School District experienced an ele-vated number of students and teachers out with “a stomach bug” last Friday Dec. 12 and Monday Dec. 15.
Superintendent Mike Kelley not-ed that while any number of viruses or bacteria could be causing these illness-es (characterized by inflammation in the stomach and intes-tines), the district ad-ministration and medi-cal personnel believe there is likely a virus behind symptoms in-cluding stomach pain, nausea, diarrhea, and in some cases, fever, headache and body aches.
These symptoms mirror those caused by food poisoning and influenza – the flu.
“I have received several calls and e-mails about this situation,” Kelley said. “Given the symptoms, it was log-ical to initially think that food poison-ing may be causing these illnesses.”
However, Kelley noted that there was little consistency regarding foods consumed by the students and em-ployees who became ill.
Some of the students and employ-ees who became ill had eaten chicken from the school cafeteria while others had pizza.
In fact, a significant number of those who became ill actually brought their food from home.
The fact that the onset of the illness-es was staggered between Thursday, Friday, and Saturday, makes a food poisoning diagnosis more difficult to attach to many of the cases.
“While several students were di-agnosed with the flu, and two diag-nosed with food poisoning, I think it
is likely that there is a virus – stomach bug – going around, and apparently it is quite contagious,” Kelley said. “Fortunately, the bug appears to be fairly short-lived, and it appears that in most cases recovery oc-curs within one to two days.
It has been almost a decade since the dis-trict’s attendance has
been affected this much by an illness.“Springtown Middle School’s atten-
dance rate was down about one percent below normal last Friday morning, and less than a dozen students became symptomatic during the afternoon.” Kelley said. “Monday’s district-wide attendance rate was down about five percent below average.”
Although small, those numbers do warrant concern, and the SISD cus-todial director was asked to have a cleaning crew sanitize common areas, bathrooms, water fountains, door han-dles, and desks on Sunday night.
As a precaution, the custodial crew continued to perform heavy cleaning for the remainder of the week.
By Natalie GeNtryA bomb scare had Springtown Mid-
dle School under evacuation Dec. 2.An Emergency Response Team
(EMRT) comprised of Springtown po-lice and school officials searched the campus after a note was found in one of the boys restrooms.
SMS administration evacuated the building at approximately 1:30 p.m. so that the EMRT could complete their search and sweep of the campus, ac-cording to Springtown Police Lieuten-ant Curtis Stone.
The students and faculty were ini-tially moved to the old Porcupine Sta-dium and then to Springtown Interme-diate School.
Once the EMRT cleared the build-ing students returned to class.
The administrative staff later had time to review video surveillance and successfully determined the author of
the threatening note that led to the dis-ruption.
According to Superintendent Mike Kelley, disciplinary consequences outlined in the district’s Student Code of Conduct – as well as the Texas Edu-cation Code – will provide guidance and direction as they proceed.
ConsequencesBomb threats and other terroristic
threats are serious crimes that carry serious consequences through both the school district and law enforce-ment agencies.
According to the district’s Student Code of Conduct, a student who en-gages in conduct relating to a false alarm or report (including a bomb threat) or terroristic threat involving a public school must be placed in Dis-ciplinary Alternative Education Pro-gram (DEAP).
This program will be provided in a
setting other than the student’s regular classroom.
Students placed in DEAP are not allowed to participate in any school sponsored or school related extracur-ricular or co-curricular activity in-cluding holding honorary positions and membership in school-sponsored clubs and organizations.
In addition, according to the Texas Penal Code, terrorist threats that im-pair public or government services are a third-degree felony offense. Mak-ing a false alarm or report (including a bomb threat) in a public school is a state jail felony.
Making a false bomb threat is a fed-eral offense punishable under United States Code 18-844e with a penalty of up to ten years in prison, $250,000 fine, or both.
This penalty also applies to juvenile offenders.

A Culinary ChristmasSpringtown High School students demonstrate skills at holiday eventBy Natalie GeNtry
Room 129 at Springtown High School (SHS) was abuzz with activ-ity Friday, Dec. 12 as Kristi Hulme and the Culinary Arts students treated family and faculty to delicious finger foods during the fifth annual “Culi-nary Christmas.”
The event gives third and fourth year Culinary students a chance to demonstrate their prowess in the kitchen and provides guests with tasty treats to enjoy.
Culinary Christmas is one of the events Hulme utilizes to give her stu-dents the opportunity to demonstrate what they have learned in class to an extended group.
Other events have included catering a Springtown Chamber of Commerce luncheon and creating the desserts for the 2014 Chamber banquet.
Inspiring future chefsHulme typically has as many boys
enrolled in her program as she does girls, a fact which may surprise a few.
“Food Network has had a large im-pact on my classes… They all want to be chefs,” Hulme said. “I have 75 stu-dents enrolled in my Hospitality Pro-gram and 20 Culinary Students.”
These students learn about food safety and sanitation and can even earn the ServSafe certification, which Hulme said can make an impression with employers in the restaurant in-dustry. She has also had multiple stu-dents turn their love of food and cook-ing into careers.
“I’ve had 10 students go on to cu-linary school,” she noted. “Some are working as chefs, and I just had one graduate from the University of North Texas with a degree in Hotel and Res-taurant Management. He plans on opening his own place.”
Hulme – the 2013 Springtown Ed-ucational Foundation’s Educator of the Year – is in her 21st year with the Springtown Independent School Dis-trict, and her fifth year for her culinary program.
“When I open doors for a student’s career field, it is very rewarding, but my main goal is to equip my students with skills they will use throughout their lifetime,” Hulme said.
“I have the quote ‘The fondest memories are made when gathered around the table’ painted on my class-room wall and making memories with my students is as important to me as the skills I teach them,” she said.

The Bryants Company are the best at what they do. That’s what readers of the Weatherford Democrat decided when The Bryants Company was voted Reader’s Choice for Best Real Estate Company in 2010 and 2013.
The company was begun by John and Barbara Bryant. Married for 56 years and active at Friendship Baptist Church since 1969, John started the company in Springtown in 1974 after graduating from TCU. Barbara, owner and broker, joined John in 1975. The duo opened an office in Weatherford in 1979.
Both have served in their communities. John was a Springtown Lions Club member, serving years as secretary. He was the Parker County Association Realtor of the Year in 1983 and 1993. He has also served on that group’s board of directors for years and was president in 1993. John also served on the Texas Association of Realtors from 1988-92 and on the Central Tax Authority Board of Directors from 1982-87.
Barbara received the Parker County Realtor Associate Award in 1983 and Realtor of the Year in 1990. She has served as the group’s Education Committee Chairman for years. Barbara was the Democrat’s Reader’s Choice for Best Realtor in 2007 and 2010. She was also the Weatherford Chamber of Commerce Small Business Person of the Year in 2001.
Dana Bryant graduated from Texas Tech in 1987 with a BBA in Finance with an emphasis in Real Estate. She joined the family business in 1997, got a salesperson license in 1998, and earned a broker license in 2002. She, too, owns a slew of honors, including the 2006 Realtor of the Year Award from the Greater Metro West Association that she joined in 1998. She served on the Board of Directors there in 2002-10 and as president in 2010. She serves on several committees including the Education Committee.
Bruce O. Bryant joined the family business
in 1996. He achieved his salesperson license in 2001. Bruce is the Commercial and Residential Property Manager for The Bryants Company and is also involved in the subdivision development of the business.
Mechelle Bryant graduated from TCU in 1999 with a degree in Education and taught at Reno Elementary for five years. She joined the family business in 2004, the same year she obtained her salesperson license. She earned her brokers license in 2011. She is a member of the Greater Metro West Association and has served on several committees for years.
Bill Cameron trained to become an engineer, banker, or economist; he chose to become a broad spectrum real estate practitioner involved in sales, land acquisition, development, and mortgage banking for more than two decades. Recent legislative changes have now focused his passion to development and utility expansion. These issues will be his goals for the next 20 years.
Cheryl Cates has been working at The Bryants Company for years. A mother of three and married for 46 years, Cheryl has served on the Board of Directors and the Educational Committee of the Parker County/Weatherford Association of Realtors. She has won the group’s Spirit Award.
The Bryants Company has two offices – 1003 East Hwy. 199 in Springtown and at 815 North Main Street in Weatherford and has been in business for 40 years.
The businesses are open Monday-Friday from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m., Saturday from 9-1, and by appointment.
With their vast experience, The Bryants Company has been helping generations of families achieve their real estate dreams and are ready to serve you, too.

Exodus: Holy Mosesstaff for Moses, the natural explana-
tion for the plagues, and no finger of God writing the 10 commandments.
The movie is boring in later stretch-es. And it doesn’t know when to end; some classic Bible stories concerning Moses are comically rushed over in the final 10 minutes.
Sigourney Weaver is barely in Exodus: Gods and Kings despite her fourth billing. She’s in just a couple of scenes. Moses’ brothers get short shift, too; their major Biblical roles are near invisible.
The Movie Man went out of his way to see the movie in 3-D and, except for a few shots, it wasn’t necessary.
The rating
There’s a lot of warring early on
and all those plagues with maggots, savage crocodiles, frogs, and even a shark attack that made Movie Wife giggle will look a little scary to some. The PG-13 is right. Summing up
You have to hand it to the major studios: Aside from trying to grab those religious moviegoers’ bucks, they’re having a go at the major Bi-ble stories.
Too bad they’ve already been done better. It’s impossible to watch Exodus: Gods and Kings – and es-pecially Bale, and not think of The Ten Commandments and Charlton Heston.

SISD duo honored at UNTTwo Springtown Indepen-
dent School District (SISD) teachers were honored by the Texas Regional Collaborative (TRC) for Excellence in Sci-ence and Mathematics.
Wendy Kennedy, sixth grade science teacher at Springtown Intermediate School and Terri Massey, Chemistry teacher at Springtown High School were acknowledged at the Univer-sity of North Texas in Denton.
Honoring the Teachers events such as this one pro-vides a forum to recognize par-ticipating teachers and engage policy makers, legislators, and state leaders in the program.
Kennedy and Massey are part of the TRC Teacher Men-tor Program, which requires over 100 hours of professional
development.Teachers participating in this
program attend development seminars and hands-on work-shops on various Saturdays to prepare to mentor other teach-ers.
In addition, these educators ex-pand the reach of TRC programs far beyond immediate impact to their peers by facilitating work-shops within the district.
TRC studies have proven one mentor can impact from 100 to 740 elementary to sec-ondary students with as few as five workshop participants.
These programs equip teach-ers with the necessary knowl-edge and skills to engage stu-dents in meaningful science and mathematics learning ex-periences.
Activities are designed to improve students’ scientific thinking, their mathematical and technological literacy, and interest to pursue science and engineering related careers.
The TRC has served over 1.5 million students across Texas through improved instruction and performance of participat-ing teachers; developed the leadership capacity of approxi-mately 16,000 Science Teach-ers Mentors (STMs) through sustained and high intensity professional development.
These STMs are in turn sharing their experiences with thousands of teachers through mentoring, peer coaching, technical assistance, and work-shops at the campus, district, and regional levels.
Two SISD teachers, Wendy Kennedy (left) and Terri Massey (right) with Springtown Intermediate Principal Joe Brown, were recently honored by the Texas Regional Collaborative at a ceremony honoring both instructors for clocking over 100 hours in professional development.

The
That must have been some STRONG coffee!”
The quote gets my vote (and Mrs. Sweet-ie’s) for the
best response to a picture I posted to Facebook a few days ago. Part of my morn-ing ritual is to bring her a cup of coffee and a granola bar when she gets up in the morning. (Retirement has its perks, but I digress.) I had carried this cup full of coffee to her and when she picked it up to drink it, the handle came off in her hand. Thankfully, the cup barely moved from the counter top and we only had a minor spill to clean up.
Not one to waste a photo-op, I cap-tured the moment and posted to Face-book. Of 15 comments received, the one above topped the list for creative interpretation.
I recently read a quote from famed American artist, Andrew Wyeth. In 50 years of work, he only painted landscapes surrounding his home in Chadds Ford, Pennsylvania and his family’s summer house in Cushing, Maine. The quote: “Most artists look for something fresh to paint; frankly I find that quite boring. For me it is much more exciting to find fresh meaning in something familiar.”
I want you to pause right now and pon-der that. No, seriously, I mean it! Stop reading and give yourself 30 seconds to ponder that quote. Wait for it…hold it…you may now continue reading (and I would really appreciate it if you did).
So, what thoughts did you have in your 30-second pit stop in Ponder-

land? I wish I could have a conversa-tion with each of you right now so I could learn from your perspective.
I think that is the key – perspective! What if, in-stead of only looking for something new and revo-lutionary, we spent time interpreting the familiar in new and revolutionary ways? In many ways, I am a technology nerd, but in the past couple of years I have found new joy in “re-purposing” old items.
For example, the head-board above our bed is made from three doors that came out of my dad’s house when he remodeled over 40 years ago. I recent-
ly bought an antique upright piano that I am going to transform into a custom desk. I am trying to look at old things with fresh eyes.
As I write this, Christmas is nine days away. What if we approached our Christmas traditions with fresh eyes? What if we learned to tell ancient truth with fresh perspective?
“Do not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the RENEWING of your mind.” (Romans 12:2)…“For I am about to do something NEW. See, I have al-ready begun! Do you not see it?” (Isa-iah 43:19)…“And the one sitting on the throne said, ‘Look, I am making every-thing NEW!’” (Revelation 21:5)
Listen. Can you hear God’s ques-tions: “Do you see what I see? Do you know your life matters?”
On December 8, 2014, the US Sen-ate Intelligence Committee released the long delayed report on the CIA Interrogation Methods conducted post 9/11 on suspected terrorists.
There was an immediate uproar and debate about timing of release, con-tent, blame, and should the report be released at all from both Congressio-nal parties and the media.
I think that America should reflect deeply our ideals; there should be na-tional debate, but I also feel that only one person on the national stage has life experiences that can address this issue: Senator John McCain (AZ-R).
He was a prisoner of North Viet-nam during the war, was tortured, and through this experience only he (and others like him) can define America’s use of “enhanced interrogation tech-niques” as torture or not.
Senator McCain gave a floor state-ment on Dec. 9 after the release of the report. I am quoting passages of his words, not the entire statement. He re-flects my opinion and his words need to be heard:
“Mr. President, I rise in support of the release – the long delayed release – of the Senate Intelligence Commit-tee’s summarized, unclassified review of the so-called “enhanced interroga-tion techniques” that were employed by the previous administration to ex-tract information from captured terror-ists. It is a thorough and thoughtful study of practices that I believe not only failed their purpose – to secure actionable intelligence to prevent fur-ther attacks on the U.S. and our allies – but actually damaged our security interests, as well as our reputation as
a force for good in the world.“I believe the American people have
the right – indeed a responsibility – to know what was done in their name: how these practices did or did not serve our interests; and how they comported with our most important values.
“...They must know when the values that define our nation are intentionally disregarded by our security policies, even those policies that are conducted in secret…as I believe, they stained our national honor, did much harm and little practical good.
“...The Committee has empow-ered the American people to come to their own decisions about whether we should have employed such practices in the past and whether we should con-sider permitting them in the future…
“I have long believed some of these practices amounted to torture...”
“...I know from personal experi-ence that the abuse of prisoners will produce more bad than good intelli-
Torture is not what America is about
Letter to the editor
gence… most of all, I know the use of torture compromises that which dis-tinguishes us from our enemies, our belief that all people, even captured enemies, possess basic human rights, which are protected by international conventions the U.S. not only joined, but for the most part authored…
“...obviously, we need intelligence to defeat our enemies, but we need reliable intelligence. Torture produces more misleading information than ac-tionable intelligence”
“Our enemies act without con-science. We must not.
“We need only remember in the worst of times, through the chaos and terror of war, when facing cruelty, suf-fering and loss, that we are always Americans, and different, stronger, and better than those who would de-stroy us.”
Chetta Owens Springtown
Often we forget sacri-fices made by many of our ancestors to civilize this United States. I can’t imag-ine just going into an
untamed wilderness and living there for years just using my own skills. I might have a hard time surviving even today. Another mountain man was John Colter.
In an article, “Wildest & the Tough-est” in American Frontiersman, Jim Spencer wrote, “John Colter was 21 when Captain Meriwether Lewis hired him for the Lewis and Clark Expedition. He left St. Louis with the brigade in 1803, and didn’t re-turn from the wilderness until 1810. He was the first of the mountain men, and in the winter of 1807-08, he be-came the first white explorer to enter the Yellowstone region, including the geyser fields, the Grand Tetons and Jackson Hole. He spent many months roaming the wilderness alone, often
in winter, enduring unimaginable hardships.
“But his most trying ordeal came in 1809, when he and John Potts (an-other former Lewis and Clark Expedi-tion member) ran into a large party of hostile Blackfoot Indians near Three Forks, Montana. Potts was killed, Colter was captured and stripped of clothes and weapons. After holding a council, the Indians told Colter to run.
“He did, and he knew when he start-ed it was a run for his life. Pursued by a large pack of young braves, each ea-ger to claim the honor of killing him, Colter ran barefooted through the cac-tus, sage and rocks. He was a fast run-ner and stayed ahead of the pack, but after several miles he was exhausted and bleeding from his nose. Only one of the young warriors had managed to stay close, and finally Colter stopped, turned and confronted the lone brave, spreading his arms wide.
“The Indian, startled by the sud-denness of Colter’s maneuver (and
probably also by the visual image of the muscular, naked, bloody man stand-ing tall before him,) also at-tempted to stop. But he stumbled and fell and his spear stuck in the ground and broke in his hand. Col-ter quickly snatched up the business end of the spear, pinned
the brave to the ground with it, took the dead warrior’s blanket and contin-ued his run.
“With the rest of the pack still fol-lowing, Colter finally reached the Madison River, five miles from where the race had started. He dove into the
water, swam into the entrance of a beaver lodge and hid there while the Indians searched for him. Emerging after dark, he walked for 11 days bare-foot and naked except for the blanket, finally reaching sanctuary at a trader’s fort on the Little Big Horn.
“After another couple years of nar-row escapes, Colter left the wilder-ness for good in late 1810, after his two trapping partners were killed by Blackfeet. He brought a farm near New Haven, Missouri and settled down with his new wife, but his farming career was brief. Colter died in 1812 or 1813, reportedly of jaun-dice. Blackfeet, bears, and wilderness couldn’t kill the first mountain man, but civilization could.”
It would be hard to leave when you had spent so much of your life as a wild and tough man of the wilderness.

Laurie Moseley
Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologistand historian who lives in Springtown. He is the
director of Springtown’s Legends Museum.
While I was laid up at home with the flu last week – which explains why the paper was better than
normal – I heard that Paul McCartney makes $400,000 annually off his pe-rennial Christmas classic (or holiday horror, depending on who you ask) “Wonderful Christmas.”
When the Bride heard that, she fig-ured I could still write while flu-rav-aged. (When I got a nasal swab at the doctor’s office to see why I was sick, it didn’t take long to find out – the virus-es actually spelled out “F-L-U A” on the stick before the nurse could even leave the room.)
So why not fire off a soon-to-be an-nual holiday classic, one that will be beloved by generations who will make
every one of my future Christmases much more financially merrier?
Here it is:
SANTA! SANTA!
This is the happiest time of the year!Carols! Snow! And flying reindeer!Then it gets even better on Christ-
mas Eve.Isn’t that right – Sally, Johnny, and
Steve?
Santa! Santa! Yay! Yay! Yay! Santa! Santa! Ho! Ho! Ho!
The time is near! The lights are up!There’s yummy hot chocolate steam-
ing in your cup!Jolly St. Nick is loading up his
sleigh!Isn’t that
right – Sofia, Juan, and Jose?
Santa! San-ta!
Si! Si! Si! Santa! San-
ta! Ho! Ho!
Ho!
What kind of presents do you think you’ll get?
Remember that giving one is even better yet!
So always be good and keep making your bed!
Isn’t that right – Chang, Ezra, and
Ahmed?
Santa! Santa! Konnichiwa! Santa! Santa! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Santa! Santa! Yo! Yo! Yo! Santa! Santa! Ho! Ho! Ho!
Merry Christmas!
The Bride was not sure this was the next great Christmas carol.
HER: I think you’ve written the first racist Christmas song.
ME: What?! HER: By the way, this isn’t the
greatest time in America for a racist song of any sort.
ME: It’s not racist! Santa loves chil-dren of all nationalities! They’re all getting a shout out! I didn’t hear that from Paul McCartney! This song re-flects America’s ethnic make-up. It’s perfect!
HER: Well, how does it go?ME: I’ll leave to tune to someone
else.And that’s where I stand on the next
great Christmas song. I’m willing to give someone a chance to put these wonderful words to an unforgettable tune. Then we can split the $400,000 annually – my holiday present to some lucky arranger/scorer out there.
Because, truthfully, I’ve had way too much Tamiflu to try to write any music.

On Dec. 11, a Sen-ate-House joint committee em-paneled to adopt a sufficient bal-ance for the
state’s “rainy day fund” approved $7 billion as the floor for it.
Properly titled the Economic Stabilization Fund, the oil and gas tax-fueled pool of money was created by constitutional amendment in 1988 when oil was selling as low as $10 a bar-rel, causing state coffers to run thin. Calculated at $6.7 billion last August, the fund previously had no required minimum. The

In response to Dec. 10 Letter to Editor “Police force broken”:
I just about fell over back-ward when I read this letter. The statement made that what worked 15-20 years ago is gone is DEAD ON! Now, let me ex-plain why.
Twenty years ago people knew the difference between right and wrong. People re-spected each other. A hand-shake was good enough for an agreement to be carried out.
Twenty years ago when a child did something wrong, they usually got a spanking and when they thought about doing that thing again, they remembered that spanking and refrained from the temptation due to the consequences of do-ing wrong.
Twenty years ago people RE-SPECTED AUTHORITY! If you want to talk about what is gone talk about that!
Twenty years ago if a youth in the neighborhood did some-thing wrong, the neighbors would straighten them out and then take them to their parents. Now days the parents tell the neighbors to mind their own business.
Over 20 years ago is when I started my law enforcement career, so I know what I’m talking about. I have NEVER heard an officer talk about how they wanted to hurt/shoot/kill/or beat someone. Doesn’t mean that didn’t happen if the scenar-io deemed it to the safety of the officers involved.
People talk about the police like they sit in their pre-shift
Letters to the editor
briefings and talk about who they are going to abuse and mistreat. No, they talk about going home at the end of the shift. They talk about their kids and their wives. They talk about the person they helped, and granted, occasionally about the wrestling match they had to have to get someone in custody.
They also talk about if every-one is wearing their BULLET-PROOF VEST – aka, body ar-mor because they want all their partners to be safe. They talk about their days at the range in case – God forbid – they have to use their weapon to PRO-TECT THEMSELVES.
The criminal element on the other hand, they sit around and scheme up ways to steal from you, the public. They think of ways they can “roll” without being caught, or where they will score their next dope. They talk about the new weapons they have, and their weapons are attack weapons where law enforcement’s are DEFEN-SIVE WEAPONS.
They sit around and smoke their dope and drink their beer and discuss who will be their next target so that what-ever criminal activity they use against the target can finance their ability to sit around and do nothing while we work to obtain things for them to steal, tear up, and vandalize.
Law enforcement personnel do not go into law enforcement so they can shoot someone.
Then there is the moment when the young officers find out that they must join the po-lice league or CLEAT or some other organization so they will have legal counsel in the event they are accused of some illegal
or unethical action.People categorize law en-
forcement with firefighters, and I am one of many who are glad to be in the company of so many good men and women. However, everyone loves the firefighter.
The firefighters are the “he-roes” who save the day. They are the ones who run towards the burning building.
Well, so do the police. The firefighters go first because they have the tools to fight the fires.
But go on a domestic family violence situation where some-one has been assaulted or shots have been fired. The firefighters stage in a safe area and wait for the law enforcement to elimi-nate the threat BEFORE the firefighters arrive. It should be that way: The police have the tools to go first. We work to-gether as a group and as a team that way.
Difference is law enforce-ment is taxed with making it safe for everyone. Unfortunate-ly for many, that includes mak-ing people unhappy.
People don’t like to be stopped for speeding, although it is unsafe and against the law; people don’t like to be stopped for defective equipment on ve-hicles, although it is unsafe and against the law; people don’t like to be inconvenienced no matter how long even if they match perfectly the description of a suspect who just burglar-ized their neighbor’s house.
It’s an I, I, I, I, me, me, me, me, I world.
It has been said that the of-ficers are not being trained well enough, every officer on the street would agree with you. Every one of them want more
training and seek more training.But guess what? Training
costs money and evidently that means more to the people who delve out the tax money than the lawsuits they get from a lack thereof because training is a first line cut item nearly every time.
Oversight is something you might want to try to experience for yourself. Go ride out with some law enforcement and see what they face and how they act.
There are bad apples in every barrel, no matter where the bar-rel comes from, no matter who stocked it, no matter who raised and handpicked them.
But when it comes to the po-lice (pronounced poe – leece to us in the field), if you could weigh the difference between the good that they do, and the bad that the do, the bad wouldn’t even be enough to consider.
My best friend for 30 years was killed in the line of duty. He was 37 years old, and he left behind a wife and two daugh-ters. He was a good man. He had the people’s best interest in mind in all that he did pertain-ing to his job.
He would help anyone do anything, he always put others first, and I’m talking about the community not just other offi-cers. He was the kind of officer you wanted as back up because you never had to wonder if he was going to help if you got into trouble. If you were fight-ing King Kong he would be right there with you. Most of-ficers are like this.
Another issue that officers face today is liability. The li-ability issue always jumps into
Former officer defends police

America’s police force is NOT broken. In attempts to sway public opinion, unscrupu-lous politicians and the main-stream news media are delib-erately fanning the flames of civil disobedience and mistrust of police officers by dissemi-nating propaganda thinly dis-guised as news to further their agendas.
Of the three turbulences – Martin, Brown, and Garner), two involved police officers and one involved another citi-zen.
the equation, and is that offi-cer going to help me if a fight starts, etc.
I hate that Eric Garner died, and I wasn’t in on the situa-tion – none of us were. But one thing I can tell you, I have been choked before and, from first-hand knowledge, if you can’t breathe, you also CANNOT TALK. That’s all I’m going to say about that.
People want to see the police lose. All the police want is to do their job and go home at night. If you will simply comply with the lawful requests of the law enforcement officer nothing deadly will happen.
If they violate your rights, protest it the right way, then you won’t look stupid. If the police are wrong, they are go-ing to look stupid both ways and you win again.
Doug Deweese Springtown
The vast majority of police officers are honorable, law-abiding, hard-working men and women dedicated to protecting and serving the public.
There are some disreputable officers. However, they are in the miniority.
If an officer is accused of a crime, tried and convicted by a jury of his peers based on wit-nesses’ testimony and the evi-dence, the officer is then pun-ished to the fullest extent of the law. He is not to be tried and convicted by the news media.
Did the people currently ver-bally attacking our police offi-cers attend every session of the recnt grand jury hearings at the heart of this chaos? Did they interview every eye witness? Did they examine every piece of evidence? The members of the grand jury based all thier decisions on all of the eye wit-ness testimony they head and evidence they examined.
Physical altercations with police officers can easily be avoided. When stopped by a police officer, do not attack the officer but follow his instruc-tions. If an officer is attacked, he has the legal right to defend himself. If these suspected per-petrators had not resisted arrest and had not attacked the offi-cers, the outcome of these situ-ations would not have been the suspects’ death.
I support our nation’s po-lice officers and which to say to them, “Thank you for your efforts to protect us from this criminal element.”
God bless America and God bless our police officers.

Panel sets $7 billion minimum for Rainy Day Fund
STATE CAPITAL
HIGHLIGHTSEd Sterling
Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services
director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.
maximum the fund may hold is capped at 10 percent of the state’s general revenue during the previous two-year budget cycle.
Proposition 1, passed by Tex-as voters on Nov. 4, was “The constitutional amendment pro-viding for the use and dedication of certain money transferred to the state highway fund to assist in the completion of transporta-tion construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation projects, not to include toll roads.”
The measure requires the state to split the oil and gas revenue between the rainy day fund
and state highway fund. Be-cause of the boom-ing oil and gas i n d u s -try, some $1.74 bil-lion is to be trans-f e r r e d into the highway fund in 2015.
" T h i s
transfer will provide a much-needed boost to transportation, which affects everything from commerce and economic devel-opment to public safety and our quality of life," said Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Grapevine, co-chair of the joint committee. “The floor also ensures that Texas has sufficient reserves for any unex-pected difficulties in the future. It also allows us to address our vital infrastructure needs in a fiscally responsible way."
TxDOT senses optimismTexas Department of Trans-
portation last week announced
the agency “is riding a wave of optimism as citizens, nation-al transportation groups and stakeholders have noted great improvements in Texas just in time for state lawmakers to convene for the 84th Legisla-tive session.”
According to a Dec. 9 Tx-DOT news release, “Many have stated that transportation is a key issue for legislators in 2015, and by passing Proposi-tion 1 with an 80 percent ap-proval, voters have entrusted TxDOT with the job of address-ing congestion and keeping our roads safe.”
Sales tax revenue is upState Comptroller Susan
Combs on Dec. 10 reported state sales tax revenue in No-vember of $2.66 billion, up 10.7 percent compared to No-vember 2013.
Combs said gains were led by oil and natural gas-related sectors and collections from retail trade and restaurants also rose strongly.

by Mark k. caMPbeLLThe Christmas Break is com-
ing at a good time for the Lady Porcupine basketball team.
Springtown has been playing shorthanded in recent contests.
Spark plug Brooklyn Dauen-hauer got injured in the Jacks-boro tournament and missed the following Poolville event.
Coach Susan Croft said the senior leader should be fully re-covered by the time the holiday tournament arrives – at Fort Worth Nolan on Dec. 29.
Without Dauenhauer, SHS not only played four games in Poolville – going 2-2 – but faced powerful Godley in a non-district affair.
Before Poolville, the Lady Porcupines traveled to Paradise and lost 60-30.
Gabby Terry turned in a dou-ble-double with 10 points and 10 rebounds.
Adrienne Easter added 8 points, Molly Gideon scored 5, and senior Kendyl Dean hit a trey.
Sybille Vogel was Spring-town’s top rebounder with 7.
At Poolville two days later on Dec. 11, SHS opened with a 47-34 victory over Fort Worth South Hills, jumping out to a 28-7 halftime advantage.
Easter paced the Lady Porcu-pines with 11 points.
Khristin Mote added 10 points as well as 6 rebounds.
Terry was steady again with 8 points and 8 boards.
The top rebounder was Dean with 10; she, and Gideon, scored 6 points each.
Game two on Dec. 11 pit-ted SHS against the hosts and Poolville won, 37-31.
Easter was tops with 10 points and 9 rebounds. Mote also had 9 boards and Gideon 8.
Against Petrolia Dec. 12, Springtown built a 10-point halftime lead – 20-10 – and went on to win 44-26.
Gideon, a freshman, was strong with 12 points, 7 re-bounds, and 6 steals.
Easter netted 10 points and Terry and Dean scored 9 each.
Vogel blocked 2 shots.In the tournament finale Dec.
13, Windthorst beat the Lady Porcupines 53-36.
Five players accounted for all the SHS points: Mote, 12; Eas-ter, 7; Gideon and Dean, 6; and Terry, 5.
Mote and Terry both grabbed 7 rebounds each.
On Dec. 16, Springtown headed to Godley to face the 14-1, No. 11 4A team in the Texas Girls Coaches Associa-tion poll.
SHS fell 69-27. “We did not have a good game,” Coach Croft said.
“We started slow and never recovered from miscommuni-cation and poor execution on the floor.”
Her squad’s field goal per-centage was just 29 percent. Gideon’s 8 points was tops.
The Lady Porcupines have “been hit by the stomach virus so hopefully the five-day break during Christmas we’ll get the much-needed rest and recovery for the entire team,” she said.
Non-district and tournament basketball games are the time to get ready for district play.
And that’s what Springtown has been piling up – a bevy of pre-District 8-4A clashes.
After winning a close game to open the Poolville tourney, the Porcupines split a pair of narrow ones recently.
Huckabay was the foe in the Poolville opener Dec. 11 and SHS won, 70-68.
Trent Partain led Springtown in scoring with 19 points.
Raul Medina had 12, Kruz Domingez and Kaleb Chesney got 11 each, and Dawson Meek had 10 to give SHS five players in double digits.
Things did not go so well the next day against Muenster. It was the Porcupines third time to face the No. 2 team in 2A. Once again, the Hornets beat Springtown, this time 47-35.
Dominguez’s 10 points led SHS. Meek and Chesney scored 8 each with 6 for the lat-ter coming on a pair of three-point bombs.
Meek’s 4 rebounds was tops, and he blocked 2 shots.
Later that day, Petrolia top-pled Springtown 60-43.
The tournament ended Dec. 13 with a 67-65 victory over Bellevue.
That close win was followed by a narrow loss to Godley on Dec. 16, 55-52.
Springtown Coach James Rike is not a fan of holiday tournaments, so the Porcupines will come back after the Christ-mas Break – after facing Gra-ham on the road Dec. 19 – to meet Poolville Dec. 30, also away from the SHS gym.
Freshmen – The young Por-cupines finished third in the Springtown Sub-Varsity Invi-tational.
The SHS frosh opened with Fort Worth Diamond Hill-Jar-vis Dec. 11 and won 44-27.
Alex Dewitt led with 15 points. Nelson Valle scored 7 and Josh Miller added 6.
Next, Paradise edged Spring-town 44-42.
Coach Stryker Strickland said the Porcupines had three chances inside five feet with seven seconds left to tie the game, but “we couldn’t get it
done.”Eric Antonucci and Logan
Jones led with 8 points each. Travis Plato and Miller got 6.
For third place, SHS beat Stephenville 41-40. In the sea-son opener, the Yellow Jackets had beaten the Porcupines by 26 points, Strickland said.
Dewitt’s 10 led Springtown.“I was very proud of how
hard our kids played the entire weekend,” the coach said.
On Dec. 16, the frosh came up short at Godley 41-38. De-witt (14), Antonucci (9), and Plato (6) led SHS scorers.
Two more outings for the Springtown High School wres-tling team and more improve-ment.
On Dec. 12, coach Tye Ad-ams took a JV squad to Weath-erford where Jesse Springfield won the 285-pound class at 4-0.
Preston Schneider took third (132 pounds, 4-1) and Mason Phillips (220, 2-2) finished fourth.
In the varsity tourney the next day, five of SHS’ six athletes placed: Caice Clark (145, 4-1) and Sam Lund (182, 3-1) took third while Desmond Cum-mings (126, 2-2), Mark Mat-kovich (138, 2-2), and Hunter Robinson (195, 2-2) finished fourth overall.
“We took six wrestlers and five competed for medals – a good day for the ‘Pines,” Ad-
ams said.On Dec. 15, Spingtown beat
Richland 51-23.Winners: Cummings, Aid-
en Baxley (132), Matkovich, Clark, Lund, and Robinson.
In JV/exhibition, Schneider was victorious.
SHS is off until Jan. 8 when Springtown will compete in the district duals championships at Saginaw High School.

It’s been quite a year for reli-gious-based movies.
Hollywood’s big budget ef-forts did OK despite some big blow back from God-fearing audiences.
The smaller movies, howev-er, were the ones that enjoyed more success.
About the film
By the end of April, the Mov-ie Man had already checked out a trio of religious movies.
First came Son of God (Mov-ie Man No. 1077, 6), an extend-ed version of an earlier success-ful TV series. It was decent.
Then came the controversial big-budget Hollywood spec-tacular directed by an auteur, Darren Aronofsky. Noah (MM #1081, 4) didn’t do it for the Movie Man or for plenty of other religious and secular folks. It reached the vaunted $100 million level that desig-nates “success” – but just bare-ly at $101.2 million (off a $125 million budget). Noah had its moments but just petered out as it went along.
By the end of April, the best of the religious-themed pic-tures came along, Heaven Is for Real (MM #1084, 6 – yes, Son of God was a 6, too, but there are varying degrees of weights in each number and Heaven Is for Real was closer to a 7, re-ally). There were some sincere-ly moving scenes here and the message wasn’t so sledge ham-mered home that some mov-iegoers were not immediately turned off.
A late summer movie, When the Game Stands Tall (MM #1105, 5), also delivered its Christian points tactfully. Hav-ing a solid actor in the lead in Jim Caviezel helped a lot – just as Heaven Is for Real was boosted by Greg Kinnear. Un-fortunately, When the Game Stands Tall was too plodding.
Now comes Exodus: Gods and Kings. (The Movie Man skipped God’s Not Dead, the Left Behind remake, and Kirk Cameron’s just released Sav-
ing Christmas [which remains the “worst movie of all-time” as ranked by users of Internet Movie Database].)
Like Noah, this new version of Moses’ leading a Jewish re-volt is another big-budget effort ($140 million) helmed by a tal-ented, veteran director, Ridley Scott. And, like Noah, some-thing’s amiss.
Not that major studios are giving up on religion. In 2015, Mary, the story of Je-sus’ mother, is slated to arrive in April. (Originally it was set for this month, but Exodus scared it off.) Controversial preacher Joel Osteen is an ex-ecutive producer of the movie that will focus on Mary, not Christ.
The plot
While pharaoh Seti (John Turturro) has ruled Egypt and raised Rames (Joel Edgerton) and Moses (Christian Bale) to-gether, the king clearly prefers Bale as his successor. That be-comes more evident when Bale saves Edgerton’s life in a battle, fulfilling a prophecy.
Bale is sent to investigate viceroy Hegep (Ben Men-delsohn) who is living a bit too high on the hog while abusing Jewish slaves. Bale interviews some of the Hebrews, including Nun (Ben Kingsley), who tells
Bale that he’s Hebrew, too.When that word gets out
back home, Bale is exiled. Wandering the desert, he stum-bles across his future wife, Zip-porah (Maria Valverde). Then, after getting hit on the head by a rock, Bale has a vision on a mountaintop, and, despite al-ways being so self-centered, he realizes he is the savior of his people.
Loony Edgerton isn’t crazy about Bale telling the god/king/pharaoh he must release his slaves – after all, they’re busy building Edgerton’s monu-ments and pyramids. But God, in the guise of a young boy (Isaac Andrew), unleashes a slew of plagues on Egypt to change Edgerton’s mind. The
problem is: The plagues are af-fecting Hebrews, too.
Still, the pharaoh won’t re-lent, so God commands that all first-born will die; while the slaves protect themselves with lamb’s blood, lots of Egyptian youth succumb – including Edgerton’s baby boy. He tells the Jews to hit the road – only to soon chase after them to obliterate them all.
Everybody eventually arrives at the Red Sea – hey, what’s that big wall of water coming
right at us?
What works (spoiler)The best thing in Exodus:
Gods and Kings is the spe-cial effects. From “God’s-eye views” to sweeping shots through grimy alleyways, ev-erything looks realistic.
The plagues look great – even if they are a tad far-fetched. Di-rector Ridley Scott links all the plagues (except the last one) together as biological/natural occurrences. The first one of the Nile turning to blood occurs when crocodiles – lots and lots of them – kill so many fish and people that, indeed, the river runs red. And it looks like a me-teor strike causes a tidal wave – the Red Sea recedes then re-turns big time.
The movie is pretty good ear-ly on, but it runs out of steam until that arrival at the Red Sea. Speaking of that…
Best scene (spoiler)
The Jews have made it across the “parted” Red Sea (it has pulled away from the shore…until…) and their pursuers see this monstrous, titanic wall of
water bearing down on them. The Egyptians say forget this and flee the opposite way. That leaves just Bale and Edgerton in the middle of the sandy sea-bed with a towering wave ris-ing higher and higher.
It looks cool – and when the wave finally crashes, there’s a shot of too slow soldiers, weighted down with armor, floating and flailing helplessly into the depths along with char-iots, horses, and weapons.
What doesn’t work
Much like with Noah, Bible purists will find plenty to quib-ble about – like the lack of a
New Exodus movie plagued by slow stretches

‘Living Bright’ Ventriloquist Maegan Bruce shares the love of God and a lot of fun
By Natalie GeNtryA man’s heart plans his
way, but the Lord directs his steps. -Proverbs 16:9
Maegan Bruce isn’t new to entertaining crowds; accord-ing to her website, the Parker County native has been per-forming since she could talk.
“My mom was a puppeteer and my dad was a ventrilo-quist before they even met, so I joke that I was kind of bred for it,” Bruce said. “I was raised around it, but I was also one of those kids who spent way too much time making faces in the mirror, choreo-graphing dance numbers in her room, and making her par-ents sit through ‘shows’ with puppets and homemade props and sets.”
It wasn’t long before Bruce was beefing up her entertain-ment chops. At nine years old, she decided she wanted to be a ventriloquist.
“I told my dad I wanted to learn ventriloquism so he sat down and went through his workshop notes with me and told me what to practice,” Bruce said. “We came up with a character, my dad made me a puppet, my mom wrote a script, and within a couple of weeks I was performing with my dad in the daycare shows he was doing at the time.”
Bruce competed in her first competition about a month later.
“Looking back, it seems so wild that I just took to it and ran with it as a scrawny little kid,” Bruce said. “But nobody told me I couldn’t. It was just my parents believing in me and telling me I could and I’ll
forever be thankful for that – and for all they invested and poured into me.
“They were my best coaches and my biggest cheerleaders. I want to be that to kids,” she continued.
Bruce’s family moved to Springtown when she was 12 years old, and then to a big blue house between Azle and Weatherford two years later.
The move opened up new venues for the budding art-ist.
“I grew up performing at Sting Flings, Wild West Festi-vals, Christmas on the Square events, local churches, as well as a show at Springtown Elementary School when I was 16,” Bruce said. “I’m so thankful for the many people who encouraged me and loved on me through those teen years.”
These performances proved to be one of many steps in the growth of Bruce’s entertain-ment career.
She began traveling with her ventriloquism, puppetry, and live art right out of high school.
At 18, she began to speak at churches, camps, and confer-ences all over the country.
“This was a calling I’d felt from an early age,” Bruce said. “So I was on cloud nine to get to go into these places at a relatively young age and tell kids and families about God’s calling and purpose on their lives.”
And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to His purpose. -Romans 8:28
“I’ve always tried to be really inten-tional with my life choices,” Bruce said. “I just think life is too short and the world is too dark not to live really bright, so when God started opening some doors in acting and modeling, I just viewed it as another opportunity to live bright.”
In 2012, Bruce competed at a talent convention in Florida in front of scouts, agents, and industry professionals from all over, including New York and Los Angeles – the enter-tainment epicenters.
The event broad-ened her job oppor-tunities
“I was really blessed with a lot of amazing opportuni-ties,” Bruce said. “But honestly, amaz-ing opportunities doesn’t always mean they’re the right op-portunities.”
Bruce has been signed with Kim Dawson Agency in Dallas for the last two years and has modeled or acted for clients such as JC Penney, FedEx, Nei-man Marcus, The Container Store, Mary Kay, and Fran-cesca’s.
“I acted in two full-length films that came out this year – Rumors of Wars and 8
Days,” she said. “I chose not to move to New York or Los Angeles because it just wasn’t
right for me – who knows what the future holds, but being in Dallas has been a great bal-
ance of fun opportunities, still being able to invest in relation-

ships here, and being flexible enough to maintain traveling with my ventriloquism.”
Even though the last year has been eventful – with mod-eling opportunities and two films being released – Bruce’s focus remains grounded in family.
“The events I’m most look-ing forward to are some fes-tive Christmas relaxation with friends and family and getting married to my fian-cé [Jared Hall] this spring,” Bruce said. “He’s an illusion-ist. We’re basically the circus – I love it.”
He guides the humble in what is right and teaches them his way. -Psalms 25:9
Bruce is looking forward to the future and the changes that inevitably happen.
“I’ll be moving to Nashville this spring, and I’m really ex-cited about that new and excit-ing chapter of life,” she said. “It’s so full of dreamers and doers.”
In addition, Bruce has been working to revamp and re-launch her children’s ministry program.
“We rebranded and re-launched that area of my life, and I’m excited about shift-ing more attention to that again,” she said. “The acting

and modeling have been great and I think God will continue to use that in my life, but us-ing creative arts in ministry and encouraging kids is really what makes me feel more ful-filled.”
Bruce noted that although there are several facets of en-tertaining she loves, the most fulfilling and rewarding thing is recognizing the impact it can have on people.
“Entertainment can make a powerful connection with people – we see both good and bad consequences of that,” she said. “Whether it’s stand-ing on a stage with a pup-pet making somebody laugh, speaking words that plant seeds of change in listeners, or just sitting in a makeup chair encouraging somebody,
entertainment has the power to reach through our walls and touch the heart with its mes-sage.”
The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stum-ble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. -Psalm 37:23-24
