No bull: Wild West Festival No. 30 a big hitBy Natalie geNtry
According to everyone involved, this year’s 30th Annual Wild West Festival was a great success.
The morning started off at a pleas-ant 73 degrees as almost 200 ven-dors, concessions, and children’s area booths were set up.
There was a little something for ev-erybody including cowboy hats, jew-elry, clothing, home decor, skin care, homemade soaps, wood crafts, sauces and jellies among others.
Michelle Deweese, assistant at the Chamber, pointed out that the suc-cess of the event every year is due to the volunteers from the Chamber, its board of directors, the community, churches, and area businesses.
“It’s really just unbelievable how they come together for the Wild West Festival,” Deweese said. “Many get up at 5 a.m., work all day in the heat and don’t leave until late in the eve-ning – it’s a lot of work.”
One of those volunteers has worked ceaselessly each year since the event’s inception 30 years ago.
Mary Harms has been so devoted to the event that she’s earned the nick-name “Queen Mary” Deweese said.
Tried and trueThe event kicked off with the an-
nual parade.Although there wasn’t a competi-
tion for the parade entries this year, there was no shortage of participants.
“We had more than 70 entries of all kinds,” said Springtown Chamber of Commerce Director, Amy Walker. “It was our biggest parade ever!”

Be there and be SquareNew event planned to raise funds for Springtown’s icon
By Natalie geNtryWhile still basking in the glow
of having Springtown’s Tabernacle Square improvement project named a finalist in the 2014 Texas Downtown Association (TDA) Presidents Awards Program, the Friends of the Taber-nacle committee are planning to con-tinue fundraising efforts by hosting an event on the Square.
A day of fun for everyoneThe name of the new event sched-
uled for Saturday, Oct. 18 is “The Square Deal.” The fun will start at 10 a.m. and continue until 10 p.m.
The day will feature a chili cook-off and a washer team tournament.

Reno Council approves 2014-2015 fiscal budget
By Natalie geNtryThe Reno City Council approved
the proposed operating budget for the 2014-2015 fiscal year at the Septem-ber regular city Council meeting.
According to City Secretary Becky Young, the new budget represents hours of research and analysis by the staff to assess community and fiscal needs.
She said the goal is to create a co-hesive plan which serves the needs of the citizens and the goals of the coun-cil in such a way as to enhance health and safety of the public at large and to enhance the quality of life in the city of Reno.
The content of the proposed budget includes the following:
PersonnelThere is a planned 2.5 percent in-
crease for all permanent hourly em-ployees effective Oct. 1; however no raises were budgeted for salaried em-ployees.
Continued funding was approved for the part-time municipal court clerk position, as well as the Texas Munici-pal League Inter-governmental Em-ployee Benefits Pool.
EquipmentAdditions to equipment expenses
include funds for a municipal court printer, a used truck for the public works department, and administrative

As always, the World Famous “Wheelie-ing Elvi” mini-motorcy-clists were crowd pleasers, with their bejeweled jumpsuits and Elvis Pres-ley-like pompadour hairdos.
In addition to the parade, certain events are Wild West Festival staples.
The “Legends of Texas” gunfighters always draw a crowd with their combina-tion of Western wit and physical hijinks.
Three times during the day, the clas-sic Old West archetypes of a cool-headed lawman, a bumbling deputy, and conniving bandits were used to draw in bystanders and place the crowd in the middle of a John Wayne-esque gunfight.
As always, the newly dubbed “John Conway Children’s Area” was packed all day as well.
“There were kids everywhere,” Walker said. “They were having a great time on the huge slide, mechani-cal bull, Bubble Bumpers, everything else.”
New eventsKeeping a fresh lineup of events at
the festival is always important to the coordinators and this year featured three new additions.
The Buffalo Bill’s Cowboy Band brought the sounds of the Wild West alive with their true-to-era instruments and music.
“They were a hit,” Walker said. “I received emails and phone calls from people saying they hope we have them back next year.”
Responses such as these help the Chamber plan for next year, she said.
Another new addition was the long-

horn encounter. For a $5 donation to the Tabernacle fund, festival goers were able to pet, sit on, and take a pic-ture with one of two Texas longhorns.
“The longhorn drew a nice crowd,” Walker said. “I actually sat on the longhorn!”
The final new event this year was the Wild Wild Whiskers competition.
Twenty-five contestants entered the event to show off their flair for facial hair; including competitors who trav-eled from Bryan, Frisco, Dallas, and Fort Worth specifically for the event.
Winners from the five categories in-clude:
• Mustache – 1st place, Jonathan
Root of Frisco; 2nd, Chris Garza of Bryan.
• Partial Beard – 1st; Nick Ste-phenson of Pelican Bay;2nd, Carlton Stovall of Dallas.
• Full Beard – 1st, Roy Grissom of Crowley; 2nd, James Pool of Spring-town.
• Freestyle – 1st, Jimmy Fox of Al-vord; 2nd, Jerry Hannah of Dallas.
• People’s Choice – Larry Fredrick of Henrietta.
Roy Grissom was declared Grand Champion and second place overall went to Jimmy Fox.
Event organizer and whisker aficio-nado Dustin Morrow was pleased with
the turnout.“For its inaugural year, the compe-
tition did really well,” Morrow said. “Having 25 entries – and multiple in each category – was more than we ex-pected.”
With No-shave November just around the corner, look for some en-terprising locals to get a head start for next year’s whisker competition.
A national eventEarlier in the year Pinnacle Bank
chose Springtown and the Wild West Festival as the subject for a national
off are available at the city’s web site, www.cityofspringtown.com.
There will also be a food truck from Fort Worth and a possible appearance by the locally famous “Crazy Train.”
Also planned are raffles throughout the day with prizes including a $100 Cabela’s gift card, a welding machine donated by Ward Welding Supply, a cordless drill from True Value, some-thing for the ladies from Bright Bou-tique, and a 50/50 pot. Tickets are $1.
Live entertainment will begin at 1 p.m. and include the music of Brad Kelley, Huelyn Duvall, and Wisper Cox.
In addition there will be new cars on display from the Jerry Durant and Charlie Gilchrist auto groups. At 6 p.m. the fun will continue as a street dance begins.
Springtown’s newest public event is a family-friendly experience that celebrates the tradition of fun on the Square and raises money to continue the restoration.
A noteworthy accomplishmentThe Tabernacle Square improvement
project is a finalist in the TDA’s Best Public Improvement category, which recognizes excellence in public proj-ects and planning in downtowns or commercial districts throughout Texas.
Other finalists in this category in-clude Cuero’s Downtown Beautifica-tion Project and Ganado’s Downtown Improvement Project.
Winners will be announced on Nov. 6 at the Presidents Awards Luncheon held in conjunction with the 2014 Tex-as Downtown Development and Revi-talization Conference in Granbury.
The TDA is an independent, state-wide nonprofit organization com-prised of over 430 members, involved in downtown and commercial district revitalization projects.
TDA provides resources to mem-bers through networking opportu-nities, marketing, education, and advocacy to achieve community goals.

NNO on the Square Oct. 731st Annual National Night Out will include food,
fun, and crime prevention
By NATALIE GENTryThe Springtown Police
Department – in conjunction with the National Associa-tion of Town Watch (NATW) – is once again sponsoring National Night Out (NNO) Tuesday, Oct. 7.
From 6 to 9 p.m. Spring-town area residents are in-vited to turn on outside lights and spend the evening on the Springtown Square with neighbors and the depart-ment.
The event on the Square is designed with the whole family in mind. There will be free food and drinks as well as face painting, games, a bounce house, and even a petting zoo.
There will be demonstra-tions by the Springtown Fire Department, CareFlite, and Life Care.
In addition, the evening will feature live music by Wisper Cox.
Community members can also bring canned food items in order to enter the raffle.
All food items will be do-nated to Neighbor to Neigh-bors Food Bank.
The “31st Annual National Night Out” crime prevention event will involve over 37.8 million people in more than 16,124 communities to pro-mote:
• Heighten crime and drug prevention awareness;
• Generate support for, and participation in local anti-crime efforts;
• Strengthen neighborhood
spirit and police-community partnerships; and
• Send a message to crimi-nals letting them know neigh-borhoods are organized and fighting back.
“This is a night for Amer-ica to stand together to pro-mote awareness, safety, and neighborhood unity,” said National Project Coordinator, Matt Peskin. “NNO showcas-es the vital importance of po-lice-community partnerships and citizen involvement in our fight to build a safer na-tion.”

Who Should Take a Daily Aspirin?Heart attacks and strokes are leading causes of death in the United
States for both men and women. Preventable risk factors include highblood pressure, high cholesterol, diabetes, obesity, and smoking. Peoplecan lower their risk of suffering a heart attack or stroke by treating theirmedical conditions, eating healthier, quitting smoking and being physi-cally active. Some people can reduce their risk by taking a daily aspirin.
Aspirin works to protect the heart by preventing blood clots. Clotscan block blood flow in the heart and brain. Clots in the heart and braincan cause heart attacks and strokes, respectively. The U.S. PreventiveServices Task Force (USPSTF) recommends a daily aspirin to preventheart attacks and stroke when the benefit outweighs the risk. However,aspirin is not safe for everyone. It can cause stomach irritation andbleeding. Low dose (81 mg) aspirin has the smallest risk of causingbleeding. It is the recommended dose for most people who should takeaspirin daily. The USPSTF recommends aspirin for men age 45-79 to helpreduce heart attack risk. They recommend aspirin for women age 55-79 tohelp reduce stroke risk. Aspirin is not recommended for men less thanage 45 or women less than age 55. It is important to talk to your doctorbefore starting a daily aspirin.

Porcupine StadiumYou can now whip out your
credit and debit cards to purchase tickets for events at Porcupine Sta-dium.
MasterCard, Visa, and Discover are accepted on site; American Ex-press is not.
A 4-percent processing fee is charged by the processing compa-ny, and that is passed along in the transaction.
But, Athletic Facilities Direc-tor Carl Hornback said, “It’s still cheaper than a trip to the ATM and gas, time, and ATM fees.”
The extra cost ends up being be-
tween 15 and 20 cents more per ticket, he said.
Cards are accepted at the main ticket booth on the north end and the small booth at the northwest corner of the complex.
Plastic is not accepted at the southwest corner of the home stands, aka the “band gate.”
For varsity football, home games remain with Brownwood (Oct. 3 Tailgate Wars and Military and Hero Appreciation Night); Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis (Oct.17, Wall of Fame Game); and Castleberry (Nov. 7, Senior Night).

SHS VB coach a hometown girlby mark k. CamPbellAt the Sept. 23 Optimist
Club meeting, Springtown High School volleyball coach Leighann Strickland said she has long ties to the town.
As Leighann Krey, she was a standout on the last Lady Por-cupine team that advanced to the state tournament in 1995.
After her standout career at SHS, Krey played volleyball at Texas Wesleyan University in Fort Worth.
Then she came back to Springtown to coach and teach.
Married to Shane Strickland, Springtown ISD’s director of transportation, Leighann has been the top Lady Porcupine coach for seven years.
“I was so excited to come back here, to continue the play-off tradition,” she said.
Despite “rebuilding” this
season, Strickland said she has plenty of “great athletes” as well as a veteran leader in senior Brooklyn Dauenhauer.
The SISD program re-mains strong because of the depth of the sport in the com-munity.
Lions Club ball and mid-dle school matches instill a “knowledge of the game” that girls have by the time they reach high school.
Springtown has been to the postseason five of the last seven years.
Winning district could be a chore – the No. 2 team in 4A, Decatur, is in SHS’ district – but Strickland believes her Lady Porcupines will give the Lady Eagles a tussle.
District 8-4A play begins at home Friday, Sept. 26 against Castleberry starting at 5 p.m.

SISD NHS planning Pink Out Oct. 18Activities centered around SHS volleyball, football games
By Natalie GeNtryThe Springtown National
Honor Society is planning the 4th annual Pink Out games October 18 to raise awareness and money for the Joan Katz Breast Cancer Center in Fort Worth.
“Every dollar raised goes to the center,” said Sydney Johnson, the 2014 Pink Out chairperson. “Last year, we were able to raise over $4,000 and this year we hope to raise even more.”
That night the SHS vol-leyball team will play a dis-trict game against Bridge-port and the football team will face off against district rival, Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jarvis.
“We would love to see everyone come out and support Pink Out at both games,” Johnson said.
There are several ways to support or sponsor the event:
• Purchase a Pink Out t-shirt to wear to the event for $10.
• Make a $50 donation and receive recognition during the Pink Out football game.
• A $75 donation will earn verbal recognition during foot-ball game and your name on the Pink Out banner that will be displayed at the football field during October.
• $100+ donations earn two
plugs during the Pink Out foot-ball game and your name in large print in the banner that will be displayed at the field during Oct.
For more information about becoming a Pink Out spon-sor contact Cindy Haugen at [email protected].

White’s Funeral Home will host an Advance Planning Seminar Oct. 9 at 6 p.m.
Those attending the event at 401 North Main Street will hear from speakers about pre-planning funeral needs.
Azle attorney Faye Murphree will speak on wills, estate plans, powers of attorney, and living wills.
Ron Ebert of Covenant Hos-pice will discuss preserving quality of life for those seri-ously ill and about the benefits of hospice care.
A prearrangement specialist, Leon Stone, will talk about fu-neral plans and how to ease fi-nancial and emotional burdens by making plans in advance.
Bob White of White’s Funer-al home said, “It’s important for families to be prepared in case of emergency. We see it every day, how families have to cope when they are unprepared.
“There’s a lot of stress and anxiety compounded by grief and doubt. There’s so much that can be done ahead of time to spare loved ones from need-less pain and worry.”
The event is free. Refresh-ments will be served and door prizes given away.
All attending will received a packet of take-home materials and information.

SEPTEMBER
n SPRINGTOWN, FROM PAGE ONE
n FISCAL, FROM PAGE ONE
Fiscal budget for 2014-15 approvedoffice equipment.There are no major changes
proposed for services.
RevenueThe city projects revenues of
$388,343 for the maintenance and operations and $87,889 for the interest and sinking.
Property tax revenue is pro-jected to be $476,232, an in-crease of $2,862 above last year’s $473,370.
The sales and use tax revenue is anticipated to be $84,450 – an increase of $2,200 above the
anticipated collections for the 2014 fiscal year.
Water rates will increase from $7 to $7.50 per thousand gallons on residential accounts and from $8.75 to $9.25 per thousand gallons on commer-cial accounts.
In addition to the rate in-crease, new accounts and dis-continuing a major portion of the water purchased from Wal-nut Creek, the water revenue is anticipated to increase a to-tal of $119,906 more than last year.
There is also a proposed transfer from the water fund to
the General Fund of $24,000 to repay water leakage related road repairs.
An anticipated $14,600 of street maintenance tax revenue should be raised if the Reno citizens vote for the return of a 1/4 percent (one-fourth of one percent) street maintenance sales tax in the Nov. 4 special election.
“It’s important for the citi-zens of Reno to know that this is not a new tax,” said Mayor Lynda Stokes. “We are reinstat-ing a tax, and to do so we must put it on the ballot.”
“This sales tax will, in fact,
help lighten the burden on the citizens,” she continued. “Any-one (even non-residents) pur-chasing items or services from a Reno business will be con-tributing to the maintenance and repairs of our roads.”
VFD feesThe voluntary $5 per month
donation for the Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) will be re-placed by a $5 per month Pub-lic Safety Surcharge.
According to Mayor Stokes, less than a quarter of a percent of citizens have been paying the $5 VFD donations.
“Our VFD can’t op-erate on less than one fourth of a percent par-ticipation from our resi-dents,” she said
The surcharge will generate approximate-ly $51,000 annually and will be offset by a matching expense ac-count for public safety services.
BudgetA revenue pro-
posal was made of $1,650,040, a decrease of $48,610 or 2.87 percent from 2014’s $1,698,650.
The proposed ex-penditure budget was for $1,650,040, a 0.68 percent decrease of $11,217 from 2013-2014’s $1,661,257.
“We’ve made chang-es to this year’s bud-get, both in format and content, in an effort to make it both a cohesive document for citizens, a usable tool for may-or, council, and staff,” Young said.

Springtown festival still going strong
commercial and ad cam-paign.
The company’s film crew was on site all day recording and documenting the festivi-ties to share with the rest of the country.
“The members of the film crew were great, and it was such an exciting opportunity to be able to showcase our event and our community,” Walker said. “They were extremely complementary of our event and said it completely exceed-ed their expectations.”
The crew caught a glimpse of every venue during their visit, including the parade, the gun-fighters, the Children’s Area, and the BBQ Cook-Off.
“They were on the streets during the parade catching ev-ery single moment; whether that was a child’s face watching a float go by or the Wheeling-
Elvi doing a stunt,” Walker explained. “It was a wonder-ful opportunity to highlight our community and how we all work together to pull off such a successful event.
“Over all it was hugely suc-cessful,” she continued. “I love stopping and visiting with ev-eryone and asking if they are having a good time – the an-swer is always ‘Yes.’”
Now that this year’s festivi-ties are over, Walker and the rest of the organizers already have their sights set on next year and how to the improve the experience.
Walker seems confident that the Wild West Festival will continue to get better with age.
“There are always a few things that we can do better and we will make notes to ad-dress those issues, but I visit several festivals a year and I truly believe ours is one of the best!”

February 29. Before day-break, we saw General Sesma leave his camp with a large body of cav-alry and infantry, and move off in the direction
of Goliad. We think that he must have received news of Colonel Fanning’s coming to our relief. We are all in high spirits at the prospect of being able to give the rascals a fair shake on the plain. The business of being shut up makes a man wolfish. I had a little sport this morning before breakfast. The enemy had planted a piece of ord-nance within gun-shot of the fort dur-ing the night, and the first thing in the morning they commenced a brisked cannonade, point blank, against the spot where I was snoring. I turned out pretty smart and mounted the ram-part. The gun was charged again, a fellow stepped forth to touch her off, but before he could apply the match, I
let him have it, and he keeled over. A second stepped up, snatched the match from the hand of the dying man, but Thimblerig, who had followed me, handed me his rifle, and the next in-stant the Mexican was stretched on the earth beside the first. A third came up to the cannon, my companion handed me another gun, and I fixed him off in like manner. A fourth, then a fifth, seized the match, who both met with the same fate, and then the whole par-ty gave it up as a bad job, and hurried off to the camp, leaving the cannon ready charged where they planted it. I came down, took my bitters, and went to breakfast. Thimblerig told me that the place from which I had been firing was one of the snuggest stands in the whole fort, for he never failed pick-ing off two or three stragglers before breakfast, when perched up there.
And I recollect, now having seen him there, ever since he was wounded,
the first thing in the morn-ing, and the last at night, and at times thoughtlessly playing at his eternal game.
March 1. The enemy’s forces have been increas-ing in num-bers daily, notwithstand-ing they have already lost
about three hundred men in the sev-eral assaults they have made upon us. I neglected to mention in the proper place, that when the enemy came in sight we had but three bushels of corn in the garrison, but have since found eighty bushels in a deserted house.
Colonel Bowie’s illness still contin-ues, but he manages to crawl from his bed every day, that his comrades may see him. His presence alone is a tower of strength. The enemy becomes more daring as his numbers increase.
“March 2. This day the delegates meet in general convention at the town of Washington, to frame our Declara-tion of Independence. That the sacred instrument may never be trampled on by the children of those who have freely shed their bloode to establish it, is the sincere wish of David Crockett.
Universal independence is an al-mighty idea, far too extensive for some brains to comprehend. It is a beautiful seed that germinates rap-idly, and brings forth a large and vig-orous tree, but like the deadly Upas, we sometimes find the smaller plants wither and die in its shades. Its bloom-ing branches spread far and wide, of-fering a perch of safety to all alike, but
even among its protecting branches we find the egle, the kite, and the owl preying upon the helpless dove and sparrow.
Beneath its shades myriads con-gregate in goodly fellowship; but the lamb and the fawn find but frail security from the lion and the jack-al, though the tree of independence waves over them. Some imagine in-dependence to be a natural charter, to exercise without restraint, and to their fullest extent, all the energies, both physical and mental, with which they have been endowed; and for their indi-vidual aggrandizement alone, without regard to the rights of others, provided they extend to all the same privilege and freedom of action. Such indepen-dence is the worst of tyranny.
HISTORICALHIGHLIGHTS
Laurie Moseley

director of Springtown’s Legends Museum.
Davy Crockett and the Alamo’s last days, Part 5
Things keep on a-chang-ing.
Modern Library’s Greatest Book of the 20th Century, Ulysses by James Joyce, was
banned for decades.Back in the day, the word “preg-
nant” could not be uttered on TV.On the radio, “Louie, Louie” was
banned mainly because parents in 1963 – hearing the most popular ver-sion, by the Kingsmen – thought their children were being told vile things through the lyrics. Even though the “obscene” words were anything but, parents – and the FBI! – were sure the
song could not possibly just be about a man at sea pining for a girl.
Spouses Rob and Laura Petrie and Lucy and Ricky Ricardo had to sleep in separate beds on The Dick Van Dyke Show and I Love Lucy.
I remember being startled when David Letterman uttered “*ss” – as in “jawbone of an...” – on TV late one night.
Today, all those one-time horrifying things are tame.
But there’s one subject going around today that’s still hard to get behind: the proliferation of toilet paper com-mercials.
Charmin’s happy bears suggest we
“enjoy the go” as in “We all go; why not enjoy the go?”
Also: “It’s good for your bottom and your bottom line.”
Somehow, I can not see Mr. Whipple utter-ing these lines.
Cot tone l le has ramped up the issue by encouraging
people to use wipes.A cheery lady with a British accent
says, “Let’s talk about your bum.”Their Facebook page has 389,846
likes. And their Twitter account prof-fers “parties” on subjects like “Tell All From Inside the Stall.”
The company is pitching flushable cleansing cloths. After all, if your ba-by’s behind is good enough for a wipe, yours should be, too.
Cottonelle’s bottom line is trying to make a major culture shift – “one bum at a time” – and that ain’t easy.
Not everyone is infatuated with hearing about bathroom habits being heralded by a happy Brit. Comments
on the commercials range from “gar-bage” to “disgusting.”
I understand that old people wish it was still 1953 when the world was so much better, when kids could ride bikes, and neighbors baked pies, and people didn’t talk about their bath-room habits on TV.
(Here comes my big but...) BUT what’s wrong with making life a little easier?
Like the Kingsmen said: “We gotta go now!”
Bummed out about jolly good toilet paper TV ads?
ON YOURMARK
Mark K. Campbell
I had to do something this week that I really hate to do. I turned down a speaking engagement. They are easy to turn down when I am already booked somewhere, but I
actually had this specific time slot open. The prob-lem was that it was about the only open time slot for this whole week, and I knew I would not be able to give my best effort and preparation to it.
Do you ever have those moments when you know you should do the right thing, but you are not sure what the right thing is? I want to take a few sentenc-es to describe a possible 5-step filtering process for determining the R.I.G.H.T. thing to do when those mo-ments come. I hope these filters will be helpful.
1. Can I do this with Respect? Does this choice honor God and everyone concerned? Does it treat every person as one who has equal value to every-one else? Will I respect myself when I have done it?
2. Can I do this with Integrity? Is this choice consistent with my core values? Can I be completely honest and authentic in carrying it out?
3. Can I do this with Grace? Can I see myself as an imperfect person who is seeking to give other imperfect persons a positive and challenging tar-get for their aim or will I simply be a critic that points out everything that is wrong with their world?
4. Can I do this with Hope? Do I re-ally believe that positive steps are pos-sible? Do I really believe that doing the right thing really, really matters?
5. Can I do this with Thankfulness? Can I be thankful for the opportunity? Can I be thankful for the challenge? Can I be thankful for the people in-volved?
Whether the choice is between the right thing and the wrong thing or between the right thing among sev-eral good options, I think these 5-steps provide a good processing tool. Of course my personal con-viction is that I need God to lead me through each step of the process.
James 1:5 says, “If you need wisdom, ask our gen-erous God, and he will give it to you.” So, He helps us answer those questions ac-curately.
Proverbs 21:3 says, “To do what is right and just is
more acceptable to the Lord than sac-rifice.” So, our choices really matter to Him.
1 Peter 3:14-15 says, “But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. ‘Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened.’ But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord.”
So, we must never assume that the right thing is the easy or comfortable thing. It may actually cause us dis-comfort or worse. But it also defines who we are and whose we are.
Interestingly, the topic I was asked to speak on was “doing the right thing.” I’ll be ready next time. Thanks for helping me prepare.
Thoughts on how you can do the R.I.G.H.T. thing

Nov. 4, the first of two sched-uled gubernatorial debates was held in the Rio Grande Valley city of Edinburg on Sept. 19.
Democratic Party nomi-nee for governor Wendy Da-vis, a state senator from Fort Worth, and Republican Party gubernatorial nominee Greg Abbott, Texas attorney gen-eral, fielded questions from Carlos Sanchez, editor of The Monitor, a daily newspaper in McAllen, and Telemundo’s McAllen news anchor Dalila Garza. Abbott and Davis re-sponded to questions for 60

minutes on topics such as bor-der security, economic devel-opment, education and edu-cation funding, abortion and visions of the future.
On education, Abbott said, “I want to put our trust where it belongs, and that is with our teachers, and get all these one-size-fits-all mandates from Austin, Texas, off the backs of our teachers.” Davis said she voted against legislation that cut $5.4 billion from the state education budget and that Abbott has been defending those cuts in court ever since they were passed and those cuts have led to overcrowded classrooms and teacher lay-offs, and shortchanged school children. Davis said as gover-nor she would “fight to make
sure our schools have more resources, not less.”
Davis confronted Abbott over a comment he made in February, in which he seemed to express a view that law en-forcement problems in the Rio Grande Valley were like “third-world country practices that erode the social fabric of our communities.” Abbott said he was in Dallas when he made the comment, and he was not referring to the Rio Grande Val-ley in particular, but to fighting corruption statewide.
The next gubernatorial de-bate is set for Sept. 30 in Dal-las.
Texas adds jobs in AugustTexas Workforce Com-
mission on Sept. 19 reported
Texas added 20,100 season-ally adjusted total non-farm jobs in August, and over the year, employers have added 395,200 total non-farm jobs.
And while the unemployment rate was 5.3 percent in August — up slightly from 5.1 percent in July — it remained below the national unemploy-ment rate of 6.1 percent.
Every major in-dustry in Texas showed positive annual growth, said TWC Commission-er Representing Employers Hope Andrade.
Andres Alcantar, chair of the Texas Workforce Commission, encouraged Texas veterans to visit their local Workforce Solutions of-fice “to take advantage of the many tools and services that allow them to translate their military skills and experience into good-paying civilian jobs.”
Statue honors innocent manGov. Rick Perry was present
in Lubbock on Sept. 17 for the dedication of a statue honor-ing the late Timothy Brian Cole, a Texas Tech University student who was wrongfully convicted of rape and died in
prison in 1999, after 14 years of incarceration. Perry granted Cole, who always maintained his innocence, a posthumous
pardon in 2010.At the ceremony,
Perry spoke in hon-or of Cole and rec-ognized Cole’s late mother, Ruby Cole Session, who was instrumental in passing legislation that created the Tim Cole Advisory Panel on Wrong-ful Convictions, allowing families of deceased exon-erees a process to receive funds from the state for their wrongful convic-tion.
Cole’s case was brought by the Texas Inno-cence Project, an organization that fought for DNA testing in 2008 that ultimately proved his innocence.
Deposit sets state recordThe Texas General Land
Office on Sept. 17 reported its deposit of more than $1 bil-lion into the state’s Permanent School Fund, “crushing all previous records.”
Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson said the record earn-ings that made such a large deposit possible “are due in large part to hydraulic fractur-ing technologies, which has
private companies competing to outbid each other for access to Permanent School Fund lands that previously were of marginal value.”
Now valued in excess of $34 billion, the Permanent School Fund helps pay for the state’s share of elementary and sec-ondary public education.
Included in the record-breaking deposit was more than $461 million from “sav-vy investments,” Patterson said. “We’ve had a good run,” added Patterson, who will leave office when his term ex-pires in January.
Agriculture chief to step down
Texas Agriculture Commis-sioner Todd Staples on Sept. 18 announced he would step down as head of the Texas Department of Agriculture “within the next two months to ensure a smooth transi-tion.”
On the same day, the Austin-based Texas Oil & Gas Associ-ation named Staples president of their 5,500-member organi-zation.
Staples will succeed Rob Looney, who is retiring at the end of 2014 after 26 years with the association.

Of all the weeks in the foot-ball contest – 11 of them – the one that ran last week was like-ly the toughest.
That’s because an open date for the Porcupines forces the selection of games that many contestants are probably not too familiar with.
So someone predicting every game correctly is impressive.
And three prognosticators getting every game right is downright freaky.
But that’s what happened last week.
The tie-breaker of Dallas 34, St. Louis 31 (45) decided who got what cash.
Yet even that didn’t sort things out – a pair of contes-tants guessed the same on the tie-breaker.
So, with predictions of 48 each, Woody Young and Eddy Swanzy won the combined first and second place cash, earning $15 each.
Despite a perfect card, James Franklin had to settle for third and $5; his guess was 38.
By maRK K. CamPBeLLTwo more volleyball wins
put the Lady Porcupines safely over .500 as district play finally nears.
Springtown (16-14) recov-ered from a slow start to beat Krum 3-1.
SHS lost the opening match, 16-25 but bounced back to win 25-19, 25-22, 27-25.
Coach Leighann Strickland said, “We played much better. Our defense hustled and pur-sued balls that we haven’t got-ten before.
“Everyone played well.”That included standout se-
nior Brooklyn Dauenhauer who lead her teammates with 17 kills. She also impressed with 21 digs, 14 assists, and 3 aces.
Kaitlyn Hill’s 5 aces stymied Krum.
SHS piled up 98 digs, includ-ing 22 from Mackensie Martin and 21 by Kendyl Dean.
Springtown blocked 7 balls with Ashton Weaver getting
credit for 2.5 of them.In the final tune-up before
district begins against Castle-berry Friday, Sept. 26, SHS swept Breckenridge 25-12, 25-14, 25-18.
Martin served 4 aces while Weaver and Sydney Farris had 2 apiece.
By maRK K. CamPBeLLOff weeks allow for recovery
and, for new Springtown foot-ball coach Brian Hulett, several more days to get his Porcupines more accustomed to him and his staff.
The Porcupines (2-1) smashed Wichita Falls Hirschi 51-29 on Homecoming Sept. 12.
Then came the off week.Now, there is no more rest.
Non-district action resumes when Springtown takes a long trip to Vernon, 142 miles and more than 2 hours northwest.
Awaiting there are the 2-2 Lions.
Vernon lost its first two games – at state-ranked Gra-ham, 45-21, and at Altus, Okla-homa 20-13.
When the Lions won in week three, it was big. Running back Isaiah Love ran for almost 400 yards in a 41-7 blowout of Burkburnett.
Last week, Vernon beat the same Hirschi squad the Porcu-pines took down earlier; VHS

Trends in Hollywood are always copied. When teens flocked to Young Adult (YA) novel adaptations thanks to Harry Potter, Twilight, and The Hunger Games, the rush was on.
Yet, fickle teenagers have turned their collective noses up at most of the latest YA cin-ematic efforts.
About the film
The list of misfires is long, including the still in theaters (if you hurry) The Giver as well as recent releases like Beautiful Creatures, The Host, and The Mortal Instruments.
A couple with sequel pos-sibilities have been decent successes, but they were not monster breakouts as hoped. Ender’s Game (2013, Movie Man No. 1060, a 6) and Di-vergent weren’t giant hits but could get sequels – the latter for sure (Insurgent, currently set for March 20, 2015; Divergent took in $151 million in Amer-ica – the Movie Man skipped Divergent for 300: Rise of an Empire [MM #1079, 7]), the former maybe.
Still, the YA wave could be fading. It’s too early to tell if The Maze Runner’s $32-plus million dollar take in its first week will be enough to inspire further adaptations.
However, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 will be massive (it could reel in Guardians of the Galaxy [which should end up around $340 million] as the biggest movie of 2014). That, and a good showing by next year’s Insurgent might be enough to keep the YA trend going.
One negative aspect for YA movies is that they don’t per-form well worldwide. Unlike action movies, a lukewarm U.S. reception to a teen film bodes poorly for overseas take; however, even a “bomb” action film takes in big money elsewhere.
For example, The Expend-
Some call it Maze: YA film kind of corny lateables 3 has made just $38.9 million so far this summer; it’ll likely peak at $40 million. But internationally, the film has taken in another $150.1 million.
So The Expendables 4 might show up well before Ender’s Game 2.
The plot (spoiler)
Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) awakens to find himself in a rising metal mesh elevator. When it stops, several young men, in their teens and early 20’s, peer down at him.
O’Brien does not know why he’s there or even his name. He learns from the group’s leader, Alby (Ami Ameen), that he is the monthly arrival from the mysterious eleva-tor, along with some supplies. Ameen explains that a group of males lives and survives in “the glade” that’s completely surrounded by a massive wall.
One part of the wall opens daily and contains a gigantic, changing maze. The group survives by taking specific jobs, farmers, shelter-build-ers, etc.
The elite job is “runner” – speedy dudes who race through the maze, mapping it, and making sure they return by nightfall.
Monstrous creatures patrol the twists and turns at night and no “glader” has ever lived through the night in the maze. O’Brien earns the respect of most of his mates with a brave act and earns the honor of be-coming a runner.
Then something happens that has never occurred to the boys before – a girl arrives in the elevator, clutching a note that says she will be the last person sent.
When O’Brien kills one of the maze monsters, a “griev-er,” a metallic “key” is found inside it. He determines that the way to the group’s salva-tion is to enter the maze and use the key at the appropriate
part of the maze, No. 7.Not everyone agrees, espe-
cially when grievers leave that maze and ravage the glade, and some, led by tough guy Gally (Will Poulter), refuse to enter the maze.
Grievers descend on the group inside as they struggle to get to No. 7. They succeed but find something they did not expect. Then something else they didn’t expect. Then, a final twist that sets up a se-quel.
What works
Early on, The Maze Runner is very effective and mysterious. Figuring out what’s going on is fun then. (But also see What doesn’t work.) O’Brien is good as the confused guy who keeps having queer dreams that hold the key to what’s up.
There’s not a lot of computer generation here, and that’s OK. The maze is cool and so are the grievers. The soundtrack gives away clues that the crit-ters aren’t what they seem and point to a not very surprising twist late.
(The aural tactic was used to much greater effect in the unfairly maligned Vanilla Sky [2001, MM #434, 6].)
The Movie Man was dis-tressed initially that O’Brien sure figures things out easily; how did he know the metallic cylinder was a key?
And why should they en-ter No. 7 where gladers know that’s where all the grievers are?
Then one of the twist end-ings made it make a little more sense. That was a nice move.
Best scene
The escaping group has ma-neuvered through the maze and battled several grievers to get to No. 7. A coded door is opened and they enter into a long hall-way.
That leads to a small door that simply reads, “Exit.” After all they’ve been through, one of the gladers says, “Seriously?” at the obviousness of it all. That was the best (and lone) chuckle
in the movie. What doesn’t work (spoiler)The characters are fuzzy,
and the female, Teresa (Kaya Scodelario), whose role is vital, kind of disappears.
The initial twist is so obvious (hint: the best horror movie of the last 10 years, The Cabin in the Woods [MM #978, 8] got there first two years ago) that it feels like an insult.
There is such a horrible cli-ché in the movie that it got docked a point. It’s the ol’ take-a-bullet-for-the-leader-but-ask-him-to-deliver-your-beloved-homemade-trinket-to-your-parents-as-you-die bit. It’s unintentionally funny.
The greatest crime is the bla-tant way The Maze Runner sets up its sequel hopes; a character literally says as the movie’s last line that now it’s time for “phase two.” The final 10 min-utes are horribly cliché and a bummer.
The rating
This is a mild PG-13. There are scary monsters and some creature gooey innards are shown. Boys fight and cuss, but it’s really not explicit.
Summing up
In a few words, The Maze Runner is Lord of the Flies
meets Lost. It started great and petered out. But the Movie Man would pop into a sequel – if it happens.
Next up
The Equalizer with the great Denzel Washington.
After that, here’s what the Movie Man is looking at (plan accordingly, knowing things might change): Gone Girl (Oct. 3); Dracula Untold (Oct. 10); Fury (Oct. 17 [it has a great trailer]); Kings-man: The Secret Service (Oct. 24); Nightcrawler (Oct. 31): and Interstellar (Nov. 7, the Movie Man’s most anticipat-ed movie of 2014).

SECONDHAND SMOKE HURTS THEM. YOU JUST CAN’T SEE IT.
Just because you can’t see the effects of secondhand smoke doesn’t mean
they’re not there. Exposing your children to tobacco smoke means exposing
them to tobacco-related health issues and chronic diseases. And every
day in North Texas, our children are exposed, whether at public places like
restaurants or even in their own homes. Learn more about the long-term
effects secondhand smoke has on our kids and the benefits of tobacco-free
environments at LongLiveParkerCounty.com.

Our national anthem turns 200 ‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ began as a poem
by mark k. campbellThe British were bombing
Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor on Sept. 13, 1814.
Already in the War of 1812, the invaders had burned the U.S. Capitol, the Treasury Building, and the presidential home.
Now, watching The Battle of Baltimore from sea, Fran-cis Scott Key, an attorney and amateur poet, was sure the Brit-ish were about to claim another victory.
For 25 hours, Fort McHenry was pounded relentlessly while Key sat in his ship in the har-bor, watched over by enemy
vessels.He had boarded British boats
earlier, trying to negotiate for the release of a captured sur-geon.
The attack was so fierce that Key said, “It seemed as though mother earth had opened and was vomiting shot and shell in a sheet of fire and brimstone.”
Dawn neared, and Key was certain the Union Jack would be flying over Fort McHenry.
But it was not.At “the dawn’s early light,”
the American flag still flew; no surrender was made and the British retreated.
Pen to paper at seaKey started writing his poem
on the back of a letter while still on his ship. He put his words to a then-popular English tune, “The Anacreontic Song.”
His brother-in-law, a com-mander at Fort McHenry, read it, passed it out among his men, and had it published in the Bal-timore Patriot newspaper as “Defence of Fort M’Henry.”
Soon, with a new title – “The Star-Spangled Banner” – the poem was printed across Amer-ica.
While Key might have bor-rowed a phrase from Shake-speare – who twice used “star”
and “spangled” together in plays – it was Key who came up with “In God We Trust” in verse four:
Then conquer we must, when our cause is just,
And this be our motto: ‘In God is our trust.’
Today, In God We Trust adorns our currency.
Becoming an anthemIt took some doing to make
“The Star-Spangled Banner” our national anthem.
The tune was adopted by the North during the Civil War, along with “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” (The South sang “Di-xie.”)
In the late 1800’s, the mili-tary used the song for ceremo-nial purposes. By 1917, the army and navy played “The Star-Spangled Banner” at all ceremonies.
Other patriotic songs were popular – “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” and “Hail, Columbia” especially.
But, a move was underway in America to make “The Star-Spangled Banner” the official national anthem.
However, it took decades.President Woodrow Wilson
had signed an order naming the song the national anthem for military ceremonies in 1916.
But the tune was still not considered universally as the nation’s anthem.
Politically, no fewer than 40 attempts at getting it so desig-nated failed.
Finally, Congress got it done, on March 3, 1931, and Presi-dent Herbert Hoover signed it into law.Photo by Paula Campbell

Tires are the link between a vehicle and the roadway, and tire quality has a direct impact on the performance and safety of an automobile. But tire main-tenance is easy to overlook. However, ignoring tire mainte-nance can threaten driver and passenger safety and make a ve-hicle operate inefficiently.
Steering, breaking ability and traction are all governed by good tires. Worn tread can result in longer stopping times and make it difficult to brake immediately in an emergency situation. Although driving tends to be the primary cul-prit behind worn down tires, sometimes bald or unevenly worn out tread is indicative of a larger problem, such as a mis-aligned wheelbase, improperly aligned tires or tires that are underinflated. The following are some common problems associated with tires and how to address these issues should
they arise.Blowouts
Worn tire treads increase the risk of punctures, which can lead to blowouts. Bald tires also may blowout as a result of friction on roadways that is met with minimal rubber. Getting caught on the side of the road with a tire blowout can be a hassle, so routinely check tire treads and replace tires accordingly.
Tread depthAverage new tires on cars
usually start with 10/32 inch to 11/32 inch of original tread depth. When tread reaches a depth of 2/32 inch, they are considered worn out. There are different ways to gauge tread depth. Insert a penny into the tread groove with Lincoln’s head upside down and facing you. If you can see all of Lin-coln’s head, it is time to replace the tires. Another coin test is to insert a quarter into the groove.
If the tread touches Washing-ton’s head, you have at least 4/32 inch of tread left. Don’t have any currency on hand? Then look at the treadwear indicator bar molded into the tires. When these bars become flush with the adjacent ribs of the tire, the tires should be re-placed.
AlignmentAccording to the Rubber
Manufacturers Association, improper alignment causes
rapid or uneven treadwear. Tires should be aligned and balanced periodically to avoid irregular wear and having to re-place tires prematurely.
Tread patternTires feature different tread
patterns depending on the brand of tire. They may be directional, asymmetrical, nondirectional, and directional/asymmetrical. When purchasing replacement
tires, it is adviseable to match the tread pattern to the existing tires. This helps enhance the performance of the car. In fact, some newer cars require tread to match. Mismatched treads may cause problems with trans-mission shifting or impact con-trol and steadiness.
Tire pressureUnderinflation of tires can
cause failure, stress and irregu-lar wear. Underinflated tires also may contribute to loss of control that leads to accidents. Always maintain the manu-facturer’s recommendations for the correct pressure, which should be adjusted based on the temperature.
Tires should undergo the same inspection and mainte-nance as other parts of the ve-hicle. Tires are a vital compo-nent to safe driving, and routine maintenance can prevent acci-dents and other problems.

The road can be unpredict-able, and many things can com-promise driver safety. Though some of these things, like smartphones and loud music, are easily avoided distractions, some safety risks require a little more effort to overcome.
Such is the case with cloudy headlights. Cloudy headlights can compromise a driver’s vi-sion, putting motorists and their passengers at risk of accident and injury. Though it’s easy to overlook headlights when per-forming routine vehicle main-tenance, drivers should know that, as headlights age, they become discolored and develop a hazy or yellowed appearance due to exposure to the sunlight, pollution, ozone and chemicals used in car washes. As head-lights become increasingly hazy, they emit less light and glare increases significantly.
“Driving with headlights that have become clouded over
time leaves drivers vulnerable to risky driving conditions,” said Ann-Marie Hines, Senior Marketing Manager of Philips Automtoive. “These dim head-lights function improperly for drivers, limiting the amount of light on the road, and actually dramatically increase the glare that other drivers see.”
Fortunately, ensuring optimal headlight performance can be relatively simple and dramati-cally improve visibility, ensur-ing the safety of drivers and their passengers.
* Clean headlights before driving in inclement weather. Drivers know to clean their windshields before hitting the road in snowstorms, but few drivers exercise the same cau-tion with their headlights. Salt from snowy roads or debris blown about from seasonal winds can accumulate on head-light lenses, decreasing their effectiveness and light output
as a result. So before hitting the road in inclement weather, be sure to remove any dirt or film from headlight lenses that might have built up over time.
* Address headlight issues before they appear. Though headlights will inevitably wear down over time, drivers can still take preventative measures to improve the performance of their headlights so their vis-ibility is not compromised. The Philips Headlight Restoration Kit includes a pre-treatment that provides long-lasting UV protection for headlight lenses. Thanks to the kit, which also includes a cleaner/polish and restorer/protector, drivers can restore a headlight lens in as lit-tle as 30 minutes. Drivers hesi-tant to perform their own res-toration can calm their nerves by taking advantage of a short how-to video that shows mo-torists how to restore headlight lens clarity in a matter of min-
utes. The video, which can be found at www.philipsautolight-ing.com/headlightkit, can help drivers restore their headlights to “like new” quality while in-creasing visibility and reducing glare.
* Replace headlight bulbs. Much like light bulbs used in a home, headlight bulbs tend to wear down over time. Humid-ity, electrical resistance, fila-ment fatigue and general usage combine to reduce the light out-put of headlight bulbs, which experts recommend should be replaced every two years.
When replacing headlight bulbs, drivers can upgrade ex-isting bulbs with a new genera-tion of high performance light bulbs that mark a dramatic im-provement over the traditional halogen bulbs which are stan-dard on many vehicles. Philips Upgrade Headlight Bulbs are designed to put substantially more light on the road while
creating a better beam pattern that is much longer than that produced by standard halogen bulbs. Available in a variety of brands, these uniquely designed bulbs are even tailored to meet specific driver’s needs, ensuring commuters, soccer moms and sports enthusiasts won’t fall vic-tim to poor visibility no matter where their travels take them.
* Routinely clean your ve-hicle’s glass and mirrors. Dirty and aging headlight lenses are not the only thing that can com-promise a driver’s vision on the road. Debris and film buildup on windshield glass and on
rear- and side-view mirrors can reduce vision, especially for drivers who smoke inside their vehicles. Make cleaning the glass and mirrors inside and outside of your vehicle part of your routine vehicle mainte-nance. Such cleaning won’t take very long, but it will sig-nificantly improve visibility. When cleaning side-view mir-rors, be sure to properly adjust them to eliminate blind spots.
