City eyes tiny tax increase Proposed hike is less than one cent by carla noah stutsman As tax increases go, the one proposed by Azle City Manager Craig Lemin in order to fund operations of the city for fiscal year 2014-2015 is a dinky one. At $0.0085 per $100 valuation, the proposed increase is less than a penny – 85 percent of one cent, in fact. The Azle city council will hold two public hearings – on Aug. 26 and Sept. 2 – at which citizens may provide input before a final budget and tax rate are adopted Sept. 9. While the city remains on a solid financial foundation, Lemin said in a letter to council members, the state of the economy as well as prolonged drought do affect the proposed budget. Lemin further said the proposed budget attempts to maintain current service and employee levels with minimal new programs created. It also continues a focus toward paying off all debt related to Cross Timbers Golf Course by 2016 – an important goal of the council. Highlights of the proposed budget include: • Funding for the 10-step employee pay plan. • Creation of an Economic Development Director position to be shared

with Municipal Development District. • Upgrade of two Library Assistant II positions to Librarian. • Purchase of a new cardiac monitor, three new police vehicles, a new mower, a transmission fluid exchanger, a portable sprayer for crack sealing, and a lift gate. • Capital projects include 15-inch sewer trunk line rehab, Stewart Street sewer line relocation, Sunset water line upgrade, and drainage projects on Ash Street and Golfers Way. • Street maintenance fund includes funds for reclamation of three roadways. • Continued updating of computer systems and software. • Completion of city-wide network. • Upgrade of high service pump at water plant. • No increase in water, sewer or stormwater utility rates. The numbers According to information contained in the budget, total taxable value of real property inside the city limits is $657,678,500 for 2014, an increase of $13,073,574 (2.02 percent) from the 2013 final total of $644,604,926. This increase includes $8,179,726 in new construction. PLEASE SEE HIKE, PAGE 2A.

Friends hold prayer vigil for Brandi Dickey by carla noah stutsman Central Park in Azle may look like a sea of pink Saturday evening, Aug. 23, as friends and family of Brandi Dickey come together to pray for the Azle native who continues her fiveyear battle with melanoma.

A powerful thunderstorm packing 65 mile-per-hour downburst winds slammed into Azle Saturday, Aug. 16 around 3:15 p.m. The storm dropped more than an inch of rain in some places; it also dropped a few trees, like this one near the corner of W. Main Street and Speer Street. Runoff from the rain filled bar ditches that flow into creeks that run into Eagle Mountain Lake. Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman

by carla noah stutsman When the Board of Trustees for the Azle Independent School District requested a $20 million bond package last year to finance a new competition gym, career and technology education center, and sprinkler system for Azle High School, Board President Bill Lane asked residents for “a couple of pennies” on the tax rate. But at its regular meeting Monday, Aug. 18, the board adopted the proposed budget for fiscal year 20142015 along with a tax rate that’s just one-and-a-quarter cent higher than the current rate. The budget adopted by the board sets forth projected total revenues of $51,791,055 against total expenditures of $51,671,469. The board adopted a tax rate for

maintenance and operations (M&O) of $1.04 and a rate for interest and sinking (I&S) of $0.163 for a total tax rate of $1.203 per $100 valuation. Highlights of the budget include a 3 percent salary increase for all district employees, as well as special budget requests for HVAC repairs in the amount of $300,000; $40,000 for band instruments at Hoover Elementary and Forte Junior High based on increased enrollment; $35,000 for security upgrades/ surveillance cameras throughout the district; two new buses at a cost of $85,000 each; and $17,000 for the purchase of a new baseball scoreboard.

Rollover kills teen girl by carla noah stutsman Saturday’s intense thunderstorm proved deadly when a 13-year-old Palmer girl was killed in a one-car rollover on Farmer Road south of Azle. According to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner, Cassidy Breana Fuller, 13, was pronounced deceased at the scene in the 2600 block of Farmer Road at 4:04 p.m. Aug. 16. Fuller was a back-seat passenger in a 1994 Ford Explorer driven by Kristen Cherie Spencer, 27, of Willow Park, according to information received from Trooper Dub Gillum of the Texas Department of Public Safety. Gillum said Spencer’s vehicle carried three additional passengers: Christopher Lee Rose, 28, of Willow Park; and two juvenile females, aged A water main break caused an 80-foot gusher Aug. 19 on Highway 199 in front of The GEM.

and Rose were wearing seatbelts, however, none of the girls in the vehicle were. Gillum said the Explorer was northbound on Farmer Road, also known as FM 3325 and may have hydroplaned due to a thunderstorm in the area. The SUV went off the right side of the roadway and rolled twice before striking a metal pole. All three back seat passengers were ejected from the vehicle. Both Spencer and Lee were transported to Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Fort Worth; the two surviving girls were taken to Cook Children’s Medical Center in Fort Worth. All four are now reported to be in stable condition, although one girl did suffer incapacitating injuries. Gillum said speed as well as the wet roadway were listed as contributing causes of the accident.

Longtime local pastor dies

Board adopts budget n BOARD, FROM PAGE ONE.

‘Encourager’ Conway a fixture around Springtown by mark k. campbell If you were in Springtown very long at all, you ran into Johnnie Conway. Sadly, that won’t happen anymore. The pastor of Hilltop Family Church, Conway died on the morning of Aug. 19. Always involved with the town’s activities, Conway, aka “Brother John,” had taken part in the Springtown ISD’s invocation service the previous day. Conway was found Tuesday morning and could not be revived, the cause suspected to be a heart-related issue, according to a notice on the Hilltop website. The church also posted online: “It is with a heavy heart that we inform you our beloved Pastor Johnnie Conway has gone to be with the Lord. We do rejoice in knowing that he is in the presence of our amazing Savior.” Keith Warren, an SHS grad and current executive pastor at Weatherford’s North Side Baptist Church, said he and Conway went back years. “I was the second employee and the first youth minister at Hilltop,” Warren recalled. “Back in those days, it was just John and I. I will never forget

that he was willing to do just about anything to get people to come to church.” News of Conway’s death rattled Springtown. The effervescent man with the quick laugh and ready hug was plugged into most activities in town. Amy Walker, executive director of the Springtown Chamber of Commerce, said the startling news brought “selfish” thoughts to her. “Who is going to coordinate the children’s area for the Wild West Festival? Who will I call if the LED marquee stops working?” Walker questioned. She added that she was about to ask Conway to include her youngest son in the pastor’s prayers since her boy will be entering his senior year at SHS. Walker said, “John was a unique gift, a special gift that you treasure forever. I will always consider myself blessed to have been a part of his life; he was a special man.” Former SISD superintendent Andrea Hungerford noted that plenty of people in Springtown knew and loved Conway. “He was such a supportive community member and a

champion for Springtown students and teachers,” she said. “He gave his time and energy for the betterment of the community. His handprint was on so many events, activities and charities. “He lived out his Christian beliefs by serving others.” Springtown ISD Superintendent Mike Kelley echoed Hungerford when it came to Conway’s support of the school district. Kelley said, “The district has been blessed by his participation in convocations, board meetings, and baccalaureates, and he has always been a tremendous supporter of our schools.” One way Conway gathered the community was as host for the annual National Day of Prayer each May. The pastor would encourage others to pray for distinct areas or topics as he directed the morning’s activities and happily doled out door prizes from the Hilltop facility stage. Walker said, “He was a very special man to so many.” Hungerford noted, “He embraced others, including me, with his humor, wit, and acceptance. He will be missed.” While the loss is painful to many, Kelley said, “I have confidence that the community will

Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman rally to pick up the pieces he’s left behind; he was involved with a lot of different things outside of just his congregation. John was always among the first to provide an encouraging word or offer support when he recognized a need. “John will be sorely missed.” Similar notations were made on Conway’s personal Facebook page as well as the Epigraph’s. Warren summed Conway up for many: “He loved and was loved by many. He was one of a kind for sure. I know he will be missed.”

Accountability Report Assistant Superintendent Tanya Anderson presented the district’s 2014 State Accountability Report, including House Bill 5 requirements. Each campus within the Azle ISD “met standard” except the Azle Hornet Academy, which received a rating of “improvement required,” Anderson said. That news prompted discussion and questions by board members, who eventually agreed to monitor the Hornet Academy’s performance. All seemed to agree that the good the “second chance” program does for students who might otherwise not finish their high school education might be worth any “ding” its accountability rating might take. But Anderson still had some good news up her sleeve. Cross Timbers Elementary not only “met standard” – it also received “distinction” in four specific areas: Academic Achievement Reading/ELA;

Hike proposed by city less than one cent n HIKE, FROM PAGE ONE.

This year’s total taxable value remains $1,785,377 below the 2009 total taxable value. Total value of properties in Parker County dropped $1,571,200 from 2013 total. A combined tax rate of $0.6680 per $100 in valuation is proposed for FY 2014-15, with $0.5272 allocated to the general fund for operations and maintenance (O&M) and $0.1408 allocated to debt service. The proposed rate is an increase of $0.0085 over the FY 2013-14 rate of $0.6595. The $0.1408 rate allocated

to debt service will generate $926,011. The $0.5272 rate allocated to O&M will generate $3,467,281. The proposed rate is 1.27 cents above the effective rate of $0.6553; it is 2.6 cents below the roll back rate of $0.6940. 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. 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 eightpercent increase.

The proposed budget will raise more revenue from property taxes than last year’s budget by an amount of $136,557, which is a 3.21 percent increase from last year’s budget. The property tax revenue to be raised from new property added to the tax roll this year is $54,641. Total debt obligation for the city of Azle secured by property taxes is $6,910,000.

At the federal level, the report named Azle Elementary and Cross Timbers Elementary “High Performing” schools for 2013-14 because of Title I designation and based reading and math scores. Additionally, at the federal level, Azle Elementary, Liberty Elementary and Cross Timbers Elementary each ranked in the top 25 percent of schools tested, earning “High Progress” status because of Title I designation. According to the Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction, Title I, Part A of the Elementary and Secondary Education Act (ESEA) provides financial assistance to states and school districts to meet the needs of educationally at-risk students. The goal of Title I is to provide extra instructional services and activities which support students identified as failing or most at risk of failing the state’s challenging performance standards in mathematics, reading, and writing.

stormwater fund) for FY 20142015 is $17,312,870. The combined total expenditures for the same funds are $17,905,617. That leaves expenses of $457,629 not covered by revenues – largely due to a final payment of $381,000 for a ladder truck ordered during FY 2013-14. However, a healthy fund balance means the city will absorb the difference, leaving a combined ending fund balance of $8,575,195.

That dam inconvenience earns TRWD national rehab honor by carla noah stutsman There’s little question a rehab project on the Eagle Mountain Spillway Dam from July 2012 through early 2013 caused some inconvenience for those who regularly drive Wells Burnett Road atop the dam. That small sacrifice is paying some big dividends, though – in technology, design standards, safety, and even an award. The Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) has been named the 2014 recipient of the Association of Dam Safety Of-

ficials (ASDSO) National Rehabilitation Project of the Year Award for that rehabilitation work. Because the roadway on top of the spillway dam is comprised of just two lanes with no shoulder, traffic was stopped in alternating directions during the course of the work performed. Road closures were mostly accomplished through the use of portable signal lights, although flagmen were used when necessary.

“This was a proactive effort to bring an aging dam up to current design standards,” said Louie Verreault, TRWD’s Dam and Levee Safety Engineer, who has collected data and records on the Eagle Mountain Dam since the early 1990s. “What we found is the 80-year-old dam is in excellent condition. The measures we implemented during this project provide reassurance that it will perform as expected for another 50 to 80 years,” he said. Working with engineers at

Parsons Brinkerhoff, TRWD gave the dam a complete check-up that included analyzing decades worth of data, collecting core samples and creating flooding models. In addition, the district added new instrumentation to help monitor conditions within the dam and completed a grouting program that reduced seepage. Verreault will receive the award on Sept. 23 during the ASDO’s Conference Award banquet in San Diego.

Cap’n Morgan retires from PCSO

Heavy Rain

Longtime Parker County Sheriff’s Office Captain Mike Morgan retired Friday, Aug. 15, after serving more than 35 years in law enforcement career. Morgan began his stint in 1979 with the Parker County Sheriff’s Office, earning his way through the ranks and retiring as captain of the PCSO Patrol Division and Weatherford-Parker County Special Operations Group. Sheriff Larry Fowler presented Morgan with a plaque and thanked him for his lengthy and honorable service. “We are extremely proud of his service,” Sheriff Fowler said of Morgan, “Although we hate to see him retire, we sincerely wish him all the best in Following Saturday’s heavy rain, runoff in the bar ditch on Lakeview and Park Drives his new endeavors. He leaves flowed into a tributary near the “S” curve. Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman us with a great legacy. Mike

was meticulous in how he conducted the daily operations of our divisions. We are grateful for his service.” Morgan’s retirement was celebrated Friday at the Parker County Justice Center, surrounded by current and past employees of the Sheriff’s Office. During his farewell speech, Morgan thanked a number of his colleagues, and especially Fowler, saying, “I appreciate what you’ve done for the department, the community and for me. The highlight of my

career has been finishing here.” Morgan ended his speech by quoting Mark Twain, “I have failed in my life, as much as I’ve succeeded, but I’ve tried hard at both.”

Good for you if you have a comfort zone

ou’ve seen them up on the church stages: Teary-eyed folks sincerely telling parishioners how going on a mission trip changed them, how they “grew” by getting out of their “comfort zone.” (The Bride frowns a lot when I suggest that would make a fun church drinking game [grape juice, of course] – whenever someone says “comfort zone.” [That generic phrase has replaced other classic church cliches like “hedge of protection” which supplanted “purpose-driven.”] ) We all have comfort zones, the good feeling you experience when you know your favorite restaurant is nearby, where the TV remote is handy, where you get the best cell phone reception.

But others have different comfort zones. The Bride and I went with some other folks to vacation in Belize. (Thank heavens for [other peoples’] timeshares.) Things did not start out great. The condo had seen better days. The water didn’t work sometimes. The seaweed infestation that has bedeviled the Texas coast is also terrorizing the numerous Belize islands, including ours at Ambergris Caye. It piles up all over and smells pretty bad. The maid almost never showed up and she not once brought new towels. Our bedroom was warmer than we’d like and there was no remote to the back TV. The pool was dead in the water. You had to walk all the way to the office to get WiFi, over 200 feet! No crashing waves reached the thin

crushed coral beaches; you could barely walk out into the water because the seabed was thick with protected sea grass that serves as nurseries for the array of ON YOUR vast the fishes and MARK critters out on reef – a Mark K. Campbell the half-mile away. There were loose dogs about and a toll bridge that cost $5 each time you ventured into town on the “main road,” all dirt. And, oh yeah, a guy died in the con-

do across from us. (We were worried when hazmat-adorned personnel spent two days in room 201. It ended up being a poor fellow who finally drank himself to death, locals told us.) Anyway, like with everyday life, you can choose to make your day good or bad. Because we could, we ventured to Maya ruins, zipped up wide rivers, boated to a nearby island, and snorkeled the incredible reef on a trip that ended with a literal swim with nurse sharks. (You know it’s “safe,” but when you get in that water with them, it’s still gut-check time.) After one day of boating and swimming and eating, I took my “sugar Coke” (down there, they’re still the Real Thing; I had 15) and sat on the balcony to watch Belizean life pass.

That’s when the local kids – 5 to 10 years old, likely – showed up. Ten or so had gathered across the way, on the brief patch between the dirt road and the Caribbean Sea to practice soccer. Their “field” was bumpy with clumps of grass and sandy stretches where the ball not once traveled smoothly. Like they cared. They were having a blast; an example of pure joy was unfolding before me in the late afternoon light. They didn’t care about TV remotes or WiFi or seaweed. They were in their comfort zones. And, as I sipped my Coke, the bottle sweating in the tropical humidity, it made me think about mine for a while. Mark K.

Letter to the Editor Border ‘invaders’ are setting off U.S. ‘pity party’ Editor: As a result of the federal government's long standing complicity in aiding and abetting illegals, the laws that were created for defending America are useless. Illegals receive every imaginable

tax-funded benefit, and more, while drowning America in lawsuits. Since Congress is on recess Obama will now use his poison pen to further render America legally defenseless against these people. Americans should take note of how Russia is using the large number of Russian loyalists in the Ukraine to try and bring that nation back under Russia's control. Mexico is slowly doing the same thing to America. Will this worsening and increasing-

ly confrontational situation devolve into something worse? I think it eventually will because of political liberals. Consider the fact that relatively few of the latest invaders were actually very young and yet it was enough to set off a nationwide tax-funded pity party and provided an excuse for manipulative pro-immigration propagandists to accuse critics of being inhumane.

While revolution raged, Capt. Cook discovered Hawaii

ast week's column told what was happening elsewhere while the American Revolution raged on the east coast in 1776 and after. Osage Indians were killing buffalo to get suet for tallow to sell to Cuba. Another event, not noticed at the time, was the discovery of Hawaii. A British ship, the Resolution, left England on July 12, 1776, to sail around the southern tip of Africa to New Zealand and then go northward in the Pacific to explore the northwest coast of North America. Her captain, James Cook, had instructions to find a “northwest passage” that would connect the Atlantic with the Pacific Ocean. Folks had been looking, unsuccessfully, for many years. Captain Cook's expedition consisted of another ship too, the Discovery. On January 18, 1778 Cook's men sighted an island rising 4,000 feet above the ocean. It was the present Oahu of the Hawaiian Islands. Its natives had been living in isolation from the rest of the world for centuries. With Captain Cook's arrival,

THE

they would become aware of what they were missing. One can call it the discovery of America's most western state. (Some of the islands stretch farther west than Alaska.) Captain Cook wrote that some of the natives who boarded the ship showed their amazement at the trappings of civilization. Cook, of course, was sailing for the British. Before an examination of the impact of Cook's discovery, let's look at his own life. Readers may remember my columns about the influence of the Scot people on history. Cook's father was a Scot who came to England and married an English woman. Their son James, one of eight children, was apprenticed at age sixteen to a grocer and haberdasher in a fishing village, which probably is where Cook learned his love of the sea. Within a year or so he became apprenticed on a merchant navy ship and studied navigation, astronomy and math. He joined the British navy when war with France approached in 1755. During the Seven Years' War (called French and Indian War in the colonies), Cook mapped the entrance to

the St. Lawrence River and the coast of Newfoundland. His maps provided the first accurate ones of those places and brought him to the attention of the naval officials. His map of PAGES FROM Newfoundland WESTERN was used well into the 20th HISTORY century. He once wrote that J’Nell L. Pate he wanted to go not just “farther than any man has been before me, but as far as I think it is possible for a man to go.” In 1766 he mapped the complete coastline of New Zealand, and in 1770 his expedition was the first European one to reach the eastern coast of Australia. They landed at an area he called Botany Bay because botanists on board found unique specimens. He circumnavigated the globe that trip.

On his second voyage to the Pacific Cook explored the Antarctic and traveled again to New Zealand. Although the Royal Navy retired Cook, he planned a third voyage, hoping to find the northwest passage, and gained support. On this trip he encountered the Hawaiian Islands, which he named the “Sandwich Islands” after the fourth Earl of Sandwich who at the time was the acting First Lord of the Admiralty. From Hawaii he kept going north and landed on the Oregon coast and then later entered Nootka Sound on Vancouver Island. He mapped the coast all the way to the Bering Strait. There is a Cook Inlet in Alaska. He charted most of the northwest coastline of what is now North America on world maps for the first time. In 1779 Cook returned to Hawaii and landed on the largest island, Hawaii. They stayed a while to repair the two ships. Perhaps Cook and his men overstayed their welcome, because quarrels occurred between his men and the natives. The latter stole a small boat, so Cook tried to take the king hostage. A large crowd formed. Villagers

hit him on the head with a club and stabbed him to death. They prepared his body for burial, but gave some of the remains to the crew for burial at sea. Cook was only fifty, so consider what else he may have accomplished had he lived. His crew reached England in 1780. Let's examine what happened to Hawaii. At the time of Cook's discovery, anthropologists have estimated that 275,000 inhabitants lived in all the islands. As a result of encountering Cook's sailors and those of subsequent ships, the natives acquired the European diseases of influenza, tuberculosis, typhoid, measles, whooping cough, dysentery and, yes, venereal diseases. Because of this, after 50 years the native population dropped – by half – to 140,000. A century after Cook's first visit, the native population in the 1880s was only 54,000. By the 20th century, tourism, investments in the island, and trade boomed – Dole pineapple!

Letters to the Editor Gov. Perry’s veto was within his authority Fair and impartial application of laws is the basis of our society. Each elected official is responsible to enforce and follow the law. The Travis County District Attorney broke the law and engaged in “deplorable” behavior that resulted in a harsh first offense penalty for DUI. The Public Integrity Unit should not be headed by someone that not only plead guilty of DUI with a .239 blood alcohol level, but was so aggressive that she was restrained with handcuffs and leg irons. Our governor was within his authority and right on the issue when he vetoed funding for her unit. This is not the first time that a Travis County DA has used criminal charges against political opponents, but it needs to be the last. The charges against Governor Perry need to be dropped, and the Travis County DA’s office needs a change of leadership. Zan Prince Weatherford

have to be living under a rock in not knowing that Rice was arrested for cold cocking his wife in front of security video in a hotel elevator then dragging her out and dumping her on the floor. Perhaps this is the authoritative dictum now with sports fans in the athletes they adore: It’s cool to give your sweetie a good haymaker to the side of the head as long as you make a touchdown. Conversely, the good ol’ boy Bubba and gals in Texas who hold deification status to the beloved Cowboys are just as Neanderthal, knuckle-dragging thinkers and would parlay Rice into a choirboy: Dez Bryant (assault of his mother); Ron Springs (aggravated assault on a female Dallas police officer); Michael Irvin (twice felony convicted for drugs). I could write many more. What an oxymoron in something called the “Ring of Honor” at Jerry’s World for these criminals you fans support. Here is a novel idea for all you Cowboys grovelers: Instead of lauding these groups of thugs who wear a star on their helmets, why not put some of that enthusiasm into the real stars, the fine men and women who wear the star on their left breast pocket?

I went shopping at Walmart Aug. 15. I put my bags in my van and drove home. I realized after unloading groceries that I had left my purse in the cart. The cart rack was full, but I crowded my cart in it, leaving it actually sticking out of the rails. I immediately drove back to Walmart and the carts were gone. I was thinking about the cash, license, credit cards and all that I had lost. I went in Walmart and the workers were so helpful and took me to customer

service. The young man asked me to describe my purse and went in the back and came out with it. I was so thankful and praised God for Walmart hiring wonderful, honest people. I came home, called Walmart and asked who turned my purse in. It was a cart handler named Allen. I fixed a thank you card and placed money in it and went back to Walmart and began asking for Allen and the manager. After talking to his supervisor and manager, I was told he was Allen H., no last names are given out, and Walmart employees are not able to accept money – he would lose his job if he did. They said they could put the card on a bulletin board, but if I wanted to do something for him, to call the cooperate office and tell them. They seldom get good news and compliments. So I held for over five minutes on the phone and Walmart was very happy to hear my story. Allen H. makes me proud to live in Azle. Thank God Walmart hired honest people.

Grand jury indicts governor on 2 counts

Travis County grand jury on Aug. 15 indicted Gov. Rick Perry on two felony counts: abuse of official capacity and coercion of a public servant. Count I alleges Perry, on or about June 14, 2013, intended to harm Rosemary Lehmberg, Travis County district attorney and chief of the state’s Public Integrity Unit, by intentionally or knowingly misusing public property in withholding funding approved by the Texas Legislature for the operation of the Public Integrity Unit. Count II alleges Perry by means of coercion and in his official capacity as a public servant threatened to veto legislation funding the Public Integrity Unit unless Lehmberg resigned as district attorney. Lehmberg was arrested for drunken driving in April 2013. She served a short jail sentence, publicly apologized, underwent Delores Bookout counseling and returned to her Azle elected post as district attorney and chief of the Public Integrity Unit, a division of the district attorney’s office that investigates and prosecutes criminal activity involving state government and state government officials.

Panel votes for censure The House Select Committee on Transparency in State Agency Operations on Aug. 11 met and voted 6-1 to admonish and censure University of Texas System Board of Regents member Wallace L. Hall Jr. of Dallas “for misconduct, incompetency in the performance of official duties, or behavior unbefitting a nominee for and holder of a state office.” State Rep. Charles Perry, R-Lubbock, voted against the action. Hall, who was appointed as a regent by Gov. Perry in 2011, reportedly has been conducting an independent investigation of UT’s fundraising and other activities. Allegations against Hall are detailed in a motion 28 pages in length. The motion also directs two of members of the committee, state Reps. Lyle Larson, R-San Antonio, and Trey MartinezFischer, D-San Antonio, to monitor the Board of Regents of The University of Texas System, The University of Texas System and The University of Texas System component institutions.

Combs on Aug. 12 announced Wall Street’s three biggest credit rating agencies have given their highest ratings to Texas’ 2014 Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes. These annual, one-year notes, Combs explained, are sold to help fund school payments and manage cash flow between the start of the fiscal year and the arrival of tax revenue later in the year. Combs said the ratings reflect confidence in Texas and its economic growth. The state’s sale of $5.4 billion in Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes will be conducted Aug. 26 with repayment scheduled Aug. 31, 2015, she added.

Volleyball season already off and running by mark k. campbell The 2014 high school volleyball season began for Azle (6-4) against the No. 1 4A team in the state. The 5A Lady Hornets started this year’s journey at Decatur where the defending state champion Lady Eagles awaited along with Joshua. AHS lost to the hosts 15-25,

19-25, 10-25. Azle coach Jennifer Robinson noted, “Decatur was tough; they returned all of their starters. They are good.” The Lady Hornets claimed the first win of the season with a 25-16, 25-20 win over Joshua at the DHS gym Aug. 12. The first tournament of the season sent AHS to nearby Sag-

inaw for three days filled with plenty of matches. On Thursday, Aug. 14, the Lady Hornets played three times in pool action. Azle defeated Fort Worth Carter-Riverside 25-14, 24-13 then bounced Gainesville 2511, 25-9. In the final pool clash, Fort Worth All Saints edged AHS

30-29 in the opening game and won the second one 25-11. Day two of pool play saw Azle again go 2-1, losing to 5-5A mate Boswell 12-25, 1925 before toppling Saginaw Chisholm Trail 25-22, 23-25, 25-18 and Burleson Centennial 25-23, 21-25, 25-22. The 4-2 record catapulted the Lady Hornets into the top

bracket, the Gold division. On Saturday, Aug. 16, Azle defeated Stephenville 25-23, 25-18. AHS’ trip to Saginaw ended when All Saints again took down Azle, this time 25-21, 1425, 12-25. When the dust settled, Azle had finished third. Lady Hornet Brooke Smith

was named to the All-Tournament Team. NEXT UP – Azle is off to Graham Aug. 22 for the second of three tournaments of 2014. Then the road warriors – AHS had not played at home this year and won’t until Sept. 9 against Grandview – venture to Kennedale Tuesday, Aug. 26.

Football Two-a-Days in Full Swing

The annual Texas rite-of-passage for thousands of teenage athletes – two-a-day football practices – is underway on the Azle High School campus. Head coach Devon Dorris (left) said, “Practices have been fairly crisp and sharp for this time of year. Our kids showed up knowing our practice expectations and have been giving great effort.” Dorris said his troops are ready to face an opponent “other than ourselves” and that happens Friday morning, Aug. 22 against Burleson. The freshman and JV teams face their Elk counterparts at 8:30 a.m. with the varsities squaring off at 10. Before that, on Thursday, Aug. 21 at 6:30 p.m., a Meet the Hornet Night is slated for the main AHS gym to gear up for the 2014 seasons. Photos by Mark K. Campbell

Movie Man

Wednesday, August 20, 2014

Old Expendables soon to become Dependables? Well, you can’t blame a guy for trying. Sylvester Stallone has been churning out movies as he approaches the latter stage of his life. And a slew of them just haven’t been embraced. About the film With a couple of exceptions, Stallone has had an astonishing stretch of snubbed movies. That duo of accepted films – Rocky Balboa (2006, Movie Man No. 698, 6) and The Expendables (2010, MM #892, 6). But the series of misfires is near-amazing. His last bona fide hit was Cliffhanger in 1993. Since then, it’s been 20 years of almost constant hohummery from the public. Excluding animated voicings and small parts in other (bad) movies, here’s his filmography the last two decades: The Specialist (1994, an anticipated teaming with Sharon Stone that flopped, $57.4 million) Judge Dredd (1995, $34.7 million, and don’t get the fanboys going on how much they hate this movie) Assassins (1995, $30.3 million) Daylight (1996, $32.9 million) Cop Land (1997, $44.9 million, his last good reviews) Get Carter (2000, $15 million, a major misfire at the time) Driven (2001, MM #402, 4, $32.6 million) Eye See You (2002, a $55 million movie that was barely released, originally called D-Tox, made $79.1 thousand – yes, thousand) Avenging Angelo (2002, went straight to video) Rambo (2008, MM #756, 5, $42.8 million) The Expendables 2 (2012, MM #996, 5, $85 million on a $92 million budget) Bullet to the Head (2012, $9.5 million) Escape Plan (2013, MM #1058, 7, $25.1 million)

Grudge Match (2013, $29.8 million). A couple of things: While the amount of money a movie makes doesn’t mean it’s good or bad, Stallone has a recent history of not coming close to making back budgets domestically – not even halfway. Also, action movies do much better overseas often, so it’s not like he’s a colossal failure. Despite all this, the Movie Man remains a Stallone fan. He will never forget one of the greatest movie evenings ever when he went to a sneak preview (back when sneak previews were great mysteries), seeing Rocky (again) and the sneak, Annie Hall in 1977. You had to be there to appreciate the explosion Stallone made on the scene with that first boxing movie. He was nominated for two Oscars – Best Actor and Best Screenplay (for Rocky) joining only Orson Welles and Charlie Chaplin in pulling that same-year double. So if he’s still punching late in life, he deserves some slack. The film (spoilers) Barney (Stallone) still has a few of his Expendable team members around and they bust out a former Ex, Doc (Wesley Snipes), from a moving train. On another mission, the group gets a member seriously hurt, shot by Stonebanks (Mel Gibson), another ex-Expendable who turned evil; Stallone thought Gibson was dead, but he ain’t. The CIA shows up in the person of Drummer (Harrison Ford). The agency has a 36hour window when they know where Gibson will be and Ford charges Stallone and his team to capture Gibson alive. Stallone, worried that his mates are getting a little long in the tooth and need to get out of the mercenary business, cuts them free and recruits a new batch of young ‘uns found by old pal Bonaparte (Kelsey

Movie Man Grammer) across the globe. The new crew gets Gibson, but the wily fellow escapes with all of Stallone’s recruits hostage. So, the old Ex gang reunites to aid Stallone in fetching his newbies and taking care of Gibson. What works (spoiler) As actors, Gibson, Ford, Grammer, and, yes, Stallone blow the others out of the water. Gibson, of course, has that wild-eyed, manic, motormouth, crazy guy routine down pat and it’s effective here. There’s a nice scene where Stallone is laying out his plan to storm the building Gibson has entered. But the newbies are high-tech savvy and create a scheme that requires not nearly as much mayhem – and it works to a T. It’s hard to dis any movie that manages to work in Neil Young’s “Old Man.” It’s obvious and corny – and classic Stallone – when the young bucks serenade the veterans, but it works. Best scene Director Patrick Hughes often frames the old-timers in super close-ups. There’s a long take of the camera just staying on Stallone that details the toll of all those years of action movies (and Botox). Ford and Gibson get screen-filling shots,

too. They are mesmerizing. What doesn’t work Every young actor is completely forgettable. And the acting by the lone female, Ronda Rousey, has to be seen to be believed; she’s horrible. The Expendables 3 is jampacked with rapid-fire editing that makes keeping up with what’s going on pretty tough – especially in the endless concluding battle. There might be plenty of Old School, macho-man bon mots in the movie, but so many actors mumble – something Ford’s character calls out Jason Statham for in the movie but all are guilty – that they can’t be

discerned. The movie goes on and on and on. It’s a laborious 2 hours, 6 minutes and seems even longer. After the 10,000th explosion, interest fades. The rating There’s the violence and some blood, of course. Factor in an f-bomb or two (that mumbling again) with classic vulgarities and you have a hard PG-13.

Summing up Next up The Expendables 3 tanked at Sin City: A Dame to Kill For the box office, finishing fourth which had a cool trailer before with a meager $16.2 million, Expendables 3. behind two movies already in theaters. A fourth in the series has been “announced” but that remains to be seen. If 3 takes off overseas, another could arrive. Summer review The Movie Man made his Big Summer Predictions back in late April, daring to try to nail down what the top 10 movies of the summer would be. His guesses: 10. A Million Ways to Die in the West; 9. Guardians of the Galaxy; 8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles; 7. Maleficent; 6. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes; 5. Godzilla; 4. Amazing Spider-Man 2; 3.
