Habitual drunk driver arrested again

Library gala nets $135K by carla noah stutsman Love for the Azle Memorial Library – often called the “hallmark of Azle” – crosses all economic boundaries. That fact was proven again Saturday evening, Oct. 11, when the Azle Library Trust hosted its biennial fundraiser, the 2014 Azle Memorial Gala, at the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. The event was co-chaired by a trio of 1978 Azle High School graduates and longtime friends: Tracy Rector, Lisa Daugherty, and Sara Langston. With a nod to the old adage “if you want something done right, have a woman do it,” a planning committee comprised of 30 women spearheaded the event. From a meal prepared by Sodexo Catering, to the Latest-Greatest Gadget Raffle and eight premier live auction packages, a dessert and coffee bar and live music by Aurora Bleu (who will also appear in the 2015 Music in the Park Summer Concert Series presented free by the city of Azle in Central Park) and dancing, the night was declared a resounding success by all who attended. More importantly, though, the event accomplished its objective to provide opportunities for library supporters to be part of the fundraising effort that keeps the library truly “state-of-theart.” Those opportunities were many, with levels ranging from a single $10 raffle ticket, to $250 and $500 honorary and/or memorial Heritage Oak Leaves, to extravagant getaway packages worth tens of thousands of dollars. “One thing I think really drove the net funds raised to almost $135,000 this year was our Making It Great, Together auction,” Rector said. “We listed examples of items a particular dollar amount could provide – like the fact that a $100 donation could provide snacks and drinks for monthly Teen Advisory Group meetings for an entire year – and gave people the opportunity to donate that amount.” The idea was to provide something

tangible supporters could donate to, regardless of their income bracket. People from all walks of life who love the AML can support it that way, and not only those people who happen to have deep pockets, Rector said. “It’s those small donations that really made a difference this year to the Gala,” she continued. “It really is a community effort to make it successful.” The turnout for the event was im-

pressive, as well. “We (co-chairs and committee) are thrilled with the response, the number of people that came out to be a part of this effort. It was a good mix of people in the Azle community,” Rector said. by carla noah stutsman Azle police officers arrested a “It’s obvious this community loves 58-year-old Lake Worth man Sept. 27 this library, and we are so excited to be able to raise the funds needed to and charged him with driving while intoxicated (DWI) after the man crashed make it a state-of-the-art library.” his pickup through a residential fence. PLEASE SEE $135K, PAGE 3A. They soon learned that David Thomas Smith has a lengthy record of driving under the influence of alcohol. The Azle News has learned that Smith’s latest arrest in Azle is his fifth DWI arrest in this city alone.

Man’s arrest for DWI is his 5th in Azle Smith was convicted for a misdemeanor DWI offense that occurred in Azle in November 1987 and sentenced to two years in jail. In May of 1993, Smith was arrested in Azle a second time for DWI. Before that case went to court, Smith was again arrested – inside the Azle city limits – in August 1993 and again charged with driving while intoxicated. PLEASE SEE FIFTH, PAGE 2A.

Student health, safety lead school closure decisions AISD procedures outlined by carla noah stutsman The weather forecasting community is predicting the winter of 2014-2015 to be both wetter and colder than average, which points to the possibility of more snow and ice. Across the nation, Enterovirus D68 (EV-D68) is infecting more and more people, mostly infants, children and teenagers, and causing respiratory difficulties and flu-like symptoms. Then there is the first Ebola case in the nation – in Dallas, just 50 miles from Azle – that resulted in the death of a Liberian man.

Weather closures When weather situations develop overnight, the AISD Superintendent, Director of District Operations and transportation personnel begin driving the roads across the district in the wee hours of the morning. Local weather forecasts are also carefully monitored. The first buses leave the transportation department each weekday at 6 a.m., so a decision must be made prior to that time.

October sales tax revenues mostly up by carla noah stutsman With just two rather minor exceptions, it’s all good news when it comes to October sales tax revenue for local cities and special purpose districts. Texas Comptroller Susan Combs said Wednesday, Oct., 8 that state sales tax revenue in September was $2.17 billion, up 7.9 percent compared to September 2013. The sales tax figures represent monthly sales made in August. The cities of Azle, Springtown Sanctuary and Lakeside, as well as Azle’s two special purpose districts and Parker County each bested their October 2013 revenues. Only the cities of Reno and Pelican Bay saw decreased revenue in October when compared with October 2013. Azle’s October revenue of $169,263 is 3.95 percent higher than the $162,829 it received in the same month in 2013. Its year-to-date revenue of $1,777,988 represents a one percent increase over revenues received through October 2013. Azle’s Crime Control and Prevention District took in $32,391 in October. Compared with $31,264 in October 2013, that’s a 3.60 percent increase. So far in 2014, the district has received $331,307, or 0.56 percent more than the $329,435 it logged through last October. The city’s Municipal Development District received $33,121 in October, and has received $323,452 year-to-date. No comparisons may be drawn

to last year because the MDD has not yet been collecting sales tax for a year. In Springtown, October revenue of $89,772 is 24.17 percent more than the $72,298 the city received in October 2013. That’s enough to push the city into black numbers for the year, with $757,327 received so far in 2014. That’s 1.8 percent more than it collected through October of 2013 – $743,350. The city of Sanctuary, too, saw a big increase – 35.60 percent – from October revenue of $947 to $1,284 this month. Year-to-date, the city’s sales tax revenue is $12,226, up 8.50 percent from the first 10 months of 2013 revenues of $11,268. The town of Lakeside is still riding high on a one percent voter-approved sales tax increase to reduce property taxes for its citizens. The town’s October revenue is $10,785, a 109.91 percent increase from October 2013, when it received $5,138. For the year, the town has received $137,376, 126.93 percent more than the $60,535 it received through the first 10 months of 2013. The city of Reno recorded October revenue of $7,083, down a mere 1.02 percent from October 2013, when it received $7,157. Year-to-date totals of $67,987 are 2.89 percent less than the $70,014 it received through October 2013. And in Pelican Bay, October revenue was $1,491 – 4.72 percent less than in October 2013, when it received $1,565. The

city has received $16,029 so far in 2014. That’s 2.25 percent more than its year-to-date revenue through October 2013 of $15,676. Parker County’s October sales tax revenue of $570,138 represents an increase of 4.81 percent from October 2013 revenue of $543,925. The county’s year-to-date revenue for 2014 is $6,063,597, which is 5.60 percent more than it received during the first 10 months of 2013, $5,741,627. Across the state, sales tax revenues for municipalities are up an average of 6.40 percent compared with this time last year. “Significant growth in sales tax revenues occurred across all major economic sectors, reflecting strength in both business and consumer spending,” Combs said. “The gains were led by remittances from the oil and natural gas-related and manufacturing sectors, as well as from restaurants and retail trade.” Combs will send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts their October local sales tax allocations totaling $621.7 million, up 7.2 percent compared to October 2013. For details of October sales tax allocations to individual cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose districts, locate the Monthly Sales Tax Allocation Comparison Summary Reports on the Comptroller’s website at www.window. state.tx.us/taxinfo/allocsum/ compsum.html.

Street Maintenance Sales Tax In February 2003, Azle voters approved a one-fourth cent sales tax to fund repairs and maintenance of existing streets. On Election Day, November 4, 2014, Azle voters will have the opportunity to vote for or against the reauthorization of the Street Maintenance Sales Tax. The sales tax may be used to only maintain and repair existing streets. It may not be used to build new streets. Since 2003, the Street Maintenance Sales Tax has generated over $3,929,187. The city uses the money to rehabilitate and/or overlay streets throughout the city. A total of 19.14 miles of Azle streets have been reclaimed or overlaid using Street Maintenance Sales Tax revenue. 11.4 miles of streets are still in need of repair. A brochure detailing the Street Maintenance Sales Tax is available on the city website or at City Hall.

Fall Leaves

Autumn brings cooler temperatures and the arrival of falling leaves. There are four basic ways to manage leaves: Mowing – a light covering of leaves can be mowed, leaving the shredded leaves in place on the lawn. This technique is most effective when a mulching mower is used. Mulching – a lawn mower with a bagging attachment provides a fast and easy way to shred and collect the leaves. Apply a three to four inch layer of shredded leaves around the base of trees and shrubs. A two to three inch mulch of shredded leaves is ideal for flower beds. For vegetable gardens, a thick layer of leaves placed between rows functions as a mulch and an all-weather walkway allowing you to work in your garden during wet periods. Composting – in addition to leaves, other yard wastes such as grass clippings, pine needles, weeds, and small prunings can be composted. Compost can serve as a soil conditioner nourishing your yard and reducing the need for outdoor watering up to 60 percent. Soil Improvement – leaves may be collected and worked directly into garden and flower bed soils. A six to eight inch layer of leaves tilled into a heavy, clay soil will improve aeration and drainage. The same amount tilled into a light, sandy soil, will improve water and nutrient holding capacity. If you wish to bag your leaves, CWD will collect them on your second collection day along with your regular garbage (no more than 10 bags of leaves). Any amount of bagged leaves over 10 will not be picked up until your next week’s second collection day. If you have any questions, please contact CWD at (817) 795.9300.

OCTOBER U.S. Health Advisors’ Betty Horton knows that managing day-to-day stress through exercise, even something as simple as taking 10 to 15 minute walk breaks during the day, or practicing meditation can aid good health.

Handling your stress crucial for good health For those who celebrate Halloween, October is the month for spooky decorations, haunted houses, and fantastic costumes. While many of us enjoy a pretend fright in real life, anxiety and stress are no joke. According to the Mayo Clinic, “Stress symptoms may be affecting your health, even though you might not realize it.” Most of us recognize some of the basic signs of stress: • headaches • shortness of breath • sleeplessness • tight muscles But did you know that, over time, your body’s built-in physical responses can worsen or increase the risk of chronic health problems such as high blood pressure, heart disease, obesity, diabetes, and gastrointestinal disease? When your body perceives a threat, blood vessels constrict, you breathe faster, blood pressure elevates, and your adrenaline kicks in. This threat response is not supposed to last for prolonged periods of time. When it does, problems can follow. Managing stress is an important way to protect your good health. Managing day-to-day stress through exercise – even something as simple as taking 10 to 15 minute walk breaks during the day – or by practicing meditation can help. Getting enough sleep is important to reduce stress and improve your overall health. If you are having trouble sleeping at night, try discontinuing use of electronics one hour before bedtime;

sleep in a cool, darkened room; and stop drinking caffeinated beverages after 3 p.m. When stress is overwhelming and unavoidable, such as being in a longterm caregiving situation or undertaking a high-pressure project at work, eat well-balanced, nutritious foods rather than going overboard on junk foods. Ask yourself if you are eating because you are hungry or because you are stressed and act accordingly. Don’t isolate; rely on your support system or friends, family, church, local support groups, or online communities. You cannot help others if you get sick or so overburdened that you cannot continue. Stress makes it easy to ignore more serious symptoms, which may not have anything to with external factors. If you don’t feel like yourself, talk to your doctor to determine whether it’s “just stress” or whether you might have a serious underlying condition requiring medical attention. Some stress is part of life, but when the pressure becomes overwhelming, it’s time to take action. Invest in your good health, save on healthcare cost, and improve your overall quality of life by starting today to head off stress. U.S. Health Advisors’ Betty Horton accepts appointments from 8 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday-Friday and from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday. By special appointment, customers can also be seen on Sunday.

Australia. She met her husband, Jim, when he was posted to Brisbane after surviving the attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941. After meeting at a local church, Jim wrote her every day over the course of their five year courtship. Audrey traveled to San Francisco in January, 1947, for her reunion with her fiancée (the ring had been delivered by one of Jim’s sailor friends). Four days after she arrived, Audrey and Jim were married and moved to Idaho, where Jim was in school. After

school, they moved to Illinois where a son, and her daughter, Rae D. Willis Cummins were born and then settled in Atlanta, Georgia, where the last of their four children, twin sons were born. In Atlanta, Audrey developed a business as a caterer and then established her own shop, Northwoods Florist, running it successfully for more than 35 years. Audrey was never too busy for friends and family. Every employee she ever had called her, “Mama” and friendships made in her twenties endure today. She and Jim worked tirelessly for their church, establishing a Bible Chapel in Atlanta. After Jim’s retirement, they moved

to Azle, and after Jim’s death, she moved to Weatherford. Audrey moved to Martin Crest Assisted Living in 2009 where she made many dear friends. She was the best Granny ever to her grandchildren, Zeb and Katie Cummins, Michael Willis and Lindsey Willis Vaughn and Courtney Willis Shulin. She was Granny Great to her five great-grandchildren. She enjoyed traveling to see her extended family in Brisbane, Australia and could always be called upon to create beautiful flower arrangements. She was preceded in death by her parents; her husband of 52 years, James Ray Willis; and her oldest son, Daniel Ray Willis.

Procedures outlined by AISD n PROCEDURES, FROM PAGE ONE.

dent’s office will distribute emails announcing the details to principals, directors, and their secretaries. If the weather situation worsens, updates will be sent during the school day. The district is always mindful that early dismissal without prior notice may inconvenience parents unable to arrange immediate transportation and/or supervision for their children. However, student safety is always the most important factor in making early release decisions. AISD will distribute information on school closings via Parent Link, local television stations, the district website, and local radio stations.

The district’s Assistant Superintendent of Curriculum and Human Resources, Tanya Anderson, provided the details of the policy. Anderson added that although Azle schools have closed for electricity saving purposes a number of years ago, that has not been an issue for the last few years. “When we had rolling electricity outages two years ago, we were already closed for inclement weather anyway,” Anderson said. Health-related closures Azle ISD will follow the Tarrant County Public Health Department’s recommendations with regard to school dismissal and cleaning of facilities.

The following are guidelines for school nurses for identification of potential exposure to Ebola and EV-N68: • classroom and school wide teaching on: hand washing, cough/sneeze etiquette, keeping hands away from eyes, nose and mouth, staying home if you are sick, and health habits • posters on hand washing and cough/sneeze etiquette displayed in clinics and throughout schools • hand washing signs placed in bathrooms • child-safe sanitizer available in computer labs and cafeterias • training of staff on symptoms and transmission of disease • weekly communication

from Tarrant County Public Health on respiratory illness surveillance • identifying sick children and sending them home for 24 hour fever-free notice • if needed, AISD follows directives from local authority (Dr. Sandra Parker, Tarrant County Public Health) • campus- or district-wide phone message and/or letters asking parents to keep sick children home • letters and phone messages sent to parents if campus or classroom absence rates climb or if high absenteeism occurs in pods or clusters • additional cleaning of hightouch surfaces (performed in the evening by custodial staff) if absence rates climb

High cotton: 327s, Blue Knights, and a Beamer

’m not really a car guy. When my fellow high schoolers were drooling over their first cars and getting them “souped up,” I was watching old scary movies and learning shorthand. (Today, I can remember only one thing in shorthand – and I advanced to regional in the UIL competition in 1973 – my first name.) I just never got the car bug. I never drove fast; President Jimmy Carter’s lowering of the speed limit meant nothing to me since I was already driving only 55 miles per hour everywhere. Apparently, GTOs and LeManses were very cool. My first car was a 1966 Chevy Caprice. I distinctly remember these sorts of conversations with my teenage pals in 1973: CAR NUT: (amazed) Your Caprice is a ’66?! Is that a 327 in it? ME: (because it said it on the side of the car) Yes.

CAR NUT: And a four-barrel carb?! ME: (because someone once told me it did) Yes. CAR NUT: And you have a Cherry Bomb and a Blue Knight?! ME: (because when my mufflers got holes in them, a Cherry Bomb and a Blue Knight [the store only had one of each at the time] were less expensive than regular mufflers) Yes. So, I don’t care much about cars. Nor am I loyal to any specific make or model. In my 58 years, I have had three new vehicles – a 1981 VW Diesel (after I got a new job), a 1994 Plymouth Voyager (after I got a second job), and a 2004 Chevy Silverado (after a drunk driver hit us). On all sides of these vehicles, I have had a slew of cars that were held together by a variety of straps, duct tape, and especially my beloved standby miracle fixer, the bungee cord. Recently, I needed to rent a car after the Bride and I flew to Colorado. I had

been around enough to know that the advertised “full-size” car awaiting us would probably not be the pictured shiny red Challenger but a steady-asshe-goes white ON YOUR Impala. So, when the MARK lady offered to us, for Mark K. Campbell upgrade once I didn’t decline. (Such offers are usually as avoided as extended warranties.) For $10 more daily, she said, we could have a BMW. We really aren’t BMW people. We’re Chevy truck people who drive up and down a dirt road that is constantly washing out. But, we figured, why not?

So we YOLO’d a BMW, very high cotton, indeed. So high in fact, that I couldn’t figure how to start it. It had a key fob with which I was vaguely familiar, but, despite me waving it around like a magic wand, the Beamer still wouldn’t start! So we called the rental car maintenance guy over. “Put your foot on the brake.” Oh, yeah...guess I was too bedazzled – ooh, a moon roof! – to recall that simple move required on every vehicle on earth for the last three decades. This SUV had every bell and whistle, including an information panel that would allow you to bring your work email right into your front seat… for some reason. It also required a bachelor’s degree to shift. You had some sort of side button to push – only sometimes – to get the car into reverse or drive. I actually blocked traffic on a narrow Denver street because I could not get the stupid car out of reverse after

giving up on parallel parking. “I’m 58 years old and I don’t know how to drive this car!” I shouted to pot smoking (I assume) Coloradans who walked past, muttering about Texans. The biggest weirdness was the incredibly condescending voice of the GPS lady. She spoke to me like I was an idiot. “Prepare to turn,” she said smarmily, sounding like a female Bill Murray. You could almost hear her sigh in exasperation at this Chevy guy in a BMW. She bossed us around for four days. The last thing she said – under her breath – was “Thank the Lord” when we returned the vehicle. That BMW was a nice ride – but I don’t think it had a 327 in it and I know it didn’t have a Cherry Bomb. Take that, cocky GPS lady!

of this new virulent virus call Ebola, brought by an immigrant from Liberia, Thomas Duncan. He died a few days later, but even more morose were the outside agitators who are not even related or connected in any way to the Duncan family; their sole purposes were financial and political gain. The two instigators are familiar names, activists Jesse Jackson and Dallas Commissioner Clay Jenkins. They stoop to the lowest level and stop at nothing to propitiate media attention for their own self-aggrandizement. Jackson flew in from Chicago to do what he does best: fan the flames of racism. He insinuated that Duncan

“received less than favorable medical care because he was a black man.” Jackson then raised the specter of legal action against the hospital. This is a tactical ruse Jackson has used for decades to shake down businesses for money. Sad to say, the hospital will likely roll over and pay off to make the attention go away. Jackson can then fix his cross hairs on the next business. Jenkins has long been a fixture in the media for his left-leaning causes. His latest spectacle invited the news media to film him walking freely about in the apartment known to have the lethal pathogen without wearing any protective equipment.

He may be within one concentric circle of passing this contagious, deadly virus to his wife and children. I’m not sure which is more insidious – the Ebola virus or the profiteering fecklessness of these two charlatans.

Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and his silent Chevy truck has 307,000 miles on it.

Letters to the Editor ‘Publicans’ not looking at the facts Dear Editor: Re: “‘Starbucks’ Salute an Embarrassment” Azle News, Oct. 1 A few weeks ago, I read a bumper sticker on a vehicle in our area. It read “Stop the Hate.” Wow, finally a human with a humane message. It gave me a little hope. Yeah, I know: My very being and blessings – according to my beliefs – come from Jesus Christ. But, still, it’s nice to see a created being behaving in the Creator’s way. But then, alas and again, a letter was printed, written by our old friend, perfecter of the vitriolic harangue common to so many in these parts. Gov. Perry hates the feds but promptly calls the CDS when his “one of the best in the nation” hospitals fails to relay important information from one person to the next. Congressman Gomer supports all free trade, but wants to end all flights from Western Africa. The general population is terrified of an Ebola outbreak but doesn’t seem to be concerned that – in part because Perry refused Medicate expansion – about 25 percent of Texans have no health care, resulting in the ever more likely possibility that the fast food worker or food handler with hepatitis or the TB infected person at the mall can infect a loved one. Science and soon history is being altered in our textbooks. All of that seems stupid to me! I am not of African-American descent, but I surely believe that the parents of these children are living in a state of terror whenever their male children are out of their homes. Shot

for walking in the middle of the street. Shot for playing music too loud. Shot for not wearing a seatbelt. To be insensitive to that is to be in the fog of hate. Regarding the famous salute: The video I saw of that event showed that the president was buttoning his jacket with his left hand at that moment. Had he not, he’d surely be critized for looking disheveled (tan suit or not). I’m not a Democrat, but I can read and assimilate facts. The deficit is way down, crime is down, the economy is the best it’s been in modern times, according to Forbes Magazine. And, oh yeah, the stock market is way up. None of the aforementioned reeks of “stupidity.” I don’t attribute all the criticism to racism. “Publicans” did the same to Presidents Roosevelt, Truman, Carter, and Clinton. Apparently, all “Publicans” – you know, like Carl Rove’s “Democratic” Party – just can’t stand losing elections. President Obama has let me down on several occasions, but, given all the opposition to him from the other side – including failure to approve a Surgeon General and a huge delay in letting someone be approved for border control – I would not put him, nor the people that voted for him, in the “moron” category.

Was Ernest Hemingway really a ‘Western’ man?

amous journalist, writer, war correspondent, world traveler Ernest Hemingway, I think, was a western man. During the early 1930s he spent his winters in Florida, but he traveled to Wyoming and Idaho in the summers. He hunted deer, elk and grizzly bears. He even met with actor Gary Cooper in Idaho and hunted with him. As a youngster Hemingway learned the love of the outdoors by hunting, fishing and camping with his physician father in the woods and lakes of Northern Michigan. He acquired a desire for outdoor adventure and traveling to remote places of the world. Hemingway, born in 1899, was a teenager when World War I began in Europe in 1914. As a junior in high school he began his interest in newspaper writing, and right after graduation he took a job as a cub reporter for the Kansas City Star. Instead of going to college, as Hemingway's parents wished, early in 1918 he heard a

THE

recruitment pitch in Kansas City and signed up as an ambulance driver in Italy. After the war, he continued in journalism. In 1921 when he married his first wife, he got a job as a foreign correspondent for the Toronto Star, and he and his wife moved to Paris. There he became acquainted with other American writers who helped him in his career. By 1926 his The Sun Also Rises about the post-war expatriate generation was published. Many recognize it as his greatest work. Drawn to war reporting, Hemingway in 1937 agreed to cover the Spanish Civil War for a North American Newspaper Alliance. Then in 1940 he lived in Cuba except in the summers when he moved to Idaho near the newly-built Sun Valley Resort. His most famous novel, For Whom the Bell Tolls was published that same year and was nominated for a Pulitzer Prize. In 1947 he received a Bronze Star for bravery in World War II when he served as a war correspondent. He was “under

near a home he purchased near Ketchum, Idaho. He wrote every morning and hunted almost every afternoon. He and his friends would hunt ducks after a neighboring rancher went up in his airplane earlier and located the birds. Hemingway invited friends to hunt with him and his wife. Mary cooked the ducks, partridge or venison for dinner in the evenings. Local folks invited the Hemingways out to dinner as well. Hotchner related that at these social occasions Hemingway reminisced about grizzly bears and other game he had shot in the past. He and his friends would practice their technique by shooting skeet in the backyard. While at his Western retreat near Ketchum, Hemingway was asked to speak to teenagers at a nearby school about writing. He told them of his own beginnings of working on the student newspaper in high school. (So did I, folks!) In 1961 while at his Ketchum western retreat, Hemingway became de-

pressed. An editor was pushing him to finish a project, and he felt he had lost the ability to write. He said there was nothing to live for because he “won't ever write again.” He also had delusions, obsessions of persecution, anxiety. He received electric shock treatments at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester, Minn. After a brief return to Ketchum, Hemingway got his shotgun, loaded it, and shot himself through the mouth. He was 61. His father, brother, sister, and a granddaughter (Margaux Hemingway, a model and actress) all committed suicide. Hemingway published seven novels, six short story collections and two non-fiction books. After his death three novels, four short story collections, and three non-fiction books also were released. He needn't have worried about not being able to write. What he produced assures his fame. Retired history professor J’Nell Pate of Azle has authored several books, many of which are on sale in the lobby of the Azle News.

#drgrandpa says it’s time to ‘Find your new joy!’

woke up this morning under the patchwork “crazy” quilt that my Granny Lewis made for me when I was 10 years old. When I think of Granny, I think of quilts, Fritos and bean dip, crocheted afghans, playing croquet in the front yard, and “camping out” in a hammock stretched between two trees. Those two trees still stand in my dad’s yard. I have special memories of all my grandparents, but the quilt made me think of Granny and her grandkid spoiling expertise. I have heard that she once told my uncle that he should use “psychology” instead of

I have also most been told that he responded that beautihe wished she had heard of psyful and chology when he was a child! perfect More people than I can posbaby sibly count have told me that girl in your life changes forever when the hisyou become a grandparent. tory of “Oh, sure,” I thought.

One of my pastor friends sent me a message that comes as close to describing this situation as anything I have heard. He wrote, “I know your heart is filled with a brand new kind of joy.” Bingo! This new joy found me, but I can think of times when I have gone looking for joy and found it. I’m not talking about looking for situations to make me happy when I am sad. I’m talking about what the Apostle Paul must have intended when

he wrote: “Rejoice in the Lord always. I will say it again: Rejoice! Let your gentleness be evident to all. The Lord is near. Do not be anxious about anything, but in everything, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God. And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus. Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable – if anything is excellent or praiseworthy – think about such things.” (Philippi-

In the case, Marc Veasey et al. v. Rick Perry et al., Ramos ruled the law was enacted with a discriminatory purpose and an impermissible discriminatory effect against Hispanics and African-Americans. Ramos said the law places an unconstitutional burden on the right to vote that is, in effect, a poll tax. “Plaintiffs,” she wrote, “have thus demonstrated that every form of SB 14-qualified ID available to the general public is issued at a cost.” Supporters of the law said the law, which requires each voter to present an official photo ID card, is needed to combat voter impersonation fraud, to build public confidence in election results, and to increase participation in elections. State Sen. Rodney Ellis, DHouston, who fought against the passage of SB 14 and testified in the district court proceedings, commented: “As the court ruled, the voter ID law is

According to the Department of State Health Services, Ebola is not contagious until symptoms appear, which can occur two to 21 days after exposure. Early symptoms include fever, headache, abdominal pain and weakness. Gov. Rick Perry on Oct. 6 announced the creation of the Texas Task Force on Infectious Disease Preparedness and Response, to “assess and enhance the state’s existing capabilities to prepare for and respond to pandemic disease, such as the Ebola virus.” He publicized a list of state agency heads, medical researchers and other prominent people to serve on the task force. The task force is to issue its first report by Dec. 1 and a second report by Feb. 1, 2015. Perry, who called on the federal government to increase screening efforts at all points of entry to help prevent the disease from entering the country, Texas prepares for Ebola Thomas Eric Duncan, the toured the Galveston National first individual diagnosed Laboratory at The University essentially a modern day poll tax and has the same effect as other laws used in decades past to keep scores of lawful, legal Americans from voting. It was wrong then, it is wrong now, and I’m pleased the court stood up to protect the right to vote for all Texans.” Ramos further ordered, “Any remedial enactment by the Texas Legislature, as well as any remedial changes by Texas’s administrative agencies, must come to the Court for approval.” Lauren Bean of the Office of the Texas Attorney General on Oct. 9 said, “The State of Texas will immediately appeal and will urge the Fifth Circuit (Court of Appeals in New Orleans) to resolve this matter quickly to avoid voter confusion in the upcoming election. The U.S. Supreme Court has already ruled that voter ID laws are constitutional so we are confident the Texas law will be upheld on appeal.” Election day is Nov. 4, with early voting to be conducted Oct. 21-31.

Hornet fans: Sit down, please My wife and I have always been supporters of high school sports and other activities wherever we have resided. My wife is a 16-year breast cancer survivor. So, we were excited to attend Azle’s Pink Out game on Oct. 3 – not only to see the game but also the presentation at halftime by Azle’s Marching Green Pride. However, our excitement was quickly diminished by the constant parading back and forth of young people and adults who kept us from seeing much of the game or the halftime prsentation. Seems to me that if youngsters want to be seen and visit instead of watching the activities, they should remain behind the bleachers so as not to block the view of the people who are there to see the game and band.

Holiday arrest total comes in Texas Department of Public Safety troopers made 1,175 driving-while-intoxicated arrests during a special enforcement period from Aug. 15 through Sept. 2, which included the Labor Day holiday. The enforcement effort, abetted by a Texas Department of Transportation grant, also resulted in 18,615 speeding citations, 2,840 seat belt/child safety seat citations, 838 fugitive arrests and 665 felony arrests, DPS Executive Director Steven Don and Sandy Wheeler McCraw said.

Azle pummels Coyotes, leap up in standings by mark k. campbell It was the kind of victory that galvanizes not only a team but a town. After making the long trek up to Wichita Falls Friday, Oct. 10 only to have bad weather force a postponement to the following day, Azle (5-1, 2-1) motored back Saturday at 5 p.m. and drilled the Coyotes, 35-14. Excluding a couple of big WF plays that led to scores, the Hornet defense thwarted the hosts all afternoon. Meanwhile, AHS ground out long drives that resulted in points and the consumption of precious time. After falling behind 7-0 early when WF converted a fourthand-goal from the 30, Azle scored the next three TDs. Following a long Coyote scoring run on the first play of the second half that made the score 21-14, the steady Hornet offense put the game away with a pair of unanswered TDs. One again, the calm, veteran hand of senior QB Jamie King directed AHS to a victory. He ran 22 times for 103 yards and a TD. But he was not only a running threat; King passed for 157 yards on a stellar 13-for-15 night. One of those aerials went to Bryce Gum for an 18-yard score in the third quarter that

Reliable workhorse Chase Smith – 19 carries for 95 yards – capped the scoring and clinched the game with a 16-yard touchdown run. That bookended his first quarter 1 yarder that drew Azle even after Old High had scored on that fourth down 30-yard pass. Smith also scored on a second 1-yard rush to open the scoring in the second half. Azle peeled off 64 plays and only punted once – late in the game – controlling the ball and the clock. Three Hornet drives went 10 plays or more. Coach Devon Dorris recalled, “We made a lot of third downs.” Most plays were runs but passes were mixed in including PLEASE SEE AZLE, PAGE 14A.

4 to Trevor Boiles for 65 yards, 3 to Dalton Cole for 35, and 4 to Gum for 37 yards. Both teams had two turnovers, a bugaboo that had harassed AHS lately. Hornets Trey Ramos – in the midst of a memorable season – and Sean Townsend intercepted Coyote passes. It was a huge win, the biggest in years for AHS. After 228 miles, Azle might have come away with much more than a district victory; it could be a galvanizing catalyst that could propel the Hornets into the postseason. The double trip didn’t deter Azle. Dorris said some players had to take the SAT the next morning, so when the weather had not settled by 9 p.m. Friday, the game was postponed. “The kids were ready to Hornet quarterback Jamie King leaps for more yardage thanks to blocks from lineplay,” the coach said. men Justin Scarbro (54) and Landon Todd (60).

Daniels takes contest Last week, game nine was wrong; Texas Tech did not play twice, so that game was not counted. That meant one contestant went 11-0. The perfect prognosticator was Royce Daniels; he won the $20 first place check. Three contests missed one game each, so the Oklahoma 31, Texas 26 (57) tie-breaker was used. With a guess of 61, Bobby Boyd won $10 and second place. Third and $5 went to John Hagerman for a guess of 67. Too far off was Tripp Burton’s 46.5 on the tiebreaker.

ACS wins big again by mark k. campbell Another game, another mercy rule victory for Azle Christian School (6-0, 2-0). Coach Gary Rushing said his Crusaders were stellar against Granbury Cornerstone in a 57-12 victory at the ACS stadium. Quarterback Joey Rosamond was a standout, Rushing noted. Rosamond went 12-of-16 passing for 250 yards and 3 TDs. He also rushed for 100 yards and 2 more scores. Then, defensively, Rosamond was not only in on 8 tackles but recorded a sack. A pair of halfbacks – Josh Crawford and Jeremiah Carlson – combined for 100 more yards as the Crusaders ran amok at home and ended the contest at halftime. Crawford caught 4 passes for 120 yards, one going 79 yards for a TD. The Crawford-Carlson combo accounted for 20 tackles defensively; the latter returned a Cornerstone fumble 60 yards for a score. Offensively, end Alex Schardt caught 2 TD passes and booted 4 PATs. Next up is a road game for Azle Christian – to Red Oak where the Crusaders will tangle with Ovilla Christian School.

AHS JV, frosh have tough week The White junior varsity Hornets fell to Aledo 30-6. Coaches said Azle moved the ball well but came up with just a single score, a 4-yard run by Michael Gonzalez. Cody Finn had a “great night throwing the ball that led to several key first downs,” coaches noted. While some Hornets got hurt, AHS fought to the end, with Wade Williams and Paul Livingstone coming through with “key tackles throughout the game.” The 9th Green Hornets (5-1) lost for the first time this season, 46-28 to Wichita Falls. AHS got revved up after a slow first quarter; Azle trailed 14-0 in Wichita Falls. But the young Hornets’ running game started to click as Jared Wheeler, Louis La Morte, and James Lochabay Crusader Josh Crawford finds open field in began opening holes for JorAzle Christian School’s victory over Gran- dan McNeely and Gamble bury Cornerstone.

Movie Man

Wednesday, October 15, 2014

Dracula returns again: New Vlad not all that bad It’s quite a battle when it comes to the character that has been filmed the most. Actually, it’s a fight between two characters with a couple more rather far behind. About the film Hamlet and James Bond are the runners-up in the character contest, with 48 and 25, respectively. Two dudes are above the Prince of Denmark and 007 in the most appearances category. And that’s where the confusion can set in. If you’re talking about the most “frequently occurring” character in movies, then the winner is Sherlock Holmes. With around 220 or so appearances, he’s the official Guinness Book of World Records’ top dog. But when it comes to the “most filmed” character, Dracula wins easily with 272 appearances. Out of that great number, there have been some groovy vampire versions, some very poor ones, and some way out in left field. Depending on your age, the Dracula many will recall if they have a few years under their crucifix (like the Movie Man) is Bela Lugosi’s Dracula from 1931. It’s still superbly atmospheric and stood as the template for decades. Before Bela, many other versions – all silent – were produced. The most famous and best was Nosferatu in 1922. That movie, staring Max Schreck, portrays the vampire as all pointy and rat-faced; pick up any book on undead cinematic history and you’ll find that photo right off the bat. (Oh, Movie Man! You still got it!) A later generation born decades past Bela find their favorite Dracula in 1957’s Horror of Dracula, a shocking for its time remake starring Christopher Lee and made by the notorious Hammer Studios in England. It was a monstrous hit and soon the studio began churning out remakes of the old Universal

Studios classics. Another generational touchstone vampire movie came along with the graphic 1992 version by Francis Ford Coppola, Dracula. The hard R was deserved and the movie took the metaphor of blood equals life to heart; this movie is plenty gory. It also holds the honor of staying closest to the original book by Bram Stoker. Critically, it’s a bloodbath when it comes to naming the best Dracula movie. The Movie Man will put a vote in for the 1979 Dracula starring Frank Langella who was reprising his popular stage role. But there are plenty who find that one hokey and dated. Most reviewers hail the original, the Hammer, and then the 1992 film – in that order. Only hardcore vampire lovers have seen Dracula’s appearance in Abbott and Costello Meet Frankenstein (1948), Dracula’s Dog (1978), the satire Dracula: Dead and Loving It (1995, a Mel Brooks misfire), or the bizarre Andy Warhol’s Dracula (aka Blood for Dracula) a 1974 3-D, X-rated (now an R) gorefest. So there are all kinds of Draculas out there and more will surely come. The plot (spoilers) Vlad (Luke Evans) was snatched as a child and raised as a fierce Turk warrior. He was so fanatical in his killing as an adult that eventually just the mention of his name would send rival soldiers scattering. But Evans has a change of heart and becomes a peaceful man and ruler of a small kingdom. Unfortunately, the Turks come calling and need more children to train as warriors in their never-ending quest to take over the earth. And Evans has a son. Out-numbered by a zillion to one, Evans must find a way to protect his family and people against impossible odds. The answer is in a creepy cave pop-

But he has only three days. And if he dares drink any human blood in that span, Evans will become a vampire forever. Sure enough, Evans puts the hurt on some of the advancing hordes. But his lust for blood rises constantly, even with his wife Mirena (Sarah Gadon) whose heartbeat he can see pulsing constantly. Still, Evans resists her and all other potential victims as 100,000 Turks attack his castle. While Evans’ powers are fading as the end of day three nears, Gadon suffers a fatal fall. Barely alive, she knows the only way to save Vlad’s kingdom is to offer up her blood. A distraught Evans drinks. Then he battles mightily, but he still needs help. So, he turns his own surviving army cohorts into vampires and they succeed. But there’s still one human alive – his son. And his once faithful soldiers circle the boy…

The turning-fellow-soldiersinto-vampires was a nice bit, too. Director Gary Shore in his first feature keeps things tooling right along and manages the impressive computer generation successfully.

Poet, songwriter, rancher... cowboy Azle’s Steagall on his life, career, and the cowboy way by carla noah stutsman He may be most famous for his 1976 hit song “Lone Star Beer and Bob Wills Music,” but Red Steagall says the love of poetry has always been a part of his being. Steagall, who lives on a ranch outside Azle with his wife, Gail, will host the 24th Annual Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering and Western Swing Festival in the Fort Worth Stockyards Oct. 24-26. Widely acclaimed as the nation’s premier Western Heritage event, the shindig will kick off Saturday, Oct. 18 when wagons begin to circle at the Jack County Sheriff’s Posse Arena in Jacksboro for the Annual Trail Ride and Wagon Train to the Stockyards. The wagon train will make its way from Weatherford up FM 730 to Azle on Wednesday, Oct. 22. Classified as a Heritage Trail Ride, participants will be in authentic clothing and use eraspecific equipment at all times

during the ride. They’ll camp at Ash Creek Stables on South Stewart Street that night before the last leg of the ride Thursday, Oct. 23 into the Stockyards. The Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering and Western Swing Festival will also feature Ranch Rodeo action, a chuck wagon camp and competition, trappings show, cowboy poetry and cowboy music, Ranch Cutting Horse Association Rodeo Finals, youth poetry contest, youth fiddle contest, youth chuck wagon cook-off, Texas Trail of Fame, Cowboy Church, Cowboy Gospel concert, and Western Swing dances. Get details for the event at http://redsteagallcowboygathering.com/. Humble beginnings Although he’s earned a living in the entertainment and film industries, Steagall has always been a cowboy at heart. The previous four generations of his family – on both sides – called the Forestburg

area in Montague County home. Red was born in Gainesville, and his family moved to the oilfields in Sanford, on the Canadian River, when he was three years old. When he was five, his mother entered him in a talent contest, and he recited a poem. The music didn’t come until later – after a bout with polio at age 15 that left him with no use of his left arm and fingers. His mother bought him a mandolin to help with his rehabilitation. “Several months went by before I willed myself to use my fingers to make chords,” Steagall says. “Then she bought me a guitar when I graduated from Phillips High School.” Before long, he put together a college band that played dances in and around Canyon, near Amarillo, where Steagall attended West Texas A&M. It was there he earned a degree in animal science and agronomy in 1960. For five years after college, Steagall worked as an agricultural chemist, but he drolly admits that he never really enjoyed selling fertilizer. When some friends who had been very successful in the rockabilly genre began “stirring up some dust” out in California, they invited Steagall to join them on the West Coast. He hooked up a five-foot by seven-foot U-Haul trailer to his 1964 SuperSports Impala convertible and pointed it toward Hollywood.

cording artists had already recorded 60 of his songs. “Things just grew from there – I had 26 records in a row on the national charts, and traveled all over the world in mainstream country music,” Steagall says. “But by 1985, sad songs and waltzes quit selling.” That’s when he discovered the First Annual Cowboy Poetry Gathering in Elko, Nevada. “I went out there to see what is was all about – I didn’t realize that’s where my heart reSongwriting and poetry ally was,” says Steagall. “I’d For the next eight years, never allowed myself to write Steagall worked in the music poetry because I was a profespublishing business.

take away from those creative juices to write something I couldn’t get recorded to help me make a living.” For five years after his trip to Elko, Steagall says he didn’t write a single song. “I just wrote poetry.” It was the beginning of his idea for the Red Steagall Cowboy Gathering, which includes cowboy poetry competitions and performances. Then, 21 years ago, his radio show, Cowboy Corner, went on the air. Locally, it can be heard on Dallas station KBXD 1480AM Saturdays at 7 a.m. or on Fort Worth’s KTFW 92.1FM every

The cowboy way the sound of that train put us to sleep – we only wrote one song.” As it turned out, that one song – “I’m Not Your Kind of Girl” – was enough to launch one of the greatest country music careers in history. “When Jackie and Reba came to Nashville, Reba and I recorded that song and one other for a demo,” Steagall says. “I pitched that record around Nashville, and a fella that was working for me named Joe Light got the attention of Glenn Keener at Mercury Records. “He signed her up, and the rest is history.” Steagall says he knows Reba has been influenced by others in the years since then, but says she has maintained an ability to listen to the opinions of others and then decide what’s best for her. “I admire her, and I love her more than I can express,” Steagall says of his red-haired protégé. “She’s very, very special in my world.”

rented a suite in whatever hotel the cowboys were staying in, and we’d break our guitars out and sing at night,” Steagall recounts. “Reba’s mother, Jackie, stopped me in the hallway one night and asked if she could bring her little girl in to sing.” He immediately agreed. “She brought this little redhaired, freckle-faced girl in and sat her down beside me,” Steagall continued. “When she started singing harmony with me, I just got cold chills.” He invited Jackie to bring her daughter to Nashville, where he lived, and early in 1975, she did just that. But in the meantime, Steagall and his friend and fellow songwriter Glen Sutton had taken a 24-hour train ride from Amarillo to Memphis. “The idea was to write songs on this trip. I’d written a letter to the president of the Rock Island Rail Line, and they put a special caboose at the end of the train, Steagall explained. Parker County is home Steagall had another banner “But the rolling rhythm and

That’s the year he staked his claim on the Parker County ranch he still calls home. It’s also the year he married Gail, on Aug. 2. A month later, he hired his assistant, Debbie Bowen. “So for 37 years, it’s been like having two wives,” Steagall jokes. He admits to loving the peo-

ple and everything else about Parker County, and says he doesn’t ever intend to leave his home here. “We’re just so honored to get such support for our Cowboy Gathering – most events don’t last 24 years,” he says. The Gathering has a large audience, especially from west of Fort Worth, who love to live the old days vicariously through the

annual celebration of cowboy life. “Our trail ride from Fort Griffin to Fort Worth really attracts the attention of people in small towns to the west,” Steagall said. “Sometimes it holds up traffic, but even though that can be annoying, it’s something you’re not going to see anywhere else. It’s a part of our heritage.”

Steagall said he and all the participants of the event like to consider themselves as doing all they can to preserve the history, heritage, traditions, and values of the cowboy way of life. “This economy and this community of North Texas was built on the backs of longhorn steers and good saddle horses,” Steagall says.
