By CHRIS AGEE Azle police continue investigating an Aug. 17 crash that left a pedestrian dead. APD hopes someone in the community can help them identify the driver responsible. The incident happened around 2:30 a.m. in the 1200 block of State Highway 199 and officers arrived to find Donald Buerger Jr. in the westbound lane of travel. A witness told authorities a white male struck Buerger before driving away from the scene. During the subsequent investigation, police have received additional leads regarding the driver and vehicle and are soliciting further tips from the community. Investigators are looking for a light-colored Ford truck with possible damage to its right front headlamp assembly. Anyone with additional information can contact Det. Sgt. K.D. Rogers by calling (817) 444-3221 or sending an email to krogers@ci.azle.tx.us.

Azle ISD offering bond info online By MARK K. CAMPBELL If you’re curious about exactly what the upcoming school bond election is for, the Azle ISD web site has a trio of documents that goes in-depth on the items. At www.azleisd.net, the top tab under “News” on the home page is “2013 Azle Bond Election Information.” From there, surfers will discover a quick summary, a video, and two places to download details about the Nov. 5 election. The called bond is for $20 million and covers three areas: · a career and technology center · a performance/competition gymnasium · a fire suppression system in AHS Based on the average cost of a home in Azle – $135,166 – the cost for requested improvements is $2.11 monthly. Taxpayers 65 and over who have received an Over 65 Homestead Exemption would pay no new school taxes. Even with the increase, Azle ISD would remain the lowest taxed school district in the area. On the web site, a bond presentation – given by superintendent Dr. Ray Lea – is a reproduction of the information he has delivered to others. Also available for download is a bond brochure that details much of the same information. The Career and Tech Center is projected to cost PLEASE SEE AZLE PAGE 2A.

Announcement comes: Going up! With a few exceptions, most area cities see healthy rise in sales tax revenues Texas Comptroller Susan Combs announced early in August that state sales tax revenue in July was $2.2 billion, up 7.3 percent compared to July 2012. “Texas sales tax revenue has increased for 40 consecutive months,” Combs said. “The retail trade sector bolstered the latest growth in monthly revenue, and collections from the construction and the oil and natural gas sectors continued to show strength.” Combs will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts their August local sales tax allocations totaling $671 million, up 6.2 percent compared to August 2012. The sales tax figures represent monthly sales made in June as well as April, May and June sales by businesses that report tax quarterly.

$1,429,488 are up 2.73 percent from the same time period in 2012, when collections totaled $1,391,432. Similarly, Azle’s Crime Control and Prevention District collected $36,968 for August, up 6.73 percent from $34,637 in August 2012. The district is up 3.83 percent in its year-to-date collections compared with 2012, with $266,230 in the coffers through August. It had collected $256,387 during the fist eight months of 2012. Springtown collected 5.61 percent more than its August 2012 allocation of $75,911, bringing in $80,177 this August. Total collections for the year so far are at $599,259 – up 1.16 percent from $592,259 as of August 2012. PLEASE SEE MOST, PAGE 2A.

Azle PD bids farewell to Blaisdell Fellow officers, city staff, and friends joined at city hall recently to mark the retirement of Azle Police Lt. Lee Blaisdell. A 28-year veteran of law enforcement, Blaisdell spent 23 of those years with the Azle Police Department. “I’ll always consider the city of Azle my home,” he said. “I’ve made a lot of friendships and bonds...in the community.” Nominated by Azle Police Chief Randy Reed, Blaisdell received a 2012 Law Enforcement Achievement Award in June from the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement Officer Standards and Education. The 46-year-old officer is planning to transition into a new position as an investigator for the Tarrant County District Attorney’s office.

Most Parker County cities saw healthy increases for August, with the exception being Reno. That city’s 2.19 percent decrease for August, from $6,946 in August 2012 to $6,794, didn’t impact its year-to-date percentage negatively, though. For the first eight months of 2013, Reno has collected $54,704, 8.05 percent more than its collections of $50,626 for the same time period in 2012. The city of Azle has seen steady, if small, increases around 2 percent almost every month for the past couple of years. In August, however, the city’s sales tax allocation of $206,515 was 6.90 percent higher than the $193,176 it collected a year ago. Year-to-date totals through August are

In Sanctuary, a 12.09 percent increase to $1,360 from $12,13 in August 2012 did little to improve the tiny town’s year-to-date percentage. Collections so far in 2013 total $9,082, which is 3.12 percent less that the $9,375 it had collected through August 2012. Parker County saw an extreme jump of almost 60 percent in its August revenues compared with August 2012. In August 2012, the county collected $557,478, but this month’s check is for $889,583. Year-to-date collections of $4,712,225 are up 3.54 percent higher than 2012 totals for the same time period of $4,550,712. On the Tarrant County side, Lakeside saw an 8.91 percent increase in August from $6,954 in August 2012 to $7,574. However, it remains down 7.32 percent for the year-to-date, with $50,991 collected so far this year. That’s compared with $55,020 for the first eight months of 2012. In Pelican Bay, an August check for $1,626 is 2.84 percent less than its August 2012 check for $1,674. The city by the bay has collected $12,642 so far this year. Compared with the first eight months of 2012, when it collected $15,378, the city is down 17.79 percent year-to-date. Many Tarrant County cities saw increases in August, as well, but notably, the city of Grapevine saw a 15.62 percent decrease in its August revenues compared with August 2012. Even so, the city remains in the fourth slot in Tarrant County’s top five sales tax revenue-

Most women carry a lot of baggage – literally

ecause I have now served decades living amid a bevy of females, I know some things. Like: don’t dry bras. And: Females are not “large” or “big-boned.” They are “curvaceous.” Also: Don’t waste time offering your opinion that your bride looks good in orange – even if it’s the hot color of the season – because it does not fall into her “fashion skin color palette.” Now, I don’t remember a lot from college, even though I attended for 14 years. But in Advertising I learned: “Men dress for women and women dress for women.” It’s way more important that a woman’s girlfriends be impressed with her chevron-infested

The bride keeps her

car keys on the outside of the bag because they could be lost forever inside the monstrosity she carries. (I believe our 1981 VW Rabbit keys are in there somewhere.) I have no idea what’s in the bride’s purse. A pineapple? Folding chair? A kite, flying? The new Cowboys’ bag regulations had zero affect on men, of course. All a guy needs to go to a Dallas game is a debit card and a car key/fob. Women need their purses. It’s some kind of evolutionary thing. It’s not in every biblical translation, but Eve initially covered her naked self with a purse made of fig leaves then got inside the titanic bag with Adam: GOD: Why are you hiding?

EVE: Well, we’re naked. GOD: Did you eat from that Tree I warned you about? EVE: Uh, do you like my purse? GOD: I guess... EVE: It cost $900 shekels. GOD: For one purse?! Makeup is a major component of purses. That’s not exactly something they give away, either. Gunk called moisturizer can cost over $100. It comes complete with sunscreen and some one-of-a-kind of “anti-aging” creme. I bet Jerry Jones collects makeup and resales it to keep the stadium going. Mark K.

Letter to the Editor Same sex marriages coming to Texas? Dear Editor: With another state, New Mexico, allowing same sex marriages, how long will it be until the Lone Star State falls into this turpitude? We have men in black robes intent on legislating personal agendas from the bench rather than the duties they swore to defend – the Constitution! And the impetus grew from a man that no one ever heard of – and still don’t – President Obama. He has further polarized an already

divided nation with his ideological social programs that use our sons and daughters in uniform as his own Petri dish. If the purveyors of immoral decadence can vitiate the virtues of the greatest country in the world, what lasting legacy will be bequeathed and written about us who live in this century? History sometimes repeats itself with world leaders; is there a parallel between President Obama and Caligula, Emperor of Rome, 37-41 AD, and post downfall. (Google it – you will be amazed at the similarities.) Joseph Bryan Fort Worth

Great explorer La Salle, Frenchman of Texas history fame, lost a ship in Michigan too

o readers remember when a French ship belonging to the La Salle expedition, La Belle, was found in 1995 off the coast of

Texas? Artifacts from it may now be seen in the Bob Bullock Texas State History Museum in Austin. Recently I learned that archeologists were searching this summer for a ship of La Salle's that they think may have sunk in the northern part of Lake Michigan. Other than acknowledging that Frenchman ReneRobert Cavelier, Sieur de La Salle must really have gotten around, one might wonder the facts of his travels. La Salle, of course, with his visit supplied the French flag that allows Texans to brag that six various flags have flown over Texas. Perhaps Michigan can claim his flag in their past as well. Let me trace his travels briefly. A colonist in the French territory in Canada, La Salle dealt in the fur trade in

THE

the area. The French attempted a fur trade monopoly with the native tribes. La Salle used his fur profits to build a ship, Le Griffon, in the spring of 1679 and sent men in canoes to trade. Once the ship was finished, at 45 tons it may very well have been the largest ship on any of the Great Lakes (Huron, Ontario, Michigan, Erie, Superior) at the time. It was the first such vessel on them to have a name. Built on the Niagara River near Cayuga Island, the ship frightened Seneca natives who threatened to burn it. To avoid that risk, La Salle had his workers launch it earlier than planned. A group of Iroquois were so impressed with it, they called it a "large floating fort." The sailors fired cannons from off shore to awe the natives as well. In July 1679 La Salle directed his men to move Le Griffon and he set off on an expedition to secure furs. They traveled in waters only canoes had traversed before. They sailed across Lake Erie and reached the mouth of

the Detroit River on August 10. Then they moved on across rapids to Lake Huron. There they ran into a storm but arrived safely at Mackinac Island where they found a few FrenchPAGES FROM men with HuWESTERN rons and Ottawas. La Salle HISTORY dressed in a J’Nell L. Pate scarlet cloak and had a ceremonial meeting with the chiefs. La Salle departed for Green Bay on September 12 which was at the entrance to Lake Michigan. He had his men load furs on Le Griffon and sent it back on a return trip to the east while he remained behind. He never saw the ship again. All sorts of rumors spread Publisher/Advertising director Kim Ware

that the Indians boarded her, murdered the crew and burned the ship. La Salle believed that the pilot and crew confiscated the $10,000 in furs, sank the ship and sold the furs themselves. No one knows what really happened; it could have been in a storm. It is this ship that modern archeologists today were seeking. In 2001 sonar showed an object about the size of the ship under several feet of sediment in Lake Michigan. Much legal action occurred over who could dig. The Michigan Department of Natural Resources finally issued a permit. Several attempts have been made, the most recent on June 16, 2013 when crews dug an underwater pit and only found a 15-inch slab of blackened wood. A 19-foot piece of wood was found as well, but it was not attached to what was buried. They were searching near Poverty Island, a few miles off shore from Michigan's Upper Peninsula. The archeologists anglicized the name of the ship to The Griffin. They plan to try again to find it. Editor Mark K. Campbell

Of course, it was after his trip on The Griffin and its demise that La Salle, with a charge from the king of France, Louis XIV, made his way down the Mississippi in 1682 to it mouth and claimed all the land it drained for France (thus Louisiana). He traveled back up to Canada, went to France, and received a commission from the king to establish a colony at the mouth of the Mississippi. Texans should know the story well. He missed the Mississippi and landed in Texas in 1685. Of four ships that left France, one was lost at sea; the Spanish destroyed one, and La Belle was wrecked and sunk in a winter storm in 1686. While La Salle was out exploring, disgruntled colonists took the final ship and went back to France. With the few left, La Salle intended to make his way up the Mississippi to Canada, but angry men killed him. 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.

AG Holder files suit against Texas voter ID law

he U.S. Department of Justice on Aug. 22 announced it would file a lawsuit against the State of Texas over the state's voter photo identification law, passed as Senate Bill 14 in 2011. In filing the lawsuit, the federal agency said it seeks a declaration that SB 14 violates Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act (non-discrimination requirement) and the voting guarantees of the Fourteenth (due process and equal protection) and Fifteenth (right to vote) amendments to the United States Constitution. According to a news release by U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, head of the Department of Justice, "The United States' complaint contends that SB 14 was adopted with the purpose, and will have the result, of denying or abridging the right to vote on account of race, color or membership in a language minority group."

Gov. Rick Perry and Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott reacted with releases of their own. Perry said, "The filing of endless litigation in an effort to obstruct the will of the people of Texas is what we have come to expect from Attorney General Eric Holder and President Obama. We will continue to defend the integrity of our elections against this administration's blatant disregard for the 10th Amendment." Abbott, on behalf of the state government, has filed 25 lawsuits against the Obama administration over a variety of issues such as voter ID, redistricting, environmental protection and the Affordable Care Act which some refer to as Obama Care. Within a much longer statement, Abbott said, "Voter IDs have nothing to do with race and they are free to anyone who needs one."

Election Day for the nine proposed constitutional amendments approved by legislators last spring. Texans STATE who go to CAPITAL polls with HIGHLIGHTS p r o p e r identiEd Sterling f i c a t i o n in accordance with the state's voter identification law will be able to vote "yes" or "no" on amendments dealing with topics ranging from property tax exemptions and municipal charters to funding for the state water plan and judicial conduct.

Texas economy added 19,900 seasonally adjusted total nonfarm jobs in July for a total of 293,000 jobs added since July 2012. Also, Texas' seasonally adjusted unemployment rate held steady in July at 6.5 percent. Texas' unemployment rate remained below the nation's July unemployment rate of 7.4 percent. "As of July," said Texas Workforce Commission Chairman Andres Alcantar, "Texas has maintained a positive annual growth rate for 39 straight months."

Testing scores improve Education Commissioner Michael Williams on Aug. 21 announced that 2013 composite score for all Texas students taking the ACT college admission test hit a new high of 20.9 according to the testing company. In addition, the composite scores for Texas White, HispanJob count grows in July Perry sets voting date Texas Workforce Commis- ic/Latino and African-AmerGov. Perry took the official step of proclaiming Nov. 5 as sion on Aug. 16 reported the ican students are at all-time

highs, matching or exceeding national composite scores in each of those student groups. "Our state's ongoing commitment to rigor in the classroom is clearly evident in these national results," said Commissioner Williams. "In the coming years, the challenge will be in maintaining this momentum which has provided a strong foundation of success for all students, while also offering all students greater flexibility to make course choices." Measles alert is issued Texas Department of State Health Services on Aug. 16 issued a health alert and announced six cases of measles had been confirmed in the last month, bringing the total to 11 cases confirmed for the year. State health officials have asked health care providers to be on the lookout for potential exposures, particularly in the North Texas area. While no measles cases were reported in 2012, six cases were

reported in 2011, the agency reported, and said, "vaccination even shortly before or after exposure may prevent the disease or lessen the symptoms." DPS to increase patrols Texas Department of Public Safety last week announced a planned increase in patrols through Sept. 9, including the Labor Day holiday weekend. DPS troopers will focus on high-risk locations at times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent. During the extended Labor Day law enforcement period last year, troopers made 1,879 DWI arrests, 24,779 speeding citations, 3,890 seat belt/child safety seat citations, 4,062 noinsurance tickets, 1,238 fugitive arrests, 895 felony arrests and 889 drug arrests during routine patrol operations. Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

Letter to the Editor Offer a solution to our problems Over the years, I have worked for many different managers and leaders. As in all things, some were good and some were not so good. However, there is one man I worked for who lead by example and encouraged us in ways we only realized much later in our careers. He was a retired U.S. Marine major with 20-plus years flying jets and leading large groups of Marines. The one thing that he brought to our organization was a very simple rule that became a way of life for us in the years that followed. At his first staff meeting he let us know that he expected each of us to present our reports in a concise, organized, and articulate format at the weekly staff meetings. We were to report on all milestones for our projects and any problems

that we anticipating in the coming weeks. The only caveat was that when we reported on a problem we were required to provide a specific plan of action to address the problem. It was his opinion that if you took the time to understand the problem and formulate an answer, then it was obvious that there was a real problem and that the group’s time was being well spent listening to the problem. That idea changed the way we did business for years. It would be my suggestion that the Azle News could do the readers a service by instituting a similar rule for the editorial section. We all know from listening to radio and television, reading the news, and hearing our friends repeat it back to us, that we have way more problems than any of us can address. What would happen if the opinion columns ended with a legitimate suggestion for a spe-

cific way to address whatever problem was being presented? Would requiring a proposed solution provide us with a way to start fixing the issues we are seeing so we could improve things for ourselves and our children? I believe that instead of reiterating problems we are all familiar with, we would be better served to state the problem and then spend our time and energy correcting the situation. At the end of the day we would all be both better off and a lot happier with our world. We can assume ownership of the problem and work on it, not wait for someone else to fix it. “And so, my fellow Americans: ask not what your country can do for you — ask what you can do for your country.” President John F. Kennedy, January 20, 1961

Azle football season begins in Burleson Friday AHS’ 1st two games on the road by mark k. campbell Azle’s scrimmage against Mineral Wells was nothing to write home about – even though it took place at home – AHS coach Devon Dorris said. “I thought the scrimmage was just that, a scrimmage,” he said. “We did some good things and some not good things.” He added, “The intensity level will change this week in a game situation and we will see how our young team will respond under the pressure of a game.” The Hornets open the season on the road, against Burleson. In 2012, Azle started the Elks toward an 0-10 season with a 42-0 thrashing. Burleson is hanging its hat on a 6-2, 205-pound quarterback, Isaiah Hall. “The offense is centered around the quarterback,” Dorris said. “He will be a good test for our defense. He is a very good player running and throwing the ball.” The Elks have 18 total starters returning so it could be more challenging than in 2012. “Burleson is a much improved team from the one we faced last year,” Dorris said. Ten starters return on offense and eight on defense for the Elks. The following week, Azle faces another 8-4A team – the second of three – with Joshua then, back home, Cleburne. This year’s Hornet squad has great potential. The quarterback will be Jamie King who vied with fellow junior Trevor

The Azle defense pulls down a Ram at the Aug. 23 scrimmage. The Hornets play a pair of road games before coming back to the new field turf Photos by Mark K. Campbell to face Cleburne Sept. 13. Below, coaches watch and record every play in the scrimmage. Boiles for the starting job in the spring. Both will see constant offensive playtime. The defense is anchored by superior middle linebacker Johnny Crow.

Last year’s phenomenal kicking game – kicker Seth Campbell and punter Bret Harris – shared the Special Teams Player of the Year Award for AHS. This year, soccer standout

Dylan Tritton will kick and lineman Hayden Glennon will punt. Around the district, the season begins with Denton Guyer still the No. 1 pick to win the state championship.

Wichita Falls Rider is also highly thought of by preseason pundits; the Raiders are ranked in the Top 10. Dorris expects District 5-4A to be a constant battle just like last season.

No game is a gimme – even Denton has improved. It’s a classic case of playing them one game at a time, using non-district to get better before the games that really count arrive.

Lady Hornets Cross country season takes off visit Graham at annual Birdville TCC course for tournament The Azle volleyball team ventured to Graham for another pre-district tournament. Azle (6-7) shone early on in pool play. AHS defeated Graham 25-11, 25-15 then beat Fort Worth Eastern Hills in two games, 25-8, 25-9. Pool play ended with a tough split with Brownwood; Azle won 25-23 then lost its only pool game, 26-28. Entering bracket play, the Lady Hornets tangled with The Colony. The 9-4A squad topped Azle 19-25, 14-25 on day two of the tourney. Next, District 5-4A rival Wichita Falls took down AHS, 22-25, 19-25. In the tournament finale, the Lady Hornets beat the hosts again, 25-22, 25-16. A final tourney remains, at Argyle, the No. 2 team in 3A this season. After that, Azle comes home to the cozy AHS gym for three matches in a row, the final one the 5-4A opener. The Lady Hornets will host Fort Worth O.D. Wyatt Sept. 3 and Crowley Sept. 6. Then comes a week off to get ready for the first district clash, against Trophy Club Byron Nelson Sept. 13.

The 2013 cross country season begins without a familiar face. Longtime coach Don Ostermann has retired, So, Keith Boenisch, a veteran coach in his own right with years of cross country experience at the junior high level, takes over. He joins veteran Melody Dennis who directs the Lady Hornet squad. The coaching duo took their charges to the usual seasonopening meet, at the Tarrant County College Northeast campus in a relay sponsored by Birdville. In the boys varsity division, 38 teams competed. Boenisch ran three AHS teams; they placed eighth, 15th, and 25th The fastest AHS trio – each ran two miles – was Julian Hernandez, Christian McGill, and Tyler Stewart. They finished the six miles in 34 minutes, 18

Movie Man

Wednesday, August 28, 2013

At least You’re Next got the puncuation right Horror aficionados, like all other genre mavens, always have a tempting terror movie on the horizon. Last year for creature fans, it was Cabin in the Woods. This year, it’s You’re Next. About the film Like Cabin in the Woods (2012, Movie Man No. 978, an 8), You’re Next was lauded long before it ever came out. In fact, both were substantially delayed release-wise. You’re Next was made way back in 2011. It’s no Cabin in the Woods which pulled off the miracle of living up to the hype. Sadly, it did not do great business – and neither did You’re Next which performed well below expectations. With two R-rated scary movies scoring big financial numbers earlier this year – The Purge (MM #1038, 6) and the The Conjuring – projections for You’re Next were substantial. But it barely scratched, making just $7 million; it will be gone soon. With You’re Next exiting, one other anticipated movie looms, on Friday, Sept. 13 no less: Insidious: Chapter 2. (While the Movie Man is a fan of horror, he just got burned out on the explosion of paranormal movies and he’s skipped most of them, including last year’s Insidious.) Next up for fanboys is a remake of a classic. Carrie carries the troubling baggage of having been delayed from its original release date. It might actually do OK since Carrie is the only scary movie coming around Halloween (Oct. 18) which is very weird. And that’s it, fright fans. The next substantial release doesn’t come until next year. Then, two hit on the same date, right out of the 2014 box: The Amityville Horror: The Lost Tapes and Paranormal Activity 5 – both Jan. 3. The Movie Man has some

Best scene (spoiler) Much was made of You’re Next being a black comedy, but it doesn’t work until the very end. Crispin shows back up and begins a pitiful and funny groveling to his girlfriend who has just staved off certain death because of him. The Movie Man bumped the rating up a point just for this scene. It’s the prelude to the first of three shocks and the dude gets what he deserves.

Summing up Supposedly a mash-up of Old School horror and the home invasion craze (Funny Games, The Strangers, and, most recently, The Purge) jazzed with humor, You’re Next does not live up to the hype. (However, the Movie Man got his biggest chuckle before it started when he was directed What doesn’t work (spoiler) to “the last theater on the left” There likely will not be a to see it – a solo call-back to the worse acted movie this year. invasion classic Last House on the Left.) It’s just terrible. There are so many holes in the story that maybe that was supposed to be the black comedy part. The final whammy is set up fine – but there was zero reason for it.

Is your favorite place still serving second-hand smoke? When you’re exposed to tobacco smoke, it’s like you’re smoking yourself. No amount of second-hand smoke is safe. It contains more than 7,000 harmful chemicals, at least 250 of which are proven to damage your health. Even if you’ve never smoked, second-hand smoke can cause heart disease, lung cancer and more. And every day in North Texas, we’re all second-hand smoking at restaurants and other public places that still haven’t gone smoke-free. So join Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle in helping to make our community tobacco-free. Start by asking your favorite restaurants if they’ll go smoke-free. If not, maybe it’s time for some new hangouts.

When ESPN came to town Azle to be in MNF spotlight by mark k. campbell Former Azle football standout James Casey has already received plenty of exposure, now that he’s a professional football player. And he’s always remembered his Azle roots – even conducting a football camp in town a couple of years ago when he played for the Houston Texans. But now, the national spotlight will shine on him – and Azle – with the first game of Monday Night Football on Sept. 9. Casey’s new team, the Philadelphia Eagles, will face the Washington Redskins to kick off the MNF season. As part of a “package,” Casey’s remarkable story – from humble, tragic, and inspiring Azle beginnings to becoming “Thor” at Rice University to his NFL achievements and a $14 million contact – fans across America will learn about Azle, Texas.

He chose the latter but eventually left pro ball. Then an unlikely circumstance propelled him to a college football scholarship. Casey, working locally at a health club and exercising vigorously, made a videotape that he asked a friend to get to Rice football coaches. At the urging of Kiley, Casey removed his shirt to include with the pitch a look at his impressive physique – and that’s what caught the eyes of Owl coaches. In Houston, Casey became a collegiate star; nicknamed Thor, he played multiple positions and broke Rice records. Then he reached the pros with Houston before signing his multi-year, multi-million dollar contract with Philadelphia last March. While Casey’s story has been publicly broadcast in Houston, it has not gone nationwide, until now.

Casey’s tale The story will be produced by ESPN’s Jeff Ausiello. He and a pair of freelance cameramen from Austin arrived in Azle Aug. 20. The Connecticut producer had already spoken with Casey and wife Kiley in Philadelphia. Casey seldom speaks of the tragic incident that begins his story: His mother was killed in a house fire on Feb. 5, 2001when Casey was an AHS sophomore. In his following years here, many townsfolk rallied around him and the whip-smart Casey eventually reached the end of his Azle scholastic years with options of going to the college of his choice or playing baseball for the Chicago White Sox.

A trio interviewed Ausiello told three local men involved with Casey during his high school years that he wanted to speak with them – AISD trainer Todd “Doc” Urbanek, then head baseball coach/ now AISD athletic director Scott Anderson, and retired AHS counselor Derrell Helm. With the approval of the Caseys, Ausiello arrived in Azle to interview the threesome. Before that occurred, however, the ESPN trio shot video at the site where Casey’s mother died – property he has since purchased – Azleland cemetery where she is buried, inside Azle High, and the football and baseball fields on the AHS campus. Anderson said the visitors spent a

lot of time at many different places, “They probably filmed an hour of a field,” of the property Casey bought, Anderson said. They also shot on Main Street and at Eagle Mountain Lake. The group looked for the best place to conduct the interviews. Anderson said, “They spent 45 minutes setting up lights and they needed a place where there was no sound. The best place ended up being the JV locker room.” Urbanek, Helm, and Anderson all admitted to being nervous about being on camera. Anderson said he talked about Casey’s career in baseball and signing the contract where Anderson was instrumental helping Casey. Urbanek helped Casey during his Azle High years, often allowing him to stay with his family whenever and especially during a couple of substantial stretches, the AISD trainer recalled. “He really stayed with us for the longest while after his knee surgeries,” Ur- Todd Urbanek is interviewed by a visiting ESPN producer for a story about former Hornet, now Philadelphia Eagle, James Casey set to air Sept. 9 on banek said.

With me, they wanted to know about the family, when he lived with us.”

Ausiello – who was impressed by the friendliness and goodwill extended to him all over town, he said – was given loads of information, including “hundreds of pictures and game tapes, highlights,” Urbanek said. “It’ll be interesting to see the bits and pieces that they take.” We’ll all know on Sept. 9 when Monday Night Football begins at 6:10 p.m. That night America will learn a little about Azle, Texas.

2013 Property Tax Rates in PARKER COUNTY EMERGENCY SERVICE DISTRICT #1 This notice concerns 2013 property tax rates for the Parker County Emergency Service 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 $ 1,579,636 Last year’s debt taxes 0 Last year’s total taxes 1,579,636 Last year’s tax base 1,579,604,416 Last year’s total tax rate .100 This year’s effective tax rate: Last year’s adjusted taxes (after subtracting taxes on lost property $ 1,575,866 / This year’s adjusted tax base (after subtracting value of new property) 1,599,180,387 = This year’s effective tax rate .0985421 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) 1,575,866 / This year’s adjusted tax base 1,599,180,387 This year’s effective operating rate .0985421 X 1.08= this year’s maximum operating rate .1064255 + This year’s debt rate 0 = This year’s total rollback rate .1064255

THERE IS ONE CATCH: It has to be a photograph that we took!

So... 1) Note the date 2) Call or come by, and 3) Get a frame ready!
