Offi cials, citizens unite in search for missing 84 year old Woman found safe in bushes BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN The sun was going down when the call fi rst sounded. An elderly woman suffering from dementia was reported missing from Azle Manor Nursing and Rehabilitation Center located at 721 Dunaway Lane Thursday, April 10. She was found, hours later, safe and without injury, hiding behind some shrubbery in a courtyard located in the center of Azle Manor. That’s the factual information – the important stuff – and in some places, it might be the end of the story. In Azle, as usual, there’s “more to the story.” Azle Police Chief Randy Reed (left) and Detective Victoria Little run the command post as two TRWD police offi cers (right background) and a volunteer wait for assignments during a search for a missing elderly woman.

The search begins Moments after the fi rst responding Azle po-

For example, the city’s IT systems now exceed the outdated tape backup system, so the city is using a backup appliance temporarily. Although it backs everything up, it’s located on site and offers no redundancy. As staff was working to identify a viable solution to the backup situation, they recognized it was but one aspect of a much larger situation, and that it might be time to address the city’s overall IT network. Currently, the city operates fi ve separate networks. City hall and the B.J. Clark Community Center and Annex are on one network; a second network ties the city’s waste water treatment plant (WWTP), utility maintenance, garage and animal shelter together; and separate networks exist at the Azle Memorial Library, Central Fire Station, and water plant. Internet speeds at most city locations are slow by anyone’s standards, and city hall does not offer Wi-Fi service for staff or visitors. In fact, some employees have found it takes less time to drive to city hall to get information they need rather than try to access it via the Internet connection, according to the memo.

Relay reboot:

Azle council approves city facility IT network upgrade BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Azle’s city hall – along with most other city facilities – is getting a muchneeded and long-anticipated upgrade to its IT network. The city council approved the measure during its regular monthly meeting held April 1. At an estimated up-front cost of $76,000 plus a nominal increase to monthly access charges, the upgrade is something that would normally be brought up as an annual budget request, according to City Manager Craig Lemin. But recent upgrades to software, computers and security as well as expanding IT capabilities in various departments have made one thing abundantly clear: It’s time for the city to move its IT networking and backup capabilities into the 21st century. According to a memo from city staff to council members on the subject, the last major upgrade to the city’s IT network occurred in the late 1990s – more than 15 years ago. During the course of the recent upgrades, problems were encountered with the city’s backup capability and its already-limited network operations.

lice offi cers arrived, they requested help from the Azle Fire Department. As the minutes ticked by, offi cials began an intense search of nearby areas – especially one area behind the nursing home where a landowner has been clearing trees using heavy equipment. That area offered many opportunities for an elderly person to fall or to hide. After an hour had passed, requests were sent out for additional resources to assist in the search. Tarrant Regional Water District police responded to the scene, as did a Texas Parks and Wildlife game warden and the Azle Fire Marshal. At the Azle PD’s request, the Texas Depart-

So staff did its due diligence, researching several solutions. Mayor Pro Tem Bill Jones as well as the city’s IT advisor, VersaTrust, examined the situation and explored various ways to resolve it. Both agreed the most immediate fi x to offsite backup would be to contract with VersaTrust for its “cloud” backup service. That would require a one-time set up cost of $7,582 and a monthly cost of $942. Monthly Internet data with Charter Business would also have to be increased. This option provides back up capability at a fi rst year cost of $18,886 and an annual expense of $11,304. The second option, although much more costly up-front, makes much more sense in terms of effi ciency and safety of city data. It’s the option the council decided to go with in the end. Option Two will provide a wide area network (WAN) connecting city hall, the library, fi re station, water plant, WWTP, utility maintenance, city garage, and the animal shelter. Fiber will be installed between the B.J. Clark Annex and the WWTP of-

News takes top honor in contest At the North and East Texas Press Association’s annual convention, the News came away with the top prize in its division, Sweepstakes. Azle tallied 775 points, 100 more than runner-up Winnsboro News. The Wylie News finished third with 525 points. Reporter Carla Noah Stutsman accounted for many of Azle’s points. She took the top Feature Photo according to judges. Two pictures were considered for the award. One was of a homeless man and Stutsman’s other shot was of a costumed woman at the an-

nual Sting Fling festival. A pair of News Photos – of a house explosion and a police standoff – placed Stutsman second in that category. Her biggest award came when she was picked as the Journalist of the Year. That honor was based on a quintet of stories from 2013 that included an earthquake article and a feature on a police chase on Highway 199 back in the 1950’s. A judge said, “The goal of any writer is to tell a good story and Carla delivers.” Editor Mark K. Campbell echoed that. “Not only is Carla an exceptional writer,

but she is a lifelong Azleite and is plugged into the community. She’s a veteran reporter and Carla knows Azle. That shows in the depth of her reporting.” The News also took first place in Advertising. Last year’s “Football Retrospective” was deemed the top Special Section, and editor Mark K. Campbell’s pictures from baseball and football games took first in Sports Photos. Campbell was picked as the Photographer of the Year for a selection of six pictures that ranged from a shot of a lowlevel Eagle Mountain Lake to a pole vaulter.

The News finished second with its “clever” Headline Writing. A pair of Campbell’s columns placed third as did the paper’s overall General Excellence and Page Design. Campbell said, “It’s always nice to be acknowledged by your peers, that you’re doing a good job. This is the Azle News and we cover Azle and our surrounding area. The judges agreed that we are doing a good job of that. “And that’s all because of a dedicated, hard-working staff.” Publisher Kim Ware accepted the honors at the Tyler convention April 12.

ment of Public Safety’s (DPS) Garland office sent a helicopter to search from the air. Also at the request of officials at the scene, Search One Rescue Team was called in. LeRoy Hidalgo, a Search One K9 handler who lives in the area, was on scene early and said a Search One trailing dog and its handlers as well as several other search dogs and personnel were en route to the scene from locations across North Texas to

assist in the search. A command post was set up in the Azle Manor parking lot and teams were dispatched to various areas to search. Meanwhile, members of Azle’s Volunteers In Police Support (VIPS) and several off-duty Azle police officers and firefighters began showing up, knowing their help would be needed.

Moral of the story Azle Police Chief Randy Reed said Tuesday, April 15 that the only unfortunate thing about Thursday night’s incident is that the woman was not found sooner. “One reason for that, we believe, is that she was both hiding and moving around,” Reed said. And even though the elderly woman was found on the premises from which she was re-

ported missing, Reed says he doesn’t discount citizens who showed up to help or those who searched on their own. “In fact, we encourage it – it shows that citizens are concerned and willing to go that extra mile to help,” Reed said. “The fact is, we didn’t know where she was, and when that’s the case, the more eyes out there searching, the better.” A representative from Azle Manor declined to comment on the incident.

Pearson is RRC seismologist Hospital earns ‘Pathway to Excellence’ re-designation

Seismologist, former Texas ranch manager, strong advocate for protecting and conserving Texas groundwater and surface water. Those are just a few words that describe Dr. David Craig Pearson, who was hired March 28 by the Railroad Commission of Texas to be its staff seismologist. Hired in direct response to the infamous “30 earthquakes in 60 days” that occurred mostly in November and December 2013 in and around the Azle area, Pearson is also a former team leader for a Los Alamos National Laboratory seismic, experimental field team, and holds a doctorate in geophysics from Southern Methodist University. Many in this area quickly zeroed in on the oil and gas industry – specifically its practice of high-pressure disposal of waste water from fracking operations into deep disposal wells – as a possible cause for the unprecedented tremors. “My objective is to develop a broad understanding of the impact of oil and gas extraction activities on the day-to-day lives of Texas residents,” Pearson said. “I believe the Railroad Commission must be able to quickly and factually determine the accurate location of all earthquakes in the state and be able to determine the cause of earthquakes, be they natural or man-made.

“I plan to work to help clarify the root cause of earthquakes occurring by bringing all stakeholders’ concerns, questions, ideas and insights together to identify the best possible solutions,” Pearson said. Pearson was a graduate research assistant to Dr. Brian Stump while he was a PhD grad student at SMU. Stump is a member of the SMU earthquake team currently studying north Texas seismicity. Pearson has experience with many types of man-made earthquakes from nuclear explosions, coal mining blasts and controlled seismic sources for exploration geophysics. He has also participated as an author on numerous academic papers on these subjects. Pearson is a member of the Seismological Society of America, American Geophysical Union, and American As sociation of Petroleum Geologists. As the Commission’s inhouse seismologist, the plan is for Pearson to allow the Commission to strengthen its ability to follow new research, as well

Achieving the Pathway designation demonstrates the professional satisfaction of Texas Health Azle nurses and identifies it as one of the best places to work. The Pathway to Excellence designation looks at 12 factors that influence the nursing environment in a hospital, including the knowledge, involvement and effectiveness of nursing leadership; compensation and work/life balance of nursing staff; and opportunities for professional development. “Our culture here at Texas Health Azle is one where nurses thrive, and this designation confirms to the public that our nurses know their efforts are supported,” said Bob Ellzey, FACHE, hospital president. “It’s an honor for them to be recognized for their day-to-day efforts.”

The contractor shall carry out applicable requirements of 40 CFR Part 33, failure by the contractor to carry out these requirements is a material breach, which may result in the termination of the awarded financial assistance. The City of Azle reserves the right to reject any or all bids and accept or reject any formalities. Award shall be made to the lowest responsive, responsible bidder; however, the City of Azle reserves the right, after evaluation of all bids received, to make no recommendation to its City Council regarding the award of any bid in the event non-responsive, nonconforming, or otherwise unacceptable bids are received, or if budgetary constraints or other unanticipated factors exist.

as well as a 10 percent contingency. The cost of all the necessary connections, switches, cables, backup servers, additional telephones and installation is $58,826. The Charter WAN services annual cost based on a 5-year contract is $34,224 a year or $2,852 a month. The City currently spends $1,634 a month for Internet and phone services which will be replaced by the WAN service, meaning a net increase of $1,218 a month over current costs. The Charter cost includes extending its fiber network from its current termination at the intersection of Lakeview Drive and Ash Avenue farther up Lakeview to the water plant and provides an added bonus of creating fiber availability to the Westlake Woods and Broadway Avenue neighborhoods without impacting the city’s capabilities. City staff recommended the second option, citing it as the “most logical choice at this time.” The up-front costs will be divided evenly between general fund and utility fund reserves. The expenditures will leave general fund reserves in excess of 120 days of operating expenses – even after allowing for the purchase of a ladder truck for the fire department. The utility fund reserves will remain well above 120 days of operating expenses. The monthly Charter costs will also be divided evenly between the general fund and utility fund.

817-444-HURT(4878) PERSONAL INJURY LAWYER FOR THE PEOPLE Brian Hargrove is a proud personal injury lawyer that has been focused on this area of law since he was first licensed to practice. He is exclusively dedicated to representing individuals who have suffered serious personal injury, and also to the families of victims who have been injured or killed in a car, motorcycle, 18 wheeler, or drunk driving accident. Mr. Hargrove is dedicated to the belief that America’s legal system should work for the people, and he is committed to representing the rights of individuals. That’s why over the course of his career he has made it a deliberate choice to never defend an insurance company. EXPERIENCE As a personal injury trial lawyer, Brian Hargrove firmly believes that education and trial preparation is the key to achieving success. He is a proud member of the Texas Trial Lawyers Association as well as several professional organizations that are dedicated to continuing education and trial preparation. Many lawyers want a good settlement offer without proper education or trial

preparation, and if a good offer isn’t forthcoming they are inclined to accept a low offer or drop the case. Conversely, Mr. Hargrove’s use of cutting-edge education, strategies, and technology enable him to attain the best results for his clients. “I provide my clients with the same advice and guidance I would give to my own mother if she were in the same situation.” Brian Hargrove’s approach to his practice is based around careful case selection. Unlike some attorneys you see on TV, he does not accept every case presented to him. Rather, Mr. Hargrove personally discusses the incident with prospective clients to ensure it meets his case criteria. It’s for this reason that his clients can be certain they have his dedicated and personal attention for the duration of their case. “My goal has never been to get the most clients, but instead to get the most for my clients.” Before you talk to a car insurance adjuster, sign any forms, or hire an attorney for your personal injury case, give me a call to discuss your legal options. Call 817-444-HURT (4878) and speak directly to me. I will evaluate your claim to see if I’m the right car wreck lawyer for you.

Four presidents gather when LBJ School in Austin hosts civil rights summit

resident Barack Obama and former Presidents Jimmy Carter, Bill Clinton and George W. Bush spoke at the Lyndon Baines Johnson Presidential Library’s Civil Rights Summit, held April 8-10 in Austin. The summit marked the 50th anniversary of President Johnson’s efforts culminating in Congress’ passage of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Johnson’s signing the bill into law on July 2, 1964. “As we commemorate the 50th anniversary of the Civil Rights Act, we honor the men and women who made it possible,” President Obama said in his address. “We recall the countless unheralded Americans, black and white, students and scholars, preachers and housekeepers whose names are etched not on monuments, but in the hearts of their loved ones and in the fabric of the country they helped to change. But we also gather here deep in the heart of the state that shaped (President Johnson), to recall one giant man’s remarkable efforts to make real the promise of our founding: ‘We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.’” Obama and the past presidents each uttered words to the effect that while Johnson’s accomplishments serve as durable bridges to a better America, every generation has civil rights challenges that must be recognized and addressed, and the value of teaching and learning about the work of predecessors is critical to the health of the nation. Panels composed of historians, scholars, current and former public officials and noted personalities addressed a range of topics, including: LBJ and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., heroes of the civil rights movement, social justice in the 21st century, immigration policy, education, gay mar-

riage, music and social consciousness and professional sports. Presidential historian Doris Kearns Goodwin said, and others agreed, LBJ’s mastery of the legislaSTATE tive process and CAPITAL effective use of power of the HIGHLIGHTS the White House proved keys to Ed Sterling the success of the civil rights law, the voting rights law, the fair housing law, Medicaid, Medicare and other laws and federal programs that have been the legacy of the Johnson presidency and central to American life over the last half century. In their panel discussion, former NAACP President Julian Bond, U.S. Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., and former Ambassador to the United Nations Andrew Young – associates of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. – recounted their personal involvement in the movement. Each of the three credited many others and acknowledged the work of the ranks of the unnamed who struggled in the 1950s and 1960s to unravel racial segregation across the South, and pushed for equal protection and equal access, while generating worldwide awareness and spurring changes in hearts and minds across the United States. Hall of fame professional athletes Jim Brown and Bill Russell traded anecdotes on breaking the color line in sports, opening doors after their retirement as players, and dealing with the day-to-day realities of life in America. Rock and Roll Hall of Fame musicians Mavis Staples and Graham Nash

Letter to the editor Kudos to ranchers for bucking govt. Dear Editor: Never in my life have I seen so much overkill in a show of force by federal and state law enforcement in what could be defined as a simple misdemeanor by a person(s). Case in point: a rancher. Cliven Bundy and his family were ordered by the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) in Nevada to remove his live-

stock on land that he and his family had ranched on since 1882 – due in part that his cattle were disrupting the mating habits of a tortoise. Mr. Bundy and his family disobeyed the order. Consequently, his cattle were confiscated by the BLM. Here’s what’s so nonplussing to the federal government: A hue and cry was organized by Mr. Bundy’s supporters in exhorting a peaceful protest. In turn, that caused the BLM to counter with more than 200 federal and state officers with sniper rifles, at-

Let’s make history!

An Australian Bob Wills-like singer does well

heard a really interesting presentation at the West Texas Historical Assn. annual convention recently in Odessa that compared our own Bob Wills, “The Texas Playboy” to an Australian singer named Slim Dusty. I immediately remembered a similar program several years ago comparing the ranching in Queensland, Australia to Texas cattle raising. Later I approached the presenter, Dr. Leland Turner, and he confirmed that he authored both sessions. A professor at Midwestern State University in Wichita Falls, he has visited Australia and plans a book on the similarities. Of course, we Texans are familiar with Bob Wills and his Western swing, but if I had ever heard of Aussie Slim Dusty, I forgot about it until Dr. Turner told his story at the convention. Beginning in the 1930s Australians were embracing anything that had to do with the American West, especially cowboy movies and country music. They dressed like U.S. Western stars –

THE

jeans, boots and ten gallon hats. They even tried to sound just like them with a Western twang. Actually, both Bob Wills and Slim Dusty favored a larger genre than just country music; they incorporated jazz, hillbilly, boogie and blues. Coming along just a little bit later than Wills, Dusty was born in 1927 in New South Wales and was a singer who used an Australian accent and sang songs that used Australian phrases and lore. The son of a cattle farmer, his real name was David Gordon Kirkpatrick. He took on the name Slim Dusty for his country western moniker. His first big, hit song was "A Pub With No Beer" in 1957. (Years ago I was a fan of the Irish Clancy Brothers, and I remember hearing them sing that song.) The song became the biggest selling record by an Australian up to that time and was the first Australian single to go gold. Dusty eventually collected more gold and platinum albums than any other Australian music artist. The

song "A Pub With No Beer" became wellknown worldwide. In 1970 Dusty (Kirkpatrick) was made a member of the Order of the British Empire because of his successes in the music inPAGES FROM dustry. He won total of 35 WESTERN a"Golden GuiHISTORY tars" through J’Nell L.

first artist in commercial recording to produce that many albums. He recorded them all with the same record company, EMI. Dusty died of cancer on September 19, 2003 at the age of 76. At a state funeral in Sydney the Prime Minister of Australia John Howard attended. The Anglican Dean who presided led the assembled attendees in the singing of “A Pub With No Beer.” Thousands of people stood outside the cathedral during the service. His 106th album, released a few months after his death, went gold after being on sale less than two weeks. The Royal Australian Mint issued a coin celebrating him. U.S. astronauts played a recording of Dusty singing “Waltzing Matilda” from the Space Shuttle Columbia as it passed over Australia in 1981, making him the first singer to be heard from space.

pics held in Sydney, Australia. The audience of 114,714 sang the chorus with him. Very impressive! I remember watching the Sydney Olympics, so I must have watched the closing ceremonies as well, but I did not remember the name, “Slim Dusty.” While recently watching the video, I heard the voice of Bob Costas say, “The 73-year-old Country Music Legend, Slim Dusty. How many times must he have sung that song over the years, but never more movingly than tonight.” I suggest that readers Google "Slim Dusty/Waltzing Matilda" and then click on the 2000 Sydney Olympics YouTube version. Leland Turner, thanks for making me acquainted with Slim Dusty. Of course, though, as Waylon Jennings sang, “Down in Texas, Bob Wills is still the King!”

Pro tips from the Photographer of the Year

ow that I have been annointed as the Photographer of the Year by a bunch of guys somewhere, the April 14 appearance of the rare “blood moon” affords me the opportunity to pass on some hard earned expertise I have gleaned from over two decades of taking pictures. Set your camera on the ‘P’ setting. That’s about it. However, as an award-winning professional photojournalist, I am always looking to improve. That’s why it seems worthwhile to walk through the process that resulted in capturing the rare celestial event. (You might want to take these tips to heart. After blood moons on Oct. 8 this year and April 4 and Sept. 28 next year, there’s not another one until 2032. Some people believe that the unique series of lunar events is a precursor to End Times, so you might not have to worry Plate 1-2 about that 2032 part.) As you can clearly see in Plate 1-1, I was ex- perimenting with the camera setting. When taking pictures at night, it’s usually a good idea to dress appropriately. I was wearing a robe I won at a silent auction for $20 and little else. That became problematic since it was 35 degrees. Still, I professionally spun the dialie thing on the top of the camera and aimed it skyward! The slow shutter click meant trouble – it’s an indicator that you must hold the camera very steady. As mentioned, it was 35 degrees so I didn’t. What you get is Plate 1-1. Next, I turned the dial and fired off another shot, Plate 1-2. This did not result in what I would call a “professional” shot; it looks like my colonoscopy. I tried a third attempt, Plate 666 – on a new dial setting – right when the wind blew my robe open, Crickets silenced and nearby yapping coyotes shut up and bolted to distant pastures. Plate 1-1

From the garage behind me, the radio came on suddenly and loudly, to Air1, a religious station. The camera captured this image of something that appeared to be hurdling down from space. Perhaps the End Tim-

ON YOUR MARK Mark K. Campbell When the earth did not swallow me up, I rejiggered the camera on the setting I use all the time – good ol’ ‘P.’ The flash popped up. It Plate 666 seemed a lot to ask of a flash to ers were right! True, it wasn’t a travel 286,000 miles, but who trumpet blast but the Newsboys was I to argue with ‘P’? heralding the heavenly event, I closed my robe, put the but, still, it was unsettling. camera on the truck windshield

to steady it, and pushed the button. That’s how the picture above was captured. So take it from the Photographer of the Year: Don’t be afraid to experiment. Then just set it on ‘P.’

preferred the activities in Boy Scouts rather than Cub Scouts. Odds are against you if that’s your plan – 95 percent of Boy Scouts were Cub Scouts first. You have to hook them on the fun and adventure when they are young, otherwise it’s too “un-cool” when they are older. Azle has three traditional Boy Scout Troops (147, 175, 243) and two Cub Scout Packs (147, 243). You can get contact

information for all of them at http://beascout.org. The Cub Scout Pack my family is a part of is Pack 243, chartered by Eagle Mountain United Methodist Church. You can get more information about Pack 243 at http://pack-243. org. We welcome all boys in the Azle area entering the first through fifth grades. Tom Kisner

Letter to the editor Scouting is good for your young men The Azle area Cub Scouts and Boy Scouts are about to begin a spring recruiting drive. As parents, we all want to do everything we can for our boys to become successful, produc-

tive men when they grow up. No matter how you measure success, one of the best ways you can insure this is by signing your son up for scouting. Take a moment to think about people you have come across in your life that you know are Eagle Scouts – can you think of a “bad” one? Odds are they are leaders – virtuous, productive men of faith that give back to their community – exactly as

they were taught by scouting. Oh and by the way, they had a whole lot of fun doing it. Camping, hiking, archery, songs, games and more – it’s “fun with a purpose.” Now, I’ve heard a lot of reasons why people don’t have their kids join scouting. They want them to play “this” sport or “that” sport instead. Most of the boys in our troop also participate in sports – scout-

ing takes one hour, one night a week during the school year. I’ve also heard it’s “too expensive.” We work hard to make sure cost is never a barrier to scouting, and provide assistance to any family that needs it. You’ll find it is less expensive than the cost of any sport. Sometimes, I also hear people say they will do it “later” when their son is older, because they

Region I meet next for 14 AHS athletes By MARk k. CAMPBELL When the dust had settled at Little Elm High School April 7-8, regional qualifiers out of 5-4A had been determined. And 14 of them hailed from Azle. A top 2 finish was necessary to move on to the Region I meet at Abilene’s McMurry University April 25-26. Competing there for Azle will be a few district champions. Sarah Hall easily won the pole vault event, clearing 11 feet, 0 inches. Katy O’Dell won the discus with a toss of 102-10. For the boys, Isaac Marquez ran the fastest lap, winning the 400 in 51.17 seconds. Tyler Shemberger’s disc toss of 138-06 was golden. The boys 4x400 team finished a strong second to qualify for Abilene. Other Lady Hornets advancing include runners-up Madi Parkison (discus), Natalie Smith (high jump), Brooke Smith (pole vault), and the AHS girls 4x400 unit. Coach Melody Dennis said, “Our kids give their best.” Since Azle’s district voted to not participate in an Area meet, Azle’s Riley McCracken (right) battles a Byron Nelson Bobcat in the 5-4A varsity finding a rare regional qualifi- Junior varsity pole vaulters Heidi Phillips (left) and Taylor Denning wait to compete.

Ladies suffer 1st 5-4A loss after 13 innings Brewer would be a tough foe, Lady Hornet softball coach Tracy Tadlock knew. And playing at White Settlement amped up the April 11 game – especially since Azle (25-5, 11-1) had won the first meeting between the two stateranked squads. AHS led Brewer twice on the windy evening, only to see the Lady Bears claw back. BHS even managed to overcome a 3-run Azle spurt in the top of the tenth inning to tie the contest again, at 5-5. Brewer eventually won the game in the 13th inning, 6-5. Tadlock said, “Brewer played extremely well, especially on defense.” Only four Lady Hornets struck out. “That leaves a whole lot of plays that have to be made in the field and they made just about every one of them,” Tadlock said. Azle made just a couple of mistakes, the coach recalled, but they hurt.

The Lady Hornets led 2-0 entering the bottom of the sixth. Three more runs in the tenth inning looked to put the game away. Raelyn Temple tripled; Bailee Carter, Samantha Bradley, and Makenzi Harris all collected 2 hits each. Harris pitched a complete game, whipping out 196 pitches in a superior effort. She struck out 18 Lady Bears. Earlier, on April 8 at home, AHS run-ruled Wichita Falls, 12-0. Bradley got the 1-hit victory, allowing just a single. Carter, leading off, had another big night with 3 hits in 4 at bats, 3 runs scored, and 4 RBI. She cranked a pair of home runs. Temple hit safely twice and Sarah Brown got 2 RBI. While the Brewer loss stung, it likely won’t stop Azle from winning the district title. Tadlock said AHS needs just Lady Hornet Bailee Carter scores the first run of the game in White Settlement. The one more 5-4A win for that. contest would turn out to be a 13-inning marathon. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

Tough defeats dent playoff possibilities A pair of one-run losses roughed up the Hornet baseball team’s playoff chances. Azle (8-16-1, 3-7) fell to Wichita Falls at home 5-4 on April 8. The Hornets kept the Coyotes in sight, but AHS never led in the game. Trey Ramos continued his fine season with 2 hits in 4 at bats. Trevor Boiles also collected 2 hits and he batted home 2 teammates. Jesse Salisbury had an RBI. Tyler Flynn scored twice as Azle got a run in the bottom of the seventh but needed one more to tie it up. At Brewer on April 11, the Hornets played tight with the Hornet Trevor Boiles rounds first and heads to second base after slapping a double to right field against Brewer Bears, as AHS usually does, in White Settlement April 11. Azle lost to the Bears in the 5-4A clash, 3-2. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

coach Anthony Barron said. But the Bears won, 3-2. “Every time we play against Brewer, it is always a good game,” he said. “We had plenty of opportunities to put some runs across, but we just didn’t capitalize on them.” Boiles harassed Brewer pitching. The Hornet went 3-for-3 with a double, an RBI, and 3 stolen bases. Ramos doubled in the tough loss. Tommy Kay pitched five solid innings but got the loss. The next day, Barron took the opportunity to “play some guys in different spots,” in a nondistrict game at home against potent Dallas Jesuit. The visitors won, 9-2. Ramos led Azle with 3 more hits.

Movie Man

Wednesday, April 16, 2014

Are you cool enough to ‘get’ this hipster’s latest? Some people like to go to the movies to escape. Some are curious about how a favorite novel might be adapted. Some love superheroes. Some dig spaceships or being scared. And some are snooty. The sort who think fi lm is art and any picture not trying to elevate the form is a colossal waste of time and energy. Only dullards go see Spider-Man; with noses in the air, the elite sniff at the common man and venture to the latest Lars von Trier “masterpiece.” About the film That’s where Wes Anderson comes in. He, too, is beloved by the pompous fi lmgoer, the sort who hails the obscure and disdains the popular. (Before the Movie Man gets too hoity-toity himself, he’ll admit that he sometimes attends movies with a positive outlook if he likes the director – Terrence Malick, for example. [Here’s a test: Go see 2011’s The Tree of Life; the Movie Man loved it and you will almost certainly wonder how that could be possible.]) Anderson certainly has skills. He is the classic hipsters’ director, the kind of guy who gets loaded down with adjectives like witty, whimsical, and original. Also pretentious, insufferable, and vainglorious. And, like Woody Allen, major actors not only line up to work with him, but Anderson has his own coterie of actors at his beck and call. Anderson devotees will laud him regardless of his output: “Most folks just can’t get him,” say the coffee-drinking, ostentatious poseurs. As a director, Anderson’s resume isn’t long. A 44-year-old Texan (from Houston), he has directed just eight full-length pictures. All are beloved by the groovy crowd. Anderson broke in with Bottle Rocket (1996), an expansion of an earlier short. His

most popular hipster movie is Rushmore (1998) and that was followed by his most successful box offi ce effort,The Royal Tanenbaums (2001, Movie Man No. 438, a 5). Successful is defi ned as $52.4 million for a Wes Anderson movie. It took three years for his next movie to arrive and sink: The Life Aquatic with Steve Zissou. A $50 million budget managed but $24 million in America. (However: “It’s not about the money, dude.”) The next fi lms he made all went mostly unseen: The Darjeeling Limited (2007), the stop-motion animated Fantastic Mr. Fox (2009), and Moonrise Kingdom (2012). But the Movie Man isn’t a Wes Anderson hata. The director understands that he’s making movies, not fi lming plays. His camera zooms and tilts and retreats way, way back. You know – just like with Malick – you’re gonna get some sort of eye-popping sequence somewhere along the way. (That’s why the Movie Man, over two decades ago, created the “Best scene” subhead in every review – even the worst dud will have something worth viewing [even if briefly].) What Anderson isn’t is run of the mill. His movies might be grandiose, but in an era of sequels and blockbusters, that’s his allure. The plot A young writer (Jude Law) visits a fading hotel in the high mountains of a European country. There, he meets the owner, Zero Moustafa (F. Murray Abraham) who tells him that this grand old lady was once magnifi cent – and was run impeccably by a M. Gustave (Ralph Fiennes), the concierge. In 1932, the young Moustafa (Tony Revolori) is hired on as a lobby boy and eventually taken under Gustave’s wing. The concierge is a miasma of a man: He’s insistent on upholding the elegance and upscale demeanor

The Grand Budapest Hotel Could I be any hipper?! Starring: Ralph Fiennes, Tony Revolori, F. Murray Abraham Directed by: Wes Anderson Rated R: language, adult images email: movieman@azlenews.net

6 ... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man of the hotel, but at the same time, he is shockingly vulgar and beds every elderly socialite that visits. One of those dowagers, Madame D. (Tilda Swinton), dies and leaves Gustave a valuable painting – one that her son Dimitri (Adrien Brody) is desperate to keep. Gustave and Moustafa stash the picture, but the hunt is on for it. The suave Gustave ends up in jail, gets broken out, and with Moustafa, now his most trusted friend, and the lobby boy’s fi ancée Agatha (Saoirse Ronan), they fl ee – with the growing military power, led by Edward Norton on their trail. What works If you’re the sort of person who likes to see cameos by popular actors, TGBH is for you. Bill Murray, Owen Wilson, Jason Schwartzman, Willem Defoe (all part of Anderson’s regular company), and Tom Wilkinson (who shows up in the opening, a preface to the 1932 flashback) all appear. So do Harvey Keitel and Jeff Goldblum, all in varying role lengths. The Movie Man likes such appearances. The big winner in the movie is Fiennes. He is superb and his character is fascinating. Also exceptional is newcomer Revolori. Anderson’s fi lmmaking tech-

nique is never dull; many single shots are mesmerizing. The prison breakout sequence is full of whimsy, violence, and wonder – classic Anderson. Best scene (spoiler) The fi nale pays off. It takes forever to get there, but it’s potent. In a train car – reprising an earlier scene – the militia again shows up to harass Gustave, Moustafa, and now Agatha. When a soldier dares to strike Moustafa, Gustave, hopelessly outnumbered, bolts out of his seat and attacks the military men – all the while the camera pulls slowly back from the only black-and-white scene in the movie.

It has a queerly reminiscent feel of Schlindler’s List (1994, MM #22, a ‘+’ in the ancient, non-number days, a 9 now), especially with Fiennes who starred in both.

Summing up The Movie Man was OK with TGBH. It contains some interesting and even beautiful sequences. But it’s an “art” fi lm. The majority of the folks who read the Movie Man will likely detest it. A lot.

What doesn’t work This movie is all over the place, more proof that it’s “art.” That can drive lots of folks (including the Movie Man) crazy. Just because you can meander to amp the coolness factor, doesn’t mean you have to. TGBH is in no hurry. That and its seemingly self-indulgent grandiosity can make it frustrating. This is one of those “nothing happens” movies. Exiting people with the Movie Man – all older viewers – said the movie was “unfocused.” The sudden violence, language, and a startlingly explicit painting are jarring; that’s the idea, but it seems like someone trying very hard to be hip. Murray fans will be highly disappointed; he’s barely in the movie, maybe five minutes.

THAZ Auxiliary celebrates 40 years of service by Natale GeNtry Members of the Texas Health Harris Methodist Azle (THAZ) Auxiliary celebrated its 40th anniversary April 8. The group gathered to recognize the volunteers among them who have dedicated innumerable hours to advancing the operation of the hospital in the community and to laud the rich history of the group itself. The auxiliary was founded on Feb. 27, 1974 as the Eagle Mountain Area Suburban Hospital Auxiliary (EMASH).

Theresa Albin, Patricia Byas, Janis Claiborn, Christy Creel, Billy Gay, Nancy Richardson, and John Nguyen. Earning certificates as well as pins for volunteering over 100 hours were Barb Daily and David Long . Five hundred hours bars were awarded to Madge Prince Neola Travis, Carol Presnell, and Hazel Graham.

said. “This ‘triad leadership’ blends the doctors, nurses, and administration into an integrated role.” Ellzey said while they have always worked together in many ways, there has always been a divide between the medical staff and the administration. “But as we look at treating the whole person and the community, it takes everyone at the table together,” Ellzey said.

Area takes sales tax hit in March

CITY

revenue shows the city is only down 0.21 percent for the fi rst quarter of 2014, with revenues of $676,118 compared with revenues of $677,608 for the first quarter of 2013. Similarly, Azle’s CCPD received March revenue of $28,401 for March, down 4.10 percent from March 2013 revenue of $29,617. The CCPD has collected $126,321 during the fi rst quarter of 2014, only 1.16 percent less than the $127,810 revenues recorded for the fi rst quarter of 2013. Azle’s Municipal Development District received $27,217 for March, and has collected $116,817 for the fi rst quarter of 2014. There’s no comparison to make, however, since the district only began collecting a sales tax in October 2013. Azle City Manager Craig Lemin said Tuesday that about half the decrease in Azle’s case is due to comptroller audit adjustment. As for the remaining 2 percent drop, Lemin said it’s possible that wintry weather during January, when the taxes were actually collected, kept people at home and thereby kept sales down. In Springtown, things look worse. The city’s March sales tax revenue of $58,621 is down

Lakeside is exception with gargantuan leap Texas Comptroller Susan Combs announced that state sales tax revenue in March was $2.09 billion, up 5.6 percent compared to March 2013. “The growth in sales tax revenues was led by business spending in the oil and natural gas mining, wholesale trade and construction sectors,” Combs said. “Collections from restaurants were also strong. This marks 48 consecutive months of growth in state sales tax collections.” Combs will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts their April local sales tax allocations totaling $554.5 million, up 6.2 percent compared to April 2013. The sales tax fi gures represent February sales reported by monthly tax filers. Locally, though, Azle – as well as its Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) – along with Springtown, Reno and Pelican Bay, all saw dips in sales tax revenue in March as compared with March 2013. For example, the city of Azle received $149,728 in March, a decrease of 4.19 percent from March 2013. That’s the most signifi cant decrease the city has seen in some time.
