AHS boy placed in ‘2nd chance’ program BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN The Azle Police Department has concluded its investigation into an incident that occurred Wednesday, March 26 at Azle High School in which a threat was perceived. A student at the school was suspended pending the outcome of the criminal investigation. The student allegedly made a statement during the lunch period which at least one student interpreted as a Reba Michelle Weigart, 24, of Azle, was critically injured about 6 p.m. Thursday, March 26 while riding a Moped-type scooter in the 11600 threat. The incident was reported to AHS block of FM 730 North. According to the accident report filed by Azle police, Weigart was northbound when a southbound 2004 Fort Principal Sam Robinson near the end F250 pickup driven by Brandon Dale Crosby, 24, of Azle, turned in front of her. Weigart’s scooter struck the pickup and she was ejected, landing on the roadway behind the pickup. AirEvac Life Team 68 transported Weigart to John Peter Smith Hospital. The roadway was closed in both directions for several hours as Azle police conducted an advanced investigation into the accident.

Azle ISD stunned by $2.4 million boost Complex county deal injects district with a huge cash influx BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Several entities stand to gain financially from an economic development agreement in Parker County, but none more than the Azle Independent School District. Although initial projections indicated the AISD could receive upwards of $2 million in each year of the fiveyear agreement, Texas’ school finance

system may prevent the district from keeping much of that projected windfall. But we’ll get to that part in a minute. Big money Parker County Commissioners voted unanimously Tuesday, March 24 to approve an agreement – touted as the first tax abatement ever done by the

High Flying Hornet

county – with Trinidad Drilling LP, which will render drilling equipment valued between $200-225 million in the county to be taxed. According to Precinct One Commissioner George Conley, that equipment is utilized on drilling sites across the state. When used in a particular county for 365 days or longer, it must be rendered in that county.

But in many, if not most cases, the drilling rigs don’t stay in one location that long, and Chapter 381 of the Local Government Code gives companies the option of rendering the equipment in a county where it has a physical “yard.” Trinidad Drilling LP has one such yard in Parker County, where the tax rate of $0.4183 per $100,000 is entic-

ing. A Trinidad spokesperson said because the company’s yard is not located inside a city limits jurisdiction, its total effective rates are expected to be about $1.79 – they’d be closer to $2 in most other counties. The five-year agreement allows the PLEASE SEE ISD, PAGE 3A.

Paint it black... Auto dealer gets satisfaction when wild horses couldn’t stop authorities from recovering repainted pilfered pickup; it’s all over now

You can’t always get what you want. Neal Brister has operated Brister Motor Company, located in front of Azle Western Wear and across the parking lot from Dairy Queen, for as long as most people remember. Friends and customers alike know him as an honest, trustworthy – and trusting – man. So when a young fellow from Springtown came in Saturday, March 21 and asked if he could test drive a pickup on the lot, Brister got some personal information from him and handed him the keys. The young man was gone about 35 minutes before returning the red Chevrolet Silverado to Brister’s lot. Later, Brister left the lot; when he got back, the truck was gone. He reported the theft to Azle police, but the following day, Brister’s wife found a very similar pickup listed for sale on Craigslist. The phone number to call for information about the pickup? The same one given to Brister at the time of the test drive. At some point, the Craigslist ad JV high jumper Jamie Stevens clears 5 feet, 10 inches at the Rough Rider Relays in Saginaw March 27.

Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman Azle police, working in conjunction with the Fort Worth Police Department’s Zero Tolerance Team 3, set up a time and place to meet with the suspect under the pretense they would purchase the vehicle from him. Upon his arrival at the meeting place, the suspect was taken into custody without incident and the vehicle

– now spray-painted black – was recovered. The suspect was identified as Isaac Smith, 21. Smith – who still had spray paint on his hands – was booked into the Mansfield jail by Fort Worth PD officers. He was charged with theft $1,50020,000, a state jail felony.

pending the outcome of the police investigation. Both AISD and Azle PD officials have stated their belief that no students were ever in any danger and there has been no cause for alarm as it relates to the student’s remark. “No specific student or student group was identified in the statement and the campus was

But on Tuesday, March 31, Azle Police Chief Rick Pippins said the investigation revealed an offense did in fact occur. “After reviewing the facts, it was determined there was enough evidence to warrant charging the student with mak-

program through Fort Worth’s Lena Pope Home called Second Opportunity for Success, a seven-week program. “As long as the perpetrator and his or her family agree to the parameters of this diversion program, and if they successfully complete the program, the charge will be deferred,” Pippins said. “If they fail to

complete the program, criminal charges could be filed against the perpetrator.” He noted the program requires that both the perpetrator and his or her family participate and complete the program in order for charges to be deferred. Azle ISD administrators declined to comment on the student’s current status at the high school, citing privacy laws.

ISD gets jolted by out-of-blue millions n ISD, FROM PAGE ONE.

That number could fluctuate as the value of the rendered equipment changes, Conley explained. And it’s a fact that the AISD will add in excess of $200 million in taxable valuation to its 2015 tax roll as a result of the deal and receive the corresponding tax revenue in each year covered by the agreement. There’s just one little fly in the ointment, and it’s called …

AISD and other taxing entities affected – the Parker County Hospital District, Parker County Junior College District, and Parker County Emergency Services District 1 – to collect and retain 100 percent of the tax revenue they receive as a result of the deal. However, Parker County itself must rebate half the amount it receives back to Trinidad Drilling LP. The county expects to receive Texas School Finance System In the state of Texas, school about $1 million in tax revenue as a result of the deal; that rev- finance is a hot topic, but the enue will be split between the AISD has not historically seen county’s general fund and its a negative impact from the socalled “Robin Hood” system lateral road fund.

the district from keeping the lion’s share of that cash. He explained that in Texas, a school district is only allowed a specific dollar amount per student in its general operating fund each year. According to AISD Finance Director Monica Miller, it’s even more complicated than that, because the dollar amount is different among different student groups. But an example based on averages within the district at this time would mean that the AISD is allowed to have about $7,100 per student in attendance. The average number of students who attend Azle schools is currently 5,753, Miller said. If a district’s local tax base produces less than its allotted amount, the state of Texas kicks in the rest. That’s the way it’s been for the last couple of decades in Azle. However, if a district’s local tax base produces more than its allotted amount, the state of Texas reduces funding to that district by the amount in excess of its targeted amount, Lea and Miller explained. There is also the AISD’s interest and sinking (I&S) fund, which has a separate and much smaller tax rate. There’s no question that tax revenue generated for that I&S fund may be retained by the district, and that revenue may allow the debt on the AISD’s $20 million construction project currently underway to be paid off sooner than anticipated. District officials are still con-

151 children died at the hands of their abusers during 2014. April is Child Abuse Prevention month, and Friday, April 10 is “GO BLUE DAY” – the national day to recognize Child Abuse Prevention and wear blue. Childers will be busy visiting

every school district in Parker County to deliver pencils and stocky note pads for each student so they know how to report suspected child abuse. She’ll also be working directly with school counselors to make sure they have all the

information they need to recognize the signs and symptoms of child abuse. “With your help, our hope is to reduce these statistics,” Childers said in a letter to Parker County school districts, including the Azle ISD.

The numbers are staggering, according to Angie Childers, Parker County CPS Board Prevention Chair. In 2014, in the state of Texas, there were 66,572 allegations of child abuse. Even worse,

This is going to open the door for others...

Location, location, location Trinidad Drilling LP’s property is located in the 4900 block of E. Highway 199 about four miles northwest of Azle, and about five-and-a-half miles southeast of Springtown. Although the commissioners – especially Conley – had high hopes the Trinidad deal would benefit the Springtown Independent School District as well as the AISD, it doesn’t currently appear that will be the case. That’s because Trinidad’s property – although it has an address that reflects that it is located in Springtown – literally straddles the line separating the two school districts, with only a portion of the driveway sitting within the SISD, Conley said. But the commissioner believes similar economic development agreements and tax abatements can benefit Parker County residents, and he’s already working on some new possibilities. “This is going to open the door for others, and I look to see some similar things coming in. I really hope to do more like this in the Springtown and Azle areas,” Conley said, admitting he’s already working on something west of Springtown. “Even though Parker County has agreed to refund half the revenue the Trinidad deal generates, it leaves us with about $400,000 that will keep us from having to raise the tax rate or at least raise it only minimally.”

Craven takes helm at Lakeside

Senior Spotlight

Appointed interim administrator, he’ll remain active in PD by carla noah stutsman By a 4-1 vote termed a “vote of no confidence,” the Lakeside town council terminated Randy Whiteman as its town administrator in a March 19 council meeting. Whiteman assumed that position in October 2012. He had held similar administrator jobs in Ovilla, Coleman, and Springtown. Coincidentally, the town secretary, Debbie McLemore, resigned effective March 27. With two vacant positions at the top of town administration open, the council appointed Norman Craven – already a lieutenant with the Lakeside Police Department – to serve as interim town administrator at a March 25 meeting. Craven said he will continue to work in the police department but will concentrate his efforts on town business – and he’s excited for the opportunity of a new challenge. “I’ve been in public safety for 35 years and I’ve worked in the corporate world,” Craven said. “I’ve never experienced this side of public service, and I’m already enjoying it. “We have a truly great staff here, including the water and police departments, and the working environment – well, this is just a great place to be.” Craven is already getting up to speed to begin driving Lakeside’s ongoing water project to completion. “I’m trying to stay on top and learn as much as I can,” he said, adding that the “biggest goal

we have is to bring the best customer service experience possible to our citizens.” Craven holds a bachelor of applied arts and science degree in criminal justice and management information systems from Dallas Baptist University and is a graduate of the Bill Blackwood Law Enforcement Management Institute of Texas, the Leadership Command College (Class #8) at Sam Houston State University, and most recently the Command Leadership Series program. His resume includes 35 years as a law enforcement officer with the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office and North Richland Hills Police Department, as well as consultant work with the cities of Fort Worth and San Antonio and private sector work with TriTech and Interact Public Safety. He has command level experience in police/ security management; extensive experience in project management, computer systems, LAN/WAN and Wi-Fi networks; software, Internet search engines, social media, and public safety technology. Craven is a Fort Worth native who grew up on the city’s north side and graduated from North Side High School “just before dirt was invented” in 1977. He met his wife of almost 30 years when they both worked in North Richland Hills. They have a 29-year-old son who is a calltaker for Fort Worth PD. And while he’s excited and enthusiastic

about the possibilities his appointment as interim town administrator presents, Craven says nothing in his life is more exciting than his 16-month-old grandson.

Obituaries Robert (Bob) Lee Bryant 1942-2015

With heavy hearts, we announce the passing of a loving husband and father, Robert (Bob) Lee Bryant. Private funeral service and interment will be held at Shiloh Baptist Cemetery in Texarkana, Arkansas Bob was born November 18, 1942 in Texarkana, Arkansas to Robert Frances Bryant and Bertie Lee Stice Bryant Philley. He lived in many places in Texas during his lifetime. He spent his early childhood in Hamlin, Texas. He spent his school years in Abilene and graduated from Abilene High School in 1960. He married the love of his life, Mary Ann Harless Bryant from Ponca City, Oklahoma on November 18, 1961. They had a great time travelling with what was then Western Electric Company. Bob gained knowledge of the telephone business and some lifelong friends through these adventures of being on ‘transfer’ in Texas cities such as Corpus Christi, Houston and Pampa. Their daughter, Ramona Loleta, was born in Abilene in 1965, and a couple of years later, September 18, 1967 to be exact, Michael Martin was born in Abilene also. But, soon thereafter, they moved to Burkburnett where Bob and his family became involved in small town life. They lived on Preston RD where (Michael) Martin was known for regularly visiting the neighbors in his birthday suit while Ramona ran to Mary Ann to tattle on him. The Bryant family grieved immensely when Martin died from meningitis on September 18, 1969. Bob is surely hugging his son in heaven today! Later they moved to Easy St to

try to move on with life without Martin. JanLee Baptist Church, Johnnie Yates and the Masonic Lodge in Burkburnett where he earned the 32nd degree, were important influences in Bob’s life. He was known to all he knew as a man of intelligence, integrity and fairness. The family made many good friends in Burkburnett and in Wichita Falls where Bob worked. In 1977 Bob moved his family to Hurst, Texas where he remained working at AT&T for 38 years. During those years, he was involved in North Richland Hills Baptist Church and even though he couldn’t sing a note, he spent many hours helping the choir with the ‘Christmas Pageant’ and anything else the church asked of him. When Bob retired, he and Mary Ann had been sponsoring a foreign exchange student, Fabio Hatori, while living in Springtown. If asked, they would tell you they love Fabio as one of their own kids. But even with this, Bob wasn’t really ready to retire from working. He went to work for Marconi who then became Emerson. The funny part of this transition in life is that he was now the expert (and almost indispensible) auditor that AT&T, his former employer, depended on to ensure the central office wiring got installed correctly! Since he travelled so much with this job, Bob and Mary Ann decided to live part of their retirement dream before time slipped away. They bought 40 acres in East Texas and built their ‘forever’ home. For a few years, Bob was a cattleman with a herd of 8 cows and one bull named Black Tres, or as son-in-law Patrick Passmore called him ‘Sir Loin’. They have a lake behind the house for fishing and Bob loved to fish! He taught his granddaughters, Rachel Ann and Rylie Loleta Passmore, how to fish and how to drive golf carts all over the property. Bob enjoyed sitting at the ‘Table of Knowledge’ in the mornings at ‘The Shed Cafe’ in Edom, TX near where they lived. As Bob grew older, it was evident to his family that he missed his calling. He should have been a weatherman. Any

time a storm was brewing, his daughter could expect a call from her dad letting her know of impending danger. Speculation between family members is that his grand dad, Otto M. Stice, impressed upon a young Bob, the importance of the weather to the Stice farm where Bob was raised so early in his life. He went to be with our Lord and Savior on Wednesday , March 18, 2015. At the time of his death, he lived in Van Zandt County, Texas near Ben Wheeler, Texas. So many are welcoming Bob to the golden streets of heaven while those of us remain here to do the work our Lord has for us.

Bob is survived by his wife, Mary Ann Harless Bryant of Ben Wheeler area, Van Zandt County, Texas; daughter, Ramona Loleta Bryant Passmore, son-in-law, Patrick Earl Passmore; granddaughters, Rachel Ann and Rylie Loleta Passmore of Hurst; his sister, Diana Francis Bryant Patterson of Colbert, Oklahoma and her children, Shannon Lee Bryant of Lubbock, Texas and Vi’ Lynda Cherese Patterson Hancock of Colbert, Oklahoma and their children.

Walnut Creek Elementary PTO would like to send out a HUGE THANK YOU to our wonderfully supportive community & specifically—those who contributed & donated to our Annual Chili Bingo & Silent Auction which was held on Thursday, March 19th. The event was originally scheduled for Friday, February 27th but had to be rescheduled due to snow. The annual fundraiser for our school always proves to be an exciting night for all! This year had its own set of challenges with the weather, which made this years event that much more anticipated! Thanks to our ever supportive parents and staff who came out to support this night of fundraising and fun despite date change! At Press time, our net profit was over $7, 200 which would not be possible without all of the many wonderful parents, staff, teachers and businesses that contributed in some shape or form. Special thanks to Principal Hanson for her support & to our amazing teachers who donated some very special items & services to our Silent Auction. We also want to recognize our hardworking & generous PTO members who have donated items and their time to this event. We are especially grateful to all the parents who sent in items for the silent auction, food items, baskets, or money to purchase these things. We publically say thank you to all of those involved- without your help, events and fundraisers like these would not be successful! Businesses who have contributed are listed as follows. Please return the favor by supporting those who support our kids. Thank you all so much for your time, effort and consideration for the children of Azle. Your contributions do not go unnoticed!

But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, 5 even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved— 6 and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus,7 so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. 8 For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, 9 not a result of works, so that no one may boast. --Ephesians 2:4-8 4

OPINION

Wednesday, April 1, 2015

12A

www.azlenews.net

It’s enough to make you weep – no kidding

n the radio the other day, a macho guy confessed to tearing up every time he heard a certain song. His workmates could not guess what song could possibly make the bad boy weep. It was “I Will Always Love You” by Whitney Houston from the movie The Bodyguard. Which made everyone else on the radio show burst into laughter. He said he couldn’t stop the tears because it reminded him of the scene where Houston runs into Kevin Costner’s arms as the ballad is belted out. Later, another guy admitted to welling up when he heard the opening to the theme from Raiders of the Lost Ark. He was immediately catapulted back to his youth when he had lined up again and again to watch the action-packed movie with his buddies.

Everyone has songs that bring waves of nostalgia. When I was a firefighter, we went crazy for two songs every time they came on MTV. (Clearly, this was many years ago.) One, we burly studs pranced around to “Ice, Ice Baby” by Vanilla Ice. (Yes, that song’s a punch line now, but, holy cow, it took over the world for a while there in 1990.) Two, had we been spied, the task force might’ve lost some of its studly cred when we were found high-pitching in unison to “Nothing Compares 2 U” by Sinead O’Connor. Not all fire department nostalgia songs are happy. The first time I heard Garth Brooks’ “The Dance” was at the funeral of a beloved captain who had died on a fireground. I still can’t listen to that song today, decades later. Everybody can trace their lives

through songs. Me: • “Hush” by Deep Purple – first 45 I ever bought • “Back in the U.S.S.R.” by the Beatles – first song on the “White Album” I wanted ON YOUR for Christmas as a 12 year MARK old or I would Mark K. Campbell die! • “The Joker” by Steve Miller – bought it on my high school senior trip to Houston • “Saturday Night’s Alright for Fighting” by Elton John – the first song I danced to at the University of Texas’ “Welcome Freshmen” dance in

the dorm cafeteria in the fall of 1974 • “London Homesick Blues” by Jerry Jeff Walker – played at college over and over when “redneck rock” was on the rise in Austin • “Colour My World” by Chicago – our wedding song • “Waiting for the End of the World” by Elvis Costello – heard almost constantly on the 8-track player going to and from softball games • “Wheel in the Sky” by Journey – the song that woke the Bride and me up for work every morning for months in 1978 • “We Will Rock You” by Queen – young daughter booty shakin’ while holding onto speakers bigger than her is something you don’t forget And all these songs just get me up to age 24. These tunes are pleasant memories, but none make me tear up. However, I

recently attended an event with a song that did. It was the Fort Worth symphony – that sounds hoity-toity, but it was Irish music for a common man’s St. Patrick’s Day program that included some brightly colored young ladies’ fancy reeling footwork. Anyway, before the festivities, the conductor turned and instructed the audience to stand. Then, with full symphonics, hundreds of patrons all sang “The Star-Spangled Banner.” Young and old, every nationality – everyone sang. Together. My soul leapt and I could barely finish as my eyes filled up. It was so stirring! I can’t remember not knowing our national anthem. It’s the most nostalgic song I know. Mark K. Campbell is the News editor, and he can get misty at “Texas Our Texas” too.

• Rice knowing full well of the prima facie evidence by Judge Advocates Generals Office had against Bergdahl as a deserter in time of war • Rice contemptuously flinging out vitriol and mendacities of the fine soldiers who spoke up that Bergdahl had abandoned his post to join the enemy One would have to say that Rice is so divorced from reality, that reality should be mandated to pay her alimony for support of ineptness. And Mr. Obama should be impeached for his continual skirting of the Constitution. Now that the investigation is complete and it’s official that Bergdahl has been charged with desertion and con-

duct unbecoming, does Rice have any compunction of remorse towards the men she scurrilously and falsely accused as liars? Will Obama abandon this apparent simpatico cozy relationship he has with these jihadists? Well, the last time I checked, Obama wants to merge these monsters into job training and community college degrees, and Ms. Rice is still hitting talk shows showing her tone of hubris. And for Bergdahl – my bet will be a full pardon by the president and he’ll land a job at the post office. Elections matter, America. Joseph Bryan Fort Worth

How to know when you are a real book lover

or several years now the Texas State Historical Association has hosted a “Book Lovers' Breakfast” at their annual convention in early March. This year the speaker was Kurt Zimmerman, a book collector. Now, I'm a book collector, but not like he is. He collects very expensive rare books, first editions, very old, etc. He mentioned his blog called American Book Collector and a website www.bookcollectinghistory.com. He was a co-founder of a book collecting club in Houston which has 20 members. With so few members in as big a city as Houston, you know they are the few with the resources to collect very rare books. Zimmerman mentioned a book called A Gentle Madness about book collecting and explained that the hobby, pastime, passion, compulsion (or whatever one calls it) of book collecting has changed. The pre-internet book world was slower paced, involving a lot of

THE

searching for a real find. Beginning in the 1990s dealers began posting all the books they had for sale online. He explained that now you say “want saves” to let people know the book you want, and those who have it and want to deal will be able to get in touch. Ebay is a source that book collectors use. These days it is much easier to find the volumes you want. Folks who like books are aware that Texas writer Larry McMurtry (whom I mentioned in my column last week) has purchased several buildings on the town square in Archer City and filled them with books. He is allowing some of them to be sold. Zimmerman said he went to an auction at McMurtry's in Archer City, but he didn't tell us what he purchased. Zimmerman ended his comments with excerpts from a blog post he wrote recently, which I found quite interesting. He made a list and said “You know you are a book collector when... • The insurance value of your books is greater than the value of your home. • You use a separate credit card for

You know you are a real book lover when... • You still have all the children's books your parents bought you. • You remember the book that set you on a reading spree in the third grade, The Mexican Twins, a fictional series about other cultures– Dutch twins, French twins, etc. • Notice of a library book sale goes on your calendar and you keep checking the date. • The main reason you go to garage sales is to look for books. • Book purchases at history conventions are based on how many will fit in your suitcase. • You hate to lend someone a book for fear they won't bring it back. • You build a room on the back of the house 25' x 25' with ceiling to floor bookshelves, and they're all full. • The postman sometimes has to

House, Senate primary task: adopting budget

any given year. T h i s is projected to reduce property taxes in the state by $2.1 billion o v e r STATE the next t w o CAPITAL ears. HIGHLIGHTS yBecause Ed Sterling t h i s change in the law will require an amendment to the state constitution, voters will get a chance to decide on this issue in September, according to Senate documents. Two other Senate bills seek to reduce the franchise tax. Nelson’s SB 7 reduces the overall rate by 15 percent and cuts the ‘EZ Rate’ used by busi-

the state budget, is still under construction in the Senate Finance Committee. Differences in SB 2 and HB 1 must be reconciled by the two bodies in order to become enrolled as law. Comptroller Glenn Hegar’s biennial revenue estimate for fiscal years 2016 and 2017 suggests $113 billion in state funds will be available for general purpose spending. Lawmakers’ promises of fiscal conservatism suggest a finished state budget well under the available amount.

he House Appropriations Committee on March 24 unanimously approved the General Appropriations Act (House Bill 1) — the first hurdle toward passing a state budget for fiscal years 2016 and 2017. The committee’s chair, state Rep. John Otto, R-Dayton, and the 27-member committee’s work earned the praise of House Speaker Joe Straus, who said HB 1 is “a responsible, disciplined plan that sets the right priorities for a growing state. It addresses education and transportation, it increases transparency and it will allow the House to provide meaningful tax relief.” HB 1 awaits consideration by the full House and a long list of proposed amendments to it will be debated on the House floor in the coming days. SB 2, the Senate version of

Senate passes tax-cut bills Senate Bill 1 and Senate Joint Resolution 1 were passed by the Senate last week and have moved to the House for consideration. The bills, by Senate Finance Chair Jane Nelson, RFlower Mound, seek to tie the homestead exemption to home prices and allow homeowners to write off 25 percent of the average home price in Texas in

nesses that make less than $20 million, by 40 percent. SB 8 by Sen. Charles Schwertner, R-Georgetown, would exempt businesses that make less than $4 million in annual revenue from the franchise levy. Currently, only businesses with less than $1 million in revenue are exempt. More than 60,000 small businesses would no longer have to pay the franchise tax if SB 8 becomes law. House passes cell phone bill On a vote of 104-39, the House on March 26 passed legislation regulating the use of a portable wireless communication device while operating a motor vehicle. Committee Substitute House Bill 80 sets a fine of at least $25 and not more than $99 for the misdemeanor offense involving the operation of a vehicle by a person under 18 years of age while using a wireless communication device or the opera-

tion of a motorcycle or moped by a person under 17 years of age who holds a restricted motorcycle or moped license while using a wireless communication device. The bill enhances the punishment for such offense to a fine of at least $100 and not more than $200 for a previous conviction of an offense relating to the operation of a vehicle by a person under 18 years of age. One of the bill’s many effects is a requirement that the Department of Public Safety include in driver’s license examinations a test of the applicant’s knowledge of the effect of using a wireless communication device or engaging in other actions that may distract a driver.

that make $80,000 a year.” The most powerful opponent of school vouchers was Kyle Henderson, Pastor of the First Baptist Church of Athens who had this to say about the subject, “In the beginning, temptation appeared as a fruit. Today, it appears in the shape of vouchers. As tempting as it may be for private, religious schools to pluck the low hanging fruit of ‘free’ public money, the cost is too great.” I don’t know about you, but I don’t want my tax dollars going to private schools; public schools are too drastically underfunded as it is.

lic schools to improve or risk losing funding fostering educational competition. But even some Republicans worried about a lack of accountability of private schools which don’t have to meet the same academic standards as public schools, plus vouchers for private school tuition would drain funds from public schools. Also of concern was that state funding might allow “government overreach” into private schools. All of those arguments against vouchers seem to make sense. The second bill was downplayed by one Democratic Senator who was quoted as saying, “I don’t know too many ‘havenots’ who come from families

Dear Editor, Two of the latest fiascoes discussed in the Texas Legislature were two education bills, one for school vouchers and one to create a nonprofit to which business, for a tax credit, could donate money to help families afford to send their children to private schools with qualifying families having possible annual incomes of up to $80,000. One argument for school vouchers was that tax dollars sent to the public school system are not always efficiently spent. Another was that giving taxpayer subsidies (vouchers) to parents would encourage pub-

Azle soccer squads exit playoffs in bi-district Grapevine eliminates AHS in Saginaw

by mark k. campbell Promising soccer seasons ended in bi-district for Azle High School varsities, but don’t think the seasons weren’t successful, coaches said. At Saginaw High School March 26, Grapevine eliminated AHS. The girls played first, falling 6-0. Afterward, the boys lost to their Mustang counterparts 2-0. First year coach Jason Beck had nothing but praise for the Lady Hornets. “The girls had a great year and should be proud of what they accomplished,” he said. “I know I am.” Like the boys, the girls suffered injuries to key personnel Azle keeper Kevin Hernandez, a junior, leaps to stop a Mustang shot.

did their part to help the team be successful,” Beck said. The Hornet varsity hung with the Mustangs for much of the match. Coach Ben Buentello said that his squad – which began 2015 12-0 – hung tough despite two crucial injuries, one to a top player, Dylan Tritton, before district began and then another to the No. 1 keeper, Austin McCash who got hurt early in 5-5A play. “Although it was tough, this team was very senior heavy, so we still had quite a bit of leadership which helped us through some tough times,” the coach said. Azle returned to the playoffs for the fourth consecutive season.

No. 2 Azle edges No. 5 Brewer in final at bat See-saw victory keeps AHS unmarred in 5-5A play by mark k. campbell When Brewer came to the Lady Hornet diamond, both teams were state ranked; everyone expected a memorable clash and that’s what happened. Azle (16-1, 6-0), No. 2 in 5A, had come off a 12-0 romp of Denton with Samantha Bradley hurling a 1-hitter. The Lady Bears, led by former Azle coach Vera Ortega, showed early on why they are ranked No. 5 in the state. Brewer jumped out to a 2-0 lead in the first inning. That advantage held until the bottom of the fourth when Azle got a run back. That began the ping-ponging of the game as each team answered rival’s scores. After AHS tied the contest at 2-2 after five innings, the Lady Bears answered with a run. Azle got two, however, in the It’s a close play late in the Brewer game as AHS coach Tracy Tadlock (left) encourages Lady Hornet Raelyn bottom of the sixth with AHS Temple to get down as the ball arrives at third base.

Bradley spanked her second double of the game. With 2 outs, deadly hitter Makenzi Harris stood at the plate. The senior sent a chopper to shortstop. While Harris raced toward first base, Bradley rounded third and headed for home. The Lady Bear throw drew the first baseman off the bag, and Bradley scored. But umpires conferred, making sure of the call. When Harris was ruled safe, Azle had won. Coach Tracy Tadlock referred to the game as “two heavyweights standing in front of each other trading shots.” Azle got the last punch in – and the victory.

Home is a safe place to take your children In these days of social media, everyone is a critic. And, sometimes, their cyberwaves can cause damage to a movie. Certainly Tweeters and Facebookers had a go at one of the voice stars of Home these last couple of weeks. About the film Lots of folks were not too crazy about the heavily-tattooed Rihanna being the star of a child-slanted animated movie. Her music isn’t exactly kid friendly with songs like “S&M” and albums that are slapped with Explicit Content labels. She a neo-modern, scantilyclad pop singer whose antics, when mimicked by little girls attached to their iDevices, make soccer moms faint. But here Rihanna was – with a bevy of songs as well – heading a heavily-hyped cartoon aimed at children. Then there’s her famous confrontation with Chris Brown where Rihanna was physically assaulted – and she later returned to him; cyberspace has a big problem with that. Hence, social media lit up with concerns about Rihanna and Home. But it didn’t matter in the end. Home opened big at around $54 million and will keep making decent money for the next several weeks. So, the social media vampires move on to their next cultural victim.

for transport. An internet message from Oh – an invite to a party – alerts Gorg to the Boovs’ new location. The only way to stop Gorg is to figure out Oh’s password. But finding Oh himself is a problem; he’s on the run with Tip, to help her find her mother Lucy (Jennifer Lopez). With Pig tagging along, Tip and Oh head out on a road trip in a hover car converted by the alien. They find where Lucy is but first must stop Gorg. It looks like they succeed but then Gorg arrives ready to destroy the earth anyway. However, Oh figures out what exactly it is that Gorg wants – something that can save the world and the Boovs. What works Parsons is funny and Rihanna isn’t bad. His herky-jerky, queer English delivery gets laughs and Rihanna delivers some zingers. Home looks lovely. All the Boovs constantly change color and sometimes the screen lights up like a rainbow. There are a couple of solid scenes, including one where Tip waits for Oh who had dived into the ocean’s depths to “cool his core.” The sea reflects

Movie Man a wildly-starry night – Van Gogh’s “Starry Night” painting shows up in the movie, too – and it’s a knockout. (There’s some good 3-D here, reminiscent of Life of Pi [2012, Movie Man No. 1011, a 9, Best of Year] and that’s high praise.) The dancing scene teased on coming attractions delighted the audience most. The final reveal – what Gorg really wants from the Boov – is creative. Best scene (spoiler) Oh’s Boovian race is fleeing again since Gorg knows where they are and has arrived to destroy Earth. Oh has promised to help Tip

find her mom and they are very close to doing so in Australia. But his only chance for survival with his race is to leave right now. He can’t decide – looking back and forth frantically between the Boov spaceship and Tip to whom he owes a vow. The scene is powerful, especially for children.

bar so high with the Shreks (one and two are Movie Man Bests of Year) that it’s nigh impossible to keep that pace. But Home doesn’t come close. It’s a safe movie with few adult jokes hidden about; most of the kids’ laughs come via the slapstick from Oh’s and the cat Pig’s tumbles. There were stretches of several minutes where there were no laughs at all, even from the children attending. Since the movie is so gentle, so is the message. This is Animation 101 – kid separated from parent, an unlikely friendship, a cute pet, imperiled situations, potty humor, learning to get along, happy ending – and that’s a snoozer for animation vets.

Watch the skies! by mark k. campbell They have their own secret language. Beaver tail. Rain foot. Virga. Scud. Such descriptions are common conversation starters for storm spotters. At a March 30 seminar put on by meteorologist Mark Fox of the National Weather Service at Weatherford College, this lingo and plenty of other queer verbiage proved invaluable in determining whether an approaching storm is just a rain-maker or could evolve into a tornado-spewing behemoth. Fox said Skywarn-trained storm spotters are essential for NWS meteorologists to determine exactly what’s going on weather-wise on any given agitated day. Then that information is passed on to media broadcasters who give the public the latest data. In severe weather, Fox said, even the high-tech NWS Dallas-Fort Worth facility can’t discern everything that’s occurring on turbulent days. “Eyes on the storm” are always needed. Hundreds of those eyes were focused on Fox as he detailed methods for deciphering the sky for clues that reveal how a simple looking cloud can blossom into a potentially deadly supercell. Those are the bad guys – supercells. The mighty storms can bring heavy rain, substantial hail, and tornados. But they can be ID’d early and advance warning can save lives. Ever-rotating supercells display specific mannerisms at multiple levels. At the mid and upper levels of the storms, a thick anvil shaped peak will be accompanied by a “cauliflower” updraft tower. The storm could brandish “stacked ridges” also known as striations. Nearer the ground supercells will possess a wall cloud – the lowest level bulge that’s almost always rain-free. Adjacent will be an inflow area where warm, moist air is getting sucked into the storm, along with scuds – small unattached clouds that involuntarily become part of the supercell. There could also be a beaver tail – a low, broad, flat cloud that is attached to the updraft base. NWS meteorologists can’t see the inflow updraft column on radar, making spotters’ work crucial. The tornado threat rises when air flow into the supercell increases, and there is visible rotation beyond the massive complex’s general movement. Fox said shelf clouds mimic wall clouds and knowing the

Storm spotters keep their eyes on the skies ering roadways, mistakenly believing a high-profile vehicle can traverse the powerful flow. Fox went on to lecture spotters – some attending again for refreshment or renewed certification – of the importance of being cautious when out in the field. He said spotters always need an escape route, and they need to be aware of nearby intersections and roadways to give accurate reports. And lightning is always a danger, no matter the storm size. After two hours, the basic course had been covered and attendees now knew that strong outflow winds can cause a rain foot: “a horizontal bulging of a precipitation shaft near the ground, forming a foot-shaped The anatomy of a supercell shown during the National prominence.” Spotters could now inform Weather Service’s storm spotter class conducted in Weatherford March 30. Photo by Mark K. Campbell others that virga is rain that information after heavy rains, too. Fox said flash flooding kills more people annually expected, Fox said. Hail sizes range from ¼ inch than tornados. He added that – “pea” – to 4.5 inches – “soft- 75 percent of flash flood deaths are men, often trying to drive ball.” Spotters provide important through the rushing water covn STORM, FROM PAGE 1B.

PC indicts 3 from Springtown, 1 from Azle by carla noah stutsman A Parker County grand jury handed down 21 indictments when it met to consider evidence in criminal cases presented by the Parker County District Attorney’s Office March 19. Of the 21 individuals indicted, three are from the Springtown area and one is from Azle. • Kenneth Lee Stembridge,

30, of Springtown, was indicted for possession of a controlled substance in penalty group 1, less than one gram, a state jail felony. • Dakota Shawn Gilbert, 22, of Springtown, was indicted for sexual assault of a child, a second-degree felony. • Shawn Patrick Hurst III, 20, Springtown, was indicted for

evading arrest with a vehicle, a third-degree felony, and for aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a second-degree felony. • Corey Gene Morrison, 34, of Azle, was indicted for burglary of a building, a state jail felony.
