City to repave South Stewart at bridge

Bridge Nearing Completion – Paving Next

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Construction on the South Stewart Street bridge over Ash Creek is coming along nicely. In fact, Val Lopez, spokesman for the Texas Department of Transportation, said the agency is “optimistic” that the bridge could reopen to vehicular traffi c prior to its offi cial projected completion date of early 2016. That is, of course, contingent upon continued good weather. Apparently, the city of Azle is optimistic, as well. Work on the new South Stewart Street Bridge over Ash Creek is progressing well, thanks largely to near-perfect weather. The city plans to repave both sides of the bridge before opening it to the public. Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman

We could live without oil and gas if we have to.” Calling the hearings that led to the TRC’s decision to allow the XTO and EnerVest wells to continue to operate a farce, Stokes says she’s “absolutely furious. We should all remember exactly this when it’s time to elect Railroad Commissioners again,” adding that the damage they can do between now and then is enormous. “Our only voice is our vote”. An SMU spokesperson said, “SMU’s seismology team stands by its research and does not comment on public policy.”

City adopts budget, raises tax, water, and sewer rates BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Not a single citizen of Azle spoke – either for or against – at the fi nal public hearing Tuesday, Sept. 15 when members of the Azle city council considered the Fiscal Year 2015-2016 budget, tax rate and water and sewer base rates. When that hearing was done, the council adopted those three items as presented. The budget The FY 2015-2016 budget, as adopted, provides for the following appropriations to provide for expenses/ expenditures: • General Fund: $8,894,050 • Debt Service Fund: $952,007 • Utility Fund: $7,387,768 • Golf Course Fund: $995,928 Lady Hornet volleyball senior Hannah Walker does not really have • Stormwater Fund: $250,501 four arms – even though it might have helped Azle in a loss to • Street Maintenance Fund: Brewer Sept. 18 in White Settlement.

$761,000 • Court Security Fund: $5,000 • Court Technology Fund: $6,750 • Hotel/Motel Tax Fund: $1,800 • Capital Project Fund: $700,000 • Water and Sewer Capital Project Fund: $460,000 The total allocation of all funds for the FY 2015-2016 budget is $20,414,804. Tax rate Council then voted to approve a tax rate increase from $0.6680 for FY 2014-2015 to $0.6795 – an increase of $0.0115 (1.15 cents) per $100 of valuation on real property. Of the total tax rate, $0.5415 will be allocated to operations and maintenance (O&M), with the remaining $0.1380 going to debt service. The tax rate is $0.0129 more than the effective tax rate of $0.6666; it is

$0.0265 below the roll back rate of $0.7060. The effective tax rate is the rate that would have to be applied to the current values in order to raise the same amount of revenue it raised the previous year. The roll back rate is the rate at which the city becomes subject to a tax rollback election at which local voters may reduce the tax levy increase to an eight-percent increase. The 2.93 percent increase in the tax rate will result in the owner of a home valued at $100,000 seeing an average increase of $11.50 on their next tax bill, while the owner of a home valued at $200,000 will see an average increase of $23 for the year for maintenance and operations.

Paving next for Stewart St. ■ PAVING, FROM PAGE ONE.

During the city council meeting Tuesday, Sept. 15, the council awarded a bid of $84,424.50 to Reynolds Asphalt for the reclamation and asphalting of a 100-foot section of roadway on either side of the bridge. That project is being timed – in conjunction with Ragle Construction Company, the contractor for the bridge project – to be completed within two to three days of the bridge completion. Rick White, director of public services for the city of Azle, anticipates that date of completion to be around Oct. 22. “Regardless of which project Diagram shows (in red) the two portions of South Stewis completed fi rst, the roadway art Street where the city has contracted with Reynolds won’t reopen to traffi c until Asphalt to reclaim and asphalt the roadway on either both projects are complete,” side of the South Stewart Street Bridge.

Water, sewer base rates City Manager Craig Lemin says raising water and/or sewer rates is not something anyone ever wants to do, and that’s indicated, he told council, by the fact that those rates have not increased in the city of Azle since 2004. “We’re on track this year to lose more than $200,000, and last year we lost $344,000,” Lemin told council. “We cannot conCancer has now surpassed cardiac disease as the number one cause of death tinue on the path we’re on now among fi refi ghters, and the International Association of Fire Fighters Local Chapter or we’ll be back where we were 3627 is once again selling t-shirts to spread awareness of cancer.

Water and sewer rate calculations are complicated, but according to a memo outlining the base rate increases, residential utility customers can expect to see their water bills increase by an average of 3.17 percent and their sewer bills increase an average of 3.21 percent.

Service projects give back Liberty Elementary kids say thanks in many ways in Rachel’s Challenge – like ev ery Azle ISD student – Newton wanted to expand on that. “I wanted to give the students an opportunity to give back,” she said. So every classroom – including special education students – takes on a unique service project. The variety is wide and the concept has gotten so popular that some teachers seek out Newton early in the school year to claim specific projects that would best fit their classrooms. Liberty students collect for the local humane shelter, assemble hygiene kits for the homeless,

by mARK K. CAmPbEll Shelly Newton, a counselor at Liberty Elementary, saw a need and began developing a way to meet it. The need? Many of the school’s chil dren are “economically disadvantaged” – 69 to 79 percent of them receive some sort of assistance, but they had no way to say thanks. Whether it’s a weekly food backpack, free meals, or eye glasses, many students receive help “and they truly need it,” Newton said. While all students take part

recycle, write cards to seniors, and “adopt a grandparent” to name a few projects. They also become pen pals to soldiers, adopt a zoo animal, plant trees, and collected food. In the first year of the program in 2013-14, over 1,000 people and 100 animals were helped. Last year, Newton challenged the children to double that and they did, from 2,000 people to 300 animals. “They are so proud of themselves,” the counselor said. “They don’t do it to get recognition.” Some projects can take just a

day while others last an entire year, Newton added. One class collected 19 pounds of can tabs. Another assembled 288 sack lunches for the home less. Yet another gathered 200 bags of food and 100 pounds of cat litter for the humane society. For every 100 acts, Newton creates a link to assemble a chain as an illustration for the children to show the good they are doing. This year the goal is for the chain to be bigger than ever.

A text a day could win $10K for AHS BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Want to get special offers from Brookshire’s Food and Pharmacy and help propel Azle High School toward winning up to $10,000? Just pull out your smart phone – not while you’re driving, of course! AHS is one of 121 high schools across Texas, Arkansas and Louisiana competing in three divisions in Brookshire’s ExtraPoint promotion. Competing against schools of like size based upon enrollment, schools in each of the three divisions vie for the top prize of $10,000 and a second place prize of $5,000. All you have to do is text the word “Azle” to 43101 to register your vote. You can only “vote” by text once a day, and depending upon your plan, your carrier may charge you for the texts – it’s a good idea to check fi rst. (Many people have unlimited texting, and that means your texts to Brookshire’s are free.) There’s even more good news with this promotion; when you send a text using the keyword “Azle,” you’ll receive the Brookshire’s offer of the week – a special deal you can take advantage of next time you’re in the store. All you have to do is show the cashier the text you receive back from Brookshire’s telling you what the special is. Mark Laudenheimer, store manager at the Azle Brookshire’s, said he tries to encourage everyone to text “Azle” to 43101 every day. “If we get students,

parents and the community texting every day, we could win this thing,” Laudenheimer said, adding that he and his crew will be on hand at the Boswell game Friday night, Sept. 25, to present a check for $1,000 to AHS – but that’s a separate deal. “It’s all part of how Brookshire’s gives back to the community,” Laudenheimer said. Azle High School is currently in 13th place among 36 high schools competing in the Blue Division. The competition ends at 11:59 p.m. Oct. 27. If you need further inspiration to begin texting, just know this: Springtown High School is currently in the number one slot among 46 high schools competing in the White Division. Ready. Set. Text “Azle” to 43101. Every day.

Marshmallow Challenge

Students at Azle Junior High observed Global Collaboration Day by competing in the Marshmallow Challenge, hosted by the Educational Service Center (ESC) Region 11 Distance Learning Team Friday, Sept. 18. The challenge was to build the tallest, free-standing structure out of 20 sticks of spaghetti, one yard of tape, one yard of string, and one marshmallow – all in 18 minutes. The challenge was videoconferenced across the globe. More than 255 schools and organizations participated representing 51 countries and 37 states. Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT BY JACKIE “JJ” JOY Though the parking lot is being reconstructed, and in spite of West Nile Virus being found in the Ash Creek Park area of Azle, senior citizens keep coming together and having food, fun and fellowship. The city has provided transportation from the temporary parking areas to the front door and back. Just look for the yellow parking stops along the game fi eld or the normal parking areas by the B. J. Clark Annex. You don’t want to miss anything. This week’s spotlight shines on Barbara Bagwell. A longtime volunteer, Barbara is committed to serving through kitchen duties. Having received a food handlers certifi cate, she knows the required operation of receiving the catered food, how to check temperatures, and proper serving

methods. Kudos and a “job well done” go to Barbara. New Director of the Azle Senior Center Kip Young is always looking for something to celebrate. On Wednesday, Sept. 16, there was recognition of Grito de Doloras, the true independence day of Mexico. Folks were encouraged to dress in red, green and white, the colors of the Mexican fl ag. With festive decorations, tacos for lunch, Mexican music, and even some dancing, everyone seemed to enjoy themselves. Melissa Karney of Community Hospice of Texas came Thursday, Sept. 17 to speak about the full spectrum of hospice care. This program is not for the dying only, but a support system from the medical, spiritual, and emotional needs of those who are ill and the entire family – including specialized counseling for children.

The week was concluded with Produce Day and fl u shots. Representatives from Minyard Sun Fresh Pharmacy gave fl u shots to seniors with Medicare or qualifying insurance. After lunch, produce was given out to those seniors who had met the requirement of eating at the center at least four times since the last Produce Day. Our menu for the week of Sept. 2125 will include breaded fi sh and rice Florentine and turkey breast with gravy. The only request is you call before 12:30 p.m. the day before you wish to join us for lunch to reserve yours. Salads are available Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday, but must be ordered the week before. So come visit and check us out, join in some of the games and activities. This is your Azle Senior Center.

Sometimes the juice is just not worth the squeeze

Officials need to act quickly to stop unregulated gunfire

There are guns being fired so close to an elementary school that teachers hurry to get children inside for safety. Yes, that’s right: Guns are being fired close to an elementary school! And there’s an unregulated, homemade gun range that has bullets flying throughout Reno. If ever a situation needed immediate remedy, it’s this gunfire situation that, sadly, is begging for a tragedy to occur. Town officials said all the right things at a Sept. 14 council meeting. Right now, there is no ordinance that regulates the discharge of firearms within city limits. But they’re checking into it. The situation is so dire that Springtown ISD Superintendent Mike Kelley spoke to the assembled townsfolk and officials, telling them, “We have to make sure our children are protected.” A school superintendent is having to ask city administrators to make sure bullets don’t fly toward an elementary school. Yes, that’s right: To make sure bullets don’t fly toward an elementary school! Reno Mayor Lynda Stokes said gunfire concerns are nothing new to the area. In the vicinity of the crude gun range, one animal, a ram, has already been killed and the mayor herself said she had a horse shot previously. City Administrator and Director of Public Safety Joe Polino said city officials are investigating concerns not only about the ram being killed but bullets flying across property lines. Stokes said she is researching berms – a provision that BriarReno Volunteer Fire Department Chief Shannon Smithers endorses. The mayor also is checking out acreage requirements and has contacted the National Rifle Association about gun ranges. All this information gathering is well and good. But action on this needs to be put on the fastest track, because gunfire is forcing schoolchildren inside. Yes, that’s right: Gunfire is forcing schoolchildren inside! This amateur gun range is a hazard and flat-out dangerous. Reno needs to act as quickly as possible to make sure that no tragedy occurs. Certainly, it takes a while to get things moving when it comes to governmental ordinances and regulations. But this is an incidence of necessary expedience. Officials should call in every chit or favor they have tucked away and should be working into the dead of night. The majority of Reno residents in attendance at the meeting agreed that they want to see action on the unregulated gunfire peppering their town. Here’s a chance for Reno’s leaders – Stokes, Polino, and Smithers – to show citizens that they made the right call by putting them in power. Make it happen! Because: Guns are being fired near an elementary school! MKC

hile recently listening to one of my favorite podcasts, I heard an unfamiliar phrase. The podcaster was talking about how he wanted to share with his audience the really powerful and helpful content of another podcaster, but he determined not to do so because the other person used so much profanity in his presentation. When the first one weighed the benefits of the content to his audience against the risk of the profanity offending his audience (and possibly causing him to lose listeners), he determined not to share. He said, “The juice wasn’t worth the squeeze.” I had never heard that phrase before, but it really spoke to me. I wish more people, churches, organizations, and businesses would weigh the benefits (juice) against the cost (squeeze) before they make decisions. When I say “cost,” I’m not simply talking about finances. I’m also talking about reputation (how others perceive us), influence (if others listen to us), longevity (how long we desire to be a part of the discussion), and effectiveness (if our input really matters). I think about those individuals and

groups who hang their hats on one political issue or agenda. For a lobbyist, the juice may indeed be worth the squeeze. For a church or non-profit organization who decides to LIFE MATTERS address moral issues as if Gerry Lewis they are political or political issues as if they are moral…well, maybe not. Of course, like my influential podcaster, each of us must determine for ourselves whether the juice is worth the squeeze. I don’t get to make that decision for someone else or for another group. On a fairly regular basis, I get invited to attend, participate in, publicize, or organize meetings or rallies promoting some cause. I don’t get to tell people that their cause is not worth promoting. I do get to decide if the juice is worth the squeeze as far as my personal participation is concerned.

I’ve thought of a couple of processing questions to help me determine, on a case-by-case basis, if the juice is worth the squeeze. 1. What will participation in this cost me in terms of reputation, influence, longevity, and effectiveness? If I identify with this cause or ideology, what opportunities will I lose to speak into other issues? What kind of Pandora’s box will I open if I go there? 2. What will it cost me if I don’t participate in this? Is it so central to my personal values or to the well-being of my community that it is worth whatever consequences may come? Does my identity as a Christ-follower who believes that the Bible is God’s absolutely true and trustworthy written revelation of Himself require my participation? You will have to determine your own process. If mine is a helpful template, you are welcome to it. This I know: our lives matter to God. He proved that at great personal cost. Jesus believes we are worth the squeeze. Azle resident Dr. Gerry Lewis is director of missions for the Harvest Baptist Association, which is headquartered in Decatur.

Famed Western historian gives overview of Texas Rangers

n an earlier column I mentioned the Western Writers of America convention which I attended primarily because historian Robert M. Utley would be inducted into their Hall of

Fame. I met his wife Melody in 1972 at a conference at Utah State University. She and I became friends and attended the same conference the following year where we both met Bob Utley for the first time. He was one of the guest historians. Fast forward 43 years to the present. Bob and Melody married, and we have kept in touch. Bob, now in his eighties, gave the Keynote Address at the Lubbock convention, entitled “The Texas Rangers: Then and Now.” His speech was an overview from his two books on the Rangers Lone Star Justice (2002) and Lone Star Lawmen (2007). A leading Western historian, Bob also has written books on the fur trade, Billy the Kid, Geronimo, and overviews of the cavalry and Indian wars.

THE

If one can give a broad overview of nearly two centuries of the Texas Rangers in a 30-minute speech, and if my scribbling some notes in longhand is accurate, here it is. Utley did what I like to do: tell history through the lives of people who lived it. He began with John Coffee Hayes, who has gone down in history as Jack Hayes. He was the leading Ranger in the 1840s, although, Utley acknowledged that the Rangers began much earlier. Hayes was a surveyor, but he had to become an Indian fighter on the frontier of Texas. He equipped his men with the Walker Colt, which the Texas Ranger Samuel Walker had suggested to the manufacturer, Samuel Colt. Colt made a revolver which fired six times, giving the Rangers the advantage at the time. Following the Civil War a Reconstruction governor Edmund J. Davis called the law enforcement officers State Police, but as soon as he left office Governor Richard Coke reinstated them as Texas Rangers. In 1874 a law authorized a battalion of state troops

to fight Indians. Major John B. Jones changed them from Indian fighters to law enforcementofficers. Jones had been a Confederate officer during the Civil War. During the Mexican RevoPAGES FROM lution (1910which WESTERN 1920), expanded over HISTORY the border into Rangers J’Nell L. Pate Texas, faced criticism as they sought law and order. During the 1920s they were assigned the same task in the various West Texas oil boom towns like Ranger, Desdemona, Eastland, etc. They faced extinction when the first female governor of Texas, Miriam A. Ferguson (1933-1935), took office, for one of her first actions was to dismiss

all the Rangers. In fact, 1935 became a “watershed” or turning point because the Texas Legislature passed a law creating the Department of Public Safety in which they combined the State Highway Patrol with the Texas Rangers. Many thought that the merger would make the Texas Rangers disappear. Instead, the professional crime fighters that we know today were made permanent and legitimized. Probably the success of the Department of Public Safety and the Texas Rangers within it came because of the longevity in office of the man chosen to head the Department: Col. Homer Garrison. He served from 1938 to 1968, encouraged the Rangers and won their respect. “As long as there is a Texas, there always will be Texas Rangers,” he affirmed. Manuel P. Gonzales was the most famous Ranger of Garrison's era, serving 1941-1951. He once said, “I would rather be tried for killing an outlaw than for having one of them tried for killing me.” Utley reminded his audience that

complaints were made in a governor's race in the 1970s from civil libertarians that there was no diversity. After a lawsuit in 1987 the Rangers hired two black Rangers. In 1993 pressure was exerted to hire women, but old time Rangers didn't like it, complaining, “Some things ought to remain sacred, and the Texas Rangers is one!” If Utley's figures are still correct, he said that there is one woman Texas Ranger today and 150 men. They are confident, professional lawmen (and woman), still proud to be the elite group that they are. Utley got a standing ovation, probably for his age and his many wellwritten Western history books, but I like to think it was also for how well he told the story of the Texas Rangers. I keep reminding my readers that I always think “lawmen” not “baseball” when I hear someone say “Texas Rangers.” Western history trumps sports!

OPINION 9A

Wednesday, September 23, 2015 Azle News

American Community Survey updates poverty statistics Texas’ poverty rate improved to 17.2 percent in 2014, according to U.S. Census Bureau’s American Community Survey released Sept. 17. Embedded in that statistic is this: more than 4.5 million Texans – 1.7 million of whom are children – still live in poverty. In 2014, the poverty line for a family of three was about $19,000 per year. Austin-based Center for Public Policy Priorities, a nonpartisan research and advocacy organization, said the poverty rate for Texas children of 24.6 percent remained unchanged from the previous year. “Although the state is growing, too many Texans struggle every day to make ends meet,” Jennifer Lee of the Center for Public Policy Priorities said. “High levels of child poverty continue to undermine our state economy and affect the future prosperity of our state,” she added. Other points made by the Center, based on the Census Bureau data: • Rapid economic growth in Texas cities and reflected in population growth, new construction, and increasing home values, has outpaced growth in Texans’ paychecks. • Median household income rose only slightly to $53,035. Income inequality is persistent in Texas. If Texas were made up of five people collectively earning $100, the highest-earning person would earn more than $51 while the lowest-earner would make $3.14 and the Texan in the middle earns $14. • Education levels and poverty are closely connected, under-

scoring the importance of educating the next generation of Texans for the s t a t e ’s future prosperity. Some STATE 28.5 perCAPITAL cent of T e x a n s HIGHLIGHTS without a high Ed Sterling school diploma lived in poverty, compared to 10 percent of those with some college education and only 4.5 percent for those with a bachelor’s degree. No one need go hungry Texas Department of Agriculture is encouraging Texans in need to apply for assistance through the U.S. Department of Agriculture-funded Child and Adult Care Food Program. About 13,000 adult and child care centers and home-based day cares in Texas are serving free or reduced-price meals through the program. Helpful information can be found at www.squaremeals.org. Unemployment rate drops Texas Workforce Commission on Sept. 18 announced Texas’ seasonally adjusted unemployment rate fell to 4.1 percent in August, the lowest rate of unemployment for Texas since January of 2001. The national unemployment rate was at 5.1 percent in August, ac-

cording to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics. Leisure and Hospitality led all major industries in Texas with an expansion of 5,900 jobs in August. The Professional and Business Services industry added 4,000 positions over the month, and Construction gained 3,200 jobs in August. Other Services, which includes religious and civic organizations, personal services and repair businesses, added 600 jobs in August. Texas Workforce Commission Chair Andres Alcantar said the state’s low unemployment rate “demonstrates the resilience and strength of the Texas economy.” Texas earns top rating A 2015 Global Location Trends Facts & Figures report by IBM ranks Texas the No. 1 state in the U.S. for foreign and domestic investment, based on number of jobs. Released last week, the report examines what drives companies to relocate or locate new operations and facilities around the world. Gov. Greg Abbott on Sept. 15 commented on the report, saying: “Texas is a state best characterized by its competitive advantage in diversity of talent, market and economic resources and it's no surprise we’ve again been named a top state for investment.” Child seats emphasized Texas Department of Transportation last week reported that in 2014, crashes on Texas roads killed 81 children younger than 8 years of age. In 2013

the death toll for children in the same age bracket was 67. Texas law requires all children under 8 years old, unless they are taller than 4 feet 9 inches, to be in a child safety seat whenever they ride in a passenger vehicle. Failure to properly restrain a child can result in a ticket up to $250. TxDOT conducted free child safety seat checks at the agency’s 25 statewide district offices as part of national Child Passenger Safety Week, Sept. 13-19. Houston is added to list U.S. Department of Homeland Security on Sept. 15 announced the adding of Houston and Chicago to the federal agency’s Domestic Nuclear Detection Office’s Securing the Cities program. The program reportedly is designed to help detect radiological and nuclear threats and protect major metropolitan areas against terrorist attacks. According to Census Bureau 2014 estimates, Houston, at 2.24 million people, is the nation’s fourth-largest city. Chicago, rated third largest, had a population of 2.72 million in 2014. On Sept. 15 Texas Department of Public Safety Director Steven McCraw said the program “offers state and local agencies vital resources to help prepare in protecting against radiological or nuclear terrorist attacks.”

ACS’ leading receiver was Mason Dickens who hauled in 9 passes for 120 yards. Defensively, the homeschooled visitors were potent. Azle Christian Coach Gary Rushing said, “THESA’s offense was just too much for the ACS defense.” When the Crusaders had the ball, a lack of establishing the run hampered Azle Christian, Rushing recalled. Next for the varsity squad is a contest against the junior varsity from a public school, Jonesboro.

Netters get wins at Chisholm Trail Azle High School tennis coach Lisa Helm said her squad was much improved at a tournament at Saginaw Chisholm Trail Sept. 11. “The team is super young this year with lots of kids in the program,” the coach said. “But we are getting better each practice.” Helm added that the current numbers of athletes is greater than any time ever at AHS. “Having the numbers is really exciting.” At Chisholm Trail, Hornet varsity doubles team Cody cody cook teamed with David rombouts to beat their Cook/David Rombouts was chisholm Trail counterparts.

Parker takes contest First place in the weekly football contest went to Lee Ann Parker who, by missing just two games, won $20. Two contestants were off on four games each, so the tie-breaker of Dallas 20, Philly 10 (30) decided things. Royce Daniels got $10 for a guess of 42 and Wes Robinson (47) won $5.

Movie Man

Azle News Wednesday, September 23, 2015

Scorch Trials heats up young adult Maze series With The Hunger Games being the cinematic Young Adult gold standard (excluding the Harry Potter series which belongs to another untouchable galaxy and the insanely profi table Twilight fi lms that folks can’t forget about fast enough), all others aimed at a teen audience seem to be piled up in a jumbled logjam. In that cinematic series pileup is The Maze Runner. About the film The fi rstMaze Runner (2014, Movie Man No. 1105, a 6) had its moments but was hardly memorable (just like most young adult adaptations). While the original didn’t light up the box offi ce – it made $102.4 million, enough to green light, The Scorch Trials, the second of three movies – it did better than a lot of YA series films. Hopes for big money from YA series faltered quickly when some well-read books croaked at the box offi ce:The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones (2013, $31.2 million); Inkheart ($17.3 million); and Vampire Academy (2014, $7.8 million). None of these successful book series got movie sequels. One YA success that did get two movies while not exactly knocking it out of the park was Percy Jackson. The fi rst one, Percy Jackson and the Olympians: The Lightning Thief made $88.8 million in 2010 despite that ridiculously long title. The sequel couldn’t match that number in 2013 with $68.6 million and the series died. That’s proving to be tricky. But Maze Runner: The Scorch Trials has done well enough – its 2015 opening is similar to the fi rst movie – so No. 3,The Death Cure, is a go; it will arrive in 2017. The plot (spoilers) Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) and his cohorts that escaped with him from the maze are now being taken care of by a mysterious group, WCKD, led by Jan-

son (Aidan Gillen). When Aria (Jacob Lofl and), a weird loner, contacts O’Brien, they discover a secret that makes the core Run! Run! Run! group try to escape. They fl ee into the “Scorch” Starring: Dylan O’Brien, Ki Hong – a wasteland where the real Lee, Kaya Scodelario world has been decimated.

dancers. Doped up too, O’Brien begins losing his touch on reality and fl ashing back to disconcerting events from his childhood. It’s a PG-13 version of that crazy party scene (you know if you’ve seen it) in Eyes Wide Shut (1999, MM #296, 3) – unsettling and eerie.

The rating While the Movie Man was perturbed that someone had brought a 3-year-old girl to such a fi lm, the PG-13 is OK with its mild language, action, and mild gore. But those monsters push to toward the far end of the rating – especially with a little girl in attendance.

What doesn’t work If you had a dollar every time someone says “run!” in this movie, you’d get the cost of admission back in about 20 minutes. It would make a serious drinking game. Along with all that running is jittery camera work that gets old fast. The new characters don’t get much of an introduction, especially Vince (Barry Pepper), a revolutionary leader. The ending is a mess. If WCKD has all that amazing fl ying fi repower, it’s hard to believe they couldn’t fi nd the revolutionaries – with a camp right out in the open! –without help. And the following fi refi ght is confusing and poorly done.

Summing up The Movie Man will head to The Death Cure in a couple of years. The Maze Runner movies aren’t home runs, but they’re solid doubles.

Some Frogs have hooves TCU women’s equestrian team holds practice, events at local arena BY MISTY SHAW Did you know there are Horned Frogs with hooves running around in our backyard? That’s right – the Texas Christian University women’s equestrian team holds practice and events locally at a top-notch facility out on Jay Bird Lane between Springtown and Azle.

It’s a bit of a trek for the team, but TCU Equestrian Director and Head Coach Haley Schoolfield says the 45-minute drive from campus is well worth it. “It’s really nice – we’re so lucky to have this place,” says Schoolfield of the Turning Point Ranch facility, which the team has been leasing for the

last four years. Loved by locals Now in its tenth season, this championship Big 12 team has enjoyed consistent competitive success, buoyed in part by support from the local community. “People from Azle really do pop in and watch our competi-

tions,” which is of course encouraged, Schoolfield said. “We hosted the Big 12 championships here at Turning Point Ranch, and actually, a lot of people from the community helped out, and a lot of people turned up to watch,” Schoolfield added. “It went beautifully.” The team also utilizes nearby sources for their supply needs, adding to that sense of community. “We buy our feed from Springtown Feed; they’re awesome and we love them,” Schoolfield said. Although the team isn’t slated to host another Big 12 championship until 2018, they do hold regular season competitions at the local arena, usually five or six per season.

Practice makes perfect This year’s rather large team roster lists 39 young women, 13 of whom are new recruits, Schoolfield said. “We’re a very young team this year, and we’re excited,” she said. “We think it’s going to be a great year because we do have a lot of really strong returners, but we’re also looking forward to developing our newer squad members.” On top of their busy course schedules, these unique TCU athletes adhere to a rigorous training regimen at the ranch, where they come to practice several times a week. And all that practice really pays off, as the successful team Team members Carley Barnett (left) and Jordan Appel take a moment to cool out has earned numerous Big 12 after practice.

Heart attacks are killers. Warning signs are lifesavers.

Heart Attack: Warning Signs & What to Do Learning the warning signs for a heart attack just might save your life. Most heart attacks involve discomfort in the center of the chest that lasts for more than a few minutes or goes away and comes back. This discomfort can feel like pressure, squeezing, fullness or pain and often accompanies or follows shortness of breath. Discomfort in other areas of the body includes one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach. Also be aware of other symptoms such as breaking out in a cold sweat, nausea or light-headedness. Act quickly when you notice the warning signs. Call 9-1-1 immediately if you experience symptoms.

a national championship for the Western team in 2008. Last season, the team had six student-athletes earn AllConference accolades in their respective disciplines. TCU riders compete in both Western and English events such as reigning, horsemanship, and hunt seat equitation over fences. “It takes a lot of hard work, but it pays off,” said freshman team member Haley Giddings. “Being a freshman, it was hard at first, but it’s so fun,” added fellow newcomer Olivia Cerino.

Schoolfield, who came to the team in June 2013, made school history by becoming TCU’s first Big 12 Coach of the Year. She says coaching really keeps her on her toes, “and that’s actually why I like this job, because no two days are the same.” Academics + athleticism In addition to their skills in the saddle, these student athletes are also recognized for their academic achievements. “Collegiate equestrian, or PLEASE SEE TCU, PAGE 2B.
