‘Bay considers abolishing VFD Following a brief review of the contract, the city attorney identified some changes he felt needed to be made and the decision was made to cancel the meeting, work out some changes with Briar VFD’s attorney, and bring the matter back up at a special meeting to be called Nov. 24. Morley noted that both the termination of PBVFD’s contract and execution of a contract with Briar VFD are decisions that will be voted on by the entire city council. If it comes to pass, Morley explained it would mean closing down the PBVFD – although the building would remain in operation and be available for Briar VFD to use. Current volunteers for PBVFD would be allowed to apply to volunteer with the Briar VFD, Morley explained. Morley said he believes the move would help ensure better fire coverage for residents of Pelican Bay, and it would also provide them with emergency first responders through the Briar VFD. Morley also spoke about efforts currently underway to combine the Reno Volunteer Fire Department with the Briar VFD, saying that becoming part of that combined department is something that makes sense for the residents of Pelican Bay.

by carla noah stutsman Polly Huffman was practically giddy Monday afternoon describing the first-ever Movie in the Park. Presented by the city of Azle’s Special Events Advisory Board (SEAB), on which Huffman serves, the event held Saturday evening, Nov. 8 in the amphitheater of Central Park, capitalized on the success of the SEAB’s wildly popular Music in the Park Summer Concert Series. Huffman estimated the crowd in attendance to see the Disney film Maleficent to be between 500 and 600 people – including many, many children. “People brought their blankets and quilts, pillows and lawn chairs – it was just like a family would do at home to watch a movie,” Huffman said. “It was such a success – we’re so very proud it turned out so well.” Huffman admits it was a lot of work for members of the SEAB, but says it was worth it. She credited the event’s sponsors – Red’s Hamburger House, Pinnacle Bank Azle, Ace of Azle and Brookshire’s – with making it all possible. “All who attended were very pleased with the movie, the free popcorn and the free water,” Huffman said. “We (board members) were just poppin’ and sackin’ popcorn most of the night.” Huffman said the SEAB is anxious to bring another Movie in the Park to Azle, hopefully in the spring of 2015. “We feel like we gave the citizens of Azle and the entire community a real treat, and can’t wait to do it again,” she said. Other SEAB members – all volunteers – include Martin Feminella, Marsha Hardin, Cindy Willeford, Debra Jenkins, Pat Russell, and Terressa Nordstrom.

Vote slated Nov. 24 on contract with Briar VFD by carla noah stutsman The regular monthly meeting of the Pelican Bay city council didn’t take place Monday, Nov. 10, as scheduled. The consent agenda for the meeting included the approval of minutes from the Oct. 27 meeting, approval of the monthly police report and approval of the ordinance and animal control monthly report. Items for deliberation included the review, discussion and possible action to terminate the contract between the city and the Pelican Bay Volunteer Fire Department, as well as the review, discussion and possible action to enter into a contract between the city and the Briar Volunteer Fire Department. However, immediately after calling the meeting to order, Mayor Bill Morley said, “This meeting is over before it even starts.” Morley explained that a proposed contract from the Briar VFD had only been received 30 minutes earlier, and that he wanted the city’s legal counsel to review it before proceeding. He stated the matter would be taken up at a meeting Monday, Nov. 24, and then adjourned the meeting. Reached by phone Tuesday, Nov. 11, Morley said the Briar contract actually arrived at city hall about 6 p.m. Monday evening. The city’s attorney arrived at 6:20 p.m.

by carla noah stutsman Voters in the cities of both Azle and Reno approved measures providing for maintenance and repairs of existing city streets during the general election held Tuesday, Nov. 4. In Azle, voters overwhelmingly approved the extension of a one-fourth of one percent sales and use tax to fund continued maintenance and repairs to the city’s existing streets. By a vote of 1,984 for (86.8 percent) to 302 against (13.2 percent), voters indicated their desire to continue that tax for another four years. In Reno, voters approved an identical measure for the first time by a vote of 237 for (56.97 percent) to 179 against (43.03 percent). The beauty of the tax, in both cases, is that all purchases made inside the city pay the sales and use tax, even if the purchaser lives outside the city

limits. That means city residents get at least some help from those living outside their town who also drive city streets in paying for the maintenance and repairs. The local concern with street conditions was echoed at the state level, where 76.6 percent of all Texas voters carried state Proposition 1. The measure diverts half of the general revenue derived from oil and gas taxes from the Economic Stabilization Fund, also known as the Rainy Day Fund, to the State Highway Fund for the purpose of providing transportation funding for repairs and maintenance of public roads. It is anticipated this will result in approximately $1.2 billion per year going toward transportation funding instead of the Rainy Day Fund. The measure will take effect as soon as

votes are certified and will apply to transfers the comptroller made after Sept. 1. Also locally, Parker County Justice of the Peace Precinct 1 Wayne Hayes, who ran unopposed, was re-elected. In Tarrant County, longtime Commissioner in Precinct 4 J.D. Johnson (R) defeated Democratic challenger Steve Lerma, 65.07 percent to 34.93 percent. Jacquelyn Wright (R), the incumbent Justice of the Peace in Precinct 4, was unopposed in her bid for reelection. Republican Tom Wilder was reelected to the office of District Clerk, defeating a bid from Democrat Cynthia Toodle 57.92 percent to 38.95 percent. Mary Louise Garcia, also a Republican incumbent, was unopposed in her bid to retain her office as County Clerk.

Area cities, districts enjoy bumps in sales tax revenue But Parker County sees drop from November 2013 by carla noah stutsman Texas Comptroller Susan Combs distributed November local sales tax allocations totaling $723.1 million to cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts across the state Nov. 5. Statewide, the November 2014 allocations rose 10.5 percent compared to November 2013. However, in Parker County, the numbers dipped from a year ago. With the single exception of Parker County, every local entity recognized an increase in its November allocations compared with November 2013. Parker County’s November check for $609,199 marks a 6.87 percent decrease compared with its November allocation of $654,181. However, the county’s year-to-date allocations of $6,672,796 are up 4.33 percent compared with the first 11 months of 2013, at which time it had received $6,395, 808. Other taxing entities in the area were more fortunate. The town of Lakeside continues to ride a one percent voter-approved increase in its sales tax rate. Its sales tax allocations for November are up a whopping 151.25 percent at $16,894 compared with $6,724 for November 2013. The town is up 129.36 percent with $154,270 year-to-date, compared with $67,258 for 2013. The city of Springtown is up 18.33 percent with November allocations of $89,483, compared with November 2013 allocations of $75,617. Year-to-date, the city is up 3.39 percent with $846,809, compared with $818,968 received in the same period in 2013. The city of Reno rose 11.80 percent in November with $10,034 when compared with $8,975 in November 2013. That increase, however, is not enough to bring the city equal to its yearto-date allocations of $78,989 in 2013. Reno’s current year-to-date allocations of $78,021 are 1.22 lower. The city of Sanctuary saw a 10.13 percent increase with its November allocations of $1,367 compared with $1,242 in November 2013. The city’s year-to-date allocations of $13,593 are up 8.66 percent when compared to $12,509 for the first 11 months of 2013. The city of Azle’s November allocations of $199,409 mark a 6.67 percent increase from $186,934 in November 2013. Year-to-date, Azle is up 1.55 percent with $1,977,397 compared with $1,947,150 for the same period in 2013. Azle’s Crime Control and Prevention District bested the city’s increase. The district’s November allocations of $35,630 are up 7.91 percent from $33.018 in November 2013. Year-to-date

the district has accumulated $366,937 in allocations, 1.23 percent more than $362,453 for the same period in 2013. Azle’s Municipal Development District, still in its first year of sales tax collections, received allocations of $38,092. It has received $361,543 so far during calendar 2014. The city of Pelican Bay saw the smallest increase of area cities in November with allocations of $1,506. That’s a 0.67 percent increase from $1,496 in November 2013. The Bay is up 2.11 percent with year-to-date totals of $17,535, compared with $17,171 for the same period in 2013. Taxing entities located in Parker County received total allocations of $1,511,795 in November, a 13.86 percent increase from $1,327,674. They have received a total of $15,157,548 in calendar 2014, up 5.96 percent from $14,303,820 for the same period in 2013. Taxing entities in Tarrant County received a total of $44,279,601 in sales tax allocations for November, an increase of 9.84 percent from $40,310,974 for November 2013. Those entities have received a total $427,932,974 so far in calendar 2014. That amount is up by 5.21 percent from $406,725,000 received in the same period of 2013. November sales tax figures represent September sales reported by monthly tax filers and July, August and September sales reported by quarterly filers. Combs also gave a preview of what those taxing entities might expect to receive in December when she said state sales tax revenue in October was $2.41 billion, up 12.9 percent compared to October 2013. “Strong growth in sales tax receipts was apparent across all major economic sectors,” Combs said. “Notable increases from retail trade and the oil and natural gas-related sectors led the growth, indicating increased spending by both consumers and businesses.” Taxing entities across the state of Texas received allocations of $473,358,107 in November, marking a 9.60 percent increase from $431,875,774 for November 2013. Total allocations distributed to those taxing entities so far in calendar 2014 are $4,641,350,177. That represents a 6.72 percent increase over year-to-date allocations across the state of $4,348,928,940 for the same period in 2013. The Texas Comptroller’s office issued 1,148 sales tax allocation payments in November. For details of November sales tax allocations to individual cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose districts, locate the Monthly Sales Tax Allocation Comparison Summary Reports on the Comptroller’s website at www.window.state.tx.us/taxinfo/allocsum/compsum.html.

Reno welcomes new city secretary

Silver Creek Place Fire

Taylor Cubbage, a junior, won the second place medal in her grade level division of the science contest. Junior Carl Bertsch finished sixth in the calculator and science contests. The tournament was actually the second the AHS team competed in this school year. Last week the team went to Grapevine and essentially had an intra-squad practice. The team results from that practice and from the Azle tournament indicate the team still has work to do to get ready for UIL competition in the spring, coaches noted. Between now and then there are plenty of practices and practice tournaments. The road to state is usually an uphill battle, but this team is working hard at achieving academic ex- A Silver Creek Place staff member offers her sweater to cellence through competition, a resident after a small kitchen fire caused a brief evaccoaches said. uation of the building Nov. 7.

By Natalie gentry The new Reno City Secretary, Ramah Burns isn’t afraid of a challenge, and that’s a good thing.

In addition, she will act as the group administrator for city employee benefits as well as with the Texas Municipal Retirement System and the Texas Ramah Burns is ready to take over as the new Reno City Municipal League. “I’ll tell you, the Secretary. Photo by Natalie Gentry amount of work this woman has gotten done already is mind-boggling,” Stokes said, “We are very happy to have Ramah here.”

Graditude: Good for you and good for your health As we head into November and the hectic pace of the December holiday season, it’s nice to look forward to the Thanksgiving holiday, a day when so many of us can take time to enjoy the fruits of our labors with a traditional (or not-so traditional) feast with our loved ones and spend the day being thankful for all the blessings we have received over the past year. While it feels good to be grateful, gratitude is much more than banking some good karma. According to numerous studies, gratitude can actually help you sleep better, increase your level of happiness, and aid in improving your overall health. According to Robert Emmons, Ph.D., one of the foremost experts in the field of gratitude studies, “Researchers have found that gratitude contributes powerfully to human health, happiness, and social connection.” In an early study, Dr. Emmons and his research partner Mike McCullough assigned one of three tasks at random to explore the effects of gratitude vs. negativity, plus a neutral control group. Participants were asked to keep a short journal once a week for 10 weeks. In the journal, they were asked to list five things that happened over the past week –the Gratefulness group listed five things they were grateful for, the Negative group wrote down five things that ticked them off, and the Control group listed five neutral events, neither good nor bad. The results were positive, dramatically so. According to Dr. Emmons, “Those in the gratitude condition reported fewer health complaints and even spent more time exercising than control participants did, and significantly more time exercising than those in the hassles condition (nearly 1.5 hours more per week). This is

a massive difference. The gratitude group participants also experienced fewer symptoms of physical illness than those in either of the other two groups. “ In The Grateful Brain, Alex Korb, Ph.D. quotes a study performed at the National Institutes of Health (NIH), where researchers looked at blood flow in different regions of the brain while the subjects invoked feelings of gratitude. The study found that subjects who showed more gratitude had increased levels of activity in the hypothalamus, which controls important functions such as eating, drinking and sleeping, and influencing metabolism and stress levels. This evidence led the researchers to believe that increases in gratitude could lead to positive effects such as improved sleep, decreased depression and fewer aches and pains. It’s simple to ramp up your level of gratitude by keeping a daily gratitude journal or taking a few moments throughout your day to pay attention to the small, simple things that make your life better, whether it’s a co-worker with a friendly word, a warm, sunny day or your favorite song playing on the radio. Some people have begun a month-long November tradition of posting “one reason a day to be grateful” to their favorite social media platform. Whether you choose to do it publicly or privately, getting in the habit of gratefulness can enrich your life and transform your experience of the world around you. What are you grateful for right here in this moment? It’s not too late to begin today!

Senior Spotlight by sue turnipseed The B. J. Clark Community Center in a busy place Monday through Friday as the senior citizens gather for fellowship and food and to escape the house for a while. Don Howard and his helpers went to the Tarrant Area Food Bank last Friday and picked up food to distribute to the seniors who qualify. The food passed out included cheese, potatoes, onions, carrots, oranges, and other things to help ease the grocery budgets for the recipients. The service veterans were honored on Tuesday and were surprised with a framed Cer-

tificate of Appreciation and a small copy of the certificate for their wallet. Jerry Miller played patriotic music on the piano as we honored the veterans who took time to serve protecting our country. This Friday the seniors who have signed up to get pet food need to come eat and pick up their pet food. This is a program which helps those living alone to feed their pets while spending their money on food for themselves. The AARP Drivers Class will be Nov. 20 and if you are planning to attend call 817-4440074 to sign up. This program helps keep driving skills and

safety rules current for seniors. Exercise helps keep the body in better health and with flexibility exercise the body is more ready to move you around so you can enjoy life. Exercise is offered in the Emanuel Building MondayThursday mornings so call 817-444-0070 to find out all the details. The Center’s Thanksgiving dinner will be Nov. 21. We had

to turn in the lunch order this week so it is too late to sign up to eat. Those eating that day are encouraged to dress festively with a flower theme. Use this Thanksgiving season to be thankful for what you have and who you know. Darlene Holmes, the director of the Azle Senior Center, is gaining strength and has almost completed all of her medical tests.

Listening to the deafening sounds of silence

he fluid was gurgling in my ear. Everybody has some sort of weird anomaly with their bodies. Some have hairy backs. Others weird feet. And still others have an extra something or other. I’m an earwax guy. It builds up through the years despite my living by the creed of “put nothing smaller than your elbow in your ear.” (When I was a boy, my mom was the master at digging wax out with a bobby pin. That’s really not a medically approved procedure anymore. [But, like with riding in the back of pickup trucks, drinking whole milk, and eating one million baloney sandwiches on white bread, I managed to survive to adulthood.]) As time goes by, I notice that I can’t

hear too well sometimes. (Earwax build up is a great excuse to answer the Bride as to why I didn’t do something or other. I say “What?! Huh?!” a lot.) Occasionally, I find myself reclining on my doctor’s butcher paper-covered bed-thingie. Some sort of medical person – I hardly ever see the real doctor; I’m not a millionaire – comes in and puts some drops of something in my ear. Then I lay on my side for 10 “doctor” minutes (20 in real life) while, courtesy of gravity, those drops take on the herculean task of softening a substance that has been hardening since President Clinton was in office. Gurgle, gurgle, gurgle goes the fluid past the wax, throughout the various ear bones (from childhood I remember one is the anvil), to my eardrum and, I assume, into my brain. When the medical person returns,

she has the usual highly professional “ear kit” – I know that’s what it is because that’s what’s scrawled in permanent marker on the end of the plasON YOUR tic tote. Then comes MARK the fun part: Mark K. Campbell the washout. Filling a syringe with warm water, she begins squirting it into my ear. It feels wonderful! As the water tries to dislodge the stubborn block of wax, some fluid manages to filter through to the back of the ear canal. It’s like scratching an

unreachable itch – so groovy! (Old-timers will remember when comics could be funny without being vulgar. Bill Cosby had a routine on his 1970 Sports album about the beauty of delaying scratching jock itch, about how fantastic it was when you finally relented – the water reaching the depths of the ear is like that.) Anyway, the medical person turned my head into a water balloon, but the blockage refused to release. I suggested we just “rip it out by the roots” which wasn’t the best word choice, probably. She came back into the room with some sort of long, plastic wand dealie; I wasn’t sure if I was relieved or not that it wasn’t a bobby pin. As you likely know, someone messing with your ear sounds really weird to you since you’re the only one who can discern the deep-sea noises that

rooting around causes. With a few minutes of probing and digging, she finally dislodged what had taken me a decade to produce. I knew it was awesome because she gagged a tad. I have a great picture of the culprit (God bless cellphones). It resembles the chest-ripper creature from the movie Alien only (a little) smaller. Suddenly, I could hear again! Running later, I cranked up Walkman (yes, Walkman) when the awesome guitar solo at the end of Gerry Rafferty’s “Baker Street” arrived. Far out! I should be in good shape until, oh, 2024 or so. Beats a hairy back, I say. Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and had this conversation: Bride: There’s no reason for this to be in the paper! No one wants to read about stupid earwax! Me: What?! Huh?! Bride: I hate you.

Letter to the Editor Democrats must stay strong to stop Republicans After the disastrous mid-term elections, a strong resolve will be needed from Democrats, the Green Party, and all the 99 percent supportive activists. Our main efforts are to block Republicans’ continued greed legislation. Through the last six years, although the auto industry was saved and a cer-

tain recovery was made in the job market, the overall American individuals’ incomes and retirements and pensions have not recovered. I just have one question: How does the average American afford a new car, in which the average payments are $500 to $750 a month for six years? The economic collapse has been long and deep. Due to the last two years of Congressional Republicans’ vow to obstruct, I hope the people will encourage the president to veto 99 percent

of their legislation, and filibuster everything the very same way they have done Democrats. One good thing – this next two years will allow the Tea Party to show their true colors and their extremist agenda. I still believe the right wing politicians’ efforts of stealing from the poor the disabled and elderly to give to the corporations and the rich is not a Christian virtue to praise.

More died from 1918-19 influenza epidemic than WWI

veryone is concerned with the ebola situation today. Sweeping the world 96 years ago was “influenza.” In the U.S. 28 percent of Americans either got sick or died from the flu, and before it was all over 675,000 died. Worldwide between 20 and 40 million people died. Some estimates go higher. This was more people in one year than the Bubonic Plague killed in Europe from 1347 to 1351. The 1918-19 epidemic was called the “Spanish Flu” because early cases were noted in that country. Many readers of this column possibly know of a relative who succumbed to the disease in 1918. I have one, an aunt, LeEtta. She was eldest in a family of twelve children, of which my father was ninth. She had been a new bride a few months before her death. Both she and an unborn baby died. (Of course, I never met her. I had not been born in 1918 for goodness sake!) The nation first realized that this

THE

“influenza” was really bad when soldiers at a Camp Devens near Boston got sick in large numbers. People at first thought it was germ warfare instigated by the Germans with whom we were at war. Rumors spread that a greasy cloud floated over Boston Harbor and had the flu germs in it. Others claimed the Germans put something into aspirin that would kill people. So many soldiers died at Camp Devens that special trains carried away the dead. Bodies were stacked up like cordwood. Since my column is intended to be about Western History, let me relate conditions in 1918 in Fort Worth, the city where the West begins. In areas north, south, west, and southwest of the city army training camps existed. North in what later became Saginaw was Taliaferro Field. To the south in present Everman was Barron Field, and to the southwest in present Benbrook existed Carruthers Field. The government constructed these three fields for pilot training in the light-

weight JN 4, bi-planes called Jennys. Canadians trained there first, and then Americans, the latter beginning in April 1918. Then due west from downtown Fort Worth in what PAGES FROM later would beWESTERN come Arlington Heights, HISTORY located on the existJ’Nell L. Pate already ing Arlington Heights Boulevard, was Camp Bowie. It was named for the hero of the Alamo, Jim Bowie.

may explain my interest in Fort Worth's military history. I grew up being aware of it. With all these soldiers and airmen stationed in Fort Worth from late 1917 through 1918, influenza germs could spread rapidly. To combat it, commanders of the four bases issued orders telling the men to avoid public places like movie theaters and to keep their barracks well aired. Incoming troops were quarantined for two weeks, and spitting on floors was “strictly forbidden.” Orders also suspended all dances and other gatherings on military reservations nationwide. Despite these precautions, fully onethird of the soldiers at Barron Field caught the flu in the winter of 191819. Statistics at other local bases were similar. Nurses and doctors assigned to the bases worked sometimes twentytwo hours a day. They wrote letters home for sick soldiers, and occasionally wrote to say that a son or husband had died. Eighty-eight women served as nurses at Camp Bowie Hospital,

having been sent to Fort Worth from all over the country, even from Canada. A few were local women. All had graduated from hospitals of good standing. Including the local soldiers who succumbed to the flu, nationwide during World War I disease killed more soldiers than war injuries. Of all U.S. casualties, 66,751 were disease, while 48,909 soldiers were killed in action. In Fort Worth deaths were reported daily. Toward the end of the epidemic, it was news NOT to have had a death in the previous 24-hour period. In writing a summary of the 1918 influenza pandemic for a recent book, writer Gina Kolata cited two big differences between the 1918 flu and what might happen today. 1) Flu vaccines exist today. 2) Antibiotics make a huge difference. Kolata was writing only about the flu. Unfortunately, with ebola, these two reassurances aren't available yet. 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.

Letters to the Editor State textbook vote should be religion-free Dear Editor, The Texas State Board of Education (SBOE) will be voting on new textbook recommendations on November 21, 2014. People for the American Way and Texas Freedom Network are working together to make sure that textbook companies hear from as many Americans as possible before that date in an endeavor to avoid the passing of some outrageous standards in textbooks that will be presented for study in many United States schools…not just Texas schools. A quote from National Humanities Center, Department of History, University of Delaware says: “Most of the Founding Fathers believed that religion would promote public morality, which in turn would strengthen both the republic society and government in the United States. All of them strove to keep religion from becoming the fodder for controversy by affirming that expression of spirituality had a legitimate place in the public square while also upholding what they regarded as a due separation between church and state.” In my opinion, the operative words in this quote are “public square.” For some members of the SBOE to support and emphasize that the influence of Moses and the “Judeo-Christian tradition” on our nation’s founding and on Western political traditions should be part of social studies and history

textbooks defies the “public square” provision. The formulation of history and social studies textbooks should not be treated as a “public square” issue. In a treaty with the Muslim Barbary States during George Washington’s administration, the following was proclaimed, “As the government of the United States is not in any sense founded on the Christian religion, it has in itself no character of enmity against the laws, the religion or tranquility of the Mussulmen (Muslims).” I’m not a religion or history scholar, but I would hope that this treaty applied to all religions. My point is: Don’t propose that Christian biases be included in our children’s textbooks. Just write history as it is, and leave religion to be written by religious scholars. And be aware that there are political activists and individuals without social studies degrees or teaching experience on the SBOE. Judy Beeman Weatherford

Mr. Obama trying to ramrod immigrant vote

Now, usually, the president of this country is the standard bearer in this regard in every respect. But on Nov. 5 on national media, President Obama made a complete spectacle of himself by lobbing rhetorical missiles at the winning party (the Republicans). He waved his finger in their faces, saying, “If I don’t have an immigration reform bill on my desk by the majority of year’s end, I will act on my own.” This is nothing startling to the American populace. For six years now, Mr. Obama has been abrogating our checks and balances, circumventing through Congress his own fiat by executive privilege. Mr. Obama is further driving a political fissure into the maelstrom of acrimony that will keep our nation divided. On Nov. 6, a bipartisan luncheon held by the president for the winners and losers of the Congress was anything but bipartisan. Mr. Obama was unmoved by the shellacking his party took in the elections and reiterated again his willingness to grant by executive order full citizenship to illegal aliens. Any reasonable person can clearly see through the motives behind this dance the president is performing. The more illegals that Mr. Obama and his party can successfully get citizenship for is a plurality of votes for future elections for their liberal party. What an element of pathos to a once-respected country in the world.

Abbott, Patrick voted into top Texas posts

inners in the Nov. 4 general election on the whole proved that incumbency and/ or running as a Republican continue to be assets when Texas voters hit the polls. Democrats Wendy Davis and Leticia Van de Putte lost by wide margins to Republicans Greg Abbott and Dan Patrick for the offices of governor and lieutenant governor, respectively. In the Abbott-Davis race, the spread was 20 points: 59 to 39 percent. Similarly, the spread in the Patrick-Van de Putte race was 19 points: 58 to 39 percent. Incumbent U.S. Sen. John Cornyn, R-Texas, rebuffed Democratic challenger David Alameel, a Dallas businessman, by a 27 percent margin or 2.85 million votes to Alameel’s 1.59 million. Incumbents, regardless of party, exacted a near sweep in races for congressional seats. The exception was incumbent freshman U.S. Rep. Pete P. Gallego, D-Alpine, who lost massive Congressional District 23 stretching from El Paso to San Antonio by two percentage points (about 2,500 votes) to Republican Will Hurd of San Antonio.

Republicans to head agencies In the races to head state agencies, Republican state Sen. Ken Paxton of McKinney was elected attorney general, to replace Greg Abbott as the state’s Joseph L. Bryan chief law enforcement officer. Fort Worth Paxton, of McKinney, received nearly 59 percent of the vote to Democratic challenger Sam Houston of Houston, who received 38 percent.

Proposition 1 wins approval Finally, Proposition 1 on the statewide ballot — “The constitutional amendment providing for the use and dedication of certain money transferred to the state highway fund to assist in the completion of transportation construction, maintenance, and rehabilitation projects, not to include toll roads” — passed with 80 percent of the vote in favor and 20 percent against. Voter turnout figures normal Secretary of State Nandita Berry, the state’s chief elections officer, on Oct. 16 reported more Texans than ever had registered to vote: 14,025,441. About 4.7 million voters followed through and cast ballots in early voting or on election day last week. That’s a 33.57 percent turnout, a little lower than the previous comparable election, in November 2010.

Incumbent members of the State Board of Education retained their seats but in a race between non-incumbents for SBOE Dist. 13, Democrat Erika Beltran won, getting 90 percent of the vote to Libertarian Junart Sodoy’s 10 percent. Republican Konni Burton of Fort Worth won the race to succeed Wendy Davis in the state Senate Dist. 10 race, getting about 53 percent of the vote to Democratic opponent Libby Willis’s nearly 45 percent.

One exception was incumbent San Antonio Dist. 117 Rep. Philip Cortez, who with 47 percent of the vote lost to Republican challenger Rick Galindo’s 52 percent. Another incumbent Democrat, Rep. Mary Ann Perez of Dist. 144, which includes parts of Houston, Pasadena, Deer Park and Baytown, lost to Republican challenger Gilbert Pena by 1.31 percent of the vote. Notably, Republican House Speaker Joe Straus, in his race to retain the San Antonio House Dist. 121 seat, won against Libertarian Jeff Carruthers, 82 percent to 18 percent. Straus must receive the support of at least 76 of the next Texas Legislature’s 150 members to retain the speakership in the coming regular session convening in January.

ACS wins in 1st round The Azle Christian School Crusaders are back in familiar territory – the postseason. ACS (10-0) clubbed its foe in the first round of the playoffs, downing McKinney Cornerstone 53-8 in Texas Christian Athletic Fellowship competition. The Crusaders, ranked No. 1 in TCAF six-man and the favorite to win the state championship, was led by quarterback Joey Rosamond. He threw for 176 yards and 5 TDs on just 10 completions; Rosamond passed 12 times. Two of those scoring aerials went to Alex Schardt; he finished with 5 catches for 101 yards. He also added 5 PATs. Others hauling in TD passes were Oscar Diaz, Alex Coffey, and Jake Bartell. Defensively, Josh Crawford was the leading tackler, coach Gary Rushing said. Crawford was credited with 12 tackles and 3 sacks. He also returned a kickoff 70 yards for a score. Bartell had 10 tackles and 1.5 sacks while Rosamond tackled 9 McKinney ball carriers and got 2.5 sacks. Rushing said, “This was our best game of the year.” Next up is a semifinal clash against Weatherford Christian. While ACS thumped WCS earlier this year, Weatherford

Azle coach qualifies for Boston Marathon by mark k. campbell Qualifying for an elite race is no easy feat – and when that race is the Boston Marathon, it’s a big deal.

ementary. Marathoners know they need a pre-race “long run” and Boenisch padded out hers on a route that took her through and around Denver Trail, Park Street, Broadway, Ash, Oak Harbor, Snug Harbor, and Dunaway Lane. “The weekend long run was the most important,” she said. Boenisch said cross training also helped her prepare for the 26.2 mile distance. Why run? Not everyone understands the long distance runner. Boenisch said she runs for a variety of reasons. “Stress relief, health, to challenge myself, to have goals, friendships – there are too many reasons to run,” she said. Boenisch said she also runs “to encourage my children to believe in life-long fitness.”

Boston The Boston Marathon is annually run on Patriot’s Day, April 20 next year. And an Azle coach will be there.

Parker banks contest cash The final football contest of the year was a toughie. Almost all entries missed six games, several were off on five, and just two prognosticators erred on four games. The tie-breaker of Dallas 31, Jacksonville 17 (48) sorted

things out. The $20 first place winner with a guess of 54 was Steve Parker. Second place and $10 went to Kinny Pack whose tie-breaker guess was 55. Five contestants missed five games each.

Closest on the tie-breaker was Kyle Betz barely off at 47. Too far off were: Kevin Wilson (46); Debbie Leatherwood (41); Pat Frederickson (55); and Eddy Swanzy (58). The football contest returns for 2015 next August.

Ladies earn Alldistrict accoldes

JV, 9th football seasons conclude The 2014 football seasons ended for the JV and freshman football squads. The JV Green was edged by WF Rider 15-11. Azle scored when Dylan McBay threw 15 yards to Tyler Barnard on a reverse pass; Ricky Aregullin added 2 points on the PAT conversion out of “the gate” formation. Other offensive standouts: Ryan Leberg, Dakota Hutson, Justin Miller, and TJ Buenostro as well as center Jon Mark Castillo and guard Andrew Swan. The AHS D was led by Tyler

Stephens, Jordan Cartwright, and Micah Rogers. The 9th Green (6-4) also lost a close one to Rider, 19-18. Two fumbles inside the Rider 2-yard line doomed the Green. On the game’s first play, Jordan McNeely ran 66 yards to paydirt. Other offensive stars were Jake Norwood, Gamble Moore, Cameron Hering, Andrew Lutz, Dylan Temple, and Louis Lamorte. Topping the D were Cody Donnell, Cale McDonnell, Colby Christian, and Adam Brazell.

Azle Junior High Football The 8th A (6-3) year ended with a 14-12 loss to Highland. Despite stacking to stop the run, 2 Hornets had long TDs – Jacob Garcia (62 yards) and Ryan Reynolds (a 41-yard interception for a score). Behind 14-12 in the fourth quarter, Tyler Jenson ran 50 yards to inside the Highland 15. But the A couldn’t punch it in. Defensive standouts included

Kolton Van Gelder and Jaxon Koch. The 8th B (8-1) lost its first game of the season to undefeated Highland, 14-8. The B got a safety early. Later a Brady Campbell interception stopped a Hawk drive. AJH scored when Xavier Salsman ran over from the 38. Standouts: JJ Beck, Weston Pyle, Harley Humphries, and Scott Baird.

The Lady Hornets’ successful volleyball season – that saw Azle win 26 matches – ended in bi-district. Grapevine defeated AHS (26-14) in three games to win the bi-district contest held at Haltom High School Tuesday, Nov. 4. Eventually, all 5-5A squads were knocked out so the AllDistrict lists could be released – and plenty of Lady Hornets were on them. Taking top accolades was senior Brooke Smith; she earned a special honor – a “superlative” – by being named Server of the Year. Junior setter/outside hitter Sarah Campoli and sophomore libero Natalie Smith were picked to the elite First Team. In all, seven Azle players were honored. Even more AHS athletes scored high enough in the classroom for Academic All-District awards: B. Smith, N.

The Wildcats have speed, especially a trio of “go daddies,” as AHS coach Devon Dorris said. “They are really fast,” he said of the Dunbar QB, running back, and receiver. “Those three are faster than anyone we have.” The key to winning the bi-district clash will be to “contain,” Dorris said. “We have to make it an 11-on-11 game.” Look for the Fort Worth school to blitz often, meaning some possible losses for Azle but some big gain potentials, too, said Dorris.

Movie Man

Wednesday, November 12, 2014

Space movie look good but it’s no sci-fi classic It seems we’ve been mighty 2001: A Space Odyssey intensive lately and that’s certainly not going to change this week. That’s because Interstellar is trying very hard to be this generation’s 2001. And it ain’t by a long shot. About the film There are plenty of similarities in the two movies, intentional, of course. Both have long silent takes of objects, some tumbling, in space. Both use cutting edge technology. Music plays an essential role in 2001 and Interstellar. And both have a mindbending finale. However, there are huge differences. The argument can be made – and the Movie Man has made it often – that film is very, very seldom art. As you can imagine, the Movie Man has seen zillions of movies and almost none qualify as art. Well, 2001 is truly a work of art. Every viewing offers clues and symbols and motifs that can be arranged to address the varied concepts and ideals the Stanley Kubrick-directed classic presents. (To read a great interpretation of one part of the movie – the monoliths’ meanings – check out online a 1968 review by Roger Ebert “2001 – The Monolith and the Message.”) And what makes 2001 so astonishing is that, at the time (‘68), there had never been anything like it. Seeing the movie was an event, an evening out that inspired post-film conversation, analysis, and then repeated viewings. The movie was incredible for many other reasons – the classical music; the giant print size (70 mm [Interstellar had 250 of these] and, in some cases for lucky filmgoers in certain major cities in 1968, Cinerama [a gigantic curved screen in special theaters with multiple projectors]) its intentionally slow pace; the state-of-the-art special effects capped with a

what-the-what? conclusion that veered from psychedelic patterns to a man in a spacesuit in a bedroom to a baby floating in space [the “Star Child”]). 2001 was far from a hit when it was first released. In fact, in those days of fewer theaters, most owners were ready to pull the movie after just a couple of weeks – it was too long and many confused/bored audience members walked out. But not all. Some theatergoers came back again and again. So, some owners asked to keep the movie anyway. And it began to build. While it has never been a big moneymaker – even with re-releases – 2001 is like no other movie. Likely, you’ll hate it – especially if you try to watch it at home; even your giant TV won’t do it justice. But, if you ever get the chance to see it in its intended venue, you should not pass it up. There’s never been a movie like 2001 – sorry Interstellar. The plot (big spoiler) In the near-future, the earth is going down the drain. Crops are failing in the dusty world and soon there will be no food at all. Our species’ only hope is to find another planet to live on. Cooper (Matthew McConaughey) tries to convince his brainy 10-year-old daughter Murph (Mackenzie Foy) that there’s no ghost in her bedroom where falling books drift settling dust into curious patterns. A former pilot, McConaughey, with Foy’s help, discovers a hidden NASA facility where a rocket is being prepared to send some humans through a wormhole discovered 10 years ago. Probes launched earlier through the hole – left by kindly aliens, apparently – have found three potential earth-like worlds that could support human life. For McConaughey to leave, it’s unlikely he’ll return, and

Interstellar

Time waits for no one Starring: Matthew McConaughey, Anne Hathaway, Michael Caine Directed by: Christopher Nolan Rated PG-13 for: language and the dreaded “emotional intensity” email: movieman@azlenews.net

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man if he does, time will have advanced an unknown number of years. That distresses Foy and she grows up into sullen scientist Jessica Chastain while McConaughey and his crew – including Brand (Anne Hathaway) – find trouble in space. Eventually, a planet is reached by the two remaining crewmembers. However, the lone survivor on the icy orb, Dr. Mann (Matt Damon), is not what he seems. McConaughey is determined to get back to Foy and does – thanks to some metaphysical time warping and some multidimensional alien help that ties together earlier scenes. What works (spoiler) McConaughey is good as usual, mostly. He especially shines in the earthbound scenes early on. There are plenty of skilled big names that pop up like Michael Caine, John Lithgow, William Devane, Topher Grace, and an unrecognizable Ellen Burstyn. The effects, of course, are perfect. Apart from a gargantuan wall of water that swamps the spaceship on the first planet, there are some 2001 homages that shine, especially the entire secondary docking attempt – cue man and machine spinning in space – that doesn’t go well at all initially. The time-bending finale (that reminded the Movie Man of

the speedy doors conclusion of Monsters, Inc. [2001, Movie Man No. 428, a 7]) also is memorable. A late scene with Hathaway – alone on a distant planet, waiting patiently for another human to (hopefully) show up one day – is perfect.

Worldwide love: Area churches take part in Operation Christmas Child by Natalie Gentry

For the tenth year in a row, First Baptist Church Springtown will act as a relay center for Operation Christmas Child (OCC). Also, the week of Nov. 17-24 marks the fourth year that First Baptist Azle has collected shoeboxes for OCC – a program aimed at providing needy children all over the world with Christmas gifts. The project – organized by international Christian relief group Samaritan’s Purse – began in 1993 and, since then, has collected and delivered more than 113 million gifts to poverty-stricken children in more than 130 countries on six continents. Associate Pastor John Miller at First Baptist Church Springtown said the church itself usually creates between 150 and 200 boxes annually. Plus FBCS operates as a “relay center,” collecting boxes from other churches then conveying them to the Parker County collection center, North Side Baptist Church in Weatherford. Miller said, “When someone brings us a box or even several hundred boxes, we crate them in large boxes provided by Samaritan’s Purse specially designed for the shoe boxes.” PLEASE SEE CHURCHES, PAGE 3B.

Beauty & Boutiques Revive summer-ravaged skin, hair and feet As summer draws to a close, many people will reminisce about weeks spent relaxing and basking in the sun. Summer is typically full of fun, vacations and relaxation, but while the sun and surf may be refreshing for the mind, sometimes the body pays a price for all of those days spent soaking up some rays. Summer can be harsh on skin, feet, hair, and more. As the warm days wind down, practice some postsummer beauty tips to revive your skin, hair and feet.

Shop locally this holiday season Shopping is a big part of the holiday season, when families and friends gather to reconnect and exchange gifts. While the popularity of shopping online has grown, such practices are not always eco-friendly or timely, as gifts bought online must be packaged and shipped, wasting valuable resources and time that lastminute shoppers may not have. The benefits of shopping locally go beyond convenience and the chance to reduce your carbon footprint. The following are a few ways that shopping locally this holiday season can directly benefit your community and the people who call it home.

Uniqueness of gifts The gifts you buy when shopping locally also can benefit your community. Gifts purchased from small local businesses tend to be more unique than items bought from national chains, as smaller retailers tend to sell more homemade items than their national competitors.

to tear off portions of peeling, sunburned skin, the peeling is actually a natural part of the healing process and should not be disturbed. The dead skin acts as a protective layer while fragile, tender new skin grows underneath. Use a mild soap and lukewarm water when showering. Moisturizer can keep the damaged skin moist and make peeling less noticeable. Some have found that spraying the skin with a solution made of vinegar and water can reduce the itching associated with peeling skin. If any part of the skin does not heal or looks strange, visit a dermatologist.

Swimmer’s hair is another summertime phenomenon. Constant exposure to water and sunlight can leave the hair’s cuticles exposed and susceptible to damage. Leave-in conditioners may help counteract some of that damage. If that doesn’t work, speak to a stylist about what can be done to get hair looking healthy once again. He or she may suggest a fresh cut, new hair color and deep-conditioning treatments.

Churches take on world poverty n CHURCHES, FROM PAGE ONE.

Once the Springtown trailer is full, it heads to Weatherford. From there, the crates are hauled to a regional center; for the second year in a row, DFW is a designated center, Miller said. Wendy Wilson, secretary for First Baptist Church Azle, said they expect to see approximately 2,000 boxes while serving as a relay center this year. OCC is unique among holiday drives because it asks community members to fill shoeboxes with toys, school supplies, hygiene items, and notes of encouragement. Program organizers note that children living in desperate situations around the world, including natural disasters and wars, need to have hope that they are not forgotten and to feel loved. The shoeboxes make Christmas a reality for these children. According to the Samaritan’s Purse website, the organization hopes to collect enough shoebox gifts to reach another 10 million children in 2014. It is the largest Christmas ser-

vice project of its kind with gifts being collected by more than 500,000 volunteers in the United States, Australia, Austria, Canada, Finland, Germany, Ireland, Japan, New Zealand, Spain, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. Other donation options include packing a shoebox online – which can be done year round – or “adopting” a shoebox by paying the $7 shipping fee. Both of these options can be completed on the group’s www. samaritanspurse.org website. Although the gifts usually travel thousands of miles, OCC offers a way for participants to track their shoebox. By using the donation form found on the website, donors can receive an email telling them the country where their gifts are delivered. The relay center in Azle is First Baptist Church at 1017 Boyd Road. Donations in Springtown may be dropped off at First Baptist Church at 500 North Main Street. Volunteers will be available

during donation week to wrap and process all gifts. Shoeboxes and other donations can be dropped off at the churches through Nov. 24.

Industrial and construction workers, along with their families (second hand exposure) are among those at risk for mesothelioma, lung cancer or gastro cancer (throat, stomach, colon).
