AHS auditorium, stadium upgrades likely soon BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN More seats for plays and programs in the auditorium and additional room to roam at Hornet Field are on tap for Azle High School. Since the AHS campus first opened in the 1990-91 school year, its auditorium has only seen the most minor of updates, like the replacement of drapes and carpet. As seats have become dilapidated, they’ve been used for parts to repair others in better shape, but now, the first few rows of seating are gone. All these years later, it’s simply time for a major upgrade. It looks like one may be coming in time for the 2015-2016 school year. During the Jan. 5 meeting of the Board of Trustees for the Azle Independent School District, AISD Director of Operations Todd Smith explained the situation to board members and asked for their blessing to pursue bids for upgrades to the auditorium and to Hornet Field, as well. Smith said earlier discussions had centered around a rehab of the auditorium over the Christmas holiday. “But there was just too much to be done – seating, carpeting, a waterdamaged ceiling, and there is asbestos in several areas in the ceiling and walls,” Smith told trustees. “To remove the asbestos, paint it, change out the lighting (the district already owns the new lights), install new seats and new flooring and move the The Azle High School Indoor Drumline, under the direction of AHS Percussion Director Richard Kearns, revealed its 2015 competition show Up In The Air Jan. 29 in the AHS main gym.

To the surprise of most, indoor kites and flying Frisbees are part of the fast-paced, innovative show.

50 One shade of grey for AHS Drama Dept. The great Oz came through! For three years, the Azle High School Drama Department and Drama Boosters have been raising money to purchase a new, professionallybuilt UIL Competition Grey Set and – thanks to the huge success of the drama department’s December production of The Wizard of Oz, that goal has finally been reached. You may be asking: What is a “Grey Set?” The so-called “Grey Set” is named

for the color of the set pieces used in student competition performances during UIL One Act Plays. One of the best kept secrets of high school live theater, the One-Act Play Contest is said to be the largest high school play production contest in the world with more than 14,000 Texas high school students competing in more than 1,000 plays across the state. During the statewide competition, more than 200 college and university faculty members serve as critic judges

at regional, zone, and finally state levels. All competing schools must utilize the exact same basic Grey Set pieces. The individual pieces are modular allowing them to be arranged differently for each show by each school. AHS Drama Boosters President Randa Goode couldn’t be happier about being able to obtain this important piece of equipment for the AHS drama department. “The drama students knew what our

goal was, but we kept it a secret and surprised them with the new Grey Set on Saturday, Jan. 24, just before the public performances of the Student Directed One-Act Plays,” Goode said. “We (the Drama Boosters and Director Tia Moen) met Friday night with two trailers to move the pieces from Mrs. Moen’s garage (where she had kept it stored for about a week to hide it from the students) to the band hall where the directors allowed us to set it up in a place where drama students

would not see it until we revealed it. “The drama students were thrilled with the new Grey Set since their old one was ‘homemade’ out of plywood by Mrs. Moen when she first started teaching in Azle ten years ago,” Goode continued. “This new professionally-built package has many new set pieces the department has never had access to, allowing them to expand its options in PLEASE SEE GREY, PAGE 2A.

Now, administrators are trying to get the pieces of the projects lined up to be done as soon as school is out in early June, Smith said. Brad Jones of Lone Star Furnishing was on hand to show off the choices for seating for the auditorium, and those in attendance were treated to a discussion about the number of “double rubs” – that’s each time a person’s backside sits on a seat and gets up – the fabric on a seat can take. A committee made up of fine arts staff and administrators from AHS took a long look at seating and came up with a final choice – one that can handle up to 250,000 “double-rubs” per seat. The seating upgrade will also include some handicap seating. The new configuration will give the auditorium roughly

Pesky pests: Rotary speaker gives hints to rid yards of critters, disease BY MARK K. CAMPBELL Got mole woes? Snake troubles? Fungus funk? Justin Berg, an owner at Xtreme Lawn Care, told Rotary Club members Jan. 28 that those pesky pests can be taken care of. Berg, who sold his successful business in Boston and relocated to Azle bringing his parents and in-laws along with his own family, said there are remedies for all yard critters. When he joined Xtreme Lawn Care four years ago, Berg took charge of the financial and expansion sides of the business and it has ballooned from 250 customers to 2,500. Xtreme handles all facets of lawn care, including tree care and irrigation services, he said. But the crowd at Rotary had

different sorts of questions for Berg – critter queries. Like: How do you get rid of moles? One key, Berg said, is to dispatch the food source – grubs. Doing so will send the blind critters – which are not rodents but members of the shrew family – off another direction for food. To rid your yard of those tasty grubs, Xtreme offers a potent one-time application annually. It's more powerful than any concoction offered at Home Depot or Lowe's, Berg said. When no June bug grubs are around, moles head to wherever they can be found – which just might be your neighbors' yards, Berg chuckled. That de-grub application has a specific time frame: late May to early June, he said.

Justin Berg, an owner of Xtreme Lawn Care, gave Rotary Club members tips on controlling invasive yard critters and diseases. Another method of ridding yourself of moles is to use poisoned earthworms, he said. Since moles – which can tunnel up to 100 feet daily – won't enter previously dug tunnels,

the critters are kept at bay. Berg was quick to say that earthworms are beneficial: “Grubs bad, earthworms, good,” he said. Killing grubs will also thwart armadillos, too, Berg said, answering another query. ‘Dillos will move elsewhere to find food. When someone questioned what to do about snakes, Berg said yard cleanliness was the best method. “They like cover and will go somewhere else if your yard is clean,” he said. Underground gophers are tougher to get rid of. Berg recommended trapping and removing. Grass fungus is also problematic around here, he said, adding that the recent drought has actually helped in that regard

because it has kept yard owners from watering too often. Berg said it's better to water twice weekly for 20 minutes or so at a time than for five minutes daily. Initially in that 20 minute stretch, there might be some water runoff; however, eventually the water will break down the hard topsoil and filter down to the roots. “Watering longer is better than more often,” he said.

Fungus is caused by overwatering – especially with St. Augustine, Berg said. He warned that watering at night was especially something that would grow a fungus. The best time for watering is between 3 and 5 a.m., he said. “All watering should be through by 9,” Berg noted. After that, evaporation takes its toll. He said Bermuda grass is “tough” and has far less trouble with fungus than St. Augustine.

Does the $14 hamburger hit on all cylinders?

nce upon a time, a hamburger was made of just ground beef, American cheese, and various and sundry vegetables. You could get a bagful of them from Griff’s for a dollar. Sadly, neither of those are true anymore. In fact, recently it took a lot of dollars for just one burger. The Bride and I stopped by a snazzy new restaurant just off the Weatherford Square. It houses a car museum, including an old LBJ vehicle. You know going in that this place ain’t cheap – the prices are posted right up front. (Which sent a few din-

of the food. I had asked for no onions since they kill me. The burger looked great. I took a big bite. Now, one thing about gourmet food: Apparently actually cooking it masks the flavor. This concoction was freakishly rare. I sent it back. That’s right! I sent it back! “Chef, please let the grill actually touch the meat this time.” Lots more time passed. The Bride got up and went to look at all the groovy cars. The burger returned along with heartfelt apologies from the waitress. Once again, it looked fantastic. Checking this time for its redness, it appeared to be perfect. However, there

was an even bigger problem this time: onions. Even though they are wonderfully caramelized and are apparently organic and free-range, they are still onions, Satan’s vegetable. I spent 10 minutes picking them out. It took a while; they had melded with the cheddar cheese and bacon. Eventually, I ate that $14 burger. And it was pretty good – maybe not $14 good, but decent. But I missed some onions so it ended up being a two Gas-X burger. I miss Griff’s – $1, zero Gas-X. Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and Braum’s messed up his ice cream order that day, too.

Letter to the Editor What’s protocol when it comes to our nation’s safety? Dear Editor: About Speaker of the House John Boehner and President Obama and his administration concerning a breach in protocol with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speaking engagement: On March 15, he was there to tell the U.S. that Iran has secured an atomic bomb. A kerfuffle – without merit and disingenuous – was made that the White House did not give permission for Ne-

tanyahu to speak. If inviting our closest ally – the Prime Minister of Israel – to give advice on security measures that helps keep America safe from an apocalyptic end by a pirate nation...well, Mr. Boehner can invite the Man in the Moon for all I care. Who is Mr. Obama to lecture anyone on protocol and mandates on permission in speeches by foreign leaders, let alone the Speaker of the House? It’s on the record that Mr. Obama invited Netanyahu March 26, 2010 to the White House for talks about nuclear disarmament of Iran. Then the president snubbed Mr. Netanyahu by leaving him alone while Mr. Obama

went to eat dinner. Mr. Obama might want to educate himself on simple high school civics; both the Executive Branch and Congress have overlapping authority and are co-equals in foreign affairs. The speaker is next in line to the president if the vice-president is incapacitated. But, then again, let’s give the president some slack as he apparently failed fifth grade geography, too. As he proclaimed in 2008: Our country has 57 states. Any fifth grader can set the record straight for our president – we have 50 states. Joseph L. Bryan Fort Worth

20th century cowboy tells life story, saves wild horses

n recent years, I have written columns about the sad plight of wild horses in the West. I first learned about them in 2012 at a Western History Association convention in Denver when I heard about Velma Johnson who saw the mustangs starving and feared they would become extinct. Known as Wild Horse Annie, she lobbied for better legislation. Recently, by accident, I discovered another Westerner who has taken up the same mission. Dayton O. Hyde wrote his life story as an early 20th century cowboy on his uncle's ranch and became interested as well. Let me tell about him first before I relate his connection to the wild horses. Hyde, called Hawk by friends, ran away from his home in Marquette, Michigan at age thirteen to keep from being punished. His crime, an embarrassing one, was relieving himself from the high branches of a tree where he had been bird watching for hours, especially waiting for a robin to build a nest. Unfortunately, his mother and her bridge

THE

ladies were walking under the tree at the time and all got sprayed. (One wonders if he wasn't just pulling his readers' legs by telling this story!) Anyway, the young Hyde hopped a freight train that very day going west and ended up at an uncommunicative uncle’s ranch in Oregon. In the 1930s ranching still was performed the old way, on horseback. When time came to cut the hay for sustenance for the cattle during the winter, the uncle hired Indians from the Klamath Falls reservation as temporary help. Young Hyde, named Dayton after the uncle to whom he fled (Dayton Williams, his mother's brother), grew into a skinny 6'5" kid by the time he was 16-years-old. While young Dayton lived in the ranch house with his bachelor uncle, he sometimes stayed in the bunkhouse with the cowboys after long hours of work. During the school year, the uncle sent him off to a boarding school in California, but he came home for holidays and during summers. The ranch, called Yamsi after a mountain nearby, began to lose all

its workers as World War II approached. At age 17 Dayton was too young to join up, but he became overworked on the ranch with most of the cowboys gone. His uncle went to CaliPAGES FROM south fornia during WESTERN winter months, leaving young HISTORY Hyde to run the J’Nell L. Pate ranch with what little help he could find. He had left school by then. One recreation that youngsters in the area enjoyed was going to rodeos on weekends. His heroes were the bronc riders of the day. He tried his luck, but didn't do very well, so he began photographing rides. Hoofs and Horns, a rodeo magazine, accepted some of his photos. In 1944 Hyde joined the Signal Corps.

During his training he still had some spare time to go to rodeos, and even to ride, with his army buddies cheering him on. Later in England he served with General George Patton’s Third Army, which fought through France, Belgium, and Germany, helping set up signal communications as the army moved. When he returned to the ranch after the war, much had changed. Locals left Oregon for high-paying jobs, and some ranchers sold out. Beginning in 1947 he attended the University of California at Berkeley and visited rodeos on weekends. Continuing with photography, he met most of the famous bronc riders of the day, including a rodeo clown named Slim Pickens who later became an actor in Western movies. They became lifelong friends. Hyde gave up the rodeo to stay on the ranch in the 1950s and run it alone after buying it from his uncle before the uncle’s death. During the long winters, Hyde wrote books about the West, children's books, non-fiction, fiction, and his memoir, entitled The Pastures of Beyond.

In 1988 he saw some wild horses in a feed lot and felt sorry for them. He had first viewed some as a 14-year-old near the Yamsi Ranch. Consequently, Hyde became an advocate for the wild mustangs and has been honored with many awards for his efforts. He found an 11,000 acre piece of land in the Black Hills of South Dakota and had the Nevada horses brought there. At the time of the writing of his memoir, Hyde was running the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary and living near it in a little prairie house. The Institute of Range and the American Mustang bought the property and manages an endowment created for the sanctuary so that the wild horses will always have a permanent home. I found it gratifying that, although my interest in purchasing Hyde's book was solely to find a good story about a Western cowboy for my column, I learned of an educated man of letters and a conservationist hero, a rescuer of wild horses. 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.

Budget-writing process begins in Senate committee

n Jan. 28 the main work of the Texas Legislature started when the state budget-writing Senate Finance Committee met at the Capitol. Financial figures for the committee to use as a guide come from the 10-member Legislative Budget Board, a permanent joint committee of the House and Senate that develops budget and policy recommendations for appropriations, completes fiscal analyses for proposed legislation and conducts evaluations and reviews to improve the efficiency and performance of state and local operations. In its budget estimate, the Legislative Budget Board recommends a $205 billion state budget for the 2016-2017 fiscal biennium. The current 2014-2015 budget is estimated at $202 billion. The biggest chunks of the 2016-2017 recommended budget are $77.5

billion for education, $75 billion for health and human services and $30 billion for business and economic development. As set forth in state law, the 10-member “LBB” is cochaired by the lieutenant governor, who presides over the Senate, and the speaker of the House, and includes the chair of the Senate Finance Committee, the chair of the House Appropriations Committee; the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee; three members of the Senate appointed by the lieutenant governor; and two other members of the House appointed by the speaker. As of Feb. 1, the chairs and lists of members of House committees had not been named. Sen. Jane Nelson, the first woman in the history of the Legislature to chair a standing budget-writing committee, was appointed by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick to preside over the 15-member panel. Nelson, RGrapevine, said Senate Bill 2

would be a “responsible” budget and she encouraged c o m mittee members to voice their inSTATE dividual prioriCAPITAL ties durHIGHLIGHTS ing the Ed Sterling bwur di tgientgprocess. She also said the panel would spend a week on taxrelief bills. New governor’s work begins In the days following his inauguration on Jan. 20, Gov. Greg Abbott set right to work. On Jan. 21, “to prevent, detect and investigate fraud, abuse and waste” he named Stuart W. Bowen Jr. as inspector general for the Texas Health and Hu-

man Services Commission. On Jan. 22, he submitted to the Texas Senate for approval Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos as Secretary of State, Jerry Strickland as chief of the Office of State-Federal Relations and David Mattax for reappointment as commissioner of the Texas Department of Insurance. He also named appointees to the University of Texas System, Texas A&M University and Texas Tech University boards of regents. On Jan. 23, he set Feb. 17 as the date of special runoff elections for Senate District 26 and House Districts 17 and 123. He also traveled to Edinburg to speak and be present for the announcement of a nearly $3 million grant to the University of Texas Rio Grande Valley School of Medicine grant by United Health Foundation. The medical school is to open in 2016. On Jan. 27, he released a statement in defense of former governor Rick Perry, who

is facing felony charges related to his vetoing the budget of the state’s Public Integrity Unit when the head of the unit ignored his demand for her resignation after she had been arrested for drunken driving. Abbott said, “The Texas governor is endowed by our constitution with the authority to veto legislation, and it is outrageous and inappropriate that a governor would be prosecuted for exercising that authority.” On Jan. 28, in a letter to all state agency heads, he called for higher standards in the state’s contracting and procurement process, including specific reforms aimed at restoring the public trust in the contracting process. This comes in the wake of a series of investigative stories by the Austin American-Statesman detailing a multi-million dollar no-bid contract between the Health and Human Services Commission and an information technology security firm.

On Jan. 29, he proposed to eliminate the Texas Emerging Technology Fund and establish the New University Research Initiative “to make meaningful and effective investments in job creation.” Correction / Clarification In this column last week, I erroneously reported Sen. Craig Estes, R-Wichita Falls, as having voted against a proposed Senate rule change in floor procedure, allowing a threefifths majority of the 31-member body (19 senators) to bring a bill to the floor for debate, rather than the traditional twothirds, or 21 senators. Estes was present but did not vote on the rule change. I regret the error. The rule change was adopted on a vote of 20-10. Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

Letter Islam Stock Show prayer just more P.C. It is maddening to see that venerable institution – the Fort Worth Stock Show – fall into the snare of political correctness. Allow an Iman to offer a prayer before the rodeo is like opening Pandora’s box. “Playing nice” with Islam never kept anybody from being beheaded once the terrorists took over. They even murder other Muslims who don’t agree with them. The benevolent intentions of those who are “inclusive” doesn’t mean anything to the beheaders. Escaping political correctness such as this is one of the reasons my husband and I moved from Fort Worth to the country. Edith Hoad Weatherford

Azle wrestlers ready for district tournament at Chisholm Trail by mark k. campbell Even with young squads, Azle High School wrestling coach Chris Allen thinks his athletes will shine at the district meet. That event is set for Saturday, Feb. 7 at 10 a.m. at Chisholm Trail High School. Allen said the coaches’ goals are simple – win the 5-5A team championships. Seven Lady Hornets will represent the girls team. Allen said a trio of girls have legitimate shots at individual titles. Veteran Ruby Ariosa (112 pounds), Hali Davis (110), and Lauren Dale (138) can win district crowns “if they wrestle to their abilities,” Allen said. He added, “I am looking for big things from freshman Hollie Taylor and Alexis Hanna. “I would like to see them place and compete at regionals.” Lady Hornet Ruby Ariosa (top) is a favorite to win her A Hornet will fill all 14 weight class at the district tournament at Saginaw Chweight classes at district. isholm Trail Saturday, Feb. 7. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

Not only does Allen hope to see Azle’s boys come away as team champions, the coach said he thinks as many as 12 Hornets could move on to the regional event in Frisco Feb. 13. Five seniors should advance, Allen said: Jimmy Fager (113), Colten Clearwater (152), Tyler Stewart (170), Marshall Gilbreath (195), and Justin Scarbro (285). “We are pretty young minus the seniors,” Allen said. “But due to their experience, there is no reason they cannot compete for individual titles as well.” With upper classman Hayden Buchanan (138), Coach Allen said he expected “big things” from underclassmen James Conrique (126), Skylar Russell (132), Cody Donnell (160), and Seth Bell (182). Two rookie freshmen could also help reach that team title: Ty Parker and Shawn Joseph, Allen said. State returns to its current site in Garland Feb. 20.

Azle hoops ladies close to clinching postseason berth One win in final 3 games will lock down 2nd place out of District 5-5A

by mark k. campbell The playoffs are looming for the Lady Hornet basketball team. Azle (22-3, 9-2) kept its No. 16 ranking in the Texas Association of Basketball Coaches poll after beating two more 5-5A foes. AHS took down Wichita Falls and Chisholm Trail – two teams desperately scrambling for the remaining postseason berths. At home against Old High Jan. 27, the Lady Hornets built a 26-18 halftime lead and went on to win 45-33. Taylor Fulfer led with 13 points; Payton Berger added 10 and Valarie Matlock netted 8 points. Kylee Browne’s 7 rebounds was tops as was 5 assists by Kaycie Dunkerley. Three days later, Azle faced Chisholm Trail in Saginaw. With three impressive quarters – 19, 15, and 20 – and a defense that limited Lady Rangers scoring, AHS won easily 56-26. Three players reached double digits for Azle: Matlock (15), Berger (12), and Dunkerley (11). Makeni Bossert added 9 points and tied in rebounds with Matlock with 6. Chisholm Trail did not reach double digits in scoring until the third quarter. Azle hosted Denton Feb. 3 (score not available at press time). After a trip to White Settlement to face Brewer Feb. 6, the regular season ends with a bang when, on Senior Night, the Lady Hornets tangle with the likely 5-5A champion Wichita Falls Rider Feb. 10.

Soccer boys still undefeated Lady Hornets split district openers Even with a pair of top players out – one for the season – the Azle High School boys soccer team remained undefeated and is in control of the district race early. Azle (10-0, 2-0) swept Boswell and Saginaw in District 5-5A action. The Lady Hornets, meanwhile, began the crucial matches 1-1. The boys, without standout Dylan Tritton who is out for the season with a torn ACL, crushed Boswell 4-0 and Saginaw 3-0. At the Pioneer pitch, Azle got two scores and an assist from Josa Gomez. Pepe Ballesteros also booted a pair of balls past the Boswell keeper. Javier Mejia was credited Hornet Josa Gomez (7) watches a header sail toward a with two assists and Nathan keeper.

Hornet goal tender Austin McCash continued his remarkable season with two more shutouts. At home against Saginaw Jan. 30, Alex Quevedo, Javier Mejia, and Gomez scored. Ballesteros got an assist. Coach Ben Buentello said moving forward without two top players – another has a substantial concussion – is testy. “But we are doing our best, and the others are rising to the occasion,” the coach said. The Lady Hornets beat Boswell 1-0 thanks to an “unbelievable” second half, coach Jason Beck said. With less than 4 minutes left, Paige Freeman scored off a Meagan McNew corner kick. “The team stayed strong,” A corner kick by Azle’s Meagan McNew (15) led to the Beck said. only goal in AHS’ 1-0 victory over Boswell in the Disrrict Saginaw topped AHS 2-0. 5-5A opener at home.

The game was within reach at halftime; Old High led just 27-22. Shooting woes again troubled the Hornets as Azle shot just 28 percent from the field and 12 from beyond the arc. Trevor Boiles’ 12 points led the way for AHS. Bowen Moyer added 8 and his 7 rebounds was team-high. Brandon Martinez scored 6 points while Jamie King netted 5 to begin the second round of

This time, AHS coach Eddy Prather said, the Rangers “got a little revenge.” At the CHHS gym, the hosts beat the Hornets 80-42. King rose to the occasion for Azle, scoring a team-high 17 points, making 7 of AHS’ 13 successful free throws. He also led the squad with 4 blocks and 6 rebounds. Moyer netted 7 and Boiles 5 points.

Race, parental rights, addiction movie struggles

About the film Once upon a time, there was not greater movie star than Kevin Costner. The 66 year old – playing a grandfather for the first time in Black or White – has a terrific resume. For sure, The Untouchables (1987), No Way Out (1987), Field of Dreams (1989), and JFK (1991) are fantastic movies. And, no matter what film snobs say, Dances With Wolves (1990) is, too. (Whenever a list is made of movies that won Best Picture Oscars – robbing another “more deserving” movie – Dances With Wolves pops up. It beat out Goodfellas which is an admitted classic, but the Movie Man is just fine with Dances With Wolves. Costner also beat out Goodfellas director Martin Scorsese which some [not the Movie Man] consider an even greater horror.) However, Costner has been in a huge series of movies lately that few people are seeing. Only true fans have paid for Play it to the Bone (1999), 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001), Mr. Brooks (2007), or last year’s 3 Days to Kill and Draft Day. That’s not to say he hasn’t earned some acclaim recently, even if it’s not as stratospheric as a few decades ago. He was lauded for the TV mini-series Hatfields & McCoys (2012), and the Movie Man thought he had the “Best scene” in the 2013 Superman reboot Man of Steel (Movie Man No. 1040, a 7). The Movie Man is not a Costner hata – in fact, it’s the opposite. Still, the last picture the Movie Man saw with Cost-

ner – excluding small or cameo parts – was way back in 2003, Open Range (MM #521, 7). Today, Costner is getting good reviews, deservedly, for Black or White. The plot Elliot (Costner) has had some tough times. His daughter died in childbirth and now his wife has been killed in an auto accident. The only thing he has left is a granddaughter, Eloise (Texan Jillian Estell). She’s mixed race. The mother of Eloise’s drug-addled father, Rowena (Octavia Spencer), wants to see her granddaughter more often. Elliot isn’t crazy about that. Rowena’s brother, Jeremiah (Anthony Mackie) is a lawyer – so is Elliot – and Jeremiah sues Elliot for full custody of Eloise for Rowena. There are problems on both sides. Elliot is a heavy drinker. Rowena blindly believes her drug addicted son Reggie (Andre Holland) is now clean and ready to be a father to Eloise. While Elliot tries to sober up – learning a new language in lieu of drinking thanks to Eloise’s tutor Duvan (Mpho Koaho) – Holland gets coaching to make him look like a relatively decent human being.

Best scene Elliot is on the stand. He makes an impassioned plea, especially addressing if he’s used the N-word referring to Reggie. (Elliot has.) He tries to express that he could care less that Reggie is black; the problem is that he’s a druggie who should not be around the little girl. It’s a potent scene that tries to get past the race issue by addressing it – and it illustrates how hard it is to escape from racial stereotyping.

Penned with love BY NATALIE GENTRY Azle’s Jennifer Simmons never pictured herself as an author. Although she has always enjoyed reading, she never dreamed of penning the Great American Novel. A story to tell The need to create her book, Blessed at Bedtime, crept up on her after her son, Zane, was sixmonths-old. “[Zane] would curl up in my lap each night so I could read to him,” Simmons said. “We tend to read at least three books every night, and I began to notice that a lot of the books only had one parent in them.” “There would be one parent giraffe and the baby,” she continued. “My son started to point to the page and ask ‘Mama or Daddy,’ and I would answer that I didn’t know.” Simmons began to question why both parents couldn’t be present. Then, as she read to Zane one evening, the inspiration struck. “I had this idea for the book, so I simply sat down and wrote it,” Simmons said. “The line rhymed and everything.” However, instead of pursuing publication, Simmons put Blessed at Bedtime away. “For a year and a half I sat on

Simmons took to YouTube to discuss her motivation for the book and to read the story. it,” she said. Then one evening I was reading to Zane again and I just felt like the Lord was telling me to just go ahead and do this...and so I did.”

She also noted that traditional publishing can take a long time – often from 12 weeks to 18 months just for a response to a query letter. “I decided just to go ahead and do it myself,” Simmons said. “Then I paid a professional illustrator to create the pictures the way I wanted. “Once I decided to do it, it was finished in about three months. It was a process, but it was really enjoyable the whole way through.”

A journey worth taking Simmons said that once she decided to try publishing the book she ultimately chose to self-publish. “I wanted this entire book to be my creation,” she said. “When a person publishes through one of the mainstream publishing houses, they lose a A work from the heart lot of control over the book.” Simmons’ motivation

for

Local author’s children’s book highlights familial bonds

writing Blessed at Bedtime was the fact she wanted to highlight the bond between a mother and father as well as the comfort this relationship can provide children. “It’s a Christian niche bedtime book, so there is a smaller target crowd,” Simmons said. “I wanted to write a children’s book that focused on the strength in the parents’ relationship.” Simmons’ husband Nathan attests to her dedication to not just their family, but all families. “She wrote this book from her heart,” Nathan said. “It’s a way for her to give back to the community and to maybe give other families a tool.” Simmons has taken to YouTube – a true 21st century platform – to discuss the story and the other elements of the book. In addition to the tale, Blessed at Bedtime provides families with a children’s bedtime prayer and four promise scriptures. These provide children with the comfort of the promise of protection, God’s love, God’s purpose for the children, and a peaceful night’s sleep. “My heart’s desire is that [Blessed at Bedtime] not only speaks total peace, love, and safety for your children,” Sim-

mons says in her video. “But that [parents] would also feel that same peace, love, and safety while they read it with them.” Simmons said she has another story planned, but that she wants to see the reaction to her first book before she proceeds. Blessed at Bedtime was re-

leased Jan. 12 through AuthorHouse publishing and is available through their website as well as via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and IndieBound online book sellers. “Let all you do be done with love.” -1 Corinthians 16:14

P.O. Box 557 • Springtown, Texas, 76082

Shoreline Drive home burns by carla noah stutsman Fire destroyed a vacant home in the 200 block of Shoreline Drive South in the early morning hours of Monday, Feb. 10. A neighbor called 911 at 12:12 a.m. to report the fire, and the first truck arrived eight minutes later, Azle Fire Chief Will Scott said. “The original call said it was unknown if there were any occupants in the house, but we were able to determine later that no one was inside at the time of the fire,” Scott said. It’s a good thing. When firefighters arrived, the home was fully involved with heavy fire, so their only option was to set up a defensive attack. It turns out recent occupants of the home had been asked to move out by the home’s owners. Fire Marshal Kenny Wilson said those occupants had been gone little more than a week. Firefighters from Lake Worth FD, Eagle Mountain VFD and LaJunta VFD answered the call to assist with manpower and apparatus. Azle Fire Department utilized its engine, ambulance, and rescue trucks

as well as their crews. Parker County’s LifeCare Medic 3 stood by to provide for any medical needs, and Parker County Emergency Services District 1 Chief Eric Vinson also answered the call. Scott, Wilson, and Azle Emergency Services Administrator, Eddy Wood rounded out the command team. Scott said firefighters battled the fire in 34-degree temperatures with 5-10 mile-per-hour winds and a steady mist falling. The fire was under control at 1:33 a.m. and firefighters cleared the scene at 4:14 a.m., Scott said. Wilson and a team of fire investigators continue to look into the cause of the fire, but on Feb. 11, he said it appears to be electrical in nature. “We see some evidence that someone had ‘jumped’ the electrical service at the home, possibly in an effort to steal electricity (by bypassing the meter),” Wilson said. “We’re still investigating, but right now, it looks like that’s going to be the cause.” Wilson said the home is a total loss and estimated the damages to be about $70,000.

Four people were taken to texas health azle with non-life-threatening injuries following a rear-end collision in the 11600 block of Fm 730 north Feb. 4. the crash occurred about 7 p.m. when michael s. Fields, 52, of azle, drove a white 1988 Ford F150 into the rear of a red 2009 saturn outlook driven by misty D. Dale also of azle. Dale, with three juvenile passengers, was stopped with her left turn signal on, waiting to turn left into a parking lot when she was struck from behind. the impact pushed Dale’s vehicle onto the west shoulder of the roadway. Fields’ vehicle veered to the right (east) into the parking lot of a convenience store, where it struck the gas island. Fields was arrested at the scene for driving while intoxicated; however, he was released to medical personnel who transported him to the hospital and a warrant will be issued for his arrest at a later date. Dale and two of the juveniles in her vehicle were treated and released from the hospital, according to the police report. Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman

SMU quake study ongoing

817-270-3340 123 = $870K Transfer students mean big money for AISD

Results could be years in coming

by carla noah stutsman Even though it’s now been three weeks since the U.S. Geological Society (USGS) has reported an earthquake in the Azle/Reno area, researchers from Southern Methodist University (SMU) say seismic activity continues here. Heather DeShon, associate professor of geophysics at SMU and the lead researcher on the Azle area study says a network of sensors has detected numerous small quakes – too small to report to USGS. Still, that seismic activity provides data for the study and can be useful to scientists trying to determine whether there’s a link between the recent swarm of 30-plus earthquakes in the area and the wastewater injection wells located nearby, DeShon said. The only catch is that it could be a year or even two before researchers collect enough data, decipher it, and publish the findings. The SMU research team unveiled a website containing information about the study which can be viewed at http://smu.edu/smunews/earthquakestudy/study-faqs.asp#top. The main page text is the summary of the goals for the research, and the FAQs provide answers to individual questions. The SMU website provides links to the U.S. Geological Survey Earthquake Education web page and the Texas Earthquakes web page supported by the University of Texas at Austin. Additionally, SMU has purchased an Incorporated Research Institutions

Azle

817-220-7217 Last year, the Azle Independent School District’s (AISD) Board of Trustees voted to allow open enrollment – a policy that allows students who live outside the district’s boundaries to enroll in AISD schools. It’s a policy that has already paid off in a big way, according to Superintendent Dr. Ray Lea. Students wishing to attend AISD schools must meet strict academic, disciplinary and attendance criteria in order to qualify, and are only accepted on a space-available basis. Currently, 123 out-of-district transfer students attend AISD schools. These students generate an additional $870,000 in state funding for the district. This boost in funding has been used to purchase technology throughout the district. In the very near future, Lea said,

Azle ISD will provide an iPad for every student in grades pre-kindergarten through 12. The district already provides iPads to all students in grades 7-12. Azle will be one of the first districts in Texas to reach this one-to-one iPad goal. The additional state funding from student transfers went a long way to reach this goal, Lea said. “All these transfer students actually reside in other school attendance zones, yet their parents choose to transport them to Azle ISD because of a reputation of outstanding teachers and caring staff members,” Lea said. “Parents have cited their preference for a school with exemplary academics and technology as reasons for choosing Azle.” Azle ISD continues to receive requests to transfer from parents, Lea added.

Pursuit of man nets 5 arrests: PCSO, FAST officers link quintet to local burglaries, thefts by carla noah stutsman An eight-mile pursuit Thursday evening, Jan. 29 that reached speeds of 80 miles-per-hour in a residential area near Springtown didn’t turn out so well for the guy running from Parker County Sheriff’s deputies. Actually, several of his friends didn’t like it much, either. Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said members of the Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (FAST) attempted to serve a warrant at a house on Oak Meadows Drive about 5 p.m. The subject of that warrant was Samuel Burtis Cox, 37, of Springtown. Cox was known to frequent the residence. While FAST members were at the house, Cox drove by but immediately fled from deputies, who pursued him down Hilltop Meadows to Cactus View Drive, to Summit Ridge,

then Highland Circle. After briefly traveling onto East Highway 199, Cox reached speeds up to 80 miles-per-hour near the intersection of Harms and Springfield Roads, Fowler said. That’s where the pickup Cox was driving left the roadway, crashing through at least five fences on eight separate properties. The pursuit ended when Cox wrecked the vehicle, which landed in a horse arena behind a residence on Garden Court. Somehow, Cox still thought he could get away. He continued fleeing on foot from the crash site, and deputies observed him throw a baggie of suspected methamphetamine into a horse trough. FAST members apprehended Cox within 100 yards of the pickup from which he fled.

Sheriff’s investigators searched the residence on Oak Meadows Drive where the pursuit began, discovering additional smaller amounts of narcotics and a large amount of suspected stolen property inside the home. Four additional suspects were arrested at the scene including two occupants of the

home identified as Othe Leonard Wallis, 46, and Karri Lyn Tandle-Ludington, 29. Joy Lynn Johnson, 44, apparently a neighbor on Oak Meadows, was also arrested on scene along with David Anthony Headspeth, 32, of Poolville. Sheriff’s investigators spent several hours seizing and log-

ging the suspected stolen property into evidence, including copper wiring, power and hand tools, electronics, coins, silverware, chargers, light fixtures, and clothing accessories. Fowler said Sheriff’s investigators anticipate clearing several local cases of theft and burglary as a result of the items recovered. He also said Cox’s reckless actions had the potential to cause serious damage. “Luckily, no one was injured as a result of the pursuit,” Fowler said. “The suspect came dangerously close to several barns and residences, showing no regard for life or property.” Cox was arrested on a local theft warrant and two out-

of-county theft warrants. He faces additional charges of evading arrest or detention, narcotics and other charges. Headspeth was arrested on a local warrant for obstructing a highway or passageway. Wallis, Johnson and TandleLudington were each charged with possession of a controlled substance. Additional charges against all five individuals are pending the ongoing investigation.
