Burglar given max sentence by carla noah stutsman A 52-year-old Azle man was convicted Wednesday, June 11 in a Parker County courtroom for burglarizing an Azle home last year. Jerry Shad Robbins was sentenced to 18 years in prison for the crime. According to Parker County Assistant District Attorney (ADA) Jeff Swain, who tried the case along with ADA Abigail Placke, jurors listened to the 911 call made by a young woman inside the home on March 1, 2013. The terrified caller told a dispatcher Robbins was smashing her front door in with a fence post driver. “It’s not very often that we catch burglars in the act or right after they break into a house,” said Swain. “Azle PD had a very quick response time and, due to the detailed description of the suspect and his vehicle provided A tractor trailer carrying a load of rocks ended up in the median at the intersection of Highway 199 and Jay Bird Lane June 17.

Azle school district: There’s no fun in fundraising by carla noah stutsman From elementary school Parent Teacher Organizations (PTOs) to sports teams, bands, and clubs, cash is needed to fund school district activities, equipment, supplies and more. We’ve all been asked to purchase anything and everything from cookie dough to candles, and from meats to seats, and it’s always for a worthy cause. The item – 9. Discuss, consider and deliberate revisions to police FJ (local) Gifts and Solicitations – looked innocuous enough on the agenda for the Monday, June 16 meeting of the Azle Independent School District’s Board of Trustees. But it generated one of the liveliest discussions in recent history.

Fundraising is a must in schools – it provides items that cannot be provided from schools’ budgets, including everything from playground equipment, office equipment, supplies, and even travel expenses for trips and competitions. But there are concerns: What’s the best way to accomplish fundraising? How can the school district keep kids safe when raising funds? How much fundraising is too much? And if fundraising is limited, where will money for unbudgeted items come from? Trustee Erik Loeffelholz said that while the entities in and around Azle do a good job of fundraising, he wonders how it all impacts the large number of families whose children receive

In fact, Trustee Sam Merck remembered the limitation of fundraisers initially started years ago when a man with 11 grandchildren stepped forward to ask for some relief. “’I can’t afford to buy from every one of them,’” Merck recalled the man saying. “But how can I tell one ‘yes’ and tell another one ‘no’?” Merck said that, as a longtime business owner, he knows what the solicitations for money can be like. “They (people raising funds) come in my door all the time,” Merck said. “But if we’re going to limit fundrais-

Lane appointed a committee to be headed by Loeffelholz and including Hart, Merck, and Smith to study the fundraising situation. He instructed them to consult with principals at the elementary campuses and consider their ideas and input before reporting back at the next board meeting scheduled for July 29.

ing, we need to come up with some alternatives because this provides a tremendous amount of funding.” In fact, thousands of dollars per year are raised per campus as a result of a battery of fundraisers. Trustee Shannon Hart expressed his frustration at the excitement that gets built up in young students by the professionals with various fundraising companies about the prizes kids can earn if they sell enough items. But the number of items that must be sold to earn that prize is often not realistic for a child to meet, Hart feels. Hart further said he’s been asking people what they think of fundraisers and the large majority says they think it would be great to get rid of them entirely. Other concerns expressed during the

replaced, according to Val Lopez, a spokesman for the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). While the bridge is still considered safe for motorists, Lopez said it has been declared structurally deficient by his agency and as such, will be replaced at an estimated cost of $1 million. Bridges that are deemed structurally deficient simply require more monitoring, inspections, and maintenance but remain safe for travel, Lopez stressed. “We have found that the quickest, easiest way to accomplish bridge replacements such as this one is to close it down, demolish, and rebuild it,” Lopez said “This causes the least impact to the motorists who use that route.” Lopez said his agency has already reached out to fire, emergency medical, and law enforcement agencies including Azle, Lake Worth, and Fort Worth to advise them of the upcoming road closure. Although homeowners may have to alter their usual routes depending upon which side of the bridge they are located, they will continue to have access to their homes. Through traffic, however, will be detoured to one of two alternate routes, depending upon their destinations. One alternate route will be from Confederate Park Road (aka FM 1886) north to SH 199, then east to Loop 820.

The second alternate route will be west on Confederate Park Road to Cattlebaron Drive, then south on Cattlebaron to White Settlement Road, and finally east on White Settlement Road to Loop 820, Lopez said. TxDOT plans to let for bidding this fall. Once those bids come in, a contractor will be selected. Six to eight weeks later, after the contractor has gathered personnel and materials, construction will begin, according to Lopez. That makes for a “late fall” time frame for shutting the bridge down. A second bridge along the same route that crosses Live Oak Creek, south of Silver Creek, has also been determined to be structurally deficient. However, that bridge is currently going through a federally-mandated environmental evaluation. Plus, TxDOT says there is currently no funding to replace the Live Oak Creek bridge. The environmental process is timeconsuming, Lopez said, and letting for bids to replace the Live Oak Creek Bridge will not occur until sometime next year at the earliest. That means Silver Creek Road will most likely be shut down a second time in the foreseeable future for another bridge replacement. So, for now, enjoy that drive on Silver Creek Road while you can.

Two from Azle on OU list A pair of Azle High School graduates earned berths on the University of Oklahoma’s honor roll rosters for the spring semester. Kristina M. Luetkemeyer aced every class – earning a 4.0 grade point average – and claimed a spot on OU’s highest list, the President’s Honor Roll.

To earn a place on this roster, students must carry at least 12 hours as full-time students. Azle’s William H. Collins landed on the Dean’s Honor Roll. Collins’ GPA was at least 3.5 while studying as a full-time student. Students from 49 states attended OU last spring.

The prosecution admitted records showing that Robbins had convictions for the aggravated manufacture of a controlled substance, burglary of a habitation and possession of cocaine. In sentencing Robbins to almost the maximum sentence allowed under Texas law, District Judge Craig Towson told Robbins he found the fact that the prior burglary conviction was for breaking into his adult daughter’s home and stealing her computer particularly aggravating. “You should protect your children, not prey on them,” Towson said to Robbins. Robbins will be eligible for parole after he has completed a quarter of his sentence, Swain said.

Custom boutique specializes in furniture and unique creations Shabby Abby is a classic case of making lemonade out of lemons. Owner Bonnie Bartay gave birth to daughter Abby in December 2012 and tried to balance motherhood with a full-time job. Then that job ended. She said, “I was devastated but knew I wanted more than anything to stay home with my baby.” Viola! Shabby Abby was born. Initially, Bonnie began creating crafty items, but she soon focused on refurnishing and redoing furniture for resale. “I absolutely love what I do and love being able to spend time with my Abby,” Bonnie said. Shabby Abby is located at 11408 Hwy. 199. From Azle, make a U-turn on Nine Mile Bridge Road and stay on the access road. From Lake Worth, “the first time the highway kicks you off, stay on the access road,” Bonnie says. She said what makes her different is that she refinishes customers’ existing furniture. Bonnie, born and raised in Azle, also finds furniture and keeps it available for custom finishes.

HSU’s Walter named top scholar-athlete A former Azle Hornet standout continued his stellar career at college. Jim Walter, a senior at Hardin-Simmons University in Abilene, was selected as one of 10 American Southwest Conference Distinguished ScholarAthletes. Walter is a biology major with a 3.91 grade point average and led the HSU Cowboys to the ASC championship game in 2014 even though he was just one of two returning players. Called the “glue guy,” Walters started all 28 Hardin-Simmons games and led the team with 32 minutes per game. He averaged 7 points and 6.5 rebounds in each contest. Scholastically, Walter sat out a year of athletics to take the MCAT (Medical College Admission Test). He has already been accepted to UT-San Antonio’s Medical School and will begin his studies there this fall semester. The scholar-athlete awards

Global warming horror: Sharknado vs. Bearicane

ikely, as you read this, I am frolicking on the Texas coast. Or battling for my very life. Perhaps you’ve heard about the event that has sent shock waves among Loch Ness monster fans and other devotees of mysterious denizens of the deep. In Australia, a giant nine-foot long great white shark was tagged for observation of its aquatic life. However, the shark’s monitoring device washed up on a beach. When the information was accessed, scientists were shocked. The tracking data showed the shark had been apprehended at 1,900 feet and eaten! What could consume such a gigan-

tic creature? A bona fide sea monster? Aliens? Kraken? Godzilla? These are not the sorts of questions you want to ponder while swimming in the Gulf waves. There’s a terrible confluence of events that makes me wonder about getting into the ocean right now. 1. I will be in the same salty sea where the monster lives. However, I saw Sharknado on the SyFy Channel and that movie proved that water is no longer a deterrent for a shark to kill you. If you’re on the coast and see a water spout filled with sharks coming at you, what do you do? This sounds like the worst climate change scenario possible, unless you must face a Bearicane, a storm packed with whirling polar bears upset that their icy world is melting.

2. A TV special about the shark death by the Smithsonian Channel, Hunt for the Super Predator, debuts June 25 – my birthday. 3. A shark attack ON YOUR curred earlyocin MARK the month off coast near Mark K. Campbell the Galveston. 4. I did not learn how to swim until I was 13, so I’m not of Olympic caliber when it comes to moving through the water to flee from a super predator/gargantuan

sea monster. 5. You can’t see six inches into the water off the Texas coast; who knows what’s lurking nearby? 6. Sharknado 2: The Second One will soon be released. Maybe I should’ve stayed home. However, I’ve always had a premonition that a bear, not shark, would somehow be involved in my demise. The real predicament, of course, would be if a Sharknado and a Bearicane converged. A while ago I researched methods of battling sharks and bears. The Internet, which would not lie, said the best way to fend off these killing machines is to poke sharks in the eyes and play dead around bears. (Don’t get that backwards.) Clearly, if the Sharknado and Beari-

cane merge, you’ll have to be mighty agile to poke and fake as the critters swirl around you. Still, I will fight madly because my beloved grandchildren will be about. Plus, that condo cost so friggin’ much that I want to wring every second out of it. If this is the last On Your Mark ever, so be it. Perhaps I’ll run into the Super Predator. I can’t hold my breath long enough to touch the bottom of a swimming pool, so surviving 1,900 feet is out of the question. Yet, it’d be my luck to escape the Sharknado/Bearicane only to surface and discover a massive wave bearing down on me – the dreaded Snakenami. Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and isn’t crazy about the idea of giant jellyfish, either.

Letter to the Editor Bergdahl should not be hailed ‘hero’ Dear Editor: This continuing news item of the Bowe Bergdahl drama sure makes America look like a bad soap opera with our courageous commander-inchief Barrack Obama as the writer, producer, and director. The world is the audience, and, believe me, they are laughing at us for the fools Mr. Obama has cast us to be. The fine men and women who serve in the Armed Forces for us are the president’s props. Case in point: When competent investigative agencies had already looked into and properly investigated

the circumstances behind the disappearance of Bergdahl in 2009, the report was substantiated and concluded that the soldier was a deserter – and perhaps even a collaborator with the enemy we are fighting in Afghanistan. When Bergdahl was repatriated by the enemy, Mr. Obama exchanged five of the most horrific monsters right out of hell – for which your hometown might be the next target. Mr. Obama and his White House team had to take a victory lap in convincing America what a “hero” Bergdahl was and that “he served with honor and distinction.” Then, as if it couldn’t get worse, America learned that Bergdahl had been promoted from corporal to sergeant in the interim of his captivity and post-investigation and status as a

deserter. Coupled that, Bergdahl’s own team members refuted Mr. Obama’s claims; he certainly did not serve with honor and was by no means a hero! Of course, these empty suits who work in the White House and are Mr. Obama’s lap dogs – and have never served a day in the military – tried to paint these real heroes as liars and malcontents, trying to keep the public’s eye off the ball as Mr. Obama’s ruse was falling apart. The epilogue of this soap opera: Could this be Mr. Obama, in a ‘70’s Kumbaya moment of dovetailing another incompetent president – Jimmy Carter, pardoning draft dodgers only this time with deserters?

Tidbits from history that readers may not know

his column will consist of small, unconnected tidbits of information about the West that I wish to share. Have you ever heard the term “Johnny cake” or read it in a Southern cookbook or Western novel? On the older colonial frontier both Indians and whites began to eat the same food, the Indian corn called maise, squash, hominy, pumpkins, venison jerky. From the Indians the whites learned to carry corn meal in the scraped out horn of a cow (also used as a powder horn). Then on a trip it was easy to pour out the corn meal for cornbread because it was kept fresh and dry in the horn. The resulting bread was called a “journey cake.” However, as the Southerners pronounced it, the term came out sounding like “Johnny cake.” The new name stuck. Many early colonists, like the Scotch-Irish, had not been allowed to hunt in England, Scotland or Ireland.

THE

Only aristocrats could hunt large game. From the Indians the colonists learned to set fire to a forest to create meadows for game and to highlight the area at night by encircling it carrying flaming torches. This was called “Jack lighting.” When a deer saw the fire, it would freeze and stand still and then be easily shot. (It sounds cruel, but one's food supply often depended on getting plenty of game.) Some historians say that the term “redskin” did not originate as soon as the whites encountered the native tribes in North America. The earliest colonists in the seventeenth century described the Indians as “brown and tawnie.” Not until the mid-eighteenth century (1700s) did the term “redskins” emerge. Apparently the name came because warriors painted themselves red for battle. Has anyone thought through how the Indians became dependent on the whites? President Thomas Jefferson at first did not intend it to happen. He believed that after 1803 the huge,

newly-acquired Louisiana Territory could become a home land for the Eastern Indians where they could relocate and live independently as they always had. Jefferson others PAGES FROM and thought that WESTERN many, many years would HISTORY go by (hunJ’Nell L. Pate dreds) and a gradual acceptance of the white man's ways would occur. Instead, the Americans saw that our recent enemies, the British, traded with the tribes, giving them guns and other modern goods. Consequently, the Americans had to wean the Indians away from the British, so they traded manufactured tools, cloth and beads,

etc. to the Indians. As the tribes relied on the new products, their skills and desires to live their previous, primitive life without them disappeared. Also, the tribes depleted wild game as they killed it to get pelts and hides to trade. Too, Jefferson and others had no idea that so many folks would rush so quickly to the new U.S. and move to the West for the land. From history class, folks may remember the War of 1812 in which the British and the Americans fought over our former Mother country's impressing American sailors into the British navy and continuing to supply weapons to Indians on the frontier. A result of the U.S victory in the war was “an explosion in migration across the Mississippi.” The population of the Missouri Territory grew from 25,000 to 65,000 from 1814 to 1820. “Indian agents struggled to keep angry tribes and invading whites apart.” (Quotes are from a book on the West by Landon Jones.)

Western history is how the name “ten gallon hat” came into the vocabulary. Most of us assumed that it was because tired and thirsty cowboys dipped their big waterproof, felt hats into a river, sloshing the refreshing liquid over their heads and then refilled it again to water their faithful horses. I'm sure this happened, but it was not why the hat got that name. Water had nothing to do with it. A hat wouldn't hold ten gallons of water anyway! The Spanish word for “braid” is “galon.” The expression “ten galon” was describing how many braids composed a hat band. Ten must have meant it was a pretty fancy hat. From the Spanish/Mexican vaqueros to the Texas/Western cowboys, the understanding of the meaning changed. I hope readers of the column this week learned something new. Retired history professor J’Nell Pate of Azle has authored several books, many of which are on sale in the lobby of the Azle News.

Senate panel addresses slowness of VA care

n June 12, the state Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Military Installations met in Pasadena, Texas, to get input from military veterans in the wake of the records falsification scandal at U.S. Veterans Affairs-run facilities. Also on June 12, Gov. Rick Perry recommended that slow service at VA facilities be remedied by allowing veterans to get health care needs met at non-VA facilities. Several health care provider groups responded, expressing interest in expanding health care options to veterans, the governor’s office stated. Sen. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, who chairs the Senate committee, has recommended the creation of a hotline “to help Texas veterans deal with long wait times and VA bureaucracy.” After the hearing in Pasadena, Van de Putte stated, “While

our reality is that the VA is a federally run and funded agency that serves Texas residents, that does not mean that Texas cannot ensure our veterans are taken care of in the honorable way they deserve and have earned. Ultimately, Washington needs to fix the VA’s problems, but in the meantime, Texas will focus on the immediate crisis: Getting medical care to our heroes.” EPA plan to be reviewed Federal carbon emissions rules proposed last month will be reviewed by the Texas House Committee on Environmental Regulation, Speaker Joe Straus said June 11. The Obama administration’s plan, to be administered by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, would reduce greenhouse gas emissions nationally by 30 percent, as compared to 2005 levels, by 2030. Because individual states may have to reduce more than 30 percent in order for the country as a

Second, we also thank our neighbors and Azle police for helping make our neighborhood a safer place. Unfortunately, we have been

range of stakeholders to make sure that Texas responds to these regulations in a prudent and responsible way,” Straus added. Border aid is requested Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott on June 12 requested $30 million from the U.S. Department of Homeland Security “to deploy state resources to the Texas border immediately.” “The request comes amid Border Patrol officers reporting a 92 percent spike in minors being apprehended at the border. The influx of child immigrants has so overwhelmed the U.S. Border Patrol that federal agents are devoting time and resources to the humanitarian aspects of the influx, and are not available to secure the border and successfully stop criminal activity,” Abbott stated in a news release. A sentence in the letter explains: “The $30 million requested is only two percent of the amount of aid the President

is asking Congress to appropriate in temporary aid to deal with the consequences of the porous border.” Drought status is renewed Gov.

King addresses saltwater issues

exas State Representative Phil King said the Lone Star legislature has formed a “Joint Interim Committee to Study Water Desalination” and that he is a member of that committee. “Our hearings begin this week,” he said. He said that desalination has been a common topic in coastal areas of the state but has not been broached often in North Texas. “Texas faces its fourth year of a drought and our reservoirs

have been as low as 58 percent full, the lowest since 1967,” King said. Texas’ population is expected to balloon from today’s 26.5 million to 46 million by 2060. That will stress the already stretched water supply, he noted. “Water supplies are estimated to decline while the needs of our residential, industrial, and agriculture communities substantially increase.” Texas voters approved Proposition 6 last November, a water bill that takes $2 billion from the “rainy-day fund” for water projects.

Eventually, over $27 billion will be generated by Prop 6 funds to direct toward water woes. Still, King said there are great concerns about Lone Star water: “Texas must be aggressive in addressing our water needs for future generations.” King said the new committee will address desalination not only of seawater but of “brackish groundwater and brackish surface water.” Facts from the Texas Water Development Board about desalination released by King: • Texas currently has an estimated total municipal desali-

nation of 123 million gallons daily, including 73 million in groundwater and 50 in brackish surface water. • Industrial salination in Texas is estimated to be about 60 to 100 million gallons per day, mainly from power and semiconductor industries. • The average cost to produce 1 acre-foot of desalinated water from brackish water ranges from $357 to $782. For seawater the cost is from $800 to $1,400. Phil King is the State Representative for House District 61.

Movie Man hey-look-I’m-funny-becauseI’m-loud-and-wacky bit, Hill can cast off one-liners that zing. Tatum has the dumb guy shtick down, too. His bumbling over the language – he confuses “carte blanche” with “Cate Blanchett” and “homophobe” with “homophone” – generates chuckles. However, it’s two cast members with smaller roles that hit homers. The biggest laugh of the movie belongs to Ice Cube with his wild-eyed silent stare-of-death when he meets his daughter’s boyfriend. (The Movie Man won’t ruin it for you.) Spewing non-stop vulgarities, he’s a cussing machine and you can’t help but laugh at his disbelief at how Hill and Tatum constantly act like imbeciles. The other standout is the roommate Bell. She recognizes that there is no way Hill is 19 years old, and she constantly unleashes a string of old man jokes whenever they are on the onscreen together. Even when they literally fight, she’s still flinging them at him. This is a classic case of someone stealing a movie. After its pitiful start, the funny dialogue and jokes begin to hit. It’ll be even funnier for home viewing when captions will reveal a slew of under the breath utterances that weren’t

discernible in theaters. Finally, the film goes back to the sequel-joke book once more and this time it’s funny. Under the end credits, a series of fake commercials for future Jump Streets run – including one that replaces Rogen for Hill: “No one will ever notice.” Good stuff.

heaven where he rides unicorns and can even float around. It’s all shown split screen with Hill eventually trying to bust in on Tatum’s groovy situation. It’s funny.

only. There’s only minor violence as well as implied drug use and drinking but no other reason for the R. However, those cuss words come nonstop.

What doesn’t work (spoiler) As noted already, the first part of the movie is Neighbors bad – unfunny, too-cool-forschool jokes that fall flat. There are a long series of stinkers that silenced the dying-to-laugh, twentysomething audience with the Movie Man. The “action” sequences are beyond dumb – especially an opening scene – and every shot of Tatum playing football (he just shows up and gets asked to join the college squad!) are amateurish. (Of course, that could be the intent of directors Phil Lord and Christopher Miller [who made the often great The LEGO Movie (MM #1075, 7)], mocking TV conventions.) Still, it’s awkward. Sometimes the crudeness is too much, simply lewd for lewdness’ sake. That happens with the scene with Riggle and Franco (and their return [very briefly] in the stinger).

Summing up Basically, if you liked 21 Jump Street, you’ll like 22 Jump Street. The Movie Man thinks it’s a tick up from the original. And, certainly, there are some laughs.

Best scene (spoiler) Hill and Tatum accidently take mega doses of WhyPhy. Hill’s drug-fueled trip sends him to Hades where he’s not only burning and being tortured but Creed plays non-stop. Ta- The rating tum is in a happy rainbowed This is a hard R for language

Next up How to Train Your Dragon 2 has potential. The first was good (2010, MM #870, 7).

The Bud Clark Cemetery Association dedicated a new fence and gate during a meeting June 7 attended by about 35 members of the association. Association members say Parker County Constable Precinct 1 Larry Nix as well as property owner Robert Landers were instrumental getting the fence replaced. A stone enclosure in the cemetery is thought to contain members of the Reynolds family dating to the 1850s; however the oldest marked headstone is dated 1870. The cemetery is located south of Sabathney Road near La Junta. Photo courtesy Bud Clark Cemetery Association

TERM Particle Barrier can be installed by Polyguard authorized pest management professionals on the outside perimeter of existing or new homes and schools, as well as in bath traps and wherever plumbing penetrations come through the slab. No building should be built without this particle barrier, as it blocks most places where termites enter structures. TERM Particle Barrier should dramatically reduce the need for pesticides.

Developed over years of Texas A&M testing, Polyguard Products, of Ennis, Texas introduces TERM Particle Barrier, the first and only Texas termite treatment not classified as a pesticide. EPA classifies the TERM Particle Barrier as a “device”. The concept is simple - quartz particles are carefully sorted and sized to an exact combination. Particles are too large for termites to move, and too small for them to crawl between. The particle barrier simply blocks entry, causing termites to forage elsewhere for food.

trol and Prevention District marked an 8.69 percent increase from June 2013 revenue of $30,036 with this month’s check for $32,646. However, the increase was not enough to bring the district even with its mid-2013 level of $195,510 – so far in 2014, the district has collected $194,464, 0.52 percent less than this time last year. Azle’s Municipal Development District, which only began collecting a half-cent sales tax in areas that lie within Tarrant County late last year, received a June check for $31,001 and has collected $185,652 so far in 2014. No comparison can yet be made to a prior year. The town of Lakeside continues to see huge increases compared with 2013. It received $11,320 in June, a 148.88 percent jump from the $4,548 it received in June 2013. The town has collected $92,758 during the first half of 2014, 149.64 percent more than its mid-year 2013 collections of $37,156. One hundred percent of both the monthly and year-todate increases are easily explained by a 1 percent tax rate increase passed by voters last year. That measure doubled the town’s sales tax rate, but the Lakeside has consistently seen almost a 50 percent additional increase over 2013’s collections.
