Fire destroys Azle teacher’s home BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN John and Melody Myers of Azle were not at their home on High Ridge Drive southwest of Azle Wednesday, Nov. 27 – the day before Thanksgiving – when it caught fire. And although their home is a total loss, the Myers say they are still thankful. “It’s just numbing, and unless you’ve ever experienced something like this, you don’t realize – well, you just don’t know what to do,” Melody Myers said almost a week after the fire. She is a well-known teacher at Cross Timbers Elementary School in Azle. Myers said their insurance is providing a travel trailer for them to set up on their property while they rebuild, but if the mountain of paperwork required is any indication, rebuilding will be a long process. Still, Myers says she and her husband are blessed. “Our family and friends who have stepped up to help us are too many to name, and my co-workers – oh, my co-workers have just been amazing,” Myers said. “We just couldn’t let the Red Cross come in to help us, beFirefighters from Willow Park and Aledo, above, work to put out a blaze that destroyed the home of cause there are so many people who John and Melody Myers of Azle the day before Thanksgiving.

The parade After enjoying hot cider and homemade cookies provided by the Azle Optimist Club and the museum, floats and businesses vie for awards as they give their best to the yearly theme. Among the honors for floats: Most Christmas Spirit; Best Texas Christmas; Most Creative; and Best Overall. Businesses hope to earn a Best Light Display: Best Spirit; or Best Theme, among others. Bands and festive folk bring the season to a fever pitch. Then the real fun begins.

404 Main Street Once the parade ends, hundreds of revelers will pour inside the spacious area of 404 West Main Street. Inside, there will be hot chocolate, face painting, ornament and cookie painting, and stories from Mrs. Claus. And the jolly elf will once more listen and thrill children while photos can be taken. The Azle ISD Drama Club will perform and so will representatives from The G.E.M. It’s a one-of-a-kind celebration – and it’s completely free.

Todd Rone, the grandson of former longtime Azle Mayor Cy Rone, repeated a longheld tradition Friday, Nov. 29, when he helped decorate the Optimist Club Christmas Tree in front of the Azle Historical Museum, starting site for the annual Christmas Parade Dec. 7. Rone works for a Christmas tree ornament company and decorates trees for sales catalog photos shoots.

that worked so hard to try to save her home. “You know, I pulled up there with two grandbabies, and they were just devastated,” Myers said. “The firemen took those boys and showed them the fire engine and all the equipment. They didn’t have to do that, but it meant so much to me. I can never thank them enough. God bless them.” While they are thankful no lives were lost in the tragedy, Myers said little things will always haunt her. “It’s not the appliances, the TVs or the jewelry that we’ll miss,” she said. “It’s the original photos of my dad when he was in the military, and his flag that can never be replaced.” But the outpouring of support from friends and family – and even some former students – goes a long way in making up the difference. Parker County Fire Marshal Shawn Scott said Tuesday the fire appears to be a tragic accident. “The homeowners appear to be very conscientious about any hazards, but they did say they had cleaned out the fireplace that morning and placed the container full of ashes outside the back door of the home,” Scott said. “However, I also found evidence in the same location of damage to some electrical wiring.”

Teen Challenge meal feeds body and soul BY NATALIE GENTRY Victory Christian Church (VCC) hosted the third annual Azle Teen Challenge men’s center Thanksgiving dinner and served food to over 100 friends, family, and students Nov. 28. “This is more than just a dinner,” said Pastor Jim Hartin. “We become family and share time together as well as a delicious meal.” VCC Young Adult Ministry leaders, Ryan and Jennifer Merry, and VCC Spanish Ministry pastor Samuel Solis organized preparations and serving at the dinner. All the trimmings were donated by Vance Godbey’s Restaurant in Azle. Azle Teen Challenge director David Woodcock attended with his family, as did several family members of the Teen Challenge men. Several men shared what Thanksgiving meant to them this year. They recalled what their life was like a year ago when they were struggling with addiction and how their lives have changed because of the Teen Challenge program. The Azle Teen Challenge

Church donates quilts to nursing home CALENDAR BY NATALIE GENTRY The Relief Society at the Azle Ward of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints visited with and distributed lap quilts to the residents of Azle Manor Nursing Home Nov. 19. The ladies began their service project last July when they discovered the need for the quilts and shawls at the nursing

home. The group’s initial goal was to collect 100 lap quilts; to date; they have gathered 155 finished pieces. Many ladies in the group sew, crochet, or knit and others contributed by buying lap quilts. Ethel from Good N.E.W.S. Living at Home, Block Nurse Program donated 15 crocheted

pieces and even young girls 8-10 years old made or donated quilts. One girl took her report card money and bought a finished piece from her neighbor, who accepted much less than the article was worth because it was a service to the nursing home. Ladies as far away as Graham donated time and quilts to

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT BY DARLENE HOLMES You couldn’t have asked for better weather for the Thanksgiving holiday! This week was our No SCS meal day on Tuesday. We had stew and cornbread we fixed. Friday Dec. 6 is food bank day, but the weather may shut us down again. Our monthly birthday and anniversary party will be Wednesday, Dec. 11 and we’ll have cake and ice cream. Hope and Johnny and their

band will be here to play for us again. Come on up about 10:30 a.m. and hear them; they are great! They enjoy playing for the seniors and we’re so glad they come. We play tables games most mornings until lunch time, but most of the seniors stay over there and listen to the band. We do stay after lunch on Thursdays and play chicken foot. It’s lots of fun – come have lunch and play with us!

We got all the Thanksgiving and fall decorations down and will start getting the Christmas decorations up. We like to decorate the B.J. Clark Building for the community. Come by and check us out soon, if you’ve not been here yet. I’ve talked to several new folks who are planning on coming. We order meals the day before and serve at noon Monday through Friday. Ya’ll come!

Walter Buckel

Terry Lee Wehres

1921 - 2013

Funeral services for Walter Buckel, 92, former Lamesa newspaper publisher, were held Monday, Dec. 2, 2013 at 2 p.m. at the Lamesa Church of Christ with Mark Hackett officiating. Interment followed in Lamesa Memorial Park under the direction of Branon Funeral Home. Buckel passed away Wednesday morning, Nov. 27, at his home in Lubbock. He was born Nov. 22, 1921 in the Imperial Valley of Southern California, the son of Fred and Irene (Huth) Buckel. Leaving school during his senior year at Holtville, California, he began playing minor league baseball in California, Kansas and Nebraska. He came to Lamesa in 1941 and signed a contract to play for the Lamesa Lobos of the West Texas/New Mexico League. Buckel served as a radio operator with the U.S. Army Air Corps in North Africa during

World War II. After the war he resumed playing baseball and married Rubye Neile Mitchell on March 3, 1947 in Montgomery, Ala. They decided to make Lamesa their permanent home after he returned to play baseball here in 1947. He served as business manager of the Lamesa Baseball Club and then as cafeteria and transportation director for the Lamesa Independent School District. He was elected Dawson County Clerk and served four and one half years before resigning in 1957 to enter the insurance business. In 1960 he was named manager of KPET radio station and held that position until 1967, when he purchased the Dawson County Free Press, a weekly newspaper in Lamesa. The following year he joined with James Roberts of Andrews to purchase the Lamesa Reporter and merged the two publications to form the Lamesa Press-Reporter. He served as publisher of the Press-Reporter until 1991 and as president of the newspaper and of his sister company, South Plains Printing, until 1993. He remained on the boards of the two companies until earlier this year and held the title of publisher emeritus. Buckel was a part owner and board member of about a dozen other newspapers across Texas. He served as president of the West Texas Press Association (WTPA) in 1982-83 and as president of the Texas Press

He also was a former member of the Lamesa school board. He helped raise well over a million dollars for local causes by heading fundraising efforts for the Lamesa campus of Howard College, creation of the Dal Paso Museum, establishment of the state prison here, and relocation of the Senior Citizens Center. Buckel was a longtime member of the Lamesa Church of Christ, where he served as an elder for 26 years.

BAPTIST CHURCH

151 Ruth Lane Azle TX 76020 817-444-2325

Silver Creek Baptist Church that was once a rural country worship place is now the toast of the town that the youth and small children come in droves to hear the new youth pastor Creighton Morris, a graduate of Tarleton State Univ. and Mrs. Jessica Pelletier are the symbiosis of two innovative Christians thrive in the preaching of the good news of Jesus Christ the living savior of mankind milieu in an alchemy of good that the little town of Azle offers. Since both these two young adult people arrived at Silver Creek, an immeasurable difference is noticed in the direction of spirit in family programs and the community they live in by systematically revamping a teaching technique that has impacted this little church with overflowing crowds of visitors and new members, that a new building has been erected to accommodate the masses now. If there is an epitome of total fulfillment in God’s eyes for joy, both Jessica Pelletier and Creighton Morris have sure illuminated that lightness in heaven. I’m sure God has said (“Job well done Creighton and Jessica my faithful servants, keep up the good work”) We at Silver Creek Baptist Church are proud to call these two teachers, one of our own.

I happened to be outside when one of the quakes hit and I noticed that our quail began to covey up. Then, right before it hit they scattered. The only time quail do that is if they sense danger. Paul Moore

It may have lasted a total of three or four seconds, if that. While at least one big city television station reported that the city has requested an investigation into the cause of the quakes, city manager Craig Lemin says that’s not entirely correct. “If we were going to request an investigation at the state level, we would have started with Representatives (Charlie) Geren and (Phil) King – but they were already on top of it,” Lemin said. “Representative Geren has advised us he would get us a copy of the report once it is available.” Once the report is seen by city offi cials, they can evaluate what needs to be done from there, Lemin said. However, he cautioned, the research will take considerable time and will likely involve offi cials in all the impacted areas. “Cleburne experienced a series of quakes in June 2009. The geologists collected data for a year and it was 2012 before the report from that study was fi nally published,” Lemin said. “That report indicated disposal wells may be contributing to the quakes but stopped short of concluding they were the source.” Lemin stressed there is no quick answer to what is causing the quakes in the area and even after some study, there may not be a conclusive answer.

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Administrators, council members, some staff and a double handful of citizens were a bit shaken up at 6:40 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19, when the strongest earthquake to occur to date in the area – magnitude 3.6 – shook city hall during a council meeting. Most of those in attendance likened the experience to feeling as if a vehicle had hit the building – a slight rumble immediately followed by a loud “boom” and more rumbling.

Teacher’s home destroyed ■ TEACHER’S, FROM PAGE ONE.

Scott likened the situation to a classic “chicken or egg” question. “Whether the ashes caught fire – the winds were high that day – and the flames spread to the house, or the wiring caught fire first and got a little help from heated ashes, it was accidental,” Scott said. “We’ll leave the rest to the insurance company – fortunately, they did have insurance.” Scott said the home sits quite some distance off the roadway and cannot even be seen from the street. So neighbors did not notice smoke from the fire for quite some time.

“Actually, firefighters from Silver Creek Fire Department noticed a large column of black smoke and contacted Parker County fire dispatch, who had no record of a fire in that area,” Scott said. “When Chief Jason Ingram saw the smoke, he knew it was not normal, so they immediately set off to investigate.” As firefighters got closer, Ingram upgraded the call from an investigation to a structure based on what he was seeing, his training and his gut feeling, Scott said. When they found the fire, a neighbor had just arrived to investigate the smoke, as well,

and was calling 911. The home was already so well-involved with fire that all suppression efforts were strictly defensive, Scott explained. Between the cold snap a week before this particular fire and another – even colder – predicted for the upcoming weekend, Scott pleaded with the public to take precautions to prevent structure fires. “The tiniest ember can start a raging fire, so be sure to dispose of fireplace ashes in a hole in the ground whenever possible,” Scott advised. “Another common cause of fires is space heaters placed too close to furniture and/or bedding.”

Two very different men leave behind legacies

went to two funerals within days of each other – two men, one 58, one 92, who could hardly have been more different yet both made substantial contributions to many. And me. David died from throat cancer. He smoked and was overweight and hated exercising and was crude and sometimes an adult bully. But, man, was he a great firefighter. He was also one of the five funniest guys I’ve ever known. His astonishing quick wit would sometimes be vulgar but his retort would be eye-watering hilarious. Firefighters, like soldiers and lawmen, live on the edge and they move through the world with gusto. When there might not be a tomorrow, you squeeze everything out of today. That was David. He’d tell you that’s why

he smoked and ate and was edgy – we have today; let’s wring it out. Of all the friends I’ve ever had, I never liked a guy more, considering we had almost nothing in common. I once came in from a nocturnal jog while we were on duty, sweating from the summertime humidity and heat. David was sprawled out in a recliner, pants undone, and smoking a cigarette with an empty bowl of Blue Bell on the arm, watching PBS. I said, “Can you believe we get paid to work out?” He replied, “Can you believe we get paid to watch the birth of a baby sea otter on TV?” We often stayed up late, discussing our kids at 3:35 in the morning – the only subject we ever agreed on. He always told me, “Mark, you’re a nice guy. You’re just wired wrong.” If we had a major fire, David was

the guy you wanted in the forefront of the firefight. He was also a genius at serious vehicle accidents; with his automotive background, no one freed frightened, ON YOUR trapped victims faster than DaMARK vid. Mark K. Campbell His motor burned out at 58. But he left behind a slew of talented firefighters trained in his hardnosed manner – with everyone laughing all the way. Walter made it to five days past 92.

He played pro ball, was a WWII vet, and ran a newspaper. In between, he was a superior example of exactly what a godly man is supposed to be. Gentle and conscientious, civicminded and a positive father, he always put others first. Walter was a classic example of being a good example. He was a role model for many, from his work ethic to his financial savvy to his journalistic skills. You always hear at funerals: “No one every said a bad thing about [the deceased].” Walter is the only person I’ve know that such a statement is true. For scores of people, when the U.S. mail would arrive, there’d be a small envelope addressed to them. Inside would be a simple note – sometimes handwritten, other times typed (al-

ways on an old school typewriter) – from Walter. The letters always contained an encouraging message. Once I got one that also contained a $2 bill. It was so cool to get such an uplifting surprise. In this life, it’s easy to be mean; but it’s just as easy to be nice. Walter’s positive notes came unsolicited and out of the blue – and they were always cherished. To be honest, I can’t see David and Walter hanging out. Yet, I was fortunate during our lifetimes to intersect with them both – certainly the only person on earth to do so. And that’s what makes life so great – living it! Whether you’re 58 or 92.

ously taken for granted, but more important, He has given us the opportunity to accept His grace. During this season, I am reminded that Jesus Christ came to this world to be the sacrifice for our sin. He died on the cross so that we may be reconciled with God through His blood. The Lord says that all who believe and accept Jesus as Savior and Lord will be saved. The Christmas season is a reminder of His love and sacrifice. My prayer for you today and every day is that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and that you know the only true source of strength. All politics is spiritual, a fight for values and principles to lead our nation. Those principles need to be God centered. Each of us needs to be active in the political process to make sure that the platform reflects our values and to make sure that we elect men and

women to political office that share and will vote our values. I believe in the individual’s ability to provide solutions. I believe in personal accountability and the right to benefit from work, training, education, and sacrifice. Private property and the right to bear arms should not be a topic for discussion in our state houses or Congress. All life has value. I believe in the right to free speech and the right to worship as we choose. In this season celebrating the Birth of the Savior, we must tell our story. We must resist the “political correctness” that wants to take Christ out of Christmas. We need to stand firm on the Judeo-Christian values our country was founded on and that have made us the “Shining City on the Hill.” To each of you, Merry Christmas! Zan Prince Weatherford

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR President changed 242-year-old rule Dear Editor: The new norm for Americans and our country is perpetual acrimony and mordancy brought on by President Obama and his political base as illustrated in Mr. Obama’s so-called “mea culpa” of being caught red-handed of flat lies in his disastrous healthcare law. Mr. Obama’s compunction was more about “they a culpa” – blaming his failures on the insurance companies and, of course, those vile Republicans as obstructionists. Even more wrenching now is Presi-

dent Obama’s lap dog lackeys of the Democratic-controlled Senate in changing a 242-year-old procedural rule on Nov. 21 of preventing the minority of filibustering in presidential nominations. This is nothing more than a fundamental naked power grab in filling more judicial posts by leftist, neocollective Socialists in our government. It’s also a distraction from the negative reporting of that fantastic “Obamacare.” Congratulations America! The man you elected and his minions now rule an oligarchy nation. Joseph L. Bryan Fort Worth

On Christmas, Jesus, and politics Merry Christmas! I hope that you and your family had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are looking forward to a very Merry Christmas! We spend a lot of time talking about politics. I am involved in politics because as a Christian, I am called to service to elect Godly men and women to office that promote policies that enrich our country and protect our freedoms. In all things, we have choices. The Lord has granted much to all of us that live in this country that is prosperous and has freedoms that we have obvi-

2013 Black Friday numbers take a dip For the first time since 2009, retail merchants saw Black Friday profits drop. With Thursday – Thanksgiving Day – openings, retailers’ Black Friday numbers fell, in brick and mortar buildings and online. Estimates by the National Retail Federation said consumers spent three percent less than in 2012, $57.4 billion to $59.1 billion. That equates to each person spending $407.22 less, a 3.9 percent drop. The reason for the decrease, the group said, is the ever-growing popularity of businesses opening on Thanksgiving Day.

The poor start could mean even more bad news for retailers. This year, the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day is shorter than ever, just 27 days. Compared to 2012, that’s six fewer days this shopping season. A Morgan Stanley study projects a season-wide drop of 3.5 percent from last year. Walmart and Target have already reduced holiday profit projections. Among the reasons for customer decline in spending are concerns about the economy and “mission shopping” where a single item is purchased then the customer leaves the store.

Texas can divide into a maximum of five states

'm a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), and at every meeting we say the Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. flag and also to the Texas flag. Both have the word “indivisible” in the pledge. Of course, the Civil War settled the issue that states may not leave the Union. I've heard people comment that Texas reserved the right to secede. No, that is not true. What Texas did obtain from the U.S. when we entered the Union is the right to divide ourselves into as many as five states. We're not indivisible. I always want to tell someone that each time we say the Texas pledge. Actually, when the U.S. acquired large areas of land, Congress divided them into numerous states. The Louisiana Territory stretched all the way to the Pacific Northwest, so, of course, it was broken into many states. The Mexican Cession, acquired after the Mexican War, became New Mexico, Arizona, California, Utah, Nevada and part of Colorado. Dakota Terri-

THE

tory was divided into two states. So was the Oregon Country. Texas was so big, that the expectation was that it would be divided. The wording of the 1845 treaty by which Texas entered the Union allowed it. In a book called Documents of Texas History, I found a “Constitution of the State of West Texas.” Copies of it are located in the Texas State Library in Austin, the Library of Congress, in the library at Texas Tech University and in the Bancroft Library at the University of California at Berkeley. The boundaries they proposed were the Gulf of Mexico on the south, the Colorado River on the east, and the Rio Grande on the west. The northern boundary was the 32nd parallel of latitude (about at present Interstate 20). In a note attached by the editors of the document book they revealed that several attempts at dividing the state were made after 1847. The most serious was during the Texas Constitutional Convention of 1868-69, the West Texas I found in the document book. Because a “Home-

stead Law” passed Congress in 1862, the new proposed West Texas offered the same terms to newcomers, 160 acres of land to a married man, and 80 to a male over 18. PAGES FROM The constituWESTERN tion also provided for free HISTORY schools for at least four J’Nell L. Pate months each year. A public school fund would be set up from the sale of public land. (If they were planning to give land away, they probably would not have sold much of it.) Obviously, they did not succeed in establishing their separate state. Texas had to write a new constitution to get back into the Union after

the Civil War. Congress rejected the first one, so one that the Carpetbagger Republicans wrote was accepted in 1869. Later when the conservative, states rights Southern Democrats got back in power, they wrote another one in 1876, which is the one that governs the state today. The Southerners detailed everything so the state government could not get too much power. That is why we have to keep voting on so many amendments each year to make needed changes to a document that was too specific from the beginning. (In case anyone is confused, Southern Democrats by the 1970s realized that the national Democrat party had become liberal, and the Republican Party was conservative. Therefore, a big flip-flop occurred, and most of those Southern Democrats now vote Republican. They're still conservative, states rights oriented, less big government, etc. [I taught history AND government for 40 years.]) More proposals to divide Texas have

been made through the years than I realized. These were in 1866, the one in 1869, 1870, 1909, 1914. John Nance Garner proposed five states of East Texas, West Texas, North Texas, South Texas and Central Texas in the 1930s, but nothing came of it. After the 1930s no one took proposals to divide Texas seriously, but more came in 1969, 1975 and another in 1991, which suggested that the Panhandle be made into a state called “Old Texas.” That bill was not even considered. I always have maintained that Texans would never permit our state to be divided, certainly while we enjoyed being the largest state. Even though Alaska robbed us of that distinction in 1959, I still believe that we will never split. We couldn't let just one state have the Alamo!

Ladies 2nd in Brewer

Super Bowl Champs!

Azle sits 7-5 in early hoops play BY MARK K. CAMPBELL The Lady Hornet basketball team is playing some solid hoops. Azle (7-5) reached the championship game in White Settlement before taking the runner-up trophy. The tourney began with a 57-52 win over Boswell. Four Lady Hornets reached double digits: Payton Berger (14), Kaycie Dunkerley and Valarie Matlock (13), and Taylor Fulfer (10). Next came a 39-28 victory over Burkburnett. Azle roared out to a 28-11 halftime lead and kept the Lady Dogs at bay. Dunkerley led AHS in scoring with 12 points. Matlock netted 10 and Berger had eight in the win. Later the same day as the Burk contest, Azle beat Haltom 54-41. Morgan Prentice poured in 17 points to pace the Lady Hornets. Berger scored 12, Matlock 11, and Dunkerley nine points. That trio of wins propelled Azle to the title tilt against A cold rain fell and the chill factor was below freezing, but that didn’t stop AYA 5-4A rival Byron Nelson.

ACS loses state late BY MARK K. CAMPBELL The Azle Christian School Crusaders made it back to the highest football mountain – the state championship game. ACS (10-2-1) faced Lucas Christian Academy in unseasonably cold weather; a north wind chilled Porcupine Stadium in Springtown. Even though the Azle school scored on the final play of the

game, Lucas took the six-man championship, 38-32. Lucas got up early, but the Crusaders always kept within striking distance and once led. No team built a substantial advantage. Lucas led 20-12 at halftime. However, when the third period ended, the scored was tied at 20. Then the offensive fireworks

began. ACS scored a pair of TDs, but Lucas added a trio. The Crusaders picked up a crucial first down with 1:04 left in the game on a fourth down. But on 4th-and-11 from the Lucas 37, a pass went incomplete in the Lucas end zone. Three turnovers in the waning minutes thwarted ACS in the final period.

AYA wins 5 of 6 Super Bowls in Burleson BY MARK K. CAMPBELL “It was fun to be part of.” That’s what Johnny Moore, Azle Youth Association president and winning coach, said of the Super Bowl in Burleson. Moore’s squad was one of five Azle teams that brought home championships – which is doubly impressive when you consider the weather Nov. 23 was beyond miserable. A cold wind dropped the chill

played their entire game in the rain,” he recalled. He added, “Jackie’s team came back on us; it was a great game.” In the Under-8 battle, it was Azle versus Azle again. Dustin Fields’ team topped Levi Hodges’ squad 30-6. Next at Elk Stadium before scores of fans huddled against the elements, John Miesner’s Azle Bulldogs skunked Crowley, 28-0. Azle’s only loss was a tough 8-0 defeat to Granbury in the Under-10 contest. “We got inside their 5-yard line twice but turned the ball over,” Moore said. In the final clash, Edward Lester coached his Azle Bulldogs to a definitive 38-6 win over Granbury. That made it 5-of-6 Super Bowl titles for Azle teams in 2013, a new record. “I’m really happy and impressed,” Moore said of the Azle teams. “I’m proud of the kids.” Players took home huge individual trophies then parents toted their young champs back Hornet J.W.

The contests began at 9 a.m. when the Under-6 team coached by Troy Kaznowski blanked their Granbury counterparts 28-0. Moore’s Under-7 boys faced another Azle team coached by Jackie Syrus. Moore finally claimed a Super Bowl in his third try, 26-14. “We were the only ones that

AHS swimmers excel A couple of November swim meets meant substantial improvement for several Azle High School swimmers. On Nov. 9, AHS competed in the Chaps Invitational at Fort Worth’s Wilkerson Grienes natatorium. Azle especially shone in the 100-yard backstroke with T.J. Savage winning, Dylan Heath fourth, and Jacob Hooper finishing sixth. Alex Bridge won the 100 butterfly while Ryan Lloyd

took third. Sarah Hall led the Lady Hornets with a second place outing in the 50 freestyle. The top relay team was the girls 200 free where Makayla Almeida, Rachel Toy, Elvia Bazan, and Hall finished third. The boys team ended up second overall while the girls took fifth. On Nov. 12 at a Wichita Falls quad meet, both squads especially shone. The Hornets won the meet

and the girls finished second. Hall won the 100 and 50 free. Other golds went to Lloyd (100 fly); Savage (100 back), and Jordan Gill (100 breaststroke). Two relay teams were top medal winners. Gill, Lloyd, Bridge, and Savage were No. 1 in the 200 and 400 free. Bridge (100, 200 free), Savage (50 free); Heath (500 free) and the girls 400 free relay – Almeida, Toy, Bazan, and Hall again – all won silvers.

Rodeo team riding strong Former Lady Hornet Kileigh Vann and her Butler teammates finished third in the Div. I NCJAA soccer championships after a 1-0 OT loss to Navarro.

The Azle High School rodeo team continues to compete in North Texas High School Rodeo Association events. Rookie cowgirl Bailey Kavanaugh finished third in barrels in the Joshua rodeo and later

took eighth in a Keller Timber Creek gathering at the NTHSRA arena in Saginaw. In the former victory, she pocketed $180.50. Chute dogger Westlee Schneider took fifth in the Josh-

ua event and won $39.50. Dylan Pyburn finished eighth in the same event. Bull rider Austen Malone was the runner-up in the Joshua rodeo; he won 65 points and $87.

Coaches said Sydney Stanley was the offensive MVP while Jenna Okubo paced the Forte defense. “All the girls played hard and contributed,” coaches noted. The 8th B lost to Creekview 2613. Riley Sparks and Rylee Glennon were Forte’s offensive standouts while Amber Bury led the defense. Also scoring were Haley Craig, Kylea Styne, Janie Barnard, and Leila Riojas. “All the girls contributed in some way during the game,” coaches

said. The 7th A bashed Creekview 27-10. Avery Luig out-scored the Lady Colts herself with 12 points. The bench added 10.

Frozen ices old concepts about Disney and girls A great animated movie is good fun for everyone. Right now, there are a couple of examples out there where one cartoon is being panned and the other lauded. About the film The movie being praised right now is this week’s Frozen. The turkey is Free Birds. Disney’s Frozen arrived with much praise as well as kudos for the opening short. Free Birds has been dissed, even with a primo position right before a holiday, Thanksgiving – and a plot about that holiday. With Frozen, Disney has done something very wise. The knock against decades of animated Disney films is that a man always rushes in to save the woeful female. Or the lead, pining girl/lady just wants a Prince Charming to lead her into a wonderful life. Feminists railed against the Mouse House as pandering to little girls and perpetuating long-held sexist beliefs. The studio always claimed to illustrate strong female figures – Ariel of The Little Mermaid, Mulan, Pocahontas – but the other side of the fence was not swayed. Now comes Frozen and it is different. The second of two twists in the film reveal that; for those with long animation memories, it’s a chuckle-inducing change from the male-herosaves-the-day. (The first twist is in “What works.”) For those girl-power inclined, it’s a big step forward for Disney. Frozen has demolished poor Free Birds at the box office. Aside from the Disney logo that entices all age groups, this latest Mouse House effort is clearly aimed above the usual 8-year-old girl audience – by several years. (And it took several years to get the movie made; it’s based on “The Snow Princess,” a story by Hans Christian Anderson.) The Movie Man took a sixyear-old boy and a five-yearold girl and both were bored

madly for over 30 minutes until Olaf the wacky snowman showed up. Then it attracted those younger folk. Frozen is Disney’s first tween girl animated movie and it hits it’s target big time. The plot (spoiler) Anna (Kristen Bell) and Elsa (Idina Menzel) are sisters, daughters of royalty. But Elsa has a magical secret – she has winter in her; she can freeze things, make it snow, etc. However, if she can’t control her emotions, she can’t control her powers. When an Elsa event injures feisty Anna, their parents decide to separate the sisters in the giant castle so no more harm will be done. After their parents are killed (it is Disney), Elsa hesitantly ascends to the throne. With people entering the castle for the first time in years, Anna immediately falls in love with Hans (Santino Fontana). When Elsa disapproves of the quickie marriage, an argument results where she accidently reveals her powers to the village. Elsa flees into the mountains – after her green kingdom is cursed with a perpetual winter. Headstrong Anna heads out to fetch her sister who has created a mighty ice palace high

Movie Man atop a mountain. Anna runs into an ice worker, Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and his trusty reindeer Sven. Later, they meet Olaf (Josh Gad), a resourceful, accident-prone snowman who is the splitting image of one built by Anna and Elsa in their earlier childhood days. Elsa inadvertently strikes Anna’s heart with an icy blast and she is taken by Kristoff to a group of trolls. The critters say the only hope for Anna is for her to find true love. Kristoff races her back to the Duke. However, twist No. 1 arrives. Anna turns into an icy statue while saving Elsa who has returned to the kingdom. Then comes the true love part, some-

thing different than any other Disney movie before. And that’s followed by more love and happy endings. (This is Disney.) What works (big spoiler) Frozen looks spectacular. There are some mighty 3-D images but, even without it, the entire movie is incredible. The icy images are astonishing and there’s never a single time when the movie isn’t a visual wonder. As usual, the best parts of Disney movies are not the human characters but the animals.

Sven gets a few laughs, but the film gets juiced when Olaf the snowman arrived. Until then, the two children with the Movie Man were restless; Olaf changed that quickly. The movie seems pre-made musically for adaptation to Broadway. It’s front-loaded with songs and a few of them are snappy. Olaf’s curiosity about what summer must be like is funny and witty. The other big tune highlights the power chords of Menzel (in her second Disney role after Enchanted [2007, Movie Man No. 747, a 5]), “Let It Go.” And the whirlwind, one-day romance of Hans and Anna is encapsulated in “Love is an Open Door.” The opening short, Get a Horse, is very hyperactive and utilized the 3-D process for all it’s worth. About that first big twist teased earlier: Hans is evil. What doesn’t work And this is a biggie: Elsa is plenty underwritten. The reason for her magical powers is never addressed and her story line is clearly secondary to Anna’s. Her side of the tale could’ve been substantially in-

creased and, in such stark contrast to Anna, Elsa is far more interesting. The first 30 minutes of Frozen are deadly dull. That’s made especially evident after the kinetic opening cartoon. Without question, keeping young boys interested in Frozen is a chore. The stinger (end scene after the credits which, of course, takes forever) isn’t worth the wait.

The late November cold blast arrived when Azle Christian School was playing for the state six-man championship in Springtown. These fans showed their support for the Crusaders and toughed out some mighty chilly conditions. Ice is expected by week’s end and throughout the weekend. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

Get ready to hunker down from another Arctic blast barrelling straight toward us BY MARK K. CAMPBELL After surviving one of the coldest Novembers on record, December is about to try to one up it. Following several remarkably mild days as the month started, December is about to get cold – and maybe icy. Of course, that’s what weather forecasters said Nov. 22-23 when a cold rain arrived and was expected to turn to ice – as much as two inches. Some trees were adorned with a glaze then, but the fro-

zen precipitation did not coat the roadways as feared. It remains to be seen if this week will be any different. Forecasters are guessing that things will begin to turn by Thursday. Perhaps still stung by misprognosticating in November, weathermen/women are being more cautious this time. Still, “bitterly cold” temperatures are expected to arrive by Thursday night. And Friday and Saturday are projected to be icy and miser-

able. Such poor weather affects plenty of scheduled activities. The late stages of high school football playoffs are ongoing and many teams are trying to get games in on Thursday. The UIL said playing Monday is OK, too.

The already weakened holiday shopping season could take another hit if people can’t get out. Even Azle’s annual Christmas Parade might be affected. If the weather ends up being horrid, the parade might be cancelled – which will make those hoping to ride one of the

14 floats unhappy – but indoor holiday activities at 404 West Main Street will go on. Here’s the official look at the mighty Arctic front heading our way: Thurs. – day rain, followed by 90 percent chance of rain, changing to freezing rain

Fri. – Rain, freezing rain, sleet. High: 33. Wind: N-15-20. Sat. – more rain, freezing rain. High: 34. Wind: N-10-20. Sun. – High 40, more rain, winds let up. On Monday, the high shoots up to 45 with rain out of the forecast.
