This Week in Azle History

51 Years Ago

by carla noah stutsmanThe arrest of Frederick Anthony

Couch by North Richland Hills police Aug. 19 hit close to home.

Couch’s son, Ethan Couch, made national news in December 2013 when he was sentenced to 10 years’ probation for causing the deaths of four people in a drunk-driving crash in southern Tarrant County.

Ethan’s defense attorney claimed the 16-year-old was a victim of “af-fluenza” because his wealthy parents spoiled him to the point he did not know right from wrong.

The elder Couch, who owns a home and a business in unincorporated Tar-rant County near Lakeside, is accused of impersonating a Lakeside police officer.

As a result, Lakeside Police Chief Lee Pitts, Lt. Norm Craven and other city officials are looking at the town’s old records and even the minutes of town council meetings to see if badges were ever authorized for a volunteer search and rescue group Couch may have been involved with years ago.

“It’s not uncommon to provide such a person with some form of identifi-cation, and it’s not illegal to have a

badge,” Craven said. “But it is illegal to identify yourself as a peace officer if you’re not one.”

Fred Couch’s arrest stems from a dis-turbance that occurred July 28 about 1:15 a.m. in the 4400 block of Mackey Road in North Richland Hills.

While investigating the disturbance, NRH officers spoke with Couch, who told them he was a reserve officer with the Lakeside Police Department.

When NRH officers completed their investigation at the scene of the distur-bance, they again contacted Couch.

Couch reached into his vehicle and produced what he called his “police stuff” – a wallet displaying what ap-peared to be a police badge and iden-tification card, suggesting he was a police officer.

An NRH officer at the scene inves-tigated whether Couch was actually licensed in Texas as a police officer and determined he was not and never has been.

A warrant was written and signed by a judge for the charge of False Identifica-tion as a Police Officer: Misrepresenta-tion of Property. Bond was set at $2,500.

Couch posted bond and was released from jail soon after his arrest.

by natalie GentryOne person was injured Wednes-

day Aug. 20 in a motor vehicle ac-cident in the 2700 block of Jay Bird Lane, according to Reno police.

The crash occurred when a blue Nissan Versa driven by Shelly Plumlee, 29, of Azle, was heading north on Jay Bird when the vehicle

entered the southbound lane and struck a white Ford F150.

The driver of the Ford, John Mc-Cormick, 40, of Fort Worth, at-tempted to avoid the collision but was unable to do so.

Plumlee’s vehicle struck the front of the truck, spun back across the road, and ultimately came to

rest on the shoulder of the north-bound lane.

McCormick was uninjured, but Plumlee was transported via Lifecare to John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth with incapacitating injuries.

According to police, driver inat-tention may have been a contributing factor.

by carla noah stutsmanA 14-year-old boy has been arrested

by Pelican Bay police and charged with arson.

According to a press release from Pelican Bay Police Chief Jason Farris, his department has been investigating a series of four fires – all believed to have been intentionally set – that have occurred in Pelican Bay over the past three months.

In each case, Farris said a vacant mobile home was burned, resulting in total losses.

Farris said the young man was taken into custody at his home Aug. 21 and transferred to the Tarrant County Ju-venile Detention Center in Fort Worth.

More arrests in the same case are possible as the investigation contin-ues, Farris said.

The investigation has been a priority of the department given the fact that each act of arson was more aggressive than the last, Farris explained.

Officers Stephen Combs, Jr. and

Matthew Thomas developed infor-mation during the investigation that provided the evidence needed to file charges against the juvenile, accord-ing to the press release.

“Normally arson is a tough crime to solve, especially since the fires were happening in the early morn-ing hours, and the evidence is usually destroyed in the fire,” Farris said. “These officers worked long and hard to gather what they needed to get these charges filed.

“These were vacant homes; how-ever they were located in very close proximity to occupied homes. This juvenile not only placed these people in harm’s way, but firefighters, as well.

“Officers Combs and Thomas worked relentlessly to make sure that this child will get the help he needs while also facing the conse-quences of his actions.”

The Tarrant County Fire Mar-shal’s office assisted PBPD with the investigation.

by carla noah stutsmanAlmost 10 months after the first of

more than 30 earthquakes shook the area around Reno, Azle, and Spring-town, The Texas Railroad Commis-sion (TRC) has proposed some chang-es to the rules that govern disposal well permits.

While the TRC is reluctant to ad-mit any link between disposal wells and earthquakes, a series of more than 30 tremblers in the Reno, Azle, and Springtown area from November 2013 to January 2014 caused public outcry to the contrary.

Beginning Friday, Aug. 29, the TRC will accept public comment regarding the proposed rule changes, as well, via its website. Comments will be accept-

ed through Sept. 29.The proposed rule changes would

require information from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) be included on applications for drilling permits, and that disposal well opera-tors log and disclose daily injection volumes and pressures, in some cases.

Currently, those operators are re-quired to disclose those volumes and pressures only monthly.

Additionally, the proposed rule changes would make it clear the TRC has authority to modify, suspend or even terminate a permit for a disposal well if the commission believes the well is causing earthquakes.

If you’d like to comment on the pro-posed rule changes, point your brows-

er to http://www.rrc.state.tx.us/legal/rules/comment-form-for-proposed-rulemakings/.

Since the quakesSeismic data gathered by scientists

from Southern Methodist University (SMU) has indicated the series of “felt” quakes – which registered from 2.1 to 3.6 on the Richter scale – were centered near two disposal wells used to dispose of waste water generated by

oil and gas operations.The SMU researchers report that

small earthquakes – too small to be felt – continue to occur in the area.

The Texas House Committee on Energy Resources has since formed the Subcommittee on Seismic Activ-ity to investigate the situation. The Subcommittee is chaired by Myra Crownover (R-Denton) and includes Phil King (R-Weatherford), Terry Canales (D-Edinburg), and Chris

Paddie (R-Marshall).The TRC, meanwhile, hired its own

seismologist, Dr. David Craig Pear-son, to coordinate with other experts, study and interpret data and conduct research on seismicity and how it may impact or be impacted by the oil and gas industry in Texas.

On Monday, Aug. 25, the Subcom-mittee on Seismic Activity heard tes-timony from Pearson and others in its ongoing investigation.

about 100 friends, supporters, and family members gathered saturday, aug. 22 in central Park for a night of love and Prayers for brandi. they came to pray for brandi Dickey, the 32-year-old azle high school graduate who continues to courageously battle melanoma. above, brandon Geary, also an ahs grad and pastor of merge community church in lake Worth, speaks to the crowd about brandi before leading them in prayer.

A Night of Prayers

In August 1963, the Tapawi Banner (the News’ prede-cessor) reported that 300 people toured the 10 new rooms added to Azle High School.

by mark k. campbellMaybe you’ve seen the ban-

ners hung around Azle school facilities.

The “Heart of Azle” motto concept came from Superin-tendent Dr. Ray Lea with the intent of focusing on customer service.

Lea had been to other dis-tricts’ meetings and witnessed the emphasis on improving

customer service.Taxpaying citizens are not

the only “customers” of the school district.

A specially-created brochure – designed by Christina Hill, a student in AHS teacher De-nise Darnell’s Business Infor-mation Management 2 class – highlights that “colleagues and students are customers too.”

Regular citizens are consid-

ered external customers while students and AISD personnel are internal.

Lea took the concept to dis-trict administrators who devel-oped the theme: Heart of Azle.

Heart is an acronym:H – Hear/listen to the cus-

tomerE – Empathize or validate

concernA – Apologize for the situa-

tionR – Respond and attempt to

solveT – Track and follow upThe acronym was created by

Monica Miller, AISD director of finance.

The unique logo was de-signed by graphic artist Katie Buckel, an AHS grad, and San-dra Corley of AKC Designs.

The master plan is to expand the Heart of Azle concept into other facets of town: the city, the Chamber of Commerce, and Texas Health Harris Meth-odist Azle to “brand” the area.

The hope is that Heart of Azle will expand throughout the community.

A detailed brochure explains how district employees should handle walk-in concerns, tele-phone calls, and emails.

Lakeside PoLice dePt. caLL RePoRtMonday-Sunday, Aug. 18–24, 2014

by cArlA noAh StutSMAnThe biggest event in the his-

tory of Pelican Bay is planned and ready, according to Glyn Murphy, pastor of Lighthouse Harbor Church.

And it’s for men only.The Pelican Bay Sports-

men’s Rally will be held from 4-8 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 30, at Lighthouse Harbor Church, 1960 Long Circle in Pelican Bay.

The event will include live

music, men’s contests, prizes and a fish fry – a professional fishing guide will even be on hand.

“There will be good music, a lot of fun, good food, and a meaningful time for all,” Mur-phy said. “Many prizes will be given out, but the grand prize is something really special.”

Only a select group of indi-viduals will qualify to enter the raffle for that grand prize: con-testants must be male; age 18

years or older; reside within the city of Pelican Bay; and contes-tants must be present to win.

If you qualify, you may win the 20-foot ski boat with a 350 V-8 inboard/outboard motor.

Qualified contestants may also earn additional chances to win the boat by participating in contests during the event.

To be clear, though, the event is open to all men – only the boat raffle is limited to men who live in Pelican Bay.

Sportsmen’s Rally first of its kind in Pelican Bay

one lucky Pelican bay man will go home with this 20-foot ski boat with a 350 V-8 inboard/outboard motor Saturday. It’s the grand prize at the first Pelican bay Sports-men’s rally.

For the first time ever, the AHS cheerleading squad for 2014-2015 includes seven male cheerleaders. The addition of that extra muscle will no doubt allow the squad to compete at a higher level and perform more difficult stunts for Hornet fans.

So many students applied to participate in the AHS Rowdies – a student cheer group – that tryouts had to be held for the available spots.

The Emerald Dazzlers have a new director, Sidnee Denman, this year.

The AHS Marching Green Pride, still high on its 13th place finish at state marching competition last year, returns

with a highly-anticipated show entitled The Greatest Show on Turf.

And both the AHS Col-orguard and Drumline are pumped as they each prepare for competition at Winter Guard International (WGI) Finals in Dayton, Ohio in the spring.

WGI is considered the world championship for colorguards and drumlines.

Azle’s drumline placed 17th in its first appearance there in 2012 and has high hopes of busting into the top ten; the AHS Colorguard is excited to be making its first trip to Worlds.

Sports team coverage may be found in the appropriate section of this publication, and one thing is clear: They’ll all get tremendous support from the band, dancers, cheerlead-ers and Rowdies this year.

BETTER NEWSPAPER CONTEST

AWARD WINNER2014

Last week's column end-ed with the term “Dole pineapple” in the sen-tence that stressed Ha-waii's booming economy and trade with the U.S.

and others. From my teaching of U.S. history I already knew that a man named Sanford Dole became president of a Republic of Hawaii in the late 19th century. A connection to Dole pineapple had to be there somewhere.

American traders first acquired Ha-waiian sandalwood, which they sold to China. By the 1830s outsiders in-troduced the sugar industry. Planters and numerous American missionaries brought a change to the political, cul-tural, economic life, as well as their emphasis on religion. The newcom-ers were able to persuade Hawaiians in 1840 to establish a constitutional monarchy, which took some power away from the native king.

In 1844 Sanford Ballard Dole was born in Honolulu to American Chris-tian missionary parents. He attended school on the islands, but his parents sent him to Williams College in Mas-sachusetts where he studied law. He

came back to Hawaii and was elected to the Hawaiian legislature in 1884. Later he served on the Supreme Court of Hawaii from 1887 to 1893. Dole was sympathetic to the Westernization of Hawaii, meaning more close ties to the U.S. Indeed, he had friends who were in the sugar industry who advo-cated annexation to the U.S.

In the 40 years after Dole was born, the United States made treaties with Hawaii, one of them being permission to establish a U.S. Naval base at Pearl Harbor. Sugar exports to the U.S. kept expanding, and more and more Ameri-cans moved to Hawaii as they invested in land. When the king died in 1891, his sister took the throne and refused to accept the limitations of Hawaii's existing constitution. She increased her own power. Two years later in 1893 a “Committee of Safety” that Dole organized overthrew Queen Lili-uokalani (Lili u o ka la ne). The U.S. minister to Hawaii, John Stevens, en-couraged the American landowners to revolt in 1893 to overthrow the queen. An American warship sat in Honolulu Harbor to back them up. Stevens rec-ognized the new government on behalf

of the U.S. and called Hawaii a protectorate. Dole submit-ted a treaty of annexation to the U.S. gov-ernment. Some writers say that most Hawai-ians wanted an-nexation to the U.S. because of the economic a d v a n t a g e s . Others would argue that U.S. bus inessmen used a heavy hand in trying

to annex Hawaii. I won't get into the politics of it now.

President of the U.S. at the time, Grover Cleveland, opposed annexa-tion and tried to restore the queen to the throne. Dole refused to step down and proclaimed Hawaii an indepen-dent republic. Then in 1897 President William McKinley negotiated a treaty with the Republic of Hawaii. When

the Spanish-American War erupted the next year, the naval base at Pearl Har-bor proved so valuable that Congress became convinced to approve annexa-tion. Dole had remained president of the republic from 1894 to 1900. By 1900 Congress approved annexation, and Hawaii became a U.S. territory. McKinley then named Dole as gover-nor of the territory of Hawaii. In 1903 he became a federal judge and served until 1914. He died in 1926.

So how did we get Dole pineapple? James Dole, a cousin of Sanford Dole, began a company called Hawaiian Pineapple in 1901. He had only ar-rived in Hawaii two years earlier and began a pineapple plantation on the island of Oahu. James Dole realized that the sale of products to the U.S. be-came more profitable after the annexa-tion because no import tariffs would be involved.

Two missionaries named Samu-el Northrup Castle and Amos Starr Cooke began a business in 1851 which became one of the largest companies in Hawaii. They invested in shipping, railroad construction, sugar produc-tion, seafood, and yes, pineapple sales.

In 1932 Castle and Cooke bought a 21 percent interest in Dole's company. Of course, Hawaii became a state in 1959. In the 1960s Castle and Cooke purchased the rest of Dole's company. After Castle and Cooke bought James Dole's Hawaiian Pineapple Company and the Standard Fruit Company, they renamed it all The Dole Food Com-pany, Inc. in 1991. It became the third largest importer of bananas. Dole and Chiquita became the top two U.S. ba-nana companies in 2011.

In August 2013 the Dole company sold out to David Murdock for $1.2 billion. Dole pineapple, of course, is still around. Also, there exists a pine-apple maze at the Dole Plantation in Oahu, Hawaii that is listed in the Guinness Book of World Records as the world's largest maze.

Robert Dole, U.S. Senator from Kansas, and the Republican nominee for president in 1996, apparently is not related to the Hawaii Doles.

Talking about Dole pineapple from Hawaii

J’Nell L. Pate

PAGES FROM WESTERN HISTORY

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.

I worked on the Rio Grande approx-imately ten years ago, mapping hydril-la (an invasive aquatic plant) that was impacting flows in the river. In the course of my work, I witnessed many people crossing the river, from large groups of women and children to one person crossing in a tube. I saw armed men in areas where some people were crossing, although we were left alone. During that time, I never saw a child alone crossing into the United States. Times have changed!

Children have no voice.For several years, the United States

has been embroiled in a battle about immigration. Our borders are not completely secure. Drugs and drug runners, criminals with violent ten-dencies have crossed our borders and endangered our country. Republi-cans accuse Democrats and the White House of not addressing the problem, and securing the border while Demo-crats and the president have pushed for immigration legislation that goes nowhere in Congress.

In the last few years – although it has only been in the last months that the media has started focusing on the issue – children fleeing from violence in their home countries (mainly Hon-duras, El Salvador, and Guatemala) have been crossing our borders in the thousands. Many are alone. They have walked, ridden buses, or what-ever means to escape the violence of their country and find a new life in the United States. They have fled from drugs, rape, gangs that have murdered family members and threatened their lives. Honduras has the highest mur-der rate in the world. They have come to the United States in search of free-dom, peace, family, and survival.

The United States Department of State says: “A refugee is someone who has fled from his or her country and cannot return because he or she has a well-founded fear of persecu-tion based on religion, nationality, political opinion or membership in a particular social group or because they are fleeing a war.” (http://www.state.gov/j/prm/ra) While some in the United States have welcomed them as refugees (which they are), most have consigned them to the general name of illegal immigrant, lumping them to-gether with the true criminal element that does cross our border. They have refused to recognize that these chil-dren are true refugees.

While I agree our borders need to be secure against the violent and the criminal that come to the United States to prey on our citizens, I think that for children – refuge children – we should remember, the ideals on which the United States was founded. We are a

Dear Editor,The staff at Cross Timbers Elemen-

tary would like to thank Principal Dee Gilley for her outstanding leadership and compassion.

This dedication enabled the students at CTE to receive ‘Distinguished’ ratings in four out of five categories on the third and fourth grade 2014 STAAR Test.

Her continued support for her stu-dents and staff encourages us to rise to the level of her expectations.

Congratulations Mrs. Gilley! Cross Timbers Staff

CTE staff thanks Principal Gilley

Dear Editor,Regarding the events in Ferguson,

Missouri: This past two weeks of riot-ing, looting, murder, and other may-hem resulting from the death of a black teenager, Michael Brown, by a white cop, Darren Wilson, doing his job shows our president and his adminis-tration doing what it does best – agitate and decompose a problem into a worse mess than what it started out as.

Thanks to President Obama, Attorney General Eric Holder, Missouri Gover-nor Jay Nixon, and the on-scene law en-forcement commander, Missouri State Trooper Captain Ron Johnson, Officer Wilson of the Ferguson PD has already been found guilty even before the inves-tigation has been completed.

AG Holder and Gov. Nixon are on record saying “this case of Officer

country of immigrants and refugees. That is our strength, our pride, and our foundation. We fought a war, the Rev-olutionary War, to create our country, the United States of America,; many of our forebearers were also refugees.

Remember the first words immi-grants and refugees see when they enter New York Harbor written on the Statue of Liberty: “Give me your tired, your poor, Your huddled masses yearn-ing to breathe free. The wretched re-fuse of your teeming shore. Send these, the homeless, Tempest-tossed, to me; I lift my lamp beside the golden door.” I think that certainly fits children that just travelled hundreds of miles, some walking, fleeing from death and vio-lence in their native country.

Chetta Owens Springtown

My groovy shoes and Frank ZappaWilson will receive swift prosecution.

And Capt. Johnson is seen marching with the mob, holding the same banners excoriating his fellow officers, saying he “stands with the Brown family” and apologizes for the officer’s actions.

To add insult to injury, we know that President Obama has sent a White House delegation to the Brown funeral.

Keep in mind that Brown was re-corded on video robbing a store and assaulting the store owner minutes be-fore his death by Officer Wilson.

When was the last time the president sent an honored delegation to a police officer’s funeral?

Yeah, that’s what I thought, too! Joseph L. Bryan Fort Worth

Editor’s Note: Mr. Bryan’s letter in the Aug. 20 News (“NFL ‘thugs’ don’t deserve fans’ praise”) contained an editing error that said the incident he was referring to took place during the Dallas-Baltimore game. It did not. The News regrets the error.

Reacting to Fer-guson events

ON YOUR MARK

Mark K. Campbell

Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and won-ders, “Who you jivin’ with that Cosmik Debris?”

D’oh! There’s nothing like the truth to mess up a good story.

Forever, I have told people that I have a pair of shoes that

I purchased back in the late 1970’s, when disco reigned.

(We rockers used to highly disdain disco, much like we did the Carpenters and, later, Hall and Oates. To-day, I know all the words to all of the former’s tunes and one of the first songs I ever bought on an iDealie was Hall and Oates’ “Sara Smile.” And, about disco...well, my ringtone is “Stayin’ Alive.” Someday, even the hair bands of the 1980’s – so highly reviled today by music snobs – will come back into vogue. I predict my ring-tone in 2022 will be Ratt’s “Round and Round.”)

Anyway, the Bride told me those brown leather shoes with wooden heels did not car-bon date from 1978 but from the early 1980’s, right after our second daughter was born. That puts them more along the lines of Kim Carnes’ “Bette Davis Eyes” rather than K.C. and the Sun-shine Band’s “I’m Your Boogie Man.”

Still, that’s pretty old for a pair of shoes, 33 years. They were the only pair of brown dress shoes I had during that stretch.

I had them resoled a few times, but soon the actual architecture of the shoe – its very integrity – began liter-ally disintegrating.

That was OK; I didn’t wear them a ton. Then I went to the movie about a year ago. The weak heel failed as I walked down the steep stairs and I tumbled all the way to the lower level.

The heel had separated. But I found it – rooting around in the auditorium afterward, certainly creeping out the teenagers trying to clean the place up for the next showing.

It had simply come undone and the (old) shoe nails stuck in the carpet. So I just stomped the heel back on and it

worked just fine for months.Then it happened again. And again.

The stomping repair began to be less effective.

The final straw was heading to an elementary school’s principal’s office and the thing snapping off twice. The end had come for my groovy brown

disco shoes.Sighing, I threw

them away. (The Bride rejoiced.)

Seeing them off reminded me of my all-time fa-vorite t-shirt. (The Bride can proba-bly shoot this date down too, but I’m more solid on this one.)

I had the very coolest shirt ever made (for 1976). It was blue with a huge solid black imprint of the then-hipsters’ hero, Frank Zap-pa.

I love Zappa. He’s not for ev-eryone. He was a liberal’s liberal back in the day and did not shy away from avant-garde musical ex-periments stuffed

with sometimes witty/crude lyrics. (“Watch out where the huskies go/Don’t you eat that yellow snow.”)

His record Apostrophe became the big thing in our gang and we quoted from it regularly, chuckling at our in-jokes like “Is that a real pancho or a Sear’s pancho?” and “Your stink-foot puts the hurt on my nose.”

(Could we have been cooler?)There’s a photo of me, 20, wearing

the shirt while on a Galveston beach in 1976.

So, in an effort to recapture those lost 70’s, I searched the Internet for that stylin’ old Zappa shirt. Surely, someone had one, somewhere.

They did not.There are plenty of other Zappa

shirts at many stores, emblazoned with his wacky philosophy. But that original is nowhere to be found.

They have gone the way of my fan-tastic disco shoes – only I suspect the true facts are that the Bride is the one who tossed Zappa. D’oh.

Wednesday, August 27, 201410A OPINION

Gov. Rick Perry on Aug. 20 walked the block and a half from the G o v e r n o r ’ s

Mansion to the Travis County Courthouse, presented himself for arraignment by a state dis-trict judge and routine booking procedures, spoke at a five-min-ute press conference and left.

Perry was indicted on Aug. 15 by a Travis County grand jury on felony charges of abuse of official capacity and coer-cion of a public servant. Perry entered a plea of not guilty to either charge.

The charges stem from the governor’s veto of the Public Integrity Unit’s 2014-2015 bud-get in June 2013. The 35-em-ployee unit, which serves as the state’s ethics-investigating body, is the direction of Travis County District Attorney Rose-mary Lehmberg. Perry said he would veto the agency’s budget unless Lehmberg resigned from her elected office.

Lehmberg was arrested in Austin for drunken driving in April 2013. Photographs and video recordings of her condi-tion immediately before, dur-ing and after her arrest were widely disseminated. She served a short jail sentence, publicly apologized, underwent counseling, returned to her post, and contrary to the gover-nor’s wishes, refused to resign. Perry reacted with a line-item

veto of legislatively approved funding for the Public Integrity Unit ($7.5 million) in the state’s 2014-2015 general appropria-tions act.

Perry assembled a legal defense team and called the charg-es baseless. Concerns about the cost of a taxpayer-funded de-fense soon arose and Perry supporters said private donations were being raised in lieu of public fund-ing.

DWI patrols to increaseTexas Department of Public

Safety on Aug. 15 announced the planned increase of DWI patrols through Sept. 2. Labor Day is Monday, Sept. 1.

DPS troopers will focus DWI patrols in high-risk locations at times when alcohol-related crashes are most frequent. Enhanced patrols targeting impaired drivers are funded through a grant from the Texas Department of Transportation.

During the Labor Day en-forcement effort last year, DPS troopers made 1,682 DWI ar-rests, 24,443 speeding citations, 3,541 seat belt/child safety seat citations, 1,223 fugitive arrests and 977 felony arrests.

DPS Director Steven Mc-Craw said, “The Department urges all drivers to do their part

this Labor Day holi-day and every day by obeying traffic laws and not drinking and driving.”

Meanwhile, Tex-as Department of Transportation is promoting its annual Labor Day “Drink-Drive-Go-to-Jail” campaign to remind drivers and motorcy-clists to avoid drink-ing and driving or else face severe con-sequences.

The Aug. 15 through Sept. 1 campaign co-incides with a nationwide en-forcement period sponsored by the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration.

CNG, LNG sales reportedSales of natural gas motor

fuel in Texas has exceeded ex-pectations for fiscal year 2014, Texas Railroad Commissioner David Porter announced Aug. 19.

As of July 31, fiscal 2014 tax revenue from sales of com-pressed natural gas (CNG) and liquefied natural gas (LNG) motor fuel totaled $2,178,199, according to the state Comp-troller’s office.

“These collections are more than double the estimated amount,” Porter said. “At 15 cents per gallon equivalent, $2,178,199 of motor fuel tax equals sales of 14,521,326

gallon equivalents of natural gas.” A gallon equivalent is the amount of CNG or LNG with the same energy content as a gallon of gasoline or diesel fuel, Porter explained.

Prop. 1 to be on ballotTexas Secretary of State

Nandita Berry on Aug. 20 an-nounced a proposed amend-ment to the Texas Constitution related to transportation will appear on the Nov. 4 statewide election ballot as Proposition 1.

Prop. 1 provides for the use and dedication of certain money transferred to the state highway fund to assist in the completion of transportation construction, maintenance and rehabilitation projects, not to include toll roads.

The last day to register to vote in the election is Oct. 6. Early voting begins Oct. 20 and runs through Oct. 31. More in-formation may be found at Vo-teTexas.gov.

ACT number hits highTexas Education Commis-

sioner Michael Williams on Aug. 20 announced the number of Texas students in the 2014 graduating class taking the ACT college admission test hit a new high: 116,547, up by more than 6,700 students from 2013.

My friends, I am aware of a world-wide epi-demic. I’ve seen it for

years, as one who works pri-marily with volunteers. It has no official name, but I suggest a couple: (1) Hand Raising Syn-drome or (2) No-No-Itis.

HRS manifests when leaders are looking for vol-unteers for projects or initiatives. Af-flicted persons im-mediately raise their hands to volunteer without considering all that is involved. They are enthusias-tic team players, the kind of people that leaders love to have around because they help get new things off the ground quickly.

NNI looks like HRS except it mani-fests privately. Persons afflicted with this strain may not be so quick to volunteer publicly, but they have the inability to say “no” to requests that come di-rectly to them. They possess no “no.”

I am in recovery from both of these. HRS shows up rare-ly now, but NNI is a constant battle that requires some very intentional protocols. I will ad-dress those protocols momen-tarily, but let me pause for a moment of clarification.

If you do not suffer from ei-ther of these afflictions, you ei-ther have good boundaries and processing skills or you may be suffering from AGD (Ain’t Gonna Do it) or HOS (Happy on the Sidelines), in which case different protocols will be ad-dressed in next week’s Life Matters.

Now, back to this week’s protocols. Here are three ques-tions to consider before saying “Yes”:

1. If I say “yes” to this, to what will I have to say “no?” There are only 10,080 minutes in a week. Our answers do not

affect that number. Will you say “no” to sleep, family time, work responsibilities, or minis-tries in which you are already invested?

2. What will my life look like five years from now if I say “yes” to this? Time resources are easier to quantify, but you also have a finite amount of fi-nancial and personal resources (physical, mental, emotional,

and spiritual en-ergy). Every “yes” costs something in each of those cat-egories and will automatically ne-cessitate a “no” somewhere else. The mythologi-cal “multi-tasking” concept is really do-ing multiple things in rapid succession with diminishing effectiveness.

3. Is this some-thing God is asking me to do and what

is the eternal investment? God sometimes speaks to us through those requests from others, but if we are consistently listening to Him and have already re-sponded to a greater “yes” in the scope of His kingdom pur-poses, it is much easier to say “no” without regret or apology to requests that really don’t do much except create more busy-ness and stress, and tax our re-sources so that we are unable to say “yes” when God is moving.

Our lives matter so much to God that He wants us to invest in things that have eternal con-sequence. Jesus said, “Store your treasures in heaven, where moths and rust cannot destroy, and thieves do not break in and steal. Wherever your treasure is, there the desires of your heart will also be.” (Matthew 6:20-21)

How are you investing in eternity?

Saying “No” without regret

Lady Hornets reach Graham title match

Racers off to Elk Run

Scrimmages: AHS Hosts Burleson

by mark k. campbellThe Lady Hornet volley-

ball team made a nice run at a crowded Graham tournament.

Azle (11-5) came within one game of winning the event.

In pool play Friday, Aug. 22, AHS won three of four match-es, posting a 6-2 mark.

The Lady Hornets defeated Palo Duro 25-11, 25-8 and Burkburnett 25-11, 25-13.

Abilene High topped Azle 17-25, 19-25 before AHS bounced back to defeat 5-5A rival Wichi-ta Falls 27-25, 25-21.

The impressive pool play mark propelled the Lady Hor-nets to the Gold bracket.

In the opener Aug. 23, Lub-bock Cooper tumbled to Azle 25-18, 25-20.

Next, AHS popped The Colo-ny 25-23, 25-22.

That set up a championship clash with Abilene High, the team that Azle fell to in pool play.

This time, the Lady Hornets won the opener 25-21 before

falling 11-25, 22-25.Coach Jennifer Robinson

said, “We played well this weekend. The most important thing is that we are continuing to improve and competing.”

NEXT UP – An Argyle tour-ney, Aug. 28-30.

With the annual 6-mile re-lay cross country opener past, the regular season begins on a familiar course – Chishenhall Park in Burleson at the Elk Run Fri., Aug. 29.

At the Birdville relay, one Lady Hornet team finished sec-ond and another fifth out of 18 squads.

The AHS JV took fourth out of 18 teams.

Three boys teams finished fifth, eighth, and 16th out of 24 teams.

A trio of JV units took sev-enth, 11th, and 23rd out of 38 rivals.

Girls coach Melody Dennis said the season “looks tough,” but: “We will continue our philosophy of out-working the other teams and learning to race together as a team.”

Boys coach Keith Boen-isch believes his team is a top 5 regional squad “if they stay healthy, progress like they did last year, and don’t over-think this thing.”

He added that AHS has depth in both the varsity and the JV.

SPORTSWednesday, August 27, 2014 13A

by mark k. campbellExpect the fight for the four

playoff berths out of 5-5A to be a slugfest.

And Azle will be among the battlers, AHS coach Devon Dorris said.

The Hornets hosted Burleson – a playoff team in 2013 – and played well until late, Dorris recalled.

“It was getting hot; we let off the gas,” he said. “That helped us determine that we’re not where we needed to be.”

Earlier in the traditional scrimmage, the varsity scored 4 times – 3 by the No. 1 unit and once by the second group.

In the “live game,” the Elks and Hornets tied 1-1.

“They punched some holes in our armor and we need to fix that,” Dorris said.

With the season looming, Dorris said the Hornets are anx-ious to hit the gridiron.

“We have put in a lot of hard work and can’t wait to step on the field,” he said.

That happens – for just one of four times in 2014 – this Friday night at 7:30 p.m. when Gran-bury comes to Hornet Field.

The Pirates are not picked to reach the playoffs this season – but neither is Azle, Dorris said.

All games 7:30 excepted noted

Another state football title in certainly a possibility for Azle Christian School.

Runners-up last year on a freezing November day in Springtown, this year’s Cru-saders bring back an explosive offense.

Coach Gary Rushing has scheduled three public schools to get ACS ready for TCAF play.

Veteran Crusaders Joey Ro-samond (QB) and Jake Bartell (WR) make a formidable team that hooked up for 19 TDs – and that’s with Bartell playing in just 7 games.

Other vets returning include back Josh Crawford, center Cody Warren, and kicker Alex Schardt. A Nazarene move-in, Alex Coffee, will help, too, Rushing said.

“This is the best offense since I’ve been here,” the coach said.

The Crusaders open 2014 ranked No. 2 in private school 6-man football, behind only Odessa Latter Rain – a team ACS faces at home Oct. 3.

Azle Christian will meet Sanderson, a town in far West Texas, at Water Valley near San Angelo.

Gary rushing

Still, Granbury is the “favorite” according to weekly rankings.

Dorris said, because of AHS’ statewide ranking, the Hornets will be officially underdogs in many games, especially early in the season until Azle starts tallying wins.

Dorris said the change in the game clock – from 25 seconds to 40 between plays this year – won’t affect his squad much.

Another change will affect the Marching Green Pride. Now, bands can not play from the time opposing players break from the huddle until the ball is snapped.

Previously, the MGP’s con-stant noise had stymied foes.

A Dame to Kill ForNeither here ‘noir’ there

Starring: Mickey Rourke, Josh Brolin, Jessica Alba, Eva GreenDirected by: Miller/RodriguezRated R: everything – yes, the Movie Man said everything

... on a scale of 1-104

Movie Man14A Wednesday, August 27, 2014

The follow up to 2005’s Sin City (Movie Man No. 606, a 5) took its time arriving. It’s fi-nally here just over nine years later and, unfortunately, it suf-fers from the same woes of the original.

About the film

The first one wasn’t a colos-sal hit at $74.1 million. But it had its fanboy base and that grew via in-home viewing.

This sequel is similar to the original with a couple of excep-tions.

One, it tanked huge at the box office.

Two, the title is much lon-ger: Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For.

That’s far from the longest ti-tle ever, however. If you throw out documentaries, obscure foreign movies, and shorts, a few mainstream movies rank among the lengthiest.

A doozy is Those Magnificent Men in Their Flying Machines or How I flew from London to Paris in 25 Hours 11 Minutes. That was 1965.

Another hails from 2006, Borat: Cultural Learnings of America for Make Benefit Glo-rious Nation of Kazakhstan (MM #690, 7).

The most critically loved long-titled movie is Stanley Kubrick’s Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Wor-rying and Love the Bomb in (1964).

Another one that gave mar-quee builders headaches was Don’t Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood (1999).

A couple of others that gained some notoriety: Who Is Har-ry Kellerman and Why is He Saying Those Terrible Things About Me? (1971) and The As-sassination of Jesse James By the Coward Robert Ford (2007, probably the least seen Brad Pitt movie).

Fans of weirdo Sixties mov-ies (like the Movie Man) are fond of The Incredibly Strange

Latest graphic novel adaptation plenty graphicCreatures Who Stopped Living and Became Mixed-Up Zom-bies (1964).

The “official” record holder for longest title is intentionally stupid: Night of the Day of the Dawn of the Son of the Bride of the Return of the Revenge of the Terror of the Attack of the Evil, Mutant, Hellbound, Flesh-Eat-ing, Subhumanoid Zombified Living Dead, Part 2: In Shock-ing 2-D (1991).

All these titles make Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For seem piddling, admit-tedly. It’s one of those titles that has a prominent creator – writ-er, director, etc. – in the title; di-rector John Carpenter is famed for this.

Miller is as beloved by fan-boys as Joss Whedon and J.J. Abrams. Miller gained nerd fame when he penned popular Batman comic stories back in the 1980’s.

He was also behind the film misfires Robocop 2 (1990) and 3 (1993) and he wrote the graphic novel that was turned into the hit 300 (2006, MM#708, 6). Its sequel, 300: Rise of an Empire (2014, MM #1,079, 7), was also based on one of Miller’s graphic efforts.

In 2008, folks (including the Movie Man) had high hopes for The Spirit (MM #805, 3). Mill-er wrote that screenplay, but it suffered from the same malady that the Sin Citys suffer from: They look cool but just end up being completely forgettable.

Miller had a hand in directing a trio of movies – Spirit and the Sin Citys – that perform better on the page than the screen.

The plot

There are actually three threads of plots weaving around here, some of them prequels to the original movie. (That hard-ly matters when watching it, however.)

Basin City is scummy and these tales revolve around the even scummier parts of town.

Marv (Mickey Rourke) is a

beast of a bouncer who protects stripper Nancy (Jessica Alba) who is angry at senator Roark (Powers Boothe) for killing the only person she ever loved, Hartigan (Bruce Willis).

Johnny (Joseph Gordon-Levitt) is the luckiest guy in the world at gambling, some-thing he plans on using to get to Roark.

Dwight (Josh Brolin) can’t shake the lure of Ava (Eva Green) who manipulates men with her sensuality to get whatever she wants – includ-ing investigating cop Mort (Christopher Meloni) – with loyal henchman Manute (Den-nis Haysbert) always there to protect her.

Characters ebb and flow, popping up then disappear-ing before joining together for some serious havoc.

What works

As expected, this movie looks great. It mimics the look of a black-and-white graphic comic with occasional star-tling splashes of red or other colors.

The dialogue is intentionally smarmy and campy – the entire film is a take-off on the film noir moviemaking style from the 1940s.

Many static scenes – mirror-ing comic book panels – look fantastic including a stack of gambler’s coins that resemble

a cityscape and the hulking Roark wandering around in the midst of gunfire and may-hem.

Boothe as the senator is far and away the top dog in the act-ing category. He’s straight-up evil and clearly revels in it.

Best scene (spoiler)

Boothe’s Roark is not happy that Gordon-Levitt’s Johnny has not only defeated him in his secret poker game but flat-out humiliated him. So Roark, in his long limo, screeches up and snatches Johnny. Inside the car, very bad things happen to the cocky Johnny. (He ends up having to visit a back alley doctor played by Christopher

Lloyd.)There’s intensity in this scene

that does not show up again, sadly.

What doesn’t work (spoiler)

The characters are just not interesting here despite great potential. Willis is a ghost and Haysbert is built up as invin-cible then gets dispatched way too easily.

Alba is an incredibly bad actress. Believing she could ever fulfill her violent vendetta against Roark is simply impos-sible.

The greatest crime of A Dame to Kill For is the pitiful lack of using the 3-D process. If any movie ever begged to be more in-yo’-face, it was this one. Yet, except for occasional blood spurts (which get old very quickly) or a heaved weapon, the film is disappointingly flat. That was a royal bummer.

The rating

This is a hard R. Green dis-robes often, and there’s a ton of violence and gore. Surprising-ly, the language isn’t too bad at all until late. Still, this is a very hard R.

Summing up

High hopes dashed once again, sigh. A film can’t just

look good – it’s gotta deliver more.

And Frank Miller’s Sin City: A Dame to Kill For fails, long title or not.

Next up

The November Man (looks like old school spy fun).

Summer is now officially over, movie-wise. Still, the fi-nal tally for the Guess the Top 10 Movies of Summer won’t be done until the end of September or so.

One thing is for sure: The Guardians of the Galaxy (MM #1,099, 7) will be the No. 1 movie of the season.
