the University Interscholastic League (UIL) cross-examination debate meet Feb. 5.

The SHS cross-examination team of Sarah Alvis and Josue Ramirez took home the runner-up trophy and quali-fied to compete at the state competi-tion March 15-17 at the University of Texas at Austin.

According to the Texas UIL web-site, the 2015 topic for cross-examina-tion was: Resolved – the Unites States federal government should substan-tially increase its nonmilitary explora-tion and/or development of the earth’s oceans.

In addition the team’s Lincoln-Douglas debaters – Tayler Berlin and Juliet David – will compete in their district meet later this month.

Debate is the longest running UIL contest, dating back to 1910.

BY NATALIE GENTRYMemorials, like Springtown’s War

Memorial at the corner of Walnut Creek Drive and Lake Drive, serve as more than just a way to pay homage to war heroes.

They also send important messages to future generations of who we are today and what values we hold dear.

While the War Memorial – dedicat-ed in November of 2011 – is the most current and permanent show of sup-port for our military in Springtown, it isn’t the first time the names of home-town service members have been hon-ored publicly.

VietnamIt’s common knowledge that the

war in Vietnam – which lasted from the mid-1950s until 1975 – was an un-popular conflict.

Two homemade signs find homes at Legends Museum

Stories abound of the rejection and even assaults those serving in the mili-tary faced when they returned home.

Vietnam veterans did not have the homecoming that service members returning from Iraq and Afghanistan receive today.

However, after the war several Springtown citizens organized and created a hand-painted sign to honor the men and women who served dur-ing that time.

“The group was led by Col. Russell Fellers,” said Legend Museum found-er and curator, Laurie Moseley. “They paid for it to be set up.”

The group gathered a total of 71 names and had each one painstakingly painted on the board– in Old English Script no less.

Moseley said, “After a few years the board was taken down and stored

at Col. Fellers home.“Several years ago it was found in

an old barn by a man working there and donated to the museum.”

Moseley asked the person keeping the museum open at the time to fresh-en up the names and make them read-able again.

undertaken again in 2003 when then-Mayor Barry Bobo asked Tom Clayton if he could create a “Wall of Honor” to recognize those serving in Iraq and Af-ghanistan.

Clayton began his efforts by placing an ad to collect names for the wall. “This process took years to complete,” Clay-ton said. “The wall has gone through several versions as we’ve gotten more names.”

Curiously, the dimensions of the new wall are the same as the Vietnam wall. The pieces look like a matching pair.

“We used vinyl letters on this wall,” Clayton said. “It’s a very tedious and time consuming process to get everything placed right. The people at Luck Ridge Signs did a great job.”

He also noted that the 75

names on the wall is probably not a comprehensive list; they are simply all the names he had received while the wall was up.

“I’m sure there are more peo-ple from Springtown serving,” Clayton said. “These are just all

the names that would fit.”After 10 years of standing on

the Tabernacle lawn, this wall was removed in 2013 and was later donated to the Legends Museum.

As U.S. troops continue to

serve our country and defend our freedom, memorials such as these walls of honor and the War Memorial remind us of the gratitude we owe our military and veterans of war.

Springtown has a history of

honoring and supporting its veterans – from creation of the Walls of Honor and the dedi-cation of the Springtown War Memorial to the designation of Springtown as a Purple Heart City.

Through these efforts Spring-town remains cognizant of the sacrifices the members of the U.S. military and their families have made and will continue to make for our country and com-munity.

The area got another round of the white stuff – mostly snow this time, about 2 inches – on Thursday, March 3. It didn’t hang around long as temperatures neared 60 degrees the next day. But the snow gave us one final look (hope-fully) of winter beauty; these pictures were shot at Springtown Park. Photos by Mark K. Campbell

It was a busy few days for Springtown Ath-letic Complex Facilities Director Carl Horn-back. He oversaw a pair of track meets – one loaded with middle school athletes March 3 and another a quickly-assembled high school meet March 6 – and, in be-tween, it snowed two inches. Both meets went off without hitches as the veteran Hornback – who travels throughout the U.S. helping with the complexities of de-tailed timing and organization of meets of all sizes – and his skilled cohort, Jared Dip-prey, keep things rolling along.

Douglas, who lives just outside Azle, received his Golden Ticket after auditioning in Nash-ville. He advanced through the group round to the Top 48, then into the Top 24. But in the first week of fan vot-ing, he didn’t get the necessary votes to advance to the Top 16. Photo by Michael Becker/FOX. © FOX Broadcasting Co.

Springfield lowers own

hurdling markby mark k. camPbeLL

In a hastily assembled track meet – dubbed the Springtown Washout – five Porcupine Sta-dium records were broken.

One of those was shattered by an SHS senior.

Dillon Springfield, who reached state in the event last year, lowered his own record in the 110-meter hurdling dis-tance.

The previous mark was 14.58 seconds. As he bested the field on March 6, Spring-field crossed the line in 14.47.

Two Aledo athletes lowered and raised track records.

Colby Caldwell set a new mark in the 800 with a time of 1:59.61 – the first time 2 min-utes had ever been broken.

Bearcat pole vaulter Blake Scott smashed the record pre-viously held by Porcupine Benji Brokenshire.

Scott cleared 15 feet, 6 inch-es, a foot higher than the earlier height.

Two relay marks were dashed: Keller Central dropped the 4x200 time to 1:29.92 and the Boswell 4x400 team ran 3:24.8, the fastest ever at SHS.

Both Springtown High soc-cer teams are playoff bound.

The SHS teams fought mightily with visiting Wichita Falls Hirschi Monday, March 9.

Both matches went into shootouts – Springtown fell in each case.

On Senior Night, the boys needed a Hirschi victory and a win over Decatur to claim the District 3-4A crown.

That first part almost hap-pened.

The Huskies led 1-0 with a first half goal.

But SHS tied the contest and perhaps had visions of winning another game like the Porcu-pines did in the literal final sec-onds against Burkburnett.

But the contest went into a shootout.

Both teams went 4-for-4 in the initial kicks. However, Springtown hit the post on kick five and lost the heartbreaker.

The Huskie win pulled Hirs-chi even with the Porcupines,

but the Wichita Falls school holds the tie-breaker advan-tage: head-to-head.

With 9 victories, the boys, under new coach Trent Davis, have won more games than in the last three seasons com-bined.

The girls game was just as exciting.

The Lady Huskies led early, but Springtown roared back to take the lead with a pair of goals, the second coming with just 7 minutes left.

Hirschi tied the contest, how-ever, with only a couple of min-utes remaining.

The visitors then won the shootout, 3-1.

Once again, Springtown powerlifting Coach Missy Cas-tro will head to Corpus Christi with some state qualifying Lady Porcupines.

At the Region 6, Division II regional event in Wylie, eight girls competed and four locked in state berths March 20-21.

Two girls were crowned re-gional champions.

Martha Chavez, competing in the 165-pound class, lifted a combined total of 825 pounds in the squat (360), bench (195), and deadlift (270).

She was joined as a regional champ by Tabi Rogers who, in the 198 class, finished with 930 pounds (405/185/340).

Two other Lady Porcupines finished second in the region

and will lift one more time.Ali Roglin was the runner-

up in the 105 class with 565 (220/110/235).

In the 220 class, Sydney Counts finished second with 875 (375/165/335).

Also competing were two SHS girls who finished fourth – Kati Roglin at 105, lifting 490 pounds (180/90/220) and Jill Rutherford at 148 lifting 695 (295/140/260).

Molly Gideon took fifth in the 123 class with 565 pounds (205/95/265) and, in the same weight class, Taylor Ervin finished sixth with 560 (215/95/250).

A former Lady Porcupine, Melissa Perrone, competing at 165 pounds, holds Region 6,

Division II records in the squat at 380 and bench at 170; she set those marks last year.

In the team competition, Springtown finished second with 29 points, behind Princ-eton’s 31.

In the boys regional event, a trio of Porcupines placed.

Springtown’s top finisher was Jesse Springfield.

In the 275-pound class, Springfield lifted a total of 1,345 pounds (550/285/510) to finish fourth in the region.

Two Porcupines took eighth.Martine Medina, competing

in the 220 class, tallied 1,200 pounds (450/250/500).

In the 165 group, Jarrod Nelson moved 1,065 pounds (415/235/415).

On the road between icy weather systems, the Lady Por-cupine softball squad won at Argyle, 11-1.

Kayla White had a game to remember.

Not only was she the win-ning pitcher, tossing a 2-hitter, she went 4-for-4 at the plate,

including 3 doubles, and batted home a quartet of teammates.

Kaitlyn Hill put up four 2’s – 2 at bats, 2 runs scored, 2 hits (including a triple), and 2 runs batted in.

Ekko Hurst belted a home run and had 3 RBI while Jas-mine Ricks scored 3 times.

Springtown finished with 11 hits and 8 stolen bases, 3 by Gabby Casanova and White and 2 by Ricks.

The Lady Porcupines took advantage of 11 walks.

Springtown bolted out early with 3 runs in the first and 2 in the third inning.

by mark k. camPbeLLThe all-weather playing

surface in Glen Rose came in handy when a snowstorm messed with Springtown’s plans for a tournament there.

The Porcupines eventually got in 4 games, going 2-2.

The event opened with a 2-0 loss for SHS, to Tolar.

Both teams managed just 4 hits each, but Springtown committed 5 miscues and that thwarted a solid pitching effort by Jake Jordan who went all 6 innings.

Catarino Hernandez had 2 hits for the Porcupines.

The next day, March 7, the Porcupines played three times.

First, SHS defeated Carroll-

ton Ranchview, 5-4.A final inning run gave

Springtown the win after Ranchview rallied from a 4-0 deficit.

Hernandez hurled 3 innings and Logan McPherson pitched 2 in the victory.

Garrett Mauldin led hitters with a trio of safeties.

Next, the Porcupines dis-patched the hosts, 6-2.

This time it was SHS that came from behind; Springtown trailed 2-1 heading into the top of the sixth.

That’s when the Porcupines sent five runners across the plate.

Dylan Waddle and McPher-son split the pitching duties,

each tossing 3 innings.The latter fanned 5 Tigers.In the tourney finale, Brown-

wood edged Springtown, 3-2.Hernandez struck out 4 in his

3 innings.Raul Medina tossed 1-2/3 in-

nings.At the plate, Russell Gideon,

Hernandez, and Mauldin all hit

safely.The Porcupines move from

one tournament to another, playing at Henrietta through Spring Break.

A quintet of Porcupines com-peted in an elite tournament held at TCU’s McLeland Ten-nis Center.

The doubles duo of Jerry Lillo-Jordan Neeley won the bronze after “clawing their way back from behind and pulling out a very tight, competitive match,” coach Ron Elston not-ed. Who did Lillo-Neeley beat?

Teammates Trey Skaggs-Ryan Snow; that twosome fin-ished fourth.

Springtown’s other competi-tor was Amber Benton.

After barely losing in her opening match, she “stormed back” through the bracket to win the consolation girls sin-gles bronze medal.

The

On February 10, 1879, Elizabeth Lydia Farmer Woody passed away in northeast Parker County.

Her husband, Wil-liam D., owned 320 acres in the val-ley of Walnut Creek. He buried her in what he called “his field,” which en-compassed a small early pioneer cem-etery. She is buried in the northeastern quadrant of William’s field. Elizabeth would be the first Woody family mem-ber to be buried in what is now called “Veal Station Cemetery.”

On the morning of October 25, 1892, 62-year-old Capt. William G. Veal – for whom Veal Station was named and who was residing in Fort Worth – was fatally shot in the temple by a prominent Dallas businessman Dr. R. H. Jones.

Capt. Veal was attending the Con-federate Reunion of Texas at the Dallas

Fair Grounds where he was the presid-ing officer. Dr. Jones, a Confederate surgeon in the 27th Alabama, was also in attendance. When asked for a state-ment regarding the reason for why he killed Capt. Veal, he replied, “It is a delicate matter concerning my wife.”

Capt. Veal – early pioneer Method-ist minister, Confederate Civil War of-ficer, mercantile owner, and Masonic Mason – was buried in Trinity Cem-etery also known as historic Oakwood Cemetery in Fort Worth.

Dr. R.H. Jones was tried in Dallas County and convicted of first degree murder and sentenced to life in Hunts-ville Penitentiary. However, the murder conviction was sent to the Criminal Court of Appeals in Texas and reversed.

In 1897, a second murder trial of Dr. Jones was convened. It so happened that Charles Lorenzo Woody, son of George Preston Woody and Grand-

son of William D., was the as-sistant district attorney for Dallas County. Charles was assigned to be the lead pros-ecutor in the second mur-der trial of Dr. Jones.

Capt. Veal was a life-long friend and confidante of Charles L.

Woody. Despite Charles’ devotion and personal admiration for Capt. Veal, he represented the facts in the case and the jury found Dr. Jones again guilty of first-degree murder and sentenced him to 20 years in the Huntsville Penitentiary.

Afterward, Dr. R. H. Jones and his attorneys spent many years overturn-ing convictions until the conviction of manslaughter was decided and a two-year term in Huntsville was served.

George Preston’s son, Joseph Cas-ner Woody, was born on June 29, 1880 in Cottondale, Wise County. He is the brother of Charles Lorenzo Woody. Jo-seph C. graduated from the Springtown Male and Female Institute – located in Veal’s Station in 1894 – at the age of 14 due to his father’s premature death.

Two decades, after his marriage to Clota May Kutch, he and his brother-in-law, Jefferson Davis Kutch, in-corporated a livestock commission company business named the Woody-Kutch Live Stock Commission Com-pany on January 2, 1923. The com-pany was housed in the Live Stock Exchange Building also referred to as the “Wall Street of the West” in the

historic Fort Worth Stockyards. The Woody-Kutch Live Stock Com-

mission Company thrived and pros-pered for almost 40 years selling cat-tle, sheep, and hogs at the stockyards.

Known affectionately as “Grandpa Joe,” his prosperity in business en-abled him to acquire substantial farm, ranch and land holdings in northeast Parker County. Those holdings includ-ed several dairy farms, cattle ranches, goats and poultry.

Joseph C. Woody, prominent Parker County cattle rancher, businessman, and entrepreneur passed away on No-vember 21, 1950 in northeast Parker County, at age 70. Grandpa Joe and Grandma Clota May Kutch Woody are buried in Mount Olivet Cemetery in Fort Worth.

HISTORICALHIGHLIGHTS

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

director of Springtown’s Legends Museum.

Dear Editor,According to the Fort Worth Star-

Telegram, in an effort to fight legisla-tion from limiting local government control, a group called Local Control Texas has been formed.

Rep. Phil King recently targeted fracking bans saying they threaten something all Texans cherish: private property rights.

King’s bottom line is that the local bans on fracking are “big govern-ment” in action because environ-mental groups from D.C., New York, and San Francisco poured resources into accomplishing the fracking ban in Denton. In my opinion, environ-mental groups aren’t “big govern-ment.”

LCT is fighting to keep local or-dinances governing payday loans, smoking in public spaces, housing rules, plastic bags, distracted driving, and tree preservation.

They ask the legislature to refrain from hindering local governments’ abilities to serve the interest of their residents.

And they are getting some support from unlikely people. To name a few, Darren Hodges, Fort Stockton’s Tea Party mayor; Lanham Lyne, former Republican state representative and mayor from Wichita Falls who runs an oil and gas exploration business; and

Dear Letters Editor:On D-Day, General Eisenhower did

not tell his troops that we were going to defeat the Nazis so that we could cooperate with them.

The order Eisenhower gave was to rid the earth of Hitler, his band of murderous thugs, and everything they stood for.

In the November elections, America gave the Republicans a mandate to stop Obama and the Democrats from wreck-ing this country, and we expect this car-nage to be stopped and reversed.

We now hear Republicans say that they want to cooperate with Obama so that he will move to the middle.

Americans don’t want to hear this nonsense because Obama is a leftist who hates our Constitution and delib-erately circumvents it. Robert A. Dahlquist Orange, California

Old man math

Whenever I catch myself sounding like a grumpy, get-off-my-lawn old man, I pause and think of my

dad.He died nine years ago this July.

As a kid, of course, I thought he was the most out-of-touch human on earth with his crewcut and, as a WW II vet, an unwavering hawk mental-ity. (You would never convince him that Viet-nam was a mis-take.)

So, naturally, I came home from college at semester break in 1974 with long hair and many a reason why that war perhaps wasn’t the greatest idea.

And, of course, I swore I would nev-er turn out like my dad.

Anyway, whenever I find myself today echoing Dad’s words from de-cades ago, I pause and do some math.

I think: “OK, I hate this; I wonder where dad was on this issue at my age.” Then I do the math.

For instance, today’s popular music is terrible. And, when I was young in the late ‘60s and ‘70s, that’s just what dad said about my music.

In 1969 when I was 13, I remember trying constantly to find a Beatles song he might like. (“Honey Pie” seemed the best bet.) It never happened – he hated all modern “long-haired hippie music.”

So, when I find myself complain-ing about today’s crappy music, I do the math.

Dad was born in 1924 so he was 45 in 1969. I was 45 in 2001 with a pair of teenage daughters.

I was determined to remain the cool dad by being hip with my kids’ music.

But, as Grandpa Simpson once said, “I used to be with it, but then they changed what ‘it’ was. Now, what I’m with isn’t ‘it,’ and what’s ‘it’ seems weird and scary to me. It’ll happen to you...”

D’oh! It sure did.Looking back on 2001 when I began

unravelling as the cool dad, I hated all the songs on the radio.

Shaggy? Ja Rule? Creed? 112? 3LW? Trick Daddy? Songs like “I’m a Thug” and “Hemorrhage (In My Hands)” – that ain’t music!

So, dad, today I see where you were coming from when you were 45. I did the math.

A trio of powerful state senators, along with Lt. Gov. Dan Pat-rick, on March 5 jointly an-

nounced the filing of legislation they coauthored to cut taxes and pay off state debt.

Patrick, who presides over the 31-member Senate, Senate Finance Chair Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound; Senate Busi-ness & Commerce Chair Kevin Eltife, R-Tyler; and Senate Fi-nance Vice Chair Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa, D-McAllen, each de-livered brief statements.

Patrick said the state con-stitution limits spending to no more than the growth of the Texas economy and appropria-tions intended to cut taxes or reduce state debt also count against the spending cap. The legislation, in the form of a bill and a joint resolution, if passed and signed into law, would al-low voters to decide whether or not to exempt tax cuts and debt

payments from the state’s con-stitutional spending limit.

“Debts today become tax-es tomorrow,” Hinojosa ex-plained. “As Texans we pride ourselves as a pay-as-you-go-state, but in the past 12 years our state and local debt has skyrocketed. As responsible stewards of taxpayer dollars we need to rein in our depen-dence on debt and get serious about paying off our current outstanding debt. Exempting appropriations for tax relief and debt relief from the spending cap will free up more dollars for critical areas like education and infrastructure in the state budget without busting the con-stitutional spending cap.”

The legislation has been sent to the Senate Finance Com-mittee for consideration, and companion bills have been filed in the House by state Rep. Jim Keffer, R-Eastland.

Transportation bills passOn votes of 28-2, the Sen-

ate ten-t a t i v e l y approved two mea-sures in-tended to increase transpor-t a t i o n funding.

C o m -m i t t e e S u b s t i -tute Sen-ate Bill 5 and Sen-ate Joint R e s o l u -

tion 5 by Transportation Com-mittee Chair Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, would let vot-ers decide whether to approve a split in the state motor vehicle sales tax. The bills have moved to the House for consideration.

As CSSB 5 is presently worded, the first $2.5 billion in that class of revenue would go into general revenue and the next $2.5 billion would be

dedicated to the Texas Depart-ment of Transportation. Further revenue collected by the state would be split so the comptrol-ler would deposit 50 percent to the State Highway Fund, 30 percent to the general rev-enue fund and 20 percent to the Available School Fund.

Sens. Rodney Ellis, D-Hous-ton, and Kirk Watson, D-Austin, cast votes in opposition. In an excerpt from a longer statement explaining his vote, Ellis said, “Dedicated funds are poor pub-lic policy simply because they limit flexibility. This year a criti-cal need may not be as critical next year, and funding cannot follow problems. By constitu-tionally dedicating this funding, we are creating a new multi-billion dollar hole that is going to be difficult to fill during years when the budget is tight.”

Unemployment rate fallsTexas’ seasonally adjusted

unemployment rate fell to 4.4 percent in January down from

4.6 percent in December 2014, the U.S. Bureau of Labor Sta-tistics announced last week.

Texas Workforce Commis-sion on March 6 reported the adding of 20,100 seasonally ad-justed non-farm jobs in January for a total increase of 392,900 jobs over the year. “We are pleased to see that the growth of jobs in our state is continu-ing,” said Andres Alcantar, chair of the Texas Workforce Commission.

Texas employers added 20,100 jobs including growth in nine of 11 major industries in January, which is a great testa-ment to the strength and resil-ience of our economy and labor market, Alcantar said.

Hope Andrade, commis-sioner representing employ-ers with the Texas Workforce Commission, added, “The lat-est labor market data indicates that Texas is approaching the 12 million jobs milestone, with 11,769,600 jobs now in Texas. Employers continue to propel

Texas on a path paved with growth and innovation.”

DPS increases enforcementTexas Department of Public

Safety on March 6 announced an increase in DWI patrols from March 7 to March 22.

State troopers will focus on high-risk locations at times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent and in areas with high concentrations of Spring Break activity.

During last year’s Spring Break enforcement period, state troopers made 1,389 DWI arrests, some 18,886 speed-ing citations, 3,343 seat belt/child safety seat tickets and about 23,600 other citations. Also, state troopers made 861 fugitive arrests and 728 felony arrests during the period, the agency reported.

HIGHLIGHTSEd Sterling

Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services

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

Getting older is an interesting trip. Notice, I did not say “old” or “ma-ture.” I am in

denial about the first and ill equipped for the second. So, we'll stay with the concept of the jour-ney toward an undis-closed and undefined destination (the “older” part...I am certain about my ul-timate destination).

Part of this getting older thing is be-coming acquainted with more and more doctors. In fact, I started writing this column about one doctor while I was waiting in the office of another doctor. I'm actually healthier right now than I have been in several years, but I have more doctors with whom an an-nual checkup is necessary. A few years back, I had my first skin cancer removed, so now the dermatologist is a part of the annual schedule.

So this year at his office (I'm sure that HIPAA laws prohibit me from mentioning “his” name), I learned that I had a couple of pre-cancerous lesions

Lessons from a dermatologist appt.

that had to have the old freeze-off. Other than that, I'm looking good and I'll be back to see him in February of 2016. So, all that was good news and hardly column-worthy.

Here's the cool experience that I had for the first time. I got

an email reminder a few days in advance of my appointment. Nothing new there. But in the email was a link to all the nec-essary forms – you know, the ones that take 30 minutes to fill out – that I could download and fill out in advance and bring them with me to the appointment.

This brought up one important question: Why in

heaven's name doesn't every doctor's office do this? I mean it! Really! How cool would it be do all that at home where all your information is handy and you can complete the task when it is convenient for you?

So, here are the lessons I learned:

1. I have a much higher re-gard for this office because they considered how to eliminate some of the frustrations of my visit.

2. It was an obvious win for me, but it was also a win for them that I came prepared.

3. My anxiety level was low-ered because I wasn’t met with unanticipated expectations.

4. I am even more likely to recommend this office to my friends than I was before.

5. It made enough of an im-pression on me that I am writ-ing about it in this public fo-rum.

So what if we operated our churches, organizations, and businesses that way? This is not as much about “customer” service as it is about eliminat-ing barriers to effective com-munication and relationships by streamlining tedious, but necessary, processes.

What if life had fewer “hoops” to jump through? What if I made it my goal to eliminate hoops for others? What if I decided I wanted to get “wiser” while I am getting “older?”

I think all of that matters to God.

I’m still holding out on the “mature” part.

CHAPPiEHip-hop robot

Starring: Sharlito Copley, Dev Patel, Hugh Jackman, NinjaDirected by: Neill BlomkampRated R: language, gory violence, gangsta posing yo!

... on a scale of 1-105

Thursday, March 12, 2015 Springtown EpigraphMovie Man10A

Despite massive advance publicity, Chappie underper-formed substantially at the box office. That’s because it’s not that hot. Still, its director, Neill Blomkamp, is the owner of not one but two exceedingly rare Movie Man freak facts.

About the film

(Well, really, this is nothing “about the film” Chappie. It’s a quick trip through the upper regions of Movie Man history.)

Chappie is Movie Man No. 1,129; the Movie Man arrived in the summer of 1993, appeared sporadically then became an es-sential read a few years later and now has been for decades.

Of those 1,129 movies there have been only 21 rated as a 9. (There is no such thing as a 10 – only Movie Wife resides there.)

Actually, there have been a few other 9’s – but the Movie Man doesn’t count rereleases like the original Star Wars trilo-gy, E.T.: The Extra-Terrestrial, and the awesome Citizen Kane.

Subtracting 42 essays through the years and the five reissues, the actual total of new reviews is 1,082. (Don’t worry – the Movie Man will continue to do the math for you.) Divid-ed by the number of 9’s – 21 – the Movie Man passes out that elite rating every 51.5 weeks or…about once per year.

So it’s mighty rare atmo-sphere for a movie to be deemed a 9 – and Blomkamp has that distinction with MM #838 back in 2009, District 9.

Blomkamp also has the ex-tremely rare distinction of earn-ing a 9 and not being pegged as Best of Year. In 2009, that hon-or went to the Star Trek reboot (MM #824).

The only other movies that have been crowned with 9’s yet not been Best of Year: 1994 – Schindler’s List (MM #22) lost out to Forrest Gump (MM #33); 1997 – The Fifth Element (MM #180) fell to Contact (MM #189); 1999 – The Green Mile (MM #317) was topped by Toy Story 2 (MM #315); 2000

– Fantasia 2000 (MM #320) lost to The Grinch (MM #377 – that’s right! The Grinch!); 2001 – Lord of the Rings (MM #435) could not unseat Shrek (MM #405); and in 2012 the Movie Man gave the nod to Life of Pi (MM #1011) over The Hunger Games (MM #975).

The plot

Deon (Dev Patel who had the rare distinction [it’s quite a Movie Man this week for rare distinctions] of being in a pair of movies that opened the same weekend since he’s also in The Second Best Exotic Marigold Hotel) is a genius who has built a robotic police force – known as “Scouts” – that has drastically reduced crime in the near-future.

However, his ultimate goal is to create consciousness in a robot. Patel’s rival, Vincent (Hugh Jackman), has designed a rival to Patel’s cop ‘bots with a much larger, more violent robotic creation, “the Moose.” But their boss, Bradley (Sigour-ney Weaver), chose Patel’s work. Still Jackman constantly pitches his Moose to her.

Patel succeeds in writing a program that will give his ro-bots the ability to feel. Unfor-tunately, he gets kidnapped by a trio of criminals. Patel’s only recourse is to put his newly-created consciousness chip into

a damaged Scout. It works, but the new Scout – “Chap-pie” (Sharlito Copley) – must be taught to “grow up.” So, with the thieves, Chappie gets a gangsta upbringing.

Meanwhile, Jackman discov-ers Patel’s Chappie and shuts down all the police Scouts which causes massive may-hem. Finally, Jackman’s Moose is called into action, first in the city then to destroy Chappie.

What works

The special effects are the big thing in Chappie. As with the fantastic District 9, everything looks so realistic that even the unbelievable is taken in stride. Chappie, with an ever-draining battery, is cool to see and watch

(but there’s one problem – see “What doesn’t work”).

Two of the three low level crimi-nal kidnappers are the popular Eu-ropean “alternative rap” act Die Antwoord – male Ninja and female Yo-Landi Visser. They are freaky and over-the-top, yet it works for these near-comic criminals.

Best scene

Chappie is slowly learning and Patel gives him a children’s book about a black sheep. One night, the robot is in bed with “Mommy” – Visser – and she

reads and explains the book to him, about how some sheep/people are different. A tatted-out rapper mother reading to a big kid robot in bed – could there be two more societal out-casts? – is so far out there that somehow the scene ends up be-ing touching.

What doesn’t work

While Chappie is a CG won-der, a majority of his speaking is difficult to understand. It’s very frustrating.

The movie is herky-jerky. When it’s good, it’s a wonder. But often it seems rudderless. Ninja is an enemy, then quickly “Daddy” and that transition is awkward. The movie lacks the flow and excitement that made District 9 so memorable.

This is the worst acting the Movie Man has ever seen from Jackman (and the Movie Man is a fan). Weaver is barely in Chappie, and she’s not great, either.

The score – which includes some tunes from Die Antwoord as well as plenty of electronic music – is too loud and ill-fitting.

The ending is frustrating. It

goes from being a home run to belaboring the twist. That was a bummer.

The rating

The movie gets its R for language – including profani-ties scrawled on walls in many places – and some gory vio-lence. It’s moderately hard.

Summing up

Chappie is a disappointment. Like too many sci-fi movies

lately, it looks good but the sto-ry line/plot just doesn’t match (i.e., Jupiter Ascending [MM #1125, 3]).

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANThe sleet and snow had al-

ready started falling by the time I got to the office Friday, Feb. 27, and all my co-workers were a little anxious about getting home before the roads got too bad.

The decision was made to close the office well before noon, and everyone left but me.

I had work to finish, but hon-estly, I couldn’t wait to carry on a long-standing tradition.

We call it “slickin’” in our family.

Historically, anytime the roadways got icy, Dad would load us kids into the car and we headed straight for the old Diamond parking lot. Ex-pert driver that he was, he took us whirling and twirling on the icy parking lot and delighted to hear our cack-les and squeals of glee from the back seat.

After we were grown, we seemed to gravitate toward Dad’s house at the first hint of ice with the hope of going slickin’.

It wasn’t all just fun and games: Dad taught us seri-ous ice-driving skills on those slickin’ outings.

Now, my husband the police officer frowns upon his wife and in-laws goin’ slickin’ on the Diamond parking lot, but I still enjoy getting out onto the

Goin’ slickin’icy roads.

I stayed in the office until Main Street was hardly distin-guishable, covered in a couple of inches of white stuff.

Before I made it out of the parking lot after 1 p.m., I’d tak-en some photos of Main Street and of the snow clumping on the graceful arcs of pink muhly grass at the entrance to the of-fice.

I headed up Boyd Road, then east to Shady Grove Park and got some shots of a snow-cov-ered stream where it entered

the woods, empty snow-topped picnic benches on a white beach, and snow falling on the dry lake bed.

The shots were pretty, I guess, but they weren’t what I was looking for.

I found it on my way out of the park.

I don’t know if they were a family, friends, or both. But a man and half a dozen kids were near the slope leading away from the park’s playground and they were doing an entirely dif-

ferent kind of slickin’ than the kind I was used to.

Using orange plastic tub lids – one boy even used a water ski – they were having a blast sledding down the slope. Their brightly colored winter gear stood out against the white landscape.

Sometimes they rode their “sled” alone, and sometimes, they piled on, two or three at a time.

The lone adult there was clearly looking after their safety and well-being, but I watched

him wind up and sling them down that slope, adding addi-tional speed and spin that made their ride even more fun.

Their peals of laughter took me back to my childhood and the icy back roads – and Diamond park-ing lot – where some of the most exhilarat-ing times of my

life were spent.I’ve since learned the name

of the young girl in the photo. My lens caught Anna Preston in mid-spin, hair flying behind her as she spiraled toward the level ground that would stop her.

It does my heart good to see families and friends enjoying the relative rarity of ice and snow here in Texas.

I guess you could say the family that goes slickin’ togeth-er...well, you fill in the blank.

BY MARK K. CAMPBELLIt doesn't snow around here

often so we try to take advan-tage when it does to get some unique photos.

On Thursday, March 5 we got a couple of inches of snow.

I headed for Walnut Creek on the east side of Springtown Park.

The snow was already melt-ing, but I was hoping to get a shot of the flowing creek re-flecting the sun with snow cov-ered banks.

I walked passed the Spring-town War Memorial, pausing to snap a couple of photos with snow lightly drifted against the slabs’ bases.

Then I ventured toward the creek. It was mushy and pro-tected by dead grasses and grapevines. I crunched past them and carefully dropped down to the creekside.

The photos taken there were OK but not as great as I had en-visioned.

I crawled back up the bank and battled through the plant debris – that filled my shoes and stuck to my pants.

Suddenly, I was on the back side of the War Memorial.

I had never seen it from this angle and the p e r s p e c t i v e stopped me in my tracks.

The morn-ing was per-fectly still and cold. The trio of slabs looked like soldiers, surrounded by trees and snow and flags.

Then there was the sky that

A new look on a cold day

turned bluer and bluer.Sometimes you see things in

person that just can't be cap-tured on film. Full moons and mountains and expansive can-yons are like that.

Where I stood was somehow reverent and awe-inspiring – also tough to get a shot of.

I took several pictures. Some showed too much of the nearby neighborhood and others were too tight.

But I liked this one – shot squatting down – with its bare trees, gentle snow, silent stones, and the blue sky going on forever.

It spoke of the quiet beauty of the memorial, the slabs a tes-tament of yesterday, today, and tomorrow, amid the solemnity of sacrifice and duty and honor.

The stories behind the

BY NATALIE GENTRYWith the advent of spring

comes preparation for the gar-dening season.

One preparatory event gar-den enthusiasts might consider attending is a free, hands-on drip irrigation workshop for vegetable gardens presented by the Parker County Master Gardeners at 10 a.m. Saturday, March 21.

The class will be held at the Azle Campus of Teen Chal-lenge, 1099 Flat Rock Road south of Azle.

During the presentation, par-ticipants will learn how to in-stall three types of drip irriga-tion.

They will also have the op-portunity to help install drip ir-rigation in the kitchen garden at the Azle Teen Challenge Cam-

Drip irrigation workshop offered Mar. 21

pus.According to www.Texas-

Gardener.com drip irrigation is an efficient and economical method of watering commonly in regions with scarce water resources – and this area re-mains in the grip of a lengthy drought.

This irrigation method typi-cally allows more than 90 per-cent of the water applied to be available to the plants as com-pared to 50-60 percent with sprinklers.

The workshop is sponsored by Texas A&M AgriLife Exten-sion Service, the Parker County Master Gardener Association, the Gardener’s Club of Parker County, and the Azle Campus of Teen Challenge and is open to anyone.

Safeguarding your family in

Church hosting Emergency Preparedness Fairthe event of a natural disaster is crucial.

The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, located at 1010 Timberoaks Drive in Azle, will host an Emergency Pre-paredness Fair from 12 noon-4 p.m. Saturday, March 21.

The fair is open to the public and admission is free. The event will feature treats cooked up in the parking lot to demonstrate al-ternative cooking methods to use when electricity is not available.

Azle Fire Chief Will Scott will be on hand to educate par-ticipants and to man a first aid station throughout the event.

Scott, who is also the Emer-gency Management Coordinator

for Azle, will share the wisdom he’s accumulated during his years of service – like what to expect from nature in our area, what we can expect from public assistance, and how to prepare ourselves and our families now.

Other topics to help you and your family survive during a natural disaster will be taught and demonstrated throughout the afternoon.

Twelve tools will ensure that your family survives and thrives no matter what the ele-ments throw our way.

Those 12 tools: shelter, wa-ter, communication, food, tem-perature control, power, light, first aid, sanitation, a binder, tools, and cooking and each will be presented in some way during the fair.

You’ll get instructions for how to start with a survival kit that covers each of the 12 tools.

Get started now on spring cleaningWarmer temperatures and

longer hours of sunlight can recharge energy levels. Upon the arrival of spring, home-owners dust off their to-do lists and charge ahead with re-newed vigor.

But before homeowners can get started on renovation proj-ects, many must tame the ex-isting mess that may have built up over the winter. Spring is a great time to dive into spring cleaning projects and ready a home for a season of renova-tion and remodeling.

Getting started on spring cleaning can be a tad over-whelming. In 2012, OnePoll asked 1,000 adults living in the United Kingdom how they felt about spring cleaning, and 41 percent of those surveyed found spring cleaning a daunt-ing process while 68 percent had negative feelings about spring cleaning. But in spite of that initial lack of enthu-siasm, respondents said they felt happy and more organized once they finished their spring cleaning. Establishing a plan and setting reachable goals can make spring cleaning a lot less daunting.

• Set aside several days for spring cleaning. A long week-end is a great time to do some spring cleaning, as having consecutive days to clean will reduce the chances you grow distracted.

• Make a list and purchase all of the supplies you will

need. Again, this will help you stay on course, rather than go-ing out to the store to pick up cleaners or organizational sys-tems.

• Try to set reasonable goals. Even if you hope to clean the entire house, stick to the one or two rooms that are most desperate for your attention. Divide each task into a series of steps so when you complete each step you will feel proud that you’re making progress.

• Create your musical playl-ist. A playlist full of your fa-vorite songs can provide some inspiration and energy to push you through the spring clean-ing when your enthusiasm starts to wane. The music also may take your mind off of the work ahead and help to pass the time.

• Start from the top and work downward. Follow a logical cleaning order. Begin by dust-ing away cobwebs and lighting fixtures. Clean light switches and walls. Empty closets and then restock them in a more organized fashion. Leave the furniture and flooring for last, as dirt and dust may accumu-late on furniture and flooring as you clean other areas of the home.

• Be prepared to bid adieu to some of your stuff. Have a few trash bags at the ready. Reorga-nize items you won’t be keep-ing into separate piles, with one pile for items you plan to donate and another for those

items you will discard. Donate what you can and promptly put the remainder of the items at the curb for pickup.

• Stay fed and hydrated.

Cleaning can be physically and emotionally exhausting. Take breaks to fuel up on food and always have a refreshing beverage close by.

Mother Nature is consistently inconsistent these days, when 30-degree Mondays might be followed by 60-degree Tues-days. Fickle weather is often ac-companied by large fluctuations in temperature, strong storms and unseasonable conditions, making it difficult for homeown-ers to maintain comfort levels in their homes.

As a result of fluctuating tem-peratures, home heating and cooling systems have been heav-ily taxed. Growing reliance on HVAC systems has also driven up energy bills, as moderate weather synonymous with spring has given way to more days of extreme heat or extreme cold. As

summer approaches once again, reducing cooling costs is a prior-ity for many homeowners. The following are a few ways to cool your home’s interior without causing a spike in your energy bill.

• Reduce sun exposure. Much of the hot air inside of a home can be attributed to sunlight ex-posure throughout the day. Walls and windows on the south and west sides of a home will bear the brunt of the sun’s rays, so close shades and drapes on this side of the house to maximize coolness. Shades and curtains can save you up to 7 percent on your bills and lower indoor temperatures by up to 20 degrees. Homeowners also

may want to think about install-ing a retractable awning in areas of the house that get a lot of sun. Planting shade trees is another way to naturally cool down hot sides of the house.

• Draw more air into the attic. Hot air rises, and in the sum-mertime hot air can get trapped beneath the roof in the attic and eaves of a home. While an attic should have vents, homeowners can speed up the exchange of hot air with a simple trick. Open up a window on a shady side of the home, and then open the at-tic door or take out the access panel and place a box fan inside to blow air up into the attic. This will disperse the hot air and help force it out through the vents.

• Use fans productively. Using box fans to suck cool night air in from east- and north-facing win-dows and to push out hot air from west- and south-facing windows is another way to increase cir-culation through a home. Run-ning fans may be less costly than turning on air conditioners. Also, set ceiling fans to rotate counter-clockwise. This will pull cooler air up from the floor and create a wind-chill effect.

• Switch to LED or CFL bulbs. Ninety percent of the energy used for incandescent bulbs is emitted as heat. This not only

wastes electricity but also can make conditions hotter inside a home. Switch to cooler, more ef-ficient light bulbs.

• Reduce humidity levels. Hu-midity makes hot temperatures feel even hotter. Clean laundry, take showers and run the dish-washer at night or early in the morning before the day heats up. Don’t forget to vent bathrooms and kitchens by turning on ex-haust fans when water is in use.

• Rely on a programmable thermostat. Setting a thermostat to adjust the air conditioning sys-tem automatically means home-owners can keep the temperature raised when they’re not home and then have it lowered shortly before they arrive home. The thermostat also can adjust tem-peratures for day and night use.

• Keep doors closed. Do not cool rooms that are unused. Maximize the cool air in lived-in spaces by blocking off rooms that do not need to be cooler.

• Invest in more insulation. Insulation does not just keep homes warmer in the cold weath-er. Insulation also prevents hot air from infiltrating living spaces while keeping cooler air where it’s needed. Sealant around win-dows and doors also will prevent unnecessary air exchange.

Ceiling fans can help cool a home more efficiently when fan blades spin in the right direction for the season.
