Way cool! by carla noah stutsman Historically, weather has been a determining factor in crowd size for the Azle Area Chamber of Commerce’s Annual Sting Fling – its biggest fundraiser each year. Rains have plagued the event for the last several years, forcing it to close early. This year, the Chamber elected to move the event from the last Saturday in September to the second Saturday in hopes of avoiding the rain. It didn’t actually rain, but an unseasonable cold front brought a fine, chilly mist early that gave way to a cloudy, cool but pleasant afternoon. A generous crowd braved it all, to the delight of event planners and vendors. The Sting Fling 5K Color Run kicked off the day in clouds of Hor-

Open Male: 1st place: Julian Hernandez; 2nd place: Brad Madewell; 3rd place: Hadassah Marquart. Open Female: 1st place: Jamie Zacharias; 2nd place: Kate Webb; 3rd place: Rachel Price. Then, families lined both side of Main Street to watch the Sting Fling Parade, which featured the Azle High School’s Marching Green Pride, Colorguard, and Emerald Dazzlers, Azle’s Mayor, Alan Brundrett, and numerous
teams and groups from throughout the community. The Classic Car Show was also a big hit in its new location in front of Azle Elementary (the Rock School). Kids loved a bevy of attractions located in the children’s area – from face painting to a trackless train ride, and from the Amazon Zip Line to the petting zoo. As always, the Weiner Dog Derby was a big hit. A Dachshund named Brat (as in “bratwurst”) took the top prize. In the “Wannabe a Weiner” heat, the only two competitors drew a huge laugh when they ignored their owners’ directions, opting instead to sniff one another thoroughly and run off into the crowd – but not before one hiked a Runners at the Sting Fling 5K Color Run were doused occasionally leg near the starting line. with green or pink powder as they traversed Central Park.

Shorty: RIP Wife sentenced to 18 years for killing, burying man in yard by carla noah stutsman For more than three years, Neola Robinson slept just 10 feet from the shallow grave where she buried her husband, Pleasant Ervin “Shorty” Robinson after killing him over Memorial Day weekend in 2010. The 63-year-old Pelican Bay woman was sentenced to 18 years in prison for the murder Monday, Sept. 15, in state district Judge Robb Catalano’s court in Fort Worth. Just before jury selection was to begin in her murder trial on Monday, Neola Robinson reached an agreement with prosecutors, according to a press release from the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office. Robinson pleaded guilty to murder in the May 31, 2010, death of her husband, who was 57 at the time. In exchange for her guilty plea, prosecutors Joshua Ross and Tiffany Burks agreed to the 18-year prison term and to dismiss a separate charge of tampering with evidence. Robinson must serve half of her sentence before she is eligible for parole. Shorty was reported missing on July 16, 2010 by his employer at TJ Machine on West Main Street in Azle, after he had not shown up for work in two weeks. His wife never reported him miss-
ing, saying she believed Shorty had after his disappearance. Although the PBPD conducted an left with another woman. intense investigation, even executing a search warrant at Shorty’s home, they were unable to find the evidence needed to charge Neola Robinson with Shorty’s murder. The case eventually went cold. That is, until Texas Ranger Clair Barnes took over the investigation in the summer of 2013. Barnes was able to confirm the suspicions of many – as well as his own – when, in July 2013, Neola Robinson showed him where she had buried Shorty’s body, stuffed into an air mattress and buried just 15 inches deep in the front yard of the residence they shared. Neola Robinson told Ranger Barnes her husband was accidentally killed Neola Louise Robinson … sentenced to 18 years for when he was cut with a knife she was holding while they argued. murdering her husband But the Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office determined through Pelican Bay police questioned why an autopsy that Shorty died of stranShorty would have left the home in gulation. “The case of Shorty Robinson took the 1500 block of Partridge Court in Pelican Bay, which he owned outright, four years to reach the correct and just with no money, no personal belong- resolution,” said Ross. “Much may be ings, his vehicle, nor his motorcycle. said about the investigation and the They also discovered that Neola delay in locating his remains, but the Robinson was forging checks belong- important consideration is that after ing to her husband in order to pay bills PLEASE SEE PLEA, PAGE 3A.

This Week in Azle History
30 Years Ago
The Tarrant County Public Health Department (TCPH) has confirmed two new West Nile virus (WNV) positive mosquito samples in unincorporated Tarrant County. One of those samples was collected on East Court off Moran Road just north of Azle. The other was collected in the opposite corner of Tarrant County near Kennedale New Hope Road. Ground spraying took place in both areas between 9 p.m. Monday, Sept. 15 and concluded by 5 a.m. Tuesday, Sept. 16. TCPH said in a press release it had notified neighbors in the area over the past weekend of the positive mosquito as well as of the plan for ground spraying. About a week earlier, two additional positive mosquito samples were collected in the area near Benbrook Lake. Ground spraying was conducted in that area, as well.
TCPH has updated the WNV Interactive Map on the department’s Stop West Nile Virus web page. To date, 3,380 mosquito samples have been tested at TCPH’s North Texas Regional Laboratory since seasonal surveillance began April 1. A total of 181 samples have tested positive – Arlington (6), Bedford (30), Benbrook (1), Burleson (5), Colleyville (17), DFW Airport (4), Edgecliff (1), Euless (25), Fort Worth (14), Grapevine (13), Haltom City (1), Hurst (11), Keller (7), Kennedale (1), Mansfield (4), Pantego (1), North Richland Hills (15), Richland Hills (9), Southlake (8), Watauga (1), Unincorporated Tarrant County (7) Prevent WNV Tarrant County Public Health recommends taking personal protective measures to safeguard against West Nile Virus, and says the easiest and PLEASE SEE WEST, PAGE 3A

Sting Fling a cool, colorful success n STING, FROM PAGE ONE
Even more laughs were in store as the Azle City Council, along with Chamber Director Beth Crowe and administrative assistant Veronica Rios, accepted an ALS Ice Bucket Challenge immediately following the races and in spite of the cool temperatures. The AHS Drumline provided a drum roll prior to the drench-
ing as well as a celebratory dance afterward. Traditional festival fare like fried ribbon potatoes and funnel cakes, as well as some newfangled treats – the deep-fried Hawaiian Grilled Cheese was delish if not recommended for thick, middle-aged waistlines – abounded, as did vendors and their vast wares. The “I’ve Got Talent” contest was held indoors at 404 Main
Place and was a crowd-pleaser, as well. Winners of the contest included • James Pinkston, 2nd place, and Saylor Hannie, 1st place and People’s Choice in the 4-8 age group; • Bryleigh Carey, 3rd place, Caitlen Sutton, 2nd place and People’s Choice, and Shelley DeVilliers, 1st place in the 9-13 age group;
• Faith Hughes, 3rd place, Mia Gordy, 2nd place and People’s Choice, and Jamie Stevens and Jaime Rodriguez, 1st place in the 14-18 age group; • Rose Drew, 2nd place, and Barbara Shepperd-Thomas, 1st place and People’s Choice in the 19-plus age group. • The Overall Grand Prize winner of the I’ve Got Talent contest was Chelsey Gleaves.

best way to avoid WNV is to prevent mosquito bites. • When you are outdoors, use insect repellent containing an EPA-registered active ingredient. Follow the directions on the package. • Many mosquitoes are the most active at dusk and dawn. Wear long sleeve shirts, long pants and socks sprayed with repellent if you plan to be out-
People over the age of 50 are at higher risk to develop serious symptoms of WNV if they do get sick and should take special care to avoid mosquito bites. Being outside means you’re at risk.

This mild illness gets better on its own, and no treatment is needed.

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.

Friendship benches donated to all Azle ISD campuses There is a new addition to each of the ten Azle ISD campuses this school year – Buddy Benches. After hearing about the KC (Kindness and Compassion) Club formed as part of the Rachel’s Challenge initiative, Scott and Nancy Tidwell contacted Silver Creek Elementary teacher Conay Singleton with a proposal for the Buddy Benches. Ms. Singleton and Principal Heidi Nelson gladly accepted the Tidwells proposal and
helped facilitate delivery at the other campuses. The Tidwells wanted to help students who felt left out. For example, if a student was having a rough day, he or she could sit on the Buddy Bench. A member of the Kindness and Compassion Club or any other student could sit with him or her and try to help. “If it helps one kid get a friend, then I want to do this,” said Nancy Tidwell. Two of the Tidwells’ children, Scooter and Tara, attended Sil-
ver Creek Elementary, so that campus received two benches. All other campuses received one bench. The benches located at elementary campuses have the words “Buddy “Rachel’s Challenge.” Bench” carved The Tidwells are working on on the backs. Benches located at secondary plans to add an additional bench campuses are embossed with at each campus next year.

T
oday there is a generation that wonders what the big deal is about the Dallas Cowboys. They wonder: Why are my parents/grandparents so worked up about the guys with stars on their helmets? This new generation has never seen the Pokes even sniff a Super Bowl. Dallas has won just a single playoff game – in 2009 – since December 1996. The last Cowboys Super Bowl appearance came to cap the 1995 season. So, a kid born, in, say, 1997 is 17 years old and has seen nothing but mediocrity from the franchise. What’s the big deal, Dad? Well, you kind of had to be there, son.

Then came Monday Night Football and Saturday Night Live. Recent generations shrug, but my gang literally stopped what we were doing in 1970 and 1975, respectively. It was literally Must-See TV. A few movies also startled America. Back before multiplexes and wide releases, we stood in line, sometimes for hours, to see a big movie. Jaws caused such a furor in 1975 that some people today still won’t go in to the ocean 39 years later. I waited in line longer for The Exorcist than any movie ever. You had to see it.

Many kids wonder why parents (well, mostly dads) still get misty eyed whenever the original Star Wars trilogy showed. It had colossal, magical impact on millions of kids then. In 1981, I almost missed a wedding where I was the Best Man because I could not tear myself away from this incredible cable TV station, MTV. Minimovies made from songs! Genius!

Letter to the Editor Semantics battle: So are we in a war? Dear Editor: After hearing President Obama’s address to the nation Sept. 10 concerning the looming threat of a new breed of terrorists to America and the immediate follow-up posts by Mr. Obama’s administration – Secretary of State John Kerry, Pentagon spokesman Admiral John Kirby, and White House Press Secretary Josh Earnest – a rhetorical question comes to mind: “Are these characters akin to the bumbling Keystone Cops?”
Admiral Kirby calls this “a war.” Mr. Kerry says, no this is not defined as a war but counter-terrorism.” Press Secretary Earnest, at the direction of the president, rebuked Mr Kerry on national TV saying, “Yes, it’s a war.” So which is it? A war on monsters straight from perdition or a war on semantics? Why didn’t Mr. Obama weigh in on this silliness? It was his speech. But that is the true conundrum for America – just what is in his head beyond the sand traps of Camp David? In Mr. Obama’s speech, he shows more of his unpreparedness and lack of credibility in intelligence. His
speech spells out that ISIS the terrorist group is not Islamic and is not a state! As if this group are some itinerant rebels in the woods. Perhaps they didn’t get Mr. Obama’s memo because the last time I checked, ISIS was an acronym for Islamic State in Iraq. It is a well-disciplined, financially funded army on the move that has successfully satiated most of Iraq and Syria and is on the march to our shores in America – with one third of the Muslim world sharing the same murderous doctrine of the Koran.

Fort Worth's North Side immigrants leave lasting legacies
F
or many years I have been aware of the early immigration to the North Side of Fort Worth, mostly from central and eastern Europe. By the 1890s ship travel became cheaper, and folks came from Poland, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, Russia, etc. to work in the two meat packing plants, Armour and Swift. This was true all over the Midwest in cities that had stockyards. In my book on the North Side, North of the River I included a chapter on these immigrants. Joe Rucky, who later changed his last name to Riscky, came to the U.S. from Poland in 1911. The next year he married a young Polish immigrant named Marcilia Bunker, name shortened from Bunkervich. Because Marcilia was a good cook, the couple later started a grocery store and then a restaurant on the North Side. Her barbecue meat with a special sauce later inspired a chain of Riscky's restaurants that the couple's descendants still operate.
THE
Theo Yardanoff, a young immigrant from Macedonia, later Yugoslavia, became an orphan in his own country. He worked hard for others and saved his money to come to America. Because an uncle lived in Fort Worth, he headed there and found a room in the stockyards area where 500 other Yugoslavs were working in the meat packing plants. Yardanoff, however, got a job as a janitor at Harris Hospital downtown and earned fifty cents a day for ten hours' work, six days a week. After his long work day, he studied English at night and saved money. He opened a small cafe in 1920. Europeans ate more organ meats than Americans, so he served liver, calf brains, sweetbreads and “calf fries,” the latter after a cowboy requested them. Yardanoff learned that “calf fries” were the testicles from a calf and was able to get all he wanted free at the packing plants. His calf-fry sandwich sold for fifteen cents and became very popular. His later Saddle and Sirloin Inn pleased customers in the stockyards for many years.
Another immigrant who has left a lasting legacy in Fort Worth, but he didn't come from eastern Europe is Joe T. Garcia. He came from Mexico to Texas in 1914 when he was PAGES FROM only sixteen. young WESTERN The Garcia worked HISTORY for Armour and J’Nell L. Pate Company in the stockyards for 20 years and also worked for an uncle who had started a grocery store. Joe T. got married, and his wife cooked lunches to sell in the grocery store. Joe would take lunch orders at Armour, go to the store for them, and deliver them back all on his own lunch hour. Soon the Garcias were making more money from lunches than from the grocery

store. (That same thing happened to Kincaid's Grocery on the west side of Fort Worth with their delicious hamburgers; they quit selling groceries and are still concentrating on hamburgers.) In 1935 Garcia bought a white, frame house at 2201 North Commerce, and began his own restaurant, which became famous. With a patio outside, Joe T. Garcia's Mexican Restaurant currently covers an entire block. Recently I learned of another immigrant whose legacy is strong in the North Side, in Texas and even beyond. Although I knew of the business, I didn't know that an immigrant began it. Abraham Luskey was a cobbler who learned his shoe and boot making trade in his native Russia when he made boots for the Russian Army. In 1919 he opened his first store in Fort Worth called A. E. Luskey and Son General Store. His son was named Jake. Jake had five sons, so later there were plenty of Luskey cousins to continue the family business, which they have done for 95 years.

ness today. In 1983 the Luskeys bought out Ryon's Saddle and Ranch Supply and continued making custom boots and saddles. They employ boot makers in Raymondville and El Paso. Six saddle makers work in Fort Worth at Ryon's original location on North Main in the stockyards district. Luskey's dropped its catalog in 2002 to go with the more modern website, which allows customers all over the world to view the Western styles of clothing and foot ware available. “The Europeans and Asians especially are into the West Texas look,” said one of the great-grandsons Alan Luskey recently. Old time immigrants like Joe Riscky, Theo Yardanoff, Joe T. Garcia and Abraham Luskey worked hard and benefitted from America's free enterprise system that allowed their family businesses to succeed. 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.

We’ve tweaked the News We have made a change to the paper. We have moved almost all of the reports we receive from fire and police departments out of the paper. They are still available – free and in their entirety – online. When you log on to www. azlenews.net, a series of tabs is set at the top of the web page. There’s a new one up there on the far right-hand side, Emergency Calls. No subscription is required to access Emergency Calls. From that tab, you can find the most recent call listing of police departments from Azle, Lakeside, and Reno as well as fire calls by Azle and ESD1. The Lake Report and the Police Blotter will remain in the physical paper. We made the move to free up room in the newspaper for more local stories and photographs. MKC
War of words? Texas, Mexico exchange words over border military force

hile the governor and group of tradewith-Texas promoters were in Japan and China last week, the 13th anniversary of the “9-11” terrorist attacks on the United States was broadly observed. Perry acknowledged the anniversary from afar and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, who serves as acting governor when Perry is out of the state, also made a similar, solemn statement on Sept. 11. Perry posted another statement in absentia, calling attention to the fact that some 1,000 National Guard troops, at his request, had taken positions at observation posts along the Texas-Mexico border to deter crossings of the Rio Grande by terrorists and drug traffickers. Mexican President Enrique Peña Nieto reacted, criticizing the deployment of National Guard to the border as a lessthan-neighborly act. Dewhurst responded to Presi-

These actions have me very concerned. “Restricting children’s meal choice to not include meat is irresponsible and has no place in our schools. This activist movement called ‘Meatless Mondays’ is a carefully orchestrated campaign that seeks to eliminate meat from Americans’ diets seven days a week, starting with Mondays. “For those Texans who choose not to eat meat, I say more power to you. If you want to take the personal challenge to go meatless on Mondays, go right ahead. However, we cannot force such an agenda-driven diet on anyone who has not chosen such a diet, especially our school children.” In other news, Staples on Sept. 10 announced the Texas Department of Agriculture will receive $317,600 in federal funding to help growers and handlers of organic agricultural products defray the costs of obtaining organic certification.

District play began with a formidable foe in Wichita Falls Rider. Azle (18-8, 0-1) had earlier closed out its non-district slate with a 3-0 sweep of Grandview at the AHS gym. Winning 25-23, 25-23, 2512, the Lady Hornets collected 30 kills including 8 from Zoe Estabrook, 6 from Chandler Arnold and 5 from Brooke Smith and Kaitlyn Ford. Smith had a superior match with a team-leading 6 aces and 21 assists. Arnold’s 13 digs was tops; Natalie Smith and Rachel Walker dug out 8 and 7, respectively. Hannah Boyd, Logan Graham, and Mallory Kay were credited with 1.5 blocks each. At Wichita Falls Rider on Sept. 12, the potent Lady RaidHornet runner Chase Smith totes a Cleburne Yellow ers defeated the Lady Hornets, Jacket a few more yards.

The Azle High School boys cross country team has pretty much let all the other District 5-5A teams know that they are vying for second place. Azle finished second in a Brewer-sponsored meet Sept. 12, trailing only 6A Northwest. When it came to other district competitors, the Hornets nearest rival was Wichita Falls Rider almost 100 points behind.
One football contestant pulled off a remarkable feat: Not only did Bobby Boyd go 12-0 in the contest, but he also got the tie-breaker of Azle 24, Cleburne 17 (41) exactly right. That is perfection and earned Boyd $20. Boyd’s rare effort was a bummer for Kyle Betz who also went 12-for-12. However, his tie-breaker of 79 was too high so he settled for the $10 second place check. th

Hornet JV, 9th claim victories The subvarsity football teams handled rivals in week three of play. The JV White beat Saginaw 28-22. The AHS JV D was led by Jordan Cartwright and Travis Dunn who “bring it every game,” coaches recalled. Paul Livingston also earned kudos. A major reason for the Azle victory, coaches noted was the play of the “Delta Force,” the kickoff team; the unit recovered 3 balls in the game. Devin Fort-Sorrentino got 2 and Jake Wood 1 loose ball. Offensively, Cody Finn hit Dylan Gibson for a 20-yard TD. Finn also scored twice on QB keepers while Dakota Hutson scored a 2-point PAT. Michael Gonzalez put AHS up with a 3-yard TD run with 1:30 left then scored the rushing PAT. The 9th Green (3-0) won a battle with Cleburne, 28-26. The AHS defense secured the game when Cody Donnell batted down a pass late in the
game. Gamble Moore picked off a Jacket aerial. Also key to the win were defensive linemen Adam Brazell and Cameron Hering, coaches said. Jake Norwood threw 3 TD passes, 2 to Colby Christian (5, 30 yards) and another to Donnell (30). Dylan Flynn also contributed a major reception. Ty Beck added a rushing touchdown of 45 yards. Also strong running were Gamble Moore, and Dylan Fugate, said coaches. The 9th White skunked Cleburne 20-0. Dalton Wilson and Dylon Lowery helped stop the Jackets twice in the red zone. Justin White returned 3 punts for 87 yards. Ethan Ludwig ran for TDS of 45 and 38 yards and Artavion Harrell got another from the 10. The line that opened holes: Gage Dusek, Bobby Doherty, Brodie Doherty, Joseph Heminger, and Garrett Ridgeway.

Movie Man
Wednesday, September 17, 2014
The game stands tall, the movie not so much The Movie Man dipped back – for the last time in a while, hopefully – to a movie that has been out a spell, When the Game Stands Tall. It’s a film that fills more than one niche; it’s an inspirational movie, a sports picture, and one with a spiritual bent made, in part, by a “religious studio.” About the film Cinematic history is full of inspirational movies, some of them sports films. You will seldom find a unanimous choice when it comes to which sports movie is best. The Movie Man would pick The Natural (1984), Rocky (1976), and Field of Dreams (1989), in that order. Others pick among these: Hoosiers (1986, a regular top pick but a bit too corny for the Movie Man); Bull Durham (1988, overrated, the Movie Man thinks); Rudy (1993, speaking of corny); and The Blind Side (2009, Movie Man No. 852, 5) Critically, the best sports movie is without question Raging Bull (1980). Another top sports movie is one that high school coaches have used everywhere for years to inspire teenagers, Remember the Titans (2000). When the Game Stands Tall is a mini-Remember the Titans. Both focus on the importance of teamwork, that the group is more important than the individual. Of course, there are other movies that fall under the inspirational label away from sports: Dead Poets Society (1989); Mr. Holland’s Opus (1995); Schindler’s List (1993, MM #22, 9); To Kill a Mockingbird (1962); Forrest Gump (1994, MM #33, 9, Best of Year); The Shawshank Redemption (1994); Norma Rae (1979); Apollo 13 (1995, MM #84, 8); The Elephant Man (1980); It’s a Wonderful Life (1946) – the list could be much longer.
And occasionally, a good religious movie comes along: The Ten Commandments (1956); Ben-Hur (1959); and the best ever, The Passion of the Christ (2004, MM #549, 8). Others could arrive in the near future. Despite the “failure” of Noah (MM #1,081, 4; it made $101.2 million in America and $359.2 million worldwide) earlier this year, a biggie awaits at Christmas Exodus, a Hollywood blockbuster attempt to capture the affluent Christian audience. Plus there’s a plethora of small studios popping up that are making a variety of spiritual-themed movies. When the Game Stands Tall took the now-familiar route of making pitches directly to Christian groups. Large placards were erected in auditorium lobbies encouraging churches to gather groups to attend screenings by becoming “team members.” The group sales pitch worked OK – the movie has made $23.2 million, not bad for a niche picture. Financing When the Game Stands Tall was Affirm Films whose motto is “sharing faith through films” – in movies like Soul Surfer (2011) and the decent Heaven Is for Real (2014, MM #1,084, 6). One day, a really good movie will be made by an independent religious studio. (The Passion of the Christ was independently made.) However, that good movie is not When the Game Stands Tall.

Movie Man and that riles other schools. So Caviezel and Coach Eidson (Michael Chiklis) decided to play other football powerhouses. Right off the bat, the new edition of Spartans – clearly not as close a group as earlier state championship teams – lose and the streak ends. Then they lose again. Caviezel, who is recovering from the heart attack between seasons, sees his Biblical and camaraderie teachings are not taking hold on this group of Spartans. While players squabble, Caviezel ponders taking a collegiate coaching job at the encouragement of his wife, Bev (Laura Dern). Meanwhile, he keeps lecturing the Spartans that goodness and fairness is vital, not just victories. The team gels and makes a run for yet another championship. When they have it locked up, top running back Chris (Alexander Ludwig) can fulfill the wish of his hot-headed father Mickey (Clancy Brown) by breaking the all-time rushing touchdown record. But Ludwig looks to the sidelines, wrestling with what to do – set the record or be kind and not run the score up on their clearly vanquished opponent.
The plot (spoilers) Calm natured Coach Bob Ladouceur (Jim Caviezel who played Jesus in The Passion of the Christ) leads the incredibly successful football team at a private high school, De La Salle in California. So successful that the Spartans put together a 151-game winning streak, the all-time record. But De La Salle is not What works liked; they can recruit players Caviezel is always good and

he is here, too. The role isn’t showy – he never raises his voice – but you believe he believes the lessons he teaches his charges. Chiklis also is good, as usual. He gets the few funny lines in the movie. Some of the football action is decent, and it’s more potent thanks to the jacked up soundtrack that makes every collision sound like a train wrecking. The movie, after a timid start (see What doesn’t work), picks up after the Spartans lose the big game. Best scene It’s brief but effective. The

What’s in a drought? Recent rains not enough to shake North Texas water track of county burn bans. Predictions of rain and temperatures come from the Climate Prediction Center, part of the NWS. Our recent drought Officially, the North Texas drought began Sept. 9, 2010 after Tropical Storm Hermione passed. Since then, despite occasional reprieves, “the hydrological drought has steadily worsened across much of the region,” a NWS report noted. A late summer shower won’t dent the North Texas drought, but the region will take all it can get as the drought enters Drought conditions its fourth year. Photo by Mark K.

by mark k. campbell Ever wonder who decides who’s in a drought? The National Weather Service (NWS) gathers data from numerous sites to make specific designations. NWS “facilitates continuous discussion” with several agencies as well as academia and localized outlets. All this information is compiled in one clearinghouse, the Drought Impact Reporter which is maintained by the National Drought Mitigation Center. Among the impacts examined are agricultural issues, hydrological deficits – low lake levels – fire danger, and other social and economic consequences. Hydrologic data comes from several sources including: The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Texas Water Development Board, and local water districts like Tarrant Regional Water District and Walnut Creek Special Utility District. The Texas A&M Forest Service monitors vegetation constantly to determine wildfire potential. That state agency also keeps

by carla noah stutsman Area cities continue to report sales tax revenues ranging from extreme highs to extreme lows, although statewide averages continue to climb. Texas Comptroller Susan Combs said state sales tax revenue in August was $2.57 billion, up 7.5 percent compared to August 2013. “The latest monthly gains were led by remittances from the oil and natural gas, wholesale trade, and retail trade sectors,” Combs said. “Fiscal year 2014 ended with total collections at $27.27 billion, up 5.5 percent over the previous year. Growth in both business and consumer spending fostered the gains for the year.” The cities of Reno and Pelican Bay report drops in September revenues when compared with September 2013 revenues. Other cities and special purpose districts in the area report moderate increases. Reno’s September sales tax revenue of $6,837 is down 16.14 percent from the $8,154 it received in September 2013. Year-to-date, the city reflects a slight downward trend, with $60,903 collected so far in 2014 compared with $62,858
