A Dazzling Dazzler

by CArlA NoAH StutSmANAn Azle man was arrested and

charged with cruelty to livestock animal(s) Feb. 3 after a pony was at-tacked by a pack of dogs.

Juan Gabriel Mesta, 40, was booked into the Parker County jail, where he posted $2,500 bond and was released the following day.

According to a press release, Park-er County Sheriff’s deputies found a two-year-old Shetland pony owned by Mesta wandering in the 100 block of Arvel Circle in Reno suffering from injuries apparently received during the attack.

Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said the sight of the Shetland was hor-rific.

“The Shetland had no ears and the facial muscles had been ripped off of its face,” Fowler said. “It’s a senseless tragedy that could have been 100-per-cent avoidable had the horse’s owner simply followed the law and kept it properly contained.”

Mesta told deputies the horse was not injured when he last checked on him the previous day.

Deputies and animal control offi-cers said when the Shetland was found Tuesday, a potent smell of infection was evident, leading investigators to question the actual time frame of in-jury claimed by Mesta.

Mesta told deputies he typically tied

the pony up in various locations on his property for “grazing purposes,” and because the property lacked adequate fencing to house the Shetland.

Deputies discovered a large grue-some scene where the horse had been

attacked by dogs, leaving tracks, horse hair and blood in the area, including in trees.

Deputies also reported no water source was found for the Shetland in the immediate area where he had been tied up.

Mesta told investigators he only wa-tered the pony every-other day.

The horse was medically evaluated by a veterinarian and is currently re-ceiving treatment.

Veterinarian staff reported the Shet-land is expected to survive the maul-

“It’s remark-able how a horse

can endure such a tragic mauling...

by CArlA NoAH StutSmANConstruction is well underway on a

new building at a new location for a business that’s been in Azle for years.

Russell Feed & Supply has an-nounced plans to open its new loca-tion at 1312 Northwest Parkway in early April.

Now in its 17th year, Russell Feed & Supply was founded by Kenny and Teresa Russell with the purchase of Ruthardt Pet & Feed Centers in 1997.

The new location just about one mile west of the current store will of-fer almost double the amount of park-ing, warehouse and retail space, a spokesperson said.

The new store will also offer more convenience due to its location at the western edge of Azle where State Highway 199 runs both east and

a one-way access road.Because the new store will be 50

percent larger, it has room to feature a

propane filling station, bulk fertilizer, a much larger selection of products, and increased parking.

The store will also begin hosting monthly low-cost vaccination clinics soon after opening.

Store hours will also increase when Russell Feed opens the doors in its new location, staying open an extra hour each weekday until 7 p.m., the spokesperson said.

Business hours at the new location will be Monday through Friday, 8 a.m.-7 p.m., Saturdays 8 a.m.-6 p.m., and Sundays 11 a.m.-5 p.m.

In addition to the Azle store, Rus-sell Feed has locations in Fort Worth, Benbrook, Crowley, Haltom City, and Saginaw.

Like other stores, the Azle Russell will offer a large selection of pet and livestock feeds and supplies, organics, lawn and garden supplies, fertilizers, tack, hay, and unique gifts.

First Pitch Saturday

on a day that ended up being near-per-fect, Azle baseball and softball squads hit the diamonds for the first time this season. First Pitch Saturday on Feb. 7 featured softball scrimmages – where the lady Hornets ex-celled – as well as baseball practices and an alumni game. It was the initial out-ings for squads that are looking for-ward to memorable seasons, including freshman bunter t.J. Fugate (left) and soft-ball slugger Sarah brown. Photos by Mark K. Campbell

“We anticipate a guarded prognosis” said Dr. Craig Swe-att, DVM, who performed the surgery and is currently treating the Shetland. Sweatt added al-though the horse’s condition is poor; the main concern is nerve damage to his eyelids.

“He has a good appetite, but it’s going to take some time. He is still pretty sore. It’s re-markable how a horse can

“The fact that the horse owner allowed this incident to occur and did nothing to assist the pony is incomprehensible. The Shetland was obviously injured longer than what the owner reported.

“Any animal owner is justi-fied in the use of deadly force when defending and protecting the life of any livestock ani-mal. Dogs have a pack mental-ity. Owners need to understand

the very real fatal possibility if the proper precautions are not taken in containing animals in order to protect them as well as to protect citizens.”

New Garbage Rates February 1, 2015

Beginning February 1, 2015, Community Waste Disposal will be implementing a 1% market adjustment for garbage and recycling services for residential and commercial customers. The City's contract with CWD allows for an annual market adjustment each February 1st based on the percent of increase in the annual Consumer Price Index (CPI) for all DFW Urban Consumers as pub-lished by the U.S. Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics. An insert with the new garbage service rates will be included in your Feb-ruary utility bill and are available on the City’s website at www.cityofazle.org.

The City's contract with CWD provides its residents with a twice a year "X-treme Green Event" that is held as part of the city-wide clean up. These events provide Azle residents with a convenient way to dispose of their household hazard-

ous waste, e-waste, metal, appliances, tires, and on-site document shredding. For 2015, the X-treme Green Event has been scheduled for May 2 and Septem-ber 19. Watch the city website for more information as the event draws near.

high student’s effort to im-press, the film, unintentionally, brings out audience laughter.

Jupiter Ascending is a very mumbly movie – especially the whispering Redmayne. Good luck understanding everything that’s said onscreen, even though the mumbo-jumbo is sadly mostly audible.

The rating

The only reason for the PG-13 – aside from those loud battles and some rare gore – is a woman’s posterior shown as she rises from a bath after she receives a full-body DNA cleansing. It’s a mild PG-13.

Summing up

The Movie Man had higher hopes for Jupiter Ascending. It feels endless, and it’s edited so rapid-fire that it seems to be covering up for content. The February curse strikes again.

Jupiter is lost in space

At the Feb. 5 Rotary Club meeting, four Azle High School seniors earned kudos and cer-tificates acknowledging their exceptional high school careers.

That quartet: Gracie Villa-pando, Jay Townsley, Joseph Gomez, and Desiree Dority.

Villapando is No. 19 among the 373 seniors in the AHS Class of 2015.

She has received the PSAT Hispanic Honorable Mention honor for her high score.

Villapando is the only band member in Azle who can play the alto clarinet, and she advanced to state in the instrument.

A four-year band member where she has been a section leader for two years, she is also a member of the National Honor Society (NHS) and Peer Assis-tance & Leadership (PALS).

She also competes in UIL competitions in Debate and Poultry Judging. Villapando is the Future Farmers of America’s secretary at AHS.

She said her interest scholas-tically is in toxicology and she hopes to attend UCLA.

Townsley is No. 36 in the Class of 2015.

His goal is to become learned in business management at a Christian college and combine those two into a career as a Chris-tian entrepreneur.

He is strong in math and science and won district in calculator.

Townsley was a member of the Marching Green Pride for three years; as a junior, he was the Eu-phonium section leader.

He also belongs to NHS and PALS.

Townsley has been involved in the AHS math and science team all four years.

Gomez hopes to be the first person in his family to attend col-lege, either Texas Tech or Texas A&M. He will likely study civil engineering.

He sits No. 41 among all se-niors in GPA and is especially strong in math and science.

varsity soccer team, Gomez, a two-year captain, is a top scorer and is key to keeping AHS undefeated so far this season.

As a freshman, he had the top score on the end-of-year algebra exam.

Gomez is also a member of the AHS Robotics Team and is head of engineering.

Dority has already been ac-cepted to Texas A&M where she will study in the medical

field and hopefully become a pediatric surgeon.

No. 16 at AHS, Dority is well-involved in student poli-tics. She has served as class presidents – as a freshman and sophomore – and has been part of the student council.

An NHS member for three years, she also shines outside of the classroom; she played varsity tennis for three years where she won multiple hon-ors among the squad.

Ira completed one semester there, then became an infantryman for the United States Army from Oct. 1944 until Sept. 1946. Much of that time was spent in the Phillipines and Japan during the post-World War II occupation in the Pacific. He returned stateside and then enrolled in the spring semester of 1947 at Texas Tech. He graduated with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering in Aug., 1950. While at Texas Tech, Ira met his future bride, Anna Vernelia Moren, and they were married on Aug. 27, 1950 only three days after his graduation.

The next four years they lived in Tahoka and he farmed on the family land, while also working for a consulting engineering firm in Lubbock, Texas. He and Anna started their family there with Gordon being born in 1953. They then moved to Fort Worth, Texas in October, 1954 and he began work at Convair (later becoming General Dynamics) in the Engineering Test Lab. In 1955, Kathryn was born and then Robert followed in 1958. Ira spent almost 35 years at General Dynamics in the Engineering Test Lab before retiring in April, 1989.

He and Anna then spent the next 20 years traveling in their Avion trailer, accumulating friends across the country. They managed to make it to Alaska, Mexico, and Canada and were able to observe the beauty and

the wonders of nature across the continent.

As anyone who knows them can attest, the church was always a part of Ira’s life as he was the son of a Methodist preacher. He and Anna were active in the choir and over the years he held many different lay positions within the church. They have been members at Lake Worth United Methodist Church since 1963, which later became Lighthouse Fellowship

UMC.After Ira and Anna quit

traveling they continued to live in Lakeside for several years. After fifty years of residence on Oakridge Rd. they moved to Baton Rouge, Louisiana Easter weekend 2014 to be near one of their children. They resided at The Haven at Windermere, an assisted living center, until his death.

Lois Eleanor Graham went to be with her Lord on Tuesday, February 3, 2015.

A funeral service will be held at 10:30 a.m. Saturday at New Hope Baptist Church. Interment at Damascus Cemetery in Lindale. Visitation from 6 to 8 p.m. Friday at White’s Azle Funeral Home.

Lois was born the eldest daughter of Jarvis and Thelma Hyde on April 19, 1925 in Twinning, Michigan. Lois grew up and graduated high school in Michigan. A work opportunity and a chance for a new life helped Lois choose to make a move to Dallas, Texas where she worked and saved until she was able to enroll at Baylor University. It was there she met the love of her life, Preston Graham.

Preston passed away in February of 2013. They were married 61 years at the time. Preston and Lois served together as educators around the state of Texas before

coming to Groves, TX where Lois finished her career as a counselor to juniors at Thomas Jefferson High School. Lois retired after 34 years serving as teacher, librarian, and counselor. After retirement Preston and Lois moved to central Texas to be near their children. They bought a lake place on Cedar Creek Lake and a residence in Corsicana, Texas. In 2003 they sold their home and moved to be near their children in the DFW metroplex.

Locating in Azle, they joined New Hope Baptist Church where their son-in-law, Jim Edwards, is pastor. They faithfully served until 2009 when Lois began to have trouble walking. Although her conditioned worsened until the day she died, she was never short of a smile, never lost her sense of humor, and never complained. She was always a kind, gentle soul - truly an earthly reflection of her Savior. Although she was raised in very humble circumstances, she earned a BA degree from Baylor University, 2 Master’s Degrees, and supported her husband and family as he received his PhD in Education. They are together now.

They both died in February, the month of love. Lois was just short of her 90th birthday.

Lois is preceded in death by her husband, Perry Preston Graham; her parents; and sisters, Thelma Kanouse of

Michigan and Marion Fuller of Alabama.

Survivors included brother, Jarvis Roy (“Bud”) Hyde of California; daughter, Gail Edwards and husband, Jim, of Azle; son, Perry Page Graham and wife, Carol, of Euless, Texas; grandchildren, Brenda Bernet and husband, Matt, of Springdale, Arkansa, Christina Jones, and husband, Drew, of Chicago, Illinois, Amanda Bell and husband, Robbie,

of Grapevine, Texas, Shane Graham of Austin, Texas, Julia Saiz and husband, Jeremiah, of Amarillo, Texas, and Melissa Steindl and husband, Josh, of Houston, Texas; Lois also has 5 great-grandchildren and 2 on the way. Lois made friends everywhere she went, and left a legacy of love and Christian witness.

by mark k. campbellTwo more district team titles.Eleven 5-5A individual

champions.Azle’s statewide reputation

as a wrestling power got en-hanced Feb. 7 when AHS won the boys and girls team district crowns at Chisholm Trail High School.

With just seven wrestlers, the Lady Hornets edged Saginaw 123-121.

Five different Azle High girls won district titles:

• Ruby Ariosa – 102 pounds• Hali Davis – 110• Alexis Hanna – 119• Lauren Dale – 138• Denise Perez – 215In a tourney where every

point counted, Hollie Taylor (128) finished as runner-up and Ashleigh De Los Santos (185) took third.

With 65 points, Chisholm Trail was a distant third to Azle and Saginaw in the team race.

The boys squad trounced all others with 266.5 points, Run-ner-up Chisholm Trail was far back at 156.5 points with Sagi-naw’s 102 taking third.

Six Hornets earned 5-5A titles:

• Jimmy Fager – 113• Hayden Buchanan – 138• Colten Clearwater – 152• Cody Donnell – 160• Tyler Stewart – 170• Justin Scarbro – 285Six more Azle wrestlers ad-

vanced to the championship round, finishing second.

That group: Ty Parker (106); Sean Parsons (120); James Conrique (126); Gaven Bu-chanan (145); Seth Bell (182); and Marshall Gilbreath (195).

Skyler Russell took third in the 132-pound class.

Azle Coach Chris Allen said all but one of his charges quali-fied for the regional tourna-ment.

That event is set for Feb. 14 at Frisco Liberty High School; Azle competes in Region II. (Otherwise it would be a long trip out to Canyon.)

Success there sends qualifi-ers to the Holy Grail – the state tourney in Garland Feb. 20-21.

The Lady Hornets finished tied for fifth last year after win-ning state in 2013.

It really didn’t matter that Denton came to the AHS gym and edged the Lady Hornet bas-ketball team 48-46 Feb. 3.

While losing is never pre-ferred, Azle (23-4, 10-3) still clinched second place in 5-5A.

The Lady Hornets got back on the winning track with a fine defensive effort in a 40-28 win in White Settlement over Brewer.

The AHS squad knows it will play the third place team out of District 6-5A but just who that will be has yet to be determined by press time.

Follow the News’ Facebook page or Twitter feed (@The AzleNews) and as soon as ev-erything is locked down, we’ll announce it there: foe, site, time – the date will be either Monday, Feb. 16 or Tuesday, Feb. 17.

Against Denton, the Lady Hornets built a comfortable 8-point first quarter lead. But it got whittled away.

Bi-district foe not yet set

Payton Berger led Azle with 14 points and 9 rebounds. Kay-cie Dunkerley scored 11 points and Valarie Matlock netted 10.

At White Settlement, AHS left the Lady Bears behind with a 13-2 second period advan-tage.

Berger finished with 16 points and Taylor Fulfer got 12.

The season finale brought 5-5A winner Rider to the AHS gym Feb. 10.

The Azle High School soccer teams played a two pair of 5-5A matches and went 3-0-1.

The stellar boys season rolls on. Azle (12-0, 4-0) beat Wich-ita Falls 2-1 on the road then skunked Saginaw Chisholm Trail 4-1.

In the Old High victory, Grant Mendell and Josa Gomez scored with Nathan Mejia earn-ing an assist.

Azle hosted Chisholm Trail Feb. 6 and topped the Rangers thanks to a pair of scores by Pepe Ballesteros and one each by Alex Quevedo and Gomez.

In his first varsity game, freshman Christian Rodriguez got an assist.

So did Gomez (2), Austin Fu-gate, and Ballesteros.

Coach Ben Buentello lauded his defense of keeper Austin McCash and defenders Mason and Grant Mendell, Giovanni Rios and Ben Davis.

That air-tight group has al-lowed jut 3 goals in 12 matches this season, Buentello said.

The girls (2-1-1 in district play) hosted Wichita Falls and tied 0-0.

Coach Jason Beck said, “It was a true test for the Lady

Hornets who flaunted their ability to stay strong and stay together.”

Next, Azle beat Chisholm Trail 1-0 as keeper Madi Parki-son posted another shutout.

The AHS goal came from Kaycee Moore.

Spring unofficially arrived when Jim Bob Nation’s Field of Dreams ball diamonds were covered with AHS athletes Sat-urday, Feb. 7.

The Lady Hornet softball team scrimmaged Decatur and Brock.

Azle jumped on the former right off the bat, scoring numer-ous times in the opening frame.

Coach Tracy Tadlock said scrimmages are all about get-ting ready.

“We are getting into shape, getting our pitchers sharp again, and waking up our bats. We are trying to get into the swing of things and develop a little cohesion,” he said.

Tadlock added that a tougher non-district slate awaits – in-cluding a game Saturday, Feb. 14 at home against state-ranked Ennis.

On the baseball diamond, Coach Anthony Barron held practices and an alumni game.

“I was excited to see that our pitching staff did well,” he said. “We should be very competi-tive this year.”

OPINION

Westerners some-times end up doing things in a big way, even though starting out small. I real-

ly should wait until early August to run this column, because the Bloys Camp Meeting will celebrate 125 years the first week of August 2015. (Oh, well, there's time to plan to go!)

The story begins with Presbyte-rian preacher William D. Bloys. He was born in 1847 in McLemoresville, Tenn. and graduated from Theologi-cal Seminary in Cincinnati, Ohio. He wanted to be a missionary to India, but the powers that decide such things turned him down for health reasons. They sent him instead to Coleman, Tx., but the climate was too wet. A doctor advised him to travel to dry West Texas, so he went to Fort Davis in the Big Bend area, arriving with his family Feb. 22, 1888. The clear air and high altitude improved his health considerably.

A very few ranch families lived in the area of Fort Davis. Alpine and Marfa each were 25 miles away.

Bloys began a Presbyterian church in all of them, but attendance was small because of the long distances. Con-sequently, he began to take his team and buggy and travel to the outlying ranches. He thus began a circuit ride that would take religious services to those for whom it was too far to come into town on Sundays. Called "the Cowboy Preacher," he continued his circuit for 29 years, the last years in a Model T Ford, until his death in 1917.

A couple of years after his arrival and apparently while preaching at the John Z. Means Ranch, Mrs. Means, called Aunt Exa by many, suggested that a large meeting of ranch families and their cowboys should be held out in the open. Bloys and John Means then planned such a meeting and chose a place called Skillman Grove, which had trees under which to camp. (Both Bloys and Means are now bur-ied there.) Forty-six people came in covered wagons and attended that first meeting on October 10, 1890. The camp became a week of preaching, praying, singing and visiting. The ranch families decided to do it every year, but they moved it to August.

Later a Camp Meeting Association was formed to provide structure and organization. In 1902 they acquired 640 acres for $2 per acre, and vari-ous ranchers pledged mon-ey. By com-mon agreement it has always been called the Bloys Camp Meeting (or Bloys Cowboy Camp Meet-ing) because of the hard work

Brother Bloys put in and who man-aged the meeting until his death. The location is in the Davis Mountains in Jeff Davis County, 17 miles from Fort Davis.

One of the ranch wives who came, Sally Reynolds Matthews, described Bloys: "though small in stature he was a giant in ability and forcefulness,

and ruled every detail of this vast en-campment, which ran like clockwork." There are four preaching services each day, and prayer meetings at 5 p.m. The four denominations involved are Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterian and Disciples of Christ. Four preachers participate, one from each denomina-tion. Ranch families have created four big camps where people can eat free, the cost supplied by donations.

In the early days people made a camp fire and cooked meals; one year two men killed nine antelope on the way to the meeting and fed every-one. In those early meetings, attend-ees slept in their wagons. Later they erected tents. Some ranchers traveled three days in their wagons to get to the meeting. A brush arbor was the first place of worship as people sat on the ground or on boxes or benches. An old wooden Arbuckle Coffee box be-came the pulpit, and coal oil lanterns provided light. Now there is electric-ity, a tabernacle, and individuals have built small cabins. Some come in mo-tor homes. Joe Evans, who wrote a book about the camp meeting in 1959 said, "Those old time pioneer people

had a faith in God that was unshake-able. They believed in the Ten Com-mandments and tried to live by them." He called the Bloys Camp Meeting "the greatest thing that has happened to West Texas."

I mentioned to a friend that I was writing about the Bloys Camp Meet-ing, and she put me in touch with Fort Worth resident Kay Roberts, whom she knew attended each year. In fact, Ms. Roberts told me her parents car-ried her there as a child, and as a teen-ager, she met her future husband Ray-mond at the camp meeting. Attending every first week in August still is a family tradition, and she has missed only a few of the camp meetings in nearly eight decades.

"The site looks like a deserted small town when all the cabins are vacant until the first week in August when thousands arrive," she said. "It's like a big family reunion."

Camp Meeting in Big Bend area still going strong

PAGES FROM WESTERN HISTORY

Retired history professor J’Nell Pate of Azle has authored several books, many of which

are on sale in the lobby of the Azle News.

Like a lot of people my age, I have to wear glasses. To clarify, there is nothing wrong with my eyesight. I just de-veloped a “situation” at

about age 40: my arms started getting shorter. It is a strange and paradoxical condition, because it only shows up when I am attempting to read. I still have trouble finding shirts with 36-inch sleeves for my gorilla arms, but if my sleeve length were being measured for reading, rather than wearing, they would have to be measured in feet in-stead of inches.

Fortunately, they make those pro-gressive lens bifocals for conditions like mine. A little correction at the bot-tom and clear glass at the top helps me to bring everything (pretty much) into focus so that I am at least 20/20 with correction.

If you were to ask Mrs. Sweetie, she might tell you that hearing aids should be my next upgrade. The most com-mon word at our house is, “huh?” The most common phrase is, “Please tell me what you just said, because you could not have said what I just heard.” Makes for some interesting conversa-tions.

I don’t ac-tually know how hearing is quantified. There is prob-ably no such thing as 20/20 hearing, but I was intro-duced a few months back to the concept of “20/20 lis-tening” while meeting with a church planter on the campus

of the University of British Colum-bia in Vancouver. He was training his students on how to build relationships with people with the hope of engaging in spiritual conversations.

Here’s the 20/20 listening tech-nique: you talk for 20 seconds and lis-ten for 20 minutes.

There are things that sound easy, but are really hard to do. This one doesn’t even sound easy! I’ve heard that God gave us two ears and one mouth so we would listen twice as much as we speak. That would be 10 minutes of talking to every 20 minutes of listen-

ing. In my training as a life coach, we talk about talking 20 percent of the time and listening 80 percent of the time. That would be 5 minutes of talk-ing and 20 minutes of listening. But 20 seconds to 20 minutes? Holy gag order, Batman!

Here’s the deal: We need to be in-tentional and disciplined as listeners for ___ reasons.

• We are not good at it! Seriously, most of us stop listening within sec-onds. Even if we are not speaking, we are thinking about what we are going to say.

• Even good listeners can get better. But not without doing it on purpose.

• We need to learn to listen beyond the words that are spoken. “Listen” to emotion, to body language, to fears.

• Every person has a “story.” When we really listen to their story, we com-municate that they matter. They may not believe they matter to God until they believe they matter to us.

Can you think of someone who could benefit from your 20/20 listen-ing?

Do you have 20/20 hearing?

LIFE MATTERSGerry Lewis

Azle resident Dr. Gerry Lewis is director of mis-sions for the Harvest Baptist Association, which is headquartered in Decatur. He writes a blog at

www.drgerrylewis.com.

Those late in life screw-ups haunt

Now quick!

What do you think of when you when you hear these names?

Joe Paterno.Bill Cosby.

Brian Williams.After a lifetime – or decades at the

very least – of being posi-tive role models, success-ful, and held in high regard, these guys are now thought of negatively.

Paterno is forever con-nected with the child abuse horror at Penn State. His failure to act erased what had been one of the great college coaching careers.

Bill Cosby, our most be-loved comedian for gen-erations, now might just be horribly evil.

And, it looks like Wil-liams, the anchor for the highest-rated network news broadcast, stretched the truth a few times to em-bellish tales of his in-the-field report-ing stints.

Cosby’s situation is a bummer to millions of us in our 50’s and 60’s. We grew up listening to his records which were all best-sellers.

Back in the day, we knew “Hey! Hey! Hey!” and “Buck Buck No. 1!” long before Jello Pudding Pops or the 1980’s TV show or the million-selling Fatherhood book.

(My favorite left-field gift is Disco Bill, a record of his comedic routines set to really nice jazz/blues.)

Cosby was the funny guy, the clean comedian, who told stories and seemed like such a nice fellow.

If his doping/raping women allega-tions prove to be true, it won’t be Fat Albert or Dr. Huxtable everyone will recall when Cos comes to mind.

ON YOURMARK

Mark K. Campbell

Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and is try-ing hard not to mess up in his old age.

It’ll be how he drugged and abused women, perhaps scores of them.

Back in the day, we would burn the records of those we thought crossed the line, make a public statement; lots of valuable Beatles LPs and singles went up in smoke after John Lennon’s infa-mous statement that the Beatles were

more popular than Jesus.There aren’t many Cos-

by records to burn these days. Oh, you might round up a few, but everything is digital now, and it’s unlike-ly that someone’s going to toss their i-whatever into a bonfire.

If Cosby is guilty, he needs to be locked away forever.

Then there’s Williams.His sins are not nearly as

egregious as Paterno’s or Cosby’s. He just “stretched the truth” a little.

But when that fibbing gets attached to the military – “stolen valor” – it sud-denly becomes magnified. When he said he was in a helicopter that got shot at, others there said that was just not true.

Neither, apparently, was a statement that he watched bodies float down the street as he covered Hurricane Ka-trina.

Williams is the No. 1 newsman, but even he will struggle to regain that most essential ingredient required by TV news viewers: credibility. He just won’t be believable anymore.

Naturally, all this is no big deal to anyone under 40; they don’t watch the evening news anyway.

But for those of us who do, when we hear Brian Williams henceforth, we’ll think “oh, that guy that lied.”

Wednesday, February 11, 2015 Azle News OPINION 13A

Last week, the Senate Finance Committee began groundwork for its budget-writing duties with public

hearings on four consecutive days.

Led by Chairwoman Jane Nelson, R-Grapevine, the 15-member panel heard testi-mony from the offices of the governor, comptroller and at-torney general. Input also was received on state pension funds, courts and payments on state debt. Currently, the bud-get is an estimated $4.5 billion for all of those “general gov-ernment” functions and an in-crease of $200 million has been proposed for 2016-2017.

The panel also received testi-mony on the state government’s fraud and corruption investiga-tion body that for three decades has been a division of the Tra-vis County District Attorney’s Office. Then-Gov. Rick Perry’s veto of the Public Integrity Unit’s funding in 2013 is the subject of ongoing court action.

Nelson said no funding for the unit had yet been placed in the budget.

Meanwhile, in the Sen-ate Transportation Commit-tee, Chairman Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, said voters could decide via constitutional amendment whether to set aside revenue from the state motor vehicle sales tax as a longterm way to fund road and bridge maintenance and construction overseen by the Texas Depart-ment of Transportation. Such revenue could amount to more than $2 billion a year, he said.

Chris Kyle day proclaimedGov. Greg Abbott proclaimed

Feb. 2 as Chris Kyle Day in honor of the former U.S. Navy SEAL credited as the U.S. mili-tary’s most prolific sniper.

Kyle, who retired in 2009 and was living with his fam-ily in Midlothian, was shot and killed along with fellow Texan Chad Littlefield at a shooting range in Erath County on Feb. 2, 2013. Ten days later, Kyle was buried with full honors in

the Texas S t a t e C e m -etery.

Pa t r i c k moves on gun bills

L t . Gov. Dan P a t r i c k , who ear-lier sug-gested he was not aware of e n o u g h support to bring up

Islam Stock Show prayer just more P.C.

It is maddening to see that venerable institution – the Fort Worth Stock Show – fall into the snare of political correct-ness.

Allowing an Iman to offer a prayer before the rodeo is like opening Pandora’s box.

“Playing nice” with Islam never kept anybody from be-ing beheaded once the terrorists took over.

They even murder other Muslims who don’t agree with them.

The benevolent intentions of those who are “inclusive” doesn’t mean anything to the beheaders.

Escaping political correct-ness such as this is one of the reasons my husband and I moved from Fort Worth to the country.

In February 2009, the AHS boys’ basketball team earned Azle’s first district hoops title since 1997 with a 76-38 win over Springtown. John Derr led scorers with 32 points.


5 Years Ago

by carla noah stutsmanFire destroyed a vacant home in the

200 block of Shoreline Drive South in the early morning hours of Monday, Feb. 10.

A neighbor called 911 at 12:12 a.m. to report the fire, and the first truck arrived eight minutes later, Azle Fire Chief Will Scott said.

“The original call said it was un-known if there were any occupants in the house, but we were able to deter-mine later that no one was inside at the time of the fire,” Scott said.

It’s a good thing.When firefighters arrived, the home

was fully involved with heavy fire, so their only option was to set up a defen-sive attack.

It turns out recent occupants of the home had been asked to move out by the home’s owners. Fire Marshal Ken-ny Wilson said those occupants had been gone little more than a week.

Firefighters from Lake Worth FD, Eagle Mountain VFD and LaJunta VFD answered the call to assist with manpower and apparatus.

Azle Fire Department utilized its engine, ambulance, and rescue trucks

as well as their crews. Parker County’s LifeCare Medic 3 stood by to provide for any medical needs, and Parker County Emergency Services District 1 Chief Eric Vinson also answered the call.

Scott, Wilson, and Azle Emergency Services Administrator, Eddy Wood rounded out the command team.

Scott said firefighters battled the fire in 34-degree temperatures with 5-10 mile-per-hour winds and a steady mist falling.

The fire was under control at 1:33 a.m. and firefighters cleared the scene at 4:14 a.m., Scott said.

Wilson and a team of fire investiga-tors continue to look into the cause of the fire, but on Feb. 11, he said it ap-pears to be electrical in nature.

“We see some evidence that some-one had ‘jumped’ the electrical ser-vice at the home, possibly in an effort to steal electricity (by bypassing the meter),” Wilson said. “We’re still in-vestigating, but right now, it looks like that’s going to be the cause.”

Wilson said the home is a total loss and estimated the damages to be about $70,000.

by carla noah stutsmanEven though it’s now been three

weeks since the U.S. Geological So-ciety (USGS) has reported an earth-quake in the Azle/Reno area, re-searchers from Southern Methodist University (SMU) say seismic activity continues here.

Heather DeShon, associate profes-sor of geophysics at SMU and the lead researcher on the Azle area study says a network of sensors has detected nu-merous small quakes – too small to report to USGS.

Still, that seismic activity provides data for the study and can be use-ful to scientists trying to determine whether there’s a link between the re-cent swarm of 30-plus earthquakes in the area and the wastewater injection wells located nearby, DeShon said.

The only catch is that it could be a year or even two before researchers collect enough data, decipher it, and publish the findings.

The SMU research team unveiled a website containing information about the study which can be viewed at http://smu.edu/smunews/earth-quakestudy/study-faqs.asp#top.

The main page text is the summary of the goals for the research, and the FAQs provide answers to individual questions.

The SMU website provides links to the U.S. Geological Survey Earth-quake Education web page and the Texas Earthquakes web page sup-ported by the University of Texas at Austin.

Additionally, SMU has purchased an Incorporated Research Institutions

for Seismology (IRIS) Active Earth Monitor, which is a customizable computer-based earth science display designed for schools, libraries, etc.

The system provides an interactive way to learn about earthquakes.

The SMU research team is design-ing a Reno-Azle-specific module for this system and plans to place the sys-

tem in a public area in the Reno-Azle area as soon it is delivered in March or April.

In the meantime, Commissioners and staff at the Railroad Commis-sion of Texas say they are still in the process of interviewing candidates for the position of in-house seismol-ogist.

Last year, the Azle Independent School District’s (AISD) Board of Trustees voted to allow open enroll-ment – a policy that allows students who live outside the district’s bound-aries to enroll in AISD schools.

It’s a policy that has already paid off in a big way, according to Superinten-dent Dr. Ray Lea.

Students wishing to attend AISD schools must meet strict academic, disciplinary and attendance criteria in order to qualify, and are only accepted on a space-available basis.

Currently, 123 out-of-district trans-fer students attend AISD schools. These students generate an additional $870,000 in state funding for the dis-trict.

This boost in funding has been used to purchase technology throughout the district.

In the very near future, Lea said,

Azle ISD will provide an iPad for ev-ery student in grades pre-kindergarten through 12. The district already pro-vides iPads to all students in grades 7-12. Azle will be one of the first dis-tricts in Texas to reach this one-to-one iPad goal.

The additional state funding from student transfers went a long way to reach this goal, Lea said.

“All these transfer students actu-ally reside in other school attendance zones, yet their parents choose to transport them to Azle ISD because of a reputation of outstanding teach-ers and caring staff members,” Lea said. “Parents have cited their prefer-ence for a school with exemplary aca-demics and technology as reasons for choosing Azle.”

Azle ISD continues to receive re-quests to transfer from parents, Lea added.

by carla noah stutsmanThe cities of Azle and Pelican Bay,

the town of Lakeside and the Azle Independent School District (AISD) are each prepared to hold elections on May 10.

The earliest day to file an appli-cation for a place on the ballot was

Wednesday, Jan. 29. The last day is Friday, Feb. 28.

The final day a candidate may with-draw from the election is March 5.

In cases where each candidate with-in a municipality or school district is running unopposed, the entity has the option to choose to cancel the general

election and declare each candidate elected.

It’s an opportunity that can save a city, town or school district some sizeable change. With less than three weeks remaining in the filing period, it’s beginning to look like the AISD, the city of Azle and the town of Lake-

side could get that opportunity.

City of AzleAll three incumbents signed up ear-

ly to defend their seats on Azle’s city council.

Dr. William Chambers in Place 1, David McClure in Place 2, and Rouel

Rothenberger in Place 5 each applied for a place on the ballot during the first week of the filing period.

According to City Secretary Nor-ma Zenk, no one has yet filed to run against any of the incumbents.

Many races uncontested as filing continues in general elections

Four people were taken to texas health azle with non-life-threatening injuries following a rear-end collision in the 11600 block of Fm 730 north Feb. 4. the crash occurred about 7 p.m. when michael s. Fields, 52, of azle, drove a white 1988 Ford F150 into the rear of a red 2009 saturn outlook driven by misty D. Dale also of azle. Dale, with three juvenile passengers, was stopped with her left turn signal on, waiting to turn left into a parking lot when she was struck from behind. the impact pushed Dale’s vehicle onto the west shoulder of the roadway. Fields’ vehicle veered to the right (east) into the parking lot of a convenience store, where it struck the gas island. Fields was arrested at the scene for driving while intoxicated; however, he was released to medical personnel who transported him to the hospital and a warrant will be issued for his arrest at a later date. Dale and two of the juveniles in her vehicle were treated and released from the hospital, according to the police report. Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman

Happy Valentine’s Day

Here’s another movie that lives up to the belief that bad major movies get dumped into February.

Jupiter Ascending is a mess – a good looking one, but a mess nonetheless.

About the film

With a couple of major stars – Mila Kunis (not too far re-moved from wide acclaim for Black Swan [2011, Movie Man No. 914, a 6]) and currently hot Channing Tatum – not to mention an Oscar nominee this year, Eddie Redmayne (for The Theory of Everything), and with story and direction by Andy and Lana Wachowski, beloved by hipsters for The Matrix tril-ogy, Jupiter Ascending arrived with a strong pedigree.

However, that arrival was initially planned for last sum-mer. Suddenly, it got moved; that’s a bad sign to begin with then it got worse when the movie ended up in the cinemat-ic graveyard of February.

Next, poor advanced notices came trickling in, that Jupiter Ascending was not so hot.

That has proven to be true.A film by the Wachowskis is

rare, and it’s guaranteed to be offbeat. In the mainstream, they started out with a bang with The Matrix (1999, MM #280, 7)

Anticipation was huge for the Matrix follow-up, The Matrix Reloaded (2003, MM #508, 7). The Movie Man liked it as much as the original; at one time, Reloaded, was the biggest moneymaking R-rated movie of all-time (breaking the record of a film that had held the top spot for 19 years, Beverly Hills Cop [1984]). Reloaded was just passed by American Sniper (MM #1,122, 8). The current record holder – The Passion of the Christ (2004, MM #549, 8) – should keep its place at No. 1, making Reloaded No. 3 today.

The Wachowskis followed up Reloaded with the final Ma-trix movie, Revolutions (2003, MM #533, 4). It was surpris-ingly poor.

The duo’s next film was their best, V for Vendetta (2006, MM #657, 8). Then came their least favorite release, especially crit-ically, Speed Racer (2008, MM #772, 6 – some liked it far less than the Movie Man did).

Next, four years later the controversial Cloud Atlas (2012, MM #1,006, 7) arrived; the Movie Man loved its queer-ness, but it was too weird for most folks.

Jupiter Ascending is the Wa-chowskis’ worst movie. Like its predecessors, it’s not afraid to be out-there – but this time it doesn’t work.

The plot (the Movie Man will try)

Jupiter Jones (Kunis) is the owner of the earth but does not know it. She’s actually a house-keeper with her struggling Rus-sian family, scrubbing toilets.

Some creepy shape-shifters called “Keepers” are sent to kidnap her for Balem (Red-mayne), a businessman/ruler from deep in the universe. He also owns the earth, a ge-neric planet among millions in the galaxy where inhabit-ants are being raised for their DNA which, when whipped up, keeps Balem and others – including his brother Titus (Douglas Booth) and sister Ka-lique (Tuppence Middleton) –

eternally young.Before the Keepers can col-

lect Kunis, she is saved by Caine (Tatum, sent by Middle-ton) who is a genetic mess-up with some canine tendencies. Tatum and Kunis spend some more time escaping the Keep-ers (and other evildoers) before Kunis ends up with Middleton then, eventually, alone with Booth. He seems nice but, he actually wants to secure brother Redmayne’s claim to our planet by marrying Kunis.

Eventually, after Tatum saves the day about 100 times, he crashes through the planet Ju-piter’s famous giant red cloud – an event that begins destroy-ing the vertical city there. Then there are lots of fights and Ta-

tum saves Kunis one more time.

What worksWithout question, Jupiter

Ascending looks terrific. While the 3-D could’ve been better (it’s not worth the up charge), there is a ton of stuff jammed on the screen (but see “What doesn’t work”). While at times it’s overwhelming, there are some impressive, beautifully

futuristic scenes.Tatum manages to come out

of this movie OK which is a mi-nor miracle. Booth also plays his two-faced spoiled pretty boy well.

The film has fun with tech-nology – where old-time add-ing machines have places next to spaceships and boots that al-low people to fly.

Best scene

A long, very loud scene that assaults multiple senses for what seems like an eternity fi-nally ends when a spaceship shoots through a wormhole. That’s followed by complete silence – a welcomed respite from the cacophony that end-lessly battered the audience constantly before.

What doesn’t work

Kunis is pretty bad. She just stares doe-eyed at Tatum then gets caught while falling and flailing from great heights of-ten.

The music here is horrible.

It’s so ridiculous and ill-fitting that it’s impossible not to no-tice. It sounds like bad B-movie orchestration cranked up to 11.

Too often, there’s just too much to see. Especially when the battles begin. Things get all spark-y then crash together. A lot. It looks like they jammed everything they could think of on the screen. It’s too much.

The plot is unnecessarily con-voluted. (It reeks a bit of Matrix Revolutions.) With some awful pseudo-intellectual mumbo jumbo sounding like a junior

Delayed science-fiction soap opera is lost in space

Debbie Parker, a sixth grade english language arts teacher at Spring-town intermediate School

Paula Clark, a Spanish teacher at Poolville High School

Azle, Springtown, Poolville instructors lauded by Weatherford Collegeconsidered among his peers as a “master teacher.”

Each school district in the re-gion was given the opportunity to select an “exemplary teach-er” and submit nomination en-tailing the traits that make the teacher worthy of the award.

Azle ISDIn her nomination letter,

Richardson is described as a teacher who cons i s t en t ly provides her students with the opportu-nity to be suc-cessful.

“She is able to integrate pencil and pa-per work as well as tech-nology into her classroom, keeping stu-dents engaged while learning difficult math concepts,” the n o m i n a t i o n stated. “Mrs.

Richardson is our campus Math and Science Team sponsor, and she spends many of her week-ends with students at competi-tion.

“She is also one of the faculty

members who is always willing to help during events held on campus and doesn’t mind put-ting herself out there perform-ing in humorous skits or play-ing volleyball with students to help build school spirit.”

Richardson said she was humbled to receive the award.

“With so many outstanding teachers in Azle, I feel very grateful to be given this hon-or,” she said. “I don’t feel like I deserve the Jack Harvey Fel-lowship Award for Exemplary Teachers, but I am inspired by it to become a better teacher and mentor.

“Teaching, to me, is about caring for your students, help-ing them to set and achieve goals, inspiring them to keep learning beyond the classroom, and believing that each student can make a difference in our community.”

Springtown ISDParker’s passion for her stu-

dents – whether they are gifted or if they struggle – is the center point of her nomination letter.

“Now in her 20th year of teaching, a very large number of students would attest their reading abilities were sig-nificantly improved due to the wonderful teaching and en-couragement of Mrs. Parker,”

the nomination stated. “She rejoices at seeing all students succeed. Springtown ISD and Springtown Intermediate School, in particular, is fortu-nate to have been the benefac-tor of her exemplary teaching.

“She has most definitely gained the respect and admiration of many teachers and students.”

Like Richardson, Parker showed humility at receiving the award.

“I was very surprised and ex-tremely honored to receive this outstanding award,” she said. “I work with so many wonder-

ful teachers at my campus as well as within the district.

“I love my students and look forward to each day and having the opportunity to make a dif-ference in their lives. Teaching is about patience, caring, and encouraging students to meet their individual potential.

“These children are our fu-ture and I look forward to each and ev-ery day with them to help foster their love for learn-ing.”

Poolville ISDC l a r k ’ s

n o m i n a t i o n letter tells of a dedicated teacher will-ing to go the extra mile for her students.

“When a teacher has the ability to be sensitive to individual stu-dents’ needs and learning styles, it opens up the opportunity for students to excel in the classroom and in their personal endeavors,” the nomination stated. “Reflecting

on the definition of ‘teacher’ in the context of a school setting causes several different words to come to mind including: scholar, knowledge, compas-sion, patience, caring, advo-cate, sensitive, mentor, humor-ous, honest, and consistent.

“Ms. Clark is exemplary because she portrays all the

above-men-tioned char-ac t e r i s t i c s . She is to be commended for all of her hard work and dedica-tion to the students of P o o l v i l l e H i g h School.”

S t u d e n t success is a priority for all of these teach-ers, and it is evident they do everything in their power to make sure success is achieved.

“A teacher affects eternity; he can never tell where his in-fluence stops.”

Expect Valentine’s Day to be a busy night for dining out and plan ahead.

Chocolates and flowers may be staples of Valentine’s Day, but many couples take it one step further and dine out on February 14.

According to the Retail Ad-vertising and Marketing As-sociation’s Valentine’s Day Consumer Intentions and Ac-tions Survey, 34.6 percent of respondents indicated that din-ing out would be part of their Valentine’s Day agenda.

A romantic dinner is an ideal capper for a day geared around love and affection. But Valen-tine’s Day is a busy night for many restaurants, so it pays to heed the following advice to ensure this special night is memorable for all the right rea-sons.

• Make reservations well in advance. Dining out is espe-cially popular on Valentine’s Day, so call several weeks in advance to secure your spot. Also, do not underestimate the draw of all types of restaurants

on Valentine’s Day. People who were not able to get a table at their first choices may trickle into chain restaurants or small-er establishments in search of an easy meal. If you think your lesser-known haunt will not be packed, think again. Always play it safe by making a reser-vation early.

• Expect some crowding. Restaurants tend to add ex-tra tables on Valentine’s Day, when they expect an influx of customers. Dining rooms may be more packed than usual, and you may not have a choice of where you will be seated. Even a reservation does not guaran-tee you won’t have to wait for a table. Be patient upon arriving at the restaurant, and consider wait time when factoring in childcare.

• Be flexible with the menu. Price-fixed menus are com-monplace on nights when there will be a large turnover of customers in a short amount

of time. These menus allow restaurants to stock up on the necessary ingredients and cook en masse. Diners may find that price-fixed menus offer a lim-ited selection, and their favor-ite dishes may not be available. But knowing this in advance can reduce feelings of disap-pointment. Rest assured there should be several options that appeal to different palates.

• Be patient with servers. Valentine’s Day is a busy night for staff at the restaurant, par-ticularly servers who must be the liaison between the kitchen staff and diners. The sheer vol-ume of customers can test the skills of even the most veteran servers. Many Valentine’s Day diners do not eat out regularly and will need extra guidance. Servers may be called on to snap photos of couples with cell phones or linger at certain tables. Use idle time at your table to engage in romantic conversation and plan the rest

of the evening.• Consider your budget. Din-

ers can expect to pay a premium for dining out on Valentine’s Day. Select a lower-priced res-taurant if your budget is on the smaller side.

• Be on time. Being respect-ful of your reservation will not only benefit you, but also it is a courtesy to fellow diners who will be sitting at your table later in the evening. While you may want to linger over dessert, try not to linger too long.

• Promptly store leftovers. If you take a doggie bag home from dinner, stash it in the re-frigerator as soon as possible to prevent foodborne illnesses. If you will be going out danc-ing or to a movie after dinner, it may be best to skip the doggie bag altogether.

Valentine’s Day is a busy night for dining out. Patience, courtesy and flexibility are traits that can keep your eve-ning moving along smoothly.

Make the most of your night out this Valentine’s Day

The Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) will no longer require all 10 fingerprints of an individual applying for a Texas driver’s license or identification card.

The change in policy took effect Monday, Feb. 9.

According to a statement released by DPS Fri-day, Feb. 6, the change is in direct response to concerns and questions raised by a number of Texas legislators regarding the statutory author-ity of DPS to collect all 10 fingerprints in order to obtain a driver’s license or identification card.

The department will continue to comply with Texas Transportation Code, Section 521.059

(printed below for reference) passed by the Texas Legislature in 2005, which requires the depart-ment to collect “an applicant’s thumbprints or fingerprints.” The department will comply with any further direction or legislative action taken by the Texas Legislature regarding this matter.

The Azle News/Springtown Epigraph contacted a media spokesperson at DPS who clarified the new policy will be to collect both the right and left index fingerprints of each applicant.

Section 521.059. IMAGE VERIFICATION SYSTEM. (a) The department shall establish an image verification system based on the follow-ing identifiers collected by the department:

(1) an applicant’s facial image; and(2) an applicant’s thumbprints or fingerprints.(b) The department shall authenticate the fa-

cial image and thumbprints or fingerprints pro-vided by an applicant for a personal identifica-tion certificate, driver’s license, or commercial driver’s license or permit using image compari-son technology to ensure that the applicant:

(1) is issued only one original license, permit, or certificate;

(2) does not fraudulently obtain a duplicate li-cense, permit, or certificate; and

(3) does not commit other fraud in connection with the application for a license, permit, or cer-

tificate.(c) The department shall use the image verifi-

cation system established under this section only to the extent allowed by Chapter 730, Transpor-tation Code, to aid other law enforcement agen-cies in:

(1) establishing the identity of a victim of a disaster or crime that a local law enforcement agency is unable to establish; or

(2) conducting an investigation of criminal conduct.

(d) Expired.Added by Acts 2005, 79th Leg., Ch. 1108

(H.B. 2337), Sec. 4, eff. September 1, 2005.

1 Year AgoA U.S. Geological Survey report said most of the

20-plus reported earthquakes were centered near Reno and Briar.

Wednesday, December 31, 2014

by carla noah stutsmanAn Azle man was shot and killed

Sunday evening, Dec. 21 during an altercation between two men.

Former Azle Area Chamber of Commerce President Brad Bettis was shot several times.

Azle police were dispatched to a disturbance at 620 South Stewart Street at 5:54 p.m.

According to Interim Police Chief Darrell West, the initial 911 call re-ported a verbal altercation between Benny Aulvry Rogers and Bettis.

That disturbance escalated, West

said, to a point where Rogers pro-duced a handgun and shot Bettis multiple times.

Bettis, 40 and an Azle native, was pronounced dead at the scene.

Due to multiple gunshot wounds, his death has been ruled a homicide by the Tarrant County Medical Ex-aminer’s Office.

Rogers, 47, the owner of the prop-erty where the incident occurred, surrendered to Azle police volun-tarily, according to West, and was taken into custody without incident.

He was escorted to the Azle Po-

lice Department for questioning at the time of the incident and has been fully cooperative with law enforce-ment officials, West said.

“There have been no formal charges filed at this time,” West said. “Bettis and Rogers may have known each other and the argument that took place was do-mestic in nature.”

The investigation is still ongoing and will be presented to the Parker County Grand Jury upon its completion, West added.

In addition to Azle PD detectives and officers, Tarrant Regional Water District

Lake Patrol officers, Azle Fire Marshal Kenny Wilson, and the Texas Rangers assisted in the investigation at the scene.

Bettis grew up in Azle and graduated from AHS in 1993.

After college, he oversaw operations at First Independent Insurance, an af-filiate of First Bank and later, Pinnacle Bank, from 2000 to 2010.

Bettis was active in the community as well as in the rodeo community.

He is the father of two young chil-dren.

If you’re planning to celebrate the New Year with a little bubbly – or any other alcoholic beverage – make sure you have a plan to get home safely.

The Texas Department of Transpor-tation reminds motorists that law en-forcement will be out in force on New Year’s Eve and New Year’s Day in an effort to reduce crashes and discour-age drunk driving.

And that means around here, too.TxDOT’s annual Holiday Impaired

Driving Campaign began Dec. 1 and runs through New Year’s Day to pro-mote the importance of planning for a sober ride.

The campaign coincides with an increase in law enforcement patrols aimed at reducing the number of im-paired driving crashes in Texas during the holiday season.

Numerous law enforcement agen-cies throughout the state will also im-plement no-refusal initiatives.

Drivers arrested for DWI can face jail time and up to $17,000 in court costs and legal fees.

The legal limit for intoxication in Texas is .08 blood or breath alcohol concentration.

by mark k. campbellThe earthquakes that rattled the

Azle area in late 2013 hung around in 2014 – and brought with it a swarm of activists.

Fires, criminals, retiring leadership, and HGTV were just a few of the hap-penings in the first half of 2014.

JanuaryThe main topic around town as the

New Year arrived was earthquakes.On Jan. 2, the Texas Railroad Com-

mission (RRC) sent representatives to address local quake concerns. A panel comprised of Austinites and local governmental representation heard plenty from the raucous crowd – despite being told there would be no “Q & A.”

On Jan. 13, Azle High School was the site of a near media-frenzy as Me-troplex news outlets descended upon the auditorium to hear activists whip some residents into a frenzy.

Complete with a guy wearing a gas mask and holding a sign that said “Ban Fracking Now!!!,” local concerned folks heard groups urging people to

sign up for a bus ride to Austin to get at-tention for the quakes.

Sure enough, people – including an Elvis impersonator and some preteens – later spoke with RRC representatives in Austin about their tremor concerns.

Eventually, the earthquakes stopped.On Jan. 23, a man with a gun “hear-

ing voices” on West Columbia Drive kept Azle police at bay. With help from the Parker County Special Operations Group, Shaylor Alan Lambert was even-tually forcefully removed from the house and taken into custody.

The Bank of Azle foiled a forgery when teller Marlisa Godsey discovered suspicious activity – from Florida – on a customer’s account.

FebruaryThe University Interscholastic

League’s biennial realignment put Azle in the same district with two Wichita Falls schools, three from Saginaw, Brew-er, and Denton, resuming the arch rivalry with Boswell, the Take the Lake football game.

tors around town.On Feb. 14, wrestler Jesse Grubbs became

Azle High School’s first-ever two-time state champion when she repeated her 2013 gold medal effort in Garland.

After Joe Floyd Coffee was arrested for caus-ing a disturbance at a convenience store, he be-gan confessing to several other crimes – includ-ing an aggravated robbery on Valentine’s Day, a car theft and even an arson.

Pelican Bay police solved eight burglaries in the ‘Bay and Reno, arresting five individuals.

After accepting de-annexation petitions in January, the Reno City Council rejected them all in February.

The Red Solo Cup Barbecue Bash raised around $50,000 for the Azle Education Founda-tion.

MarchWith no one filing against incumbents, both

Azle and Lakeside cancelled scheduled May elections. That saved Azle $10,000 and Lake-side $4,000.

The Azle Drumline competed in Houston March 8 and won the regional competition, edg-ing Houston Cy-Fair by one-half point.

BY NATALIE GENTRYAs the New Year and the new se-

mester begin, Springtown businesses

and residents are warned to be cau-

tious of companies claiming to be

working with the district's athletic de-

partment on fundraisers.The Springtown Independent

School District (SISD) has previ-

ously received information from

several Springtown businesses

about companies such as “Pro-

motional Specialties” and “Spirit

Stop” saying they are securing busi-

ness advertisements as a fundraiser

for the district.

There is no such agreement in

place.The companies have specifical-

ly mentioned sponsorship ads to

be displayed on SISD t-shirts that

will be thrown to crowds at athletic

events.The district doesn’t have any agree-

ment or arrangement with these com-

panies and has not requested these

services.The only company that has the au-

thority to promote the district is Five

Star Sports.They received approval to solicit

sponsors for the fall and spring sports

schedule posters.According to the district, any other

company claiming such a privilege

should be reported.If in doubt about a sponsorship re-

quest contact the SISD at 817-220-

1700 or the Springtown Chamber of

Commerce at 817-220-7872.

Caution urged regarding school fundraising fraud

As usual, plenty went on in Springtown and the surround-

ing area last year.Here are the highlights:JanuaryA four-year-old girl used her mother's cell phone to call for

help after her mother passed out behind the wheel of a pickup

on the side of the road in the 300 block of Young Road Jan.

13. The mother was arrested; drug paraphernalia was found

in the vehicle.On Jan. 15, the remodel of Brookshire's, Springtown's lone

grocery store, was complete and the public jammed the store

for specials.After eight seasons coaching the football Porcupines,

Coach Brad Turner stepped down. He remained as athletic

director for a few months more.Emily Mitchell became the first Springtown High School

female to make All-State Choir.In All-State Band competition, SHS' Jacob Matthews, a

freshman, was chosen for the Association of Texas Small

School Bands.High school principal Chris Pennington announced he was

resigning July 1, following the completion of the 2013-14

school year.A Springtown woman, Rachelle Deann Martin, was ar-

rested for a Christmas Day aggravated robbery off Flat Rock

Road in Azle.Melissa Westberry, a kindergarten teacher at Goshen Creek

Elementary, was one of 32 instructors honored at a Jack Har-

vey Academy of Exemplary Teachers event at Weatherford

College Jan. 24. Poolville's Teri Simpson was also recog-

nized.

FebruaryThe annual UIL realignment was bizarre. Springtown –

now part of 4A with the creation of a higher top classification,

6A – was paired with different schools in various sports. Plus,

in some sports like football, the Porcupines became part of

Region II, a rarity for a school west of the Metroplex.
