Rainy April
BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANWhether you’re more inclined to
pray for rain or do a rain dance, chanc-es are recent precipitation has encour-aged you to double up on your efforts.
Eagle Mountain Lake was 10.5 feet low in February, but between April rains and the resumption of pumping via the pipeline from East Texas lakes, almost half of that deficit has been re-covered in the past six weeks.
On Tuesday, April 28, Tarrant Re-gional Water District officials reopened the boat launch at Twin Points and say they are optimistic about keeping it open throughout the summer.
The launch, touted as the deepest one on EML, was closed in Septem-ber 2014 when water levels were so low launching a boat there became impossible.
“The rainfall over the last week, combined with our pumping efforts, have made a significant impact on Eagle Mountain's lake level,” TRWD
With lake rising, Twin Points boat launch reopens
Up about five feet since February, the water level at Eagle Mountain Lake has allowed the reopening of the Twin Points boat launch where vessels can enter the water, first-come, first-serve for $10. Photo courtesy Tarrant Regional Water District

BY MARK K. CAMPBELLIn April 2014, a Parker County jury
gave Jamie Lee Ford, of Springtown, a 37-year prison sentence for molesting a child in two counties.
Now, an appellate court has affirmed that punishment.
The first trialFord was accused of sexually as-
saulting and fondling a young girl from age five to nine in Parker and Tarrant County.
When 10 years old, the girl testified of several instances when Ford sexu-ally abused her.
A nurse told jurors what the girl said Ford did to her.
A neighbor, who was first told of the abuse by the girl, said he believed the youngster.
“The victim was a very brave girl,” said Assistant District Attorney Jeff Swain who tried the case with fellow assistant Kathleen Catania.”
Swain said the victim told a friend, then the friend’s parents, and eventu-ally the jury – describing things “no 10-year-old girl should know.”
An appealFord claimed that the nurse’s and
neighbor’s testimony was wrongfully admitted during the trial.
Child molester’s sentence affirmedSpringtown man gets 37 years, no parole
The Second Court of Appeals ruled April 23 that neither witness’ testimo-ny was improper.
The court concluded: “There was no error in the trial court’s judgment.”
Ford, 30, still has judicial recourse.He can turn to the state’s highest ap-
peals court, the Texas Court of Crimi-nal Appeals.
But Assistant District Attorney Eddy Lewallen said it is unlikely the court will handle the appeal because it usually only hears death penalty cases of those involving “novel legal issues.”
Ford’s 37-year sentence has no pa-role; he will be imprisoned until 2049.

BY NATALIE GENTRYEarly voting for the General Elec-
tion May 9 began Monday, April 27 and will run through Tuesday, May 5.
Local voters who live in Reno and Springtown will decide who will lead the cities for the next four years as both mayoral races are contested.
Reno also has a four-way race for city council Place 2.
The city of Sanctuary and the Springtown Independent School Dis-trict have each canceled elections this year since no candidates are opposed.
The primary early voting site for Parker County voters is the Court-house Annex kitchen located at 1112 Santa Fe Drive in Weatherford.
Springtown residents can go to the Springtown Municipal Court Annex at 200 North Main Street to cast their votes.
The meeting room in the Azle Ma-sonic Lodge at 257 W. Main Street will also act as a voting site for Parker County voters.
A full list of Parker County polling sites for purposes of early voting can
be found at http://www.parkercoun-tytx.com/index.aspx?NID=118.
Polls will be open April 29 and May 1 and 4 from 8 a.m.-5 p.m.
On April 30 and May 5, polls will be open from 7 a.m.-7 p.m.
Application for ballots by mail can be obtained by calling 817-598-6185.
They must be received by the Early Voting Clerks no later than the close of business on April 30.
Applications for ballot by mail should be mailed to:
Don MarkumEarly Voting Clerk1112 Santa Fe DriveWeatherford TX 76086Election Day voting for the Spring-
town election will take place in the new Springtown Municipal Court An-nex Building at 200 North Main Street in Springtown.
Reno residents may vote on Elec-tion Day only at Reno City Hall, 195 W. Reno Rd. in Reno.
A list of candidates and propositions on the ballot is on Page 3A.
Local early voting continues until May 5
spokesperson Chad Lorance said. “The lake is high enough now that
we can keep the ramp open most, if not all, of the summer. It will depend on how much rainfall we get between now and then, as well as the impact of summer demands and evaporation.”
While rains have helped signifi-cantly, TRWD has pumped an average 140 million gallons of water a day into EML since March 6, Lorance said.
He added that pumping into the lake will continue so long as demand re-mains low.
TRWD’s conservation efforts have resulted in a 30 percent reduction in annual demands, Lorance said.
“Our goal is to get Eagle Mountain as close to conservation level as pos-sible by June 1 of each year. It is hard to say if we will get there this year, but we have made significant progress,” Lorance said. “Hopefully, we get some more help from Mother Nature over the next few weeks.”

Thursday, April 30, 2015 Springtown Epigraph 2A
BY MARK K. CAMPBELLA grant spawned a program
that might end up in Spring-town – one that will help with hunger in the area.
Speaking to the Springtown Optimist Club April 28, Jen-nifer Beck from Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle said she oversees Texas Healthy Communities.
Fueled by a 2003 grant, the program began as a heart and stroke program to promote awareness as well as address self-management of chronic disease.
The “community transforma-tion” grant expanded into eight different areas – one being making nutritious food more readily available.
That inspired the creation of food hubs.
Food hubs In Weatherford and Azle
every second and fourth Sat-urday, bags of fresh fruit and
A ‘food hub’ in Springtown? It’s part of a plan to improve Parker County health
vegetables are sold for $5 each.
Each bag contains as many as 18-20 pieces of “healthy food options.”
The hospital purchases and
delivers the produce to a secure place, preferably near where the hub will distribute.
No profit is ever made – and if there’s a financial shortage, the hospital makes up the dif-ference.
The food hubs in Azle and Weatherford are so popular that the bags – as many as 150 to 200 – usually sell out within 30 minutes, Beck said.
She said it takes 8 to 10 vol-
unteers and that a town’s food hub is usually taken on as a ser-vice project.
“We would love for one to be in Springtown,” she said.
Several Optimist Club mem-
bers showed interest.
Eight imperativesYou would think a score of
53 out of 100 would not be that great, but Beck said that is the score the eight-part community transformation program got.
“That was good for honor-able mention,” Beck said.
The Parker County focus is multi-faceted.
Beck said she accumulated
data on smoking, breastfeed-ing (aka “mother friendly worksites”), “worksite well-ness,” physical activity, AED availability, nutrition, school compliance with health/fit-ness legislation, and cardiac/stroke response.
She added that three ar-eas especially need attention in Parker County – mother friendly worksites, getting mis-sion/guidelines accredited, and workplace wellness programs.
Beck said having formal policies in place in businesses is vital.
Aside from food hubs, other changes that could be occurring in Parker County could include a 100 percent, comprehensive smoke-free environment in all businesses.
“There is not one [business] in Parker County still,” Beck said.
She added that the communi-ty program is in place to make Parker County a healthier and safer place to live.
“We would love for one to be in Springtown.

By Natalie GeNtryMaking an effort made a dif-
ference.The Springtown Indepen-
dent School District (SISD) approved hiring Cenergistic, an energy conservation compa-ny, to help reduce the district’s energy bills during the July 2014 board meeting and began the process of employing an energy specialist and identify-ing ways to conserve energy t h r o u g h o u t the district buildings.
The district began build-ing the cus-tomized and s u s t a i n a b l e conservation program at the beginning of the spring semester.
“With a pri-mary goal of reducing consumption of elec-tricity, natural gas, and water throughout the district, we also hoped to model conservation efforts that would positively influence our students to be-come good stewards of our environment,” SISD Superin-tendent Mike Kelley said.
“Our Energy Specialist, Gunner Kesler, has tracked our energy consumption – in-cluding electricity, gas, water, and sewer, – using third-party energy accounting software to create a baseline period.
“After adjusting for weath-er, equipment additions/dele-tions, and changes in building use, the amount of energy that would have been used if con-servation and management
practices had not been implemented is then esti-mated.”
The base-line is then utilized for e s t i m a t i n g program sav-ings each month.
“Each and every mem-ber of our
staff has been working to en-sure that we use our resources responsibly, and Cenergistic’s first data analysis revealed some very encouraging facts,” Kelley said.
“Since beginning the ener-gy management program just a short time ago, Mr. Kesler
reports that SISD’s conserva-tion efforts have resulted in saving 78 thousand kilowatt-hours (kwh) of electricity and 975 million British thermal units (MMBTUs) of natural gas.
“In February alone the sav-ings equate to 43 metric tons of carbon dioxide emissions being prevented,” Kelley said. “That is equal to nine automo-biles off the highway annually, or more than 1,110 tree seed-lings planted and grown in ten years.
“From an environmental standpoint, the conservation effort has been very produc-tive.”
Reno Elementary led the district’s conservation efforts by reducing its projected util-ity-related expenses by almost 29 percent and saving the dis-trict $1,943.
Springtown Intermediate School’s utility-related ex-penses were $2,437 below projections, almost 24 percent under baseline projections.
Measured fiscally, the Feb-ruary data reveals that SISD saw a total utilities cost avoid-ance of 15.3 percent; totaling $12,645 in savings for the month.

The City of Springtown is at the proverbial pivotal point for the future of this community! The priorities of the past and current City Council are out of balance with our needs.Bad decisions have been made for a long time, especially the last few years. They are out of sync with what is best for our community.Let me give some examples of how out of whack the city council priorities are:
1. They built a splash water pool for the community at an estimated cost of $750,000.00. This facility uses 80,000 gallons of water per day of operation. This was built during the worst drought we have had in North Texas in the last 25 years. We were under water restrictions at the time. Now we are under pen-alty from TCEQ (Texas version of EPA) for inadequate water supply and quality of water. And dumping untreated sewer into Walnut Creek (the creek running thru the park).
2. The water used by the splash pool is approximately 7,200,000 per season of operation. I would almost bet the Water/Wastewater Enterprise Fund is not being paid for that water, and the water used by the splash pool is enough water to supply approximately 600 new homes in the City. Not a single new home can tie onto the water system now because of the penalty of TCEQ (Texas version of EPA)!!!!
3. Knowing all this, don’t you think we need new leadership? Someone that can make a difference.Is this making sense to you? Don’t you think our priorities should be to correct our deficiencies?
What can we do about this? It is time for a change at the top. The mayor position is the most important elected position in a small city. The Mayor needs to be persistent in dealing with North Texas Council of Governments, County Officials, State and Federal Officials, especially TCEQ and potential developers and lead a team for economic development. The mayor needs to have the time and unrelenting personality for the betterment of the community. Have we had that in the past or do we have that with the current candidates seeking that office?
We can have that if we elect Tom Clayton. He is persistent in this quest to lead. He has the time necessary to lead us out of the existing problems. He has the educational background needed to be Mayor. We have many needs. New leadership is the first step in that process.

The Springtown Epigraph, April 30, 2015 Edition
By Natalie GeNtryWith another successful
Springtown Chamber of Com-merce annual clay shoot under their collective belt, the mem-bers of the chamber have turned their attention to the next big event of the year.
The 6th Annual All-Ameri-can Bicycle Rally is set for Sat-urday, June 6.
Last year almost 200 riders participated in the event and feedback indicates that every-one enjoyed the ride and BBQ sandwiches provided immedi-ately following the race.
Amy Walker, Chamber Di-
rector, anticipates an even big-ger event in 2015.
“Our riders enjoy the beauti-ful Parker County countryside, safe and well- planned routes, and plenty of friendly volun-teers along the way,” Walker said.
With routes encompassing 10, 28, 54, and 67 miles avail-able, Dr. Robert Moss, commit-tee chair, has coordinated with the Parker County Sheriff’s Department and local volunteer firefighters to help ensure the safety of the riders.
This year the rally will also feature a short six-mile ride for families.
With minimal elevation change, this route is designed to get kids and their parents out on bikes.
As always, volunteers are needed and welcomed – even if it’s only to cheer bikers along the course.
Prospective riders can reg-ister at www.bikereg.com or download the application from the Chamber’s website and fax (with credit or debit card infor-mation) to the Chamber office at 817-523-3268.
For more information, con-tact the Springtown Chamber at [email protected] or by phone at 817-220-7828.

The
For those of us who were teenagers in the 1970’s, that title put the sweet falsetto harmonies of the Bee Gees in our minds’ ears.
Those of a different age may still think of that song, but it won’t be nearly as nostalgic and heart-warm-ing. Most everyone tends to think of the music of their mid-teens to early-twenties as the best ever.
We also tend to think, with exceptional fondness, of the friends we make during that time period. But rare is the friend from our teens with whom we remain close through the decades.
My father-in-law is one of my heroes for many rea-sons. Certainly part of it is because of the way he has treated me for 31 years. Most of it is because the way he has lived his life in front of me. He is a man of immense integrity and deep wisdom. He also is one of the best ex-amples of one of my highest values: being a lifelong learner. At age 85, he buys and sells cattle online, com-municates via text message, and has a Facebook account that he set up him-self a few years ago after he Googled the instructions.
His Facebook posts are rare, but his post from a few days ago provided me with the inspiration for this column. I won’t post it verbatim, but in it he said, “Just buried the best friend I ever had.”
In the post, he went on to say how he had met this friend in 1946 (at age 16) and they had remained close friends
How deep is your love?for all these years. Both of them spent a lifetime in farming and ranching and were each other’s go-to friend when any kind of help was needed.
Did you catch that? This close boyhood friendship lasted almost 70 years!
I doubt that these two manly men would have ever said that they “loved” each other, but that is really what it takes to make a 70 year friendship – 85-year-old manly men do not take the time to post to Facebook about “the best friend I ever had” if they only share admiration or respect. It is only deep love that draws out the best in us.
My friends, we have so cheapened the word “love” when it only refers to at-traction or emotion. Jesus said, “My command is
this: Love each other as I have loved you. Greater love has no one than this, that he lay down his life for his friends. You are my friends if you do what I command. I no longer call you servants, because a servant does not know his master's business. Instead, I have called you friends, for everything that I learned from my Father I have made known to you.” (John 15:12-15)
Our loves matter so much to God that He gave us the perfect example of deep love in sending Jesus to die for us – His friends.
So, how deep is your love?

Why I now hate Stone Mountain, Georgia
Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and admits he finds Dave Ramsey kinda smug.
Letter to the editor
I had done almost everything I usually do while waiting for the Bride to get ready for church – found the iPad and lesson literature, listened to Get the Led Out on KZPS, pre-
pared the coffee travel mug – when she said she was almost ready.
That meant 10 more minutes at least, of course, so I decided to check the bank balance. That’s weird; it was way lower than it should’ve been.
We had been talking about how little charges peck away – why, yes, Dave Ramsey’s financial theory is taught at our church – and this must be one of those instances.
A list of pending debits included $48.43, $25.20, $54.95 – 14 of them in all.
Wait. “STONE MOUNTAIN-GAUS”? What’s that?
One of those things that you think will never happen to you, had hap-pened to us. Oh, we’d been hit by a drunk driver and I had a little brother
die of cancer, but, for the most part, that low-percentage bad stuff had hap-pened to someone else. But here was another one: Someone had stolen my banking information.
We went to the bank the next day. The kind lady clearly had done this before as her what-a-way-to-start-a-Monday sigh belied. She pulled up our account online as we assured her we had never been to Stone Mountain, Georgia.
The bank lady said, “We tried to tell ya’ll that we were concerned about your account.” She said they called us – using a number that was at least 15 years old. “It’s important that the bank have a current number for you.” We fixed that right there.
She added, “We also sent you a let-ter.” We had casually read it, we said, but thought it was just a typical notice of the reissuing of a new debit card. “We stopped your card,” the bank lady continued which explained why it was declined at Schlotzsky’s ear-
lier. (I thought it was because we went crazy and not only bought a large but deluxed it with extra wads of meat. [I highly rec-ommend that, by the way.])
She began printing out a series of paper-work. That’s when the ceil-ing fell in.
Really. Right behind us, tiles fell from
above, damaged by the previous night’s storm, causing a cacophony.
The bank lady began talking on the phone as the ceiling repair guys fired up a giant wet-vac three feet from us. Occasionally we could hear snippets of “fraud department” and “already
approved” while a cast of characters scrambled around us – scruffy workers picking up plaster, business suit-clad bankers rushing around with forms, a Grant Wood couple sitting stoically on a bench by the door. It was like a Fellini movie. Or David Lynch.
Finally, things began to sort out. I signed and addressed 14 differ-ent pieces of paper – “Each incident needs its own report” – and hand-wrote my narrative on the back of one of them.
The Bride read what I wrote and told me I had the timeline wrong – it took me awhile to decipher what she was saying with the wet-vac din still ring-ing in my ears – so I scratched through a few things before my confession was complete.
Then came the lesson. The bank lady said there were a number of ways my information could’ve been stolen. She showed us a printout of the illicit charges.
“These here,” she said, “at the
Chevron. They probably offered to fill people’s tanks for $20 then just swiped the card.
“And these Kroger charges, they are almost certainly gift cards.” There were three $54.95 duns and another for $59.18. I got no solace knowing some Georgia hillbilly was eating at Cracker Barrel on my dime.
Our account was sucked down to $81.61 after other debits were noted, including several Walgreens’ deduc-tions.
The good news, she said, was that we might have caught it in time, that we might get some of the cash back.
We staggered out of the bank to a nearby restaurant where we ate big breakfasts. The Bride paid – with cash.
So, we learned a few things, mainly that, yes, it can happen to you. And, I’ll tell you one more thing: I’m never going to Stone Mountain, Georgia.
Grandfather Packard [mother’s father] settled at Rochester, one of the new towns, two miles north of To-peka. Great was the
rejoicing in the little cabin home when Grandma and the others arrived from Maine. Among my earliest recollec-tions are those of crossing the Kan-sas River, on our periodical visits to Grandpa Packard’s.
“The bottomlands reaching from the river to the bluffs on the north were heavily timbered and several Indian huts were passed on the journey. These were all very interesting to us children and the passage across the river on the old-fashioned ferryboat appealed to my childish love of the novel and dangerous.
“My recollections of Grandfather Packard are very dim, as he died in 1860, when I was five years old. He was a man of fine character. He was a good specimen of the best type of a
Yankee schoolmaster, and always took the lead in the community, in matters pertaining to public affairs, religious and educational movements.
“Grandmother Packard lived un-til 1877, and I remember her very distinctly. It was my good fortune to spend much time in her home. I love to think that I was rather a favorite of hers, for she often took me home with her on long visits. I lived with her one winter, and went to school at Roches-ter. I was about ten years old, and en-joyed this experience very much.
“In 1860 came the ‘Great Drouth,’ the effects of which were felt for many years. Crops were a total failure, wells and springs went dry. For many years the prairie was dotted with deserted cabins of settlers, who were literally ‘starved out.’
“Many of our neighbors packed up their belongings, or sold them for a song, and departed for the East. It is very likely that our people would have followed their example, but it was
a long way to Monson Village and M o o s e h e a d Lake, and we ‘stuck,’ along with a few other plucky pioneers.
“My uncle, Josiah Jordan – my name-sake – went along with the rest and never returned. He entered the
army as a surgeon and served until the close of the war. He settled in Spring-field, Massachusetts soon after the war, where he prospered greatly in the loan business.
[Note: Not true. Josiah was still writing letters to William and Han-nah after this date. ~ Ellen J. Jordan McDonald, granddaughter of Josiah
Jordan] “The hard times, resulting from the
drouth of 1860, were mitigated some-what by the temporary prosperity, which always reaches an agricultural community, when war breaks out. The sounds of war’s alarms did not reach us very distinctly in our prairie home, but my early recollections are always associated with the War of the Rebellion.
“Father had gathered up a little bunch of cows, and during the war, he operated the first milk ‘route’ estab-lished in Topeka. The location of the capitol of the new state gave Topeka its first ‘boom’ and there was an active demand for milk, butter, eggs, cheese, beef, poultry etc., all of which brought a good price during the war.
“I well remember riding around with Father on his route. During the summer – when there was a surplus of milk – he made cheese, and very good cheese it was, too. He usually had a supply of this cheese, and retailed it
out to his customers. He would kill a ‘beef’ occasionally in cold weather, and this, too, was peddled out in the same manner.
“One of his customers was Father De Fourrie, the first Catholic priest to locate in the Topeka parish. One morn-ing, quite early, Father was asked if he had any cheese. Father produced a large three-cornered piece, and hand-ing the priest a generous slice request-ed him to try it. Father De Fourrie took the cheese between his fingers, and was just about to pop it into his mouth – when he suddenly dropped it to the ground. “Haven't said Mass yet” – was his reply to Father's questioning look of surprise.
“These little incidents made a much deeper impression on my mind, at that time, than more important historic oc-currences.”

HISTORICALHIGHLIGHTS
Laurie Moseley
Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologistand historian who lives in Springtown. He is the
director of Springtown’s Legends Museum.
Two weeks ago, I gave a speech at the Optimist Club breakfast.
The whole point on giving the speech was to get people to start talk-ing about the possibilities that could be available to the Springtown area for economic development.
And to let the general public know that the community may need to of-fer some incentives to get the retail, manufacturing or assembly plants in Springtown.
Other communities in the Spring-town area have been very successful in attracting development.
And in some cases the incentives are the deciding factor. Incentives can range from property tax abatement, infrastructure improvements (drain-age, road widening, water/sewer lines
or traffic control lights), free land or any combination of these items.
A lot of communities will say we can’t afford to grant concessions to potential developers.
Each community must decide the best direction for their needs. The pos-sibilities for the right development can be limited, if incentives are not offered.

With barely more than a month left in the r e g u l a r session of
the Texas Legislature, it’s time for the House and Senate to do whatever can be done to reach an all-points agreement on House Bill 1, the state budget for fiscal years 2016 and 2017.
A widely reported sticky area in the estimated $211 bil-lion budget is over which taxes to cut and how much to cut. House and Senate conferees will meet this week. From both ends of the Capitol, the budget has a ways-and-means inertia to it, with House leaders push-ing for cuts in the state sales tax rate and the state franchise tax. Senate leaders favor more em-phasis on cutting homeowners’ property tax rates, a job tradi-tionally in line with the normal functions of local governmen-tal bodies.
School districts, for example,
get most of their revenue from local property taxes, and under the Senate plan, the state would have to make up for revenue lost to property tax cuts. The House plan, touted to provide some $5 billion in tax relief through other means, includes the first-ever reduction in state sales tax, with a 0.30-cent re-duction in rate from the current 6.25 percent to 5.95 percent. Wherever such matters settle, the state’s checkbook must bal-ance. Tax cuts will have to be “paid for” by corresponding cuts to budget items, such as health care, education, trans-portation and public safety.
Last week, House Speaker Joe Straus and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick picked five members each for the conference com-mittee on HB 1: House Ap-propriations Chair John Otto, R-Dayton; Rep. Trent Ashby, R-Lufkin; Rep. Sarah Davis, R-Houston; Rep. Larry Gonza-les, R-Round Rock; and Rep. Sylvester Turner, D-Houston;
and Senate Finance Chair Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound; Sen. Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa, D-McAllen; Sen. Joan Huffman, R-Houston; freshman Sen. Lois Kolkhorst, R-Brenham; and Sen. Charles Schwertner, R-Georgetown.
Abbott challenges haze ruleGov. Greg Abbott on April 22
submitted comments to the fed-eral Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Planning Section over the agency’s proposed re-gional-haze rule.
Abbott said the EPA’s pro-posed action “is unlawful on multiple fronts, and perhaps most egregiously it would im-pose a $2 billion burden in compliance costs and threaten the reliability of Texas’ energy grid — without any discernible benefits.”
The governor is arguing that the EPA: (1) does not have the authority to regulate “invisible” haze; (2) oversteps its statutory authority by imposing a com-
p l i a n c e cost on T e x a s ; (3) dis-c r i m i -n a t e s a g a i n s t Texas by imposing a differ-ent stan-dard than it has on Cali-f o r n i a ; and (4) is bas-ing the proposed
rule on outdated data from 2009.
Senate OKs body camera billThe Texas Senate on April
23 passed SB 158, legislation authored by Sen. Royce West, D-Dallas, that creates a frame-work for the use of body cam-eras by police officers.
The cameras, to be worn by
officers to record interactions between them and members of the public, may help “restore credibility and trust in our law enforcement agencies,” West said.
While West’s bill does not mandate that police depart-ments adopt the use of body cameras, it does create a grant program at the Office of the Governor that local law en-forcement agencies can apply for to help offset the cost of purchasing equipment.
During floor debate, West said that documenting en-counters between police of-ficers and citizens reduces complaints against police, incidents of lethal force and lawsuits against law enforce-ment. “People act different on camera,” he said.
Injection well hearings planned
Southern Methodist Univer-sity on April 21 announced an SMU-led seismology team has
found that “high volumes of wastewater injection combined with brine extraction from nat-ural gas wells is the most likely cause of earthquakes occur-ring near Azle, Texas, from late 2013 through spring 2014.”
On April 24, the oil and gas industry-regulating Texas Rail-road Commission directed the agency’s hearings division to initiate proceedings requiring the operators of two disposal wells in the area of Azle, 17 miles northwest of Fort Worth, to “show cause” why the in-jection permits for the wells should not be cancelled and the wells ordered shut-in, due to an alleged connection raised by new seismic research between ongoing operation of the wells and seismic activity in the vi-cinity.

Softball Playoffs

After the first round of dis-trict play, the Porcupine base-ball team was sitting atop 8-4A.
But a rough ride through round two of district action has dropped Springtown (4-3 in district) in the standings.
Still, SHS is playoff-bound.Getting in the final game of
the season has been difficult this rainy April.
Even the second to last game – against Castleberry – was moved to a Saturday.
The Lions beat the Porcu-pines on the SHS diamond, 8-0.
Sloppy play – Springtown had 6 errors – hurt.
At the plate, the Porcupines got just 5 hits, 2 by Russell Gideon.
Dylan Waddle got the start, pitching 4 innings and fanning 4 Lions. Ryan Neal struck out 5 in relief.
Whatever the outcome of the season finale at Bridgeport (results not available at press time), SHS will play a tune-up game at Brock May 1.Garrett Mauldin turns on a pitch. The Porcupines are scrambling for postseason

By MArK K. CAMPBeLLNow that’s the way to win a
track meet.Springtown hosted the an-
nual Area gathering where the top four finishers advanced to the regional meet in Lubbock May 1-2.
But on April 22, the final race of the day – the boys varsity 4x400 relay – would decide the Area team champion.
That would be Springtown – and in fine fashion.
Porcupines Ricardo Reyno-so, Mykeal Cummings, Mateo Herrera, and Dillon Springfield broke the Porcupine Stadium record, running the four laps in a scorching 3 minutes 23.89 seconds.
Those final points gave Springtown the team title by one point over Kennedale and five over Alvarado.
Not only did the boys 4x400 team lock down Region I-4A berths, but so did the 4x100 and 4x200 squads – as well as the girls varsity 4x400.
A slew of other athletes will
compete in Lubbock, too, as Springtown athletes excelled on their home track.
In all, 18 SHS track and field standouts advanced.
For the girls, the speedy 400 duo of Kaitlyn Hill and Molly Gideon turned in the same per-formance as they did the week earlier during the district meet: They finished first and second, respectively.
Heading to Lubbock, Coach Hannah Adams noted, “Our 400 runners are going in 2-4 from Area times.”
A top two finish at regional automatically claims a lane in Austin at the state meet May 14-16.
The coach said the girls 4x400 team enters Lubbock with the third fastest time in the region, based on Area results.
“Anything can happen,” Ad-ams said. “Good or bad.”
Coach Brad Legan said, “I think we have several boys and girls who have good chances to compete in Lubbock.”
In Area, Kylie Hornback won
the girls shot, joining Hill with gold medal worthy efforts.
Hunter Robinson took the boys pole vault, clearing 11-6.
Dillon Springfield ran the an-chor leg of the first place 4x400 team.
Earlier, he continued his domination of 4A hurdling events by winning the 110 and 300 races – giving him three golds at Area.
Mykeal Cummings qualified for regional in four events: all three relays – where he always runs the second leg – and as the runner-up in high jump at 6-0.
Other girls headed for the Region I-4A event: Brooklyn Dauenhauer, Alli Roglin, and Kristine Comacho.
For the boys: Dawson Meek, Blake Sanders, Ryan Snow, Austin Chenault, Fisher Dre-wry, and Kaleb Chesney.
Coach Legan said, “We are just going to focus on Friday’s prelims; if you can qualify for Saturday’s finals, anything can happen.”

... on a scale of 1-10?
Thursday, April 30, 2015 Springtown EpigraphMovie Man10A
Ah, trying to divine what the top 10 movies of the summer will be – always a Movie Man favorite.
This year, curiously, the No. 1 pick has never been simpler.
It’s after that one that things get tricky.
This summer’s biggiesHere’s how the blockbuster
season will likely shake out:1. The Avengers: Age of Ul-
tron (May 1).The Movie Man has already
said that this would be the year of two $1,000,000,000 dollar movies; the shocking success of Furious 7 (Movie Man No. 1134, a 5) will make it three.
Right now, that epic level has been reached just 20 times. But what makes Furious 7’s suc-cess even more amazing is that it’s only the third movie to ever make $1 billion internationally, excluding its U.S. take. The oth-er worldwide billion dollar hits: Titanic (1997, MM #212, 8) and Avatar (2009, MM #856, 7).
There’s nothing this sum-mer to come close to the anticipation of Age of Ul-tron. It’ll make a billion-plus – and be joined by Star Wars: The Force Awakens.
Yes, the Avengers will assem-ble – at the box office.
2. Inside Out (June 19)There wasn’t a Pixar movie
in 2014. With that dearth and a strong coming attraction, this animated movie (and No. 4) will dominate the kid market this summer.
3. Jurassic World (June 12)Even today, Jurassic Park
(1993, MM #5 [!], 9, Best of Year) is a wonder to watch. This addition to the dinosaur canon will bring droves to the-aters well into August.
4. Minions (July 10)The solo Penguins of Mada-
gascar (2014, MM #1115, 7) might’ve underperformed, but there’s no way that this spinoff from Despicable Me (2010, MM #885, 7) will misfire.
5. Ted 2 (June 26)The Movie Man got burned
by Seth McFarland last year when he picked A Million Ways to Die in the West as a Top 10-er. It was anything but; however, the earlier (mystify-ing) success of Ted (2012, MM #989, 3) can’t miss. The raun-chy comedy will certainly fare better than McFarland’s failed Western.
6. Fantastic Four (Aug. 7)This is the Movie Man’s big-
gest Top 10 gamble. Previous attempts at this Marvel classic have been okay, but not the me-ga-hits other far lesser comic titles have enjoyed. This time it looks like they’ve finally got it right. And that needs to happen – historically FF is the best of all Marvel titles.
7. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (July 31)
It’s hard to bet against Tom Cruise even with his off-screen weirdness. And the Mission: Impossible movies are always good.
8. Tomorrowland (May 22)This could do much bet-
ter than eighth. The preview is strange and enchanting but doesn’t really scream summer blockbuster. Still, it’s Disney and they seldom misfire.
9. Ant-Man (July 17)This movie has the buzz that
Fantastic Four should have. It has a Guardians of the Galaxy (2014, MM #1099, 7) vibe and
that movie went berserk at the box office.
10. Pixels (July 24)Most Adam Sandler movies
are cruddy, but his fan base re-mains huge. However, the pre-view for Pixels is terrific and the idea is great – old school video games come to life and attack earth; a ragtag group of former gamers must rise to de-feat the likes of Pac-Man and Donkey Kong.
List busters?A couple of movies could
sneak into the Top 10.The Movie Man is a fan of Me-
lissa McCarthy, and Spy (June 5) might pass $100 million.
And it’s always chancy to bet against a Terminator movie;
even the denigrated last one (Salvation, 2009, MM #826, 6) made $125.3 million in the U.S. So Genisys (July 3) could certainly crack the list.
But the Movie Man thinks a couple of other hopefuls – Mad Max: Fury Road and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. – will fade af-ter decent starts.
Follow the Movie ManHere’s how the Movie Man
plans on mapping out his sum-mer:
May 1 – Age of UltronMay 8 – Hot Pursuit (Sophia
Vergara and Reese Witherspoon in what looks ho-hum at best)
May 15 – Mad Max: Fury Road
May 22 – TomorrowlandMay 29 – San Andreas (The
Movie Man is a huge DeWayne “The Rock” Johnson fan.)
June 5 – SpyJune 12 – Jurassic WorldJune 19 – Inside OutJune 26 – Ted 2July 1 – Terminator Genisys
(a Wednesday release)July 10 – Minions July 17 – Ant-Man July 24 – Pixels (but Pan, a
prequel to Peter Pan starring Hugh Jackman, could have a big opening, too)
July 31 – Mission Impos-sible: Rogue Nation
Aug. 7 – Fantastic FourAug. 14 – The Man from
U.N.C.L.E.Aug. 21 – Criminal (hard to
pass on Gary Oldman and Kev-in Costner)
Aug. 28 – Hitman: Agent 47Sometimes movies get
moved off scheduled dates,
but it’s rare. (Still, this year the Vacation remake got bumped from July 31 to Oct. 9.)
Down the roadThen comes fall. A couple of
anticipated movies loom there – the new James Bond film Spectre (Nov. 6) and the final Hunger Games – which has an outside chance of making a bil-lion, too – Mockingjay – Part 2 (Nov. 20).
But, let’s face it. After the Age of Ultron does its damage, ev-eryone is waiting for Star Wars: The Force Awakens (Dec. 18).
Next upAge of Ultron.

The story behind the photograph
On the hunt for the elusive pink bluebonnet
by mark k. campbellThis week’s Home & Garden
special section is filled with photos of a variety of flowers.
Included are some bluebon-net shots that didn’t come eas-ily.
For more than two decades, Paula Campbell has supplied the paper with scores of photos.
For the Home & Garden sec-tion, we wanted to highlight the wide variety of flowers that grow from gardens to road-sides.
In early April, we had been driving south off Highway 183 before veering west from Lo-meta. Wending through back-
roads, our eyes were pealed for white and pink bluebonnets.
Sharp-eyed Paula spied some white ones as we drove 55 mph toward Llano. I pulled over and sometimes traffic whizzed by too close, but she got the shot. (It’s on Page 22 of the special section.)
This pink flower was much tougher, but, again, she man-aged to spot one; after we had waded through creeks and dodged suspicious cows, eyed speeding traffic and carefully trod among cactus and sus-pect cows, north of Llano on Highway 16, a few gentle, pink flowers peeked out among their blue neighbors.
After some cautious squat-ting and camera adjustments...success.
Finally.Shoes in hand, photographer paula campbell negotiates a muddy creek on the search for a pink bluebonnet. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

BY MARK K. CAMPBELLEvery time you turn around,
it seems like here comes anoth-er holiday.
Some special days are cer-tainly worth celebrating.
Others are not exactly his-torically accurate, but they, too, bring time for pause and celebration; they're sometimes known as “observances.”
Then there are those “Hall-mark Holidays” – those created out of thin air.
Federal holidaysGovernment workers are big
fans of federal holidays. There are 10.
Every year begins with a hol-iday – New Year's Day, January 1.
A second January holiday is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,
Holiday heaven There are lots to choose from – official and
unofficialevery third Monday of the month.
President's Day arrives in February, on the third Mon-day of February. It's officially Washington's Birthday but most folks lump in Abraham Lincoln, too, as well as recog-nizing “the legacy of all presi-dents.”
Memorial Day is the last Monday of May. It originally was created for remembering those killed in the Civil War, but now all the dead from all wars are honored.
Independence Day is July 4 and celebrates the adoption of Declaration of Independence in 1776.
Labor Day is the first Mon-day in September, honoring America's working population, and it used to be crowded with
parades all across the country. Today, it’s casually considered the “end of summer.”
Columbus Day is celebrated on the second Monday in Octo-ber. President Franklin D. Roo-sevelt proclaimed the holiday first in 1937.
Veterans Day is November 11. It began as Armistice Day to remember the dead of World War I. It morphed into honoring soldiers from all wars.
Thanksgiving Day is the fourth Thursday in November, recalling 1621 when the first feast by Pilgrims is believed by some to have occurred.
Christians and non-Chris-tians alike celebrate Christmas Day on December 25.
Recognized holidaysIn America, we have a slew
of holidays that aren't official by any means, but they are cer-tainly popular.
Groundhog Day, February 2, dates back to 1887. A critter's shadow unscientifically deter-mines how many more weeks of winter remains.
Valentine's Day is February 14, of course. The first mass-produced cards were created in the 1840s.
Easter commemorates the resurrection of Christ – dates vary.
Earth Day comes around ev-ery April 22 and has since 1970.
Arbor Day was proclaimed to be the last Friday in April by President Richard Nixon in 1970; however, a similar tree planting event has been ob-served since 1872.
Mother's Day started in 1914 when President Woodrow Wil-son issued a proclamation. It's every second Sunday in May.
Flag Day is June 14 and has been presidentially proclaimed since 1916.
Father's Day is the third Sun-day in June. It began in 1909 and, in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson issued the proclama-tion.
Patriots Day is September 11 to commemorate the 2001 at-tack on America. Citizens are encouraged to observe it as a National Day of Service.
Halloween is October 31.Pearl Harbor Day is always
December 7 and commemo-rates the bombing of Hawaii that ushered America into World War II.
Other holidaysSome days are on the calen-
dar but are not always official.April Fool’s Day is April 1
and is a day for mischief.Saint Patrick's Day is March
17, and it's wise to wear green if you are in elementary school or you might get pinched.
Juneteenth began in Texas and falls on June 19, a date that recognizes the announcement of slavery in 1865 in the Lone
Star State. It's a state holiday in Texas – one of the few states to make that declaration – known as Emancipation Day.
Other Texas holidaysIncluding Juneteenth, Lone
Star State government workers have other options to take off.
All state agencies are closed on “The Day after Thanksgiv-ing” (aka Black Friday) and Christmas Eve, December 24.
Some days are “optional holidays”: Cesar Chavez Day (March 31); Good Friday (var-ies); and Rosh Hashanah and Yom Kippur.
State offices keep “skeleton crews” for Texas Indepen-dence Day (March 2), San Ja-cinto Day (April 21), and LBJ's birthday (August 27).
Hallmark HolidaysGrandparent's Day was made
up and deemed to be the Sun-
day after Labor Day.Administrative Profession-
als' Day falls on the Wednes-day of the last full week of April. It was started by the Na-tional Secretaries Association in 1952.
Boss' Day is Oct. 16 and dates back to the late 1970's.
Greeting cards are also avail-able for Chinese New Year (Feb. 19); Teacher Apprecia-tion (May 5); Nurses Day (May 6); and Kwanzaa (Dec. 26).
The ultimate fake holiday is Sweetest Day, the third Sat-urday in October. The “holi-day” goes back to the mid-1960s and appeals primarily to younger people, according to Hallmark.
It is mostly recognized in the Great Lakes region.
If you’re a card sending sort of person, you can stay busy pretty much year round.St. Patrick’s Day is not officially recognized as a holiday in America, but try convinc-
ing lovers of green beer that.
Christmas is by far the holiday when the greatest num-ber of cards are sent.
