Perfect Valentine?

Disabled Azle youth bags four-legged ‘chocolate’ by carla noah stutsman Michael White was excited to learn that Corporal Patrick Bovea and retired Lieutenant Lee Blaisdell wanted to take him hunting over the Valentine’s Day weekend.

The 18-year-old, who graduated from Azle High School in 2014, got to know both Azle police officers when he joined Explorer Post 203 as a freshman.

White, who has served as captain of the Explorers for about a year, had been to Blaisdell’s father’s ranch west of Abilene to hunt with the Explorers before and was excited to be invited to hunt with two of his mentors.

But when their vehicle took a turn down an unfamiliar county road, White began to suspect something was up.

“Oh, my gosh, look!” White exclaimed. “There’s a zebra over there!”

The hunters – which included Blaisdell’s son Daniel and friend Michael Miller – were actually on the Droptine Ranch near Trent, not far from the Blaisdells’ ranch.

And White was in for the surprise of his life.

Foundation funds hunt Enter the Texas Chapter of the Outdoor Adventure Foundation.

Blaisdell’s connections in both the law enforcement and hunting worlds led to the special hunting trip for White.

“With help from Weatherford Police Officer George Courtney, who owns a deer breeder operation called Brazos Valley Whitetails, I was contacted by the Outdoor Adventure Foundation out of Amarillo to see if I would be interested in hosting Michael for a hunt on the Droptine Ranch in Trent,” Blaisdell explained. “As the father of a child who has limitations, I wanted to do all I could to make this once-ina-lifetime hunt happen for Michael.”

The Outdoor Adventure Foundation is a registered non-profit that provides outdoor adventures to children and young adults with life-threatening illnesses, as well as to combat-disabled veterans that have lost a limb or are Michael White, 18, of Azle, shows off the chocolate fallow deer he harvested Feb. 14 courtesy of wheelchair bound.

of low-fence, ensuring a hunting style that’s suits anyone.

The ranch offers whitetail and exotic hunting, seasonal Rio Grande turkey and dove hunts, and year-round hunts for hogs, varmints, and predators.

Once White spied the zebra as the Azle group entered the ranch, the cat was out of the bag.

“He was pretty stoked up – it was a big, big surprise for him,” Bovea laughed. “I think he was just blown away by the whole thing, but I really think it was good for him to get outdoors and do a little huntin’”.

Wild life Bovea sounded pretty excited himself talking about the array of wild animals the group saw while hunting the Droptine.

“There were animals out there I didn’t even know existed – we saw black buck antelope, Corsican ram, mouflan sheep, Barbary sheep, aoudad sheep, oryx, and we actually saw a wildebeest,” Bovea said.

“But of all the animals we saw, Michael really seemed to like

best.”

Fallow deer are mediumsize, “rangy” deer whose adult males are crowned with large palmate antlers similar to those of a moose.

After being eluded by a beautiful chocolate fallow deer early on the morning of their hunt, White and his fellow hunters decided to drive around and look for others.

It was after lunch when they found him.

“We tried to get Michael into the back of the truck, but he was in an awkward position and couldn’t get comfortable enough to take a shot, so we all got out and put a backpack on top of the truck for him to rest his rifle on,” Bovea related.

“We sat there and waited maybe 15 or 20 minutes, and finally he took a step and turned broadside, and that gave Michael his shot.”

Cornwell ranged it at 200 yards, making the distance a feat in itself. Add to that the fact it was just the fifth time White had ever fired a rifle, and you end up with a pretty spec-

“It was the perfect shot,” said Bovea, who videoed the moment with his GoPro camera.

“It was very impressive.”

Beyond the hunt The OAF Texas Chapter is paying for the processing of meat from White’s harvested chocolate fallow buck.

Plus, the foundation’s taxidermist will prepare the mount, which will be presented to him early next year at the foundation’s annual banquet.

While all that will be icing on the cake of White’s special hunt, some relationships were formed on the hunt as well.

After spending time with Blaisdell and Bovea and their merry band of hunters, Pradon has offered the lodge at the Droptine Ranch for future Explorer Post 203 hog-hunting expeditions to the Blaisdell family ranch.

While neither Mrs. Blaisdell nor Mrs. Bovea have weighed in, the guys all thought it was a Valentine’s Day to remember.

Hopefully they remembered to send flowers before the trip.

High school Vice-President Bradley Gibson, Secretary Jousie Juantos, and Stephanie Ledezma, Lauren Furr, and Adrianna Mielke took turns discussing their group’s contributions to the community so far this school year.

Interact members have taken part in the Azle Lake Run where they directed racers and provided encouragement.

The Eagle Heights Elementary courtyard got a scrubbing and cleaning thanks to Interact.

Group members also participated in a Thanksgiving food drive, Trunk ‘R’ Treat at Halloween, a fall festival, the annual Azle ISD Showcase, and the yearly Chamber of Commerce Christmas event where Interact teens dressed as elves and helped with toy distribution.

An ongoing project for the AHS Interact Club is a jeans drive affiliated with Aeropostale.

Already, Interact has collect-

Aeropostale distributes the jeans to the needy.

The contest runs until May and the club is constantly on the lookout for more denim – no matter the condition.

Next up for Interact is Azle’s Relay For Life in Central Park April 24 where members will conduct games and a cake walk as well as other activities.

The club boasts around 30 members and is sponsored by Alisa Johnson, counselor at Eagle Heights Elementary.

1921 – 2015

1938-2015

1956-2015

James Scott Woody, lifelong resident of Parker County and great-great-grandson of the original white settlers of this county, Samuel and Hannah Woody, passed from this life on Wednesday, Feb. 11, 2015. He was 93 1/2 years old and dearly loved.

The Woody family hopes to continue Scott’s long legacy of love, hard work, strong family ties and faith. Celebration for Scott’s life was held with a visitation from 6 to 8 p.m.

Sunday at White’s Funeral Home in Springtown, 401 N. Main St. The funeral was held at 1:30 p.m. Monday at First Baptist Church of Springtown, 500 N. Main St. Scott was born on the family farm near Veal Station on July 31, 1921, the fourth of six children. He began helping his father, John E. Woody, milk the cows just as soon as he “could walk under one.” In the sixth grade, his father allowed him to keep a calf that Scott saved from a snowy ravine, and so began Scott’s dairy herd. Scott was industrious: he ran a dairy route before school, raised and sold turkeys for extra money in the winter, and became financially independent at a young age.

When not working or at school, Scott and his brothers enjoyed many adventures with the Martin boys, who lived across the road.

In the seventh grade, Scott met his lifelong sweetheart, Miss Rena Mae Stroud. She knew that one day they would be married once she saw his twinkling blue eyes and he asked her to walk around the church. They graduated from Springtown High, class of 1940. They married that December on Rena Mae’s 18th birthday by the Rev. Howard Butler. Scott and Rena Mae were married 74 years.

Scott and Rena Mae bought their farm in 1948 and there they raised their children: Kenneth, Dwayne, Frank and Sally. They built their home atop a hill, giving them a beautiful view of their land.

Scott was active in the community. He sat on the school board for Northside Consolidated School, was a member of the Weatherford Livestock Association, and lifetime member of the First Baptist Church of Springtown.

In 1960, Scott was encouraged by friends to run for Parker County commissioner. He

ran and won. Scott served the people of Precinct 1 for 16 years, and often said he “always tried to do what was right.” Scott was awarded the Outstanding Soil Conservationist by the Agricultural Extension Office in Parker County in 1976. One son, Dwayne, farmed with his father, and together they were awarded the Outstanding Dairy Family of the Year by the Weatherford Chamber of Commerce for 1982-1983.

Scott can be found in the Guinness Book of World Records as the oldest survivor of a porcine valve replacement at 89 years and 172 days, and set a new record every day he lived after that.

Scott certainly enjoyed working, but occasionally he traveled with his wife and family. He visited all 50 states, and particularly enjoyed Alaska. He took an African safari, visited the Holy Land, Australia, and attended the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles, California of course, Scott’s favorite place was home, riding his tractor and working his farm.

Scott’s family describes him as kind, loving, tenderhearted, hard-working, happy, other-centered, tenacious and a sweetheart, yet with a mischievous twinkle in his eyes!

He was known by many names.

He was “Sweetheart” to his wife, “Daddy” to his children, and “Granddaddy”, “Dandy” or “Dee” to his grandchildren and great-grandchildren. He loved his family, loved his land and loved the Lord.

Scott was preceded in death by his son, Dwayne Edward Woody; his parents, John E. and Stella Mae Hotchkiss Woody; brother, Lavoy and wife, Georgia Ann Woody; sister, Mary Ruth and husband, George Earl Morrow, and their children, Eddie and Jay Woody; brother, Norris and his wife, Rowena Woody; brother, Johnny and wife, Dacy Woody; sister, Rena Mae and her husband, Raymond Robinson; and brother-in-law, the Rev. James Stroud and his wife, Lois.

Scott is survived by his loving wife, Rena Mae of Springtown; son, Kenneth and his wife, Faye Daniels Woody, of Weatherford; son, Frank and his wife, Marina Johnston Woody, of Azle; daughter, Sally Woody of Springtown; grandchildren, Mary, Bob, Scott, Janet, Shannon, Sara, Shyloh, Lisa, Jamie, Amy, Maegan, Logan and Elizabeth; great-grandchildren, Trey, Anna, Wendy, Emily, Clay, Jenniann, Colt, Kate, Jenna, Leah, Katie, Grant, Taylor, Dylan, Wilson, John Thomas, and Hannah; eight great-greatgrandchildren; and nieces and nephews, Carl, Raymond, Dan, Terri, Gary, Mary Jo, Jimmy, Bill, Bobby and Keith. He is also survived on his brotherin-law’s side by Jimmy, Dianna and Joey.

In sickness and in health...well, mainly sickness

W

hen you’ve been married a long time – the Bride and I are pushing 40 years together – you eventually run out of new things to do as a couple.

But, we recently found some original terrain, something new to share: We both got sick at the same time.

(Now we had been sore at the same time – for a few days after Feb. 27, 2004 when a drunk hit and rolled our truck [it’s true: some days are way more memorable than others], but never sick at the same time.)

Recently we shared being puny together, including wolfing down overthe-counter meds while staring into each other’s reddened, watery eyes.

Because I’m a notoriously poor

sleeper – I’ve been binge-watching Sea Hunt against my will at 3:30 many mornings these past few months – I’m used to seeing the dead of night.

I write columns, eat Cherrios, and watch Lloyd Bridges solve underwater dilemmas.

The other day, the Bride was felled by whatever it is that’s going around; it’s always called “the crud.”

Since we’ve enjoyed some warm winter days, the culprit was deemed to be the dreaded mountain cedar; whatever the case, there were mighty bouts of stereo coughing, sneezing, and nose blowing that made sleep next to impossible.

Throughout our decades together, I have had a few instances where I was slowed by ailments – a couple of flu incidents, nocturnal toothaches, and

some elective surgeries.

But the Bride’s constitution is unusually mighty.

I’m the guy who gets seasick, the one who gets indigestion from hidden onions.

ON YOUR She got pneumonia back in MARK the 1980’s just Mark K. Campbell when we had friends arrive from Colorado; she could not get out of bed then. But that’s the only time I can remember her really waylaid – until now when she got the p-new-moan-

ya again.

Before that, however, we both were hacking and miserable; no one was healthy enough to care for the other.

There’s nothing like getting sick to mess up your schedule. Like most couples, we have stuff we need to do mapped out months in advance. When that’s knocked a-kilter, the world gets weird.

As noted, being up at strange times is not unusual to me.

I’ve written columns at 4 a.m. – this one’s being typed at 3:20 – and, back in my fire department days, I leapt out of bed in a pitch black bedroom and found myself in another pitch black bedroom five minutes later – only this one was several hundred degrees hotter.

So, I’ve always had a queer sleep

schedule.

But the Bride is the penultimate anti-morning person. She would’ve made a horrible firefighter; the engine won’t wait for two cups of coffee to be consumed before even considering moving from the covers.

As I write, she struggles in the bedroom, filled with Sprite and phlegm and surrounded by piles of tissues. I’m in the same boat but not quite as bad, so, between coughing fits, I bring her meds.

I had been searching for something special to herald our 40th anniversary coming this August. Sharing diseased funk was not on the list.

But it’s something new, and…oh, I see it’s 3:30. Time for Sea Hunt.

Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and should buy stock in Robitussin.

God’s faithfulness and His mercies

Farmers, ranchers set priorities

T

he Texas Legislature is back in session, and Texas Farm Bureau (TFB) members from across the state are working with their lawmakers to ensure the future of agriculture is bright.

“Every year, TFB members from Parker County work with legislators on important issues,” Don Smelley, Parker County Farm Bureau president said. “We talk about the issues in our area and the things we’d like to see ac-

Definition of ‘West Texas’ means many different things

A

friend let me borrow a big book entitled West Texas by Mike Cochran and John Lumpkin. John T. Montford, chancellor of Texas Tech when the book came out in 1999, wrote the Introduction. He said, “There is not a sunset or sunrise anywhere in the United States that compares with those in West Texas.”

So, what is West Texas besides great sunsets?

It's a land of wind.

Drive west on I-20 and start counting the wind machines generating electricity for local citizens and others farther away. The city of Sweetwater, west of Abilene, has a good supply of the wind machines.

It's oil rich.

I used to count pumping oil wells as I approached the town of Post on my way to Lubbock, and then I counted the ones on the other side of town as I continued northward. I generally counted 100 or more. I haven't driven that route lately, however.

For early pioneers or visitors, some

THE

found it “unfit.” In 1856, a traveler named W. B. Parker wrote about traveling through Texas, most of which had yet to be explored. He said, “For all purposes of human habitation – except it might be for a penal colony – these wilds are totally unfit.” Someone wrote that early settlers called Texas “hell on horses and women.”

West Texas is made up of large areas of sparse population, stretches where small towns are dwindling of people who have moved to big cities.

In many instances, it is ranch country with little rain that takes a lot of acres to support a few head of cattle.

One part-time cowman I know had to sell his small herd when all four of the water tanks on his land dried up.

West Texas is a proliferation of barbeque restaurants competing with mom and pop cafes that serve huge chicken fried steaks.

When I attended a convention in Alpine in 2012, Brewster County was celebrating its 125th birthday. The hundreds of attendees at an open-air, luncheon celebration on the courthouse square (including me) were

served heaping plates of barbecued beef with all the “fixins” for only $5. What else would do?

West Texas makes up twothirds of the state of Texas!

One writer noted that from PAGES FROM Fort Worth WESTERN eastward to the border with ArHISTORY kansas is about J’Nell L. Pate 200 miles, but it is 600 miles to El Paso! Two-thirds of the people don't live in West Texas, however.

Most of the population is concentrated in Dallas/Fort Worth, Houston and Austin. This definition is stretching the area of West Texas to everything west of Fort Worth, including the Panhandle and the South Plains.

West Texas is cowboys and periodic rodeos.

Publisher Kim Ware Editor Mark K. Campbell

TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION BETTER NEWSPAPER CONTEST

AWARD WINNER 2014

Of course, Fort Worth just finished having its annual rodeo. Stamford has a cowboy reunion each July, and Pecos claims the world's largest amateur rodeo. Regular ranch cowboys sometimes also have periodic competitions.

Concerning just cowboys herding cattle on ranches, things have been modernized. Instead of horses, pickup trucks prevail. Instead of cattle being fattened on the open range, owners sell them to feedlots.

West Texas is Friday night football during the fall.

The movie Friday Night Lights was about Odessa Permian High School.

Texas takes its high school football more seriously than most states. Indeed, many high school athletes get college scholarships and end up in the NFL. One can recognize West Texas towns by looking at a map: Bovina, Bronco, Buffalo Gap, Cactus, Canyon, Hereford, Lariat, Llano, Muleshoe, Ropesville, Spur, Study Butte.

West Texas is Fort Worth and everything west of Interstate 35.

Fort Worthians claim the city is “Where the West Begins” because if

one draws a vertical line from north to south to divide the U.S. in half, it would run through Fort Worth. We make that claim loud and clear and have done so for over a century. After all, the Chisholm Trail came through, sending cattle drives northward to the railroad in Abilene.

Also, Fort Worth, especially former Star-Telegram owner Amon G. Carter, helped West Texas to grow, because Fort Worth looked west for its market.

Fort Worth organized the West Texas Chamber of Commerce to help sell Fort Worth products and to encourage receipts to the Fort Worth Stockyards.

Fort Worth became the recipient of the West Texas oil boom in the 1920s (Eastland, Ranger, Breckenridge, Cisco), because the city built the refineries. It also was the center of oil speculation as well. Wealthy oil men built mansions in Fort Worth.

I'm thrilled to be a West Texan, can you tell?

Abbott joins other governors in urging against veto

G

ov. Greg Abbott on Feb. 12 announced he had joined a coalition of 24 governors in signing and sending a letter to President Obama that urges the nation’s chief executive “to reconsider his threat” to veto legislation approving the Keystone XL pipeline.

“With one stroke of a pen, you have the power to give thousands of Americans the shot at a good-paying job that will help them provide for their families and get ahead in a tight economy,” the letter says.

The pipeline runs from a terminal in the province of Alberta, through Saskatchewan and Manitoba, then cuts down through several states to Cushing, Oklahoma. From there, a pipeline would carry product to refineries in Port Arthur and Houston.

Legislation authorizing the pipeline recently passed with bipartisan votes in both chambers of Congress, Abbott said, and he quoted language in the letter asserting economic and

The panel also considered SB 17 by Sen. Craig Estes, RWichita Falls, which would allow concealed handgun license holders to carry handguns openly, either holstered on the belt or under the shoulder.

Both bills were approved on Panel passes ‘carry’ bills The Senate State Affairs votes of 7-2, with the panel’s energy security benefits of the pipeline project for states along its route and for the whole nation.

The letter also says: “According to the State Department’s own analysis, the Keystone XL pipeline will create an estimated 42,000 American jobs. Given the number of jobs at stake, it is no surprise that the project has garnered the support of many of our nation’s largest labor unions, including the AFL-CIO Building & Construction Trades Department, the International Brotherhood of Teamsters and the Laborers’ International Union of North America. But the real economic impact extends far beyond numbers on a page. As one labor union representative put it, ‘this project is not just a pipeline; it is, in fact, a lifeline.’ ” According to general figures for Texas compiled by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, there were 10,877 members of labor unions in 2013 and 11,205 in 2014.

EDITORIAL

Best ever at AHS? Is this the best athletic school year in the history of Azle High School?

Already the football team shattered the most victories ever by a Hornet squad. Back in the fall, cross country teams advanced to regional and the volleyball team moved into the postseason, too.

With the winter sports reaching the playoffs, the Lady Hornet basketball squad has already won its bidistrict game. Swimmers set new marks and the soccer teams remain exceptional.

And, as usual, the state-renowned AHS wrestling teams are returning a slew of athletes to the state tournament this weekend. Will Azle have another individual champion?

Spring has yet to arrive and already the 2014-15 school year is one for the books. And it will only improve.

The baseball team is poised for a solid year and track athletes will surely advance, too.

But the real diamond could be the Lady Hornet softball team, already ranked No. 4 in 5A without playing a regular season game yet.

Best year ever? Maybe.

Basketball ladies topple Lake Dallas in bi-district thriller at Northwest HS, 43-42 by mark k. campbell The basketball Lady Hornets repeated last year’s playoff feat of winning bi-district.

Azle (24-5) won a back-andforth battle with Lake Dallas 43-42 at the Northwest High School gym Feb. 16.

AHS Coach Mitzi Marquart said, “It was a game of runs.

They would get up a few and we would catch up.”

One Azle 8-0 run in the third quarter reeled the Lady Falcons in after they had peeled off a 7-0 spurt.

After one quarter, Lake Dallas led 9-6.

In the second period, a 3-pointer by Valarie Matlock tied the contest at 11-11.

But Lake Dallas went on a 6-point run to move ahead 1711 about halfway through the first half.

After two quarters, the Lady Hornets trailed 20-17.

The Lady Falcons managed to keep AHS at bay for most of the third quarter, leading 27-21 near the halfway point of those eight minutes.

Then the Lady Hornets unleashed that flurry of points, highlighted by a bomb from Taylor Fulfer that tied the game

at 27 with 3:25 left in the game.

However, at the buzzer, Azle still trailed 32-30 as Lake Dallas went 5-1 to close out the period.

The thrilling play continued over the final 8 minutes.

Kaycie Dunkerley, fouled on a 3-point effort, made the trio of free throws to pull Azle to within one point with three minutes remaining, 38-37.

Then, with just 2 minutes left, the Lady Falcons led by a single point, 40-39, as the teams traded buckets.

But Azle surged ahead and claimed the lead with 34 sec-

onds left, 43-40. Valarie Matlock made a bucket then Payton Berger played tough inside for two more field goals.

However, more nail-biting action remained and the din in the gym was deafening.

A late score got Lake Dallas to 43-42 with just 7 seconds left.

But the Lady Falcon’s did not immediately call a time out and the veteran Lady Hornet squad took advantage of it.

Matlock inbounded the ball to Fulfer who zipped beyond half court before getting fouled.

Only 0.2 seconds remained and Azle had won.

Coach Marquart recalled, “Lake Dallas shot the ball extremely well. It was a fight on the boards all night.

“Our young ladies continued to battle and took the lead. I’m very proud of our team and our fan support was tremendous!”

Matlock led AHS with 11 points; Dunkerley had 9.

Fulfer’s 6 steals was tops for Azle and she added 8 points.

Kylee Browne and Berger netted 6 points each. The former grabbed 8 rebounds to lead the Lady Hornets.

Nine wrestlers qualify for state tournament by mark k. campbell With nine qualifiers – three of them regional champions – and four alternates, Azle will once again have an impressive presence at the annual state wrestling tournament.

At Frisco’s Liberty High School Feb. 13-14, Coaches Chris and Monica Allen saw a trio of Lady Hornets and five boys reach the semifinals.

The three girls advanced and won gold: junior Ruby Ariosa (102 pounds), freshman Hali Davis (110), and sophomore Lauren Dale (138).

With a fourth place finish, senior Denise Perez also will compete in Garland Feb. 20-21.

Five Hornets lost in their semi rounds but fought back to qualify. Senior Jimmy Fager (113), junior Hayden Buchanan (138), and senior Justin Scarbro (285) were bronze winners.

Also moving on to state by finishing fourth were seniors Colten Clearwater (152) and Marshall Gilbreath (195).

But this group really battled back when getting sent to the back side of the bracket.”

Three other Azle boys fin-

ished fifth and are alternates for state: James Conrique (126), Cody Donnell (160), and Tyler Stewart (170).

The girls only filled seven of 10 weight classes yet still finished as runners-up. Non-qualifying Lady Hornets were vital for the points that propelled AHS up the standings. Also: “Having three regional champs

earns a lot of points,” he added.

The boys high placement was especially gratifying.

“Our young kids – which makes up the majority of our team – really wrestled hard and wrestled well,” Allen said. “I was really proud of how they

Softball girls thump Ennis Azle now No. 4 in the state Azle High School softball Coach Tracy Tadlock said he had arranged for his Lady Hornets to play some tough games early.

He proved that by inviting state-ranked Ennis to the AHS diamond for a scrimmage.

Azle won big, 18-5, inspiring the Texas Girls Coaches Association to move the Lady Hornets all the way up to No. 4 in the 5A poll.

Tadlock was quick to temper AHS’ win. “Their coach said they were missing three starters – one of them being their top pitcher.”

He said Azle trailed as late as the bottom of the fifth inning.

“The scrimmage was a lot closer than the final score.”

The veteran Lady Hornet club has plenty of room for improvement in the young season, the coach noted.

“We made several mistakes on defense which we will have to clean up, and we had a little

“We will make those corrections and be ready to go,” he added. “That is what scrimmages are for.”

The season begins for real Thursday, Feb. 19 when Azle returns to defend its title at the Brock tournament.

Former AHS grapplers shine at the next level For some, wrestling careers do not end after graduating from Azle High School.

That’s been especially true for a trio of former AHS standouts – Chas Skelly, Jesse Grubbs, and Noah Killip.

Azle’s first-ever state wrestling champion in 2003, Skelly, just won a major Mixed Martial Arts fight as a member of Team

Takedown, carding a knockout at the buzzer.

Skelly headed off from AHS to college on a wrestling scholarship but migrated to MMA fighting.

Eagle James Casey.

Skelly competes in the featherweight division.

Two-time state champion Lady Hornet Jesse Grubbs is now not only AHS’ first double champion but the school’s first wrestler to become an AllAmerican, Azle Coach Chris Allen said.

A freshman at Lyon College

in Arkansas, Grubbs won her first two matches in the Women’s College Wrestling Association’s nationals at St. Louis, Missouri.

She reached the fourth round of the third place bracket before bowing out. She ended up eighth in the 170-pound class.

Former Hornet Noah Killip won his weight class of 141 for

Fort Hays State.

The victory earned the nationally-ranked Killip All-MidAmerican Intercollegiate Athletics Association honors.

Ranked No. 8, Killip won his title over the No. 5 athlete from Lindenwood University.

Coach Chris Allen said, “Seeing our kids from Azle keep going makes everything sweeter.”

The season is winding down for the Hornet basketball team.

Azle lost to Rider and Boswell in 5-5A clashes.

The Raiders beat AHS 60-42 at the AHS gym Feb. 10.

The top Hornet scorer was Jamie King with 10 points.

Trevor Boiles added 8 and Cole Maxfield scored 7 points.

Netting 6 apiece were Bryce Gum and Trey Ramos.

On the road in Saginaw, Boswell topped Azle 55-34.

AHS shot just 27 percent.

Pacing the Hornets in scoring was Bowen Moyer with 7 points.

Next came King and Malachi Slick with 6 points and Josh Golliday and Noah Laduca with 5 points each.

The Hornets missed all 11 3-point efforts on the night.

Gum and King shared rebounding honors with 5.

Laduca stole 4 balls to pace Azle.

The 9th boys (10-13, 6-6) got edged by Boswell 43-40.

Dylan Flynn’s 15 points paced the Azle freshmen. Adam Brazell got 12, Jake Norwood 8, and Colby Christian scored 5 points.

Shining defensively, Beck Newby and Spencer Wendell earned coaches’ praise.

Veteran Azle High School baseball coach Anthony Barron said, even this early in the season, Hornet pitchers are shining.

“So far, we are doing well on the mound,” he said. “I have been very pleased with our pitchers.”

Movie Man

Azle News Wednesday, February 18, 2015

Stylish ultra-violent spy homage packs a punch Last week’s movie, Jupiter Ascending (Movie Man No. 1126, a 3), was delayed from the previous summer.

Like many postponed films that get jettisoned into the dead zone of February, Jupiter Ascending was not very good.

Kingsmen: The Secret Service was also pushed back – from late last year until this month. But, in a rarity, it’s a major studio February release that isn’t horrible.

About the film Here’s yet another movie based on a comic book/graphic novel. (A trailer before Kingsmen was for Marvel’s reboot of The Fantastic Four [a vague yet interesting coming attraction] and proves that the genre’s popularity is far from ebbing.)

Aside from the comic book angle, there’s always something interesting – especially to American audiences – about the British spy game.

The James Bond series is one of the most successful in cinematic history. (And that number of almost $2 billion internationally will certainly rise with the arrival of Spectre later this year on Nov. 6.)

On TV decades ago, Americans ate up the terrific Avengers series with the dapper John Steed (Patrick Macnee) and slinky Emma Peel (Diana Rigg) – even though real old-timers and fans will recall Steed’s first big partner, Cathy Gale (Honor Blackman).

(Speaking of the The Avengers, a big screen version – much anticipated in 1998 – remains of the most shockingly bad movies to ever disappoint. The Movie Man gave it a 3 and that was generous. Despite starring Ralph Fiennes, Uma Thurman, and Sean Connery, the movie is astonishingly poor. It arrived during the spate of remaking TV shows into movies and the mark could not have been missed more.)

The BBC sends over a slew of Britishy espionage/myster-

ies modern and old school and local PBS stations are jammed with them, too.

So we clearly like our veddy, veddy snooty yet suave crime fighters from across the pond.

And we have another one in a super natty Englishman Harry Hart in Kingsmen.

The plot (spoilers) A Kingsman has been killed – Lancelot (Jack Davenport who will look familiar; he’s Keira Knightley’s love interest in the Pirates of the Caribbean series) – so a new one must be found and trained.

Each Kingsman brings in a candidate. Hart (Colin Firth) chooses the son of a spy who earlier saved his life; however, the boy, Eggsy (Taron Egerton), while highly-talented and smart, is nothing but a young thief and general punk.

Egerton enters the program and begins to shine in training despite the fact that most of the upper-crust recruits disdain him – except for Roxy (Sophie Cookson).

Meanwhile, evil billionaire Valentine (Samuel L. Jackson) is tired of trying to save the world with his money. He has a plan to rid the earth of most of its inhabitants by having them fight to the death when he flips a switch in cell phones that af-

Kingsmen

High tech Bond Starring: Colin Firth, Samuel L. Jackson, Taron Egerton Directed by: Matthew Vaughn Rated R: lots of violence, blood, gore, and language, unclad booty email: movieman@azlenews.net

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man fects anyone nearby with murderous rage.

Only a few elite will join Jackson in repopulating the world. After the globe’s riffraff destroy themselves, the earth will be a better place.

Firth discovers this plan firsthand to double shocking results (see Best scene).

Soon only Egerton, Cookson, and Kingsman Merlin (Mark Strong) can stop Jackson and his deadly, steel-legged accomplice Gazelle (Sofia Boetella).

What works (spoiler) Firth is just what we Americans want in our British secret agent – a calm hurricane that you don’t want to rile who also happens to have a variety of

deadly toys secreted about his person and attire.

The bar fight that the original coming attraction highlighted is fun. (Too bad so much of it was revealed in the previews).

Jackson has a great time and utters the best lines (and also enjoys the most shocking moment with Firth after the Best scene).

Strong and Michael Caine shine, and the lead is handled well enough by Egerton.

There are special effects aplenty, with some slow motion spinning about to go with chop-

socky action.

The earlier sequences of the recruits training are exciting, especially one where the skydiving crew is told mid-flight that one of them doesn’t have a parachute.

Pet lovers will be shocked at the scene where recruits are told to shoot their pet dog.

Another sequence where a mom tries to hack through a door to kill her terrified young daughter is unsettling.

Best scene Jackson tries out his rageinducing concept on a racist small Kentucky church; Firth is in attendance.

When the phone switch is flipped, the vile congregation – the sign outside says “America Is Doomed” – turns on itself in a stunning blood-thirsty scene led by the killing machine Firth.

It’s all set to the instrumental section of Lynyrd Skynyrd’s “Freebird” and must be seen to be believed.

It’s gory, hilarious, disturbing, blasphemous, and ultraviolent all at the same time – and will be too much for some viewers.

The rating There’s just a whiff of sensuality; otherwise this is a hard action-movie-ish R.

What doesn’t work (spoiler) Some of the dialogue is not discernible because of the accents. That got a little frustrating.

Azle resident Mark Donahew, who shares Boldt's interest in WWII history and veterans, has been working to get local vets to attend the luncheon.

“I've always tracked down WWII vets – I've been interviewing them for a lot of years,” said Donahew.

“We're trying to get the word out so we can get more of them to come.”

Donahew was able to provide transportation to the luncheon for Springtown resident Fred Purser, age 90, a WWII Navy serviceman who spent two years in the Solomon Islands during the war.

Purser said he enjoys the monthly luncheon and hates to ever miss it.

“I love to go over there,” Purser said. “We eat, and then we have a program. They also

Both Boldt and Donahew said their group includes veterans from all walks of life and every branch of military service.

“They have regular attendees of several POWs,” said Donahew. “One of them was in the Bataan Death March, and another one was shot down over Japan in a B-29.”

Boldt said, “Two of the ladies that come are Navy WWII vets – so we have a little bit of everything.”

The luncheon is paid for out of Boldt’s own pocket, along with donations which are accepted to help provide for the meal and the banquet hall rental.

He and Donahew are also working on ways to provide

more area veterans with transportation to and from the meetings.

“It's a big project, but I really enjoy doing it – it's a great opportunity for me,” said Boldt. “The whole emphasis is to honor the veterans, to show them appreciation, and just give them respect. They're the

Greatest Generation, and sadly, they won't be around much longer.”

Everyone is welcome to attend the luncheon; many of the veterans are accompanied by a family member each month.

“The vets know they are kind of the last ones, so they like to get together with other vets,” said Boldt. “They’re willing to share their stories now and to talk about their experiences.

And I’m sure there's more vets out there.”

The next luncheon will be held at 11 a.m. on Friday, Feb. 27, at the Hawaiian Falls Banquet Room, 8905 Clifford Street in White Settlement.

RSVP and a donation for the meal by non-veteran attendees is required.

Looking up: by carla noah stutsman Movin’ on up!

Texas Comptroller Glenn Hegar said Feb. 11 that state sales tax revenue in January was $2.56 billion, up 11.2 percent compared to January 2014.

Hegar will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts their February local sales tax allocations totaling $873.1 million, up 8.9 percent compared to February 2014.

The sales tax figures represent December sales reported by monthly tax filers as well as October, November, and December sales by businesses that report tax quarterly.

Locally, the town of Lakeside had the only negative numbers to report – but even those are minor following a year in which the town saw its sales tax revenues double on the heels of a voter-approved one percent hike in its rate.

Lakeside’s February sales tax revenue of $17,714 was down a mere 1.52 percent from February 2014 when it received $17,988. The town collected $30,830 in the first two months of 2014; so far in 2015, it’s received $27,600, a decrease of 10.47 percent compared with last year.

Similarly, the city of Reno raised its tax rate in the general election in November 2014, so it will enjoy 12 months of 100 percent increases in its revenues compared with 2014.

Reno’s February sales tax

Most area cities see increases in sales tax revenue; only Lakeside down

revenue of $13,927 is 107.84 percent more than the $6,700 it received in February 2014.

Year-to-date, the city has received $19,478. That represents a 70.24 percent increase from 2014 when it had collected $11,478 after the first two months of the calendar year.

Sanctuary received $1,810 for February, up 65.65 percent from $1,093 in February 2014. The city’s year-to-date total is $3,052, a 48.07 percent increase from $2,061 for the same period in 2014.

The city of Pelican Bay received $1,581 for February, a 6.10 percent increase over February 2014 revenue of $1,490. However, its year-todate total of $2,960 is down 9.61 percent from $3,275 at the same time last year.

Azle recognized a 6.34 percent increase from February 2014 revenue of $219,798 with $233,740 for February.

So far in 2015, the city has received $403,096, up 6.98 percent from $376,789 in the first two months of 2014.

Azle’s Crime Control and Prevention District received $43,147 for February, up 9.18 percent from $39,516 in February 2014. Year-todate, the CCPD has received $75,944, up 9.15 percent from $69,576 through February 2014.

The Azle Municipal Development District performed even better, receiving $44,713 for
