After the storm Area still recovering from ‘IceAgeddon’ BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN No doubt the Dec. 5-6 ice storm will go down in history as one of the worst in this area. Area schools were closed for four days, city street crews worked overtime trying to keeps roads passable, and police, deputies and fi refi ghters responded to an abundance of calls of all kinds. Rick White, Public Services Director for the city of Azle, said street crews sanded more than 50 locations across the city and re-sanded those locations multiple times. “We used more than 60 tons of sand during this event alone,” White said, adding that the effort also utilized 75 man-hours, all at overtime rates. Critical locations kept well-sanded included Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle, Azle’s central fi re station, police department, street department storage area, all bridges in the city, all major intersections and streets, and many hills. AISD ice woes The Azle Independent School District (AISD or district) meanwhile dealt with ice in several different flavors. First and most obvious was the initial safety threat of widespread icing of roadways that caused the district to shut schools down a half-hour early ThursPLEASE SEE ‘ICEAGEDDON’, PAGE 2A.

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN The latest earthquake in the area occurred Saturday evening, Dec. 14, at 10:54 p.m. about a mile south of Springtown. That was just a day ahead of the installation of four NetQuakes instruments provided by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in the area. Heather DeShon, associate professor of geophysics at Southern Methodist University’s Roy D. Huffi ngton Department of Earth Sciences, said additional equipment is also on the way to help in the collection of data related to the series of earthquakes that began suddenly the night of Nov. 5. Since that time, 22 quakes measuring 2.0 or more have been recorded in the areas around Azle, Reno, and Springtown. Two of those 22 quakes were just east of Eagle Mountain Lake; three additional quakes (not included in the 22 in the immediate area) have occurred in an area between Mineral Wells and Jacksboro west of the immediate area.

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN The Azle High School Marching Green Pride (MGP) placed 13th overall in the Texas State Marching Band contest in November. Now, individual AHS band students are climbing the steps necessary to see who will make it to the All-Area and then the All-State bands. Those students started things off right at All-Region auditions, with 26 individuals named to that band. Eight of those students will also advance to Area auditions. “These students have been working on difﬁcult music for four months and did an outstanding job,” said assistant band director Kim Murphy. “We wish the best to those who will be advancing to Area competition in January in their quest to make it to the TMEA [Texas Music Educators Association] All-State band, the highest individual achievement for a high school musician.” Murphy added that freshman All-Region auditions will be held Jan. 13 at Denton Ryan High School and she is conﬁdent some ninth graders will be added to the list once those results are posted. In the meantime, the following musicians are basking in the All-Region limelight:

Azle man killed in Cresson wreck BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN An Azle man was killed in an accident in the far southeastern corner of Parker County. Randy Joe Dick, 55, of Azle, was pronounced dead at the scene of the accident at 6:29 a.m. Tuesday, Dec. 10. According to Senior Trooper Gary Rozzell of the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS) Dick was driving a 2006 Sterling tractor pulling a 1999 utility box trailer southbound on US Highway 377 near its intersection with Yellow Stone Road north of Cresson. Dick struck a 2006 Toyota Celica, also southbound, but disabled in the right turn lane with no lights.

A Special Section

The right front of Dick’s vehicle struck the left rear of the Toyota, Rozzell said. The impact caused truck and trailer to veer left and Dick then over-corrected to the right. The tractor-trailer spun clockwise, striking a brick wall and a fence before side-skidding into the east bar ditch, where it came to rest on its left side. The Toyota went to the right after the impact and struck a tree, Rozzell said. The only occupant of the Toyota was a passenger, Susan R. Beasley, 32, of New Braunfels. Presumably, the driver had set out on foot some time prior to the accident

to get gasoline. However, a routine check on Beasley by law enforcement turned up a warrant from another county for violating a promise to appear in court regarding a charge of driving with an invalid driver’s license with a previous conviction or suspension and/or without insurance. Beasley was taken into custody at the scene. She posted $3,500 bond and was released from the Parker County jail the following day. Rozzell said that while there was some ice still on the highway when the accident occurred, the exact reason why Dick’s vehicle struck the Toyota remains under investigation.

day, Dec. 5. Dangerous roadway conditions remained on Friday, throughout the weekend and continued both Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 9-10, and the district dutifully remained closed for the safety of students, staff, and faculty. But on Tuesday, as road conditions slowly improved, administrators were “straddling the fence” over whether to resume classes Wednesday, said Skip McCambridge, district Director of Operations. “While most of the main roadways were clear and easily traveled, many of our neighborhoods are off the beaten path with heavily shaded streets that were still quite dangerous,” McCambridge said. “Then, about 2 p.m., we learned of the water main break, and that made the decision for us.” A four-inch water main on the west side of Azle High

School had frozen and burst. The main fed about twothirds of the campus, including several restrooms and the cafeteria, making it impossible to bring students in for classes until the main could be repaired. Wednesday morning Dec. 11, district maintenance staff cut through a concrete patio/walkway with a concrete saw and used a backhoe to dig around the broken main. Once it was exposed, they identified what was needed for the repair and set out for parts. Workers literally stood in freezing water and mud to make the repairs and then cover the water main back up. Once it was all tested and given the go-ahead, school finally resumed on Thursday, Dec. 12, fully one week after being let out early when the initial storm came through. Another area that didn’t handle the ice too well was the gutter system on the north and south sides of the indoor practice facility completed last

summer at AHS. Like many other metal structures, ice slowly melted and slid in columns off the roof of the facility.

Highs and lows in latest sales tax report Springtown way down, Lakeside way, way up BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN State sales tax revenue in November was $2.41 billion, up 2.8 percent compared to November 2012, according to Texas Comptroller Susan Combs. “State sales tax revenue continues to grow at a moderate pace as expected,” Combs said. “Sales tax collections have increased for 44 consecutive months. Revenue from sectors such as wholesale trade, services industries and restaurants contributed to the most recent increase.” Combs will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts their December local sales tax allocations totaling $579.6 million, up 5 percent compared to December 2012. The December sales tax fi gures represent October sales reported by monthly tax filers. Locally, Springtown took a huge hit while Willow Park showed a huge gain compared with last year’s numbers, but sometimes giant gains or losses can be attributed to adjustments made to prior periods. The city of Reno and Parker County also saw moderate losses compared with last year, but most other entities in the area saw small to moderate increases. One area city actually saw an increase for December of well more than 200 percent. The city of Azle saw one of the smallest increases – only 0.69 percent – for December with $158,563. The city picked up $157,470 in December 2012. However, the city’s total sales tax revenue for 2013 is $2,105,713, up 2.72 percent from its 2012 total of $2,049,804. The Azle Crime Control and Prevention District saw a 2.24 percent increase with a December check for $30,685 compared with December 2012 revenue of $30,012. The district’s 2013 total sales tax revenue is $393,138, 5.62 percent more than its 2012 total revenue of $372,185. Azle’s newly approved Municipal Development District began collecting sales tax in the month of October, and that district collected its first revenue check in December – $25,983. In Springtown, things were not so upbeat. The city’s revenue for December was $77,942 compared with December 2012 revenues of $134,075. That’s a decrease of 41.86 percent. The city’s 2013 total revenue is also down. It

collected $896,910 during 2013, compared with $986,034 in 2012, a 9.03 percent decrease. Willow Park – not typically covered in this publication, but used here for the sake of contrasting the huge swings in sales tax revenues – collected $52,426 in sales tax revenue in December 2012, but this month received a check for $100,920. That’s a 92.49 percent increase. That city is up 19.20 percent for 2013 with revenues of $746,766 compared with total sales tax revenue of $626,432 in 2012. Reno’s December revenue was $6,116. Compared with December 2012 revenue of $6,705, that’s an 8.78 percent decrease. But the city remains up almost 10 percent on the year, with total revenue for 2013 of $85,105. That represents a 9.62 percent increase over 2012 total revenues of $77,631. Sanctuary received a check for $906 for December, 4.23 percent more than its December 2012 check for $870. Total sales tax revenue for 2013 is $13,416 – compared with 2012 total revenue of $13,487, that a drop of just 0.53 percent. Parker County itself received $547,714 in December, a 13.36 percent drop from its December 2012 revenue of $632,234. However, the county’s total revenue for 2013 of $6,943,522 is 0.83 percent more than its total 2012 revenue of $6,886,228. On the Tarrant County side, Pelican Bay is up 15.35 percent for December, with $1,661 compared with $1,440 for December 2012. But total revenue for 2013 of $18,833 is down 16.32 percent from its 2012 total revenue of $22,508. Now about Lakeside... December’s sales tax revenue in Lakeside is $16,826. Compare that with the city’s December 2012 revenue of $4,648 and it’s an incredible 262.01 percent increase from last year. That additional revenue no doubt contributed to the city’s 10.09 percent overall increase in revenue from 2012 to 2013. Its total revenue for 2013 is $84,084, while total revenue for 2012 was $76,373.

Brian and Nancy Rogers, owners of Ace Hardware of Azle and Tracy Morgan of Morgan Mechanical of Azle built and donated a 12 foot walk-in cooler to the Community Caring Center in Azle. Joe Lieb, the director of the CCC said this is very generous donation could not have come a better time as a demand for food assistance is at an all-time high. Now, with the new cooler we can give the clients more fresh fruits, vegetables and dairy products. Brian, Nancy and Terry, thanks from all of us here at the CCC.

Quake devices at work

2.3

n QUAKE, FROM PAGE ONE.

Seismology (IRIS) Program for Array Seismic Studies of the Continental Lithosphere (PASSCAL) and another four or five broadband instruments from other sources. The additional monitors will allow researchers to study a broader area. “We are first going to focus in on where the earthquakes have been occurring – about a five-to-six-mile area near Reno and Azle,” DeShon said. “How long the monitors remain depends on continued seismicity. We’re thinking a few months.” The locations of the monitors will remain confidential to preserve the integrity of the data they will be collecting, she said. Gathering data According to a press release issued by SMU on the subject, North Texas is an area of extensive petroleum production – particularly natural gas drawn from the Barnett Shale formation in the Fort Worth Basin. Two studies produced by a group of SMU and University of Texas at Austin seismologists since 2009 – the most recent published this month – have indicated a possible linkage between seismicity and some injection wells drilled for the disposal of oil and gas production fluids. The Azle monitors, however, will not be deliberately sited near injection wells. “The first goal is to get a better handle on where these earthquakes are occurring,” DeShon said. “If it turns out they are near injection wells, then we’ll study that potential link. The primary goal is to provide better information for the public.” NetQuakes seismometers are bolted to concrete foundations to ensure they are well-coupled to a structure and accurately record ground motion. What’s the cause?

“In addition, regions with frequent induced earthquakes may also be subject to damaging earthquakes that would have occurred independently of human activity. “Making a strong scientific case for a causative link between a particular human activity and a particular sequence of earthquakes typically involves special studies devoted specifically to the question,” the SMU press release states. In addition to viewing the data from the NetQuakes seismometers, those interested may follow DeShon and her research team @SMUResearch.com on Twitter or on the web.

The USGS National Earthquake Information Center reports that in some regions – such as the south-central states of the U.S. (which includes the North Texas region) – a significant majority of recent earthquakes are thought by many seismologists to have been human-induced. “Even within areas with many human-induced earthquakes, however, the activity that seems to induce seismicity at one location may be taking place at many other locations without inducing felt earthquakes,” reads the summary posted on a page spelling out the basic information stemming from an earthquake near Azle Sunday, Dec. 8.

BAPTIST CHURCH

151 Ruth Lane Azle TX 76020 817-444-2325

Silver Creek Baptist Church of Azle, Texas and its pastor, the Rev. Jay Ditty would invite everyone to come and hear Mrs. Susan Bryan who was aquisitioned sometime back as the piano player and vocalist for the church. Susan is unparalleled in her fi eld of playing piano and singing and is celebrated by her peers in the solo vocalist and piano recitals throughout churches spanning more than four decades. She has toured with an emerging talent that later fi gured signifi cantly in her music career such as backup key board player for southern gospel quartet singers in churches. So, friends and neighbors, let me say that the hills are alive with the sound of music, and no, not the “Rogers and Hammerstein musical theater production “The Sound of Music” but, the hills of Parker and Tarrant counties of Susan Bryan’s angelic voice and sublime key board excellence that is nothing short of Heaven’s Gate.

Ladies start district at 1-1

By MArk k. CAMPBeLL The games that count are underway – 5-4A clashes – and Azle (10-6, 1-1) coach Mitzi Marquart is OK with her squad’s initial outings. “We have gotten off to a good start in a very tough district,” she said. “I feel that if teams don’t play consistent every Tuesday and Friday, there could be some upsets.” The Lady Hornets got district play underway at Trophy Club Byron Nelson. AHS fell, 55-43. Kacie Dunkerley shone with 16 points. Taylor Fulfer and Payton Berger added eight each in a game where Azle was strong early. The Lady Hornets led 29-19 at halftime before things cratered in the second half. Back on Dec. 11, another strong start was continued in the final two periods as AHS dashed Lake Dallas, 55-31. Morgan Prentice was the top scorer with 12 points. Several other Lady Hornets had nice games: Dunkerley (9); Emelia Miller and Berger (8); Fulfer (7); Makenzi Bossert (5); and Maci Wilbanks (4). In such a tough district, coach Marquart said, “Our focus needs to be game by game.” Freshman – The AHS frosh (7-7, 1-1) beat Lake Dallas 2519 as Breeona Cannon led with 13 points. Macie Strickland added 6 while Bethany Smith, Lady Hornet Payton Berger scored 16 points in Azle’s Hayley Schlueter, and Chelsea first two district clashes. Photo by Mark K. Campbell Padgett netted 2 points each.

Azle wrestlers pick up victories on distant mats The Azle High School wrestling teams traveled to a couple of the toughest tournaments of the season – especially the Lady Hornets. Coach Chris Allen said the annual Texas Ladies Classic in Frisco is one of the premier girls events in the state, jampacked with talent from across Texas. “We had several girls with 30 or more in their brackets,” Allen recalled. Defending state champion Jesse Grubbs finished second at her first time competing at 185 pounds. Ruby Ariosa finished third. “We had some other girls who won matches but did not place,” Allen said. He lauded the efforts of Brooke Bryan, Ashlee Taylor,

Lauren Gilbert, and 2013 state qualifier Bernadette Duhan, a crucial part of AHS’ state championship team. The Lady Hornets finished 13th out of 31 teams in Frisco. The boys took third at St. Marks in Dallas, trailing only Cedar Park Vista Ridge and Rockwall. Two Hornets were champs – Logan Little at 160 pounds and Justin Scarbro in the heavyweight class. Skylar Russell (126 pounds) and Marshall Gilbreath (182) were silver medalists. Taking a bronze was Tyler Stewart (152). Two other Hornets placed fourth, Jimmy Fager (113) and Hayden Buchanan (132). Allen said his inexperienced team continues to get better as

district approaches (Jan. 25 at Byron Nelson). “We are still young and green, but we have some kids who are really stepping up,” the coach said. Getting some athletes well will be crucial for district. “We just need to get healthy in some spots and have some kids step up and do what they need to do to help the team and be successful,” Allen said. The coach knows a young team takes a while to learn and that’s what is going on currently on mats near and far. “Right now, this is the time to work to get better; it is all predistrict,” he said. The varsity will take another annual jaunt – this time to the Southern Oklahoma Invitational Dec. 20-21 before breaking for Christmas.

AHS hoops boys first tournament a toughie 5A, state-ranked teams visit Decatur Luke Davis scored eight points and grabbed five rebounds. Jason Templeton also grabbed five boards to go with six points. Next came a Dec. 13 game against a state-ranked 3A school (No. 5), Triple A Academy. They proved their mettle, beating Azle 84-41. On Saturday, Dec. 14, the Hornets picked up victory No. 1 of the season, 58-42 over Alvarado. Two Hornets had big scoring games – Jesse Salisbury with 18 points and Templeton with 17. The latter also snatched eight boards. Billy Stevens added six points and a team-high 10 rebounds. Bagwell’s five steals was tops as were his seven assists. He finished with six points and six rebounds. Ty Fair scored five and Brandon Martinez netted four points. The tourney ended with a 5738 loss to 5A Denton Ryan. Stevens shone again, this time with 14 points and seven rebounds. Salisbury scored nine points and Templeton added seven points and five rebounds.

Campbell Thanks to the ice storm messing up some non-district games – including what would have been the first tournament of the year at Boswell – the Azle High School basketball team hasn’t gotten in too many games so far this season. The Hornets (1-7) ventured to Decatur Dec. 12-14 for a trio of contests. First, Azle faced 5A Weath-

erford and the Kangaroos won, 50-37. A poor start – AHS trailed 14-2 after one period – proved too much to overcome. Still, the Hornets made up seven of those 12 points entering the fourth quarter. Colton Bagwell’s 12 points paced Azle. He and Bryce Gum also led in steals with three each.

Forte Junior HigH Girls hoops The 8th A girls lost to Willkie. Coaches said the A played a “neck and neck” first half. Savannah Johnson paced Forte in scoring. The 8th B got edged by Willk ie, 17-14. Coaches said the offense was led by Britany Beasley (4 points) while the FJH D was paced by Hayley Craig. Scoring 2 points each were

Amber Bury, Kyleah Styne, Jayne Barnard, Ryley Sparks, and Craig. The 7th A clubbed Willkie, 2412. Avery Luig and Harley Wil banks were standouts, coaches recalled. “We scored a lot off of fast breaks that were started by a smothering defense,” said coaches. The 7th B felled Willkie 14-6.

Angels that were heard on high...and way in the back

t was a busy 18 hours. First, the Bride and I along with six-year-old grandson Link –whose right eye is now open after smashing it against a fence post at 100 mph while sledding during Ice-ageddon – went on our first Tour of Homes. It was cool to see some nice houses decked out gaily in holiday festiveness. But we ran into a problem. The grandson had to use the bathroom. I had no idea what the etiquette of Tour of Homes pooping is. So I guarded the door and he did his business in some stranger’s lovely home. Also. as he sat, this shouted through the door: LINK: What’s the opposite of koala? ME: What? LINK: What’s the opposite of koala? ME: ‘What’s the opposite of koala?’ LINK: Yes.

ME: (perplexed) Giraffe? LINK: No! A baby koala! ME: Oh. Please finish pooping. Back home, I underwent a restless night’s sleep because awaiting the next morning was a couple of presentations of my church’s Christmas pageant. The problem was we had almost zero preparation for it. The play’s concept was that of a group getting ready to stage a nativity play. I was Gabriel with two other female angels and, as actors, I had to inform them that the message to Mary was delivered by the mighty angel Gabriel, “not a bunch of screeching female!” angels. We all had speaking parts yet the three of us had zero practices together. Zero! Ice-ageddon delayed our original production dates then that mighty storm combined with our earthquake swarm kept me glued to the newspaper chair when the other two gathered

ON YOUR MARK Mark K. Campbell

to practice the scene at church. Literally, it was 25 minutes before the play was to begin when I was shown where to stand. And I had not even tried on the giant wings that had been specially acquired for the role. There’s nothing like being onstage. It was, of course, a friendly audience; it was unlikely the crowd would rush the stage or boo a nativity play. But, still, you didn’t want to be the guy who messed up the story of the birth of the Christ. Another catch was that I “funniedup” the script. During the initial reading – way back in November – I voiced the part in as Pee-wee Herman then as Gay-briel. Neither of those struck the ultra-conservative choir members as very funny. So, I messed with the script (which was penned by the pastor). Gabriel ended up being mighty in the vein of

Arnold Schwarzenegger. The lights dimmed and soon I was poised behind the baptistry, ready for my entrance. I had practiced the lines 100 times yet gave a reading that I had somehow not conjured up earlier while driving or in the shower. The second time, I changed the lines again. Both instances got laughs – which was the idea – but Gabriel might’ve come off a little more mean than I intended. (He kinda brags on his awesomeness, but, hey!, he was made by God!) I asked the Bride what she thought. “You were loud. Really loud.” Not a ringing endorsement. But it capped a wacky 18 hours. I not only survived a pressure-packed church spectacle, but I learned what the opposite of koala was. Christmas miracles! Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and Peewee as Gabriel sounded pretty funny to him.

Hey! everybody come check this out!

A Letter to the editor VFDs forced to provide health insurance is not right Here is a tip – so much for a government that is for the people, by the people! We are having earthquakes around the Azle, Reno, Springtown area, but nobody in the nation can tell us why. Our county roads were a mess during the recent ice storm, but the county can't find it in their hearts to send out their paid crews to help out the public. However, the local volunteer fire departments had their members take time away from their families to help

out the citizens of our county. And now, the IRS is trying to say that volunteer firefighters are employees – even if they receive no money for their time – and will force volunteer fire departments to provide health insurance. Where does our government think this money will come from? It is time for the people to rise and tell our representatives that enough is enough! All Washington and local government officials are concerned about is their own pockets. Let the people slip and slide and protect their own homes with buckets and garden hoses! Bob Kruger

Oregon pioneers faced Columbia’s mighty gorge, rapids

've read many an account of pioneers traveling west in the 1840s to Oregon. Diaries of real people let readers experience the trip vicariously through their words. Every diary, journal and history book about the trip mentions The Dalles. In Oregon last summer, I learned more about it. When reading about The Dalles, I always wondered how the word was pronounced. It's "dales" which rhymes with “males.” The Dalles had the largest rapids on the Columbia River that those early pioneers somehow had to get around. Of course, the Native Americans of the area saw them first. They called the rapids “Win-quatt” which indicated a place circled by rock cliffs. French fur traders, who arrived earlier than the Americans to the area, called it “Le Grande Dalles de la Columbia.” The word dalle in French means flagstone or slab.

by the rushing waters of the Columbia River at the Long Narrows and also at Short Narrows. The flow of the Columbia River narrowed to pass through a basalt rock chute. The channel is 200 feet deep and 200 feet wide at that point. The rushing torrent created treacherous rapids. When the Hudson's Bay Company of the British took over the territory from the French after 1763, they continued the name The Dalles, but they also called them the “Long Narrows.” The first Americans to encounter The Dalles were Meriwether Lewis and William Clark in 1805 whom President Thomas Jefferson had sent out to explore a route through the northwest to the Pacific. (The U.S. had just purchased the huge Louisiana Territory in 1803, although Jefferson had been mulling over the idea of exploration before that.) Lewis and Clark camped two different times near The Dalles, three nights in October 1805 on their way west, and then three more in

April 1806 on their return. Both times they camped on a rock formation overlooking the Columbia River; they named their campsite “Rock Fort.” Clark in his journal on October 25, 1805 “walked PAGES FROM wrote: down to see WESTERN the place the HISTORY Indians pointed out as the worst J’Nell L. Pate place in passing through the gut, which we found difficult of passing without great danger...[we] divided the party, some to take over the canoes, and others to take our stores across a portage of a mile to a place on the channel below the bad whorl.”

Frenchman Gabriel Franchere in 1814 became the first to record the name “Dalles.” He wrote: “On the 12th we arrived at a rapid called the Dalles: This is a channel cut by nature through the rocks, which are here almost perpendicular. . .The whole body of the river rushes through it, with great violence, and renders navigation impracticable." In 1820 James Birney of the North West Fur Company established a fur trading fort at The Dalles, but it was short-lived. When wagon trains of American settlers began to arrive in the early 1840s, The Dalles meant the end of the road. They had to leave their wagons and travel the rest of the way to the Willamette Valley by boat or raft. In 1845 a man named Samuel Barlow built a toll road around the south side of Mount Hood, and immigrants no longer had to abandon their wagons. However, the mountain road was steep and rocky. U.S. troops arrived in 1847 at the beginning of the

Cayuse War, and the site was called Fort Dalles for a short time. Over a period of 25 years approximately 165,000 pioneers traveled the Oregon Trail and at least saw The Dalles. The settlement there grew to the present “City of The Dalles.” Nearby is a 3/4 mile long bridge across the Columbia River connecting the City of the Dalles (Oregon) with Dallesport (Washington State). Of course, our modern society has tamed the rapids with a Dalles Dam and locks. Thus, recreational activities abound such as rafting, boating, swimming, skiing, hiking, windsurfing, fishing and rock climbing. Historic sites lure tourists to see ghost towns, Indian artifacts, and museums in what is now the Columbia River Gorge National Scenic Area. I wonder how many modern tourists even care about the rich history of The Dalles.

Letter Obama making U.S. the world’s laughingstock Dear Editor: Just when it couldn’t get any worse for president Barack Obama in scandals, fraud, and downright lying to the American people about his capstone achievement – the Affordable Care Act – comes another shameful and embarrassment for our country. It came at a state funeral in South Africa for Nelson Mandela, the president of that country who died recently. While eulogies were being delivered, Obama was viewed by the world joyfully clowning around, flirting with an attractive woman – who happened to be the viceroy of another country – in front of his wife Michelle Obamam, and bowing and shaking hands with two ruthless despots, Raul Castro of Cuba and Robert Mugbe of Zimbabwea. We as a nation have become the laughingstock of the world and our president reduced to a cartoon caricature. There’s an old saying: “You get what you pay for.” America, you voted for this guy so live with it. Joseph Bryan Fort Worth

Comptroller reports state general revenue amount

exas will have some $98.9 billion in general revenue for state budget makers to work with in the 2014-2015 biennium, according to Texas Comptroller Susan Combs’ revenue estimate. Combs delivered the estimate to Gov. Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst, House Speaker Joe Straus and every member of the state House and Senate on Dec. 12. “This available revenue,” Combs said, “supports general revenue spending of $96.31 billion for the 2014-2015 biennium … producing an expected revenue balance of $2.58 billion.” Turning to the economy to help explain the surfeit of revenue, she added, “Texas has recovered 100 percent of the jobs lost in the recession and has added 597,000 beyond the previous peak in August 2008.” Gov. Perry welcomed Combs’ official estimate, saying, “Tex-

as government budgets like Texas families, limiting spending and saving hard-earned dollars. As a result, Comptroller Susan Combs estimates our current 2014-2015 budget will end with a positive balance of nearly $2.6 billion. What’s most remarkable is we’ve done this while passing $1.4 billion in tax cuts, and we’ve made historic investments in water and, if voters approve, roads.” Secretary of State resigns Texas Secretary of State John Steen on Dec. 13 announced he would step down next month to return to his private law practice and continue managing his family’s investments. Appointed by Gov. Perry in November 2012, Steen, Texas’ 108th secretary of state serves as the state’s chief election officer. Duties of the office include the storage and preservation of official business and commercial records required by law to filed, publication of government rules and regulations, the

case against the state of New Mexico before the U.S. Supreme Court. Earlier this year, Texas filed its original action claim against New Mexico asserting damages to Texas from New Mexico’s diversions of project water below Elephant Butte that have harmed Texas’ allocation as set forth in the Rio Grande Project and the 1938 Rio Grande Compact. Texas, New Mexico and Colorado each filed briefs on the case. The U.S. Supreme Court asked the U.S. Solicitor General to weigh in on the case before deciding to take the action. Chairman Bryan W. Shaw of the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality commented, saying, “While Texas is loath to sue our New Mexico neighbor, river compacts are law, Texas rightfully depends on water apportioned under the Water case clears hurdle The U.S. solicitor general’s law, and the compacts must be office on Dec. 10 said the State enforced.” of Texas has provided enough legal evidence to move forward SCOTUS hears air case The U.S. Supreme Court on with its water compact dispute commissioning of notaries public, the keeping of the state seal and attestation to the gove r n o r ’s signature on offiSTATE cial docuCAPITAL ments. HIGHLIGHTS The secretary of Ed Sterling state also serves as senior advisor and liaison to the governor for Texas Border and Mexican Affairs and serves as chief international protocol officer for Texas.

Dec. 10 heard oral arguments in EPA v. EME Homer City Generation, a case contesting the federal agency’s cross-state air pollution rule that would require Texas and 27 other states to reduce power plant emissions that cross state lines. Texas Railroad Commission Chairman Barry Smitherman said the rule “threatens the viability of the Texas lignite mining industry, jobs and severely hampers economic growth. If the rule is implemented, many Texas coal-fired power plants may be forced to limit or shut down operations.” A decision by the high court is expected by June 2014. Travis DA keeps job Travis County District Attorney Rosemary Lehmberg was not forced to resign, pursuant to a Dec. 11 ruling by visiting Judge David Peeples of San Antonio on a petition seeking to remove her from office. Lehmberg, who also serves as the chief enforcer of the state’s

ethics laws on upper-tier officeholders, was arrested and jailed last April for driving while intoxicated. Her behavior following her arrest was recorded and widely publicized. Following the civil court hearing, Lehmberg said, “I deeply regret my actions on April 12th and have taken full responsibility. I am committed to carrying out my responsibilities as district attorney and to continue serving the voters of Travis County.” UT football coach resigns Mack Brown, head football coach for The University of Texas, gave his farewell press conference on Dec. 15, after 16 years at the helm. Brown’s salary is an estimated $5.4 million, making him one of the three highest-paid college football coaches in the nation. 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.

The way we were: Local Blockbuster closing By Natalie GeNtry Video may have killed the radio star, but it became official on Nov. 6, that streaming killed the video store. Blockbuster, the last national movie rental chain, will close its remaining stores on Jan. 12, including the Azle store. The company is also discontinuing its DVD-by-mail distribution by mid-January. Blockbuster was saved from bankruptcy in 2011 by DISH Network. Since that time, however, the business continued to deteriorate as Netflix began its DVD-by-mail and then streaming services attracted former clientele. Blockbuster failed to enter that market fast enough to truly compete. In addition, Redbox rental kiosks added another rental option for consumers. “This is not an easy decision, yet consumer demand is clearly moving to digital distribution of video entertainment,” said Joseph P. Clayton, DISH president and chief executive officer via a press release in November. “Despite our closing of the physical distribution elements of the business, we continue to see value in the Blockbuster brand, and we expect to leverage that brand as we continue to expand our digital offerings,” he added.

end to a part of many people’s entertainment experiences for the last two and a half decades. “I was so upset when I heard Blockbuster was closing,” said Mary Eaves, of Azle. “Having someone I can talk face to face makes a difference.” “Blockbuster has been around since I was a kid,” she continued. “And using Redbox is nothing like this.” “It’s just sad,” said Arvin Cordell. “I actually made friends there.” “I would go in and talk about a movie, watch it, and comeback and talk about it some more,” He continued. “Was it good, bad, too long, or too short – we’d talk about everything.” Customers aren’t the only ones feeling the twinge of regret for the way things were. “Renting a movie from Blockbuster used to be a Friday night tradition for a lot of people,” said Jeremy Chinchilla an Azle store employee. “After a football game people would come up here, get a DVD, popcorn and candy, pile into the living room, and watch the movie together.” We may be living in a digital world now, but kiosks can’t get to know a person and Netflix doesn’t necessarily give an honest opinion about the newest release. “Tuesday mornings there were at least 15 customers who would come in for the new The local effect The demise of the Texas-based rental chain movies,” Chinchilla continued. “I knew what Blockbuster in azle will close its doors for the last time on Jan 12.
