Ash Creek Park mosquito tests positive for WNV BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN One tiny mosquito. It may not sound like much, but when it’s collected in an Azle park and it tests positive for West Nile Virus (WNV) – well, it’s disconcerting, to say the least. The city of Azle participates in the WNV testing program with Tarrant County Public Health (TCPH). City officials were notified Wednesday, Aug. 5, that a mosquito sample collected at Ash Creek Park had tested

positive for the virus. Consequently, that park and the surrounding area along Twilight Drive and Dusk Avenue were sprayed for adult mosquitoes Friday night, Aug. 7 into the early morning hours of Saturday, Aug. 8. The product used is Envion 30-30. Envion is designed for application as an Ultra-Low Volume (ULV) or thermal aerosol to control adult mosquitoes and fl ies in areas such as, but not limited to: residential areas, indus-

West Entrance Gate Rising at Hornet Field

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN If you live inside the city of Azle, your property tax bill and your water/ sewer bill will likely go up a little next year. But in the grand scheme of things, Azle residents still get that proverbial “whole lot of bang for their buck.” The 2015 tax rate proposed to Azle’s city council by longtime City Manager Craig Lemin is $0.6795 – just shy One benefi t from the long stretch of no rain is that work on the new west entrance to Hornet Field is making great progress.

Woman dies in Eagle Mountain boating accident BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN The body of a Fort Worth woman was recovered from Eagle Mountain Lake about 6 p.m. Monday, Aug. 10, following a boating accident the night before. The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Offi ce has identifi ed the woman as Wendy Nugen, 46. Capt. Cliff Swofford with Texas Parks and Wildlife Department said his agency received a call about 7:20 p.m. Sunday, Aug. 9, about a person

missing in the water following a boat- Swofford said. “Using side-scan Sonar, we were ing accident near Lakeview Marina in able to locate a boat in about 25 feet the northeast portion of EML.

tion team is assisting Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) in investigating the incident, and Swofford said. “I can’t say enough about the quality of investigation by TRWD. They are investigating the accident, and our game wardens are assisting them,” he said. Witness accounts indicated the speedboat was traveling fast when the accident occurred, Swofford said. “It’s a speedboat – it’s sleek, slim, and aerodynamic.” Swofford said. “The witnesses reported it hit a wave,

which created lift that sent it straight up, and it came back down at a slight angle, hit the water and sank.” Swofford said he couldn’t say for sure that the boat’s impact with the water caused it to break apart, but confi rmed the boat was “not intact” when it was located at the bottom of EML. The 49-year-old male victim spent the night in the Intensive Care Unit, but Swofford said he has learned his condition has been updated to “stable.”

Area mobile home destroyed in blaze BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN

A young couple and their toddler were lucky to escape a blaze about noon Saturday, Aug. 8, which destroyed the single-wide mobile home they were renting. The fi re in the 200 block of Gold Lane rendered the home a complete loss, according to Tarrant County Deputy Fire Marshal Keith Ebel. In searching for a cause of the fi re, Ebel said he could not rule out an electric light on the mobile home’s front porch. Ebel said the couple and their child, who were asleep at the time, were wakened by smoke. The man jumped up to see what was going on and discovered fi re coming through the A pair of Hornets work hard during Azle’s ongoing two- front door. He was able to get his fama-day practices.

ily out of the burning home safely. Ebel said that while it’s certainly possible a smoke detector could have burned up in the fi re, he did not locate one at the scene. “Just in case there are people out there who don’t know, Texas law requires that every rental property be equipped with a working smoke detector,” Ebel advised. Firefighters and apparatus from Azle, Lake Worth, Eagle Mountain, Saginaw, River Oaks, and Saginaw responded to the fire, in addition to the American Red Cross. Because of the absence of fi re hydrants in the semi-rural area, tanker trucks were utilized to bring water to the fi re scene.

TxDOT: ‘We did not remove crosses’ Memorial items have disappeared twice BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN

The Aug. 5 edition of The Azle News had been out just hours – subscribers would not receive their copy in the mail until the next day – when two crosses were removed from a memorial to Brandyn and Matthew Lunsford located near the Denver Trail exit on eastbound SH 199. A front page story in that paper recounted the accident that took the lives of the brothers when they were just 14 and 18, as well as the heartbreak their father experienced a few weeks earlier when the crosses had disappeared from the memorial. Sometime between 5:30 p.m. and 9 p.m. Wednesday, Aug. 5, two brand new crosses, purchased and placed at the memorial by friends of the Lunsford family, also disappeared. Lee Lunsford, Matthew and Brandyn’s father, was incredulous. A spirited exchange on The Azle News’ Facebook page ensued, with one person strenuously asserting that the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT) had surely taken the crosses down because they did not comply with its regulations for roadside memorials. The crosses were discovered the following day by a News reporter who stopped by to photograph what was left of the memorial. They were spied about 35 feet away in a nearby grassy area. Several people pointed out three separate memorials in the

mile-and-a-quarter stretch of the highway between the Stewart Street Bridge and Porter Drive, each of which were not disturbed either time the Lunsford crosses disappeared. Val Lopez is a spokesperson for TxDOT, and he confirmed that his agency did not take the crosses down in either instance. “As a rule, we are very sensitive to the families. If there is an issue with the size or the materials the memorials are made of we do the best we can to reach out to the families in-

volved, to work with them to make sure they (memorials) are safe for motorists,” Lopez said. “We don’t want them to be made of big pieces of metal, for instance, that might be damaging to people or vehicles if they go off the road and hit them.” TxDOT’s most current policy concerning memorials along Texas’ highway system can be found in Section 10, Memorial Markers Within the Right of After disappearing a second time, crosses from the Lunsford memorial at the Den Way of TxDOT’s Use of Right ver Trail exit were discovered about 35 feet away in a grassy area. of Way Manual, beginning on Photos by Carla Noah page 3-19.

CorreCtion

Last week, we had a front page photo of an accident on Boyd Road where a pedestrian was struck. The headline said “Boyd Road Hit and Run” – that was incorrect. The incident was not a hit and run. Also, the accident took place on Thursday, July 30; the cutline said Friday. The News regrets the errors.

1 Corinthians 10:31 So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do, do all to the glory of God.

Memorials like these along SH 199 in Azle are reminders of lives lost on the highway.

of 68 cents per $100 of property valuation. That represents a rate increase of $0.0115 or 1.15 cents. Of the proposed $0.6795 tax rate, $0.5415 will be allocated to operations and maintenance (O&M), with the remaining $0.1380 going to debt service. The proposed tax rate is $0.0129 more the effective tax rate of $0.6666; it is $0.0265 below the roll back rate of $0.7060. The effective tax rate is the rate that would have to be applied to the current values in order to raise the same amount of revenue it raised the previous year. The roll back rate is the rate at which the city becomes subject to a tax rollback election at which local voters may reduce the tax levy increase to an eight-percent increase. But here are the numbers most people will be looking at: the owner of a home valued at $100,000 will see an average increase of $11.50 on their next tax bill, while the owner of a home valued at $200,000 will see an average increase of $23 for the year. An increase in the water and sewer base rates proposed as part of the Fiscal Year (FY) 2015-16 budget will result in an increase of 3.2 percent for an average residential water and sewer customer, according to documents contained within the budget.

The first hearing will take place during a special meeting of the city council beginning at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Aug. 25, at City Hall, 613 Southeast Parkway in Azle. The second is set for the regular council meeting at 6 p.m. Tuesday, Sept. 1, also at City Hall. The council will hold a second special meeting Tuesday, Sept. 8 at which it will adopt a budget as well as a tax rate for FY 2015-16. It’s all about the value Taxable value within the city is up from last year, but not enough to cover rising expenses. The proposed appraised value for 2015 is $815,320,817, up from $785,277,141 in 2014. Agricultural exemptions are down a little – from $8,225,008 in 2014 to $7,434,101 proposed for 2015. Over 65 exemptions are up also, from $12,755,607 in 2014 to $13,256,500 proposed for 2015. That brings the projected net taxable value for 2015 to $671,022,948. It was $659,479,242 in

He thanked all staff members who contributed to this year’s budget process for their help and singled out Assistant City Manager Lawrence Bryant, Administrative Assistant Susie Hiles, and Finance Director Renita Bishop. “Their help each year has been invaluable in putting together the numbers and many documents in the budget,” he said.

2015 Property Tax Rates in PARKER COUNTY EMERGENCY SERVICES DISTRICT #1 This notice concerns 2015 property tax rates for the Parker County Emergency Services District#1. It presents information about three tax rates. Last year’s tax rate is the actual rate the taxing unit used to determine property taxes last year. This year’s effective tax rate would impose the same taxes as last year if you compare properties taxed in both years. This year’s rollback rate is the highest rate the taxing unit can set before taxpayers can start tax rollback procedures. In each case, these rates are found by dividing the total amount of taxes by the tax base (total value of taxable property) with adjustments as required by state law. These rates are given per $100 of value. Last year’s tax rate: Last year’s operating taxes Last year’s debt taxes Last year’s total taxes Last year’s tax base Last year’s total tax rate This year’s effective tax rate: Last year’s adjusted taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property) / This year’s adjusted tax base (after subtracting value of new & annexed property) = This year’s effective tax rate This year’s rollback tax rate: Last year’s adjusted operating taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property & adjusting for any transferred function, tax increment financing, state criminal justice mandates, and/or enhanced indigent health care expenditures) / This year’s adjusted tax base = This year’s effective operating rate X 1.08= this year’s maximum operating rate + This year’s debt rate = This year’s total rollback rate

Park positive mosquito test instigates spraying n PARK, FROM PAGE ONE.

• When you are outdoors, use insect repellent containing an EPA-registered active ingredient. Follow the directions on the package. • Many mosquitoes are most active from dusk to dawn. Wear long sleeve shirts, long pants and socks sprayed with repellent if you plan to be outdoors when mosquitoes are most active. Or consider staying indoors when the mosquitoes are biting. • Make sure the screens on your windows and doors are in good shape. This helps keep mosquitoes from getting indoors. • Get rid of mosquito breeding sites by emptying standing water from flowerpots, buckets and other things that hold water. Change the water in pet dishes, and replace the water in birdbaths weekly. Drill holes in tire swings so water drains out. Keep children’s’ wading pools empty and on their sides when they aren’t being used. • Every resident can take control and stop West Nile Virus. Mosquitoes must have standing water in which to begin their life cycle. Almost any con-

tainer or area of standing water presents a potential “mosquito nursery” in which eggs can be laid. Residents are encouraged to eliminate mosquito-breeding areas from their yards and community. • Consider using DEET or Picaridin – “conventional repellents” – or oil of lemon eucalyptus, “PMD,” or “IR3535” – considered “biopesticides.” WNV facts • Mosquitoes become infected when they feed on infected birds. WNV can cause fever, inflammation of the brain, the lining of the brain and the spinal cord. WNV can be transmitted year-round in Texas. • Most people have no symptoms – in fact, up to 80 percent of people infected with WNV do not develop symptoms. • About 20 percent of infected people will develop a fever with other symptoms such as headache, body aches, joint pains, vomiting, diarrhea, or rash. Most people with this type of WNV disease recover completely, but fatigue and weakness can last for weeks or months. • Less than one percent of infected people develop in-

flammation of the brain or surrounding tissues. The symptoms of neurologic illness can include headache, high fever, neck stiffness, disorientation, coma, tremors, seizures, or paralysis. • WNV often spreads by the bite of an infected mosquito. In a very small number of cases, WNV also has been spread through blood transfusions, organ transplants, breastfeed ing, and pregnancy. WNV is not spread through casual contact such as touching or kissing a person infected with the virus. • Currently there is no WNV vaccine available for people. • The incubation period for WNV is usually two to six days, but ranges from two to 14 days. • Cancer, diabetes, hypertension and kidney disease patients are at a greater risk of contracting WNV. • Pain relievers can reduce fever and relieve some symptoms. People with milder symptoms typically recover on their own. In more severe cases, patients are often hospitalized to receive supportive treatment, such as intravenous fluids, pain medication, and nursing care.

Here are a few tips to reduce your chances of being bitten: Limit time outdoors at dusk and night, Use insect repellents such as DEET, Picaridin, oil of lemon eucalyptus or IR3535 on your skin. Wear socks, long-sleeved shirts and pants Remove items from your yard that collect water and clean clogged gutters. Keep wading pools empty when not in use and store them on their sides. Replace water in bird baths weekly . Do not use perfume, cologne or other scented products such as deodorant, soap or lotion if going outside, as fragrances may attract mosquitoes.

The City will continue to trap mosquitos at locations throughout the city and test through Tarrant County Public Health to monitor the mosquito population for mosquito-borne illnesses.

Azle News

Pedestrian struck by vehicle on Boyd Road dies Azle man had tried to cross busy roadway in the dark BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN An Azle man who was struck by a vehicle when he attempted to cross Boyd Road on foot has died, The Azle News has learned. Ted Gerald Wright, 57, died at a Fort Worth hospital at 6:07 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 11, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office. Wright was struck in the 900 block of Boyd Road about 10:35 p.m. Thursday, July 30.

According to an accident report filed by the Azle Police Department, Wright ran southwest across the roadway and failed to yield the right-of-way to a southbound white 2009 Pontiac Torrent driven by Chelsie Eldonae Brown, 28, of Springtown, who remained at the scene. Wright suffered critical injuries and was transported to a trauma center by CareFlite air ambulance. Azle Police Sgt. Bill Jones and Reserve Sgt. Vernon Leonard, both certified accident investigators, worked the accident scene, according to Lt. Bill Russell of the Azle PD.

“It is so unfortunate that Mr. Wright has passed away; however, the accident report will not change as a result of his passing,” Russell said. “The responsibility and contributing factors still rest upon the fact that the victim himself tried to cross a busy street, with little ability to do so safely, and it ultimately cost him his life.” Because Wright died within 30 days of his injuries, investigators will file additional state-required documentation since the incident is now classified as a Texas fatality accident, Russell added.

2015 Property Tax Rates in City of Azle This notice concerns the 2015 property tax rates for City of 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.

Missing all that rain from a few months back yet?

emember that time it rained a lot? Two months ago? Just a little while back, it would not stop raining, and we begged

it to stop. Well, it’s stopped. Now, after already receiving more rain by July than we usually get in an entire year, we are setting records on the other end of the spectrum. The precipitation has, well, dried up. It last rained – officially at DFW Airport – July 8; that’s 34 days as of

Tuesday Aug. 11 and counting. This stretch of dry days is the eighth longest in local weather history. In fact, it’s been so dry since some roads got washed away in the early summer that drought notifications are being issued again; some areas around here are “abnormally dry,” the first notch on the drought monitor rankings. Almost no rain is forecast for the next two months – traditionally the driest on the calendar anyway. Like with most records, there is more than one way to land on an extreme list.

The National Weather Service Dallas/ Fort Worth record-book has categories for “consecutive days without measurable precipitation” and “consecuON YOUR tive days without any precipMARK itation.” There’s quite Mark K. Campbell

a difference. On the former list where enough stray drops might’ve fallen to create a “trace,” the longest stretch we’ve ever gone without measurable precipitation is 84 days – from July 1 to Sept. 22, 2000. We’re a long way from that right now. However, this current streak of 34 days is already racing up the no rain at all chart; it’s at No. 6 – tied with July 11-Aug 12, 1999. A chance for an isolated storm on Tuesday, Aug 11 did not materialize. So, with no other rain on the horizon

into next week, this current stretch will continue to move up the standings. Next up is 39 days (in 1917 and 1993) then 40 (in 1903 [from Nov. 1 to Dec. 10, curiously]). The latter will be tied if no rain falls through Monday; that’ll move us up to No. 3. Then comes 45 days (June 8-July 22, 1978). We might as well shoot for the alltime record which is 55 days from July 30-Sept. 22, 2000. That would mean no rain until Sept. 2. Go us? Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and thinks he was a weatherman in another life.

Winning well

recently received, as a gift, a collection of poetry. The friend who gave it to me told me about the author, his mother’s cousin, who wrote thousands of quatrains (four line poems) over several decades. He described her as the smartest person he had ever known (quite a compliment coming from a retired university professor), and also described her writing process. She kept two typewriters side by side on her desk. On one, she did her regular work. On the other, she composed her poetry. Every time she had an idea for a verse, she went immediately to her typewriter and got it on paper. I told him I was glad that I live in the age of the smart phone. It’s a lot easier to keep up with my writing ideas than it would be if I had to carry a typeLIFE MATTERS writer around with me. I never know when a writing idea will hit or what will become of it. This morning, during my devotional time, Gerry Lewis I read an unfamiliar (to me) hymn written by Benjamin M. Ramsey (1849-1923). The hymn, Teach Me Thy Way, O Lord, was written around 1919. The four simple verses (quatrains themselves) are as follows:

Teach me Thy way, O Lord, Teach me Thy way! Thy guiding grace afford–Teach me Thy way! Help me to walk aright, More by faith, less by sight; Lead me with heavenly light, Teach me Thy way! When I am sad at heart, Teach me Thy way! When earthly joys depart, Teach me Thy way! In hours of loneliness, in times of dire distress, In failure or success, Teach me Thy way! When doubts and fears arise, Teach me Thy way! When storms o’erspread the skies, Teach me Thy way! Shine through the cloud and rain, through sorrow, toil and pain; Make Thou my pathway plain, Teach me Thy way! Long as my life shall last, Teach me Thy way! Where’er my lot be cast, Teach me Thy way! Until the race is run, until the journey’s done, Until the crown is won, Teach me Thy way! As I read these verses, two things struck me. The first was a true sense of encouragement that, no matter the challenges in which I find myself, God has a “way” for me to follow. The second was my “Aha” for the day. All of these verses describe challenges and difficulties. When life is hard, when we experience loss, we are aware that we need God’s guiding presence. But what about the times when we win? Are we any less in need of God’s guidance? How can we win well? Inspired by that thought, I wrote a fifth quatrain with which I will finish today. In moments filled with peace, Teach me Thy way! In joy and sweet release, Teach me Thy way! When a smile is on my face, when my laughter filled the place; When I celebrate Your grace, Teach me Thy way!

Henry Ford – not the automaker – helped Calif. rebels in 1846

racking down historic stories is like solving a murder mystery and often as difficult. Fred B. Rogers researched the story of the man who suggested the famous grizzly bear on a white sheet that became the banner for rebels in California in 1846, calling themselves the Bear Flag Republic. Rogers' book: Bear Flag Lieutenant. Ford, a descendant of ancestors who arrived in the English colonies in the early 1600s, actually was named Noah Eastland Ford when he was born in New Hampshire in 1820, the youngest of six children. In 1840 he traveled to Boston to work, but within a year enlisted in the dragoons of the U.S. Army. Family stories indicate that he got into an “altercation” with an officer and deserted on October 6, 1842. He apparently regretted that impulsive action the rest of his life. To keep from being caught, he stowed away on a ship heading to the Pacific and ultimately California. When discovered on the ship, he gave the name of an

THE

older brother, Henry, rather than a fake name, and used that identification the rest of his life. Author and researcher Rogers discovered that a letter addressed to Noah E. Ford was cited in an “unclaimed letter” list in a San Francisco newspaper in October 1847. “Henry” apparently arrived in Northern California in September, 1843. On April 19, 1844 he made a declaration of American citizenship and was given a passport and allowed to remain in what then was Mexican California. Ford got a job as a hunter, working for John Sutter of Sutter's Fort fame. He helped supply skins for the fort to sell to ships that docked in Yerba Buena, present San Francisco. By March 1845 Ford made his living buying and selling cattle, horses and mules. He learned Spanish in order to carry on his business. Incidents and rumors that the Mexican government would oust foreigners (Americans) caused unrest. Americans also believed that the Mexican officials were inciting Indians to burn their crops. Captain John C. Fremont, U.S.

Americans who organized themselves, either for protection, PAGES FROM or eventually WESTERN to revolt (which did), inHISTORY they cluded the man J’Nell L. Pate going by the name Henry L. Ford. The Americans looked to Captain Fremont for leadership. At Sonoma where the troops gathered, the men decided they needed a flag to fly instead of Mexico's red, white and green one. From a bed sheet they made a flag with a red star on the left, a red stripe of cloth with “CALIFORNIA REPUBLIC” outlined in Publisher Kim Ware

black, and above those words a grizzly bear, also in red, facing the star. Many years later one of the men who worked on the flag wrote a letter to a Los Angeles newspaper listing the men involved and said that Henry Ford suggested the grizzly bear because it was “respected as a fighter by Americans and Californians alike.” The U.S. Department of the Navy turned over the original “bear flag” of the “Bear Flag Republic” to the Society of California Pioneers in 1855. Unfortunately, it burned in the San Francisco fire caused by the earthquake in 1906. The California legislature adopted a version of the flag as the state flag February 3, 1911. Ford in his own writings said the idea of the grizzly was his, and no one challenged that claim. When the men organized themselves militarily, they elected Ford as a first lieutenant, probably because he told his friends about his service for a year in the dragoons. The Bear Flag Revolt ended quickly, but the United States by then was at war with Mexico. Ford

continued to serve under Fremont. After the war Ford became a partner in a ranch near Sacramento. He served as an officer in the upper Sacramento division of the Society of California Pioneers. Ford married the daughter of a family that arrived in California in 1849, but she died of “consumption” in 1852. A baby son died too. Ford served as a sub-agent on several Indian reservations beginning in 1854. In July 1860 while Ford placed a saddle on his horse, a pistol attached to the saddle horn accidently discharged. The ball struck Ford in the neck, and he died instantly. He didn't know that his lasting claim to fame would be his suggestion that a grizzly bear represent the fighting spirit of the early California pioneers on their permanent flag. To the Californians, I suppose that grizzly is as important as the “lone star” is to Texans.

V’ball splits 2015 openers by mark k. campbell The Lady Hornet volleyball team opened the 2015 season at Decatur with a pair of matches against the hosts and Joshua. Azle (1-1) fell in three games to Decatur – the 4A defending state champs and state-ranked this season – then swept the Lady Owls. In that latter contest, AHS won 25-22, 25-23, 25-14. Earlier, the Lady Hornets had prepared with two-a-day practices and a flurry of scrimmages. AHS Coach Jennifer Robinson said this Azle squad is different from the 2014 group that won 26 matches and advanced to the postseason. “We have many new faces on varsity this season,” she said. “There is a lot of learning going on and we are getting better every day,” the coach noted. “I think there will be some definite surprises this year.”

Football 2-a-days ongoing by mark k. campbell On Aug. 11, cloud cover offered relief from the sun but not the relentless humidity early on during two-a-day practices. The opening day of the 2015 football season saw temperatures rise to 106 in the afternoon – but the Hornets were already safely out of the weather. Azle practices – which began Monday, Aug. 10 – run from 6:30 a.m. until noon. The pads go on Friday. The practice schedule changes Monday. Then, varsity and JV Hornets hit the field in the morning from 6:30-8:30 and from 4-7:30 in the afternoon. On Thursday, Aug. 20, the annual Meet the Hornets gathering for parents runs from 7-8 p.m. at the high school. The only scrimmage sends Azle to Burleson Friday, Aug. 21 where all squads will battle in the morning to avoid the heat. The JV and freshmen start at 8:30. The varsity follows at 10 at the stadium at 100 Elk Drive. Then, varsity will meet Saturday for an hour from 10-11 a.m. School begins Monday, Aug. 24 with pre-bell practices.

Movie Man

Azle News Wednesday, August 12, 2015

Fantastic Four reboot anything but fantastic Oh, my, the advance buzz was right about the Fantastic Four. While the Movie Man had some hope based on previews, negative rumblings began months ago – and, boy howdy, were they right.

where they belong, into the upper levels of the pantheon of the Marvel universe. This latest FF is terrible and has set by Reed, Sue, Johnny, and Ben back years – it’s downright inhuman.

Fantastic Four

Reboot gets clobbered Starring: Miles Teller, Kate Mara, Michael B Jordan, Jamie Bell Directed by: Josh Trank Rated PG-13: mild language, comic book violence, some gore

What doesn’t work The dialogue in this movie is horrible. The Movie Man was hoping it was aping lines from actual early comics; but, no, it’s just bad writing. The fi lm looks like it was made for a junior high class project. Director Josh Trank helmed a very good debut – Chronicle (2012, MM #968, 7) – and he swears this version of FF is nothing like he had created before the dreaded “studio interference.” Even worse is the computer generation. The movie resembles an early ‘80’s second billing/straight to video effort with its penny-ante effects. Fox abandoned earlier planned 3-D and that was a wise move. Bad CG in 3-D would really be bad. The fi rst real set piece, on the other planet’s surface, is laughably amateurish. And the climactic battle might be the worst superhero vs. nemesis confrontation of all time. None of the actors seem to fi t their roles.

How to beat the heat Follow these tips to help conserve energy and stay cool BY MISTY SHAW Is it fall yet? Cooler weather just can’t get here fast enough, with recent daytime high temperatures staying well above the century mark. And as the mercury rises, so too do utility bills, drought conditions, and the risk of heatrelated illnesses. Here’s some helpful advice from the experts to help you save on energy bills, conserve water, and cope with the heat

wave. Conserve energy, save cash It’s tempting to crank up the air conditioning on a sweltering summer day, but simply put, when you conserve energy, you save money. These energy saving tips were recommended by Jamie Wooldridge, president of Berkeys Air Conditioning, Plumbing and Electrical for customers in Azle, Springtown, and surrounding areas:

• programmable thermostats “From an HVAC standpoint, one of the biggest savings is getting and using a programmable thermostat,” said Wooldridge. “A lot of people have them but don’t utilize them very well, and you can save $280 or more annually just by setting the programmable thermostat at 78 to 80 degrees when you’re away from home. “Or you can invest in a zoning system, where you can actually control the temperature

of individual rooms in your house,” Wooldridge added. “But just the basic standard programmable thermostat, using that and having the temperature up by five degrees will save you couple hundred dollars a year. “The Energy Department says each degree you raise on your thermostat can save two percent on your total energy bill.”

The many benefits of massage therapy Advertisements for vacation destinations often paint couples’ massages as the premier romantic activity. It’s true that massages can be relaxing and sensual, making such sessions ideal gifts come Valentine’s Day. Yet, massages aren’t just sultry oils and New Age music. They can actually be very good for overall health. Massage therapy is beneficial in various ways. Massage is no

longer just available in upscale health clubs or luxury spas. Massage spas have cropped up in malls, hospitals, clinics, and even office buildings, making massage therapy that much more accessible. The Mayo Clinic notes that while more research is needed to confirm the benefits of massage, it may be helpful for a variety of health ailments. In addition to easing sore mus-

Rejuvenate

cles, reducing joint pain and helping soft tissue strains or injuries, massage can promote relaxation, reduce anxiety and calm feelings of stress. Massage reduces levels of the stress hormone cortisol. This helps to lift spirits and can often lower blood pressure. Massage also may help to boost the neurotransmitters dopamine and serotonin, which are associated with depression. According to Health magazine, massage also can help promote healthy sleep. It has something to do with the effect of massage on delta waves, which are the brain waves con-

nected to deep sleep. There is some evidence that massage can also increase white blood cell counts, promoting improved immunity. Many people rely on massages to relieve pain. According to a report published in 2011 in the American College of Physicians’ “Annals of Internal Medicine,” massage helps people in pain feel and function better than those who do not receive treatment. Massage can alleviate stiffness and pain and promote a better range of motion. And pain relief is not just for the back, arms and legs. Massage can reduce risk for

migraines and decrease pain from tension headaches. Massage even has beauty benefits. Rubbing the face and scalp can promote blood flow and encourage lymphatic drainage. This can add vitality to the complexion and plump up the skin. Dull hair may appear more shiny and revitalized. People can explore different types of massage and experiment with what works best for their ailments. Everything from Swedish massage to reflexology is offered at massage clinics. Because massage involves being partially or completely undressed and having a mas-

sage therapist touch various areas of the body, it is important to find a therapist with whom you feel comfortable. Make sure that the therapist is fully certified and qualified. It also helps if he or she is properly vetted by the spa or clinic. Therapists will heed a person’s preferences with regard to the massage, only concentrating on the areas specified. If anything feels uncomfortable or a client prefers not to have an area of the body touched, he or she simply needs to address that with the therapist at the beginning of the session.
