Composter ‘owns’ onerous odor Operation turned ‘on its head’ to solve smelly situation CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN No doubt about it, the air around Mayer Materials, LLC, located at 1212 Silver Creek Azle Road just outside the Azle city limits, is sometimes smelly. In fact, owner/operator David Mayer says he’s the first to admit his company made some mistakes when it began composting a proprietary blend with other components including fresh produce and tree branches in an open-air format. “As far as the odor, we own it – we made a mistake,” Mayer said in a candid interview Tuesday afternoon. Several complaints about the odor had been made to the Azle News Monday and Tuesday, prompting the phone call to Mayer. Providing scientific information faster than a reporter’s fingers can type, Mayer eventually got down to the crux of the problem. Volatile fatty acids, or VFAs, simply were not breaking down as quickly as they needed to in the open air batching area. “As soon as we realized we had a problem, we began working with the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality (TCEQ)

to find a solution,” Mayer said. “With their help as well as help from a microbiologist whose services we retained, we’ve turned our operation on its head to resolve this issue.” Mayer says his company has completely shut down its open-air composting process and switched to a system that uses 10,000 gallon tanks or vessels fitted with state-of-the-art scrubbing filters where they now store all aqueous materials. “These vessels release zero emissions – that’s zero,” Mayer says emphatically. Mayer said he requested that the TCEQ monitor the odor situation, but the agency declined after visiting the site several times because they felt the level of odor didn’t warrant monitoring. So Mayer is considering contracting an independent company to monitor the smell. All materials used in the composting process at the facility are pre-consumer products, Mayer said, and his organic products have been used in a number of projects within the city of Azle. “Your fire station, Walgreen’s, and an athletic field are all sit-

ting on our dirt,” he stated proudly. “We are contributors to this community. We’re good, honest people. We’ve worked with several of your churches. “As for the odor – we own it, we’re on it, and we’re throwing very significant resources at it,” Mayer stated flatly. “We believe we’ve alleviated it, resolved the problem.” He did, however, admit that, as with any similar composting operation, there will occasionally be minor, temporary nuisances. At the invitation of Parker County Precinct One Commissioner George Conley, Mayer will be available during a meeting slated for 7 p.m. Aug. 13 at the Springtown Senior Center. The meeting is being held to address concerns over odors from the use of biosolids as fertilizer at a location near Springtown. “I’m an open book,” Mayer said. “We’ve gone the extra mile to address this situation and I’ll be happy to answer any questions and provide any information I can to help people understand what we’re doing at this meeting.”

Increase will fund first employee step raise in four years BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Azle City Manager Craig Lemin makes no bones about it. “The 2013-2014 budget has been the most difficult I’ve been faced with since I started working with the budget here in 2001,” he told Azle council members during a workshop held Saturday, Aug. 3, in council chambers. Between the rising costs of employee benefits and added expenses of operating newer facilities, Lemin explained there was very little left to cover even normal cost increases, let alone departmental budget requests. The majority of those requests had to be denied, and even then, inflationary costs left Lemin with only about $2,000 revenue over expenditures in the general fund for the upcoming fiscal year. While that’s not great news, it’s tempered by the fact that the city currently has more than $4 million in unallocated general fund cash reserves – enough to operate the general fund departments, including police and fire departments, for more than seven months. According to Renita Bishop, city finance director, the bond rating companies expect the city to keep a minimum of 90 days – three months – of operating expenses in the reserve fund to remain in their good graces. The city has adopted financial policies mandating a minimum of 120 days of reserves. Employee salaries Lemin reminded council members that almost five years’ of work and a $50,000 payment to Waters Consulting firm in 1999 went into developing a detailed “step plan” for employee salaries . That plan was intended to get Azle into the mid-range of salaries of other

Whooping cough a concern, not an outbreak Tarrant County reports 302 cases in 2013 BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN It starts with deceptively mild symptoms much like a cold or even allergies – a cough, sneezing, and a runny nose. But for some reason, pertussis, more commonly called whooping cough, is having a record year in Tarrant County. Public health officials do not consider the rise in cases to be epidemic, but admit there’s a large increase compared with the past several years. Vanassa Joseph, senior public information officer for the Tarrant County Public Health Department said in an email that despite reports of several cases of whooping cough in several Azle area day care centers, there is “no concentration in Azle.” “As of July 23, 2013, Tarrant County Public Health has record-

ed 302 cases of pertussis. This is a large increase compared to 95 and 162 cases reported in 2011 and 2012 respectively,” Joseph said. “Pertussis is endemic (common) in Tarrant County with peaks in disease occurring on a three- to five-year cycle. “Peak years for incidence have been 2008 (312 cases), 2010 (283) and now 2013 (302 as of 7/23/13).” “When comparing each of the peak years for January through July, this year is noteworthy with 302 cases being reported versus 181 and 156 cases for 2008 and 2010 respectively,” Joseph said. She also said that while the vaccine is not perfect, it remains the single best control measure. “In the investigation of the 2010 California outbreak, non-im-

munized children were eight times more likely to get pertussis as compared to those who had been immunized,” Joseph related. “The Texas schedule for childhood immunization calls for five doses of DTaP before entering school. People who are 11 through 18 years of age are required to receive Tdap. “Under immunized children can receive a Tdap as early as 7 years of age.” Joseph said treatment within 21 days of coughing onset is effective in shortening the time of coughing and can prevent the further spread of the disease. With school about to start, it’s more important than ever to see a doctor right away if you or your child develops symptoms.

While new lights went up, things went dark at Hornet Field on Aug. 1. That’s because the installation of a new track required painting – and the covering of the new field turf and surrounding stands as well as the removal of vehicles from a broad surrounding area. By Aug. 5, the track was lined and ready to go, the finish line for completion of the improvements to the stadium. Photos by Mark K. Campbell

Azle water: Smells, tastes bad - enjoy! by mark k. campbell Yes, it’s that time of year again. The Azle water supply has once more taken a turn for the worse. However, the City of Azle is quick to point out that, while the water looks and tastes funky, it’s perfectly healthy. The city web site – cityofazle.org – points out in a special section: “We want to assure out citizens the water is safe to consume.” Two reasons exist for the horrid H2O. One: algae growth in Eagle Mountain

Lake. In summer months, it’s not uncommon for EML – and most Texas lakes – to experience substantial proportions of bluegreen algae. That algae produces “geosmin” which is not harmful but, the city notes, “is aesthetically unpleasing.” Two: “destratification” aka a lake “turning over.” Temperature levels in lakes vary in cooler weather, but, in summertime, they are mostly one temperature from top to bottom. “This condition causes nutrients from the lake floor to rise and contribute to algae growth,” the city noted.

To combat the problem, the Azle water treatment plant uses oxidants to reduce “elements” that affect taste and smell. Carbon is added, too. It takes a while to figure out the proper proportions to use to contain the changes, however. “We do apologize for the temporary increase in taste and odor issues,” the web site noted. Anyone with concerns or questions can call water superintendent, Ron Burton, at 817-444-3751.

Eagle Scout project aims to help needy families by carla noah stutsman For families with school-age children, the start of school can be a daunting time of expense after expense. But T.J. Savage, a 17-yearold soon-to-be senior at Azle High School, is working on an Eagle Scout project that could provide a little welcome relief. Saturday, Aug. 10, from 10 a.m.-3 p.m., Savage, with help from volunteers, will offer a back-to-school giveaway that includes backpacks and school supplies and clothing for adults and children alike, while supplies last. It is all available for the tiny donation of a can of food at the Family Life Center of First United Methodist Church Azle, 200 Church Street. To top it off, Savage’s project will also offer free box lunches for those in attendance making a donation. The donations will, in turn, be donated to Azle’s Community Caring Center, where even more families in need can be served. Savage is a member of Troop 243, under the direction of Scoutmaster Jeff Mahlmann.

Council looks to 1 cent tax increase n COUNCIL, FROM PAGE ONE.

cities in the area – and keep it there. But as a result of the economic recession, those annual step raises for employees have not happened in the last four years. Part of the salary plan included annual 2.5 percent cost-of-living raises for employees, as well, but they have received only one cost-of-living raise in the last four years. In fiscal 2011-2012, council allotted a $1,000 one-time payment per employee with at least one year of employment with the city in lieu of a raise. In fiscal 2012-2013, council again gave onetime payments to employees, this time $500 per employee with at least one year of employment with the city, as well as a 2.5 percent cost-of living adjustment in January 2013. The main reason for the one-time payments was to let employees who hadn’t seen a raise in years know they weren’t forgotten, while not impacting the budget in subsequent years. Any actual increase in pay must be sustained in all subsequent years. While the utility, golf course, and storm water funds all have enough funds available for a one-step increase for department employees, the general fund – which bears the lion’s share of employees, including both the fire and police department personnel – does not. According to Lemin, the total cost for a onestep increase for the general fund is $73,425 for the first year, with an equal amount incurred in the next year to absorb the full cost of the increase. “The council established the current pay plan in an attempt to stay somewhat competitive in the employment market, but we’re falling behind,” Lemin said in a memo to the council.

“If we are not going to be able to fund step increases, we need to look at redesigning our pay structure. To have something in place that we cannot fund negatively impacts employee morale.” Apparently, the council agrees with philosophy. After a lengthy discussion, council directed staff to proceed with a plan to raise the tax rate by one cent to fund a one-step increase for city employees. Fire apparatus The Azle Fire Department currently utilizes several apparatus for fire suppression in its dayto-day operations. A 2013 Spartan ERV Tanker/Engine and a 2006 F550 brush truck are provided by Tarrant County Emergency Services District 1 (TCESD1), but come with the stipulation that either can be relocated to another department if deemed appropriate by the ESD. The city owns a 2008 Spartan/Rosenbauer Engine as well as a 1991 Spartan/ LTI ladder truck known as the “Quint.” The Quint, a multi-function rig, reached a point several years ago where it is broken down more than it’s available for use. Although the fire department has requested it be replaced in several budget requests over the years, the money – upward of $750,000 – has never been available. “It’s a piece of equipment we don’t need often, but when we need it, we really need it because nothing else will get the job done,” explained Fire Chief Will Scott. Scott cited the blaze that destroyed Quality Trailers (now Rockwell American) on West Main Street on Feb. 22, 2008. Although people tend to think a ladder truck is only used for multi-story structures, Scott said

the fact is any large one-story structure can present a scenario that is best handled with a ladder truck. That includes buildings, schools, medical facilities and even residential homes with more than about 7,000 square feet – of which there are several in Azle’s fire district. “If we hadn’t had multiple ladders at the Quality Trailers fire, the fire potentially could have jumped Main Street and gotten the apartment complex there, or it could have gotten the strip center behind Quality Trailers,” Scott said. “Because we had an elevated master stream, we were able to contain and cool down the fire.” Council reached a consensus that it’s time to replace the truck to provide the best fire protection for the city possible. Staff was instructed to begin the process to purchase a new ladder truck out of fund balance. It could take more than a year for the truck specs to be finalized and for the rig to be custom-built and delivered, which means a possibility that the cost might end up being absorbed over two years rather than one. Council also instructed staff to purchase additional items from the fund balance, including a truck and kennel unit for Animal Control; a pickup for Parks/Streets; a mower for use on right-of-ways and others too small to mow with a tractor; and rotating, locking file cabinets for the records vault. Cost of those items totals $78,175. Assistant City Manager Lawrence Bryant said on Tuesday that, even the purchase of a new ladder truck from cash reserves, he does not antici-

AZLE INDEPENDENT SCHOOL DISTRICT Azle ISD offers career and technical education programs in Agricultural Science, Architecture, Manufacturing, Business, Marketing, Education, Human Services, Information Technology, Law and Public Safety, Auto Technology or Health Sciences. Admission to these programs is based on local policy as found in the High School Planning Guide.

pate the city’s general fund cash reserves to dip below the six-month level. What it all means What does a penny on the tax rate cost the average person? The average home value inside the city of Azle, according to Bryant, is $119,250 based on staff calculation. Working off that value, the average homeowner in Azle will pay $11.93 more in city tax for fiscal year 2013-14 than in fiscal 2012-13. The proposed rate of $0.6595, while one cent more than the current rate of $0.6495, is a far cry from $0.7967 – the tax rate in Azle in fiscal 200102. That rate dropped to $0.6910 in fiscal 2002-03 and it remained there for three years before dropping to $0.6777 in 2005-06. The rate continued falling; it was $0.656 in 2006-07; $0.636 in 2007-08; and $0.6310 in 2008-09 and 2009-10. Clearly, economic recession hit the city of Azle at that point, and the tax rate has risen a modest 1.85 cents per $100 of property valuation over the last three years. The proposed increase of one cent for 201314 will bring the rise to 2.85 cents per $100 of property valuation. The proposed tax rate of $0.6595 is 2.41 cents above the effective rate of $0.6354. The effective rate is the rate at which the city would receive the same amount of money from ad valorem taxes as it did last year. The proposed rate is 3.37 cents below the roll back rate of $0.6731. The roll back rate is the rate at which the citizens could petition for an election to “roll back” the tax rate.

Jack, Burke married Mike and Denice Wallace of Azle are proud to announce the marriage of their daughter, Kandice Burke of Fort Worth to Jarrod Jack of Fort Worth, son of James and DeLayne Jack of Azle. Kandice and Jarrod were married at 3 p.m. March 17, 2013, at The Ball-Eddleman-McFarland House in Fort Worth. Travis Pirkle, friend of the couple, officiated the ceremony. The bride wore a strapless ivory, tulle, hand embroidered and beaded tea-length gown by Oleg Cassini. She carried a bouquet of red rose, calla lily, rhinestone and feather complimented by her great-grandmother’s brooch as well as an Alice in Wonderland clock charm, a gift from the groom’s mother. The bride was accompanied by her maid of honor and best friend, Krissy Pirkle and bridesmaids, Maria Griffin, Lacey Nabers, Cheyenne Walker and Piper Wallace who all wore black dresses and held a single stem red rose with feathers. The groom was accompanied by his best man and brother, Ian Jack and groomsmen, Michael Flowers, Matthew and Jeremy Jack.

Ushers were Bryson Walker, Parker Wallace, Seth and Hollan Morris all cousins of the bride. Ringbearer was Jonathan Frias, nephew of the groom, and the flower girl was Caitlin Burke, sister of the bride. The groom and wedding party walked out to Christina Perri’s “A Thousand Years” and the bride walked out to Tim McMorris’ “Overwhelmed.” The theme of the wedding was old Hollywood with apple red, black and silver for the colors. The reception was held on the patio of The Ball-Eddleman-McFarland House which was decorated with a four-foot candelabra as well as personalized champagne glasses, cake servers and votives. The bride and groomed shared their first dance to Chris Cornell’s “Finally Forever.” The wedding cake was a three-tiered, black and white, movie themed creation and the groom’s cake was a movie clapboard.

The couple was provided with a honeymoon suite in Fort Worth. After the honeymoon, they will reside in Fort Worth. The bride is a 2006 graduate from Azle High School and works at DSS Industries in Fort Worth. The groom is a 2007 graduate of Azle High School, studied at TCC and is currently an assistant manager with Walgreens Corporation.

Anniversaries Don and Ruth Autry recently celebrated 60 years of wonderful marriage with a family reunion on the shores of beautiful Sebago Lake in Standish, Maine. They spent the week with three children, Gordon and Sheri of Standish, Maine, Terry and Vickie of Evergreen, Colorado and Susan of Pasadena, California; five grandchildren, Adam, Anna Marie, Garrett, CJ and Ben who were also there to help celebrate and make new memories with good fishing and great lobster. Don Autry, a 1949 graduate of Boyd High School, and Ruth Brister, a 1953 graduate of Azle High School, were married in Azle Methodist Church on June 9, 1953. They traveled the world with the US Air Force. Since retirement in 1977, they have made their home in Azle.

Community Caring Center executive director Joe Lieb told Chamber of Commerce members good news and bad news at their monthly luncheon Aug. 6. The bad news was that July proved to be the most needy month in the CCC’s history with 491 area families seeking assistance, including 65 new clients. The good news? Azle “citizens, businesses, and churches always step up,” Leib said. There is always enough food and clothing on hand, no matter the need, he noted. “I’ve learned one thing: You can’t out-give God,” Lieb said. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

This notice concerns the 2013 property tax rates for Azle. It presents information about three tax rates. Last year’s tax rate is the actual tax rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year. This year’s effective tax rate would impose the same total taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year’s rollback tax rate is the highest tax rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers start rollback procedures. In each case these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (the total value of taxable property) with adjustments as required by state law. The rates are given per $100 of property value. Last year’s tax rate: Last year’s operating taxes

$3,151,800

Last year’s debt taxes

=This year’s effective tax rate (Maximum rate unless unit publishes notices and holds hearings.)

$0.6354/$100

This year’s rollback tax rate: Last year’s adjusted operating taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property and adjusting for any transferred function, tax increment financing, state criminal justice mandate, and/or enhanced indigent healthcare expenditures)

= This year’s total rollback rate

Statement of Increase/Decrease If Azle adopts a 2013 tax rate equal to the effective tax rate of $0.6354 per $100 of value, taxes would increase compared to 2012 taxes by $8,988.

Azle man faces multiple charges after car theft, hijack attempt An Azle man was arrested in Temple and charged with evading arrest and also faces federal vehicle charges after stealing one car and attempting to carjack another. Joshua James Adams, 32, whose driver’s license lists an address in the far northwestern corner of the 76020 zip code in Wise County, was in custody in the Bell County jail. According to a news report by C. J. Gardner, a reporter with the ABC affiliate News Channel 25 in Waco, Killeen and Temple, Adams first stole a car from a car lot in San Antonio. Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) troopers were notified, and a tracking device in the car showed it was traveling north on I-35. According to Gardner, Adams panicked when he was spotted by a DPS trooper, a

Belton police officer, and a Bell County Sheriff’s deputy. Adams sped up and attempted to flee the officers, exiting the Interstate at a speed estimated to be in excess of 80 mph. He ran a red light at a high rate of speed but lost control of the car, which rolled over before coming to a stop in a median. As officers converged on the area, Adams, who was not injured in the rollover, approached a silver SUV driven by a woman with a 6-yearold passenger. He opened the door of the SUV and reached for her. That’s when a DPS trooper was able to pin Adams between the door and body of the SUV, tackle him, and take him into custody. Adams has since been charged with fleeing police

Goo goo goo joob! Hey, wait, I’m in a bag...

love the Beatles. They did not bring about the end of the world as my Dad prophesied. Nor did Elvis – Presley or Costello. And neither did Blue Oyster Cult or Nine Inch Nails or Metallica. And neither will hip-hop or that thump-thump electronic dance music or Christian industrial that screams a lot about Jesus – I think. So, the world is pretty safe from music bringing about the apocalypse even though every generation is sure their generation’s parents were square/ jive/totes OMG-y because they said it would. (FYI: growing up in the 1960’s and ‘70’s, certainly my generation’s music was the greatest. Just sayin’...) And that’s why I devour everything Beatles. And it’s why, when Me & My

Monkey played at Central Park July 26, I was most excited to hear “Hey Bulldog” which the Arlington quartet did a great job on. The Beatles’ hits were groovy through the years, and they got more and more adventurous. (I played the weird “Rain” a lot more than the hit on the other side of the 45, “Paperback Writer.” It had backward lyrics! That just blew my mind, man!) And then there were the freak-outs on the album cuts... No other group’s album release caused such anticipation. How could the Beatles possibly top Revolver? Only with Sgt. Pepper’s Lonely Hearts Club Band. You can make an argument for Pink Floyd’s follow-up to Dark Side of the Moon and Michael Jackson’s effort after Thriller (which were, respectively,

Wish Your Were Here and Bad). However, the difference with the Beatles is that you never knew what was about to come out of those speakers on any album – an ear-splitting rocker like “Helter Skelter,” or a simple, lovely ballad like “Julia,” or something completely off the wall. And that’s where “I Am the Walrus” comes in. John Lennon loved wordplay in books like Alice in Wonderland and took his Lewis Carroll devotion to a pad often. He penned his own nonsensical lyrics in “Walrus” like “crabalocker fishwife” and “sitting on a corn flake” and “I am the eggman” and “goo goo goo joob.” It’s safe to say that no one saw those words coming when the needle first hit Magical Mystery Tour. I must’ve listened to “Walrus” a thousand times (and that explains a

Have I mentioned that life is good? When I reflect on the lives that have crossed my path, I can’t help but be thankful. There is much wrong with this broken, fallen world. Shame on us when we can’t see what’s right with it – things like “tickle cheese,” sippy cups, and baby fingerprints. Philippians 4:4-7 says, “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.” Our lives matter to God and He proves it all the time if we will just pay attention. We also had some familiar smells in the house. I still remember how to change a diaper, but I didn’t feel the need to prove it.

MARK Things had Mark K. Campbell imploded so badly for the Fab Four late in their union that soon they were going off in different directions on their own – often very queer directions. I found this note in the book: The

New Cinema Club held an evening of John and Yoko’s films at the Institute of Contemporary Art, where a couple, that could have been John and Yoko, sat on stage inside a white bag during the show. “Could have been”! This was so Beatles-y and John-y that I had to chuckle. No wonder our parents thought the country was going to Hades in a hand basket: wallowing around in a bag was art! I wondered what you do inside a bag up on a stage: Wish you had worn shorts? Regret that Indian meal? Come up with new lyrics for a song? Maybe that’s a situation where “oompah, oompah, stick it in your jumper” really resonated. Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and he can’t find his Rubber Soul CD for some reason.

Cuban immigrants contribute to Tampa history and vacation

s readers of this column know, I generally tell stories of the history that I learn from the places I visit while on vacation. I had an unusual trip because I spent a week in the Tacoma, Washington and Portland, Oregon areas, then flew to the Tampa/ St. Petersburg area of Florida for another week. I jotted down ideas for "people" stories all along the way. In Tampa is an old historic area called Ybor City (pronounced EE-bor) named after a Spanish/Cuban immigrant Vicente Martinez-Ybor. Would you believe that much of Tampa's early growth is due to him? Born in Spain in 1818, Martinez-Ibor at age 14 went to Cuba to avoid mandatory military service. He worked first in a grocery store. Later he learned to make cigars. By 1856 he began his own company in Havana and succeeded so well that he produced 20,000 cigars a day. Because he supported Cuban reb-

THE

els who tried to separate from Spain in 1868, he nearly was arrested. This caused him to flee to Key West, Florida in 1869. There he built a new cigar factory and hired many Cubans who also had fled to the U.S. In 1885, persuaded by a subsidy from Tampa's Board of Trade (like a Chamber of Commerce), he bought 40 acres and, with investors, built a company town named Ybor City northeast of Tampa. He built a cigar factory complex that encompassed a city block. To avoid labor problems that he saw other manufacturers experiencing, Martinez-Ybor paid good wages and constructed small houses that he sold to his employees at cost. While his employees rolled cigars, he had people read the classics to them to help in their education. He encouraged other entrepreneurs to come to the area and he ran other businesses himself: a brewery, a hotel, ice and brick factories. Immigrants from Spain, Cuba and Italy flocked in. The town grew and was annexed into the city of Tam-

pa in 1887. By the early 20th century Ibor's w o r k e r s shipped hundreds of millions of cigars all over the world. Martinez-Ibor died in 1896 at age 78. So many people attended his funeral that much of Tampa closed down. A PAGES FROM bronze monuin his WESTERN ment honor stands in HISTORY front of a shopping area in the J’Nell L. Pate renovated commercial district of Ybor City today. Just nine years after the death of Martinez-Ybor, another entrepreneur arrived in 1905 in Ybor City to begin his own lasting contribution.

Hernandez, Sr. also fled Cuba because of oppression and sought a better life in the U.S. He chose the area where many other Cubans worked, and opened a small cafe in Ybor City, naming it the Columbia Cafe. He served the cigar workers cups of Cuban coffee and offered bowls of Spanish bean soup. His business thrived and continued to grow. In the year that the restaurant celebrated its 25th anniversary, Hernandez, Sr. passed away, but his son Hernandez, Jr. already had taken over operation three years earlier. He built the first air-conditioned dining room in Tampa and added an elevated dance floor. Hernandez, Jr. only had one daughter, Adela, but her husband Cesar Gonzmart took over the restaurant and in 1956 added a 300-seat dining room. They could hire the top Latin entertainers of the day. Cesar and Adela's two sons, Richard and Casey, became fourth generation managers of the Columbia, first learning the business by working Editor Mark K. Campbell

many jobs. They have since opened seven other Columbia Restaurants in Florida. The Ybor City location has 15 dining rooms with seating for 1,700 people. The restaurant totals 52,000 square feet and covers an entire city block. In 2005 they celebrated their 100th anniversary. A fifth generation now works for the Columbia, and the first children of the sixth generation were born in 2001: twins. The Columbia will continue. These two Cuban immigrants whom I discovered on my vacation – Vicente Martinez-Ybor and Casimiro Hernandez, Sr. – contributed tremendously to the development of Tampa. I'm glad that I became "acquainted" with them. Just this week when a friend learned that I had been in Tampa, she asked, "Did you eat at the Columbia Restaurant?" I was thrilled to be able to reply, Yes, I did!" 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.

Combs reports condition In a July 31 letter to the governor, lieutenant governor, speaker of the House and members of the Legislature, Comptroller Susan Combs reported the state’s oil and natural gas production taxes are performing better than expected this year. Combs projected those taxes to generate an additional $900 million in fiscal 2013, one quarter of which is available for general purpose spending. And that amount is in addition to the $683.1 million available for general purpose spending and not appropriated in the 20142015 biennium. The additional remaining $675 million of severance tax revenue available in the current year will be part of a $2.37 billion transfer into the Economic Stimulus (rainy day) Fund in November, Combs said.

Midnight Madness to christen new turf, kick off Hornet football 2-a-day practices by mark k. campbell The clock is ticking for the 2013 Hornet football season. And when that clock strikes midnight on August 12 – actually really late on Sunday, Aug. 11 – the new field turf at the stadium will be overrun by this year’s varsity and JV squads. Head coach Devon Dorris will direct the initial fall practice at the refurbished Hornet Field at 12:01 a.m. in the firstever football Midnight Madness in Azle. That practice will run until 2:31 in the dead of night for the two teams. The first freshman practice is slated for 5:30-8 p.m. Aug. 12. On Aug. 13, a parent meeting is slated. Practices are set for early morning – 6:30-noon for the varsity and JV, 8:30-11:30 a.m. for the freshmen. That schedule remains the same Aug. 14-16. Saturday, Aug. 17 is picture day for all squads beginning

August 22 – athletic meeting for all athletes. 6 p.m. at 10:30 a.m. following intersquad contests from 7:30-10. The following week is staff development at the Azle ISD, so Monday, Aug. 19 is a bona fide two-a-day practice for the varsity and JV – 6:30-8:30 a.m. and 4-7:30 p.m. The schedule bounces around after that with Aug. 20 being 4-8 p.m. for the varsity and JV and 5:30-7. It’s back to the two-a-day routine on Aug. 21 for the top squads then another long practice on Aug. 22. Then comes the lone scrimmage of the year, at home against Mineral Wells Aug. 23. The JV and freshman will face their Ram counterparts at 5:30 with the varsities squaring off at 7.

Reserve ticket sales opened to the public Aug. 6 for previous holders who elected to not renew their seats. For varsity football, a fivegame set of reserve tickets is $45 and includes games against Cleburne (Sept. 13); Denton Guyer (Sept. 27); Brewer (Oct. 11, Homecoming); Wichita Falls Rider (Oct. 18); and Trophy Club Byron Nelson (Nov. 1). That means Hornet fans can see the Texas Football magazine preseason No. 1 in 4A, Guyer, and the No. 9 pick, Rider, as well as rival Brewer – all 5-4A clashes.

A new coach will take the Lady Hornet volleyball team into the 2013 season. Jennifer Robinson is in the midst of two-a-day practices; those run through Aug. 8. After hosting a multi-school scrimmage Friday, Aug. 9, the Robinson era officially begins Aug. 13 with a dual match against Decatur and Joshua at the latter’s gym. Those scrimmages will be the only time to see Azle at home until well into the season. AHS will play two tournaments – at Wimberley and Graham – with dual matches against Keller Fossil Ridge at Denton High in between. The Lady Hornets finally come home Aug. 27 against Mineral Wells. District 5-4A play opens here, Sept. 13 against Trophy Club Byron Nelson. Senior Night is Oct. 29 against Wichita Falls. Robinson will be assisted by Jennifer Palmer and Kim Fisher. Assistant Trent Davis is the lone returning coach from 2012.

The annual youth football camp was a hit – and not just because it was the first event that took place at the new and improved Hornet Field. New and old coaches – like Steve Burkett (left) and Anthony Barron (top right), respectively – under the direction of Azle High School head coach Devon Dorris led scores of youthful athletes through drills.

Movie Man

Wednesday, August 7, 2013

Buddy cop movie a gritty 1970’s genre throwback There are two great American actors – both equally on the highest rung. Sure, there are lots of others who are pretty good and are way up there, but alone at the top are Tom Hanks and Denzel Washington. About the film Washington, like Hanks, seldom missteps when choosing roles. And both are multiple Oscar winners. They have appeared together just once, Philadelphia (1993); Hanks won Best Actor for that one, and, a year later, again for Forrest Gump (1994, Movie Man No. 33, a ‘+’ in pre-numbering days, a 9 today, Best of Year). Washington’s two biggest accolades (so far) are Academy Award-winning roles in Glory (1989, Supporting Actor) and Training Day (2001, Best Actor). He was royally gypped as Malcolm X (1992); up for Best Actor, he lost to Al Pacino in the meh Scent of a Woman. You know an actor routinely makes good choices when it’s tough to name your favorite of his. Washington made a really good scary movie; it’s often the one that not many regular film fans have seen, Fallen (1998, MM #216, 6). It has a powerhouse ending. (Others name the remake of The Manchurian Candidate remake (2004) or his other movie from that year, Man on Fire. Strangely, as much as the Movie Man loves him some Denzel, he passed on both of those for The Village [MM #571, 7 – M. Night Shyamalan was still hot then] and 13 Going on 30 [MM #557, 3, Worst of Year – a very bad choice by the Movie Man that week].) Of course, you can never go wrong with Glory. Next up for the great Denzel is 2014’s movie update of a moderately successful TV series from 1985-89 about a retired CIA agent who helps clients “even the score,” The Equalizer. (In today’s techno-

world, you can now know that it will be released Sept. 26, 2014 [barring date juggling].) And it’s likely that he will be in the remake of the Bill Cosby-Sidney Poitier movie Uptown Saturday Night where he might team with Will Smith who needs to put a universe between himself and After Earth. And Hanks…this year, he’s in a TV Toy Story Halloween special as Woody, he plays Walt Disney in Saving Mr. Banks at Christmastime, and, before both of those, Hanks portrays Captain Phillips, helmer of a boat hijacked by Somali pirates (Oct. 11). Our two greatest actors will continue to show up with regularity on our big screens, so we got that going for us. The plot (it’s tricky) DEA agent Bobby (Washington) and Naval intelligence ace Stig (Mark Wahlberg) are after Mexican drug kingpin Papi (Edward James Olmos). Neither Washington nor Wahlberg know the other fellow is law enforcement. The duo’s efforts are thwarted and their superiors – Deb (Paula Patton) and Quince (James Marsden) – are soon joined by the DEA, the Navy, Papi’s henchmen, and even the CIA (led by Earl, Fort Worth’s

best expressed when masked Washington and Wahlberg are robbing a bank. Washington, in a frightening Frankenstein’s monster head covering, keeps his eye on bank patrons. One woman has a crying baby. Still in his mask, Washington reaches down to calm the kid and smooches the wailing child – mortifying the baby’s watching mother.

Hoo-ah! funny lines in 2 Guns, but there’s a lot of mumbling going Next up Either We’re the Millers or on and they can’t be deciphered. The plot, intentionally twisty, Elysium. requires some attention; it’s nothing new and some characters are clearly up to no good. It’s pretty standard stuff. The movie is a little too long, and, in its effort to mimic the 817-238-8300 Old School buddy cop movies www.texasmoviebistro.com of the ‘70’s and ‘80’s, there’s 3980 Boat Club Rd Lake Worth some needless gratuitous nudity.

There are some funny oneliners occasionally in 2 Guns. This is no Lethal Weapon wisecracking-fest, but Wahlberg fires off a few good ones. The real standout is Paxton.

Local Army officer keeping Afghan streets safe Springtown native joined effort to protect major trade route by chris agee A group of soldiers stationed this summer in the Nangarhar Province of Afghanistan have been working toward the common goal of protecting the nation’s largest importing and exporting route from enemy attack. U.S. Army 1st Sgt. Christopher Carey, a Springtown native, is a member of Security Forces Advisory and Assistance Team Archangel and has worked with Afghan National Security Forces to secure the busy Highway 7 corridor. Responsible for two-thirds of the nation’s gross domestic product, the route is vital for the Afghan economy. For this reason, according to military sources, the highway is a potential target of enemy forces in the area. The 129th Mobile Public Affairs Detachment reported an operation June 15 was coordinated by Afghan forces and relied on U.S. soldiers for backup in searching for explosives along the route. Carey said the inclusion of local military was imperative. “The locals see the ANSF in the village and some of these villages they haven’t been in in a really long time,” he said, “so just their presence alone can equal mission success.” The mission, called “Shaheen XI,” was the third such summer mission in the area and was deemed a success by all involved. Carey and SFAAT Archangel commander U.S. Army Capt. Nicholas Drake were available to

When the thoroughfare was cleared, ANA forces then moved on to removing insurgents from the surrounding community. Along with Bashir, U.S. troops remained a short distance from that action in a supervisory capacity. In the end, the mission served to intimidate insurgents through a show of force. Military sources explain the presence of a strong ANSF serves to undermine potential threats by enemy combatants.

Program gives young adults a second chance by chris agee A program open to young adults throughout Parker County provides resources and opportunities for those with a juvenile criminal record. A U.S. Department of Labor grant of $1.5 million funds three years of the program, based locally at the Community Learning Center in Weatherford. According to program manager Kathy Daniel, men and women between 18 and 21 years old who have been convicted in the juvenile justice system can take part in classes designed to teach them a trade. In addition to a continued education, the program also provides the opportunity for internships and participants can

earn a stipend while enrolled. Anyone convicted of a crime as an adult cannot participate, though those with a pending case or who have received deferred adjudication are not excluded. The most popular course allows students to receive national certification in construction after completing between six and eight months of training. Internships in other disciplines are also available. Though there is no impending deadline to register, Daniel suggests interested individuals begin the process as soon as possible. To learn more about the program, contact Connie Anderson at (817) 793-9554.

experience and extensive military service. And Bryan saw plenty of conflict. He served two tours of duty in Vietnam – one in the Army in 1967-78 and another as a Marine in 1971-72 – and also fought in Desert Storm in 1990-91 as a member of the Air Force. Bryan worked on Air Force One for President George H. Bush into 1993. Next, he served in the Navy on the USS Nashville and USS Mount Whitney in 197475. Bryan capped his military career with two years as a state air national guardsman. These accomplishments were heralded to the large crowd, then, when Bryan and wife Susan were shown on the giant screen, a long ovation ensued. Another lengthy applause followed Bryan

and his wife out of the stadium when they exited in the eighth inning. “It was a bit overwhelming when the crowd repeated the ovation while walking up the steps,” Bryan said. “This event is seared for good in our memory forever.” It was a return to a professional stadium for Bryan; he was the batboy for the Cincinnati Reds from 1959-62. In that era, stars like Frank Robinson and Vada Pinson played to great acclaim. This time, the applause in a major league stadium was for Bryan.

Above, Hall of Famer Nolan Ryan invited Joseph Bryan to Rangers Ballpark in Arlington July 29 to honor his long military service. Joseph Bryan and wife, Susan bask in lengthy applause (left) when the duo was broadcast on the giant screen during the Texas-California baseball game in Arlington.
