AISD ALS Challenge

Azle man given 25 years for filmed sexual assault An Azle man was sentenced to 25 years in prison for aggravated sexual assault Monday, Aug. 25, in a Weatherford court room.

Andrew Murphy Howard, 30, was accused of videotaping the assault, during which he held a woman at knifeand gunpoint in November 2013.

Murphy pleaded guilty to the charge and accepted a plea bargain which the victim approved.

According to a press release issued by the Parker County District Attorney’s Office, the victim sustained a fracture near her eye socket and cuts and abrasions on her neck.

After the assault, Howard bound her with duct tape and put her in a closet, though he ultimately released her.

“Prior to this offense, this defendant

had no significant criminal record,” said Assistant District Attorney Nikki Rhodes, who prosecuted the case.

“Then, during a night of extreme alcohol abuse, he committed a heinous sexual crime which he videotaped.”

As soon as Howard released the victim, she reported the assault to the Parker County Sheriff’s Office.

Sheriff’s investigators arrested him the same day and he remained in jail until his plea in the 415th Judicial District Court last week.

“The victim was glad to be able to resolve this case without the necessity of a trial and be able to move forward with her life” Rhodes said. “This defendant will not be able to be released on parole until he has served half of his sentence.”

Azle’s water may taste, smell different due to algal bloom

To the delight of students, Azle Police detective Sgt. Kevin Rogers accepted the Ice Bucket Challenge Friday, Aug. 29, at Silver Creek Elementary. Principal Heidi Nelson dumped a bucket of ice water on Rogers, who in turn challenged the school to raise money for ALS next week. The class that raises the most money will accept the challenge Friday, Sept. 5, and will challenge another Azle ISD school.

It’s that bloomin’ time of year again.

Each year during the summer months, lakes and other surface water suppliers experience a natural event – an “algal bloom” – which can affect the taste and odor of tap water.

Algal blooms are common to surface water supplies in warm weather climate states like Texas.

But even if you do notice a difference in the taste and/or smell of your water, the City of Azle Water Department says the water is safe to drink.

According to the city’s website, several conditions must be present to cre-

ate an algal bloom.

First, nutrients such as nitrogen, phosphorous and calcium, all derived from decaying vegetation in the lake, must be present.

Next, lack of rain causes turbidity to lessen. That’s when the turbidity or cloudiness of the lake water has cleared up, allowing penetration of sunlight.

Finally, many hot summer days cause the lake’s temperature to increase. The optimum temperature range of the lake for algal bloom is between 80-85 degrees Fahrenheit.

When all these conditions are present, photosynthesis takes place and the algae grows or proliferates.

Algal species such as anabaena, secrete an “oily” substance from their cells that causes an odor in the water supply. Aquatic fungi – actinomycetes – grow on dead and decaying algae and cause an earthy taste in the water.

The city utilizes several steps to control the taste and odor produced by the algal blooms.

Laboratory personnel, through daily analysis, perform algal counts and can PLEASE SEE AZLE’S, PAGE 2A.

‘No Knock’ list may place limits on doorto-door solicitors by carla noah stutsman Roofing companies, magazine salespeople, electric service providers, pest control companies.

If you’re sick and tired of door-to-door solicitors, the City of Azle has taken some steps to help you out.

The Azle City Council approved amendments to the ordinance governing door-todoor solicitors during its regular meeting Aug. 26.

Perhaps the most important change contained within the measure is the creation of a “Do Not Solicit List” (also sometimes called a “No Knock List”).

Current regulations only prohibit solicitation at a residence or business that has a sign posted giving notice that solicitors are not welcome, such as “no solicitors.”

While such a sign should still be enough to keep solicitors away, residents and business owners alike now have the ability to register their address on the city’s Do Not Solicit List by going to the City of Azle website at http://www.cityofazle. org/ and clicking on “Register for No Knock list.”

The Do Not Solicit List will be available (by address only) on the city’s website and to any person upon request, and the building official will provide a copy of the list to each person issued a registration under the ordinance.

Minor changes to the ordinance include defining the term “building official” and changing the times and locations where soliciting is permitted to 9 a.m. to 9 p.m. or dark, whichever is earlier. Solicitation will not be allowed on Sundays or on federal holidays. Current regulations allow solicitation from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. every day.

Solicitors must register with the city, be approved, pay a $100 fee (as opposed to the current fee of $65), and all solicitors must wear a city-issued ID badge.

The city will no longer require solicitors to be bonded since that provision has never been used since the ordinance was created.

Also, churches, schools, civic and other nonprofit organiza-

tions are exempt from most of the requirements. They must, however, have a letter on file with the city, and they must adhere to the No Knock list.

If you believe someone is knocking on your door in violation of the ordinance, call the city’s code enforcement department at 817-444-4511.

PD budget adjustment By participating in Texas Department of Transportation’s Click It or Ticket program as well as its DWI enforcement campaigns during 2013, the Azle PD will be reimbursed in two separate grants in the amount of $3,000 each.

Interim Police Chief Darrell West requested a mid-year budget in the same amount to purchase eight on-body cameras for use by Azle officers.

“Vital evidence and suspect and witness testimony may be lost without the ability to record face-to-face interactions,” a council communicator said.

“In addition to evidentiary purposes, body cameras can be used to guard officers against false accusations of wrong-doing or assist in the investigation of officer complaints where the wrong-doing may be validated.”

Council members approved the measure unanimously.

During the same meeting, council addressed a number of other items: Crime District business Council reappointed Kathy Heath to Place 3 and Dr. Joe Bob Porter to Place 5 on the Crime Control and Prevention District

Azle’s Coomer wins 4-H award

Keep Texas Beautiful

Sarah Coomer of Azle received the American Youth Foundation “I Dare You” Leadership Award at the Parker County 4-H annual banquet Aug. 2, in Weatherford.

William H. Danforth’s book, I Dare You was first published in 1931. It is still considered one of the most influential books in the area of personal motivation.

The book is published and distributed by the American Youth Foundation through its “I Dare You” committee.

The award recognizes excellence in character, well-balanced personal development, and potential for leadership.

Coomer is the daughter of Derald and Nadine Coomer of Azle; the granddaughter of Derald and Naydine Coomer, also of Azle and Dale and Cecelia DeTarville of Wylie.

Coomer is a sophomore at Azle High School and has been involved in Parker County 4-H since 2007.

Womack steps down from CCPD post by carla noah stutsman Since Azle voters first approved the city’s Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) in May 2001, Jerry Womack has served on the district’s board of directors.

formed prior to the election.

He has declined – always graciously, always adamantly – annual nominations to serve as an officer on that board.

After 13 years of service on the board, Womack will step down from his post effective Sept. 1.

A farewell reception in his

honor will be held in Council Chambers at City Hall from 5:30-6:30 p.m. Thursday, Sept.

Citizens of Azle, friends and family are invited to attend and extend their appreciation for Womack’s dedicated service.

Sting Fling promises fun for all by carla noah stutsman In 2008, the 13-year-old tradition known as the Jumping Jack Jamboree was revamped into what is now the Sting Fling – the biggest fundraiser every year for the Azle Area Chamber of Commerce.

The name was not the only thing that changed that year.

The Jamboree was historically held on the second Saturday in September; in 2008, Sting Fling held off until the last Saturday in September.

But Sting Fling has been plagued by rains – sometimes torrential ones – for the past several years, so organizers have moved it back up to the second Saturday, Sept. 13.

“We’ve looked at historic weather reports and forecasts,” said Chamber Executive Director Beth Crowe.

“Right now, it looks like it will be sunny and hot – but we’ll take that for the 33 percent less chance of rain.”

Stink Fling will kick off with a new twist on its traditional 5K run.

At various checkpoints along the 5K route, runners will be showered with biodegradable, environmentally friendly, cornstarch-based colored powder – Kelly green for Hornets and pink for breast cancer awareness.

“By the time those runners reach the finish line, it’s a very colorful sight to see, and a great photo op,” laughed Crowe, who said the colors are washable, but can also be set into clothing permanently if the runner desires. “The 5K has taken a lot of extra effort and Shelli Price has done a phenomenal job coordinating all the details.”

The Chamber is proud to have the Careity Foundation on board for the 5K this year to bring more awareness to breast cancer.

Presenting sponsor for the 5K this

year is Ace of Azle; warm-up sponsor is Longhorn Crossfit; and the trophy sponsor is Joseph McCreary, DDS. Registration is $20 per runner.

However, students may enter at a discounted rate of $15.

As always, the Azle school with the highest participation will receive a $200 scholarship toward its physical education program, Crowe said.

The Annual Sting Fling Parade begins at 9 a.m. on Central Drive behind the AISD Bus Barn.

The route will work its way clockwise, turning right on Locust Street, right on Main Street, right on Industrial Avenue and finally right back onto Central Drive, where it will end at its starting point.

The ever popular Weiner Dog Derby is slated to start a little later this year – at 11 a.m. – to ensure people and parade participants have enough time to get there.

Rose Construction will provide sand for the race as it has in years past.

Indoor entertainment begins inside 404 Main Place at 11 a.m., starting with the Encore School of Dance.

Then at noon, it’s I’ve Got Talent on the 404 Main Place stage. The highly-anticipated talent competition will take up much of the afternoon, giving festival-goers a nice break from the outdoor heat.

The Annual Sting Fling Classic Car Show powered this year by Christian Brothers Automotive, will be held in front of Azle Elementary – the Rock School – from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m.

Kids of all ages will be excited about the children’s area, which will extend onto the Rock School property this year.

“This year there will be an Ama-

zon Zipline, a Pirate Ship bounce house, a dual-lane, 24-foot blowup slide, and the Chug-A-ChooChoo bounce house,” Crowe said.

“Plus, we have additional children’s vendors like the Stinger Express, a trackless train kids can ride, Hunger Games-inspired archery, and Yesterday Once More with their rag dolls and corn husk dolls.”

In addition to all that, Crowe said, the Boy Scouts will be doing a regatta as well as Dutch oven cooking demonstrations, and the Texas Association of Future Educators (TAFE) will host a car-smashing booth.

“Vendors with everything from jewelry, home décor, arts and crafts and health-related items will be behind 404 Main Place as always, as well as in the front parking lot where the Classic Car Show used to be,” Crowe said.

“This year there’s even a vendor with tactical equipment.”

Sting Fling committee members for the 2014 event include Cindy Willeford, Karen Kidd, David Schickedanz, Regina Stokes, Shadi Sutton, Shelli Price, Shireen Dixon, Todd Smith, Melissa Douglas, Randa Goode, Cat Schlueter, Susie Hiles, Veronica Rios and Crowe.

“This committee has worked really hard and they’ve put their hearts and souls behind it,” Crowe said. “I really think this group has done a good job at motivating one another and being the force behind the community this year.”

“Getting the community to jump in and celebrate it has been a great undertaking and they’ve done a great job,” she continued.

“They really do embody Azle Pride.”

The popular Weiner Dog races have been bumped back this year to allow for more viewers to see the fun.

Rotary Club’s dictionary program turns 10 years old by mark k. cambpell Ken Haas, an original member of the Azle Rotary Club dating back to 1974, is again spearheading a popular program that is now 10 years old.

Annually since 2004, Rotarians fan out over the Azle school district and give every third grader their own hard copy dic-

On Monday, Sept. 29, children at three AISD elementary schools will receive dictionaries from visiting Rotarians: Liberty (8:45 a.m.), Walnut Creek (9:15), and Cross Timbers (9:45).

The next day, club members will visit Eagle Heights (8:45) and Silver Creek (9:30).

tionary.

Sometimes, that dictionary is the only book that child might own.

After the Rotary Club meeting of Aug. 26, members tagged the books and prepared them for distribution.

The dictionaries are set to be delivered on consecutive days.

Monica Miller, Azle ISD finance director, is making the rounds locally telling organizations about the efforts to make the HEART program citywide. HEART is a concerted effort to be more customer friendly and has already been adopted by the school district, the city, the chamber, and Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle.

Rotarians Bobby Boyd (left) and Del Mully prepare dictionaries for their annual delivery later this month.

Azle ISD superintendent Dr. Ray Lea said that enrollment is up over 160 students this school year. That “rare growth” means not only another $1 million to the district but the hiring of additional teachers.

There is not a thank you card large enough that could express our feelings to our community for the love and appreciation shown to our family during this difficult time. Your expressions of love were so overwhelming and will never be forgotten. He touched so many lives. He truly was one of a kind -- a God send. Thank you does not seem quite enough. We always knew he was a special man and loved people, and that love was returned to our family from you. We know Johnnie looked down from heaven with a smile on his face. Thank you to all the churches who came together as one in unity to help with such a huge loss --- OUR LOSS, BUT HEAVEN’S GAIN! Thank you for helping serve food, visiting, comforting one another, helping with phones, etc. It just goes to show that when we all work together, God can receive great glory. We are so blessed to live in a community who shares God’s love.

Love to you all, The Conway Family

OPINION

Wednesday, September 3, 2014

Don’t you be gettin’ nekkid in Azle This column is rated a hard PG-13 for all you prudes out there (you know who you are). eware of droppin’ trou in Azle.

On Aug. 26, the city council “passed and approved on First and Final reading” paperwork to “clarify state of nudity in Section 3 of the Zoning Ordinance.”

It’s not everyday that you see words like “genitals,” “pubic region,” and “human buttock” in council communiques.

Nudity was redefined at the meeting to keep abreast of sexually oriented businesses that “lend themselves to ancillary unlawful and unhealthy activities.”

I’m a child ON YOUR of the 1960s MARK and 1970s, and we considered Mark K. Campbell clothing kind of a hassle back in the day (except bell bottoms).

I literally went to a class at UT-Austin in the spring of 1975 wearing nothing but a pair of cut-off Levi shorts – no shirt, no shoes, no problem.

I could come to work that way, I guess, provided my 501s are not opaque. The ordinance defines nudity as: less than completely covered and opaquely covered.

Here’s the list of the body parts which the edict says must be covered (and you thought council meetings were boring!): human genitals, pubic region; pubic hair; “all portions of a female breast, below a point immediately above the top of the areola,” and, of course, the human buttock.

Also: “any combination” of the above is verboten. (The council should avoid vacationing in Playa del Carmen.)

And all that’s just the first page! (It gets way more boring from there, with a slew of whereases and long lists of court cases.)

Just in case you decide to get tricky by using “body paint, body dyes, tattoos, liquid latex, whether wet or dried, and other similar substances,” forget it. They’re all prohibited.

All this is directed at sexually oriented businesses’ “adverse effects on surrounding property values.” I haven’t frequented such a business since the old Eagle Drive-In days decades ago.

Violating the ordinance could cost you $2,000.

Let’s face it – most people don’t look that great naked. But that doesn’t keep people from shucking duds and frolicking about sometimes.

No more streaking! Or skinny-dipping! At least near strip joints.

Now that I live in the country and it’s 1,000 degrees for months on end, clothing becomes a true bummer.

Also, I am taking the back-to-nature/ Green approach by dousing poison ivy every morning via, well, a man-made stream. (It works!)

That effort can require the exposure a human buttock, of which I personally own two. So some sort of “combination” – clearly in violation of the ordinance – is required in my never ending quest to rid the countryside of the tri-leafed scourge.

However, I’m improving my property value, I’d say.

Crafting your powerful ‘Yes’

Phillips brothers began small, created worldwide Phillips 66

A

couple of weeks ago I drove with my brother and his daughter to northern Arkansas about some land. My niece purchased some souvenirs, and we noticed a lot of Route 66 items. (I-40 takes over much of what once was the famous crosscountry, east-west Route 66.) When I saw a Phillips 66 gasoline sign– one of the credit cards in my purse – I wondered aloud if the “66” had anything to do with the old Route 66. My niece promptly took out her iPad and looked it up. Before I tell you what we learned, and what I researched further, let me tell you about Frank and L. E. Phillips.

Frank, the oldest of eleven children, was born in Nebraska in 1873 where his parents owned a farm. Grasshoppers ruined their crop the next year, so his parents moved to another farm in Iowa. When he was a youngster Frank got a job with local farmers to dig potatoes for ten cents a day. Of course, he did his chores at home first. Then when he was fourteen, he became an apprentice to a barber. Ten years later he owned three barber shops.

Frank married a banker's daughter and began working for his fatherin-law. He traveled around selling bonds. On his travels he encountered a friend from Iowa who had become a Methodist missionary to the Osage Indians west of Bartlesville in Indian Territory. An oil boom had just begun.

With the help of his banker father-inlaw and his brother Lee Eldas, Frank began Anchor Oil & Gas Company in Bartlesville in 1905.

A first well struck oil; the next two were dry. Then number four was a gusher. After it, came 80 consecutive producing wells. The two brothers also

began a bank in Bartlesville.

Because Frank preferred banking to oil, he convinced his brother in 1916 that the instability of the boom or bust oil business was too risky. He would PAGES FROM prefer to own a WESTERN chain of banks.

Before they HISTORY could sell out J’Nell L. Pate their oil business, World War I erupted in Europe. The price of oil rose from 40 cents a barrel to over a dollar. They decided to stay in the oil business and to consolidate everything into one company, which they named Phillips Petroleum Company. Chartered in 1917, the new company had assets of $3 million. They employed 27 workers and held oil leases in both Oklahoma and Kansas.

Frank, president of the company, once told employees, “Work hard and demonstrate loyalty, and I'm a great guy to work for.” He implied that if they didn't do that, he might not be so nice. He served as president until 1939, when he was 65. He remained Chairman of the Board for ten more years, and died at age 77 in 1950.

L. E. Phillips, born in 1876, joined his brother as vice president in the oil business and became a real estate developer and community leader in Bartlesville, Oklahoma. He served on various bank boards and associations.

During World War I he managed the Red Cross and Liberty Loan cam-

paigns for Oklahoma. In poor health for several years, he died in 1944.

In 1927 the Phillips brothers began selling gasoline and wanted a brand name that would be easy to remember. The story the company tells is that two Phillips employees were road testing the company's new gasoline on the highway near Tulsa. One said that the car was running “like sixty.” The driver checked the speed and replied, “Sixty nothing. We're doing 66.”

The men and the automobile just happened to be traveling on the wellknown U.S. Highway 66: Route 66.

When the men related the story to company executives, they liked it.

Their brand logo thus became a shield similar to the road signs on the original Route 66. Their first Phillips 66 station opened November 19, 1927 in Wichita, Kansas. When introduced in 1930, the sign was black and orange.

Not until 1959 did it change to the red, white, and black shield that remains today.

In 2002 Phillips 66 merged with Conoco and became Conoco Phillips. They kept using the Phillips 66 brand, but also marketed Conoco, and the 76 brand. Then in 2012 Phillips 66 separated from Conoco. Phillips 66 owns 15 refineries with a capacity of 2.2 million barrels a day. In 1914 it ranks No. 6 on the Fortune 500 list and has approximately 13,500 employees world-wide and is active in more than 45 countries. Its corporate offices currently are located in Houston.

All this is pretty good for the activities begun by of a couple of farm boys from Iowa, one of whom started out earning ten cents a day digging potatoes.

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.

t really is an epidemic! I got a lot of response from last week’s Life Matters, in which I talked about protocols for helping those with Hand Raising Syndrome (HRS) and No-Noitis (NNI) learn to say “No” without regret. One reader even made a point of calling me to thank me.

I announced then that this week’s edition would be addressing protocols for those suffering from AGD (Ain’t Gonna Do it) or HOS (Happy On the Sidelines), both of which result in a perpetual “no.”

AGD and HOS are not healthy “no” responses.

Symptoms include loss of passion, vision, and clarity, usually resulting from longterm exposure LIFE MATTERS to low-trust, h i g h - g u i l t , Gerry Lewis performancebased atmospheres where contributions are measured, not valued. Many once suffered from HRS or NNI and never learned to say “no” without regret. As a result, they burned out, adopted a perpetual “no,” and became observers instead of participants in the adventure of life.

The protocols for addressing these are not about identifying “yes” activities, but about crafting YOUR powerful “YES.” I mean one driven by your identity, not by external requests. Jesus gave a key to responding to requests, when He said, “Just say a simple, 'Yes, I will,' or 'No, I won't.'

Anything beyond this is from the evil one.” (Matthew 5:37) Here are 3 questions to help you craft your powerful “Yes.” 1. The Vision Question: “What do I want my life to look like in 5 years?”

You may say, “I don’t know what will happen to me in the next 5 years.”

That is symptomatic thinking. Life is not about what happens to us, but how we respond to what happens to us and making choices that lead us toward our vision. So, begin asking, “What deliberate choices do I need to make today that will increase the likelihood of achieving my 5-year vision? What will I regret NOT doing if I haven’t done it in the next 5 years?”

2. The Passion Question: “What matters most to me?” What keeps you up at night? I don’t mean your worries; I mean the things you dream about when awake…that get your adrenaline pumping…that you would do full-time if you had unlimited resources…that incorporate your deepest values. That question led me to craft my personal mission statement: “I am an intentional explorer, seeking to bless, encourage, and empower others on their journey of faith.”

3. The Legacy Question: “How do I want to be remembered?” When your life’s journey is completed, what do you want people to say about you?

When you meet God face-to-face, what do you want Him to say about you?

Our lives matter so much to God that He will help us craft our powerful “Yes.” Psalm 37:4 says, “Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart.” That doesn’t mean He will give us our selfish desires, it means our desires will develop out of our delight in Him.

School finance system ruled unconstitutional

W

hen the T e x a s Legislature convenes on Jan. 13, 2015, lawmakers will have the job of revising the state’s school finance system, again.

This task was made necessary on Aug. 28, when state District Judge John Dietz ruled the current finance system violates these four state constitutional standards: the state property tax prohibition and the education clause requirements of adequacy, suitability, and financial efficiency.

In his 400-page ruling, Dietz pointed out that the Legislature is constitutionally required to “structure, operate and fund” a public school system that achieves a “general diffusion of knowledge” and that “children who live in poor districts and children who live in rich districts must have a substantially equal opportunity to have access to educational funds.”

The case was brought in Oc-

tober 2012. Plaintiffs, to whom the court granted relief, are: The Texas Taxpayer & Student Fairness Coalition, et al.; Calhoun County ISD, et al.; Edgewood ISD, et al.; Fort Bend ISD et al.; and Texas Charter School Association, et al.; and Intervenors Joyce Coleman, et al. Defendants are Michael Williams, Commissioner of Education, in his official capacity; Susan Combs, Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts, in her official capacity; and Texas Board of Education.

Education Commissioner Williams reacted, saying, “Regardless of the ruling at the district court level, all sides have known this is an issue that will again be resolved by the Texas Supreme Court.”

Dismissal order is sought Gov. Rick Perry’s legal team on Aug. 26 submitted a 60-page document seeking dismissal of a Travis County grand jury’s Aug. 15 two-count indictment of the governor on felony charges of abuse of office and coer-

cion of a public servant.

T h e document, an application to the 390th Travis County Judicial STATE Court for a preCAPITAL trial writ HIGHLIGHTS of habeas Ed Sterling c o r p u s , contains arguments in support of the governor’s veto of the 20142015 budget of the state’s Public Integrity Unit, a division of the Travis County District Attorney’s Office. Perry said he would veto the division’s budget unless District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg, a Democrat, resigned from office after she was arrested for drunken driving in April 2013. Lehmberg refused to resign and Perry carried out the veto, prompting

the grand jury indictment.

The conclusion portion of the application for a pre-trial writ of habeus corpus asserts, “continued prosecution of Governor Perry on the current indictment is unprecedented, insupportable, and simply impermissible” and suggests the court “should not hesitate to dismiss both counts of the indictment and bar the prosecution immediately, if not sooner.” Also, the conclusion portion states “it is not fault of the court that it has been asked to intrude on a political dispute.”

Panel to study ethics laws Texas House Speaker Joe Straus and Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst on Aug. 22 announced appointees to a new Select Interim Committee to Study Ethics Laws, in accordance with Senate Bill 1773 passed by the Legislature in 2013.

The committee will study “the effectiveness of laws and regulations related to ethics, including campaign finance, lobby laws and personal finan-

cial disclosure laws,” Dewhurst said.

Straus said, “Sound ethics laws can help build and maintain public confidence in government. I trust the members of this committee to give those laws a thorough review and recommend ways to make our system more transparent and accountable to citizens.”

Sen. Joan Huffman and Rep. Sarah Davis, both Houston Republicans, will co-chair the committee.

Lowest-yet interest rate State Comptroller Susan Combs on Aug. 26 announced the sale of $5.4 billion in oneyear Texas Tax and Revenue Anticipation Notes, and those notes received a record-low interest rate of 0.1326 percent.

The previous low was 0.2008 percent in 2013.

“The best ratings from Wall Street ratings firms and strong demand for Texas notes helped drive down the borrowing cost,” Combs explained. Money from TRAN sales is used to

help fund expenditures such as public school payments early in the fiscal year and manage cash flow between the start of the fiscal year and the arrival of tax revenues later in the year.

Extra caution is advised Texas Department of Public Safety on Aug. 22 reminded drivers to watch out for children walking to and from school or waiting for school buses.

Also, drivers who illegally pass school buses face fines up to $1,250 for a first offense.

A ticket for illegally passing a school bus cannot be dismissed through defensive driving.

DPS Director Steven McCraw said, “Individuals who illegally pass stopped school buses endanger our children, and DPS officers will not tolerate drivers who break the law and put others in harm’s way.”

Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

Azle crushes Granbury, 69-7 Opener almost flawless

by mark k. campbell The Hornet football team made a statement in the season opening game Aug. 29.

With Granbury visiting, only a long TD run early by a Pirate and some late-game scuffles marred a near-perfect effort from Coach Devon Dorris’ squad.

“I was pleased with our effort and performance,” the coach said. “We finished them off.

Still, we have a few things to correct.

“But it was great, overall.”

Azle, before a large, vocal crowd, got on the board first, previewing a hurry-up offense.

Dorris said, “We’ll get uptempo when we want, and we’ll repeat it if we have success.”

That speedy O resulted in the first of 10 touchdowns, a 13yard run by quarterback Jamie King.

After Pirate Brenden King raced outside for a 77-yard score, the Hornet defense clamped down.

And, while the brakes were on the Pirates, the Hornet offense took off.

Azle scored twice more in the first quarter, added two scores in the second period, then The closest player to Hornet Jamie King is a teammate who congratulates the AHS QB before the senior crosses dashed Granbury with another the goal line early in Azle’s 69-7 romp over Granbury in the season opener.

Photo by Mark K. Campbell trio of TDs in the third quarter.

By the time the late-game emotions were tamed and the gun sounded, AHS had put up some impressive numbers.

Hornets rushed for 501 yards and almost scored 70 points – only a blocked PAT stopped that.

Dorris said he could not recall the last time an Azle team rushed for 500 yards and/or scored 69 points.

QB King was in control all night, rushing for 131 yards on just 9 totes and throwing a pair of TD passes.

AHS’ top rusher was Chase Smith who piled up 139 yards and sat out the second half.

Trey Ramos, who shone defensively with an early interception and several tackles, almost gained 100 yards rushing, too.

Division I prospect linebacker Johnny Crow led the team with 10 tackles; Marshall Gilbreath recorded 7 solo stops It was the kind of opener that instills confidence in a club.

But Dorris cautioned: “Not all of our games are going to be this easy.”

Still, the game served as a mighty shout out to fellow district mates that this Azle team has come to play – and plans on winning every week.

Ladies third in Euless, Smith All-Tournament The Lady Hornets headed to the Trinity Double T Tournament and came away with third place honors.

Azle (15-7) faced a trio of top teams in the first round of play Friday, Aug. 29.

AHS defeated Irving in three sets, 18-25, 23-25, 16-25.

However, the Lady Hornets tumbled to the hosts 15-25, 2426, 11-25 and to Granbury 20-

ACS wins big at home Two old coaches – once on the same team then rivals – faced off again when Azle Christian School hosted Bryson in the 6-man football season opener for each.

Crusader leader Gary Rushing and Bryson’s Billy Reed coached together for years in Springtown before Rushing came to Azle to face Reed’s Porcupines for years.

Today, both helm smaller squads.

Azle Christian (1-0), the preseason No. 2 club in its class in Texas, crushed the visitors 480; the 45-point rule ended the contest at halftime.

Quarterback Joey Rosamond was a powerhouse once more as he completed 16 of 25 passes for 220 yards and 5 touchdowns.

Jake Bartell shone on both sides of the ball, Rushing said.

The Crusader caught 7 passes for 120 yards and 2 TDs while carding 2 sacks among his 7 tackles defensively.

Rushing said, “Jake also had several big hits during the game.”

Defensive back Alex Schardt picked off 2 Bryson passes, returning one 80 yards for a TD. On offense, he scored 2 TDs on receptions.

Other standouts, Rushing

25, 21-25, 15-25.

That set the stage for the following day and Azle started strong.

At 10:45 the morning of Aug. 30, Azle steamrolled Duncanville, 25-19, 25-20, 25-20.

Next came a thrilling win over Abilene, 25-23, 19-25, 2523, 27-25.

In Azle’s last contest at 5:30 that afternoon, the Lady Hor-

nets popped Haltom 25-14, 2522, 25-16.

The victorious Saturday propelled AHS to third place overall.

Azle’s standout Brooke Smith was named to the AllTournament team and earned a medal.

The hosts won the event with AHS’ 5-5A rival Wichita Falls Rider finishing second.

Several Lady Hornets were key to victories.

In the second set against Duncanville, Smith had 6 digs and 4 kills while Rachel Walker and Sarah Campoli dug out 3 balls each.

Smith served a trio of aces in the clincher over Duncanville.

Azle played exceptional defense against Abilene.

In game one, Rachel Walker

dug out 7 balls, Campoli 6, and Kaitlyn Ford 5.

Natalie Smith had 10 digs in game two and 15 in game four to thwart Abilene.

Against Haltom, Mallory Kay had 2 kills in game 1, Ford dug out 12 in game 2, and Brooke Smith killed 5 balls in the third contest.

Azle has two more road games scheduled before finally

coming back home.

Those trips send AHS to Cleburne (Sept. 2) and Crowley (Sept. 5).

At long last, the Lady Hornets return to the friendly confines of the AHS gym to face Grandview Sept. 9.

Then, it’s time for district play, and Azle starts with a crucial match right off the bat – at WF Rider Sept. 12.

First football contest in books The first football contest of the year is always a tough one and this one proved to follow that trend.

Still, one contestant managed to miss just two games to win the first place $20 cash outright.

That entrant was John Hagerman who missed only Springtown beating Decatur and Weatherford topping Lubbock Coronado.

Several other prognosticators missed three games, engaging the tie-breaker of Texas 38, North Texas 7 (45).

Of the quintet that missed four games apiece, the one closest to the 45 tie-breaker was Jacob Davis; he took the $10 second place award with a guess of 53 points.

Third place went to Kevin Wilson whose card with 54 on the tie-breaker earned him $5.

Too far off on the tie-breaker were Jerri Hagerman (56), Terry Vogel (62), and Geraldine Daniels (63).

Almost every contestant predicted that Weatherford could not stay with Lubbock CoronaJake Bartell (7) leaves a Bryson defender grabbing air. Azle Christian School won its opener easily over the Cow- do and few had faith in Springboys, 48-0, to begin the season with a victory over a public school six-man team.

Next up RED OAK

The Hawks have new coaches, so new that the staff wasn’t assembled in time for Red Oak to have spring drills.

The Hornet-Hawk clash is the first of three games in the annual Dale Hansen Classic in Waxahachie. “They have talent,” AHS coach Devon Dorris said. “They are young.”

Expect the game to get some hype on Channel 8.

“It’s a neat occasion,” Dorris said.

Azle runs strong early

Cross Country BURLESON ELK RUN Chisenhall Park August 29, 2014

The rain fell early on Friday, Aug. 29 – so much so that a low-water crossing that is a major part of the annual Elk Run in Burleson was rushing with calf-deep flow.

That precipitation forced not only a brief postponement of the cross country race schedule in Chishenhall Park but an altering of the route, too.

Still, even over mostly hard surfaces, the boys team shone.

Coach Keith Boenisch said, “We ran very well. The course was 30 seconds longer due to rerouting from rain. We ran faster than last year in both the varsity and the JV.” Julian Hernandez led the varsity with a time of 17 minutes, 57 seconds, good for 12th place.

as runners-up.

Four other Hornets crossed the mucky finish line before the 19 minute mark.

As a team, Azle trailed only Fort Worth Country Day. And the AHS boys JV won as well.

Coach Boenisch said, “We were the best 5A school at the meet. The guys are excited about the future and so am I.”

The Lady Hornets also turned in fine times, to finish fourth overall.

Crystal McConnell was Azle’s top racer, taking 18th overall.

The girls JV finished third.

Next up for the squads is a fundraising run at Hornet Field Sept. 5.

Movie Man

Wednesday, September 3, 2014

CG-free November is a 1970’s spy throwback There are plenty of actors who cobble together successful careers, following a nowtraditional path – struggle early, move up on the ladder a bit, hit it big, then fade late career.

Pierce Brosnan is one of those.

About the film Brosnan’s path to success – he is 61 – began from humble made-for-TV movie beginnings to a hit TV show starting in 1982, Remington Steele, with a role in a cult sci-fi/horror movie, Nomads (1986), mixed in.

He soon ran into a situation not unlike Tom Selleck. Like the famous Hollywood tale where Selleck was wanted to play Indiana Jones but could not get out of his Magnum, P.I. contract, Brosnan was approached to play James Bond in The Living Daylights in 1987.

NBC had already cancelled Steele so Brosnan was ready to replace Timothy Dalton as Bond.

But NBC wavered on Steele’s cancellation then renewed the detective show at the last minute. So Brosnan as Bond had to wait.

Before Goldeneye his first Bond movie in 1994, Brosnan made another cult sci-fi/ horror hit, The Lawnmower Man (1992, famed for its cutting edge computer graphics, all 8 minutes of them) then the popular Mrs. Doubtfire (1993, Movie Man No. 18, a ‘+’ back in the pre-numbering days, actually an 8) in which he played the new man in Sally Field’s life.

Finally, Goldeneye (MM# 102, 7) arrived and Brosnan began his most productive stretch.

That initial Bond was followed by a moderate part in a Barbra Streisand (then Hollywood hot) movie, The Mirror Has Two Faces, a wacky Tim Burton retro throwback, Mars Attacks!

(1996, MM#158, 6; Brosnan is one of a slew of top-named ac-

tors to die), and the hit volcano disaster movie in 1997, Dante’s Peak (MM #166, 6 – that’s one notch higher than the other volcano movie of the spring, Volcano [MM #178, 5]).

Between his three other Bond movies – Tomorrow Never Dies (1997, the Movie Man checked out Titanic [MM #212, 8] the week Tomorrow came out), The World Is Not Enough (1999, MM #316, 7), and Die Another Day (2002, MM #487, 7, “the Halle Berry one”) – Brosnan made the critical favorite The Tailor of Panama (2001, a spy movie) and a very good remake of The Thomas Crown Affair (1999, he’s a thief).

Amid his usual hit men and spies as he aged, Brosnan surprised with the unexpected hit Mamma Mia! (2008). Since then, he’s kept busy, but he has been in no major successes for years.

(That could change in the future should an Expendables 4 be made; he’s rumored for that, but Ex 3 [MM #1101, 5 and sinking fast at the box office] might’ve killed the series.)

The November Man is not a hit, but it’s a throwback to the Old School espionage/spy movies of the 70’s – classics like Three Days of the Condor (1975) and Marathon Man (1976).

November isn’t nearly as good as those, but it has its moments – and that was nice to see.

The plot (it’s kinda convoluted – also: spoilers) Devereaux (Brosnan) is an aging CIA man. He’s contacted by an old agency pal, Hanley (Bill Smitrovich) to work one more case.

An agent has discovered a person whose revelation can change the upcoming Russian presidential election and, hence, the flow of power in the world. Brosnan is charged with getting that agent safely out.

The November Man Spy games Starring: Pierce Brosnan, Luke Bracey, Olga Kurylenko Directed by: Roger Donaldson Rated R: everything email: movieman@azlenews.net

6 ... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man It does not go well. So, when Brosnan wreaks revenge on Moscow streets, he comes face to face with a younger man he once trained then washed out, Mason (Luke Bracey).

The race is on between the Russians, the CIA (led by Bracey), and Brosnan to find the woman who holds the key to everything. Brosnan beats them to a go-between, Alice (Olga Kurylenko), and they are constantly being set upon, barely escaping.

In Belgrade, Brosnan finally pieces together what’s going on, and, with Kurylenko, discover a CIA secret they did not expect. Neither did Bracey.

But Brosnan’s in a bad way when a family member gets kidnapped. The essential intel is discovered, but it may have to be eradicated in a trade-off.

Things work out so that that does not have to happen.

What works Brosnan is super – all squinty eyed and serious enough that you believe it when he says he’ll kill you. (Plus there’s that unconscious Bond connection with the audience.)

Director Roger Donaldson, who also directed Dante’s Peak, forgoes the computer generation route of fake explosions and car crashes and uses the real thing. It was nice to see a thinking-man’s “action”

movie again.

He also darkens the movie, making it look more 70’s with a resemblance to old film stock.

That 70’s vibe continues with the twists and turns the story makes – even if cell phones and flash drives fill in for old phone booths and microfiche.

Most of the other actors are not familiar and that helps the story line. Will Patton is the only other guy normal moviegoers will recognize.

Bracey did in Moscow, snatches the woman from Bracey’s bed and holds her hostage at the kitchen table.

Brosnan forces Bracey to make a decision – save his new lover or capture/kill Brosnan.

It’s the strongest scene in the movie.

Summing up Brosnan and the old style of filmmaking made November What doesn’t work better than recent spy thrillers.

The biggie here is that But it’s not one you’ll rememKurylenko finally has the evil ber the next day.

Russian presidential-hopeful in her clutches and can quickly Next up kill him, yet doesn’t. (It’s the The Movie Man might hunt ol’ eye-rolling, too-well-worn down Boyhood. trope “can’t pull the trigger” syndrome.) It’s completely unbelievable.

There are some lines of dialogue that are so bad they stick out.

Watson named new ESD1 fire chief after serving as interim since May

By Natalie Gentry Stephen Watson, newly appointed fire chief of Parker County Emergency Services District Number 1 (ESD 1), said he is up for the challenges of the role after being appointed by the Board of Commissioners in mid-August.

“I’m excited,” he said. “I think it will be challenging.”

The new budget is scheduled for approval Sept. 6.

“We are also gearing up for an Insurance Services Office (ISO) inspection in December and hope to maintain or improve our ratings,” Watson said.
