About 150 people gathered at 404 W. Main Street Thursday, May 1, to observe the National Day of Prayer, sponsored by the Azle Ministerial Alliance. Those in attendance were treated to a free Chick-fi l-A boxed lunch and specially decorated cakes. Following welcoming remarks by Kim Ware, who chaired this year’s event, emcee for the day Pastor Tim Stevens of the Azle First Assembly of God Church delivered the invocation. The Azle Composite Squadron and Civil Air Patrol presented the colors. The National Anthem was sung by Serena Cornelius and Katie Ferguson followed with “God Bless America.” Both represented Azle Christian School. The crowd had fun as dozens of door prizes were handed out. Captain Gilbert J. Miller, Commanding Offi cer of Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base, was the keynote speaker for the event. Captain Miller provided a bird’s-eye view into the operations of the base as well as an education into U.S. military affairs, wrapped up in balanced delivery of wit, humor, experience, and thoughtful insight. Various church and community leaders led those in attendance in prayer for specifi c entities and people, including: • Ray Ivey, Colonel, U.S. Army (Ret.), who prayed for the U.S. military and its men and women.

The beat goes on... Buy your insurance policy now to avoid an early morning wakeup call... er, beat By CArlA NOAH STuTSMAN If you’re like most people, Saturday mornings are for sleeping in. But not Saturday, May 10, when the award-winning Azle Drumline will make numerous special appearances in yards throughout Azle. Most will be before sunup. These special performances are just the first of many fundraisers the drumline is planning in its quest to be in Dayton, Ohio, in the spring of 2015 for Winter Guard International (WGI) World Finals, where they Azle group placed 17th in 2013. If you’ve never heard the Azle drumline, rest (no pun intended) assured if they choose your lawn for a performance, not only will it awaken your household, but your whole neighborhood, as well. Each performance will continue until a donation is received. However, if you value your sleep, there is an insurance policy you can purchase, and it’s worth every bit of the $75 price tag. So if you want to ensure that you (and the neighbors) are not awakened to the sounds of “Wipeout” or something equally soothing, send or drop off your check to: AHS Band/Drumline 1200 Boyd Rd Azle, TX 76020 Checks should be made payable to: AHS Band Boosters. Of course, you’ll want to include your name and address printed clearly so the Drumline will know to avoid your yard. AHS Percussion Director Richard Kearns said the entire promotion is in good spirit to help raise funds to send the recent state champion AHS Drumline back to World Championships this coming year. Donations of any amount are gladly accepted and appreciated. If you choose not to purchase insurance, you might want to stash some cash near the front door Friday night. Just sayin’...

4th Annual Azle ISD Showcase set May 22 In four years, it’s become the largest academic fair in Tarrant County By CARLA NoAH STUTSMAN The 4th Annual Azle ISD Showcase is slated for 6-8 p.m. Thursday, May 22, at Azle High School, and if the first three Showcases are any indication, the fourth will not disappoint. The Showcase features students from all grade levels “showcasing” their favorite lessons taught by teachers this school year. According to AISD Curriculum Director Tanya Anderson, every grade level and almost every subject will be represented at Showcase. Based on historic information, more than 1,000 students, teachers and volunteers will participate directly in the Showcase. Between 5,000 and 7,000 people are expected to attend the event, making it the largest academic fair in Tarrant County. Exhibits at the Showcase will be found in multiple gyms, the indoor practice facility, the auditorium, and the mall area of Azle High School, according to AISD Director of Operations Skip McCambridge. A shuttle will transport visitors from overflow parking located at Forte Junior High on Sandy Beach Road, to Azle High School at School. AISD officials are working toward providing some golf cart shuttles on AHS property that night, as well, McCambridge said. A three-minute video from the 2013 Azle ISD Showcase can be viewed at http://youtu.be/Jhw8Ms-4BkE.

Dechert tourney successful again The 8th Annual Sid Dechert Memorial Golf Tournament went into the books as another success. The annual fundraiser, named for long time Azle resident, city council member and supporter Sid Dechert, was held at Cross Timbers Golf Course Wednesday, April 30. The tourney was sponsored by State Representative Charlie Geren and O.Z. Helmer, Jr., DDS. Dechert, who did not play golf, believed nonetheless that a golf course in the community of Azle was an asset and motivated a group of volunteers who worked countless hours at Cross Timbers painting fences, weeding flower beds, landscaping greens and fairways and anything else that needed to be done. Over the years, the Sid Dechert Memorial Fund and volunteers have provided a new pavilion, replaced deteriorating siding and roof on part of the cart barn, purchased water fountains for the pond at the clubhouse, built a low water crossing on the 18th fairway,

purchased a storage building and flat screen TVs for clubhouse use and widened, upgraded and extended several cart paths throughout the course. The tournament is the Memorial Funds cornerstone fundraiser. Hole sponsors for this year’s event were Rural Gas Supply, the Body Exchange and Pinnacle Bank. Complete Energy Services was the luncheon sponsor. The winning team: Lester Miller, Claude Conwell, James Prince, and Kelly Pierce. The team of Jim Broome, Andy Fulfer, Dave Bowen, and Larry Sikes took second place. Tim Armstrong was the winner of the putting contest. Event organizer Shirley Dechert expressed her gratitude for the event sponsors as well as all the golfers who participated in the tournament. Proceeds from the tournament will be used to install a new putting green at the course to enhance the ambiance and provide additional putting space.

Got Guts?

INSIDE DIGEST Boy Scouts sign up newcomers Young men looking to join Boy Scouts should contact or text Pat Washburn at 817-939-4823. Scouts will learn skills in leadership, team building, rock climbing, rappelling, camping, hiking, computer, and engineering among other objectives. All 220 7th graders at Azle Junior High School, along with science teachers Amy Thompson and Darrell Barron, wrapped up a unit on the human body systems by painting their guts on t-shirts. The students really enjoyed expressing their creativity by designing their perfect “guts” shirt, teachers said. “It was rewarding as a teacher to see the students taking pride and being truly engaged in the designing and painting of their shirts,” said Thompson. “I have already seen students wearing it outside of school, which makes me smile inside and out.

C andidate Q uestionnaire 2014 Mr. Doyle’s response was not published in last week’s Azle News. Here it is, along with the reprinting of the Place 2 candidate’s responses.

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 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, Damon Bethurum 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 potential 5. We need to address the issue of growth for our school district and also ensure that our soon-to-be-graduates are prepared for a trade if they are not attending college.

1. Why are you running for office? 2. What can the council do to make Azle ISD 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 the Azle ISD? 5. What’s the biggest issue facing Azle ISD? Clay Doyle 1. To continue the work that we have begun on the Board to see that every child in the Azle ISD gets a great education and ready for the world ahead of them. 2. To continue to address issues that our parents, teachers, administrators, and kids have. The world is changing every day, and education needs to stay in-step with those demands. Technology is opening up our kids’ worlds to see more and learn more about what the subject matter is. As a Board, we stay in-tune with what our teachers, administrators, and parents’ ideas, concerns, questions may be. We then try to craft the best decisions we can around that and make sure it is in the kids and district’s best interests. 3. I am a lifelong resident of Azle, and graduated AHS in 1999. I have a Bachelors of Science Degree in Communications from Tarleton State University. I am a Credit Analyst for the National Bank of Texas. My mother is a retired FWISD administrator; my sister was also a teacher for the FWISD. My father is a retired banker in the Azle/Springtown area. I have extended family who

Area Candidates Azle Independent School District Place 1: Erik Loeffelholz, incumbent Place 2: Damon Bethurum Clay Doyle, incumbent are also teachers in the district and other area districts as well. I draw on my mother’s, sister’s, and others’ teaching experience to understand and see how decisions will affect the schools. When dealing with fiscal matters, I draw on mine and my father’s experience in banking to make sure that sound fiscal decisions are being made for the district. 4. We have many good things going on with the Azle ISD! From our kids’ academic and athletic achievements to the honors and recognitions our teachers and administrators receive. From graduating seniors receiving military academy appointments to our school nurses saving lives with the AED’s, there is a lot of good news coming from here. Our teachers continue to inspire our kids and motivate them to excel at every challenge posed to them. I greatly admire and appreciate every teacher in the Azle ISD for the tireless work and effort that put in day after day. With the passage of our recent bond package, a new Career and Technology Education center, a new competition gym and fire suppression system will be added to AHS. Azle will still have the lowest tax rate of any local school district in the area. With the new CTE center, our kids in the automotive, industrial arts and agricultural programs will have bigger and new work spaces and equipment. The indoor practice facility at AHS is not only being used by our high school athletes but by our Marching Green Pride band, color guard, and Emerald Dazzlers drill team as well. Our junior high schools and middle schools are doing very well. And our elementary schools are doing exceptionally well also. 5. I believe the biggest issue facing the Azle ISD is the State of Texas. Whether it be in the way school funding or testing standards or general rules, regulations and/or laws governing the education system of the state, we face challenges in our management awaiting to see what comes from Austin. Long term planning is sometimes difficult to do when waiting on the legislature to decide on issues. Another issue that Azle ISD will be facing soon is population growth and putting future plans together to accommodate that growth with infrastructure. When Austin gives us solid information to build future plans from, then we can start planning proper long term forecasts and infrastructure demands on our district. Getting our kids ready for the ever changing world ahead of them is another challenge we as a district face as well.

C andidate Q uestionnaire 2014 Tish Allen’s response was not published in last week’s Azle News. Here it is, along with the reprinting of the Place 2 candidate’s responses.

Pelican Bay Place 2 Tish Allen 1. The main reason I decided to run was to provide a voice to the citizens of Pelican Bay – a voice that is not a voice influenced by a personal agenda. My family is here, I raise my three children here and I care for the city as I have for a while, not just one person’s feelings. I know I can provide an objective voice that will serve the needs of the community and not just the needs of one. 2. The city council of Pelican Bay needs to listen to the community, see what the issues are Tish Allen and act on them with the entire community in mind. The council needs to work together for the citizens and stop the bickering. If the council doesn’t act as one voice, the community suffers. 3. I’m a stay-at-home mom with a background in business (property) management, and as a medical assistant.

1. Why are you running for office? 2. What can the council do 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? Reno City Council Place 3

The biggest issue facing Pelican Bay right now is public cooperation that we enjoy with safety and public works as well as providing community activi- this council team. It is actually ties for everyone. In order to provide quality services that people a pleasure to serve, and I look expect, we must invest in each endeavor as a community, and not forward to the meetings.

I didn’t want to enter this arena in ignorance, so I enrolled at Tarrant County Junior College in a Texas State and Local Government class. I have been an avid defender of the U. S. Constitution and personal liberty of all citizens. I believe in small government, low taxes and personal freedom, and will do whatever I can to accomplish these things. 4. Reno has such a rich history. I like the fact that we are rural, but still a close community. The citizens care about each other, and are willing to help their neighbors. We now have a great Police Department, Volunteer Fire Department, Municipal Court, Water and Street Department; and we are blessed with exceptional workers such as Joe Polino, the mayor’s “right hand man,” Walt Leonard, our City Attorney, and all our city staff. Our Mayor, Lynda Stokes, is doing an excellent job to keep the city moving forward. 5. We still have much work to do with our streets and roads. We have ongoing “conversations” with drilling companies over the damage to our roads, but I feel there will be a compromise reached soon. Gilbert Morrow 1. I want to help promote a better way of life for all in Reno, and to hopefully reduce spending and cut taxes; a welcome thing to all citizens I believe.

only to realize that someone forgot to buy the horse first. Meaning there are citizens needs and concerns such as the 65 year or older tax freeze that should have been in the tax code from the very beginning and providing services for the $1.1 million budget the current council wants. I agree with Art Johnson and Condie Prioleau about the tax money going in but not the right things being done for the citizens. 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. G.G. “Randy” Martin, III 1. I want to bring a level playing field for all citizens and to be a positive influence for both the council and the citizens. To remove the three minute limit restriction the council has imposed on the citizens of Reno, and to help make Reno proud of its council in all aspects by making better choices and keeping the citizens up

and a superintendent. During the course of my oil-field experience I entered in a family oil-field rental business, a roustabout business, and a welding service business. The success of these was achieved because of the work schedule; which was a 7 day on and 7 day off routine. Later, when the schedule became a 30 days overseas on and 30 days off routine, I used the time off to expand my personal success in business. When the oil-field came to a stop in the 1980’s I continued on in the oil-field welding business until I got hurt from a tank blast and was off for a short time. I then re-entered the structural moving service, moving mobile homes, houses, buildings, etc. to support my family and myself. I have always been a business man engaged in working for the public and serving the public in one way or the other since I was a kid. I have never filed bankruptcy even through the toughest years of business. I always paid my bills. I have since gone back and gotten my G.E.D. and graduated from Weatherford College. I attended Mike Jones Auctioneer School and passed. I joined the Texas Association of Structural Moving (TASM) in the early 90’s, became a member, served as director on the board, and later as the vice-president of the board. I have also served as a member on the House Movers Museum Board. I served a term in office as the Mayor of the City of Reno, Parker County in 2007, and I know I can be a positive influence on our city council. I have lived in Reno since 1998 and I am currently the president of Just Right Transportation Service Inc. located in Azle. My wife, Judy, and I have seven kids and 39 grandchildren. I’m pro-life, a proud member of the NRA , and a life member of the Texas State Rifle Association. The experience I have as a businessman and in serving the public will be a positive influence to the City of Reno and the council. dated through a working web site and newsletter to the citizens of I always look for solutions to issues.

3. My background experience starts when I first went to work for my Dad in the structural moving business as early as 7 years of age. I then worked at Hugh Moore’s gas station for two summers and weekends to buy my first car; a 1960 Volkswagen Beetle. Boy, was I proud of that. At the age of 15, I worked at Buddies #3 grocery store in Ft. Worth, stocking and sacking groceries. I got married at the age of 16 and went to work in the oilfield profession from 16 to the age of 27. During that time I was trained in oil-field related skills such as H2s gas training, Key Man Drillers Course, Red Cross First Aid and Instructor, Dale Carriage’s Effective Speaking Course, and Hartford Loss Control Time Management Training Course. I worked as a floor hand, a derrick hand, a driller, a safety engineer, a rig manager,

5. I want to get the Parker County Sheriff’s Department to be more pro-active with the City of Reno and making crime control a real priority for everyone. We need a team that shares info between the city and county as a whole. I will get the political agendas out of the way and start serving the people and start fighting crime in the county as a whole for everyone. We all want a safe place to live. I will get communications to the people by informing the citizens of where they’re at on everything from taxes and budgets to roads and water. They really need to have a newsletter that goes out and more public forum to get people involved and working on the real problems and coming up with solutions that are positive for the citizens of Reno.

Joshua swept, Brewer rematch next up By MARK K. CAMPBeLL Another round of the playoffs and another quick victory for the Lady Hornet softball team. Azle (31-5) bashed Joshua 10-1 and 8-2 to sweep the bestof-three Area round series. Next up for the Lady Hornets is a familiar foe – district mate Brewer. Led by former AHS coach Vera Ortega, the Lady Bears dealt Azle a rare loss and its only 5-4A defeat. The best-of-three series will be conducted at the Saginaw Chisholm Trail HS diamond May 8-10. In the first game of the Joshua series, Azle dogpiled the visitors quickly. On May 1, the Lady Hornets raced out to a 9-0 lead after just four innings. Back-to-back three run bursts to open the game buried the

AHS duo off to Austin seeking state track gold

Azle athletes earn mat victories High school wrestling might be over but local athletes are still competing – and competing well. Vying in freestyle GrecoRoman at the UTA Maverick Open, several Azle wrestlers placed. Reigning UIL state champion Jesse Grubbs took the gold at 172 pounds. Also golden was Ruby Ariosa at 97 pounds. Youth athletes also impressed. Trevor Russell won in freestyle. Hunter Stringer finished second while Mason Middlebrooks was third in Greco, coach Chris Allen noted. In other boys events, Tyler Tanner won at the cadet freestyle level and was third in Greco Juniors. Skylar Russell finished second in freestyle at 132. Dillon Thomas was third at that weight. Tommy Pinson missed placing at 138 in Greco by one match. Coach Allen said, “Overall, it was a good effort.” For the year, Azle wrestlers have collected 40-plus medals.

With wet weather possible Friday, May 9 during Hall’s 1:30 p.m. start, the medal chase could be up for grabs. AHS girls coach Melody Dennis said, “It really will depend on who is mentally tough and focused on that day. “Sarah is a seasoned competitor, and I am confident she will compete to the best of her

ability. She has a mental toughness and the skill to win it all.” Marquez, a junior, races in the 400-meter dash at 7:45 that evening. He comes into state with the ninth fastest time, but it came in a howling wind in Abilene. Coach Mike Norwood said, “There are some guys who have run 47.6, but I don’t think anyone ran in a stronger wind then we did. “There is no doubt in my mind that he will run to win it. Isaac is a competitor.”

Lady Bears a familiar foe n LADY, FROM PAGE 10A.

Lady Owls early. A quick, big blow came when Makenzi Harris cranked a home run. Bailee Carter and Valarie Matlock both scored 3 runs apiece. Harris (15-3) earned the complete game victory. At Joshua the next day, Friday, May 2, a rarity occurred: Azle actually trailed 2-0 briefly. But the Lady Hornets quickly put up 7 runs up in the next two innings to effectively decide the series. Samantha Bradley (16-2) picked up the victory; she struck out 8 while allowing only 5 hits. Five Lady Hornets got 2 hits each: Rebekah Teel (both were doubles), Raelyn Temple, Hannah Rezabek, Harris, and Carter. The Area round victory moved Azle to the regional quarterfinals against Brewer.

Turning down for what by starting from the bottom

nce again, we are delving into today’s youth as – like generations of old people (over 30) before us – we can claim with absolutely certainty that this group of young ‘uns is the worst ever. Especially when it comes to music. If you Bible Decode the Revelation, you will likely find words like “Miley Cyrus” and “Gaga.” Yes, decoders from prior generations uncovered “MTV” and before that “Beatles” and the one before that “Frankie” (Sinatra), but we’re right this time! That brings us to “Turn Down for What.” It was only by a freak of nature that I stumbled upon this song by DJ Snake and Lil’ Jon. Somehow I passed

by a modern music station and there was “Turn Down for What” in all its catchiness. And I mean catchy. Even though I’m from a generation that reveled such dense lyrics as “They’re coming to take me away! Ha! Ha! Hee! Hee!” and “One- eyed, one-horned flying purple people eater” – everything wasn’t Dylan – I was clueless when it came to what “turn down the what” could mean. So, I consulted that beacon of interpreting what kids are saying today, the online Urban Dictionary. True, it’s about as reliable as Wikipedia only with a lot more cuss words, but the phrase was there. Here’s what the site said “turn down for what” means: “a rhetorical question used by teenagers. ‘Turn up’ is the act of getting drunk or high and

being reckless. So ‘turn down’ would mean sobering up.” And what invincible 19 year old wants to stop having fun – turn down for what, indeed. Each genON YOUR eration has a song like this. MARK Remember Mark K. Campbell “Rock and Roll All Nite” (where you were encouraged to “party every day.”) What about “Fight for Your Right” (to party!)? How many parents tripped over their kids listen-

ing to KISS and the Beastie Boys? Here is the entirety of the lyrics to “Turn Down for What”: Fire up your loud. Another round of shots. Fire you up. Turn down for what. That’s it. There’s another aspect to the popular dance tune: the video. Any adult with kids over 10 will be mortified to see the video. It’s a comedic grind-athon with wild youngs ‘uns (and eventually adults) gyrating non-stop. You might want to keep a closer eye on your six-year-old angel if he/she’s going around belting out “turn down for what!” Anyway, this is another chance to mess with your kids. This summer, maybe change the oil

or dust the cupboard while lying in wait, and when the teens pass, whip around and shout “Turn down for what!” They’ll love it. Even better…make it your ringtone. Kids enjoy nothing more than their parents/grandparents trying to be hip. And, when they get tired of you bellowing “Turn down for what!” in front of their friends or when ya’ll are at Starbucks, you can always switch to the other groovy song out right now, “Started from the Bottom” which contains the line “started from the bottom now we’re here!” You might want to avoid the explicit version, though. After all, you are the adult. In theory. Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and that might be the most confusing headline ever.

Letter to the editor One day, God will judge the Obama administration Dear Editor: As one recreant pastor once quipped: “The chickens have some home to roost.” By the way, that pastor is our president’s spiritual advisor. Emails have been recently released concerning the hours before and hours after the terrorist attack on our embassy in Libya on Spet. 11, 2011 that killed our ambassador and three other brave Americans. So, too, was sworn testimony from a retired deputy chief forieign affairs

officer (a retired Air Force general). This so-call YouTube video of an anti-Muslim film was a ruse by President Obama and his loyal minions to win an election. And, even more disturbing, was the much reported “whereabouts” of our Commader-in-Chief when America was under attack. Was he in the situation war room with his generals? Oh, no! It’s now known that our brave commander-in-chief was too busy to do what he took an oath to do – “protect the country.” Mr. Obama had a more important task to do and that was to prepare for an upcoming presidential debate. How shameful for a man to put poli-

tics ahead of national security. But I believe that this is not the more visceral and wrenching narrative shared by me and millions of others. Moreover, it’s a good percentage of the voting populace who has the backbone of a Slinky toy and put their greed and self-interest above national security. They will not forsake this nonsense. It’s all about their “free stuff.” I truly believe that God will have the final say of this baleful administration and America will stand strong once again. Joseph L. Bryan Fort Worth

Did Annie Oakley offer to lead women into war?

omeone told me that Annie Oakley tried to volunteer for the Spanish-American War and intended to bring other women with her whom she had trained to shoot. I decided to check it out. Remember, she was the young sharpshooter who traveled with Buffalo Bill's Wild West Show. Born August 13, 1860 in a rural log cabin in western Ohio, she was named Phoebe Ann Moses and called “Annie” by family. Her parents had been Quakers in Pennsylvania, and Annie was the sixth of seven children. Her father died when she was only six. Her mother married again, but she was widowed again. When Annie was nine, she and a sister were put in a “poor farm.” Soon those in charge “bound her out” to a family who only wanted her for the work she could do. Once, the wife put her outdoors in freezing weather with no shoes because she fell asleep while doing the darning.

THE

When later reunited with her family at age eleven, she began hunting to help support the family. She sold the game to restaurants in the town of Greenville, Ohio. By the time she was fifteen, she had helped pay off the mortgage to her mother's farm. People all around knew of her shooting skills. On Thanksgiving Day, 1875, Francis (Frank) E. Butler, age 25, was in Cincinnati to perform his marksmanship traveling act. He told a hotel owner that he would bet $100 that he could outshoot any local the hotel owner could find to put up against him. The man knew about Annie. Out of 25 shots each, Annie hit all 25, but Butler missed his last shot. (The thought just occurred to me that he could have missed that last shot on purpose!) Although he was ten years older than the 15-year-old Annie, he began courting her. They married August 23, 1876, and lived in Cincinnati for a while. When they later began performing together, she took the name Oakley; some believe it came from the neigh-

borhood in Cincinnati where they lived. In 1885 they joined Buffalo Bill Cody's Wild West Show. Once when Sitting Bull, the Sioux Chief, saw her shoot, he called her “Little Sure She PAGES FROM Shot.” only five WESTERN was feet tall. The HISTORY show toured and J’Nell L. Pate Europe, she and Frank performed before Queen Victoria in England, and the heads of state of Italy and France, among others. The German Kaiser Willhelm II, at his request, held a cigarette for her as she shot off its ashes. (Years later the statement surfaced and was widely circulated that if she had

shot the Kaiser and not his cigarette, she might have prevented World War I.) Annie was so proficient with her gun she could snuff out a candle, hit dimes tossed in the air, shoot corks off bottles, and split a playing card held edge-out. In the show she shot a cigar that Frank held in his teeth. Annie earned more money than any performer in the show other than Cody himself. She was the first real superstar in the U.S. Annie and Frank performed with the Buffalo Bill Show for nearly 17 years. In 1901 they were in a train accident, and she had five spinal operations. When she recovered, she was offered a stage play written for her called The Western Girl in which she used her guns to catch outlaws. In 1904 a burlesque performer was arrested for cocaine use, and she falsely gave her name as “Annie Oakley.” News stories thus libeled the real Annie, and she spent six years and won 54 out of 55 lawsuits to clear her name.

Annie and Frank retired and enjoyed hunting, giving shooting lessons to women and performing for charity events. She died November 3, 1926 of pernicious anemia at the age of 66. Frank, her husband of 50 years, died 18 days later. Some say he was so distraught that he quit eating. All their fortune had been spent on family and charities. She has been inducted into the National Cowgirl Hall of Fame in Fort Worth. Of the sources I checked about her offer to train women for war, three said it was for World War I. One of them cited both the Spanish-American War and World War I. When the U.S. government ignored her offer for the latter, she instead gave shooting demonstrations at army camps to raise money for the Red Cross. I wonder if she came to Camp Bowie, located on the west side of Fort Worth?

Please: Take time to look twice for motorcycles

riday, July 19, 2013 had been ordinary in every way. A Lakeside woman continued her campaign against “bandit signs.” A “ghost” Buzzy was being installed in the new turf at Hornet Field. Vinny and the Jets were set to play in the Music in the Park Summer Concert Series. And Texas Health Azle won an award. I was also working on the story about Shorty Robinson’s remains being found in his front yard in Pelican Bay, where his wife had buried him after cutting his throat. Okay, that one was a bit unusual. I was looking forward to the weekend. About 10:30 that night, I went onto my back porch to smoke a cigarette before bed. Little did I know that less than a month later I would smoke my last one after 38 years of steady puffing. I took the equipment I carry with me at all times: iPhone,

iPad, police scanner. Call me a techno-junkie, but I like to be informed at all times. With Dad in the nursing home, the phone is always on and usually hooked to my belt loop with the ever-handy Cliphanger (contact me for a 5-star review of this handy gadget). Even when I sleep, those tools are on – volume set on high – within reach on my nightstand. Anyway, I smoked, scrolled through Facebook on the iPad, and enjoyed a steamy July evening. About 11 p.m., as I was thinking of packing it all up to head to bed, the scanner began emitting its all-too-familiar tones. A recent switch from local police dispatch to Tarrant County Fire Alarm dispatch on the part of the Azle Fire Department had brought about some differences in the tones, and I still had to listen carefully to figure out which department was being called out. That night, it was the Eagle Mountain Fire Department. EMFD works a lot in the Azle

sister, Darla. Oh, no. Something is wrong with Dad. “Darla? What’s wrong?” I heard her draw a deep, ragged breath before she spoke. “Marc was in a motorcycle accident last night on Boat Club Road. He didn’t make it.” Marc is the youngest of my sister’s three sons, but only by ten minutes. He’s an identical twin. He and his twin brother, Mike, had turned 29 that March. Marc had left his wife, Kortney, and 5-year-old daughter, Saydee, at home that night when he headed to the store – literally for a pack of cigarettes. That fact stuck with me, and I quit smoking a few weeks later. Our family’s grief has been unspeakable, but we’re hanging in there. It’s important for me to say that I don’t hate motorcycles – even now. I grew up with a father who loves anything with wheels or wings and an engine. Fast cars, motorcycles, airplanes, gokarts – you name it and we rode

it. They’re fun, when they’re operated properly and safely. But motorcycles are hard to see on the road. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve been surprised – or had the stuffing scared out of me – by a motorcycle while driving. Responsible motorcyclists are everywhere, and God bless them. In my mind, they have every right to enjoy the road. But irresponsible motorcyclists are out there, too, and it’s every other motorist’s job to be on the lookout for both types. Not because it’s a law, but because every motorcyclist is someone’s son, nephew, husband...Daddy. Maybe even Mommy. May is National Motorcycle Awareness Month. I have two requests. 1. Look twice for motorcycles. 2. Live every day like there is no tomorrow. There may not be. Carla Noah Stutsman is a News reporter and would give anything for just one more hug from Marc Stepich.

Toyota picks Plano for North America headquarters

oyota Motor Corporation on April 28 announced its decision to locate the headquarters of Toyota Motor North America headquarters to Plano. Toyota said the move is “designed to better serve customers and position Toyota for sustainable, long-term growth.” Within the next three years, Toyota’s three separate North American headquarters for manufacturing, sales and marketing and corporate operations will relocate to a single, stateof-the-art campus in Plano, just north of Dallas. Toyota’s North American finance arm also plans to move its headquarters to this new, shared campus. Altogether, these moves will affect about 4,000 employees, Toyota said. Gov. Rick Perry said Toyota is making a $300 million capital investment in the move and the state has offered Toyota an incentive of $40 million through the Texas Enterprise Fund. “We’re proud that both the

Tundra and Tacoma bear the words ‘Made in Texas’ and we’re excited our state will be the nexus for Toyota’s North American operations moving forward,” Perry said, adding that Toyota's Texas operations presently include its $2.3 billion manufacturing facility in San Antonio that supports 2,900 jobs, and combined with its 21 on-site suppliers, Toyota supports 6,000 jobs in San Antonio. Grand jury probe begins A Travis County grand jury assigned with a special prosecutor convened in mid-April to examine Gov. Rick Perry’s veto last year of legislation to fund the state’s Public Integrity Unit, a division of the Travis County district attorney’s office tasked with investigating public corruption. Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, who heads the Public Integrity Unit, was arrested for drunken driving in April 2013, pleaded guilty, served half of a 45-day jail sentence and was released.

“By upholding the EPA-written Cross-State Air Pollution Rule and overturning a lower court decision, the Supreme Court has made it increasingly difficult to burn coal to produce electricity,” according to a Railroad Commission statement published the day the court rendered its decision. “Going forward, natural gas, renewables and nuclear energy must shoulder an even bigger load in order to ‘keep the lights on’ cheaply and reliably in Texas, and throughout America,” the agency further stated, adding, “As a result of today’s holding, some coal-fired power plants may be forced to limit or shut down operations.” Supreme Court Justices Antonin Scalia and Clarence Thomas cast the dissenting votes in the 6-2 decision.

ESD1 honors its B.E.S.T. Wander award created, bestowed by carla noah stutsman A new format and a newly created award shook things up a bit during the annual Parker County Emergency Services District 1 awards banquet, held at Springtown High School Saturday evening, May 3. The event has followed tradition in the past, with a few remarks followed by a sit-down, catered meal, a keynote speaker and finally, the presentation of awards. This year, the event started earlier and led off with a meetand-greet hour featuring heavy hors oeuvres – enough for a

meal for most people – in the school’s cafeteria. Then everyone moved into the auditorium where a video presentation depicting the activities of firefighters from all five stations within the district during 2013. The “house” awards were presented next. Those receiving top honors from each station included:

Sheriff warns of ID fraud scam Parker County Criminal Investigation Division is investigating a case of identification theft and fraud in which merchandise was recovered. Sheriff’s investigators believe the items were purchased with a stolen credit card. Sheriff Larry Fowler said a local woman contacted his department after she grew suspicious of activity an acquaintance requested of her. On April 16, the woman reported she met a man on a website who began sending her gifts. As an online relationship progressed, the man began sending her additional expensive gifts for men, women and children, requesting her to send them to an address located out of the country. The woman voluntarily turned the items over to the Sheriff’s Office. The items include a 55” TV, two gold and diamond rings, three gold necklaces with jewels, about one dozen items of women’s, men’s and children’s clothing, three pairs of shoes, and two smart phones. Sheriff’s investigators said the case is typical of those associated with identity theft by

stealing someone’s credit card and purchasing items over the Internet. Once the suspect gains the trust of a victim, they have the items shipped to the victim’s address. The suspect(s) ask the victim to send the items to another address outside of the United States, leaving all traces of the merchandise leading back to the victim. Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said the incident is a typical scam case, where victims may feel flattered or special, placing their trust with the suspect. Fowler said most often, the suspects sell the items for profit overseas. “It’s a cycle which takes advantage of people, using them as their ‘go-to person’ in the scam,” Fowler said. “We want to make the public aware of these scams and caution them against associating with persons they are not commonly familiar with. “These sorts of actions should be a red flag to individuals who conduct business over the Internet or anyone who meets people through Internet sites, especially if you are not the one making initial contact.”

a half later. Randall Sloan, 25, of Azle was arrested May 2 by Parker County Sheriff’s deputies for a warrant for injury to a child, the elderly, or disabled with intended serious bodily injury or mental anguish. As of May 5 he was held in the Parker County Jail in lieu of $50,000 bond. Officers from the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department arrested a 37-year-old Springtown man for a Johnson County warrant for failure to appear in court. He was released to Johnson County authorities May 6. A 19-year-old Azle man was

arrested May 3 by Reno police and charged with possession of a controlled substance – penalty group 1, less than one gram. He also had active Reno warrants for failure to appear in court, expired inspection sticker, and speeding. As of May 5 he was held in the Parker County Jail in lieu of $8,295 bond. John Anthony Reason, 44, of Springtown was arrested May 3 by Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers and charged with DWI, second offense. He posted $2,500 bond and was released from the Parker County Jail on May 4.
