado (30-27), SHS will end up sec-ond in 5-4A and face Sanger in bi-district.

At Lake Worth, the Porcu-

pines took the lead just 55 sec-onds into the game.

That’s when QB Austin Bau-man hit Mykeal Cummings for a 61-yard TD pass.

After a Frog field goal, Bau-man scored on a run then SHS

got a safety.Lake Worth scored in the

second quarter to get to within 16-10. But Springtown tallied all the rest of the game’s points, 28, four touchdowns.

Bauman, filling in admirable

since an injury to starter Kaleb Chesney, had a hand in three of those scores.

First he ran over from the 10 with 2:14 left in the half. Be-fore the horn, Dillon Spring-field scored with 40 seconds

left on a 9-yard jaunt.That 30-10 lead grew in the

third quarter when Brandon Santos caught an 8-yard TD pass from Bauman.

The 8th A (10-1, 9-0) bashed Willkie 25-10, 25-10.

“This was a solid win with very few errors,” coach Ashley Watson noted.

She lauded the ef forts of Del -aney Jones for playing front row for the first time this season.

Addison Farris (5 assists, 4 kills), Charisma Jones (13 points), Khloe Smith (6 kills), and Maddie Owens (13 digs) were vital to the win.

The final points came when Bauman ran from the 18 early in the fourth quarter.

While one more district game awaits – Senior Night at home against Castleberry – all 5-4A playoffs berths are already set

Springtown is the No. 2 seed in the “Big School” – Div. I – bracket.

Coach Brian Hulett said this year’s group of seniors de-served to be lauded.

“I’m proud of a group of seniors who had to adapt to change and have learned new things,” he noted. “We have won several games that could have gone either way.”

Hulett said a victory over Castleberry would give the Por-cupines a 7-win regular season

“That is something our boys need to be proud of,” the coach said.

Hulett also had praise for Bauman as well as Chesney and Springfield, SHS’ trio of quarterbacks this season.

No one expected fireworks at the annual Region I cross country meet at Lubbock’s Mae Simmons Park on Halloween.

And none came. But all seven of the eight Springtown competitors at the elite meet were underclassmen.

The Lady Porcupine team was led by junior Sharaia Stout who ran the grueling two-mile route in 13 minutes, 26 seconds.

Two other juniors – Harley Phares and Kristine Camacho – followed Stout in.

Springtown’s lone boy run-ning, Alan Tarango, is a junior who ran three miles in 17:54.

Coach Trent Davis said, “I wanted the runners to use this year as a learning experience. I wanted them to see what it was like to run with the big boys and girls.”

The coach said he was very pleased with the progress of the two squads. “We made improvements that exceeded

my expectations. Now we will continue to work on getting our times faster,” Davis said.

That means getting “girls in the 12’s and boys into the 17’s,” he said.

The JV football team kept pace with the varsity in victo-ries, claiming its sixth victory.

The SHS JV (6-3) bashed lake Worth 41-6.

The game was actually tied at 6 after one period; the Porcu-pines score came when Austin

Chenault ran for a 20-ayrd TD.After that, the Frogs faded

and Springtown revved up.Chenault scored three more

touchdowns on runs of 2, 25, and 2 yards. He also ran over a 2-point conversion.

Hayden Quinn threw a TD

pass to Wriley Russell.The other SHS points came

from the defense when Russell snatched a 15-yard pick six in-terception.

“It was good to go out and physically dominate a football game,” coaches said.

The

About 4,000 Loyalists, mainly the types most able to survive, but few with the quasi-urban background of their eastern brethren,

went up through New York state to settle Kingston and Niagara and being better suited to the frontier struggle which faced them, formed the nucleus of what is now Ontario. Their provin-cial flag incorporates a union canton, showing their Loyalist heritage and their motto 'Ut incepit Fidelis sic per-manent' means Loyal she began loyal she remains.

“Others fled to either Florida (then British), Bermuda, Bahamas/Abaco/Eleuthera/Exuma, Turks & Caicos, Ja-maica, Dominica, St Lucia, the Miski-to Coast (later to British Honduras now Belize) and Sierra Leone. Those that arrived in Britain were in a piti-able situation, so much so that Lord North the Prime Minister, intended to arrange for them to be given passage

and land in Australia as free settlers, even to introduce them to potential Tahiti wives, but his government was defeated in a general election before this could take place.

“His successor the hard-nosed Lord Sydney had different ideas and decided, following a period of lock-ing up mere petty criminals, to send them instead, to both reduce the ‘self-induced’ overcrowding problem in HM prisons and (one must conclude) to conveniently have less independent settlers for a new colony.

“Most people in Vermont did not take part in the rebellion and wanted to remain independent or even part of Canada, but were threatened by Wash-ington and forced to join the USA, so 8,000 of its settlers moved just across the border into Canada, where they set up the eastern townships in order to escape the chaos, taxes and anarchy that had become rife in the new US.

“An indication of what life was like in the new USA is an armed uprising

took place in Massachusetts from 1786 to 1787 against crippling tax-ation which had caused most to fall deeply in debt and then as a consequence faced them with either imprisonment or their prop-erty confis-cated for the state to sell.

This popular rebellion led by Daniel Shays, was crushed when nearly all of its leaders were caught and sentenced to death, Daniel Shays died in dire poverty.

“In 1796 the British tried again to get compensation for the Loyalists by agreeing to withdraw from forts in

Ohio country, if the Americans would agree to act more effectively on Loy-alists claims. The British withdrew on schedule but the Loyalist claims were never settled, even though the British did all they could to pacify the Indians

“The final injustice was that the Loyalists were made to disappear and what force of arms could not erase, US historians have so diligently buried, so that their persecution remains ignored and forgotten.

“In 1812, while Britain was at the height of her struggle with a Napoleon led Europe, that Madison and his par-ty were aiding, Britain's very survival was at stake, so she naturally tried to impound this aid. In response the Anglophobic US War Hawks know-ing Britain was unlikely to be able to reinforce her meagre 5,000 man force in Canada and as the total population of Canada was only appoximately 500,000 against around 7,500,000 million in the USA, thought it was a good time to take advantage of Brit-

ain’s preoccupation.“So they claimed the British were

arming the Indians, (when the truth was they didn’t have enough arms for themselves), grossly inflated the num-ber of American sailors seized in error while boarding their ships to retrieve (poached) enlisted seamen and per-suaded Madison, despite the suffering already inflicted on the Loyalists, to declare war and try to annex Canada which would effectively steal their land again.

“America used its considerable skill of propaganda to try to get the Cana-dians to switch allegiance and join the USA, but the Loyalists knew the worthlessness of President Madison's pompous proclamations and promises and wisely remained deeply distrust-ing of the US and its brand of repub-licanism.”

A poem by any other name will still be unread

ON YOURMARK

Mark K. Campbell

Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and has destoryed an enormous amount of self-penned

poetry. You’re welcome.

I try.

Occasionally, I pick up a book of poetry and try to get through it.

But, like with classical mu-sic or jazz, I soon find my mind

wandering.Oh, certain pieces of high society art

have stuck with me through the years.I know lots of classical music –

well, bits of famous pieces – thanks to old Bugs Bunny cartoons I watched every Saturday morning as a kid.

(Did you know that commercial channels no longer show Saturday morning cartoons? Now it’s all juicer infomercials and those endless Ameri-can Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals tearjerkers set to mournful Sarah McLachlan ballads. [Even she turns the channel when they come on, McLachlan says.])

I know that it’s very hip to like jazz. I am knowledgeable enough to drop names like Miles Davis and Thelo-nious Monk, but I couldn’t make it through the former’s Kind of Blue, the “greatest jazz album of all time.”

(However, I should also mention I know “Take Five” by Dave Brubeck, but only because it became a Top 40 hit in 1961, reaching No. 25.)

Poetry is tough, too. As an English Literature minor, I’ve read a lot of

stuff. Just not much poetry.Oh, I can recite plenty of it, still en-

tombed in my webby memory forever more, parts of “The Raven” by Edgar Allen Poe and some Emily Dickinson and Robert Frost.

Poetry used to be the realm of the creative super writer, many pinned with the title of U.S. poet laureate. I’m sure you know our current one is Charles Wright. (Of course I Googled it!)

It all started back in 1937 with Jo-seph Auslander. Occasionally, there’s a name in poets laureate history that is recognizable: Robert Penn Warren (1944-45 and again in 1986-87 when the title was changed to Poet Laure-ate Consultant in Poetry); Frost (1958-59, owner of four Pulitzer Prizes! for poetry!), and James Dickey (1966-68 who I really only know for his novel Deliverance which I saw as a movie starring Burt Reynolds in a theater in downtown Dallas when I was a senior attending a National Beta Club func-tion in 1972 and was forever more traumatized by the words “squeal like a pig” which has very little to do with poetry yet still conjures up vivid, trou-bling images).

Poetry looks easy. Just like when reading a Stephen King book, one thinks, well, I could do that – until one tries. Like a Dr. Seuss book, simple

doesn’t mean easy.

That’s not to say I haven’t had a go at writing poetry through the years.

In the inter-est of full dis-closure, the first thing I ever had print-ed – as a Leon-ard Middle School eighth grader in 1970

– was a poem about Frankenstein’s Monster.

However, my poetry winning streak ended at one.

Still, I have bits and pieces of ef-forts stashed hither and yon. They stay stashed because they are horrible.

Here’s an example, penned, it says on the rumbled piece of small lined notebook paper, on Sept. 3, 2003, not long before the singer Warren Zevon, most notable to mainstream mankind as the author of “Werewolves of Lon-don,” died.

I recall the romantic setting where I scribbled way – behind Arlington Fire Station No. 15 after supper. I felt

inspired, but it must’ve been Scott’s stomaching-challenging cooking be-cause this is what came out:

He led a good life right up to the end,Always “weird” – something he

never bothered to defend.He wrote and sang what he saw and

heard.And often pressed on beyond the ab-

surd.A hit in his youth among those off

the path,Yet not a giant success; he never

sweated the math.He roamed where he wanted and

few can say that.His lifework was everywhere, to be

exact.Pee-yew! Thankfully for humanity,

we caught a major accident and the poem crashed and burned, never re-turned to. My eighth grade poem was way better.

Amazingly, no one has yet con-tacted me to be the next Poet Laureate Consultant in Poetry.

Still, I feel I’m not living life to its fullest by not consuming some poetry at least occasionally.

So, when I was at the Azle Memori-al Library and saw a “free book” rack, I stopped. What better way to expand one’s mind than to do it for free.

There, curiously untouched (and

maybe never opened), was a 1966 translation of Russian poet Yevgeny Yevtushenko.

Bratsk Station and Other New Po-ems was issued as part of a series called “Books that Matter” by an Aus-tralian publisher.

You can tell it’s important right off the bat because the poems don’t rhyme. Back in ‘66, a rhyming app for phones was in its earliest stages.

I cracked the book open, determined to cram some culture in me no matter what. How fitting that, in early No-vember, I fell on page 203 and “Au-tumn”:

Inside me the season is autumn,the chill is in me, you can see

through me,and I am sad, but not altogether

cheerless,and filled with humility and good-

ness.But if I rage sometimes,then I am the one whose rage is

shedding my leaves ––Zzzzzzzz. Huh? What?! Sorry I

dozed off there.Maybe I could hang in there with it

more if Foghorn Leghorn was reading it...

The 2014 elections by the numbers

With a historic Re-publican wave of victories, this is how Texans vot-ed (based on exit polls):

In the governor’s race, Republican Greg Abbott won the women’s vote with 59 percent. Sixty-five percent of men voted for Abbott.

His rival, Democrat Wendy Davis, won the Hispanic vote with 57 percent. She also took the African-American vote by a whopping 93 to 7 percent.

Most voters in Texas are white, 65 percent of the electorate; 72 percent of them voted for Abbot.

The remainder of the Texas elector-ate: Latinos at 18 percent, African-Americans at 12 percent, and Asians at 2 percent.

Abbott won almost every county in the state.

Davis took a large swath of counties along the Rio Grande. The lone non-border counties won by Davis were Travis where she took 63 percent and Dallas County where she defeated Ab-bott 63 to 34 percent.

Governor greets ToyotaGov. Rick Perry on Oct. 27

welcomed New York, N.Y.-based Toyota Motor North America Inc. to Plano, where its new headquarters will be built. The manufacturer’s relo-cation to Plano is supported by a $40 million investment from the business-luring Texas En-terprise Fund administered by the governor’s office.

The facility, to be completed in late 2016 or early 2017, will bring nearly 4,000 jobs and more than $300 million in capi-tal investment to North Texas, according to Perry’s Oct. 27 statement. Toyota Motor North America, combined with 21 on-site suppliers, already supports some 6,000 jobs in San Antonio, including 2,900 from its $2.3 billion manufacturing plant.

TxDOT ends gravel policyTexas Department of Trans-

p o r t a -tion in the sum-mer of 2013 an-nounced a plan to c o n v e r t 83 miles of “sig-nificantly damaged p a v e d roads” in the Ea-gle Ford S h a l e e n e r g y -producing

region to gravel surface as a temporary budget-cutting mea-sure.

In an Oct. 24 letter to the Leg-islative Budget Board, TxDOT announced the formal termina-tion of its “high-end unpaved road conversion policy” and requested access to $402 mil-lion in additional funding for Fiscal Year 2015 with half go-ing to safety projects across the state and the remainder toward

roadways affected by the state’s growing energy sector.

Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst praised TxDOT’s announce-ment, saying, “Texas families and businesses in both rural and urban areas deserve a compre-hensive first-rate transportation system and they’ll get it.”

Nurse recovers from EbolaTexas Department of State

Health Services Commissioner Dr. David Lakey on Oct. 28 expressed relief when Amber Vinson, a nurse with Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital Dallas, was declared free of the Ebola virus last week. She was in isolation and receiving treat-ment at Emory University Hos-pital in Atlanta.

“We are so pleased that Am-ber Vinson has been declared free of Ebola. She is one of the health care workers who brave-ly provided care to the first Ebola patient diagnosed in the United States. Through excel-lent health care and her own courage, she beat the disease. Based on the clinical and lab

findings, people are not at risk of getting the disease from her, and she has been completely cleared. We wish her the best as she transitions back to a normal life, and we welcome her back home to Texas,” Lakey said in an official statement.

Summit focuses on bullying“Bullying remains one of

the most prevalent and widely discussed topics pertaining to school safety and security,” Texas Education Agency an-nounced during Texas Safe Schools Week, Oct. 19-25.

During the week, Texas School Safety Center at Tex-as State University in San Marcos and the Texas Edu-cation Agency spotlighted resources available to help school districts and charters address and combat bullying and cyber-bullying on cam-puses.

Also, Texas School Safety Center presented the 2nd An-nual Texas Bully Prevention Summit on Oct. 30 in San Marcos.

Drought conditions persistGov. Perry on Oct. 28 an-

nounced the renewal of the emergency disaster proclama-tion the governor originally had signed in July 2011, certifying that exceptional drought condi-tions posed a threat of immi-nent disaster in specified coun-ties in Texas.

This month, the proclamation applies to 98 of the state’s 254 counties. In contrast, the proc-lamation applied to 113 speci-fied counties last month.

The drought proclamation directs that “all necessary measures, both public and pri-vate” as authorized by state law “be implemented to meet that threat” and “all rules and regulations that may inhibit or prevent prompt response to this threat are suspended for the duration of the state of di-saster.”

STATE CAPITAL

HIGHLIGHTSEd Sterling

Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services

director for the Texas Press Associa-tion, whose 518 member newspapers

have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

Are you as tired as I of the negativity and hyperbole of the election season? Thank-

fully, we can soon move on to what’s next. Something that amazes me is how those who come in second (a much nicer term than “losers”) congratulate and commit to work with those whom they have spent the past months vilifying. I guess they are hoping that their controver-sial and accusatory statements will be forgotten and they will still have a place at the table.

I’m not much into making controversial statements. I am, however, into making state-ments and asking questions that cause people to pause and think. I made a couple of those in last week’s column, “What happens when wisdom meets energy?”

I think there are a couple of near-universal truths here:

1. Most young leaders think they are wiser than they really

are.2. Most older

leaders think they have less energy than they really have.

The first truth leads to the develop-ment of unhealthy and ineffective hab-its. The second truth is often a result of those habits and leads to frustration and regret.

I can imagine some young leaders bristling at the idea that I might be suggesting that they are re-ally don’t know what they are doing. I can also imagine some older leaders frustrated that I have just called them out, sug-gesting that they are not doing enough anymore.

Neither of those conclu-sions is true, but I hope I have sparked some contemplation on what it would be like if the wis-dom of experience could meet the energy of youth. So how

can wisdom meet energy?

Honestly, I can only think of one way for that to hap-pen effectively: an intentional mentor-ing relationship.

Two persons are necessary:

1. A young leader who realizes that, no matter how smart he or she is, there are some things that can only be learned through experience.

A smart person learns from his or her own experiences. A wise person learns from the experi-ence of others.

2. An older leader who real-izes that, no matter what limita-tions have come about through aging, there is an amazing new energy that comes through gen-erously investing in the next generation.

The only way this relation-ship can work is for both to ap-proach it with humility. Young

leaders need humility to allow someone to speak into their lives. Older leaders need hu-mility to value the wisdom that young leaders do have and to resist the temptation to “talk down” to them.

When I think of an effec-tive mentoring relationship, I think of Paul and Timothy. In 1 and 2 Timothy we see how Paul talked “to” Timothy. In Romans, 1 & 2 Corinthians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, and Philemon, we see how Paul talked “about” Timothy.

Both matter.No matter where we are on

the age spectrum, we have much to learn and much to share. What is the next step for you in the quest to connect wis-dom and energy?

How can wisdom meet energy?

... on a scale of 1-107

Thursday, November 6, 2014Movie Man14A

“Gritty” movies have been around for a while. From the film noir pictures of the 1940’s and early ‘50’s to the realistic crime movies of the 1970’s, there’s a history of dark, macho movies that evolved into a genre. To-day, movies that look a certain way are deemed to be a throw-back to those “gritty films of the ‘70’s” – like Dog Day After-noon (1975) or Serpico (1973.)

And this week’s movie, Nightcrawler, is another mod-ern movie that is a mirroring of that era’s style.

Now, having said all that in this introduction, let’s go off in a different direction.

About the film (kinda)Another genre off–the-beaten

path folks can venture down in theaters is the weirdo movie, the indecipherable, the movie that doesn’t spell everything out, that leaves things unattend-ed to or flat-out mysterious.

Nightcrawler stars Jake Gyl-lenhaal and he once had the lead in of those queer classics. But, before we get to that one – that itself is a freak of nature even in that huh? genre – here’s a couple of movies that have defied traditional conclusions.

Naturally, there are short or basically unheard of films that dare to be non-conformist for non-conformist’s sake. Howev-er, occasionally a mainstream movie comes along that is left open to interpretation.

Perhaps the most famous is 2001: A Space Odyssey (1968). Even today, it’s either beloved or detested, for its creeping pace as well as its curious, sensory-altering ending that thousands have taken a crack at solving. Even today, the film remains an enigma with plenty of guesses but no definitive answers.

Another movie, far less pop-ular but a film school regular and a bona fide “cult classic” is Mulholland Dr. (2001). Made by the wonderfully weird Da-vid Lynch, the movie is seen by many as incoherent. It’s not, but, like many of its ilk, Mul-

Nightcrawler like an old school 70’s crime dramaholland Dr. requires multiple viewings.

Is it a dream? If so, when does the dream begin? Or end? What’s with the little (literally) old couple? And that dumpster scene? Lynch, in a DVD extra, gave viewers some “things to watch for” to help them crack the movie. (One hint comes before the opening credits; an-other is a red lamp.) The clues likely caused more confusion than before, which is very Lyn-chian.

Then there’s Donnie Darko (2001) starring Gyllenhaal. It had the great misfortune of coming out just a month after 9/11 – and there’s a plane crash in it. The film disappeared from theaters but found a gigantic home audience.

The movie is very strange and, to boot, contains two fan-tastic music montages (to Tears for Fears’ “Head Over Heels” and Gary Jules’ “Mad World” [originally a Tears for Fears song (done very differently by the duo)]).

The picture is a mishmash of many genres, including time travel sci-fi, horror, mystery, and family drama. For years, fans de-bated Donnie Darko’s meaning.

Then, came a first: Direc-tor Richard Kelly released a special edition that explained everything. Fans were beside themselves that the creative ge-nius had dared to explain him-self. It was unheard of. Kelly not only dashed scores of long-pondered theories but raised the ire of so many.

Well, to get back to Night-walker, there’s not much of a weird movie connection, bar-ring the strangeness of Gyllen-haal’s character – it’s no Don-nie Darko, but his Louis Bloom is pretty bizarre.

The plotBloom is a strange fellow, a

thief who barely gets by stealing and reselling metal in seedy Los Angeles. A recluse who lives on the Internet for hours on end, he fancies himself a businessman,

thanks to the many “education-al” cyber-sites he has visited.

Late one night, he comes upon an accident and watches Joe Loder (Fort Worth’s Bill Paxton) jump out and film the carnage. After seeing the foot-age the next day on TV, Gyllen-haal is sure he can do the job.

With a cheap video camera, he manages to slowly build a reputation selling grisly foot-age to Nina (Rene Russo), the news director to the lowest rated TV station in town. Gyl-lenhaal eventually hires an “in-tern,” Rick (Riz Ahmed), and the duo becomes the top noc-turnal crime chasers – night-crawlers – in town.

Soon, Gyllenhaal has a fast car and, with his calm yet slightly menacing demeanor, he has Russo in a desperate sit-uation – she needs what he has.

But, in his quest to be first and goriest, Gyllenhaal begins bending the rules, first moving a bloody body so he can get a better shot, then beating even the police to a triple homicide where he films not only the bodies but the killers’ escape.

He decides to rig a meeting where the killers and the cops converge in a situation where he can film what will surely be a massacre. But will he get caught?

What worksGyllenhaal is seriously

weird. Every scene he’s in, he’s uncomfortable to watch. Yet

only once, does the violence he sometimes references actually surface, then only briefly.

Russo is also good. She’s quickly put into a compromis-ing situation – which Gyllen-haal, in a business and personal sense – quickly exploits. The scene where they go out on a “date” is full-bore unsettling, with Gyllenhaal’s bug eyes and skull-like grin and Russo’s sad knowledge that she knows where this relationship is going amping things up.

The film is an homage to those grainy ‘70’s movies, all the way down to the curi-ous resemblance Ahmed has to John Cazale from Dog Day Afternoon to the way the film

literally looks to the anti-hero plot where justice isn’t exactly served to the “city being a char-acter.”

Best sceneThe sequence where Gyllen-

haal has orchestrated the two killers arriving in a late-night Chinese restaurant and the ar-rival of two sets of cops steadi-ly builds tension.

Soon, the dread is thick: Four cops are in the diner and so are the killers as well as innocent customers – all the while Gyl-lenhaal and Ahmed are in posi-tion to film the entire encounter.

What doesn’t workWhat Gyllenhaal does to

Paxton to aid in the former’s ascension to top nightcrawler status is kinda dumb and really stretches belief.

The graphicness of the foot-age that runs on TV would sim-ply not be done, even today. The gore is too great.

Surely, in this techno age, Gyllenhaal would be easier to catch breaking laws on emer-gency scenes – which, in real life, no true nightcrawlers could ever get as close as they do in this movie.

The film has an anti-climac-tic chase and then another end-ing after that. It’s like watching

a Hobbit movie – it won’t end.

The ratingThere is a ton of bad lan-

guage here and enough gore to merit the R.

Summing upCertainly, Nightcrawler is an

adult, old school crime drama that won’t be for everyone. It’s rough and creates an uneasy atmosphere. But, for the right audience, it’ll be a hit. And no special director’s cut will be needed to explain what’s going on onscreen.

coverage of all your hometown news and sports on the web

by mark k. campbellAzle Manor is the home for

10 military veterans.B.J. Clark served in the Unit-

ed States Navy from 1945-47.He worked as a machinist

during World War II.In Azle, he used those skills

to open Clark’s Precision Ma-chine & Tool.

Prominent in community ser-

vice for decades, the B.J. Clark Building is named in his honor.

John Duran served in the Air Force from 1959-1964.

After retiring from full ser-vice, he remained a reserve and served 21 more years as a Se-nior Master Sergeant.

Jerry Robinson made two tours in Vietnam as a member of the Air Force from 1955-

1985.He retired as a Chief Master

Sergeant.Carl Noah grew up and at-

tended Azle schools.After enlisting in the Navy in

1955, he worked for two years in San Diego as an airplane me-chanic.

Using those skills in civil-ian life, he worked at General

Dynamics (now Lockheed-Martin) installing ejection seats into military planes until his re-tirement in 1999.

Fred Greener served in Naval Air from 1951-54.

Veterans Day 95 years old Recognition date originally called Armistice Day

by mark k. campbellWhen the “war to end all

wars” – WWI – finally came to an official end in June 1918, fighting had already stopped seven months before.

That was because a tempo-rary cessation of battle, an ar-mistice, had been signed back in November.

Since that cease-fire was be-gun on the “11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month,” November 11 was the day cho-sen by President Woodrow Wil-son to honor those who fought in the Great War.

Christened Armistice Day in November 1919, every No-vember 11 Americans acknowl-edged the great debt owed to so many.

Originally, businesses were to close briefly at 11 a.m. every November 11 as Armistice Day was recognized with parades and public meetings.

Already commemorated by 27 states, the day was officially sanctioned nationally on June 4, 1926 when Congress passed a resolution.

Twelve years later, on May 13, 1938, Armistice Day be-came an American legal holi-day, “a day dedicated to the cause of world peace” and re-membering the sacrifices of

WWI vets.But more wars were fought.With the coming of World

War II and the Korean War, Armistice Day was renamed Veterans Day on June 1, 1954; several veterans’ organizations pushed for the change.

November 11 became a day to honor veterans of all wars and conflicts.

In June 1968, the Uniform Holiday Bill was passed.

Veterans Day – with Wash-ington’s Birthday, Memorial Day, and Columbus Day – was moved to varying Mondays to give federal workers three-day holidays.

The date change was not wel-comed.

First tried October 25, 1971, there was confusion throughout the country.

In fact, many states did not honor the change at all and kept November 11 as the day they acknowledged as Veterans Day.

President Gerald Ford, see-ing the unpopularity of the Uniform Holiday Bill, signed a new law.

He saw that Americans placed importance on Novem-ber 11, historically and patrioti-cally.

So Ford, on September 25, 1975, moved Veterans Day of-

ficially back to November 11, a move that many state legisla-tures and service organizations supported.

Today, Veterans Day is hon-ored every November 11, re-

gardless of the day on which it falls, honoring veterans for their patriotism, love of coun-try, and willingness to sacri-fice and serve for the common good.

Hardin-Simmons University’s 2014 Homecoming Queen and King are Audrey Beth Heffington of Azle and Austin Ryan Hennesay of Springtown.

When Hardin-Simmons Uni-versity in Abilene crowned its 2014 Homecoming King and Queen Oct. 17, both Springtown and Azle were represented.

HSU’s 2014 Homecoming Queen is Audrey Beth Heffing-ton of Azle, a psychology major with a minor in Spanish who will graduate in May 2015.

Austin Ryan Hennesay of Springtown was named HSU’s 2014 Homecoming King. He is also a psychology major minor-ing in criminal justice.

Heffington is looking into graduate programs at Texas Woman’s University and the University of North Texas. She will be studying addiction, and

plans to become a clinical psy-chologist for drug and alcohol patients.

Heffington is the daughter of Cheryl Hopkins Swadley and Brad Swadley of Azle and Mark Heffington of Alexan-dria, Virginia. She is the grand-daughter of Kenneth and Char-lene Hopkins of Azle.

Hennesay plans to pursue a law degree at Texas Wesleyan University after graduating from HSU in May 2015.

He is the son of Tim Henne-say and Kim Bouldin, both of Springtown, and the grandson of Ron and Brenda Bredemey-er, Carl Hennesay, and Bill and Lajoy Goyne, all of Abilene.

By cARlA noAH StUtSmAnAlmost a year after Reno,

Azle and Springtown residents felt the jolt of the first-ever earthquake in the area, the Tex-as Railroad Commission (TRC) adopted amended rules directed at disposal well operations in areas of historical or future seismic activity.

On Tuesday evening, Nov. 5, 2013, the news spread quickly – the first known earthquake had occurred in the area.

That was big news in itself, since none had ever been re-corded in the tri-county area.

But that initial earthquake, 2.6 in magnitude, was just the be-ginning – they just kept coming.

On Tuesday, Nov. 19, several people attending a city council meeting at Azle City Hall dis-cussed the quakes as they wait-ed for the meeting to begin, and there were at least a couple who were not convinced the anoma-lies were, in fact, earthquakes.

They became believers at 6:40 p.m. that evening, when a 3.6 magnitude tremblor shook the entire building with a sud-den and very loud “bang.”

That quake was the 11th re-corded in the two weeks since they began. By the end of Janu-

ary 2014, there had been more than 30 quakes.

Commissioner David Porter came to Azle with TRC staff members Jan. 8 to host a Town Hall meeting to receive input from area residents about the series of earthquakes.

More than 800 people de-scended in the auditorium at Azle High School that evening, and most were already con-vinced that one or more injec-tion wells used to dispose of wastewater from oil and gas wells were to blame.

Shortly after that Town Hall meeting, the quakes stopped, just as suddenly and mysteri-ously as they had started.

But area citizens, along with the mayors of both Azle and Reno, took the fight for more regulation for disposal wells to Austin, where they testified before a special sub-committee created by the Texas House to look into seismic activity in the state.

In the meantime, research-ers from Southern Methodist University installed seismo-graphic equipment provided by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in the area and began tracking seismic activity.

The TRC hired its own seis-

mologist, Dr. David Craig Pear-son, in late March to explore the impact of seismic activity on gas and oil operations.

On Oct. 28, about a week shy of the one-year anniversary of the first Azle/Reno area quake, the TRC unanimously adopted disposal well rule amendments they say are designed to ad-dress disposal well operations in areas of historical or future seismic activity.

The main components of the adopted rule amendments, which become effective Nov. 17, are:

• requiring applicants for new disposal wells to conduct a search of the U.S. Geologi-cal Survey seismic database for historical earthquakes within a circular area of 100 square miles around a proposed, new disposal well;

• clarifying the Commis-sion’s staff authority to modify or suspend or terminate a dis-posal well permit, including modifying disposal volumes and pressures or shutting in a well if scientific data indicates a disposal well is likely to be or determined to be contributing to seismic activity;

• allowing Commission staff to require operators to disclose the current annually reported volumes and pressures on a more frequent basis if staff de-termines a need for this infor-mation; and

• allowing Commission staff to require an applicant for a disposal well permit to provide additional information, includ-ing pressure front boundary calculations, to demonstrate that disposal fluids will remain confined if the well is to be lo-cated in an area where condi-tions exist that may increase the risk that the fluids may not be confined.

Reno Mayor Lynda Stokes says she thinks the TRC’s adop-tion of amended rules is a step in the right direction, but hopes

the agency doesn’t stop there.“I appreciate the steps they

have taken, and that they moved as quickly as they have,” Stokes said. “I’m sure it’s exasperating for them – it seems to me they both promote and regulate the oil and gas in-dustry. I think they need to do one or the other.”

Alan Brundrett, Azle’s May-or, agreed with Stokes that the new rules are a good first step.

“While the rules could have been more strict, I believe they are adequate for the time be-ing,” Brundrett said. “The TRC did adopt a few of our sugges-tions which shows they did lis-ten to what we said.”

“They have been very good to work with – they stay in contact with me to inform me of any proposed new rules and they ask me for feedback,” he continued. “Overall I think the TRC has done a good job addressing our concerns and Rep. Phil King has been a big help with the whole earthquake situation.”
