She is described as Caucasian, with long, wavy, strawberry blond hair, hazel eyes, 5-foot-5-inches tall, and weighing about 240 pounds. Abigail was last seen at school on Thursday, April 24, but did not attend her last three classes. When she did not arrive home later that evening, her Abigail Rubio grandmother notified the Sher- … missing since Thursday, April 24, near Weatherford iff’s Office. Rubio was last seen wearing blue jeans and a black hoodie, carrying a backpack. She is prescribed medication but did not take her medications with her. She did not have her cell phone with her at the time of her disappearance. Sheriff Larry Fowler said Rubio may have been seen near FM 730 Friday, April 25, speaking to a man parked in a vehicle on the side of the road. The vehicle is identified as a possibly later model black Impala. The driver was described as having an extremely fair complexion, with dark hair and a mustache. “We have the best team of investigators assigned to this case,” Fowler said. “They are diligently trying to locate Abigail.” Anyone with information about Rubio’s disappearance or current location is urged to contact the Parker County Sheriff’s Office immediately at (817) 594-8845.

CorreCtion A story that appeared in last week’s Azle News incorrectly stated the days on which residents whose addresses end in even numbers (0, 2, 4, 6 and 8) may water using sprinklers or automatic irrigation systems. Those residents should water on Wednesdays and Saturdays between the hours of 12 a.m.-10 a.m. and 8 p.m. to 12 a.m. The News regrets the error.

Horse tests positive for rabies

National Nurse Day

Whitt area animal recently competed in Mineral Wells A horse that recently participated in a team roping event at the Mineral Wells indoor arena has tested positive for rabies, according to Parker County Sheriff’s Animal Control officers. The horse resided in the 1900 block of North Whitt Cut-Off Road in northwest corner of Parker County. Officials urge any person who may have come in contact with the horse from March 27 through April 18 to immediately see a physician and to contact the Sheriff’s Office at (817) 594-8845. The horse was a contestant with its owner, Carson Pilgrim, of Whitt, at the roping event and was physically unable to perform due to neurological damage. The horse was diagnosed when the owner sought a veterinarian’s assistance. It is described as a bay, 8-year-old gelding. Rabies symptoms include irritation, weakness, disorientation, neurological instability, loss of appetite, and lack of thirst. Officials believe the horse may have come in contact with a skunk infected with rabies. Sheriff’s Animal Control supervisor Karen Kessler advises the public to have all livestock and domestic animals vaccinated for rabies. “The skunk population seems to have increased this year, which also increases the possibility of being infected,” Kessler said. “This includes all animals and humans. “In order to protect your loved ones and pets, we cannot stress In recognition of National School Nurse Day May 7, the Board of Trustees for the Azle Independent School District enough the importance of awareness and prevention.” honored its school nurses during its monthly meeting April 15.

C andidate Q uestionnaire 2014 Reno City Council Place 1 Ken Parnell 1. After having lived here for eight years I have come to recognize the fact that it is time I give back something to a community which has given so much to me. If re-elected, I hope to continue to promote harmony within the council and also the city. In doing so, I believe that a deeper sense of unity will result and help us have a bright and safe future. Ken Parnell I believe I have the ability to study and to understand complex problems facing the city; moreover, I have the imagination and creativity to formulate solutions. I want to be able to oppose any unreasonable action which might lead the council to act unwisely and not in the best interest of the people. Being a part of keeping the taxes reasonable over a period of time would be a very satisfying goal to accomplish. I would like to be a part of formulating a comprehensive plan to see Reno into a happy and safe future. 2. First, we need to maintain and continue the status quo policies which have brought about our recent accomplishments. Second, we need to communicate these policies more effectively with the citizens. With internet and other media, communication is better, but should continue to be improved. Third, but perhaps most important, we need to accelerate the repairs and construction of streets and roads. “Political pavement” is not acceptable and the streets we work on must be done well. Fourth, we need to keep the taxes as low as possible. We can expect our expenses and income to rise with the increase of population, but the fact remains that there are many of our citizens who are too poor to pay taxes. Fifth, while we have had to focus on many problems which existed before the present council convened, we need to return our attention to the comprehensive plan for the city. The future will be here before we know it and we must have at hand the means to handle as many problems as we can anticipate. I have full confidence in the current council’s ability to do this.

resort to mere “political paving.” However, to me, the most pressing issue is that of getting back to and refining our comprehensive plan. We now have some relief from the inherited issues facing this council when we first took office. Hopefully, we will have more time for study and refinement to enable us to address larger, and farther reaching issues. Roads and streets – the study of traffic and infrastructure – will be a large part of this plan. We have a strong need to plan for appropriate zoning in the area. I would like to see the present liberties enjoyed by the agricultural areas to continue well into our future. I would like to see adequate water and sanitation available to all parts of the city. At the same time, I recognize the need to plan to keep the taxes at the lowest possible level. How we manage all this as a council and as a community will determine the quality of life and the safety of the whole area.

Carol Houlihan 1. I’m running because I’m very dedicated to what happens in Reno. What happens here in Reno affects every citizen personally, and I’m committed to helping Reno stay on the right track for the future.

1. Why are you running for office? 2. What can the council do better to make Reno better? 3. Please provide your work and personal background, including skills and knowledge that will make you the right person for the position 4. What’s good about Reno? 5. What’s the biggest issue facing Reno?

2. The Council needs to have someone actively seeking new retail business to come into Reno. Without new Carol Houlihan business to help with sale tax revenue, Reno will have to depend on property tax to fund the city. Because of my efforts, Reno’s sales tax revenue increased over $1,000 per month. I checked with the Texas Comptroller’s office and went through all the business records and found many businesses were not paying Reno sales tax. When those over the damage to our roads, but I feel there will be a commistakes were found, the city’s sales tax increased. promise reached soon. 3.

Without being on code from the very beginning and providing services for the the council I will not be able to do this. RENO needs me back $1.1 million budget the current council wants. I agree with Art on the Council. Johnson and Condie Prioleau about the tax money going in but not the right things being done for the citizens.

3. I am a graduate of North Side High School of Fort Worth. I have a Bachelor of Arts degree from Baylor University and a Master of Arts from TCU. I taught for 34 years on the Castleberry and Burleson school districts. I worked at Leonard’s Department Store for over nine years and at a court reporting college for seven, part-time. During my teaching career I coached debate and forensics. This experience required that I research and understand complex issues and understand both sides of an issue. I also have a knowledge of parliamentary procedure – something I taught each year in speech class. I have been a member of John Knox Presbyterian church for over 40 years and served there as an elder. After living in Fort Worth for over 50 years, and experiencing problems of over-regulation, urban crowding, traffic problems, and taxation, I believe that I have a fair understanding of what to avoid in Reno. I have been married to Sherry Parnell for 55 years. She is always available to give me wise counsel, encouragement, and Bonnie Black hope. She is, by far, my best asset. 1.

Not to mention the reining in of the police. I was stopped by the sergeant for making a legal traffic maneuver. Thus at the time because of the stop I was falsely under arrest, although not cited and was nonetheless falsely detained and embarrassed by the action; I filed a complaint to the Chief. The next was the arrest made by the Reno officer for “Child Endangerment.” Reading the arrest circumstances the officer was totally wrong. There was no “Child Endangerment” – there was “Leaving a child in a vehicle” which is a Class C misdemeanor, ticketable with up to $500 fine, not arrestable. And public intoxication, which is also a misdemeanor Class C, ticketable, and jailed until sober. I want protection but, I want more professional protection – something that Reno Police can’t provide. I fear the police more than the criminals; I want a well-staffed and knowledgeable department watching over me and the rest of Reno. Of course you know what I mean – Parker County. When the police that serve the citizens are more dangerous than the criminals it is time to rethink the circumstances. Oh, and the Mayor and council that voted to allow gas wells, and once the earthquakes start, then want to rescue the citizens from something they themselves wanted. 3. I have 25 years in a successful small handyman business, and before that commercial and residential maintenance for 15 years. I have some college (TCJC), computer programming basics (Linux mainly, some Windows), dabbled in web design for myself. 4. Well, the people are great people. Parts of the City – not so much. We have a great volunteer fire department. All the citizens of Reno seem to be law abiding and not lawless seedy characters, as once described. 5. High taxes and angry citizens wanting less of a tax burden. Money left in the citizens’ pockets helps the citizens more than taking more and more from them. Reno has very little growth except where taxes are concerned and that seems to grow every year, regardless of slow population expansion.

C andidate Q uestionnaire 2014 AISD Place 2 Damon Bethurum 1. I am running for school board because I want Azle to be the kind of place my daughter and her friends would want to live 20 years from now and raise a family of their own. I have a very proactive view of things. I strongly believe that to be a good leader you must first be a good listener. I feel my experience as a resident and service with the city Damon Bethurum as well as proven strong leadership qualities would be a great asset to the Azle school board. 2. My answer is simple: I want to support the students, parents, teachers and staff of Azle ISD. I would like to help make Azle’s schools the best around. As a parent I would like to know more about what is being taught in the classroom so I can address matters with school work easier. I know nowadays text books are used less frequently than they used to be. So I would like to see more communication between the school district to the parents regarding this. 3. I have lived in Azle for 24 years and have a beautiful wife and daughter. I attended Azle High School and graduated in 1991. Upon graduation I furthered my education by attending TCC to study business. I also attended Weatherford College Police Academy in 2001, graduating in the top of my class with honors. I worked for Fresenius Medical Care as technical manager for 17 years. I am currently employed with U.S. Renal Care as a Bio Med. I am a current member of the city of Azle’s planning and zoning board as well as its board of adjustments and have served for numerous years. I have also volunteered as a coach for the YMCA over the years and helped sponsor youth sports and cheer here in Azle. I think Azle is a great place to raise a family. 4. I think Azle has the greatest teachers around and some of the best programs by far. So if elected as a member I would strive to help accomplish the task of making Azle schools a better place for students and teachers to reach their greatest

Mayor Pelican Bay Tom Petty 1. I ran for city council because I have seen so many issues in the city of Pelican Bay. I thought maybe I could step out after a short two-year term, but there are still more issues and more corruption. I simply don’t want to live in a city run by crooks. We need leaders that are fiscally responsible. I believe in honesty and strong ethics and I think we should have top-notch ordinance enforcement and animal control. 2. The first thing council can do is work as a team and lose its personal agendas. We can find a project for each council member in the city to improve upon and work for the fine folks of Pelican Bay. 3. I worked for 15 years as a vending manager at the Cotton Bowl in Dallas and worked in a fast-paced, progressive position. I worked with the Dallas city council and city of Dallas auditors. I understand what it takes to run Pelican Bay. After two years on council and two terms as Mayor Pro Tem, as well as acting Mayor for four months, I have been active with the Pelican Bay Volunteer Fire Department, creating the Citizens Care program with great success. I have worked great with the Pelican Bay Police Department, assisting them in the take-down of a major theft ring as well as a meth lab. I have worked in the past as I still do today with A.I.D.S. Interfaith and A.O.C., Active Duty Texas State Guard, so I understand discipline, rules and procedures and respect. 4. We still have that small town attitude with plenty of friendly smiles to go around, and plenty of friendly people. We have no traffic, and of course, we’re living on wonderful Eagle Mountain Lake. 5. Economic development and growth, infrastructure, public safety, helping shape and create a better future for our youth, support for our seniors.

Bill Morley 1. I have been on the city council for the last 1.5 years. Now more than ever the city needs a Mayor who is for the people and who will listen to their concerns. Since being in office I have worked with Police Chief Jason Farris in screening officers. I had a sign made welcoming people to Pelican Bay and also I started the food pantry. If elected, I would make sure money was included in the budget to replace or repair a few streets each year working with Mike Lowery. Also, I would like to be able to offer employees some type of benefits. Again this election, as in the last, I’m hoping the citizens will have that same faith in me. 2. First and foremost, the council must listen to the people and work together with no senseless arguing. They must find solutions. It’s up to the council to make sure the budget is adhered to so there is no runaway spending and we need to try to ensure that all city departments get along. It’s up to the council to try and improve the beach and parks so the kids have a place of their own to play in.

1. Why are you running for office? 2. What can the council do better to make Pelican Bay better? 3. Please provide your work and personal background, including skills and knowledge that will make you the right person for the position. 4. What’s good about Pelican Bay? 5. What’s the biggest issue facing Pelican Bay?

City of Reno Place 1: Carol Houlihan Ken Parnell, incumbent Place 3: Bonnie Black, incumbent G.G. “Randy” Martin, III Gilbert Morrow Place 5: Billie Steele, incumbent some of the rundown properties and clean them up. This way anyone looking to move into the Bay will not have to see rundown properties. These are just a few items that the city’s Mayor must address the next few years. The Azle News did not receive a response from Robin Finstad and Bartley Scarbrough.

Candidate for Place 1 Ryan Tincher 1. I am running to continue to improve the city. 2. I believe the council has been working very well together and we can do great things if all council members work together. In order to improve we must work as a team. 3. I have been on council since I graduated high school. I am a hydraulic fracturing hand. I know how to work well with others and bring a different perspective to the city. 4. To me the best thing about our city is our volunteer fire department. They are doing absolutely wonderful things for the city. They have recently started a Citizen Care Program I enjoyed helping with when I am in town from work. The guys of Pelican Bay’s Volunteer Fire Department are outstanding. I also believe our current police department is the best police department we have ever had. I support both the fire department and police department and hope to continue to see them do great things as they are now. 5. I think the biggest issue we are facing in Pelican Bay is the lack of activities for the children in our town.

3. Most of my life has been spent in the auto industry, either in sales, management or finance. I went to college for a brief time studying law and psychology. We have lived in the Bay for about 4.5 years. I have a daughter and two grandchildren who live in San Antonio. Diane and I love living in the Bay. We own our home and would love to see things improve. I know that with some work things could improve. 4. Hands down, the people! We have such a diverse citizenship. Most move here because they want to move away from the big city, others just to live in the area. We live on a beautiful lake for boating and fishing. The people are friendly and will always lend a hand. Yes, we do have our problems with drug abuse and theft like Randy Carey any other city but we do have a good police department who The Azle News did not receive a response from Randy Carey. do their best running the offenders out of town and trying to keep them out. Another good thing about Pelican Bay is that the towns around us are starting to respect us again. 5. Street repair and code enforcement are a never-ending The Azle News did not receive a response from Tish Allen problem. We need to rejuvenate the kennels so we can control it within the city and not pay for another company to handle it. or K. Wrinkle. In searching for a new City Attorney, we need to condemn

Secrets to getting the most out of your vehicle

’m not really a car guy. For me, a serpentine belt might actually be a real serpent for all I know. Yet, I manage to get fantastic mileage out of my vehicles. This never fails to mystify my friends who spend hours tightening thingies under the hood and fretting about changing their oil every 3,000 miles. On April 26, my trusty 2004 Chevy Silverado turned over to 300,000 miles. (That day, I posted on Facebook: “In 10 minutes, something is going to happen to me that has occurred only 1 time in my almost 58 years on this planet.” That, of course, was a straight line that many cyber comedians could not pass up, inviting jabs like: “Say something witty?” “Tithe?”) Anyway, the big event occurred almost exactly 10 years after we bought

the truck. So, I average around 30,000 miles annually. (On this vehicle – we go tens of thousands of miles in the other one, too.) The truck is the second vehicle I’ve owned to reach this 300,000 pinnacle. A 1996 Plymouth Voyager van went 340,000. Then I gave it away; it might still be going. So, perhaps you’re wondering, how does a non-car guy get such amazing distance from his vehicles? With such an astonishing resume, this seems like a good time to pass on my time-proven methods. 1. When you hear a noise, turn up the radio. This has worked for me a thousand times. AC/DC works best, but you can get a lot of mileage out of one of the

ON YOUR MARK Mark K. Campbell Allman Brothers endless jams. Celine Dion will not work; your weird engine noise is preferred. 2. Click past all those annoying dashboard messages like “change oil” and “you appear to be totally out of transmission fluid.” Vehicles apparently are filled with all sorts of fluids. And lots of folks are constantly changing them out. It’s been my experience that doing so will not only cost you a lot of money, but will quickly lead to having read all the

Cosmopolitan magazines in the waiting room. Some people still change their own fluids thereby saving about 85 cents. It’s more economical to just wait until you literally can’t wipe the thick oil off the dipstick – that’s about every 35,000 miles. 3. Fuel up only when necessary. The ding of the low fuel light is just a challenge, really. Some say you suck “gunk” into your “fuel pump” when you let your tank get super low. Personally, I try to go as long as possible on a tank of gas. More than once, I’ve put 24.6 gallons in my 24-gallon tank. You might not be the sort to live on the edge like me, but I’m not about to let a dinging light boss me around! You might as well have an aired-up spare, too, you spineless jellyfish!

Besides, the more often you stop, the more likely your vehicle won’t restart. That’s just common sense. 4. Say nice things to your vehicle. Some people lavish their praise on, say, their “fur babies” when they should be lauding their car. Good luck figuring out how to get home riding on the back of Fifi (unless she’s a Great Pyrenees – then, maybe). No, you should be saying sweet nothings to your Ford. It’s the one that’s going to return you home through the snowstorm or provide limited protection should a bear attack. Well, that’s it. Good luck on achieving 300,000 miles. See you on the “Highway to Hell.” Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and wrestled with ending this column with that AC/ DC song since he’s supposed to take part in the National Day of Prayer May 1.

Letter to the editor Chinese + Reid = Bundy situation This is in response to your letter from a Kathy Rhodes of Azle [Apr. 23, Nev. cattle rancher is mooching off U.S. taxpayers]. There are some mistakes in her so-called facts that I will attempt to clarify. First and foremost, the land in question is not government land. If it were, then the Clark County commissioners could never have sold that land to the Chinese. They sold the land to the

Chinese for $4.5 million when two separate appraisals came in at $29.6 million to $38.6 million. As far as Mr. Bundy goes, his family was ranching there long before there was a Bureau of Land Management (BLM). The BLM has acted as Harry Reid’s personal little gestapo in order to throw Mr. Bundy off of the land so the Chinese can get started with their “green energy” plan. You may have heard of the BLM as they are currently working on confiscating a large amount of acreage in Texas and Oklahoma. There have

been so many figures bandied about, (depending on who you listen to) that I don't think any one could, or would, come up with a valid figure. Having lived in both Clark County and Nye County, I have seen some of the “deals” made by Reid and his henchmen, the BLM. In the future, before you become all incensed about an issue, listen to both sides. Just a slight bit of research will give you the actual facts. William V. Anness Azle

How the state of Oklahoma eventually got that name

really like to know how things got their names. Last week I wrote that there's always history, a person, and a story. So, how did Oklahoma get its name? Read on. The story begins during the American Revolution when a white colonist named William Fry entered Choctaw country (later Mississippi). He married a Choctaw woman. Skip to his great-grandson Kiliahote, born in November, 1826 whose family did not speak English. The first group of Choctaw were being “persuaded” to move west of the Mississippi River to Indian Territory and traveled with great hardship in 1832. Kiliahote's family traveled west the next year. His mother had died in 1832. The Choctaw wanted education for their children and welcomed missionaries who were willing to provide it. Kiliahote's father enrolled him in 1834 in an elementary school taught by Miss Eunice Clough, a devout missionary. The missionaries began

THE

the practice of giving each student an English name upon enrollment. Miss Clough admired a fellow missionary, Alfred Wright, who was in charge of all the religious efforts among the Choctaws. She assigned his last name to the young Kiliahote. In the spring of 1834 Kiliahote officially became Allen Wright in the white man's world, and Allen Wright he would remain. His father died in May 1839, and a little over a year later Allen entered a school called Pine Ridge where a missionary Cyrus Kingsbury was in charge. Wright still could not speak or understand English very well. After four years with Kingsbury, that situation changed. In 1844 he entered Spencer Academy, which was for Choctaw boys the final schooling available. However, the educationminded Choctaw had established a policy that promising young Choctaw students would be sent to eastern colleges with their tuition paid by the tribe. They used annuity and other available funds.

C o n s e quently, Allen entered Delaware College at Newark, Delware in Sept. 1848. From there he transferred to Union College at Schenectady, New York in 1850 and PAGES FROM graduated in 1852. He WESTERN July immediately HISTORY entered Union heological J’Nell L. Pate TSeminary, and in 1855 was awarded a Master of Arts in theology.

ers of Foreign Missions (the group in charge of missionaries to the Indian Tribes.) Returning home to Indian Territory, Wright became instructor, then later principal, at Armstrong Acad emy from 1855 to 1857. He became so dedicated to teaching Christianity to his fellow Choctaw that he helped translate portions of the Bible from Hebrew into the Choctaw language. In 1857 Wright married a young missionary teacher, Harriet Mitchell, who had come to Choctaw country after being assigned by the Presbyterian board. Allen became a member of the Choctaw Council and helped write a new constitution in 1860 which provided for one “Principal Chief.” Wright enlisted in the Confederacy in 1861. After the war he was one of five delegates from the Choctaw nation to negotiate a treaty with Washington to restore a relationship with the U.S. The U.S. wanted to create an intertribal territorial government for the Indian Territory.

When a name for the entity was asked for, Wright suggested “Oklahoma.” He explained that the word “okla” in Choctaw meant “people,” and “humma” or “huma” meant red. The phrase “Territory of Oklahoma” would thus mean “the Territory of the Red People.” The united territory of all five tribes did not materialize, but when the area became the 46th state in 1907, the name “Oklahoma” became official. Wright returned home from the negotiations and was chosen Principal Chief of the Choctaw, which he held from 1866 to 1870. After that he continued as a missionary preacher. Then from 1880 to 1884 he served as superintendent of schools for the Choctaw Nation and compiled and edited a Choctaw dictionary to use in tribal schools. Wright died Dec. 2, 1885.

Officials jump into TX-OU river boundary issue

hen a temperamental river with mud banks and sand bars defines the border between two states or two countries, there’s a natural potential for conflict between humans on both sides of it. And so, a 140-acre plot of land along the Red River border between Texas and Oklahoma became a growing news topic last week. That particular plot is within some 90,000 acres of land along a 116-mile stretch of the river that has some people worried about federal tinkering with border. While the U.S. Bureau of Land Management (BLM) stated it is not expanding federal holdings along the river and is not involved in litigation between two landowners vying for the 140 acres, a lineup of lawmakers floated statements on the issue.

Gov. Rick Perry called what was going on a federal land grab. Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said what the BLM is doing makes his blood boil. Attorney General Greg Abbott blasted what he termed a “potential seizure of land that rightfully belongs to Texas landowners.” Agriculture Commissioner Todd Staples urged the BLM “to immediately cease any attempt to seize private lands from Texas citizens.” U.S. Congressional District 13 Rep. Mac Thornberry, RAmarillo, whose sprawling district includes those 116 miles, wrote to the BLM in January to head off the threat of potential losses to Texas landowners. In a reply to Thornberry dated March 17, a BLM official wrote “…there are no claims to Federal land south of the gradient bank of the river, and no claims to Federal land in the State of Texas as defined by multiple rulings of the U.S. Supreme Court.”

Bush was right, America knows how to fix the problems. Today, we need to stay committed to the steps that provide the solution. The first step is to seek the Lord. On that day, may we pray as one voice to the Lord asking for revival in our homes, communities, and our country. May we pray for the Lord’s protection and guidance.

AHS duo earns state berths at Region I-4A track meet Hall back to Austin, Marquez sets new 400 mark By MARk k. cAMPBeLL At a windy, sunny facility at Abilene’s McMurry University, two Azle athletes punched their tickets to the state track meet. It’ll be a return trip for pole vaulter Sarah Hall; last year, she claimed a bronze medal in Austin. Hornet Isaac Marquez shat-

tered the AHS school record when he ran a 400-meter lap in 49.9 seconds. That placed him second at the Region I-4A meet; the top two finishers claimed state berths. Strategy played a part in Hall’s success. After clearing 11 feet with two other competitors, the senior Lady Hornet

Hall said, “I made a strategic decision on skipping 11-3. It went fantastic.” Marquez cruised to the finish line in the prelmins, knowing his finals spot was secure. In the finals, he broke the high school record. Those were his two fastest times of the season, coach Mike Norwood said. The coach said the 4x400 team of Luke Leopold, Joseph Ehlmann, Colten Bagwell, and Marquez also peaked in Abilene. The foursome ran 3:22.45 in the prelims – AHS’ fastest time in 2013 – and 3:23 in the finals, finishing fifth. “I thought we performed about as well as we could,” Norwood noted. Other Azle competitors: Brooke Smith – pole vault, 8th, 10-0 Katy O’Dell – discus, 11th, 94-11 Tyler Shemberger – discus, 13th, 124-1 Paiton Cobb – triple jump, 13th, 32-10.25 Natalie Smith – high jump, 14th, 4-10 Emily Kolar, B.

When both missed three times at 12-3, Hall was declared the winner by virtue of fewer misses.

Softball ladies sweep Boswell in bi-district By MARk k. cAMPBeLL The Lady Hornet softball team made quick work of Boswell in AHS’ bi-district playoff series. Azle (29-5) easily won the first two games of the best-ofthree clash, 13-0 and 9-2.

The wins propelled the Lady Hornets into the Area round against Joshua. That series begins May 1. There was never any doubt right off the bat as to which bidistrict team was superior. Azle scored 8 runs in the first inning of the first game. The second Lady Hornet hitter, Valarie Matlock, swatted a homer and the runs starting pouring across the plate. While AHS was bashing out 12 hits, Azle hurler Makenzi Harris (13-3) limited Boswell to a single while striking out 9 Lady Pioneers at home. Lady Hornet Bailee Carter went 3-for-3 with 3 runs scored and 4 RBI. Two hits were doubles. One of Rebekah Teel’s 2 hits was a double and Samantha Bradley spanked a two-bagger, too. In game two at Boswell April 25, Azle built a 7-0 lead after three and a half innings. Bradley (15-2) got the win, fanning 10 batters. Nicole Aniasco scores in Sarah Brown, Teel, Carter, AHS’ big first inning. and Harris all had two hits;

Baseball season ends with wins The baseball Hornets kept up their end of the deal to reach the postseason. But needed help did not arrive. Azle (12-16-1, 7-7) finished the season on a torrid run, winning its final four district games. But AHS needed Brewer to beat Lake Dallas April 22 and that didn’t happen. So, even though the Hornets thumped the Falcons 4-1 in the last 5-4A game, Azle missed the playoffs. To keep hope alive, AHS needed to defeat Byron Nelson on the road April 22 and did so, 3-2, behind a solid pitching performance from Blake Hall. He went into the sixth inning before Sean Townsend came in Second baseman Tyler Albers fires to first while short- to save the game. stop Trent Walcott watches. Photo by Mark K. Campbell Azle tallied single runs in the

fourth, fifth, and sixth innings. Dalton Cole delivered a pair of RBI. Jesse Salisbury and Tyler Albers hit safely twice and scored 2 runs each. Trent Walcott got the Hornets’ other vital ribbie. Lake Dallas came to Azle on Senior Night, April 25; AHS won 4-1. Tommy Kay hurled a complete game, allowing just 3 hits and striking out 7 Falcons. Azle built a 4-0 lead after 4 innings. Trevor Boiles went 2-for-3 with 2 steals. Josh Hilton, Kyle Stowe, and Albers had RBI. Coach Anthony Barron said, “We finished strong. I am very proud of the way our guys competed. We are playing good baseball, but we just ran out of Hornet Blake Hall got the win in Azle’s 3-2 victory at time.” Byron Nelson. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

Movie Man

Wednesday, April 30, 2014

Guessing summer’s top 10: More than meets the eye This is a rare week – that happens every year – where the Movie Man skips a fi lm, puts on his prognosticating hat, and tries to ascertain what the top 10 movies of the upcoming summer season will be. It’s never perfect. There’s always some movie that seems to come out of nowhere and is a big hit. Like Ted (2012, Movie Man No. 989, a 3). That fi lm went on to land in the rarifi ed air of last summer’s top 10. This time, the Movie Man is factoring in the Seth McFarland effect (formerly the Adam Sandler Effect). But first: Last year’s guesses 10. Pacific Rim (gulp! [6]) 9. The Lone Ranger (d’oh!) 8. After Earth (yikes!) 7. The Wolverine (oops! [6]) 6. Despicable Me 2 [8] 5. Fast & Furious 6 [6] 4. Man of Steel [7] 3. Monsters University [5] 2. Star Trek into Darkness [7] 1. Iron Man 3 [6] Actual: 10. The Great Gatsby [5] 9. We’re the Millers [5] 8. The Heat [7] 7. World War Z 6. Star Trek into Darkness 5. Fast & Furious 6 4. Monsters University 3. Man of Steel 2. Despicable Me 2 1. Iron Man 3 The bad advance hype around World War Z kept the Movie Man away. (He went to Monsters University.) Two comedies hitting was a surprise – especially We’re the Millers. This summer’s biggies 10. A Million Ways to Die in the West This is McFarland’s latest comedy, a Western with his usual cultural references and juvenile humor. Still, there’s no denying the Family Guy’s clout and appeal.

He stars in this one. Expect the usual – lots of gross out, sophomoric gags with an occasional home run. It arrives May 30. 9. Guardians of the Galaxy So far, Marvel’s successful streak remains unbroken. This is a very weird, offbeat choice to continue the company’s domination. But the fanboys will still support it – especially since the alien “heroes” are rumored to become part of Avengers 3. Plus, Guardians’ coming attraction is funny. It hits theaters Aug. 1. 8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles There’s a huge fan base for the Turtles, too. Megan Fox (remember her?) returns as April and this time around, the Turtles are all computer generated. Michael Bay (we’ll talk about him more in a minute) is producing so look for some gigantic set pieces. Expect a big opening on Aug. 8. 7. Maleficent This Disney movie sounded goofy, even with a great casting of Angelina Jolie. Then the Movie Man saw the trailer which is pretty impressive. He expects the fi lm to tread the line between scary and fun – something Disney has perfected through the years. Enough tweens and Mommies will show up to make this a hit. It arrives May 30 like A Million Ways to Die in the West – it’s unusual for the Movie Man to choose a pair of Top 10ers from the same date, but it’ll likely happen. 6. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes The Movie Man’s a little concerned about the time between this sequel and the original reboot (2011, MM #942, 7). But, again, the coming attraction is superior and the buzz remains. Of all the Movie Man’s Top 10 guesses, this one’s chanciest; it could open big then fade. But there’s little else around it (see Possible Breakthroughs)

Then one night, I forgot to set the alarms, but Siri woke me up every three hours to take my medication.” Recognizing her aptitude for learning, Scarbro stepped up his efforts to teach and train her. “I taught her to always give others the right-of-way. When we came upon other people in Central Park, she would always stop and sit, giving them the right-of-way,” Scarbro said. “To test this, I took her off her leash a few times, and even What can I help you with?

tral Park when he met Scarbro. Scarbro admired Hidalgo’s shepherd pups and expressed his great interest in finding a service dog to help with the challenges he faces daily because of his health issues. He was adamant that he wanted a male. But Hidalgo also wanted the only unclaimed male to train as an S&R dog. Hidalgo invited Scarbro to visit his home, get to know the pups and see if any of them seemed to be the right dog for Scarbro’s needs. A few days after that meeting, Scarbro began to realize he was drawn to the smallest of the litter, a female. He called her Siri.

For example, he learned about Azle’s Animal Control officer, who showed up one day to talk to him about a reported ordinance violation. Someone had reported that Siri had been off her leash, which is not allowed. But he promised to keep her on her leash from then on, and there was no more trouble with the law. In the meantime, Siri was making friends of her own. They included pretty much any and every one at Central Park as well as an entire playground full of students at Azle Elementary – the old Rock School. “We spent a lot of time at

Service dog leaves behind fond memories ■ SERVICE, FROM PAGE 1B

Central Park, but we’d leave and go to the store often, taking Locust Street past the Rock School playground,” Scarbro said. “Siri could barely contain her excitement when she saw those kids playing.” In addition to her friendly, gentle demeanor toward all she met, Scarbro said her main motivation was his security. Siri brought him his medications and water to take them with, and helped Scarbro stand up from a chair. “But her devotion and dedication to me was her mission,” Scarbro said. “When I found her I could hardly put one foot in front of the other. She allowed me to function as a human being and to actually walk.” Scarbro calls fi nding Siri his finest achievement in life. Losing her was his great loss. The Rasmussen connection Mette Rasmussen, who is now “12 going on 20,” doesn’t miss a detail. A few weeks back, Mette called her mother, Lisa Rasmussen, shortly after Lisa had dropped Mette and big brother Kristoffer off at Central Park to train one of Mette’s dogs. “Mom. Did you see that German shepherd at the park? I know that dog is Lucy!” Mette hadn’t seen the pup she trained at LeRoy Hidalgo’s kennel in more than seven months. Lisa encouraged her daugh-

ter to strike up a conversation him her and her husband were with the dog’s owner under the Mette’s parents. The Rasmussens discovered watchful eye of big brother. Mette did exactly that – she that evening a man with an inmet Art Scarbro and his service credible story and the service dog that he now called Siri. She dog who was helping him in was the same dog Mette had his everyday life and struggles with his illness. worked with as a pup. But Art – who calls Mette “the Prodigy” and describes Other connections Lisa Thomas and her friend her as “sunlight coming down the path toward me” – already Penny Weeks walk together at knew of her from the stories least four days each week at Central Park. Hidalgo had told him. “Working out is hard, and I Art and Mette became instant don’t always want to go, but friends.

She saw his face of this,” she said. “Seeing him come to life when she told (Art) sitting in the park without her just breaks my heart.”

Lori Vining was another of Art and Siri’s “park buddies.” “I saw Art and Siri all the time at Central Park and you never saw one without the other. She brought so much joy to his life!” Vining said “Siri was so gentle and such a happy dog. She would always walk over to the side of the sidewalk and sit down so people walking or running could pass by. She loved everyone and loved the friendly words and pats everyone had for her. “One of the last times I saw her, she was playing ball with Art, playing fetch,” Vining said. “Apparently she loved it so much she would fetch the ball until she got sore – she never wanted to stop. She was so beautiful, the prettiest little German shepherd I ever saw.” A love without end, Amen Siri was just 13 months old when her earthly life ended that Thursday near the Lake Worth Starbucks, where she and Art had many friends. Her legacy, though, lives on through the many lives she touched and the relationships brought to life through her. Art laid Siri to rest on his family’s property, at the foot of the familiar yellow sign that proclaims “Jesus!” on FM 730 South leaving Azle. Those who knew Siri have struggled with her loss, none more than Art. “But even in her death, she brought people together,” Lisa Rasmussen said. “So many people wanted to help – so

Art and Siri many have shown up to help Art in his grief.” Kristoffer echoed his wife’s feelings, adding that Siri had brought Art from a near-hopeless state back into the land of the living. Hidalgo agreed, saying that when he fi rst met Art, he could barely walk as a result of his arthritis as well as a life story

that had left him questioning his life’s purpose. Siri changed all that. Amid the grief, there is hope. Art says he wants another service dog, although he’s not sure if he’ll ever have what he had with Siri. In the words of Lisa Rasmussen: “It doesn’t end here. This goes on and on. It’s Siri’s legacy.”
