Kayaker drowns in Trinity River Lake Worth man found in EML discharge pool BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN One of six kayakers who set out on the West Fork of the Trinity River near Eagle Mountain Lake Saturday evening, May 23, drowned after the group was overtaken by water being released from the lake. The body of Joshua James Reed, 29, of Lake Worth, was recovered Sunday, May 24, at 2:49 p.m. by lake patrol officers with Tarrant Regional Water District and game wardens with Texas Parks and Wildlife. According to a report filed by TRWD officers, they were dispatched to a missing persons/possible drowning incident at about 10 p.m. Saturday night in the area of the EML main dam’s discharge. They learned that six individual kayakers, who had entered the Trinity near a bridge on Ten Mile Bridge

Road sometime around 7 p.m., had paddled upstream to the discharge apron when the water being released overtook their kayaks. It’s believed all six ended up in the water; Reed, however, never resurfaced. TRWD police and TPWD game wardens, along with Eagle Mountain Fire, Fort Worth Fire, and Fort Worth Police Air One helicopter conducted shoreline and aerial searches. Five of the six kayakers were located and several victims were taken to area hospitals with minor injuries and hypothermia, including a 6-yearold girl. All were treated and released. The report says that at the time of the incident, Eagle Mountain’s main Thousands gathered at Azle High School Thursday, May 21 for the Azle ISD’s annual Showcase, where dam was releasing out of two 48-inch students from every campus and every grade demonstrate their best work of the school year.

Enhancing Azle’s future BY MARK K. CAMPBELL Caitlin Glenn likes to trumpet Azle – and its potential. That's her job as the city's economic development director. And she's plenty passionate about making Azle more attractive to outside interests. When voters approved the creation of a municipal development district, Tarrant County taxpayers began contributing one-half cent sales take on Oct. 1, 2013. Speaking to the Azle Rotary Club, Glenn added that improvements will be made to the Parker County side of town, too.

Sales taxes from new businesses will ease that, she noted, adding that Azle is at “the center of Northwest Tarrant County” and in a prime location to attract businesses. How bad is local leakage? Right now, city services are funded mainly by property taxes at 44 percent. Sales tax covers 22 and the other 34 percent is taken care of by other means, one of her reports noted. When locals shop outside of Azle, citizens are actually funding other cities' services, Glenn noted. Development hurdles We need a shopping center in Azle, PLEASE SEE AZLE, PAGE 2A.

A Rare May Respite

The storms just keep a-comin’ this May. There was a break in the action briefly over the city library May 19. But soon the clouds returned and the nearrecord-setting rainfall for the month returned. Eagle Mountain Lake is beyond full and so are local tanks. So much rain has fallen that not only has the years-long drought been banished, but even Lake Bridgeport – which feeds into EML – has reached its normal level after being down more than 24 feet as recently as last month. Water stands in parks and low-lying areas – and more rain is predicted for the month. Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman

Azle growth on drawing board

Almost too close to call Brown, Self are AHS valedictorian, salutatorian after detailed calculations BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN

One one-hundredth of a percentage point. Academically, they’ve been ranked No. 1 and No. 2 throughout all four years of high school, and just one onehundredth of one point separated the grade point averages of the 2015 Azle High School Valedictorian and Salutatorian. But in the home stretch, No. 2 Taylor Brown just edged No. 1 Misty Self out of the top spot – the spot Self has held consistently since freshman year. The two are clearly very competitive with one another, and Self admits to “about a week of tears and depression, but I ate a lot of really good food and took some nice, long runs” after learning she was would graduate as salutatorian. The good news – especially for Brown – is that Self has decided not to have Brown “taken out,” she laughs. Actually (whew!), they both laughed. Brown is the son of James and Diana Brown of Azle. He has a 13-year-old sister, Cassidy Brown, who attends Forte Junior High.

n AZLE, FROM PAGE ONE.

It took multiple calculations but valedictorian Taylor Brown (left) edged out salutatorian Misty Self by a mere one one-hundreth of a point. Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman The Terry Scholar will attend the University of Texas at Arlington, where he will pursue a double-major in aerospace and mechanical engineering. Brown was a very active member of the AHS Marching Green Pride, serving as drum major his junior year, as well as the math and science team, and National Honor Society. He also volunteered at Ronald McDonald House in Fort Worth. The Brown family moved to Azle when Taylor was in sixth grade, he says, and “the reason my parents moved us here after moving around in the military was because of the Azle school system.” Brown credits AHS calculus teacher Jeff Tschoepe with helping put things in perspective when it comes to academia. “I worried for a long time about my grades,” Brown said. “Mr. Tschoepe helped me realize it’s not just about the grade you get – but what you learn and absorb in a class that counts.” Self is the daughter of Jim and Janie Self of Azle. She is headed for Texas Christian University where

she’ll study biochemistry. A Hornet since kindergarten, Self says Azle is the perfect place to grow up and go to school. “It’s not too big, not too small, and the community here is so supportive,” she said. “I think I got a better education here than I could have in other places, even in a big city.” Self ran cross country all four years of high school, played volleyball two of those years, and ran track her freshmen year. She’s a member of Peer Assisted Leadership (PALs) and student council, and serves as co-president of the National Honor Society as well as president of the senior class of 2015. Like Brown, she volunteers are Ronald McDonald House in Fort Worth. Self said her parents have been great mentors for her, but she lauded some members of the AHS faculty, as well. “Mr. [Sam] Robinson has been such an inspiration – he’s always there for us and really keeps us motivated. Mrs. [Shannon] Robinson has been great, too,” she said. “Coach [Melody] Dennis taught us so

much, like even when it hurt really bad, she’d make it fun. She taught us perseverance.” Both Brown and Self are keenly aware of the big speeches they’ll be delivering Friday evening, May 29, when the Class of 2015 graduates at the Fort Worth Convention Center, 1201 Houston Street in Fort Worth. Both agree they are working on finding the perfect balance between seriousness and humor, personalized for their class. Brown is almost finished with his speech; Self has given hers a lot of thought, but hadn’t begun putting her thoughts to paper a week before the big night. In their own words, both Brown and Self are “strong and well-rounded, academically, in the arts and athletically.” Azle High School Principal Sam Robinson explained that the calculation went out three decimal places in order to identify the valedictorian; it was then carried out to five decimal places just to ensure the calculation was correct. “It’s the closest I’ve personally ever seen,” Robinson said.

the economic development director said. That will attract bigger businesses. Another major problem is that Azle sits at the intersection of two state highways. That means any new merchants considering construction must deal with the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT). “We don't have long access roads so off-ramp placement is critical,” Glenn said. It's difficult to draw large commercial development. Because of TxDOT requirements, businesses would likely have to buy multiple properties since most lots off Highway 199 are deep and offer little frontage. She noted that every light in town is TxDOT controlled. Main Street has plenty of issues, too. There are parking problems, no sidewalks, and substantial infrastructure issues like water lines, she said. Drainage is also a concern, especially in the Highway 730 corridor, Glenn said.

It’s Never Too Late to hire your own trainer! It’s been a long, wet spring, but summertime is almost here. That means vacations and a more active life – and not only pretty, more revealing summer clothes, but the dreaded swimsuit. You’re not lazy. You’re willing to work hard to achieve your fitness goals. But if all your work is not bringing the desired results – maybe it’s time to hire your own personal trainer! Jonelle McDaniel of It’s Never Too Late can help, but it takes diet and exercise at the same time – not only working hard, but working smart. “Eighty percent of a fitness program is altering your eating habits,” she says. “Let me help you put it all together and make it work for you.” Jonelle specializes in helping women lose weight, gain strength and flexibility, boost their cardiovascular system and reduce the effects of menopause and aging. All of this means you feel and look better, have more energy and live longer. Instead of doctor bills, hospital stays and longterm health care, spending up-front on a personal trainer to help you develop a lifestyle of health and fitness is the smartest investment you can make. And often, it’s something women just won’t do for themselves as they take care of everyone else. Truly, it’s never too late to begin. Smaller meals, more often, and exercise will McDaniel, who at 72 is her own best advertise-

ment, truly practices what she preaches. “Your flexibility can be the same as always, but you have to work to build muscle mass and bone density,” she says. “This combination will start your metabolism and your brain will release hormones that will stimulate endorphins for better health and memory.” If you consider the cost of health care, the cost of good nutrition and a personal trainer is a bargain. Seventy-five percent of illness is caused by a lack of exercise and bad habits. Stress-related illness, high blood pressure and cholesterol and diabetes can all be traced back to unhealthy lifestyles. Do you think you are too old, too overweight, have a bad back or hips? Are you have problems with your knees or do you think it is too difficult to exercise? "I will start you out at your own pace and work with you to build your endurance, strength and balance. “I can help you change your lifestyle and become healthier and happier,” she says. “You can save money by changing those bad habits – you even produce more brain cells when you exercise!” If you’d like more confidence in yourself, more energy, give It’s Never Too Late a try.

OPINION

Music is great, but can a song save your life?

n David Letterman’s last show, he exited his lengthy TV career to a song by the Foo Fighters, “Everlong.” He mentioned how special the song was to him as he recovered from heart surgery years earlier. I know what he’s talking about. Sometimes a song takes on some kind of special power, one that affects only you in an indescribable way. And you latch onto it for dear life. For most of us, “Everlong” is just another rock song. But not for Letterman.

That’s how I feel about an obscure song you’ve probably never heard of, R.E.M.’s “Endgame.” In February 1996 – early on the morning of the 27th, to be exact – I was heading to what would become a five-alarm apartment fire in Arlington. But I never made it. En route, I felt left arm numbness, unbelievable nausea, and I started sweating madly. Holy cow, was I having a heart attack at 39 years old?! ON YOUR I spent the rest of the shift in the ER; MARK then, after the blood work was deemed okay, I was sent home. Mark K. Campbell But the symptoms returned, and I

began an insane amount of testing to try to figure out what was wrong. I was ridiculously fit then: I tested in the one percentile of humanity on the treadmill. (Oh, to be in such good shape today!) All tests kept coming back

fine; they finally settled on reflux as the culprit, but I knew it was not just that. (A truism: No one will ever know your body better than you.) So, while I went through proddings and pokings, I would come home – incredibly nauseated with plenty of anxiety – and plop down in front of our home computer (a behemoth tower in those days). The machine could play music and I put in R.E.M.’s Out of Time then clicked over to “Endgame.” There are no words in it – just some “da-das.” I don’t know why I found such solace in the music, but I did.

Somehow, I knew I wouldn’t die if that song was playing. Sounds dumb, of course, but I sat there and listened to “Endgame” (appreciating the irony of the title) over and over and over. Day after day. Over and over. I finally self-diagnosed myself with physical exhaustion. I began taking a few vacation days. And, weeks later, I started a steady recovery. Can a song save your life? I don’t have solid proof, but I say yes. Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and figured a religious song should’ve fixed things but that wasn’t the case in 1996 despite plenty of cueing up of DC Talk’s “Jesus Freak.”

On how to take a compliment

Y Letters to the Editor Shootings have to stop; police need more training When will justice be served? How long will it go on, these police shootings? People that have their hands up in the air and show no weapons still get shot at by those that are supposed to keep the peace. Where is their training? Why do they shoot to kill? Why, if they need to shoot, don’t they fire a shot to their legs? It happened again, right here in the Metroplex area.

What needs to be said is: The officer should be fired. No matter what happens now, the officer has to live with all that has happened for the rest of his life.

Local history-making WWI pilot training fields: Part 2

ast week's column told about the World War I Camp Taliaferro No. 1 pilot training field in present Saginaw and commander Major Theodore C. Macaulay. This week's focus is Taliaferro No. 2 in present Everman and Lieutenant Colonel Thomas C. Turner. When the U.S. took over from the Canadians, they renamed it Barron Field after Cadet R. J. Barron who drowned at Chandler Field, Essington, Pennsylvania on August 22, 1917 after his airplane fell into the water. Col. Turner, a Marine, took command of Barron Field in May 1918 after the Canadians left. Before all the personnel became acquainted with him, an incident occurred that folks later told and laughed about. Once a rookie cadet failed to salute Colonel Turner. As a Marine he wore a different shaped cap than most of the other officers who were in the Army. Col. Turner reportedly stopped the private and asked, “Don't you salute officers?” “Yes, sir,” the recruit replied.

THE

“Then why didn't you salute me?” Turner asked. “Because I thought you were a Y.M.C.A. [Young Men's Christian Association] secretary,” was the answer. The young man learned quickly that the commanding officer of Barron Field was a Marine and demanded respect. The Eastman Kodak Company wanted to help the war effort and gave free cameras if military fields would set up a training school of photography. Even though aerial photos were “unauthorized,” some of the ones the Barron Field photo department took of downtown Fort Worth proved useful in coming years, especially for real estate development. Barron Field differed somewhat from the other two Tarrant County fields in that a young man named 2nd Lt. Ormer Locklear began what really was stunt flying by crawling out on the wing while another pilot flew the airplane. Locklear was trying to see some large flash cards on the ground, part of a flying test, but the wing obscured the view. He was the only pilot who got a perfect score on the test. When Lock-

lear crawled out on the wing on other occasions, Col. Turner learned of it, but didn't censure him. Turner believed that Locklear's being able to balance himself on the wing demonstrated PAGES FROM the stabilWESTERN ity and smoothness of flight HISTORY in the Curtiss J’Nell L. Pate JN-4 (Jenny) airplanes. After the war Locklear made a career at state fairs of stunt flying, even making two Hollywood films. Unfortunately, he crashed and died during filming of the second. Col. Turner was born on Mare Island, Cal. March 29, 1882, and joined the Marine Corps as an enlisted man in 1902. He must have attended officer school, because by August, 1903 he was commissioned a 2nd Lt. The Publisher Kim Ware

Marines first sent him to the Philippines, then to Puerto Rico. In April 1914 he was among the Marines to land at Vera Cruz to restore order during a conflict with Mexico while Victoriano Huerta was president. Turner was in Vera Cruz until the Americans left in 1916. At that point he took command of the Marines on the battleship Texas. After his first command on land at the San Diego Marine Base, Turner in 1917 was transferred to the aviation section of the Army, and commanded Barron Field near Fort Worth. In 1919 his orders returned him to flying with the Marines, even though Barron Field did not shut down until June 30, 1921, the last of the three fields to close. In October 1919 Turner's orders took him to Haiti because of bandit operations. The Haitian government awarded him their Medal of Honor for his success. The U.S. Secretary of the Navy appointed Col. Turner as his Aide in charge of Marine aviation activities in the Navy Department. In this position Col. Turner made a flight to Santo Domingo and returned to Washington, at the time the longest

flight ever made by a Marine aviator. (Major Macaulay's longer flight from Fort Worth took place two years earlier in April 1919.) However Col. Turner's flight was “the longest unguarded flight over land and water made up to that time.” (1921) In 1922 he became commanding officer of the First Marine Aviation Group in Quantico, Virignia. After a short stint in China, he was back in the Navy Dept. in charge of Marine Aviation. Unfortunately, while on a mission in Haiti, on Oct. 28, 1931 his airplane got stuck in the sand. While going around to see how to free it, he slipped in the slush and the propeller hit his head. A Naval boat raced to take him to a hospital, but he died there the same day. He was buried at Arlington National Cemetery with full military honors. A few years later, on July 1, 1936 military personnel named the airfield at Marine Base Quantico “Turner Field” in his honor.

The Information industry enjoyed its largest monthly gain for the industry since June 2000 with the addition of 3,400 jobs in April.

The buzz around the Capitol before Memorial Day weekend was that with tax relief resolved, an agreement on the budget that will satisfy the governor’s expectations will soon follow.

ov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and House Speaker Joe Straus on May 21 jointly announced a $3.8 billion tax relief package for Texas businesses and homeowners. According to the announcement, the agreement reached by Patrick and Straus on a tax proposal, along with additional legislation, includes: 1. A 25 percent permanent reduction in the business margins tax; 2. A $10,000 increase in the homestead exemption, beginning in 2015, subject to passage of a constitutional amendment adopted in the November election; and 3.

Troopers will be looking for drunken drivers, speeding, and seat belt and other traffic violators statewide. Last year during the Memorial Day weekend, DPS troopers arrested 413 drunk drivers and issued 5,439 speeding citations, 1,053 seat belt and child safety restraint tickets, and cited 684 drivers for driving without insurance.

According to the Senate news service, House provisions added to the bill would strengthen on-line sales restrictions and the penalty for selling e-cigarettes to minors would be a fine of up to $500, the same as selling tobacco products to a minor. If Gov. Abbott signs the bill into law, it will take effect on Oct. 1. E-cigarettes vaporize a liquid containing nicotine that is inhaled by the user. Hinojosa expressed concern that use of “vaping” products is growing among younger Texans, saying, “We now have many minors using e-cigs in school because they think that it is a way to avoid smoking tobacco cigarettes.” A 2014 survey by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Federal Drug Administration shows e-cigarette use increas-

Annual Green-White Spring Game

The action was hot and heavy on a muggy May 22 at Hornet Field at the annual Green-White spring game. Head Coach Devon Dorris declared the outing a success: “It is an opportunity to get everyone on film with no coaches on the field. The best thing that can happen in these spring games is that no one gets injured. We escaped this spring with no serious injuries. That’s a win.”

Movie Man

Azle News Wednesday, May 27, 2015

Forecast for Disney’s Tomorrowland: Boring Ah, Disney: The kings of making bland, forgettable movies – films that look so fantastic in advance and end up being “well, that was okay, I guess.” Tomorrowland is another one of those. About the film (spoiler) The Movie Man got suckered in to putting Tomorrowland on his top 10 for the summer; that might become a rare Movie Man misfire. While the advance notices were not great, Disney put on a big push to get audiences to the movie. But there’s some grumbling out there that the PG rating is too light. There are some startlingly violent scenes in Tomorrowland that are surprising some folks who are taking their young children to auditoriums. Instead of a sci-fi-lite, follow-your-dream gooey Disney concoction, there are scenes of decapitation, amputation, fights, and even a little girl getting hit by a car. (It’s all robot damage, but they look human and that’s freaking out some children, apparently.) So maybe Tomorrowland should be a PG-13. There have been plenty of movies that have questionable ratings – in fact deciding on how to rate a movie in the first place has been a chore ever since the initial ratings system in 1968 of G, M, R, and X (soon, M was changed to GP). The big change arrived in 1984. Earlier, in 1975, Jaws got a PG yet it was full of horrific images. Then came 1984 when Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom (directed, like Jaws, by Steven Spielberg) and Gremlins (produced by Spielberg) were also parentally ragged for having too many scenes deemed inappropriate for children. So the PG-13 was born – a rating to span the PG and R ratings. (Originally the rating was to be PG-14.) The first movie to get a PG-13 was Red Dawn on July 1, 1984. Today, there are still ratings controversies and studios battle for the coveted PG-13 rather

than the R – which theoretically bans many teenagers and therefore cuts into the theatrical take. Cuts are almost always made after previews to make sure that the friendlier PG-13 is achieved. Tomorrowland probably should be a PG-13. The plot Today’s world is crumbling. There are wars and famine and death and mayhem everywhere. Genius teenager Casey (Britt Robertson), daughter of a NASA scientist (Tim McGraw) who will soon be out of work, gets arrested for damaging a launch pad. When she gets her items back from the cops, a pin is with her belongings. Picking it up, she gets a glimpse of a futuristic society. A little girl, Athena (Raffey Cassidy), comes looking for Robertson. Their journey leads them to cranky adult Frank (George Clooney) who was part of Tomorrowland, a secret society where the best of the best worked, as a child. Robertson’s very presence causes a monitor blip that shocks Clooney. Soon, they are set upon by killer humanoid robots from Tomorrowland. The only way to stop what is deemed the end of the world in 58 days is to travel to the dimension that houses Tomorrowland.

Tomorrowland

email: movieman@azlenews.net

There, Governor Nix (Hugh Laurie) oversees a dilapidated landscape – one far different looking than Robertson glimpsed. Laurie says Earth had plenty of chances to be a wonderful place but they blew it, so Tomorrowland is going to let the world end. But, Robertson has a plan… What works Clooney is always fun. He’s a bit craggy these days, but he wears it well and it fits this role. The movie is much better when he’s around. Laurie makes for a good bad guy, too. The actual plot – that there’s a pin that can take you to a wonderland – is a great idea. Even though opportunities seem

squandered, there are some nice images (see Best scene) and scenes where participants can see mere seconds into the future pay off. There’s a fun (and violent) sequence in a Houston toy store that contains a ton of “Easter eggs” for the Disney faithful. Best scene (spoiler) The ending helps Tomorrowland a lot. The day has been saved and a new breed of young human-looking robots is being sent to Earth to seek out the next

generation of dreamers and creators. The unique pin is shown being clandestinely given to a variety of folks – environmentalists, singers, artists, scientists – all of whom, in the final scene, pop up in a vast wheat field with Tomorrowland in the distance. It’s a great image. What doesn’t work (spoilers) This is classic, icky, treehugging Disney at its finest – peace, love, and happiness will help us all get along. The plot’s pivot point – that a giant antenna is beaming negative images down to Earth and that’s what’s causing all the evil in the world – is pretty dumb. And so is the resolution to take down the tower. Robertson is grating and buying her as a genius is hard. The scene where Clooney says farewell to young girl robot Cassidy it’s a little creepy. He fell in love with her as a young boy; of course, she never aged, so grizzly, teary-eyed old man Cooney hovering over an 8-year-old girl is more than offputting. Even Movie Wife noted

the lack of “flow” in Tomorrowland. The movie staggers around herky-jerky, and it’s anything but smooth. The rating As mentioned, the violence is severe enough to warrant a PG-13 and that car-hitting-girl scene is downright shocking. Summing up Even with director Brad Bird and Lost’s Damon Lindelof involved, Tomorrowland is a disappointment. It should’ve been an awe-inspiring marvel, yet, somehow, it’s almost boring.

A great exchange

Student from Germany samples American life in Azle

BY MISTY SHAW It’s not every day that a high school student leaves home at age 15 and flies halfway across the world to join a new family in a different country. But that’s exactly what foreign exchange students do, including Azle High School’s Benedikt Witteler, who came here from Germany last year as part of the Northwest Student Exchange (NWSE) program. “I’m having a good time,” Witteler said. “In the beginning it was probably a little hard, but I never really was homesick. “It was super easy for me to make friends. Everybody was really nice and now I have a lot of friends here, so that’s great.” A new family Witteler has become a valued member of the Roddy family, bonding closely with fellow AHS student Xan Roddy and his older sister, Kali Roddy, who live in Azle with their grandparents, Earyl and Betty Roddy. “It’s been a great experience for us,” said Earyl Roddy. “Benedikt just fits in extremely well with the family – right from the beginning, he started catching on to the family jokes and everything that we do.” Though he is a long way from his home and family in the

Witteler has two older sisters, both of whom also participated in a foreign exchange program.

him from excelling academically. “School is not so hard here, not so stressful,” he said. “Here, with no high effort, I’m able to make really good grades, like all A’s and not have any trouble. But for the effort I give here, in Germany, I would make like C’s and D’s.” Earyl Roddy says Witteler is dedicated to his studies and has a strong work ethic. “He’s a very hard worker -he works very hard on his academics and wants to succeed there. That’s just his way.” Witteler even earned a letter jacket for his accomplishments in band, Roddy said. “He did a solo in the UIL competition, so he’s qualified to get a letter jacket,” said Roddy. “They’ll be ordering that next week and it won’t be in until the fall, so we’ll ship it to him.

they’re very nice people, very supportive,” Earyl Roddy said. “I don’t know if we will, but someday we’d sure like to meet them,” Earyl Roddy said. Xan Roddy says he definitely plans to visit Witteler in Germany someday; he’s already trying to save money for the trip. “At my house, you’re always welcome,” Witteler told Roddy. Bonds to last a lifetime With the school year coming to a close this week, Witteler will soon return home with “mixed feelings” about leaving his Roddy family. “Of course I’m looking forward to seeing my family again, and my German friends, but like, one week later, I’m going to feel the same way about the people and family here,” he said. “But I think it’s a good sign if I’m going to miss everybody here. You just can’t be in two places at the same time.” Xan Roddy said “Benny told me he wishes he could just go to Germany for like, two weeks, and then come back here, and just go back and forth – he wants to stay here, but he also wants to see his family.” Perhaps that’s what makes it so hard for Witteler to leave, having had such a positive experience in America. “I am glad that I got to go the entire school year,” Witteler said. “It gives you so much more experience, and it helps my English, which has gotten better, and I think you’re learning way more after 10 months, so I’m glad that I got to stay.” Life will be different for the Roddy family, too, after “Benny” has gone back to Germany. “We’re definitely going to miss him,” Earyl Roddy said, to which Witteler immediately replied, “I’m going to miss you!” Consider hosting Jackubowski said hosting a foreign exchange student is a fun and rewarding experience for all involved, and encouraged more local families to participate. “We’re not looking for just traditional families – it can be single-parent families, retirees – anybody can host these students,” she said.

The Azle News and Springtown Epigraph welcome new part-time reporter Misty Shaw to the editorial staff. “I’m really excited to be here,” Shaw said. “Everyone has been so warm and friendly, and I enjoy getting to know people in my new community.” Though she is new to the area, Shaw is no stranger to the newspaper business. After graduating from Tarleton State University with a BA in English, she got her start in 2004 as a reporter for the Stephenville Empire-Tribune. She was promoted to News Editor in 2006, but shortly thereafter, her husband, Doug Shaw, gained employment with the State of Texas in Austin, so the couple relocated. After living in Austin for almost a decade, the Shaws happily returned to the North Texas area, having moved to Springtown three months ago. After working as a proofreader for the last several years, Shaw says she was eager to get back to her writing roots as a newspaper reporter. “I sort of stumbled upon the perfect opportunity to join the excellent staff here, so I

Our Troops and Veterans

How to give back to veterans Members of the military serve their country proudly, often sacrificing the luxuries of home and time spent with their families to do so. When veterans return home from training or deployment, many people want to show how much they appreciate the sacrifices made by the men and women of the military, but donÕt know the best way to share that appreciation. Donations to a veterans’ charity is one measure of support the public can offer. Many charities work to serve the needs of veterans. The Wounded Warrior Project provides rehabilitation, counseling and activities for veterans who were wounded during service, while Homes for Our Troops remodels homes or builds them for troops who were injured and need their homes remodeled as a result of their injuries. The USO provides a variety of services for veterans and can always use donations or volunteers. Another way to help veterans is to assist with their pets. Some dogs and cats get left behind when troops are deployed or forced to move. Volunteering to foster a pet until a soldier returns is another way to give back. Some military service dogs can be injured or traumatized during battle. Working dogs can be rehabilitated or adopted upon returning home. According to the organization Veterans, Inc., veterans are more at risk of becoming homeless than those who do not serve in the military. Some causes of homelessness include lack of education and transferable skills after returning from military life. Physical and mental health issues can make finding work challenging. Some veterans may cope with trauma resulting from their deployment by leaning on drugs and alcohol, and that can interfere with their ability to get and/ or keep jobs. Individuals can help veterans by opening their homes to friends and family members who may need a temporary place to stay. Encourage

veterans to embrace job training programs or seek therapy if necessary. Providing support to military personnel both past and present can mean a world of difference. Correspond with veter-

ans through mail, email or text messages. Operation American Soldier establishes connections between civilians and troops so that all soldiers receive daily mail, whether it’s a care package or letter of thanks.

Other simple ways people can give back to troops is to personally thank them for serving their country. Share time with veterans and ask to spend time listening to their stories and experiences.
