BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANA now-former employee of the

Springtown Independent School Dis-trict is held in the Tarrant County jail after he waged an at-tack on the Azle Police Department Saturday night, April 5.

A police vehicle owned by the city was damaged and two offi -cers were injured in the wake of the attack.

Robert Rubin Garza III, 26, of the La Junta area, was charged with driving while intoxi-cated, a B misdemean-or; criminal mischief $1,500-20,000, a state jail felony; and three counts of assault on a public servant.

Garza is held in lieu of $2,500 bond for the DWI charge; however, he is confi ned without bond for the criminal

mischief and assault charges.

Just another nightFor Azle police offi cers Eric Scheid

and Alex Kuenzle, it was just another shift change.

Until all hell broke loose.

Kuenzle was unload-ing his gear from the patrol unit he had driv-en on the evening shift, which had just ended.

Near him, Scheid, who had just started his shift, was placing his gear into the unit he would be driving.

The offi cers heard a sudden, loud boom and ran around the corner of the building to see

a green 1997 Ford Escort that had backed into the department’s unit 119, a Tahoe typically driven by the Corpo-ral on each shift.

Damage was obvious.Garza was behind the wheel of the

Escort, attempting to restart the engine.When Kuenzle and Scheid ap-

proached the driver and told him to get out of the vehicle, he told them “No, I’m leaving.”

When he realized his car was not going to start, Garza got out of the car, looked at the offi cers and said, “I did that on purpose.”

Then Garza walked toward the of-fi cers, who ordered him to stop and get on the ground. He refused.

The fi ght is onOffi cer Scheid pulled out his Tazer

and Garza lunged at him, so Scheid deployed the device.

School District (SISD) received con-fi rmation on March 26 from the Texas Education Agency (TEA) that the dis-trict’s requests for inclement weather waivers have been approved.

SISD requested waivers for fi ve of the seven bad weather days that were missed this winter due to ice and snow.

Waivers were not requested for two of the canceled school days because of weather days that were built into the SISD 2013-2014 calendar.

Classes that were canceled on De-cember 6 will be made up on April 18.

Classes that were canceled on De-cember 9 will be made up on May 19.

While salaried employees for the school district fall under the umbrel-la of the waivers, there was still the question of what to do about hourly employees who were forced to miss work because the schools were closed.

SISD Superintendent Mike Kel-ley said that the school board chose to wait to make a decision about the hourly employees until notice had been received about the waivers.

“The board acknowledged that the decisions to close were made with the best interests of students and staff, and were due to circ*mstances complete-ly beyond our control,” Kelley said. “Our board determined that, ‘in or-der to enhance employee morale and

support the retention of employees,’ it was appropriate to forgive/excuse the absences of our employees.

“The board also acknowledged that our employees frequently go well above and beyond what is required of them, and that the consideration given in this instance was an effort to dem-onstrate support for them,” he contin-ued.

As of now there are no plans to add more bad weather days to the school calendar.

“This was a very unusual year,” Kelley said. “If this year’s weather becomes the norm, I think we will almost certainly see accommodations become a part of future calendars.”

Heeding the callRupert Harrell of Springtown can’t

remember a time when he wasn’t called to preach.

He began preaching at the early age of 15 in his home state of North Caro-lina and served as the president of the youth group at his church.

Then in 1969, Harrell said God spoke to his heart and told him to join the military.

So he volunteered for the U.S. Army and was sent to serve with Company A, 158th Assault Helicopter Battalion, 101st Airborne Division in Vietnam.

While there Harrell received his cre-dentials to minister and obtained per-mission to lead Bible studies for his fellow soldiers.

He has continued to minister to sol-diers and veterans alike since his re-turn to the United States.

Journeying backNo one will deny that combat

changes a person, but Harrell believes that giving vets a chance to experience Vietnam not as a war-zone, but a place

of hope and faith can help.“My fi rst trip back was in 1996 with

Dave Roever and General Robbie Ris-ner.” Harrell said. “It wasn’t so much that I wanted to go back to Vietnam, but that these men were going and I have such respect for them that I want-ed to go.”

Harrell began escorting Vietnam veterans back to the country in 1998, making two to three trips a year.

“We’ve found [the experience]

helps with a lot of veterans with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD),” Harrell said. “Some of them have said they didn’t have to take their medica-tion anymore once they got back.”

To date he has taken over 1,800 vets on these trips and says the majority have found a sense of peace after the journey.

It takes a near army to get ready for a track meet at Porcupine Stadium – and the venue has been mighty busy this spring. The ven-ue will have been the site of three track meets in five days by Saturday. Not only does facilities direc-tor Carl Hornback (below right with coach Duncan McLean) have to direct a slew of workers, but there are a bevy of details to be worked out – everything from highly-detailed tech-nical facets to things as simple as making sure runners’ numbers are available (upper right). On day one of the District 6-3A Track and Field Champion-ships April 9, the weather was near perfect, if a bit windy (left). Hornback and his cohorts will be back at it on Saturday when Springtown hosts the Tex-as Christian Athletic Fel-lowship state meet. Ear-lier, on April 8, Porcupine Stadium was the site of the middle school Meet of Champions. Photos by Mark K. Campbell

Acute BronchitisTreatment

Acute bronchitis is a conditionwhere the bronchioles of the lungsget inflamed. It is commonly calleda “chest cold”. The bronchioles arethe tubes in the lungs that helpdeliver oxygen to the lungs. Whenthey are inflamed, they can createthick mucus causing cough, chestpain, and shortness of breath.Most of these symptoms may lastfor up to two weeks, but it may taketwo months before the cough goesaway. If a person has multiple epi-sodes of bronchitis, then a doctorshould be seen because it couldbe a symptom of other diseasessuch as cystic fibrosis, tuberculo-sis, asthma, or chronic bronchitis.

Most doctors avoid treatingacute bronchitis with antibiotics.However, an antibiotic may be pre-scribed for smokers or certainpeople who have a history of lungconditions. Macrolide antibioticssuch as azithromycin (Zithromax)or clarithromycin (Biaxin) may beprescribed to help kill the bacteria.Over-the-counter cough medicinesmay be taken to help someonesleep, but it is best to avoid themto reduce cough because cough-ing helps clear the mucus from thelungs. Cough syrups withdextromethorphan (Delsyn) mayhelp reduce cough and runny nose.Products with guafenesin (Mucin-ex) may help break down the thickmucus in the lungs, which may helpwith congestion.

his wife sent me a letter say-ing ‘you gave me my husband back,’” Harrell said

“I also took a guy from my unit back who hadn’t been out of his bedroom for five years except to go to the Veterans Af-fairs (VA) office,” he continued “We took him and his niece and

her husband over and his niece couldn’t believe the change in him.

“We’re changing the lives of these men as well as spreading the gospel to the Vietnamese,” Harrell said.

Witnessing changeThe groups that travel with

Harrell minister to a very eager

population.“The people over there are

hungry for the Word,” Harrell said. “They want to learn all they can.”

“They stand and sing throughout the service, he con-tinued, “I’d love for more peo-ple over here to see how they worship.”

The group works with the government to ensure there are no misunderstandings.

“The Christian churches have been doing well, without any harassment from the govern-ment, until the present adminis-tration,” Harrell said. “The lo-cal government has been kind of cracking down, but the gov-ernment out of Hanoi hasn’t.”

During the most recent trip, Harrell’s organization partici-pated in two pastors’ confer-ences – one in Ho Chi Minh City and another in Hanoi.

Harrell noted the dedication of these men and women who want so desperately to spread the gospel in the communist state.

“Some of the pastors have been in prison for preaching,” Harrell said. “I know one pas-tor who – on the day he got married – was arrested for ministering in the street and he and his wife spent the next two weeks in jail separated from one another.”

Despite these incidents, Har-rell says there is real progress regarding the mission.

He said there is a coalition of seven denominations; Assem-bly of God, Baptist, Methodist, Mennonites, Church of Christ, Lutheran, Catholic, and inde-pendents who work together in Vietnam to continuously spread the Word.

“Not too long ago they had a praise celebration and 40,000 people showed up – they filled a soccer stadium,” Harrell said. “This includes 8,000 new con-verts.”

Making progressHarrell’s group is also in-

volved with a variety of hu-manitarian works in Vietnam.

The organization has worked with Madame Vu Anh Dao, Di-rector of the National Fund for Vietnamese Children (NFVC) to help an orphanage in Dong Nai that is home to mentally and physically handicapped children.

These children are often abandoned by their parents be-cause of financial hardships.

“There was one baby whose mother had thrown him in the dumpster,” Harrell said. “Fire ants had literally eaten away some of the flesh on his face

and head.”In addition to monetary sup-

port, Harrell’s group was able to donate playground materials, including a slide and swing, while the Assembly of God in North Richland Hills put in a merry-go-round.

“Fifty dollars will put a child through school for a year,” Harrell said. “We’ve also got a food program going over there where we can give them a package of food that will feed one meal to a family of five.

These packages are the same type of food aid that was pro-vided to the Haitians after the earthquake in 2010 – they cost 33 cents a package.

In addition, Harrell also par-ticipates in medical missions where American doctors have taught Vietnamese doctors do catheterizations and stints.

Continuing the missionHarrell’s organization is con-

tinuously making trips to the region to help spread the gospel and provide humanitarian aid to those in need.

Another trip is scheduled for September 4-19 of this year.

While there, the group will visit the Hoa Lo Prison mu-seum in Hanoi, Saigon, the or-phanage in Dong Nai, and go into Cambodia to see the kill-ing fields.

mation officer for the Azle PD, described what happened next.

“The Tazer immobilized him, but it didn’t take him to ground,” Hatton said. “The Taz-ers are programmed for a 5-sec-ond cycle, and when that cycle ended, Garza just grabbed the probes and pulled them out him-self. The officers tried to Tazer him again unsuccessfully.”

Officers also tried several times to drive-stun Garza with a Tazer – similar to using a stun gun to immobilize a suspect.

“Drive-stun is an approved technique that allows an officer to deliver an electrical current directly into a large body mass such as the large part of the leg or the torso,” Hatton explained. “It’s even safer than being Taz-ered, because it doesn’t deliver the prongs.”

But nothing fazed Garza.Now, Scheid and Kuenzle

had no choice but to get physi-cal. Scheid called for help from other officers on the radio, and

Officer Richard Martinez, who had been inside City Hall, came out immediately to help.

Martinez found Scheid and Kuenzle struggling with Garza.

When he tried to grab Gar-za’s arm, Garza tried to block him, striking Martinez in the face and knocking him back-ward onto his back.

Kuenzle and Scheid tried to take Garza to the ground, but Garza got back up and had to be taken down a second time, Hatton said.

“When they got him down the second time, he started swinging wildly, striking both officers in the face and torso areas,” Hatton said. “By that time, Martinez realized his knee was hurt, but he crawled over and threw his body on top of the suspect in an attempt to help subdue him.”

Corporal J.D. Ravenscroft had left the station minutes ear-lier to go home after his shift ended, but heard Scheid’s call for help on the radio.

Ravenscroft turned around and went back to the station to help his fellow officers.

Finally, with four police of-ficers on top of him, Garza was placed in handcuffs and leg re-straints, Hatton said.

He was secured inside a police vehicle while medics were dis-patched to check on him as well as Martinez and Scheid, whose hand was injured in the melee.

Garza refused medical treat-ment from Azle Fire Depart-ment paramedics. When he was later transported to Texas Health Azle’s emergency room, he re-fused treatment there, as well.

However, a blood search warrant had been obtained, and a blood specimen was collected from Garza while he was at the hospital.

Because of some routine maintenance, Garza could not be kept in the Azle jail. He was transported to the Lake Worth jail instead, where he remained until Tuesday, April 8 when he was moved to the Tarrant County jail.

The damageAzle Police Lt. Bill Russell

said on Tuesday that an insur-ance estimator is due to assess the damage to PD unit 119. A dollar amount for the damage to the vehicle won’t be known until that happens, but it ex-

pected to be more than $1,500.Martinez is believed to have

a sprained ankle, while Scheid’s hand and/or wrist are believed to be sprained, as well.

Initial reports are they each of the officers will be off work at least one week. Depending upon how they heal, either could end up being off work longer.

“Obviously, this was a trou-bled young man who was up-set about something. When he happened upon the Azle Police Department, he decided to vent some of his frustrations, which resulted in a physical confron-tation with our officers,” Rus-sell said. “I’m very grateful that our officers sustained only minor injuries and no one was badly hurt in this incident.”

Hatton said in almost nine years as a police officer, he’s never seen or heard of any-thing like what happened Sat-urday night.

“For this to happen at the station, on our ground – it was a complete assault on our offi-cers,” Hatton said. “Kuenzle and Ravenscroft were both off duty. It just goes to show that officers have to be on alert at all times.”

The falloutAmong the items found in

Garza’s car was an ID badge for the Springtown Indepen-dent School District.

SISD Superintendent Mike Kel-ley said April 8 that Garza is no longer employed by the district.

“Our policy dictates very clearly what our actions will be in cases such as this,” Kelley

said. “It’s a very simple deci-sion-making path.”

Kelley said Garza had been employed by the district in its maintenance and grounds de-partment.

Pinewood Derby

By NATAliE GENTRyApril is Child Abuse Preven-

tion Month The statistics are startling:

There were 40,249 confirmed cases of child abuse and 156 child fatalities in Texas alone in 2013.

In light of those facts the Parker County Child Protective Services Board is dedicated to bringing awareness to and pre-vention of the tragedy of child abuse and neglect that many children live with every day.

To help broaden the aware-ness of the issue board member Angie Childers delivered boxes of pencils, pens and armbands for students to the Springtown ISD Monday, April 7

Reporting child abuse and neglect can be the difference between life or death for a de-fenseless child.

The simple act of reporting

has the power to prevent child abuse, change the outcome for abused children, and strengthen our community.

Call 800-252-5400 if you see signs or symptoms of child abuse or neglect.

You can also report child abuse and/or neglect online at www. txabusehotline.org.

The Parker County Child Protective Services board will host “Saddle Up for Kids,” its annual Celebrity Chuck Wagon Dinner, May 1 at the Parker County Sheriff’s Posse Rodeo Grounds.

Viewside Veranda: Where happily ever after begins

Enjoy a dream wedding no matter the budget

This is the kind of elegance customers can expect with any occasion conducted at Viewside Veranda in Azle.

He left Eastland where Maverick football teams had posted a 35-5 mark over the last three seasons.

Hulett replaced Brad Turner who stepped down from the posi-tions in January.

Here in Springtown, Hulett said his early days have been “su-per.”

He added, “I’ve been learning the lay of the land, the kids and coaches, how everything goes here. I’m real excited; everything has been going wonderful.”

Hulett said he met with future Springtown athletes soon after he arrived here. “When I started, I did meet with the kids – started with the older kids and worked my way down.

“They’ve been receptive and bought in; there have been zero problems.”

As a youth, Hulett played football at Springlake-Earth in the Panhandle.

From there, he became a Greyhound at Eastern New Mexico University in Portales.

He said his coaching career began at Cisco. After six years there, Hulett ventured to Pampa for a pair of football seasons.

Then came six football seasons and seven springs at Eastland.Hulett said he does not come to the gridiron with unique offen-

sive or defensive schemes in mind.“I think you do what your kids can do,” he said. “I’m not mar-

ried to anything specific. I want good, hard-working kids that can act right and work hard.

“We’ll find something they can do then we’ll work on it.”Hulett said he has a “love-hate” relationship with the ever-pop-

ular summer football 7-on-7 tournament.“I love the aspect that you get to practice. It’s one of those situ-

ations that if everyone else is going to do it, you need to do it and get better at it,” he said. “I’ve always done it and always been around it. I like our kids competing.

“The ‘hate’ relationship is having them doing things when you can’t actually coach them and correct them. I don’t want prob-lems started before we get to actually coach our kids.”

Hulett arrives at a time when the districts were just realigned.While there was little change – Mineral Wells left and Alvarado

was added – it still contains mighty Kennedale.“Mineral Wells is a good program, but I think it got a little

tougher with Alvarado coming in,” the AD said.He added that the other schools in the district “are getting better

all the time. It’s a tougher district than it has been.”The Hulett football era begins August 4 when “4A” Springtown

– the UIL classification changes approved earlier takes effect next school year – with two-a-day preseason workouts.

After scrimmages against Sanger and Bridgeport, the official start to Hulett leading the Porcupines begins with the season opener against Decatur August 29.

*Data provided by USGS, April 8

by mark k. campbellKathy Crabtree and Andie

D’Avignon from the Spring-town Library spoke to the Op-timist Club April 8.

They said things are motor-ing along at the library.

Crabtree said the library at 626 North Main Street accom-modates all ages.

She said a sunny children’s area is popular, complete with bean bag chairs and stuffed ani-mals.

The library offers more than just books, she said. Visitors can check out DVDs and audio CDs.

Aside from seven public computers in the building, lap-tops are available for checkout and the library is now equipped with Wi-Fi.

Books of course are the mainstay and Crabtree said in-spirational tomes and Westerns are most popular with Spring-town readers.

Springtown is part of the Parker County Library Consor-tium. Most recently, Mineral Wells joined the group, even though the town is located in Palo Pinto County.

That’s how good the consor-tium is, Crabtree said – it at-tracted a neighboring library.

Parker County libraries in the organization include Azle, Weatherford, East Parker County, and Millsap.

Crabtree said the group of-fers a “courier service.” If you find a book you want and it’s at another of the consortium’s shelves, it will be delivered to Springtown.

Once again, the library will conduct summer programs for children – five total beginning each Thursday in June.

A magician is coming as well as a clown and a puppet show. Crabtree added that the “critter mom” was especially popular last year and will return.

The library takes donations,

she said. Money is also raised by Friends of the Library and through book sales.

Some funds also come from

the county; around half of the library’s visitors are from out-side the city limits, she said.

Currently, the library houses

479 audio books as well as mu-sic CDs.

D’Avignon said ebooks and emagazines are becoming ex-ceptionally popular.

Downloading a magazine is easy, she said, adding that you can keep the publication on your electronic device as long as you like.

Right now, the library offers about 50 different magazines for free downloading.

Portals to ebooks and emaga-zines are available through the library’s website www.spring-townlibrary.com.

andie D’avignon uses a tablet to illustrate to Spring-town Optimist club members how easy it is to down-load books and magazines electronically.

EditorMark K. Campbell

On bearing down on a really big anniversary

Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and, yes, he referenced 1966’s Batman: The Movie

starring the only real Batman, Adam West.

My 40th wedding anniversary is on the horizon.

(I know what you’re thinking: “No way a guy

who looks like that photo over there could possibly be married 40 years! Sixty, maybe…” Actually, the an-niversary isn’t until the summer of 2015, but at my age, you round up all numbers just in case.)

Anyway, the Bride and I don’t al-ways agree about things. Well, almost nothing, really. After Jesus, Kincaid’s, and Kauai, the list peters out.

I believe in marking major life events and being married for 40 years – I’m assuming it will happen – qualifies. While a return trip to Kauai hasn’t been ruled out, we have differ-ent ideas about personal dream desti-nations.

The Bride is a photographer and a lover of wide open spaces.

She is determined to get to Alaska where the light is supposed to be won-derful, the colors spellbinding, and the wilderness begging to be shot – either with a camera or a gun.

All I can think is that Alaska is the bear capital of the earth.

As someone who has a premonition of his death and that it will come – somehow – via a bear, Alaska is about the last place I want to visit.

Previous columns have detailed the reason why bears are most evil crea-tures on the planet: Humans can’t out-run them, out-swim them, or out-climb them. That doesn’t leave much in the way of escape.

Shooting bears just makes them mad – almost as angry as spraying “bear repellent” at them which prob-ably works better than “shark repel-lent” – unless you get the hard-to-find Bat Shark Repellent (Bat utility belt extra) that was taken off the market back in the mid-60’s or so. That stuff

worked great!S u p p o s -

edly, if you give bears fair warning by singing ditties as you march along the tun-dra, they will let you be. I don’t believe that; doesn’t that actually alert the bears that you are near?

BEAR 1: (paws over ears) What’s that god-aw-ful noise?

BEAR 2: Sounds like someone sing-ing – or trying to sing – Air Supply.

BEAR 1: Score! Lunch!There are two more problems with

Alaska. The Bride wants to cruise there. I’m not great on the water,

something that has curiously come with old age. On the ship, there’s all that bobbing and weaving and rolling and, eventually, barfing. No scenery is lovely if your head is buried in a bucket.

Plus, cruises don’t exactly have the greatest reputations. They are even worse disease infested areas than day care centers.

And what if we lost power and be-came adrift in the cold Alaskan waters with all that rolling and rocking while the horizon filled with wild-eyed, smiling bears swimming rapidly to-ward the listing boat…no thanks.

The other major Alaskan problem – aside from it being cold all the time – is mosquitoes. My Uncle Billy was stationed there during WW II and he said they are gigantic beasts that you can literally hear flying from afar as they swarm upon any poor sucker who dares to disembark the still-bobbing ocean liner.

So, as you can see, I’m not an Alas-ka guy.

And the bride is far from crazy about my choice, New York City.

Not that we’ve ever been, but, to me, NYC is a magical place filled with great history, artists of every sort, mu-seums, and is the pulse of the planet.

The Bride could not imagine a worse place: crowded, murderers and muggers and Travis Bickles every-where, loud, full of rude people, and, very likely, stinky.

I think Manhattan and she thinks Taxi Driver.

Alaska versus New York. Since one of the keys to staying married 40 years (well, in Aug. 2015) is compromise, I suppose we’ll end up in Kansas City – I wonder how the bear situation is up there?

ON YOURMARK

Mark K. Campbell

Have you ever had those moments when you needed something, but you didn’t know what to call it? Maybe you called it a thingama-

jig, a doohickie, a whatchamacallit… but when you got it, you knew that it was absolutely perfect for the task at hand.

Our family has a Thingy. Her name is Sue, but to all of us, she is Thingy. The whole story of how she got that name is “need to know,” so if you don’t know…

Thingy became my step-mother in 1985, a little over a year after my Sweetie be-came my Mrs. I don’t think it is too strong a statement to say that, in many ways, Thingy and Dad rescued each other. If it wasn’t a match made in heaven, it has been, at the very least, a great partnership and grand adventure.

She has been Thingy to us from the beginning. When Mrs. Sweetie and I called to tell them we were expect-ing their first grandchild, we told her she was going to be a Grand-Thingy. It didn’t take long for the grandchildren to simply make it Thingy.

She has filled our lives with laughter (often at her expense), wisdom (she is not particularly hesitant to share an opinion), fun (yes, “Thingy” fits), and a visible example of strength and courage. Thingy has been completely wheelchair bound with Multiple Scle-rosis for the past 20 years. That is as long as some of her grandchildren have been alive and I’m not sure that any of them have anything more than

a vague recollection of her being able to walk. Thingy’s wheelchair has been a part of our lives.

Last September, she was diagnosed with cancer. Surgery to remove her bladder came in October. Two weeks ago, tests revealed that the cancer has returned aggressively and is in lungs and liver and is spreading through her bloodstream. It appears that, in a few short months, God is going to say,

“Hand me my Thingy.”She had all her kids and

grandkids with her this past weekend. We laughed, told stories, and made plans for her memorial celebra-tion. We all went together to her church, where she led the children’s sermon. There were some tears once in awhile, but it was not a somber time. She told me she doesn’t want any “draggy” songs at her memorial celebration. So I promised her none of us would come in drag.

Since my life is lived out in my column/blog, I knew I would be writing about her at some point. I de-cided I wanted to write it now, while she is still here to read it. So, indulge me for a moment.

Thingy, I love you with all my heart. I could not have asked for a bet-ter partner for Dad, a second mom for me, or a better Grand-Thingy for my children. Someday we are going to run laps in Heaven.

The wheelchair stays here.

Hand me my Thingy

LIFE MATTERSGerry Lewis

Azle resident Dr. Gerry Lewis is director ofmissions for the Harvest Baptist Association,

which is headquartered in Decatur. He writes a blog at www.lifematterstoday.blogspot.com/

In the summer of ’62, Mary’s grandson Rob (Rooney and Charlotte’s child) was taken ill and died in Warrenton, NC where Charlotte had taken him to recuperate at the mineral

baths. Mary went to comfort Char-lotte, who had yet to deliver her sec-ond child, but was called away quickly when she learned that Annie was ill with typhoid fever. She traveled to Warrenton Springs and later wrote of the event: ‘...[Annie’s] hands too cold & clammy. I sent for the doctor, but he did not seem so alarmed as I was...Af-ter 12 o'clock, she seemed not to notice who was around her & never called me, which she was apt to do frequently during the night. Her eyes were raised to the ceiling & her breath became more labored. Toward day we found she could not swallow the brandy. The Dr. came & said her pulse was scarcely perceptible & she lay quietly, her life ebbing away, with her hand warm & soft in my bosom, till at 7 o'clock all was still. Only twenty-three years old, Anne Carter Lee passed away. Mary’s

sorrows continued when a few weeks later, Charlotte gave birth to a sickly daughter that died shortly thereafter. Mary made the difficult journey back to Charlotte’s side to comfort her, even though she was now almost completely immobile due to her crippling disease. Still, when not tending to the needs of others, she spent every waking moment knitting socks for the soldiers and even nursed Rooney back to health after he’d been shot in the leg during the Battle of Brandy Station before he was removed from the house by a Federal posse and taken prisoner of war.

“When things settled down, Mary made arrangements to be moved to a small house located on East Leigh Street in Richmond. A few days prior to Christmas that year, Robert and Custis made a surprise visit; although Robert returned to be with his troops for Christmas. Charlotte, still grieving the loss of two children, died Christ-mas Eve. As she lay on her deathbed, Custis, now a brigadier general, of-fered himself to the Federals for 48 hours; just long enough for Rooney

to come to his wife as she lay dying. The feder-als refused. Rooney re-mained a pris-oner of war until he was e x c h a n g e d in a prisoner exchange in 1864.

“On Janu-ary 11, 1864, property taxes on Arlington

became delinquent and it ended up on the auction block at Alexandria Court-house where it sold to the U.S. Gov-ernment for a mere bid of $26,800. Prior to the delinquency, Mary sent her cousin Phillip Fendall to pay the tax; however the tax commissioner refused the payment, citing the owner must pay in person. The government knew of Mary’s ailing health and her inability to make the journey, as well

as the fact she was the wife of the commanding general of the Army of Northern Virginia. The government was quite sure Mary Custis Lee would not be returning to Alexandria to pay the tax.

“In 1865, as the Yankees threatened to overtake Richmond, residents were packing up their valuables and flee-ing the city – everyone, save Mary. Instead, she and her daughters bolted their doors and windows and prepared to defend themselves. While hunkered down, they heard the explosions of the Confederate vessels in the river as well as the earth-moving booms of the powder magazine blowing up. Flames spread to the houses of the city and as the fire neared her own home, Union General Godfrey Weitzel approved a neighbor’s request for an ambulance to take Mary to a safe place. Mary re-fused. Just as the flames threatened to engulf her home, the wind shifted and her house was secured. When the Yan-kees fully occupied the city, a Union sentry was placed at her door for her safety. Although it was the enemy

guarding her, Mary saw to it the sentry was well-fed. On Sunday, April 9, she was startled to hear the sound of a can-non and later learned it was artillery fired to mark the end of the war. Rob-ert E. Lee had surrendered. On Sat-urday, April 15, Robert and Rooney found their way home to Mary.

“With the war over, Mary petitioned the federal government to return her property – they refused. By this time, her health was so deteriorated she was unable to travel or move about on her own. She needed constant care. Her son Rob wrote of her condition: ‘She was a great invalid from rheumatism, and had to be lifted wherever she moved. When put in her wheel-chair, she could propel herself on a level floor, or could move about her room very slowly and with great difficulty on her crutches, but she was always bright, sunny-tempered, and uncomplaining, constantly occu-pied with her books, letter, knitting, and painting…’”

A Fort Hood sol-dier brought a civilian semi-a u t o m a t i c pistol to the sprawling mili-

tary post 60 miles north of the Capitol city on April 2 and opened fire, killing three fellow service members and wound-ing 16 others before turning the .45-caliber weapon on himself.

The suspect, Specialist Ivan Lopez, 34, died of an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound reportedly after a female mili-tary police officer confronted him.

Gov. Rick Perry, in a state-ment released the day of the shooting, said, “Today, Fort Hood was once again stricken by tragedy. As Texans, our first priority must be caring for the victims and their families. Fort Hood has proven its resilience before and will again. Texas will support those efforts in any way we can, with any resources necessary. The thoughts and prayers of all Texans are with everyone affected by this trag-

edy.”A t t o r -

ney Gen-eral Greg A b b o t t , on April 3, said he would s e n d members of his C r i m e V i c t i m Services Division to Fort H o o d to work w i t h victims of the attack and that victims may apply for reim-bursem*nt for out-of-pocket expenses through the state Crime Victims’ Compensation Fund.

Abbott, the state’s chief law enforcement officer, said: “Our hearts break for the wounded military men and women and the families of those who died. Few answers can be found in the days immediately after such

a tragedy, but we pledge to as-sist in any we can. Members of our military and Texans in the Fort Hood area have stared down adversity before and they will do it again.”

An April 3 White House news release said “the De-partment of Defense has the lead on the investigation with support from federal partners including the FBI, as well as state and local law enforce-ment personnel.”

‘Obamacare’ enrollment endsWith an official enrollment

total and supporting informa-tion yet to come, a few hundred thousand Texans applied and obtained health insurance cov-erage under the U.S. Affordable Care Act before the March 31 enrollment deadline.

The Obama administration’s national goal of gaining 7 mil-lion enrollees reportedly was met after months of technical problems with the healthcare.gov website created to process applications.

Still, an estimated one-fourth

of the state’s 26 million resi-dents do not have health in-surance but are eligible under “Obamacare,” leaving Texas among the least-covered states.

Statewide enrollment climbsPublic school enrollment in

Texas reached 5,075,840 in 2012-2013 and “continues to surge, growing by 820,019 stu-dents or more than 19 percent over the past decade,” the Tex-as Education Agency reported on April 1.

The 2012-2013 school year marked the first time that state-wide enrollment officially topped five million, the agency said and from the 1987-1988 school year to the 2012-2013 school year enrollment grew 57.4 percent, or about 1.85 mil-lion students.

Pulling information from its new report, “Enrollment in Texas Public Schools 2012-2013,” the agency noted the composition of the overall student body was 51.3 percent Hispanic, 30.0 percent white, 12.7 percent African American,

3.6 percent Asian and 1.8 per-cent multiracial.

Safety campaign is launchedTexas Department of Trans-

portation on April 2 urged motorists “to put away their mobile devices and other dis-tractions, and pay attention to the road.”

April, the agency said, marks National Distracted Driving Awareness Month and the kick-off of TxDOT’s annual “Talk, Text, Crash” public education campaign.

The Talk, Text, Crash cam-paign warns motorists about the dangers of distractions and urges them to avoid multitask-ing or engaging in non-driving activities until they arrive at their destination.

John Barton, TxDOT deputy executive director, said, “The statistics in Texas are sobering. One in five traffic crashes in Texas is caused by a distracted driver, and last year, 459 people were killed as a result. Those deaths were preventable…”

TxDOT gave examples of

distractions, including: tex-ting, checking email, eating and drinking, grooming, read-ing, programming a navigation system, watching a video, and adjusting a radio, CD player or other audio device.

Unemployment rate dropsTexas Workforce Commis-

sion on March 28 reported employers added 37,600 sea-sonally adjusted total nonfarm jobs in February and “those ad-ditions, coupled with a revised gain of 43,000 jobs in Janu-ary, boosted annual growth to 314,200 jobs in Texas.”

Texas’ seasonally adjusted unemployment rate was 5.7 percent in February, the com-mission reported, adding that the rate was down from 6.5 percent in February 2013, a full percentage point below the na-tion’s February unemployment rate of 6.7 percent.

A 10-3 thumping of Castle-berry at the SHS diamond all but guaranteed the Porcupine baseball team a playoff berth.

Coach Stan Gideon said, “A win Friday [April 11 at Lake Worth] will put us in the play-offs with three games to go.”

Games remaining: Mineral Wells, Diamond Hill, Kennedale.

Members of the Springtown High tennis and girls golf teams have earned playoff berths.

The tennis squad, led by longtime coach Ron Elston, will have its “Magnificent Sev-en” extending its season.

A top two finish was required at the April 7-8 district tourney.

The duo of Parker DeLano and Rayanna Havens took the district crown in girls doubles.

Other SHS athletes finished second to secure regional slots.

Amanda Glover was the runner-up in girls singles. In boys doubles, Phillip Schnei-der-Jacobie Strange took the silver. The mixed doubles team of Jennifer Adams-J Hicks will

also move on after a second place finish.

The regional tournament is set for the Texas Tech McLeod Tennis Center in Lubbock April 16-17.

The girls golf team finished second in district, falling in a playoff with Mineral Wells.

Still, the entire SHS team will travel to Lubbock and, on the same dates as the tennis qualifiers, play at the Shadow Hills Golf Course.

The team: Abbi Hatton, Ra-chael Rayford, Kaylon Cre-meen, Michaela Rodriguez, Kaitie Sugg, and Jimmy Gee.

Trey Skaggs will represent the Porcupines April 14-15.

by MARK K. CAMPbeLLWith a nice late-inning rally

to send visiting Castleberry away with a stunning loss, Springtown is almost certain to advance to the postseason.

The Lady Lions and Lady Porcupines were tied 2-2 enter-ing the bottom of the sixth in-ning.

Each time earlier that the River Oaks team had scored, SHS answered.

The tying run in the fourth that made the game 2-2 was plated by Julia Perez.

The deciding blow came in the sixth when Gabby Casano-va clobbered an inside-the-park home run, a grand slam.

Ace Kelsey Huff got the complete game win.

The victory solidified third place for Springtown at 4-3.

Coach Amy Balke said, “Four teams are moving on to the playoffs, so it’s looking good.”

Regular season games re-maining include one more home game on Senior Night, April 15 against Mineral Wells.

Area meet next for SHS

Since District 6-3A partici-pates in an Area meet, winning a district title does not guaran-tee a slot at the regional meet in Lubbock April 25-26.

A top four finish at the April 9-10 district meet propelled those quartets to the Area round, set for Graham Wednes-day, April 16.

There, the top four athletes in each event from 5-3A schools – Vernon, Burkburnett, Iowa Park, Wichita Falls Hirschi, and Graham – will face the best 6-3A athletes.

Success there is when run-ners, jumpers, and throwers lock in their regional berths.

Let’s have a heart-to-heart, woman-to-woman.

So far, so good for the re-cent spate of Marvel superhero movies.

They are on a Pixar-esque run. Of course, even Pixar pe-tered out (thank you Cars 2[2011, Movie Man No. 934, a 4]).

But it’s still clear sailing for Marvel – the second Captain America movie is pretty good.

About the fi lmFor decades, Marvel and DC,

were the Ford/Chevy rivals of the comic book business. Dev-otees of each defended their preferences fervently.

Now, DC, despite the success of the Batman series and the most recent Superman, Man of Steel (2012, MM #1040, 7), is anxious to enjoy some Aveng-ers (2012, MM #981, 8) strato-sphere success with their corral of superheroes.

And those gears are in mo-tion. On the horizon is a meet-ing/teaming of Superman and Batman set for May 6, 2016 (mark your calendars now). The Man of Steel Superman is back in Henry Cavill as well as the same Lois Lane (Amy Ad-ams), Perry White (Laurence Fishburne) and Martha Kent (Diane Lane).

The updating comes with Batman (the hubbub over Ben Affl eck donning the cape has fi nally settled down) and a new Alfred (Jeremy Irons). Not to mention DC is beginning to drop in some lower tier heroes, taking a page from Marvel’s movie universe book.

The still-untitled DC movie also stars Wonder Woman (Gal Gadot).

Other rumors are rampant: Denzel Washington as Green Lantern, Nightwing (Bat-man’s sidekick), and the villain Doomsday.

The Marvel plan began showcasing less popular char-acters to great success. After introducing the DC crew above (and certainly some surprises to boot), next will come DC’s

version of the Avengers super team, The Justice League of America.

Like the Avengers, the JLA was a squad that regularly changed. That movie is pen-ciled in for 2017. That’s pretty far off, but speculation is that, aside from Superman, Bat-man, and Wonder Woman, the rest of the League might be Green Lantern, Aquaman, the Flash, and, hopefully one of the Movie Man’s few DC favorites, Martian Manhunter.

If they hit and if Marvel’s streak stays alive, forget the Golden Age of comics – nerds will be in the Golden Age of su-perhero movies.

The plotSteve Rogers/Captain Amer-

ica (Chris Evans, who actually starred in two Marvel movies that weren’t mega-hits, as the Human Torch in a pair of Fan-tastic Four movies [2005, MM #621, 6 and Rise of the Silver Surfer [2007, MM #723, 6]) is still trying to adjust to the mod-ern world.

He befriends a man, Sam (Anthony Mackey). Then Cap and Black Widow (Scarlett Jo-hansson) get put on a mission to stop pirates who have taken a S.H.I.E.L.D ship at sea. They succeed and Nick Fury (Sam-uel L. Jackson) reports to his boss Alexander Pierce (Robert Redford).

Meanwhile, a mighty killer known as the Winter Soldier (Sebastian Stan) is assassinat-ing powerful folks. When he and Cap meet up, the patriotic hero recognizes his nemesis. The Winter Soldier is under the command of Pierce who has a nefarious plan to keep the world “safe.”

Eventually, Cap gets on the outs with S.H.I.E.L.D. along with Mackey – who also has an alternate guise as the Falcon, a former solider with mechanical equipment that allows him to fl y – and the Black Widow.

They fi gure out that

S.H.I.E.L.D. has an enemy infi ltration problem, and the gears are in motion for a mass casualty incident that would kill millions of Americans. The good guy trio must stop the in-fi ltrators as well as the relent-less Winter Soldier.

What worksEvans is really good as Cap.

He’s getting the hang of adjust-ing to the future in some ways; he has a small notebook where he jots down suggestions from friends (each country’s copy of The Winter Soldier movie has a “must-see/-read/-hear list” unique to that nation).

Cap’s biggest problem is the way modern America protects its freedom by taking away in-dividual rights – fortunately, di-rectors Anthony and Joe Russo don’t relentlessly hammer this topic to death. In fact, the mov-ie is exceptionally well made overall, too.

And, unlike last week’s Noah(MM #1081, 4), The Winter Soldier’s sound track is excel-lent.

Redford is tricky here. Ini-tially, his role is meek and it looks like he’s out of his ele-ment in a superhero movie. But that really changes later.

There are some good action sequences here (but see What doesn’t work). Samuel L. Jack-son, so good as Fury, gets tan-

gled up with the Winter Soldier and the initial attack on the ship at sea highlights Cap’s groovy offensive use of his shield.

Finally, the pair of stingers (one at the beginning of the end credits and the other at the very conclusion) is made mainly for True Believers; the fi rst is a hint to what’s coming in the Aveng-ers sequel, Age of Ultron, while the other, much more vague, teases Captain America 3 (due in 2016 – the same day as the Batman-Superman movie!).

Best sceneCap gets on an elevator with

a couple of guys. Then it stops and a few more get into the car.

And it happens a third time. Cap deduces that all these

fellows wish him ill. After a comic book-appropriate wise-crack, there’s a mighty fi ght in the close quarters of a glass el-evator. It’s perfectly done.

What doesn’t work (spoiler)

The fi ght scenes go on too long. They all begin great but go on and on. Since the movie is a heinie-testing 136 minutes, a few cuts would’ve been nice.

The plot gets bogged down and is pretty ridiculous in tying the master conspiracy together.

Black Widow’s Rogue trick near the conclusion seemed like a cheat, somehow.

The Marvel effort of intro-ducing so many characters gets pushed a little here with the cameo appearance of Agent 13 (Emily VanCamp); she’ll likely be Cap’s future girlfriend in the third movie. But it’s getting hard to keep track of the heroes these days.

The rating

With very few cuss words, the PG-13 is exclusively for ac-tion and minor gore. It’s a very mild PG-13.

Summing up

The Winter Soldier is good. It’s not nearly as other-worldly

as Marvel’s other comics and is actually more of an Old School espionage thriller than a super-hero fantasy.

Next upRio 2, looks like more of the

same which is not a good thing (2011, MM #926, 4) and Draft Day looks like a snorer.

So the Movie Man will likely decide between the surprise success of God’s Not Dead(Christians speaking with their pocketbooks) and The Grand Budapest Hotel (another bigger than expected hit).

He’s really treading water until Spider-Man 2 on May 2.

By Natalie GeNtryVeronica Riera-Gilley, a li-

censed pharmacist, is passion-ate about sharing the tools of yoga to help people develop their mind body connection.

“It is an important part of self-care and preventative med-icine.” Riera-Gilley said.

While the Springtown resi-dent’s search for a way to help people strengthen their mental and physical health has been a purposeful mission, she began her yoga journey on a whim.

“My grandfather passed away in 2008 before I began my journey into [the organi-zation] Yoga and Mind-Body Medicine,” Riera-Gilley said. “He was confined to a bed the last two years of his life, and he wanted to reconnect with his body.

“He asked me for ways to help, and I had nothing to of-fer him because there was no pathology and nothing that had a pharmaceutical fix,” she con-tinued.

Soon after that, she found what she was looking for.

“I took a class at a gym and fell in love with it because I got so much relief in my spine after just once class,” Riera-Gilley said. “I had to learn more, so I started taking as many classes as possible and attending yoga conferences.

“I discovered there was so much more to yoga than heat-ed rooms and flowing pos-tures,” she continued. “I never dreamed I’d be teaching yoga

or that seniors would be my favorite population of students and patients.

“After I took Adapting Yoga for Disability Level 1, I knew that I had found exactly what my grandfather had been look-ing for: a rekindling of his mind-body connection,” Riera-Gilley said.

East meets WestWhile many people may

think that Yoga for Disabilities and work as a pharmacist contradict one another with the concepts of Western medi-cine contrast-ing with East-ern healing, R ie ra -Gi l l ey doesn’t see it that way.

“ L e a r n i n g body aware-ness helped me recover from a serious low back injury without narcot-ics or surgery,” Riera-Gilley said. “I had a rap-pelling accident and fractured several vertebrae.

“Eventually, my personal practice of yoga was influenc-ing how I counseled patients in my professional pharmacy practice about lifestyle modi-fication, and I wanted to start sharing body awareness with

patients in the community,” she said.

“The mindfulness practices I learned from yoga gave me tools for helping patients real-ize how much influence they have over their conditions when they listen to their bodies.”

Riera-Gilley said that human bodies are very intelligent, but people are disconnected from them and often cover up symp-toms of a problem with a pill

before taking time to explore what the body is trying to tell them.

“I began to realize that both patients and practitio-ners have faith in the magic bullet system where there is a pill for ev-ery symptom, Rie ra -Gi l l ey said. “Because of this, we of-ten have a pas-sive approach to our health, and feel help-

less when medications don’t provide the results we expect.”

Get to know your bodyTeaching body awareness

with the breath has become a key part of Riera-Gilley’s pa-tient counseling.

She said body awareness is the starting place for patients to

take charge of their health be-cause it gives them a reference for the feedback their body gives them and it can reinforce their healthy habits.

“For example, body aware-ness helps patients to eat bet-ter because they start to recog-nize how different foods make them feel,” Riera-Gilley said. “This in turn results in weight loss, stress reduction, improved mood, reductions in blood pres-sure and blood sugar, increased immunity, and decreased pain.

“All of these benefits can add up to significantly reduced doses or eliminate the need for certain medications,” she con-tinued.

Riera-Gilley learned how to share the mind-body connec-tion with everyone, and moved past the mindset that yoga must look a certain way and that patients’ health goals should match those mapped out by textbook standards.

Mind-Body Solutions has made the benefits of yoga avail-able to anyone, not just those with a strong flexible body, she said.

“I wish that I had had this training before my grandfa-ther passed away,” She said. “I didn’t know how to help him, especially with yoga, since he had no mobility.

“I have learned how to be creative and see past the shape of a pose,” Riera-Gilley said. “I have learned not to dismiss

what a patient feels even if the Western medical model says it isn’t possible.”

Helping those in needAfter training Riera-Gilley

said she had to confront her own discomfort of working

with people who are different-ly-abled and learn not to be consumed by the sadness she thought she was supposed to feel for their lack or difference of ability.

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANThe Parker County Grand

Jury returned a “no bill” in the case of Katherine Kuehner, 53, when it met to consider evidence in numerous criminal cases April 3 in Weatherford.

In other action three Spring-town residents and two from Azle were indicted.

Kuehner was arrested by the Parker County Sheriff’s Offi ce on September 23, 2013 for the murder of her husband, Curtis Kuehner.

“According to the investiga-tion, there were previous allega-tions of domestic abuse, as well as fresh injuries to her face, arms, legs, and body, which she indi-cated she suffered at the hands of her husband,” said Parker County District Attorney Don Schnebly.

“There was never any ques-tion that Mrs. Kuehner shot her husband; the issue was whether or not it was in self-defense. Mrs. Kuehner gave a statement, which was corroborated by a polygraph examination, describing very seri-ous abuse and fearing for her life the day of the shooting. In decid-ing the case, it was appropriate for the grand jury to review all the

circ*mstances surrounding the shooting.”

The grand jury did return 27 indictments against 24 individ-uals the same day.

• Steve Arby Chandler II, 43, of Springtown, was indicted for fail-ure to register as a sex offender, a third-degree felony.

• Shawn Patrick Hurst II, 19, of Springtown, was indicted for burglary of a habitation, a second-degree felony.

• Michael Gene Linthicum, 46, of Azle, was indicted for failure to register as a sex offender, a third-degree felony.

• Scott Merlyn Moss, 61, of Azle, was indicted for theft of property $1,500-$20,000, a state jail felony.

Those indicted who do not re-side in the Azle or Springtown areas include:

• Paula Carol Addison, 52, of Mineral Wells, was indicted for possession of a controlled sub-stance in penalty group 1, one to four grams, a third-degree felony.

• Vickie Gail Blevins, 58, of Weatherford, was indicted for driving while intoxicated, third or more, a third-degree felony.

First earthquakes, now water woes.State Representative Phil King (R-Weather-

ford) has been named to the Joint Interim Com-mittee to Study Water Desalination.

The committee is charged with examining the status of seawater and groundwater desalination in Texas, as well as ways that expanded use of desalinated water could help meet Texas’ needs.

“Water continues to remain a top priority for Texas and for our community,” King said. “Looking at alternative solutions to address our future water needs is critical for ensuring a strong Texas economy.”

During the 83rd Legislative Session, HB 4 was passed and signed into law by Governor Rick Perry.

The legislation established the SWIFT account to pay for needed water supply and conservation projects across Texas.

Last November, Texans voted by a three-to-one margin to dedicate funding for those proj-ects in the Texas Constitution.

The appointees will work to ensure that efforts to improve the state’s water supply are properly and effectively implemented.

They will also help the full House prepare to address water matters in the next legislative ses-sion, which begins in January 2015.

King is also a member of the Subcommittee on Seismic Activity that is looking into the swarm of earthquakes that occurred in the area late last year and early in 2014.

Group will study water desalination

Parker County arrests

“I now celebrate what pa-tients can do rather than focus on what they can’t do,” she said. “This shift has greatly im-proved my patient counseling skills in the pharmacy.

“I have more to offer patients now that I am not just focused on finding the right pill for the right symptom,” Riera-Gilley said.

She said she has big plans to help bolster this concept within the healthcare community by creating a scholarship.

“I am in the early stages of generating awareness about resources that offer to train healthcare professionals and yoga teachers,” Riera-Gilley said. “I would like to see the adaptive community in North Texas grow and I would like to see it benefit patients at the point of care with cooperation between yoga teachers and healthcare professionals in hos-pitals and outpatient clinics.”

To reach this goal Riera-Gil-ley has chosen to participate in this year’s Kiss My Asana Yo-gathon to raise both funds and awareness for the organization.

She has set up a page at www.firstgiving.com/fundrais-er/veronica-rx/kiss-my-asana-yogathon where donations can be made.

“If people would like to con-tribute online, I am asking for the community’s support to collect 2,000 $5 donations,” Riera-Gilley said.

She will also continue teach-ing gentle yoga classes for the

public on the lawn near the vol-leyball courts at the Springtown City Park at 7 p.m. on April 14, and 28 as part of her fundrais-ing efforts.

She asks for a donation of $10 per class and that people planning to attend bring a mat and water.

All donations will go to the Mind-Body Solutions organi-zation.
