With EML rising, Twin Points boat launch reopens TRWD pipeline, Mother Nature credited with restoring lake level BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Whether you’re more inclined to pray for rain or do a rain dance, chances are recent precipitation has encouraged you to double up on your efforts. Eagle Mountain Lake was 10.5 feet low in February, but between April rains and the resumption of pumping via the pipeline from East Texas lakes, almost half of that deficit has been recovered in the past six weeks. On Tuesday, April 28, Tarrant Regional Water District officials reopened the boat launch at Twin Points and say they are optimistic about keeping it open throughout the summer. The launch, touted as the deepest one on EML, was closed in September 2014 when water levels were so low launching a boat there became impossible. “The rainfall over the last week, combined with our pumping efforts, have made a significant impact on Eagle Mountain's lake level,” TRWD spokesperson Chad Lorance said. “The lake is high enough now that we can keep the ramp open most, if not all, of the summer. It will depend on how much rainfall we get between now and then, as well as the impact of summer demands and evaporation.” While rains have helped significantly, TRWD has pumped an average 140 million gallons of water a day into EML since March 6, Lorance said. He added that pumping into the lake will continue so long as demand remains low. TRWD’s conservation efforts have resulted in a 30 percent reduction in annual demands, Lorance said. “Our goal is to get Eagle Mountain as close to conservation level as possible by June 1 of each year. It is hard to say if we will get there this year, but we have made significant progress,” Lorance said. “Hopefully, we get some more help from Mother Nature over the next few weeks.” The Twin Points boat launch is available on a first-come, firstserved basis for a $10 launch fee per vessel.

Up about five feet since February, the water level at Eagle Mountain Lake has allowed the reopening of the Twin Points boat launch. Photo courtesy Tarrant Regional Water District

Council denies zoning change for hay business BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Following a public hearing during the April 21 Azle city council meeting at which two neighbors voiced opposition to a proposed zoning change, the council voted against the change. Although the zoning change was recommended by the Planning and Zoning Commission, a motion made by Mayor Pro Tem Bill Jones and seconded by council member David McClure failed by a vote of 3 to 4. An attorney representing property owners Robin and Laurel Mosier told the council the couple proposed to build a retail sales and service operation for hay sales with frontage on State Highway (SH) 199. But the 9.46 acre tract they own is currently zoned Multi-Family Residential, so the Mosiers sought to have it rezoned to Heavy Commercial, which is in keeping the city’s Com-

Early voting now underway, continues through May 5 BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Early voting for the General Election to be conducted May 9 began Monday, April 27 and runs through Tuesday, May 5. Locally, the cities of Azle, Reno and Pelican Bay are holding elections; the town of Lakeside, the city of Sanctuary and the Azle Independent School District have each canceled elections this year since no candidates in those races are opposed. A full list of both Parker and Tarrant County polling sites for purposes of early voting can be found at http://www.cityofazle.org/index. aspx?nid=371. Early voting will be conducted:

Thus, Reno voters may vote early at any Parker County early voting location; Pelican Bay voters may vote early at any early voting location in Tarrant County. Voters in Azle may vote early at any early voting location in the county in which they live, be it Tarrant or Parker.

property is developed. One neighbor said he felt those intentions needed to be reduced to writing, but the city’s legal counsel said nothing but the zoning change could be addressed – extraneous issues may only be addressed later during the platting process or via ordinance. Another neighbor questioned the operation of the Mosiers’ hay business, which is in violation of its current residential zoning. Because that item was not on the agenda, it could not be addressed, either. Council members and staff discussed options for ways to resolve the matter, including the possibility of a Planned Development. The Mosiers’ attorney said he wanted to “remind you that you have MultiPLEASE SEE COUNCIL, PAGE 2A.

prehensive Land Use Plan. The property is located between SH 199 and Kerry Lane and west of Westline Road; the Mosiers currently operate their hay business from the property’s only entrance, which is located on Kerry Lane. Concerns of neighbors as well as some members of the council centered around traffic on Kerry Lane which already includes school buses and 18-wheelers serving nearby natural gas wells. Kerry Lane was not designed or built to handle such traffic, and neighbors expressed their concerns that a commercial business on the property could increase that traffic. The Mosiers’ attorney assured the council his clients intend to create an entrance from SH 199 and have no intention of using the Kerry Lane entrance once the southern portion of the

McClure echoed his sentiments in seconding the motion, saying, “I don’t know how to look at the possibilities without taking a step tonight.” Council member Lee Barrett voted for the measure along with Jones and McClure. Council members Chambers, Paul Crabtree, Rouel Rothenberger, and Mayor Alan Brundrett voted against the measure.

Friday Night ‘Magic’ comes to Azle Memorial Library May 1

Anniversaries

Magic: The Gathering play to begin It’s called Magic: The Gathering, and it’s wildly popular. Beginning May 1, teens in junior high and high school are invited to gather weekly on Fridays at 4 p.m. in the Teen Room at the Azle Memorial Library to play. Anyone can learn the game, strategies, and play with friends – be sure to bring your own decks. Magic: The Gathering is a turn-based game that fosters social interaction, community building, prediction, strategizing, and critical thinking skills.

Social and behavioral scientists have begun studying and documenting the benefits of game-based learning for students. According to the game’s web site, Magic is a tradable card game (TCG) where you build your collection of cards by trading with your friends, assembling decks of cards, and battling against an opponent and their deck. You cast powerful spells and summon monstrous creatures aiming to knock your opponent down from 20 lives to

zero. The game is constantly changing as new cards are released throughout the year. As you get new cards, whether from these new sets or through trading with your friends, you can continuously update your decks and discover a whole new game. You can play Magic: The Gathering a number of ways – from your console to your dining room table to your desktop PC. And now, you can play at your local library, as well.

Lee and Rita Prestage of Azle celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary April 22. They are the parents and grandparents of Alisa, Bailee and Grant Johnson and David, Teresa, Kalin and Garrett Clark.

Anna Laura Cutshall 2015

Anna Laura Cutshall passed away peacefully on Monday, April 27, 2015. She was 93 years old. Anna was ready to meet her Lord but wanted to see her great grandson first, who was born on Sunday. She smiled. Funeral service will be held at 2 p.m., Saturday, May 2, 2015 at Ash Creek Baptist Church, Azle. Interment to follow at Ash Creek Cemetery. Visitation from 6 – 8 p.m., Friday, May 1, 2015 at Biggers Funeral Home in Lake Worth. In lieu of flowers donations may be made to United We Build – Ash Creek Baptist Church, 300 S. Stewart, Azle, TX 76020. Born in Dicey, between Azle and Weatherford, Anna’s family moved often but returned to settle in the Azle area when she was 10 years old. When she was in the 8th grade at Bluff Springs, she was often called on to instruct the class while their teacher, who was also the basketball coach, practiced or went to games with the boys. In 1938 she graduated from Azle as valedictorian and attended the University of Texas on a scholarship. She came home to study at NTAC in Arlington and NTSU in Denton so that she could help care for her mother. When WWII began she worked for the Army Air Depot in San Antonio, later transfer-

ring to Carswell A.F.B. in Fort Worth and then the War Assets Administration and the C.A.A. After her marriage to Harry in 1946, and after 18 years of civil service work, she passed the exams with the highest score to become the Postmaster at Azle in 1961 so that she could be closer to her home and children. The Azle area grew and, in 1970, Anna became the first woman Postmaster of a First Class office in Texas, where she served for almost 20 years. Anna was an asset to the Azle community and served as chairman of the first American Cancer Society drive in Azle, was a board member of the Azle Chamber of Commerce, Worthy Matron of the Order of Eastern Star, a member of the National Association of Postmasters and a member of Business and Professional Women in Azle. She has also been a faithful member of Ash Creek Baptist Church for 78 years, teaching Sunday School for 50 of those years. Anna, with her husband Harry, enjoyed traveling throughout all the 50 states. They loved to see the sights but, especially, to visit friends and relatives. Her family would like to thank her caregiver, Brenda Miller, and the staff at Silver Creek Assisted Living, for the compassionate care given their mother. She is preceded in death by her wonderful husband of 55 years, Harry E. Cutshall, Jr. Survivors include her brother, Simon A. Snider and spouse Caroline; her son, Jack Cutshall; her daughter and spouse, Mary Hunt and Rollie; grandchildren, Travis Hunt, Meghan Hunt Doolan and spouse, Brian; and her great-grandchildren Meagan Cutshall and Rowan Doolan.

Paula Gafford Lozano, 71, of Azle passed on to be with the Lord, on her birthday, Tuesday, April 21, 2015. A funeral service was at 2 p.m. Saturday in Biggers Funeral Chapel. Visitation was at 1 p.m. to service time Saturday at the funeral home. Paula retired as the injury compensation manager of

North Texas for the United States Postal Service. She was also a very active member and loved volunteering at The Abbey Church in Azle. Paula was very much loved by her friends and family and the unconditional love she showed everyone will live on through her children and grandchildren. In the end Paula was surrounded by friends and family and went on to be with the Lord peacefully. We can all only hope to go as peacefully as she did. Survivors include her brother, Douglas East; and her three children, Monica Hannon, Vincente Lozano and Jesse Lozano. She is also survived by 11 grandchildren and four greatgrandchildren.

Joseph Howard McDonald, 60, passed away Wednesday, April, 22, 2015. Memorial services were held Saturday, April 25, 2015 in White’s Azle Chapel. Joseph was born March 29, 1955 in Denver, Colorado to

Local nurse makes ‘DFW Great 100’ list The annual list of the Metroplex’s best nurses is out, and a nurse from Texas Health Azle has found himself honored among the region’s Great 100

Nurses. The honoree from Texas Health Azle is Robert Potter, B.S.N., R.N., CEN, emergency services director.

Citadel Military Graduate

“Great 100 recognition means a lot to our nurses because it is coming from their peers,” said Valarie Gilbert, RN, chief nursing officer at Texas Health Azle. “Fellow nurses who have stood in your shoes and worked your shifts have said you are one of the best.” The DFW Great 100 Nurses Inc. annually sponsors the “DFW Great 100 Nurses” to honor registered nurses in the area who exemplify excellence in the art and science of nursing. Nurses are nominated by their peers, and may only be named to the list once in their career. “The Great 100 Nurses are the best of the best, and we are honored to have Robert recognized as one of those superstars

as he leads our very busy emergency department here at Texas Health Azle,” said Bob Ellzey, FACHE, hospital president. “Our nurses set a high standard for each other, an example of excellence that is made up of hard work and dedication for every patient, every day. “I am proud that Robert’s skill and leadership was recognized among the best in our region.” In all, Texas Health Resources system hospital nurses won 29 of the 100 spots on the coveted list, the most for any health system in North Texas. The “Great 100 Nurses” were honored at the 25th annual gala on April 28 at the Morton H. Meyerson Symphony Center in Robert Potter, DFW Great 100 nurse from Texas Health Azle Dallas.

Why I now hate Stone Mountain, Georgia

had done almost everything I usually do while waiting for the Bride to get ready for church – found the iPad and lesson literature, listened to Get the Led Out on KZPS, prepared the coffee travel mug – when she said she was almost ready. That meant 10 more minutes at least, of course, so I decided to check the bank balance. That’s weird; it was way lower than it should’ve been. We had been talking about how little charges peck away – why, yes, Dave Ramsey’s financial theory is taught at our church – and this must be one of those instances. A list of pending debits included $48.43, $25.20, $54.95 – 14 of them in all. Wait. “STONE MOUNTAINGAUS”? What’s that? One of those things that you think will never happen to you, had happened to us. Oh, we’d been hit by a drunk driver and I had a little brother

die of cancer, but, for the most part, that low-percentage bad stuff had happened to someone else. But here was another one: Someone had stolen my banking information. We went to the bank the next day. The kind lady clearly had done this before as her what-a-way-to-start-aMonday sigh belied. She pulled up our account online as we assured her we had never been to Stone Mountain, Georgia. The bank lady said, “We tried to tell ya’ll that we were concerned about your account.” She said they called us – using a number that was at least 15 years old. “It’s important that the bank have a current number for you.” We fixed that right there. She added, “We also sent you a letter.” We had casually read it, we said, but thought it was just a typical notice of the reissuing of a new debit card. “We stopped your card,” the bank lady continued which explained why it was declined at Schlotzsky’s ear-

lier. (I thought it was because we went crazy and not only bought a large but deluxed it with extra wads of meat. [I highly recommend that, by the way.]) She began ON YOUR printing out a series of paperMARK work. That’s Mark K. Campbell when the ceiling fell in. Really. Right behind us, tiles fell from above, damaged by the previous night’s storm, causing a cacophony. The bank lady began talking on the phone as the ceiling repair guys fired up a giant wet-vac three feet from us. Occasionally we could hear snippets of “fraud department” and “already

approved” while a cast of characters scrambled around us – scruffy workers picking up plaster, business suit-clad bankers rushing around with forms, a Grant Wood couple sitting stoically on a bench by the door. It was like a Fellini movie. Or David Lynch. Finally, things began to sort out. I signed and addressed 14 different pieces of paper – “Each incident needs its own report” – and handwrote my narrative on the back of one of them. The Bride read what I wrote and told me I had the timeline wrong – it took me awhile to decipher what she was saying with the wet-vac din still ringing in my ears – so I scratched through a few things before my confession was complete. Then came the lesson. The bank lady said there were a number of ways my information could’ve been stolen. She showed us a printout of the illicit charges. “These here,” she said, “at the Chevron. They probably offered to

fill people’s tanks for $20 then just swiped the card. “And these Kroger charges, they are almost certainly gift cards.” There were three $54.95 duns and another for $59.18. I got no solace knowing some Georgia hillbilly was eating at Cracker Barrel on my dime. Our account was sucked down to $81.61 after other debits were noted, including several Walgreens’ deductions. The good news, she said, was that we might have caught it in time, that we might get some of the debits back. We staggered out of the bank to a nearby restaurant where we ate big breakfasts. The Bride paid – with cash. So, we learned a few things, mainly that, yes, it can happen to you. And, I’ll tell you one more thing: I’m never going to Stone Mountain, Georgia. Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and admits he finds Dave Ramsey kinda smug.

How deep is your love?

Zane Grey, prolific Western writer, overcame struggles

emember the Johnny Cash song, “A Boy Named Sue”? How about a real boy growing up named Pearl? This was the early life of Pearl Zane Grey who, according to his biographer Frank Gruber, was the Father of the Western story, perhaps the most popular author of the 20th century and writer of the best Western novel ever! That novel was Riders of the Purple Sage. During a ten year period from 1915 to 1924 a Zane Grey book was in the top ten bestseller list nine times, missing only the year 1916. His all-time best-selling book, which still sells, is Riders of the Purple Sage.” In fact, while reading the biography, I ordered the famous novel. The Zane family – the writer's mother's Danish heritage – migrated to England and then to America. His ancestors fought in the American Revolution. A relative created the town of Zanesville, Ohio where Pearl grew up. (Yes, the family called him Pearl,

THE

and that was the name he went by all through school. He was a popular baseball player.) The Gray family, which actually spelled it with an ‘a,’ was Irish. Lewis Gray, Zane's father, was a dentist who had moved to Zanesville. There Pearl Zane Gray was born in 1872, one of four children, three boys and a girl. He was the one who changed the spelling to Grey with the ‘e’ and dropped his first name when he began to write. Becoming a dentist at the insistence of his father, the young Zane moved to New York, determined to be a writer after reading dime novels all through high school. He pulled teeth in the daytime and wrote at night. In 1900 the 28-year-old Grey met seventeen-year-old Lina Roth, called Dolly, and they corresponded for five years. She encouraged his writing, but the one article called “A Day on the Delaware” about fishing that he sold in 1902 for $10 would not support a wife. He still was a dentist when they married in 1905. Dolly encouraged Grey to write his

ence life there. This visit became the turning point in his career. He had to pay his own way with some of Dolly's inheritance money, but she agreed. During the several weeks he was gone, he took notes, interviewed people, even studied the plants and learned the dialect of the area. He heard about outlaws, wild horses, Indians. Back home, he began writing Western novels by hand at the kitchen table. The books were not accepted at first, and he became depressed by comments of literary critics. Finally, in 1910 with The Heritage of the Desert, he succeeded big. The book sold 31,000 copies. By 1912 he wrote Riders of the Purple Sage, and readers loved it. In 1918 three of his novels were filmed for the motion pictures, and he received $25,000 for each. Soon he earned over double that. By 1913 he was a rich man, earning $100,000, the equivalent of a million dollars in later years. He loved to fish, and he traveled the world in search of trophy catches. During the 1920s he was earning $400,000, sometimes

$500,000 per year. His fame was at its greatest in 1925, and his books were being filmed for the movies. His earnings slowed down, however, during the Depression in the 1930s. He died Oct. 23, 1939 of a heart attack. Harper's, his publisher, had 20 of his books still unpublished, and so kept releasing them through the years. Zane Grey was the author of more than 90 books, some of them originally published serially in magazines. He wrote not only Westerns, but two hunting books, six children's books, three baseball books, and eight fishing books. Sales of his books total more than $40 million. One of the first writers to become a millionaire, he inspired many to write Westerns. The name “Zane Grey” has become synonymous with Westerns; aren't we all glad that he dropped “Pearl” as his moniker! 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.

House, Senate state budget conferees roll up sleeves

get most of their revenue from local property taxes, and under the Senate plan, the state would have to make up for revenue lost to property tax cuts. The House plan, touted to provide some $5 billion in tax relief through other means, includes the first-ever reduction in state sales tax, with a 0.30-cent reduction in rate from the current 6.25 percent to 5.95 percent. Wherever such matters settle, the state’s checkbook must balance. Tax cuts will have to be “paid for” by corresponding cuts to budget items, such as health care, education, transportation and public safety. Last week, House Speaker Joe Straus and Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick picked five members each for the conference committee on HB 1: House Appropriations Chair John Otto, R-Dayton; Rep. Trent Ashby, R-Lufkin; Rep. Sarah Davis, R-Houston; Rep. Larry Gonzales, R-Round Rock; and Rep. Sylvester Turner, D-Houston;

ith barely more than a month left in the regular session of the Texas Legislature, it’s time for the House and Senate to do whatever can be done to reach an all-points agreement on House Bill 1, the state budget for fiscal years 2016 and 2017. A widely reported sticky area in the estimated $211 billion budget is over which taxes to cut and how much to cut. House and Senate conferees will meet this week. From both ends of the Capitol, the budget has a ways-and-means inertia to it, with House leaders pushing for cuts in the state sales tax rate and the state franchise tax. Senate leaders favor more emphasis on cutting homeowners’ property tax rates, a job traditionally in line with the normal functions of local governmental bodies. School districts, for example,

Greg Abbott on April 22 submitted comments to the federal Environmental Protection Agency’s Air Planning Section over the agency’s proposed regional-haze rule. Abbott said the EPA’s proposed action “is unlawful on multiple fronts, and perhaps most egregiously it would impose a $2 billion burden in compliance costs and threaten the reliability of Texas’ energy grid — without any discernible benefits.” The governor is arguing that the EPA: (1) does not have the authority to regulate “invisible” haze; (2) oversteps its statutory authority by imposing a com-

Lady Hornets win softball district title again Playoffs start at home against Carter-Riverside by mark k. campbell Going into the April 21 game against Brewer, the Lady Hornet softball team knew a victory meant another district championship. Azle (23-2, 13-1) jumped ahead and quelled a late Lady Bear rally to win the game and 5-5A, 10-8. That contest was followed up – eventually, after even more rain this April – with a regular season-ending 12-6 victory over Wichita Falls Rider on Senior Night April 25. Those successes bumped Azle up a notch in the 5A Texas Girls Coaches Association poll, to fourth. The Brewer game was the

Hornets hang on with Brewer victory The baseball Hornets got in just one game in the past week – a 5-1 victory over Brewer. That win kept alive faint playoff hopes for Azle (8-10, 4-7). “If we win out, then we could be in,” Coach Anthony Barron said. “But we’d need some help from other teams.” AHS never trailed in White Settlement against the Bears; the Hornets scored twice in the top of the first inning. From there, winning pitcher Tommy Kay took care of business with a complete game 3-hitter. The Hornets got just 4 hits, but it was enough. Trey Ramos singled and stole a base; he and Dylan Robinson got the only RBI. A 5-5A game against Wichita Falls Rider has been postponed twice because of weather. A Boswell game was bumped, too.

That didn’t happen. In White Settlement, Brewer scored the first run then Azle got the next 6, building a 6-1 advantage for Lady Hornet pitcher Makenzi Harris (12-1). When the Lady Bears drew to 6-4 at the end of five innings, a 4-spot for AHS was enough to clinch the game. Azle belted 16 hits – every one a single – as Bailee Carter and Rebekah Teel both had 3. Sarah Brown and Samantha Tittle collected 2 RBI apiece; Teel, Carter, and Harris had 1 each.

Lead-off hitter Bailee Carter has terrorized District 5-5A pitchers this season. In Azle’s final two regular season contests, she went 6-for-10 with 2 triples, 4 runs scored, and 3 RBI.

Movie Man

Azle News Wednesday, April 29, 2015

Movie Man: Knows all, sees all this summer Ah, trying to divine what the top 10 movies of the summer will be – always a Movie Man favorite. This year, curiously, the No. 1 pick has never been simpler. It’s after that one that things get tricky. This summer’s biggies Here’s how the blockbuster season will likely shake out: 1. The Avengers: Age of Ultron (May 1). The Movie Man has already said that this would be the year of two $1,000,000,000 dollar movies; the shocking success of Furious 7 (Movie Man No. 1134, a 5) will make it three. Right now, that epic level has been reached just 20 times. But what makes Furious 7’s success even more amazing is that it’s only the third movie to ever make $1 billion internationally, excluding its U.S. take. The other worldwide billion dollar hits: Titanic (1997, MM #212, 8) and Avatar (2009, MM #856, 7). There’s nothing this summer to come close to the anticipation of Age of Ultron. It’ll make a billionplus – and be joined by Star Wars: The Force Awakens. Yes, the Avengers will assemble – at the box office. 2. Inside Out (June 19) There wasn’t a Pixar movie in 2014. With that dearth and a strong coming attraction, this animated movie (and No. 4) will dominate the kid market this summer. 3. Jurassic World (June 12) Even today, Jurassic Park (1993, MM #5 [!], 9, Best of Year) is a wonder to watch. This addition to the dinosaur canon will bring droves to theaters well into August. 4. Minions (July 10) The solo Penguins of Madagascar (2014, MM #1115, 7) might’ve underperformed, but there’s no way that this spinoff from Despicable Me (2010, MM #885, 7) will misfire. 5. Ted 2 (June 26) The Movie Man got burned

by Seth McFarland last year when he picked A Million Ways to Die in the West as a Top 10-er. It was anything but; however, the earlier (mystifying) success of Ted (2012, MM #989, 3) can’t miss. The raunchy comedy will certainly fare better than McFarland’s failed Western. 6. Fantastic Four (Aug. 7) This is the Movie Man’s biggest Top 10 gamble. Previous attempts at this Marvel classic have been okay, but not the mega-hits other far lesser comic titles have enjoyed. This time it looks like they’ve finally got it right. And that needs to happen – historically FF is the best of all Marvel titles. 7. Mission Impossible: Rogue Nation (July 31) It’s hard to bet against Tom Cruise even with his off-screen weirdness. And the Mission: Impossible movies are always good. 8. Tomorrowland (May 22) This could do much better than eighth. The preview is strange and enchanting but doesn’t really scream summer blockbuster. Still, it’s Disney and they seldom misfire. 9. Ant-Man (July 17) This movie has the buzz that Fantastic Four should have. It has a Guardians of the Galaxy (2014, MM #1099, 7) vibe and

Top 10 Predictions Impressive prognostications Starring: Hulk, John Connor, minions, Ant-Man, George Clooney, Ted the gross bear, Pac-man, Tom Cruise, Pixar, Mad Max, Melissa McCarthy, U.N.C.L.E. email: movieman@azlenews.net

? ... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man that movie went berserk at the box office. 10. Pixels (July 24) Most Adam Sandler movies are cruddy, but his fan base remains huge. However, the preview for Pixels is terrific and the idea is great – old school video games come to life and attack earth; a ragtag group of former gamers must rise to defeat the likes of Pac-Man and Donkey Kong. List busters? A couple of movies could sneak into the Top 10. The Movie Man is a fan of Melissa McCarthy, and Spy (June 5) might pass $100 million. And it’s always chancy to bet against a Terminator movie;

even the denigrated last one (Salvation, 2009, MM #826, 6) made $125.3 million in the U.S. So Genisys (July 3) could certainly crack the list. But the Movie Man thinks a couple of other hopefuls – Mad Max: Fury Road and The Man from U.N.C.L.E. – will fade after decent starts. Follow the Movie Man Here’s how the Movie Man plans on mapping out his summer:

On the hunt for the elusive pink bluebonnet by mark k. campbell This week’s Home & Garden special section is filled with photos of a variety of flowers. Included are some bluebonnet shots that didn’t come easily. For more than two decades, Paula Campbell has supplied the paper with scores of photos. For the Home & Garden section, we wanted to highlight the wide variety of flowers that grow from gardens to roadsides. In early April, we had been driving south off Highway 183 before veering west from Lometa. Wending through back-

The story behind the photograph roads, our eyes were pealed for white and pink bluebonnets. Sharp-eyed Paula spied some white ones as we drove 55 mph toward Llano. I pulled over and sometimes traffic whizzed by too close, but she got the shot. (It’s on Page 22 of the special section.) This pink flower was much tougher, but, again, she managed to spot one; after we had waded through creeks and dodged suspicious cows, eyed speeding traffic and carefully trod among cactus and suspect cows, north of Llano on Highway 16, a few gentle, pink flowers peeked out among their blue neighbors.

Holiday heaven

Federal holidays Government workers are big fans of federal holidays. There are 10. Every year begins with a holiday – New Year's Day, January 1. A second January holiday is Martin Luther King, Jr. Day,

every third Monday of the month. President's Day arrives in February, on the third Monday of February. It's officially Washington's Birthday but most folks lump in Abraham Lincoln, too, as well as recognizing “the legacy of all presidents.” Memorial Day is the last Monday of May. It originally was created for remembering those killed in the Civil War, but now all the dead from all wars are honored. Independence Day is July 4 and celebrates the adoption of Declaration of Independence in 1776. Labor Day is the first Monday in September, honoring America's working population, and it used to be crowded with

of holidays that aren't official by any means, but they are certainly popular. Groundhog Day, February 2, dates back to 1887. A critter's shadow unscientifically determines how many more weeks of winter remains. Valentine's Day is February 14, of course. The first massproduced cards were created in the 1840s. Easter commemorates the resurrection of Christ – dates vary. Earth Day comes around every April 22 and has since 1970. Arbor Day was proclaimed to be the last Friday in April by President Richard Nixon in 1970; however, a similar tree planting event has been observed since 1872. Recognized holidays Mother's Day started in 1914 In America, we have a slew when President Woodrow Wilson issued a proclamation. It's every second Sunday in May. Flag Day is June 14 and has been presidentially proclaimed since 1916. Father's Day is the third Sunday in June. It began in 1909 and, in 1966, President Lyndon Johnson issued the proclamation. Patriots Day is September 11 to commemorate the 2001 attack on America. Citizens are encouraged to observe it as a National Day of Service. Halloween is October 31. Pearl Harbor Day is always December 7 and commemorates the bombing of Hawaii that ushered America into World War II. parades all across the country. Today, it’s casually considered the “end of summer.” Columbus Day is celebrated on the second Monday in October. President Franklin D. Roosevelt proclaimed the holiday first in 1937. Veterans Day is November 11. It began as Armistice Day to remember the dead of World War I. It morphed into honoring soldiers from all wars. Thanksgiving Day is the fourth Thursday in November, recalling 1621 when the first feast by Pilgrims is believed by some to have occurred. Christians and non-Christians alike celebrate Christmas Day on December 25.

Other holidays Some days are on the calendar but are not always official. April Fool’s Day is April 1 and is a day for mischief. Saint Patrick's Day is March 17, and it's wise to wear green if you are in elementary school or you might get pinched.
