Photographer Natalie Gentry spied this pure white squirrel – presumably an albino – in Reno chowing down on its winter food cache and scurrying along a field Jan. 16. “I knew I had to shoot it (with my camera that is),” she said. On Jan. 21, she finally got the chance, although the wily white wonder did not like her getting out of her vehicle; the critter quickly scampered off. Photos by Natalie Gentry

Uptown funk by carla noah stutsman Utter the words “eminent domain” and just watch the hair stand up on the necks of everyone within earshot. Stories of sweet elderly people fighting to keep a home they’ve lived in for decades from becoming a super sports stadium instantly come to mind. But the fact is, eminent domain has its place to protect the good of the community. Witness Main Street, Azle, Texas. Almost two years ago, the owners of at least two businesses in the 100 block of West Main Street – Red’s Burger House and Hair Today – became unwilling participants in an unusually stinky battle. The city long ago mandated that property owners – both residential and commercial – within 100 feet of an available city sewer line must hook into that line at any time their existing septic system had to be repaired or replaced. The cost to hook up, however, is to be borne by the property owner.

So when the aging septic system at Hair Today failed, the city of Azle required the business to hook into the city’s sewer system. That’s when things began to get really...well…messy. First, after adding a sewer tap for Red’s Burger House, city staff discovered that an easement allowing access to the line – which staff assumed existed – was never filed of record years ago and therefore did not exist. Complicating the situation further, one owner of property containing the main sewer line in question – located behind a row of business in the 100 block of West Main Street – refused to allow city employees access to his property to accomplish sewer line repairs or extensions. That same property owner even installed orange construction fencing at the property lines, limiting the ability of the owners of Red’s and Hair Today to maintain equipment like grease traps and air conditioning systems.

City uses eminent domain for sewer easements “The city has the right to maintain the sewer line within an easement, but not outside an easement,” City Manager Craig Lemin told the city council on Aug. 27, 2013. “That means technically, the city was out-of-bounds when it hooked Red’s Burger House up to the existing sewer line.” The council voted unanimously that night to instruct city staff to explore all possibilities for securing an easement for the existing sewer. Since that time, with direction from its legal counsel, the city has gone through a strict legal process to try to obtain the necessary easement(s). Several attempts were made to “work it out” with the property owners involved. But all failed. According to city documents, staff sent offer letters – including a copy of the Landowner’s Bill of Rights, the city’s appraisals of the properties, and other documents required by law – to PLEASE SEE EMINENT PAGE 4A.

Interim Azle Police Chief Darrell D. West was honored for 25 years of service to the city of Azle during the Jan. 20 city council meeting.

by Sue Turnipseed The spring-like weather is easy to get used to and makes for more seniors coming to the B J Clark Community Center for fun, fellowship and good food. The Azle Senior Center opens at 9 a.m. Monday through Friday. On Thursday, Cpl. Poe and Officer Saint of the Azle Police Department shared some information to help avoid telephone fraud. Seniors are often targets for fraud and need to be aware of what to do. The officers shared some of the ways they have of appealing to victims and what to do when they suspect they have been targeted as victims. Last Friday was produce day and onions, bread, bananas, and other food items were distributed to those who qualified. Phyllis Nelson, Clinical Dietitian for Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle, presented information on sources of

phytochemicals and the importance of having them in diets. On Friday, Marian Ross with the County Extension Department presented a program on Medicare fraud. There is much money lost to fraud and there are some ways that consumers can help to keep from being a part of the problem. She discussed some of the problems and distributed material for additional information. Bridge players meet on Friday at 9 a.m. for two hours of the card game and they want others to enjoy the game – so come and join them. Every Thursday after lunch you can hear laughter as the chicken foot players have fun. Thanks to the many volunteers who help others have fun while having fun themselves. Many volunteer and stick around to help clean up the area before going home.

Reading rev up

Near Head-On Crash

Azle ISD plans book festival for 2nd, 5th graders in Feb.

Minor injuries were reported as a result of this near-head-on collision at the intersection of FM 730 South and Veal Station Road Jan. 26. Among those rendering aid was La Junta firefighter Matt Thomas (right). Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman

by carla noah stutsman It’s all the buzz around Azle – Book Buzz, that is. It’s the Hangin’ With the Hornets Book Buzz, and it’s one more in a string of innovative learning tools brought to students within the Azle Independent School District. The reading festival will be held from 9-11 a.m. Saturday, Feb. 21 in the Azle High School Indoor Practice Facility. In its inaugural year, the event invites every second and fifth grade student in the Azle ISD – about 700 kids – to attend and catch some reading excitement. That’s just one facet of the festival. Another 200-plus students – members of the Azle High School Marching Green Pride, Winterguard, drama department, drumline, football and basketball teams, cheerleaders, and even Buzzy – will volunteer to read with the younger students and cheer them on to greater success through reading, according to district officials. Thanks to Ernie Horne, executive director

of the Score A Goal in the Classroom school incentive program, the AISD event will receive help from Half Price Books, Scholastic Books, and other organizations. Planners for the event hope to receive enough donated books to give one to each student who participates. The AHS volunteers – who tend to be viewed by youngsters as mentors and role models – will cheer the younger students into the indoor practice facility and throughout the event. Most importantly, though, they will individually sit down with groups of second and/ or fifth graders to read. Parents are encouraged to arrive with their student by 8:30 a.m. to sign in and may stay to watch or pick their child up at 11 a.m. Monitors will be stationed in front of the building to guide students to the correct spot, and administrators and teachers from each school will be present. Entertainment and a light snack will be provided, as well.

When did we get frightened of medical science?

ometimes Facebook is so dumb. Well, some of the people on it, too, I guess. That’s the only way to explain any credence given to the anti-vaccine rage. Thanks to generations of shots courtesy of geniuses working in medical science, millions of Americans – and millions more worldwide – have been spared the agony of disease because of childhood vaccinations. But you can find a group with a massive online presence who swear that vaccinations are full of deadly toxins

and can cause horrible reactions, autism, and even death. Of course, as with any medical intervention, a tiny, miniscule percentage of patients will have problems. But that chance is microscopic. Meanwhile, through recent generations, diseases – terrible ailments that maimed and killed – have been thwarted. The recent measles outbreak in Disneyland stunned many. Even some folks vaccinated for measles got the ON YOUR disease in California. It’s explainable MARK in that the measles vaccination sometimes doesn’t take 100 percent in a Mark K. Campbell

small percentage of people. Even if you get the measles despite being vaccinated, the chances of you giving the highly contagious virus to someone else is much lower. (There’s a great article here: w w. w i r e d .

com/2015/01/vaccinated-people-getmeasles-disneyland-blame-unvaccinated.) A disgraced doctor started the measles/autism scare; the publisher of the article, Lancet, pulled it and he may no longer practice medicine in his home country. Then a Playboy playmate came out in support of the doctor’s discounted findings. And once everything hit the Internet and Facebook, the untruths began to spread like, well, measles. Of course, drug companies are to blame for the situation. Or the federal government in a massive cover-up

conspiracy. Or both, in cahoots. The same “anti-vaxxers” who won’t take a shot believe they are just fine by washing their hands a lot. Or using “essential oils.” Or by cutting an onion in half and duct taping it to the bottom of your foot. As a Rotarian who has seen polio almost eradicated from the earth, seeing this anti-vaccination mentality is beyond frustrating. Let’s end this infection of ignorance. Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and saw that his daughters got their shots. They went major disease-free through their childhoods.

Letter to the Editor Petition notes concerns after atheists stop AISD program As citizens and taxpayers in the city of Azle and the Azle ISD, we have put together a petition to our elected officials and employees so that you understand we respect diversity, we respect our law enforcement, our teachers and staff, and we support all your efforts. We would also like for you to honor our wishes for our community and the wishes of your constituents We want you to NEVER again cave in to the demands of an anarchist or-

ganization or any outside influence to our community. We also ask that our schools teach NO religion, politics, or materials of a sexual nature of any kind. Should a child choose to bow their head in prayer or read or possess a religious book of any type, you should allow them that right but push nothing. Our laws, our morals, our conscience, and our Constitution alone will guide our children – and help to set their moral compass. Nothing else will be acceptable! Once again, we mean no disrespect; we are wholly satisfied with all your performances and only wish to em-

power you with the knowledge that we will not cave in to anarchy. And we do expect you to honor our wishes. If you need anything that it takes to honor this, get it – be it a new attorney or any employee. Petition signers Robert Hague Azle

Eastern Indian chief led battle that killed more U.S. soldiers than Custer's Last Stand

ver heard the expression, “The more you know, the more you find out what you don't know”? Western historian that I think I am, I assumed that the Battle of the Little Big Horn on June 25, 1876 was the worst defeat of whites from Indians in U.S. history. Recently I learned differently. When Custer led five companies of the 7th Cavalry against Sioux and Cheyenne, 266 men, including Custer, died. He had separated the companies from the rest of the command. Not quite a century earlier a chief of the Miami tribe on Nov. 4, 1791 led his warriors in a fight called the Battle of the Wabash in which 632 Americans died and 258 were wounded. It was “the single most costly defeat for U.S. forces in the history of Indian warfare.” The Battle of the Wabash took place in the old Northwest Territory (the Ohio River country which was the northwest part of the U.S. when the western boundary stretched only to the Mississippi River).

THE

A confederacy of four tribes – the Miamis, Shawnees, Potawatomis and Delawares – together totaled over 1,000 warriors. George Washington was president and made the American General Arthur St. Clair resign after his loss to the Indians. Earlier, when Britain lost the American Revolution and gave the new U.S. all the land west of the Appalachian Mountains to the Mississippi River, the Indians in the area were not a party to the agreement. Consequently, they fought back, thus the Battle of the Wabash and others. The most prominent leader of the Indian Confederacy who has been given credit for success in the battle was Mish'-i-kin-ak'-wa. Its translation into English from the Miami-Illinois language is a type of terrapin, probably the Midland Painted Turtle. Thus, the leader has gone down in history as Little Turtle and was the war chief of the Miami people at the time. Historians guess that he was born either in 1747 or 1752 in an area 20 miles northeast of what is now Fort

Wayne, Indiana. The resistance of the tribes at this time became known as Little Turtle's War. Six feet tall, Little Turtle, an orator who inspired his followers, gencounPAGES FROM erally seled moderaWESTERN tion. During the American HISTORY Revolution the J’Nell L. Pate Miami tribe had assisted the British. Even after the war ended, the British maintained some of their western forts, so the Miami and other tribes believed that they would support them in keeping their land. They tried, but “the demand for land was too great to stop illegal settlers.” Little Turtle rose to power during those years in leading resistance to the encroachment of white settlers.

In 1790 he was one of the chiefs who helped defend tribal villages when General Josiah Harmar led 1,500 troops into the area and burned Native American homes. A year later when Gen. St. Clair arrived, Little Turtle and his 1,000 Indians defeated the Americans. In 1794 Major General “Mad Anthony” Wayne arrived at the site of St. Clair's defeat and built Fort Recovery. In August 1794 in the Battle of Fallen Timbers, the U.S. government defeated the Indians, including Little Turtle's band. The 1795 Treaty of Greenville ended the war among Indians in the Northwest and opened it to settlement. Little Turtle signed the treaty. Realizing that the Indians could never overcome the Americans, Little Turtle began to preach peace to his people. He later refused to join with Tecumseh in his new war with the Americans. In 1796 Little Turtle met with George Washington who gave him a ceremonial sword. He later met Presidents John Adams and Thomas Jefferson. The latter con-

vinced Little Turtle to teach his people agriculture. The government gave him money for retirement, and the governor of the Indiana Territory General William Henry Harrison (later president) built him a house. Little Turtle died in 1812 at the age of 65 at the home of his brother-in-law, William Wells, a soldier. He received a military-type funeral at Fort Wayne. A century later, during a construction excavation, his grave was accidently opened. His sword and other items found there were transferred to the Allen County-Fort Wayne Historical Society, and he was reburied. The site became a public park in 1959, and numerous places in the area bear his name. My previous lack of knowledge of the Eastern tribes is because Texas and Great Plains Indians have always been my research interest. There is so much exciting history to learn!

Gov. Abbott, Lt. Gov. Patrick take office in Austin

anuary 20 was inauguration day for Gov. Greg Abbott, successor to Rick Perry, who completed a recordsetting 14 years as governor. Abbott is the 48th governor of Texas. Abbott expressed gratitude to the people who elected him and promised to “promote policies that limit the growth of government, not the size of your dreams.” “Texas truly is the land of opportunity, the place where anyone can achieve anything,” Abbott said. “But as great as Texas is there’s more we must do: More for the families stuck in traffic. More for parched towns thirsty for water. More for parents who fear their child is falling behind in school. More for employers searching for skilled workers. More for our veterans who return broken from battle.” Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, successor to David Dewhurst who served at the post for 12 years, also addressed the crowd at the inauguration. “In my cam-

paign,” Patrick said, “I pledged to secure the border, to lower property and business taxes, prioritize, reform and improve public education, build our infrastructure and protect life, family and the Second Amendment. That’s what I pledged to do as a candidate and that’s what I will do as lieutenant governor.” Patrick is the state's 42nd lieutenant governor. Patrick names committees On Jan. 21, the Texas Senate voted to cut the number of standing committees from 18 to 14 and Lt. Gov. Patrick, as president of the Senate, named committee chairs and members of each committee. Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Grapevine, was named chair of the body’s 15-member Committee on Finance and will manage the writing of a state budget to be melded with a version originating in the Texas House. Nelson served as chair of the Committee on Health and Human Services for several legislative sessions. Earlier this month, Texas Comp-

troller Glenn Hegar said some $113 billion is available for generalpurpose spending in the STATE state’s 2 0 1 6 CAPITAL fisHIGHLIGHTS 2017 cal bienFor Ed Sterling nium. comparison, Texas Comptroller Susan Combs’ revenue estimate for the current 2014-2015 biennium was $92.6 billion. Other standing committee chairmanships assigned by the lieutenant governor include: Sen. Kelly Hancock, R-North Richland Hills, Committee on Administration; Sen. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, Agriculture, Water and Rural Affairs; Sen. Kevin Eltife, R-Tyler, Business and Commerce; Sen. John

Whitmire, D-Houston, Criminal Justice; Sen. Larry Taylor, R-Galveston, Education; and Sen. Charles Schwertner, RGeorgetown, Health and Human Services. Also, Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, Higher Education; Sen. Eddie Lucio Jr., DBrownsville, Intergovernmental Relations; Sen. Troy Fraser, R-Horseshoe Bay, Natural Resources and Economic Development; Sen. Brian Birdwell, R-Granbury, Nominations; Sen. Joan Huffman, R-Houston, State Affairs; Sen. Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, Transportation; and Sen. Donna Campbell, R-New Braunfels, Veteran Affairs and Military Installations. Sen. Birdwell was named chair of the Border Security Subcommittee of Campbell’s committee. ‘Three-fifths rule’ adopted On Jan. 21, the Texas Senate voted on procedural rules for the current legislative session. Notably, the body dispensed with the traditional “two-thirds

rule” requiring that at least 21 members of the 31-member body agree to bring up a bill before it could be debated on the Senate floor. All 20 Republican members of the Senate and one Democrat, Sen. Lucio of Brownsville, voted in favor of adopting a “three-fifths rule” so that as few as 19 members of the body need agree on whether to bring a bill to the Senate floor for debate. In the course of a two-hour debate opponents said, in effect, that the rule change would give too much power to the majority party and erode the body’s history of bipartisan cooperation and consent. Sen. Eltife said the “three-fifths rule” would help the Senate “to govern in regular session and complete our work in a timely manner.” Unemployment rate falls Job growth continued with an upward trend in December and Texas saw an increase of 457,900 seasonally adjusted total non-farm jobs over calendar year 2014.

December was the fifth straight month of recordbreaking annual job growth for the Lone Star State “and over the month, the state gained 45,700 jobs, marking 51 straight months of employment growth,” the Texas Workforce Commission reported on Jan. 23. In addition, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell to 4.6 percent in December, down from 4.9 percent in November and down from 6.0 percent a year ago. This was the lowest Texas unemployment rate since May 2008, Texas Workforce Commission said. Andres Alcantar, chairman of the state agency, said, “Every major industry added jobs over the year, benefiting from a strong business climate and a growing, competitive and high quality Texas workforce.” Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

Hornet wrestlers duals champs; district next up by mark k. campbell Duals champs! The girls wrapped up their district duals crown earlier in the season. The boys did the same with a crushing defeat of Argyle 6312, giving the Hornets a sweep of 5-5A. Coach Chris Allen said the Azle boys lost just two matches – and one of those was to a reigning state champ. The Hornets were “impressive,” Allen said. “It was a great way to end the dual season. Our lineup came together and we

wrestled smart and wrestled to put points on the board.” And Azle stayed impressive when squaring off against Fort Worth Carter-Riverside. “We wrestled extremely well – very aggressive and smart,” the coach recalled. Azle cruised to a 66-6 victory; the only points AHS gave up was a forfeit at 106 pounds where no Hornet competes. Standouts included Jimmy Fager (113) who pinned a state qualifier and Colten Clearwater who got the quickest pin of the night in 23 seconds.

The Lady Hornets also tangled with Carter-Riverside and won 30-24. On Senior Night, veteran Ruby Ariosa pinned her foe in less than a minute. Allen said the top performance of the night came from Alexis Hanna with a first period pin. “We are a young team, but we are also fortunate here in Azle to have some great kids who are not afraid to work,” Allen said. “Now we have to keep that mind-set as we go into district,” the coach said.

These Azle athletes won district wrestling duals titles for girls and boys.

Coaches said the defensive play of Rhody Duncan made him the Forte MVP. The 8th B also fell to Lake Worth. “Raining down threes” for Azle were Jaden Owens, Mathew Ulshafer, Cameron Kobe Schult, and Tristen Meason.

It happened to be Marsh’s. “It seemed everything they put up went in.

Movie Man

Azle News Wednesday, January 28, 2015

Beloved British movie adaptation bears seeing The Movie Man’s master plan for this week was to see another Best Picture nominee. But things just didn’t work out, so he headed to a kids movie instead. About the film Paddington is a British movie based on a book famous for generations (especially over there). The cute critter in the red hat and blue coat has charmed children for decades. After all, this is a book that star Hugh Bonneville referred to as being “part of the DNA of the UK.” The bear has been animated a few times. But this is the first attempt with today’s lifelike modern computer generation. That means a live-action version was possible and some top British actors were corralled for the film. Fans of movies/TV shows from England will recognize plenty of the actors. For the Movie Man, he was especially pleased to see a couple – Jim Broadbent and Geoffrey Palmer. Broadbent has a sizeable part in the great Moulin Rouge (2001, Movie Man No. 407, an 8) and his performance with some of the cast – including Nicole Kidman who is also in Paddington – on the hilarious song “Spectacular, Spectacular” is phenomenal. Palmer shows up late in Paddington, and he’s not in it long. He’s earned a place in the “Britcom” – British comedy – TV Hall of Fame for playing Lionel in As Time Goes By. Other established English actors populate the movie: Bonneville (the head of the family in TV’s Downton Abbey); Sally Hawkins, Julie Walters, Peter Capaldi (the current Dr. Who) and the voices of Imelda Staunton and Michael Gambon (Harry Potter vets). The film is turning out to be a hit. So big in fact that it’s nominated for the British Academy Award equivalents for screen-

play and best film. The plot (spoiler) English explorer Montgomery Clyde (Tim Downie) is wandering in “darkest Peru” when he comes upon two bears, Lucy (Staunton) and Pastuzo (Gambon). They all become friends and Clyde gives his red hat to Pastuzo when the explorer leaves. Decades later, Lucy and Pastuzo are old and raising rambunctious Paddington (voiced by Ben Whitshaw) in their jungle paradise. But a natural disaster is tragic and Paddington is put on a boat to London – a town where, according to Clyde, families will take lonely children (and bears) in. At Paddington Station, the subways come and go and one dumps out the Browns – dour husband Henry (Bonneville), free spirit wife Mary (Hawkins), disinterested young teen daughter Judy (Madeleine Harris), and talented younger son Jonathan (Samuel Joslin). Mary manages to convince Henry to take Paddington home for just one night. Immediately, the bear causes a near-flood in the house. But the next day he redeems himself by inadvertently capturing a criminal. Soon, all the Browns love

Paddington. Across the city, an evil taxidermist, Millicent (Kidman), seeks a Peruvian bear to complete the collection for the natural museum she oversees. Millicent, who also has an ulterior motive, befriends the Brown’s neighbor Curry (Capaldi) to gain access to the ursine. Soon, Paddington is in the clutches of Millicent while the Browns are rushing to save him. What works (spoiler) This is another movie with incredible CG. Paddington never for once looks unreal; it’s amazing. All the actors are game, especially Bonneville and the

In a pickle? Emergency drought farm loans now available in Parker and Tarrant Counties With the drought’s hold on Texas still taut, help is available for local farmers. Those in Parker and Tarrant Counties may apply for emergency farm loans for losses caused by drought according

to a release issued by the U.S Department of Agriculture (USDA). Farmers in Tarrant County should turn in applications at the Farm Service Agency (FSA) office at 1822 FM 66 in

Waxahachie. Parker County applications for are being accepted by the FSA office at 265 South Virginia Street in Stephenville. Government help Parker County and Tarrant County are among the 199 in Texas named by Secretary of Agriculture Tim Vilsack as eligible for loans to cover part of actual production and/or physical losses resulting from the drought. “Our hearts go out to those Texas farmers and ranchers affected by recent natural disasters,” Vilsack said in the USDA’s announcement. “President Obama and I are committed to ensuring that agriculture remains a bright spot in our nation’s economy by sustaining the successes of America’s farmers, ranchers, and rural communities through these difficult times. “We’re also telling Texas producers that USDA stands with you and your communities when severe weather and natural disasters threaten to disrupt your livelihood.” Both counties were designated natural disaster areas on Jan. 15, 2014, making qualified farm operators in the areas eligible for low interest emergency (EM) loans from USDA’s FSA, provided eligibility requirements are met.

Jan. 7 – to apply for loans to help cover part of their actual losses. FSA will consider each loan application on its own merits, taking into account the extent of losses, security available, and repayment ability. In addition, FSA has a variety of programs, other than the EM loan program, to help eligible farmers recover from adversity. For example, farmers may be eligible for loans of up to 100 percent of their actual losses or the operating loan needed to continue the agricultural business, whichever is less. For farmers unable to obtain credit from private commercial lenders, the interest rate is 3.625 percent. “As a general rule, a farmer must have suffered at least a 30 percent loss of crop production or suffered any physical loss to be eligible for an FSA emergency loan under this disaster designation,” said Melody How to apply Medders Loss specialist for Eligible farmers can receive loans up to 100 percent of Farmers have eight months USDA-FSA. their actual losses.

Businessman dies in shooting incident Former Chamber President Bettis known for supporting Azle by carla noah stutsman An 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 reported a verbal altercation between Benny Aulvry Rogers and Bettis. That disturbance escalated, West

said, to a point where Rogers produced 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 Examiner’s Office. Rogers, 47, the owner of the property where the incident occurred, surrendered to Azle police voluntarily, 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 enforcement 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 domestic 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 affiliate 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 children. See obituary elsewhere in this publication.

The year in review, Part 1: by mark k. campbell The 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 happenings in the first half of 2014. January The main topic around town as the New Year arrived was earthquakes. On Jan. 2, the Texas Railroad Commission (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 Metroplex news outlets descended upon the auditorium to hear activists whip some residents into a frenzy.

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 Federal Crop Insurance program will have to consider proceeds from those programs in determining their production loss. Additionally, any insurance proceeds received by producers as a result of the physical loss will have to be considered in determining their total loss. “Applications for loans under this emergency designation will be accepted until Sept. 8, but farmers should apply as soon as possible,” Medders said. “Delays in applying could create backlogs in processing, with possible delays into the new farming season.”

plify a wedding while simultaneously saving some money. Once you have compiled a list of potential invitees, peruse that list to determine if there are any people who can be trimmed from the list. This is easier for couples paying for their own wedding, as they won’t feel pressured to invite any friends or colleagues of their parents whom they don’t know person-

ally. But even couples splitting the cost of their weddings with their parents should speak with their parents about trimming the guest list to make the affair a little less expensive. Traditional weddings are anything but simple. But there are ways for couples to make planning their wedding less complicated while saving some money at the same time.

offer guests one or two choices of popular liquors such as whiskey, rum and vodka and steer clear of especially expensive brands.

Planning a wedding is complicated. Once couples choose a date and location for their ceremony, they can then get down to the nuts and bolts of the big day. When planning a wedding, many couples are governed by a budget. Budgets often get stretched, but even those brides- and grooms-to-be who spend more than they had initially hoped often find themselves not going too far over budget. One of the best ways for couples to stay within spitting distance of their budget or even come in under budget is to take steps to simplify the ceremony and reception. Simplifying a few aspects of the wedding can save couples money without forcing them to make sacrifices that affect the look or feel of occasion. • Turn floral arrangements into multi-purpose accessories. Bridesmaids typically carry beautiful floral bouquets during the wedding ceremony. But such bouquets are quickly put down and forgotten once a couple has officially tied the knot. Couples can save a few dollars by repurposing floral bouquets and other floral arrangements used during the ceremony. Once the ceremony has ended, repurpose floral bouquets as centerpieces for the reception tables and turn flowers used as aisle markers during the ceremony into small centerpieces on the escort card table or place them alongside the guestbook. This saves you the trouble of choosing various floral arrangements to display throughout the reception venue and also saves you money. • Scale back on the alcohol offerings. Some couples opt for a full-service, top-shelf bar at their wedding. While that’s a nice gesture, it’s also an expensive one. Couples can save a substantial amount of money by simplifying the alcoholic offerings at their reception. Instead of a full top-shelf bar,
