At the annual competition conducted by members of the North and East Texas Press As-sociation, the Epigraph came away with several honors.

Editor Mark K. Campbell took first place in News Photos for a pair of pictures – one a bal-loon release at an elementary school and another of an icy De-cember road.

Reporter Natalie Gentry claimed the other first place plaque for the Epigraph.

In the Feature Story category, she won with pieces about a WW II veteran and the Porcu-pine football manager.

Campbell was named the Journalist of the Year for a quin-tet of stories that covered topics from the “bad smell” the town endured to a historical piece about a Springtown school burning.

He finished second in the Sport Photo category and third in News Writing.

Other awards collected by the paper included a second place certificate for Page Design and a runner-up spot in Advertising.

A Chamber of Commerce publication finished third in Special Section.

The football retrospective that ran last August was the winner in a separate division.

Campbell said, “It’s always nice to be acknowledged by your peers. For Natalie to win a major award after being here

just a few months shows she’s a quality reporter and writer.

“Our goal is to cover Spring-town – all facets of it. We’re go-ing to continue doing that.”

Overall, the Epigraph finished third in its division, behind the Glen Rose Reporter and the Tri-County Leader out of White-house and Troup in East Texas.

Epigraph publisher Kim Ware picked up the accolades at the association’s Tyler convention April12.

The 4th Annual Porcupine Promenade was the biggest and best yet, according to Race Co-ordinator Eddie Wilkerson.

“This year, we’ve been blessed with more runners, more sponsors and more ven-dors than in any of the three previous races.”

Last Saturday, 179 run-ners turned out to take on the U.S. Track and Field Certified course, which began and ended in the Goshen Creek Elemen-tary parking lot.

A one-mile Fun Run for students started off the day’s events.

Winners included: Six-year-old and under win-

ners were Kinley Evans and Rance Willis with Kit Carpen-ter coming in second for the boys.

In the seven-nine years old category, Macy Pennington and Rhett Steen came in first place and Maggie Stone and Bodee Cato took second place.

Shelby Pickle and Ethan El-liott took first place in the 10 to 12-ears-old category while Ashlyn Dodson and Christian Elliot finished second place.

The fun run was followed by a 5K Run for all ages.

Bryan Ruiz, of Brock, turned in a blazing time of 16 minutes, 57 seconds to set a new course record and take home the Fast-est Male honors.

Chari Cato completed the loop in 23:07 to win the Fastest Female award.

In the 12 and under category, first place was awarded to Han-na Phares (26:27) and Christian Gaston (23:39).

First place for the 13-19 di-

vision went to Colby Bobbitt with a time of 19:26 and Harlie Phares with a time of 25:34.

In the Masters category for runners over 40, Ryan Mont-calm and Susan Croft snagged the honors for Fastest Male and Female Masters, respectively.

This year’s trophy for the largest team participation was ironically awarded to a neigh-boring elementary school – the Reno Rocket Runners turned out in force with 18 participants in bright green shirts to partici-pate in the two races.

Lisa Strein, counselor at Reno Elementary and organizer of the team, teased that they all wanted to have their picture made with the Goshen Elemen-tary principal.

Proceeds of the race will benefit the Goshen Creek PTA, which exists to support the Teachers and Students of Gos-

hen Creek Elementary School.Complete Porcupine Prom-

enade results and times of the 5k race are available at http://www.run-time.com/Results.aspx

A year ago the First United Methodist church began a Snack Pack Ministry to help provide snacks and food items to needy children each weekend.

These children are fed through the National School Lunch pro-gram during school days, but they have limited supplies of food during the weekend.

The Snack Pack Ministry program began during the 2012-2013 school year and served approximately 30 students attending Springtown Elementary School.

First United Methodist expanded the program this school year to include Goshen Creek Elementary School.

During the year, the number of students identified as in need has increased from 70 to 90.

Almost 60 percent of students enrolled in these two Springtown schools are considered economically disadvantaged.

Hunger is painful and these children need help and support each weekend.

The First United Methodist Church is asking for support to con-tinue this ministry through the end of the school year as well as assistance for start-up food supplies for next year.

The cost per child is $15 a month.Donations can be made to the First United Methodist Church,

Food Pantry of Springtown lauded a few of the volunteers who have put in numerous hours of service the past year at their annual Volun-teer Appreciation dinner.

The Frediline Cundiff Award – the highest honor given by the or-ganization – went to Dottie Ham-mett.

This award, named after the or-ganization’s founder, is presented to the person who has best demon-strated the goals and ideals of N2N.

This year Margeret Motrom won the Golden Rule Award.

At 88, Motrom still works as a volunteer every day helping any-one in need.

Gladys Lackey was named fe-male Volunteer of the Year.

The award for male Volunteer of the Year went to Brandon Foretich.

Neighbor to Neighbors is a faith-based organization that was found-ed in the early 1980s.

The organization is supported by over 20 Springtown area churches.

Volunteers work to address the needs of the people in the Spring-town ISD and serve the community with “dignity, respect, and compas-sion.”

Let’s hear it for the volunteers

(SHS) students participated in the University Interscholastic League One-Act Play competition earlier this month and have advanced to the Area competition.

“These young people, along with technicians Brock Conner, Lainee Bosquez and Courtney Hogan as well as our alternates Alaina Coss, Jessie Tidwell and

Josh Crosson have made me so very proud,” said sponsor and Theatre Arts teacher, Susan Da -vis.

“They worked very hard at getting this show together in less than six weeks because of the musical and poor weather.”

Cast members Travis Brents and Madison Armstrong were recognized as part of the All-Star Cast.

Mistian Whitehead, and Don-ovan Warren earned Honorable Mention recognition.

This is the first time SHS has advanced to that Area round since 2004.

“These students are truly the best that SHS has to offer,” Da-vis said.

The Spirngtown boys soccer team season ended with SHS being shut out of the postseason.

However, several Porcupines were named All-District by coaches.

Two Springtown athletes were named to the Second Team.

Goal keeper Evan Glesne was picked there and so was Ricardo Reynoso.

A trio of Porcupines were named Honorable Mention – Eric Avalos, David Cobos, and Thiago Peredo.

After years in a brutal district where Springtown often played in a higher district classifica-tion, that changes next season.

SHS’ new district – 3-4A – will include only Burkburnett, Decatur, and Wichita Falls Hirschi.

A big win over rival Mineral Wells shot Springtown into a near-certainty when it comes to the postseason.

By beating the Rams 6-1, SHS rebounded from a 7-0 loss to Lake Worth.

The worst case scenario for the Porcupines is to lose out – even though one game is with cellar-dwelling Fort Worth Dia-mond Hill-Jarvis – and to have Lake Worth win their final two games.

Both teams could theoretical-ly end up 4-6 and tied for fourth place.

A play-in for the playoffs game could then eliminate Springtown.

On the positive side, SHS could rocket all the way up to a tie for second place if things fall

District 6-3AKennedale 7-1Mineral Wells 6-2Castleberry 5-3Springtown 4-4Lake Worth 2-6Diamond Hill 0-8

right.Despite the possibilities, one

aspect is clear: “A Springtown win or a Lake Worth loss will clinch a spot for us,” Coach Stan Gideon said.

The victory over Mineral Wells was big.

Sophomore Jake Jordan got the crucial victory.

Gideon said, “Our pitching, offense, and defense were ex-

cellent.”Lead-off hitter Ryan Neal, an-

other sophomore, fueled the vic-tory with a pair of triples.

Springtown finished with a trio of three-baggers after Collin Rector got one, too.

Tyler Hickman belted a dou-ble and several other Porcupines hit safely., Gideon said.

If SHS takes care of business against Diamond Hill-Jarvis on April 18, Springtown won’t have to sweat the regular sea-son finale against Kennedale on April 22.

That game is Senior Night. And by the time it arrives, the

Porcupines will likely already be safely locked into the play-offs.

Postseason foes will come from District 5-3A.

Not only will the Lady Porcu-pine softball team return to the postseason, but Springtown will probably see the same bi-district foe as in 2013.

SHS took care of Lake Worth 10-4 and secured third place in 6-3A.

A loss to Mineral Wells settled the Lady Porcupines into third place, first-year coach Amy Bal-ke said.

That means Springtown will probably see the same playoff team as last year – Iowa Park, Balke said.

“I will know for sure after the Friday [Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis] game,” the coach said. “We will most likely play Iowa Park.”

In the Lake Worth victory, plenty of Lady Porcupines hit safely.

Kelsey Huff walloped a 2-run homer.

Julia Perez swatted a pair of singles and collected 2 RBI.

Springtown will be 3rd in 6-3A

Also picking up base hits were Kaitlyn Hill, Karrah Coo-per, Gabby Casanova, Chayton Seabourn, Kelsey Hinson, and Ekko Hurst.

In 2013, Iowa Park was state-ranked and Springtown gave them a scare.

After Springtown beat Castle-berry in a play-in for the play-offs, SHS tangled with the Lady Hawks at Mineral Wells.

The Lady Porcupines tied the game 1-1 in the sixth inning, much to the excitement of the vocal Springtown crowd.

Unfortunately, some fielding miscues in the bottom half of the inning let in three runs and Iowa Park won, 4-1.

This season, there’s a new coach in Balke but some of those playoff-hardened players return – among them participants in the inning that drew SHS even in 2013: Hill and Hinson.

Playoffs begin Friday, April 25.

by MArK K. CAMPbELLThe second day of the Dis-

trict 6-3A Track and Field Championships conducted at Porcupine Stadium April 9-10 was very windy.

But that didn’t seem to be de-terring Dillion Springfield.

Already the winner of a pair of gold medals from earlier hur-dling events – where he demol-ished the field – the Porcupine

turned into the wind in the final l00 meters of the 4x400 relay.

And he was reeling in the leader from Kennedale.

Going into the race, the Por-cupines and Wildcats were neck-and-neck for the team title.

If SHS could win and Ken-nedale finish third – and that seemed possible with a solid Mineral Wells squad in the blocks, too – then Springtown would win the team champion-ship.

It became evident early on that that was not going to hap-pen as Kennedale ran strong.

But the Porcupine foursome was also tough. On the anchor leg, Mateo Herrera passed the baton the Springfield.

The junior zoomed around the back stretch with a roaring south wind behind him.

In the final straightaway – now running into that gale – Springfield continue to close the gap.

But he ran out of space. Kennedale nipped Spring-

town 3:29.89 to 3:29.99.The top four finishers in each

varsity event advanced to the Area round.

That meet was slated for Gra-ham but was moved to Spring-town late.

Contested on Wednesday, April 15, results were not avail-able at press time.

The top four finishers in Area advance to the regional meet at Texas Tech in Lubbock.

Let’s make history!

Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services director for the Texas

Press Association, whose 518 member newspa-pers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

I want to begin this week’s col-umn with a heartfelt “thank you.” Many of you shared wonderful comments on my blog (and in person) after last week’s posting about my

Thingy. The fact that you took the time to do that really means a lot to me.

It may seem like this column is about me. After all, I am always tell-ing my own stories. I ad-dressed this in a previous column (“Dear Column Boy …”, December 10, 2012). But honestly, this column is about us. My perspective is that we are sharing the journey of life together. I just don’t have to get written consent from me to share my own sto-ries.

But I really am telling our story – yours and mine. When I point out the humor in a situation, I want you to see the humor in your own life. Hopefully, the result will be that none of us takes ourselves too serious-ly. When I talk about struggles, I want you to identify and remember that life ain’t always a bed of roses. (This is why I write columns, not articles. Ar-ticles are written by journalists who never get to use the word ain’t unless they are quoting someone.)

Whether we are laughing together or crying together, I want us to re-member together that our lives matter to God. Whether you are in His family yet or not, your life matters to Him. Our stories are weaving in and out of His story. In fact, I like to take out the space between the words “His” and “story” to get “history.” Hindsight is

only 20-20 if we look back and see the hand of God as He uses us to make history (His story).

Our lives also matter so much to Him that He doesn’t want us only con-sidering His story when we are look-ing backward.

“Trust God from the bottom of your heart; don't try to figure out everything on your own. Listen for God's voice

in everything you do, ev-erywhere you go; he's the one who will keep you on track.” (Proverbs 3:5-6, The Message)

“I know what I'm doing. I have it all planned out – plans to take care of you, not abandon you, plans to give you the future you hope for. When you call on me, when you come and pray to me, I'll listen. When you come looking for me, you'll find me. Yes, when you get serious about finding me and want

it more than anything else, I'll make sure you won't be disappointed." (Jer-emiah 29:11-14, The Message)

Did you catch that? “When you get serious about finding me and want it more than anything else, I’ll make sure you won’t be disappointed.” We won’t be disappointed because our greatest desire will be to find God in our story.

I have no idea what next week’s top-ic will be or what story I will tell. But I’m glad we are sharing this historical (and sometimes hysterical) journey.

Letter to the editor

Thankful for the many who made the race successful

President Barack Obama and former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clin-ton and George W. Bush spoke at the Lyndon Ba-ines Johnson Presidential

Library’s Civil Rights Summit, held April 8-10 in Austin.

The summit marked the 50th anni-versary of President Johnson’s efforts culminating in Congress’ passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and John-son’s signing the bill into law on July 2, 1964.

“As we commemorate the 50th an-niversary of the Civil Rights Act, we honor the men and women who made it possible,” President Obama said in his address. “We recall the count-less unheralded Americans, black and white, students and scholars, preachers and housekeepers whose names are etched not on monuments, but in the hearts of their loved ones and in the fabric of the country they helped to change. But we also gath-er here deep in the heart of the state that shaped (President Johnson), to recall one giant man’s remarkable ef-forts to make real the promise of our founding: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’”

Obama and the past presidents each uttered words to the effect that while Johnson’s accomplishments serve as durable bridges to a better America, every generation has civil rights chal-lenges that must be recognized and addressed, and the value of teaching and learning about the work of prede-cessors is critical to the health of the nation.

Panels composed of historians, scholars, current and former public officials and noted personalities ad-dressed a range of topics, including: LBJ and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., heroes of the civil rights movement, social justice in the 21st century, im-migration policy, education, gay mar-

riage, music and social con-sciousness and p r o f e s s i o n a l sports.

Presidential historian Doris Kearns Good-win said, and others agreed, LBJ’s mastery of the legisla-tive process and effective use of the power of the White House proved keys to the success of

the civil rights law, the voting rights law, the fair housing law, Medicaid, Medicare and other laws and federal programs that have been the legacy of the Johnson presidency and central to American life over the last half cen-tury.

In their panel discussion, former NAACP President Julian Bond, U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., and former Ambassador to the United Nations Andrew Young – associates of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. – recounted their personal involvement in the movement. Each of the three credited many others and acknowledged the work of the ranks of the unnamed who struggled in the 1950s and 1960s to unravel racial segregation across the South, and pushed for equal protec-tion and equal access, while generat-ing worldwide awareness and spurring changes in hearts and minds across the United States.

Hall of fame professional athletes Jim Brown and Bill Russell traded anecdotes on breaking the color line in sports, opening doors after their retirement as players, and dealing with the day-to-day realities of life in America.

Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musi-cians Mavis Staples and Graham Nash

performed songs and participated as panelists.

Governor looks for MIAsGov. Rick Perry and first lady Anita

Perry traveled to the Republic of Palau in the Western Pacific Ocean to par-ticipate in the BentProp Project, April 5 to April 17.

BentProp is an ongoing effort to find the remains of U.S. soldiers and sailors listed as “Missing in Action” in World War II battles fought in the South Pacific. Joining the Perrys on the island of Peleliu were former U.S. Navy SEAL Marcus Luttrell and Ro-mus Valton Burgin, a veteran of the September 1944 Battle of Peleliu.

According to the governor’s office, the Perrys “are traveling as guests of the BentStar Project, which assists in funding the BentProp Project and Pur-suit Productions, which is filming a documentary on the 2014 expedition.”

Revenues grow in MarchState Comptroller Susan Combs on

April 9 announced state sales tax rev-enue in March was $2.09 billion, up 5.6 percent compared to March of the previous year.

“The growth in sales tax revenues was led by business spending in the oil and natural gas mining, wholesale trade and construction sectors,” Texas chief revenue officer explained. “Col-lections from restaurants were also strong. This marks 48 consecutive months of growth in state sales tax collections.”

Combs said her office would send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts their April local sales tax allocations to-taling $554.5 million, up 6.2 percent compared to April 2013.

In September, 1865, Rob-ert accepted the position of president of financially-ailing Washington College in Lex-ington, Virginia and journeyed to Lexington to set up house-

keeping. Custis received a position at VMI, Rob and Rooney continued rebuilding White House, which had been burned to the ground by the Yan-kees, daughter Mary traveled, and Ag-nes and Mildred stayed behind to care for their mother.

“Mary’s first task was to oversee the unearthing of the Washington trea-sures buried for safekeeping before the war. She was disheartened to find that the Washington letters and papers had been inadvertently exposed to the ele-ments over the years and were rotted. None could be salvaged and she took to the task of burning them herself. ‘I almost wept as I had to commit to the flames papers that had been cherished for nearly a century…’ The silver was recovered, as well as the Washington carpets and Mary was pleased to dis-play those items in her new home in

Lexington where she was an admired hostess.

“In 1869, President Johnson autho-rized the return to Mary of all the per-sonal property that had been removed from Arlington; however, Congress stepped in and concluded the articles were ‘the property of the Father of his country, and as such are the property of the whole people and should not be committed to the custody of any one person, much less a rebel like General Lee.’ With that news, Mary’s hope of ever having any of her treasures re-turned died.

“Her joy was found in sitting on the front porch in the cool evening with Robert when they would bask in the beauty and calm that surrounded them. Through this time together, Mary was able to see the slow de-cline in Robert’s health. One evening, as Robert had returned from a church meeting, he placed his hat and coat in his room and entered the dining room. Mary became alarmed at his appearance and called to Custis to assist his father. He was immediately

put to bed and slept almost continuously for two days and nights. At first, the doc-tor felt that Robert sim-ply needed a rest, but af-ter he failed to improve Mary stayed at his bedside, knowing the end was near.

“She wrote of his passing: ‘We all sat up all night every moment almost expecting to be his last. He lay breathing most heavily & the Dr. said entirely unconscious of pain. I sat with his hand in mine all moist with heavy perspiration & early in the morning and went into my room to change my clothes & get a cup of tea. When I went back he lay in much the same condition, only there were some more severe struggles for breath

– these became more frequent and in-tense & after 2 very severe ones, his breath seemed to pass away gently, & he so loved & admired now lies cold & insensible…’

“Mary’s incapacitating disease made it impossible for her to attend the October 15 funeral service for Robert. Instead, she remained at home and reread letters that Robert had sent to her during their courtship and early on in their marriage. The days passed and Mary received hundreds of condo-lences from across the country. With her health still deteriorating, her heart ached even more for one last look at Arlington. In June 1873, with the help of many individuals, she made the re-turn trip to Arlington.

“‘I rode out to my dear old home, so changed it seemed but as a dream of the past. I could not have realized that it was Arlington but for the few old oaks they had spared, & the trees planted on the lawn by the Gen’l & myself which are raising their tall branches to the Heaven which seems to smile on the desecration around

them.’ Mary was unable to exit the carriage, but was delighted when old servants still at Arlington came to see her. When it was time to leave, she didn’t look back.

“Mary returned to Lexington in time to sit at Agnes’ deathbed and Mary, tired in body and spirit, drew her last breath in her sleep on Wednesday, November 5, 1873. With her passing, Custis took to fighting for the return of Arlington and in 1882 the Supreme Court ruled that Arlington had indeed been illegally taken and ordered it re-turned to the family.

“Custis, the legal heir, had no de-sire to live among dead and sold it to the government for $150,000, half its estimated value. In 1901, President McKinley ordered all the Washington artifacts taken during the course of the war be returned to the family. Mary Custis Lee could now rest in peace.”

The end for the general’s wife: Mary Custis Lee, Part 8

Pro tips from the Photographer of the Year

ON YOURMARK

Mark K. Campbell

Plate 1-1

Plate 1-2

Plate 666

Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph edi-tor and loves these digital times.

Now that I have been annointed as the Photographer of the Year by a bunch of guys somewhere, the April 14 appearance of the rare “blood moon” affords me the opportunity to pass

on some hard earned expertise I have gleaned from over two decades of taking pictures.

Set your camera on the ‘P’ setting.That’s about it.However, as an award-winning professional

photojournalist, I am always looking to im-prove. That’s why it seems worthwhile to walk through the process that resulted in capturing the rare celestial event.

(You might want to take these tips to heart. After blood moons on Oct. 8 this year and April 4 and Sept. 28 next year, there’s not an-other one until 2032. Some people believe that the unique series of lunar events is a precursor to End Times, so you might not have to worry about that 2032 part.)

As you can clearly see in Plate 1-1, I was ex- perimenting with the camera setting. When taking pictures at night, it’s usually a good idea to dress appropriately. I was wearing a robe I won at a si-lent auction for $20 and little else. That became problematic since it was 35 degrees.

Still, I professionally spun the dialie thing on the top of the camera and aimed it skyward! The slow shutter click meant trouble – it’s an indica-tor that you must hold the camera very steady. As mentioned, it was 35 degrees so I didn’t. What you get is Plate 1-1.

Next, I turned the dial and fired off another shot, Plate 1-2. This did not result in what I would call a “professional” shot; it looks like my colonoscopy.

I tried a third attempt, Plate 666 – on a new dial setting – right when the wind blew my robe open, Crickets silenced and nearby yapping coyotes shut up and bolted to distant pastures.

From the garage behind me, the radio came on suddenly and loudly, to Air1, a religious sta-tion.

The camera captured this im-age of something that appeared to be hurdling down from space. Perhaps the End Tim-

ers were right! True, it wasn’t a trumpet blast but the Newsboys heralding the heavenly event, but, still, it was unsettling.

When the earth did not swal-low me up, I rejiggered the camera on the setting I use all the time – good ol’ ‘P.’

The flash popped up. It seemed a lot to ask of a flash to travel 286,000 miles, but who was I to argue with ‘P’?

Some people like to go to the movies to escape. Some are cu-rious about how a favorite nov-el might be adapted. Some love superheroes. Some dig space-ships or being scared.

And some are snooty. The sort who think fi lm is art and any picture not trying to elevate the form is a colossal waste of time and energy. Only dullards go see Spider-Man; with noses in the air, the elite sniff at the common man and venture to the latest Lars von Trier “mas-terpiece.”

About the fi lmThat’s where Wes Anderson

comes in. He, too, is beloved by the pompous fi lmgoer, the sort who hails the obscure and disdains the popular.

(Before the Movie Man gets too hoity-toity himself, he’ll admit that he sometimes at-tends movies with a positive outlook if he likes the director – Terrence Malick, for example. [Here’s a test: Go see 2011’s The Tree of Life; the Movie Man loved it and you will al-most certainly wonder how that could be possible.])

Anderson certainly has skills. He is the classic hipsters’ direc-tor, the kind of guy who gets loaded down with adjectives like witty, whimsical, and origi-nal.

Also pretentious, insuffer-able, and vainglorious.

And, like Woody Allen, ma-jor actors not only line up to work with him, but Anderson has his own coterie of actors at his beck and call.

Anderson devotees will laud him regardless of his output: “Most folks just can’t get him,” say the coffee-drinking, osten-tatious poseurs.

As a director, Anderson’s re-sume isn’t long. A 44-year-old Texan (from Houston), he has directed just eight full-length pictures.

All are beloved by the groovy crowd. Anderson broke in with Bottle Rocket (1996), an ex-pansion of an earlier short. His

most popular hipster movie is Rushmore (1998) and that was followed by his most success-ful box offi ce effort, The Royal Tanenbaums (2001, Movie Man No. 438, a 5). Successful is defi ned as $52.4 million for a Wes Anderson movie.

It took three years for his next movie to arrive and sink: The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. A $50 million budget managed but $24 million in America. (However: “It’s not about the money, dude.”)

The next fi lms he made all went mostly unseen: The Dar-jeeling Limited (2007), the stop-motion animated Fantas-tic Mr. Fox (2009), and Moon-rise Kingdom (2012).

But the Movie Man isn’t a Wes Anderson hata. The direc-tor understands that he’s mak-ing movies, not fi lming plays. His camera zooms and tilts and retreats way, way back. You know – just like with Malick – you’re gonna get some sort of eye-popping sequence some-where along the way.

(That’s why the Movie Man, over two decades ago, created the “Best scene” subhead in every review – even the worst dud will have something worth viewing [even if briefl y].)

What Anderson isn’t is run of the mill. His movies might be grandiose, but in an era of se-quels and blockbusters, that’s his allure.

The plotA young writer (Jude Law)

visits a fading hotel in the high mountains of a European country. There, he meets the owner, Zero Moustafa (F. Mur-ray Abraham) who tells him that this grand old lady was once magnifi cent – and was run impeccably by a M. Gustave (Ralph Fiennes), the concierge.

In 1932, the young Moustafa (Tony Revolori) is hired on as a lobby boy and eventually tak-en under Gustave’s wing. The concierge is a miasma of a man: He’s insistent on upholding the elegance and upscale demeanor

of the hotel, but at the same time, he is shockingly vulgar and beds every elderly socialite that visits.

One of those dowagers, Ma-dame D. (Tilda Swinton), dies and leaves Gustave a valuable painting – one that her son Dimitri (Adrien Brody) is des-perate to keep. Gustave and Moustafa stash the picture, but the hunt is on for it.

The suave Gustave ends up in jail, gets broken out, and with Moustafa, now his most trusted friend, and the lobby boy’s fi -ancée Agatha (Saoirse Ronan), they fl ee – with the growing military power, led by Edward Norton on their trail.

What worksIf you’re the sort of person

who likes to see cameos by popular actors, TGBH is for you. Bill Murray, Owen Wil-son, Jason Schwartzman, Wil-lem Defoe (all part of Ander-son’s regular company), and Tom Wilkinson (who shows up in the opening, a preface to the 1932 fl ashback) all appear.

So do Harvey Keitel and Jeff Goldblum, all in varying role lengths. The Movie Man likes such appearances.

The big winner in the movie is Fiennes. He is superb and his character is fascinating. Also exceptional is newcomer Revolori.

Anderson’s fi lmmaking tech-

nique is never dull; many sin-gle shots are mesmerizing. The prison breakout sequence is full of whimsy, violence, and won-der – classic Anderson.

Best scene (spoiler)The fi nale pays off. It takes

forever to get there, but it’s po-tent. In a train car – reprising an earlier scene – the militia again shows up to harass Gustave, Moustafa, and now Agatha.

When a soldier dares to strike Moustafa, Gustave, hopelessly outnumbered, bolts out of his seat and attacks the military men – all the while the camera pulls slowly back from the only black-and-white scene in the movie.

It has a queerly reminiscent feel of Schlindler’s List (1994, MM #22, a ‘+’ in the ancient, non-number days, a 9 now), especially with Fiennes who starred in both.

What doesn’t workThis movie is all over the

place, more proof that it’s “art.” That can drive lots of folks (in-cluding the Movie Man) crazy. Just because you can meander to amp the coolness factor, doesn’t mean you have to.

TGBH is in no hurry. That and its seemingly self-indul-gent grandiosity can make it frustrating. This is one of those “nothing happens” movies. Exiting people with the Movie Man – all older viewers – said the movie was “unfocused.”

The sudden violence, lan-guage, and a startlingly explicit painting are jarring; that’s the idea, but it seems like someone trying very hard to be hip.

Murray fans will be highly disappointed; he’s barely in the movie, maybe fi ve minutes.

The ratingUsually, a character-driven

movie settles into a PG-13 these days. Not so here. A man gets his fi ngers severed, there’s a bloody knife fi ght, nudity, a shockingly graphic painting referenced often, and scads of

bad language. It’s a mild R, re-ally, but still an R.

Summing up

The Movie Man was OK with TGBH. It contains some interesting and even beauti-ful sequences. But it’s an “art” fi lm. The majority of the folks who read the Movie Man will likely detest it.

A lot.

Next upThe Movie Man is ready to

jump back into the religious movie maelstrom currently roiling, heading to Heaven Is for Real.

Are you cool enough to ‘get’ this hipster’s latest?

Harris Methodist Azle (THAZ) Auxiliary celebrated its 40th anniversary April 8.

The group gathered to rec-ognize the volunteers among them who have dedicated innu-merable hours to advancing the operation of the hospital in the community and to laud the rich history of the group itself.

The auxiliary was founded on Feb. 27, 1974 as the Eagle Mountain Area Suburban Hos-pital Auxiliary (EMASH).

After a challenging charter year, 191 people joined the auxiliary, including five life-time members.

One of the initial lifetimers to join that year was Mary Blasin-game, the auxiliary’s first presi-dent.

Blasingame and Carolyn Mobley were the only original charter members present at the 40th gathering.

Volunteers of THAZReceiving certificates for

their work as volunteers were

Theresa Albin, Patricia Byas, Janis Claiborn, Christy Creel, Billy Gay, Nancy Richardson, and John Nguyen.

Earning certificates as well as pins for volunteering over 100 hours were Barb Daily and David Long .

Five hundred hours bars were awarded to Madge Prince Neola Travis, Carol Presnell, and Hazel Graham.

LuAnna Fisher and Jeanene Olson were each awarded a 1,000 hours bar.

In addition, special recog-nition was given to Carolyn Arnold who had accumulated almost 2,000 hours conducting exercise and dance classes for THAZ

Changes at THAZThe most visible achieve-

ment of the auxiliary this year is the front entrance to the

hospital.“This project would not have

happened without your help.” said Bob Ellzey, THAZ presi-dent. “The $100,000 that the auxiliary raised will make for a much nicer experience for our patients.”

“That’s a lot of Attic Reruns clothes and popcorn sold,” he continued.

Ellzey also announced that the format of the leadership in the hospital has altered.

Due to the change in the healthcare system, Ellzey will be joined at the helm of THAZ by Valarie Gilbert, RN, chief nursing officer, and Dr. Judy Laviolette, chief medical offi-cer.

“With these changes in the system we’re moving toward an integrated system,” Ellzey said. “This ‘triad leadership’

blends the doctors, nurses, and administration into an integrat-ed role.”

Ellzey said while they have always worked together in many ways, there has always been a divide between the medical staff and the adminis-tration.

“But as we look at treating the whole person and the com-munity, it takes everyone at the table together,” Ellzey said.

Recognition for THAZTwo nurses from THAZ

–Bobby Hardman, RN and Christine Hatfield, RN – were recently recognized as among the “Great 100 Nurses” in the Dallas-Fort Worth area.

This is the first time THAZ has had two nurses selected for the honor in one year.

Texas Comptroller Susan Combs announced that state sales tax revenue in March was $2.09 billion, up 5.6 percent compared to March 2013.

“The growth in sales tax revenues was led by business spending in the oil and natural gas mining, wholesale trade and construction sectors,” Combs said. “Collections from restaurants were also strong. This marks 48 consecutive months of growth in state sales tax collections.”

Combs will send cities, coun-ties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts their April local sales tax allocations totaling $554.5 million, up 6.2 percent compared to April 2013.

The sales tax fi gures repre-sent February sales reported by monthly tax fi lers.

Locally, though, Azle – as well as its Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) – along with Springtown, Reno and Pelican Bay, all saw dips in sales tax revenue in March as compared with March 2013.

For example, the city of Azle received $149,728 in March, a decrease of 4.19 percent from March 2013. That’s the most signifi cant decrease the city has seen in some time. However, a look at year-to-date sales tax

revenue shows the city is only down 0.21 percent for the fi rst quarter of 2014, with revenues of $676,118 compared with revenues of $677,608 for the fi rst quarter of 2013.

Similarly, Azle’s CCPD received March revenue of $28,401 for March, down 4.10 percent from March 2013 reve-nue of $29,617. The CCPD has collected $126,321 during the fi rst quarter of 2014, only 1.16 percent less than the $127,810 revenues recorded for the fi rst quarter of 2013.

Azle’s Municipal Develop-ment District received $27,217 for March, and has collected $116,817 for the fi rst quarter of 2014. There’s no comparison to make, however, since the district only began collecting a sales tax in October 2013.

Azle City Manager Craig Lemin said Tuesday that about half the decrease in Azle’s case is due to comptroller audit ad-justment. As for the remaining 2 percent drop, Lemin said it’s possible that wintry weather during January, when the taxes were actually collected, kept people at home and thereby kept sales down.

In Springtown, things look worse. The city’s March sales tax revenue of $58,621 is down

16.35 percent from March 2013 revenues of $70,081. Year-to-date revenues are $265,844 – down 8.17 per-cent from the fi rst quarter 2013 revenues of $289,519.

The city of Reno, too, is seeing some decline in sales tax revenue. Its March check for $5,397 is 12.73 percent less than its March 2013 check for $6,184; fi rst quar-ter revenues of $23,821 are down 5.44 percent from the same period in 2013, when it recorded revenues of $25,194.

The city of Lakeside, whose voters approved a 1 percent sales tax increase at the polls in November 2013, realized a 372.40 per-cent increase with its March payment of $24,101. A year ago, its sales tax revenue check was $5,102. First quarter revenues of $65,245 are 161.67 percent greater than fi rst quarter 2013 rev-enues of $24,934.

Pelican Bay saw a much more manageable decrease of 1.98 percent. March’s sales tax revenue of $1,465 was just $30 less than its March 2013 check of $1,495. Its fi rst quarter rev-enues remain up 6.73 percent with $6,209 in the coffers so far, compared with $5,817 for

the fi rst quarter of 2013.The city of Sanctuary saw

a nice 23.28 percent increase from its March 2013 sales tax revenue of $927 to $1,143 in March. That’s still not enough to overcome an ongoing de-crease compared with the fi rst quarter of 2013, when revenues were $4,147. So far in 2014, the

city has collected $4,109.Parker County’s March check

for $490,680 is 0.88 percent less than its March 2013 check for $495,042. But the county has received sales tax revenues of $2,322,303 in the fi rst quar-ter of 2014 – 8.91 percent more than the $2,132,235 it received in the fi rst quarter of 2013.

Lakeside is exception with gargantuan leap

was that THAZ went to Wash-ington D.C.,” Ellzey said.

Marsha Ingle and the team with the Community Wellness programs were recognized for their Healthy Education Life-style Program (HELP) at THAZ.

“The people working with HELP are actively trying to

transform the focus of the com-munity to wellness instead of sickness,” Ellzey said. “They are doing things to create a healthier community, reduce hospital utilization, and help people manage their chronic disease outside of the hospital.”

Their achievements earned them an invitation to D.C. to

present to a national audience and be recognized for some of the pioneering things they are doing.”

In addition, back in June THAZ was recognized Top 100 Hospital in the nation, and among only nine in Texas, for delivering high-quality care

while improving effi ciency.This honor, given by Tru-

ven Health Analytics, annually recognizes hospitals across the nation on overall organization performance, which includes patient care, operational effi -ciency and fi nancial stability.
