Snow, ice mess up sports schedules Page 8A

Whizzing in a winter wonderland!

The weatherman got it right Feb. 27 when 2 to 4 inches of snow fell in the area. School was postponed again and local folks poured outside to enjoy the precipitation – like this sledder at Shady Grove Park. And finding a picnic table at the park was no problem, either.

Weather slowing AISD construction by mark k. campbell Students and teachers aren’t the only ones who get days off when a bad weather day is declared.

Ice and snow has hampered the erection of the two new buildings going up at Azle High School – the competition gym and the CATE, the Career and Technology

Education building.

AISD Director of District Operations Todd Smith said that because workers are toiling on masonry or concrete work at this stage of construction, that cold weather puts some of those workers at ease, too.

“The below freezing temperatures have im-

pacted this trade of work,” Smith said.

While the project might have been ahead of schedule, that’s unlikely now, he added.

“Whatever days they gained with nice weather they have probably lost, especially with a cold front blowing in [March 4],” Smith noted.

However, work is never completely idled on

the gym and CATE, he said.

“I do know they have had guys working when they can and doing what can be done at this stage of construction with below freezing temperatures,” Smith noted.

Both projects remain on pace to open at the beginning of the next school year, in August.

Snow hangs around the CATE – Career and Technology Education – building going up on the west side of the Azle High School campus; another round of icy precipitation was predicted for March 4.

Burglary conviction upheld on appeal

Area launches social media campaign to help find missing teen

Guilty verdict, 18-year sentence stand by carla noah stutsman The conviction for burglary and resulting 18-year sentence of an Azle man by a Parker County jury has been upheld by the Texas Second Court of Appeals.

Jerry Shad Robbins, 53, was convicted and sentenced on June 11, 2014 for the second-degree felony in the 43rd District Court in Weatherford.

Robbins appealed the court ruling the same day, and the appellate court issued its opinion affirming the trial court’s judgment on Feb. 26.

According to information contained within that opinion, Robbins was stopped by Azle police on March 1, 2013 as he left the scene of a reported burglary in progress in the 600 block of Sunset Drive.

Robbins matched the description of a man the victim – who was inside her home at the time – said used a fence

post driver to attempt to get inside the home.

Robbins was also driving a pickup matching the description given to police dispatchers by the victim.

Former Azle police officer Zach Graves arrived on Sunset Drive – a dead-end street – within three minutes of the victim’s 911 call and immediately spotted Robbins’ pickup driving away from the victim’s house.

Graves stopped Robbins’ vehicle about 200 yards from the house just as Officers Richard Lukowsky and Eric Scheid arrived at the scene.

Graves performed a computer check of Robbins’ driver’s license, which revealed an arrest warrant for burglary of a habitation in Tarrant County.

Meanwhile, Lukowsky looked into the bed of Robbins’ pickup and noticed a fence post driver in plain view.

ballot were received on the last day to file, Feb. 27; however, both applications were rejected as incomplete, leaving the incumbents unopposed.

Mayor Alan Brundrett, Mayor Pro Tem Bill Jones in Place 3, Paul Crabtree in Place 4, and Lee Barrett in Place 6 will each retain their seats on the council.

Town of Lakeside Lakeside, too, is expected to cancel its May election, with incumbents Mayor Pat Jacob, Amy Robinson in Place 4, and Bill Mohr in Place 5 all running unopposed.

City of Pelican Bay In the city of Pelican Bay, only one race – Place 4 – is contested with incumbent Glen Oberg facing a challenge from Carroll French.

Incumbent Sabra Swaim is running unopposed for Place 3, while a newcomer to Bay politics, Ruth Burch, is the sole seeker of Place 5.

City of Reno The incumbent in Place 4, Eric Hunter is running unopposed.

But two other races have heated up considerably with a three-way race for the mayor’s seat and a four-way race for Place 2.

Incumbent Mayor Lynda Stokes is facing two opponents in her bid for re-election.

David Andrews, whose term in Place 2 is expiring, has filed to run against Stokes for the

mayor’s seat, as has longtime resident Gilbert Morrow.

That leaves Place 2 wide open and Darrel Allen, John “JB” Basham, Carol Houlihan, and Jody W. Works have all filed to run to replace Andrews in that seat.

A proposition to adopt an additional sales and use tax – which was on the ballot in November and passed – was filed in error and has been placed on the ballot again, this time at a higher rate than before.

According to newly-hired City Secretary Ramah Burns, former staff failed to get an existing quarter-cent sales and use tax for the purpose of road maintenance on the ballot to be renewed prior to its expiration in October 2013.

Once the error was realized, the city called for an election on the proposition for the November 2014 election, and Reno voters approved it.

However, the Texas Comptroller’s Office notified the city it could not implement the quarter-cent road maintenance and repair tax because it had been called in August 2014.

By law, because the tax lapsed without being renewed, the city should have waited a full year to propose a new tax.

Because the election was called in August instead of November, the tax was never implemented, and Reno businesses continue to collect sales and use tax at a rate of 7.75 percent.

In the meantime – and while assuming the city’s sales and use tax rate was at 8 percent

– the city council was already considering another quartercent increase to the sales and use tax rate to reduce property taxes.

They’ve decided to take advantage of the “do over” by proposing a one-half cent sales and use tax rate increase to reduce property taxes.

If voters approve the measure, it would mean that shoppers, regardless of where they live, would pay the additional half a penny on purchases they make within Reno, and revenue raised by that increase will go to reduce the property tax burden on property owners.

If the measure is approved by voters, the sales and use tax rate in Reno will increase from 7.75 percent to 8.25 percent – the maximum allowed by law – effective Oct. 1.

City of Sanctuary Places 1 and 3 on the Sanctuary City Council are up for election; however, according to City Secretary Chris Stewart, no one filed to run for either seat within the allotted time.

The News is investigating the city’s options for filling the seats and will report on that next week.

Early voting Although it likely won’t concern voters in Azle, Lakeside or the AISD, early voting is slated to begin April 27 and run through May 5 in advance of the May 9 general election.

18-year sentence stands n 18, FROM PAGE ONE.

Robbins was arrested, and when the Azle officers searched his pickup, they found a club, an axe, a hat with fake hair attached, two pairs of black gloves, a police scanner, a door knob with related assembly materials, six license plates, a pair of handcuffs, a stun gun, three garage door openers and various bullets.

Robbins’ appeal made four objections to the court judgment.

First, he claimed the Azle officers did not have probable cause or a warrant to search his pickup and that incriminating evidence found as a result of that search should have been suppressed.

Robbins secondly complained the trial court abused its discretion by admitting extraneous evidence.

Third, Robbins argued there was insufficient evidence that he “made entry” into the victim’s residence, a necessary finding for a charge of burglary.

Finally, Robbins objected to a statement by a prosecutor about Robbins’ failure to explain why he knocked down the victim’s door.

Robbins argued the statement violated his state and federal constitutional privileges Jerry Shad Robbins against self-incrimination.

Each of Robbins’ four objections was overruled by the appellate court and his conviction and sentence were affirmed.

Before noon, they received a phone call stating Montes was absent from school.

That’s when the family reported her missing.

Starting as early as Feb. 27 – four days before the official statement was sent to media

outlets – Montes’ photo and requests for help began circulating on Facebook.

Local businesses, groups, and individuals joined the campaign to spread the news.

A quick search of Facebook revealed that information about Montes’ disappearance had been shared more than 4,774 times.

While most posts acknowledged “shares” in surround-

ing communities such as Boyd, Azle, Jacksboro, and Fort Worth, comments also indicated that the news had been disseminated as far away as Indiana and Colorado.

According to Capt. Mark Arnett of the Parker County Sheriff’s Office, within an hour of the official release of information on March 3 Montes was located unharmed.

Fowler lauded by Humane Society In the midst of a late season snow storm, Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler was presented the 2014 Humane Law Enforcement Award for his continuing efforts to pursue animal cruelty cases by The Humane Society of the United States (HSUS).

The HSUS presented the award to Fowler Friday, Feb. 27.

The HSUS cited Fowler’s ongoing efforts in animal abuse cases, including a 2010 cockfighting ring which was disbanded, resulting in the seizure of 118 birds and nearly 200 arrests.

In 2014, Fowler oversaw an animal cruelty investigation in which a mother dog had been shot and her newborn puppies abandoned on the side of the road. Within 72 hours, the perpetrator was arrested and charged with animal cruelty.

Earlier this year, Fowler and his animal control division

Azle PD Chief

sought justice for an abused pony whose owner was arrested on livestock cruelty charges after he left the pony wandering and severely injured.

HSUS Texas State Director Katie Jarl said the organization was delighted to present Fowler with the award.

“His passion and dedication to public service in Parker County truly extends to all creatures,” Jarl said. “Addressing animal crimes is an important step in keeping a community safe for all residents – man, woman, child and animal.

“We applaud Sheriff Larry Fowler for his public service here in Parker County and look forward to working with him and his office in the future.”

Fowler said he was honored to receive the award.

“We are greatly blessed to have an excellent animal control staff,” Sheriff Fowler said. “Animal neglect and cruelty investigations take high priority with our agency.”

Fowler added the policies he has adopted ensure all animal investigations receive the due attention required.

“We are fortunate to have a county judge and commissioner’s court who recognize the need for adequate funding which allows us to thoroughly investigate all animal cruelty and neglect cases,” Fowler said.

Sheriff Larry Fowler received the 2014 Humane Law Enforcement Award Feb. 27, from Katie Jarl, Humane Society of the United States Texas State Director.

If a warrant has been issued for your arrest – or if you have delinquent traffic, misdemeanor or parking citations – well, that’s bad.

But if they were issued by the Azle Police Department – well, that’s good.

It’s good because the Azle PD is one of 314 law enforcement agencies and courts across the state participating in the 2015 Great Texas Warrant Roundup slated for Saturday, March 7.

The Roundup targets thousands of defendants with traffic, parking, city ordinance, penal code and higher charge warrants from participating jurisdictions.

It’s believed to be the largest joint operation of its kind with arrests expected

to continue for several days.

Thousands of notices were recently mailed statewide by participating entities.

Texas allows for a grace period before the Warrant Roundup strikes.

Violators may come forward before March 7 to pay their fines without further penalties.

But, once the roundup starts, you can be arrested at any time or any place – including your home, at work, or school.

There are multiple ways to pay your fines: • via the Azle Municipal Court’s web page at www.cityofazle.org/index. aspx?NID=100.

• by phone with a credit card at 1-800444-1187. Contact Azle Municipal Court

at 817-444-7149 in order to get specific citation information needed to pay fines over the phone.

• in person at the court office at Azle City Hall, 613 Southeast Parkway, Monday-Friday between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m.

The Azle Municipal Court will also be open on Saturday, March 7.

If you can’t afford to pay your warrants, contact the court office to see if other options may be available.

You will not be arrested if you voluntarily come to court before March 7.

In 2014, the Great Texas Warrant Roundup cleared 132,326 warrants and was responsible for collecting $20,272,522 in fines for participating entities.

Memorable hoops year ends in Tech loss by mark k. campbell The Lady Hornets’ basketball game against Fort Worth Trimble Tech got away from AHS early and eventually ended Azle’s season.

At Haltom High School Feb.

quarterfinals.

Azle had advanced to the third round of the 5A UIL playoff bracket for the first time in decades.

But Tech proved to be too much for the second year in a row.

AHS coach Mitzi Marquart, while disappointed, lauded her 2014-15 squad.

“This season was very exciting and enjoyable,” she said. “I feel the success of these young ladies was due to hard work and dedication.

“They started the season on a mission and having won two tournaments and going three rounds deep in the playoffs shows their commitment.”

At the Haltom gym, Valarie Matlock led Azle scorers with 15 points.

Kylee Browne added nine while Taylor Fulfer scored 8.

Rounding out Azle’s scoring were Payton Berger with 6 and Kaycie Dunkerley with 5 points.

Trimble Tech’s season ended where it did last season – against Canyon in the regional finals.

About Azle, Coach Marquart said, “I am extremely happy for Payton Berger (right) works inside against a Lady Bull- our young ladies and proud of Lady Hornet Taylor Fulfer races a Fort Worth Trimble Tech player for a loose ball durdog at the Haltom High gym. ing Azle’s regional quarterfinals clash.

Lifters power up to next level by mark k. campbell The weather was poor and cold outside, but the Azle High School indoor facility enjoyed warm temperatures – thanks, in part, to being filled by some of the strongest teenagers around.

Azle hosted the district powerlifting meet and four Hornets excelled, earning berths at the regional meet.

That event is set for Everman High School March 7.

The standout Hornets: Dakota Hutson, Chase Smith, Justin Scarbro, and Jacob Lance.

Competitors lifted three different stations – deadlift, bench press, and squat – with the totals added.

Smith, in the 165-pound class, won with a total of 1,105 pounds.

Hutson, 123 pound class, finished third with 775 pounds.

In the super heavyweight division, Lance was third with 1,400 pounds.

Scarbro (242) benched 400 pounds, the second highest at the meet.

Also competing for Azle were Ryan Randall, Jacob Tallant, Jordan McNeeley, Hunter Pettis, Ruben Perez, Drew Smith, Kade Griffin, and Chase Slack.

As a team the Hornets finished third out of 11 squads, with 26 points.

Hornets moving on to the regional powerlifting event in Everman include Chase Smith (far left), Jacob Lance (below left), and, fresh off his gold-medal effort at the state wrestling meet, Justin Scarbro (below). Coach Devon Dorris (above left) feels his athletes’ pain during a lift.

Six Lady Hornets named to elite All-District basketball roster by mark k. campbell An impressive season translates to postseason honors and that’s what has happened for the basketball Lady Hornets.

Six different athletes were named to the District 5-5A AllDistrict list.

Leading the way was senior Valarie Matlock. The versatile athlete earned a “superlative” – a unique MVP honor.

Matlock, who will play in the 26th Annual Chicken Express All-Star Basketball Classic in

Mineral Wells March 21, was selected as the district’s Defensive MVP. She stole 50 balls during district play and deflected 72 more. Matlock grabbed 101 rebounds and had 10 against Saginaw Jan. 23.

She was no slouch offensively, either, scoring 151 points. Her district high was 18 against Saginaw in the second 5-5A game. Matlock compiled an impressive 56 assists during district action.

Three Lady Hornets landed on the First Team.

Senior Taylor Fulfer scored 137 points in 14 district games.

Her top point tally came against Boswell Jan. 20 when she poured in 19.

Fulfer scored in double digits in 8 of AHS’ 14 5-5A games.

Junior Payton Berger impressed with her inside play.

She scored 175 points in district, reaching double digits in the final 8 district games.

Her top point total came Jan.

16 against Wichita Falls Rider, with 19.

She grabbed 109 rebounds, 5 times reaching double digits.

Berger also blocked 7 balls in 5-5A play.

Dunkerley hit for 108 points and passed out 39 assists.

She scored 16 points against Saginaw Dec. 19 and 15 versus Chisholm Trail on Jan. 6.

The junior finished the year with 46 rebounds.

Makenzi Bossert and Kylee Browne were named to the Second Team.

Bossert, a senior, finished district play with 51 rebounds and 39 points.

She had 9 rebounds and 8 points in the regular season finale – Senior Night – against state-ranked Rider.

Browne scored 36 points during 14 district clashes – and had 16 in three playoff games – as well as 54 boards in 5-5A. Her top game was Jan. 6 when she scored 7 points and had 7 rebounds against Chisholm Trail.

Who knew so many people hated squirrels?

WARNING! If you love all animals, you’d probably better skip this column. If you’re a “circle of life” kind of person, continue. If you are among the apparently ten million people that hate squirrels, then definitely keep on reading.

T

he snow fell for hours.

I finally headed outside to shoot the traditional newspaper picture of a bright red cardinal flying in the swirling snow.

But as I stepped into the yard, there sat this snow-dusted squirrel – not bothered one iota by the frozen precipitation – placidly munching away on one of the ten million acorns that fell a few months ago.

What a lovely picture! It’s the first squirrel I’d ever seen on the property in two decades. I saw six wild pigs

the other day and have seen and heard scores of coyotes through the years, but zero squirrels.

So, I snapped several photos then posted this one on the paper’s Facebook page. Many folks expressed their delight of the whimsical winter wonder.

Little did any of us know that this would be the last photo ever taken of this squirrel.

Two days later, the driveway snow was covered with a slippery sheen of ice. Looking out the window, I spied one of the local feral cats deftly negotiating the drive – with this squirrel firmly locked in its mouth.

It was quite a shock; the cat was barely bigger than the squirrel. But the former had a death grip on the latter.

Since this squirrel was close to being immortalized in the paper, I felt I had to take some measures to save it.

The Bride got out the door first,

ON YOUR MARK Squirrel

however, shouting at the cat to let the poor squirrel go. By the time I got out there, that had occurred: The cat leapt up onto a nearby small outcropping while, below, the poor squirrel spun around in circles on the ground like Curly in the Three Stooges.

We decided to let nature take its course. Cats gotta eat, too. When the entire world is covered up with snow, you take what you can get...or capture.

I posted the squirrel’s demise on my personal Facebook page and quickly discovered that plenty of people don’t like squirrels.

Some folks commented in a manner that was straight-up squirrel racist, calling them “rodents” and “wily tree rats.”

Personally, I’m squirrel neutral.

They are cute and chipper. But then again, I’ve never had one jabbering around in my attic at 3 a.m., either.

I understand the cat’s desire to eat squirrel. I consumed it more than once back in my fire hall days. Hillbillies and firefighters will eat anything.

The Bride and I hold no ill will toward the cat. That same feline keeps our yard rat- and snake-free throughout the other seasons. The Bride, especially, would rather sacrifice a squirrel to the cat if that keeps any sort of slithering creature from entering the yard (or our dishwasher as has happened... twice).

So, Godspeed little squirrel! I hope you’re having fun up in squirrel heaven where acorns abound – even though there’s no way there are more acorns there than in our yard.

Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and was going to make this a “Story behind the photo” piece in the Community section of the paper, but it just seemed weird to put a squirrel on the same page as a story about the area’s skilled teachers.

Lasting fame came for Overland Stage’s John Butterfield

I

n our modern world where we can know almost instantaneously what is taking place on the other side of the planet, it is difficult to remember that barely 150 years ago people got excited that a letter could leave the middle part of the U.S. (St. Louis) and be in San Francisco in 23 days!

The method of this great accomplishment officially was the Overland Mail. However, since John W. Butterfield won the government contract to supply the stagecoaches, relay stations, and drivers, the endeavor commonly became known as the Butterfield Stage.

John Butterfield was born in 1801 on a farm near Berne, Albany County, New York. At age 19 he traveled to Albany, and got a job as a driver with a local stagecoach company. The enterprising young man saved money and bought a horse and two-seated chaise, starting his own livery business.

In 1822 he married his sweetheart from Berne, and they opened a boarding house. However, Butterfield continued his livery business. An astute

THE

businessman, he eventually owned controlling interest in several New York stage companies.

He and partner David Wasson in 1849 organized the Butterfield and Wasson Express Company. The next year they merged with Livingston Fargo & Co. and Wells & Co. to create American Express. Sound familiar?

Butterfield headed the new company and also had interests in railroads, telegraph lines, and banks. He and his partners were among the first entrepreneurs to see the commercial advantages of using stagecoaches to carry mail and freight.

Remember that gold was discovered in 1849 in California, and by 1850 enough people rushed in to provide sufficient population for statehood. By 1856, 75,000 Californians sent a petition to Washington asking for quicker mail service than the ships from the East provided.

Senator Thomas Rusk of Texas and senators from California and Missouri worked the hardest for a bill to provide an overland mail service. It finally passed Congress on March 3,

321 W. Main Street Azle, Texas 76020 (817) 270-3340 www.azlenews.net MEMBER 2015

1857.

Pres. James Buchanan's Postmaster General, Aaron V. Brown, advertised for bids.

Butterfield made three of the nine bids received, all for a central route.

The governPAGES FROM ment would WESTERN pay $600,000 per year for HISTORY trips of 25 days J’Nell L. Pate one way.

Already wealthy from his American Express Company that used railroads to carry mail in the East, Butterfield returned to his stagecoach roots to offer the service across the West. He signed a contract that the government could make a few changes in the route.

He didn't know that the Southern Postmaster General Brown, from Tennessee, would choose a southern route.

Mail from St. Louis and Memphis would unite in Fort Smith, Ark., travel by stage through North Texas (Sherman, Gainesville, Decatur, Bridgeport, Jacksboro, and on west to El Paso) across New Mexico and Arizona to California and north to San Francisco.

Northerners were mad that a southern route replaced a central one.

Butterfield provided 250 coaches with the appropriate number of drivers, station keepers, blacksmiths, mechanics, hostlers, herders – in all 2,000 men and women in 200 stations covering 3,134 miles. The stage carried mail, packages and passengers, but wisely, no gold or silver could be transported.

Butterfield gave cattle to Indians along the trail to placate them. Indians ran off mules and horses at stage stations, but remarkably, but for one attack, left the stages alone.

The stage had a tight schedule, so it ran day and night, only pausing to change horses and a few meal stops.

Fares were $200 west bound and $100 east bound. Later the price changed to $150 either way.

A journalist, Waterman Ormsby, traveled on the first west-bound trip, leaving Sept. 16, 1858, sleeping on the stage, and arrived in San Francisco in 23 days, 23 and 1/2 hours.

Unfortunately Butterfield's route ended in 1861 when the Civil War erupted. The government was not going to send the U.S. mail across Confederate Texas. Butterfield actually lost out a year earlier after Congress did not pass the annual Post Office Appropriation Bill, and his backers replaced him.

Butterfield later served a brief term as mayor of Utica, NY, and when he died in 1869, his funeral was the largest in the city's history. While he was directly involved in the creation of American Express and Wells Fargo, he mostly is remembered as heading the “Butterfield Stage.”

On another note, one of Butterfield's sons, David, served in the Union Army and is credited with composing the military bugle call “Taps.”

Senate panel passes legislation to fund state highways

T

The state comptroller would be required at the beginning of each fiscal year to deposit to the credit of the state highway fund all money that comes from sources identified in the legislation.

SB 5 and SJR 5 are authored

by Senate Transportation Committee Chair Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, and Senate Finance Committee Chair Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound.

Signed as coauthors are Sens.

Birdwell, Campbell, Fraser, Hall, Hancock, Huffines, Huffman, Kolkhorst, Lucio Jr., Seliger, Taylor of Collin and Zaffirini.

In each fiscal year beginning Sept. 1, 2017, the legislation as currently written would dedicate to general revenue the first $2.5 billion in revenues from existing sales tax on new and used vehicles and exiting rental tax on vehicles, according to the official analysis of the bills.

he Senate Transportation Committee on Feb. 25 tentatively approved two pieces of legislation that would take a portion of various motor vehicle related taxes and dedicate that money to road and bridge construction and maintenance.

Senate Bill 5, enabling legislation, and Senate Joint Resolution 5, which would put a constitutional amendment on the November statewide ballot, are meant to help cover the shortfall in the state highway funding program. According to Senate documents, the two measures work together to dedicate a portion of the motor vehicle sales tax and other taxes associated with vehicle use, but not the gas tax, to TxDOT so the agency “can reasonably predict and plan projects six to 10 years into the future, to replace congestion and to preserve our system.”

State Highway Fund would be divided equally between these two funds.”

Intent to fund is expressed During the Feb. 25 session of the Texas House, state Rep. John Otto expressed the body’s intention to “fully fund” TRSCare — the health care plan of retired teachers and their dependents — a group numbering more than 230,000 people.

Otto, R-Dayton, who chairs the budget-writing House Appropriations Committee, made the announcement on the House floor. The chamber erupted in hurrahs. The estimated cost of fully funding the health care plan for fiscal years 2016 and 2017 is more than three-quarters of a billion dollars.

Focus contains several excellent scenes.

Teachers with tenure For decades, Zapata and Leininger have educated local students School’s Andre “Andy” Zapata, and Lynda Leininger of Springtown Intermediate School.

Together these two educators have almost 70 years of teach-

ing experience in their respective school districts – 41 years at Azle ISD for Zapata and 28 years in Springtown ISD for Leininger – and they show no signs of slowing down.

Pursuing a passion “I cannot believe that I’m the most tenured for Springtown, are you serious?” Leininger exclaimed. “Wow. I didn’t realize that.”

Perhaps the years really fly by when you’re doing what you love for a living, as these educators say they are.

“I'm in my 41st year of teaching and for the most part it is still fun,” said Zapata, who realized during his college years at Texas A&M University that he was meant to be a teacher.

“It was an epiphany, if you will, and I will be the first one to tell you that I'm doing what I'm supposed to be doing,” he said. “Through the years I've come to understand that I am really blessed to understand that concept.”

Leininger, who comes from a family of educators, first felt the call to teach when she was in high school, and fully pursued that avenue during her college tenure at Weatherford College and Tarleton State University.

“When I was in elementary, I wanted to be a veterinarian, but as I got older, I realized I wanted to work with kids,” Leininger said. “And I wanted to be a math teacher when I was Long-tenured physics teacher Andy Zapata supervises in high school and starting in a catapult lab exercise with his students at Azle High college, but then I worked at a School.

become engaged in thinking about possible solutions to various problems, then that is when I am really excited about teaching,” Zapata said. “It really does not bother me to not know an answer to a problem – in fact I think it is very important for my students to understand that at times I'm learning right there with them.”

A true love of the job has also kept Leininger going strong.

most rewarded by “the people I work with, the students, all of it. There’s a lot of teachers in our building that I have worked with for many years, with very little turnover – we just have that history together; it’s almost like a family. And we have a lot of new teachers on this campus as well that are great – we’ve just got a great campus, I enjoy it here.”

Modern day challenges But being an educator is also not without its challenges, the two teachers noted.

“For me the most challenging part of teaching is working with 25 to 30 students per class – it takes me longer now to just even learn their names,” Zapata said. “There are many more challenges today than there were when I first started in my teaching career, but I've also come to understand that there are some things I can change and that there are some things that will take care of themselves.”

Leininger said changes in curriculum aren’t always easy, but she is “keeping up with

what the state requires and filling in the gaps, when there are gaps, and there usually are.”

“We were given little guidance in what we were supposed to teach our children when I first started,” Zapata said. “Today we have a laundry list of items we have to have taught to prepare them for either a statewide assessment or just to advance to another grade level.”

Leininger noted some major changes in technology, as well.

“When I started, report cards were done by paper, you had to do your averages on a calculator, and now it’s all done on the computer and printed out,” she said. “And there’s good and bad parts about it.”

Helping students excel For Zapata, an extremely supportive staff has enabled him to help his students excel, both in the classroom and in competitive events.

“I have had the real pleasure of working with some truly outstanding children whom have gone on to be very successful in every meaning of the word,” he said. “It is because of the opportunities that I've been given at Azle ISD

After 12 years as a fourthgrade teacher in Springtown, Leininger really found her niche teaching sixth grade math, which she’s done for the last 16 years.

“I’m still working at it,” she said. “Sixth grade can be quite entertaining, too.”

Retirement?

So, what does the future hold for these long-serving educators?

They both say retirement will happen eventually, but for now they plan to keep working with students in the classroom.

Leininger intends to earn her 30-year pin with SISD before eventually retiring so she’ll have time to travel with her Lynda Leininger has spent the last 16 years teaching husband. sixth grade math in Springtown.

Zapata, who has four children with his wife Genny (and two grandchildren), says he will never stop learning, even long after he is no longer actively teaching – whenever that may be.

“Life is a learning process and the classroom is just one environment where one has the opportunity to hone the learning skills that will help one down the road we refer to as life,” he said.

“If you have ever attempted to change or fix something to make it better and you have felt the satisfying feeling of watching your project work, that is what I feel when I see that light come on in my students,” Zapata added. “I'll probably retire from Azle in the future, but I'll always be a teacher – it's too much fun!”
