PCESD1 adopts budget, tax rate Election looms for Poolville annexation BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN When residents of northern Parker County look at their tax bill, they’ll note one of the the smallest portions goes to Parker County Emergency Services District (PCESD)1. Hopefully, only a scant few will ever discover just how much bang they get from that buck. The PCESD board of directors approved the district’s budget and tax rate during a meeting Monday, Sept. 28. The board adopted a tax rate of 0.0010 (10 cents) per $100 of valuation. That rate has remained the same for at least the past five years, according to PCESD1 Chief Stephen Watson. The total budget for 2015-2016 as adopted by the board is $4.4 million, Watson said. Of that, $1.5 million is allocated to capital expenses, including two new fire stations in the Aledo and Annetta areas, upgrades and additions to both the Springtown and LaJunta fire stations, two new command vehicles and one new

The remainder of the budget is dedicated to personnel costs, operations expense and debt service. “Personnel costs have increase about 50 percent over the last two years,” Watson said. “That’s because we’ve increased paid personnel at four of our five department – we’re currently staffed with two paid personnel around the clock plus a paid captain during business hours at the Silver Creek, Aledo, LaJunta and Springtown fire stations. Peaster has two paid personnel on duty during business hours, as well.”

About 9 percent of the total budget is allocated to debt service, Watson added. That goes toward major capital purchases, including four new engines the district has purchased over the last two years. Two new brush trucks the district purchased last year will be unveiled Monday, Oct. 19. Growth of the district appears inevitable – it’s currently planning the addition of about 2,100 homes and an elementary school in the Morning Star addition off Farmer Road about three to four miles north of Aledo. Plus, the Poolville Volunteer Fire

Feeling the rhythm:

Department has petitioned the district for annexation, an issue that will be decided in the Nov. 3 general election. “Other than Reno, Poolville is the only fire department in Parker County that’s not part of an ESD or fully municipally funded,” Watson explained. In the election, voters in the Poolville coverage area will decide whether or not to be annexed into the PCESD1; additionally, voters within PCESD1 must decide whether or not to accept the Poolville area into the district. Both ballot measures must pass in

order for the annexation to take place. “There would be no increase in taxes to residents already in the district, Watson said. “The business model is ‘strength in collaboration,’ meaning that the larger the area we serve, the more widely distributed the cost savings are,” he said, adding that three fire trucks can be purchased at a lower price per truck than purchasing just one truck. “In fact, as we’ve added areas to the district, our response times have decreased dramatically. We’ve also increased the training and capability of volunteers who are responding.”

SHS Drumline continues to grow and challenge itself during 2015 season

BY NATALIE GENTRY The Springtown High School Drumline has taken the 2015 season by the horns. At the Hurst-Euless-Bedford (HEB) Drumline Contest Saturday, Sept. 12 SHS took first place in 4A and won outstanding snares, tenors, cymbals, and front ensemble. “Our score landed us 8th out of 33 overall,” said SHS Percussion Director Chris Mashburn. “Included in that top 10 are some of the best drumlines in the country – all of which came from much The SHS Drumline has learned two separate shows this season. larger schools.” Then on Saturday, Sept. 26 SHS It’s placed in the top 10 drumlines at its last two competitions. Photo courtesy SHS Drumline performed at the Plano Drumline

Contest and took 5th of 17 in its division. “We received multiple nominations for all outstanding sections, as well as nominations for the ‘Drop 6 Award for Outstanding Music Interpretation” Mashburn said. In addition, the SHS Drumline has been accepted to compete at the Percussion Arts Society International Convention (PASIC) Marching Festival in San Antonio Friday, Nov. 13. “This contest is considered to be the national championships of the fall marching activity,” Mashburn said. The SHS PASIC Drumline is made up of a mixture of percussionists, as well as a few wind players performing

on secondary instruments. “These new performers have become vital members of our organization in a very short period of time,” Mashburn noted. “Because of the nature of this competition, the drumline has learned two complete shows this year – a feat not attempted by many programs as it is. “This in itself has been an immense challenge, but as usual, these students have not only risen to the occasion, they’ve flourished,” he continued. “Every judge we have been in front of this year – especially those with ‘national credentials’ – has been blown away with what the SHS Drumline is doing.”

Council gives green light to contracts at Oct. 1 meeting BY NATALIE GENTRY The Springtown city council awarded contracts for multiple projects throughout the city at a special called meeting Thursday, Oct. 1. Although the item did not appear on the agenda for the meeting, Mayor Tom Clayton issued a proclamation recognizing October as Breast Cancer Awareness Month prior to addressing the business at hand. Next, Aaron Redder of Freese and Nichols – the city’s engineering firm – presented a recommendation for the construction of the 5th Street ground storage tank construction contract. The engineering firm received two proposals for the project, and after evaluating the applicants, recommended the contract go to Tank and Vessel Builders for $317,500. A provisional amount of $40,000 was allotted to the project in case the existing concrete support ring needs to be replaced. The council voted unanimously in favor of the firm’s recommendation. Springtown City Administrator Doug Hughes introduced the west area manager for Bureau Veritas

to field any questions council members may have had about the inspection company’s proposal. The inspection company’s proposal didn’t include monthly fees, simple fees associated directly with individual inspections as they arise. The vote was again unanimous to award the contract. The final contract awarded address the Tabernacle roofing project. The council voted unanimously to award the contract to Diamond B Roofing and Construction for $38,081, contingent upon the company obtaining the required workers compensation coverage and bonds. The Springtown Police Department presented a proposed ordinance to council that would return wrecker services for department-required tows to a rotating schedule. Police Chief Ed Crowdis said the change will allow the city to ensure the response time to an accident or event is controllable and that the equipment used is kept up to standards.

Weatherford College Upward Bound program leaves lasting impression on students About 50 local high school students with a thirst for knowledge participated in this summer’s Upward Bound program at Weatherford College. The teens are potential first-generation college students selected from area high schools. Following this summer’s college experience – which included living on campus for six weeks and participating in classes ranging from laboratory science to composition and foreign language – the students are increasingly likely to enroll and graduate from post-secondary institutions. Springtown Independent School District students who participated include Kristine Camacho, Madison Dok, Karrie Hayes, Josie Houk, Sophia Kelley, Natalia Martinez, Berenice Munoz, Guadalupe Munoz, Cameron Oakley, Marisol Soto, Priscila Soto, Jessie Tidwell, and Sarah Wallace. STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering and Math) studies were a focus for the students of Upward Bound this summer. In addition to botany, the students explored astronomy and biology labs. “People do what they know and are familiar with,” said Dr. Lisa Welch,

chair of Weatherford College’s Science Depart-ment. “For this reason it is important for us to provide experiences in science so that students, early in their education, understand and become familiar with the scientific process. Science isn’t about learning a bunch of facts but contributing to the knowledge that we already have about the world around us.” Jeff Kahlden, director of Upward Bound at WC said, “These students are being exposed to very in-depth scientific experiments and the opportunity to use equipment that most students do not get to use until they get into the college classroom.” Four members of the Upward Bound program went on to attend the Texas Association of Student Special Services Programs Leadership Conference at Texas State University in San Marcos at the end of the summer, including Spring-town’s Guadalupe Munoz and Kelley. They were accompanied by Kahlden at the conference where more than 400 students and staff from all parts of Texas’ federal TRIO programs were in attendance. Additionally, outstanding

Area high school seniors who attended the Weatherford College Upward Bound program this summer include: (back row, l-r) Guadalupe Munoz, Tommy Kelleher, Lucas Ringo, Jessie Tidwell, Micah Ragle, and Tyler Cumbus; (middle) Cameron Oakely, Kristine Camacho, David Garcia, Isaac Meza, and Karrie Hayes; (front) Emily Miles, Priscila Soto, Marisol Soto, Natalia Martinez. Photos courtesy of Weatherford College Upward Bound students in the WC Upward Bound program were honored at an awards ceremony at the Doss Student Center. Springtown student awards included: • Excellence Award in Mathematics: – Tidwell • Most Improved Award in Test Prep: – Houk • Most Improved Award in College Success: – Berenice Munoz • Outstanding Junior Award: – Lupe Munoz, Springtown Kahlden also recognized the bridge students who have successfully completed their first semester of college. The bridge program is provided to students who have completed participation in Upward Bound and graduated from their respective high schools. Each student received a

OPEN HOUSE &

scholarship for six hours of college tuition and fees, books, room and board, and supplies for their completion of the program. Bridge students from Springtown were Courtney Mayhew, Josue Ramirez, and Alaina Coss. These students are continuing their higher education this fall, some of them at Weatherford College on full financial aid and scholarship programs. For more information about Upward Bound at WC, contact Kahlden at jkahlden@wc.edu or call 817-598-6485.

Ulcers and a Stomach Bacteria Helicobacter pylori is the name of bacteria that is commonly found in the stomach. In certain circumstances it can cause an infection that can lead to a peptic ulcer. An ulcer happens when the lining of the stomach gets damaged increasing the presence of the strong acid in the stomach. The exact reason for how the bacteria can cause peptic ulcers is generally unknown. Researchers believe that it can be caused by contaminated food and water. Symptoms of a peptic ulcer include a burning sensation in the stomach, stomach pain that increases on an empty stomach, feeling nauseous, bloating, and uncontrolled burping. Complications that can arise from a H pylori infection include painful inflammation of the lining of the stomach or small intestine. H pylori infection is treated with a combination of medications to help protect the stomach and reduce the harmful effects of bacteria at the same time. Doctors may require additional testing for H pylori to help select the best treatment to eradicate the infection if one round of treatment is not effective. Antibiotics help kill bacteria or stop the growth of bacteria from causing more harm. Proton pump inhibitors, such as esomeprazole magnesium (Nexium), help stop the stomach from making more acid. Bismuth subsalicylate (Pepto Bismol) coats the ulcer to help protect it from further damage.

Abbey Church hosts free health fair Oct. 17 Services, health checks, workshops, prayer among offerings BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN The Abbey Church, located at 10400 Jacksboro Highway between Azle and Lake Worth, will host a Health Fair from 9 a.m.-1 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 17. This event is free and it’s open to the public. The church is partnering with local health care agencies to provide services like cholesterol, glucose, and blood pressure checks, flu shots for those age 18 and older, better health information, and the opportunity to contribute to others’ health by donating blood. Partners in the Abbey Church Health Fair include: • Texas Health Resources, providing cholesterol, glucose, and blood pressure checks; a limited number of adult flu shots (age 18 and older); health information • Tarrant County Public Health, providing information about smoking cessation; disease self-management; fall prevention • Moncrief Cancer Institute, providing information about mammograms, including vouchers; information about survivorship program • Carter Blood Center’s on-site mobile unit. Sign up to help others by donating at www.carterbloodcare.org. • Rodeo Dental & Orthodontics, providing information and

giveaways about dental health • The Body Exchange, providing information about physical activity and good health • The Abbey Church Hope Center, providing personal prayer for healing and comfort Abbey Church Pastors Paul and Perrianne Brownback – whose education and background are in medicine and science – say the health fair is one way the church can show its concern for the “whole person,” which includes spirit, soul and body. “Part of what we want to communicate is that Jesus came so we might have life and have it abundantly in every area, therefore improvement of the quality of life is part of Jesus’ mission and the mission of the church ,” Paul Brownback said. “We want to support every area, including healthy lifestyles and healthy living.” He pointed to workshops at the fair that will include subjects such as cardiac health and exercise as well as whole person health and natural health practices. “Along with our partners and these workshops, prayer teams will also be available to pray for individuals, especially concerning health issues,” he added.

Perrianne Brownback says she vividly recalls the first time she was presented with the World Health Organization’s definition of “health” – “... a state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and not merely the absence of disease or infirmity.” That definition has remained unaltered since 1948, she said. “What struck me upon hearing those words was the complete unity of purpose that the health profession shares with God!” Perrianne Brownback said. “Paul and I have always believed the scientific and medical communities should link arms to lift society toward higher levels of ‘health’ as the WHO describes it.” To that end, Perrianne will conduct a seminar during the health fair on the subject of meditation. “Meditation has become widely accepted among the medical community as a health improvement aid, particularly related to areas of stress management,” she explained. “While many Christians are concerned about the Eastern religious origins of many meditative practices, they remain unaware that there is a Biblical meditation that affords health benefits and specializes in ‘destressing’ the participant. God’s Word was meant to be engrafted so that it can release true health to every part of one’s being.”

Wall’s blueberry jam lauded at State Fair BY NATALIE GENTRY A Springtown woman scored big at the 2015 State Fair of Texas, and the resulting inspiration will soon benefit everyone in town. Katherine Wall earned an honorable mention at the fair for her blueberry jam. This is Wall’s first time to enter any competition at this level. A children’s Sunday school teacher, nursery coordinator, and a part of the music program at her church, Fort Worth Baptist Temple, Wall works for An-

nie’s Country Kitchen where she prepares most of the desserts. She is the mother of seven children and the widow of a veteran of the U. S. Air Force. “I was just thrilled to even be mentioned,” she said of the competition results. In the wake of her State Fair success, Wall is starting a new bakery business with her family. Happydale Bakery will be located in Springtown so she can continue to share her sweets with the community.

Brownwood roughs up Porcupines, district next BY MARK K. CAMPBELL It might seem hard to believe that a game that ended up 72-28 was actually close at one time But that’s the case when it comes to Springtown’s (2-3) loss at Brownwood. In the first quarter, the Porcupines answered a long Lion TD pass with a 32-yard field goal by Wriley Russell. Then, when Brownwood got a 31-yard TD run, SHS returned with a big 75-yard touchdown aerial to Mateo Herrera from Kaleb Chesney. The PAT run failed. However, the score stood 14-9 with 4:05 left in the opening quarter. But, boy, did the roof fall in after that. Next, the Lions got the second

of seven rushing touchdowns. The period ended with the hosts leading 21-9. Brownwood would score four TDs and get a safety – 30 points – before Springtown added to its score. That Lion flurry boosted the score to a troubling 44-9 before Herrera and Chesney hooked up for another long touchdown, this one for 63 yards. When Brownwood added a score on a TD before the half, the Lions led 51-15 at the break. Things didn’t get much better in the second half when a Lion intercepted a ball for a pick six early in the third quarter. In the fourth quarter, the Porcupines added a pair of touchdowns when Quinton Allen ran

After the trying Brownwood game, things certainly don’t get easier for the 5-4A opener. Springtown hosts state-ranked Kennedale. The Wildcats are bashing everybody. KHS is 5-0 with wins over Crowley (4924); Gainesville (63-6), FW Dunbar (58-6), Kaufman (43-35), and Dallas Carter (70-27). Kennedale runs. Senior back Quardaiz Wadley has rushed for a whopping 1,267 yards – averaging a stunning 11.95 yards per carry. He’s scored 22 TDs.

over from the 5 and, with less than a minute left, Fisher Drewry scored from the 1. SHS finished with an impressive 373 total yards. Allen led rushers with 60 yards, but it was Herrera catching 8 passes for 175 yards and 2 TDs that earned the greatest offensive kudos. Austin Bauman snagged 3 Chesney passes for 29 yards. The junior QB threw for 268 yards. The game marked the end of the non-district slate for the Porcupines. Now the “games that count” loom. And the first 5-4A foe is a juggernaut, Kennedale, No. 6 in 4A in the state.

OPINION Thursday, October 8, 2015

Grampa says: Now this was music, dagnabbit!

y latest addiction is iHeart Radio’s “Classic American Top 40.” Lots of us old timers grew up with Casey Kasem’s voice telling us about songs moving up and down the charts with an occasional “Long Distance Dedication” being seriously intoned by the DJ. It was a big deal to listen to ATF when I was a teenager; coolness hung on knowing the newest and grooviest songs being played on the radio, the ranking based on Billboard’s weekly survey of sales by 100 stores across the country. Recently, I clicked on the station – which alternates between countdowns from the 1970s and ‘80s – while working out and came in at the beginning of a show from June 2, 1971. Now, every generation is sure theirs had the best cars and movies, clothes and – music. Listening (as long as I can) to today’s music, I think I can win an argument hands down as to which is better.

That June, I was about to be 15 years old, and I lived and breathed music and girls. Forty-four years later pushing some weights around – as Kasem told brief stories about each song – I remembered many of them. Including No. 40 “Toast and Marmalade for Tea,” the only hit for a group called Tin Tin; it had a faint whiff of 60’s psychedelia, one that would soon dissipate as the Seventies wore on. No. 35 made me happy. Chicago’s “Lowdown” is hardly ever heard anymore, but I recalled almost every line. Tom Jones was heading off the chart (“Puppet Man” [No. 37]) and so was teen heartthrob Bobby Sherman with his final hit “The Drum” (No. 36). And so, too, was Isaac Hayes whose next song a few months later would be the No. 1 smash, “Theme from Shaft” – right now his “Never Can Say Goodbye” was at No. 33. Strangely (it was the Seventies), that same song was also on the chart higher up where the Jackson 5 had

it at No. 14 on the way to No. 2. Four years later, Gloria Gaynor would turn it into a disco hit at No. 9. In 1971, Carly Simon was ushering the singerON YOUR in songwriter era MARK with the poi“That’s Mark K. Campbell gnant the Way I Always Heard it Should Be” at No. 31. I admit I didn’t recognize some songs. “Cool Aid” was an instrumental by Paul Humphrey & His Cool Aid Chemists; their lone hit was at No. 29. I also didn’t remember “She’s Not Just Another Woman” by 8th Day. Two songs from the highly controversial play Jesus Christ Superstar (how quickly we forget) were on the chart. “Superstar” by Murray Head (No. 15) and Helen Reddy’s

“I Don’t Know How to Love Him” (No. 13). Two versions of the latter became hits – Reddy’s first then, later in 1971, Yvonne Elliman’s. Reddy charted higher, 13 to 28. A third religious song was in the Top 40, too: “Put Your Hand in the Hand” by Ocean, a one-hit wonder that made it all the way to No. 2. (I recalled all those words.) Two novelty songs were having success. Daddy Dewdrop’s “ChickA-Boom” (No. 20, from a Saturday morning cartoon called Sabrina and the Groovie Goolies [!]) and the hilarious – and one of my favorites ever since – Jerry Reed’s “When You’re Hot, You’re Hot.” The chart was filled with all kinds of great music. Soul: Wilson Pickett (“Don’t Knock My Love (Part 1)” at No. 17 and “Bride Over Troubled Waters” by Aretha Franklin (No. 10). Pop: “If” by Bread (No. 25), “Double Lovin’” by the Osmonds (No. 16), “I’ll Meet You Halfway” by The Partridge Family (No. 9), and “Rainy Days and Mondays” by the Carpenters (No. 3).

Rock: The Guess Who’s “Albert Flasher (No. 34), The Doors’ “Love Her Madly” (No. 21), and the Rolling Stones’ “Brown Sugar” (No. 2). Can today’s music match that diversity? I’ll put my teenage singers up against anyone’s: Carly Simon or Miley Cyrus? Please! Aretha Franklin or Beyonce? Even Queen Bee would acquiesce to the Queen of Soul. Wilson Pickett or Drake! No way! The Rolling Stones or Foo Fighters. Duh. (But FF is cool.) Oh, yeah, the No. 1 song in June 1971 was “Want Ads” by The Honey Cone. For you young ‘uns today, want ads used to be in the back of newspapers and…oh, never mind… go back to your Auto-Tuning “music.” Bless this generation’s hearts. Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and the Song of the Year in 1971 was the infectious “Joy to the World” by Three Dog Night. Go up to your grandparents and sing “Jeremiah was a bullfrog” and see if they don’t reply “Was a good friend of mine.” Bet they do!

Who scalped whom? Part 2: Bounties issued for hair

t was such absolutist arguments on both sides of the scalping question that led James Axtell to the issue some years ago. A historian at the College of William & Mary in Virginia, Axtell vividly remembers walking into New York City's former Heye Museum of the American Indian in the early 1970s and seeing human scalps hanging in a glass case. One was blond, obviously a girl’s. Another had African hair, perhaps taken from a slave. There were probably Indian scalps there too, he says. Later, stories started to circulate that the Europeans had invented scalping – and that colonists had actually taught it to the Indians. Axtell paid little notice until he started hearing those stories from academics. At that point, he and fellow historian William Sturtevant decided it was time to sort out the record.

fering bounties to their Indian allies for scalps taken from hostile tribes. According to Axtell’s book, the English in Connecticut paid the Mohegans for the heads of Pequots, and the Dutch paid wampum for Raritan heads. After HISTORICAL the start of HIGHLIGHTS King Philip’s War in 1675, Laurie Moseley it said, Rhode Island’s Narragansetts were paid for heads in lengths of cloth. The arrangement worked, although scalps were substituted for whole heads, which were too cumbersome

to carry over long distances. It also required some adjustment by the Indians, who were unused to giving up their hard-won war trophies to foreigners. But the English took scalping into their own hands when the Indians could no longer be relied upon, and it became an accepted – if unpleasant – reality of Colonial life. By 1723, Massachusetts was paying 100 pounds sterling for the scalps of male Indians aged 12 and over, and half that for women and children. The scalps were then burned or buried. Axtell even documents an Indian scalping by a Puritan minister, who managed somehow to reconcile it with his religious beliefs. “Along with pious thoughts, I receive 165 pounds 3-3...my part of scalp money,” reads the 1757 diary of another clergyman, the Rev. Thomas Smith of Falmouth, Maine,

Based on markings on skulls, drawings, linguistic clues, and the diaries of 15th- and 16th-century explorers, their conclusions were ultimately published in a 1981 book, The European and the Indian, which argues that the practice of scalping in North and South America predated the arrival of Christopher Columbus. “Scalps were not mere trophies or booty of war, however,” Axtell wrote. “The whorl of hair on the crown and especially male scalp locks, braided and decorated with jewelry, paint, and feathers, represented the person's ‘soul’ or living spirit. To lose that hair to an enemy was to lose control over one’s life, to become socially and spiritually ‘dead,’ whether biological death resulted or not.” English settlers adopted the practice as a retaliatory measure, he said – and then added a new twist by of-

who supplied provisions and ammunition to a scalping party made up of his parishioners. Scalping continued up to the Revolutionary War, with Englishmen even scalping each other on the battle fields. The idea of scalping continues to have powerful effects on the culture, particularly in its exclusive association with Indian warriors. “Most people have bought into the concept that Indians are savages,” says National Park Service archeologist Sam Ball. “Prejudice over this sort of thing is just plain enormous,” he says. “And it is being reinforced, rather than getting a clear, rational evaluation of what the evidence is and what reality is.” Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

Governor requests border help from Washington

ov. Greg Abbott on Sept. 30 wrote a letter to U.S. Department of Homeland Security Secretary Jeh Johnson, requesting immediate action to address “the significant increase of illegal border crossings.” Nearly 10,000 immigrant families and unaccompanied children were detained after illegally crossing the U.S.-Mexico border in August, an increase of more than 50 percent over August 2014, Abbott said, quoting official reports. Abbott mentioned the strain on state coffers and urged the immediate input of federal assistance to: • Assign 250 more U.S. Border Patrol agents to Texas; • Provide five more tethered surveillance blimps to watch for cross-border smuggling activity; • Provide a list of conditions under which individuals would be released to relatives or to private organizations in Texas communities; and • Continue supporting the

Patrick and Nelson followed up their letter with a clarifying statement, saying: “Anyone claiming the Legislature arbitrarily instructed HHSC to save taxpayers $100 million by eliminating waste, fraud and abuse without consideration of the potential impact on Texas’ most vulnerable citizens — is just flat wrong. “The 84th Legislature overwhelmingly passed a budget with bipartisan support that included Rider 50.

Why you shouldn’t use the ‘no-huddle’ offense

uddle up! was heard often in those Saturday and Sunday afternoon football games in the Leroy Price Memorial Park in Pyote, Texas in the mid-1970’s. When the age range of your team is 8 - 18, it’s important to get on the same page. “Gerry, go left to the third tree and cut across the middle. Travis, go left and long. Greg-o, go right to the first tree and stop. I’ll hit whoever is open.” The “no-huddle” offense wasn’t something we had heard of back then. Now, teams use it to try to get the upper hand by scoring quickly and by keeping the defense off balance and unable to run its practiced schemes

The “no-huddle” is, however, a short-term strategy because it is limited to the players on the field, depends on the insight of one really busy leader, and moves at a pace that is unsustainable over an extended period. It requires a ton of pre-no-huddle-huddles to prepare for the game. The huddle may not be the most exciting part of the game (Wow! What an amazing huddle! I hope they replay it!), but it is the most strategic. Here’s why:

Everyone knows what play we are running next. Everyone knows what their job is, based on the play that is called. 5. It’s the place where physical, mental, and emotional energy is channeled into making the most of the moment at hand. All the strategy sessions, practice repetitions, playbook memorization, strength building, and trust in leadership results in real life execution. Hebrews 10:24-25 – “and let us consider how to stimulate one another to love and good deeds, not forsaking

our own assembling together, as is the habit of some, but encouraging one another; and all the more as you see the day drawing near.” Church activities and services are not the real game. They are huddles. Our lives matter so much to God, that he wants us huddling regularly in preparation for real life. None of us can fulfill our purpose if we are consistently operating in “no-huddle” mode, because none of us has a purpose that is completely individual. So, huddle up this week!

LETTER Kudos to a pair of unsung Wild West workers I go to Springtown’s Wild West Festival every year, and I see so many volunteers. Their dedication and hard work makes me so proud of our community and its people. Everyone works diligently to make this annual, family-fun

event a success. However, there are two people that I wanted to give special recognition to – Dr. Larry Murphy and Pastor Hal Kincaid. Every year these two men spend the day quietly operating behind the scenes, picking up garbage and making sure that all of the trash cans stay empty. I am sure that the Chamber is very aware of their contribution, but I just wanted to say thank you to them, personally. It is probably one of the least pleasant jobs of the day, but they are always of

good cheer as they go about their work. A lot of trash is generated during the festival, and something has to be done with it! These two gentlemen make sure that it is taken care of. I am sure that Dr. Murphy and Pastor Kincaid could volunteer for other jobs. Every year, however, I see them working unnoticed, but diligently on “trash patrol.” It seems to me that it is these kinds of unnoticed acts – the acts of humble men who find satisfaction in their service and not

so much in recognition by the people they serve – that truly indicate a love for a community and its people. True “servant’s hearts” are a rarity in today’s times, but each year I see them in these two men through their work at the Wild West Festival. So, gentlemen, I just wanted to say, “Thank you.” Your dedicated service (at this event and throughout the rest of the year) does not go unnoticed. Thomas Gentry

A different perspective changes everything BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Anyone who has spent any time on or around Eagle Mountain Lake has gazed upon the handful of homes that sit majestically atop a cliff near the north end of the spillway – just around the point from Twin Points Resort. I’ve often wondered what lofty views could be seen from up there, and particularly what a thunderstorm or spectacular sunset might be like experienced from the top of that cliff. I still don’t know, and I may never. But I did see a couple of extraordinary things from that cliff Wednesday afternoon, Sept. 23. The alarm sounded just after 1 p.m. A vacant home on Samora Court was fully engulfed in flames. My nephew, his lovely wife, three beautiful children and sweet mother-in-law live at the bottom of that cliff – I ran out of the offi ce without grabbing my “emergency bag” because I was concerned with making sure everything was okay at his home. (Thankfully, I later learned it was.) That bag contains everything a girl might need at a crime scene, accident, fi re, or photo shoot: spare camera batteries, a battery pack that recharges my iPhone and iPad, a fl ashlight, antiperspirant, hair ties and clips, and a package of Wisps – tiny little toothbrushes complete with paste. And, importantly, tennis shoes. So there I was, at the foot of Samora Court. Fire trucks were lined all the way up – and I do mean up – the street, waiting to deliver their precious cargo of water. Two fi re chiefs I know agreed that I could park near the Twin Points boat launch entrance and walk up. And I do mean up. I was wearing heels. Those who know me would agree that

I could stand to lose a few pounds – 50 would only be a great start. And at age 56... hey, I’m not exactly the poster girl for physical fitness. But I climbed that hill, in heels. Believe me, as I approached the top, I was pretty sure they’d have to load me into an ambulance for a trip to the ER. At the top, weary, sweaty fi refi ghters rested in a long-ago landscaped driveway, while a fresher crew poured water to the fl aming home, and I shot many photos as they worked. Then I noticed two Tarrant County Sheriff’s deputies over near the edge of the cliff, maybe 30 feet from where I was shooting. I was facing northwest – they were looking almost due west. Looking back at that afternoon, I’m struck with the life lesson that presented itself in such a creative way. From my fi rst perspective, all I could see was destruction in the form of fi re, fl ames so hot they chewed up the mortar that held the stone facade of the home together, and the human effort being exerted to try to defeat those flames. Still breathing raggedly from my trek up the hill, I walked the 30 feet to the edge of the cliff and shifted my gaze about 35 degrees, toward the west. A lifelong dream – one I had really given up on so long ago that I’d almost forgotten – was fulfilled in that moment. The view of the lake from atop that cliff was breathtaking in its peaceful majesty. I’m not sure the greatest of photographers (which I’m not) could capture the enormity of it, but I tried.. That I saw it with my own eyes was the real reward. Sometimes when we are facing challenges, hardships, even evil, a shift in our own perspective can change it all in a nanosecond.
