This Week in Azle History

5 Years AgoIt snowed – a lot – on Christmas Eve 2009. In some

places drifts were three feet high.

By caRla noah stutsManFor the second time in less than

10 years, members of the Azle High School Class of 1985 have learned that a classmate has been sentenced to death for multiple murders.

On Feb. 27, 2006, a Tarrant County jury sentenced Stephen Dale Barbee to death for the Feb. 19, 2005 mur-der of Lisa Underwood, 34, and her 7-year-old son, Jayden, at their Fort Worth home. Underwood was seven months pregnant at the time of her murder.

On Wednesday, Dec. 17, a Kaufman County jury handed down the death penalty to Barbee’s classmate, Eric Lyle Williams, for the murders of Kaufman County District Attorney Michael McLelland and his wife, Cynthia, on March 30, 2013.

The same jury had convicted him of the murders the previous week.

Barbee remains on death row in a prison unit not far from Huntsville.

Williams is slated to join his former classmate after processing through the Texas Department of Criminal Jus-tice system, which can take several months.

Williams’ now-estranged wife, Kim Williams, testified against him at trial. She, too, is charged with the murders of Mark Hasse and both McLellands.

According to reports, Kim Williams also told investigators where they could find the weapon used to gun down Kaufman County’s top prosecu-tor, Hasse, in January 2013.

That weapon was located by a po-lice dive team at the bottom of Lake Tawakoni.

Williams has yet to be tried for Hasse’s murder.

Speculation is that Kim Williams may be offered a plea deal for life in prison for the role she played in the murders of Hasse and the McLellands.

Two other people – Erleigh Wiley, appointed to be Mike McLelland’s successor as Kaufman County DA, and Williams’ former boss, retired state District Judge Glen Ashworth – remained on a “hit list” Williams made, but he was arrested before he could carry out their murders, accord-ing to prosecutors.

A former Kaufman County justice of the peace, Williams graduated from Texas Christian University in 1989, where he obtained a degree in crimi-nal justice.

He also obtained a degree from Tex-as Wesleyan Law School in 1999.

According to the Texas Commis-sion on Law Enforcement Standards and Education, Williams has worked as a police officer in the cities of Lake-side, White Settlement, Springtown, and Roanoke, as well as for the Hood County Sheriff’s Department and the Tarrant County Hospital District.

His motive in all three murders was revealed to be revenge against those who prosecuted him after learning he was stealing computer monitors from Kaufman County. He was convicted and, as a result, lost his law license.

In assessing the jury’s sentence on Williams, District Judge Michael Snipes, who presided over the trial, said: “You made yourself out to be some sort of Charles Bronson ‘Death Wish’ vigilante in this case. I never bought that … You murdered a little old lady, and you would have mur-dered two other innocent people if you would have had the opportunity.”

Non-profit helps with childhood literacy

AHS grad a former local cop

By MaRk k. caMpBEll“Literacy is correlated to poverty.”That’s what Lester Meriwether told

Azle Rotarians Dec. 18 at the group’s weekly meeting.

Meriwether is the executive director of the non-profit Literacy ConneXus, an organization that focuses on getting books into young children’s hands.

The Books for the Border and Be-yond program began in 2008 in Eagle Pass, part of Fort Worth Western Hills Baptist Church’s outreach program.

The Texas border was a target be-cause seven of the 20 poorest counties in America are in Texas, along or near the Rio Grande River.

Those seven: Presidio (west of Big Bend National Park); Maverick and Dimmit (adjacent to the river farther southeast) and Zavala (to the east); and Willacy, Hidalgo, and Starr (in the Rio Grande Valley).

Meriwether said third grade is a key point in a child’s literacy life – and future.

“It’s an indicator of how well a child will do in high school graduation and career success,” he noted.

Meriwether added that 80 percent of prison inmates are “fundamentally il-literate” and most of them have learn-ing disabilities.

A major component of Literacy ConneXus stems from an idea that Meriwether said came from God.

Instead of just supplying low-in-come families with books – many of which often ended up discarded or lost – why not also provide bookcases?

He said that Azle’s Ash Creek Bap-tist Church assembled 100 such cases a couple of years ago.

The small yet vital bookcases can also be put together by the families re-ceiving the books.

“The kids really love helping as-semble the bookcases,” Meriwether said. “It empowers them and they will take care of it.”

Filling those creations with books is done through “book banks” – collec-tion points spread throughout the state.

Reaching children early with books is crucial, he said.

“Our focus is on preschoolers,” Meriwether said, adding that books for older children are also included in deliveries.

Among the books each case con-tains: a children’s Bible, a health lit-eracy book, a baby reader, and 6-12 new and used story books.

By keeping books in families, a

“summer reading gap” – the time chil-dren are away from school – can be avoided or deterred.

The books and cases give families tools needed to escape generational poverty and improve literacy which, in turn, increases opportunities for en-richment in life.

The program makes a lasting im-

pact, he noted – and not just on the Texas border.

Literacy ConneXus reaches out to a variety of communities, he said.

Locally, a Pelican Bay project is looming, Meriwether said.

Holmes, longtime Senior Center director, steps downby CArlA noAh STuTSMAn

When the Azle Senior Center opened its door in mid-1986, Darlene Holmes was at the helm.

Friday, Dec. 19, a retirement party was held at the Center, located at 601 Southeast Park-way in the B.J. Clark Commu-nity Center, in Holmes’ honor.

The longtime Center director – also called leader, organizer, cheerleader, planner, janitor, cook, and especially friend – stepped down after 28-and-a-half years serving the senior citizens of Azle.

But that doesn’t mean she won’t be around.

“Now, I’ll be coming to the Senior Center as a senior citi-zen, not as the director,” Holmes laughed. “It’s time to let some-body else do all the work.”

Holmes said she has lots of plans for things she wants to do in her retirement years.

Holmes has been off work at-tending to some health issues since August, but you’d never know it based on her activity at the reception.

In her absence, another ex-traordinarily energetic and tal-ented Azle woman, Sue Dunn Turnipseed, graciously stepped in and kept things at the Senior Center running smoothly.

Azle Mayor Alan brundrett read a proclamation and presented Darlene holmes with a clock in honor of her retirement as director of the Azle Senior Center.

www.AzleNews.net

Senior Citizen Services of Greater Tarrant County, Inc. (SCS), with the city providing the space, covering the utili-ties and kicking in to help, with management costs of the pro-gram.

SCS, meanwhile, provides well-balanced noontime meals on weekdays for a nominal cost to the seniors, along with wellness initiatives and vari-ous other programs designed to enhance the quality of life for senior citizens.

Some of those programs in-

clude a safe driving class, ex-ercise and yoga classes, and Food Bank Day, which helps seniors receive extra food from the Tarrant Area Food Bank to help offset their gro-cery expenses.

Jerry Mosman, executive director for SCS, and Marcus Rockwell, center operations manager, presented Holmes with long-stemmed, orange roses during the retirement re-ception.

“Every Senior Center has a personality, and this center has a lot of Darlene’s personality,” Mosman said. “She’s been the backbone of this Senior Center since it opened.”

Azle Mayor Alan Brundrett read a proclamation honoring Holmes’ service to the city, and he and City Manager Craig Le-min presented Holmes with a clock as a retirement gift.

She also received a lighted angel Christmas decoration from the seniors at the Center.

In addition to a larger-than-normal crowd of seniors, Mos-man and Rockwell from SCS, and numerous city staffers, the retirement reception was also attended by three of Holmes’ sons and a grandson.

Hobbit: Battle of the Five ArmiesWhen dwarves were dwarves

Starring: Ian McKellen, Martin Freeman, Richard Armitage Directed by: Peter JacksonRated PG-13: violence, monsters

... on a scale of 1-107

Director’s Hobbit habit over after gigantic battleIf you’re a J.R.R. Tolkien

lover, these have been a heady 13 years.

No less than six movies have been made from the fantasy au-thor’s sprawling books.

Director Peter Jackson won over doubters with the first adaptation – and fanboys have stuck with him ever since.

About the filmWhile concern has been

raised by Ringnuts (fans of the Lord of the Rings) that a single book – The Hobbit – has been stretched into a trio of movies that has not stopped fans from filling movie houses.

Here’s how the Movie Man ranks the six Jackson Tolkien movies:

1. The Lord of the Rings – (2001, Movie Man No. 435, 9 [yet not the Best of Year; it’s rare when a 9 isn’t but Shrek (MM #405, 9) was better])

Everyone was surprised as how perfectly Jackson captured the unique feel and imagined look of the beloved first book.

2. The Return of the King – (2003, MM #539, 8)

While this one is the movie that would not end, it’s still tre-mendous.

3. The Two Towers – (2002, MM #488, 8)

Still fantastic, for the Movie Man, this was the lesser of the first trilogy

4. The Desolation of Smaug – (2013, MM #1066, 7)

The dragon scenes really saved this one.

5. Battle of the Five Armies6. The Hobbit – (2012, MM

#1013, 7) Like the second series of Star

Wars movies, this first effort of trilogy No. 2 seemed less than those magical originals.

Sill, all these Tolkien movies are highly watchable – espe-cially if you are a fan. They’re all noble efforts.

The plot (spoilers)Smaug the dragon is attack-

ing LakeTown, home of men, with a mighty fire breath that’s really doing some damage. Bard (Luke Evans) manages to kill the monster. That’s the good news. The bad news is that word gets out quickly that the Smaug’s gigantic horde of golden treasures is now up for grabs.

The 13 dwarfs – and Hobbit Bilbo (Martin Freeman) -- hold the mountain that contains the stash, but their leader, Thorin (Richard Armitage), has been poisoned by the bounty and is power-mad loco.

The men of LakeTown want their promised share of the gold. They’re joined at the foot of the mountain by an army of elves led by Thranduil (Lee Pace); those guys want histori-

cal silver jewelry stolen long ago. Thorin says, uh, no.

Meanwhile, orcs are on the move with not one but two armies. Still, the dwarfs refuse to allow anyone entrance into the mountain.

A mighty battle begins at the base when the first fear-some army of orcs arrive. However, it looks like the tide might turn when a dwarf mass marches in.

Still, Thorin won’t relent.Finally, the dwarf snaps out

of it and the mountain men enter the fray. There’s lots of fightin’ – Gandolf (Ian McKel-len) is down there and so are Legolas (Orlando Bloom) and Tauriel (Evangeline Lilly). All sorts of species die – including major characters – before the

battle ends.

What worksDirector Peter Jackson has

this Middle-Earth thing down. The screen is jammed with vi-suals, all pretty cool.

LakeTown looks great and so does the mountain, not to men-tion Smaug (voiced by Bene-dict Cumberbatch). And those orcs are just super creepy.

The residual creatures like “were-worms” and some beast-ly modes of transportation are well rendered.

The major actors are all enjoy-able: Freeman, McKellen, Ev-ans, and, especially, Armitage.

One death manages to be quite moving even if you don’t buy into all the fantasy stuff.

The ending will bring a smile to fans of the originals.

Best scene (spoiler)Thorin has been battling the

leader of the orcs on an ice sheet that leads to a frozen wa-terfall. The dwarf gets the huge orc to fall through the ice.

The creature slowly floats past, face up, trapped under the clear ice while Thorin walks above it. But the monster is fak-ing and when Thorin gets into position, the orc jabs a sword through the ice and into Tho-rin’s foot. The battle resumes.

What doesn’t workThe fighting is endless and

terribly repetitive. Sometimes there are unintended laughs like when Legolas is snatched up by a giant flying creature and toted around the sky for a while. And the Dune-y were-worms – after making such a groovy appear-ance – simply disappear.

The love story between elven Tauriel and a dwarf is terrible awkward.

It’s impossible to tell the combatants without a score-card. It gets so confusing that you finally just don’t care. Plus, for a movie with Hobbit in the title, Freeman is really a sec-ondary player which is weird.

Sometimes all the computer generation on the screen just looks like a giant video game.

The ratingThere’s a ton of scary crea-

tures here. And non-stop fight-

Summing upAgain, the Movie Man

bought up for the 3-D, and it wasn’t necessary. Except for a few scenes, the process was not taken advantage of, a bummer.

Still, when one steps back, this is really fantastic movie-making – so good that it’s easy to take for granted.

Who hasn’t eaten at Howell’s Western Cafe?

No other place in town says Springtown more than Howell’s.

They have served great homemade food to locals and passersby for decades.

Howell’s is entrenched in the town’s history – and that’s because of the restaurant’s quality and ironclad reputation as the place to eat in Springtown.

At Howell’s you can order breakfast all day as well as chicken-fried steak.

The restaurant offers daily lunch and dinner specials...and then there’s their famous pies – with everything homemade.

All Howell’s offerings are made from scratch from recipes that are more than 50 years old from grandparents’ kitchens of long ago.

With its always great prices, Howell’s

has down-to-earth employees who always make you feel welcome.

Howell’s came to Springtown on May 18, 1962. That’s when Dorothy Howell bought the place – without telling husband Claude.

Since then, Howell’s has fed multitudes.Today, the Springtown mainstay is run

by “retiring” Shirley Fletcher and grandson Harold Buffington.

Come see why Howell’s Western Cafe has the best food in town – and it’s been that way for more than half a century.

Located at 401 West Highway 199, Howell’s is open Sunday through Thursday from 6 a.m. to 10 p.m. and on Friday and Saturday from 6 to midnight.

Call them at 817-220-7915 and find out what so many have known for decades: You can’t beat the prices and classic homemade food at Howell’s Western Cafe.

Beloved restaurant is more than 50 years old

Great homemade food served by friendly people – that’s why Howell’s Western Cafe has been the place to eat in Springtown for more than half a century.

Voted Best Overall in the parade was the Santa Train of Miles by Truck and Equipment Sales.

The float with the Most Christmas Spirit was the Stage Coach Trailer by Erwin Manu-facturing.

The group that best recog-nized the parade theme of “A Cowboy Christmas” was the North Texas Equine Driving

Club with miniature horses and buggies.

Most Creative was a Christ-mas-themed ship owned by “Buck.”

The Best Texas Christmas award went to Cub Scout Pack 147.

The Best Light Display of all Main Street businesses was deemed to be at Country Cot-tage.

Ladies fall in district openerThe Lady Hornets reached

the first game of District 5-5A play ranked No. 13 in the state.

But, at Boswell, the Lady Pioneers got 21 points from junior Shelby Jasso and upset Azle (10-2, 0-1), 49-43.

AHS Coach Mitzi Marquart said, “We knew it was going to be a tough district, and Boswell gave us their ‘A’ game.

“They played well and we didn’t. We struggled to put things together.”

In the Dec. 16 clash, the teams played near-even over the final three periods after Bos led 9-4 following the first eight minutes.

For Azle, Valarie Matlock scored 13 points and passed out 4 assists, both team highs. She also grabbed 4 rebounds.

Payton Berger’s 8 boards was tops; she also scored 9 points.

Taylor Fulfer had 11 points and 5 rebounds while Makenzi Bossert snatched 6 rebounds to go with 5 points.

Boswell’s Jasso was deadly from long range; she hit five three-pointers.

The Lady Hornets faced Bo-swell Dec. 19 (results not avail-able at press time).

After the Christmas Break Azle will play in the Castleber-ry holiday tournament.

crosstown rival, Forte, by 3 points, Coach Kriss Meeker noted.

“It was a great matchup,” she said, adding that the game went back and forth with some stellar defense.

“It could’ve gone either way; the clock ended up in their favor,” Meeker said.

The 8th B is on a tear.First, the B defeated Lake Worth

44-12 on the road, Coach Alyssa Brownback said.

Then came an Eagle Mountain-Saginaw tournament. The B won the event.

Riley Comisky added 10 points, Jerico Ware 5, Cooper Moorman 4, and Marshal Sampley 1 in a game where each point mattered.

Pacing the B offense was Mathew Ulshafer with 14 points while Tristen Meason was the de-fensive star.

Lathen Harris added 3 points and so did Meason as well as Sam Pierce who nailed a bomb that “en-ergized the team.”

Cameron Schultz netted 2

Azle trailed 23-18 entering the final quarter.

Logan Graham and Miranda Davis both scored 12 points.

Rachel Wood netted 5 points and Murri Jenkins hit for 4.

val. The 8th A won 23-20.“The Lady Hornets played hard

and came up with a big win,” coaches recalled.

The 8th B fell to the “South” ju-nior high.

“The girls played hard and fought to the end,” said coaches.

The 7th A was “amazing” in a 23-4 rout of their Azle JH counter-parts.

“There was great support com-ing off the bench that helped them jump out to an early lead and they never looked back.”

The 7th B lost a close one, coaches recalled, 17-14.

“We were playing neck and neck to the very end and the girls fought hard,” they said.

Dallas then came home for a dual.

On Dec. 13, despite having several kids out “with flu-like symptoms,” Coach Chris Allen said six Hornets placed at Dal-las St. Marks.

Leading the pack were a trio of third place finishers: Colten Clearwater, Sean Parsons, and Seth Bell.

Shawn Mackey and James Conrique took fifth while Jim-my Fager finished sixth.

Back home Haltom and Weatherford arrived Dec. 16.

Lady Hornets got to tangle with Lady Buffs and Azle won, 38-12.

However, the Lady Roos edged Azle 27-21.

“We split matches and had too many holes, so forfeits cost us,” Allen said.

He added, “But it was a good dual with two matches against state-ranked wrestlers at 102 and 148.”

Ruby Ariosa lost a close de-

cision at 102.Allen said Lauren Dale at 148

won close decisions against ranked foes.

The boys popped Haltom 60-12 then defeated Weatherford 37-25.

Against Haltom, Allen said, “The kids wrestled smart and looked dominant.”

The Kangaroos posed a tougher challenge.

“We had to wrestle smart. Our upper weights did a good job but only came up with one bonus point to show for it,” Al-len said, noting that Weather-ford has “a great middle.”

Injuries played a part in Azle’s play.

Mackey shone against “a kid who beat last year’s reign-ing champ last week,” the Azle coach recalled.

Skylar Russell moved around in class “and really helped us out,” Coach Allen said.

Others earning bonuses were Cutter Cox, Cody Donnell, and Fager – who “really helped us get the win.”

ON YOURMARK

Mark K. Campbell

Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and hopes your Christmas is very merry.

I found a book at a yard sale by J. Frank Dobie The Ben Lilly Legend about a hunter who has been called the “Last Moun-tain Man.” I remembered well-known Cowboys' defensive

tackle Bob Lilly, who was a student at TCU when I was, and wondered if the two were related.

The mountain man, Benjamin Ver-non Lilly, was born December 31, 1856 in Alabama of Scot and English ancestry. He learned how to make hunting knives from his father, a blacksmith who moved the family to Mississippi while Ben was a young-ster. When his parents sent him to a military academy in Jackson, Miss, Lilly ran away, and no one knew where he was for several years. When an Uncle Vernon, after whom he was named, accidently encountered Ben in Memphis, Tennessee, he was working as a blacksmith. The uncle, a well-to-do planter in Louisiana, persuaded his nephew to come work for him, prom-ising to make him his heir. Ben agreed.

Lilly indeed inherited the estate, married, and had one son named Vernon, who died while still very young. Ben and his distraught wife divorced. Later he remarried and had three children. Lilly eventually de-cided he wasn't meant to be a farmer. He raised cattle, cut timber, and even made knives to sell. In the swamps of Louisiana he found his calling when he killed a bear with one of his own knives. In 1901 after ten years of mar-riage, Lilly signed over his property to his wife and left.

In 1904 the government paid him to collect animals for a national muse-um. He sent a cougar, five black bears and seven red wolves to Washington. Then in 1906 he moved to the Big

Thicket in east Texas where he hunted bears. President Theo-dore Roosevelt hired Lilly to help him, and the president killed a black bear. Roosevelt wrote about his hunting trip, and commented about Lilly. He described him as “spare, full-bearded, with mild, gentle, blue eyes and

a frame of steel . . . I never met any other man so indifferent to fatigue and hardship.” Roosevelt called Lilly a “remarkable character” who “is hardy as a bear or elk, literally caring noth-ing for fatigue and exposure which we couldn't stand at all. . .Often he would be on the trail of his quarry for days at a time, lying down to sleep wherever night overtook him.”

Lilly was strong, about 5 feet, 9 inches tall and weighed 180 pounds. He didn't smoke or drink alcohol or coffee. Roosevelt verified what others already knew, that Lilly never hunted on Sunday. A rancher said Lilly “spent his Sundays lying in the shade of a tree and reading the Bible.”

On one ranch he found and killed thirteen lions, some nice grizzlies, twelve bear, and a few lobo wolves. By 1912 he was hunting in Arizona Territory and learned that he could collect $10 an animal from the county. However, to collect it, he would not only need to turn over the animal's scalp, but have a witness to the kill-

ing. Nobody was going to follow Lilly around to do that. Ranchers would pay him to kill the predators without a wit-ness, so one year he averaged 50 lions and bears and collected $50 per scalp.

A toughened outdoorsman, Lilly in winter would break ice in a stream and plunge in for a bath, rubbing himself briskly after he came out of the water. For his lifestyle and hunting prowess, Dobie called him “the master detec-tive of the outdoors world.” From the bear tracks he trailed he could tell the age, sex, and character of each bear. He would relate to others, “one three-year-old male” or “one small female yearling.”

In 1925 Lilly told someone he had killed his 547th lion since 1912, and that was “after they had begun to get scarce.” For readers who are think-ing “I didn't know we had lions in America,” these are mountain lions, cougars, panthers (some southerners say painters). The terms often are used interchangeably.

Lilly died December 17, 1936, 14 days shy of age 80, in a “County Farm,” privately operated in Silver City, New Mexico. His tombstone reads “Lover of the Great Outdoors.” Later friends placed a bronze plaque on a granite boulder in Gila National Forest where he hunted more than anywhere else. While he was two or three generations later than the old mountain men, Ben Lilly certainly was one himself, the last one.

P.S. I emailed an address I found on Bob Lilly's website and asked if Ben Lilly was an ancestor. I haven't heard back.

Last mountain man Ben Lilly killed hundreds of bears, lions

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.

The Azle Lake Run was held on Nov. 15, 2014. I am late writing my annual acknowledgments to the Azle Police Department.

In the meantime, events have oc-curred on a national scale that have portrayed officers in a bad light. How many arrests happen every day nationwide? Of that number, how many result in harm to a citizen? The percentage must be less than a thou-sandth of a percent.

I am sure if given a redo, the officers could have successfully subdued the suspects without harming them based on what we know now. We don’t get a redo like you get in a video game. The police have less than a tenth of a second to evaluate the situation and decide if they are going to leave their own children fatherless or if they are

Do you remember me? I sat upon your knee; I wrote to you with childhood fantasies.

Well, I'm all grown-up now and

still need help somehow. I'm not a child, but my heart still can dream.

So here's my lifelong wish, my grown-up Christmas list, not for my-self but for a world in need:

No more lives torn apart, that wars would never start, and time would heal all hearts.

And everyone would have a friend, and right would always win, and love would never end.

This is my g r o w n - u p C h r i s t m a s list.

As children we believed the grandest sight to see was some-thing lovely wrapped be-

neath our tree. Well, heaven surely knows that

packages and bows can never heal hurting human soul.

What is this illusion called the in-nocence of youth? Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth.

No more lives torn apart, that wars would never start, and time would heal all hearts.

And everyone would have a friend, and right would always win, and love would never end.

This is my grown-up Christmas list. This is my only lifelong wish.

This is my grown-up Christmas list.

This song, “My Grown-Up Christ-mas List” was released in 1990.

I first heard it in 1992, recorded by Amy Grant. It has been recorded by many artists over the past 20 years, including Barbara Streisand, Aretha Franklin, Donny Osmond, Kelly Clarkson, Michael Buble, and a bunch of people I’ve never heard of.

I love the sentiment behind the song: the idea that the best things are not gifts under the tree, but peace, friendship, healing of broken hearts, and victory of right over wrong.

I also know that wishing for those things is just about as effective as writing to Santa and asking for them.

So, how do we move our “Christ-mas list” from sentiment to reality? Is it even possible? On a worldwide scale? Of course not.

In our corner of the world? Why not?

I can’t keep lives from being torn apart, but I can refuse to be the one tearing.

I can’t keep wars from starting, but I can refuse to start a fight at home.

I can’t be sure that everyone has a friend, but I can be a friend to a neighbor in need.

I can’t be sure that right will al-ways win, but I can be sure, by my choices, that right wins in me.

And if I understand that love is a decision, not a feeling, I will not let it end in my circle of influence.

Jesus said, “Blessed are the peace-makers, for they will be called sons of God.” (Matthew 5:9). He didn’t say “peace lovers” or “pacifists.”

Our lives matter so much to God that He invites us to join Him in what He is doing in the world. In the form of a baby in Bethlehem, He “showed up” in our world visibly. Now He wants to “show up” through us.

Merry Christmas.

Letter to the editor

Praising the Azle Police Department

going to fire. Nationwide, our heroes are not going to get a perfect score; tragedies will happen.

In 1985, I moved here to Azle. I have gotten to know a few officers. One of our police chiefs used to come to the Azle Ministerial Alliance meetings. One of my former co-workers joined the force. One minister who signed my ordination certificate in 1996 later became an Azle police officer. I have also worked with the police each year as the director of the Azle Lake Run.

There is a different culture here. Our Azle police rarely make the news. They are like eggs in a cake. You don’t notice their presence, but they hold everything together.

Some years ago we were trying to help a struggling black family. I men-tion race because of recent events. The man was drunk and threatening his wife. I just wanted him locked up. The officer and his partner came to my house and totally resolved the

situation. The man’s blood pressure was dangerously high. No arrests, no jail time. The officers even got him to calm down, thus decreasing his blood pressure. This family was saved and is still together. On that particular night, the officers in our home were better ministers of the gospel than I was.

As long as I have been here in Azle, I know of no time when shots have been fired. Oh, weapons have been drawn, but never a shot fired that I know of; situations have been resolved by wis-dom and restraint.

The Azle police force is the best there is. They have been consistent through the years. I am thankful to God for what we have in Azle. We are very blessed and I encourage us all to tell our officers that on a regular ba-sis. The invisible force that holds our community together needs to know they are not invisible to us.

Wednesday, December 24, 2014 Azle News OPINION 9A

On Dec. 11, a Senate-House joint commit-tee empaneled to adopt a suf-ficient balance

for the state’s “rainy day fund” approved $7 billion as the floor for it.

Properly titled the Economic Stabilization Fund, the oil and gas tax-fueled pool of money was created by constitutional amendment in 1988 when oil was selling as low as $10 a bar-rel, causing state coffers to run thin. Calculated at $6.7 billion last August, the fund previously had no required minimum. The maximum the fund may hold is capped at 10 percent of the state’s general revenue during the previous two-year budget cycle.

Proposition 1, passed by Texas voters on Nov. 4, was “The constitutional amend-ment providing for the use and dedication of certain money transferred to the state highway fund to assist in the completion

of transportation construction, maintenance, and rehabilita-tion projects, not to include toll roads.”

The measure requires the state to split the oil and gas revenue between the rainy day fund and state highway fund. Because of the booming oil and gas industry, some $1.74 bil-lion is to be transferred into the highway fund in 2015.

“This transfer will provide a much-needed boost to transpor-tation, which affects everything from commerce and economic development to public safety and our quality of life," said Sen. Jane Nelson, R-Grapevine, co-chair of the joint committee. “The floor also ensures that Tex-as has sufficient reserves for any unexpected difficulties in the fu-ture. It also allows us to address our vital infrastructure needs in a fiscally responsible way.”

TxDOT senses optimismTexas Department of Trans-

portation last week announced the agency “is riding a wave

of optimism as citi-zens, national trans-portation groups and stakeholders have noted great improve-ments in Texas just in time for state law-makers to convene for the 84th Legisla-tive session.”

According to a Dec. 9 TxDOT news release, “Many have stated that transpor-tation is a key is-sue for legislators in 2015, and by passing Proposition 1 with an 80 percent approval, voters have entrusted TxDOT with the job of addressing congestion and keeping our roads safe.”

Sales tax revenue is upState Comptroller Susan

Combs on Dec. 10 reported state sales tax revenue in No-vember of $2.66 billion, up 10.7 percent compared to No-vember 2013.

Combs said gains were led

by oil and natural gas-related sectors and collections from retail trade and res-taurants also rose strongly.

Cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose tax-ing districts will receive December local sales tax al-locations totaling $645.9 million, up 11.4 percent com-pared to December 2013, Combs added.

School ratings releasedTexas Education Agency on

Dec. 3 announced its release of the final 2014 state account-ability system ratings for more than 1,200 school districts and charters and more than 8,500 campuses.

Final ratings are issued fol-lowing an appeals process pro-vided to districts and charters that contested the district or campus ratings originally an-

nounced in August, TEA ex-plained.

Final 2014 ratings show 90.2 percent of the state’s 949 school districts and 158 char-ters achieved the rating of “Met Standard.”

Alert: Lock your vehicleTexas Department of Public

Safety on Dec. 11 encouraged drivers to take necessary pre-cautions to protect their vehi-cles from possible theft during holiday season.

DPS Director Steven Mc-Craw said, “December is one of the busiest months for auto thefts, and during this holiday shopping season, it is important that any valuables in a vehicle are out of sight.”

According to the DPS, 5,395 automobiles, pickups and mo-torcycles were recorded stolen in December 2013, “making it the third-highest month for vehicle thefts that year behind July and August.” In addition, more than 13,100 vehicle bur-glaries were reported and $12.2

million in property stolen last December.

Permit process speeds upTexas Railroad Commission

on Dec. 11 announced its In-formation Technology Modern-ization Program is making the process for granting oil and gas drilling permits faster.

“Expedited permit process-ing was reduced from a peak of 30 days experienced with a surge in industry activity in the spring of this year to a one-day processing rate in November,” according to the petroleum-reg-ulating agency.

Commissioner David Porter said that in addition to the im-proved technology, the agency has hired additional temporary staff “to help meet the demands of the rising drilling permit applications and to assist our hardworking permanent staff.”

Panel sets $7 billion minimum for Rainy Day Fund

STATE CAPITAL

HIGHLIGHTSEd Sterling

Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services

director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

When [President] Obama hired Al Sharpton, he was final-ly getting a replacement in his life for his preacher of 20 years, Jeremiah Wright who prayed that God would damn America. Like Wright, Sharpton is a ver-bal bomb thrower and an expe-rienced agitator.

Isn't it ironic that with a black U.S. Attorney General [Eric Holder] and president, race relations have reached a toxic level that has undermined the great progress made since Mar-tin Luther King, Jr.’s peaceful protests and peace promoting eloquent speeches that inspired people of all races.

Letter to the editor

Race relations today: ‘Toxic’

These days we hear egotisti-cal anarchistic rabble rousers and hate mongering hypocrites flaunting their contempt for America.

Sharpton hit the ground run-ning in Ferguson and now he's leading demonstrators in NYC who are calling for dead cops.

Sadly, at least one cop has responded with understandable anger but inappropriate com-ments that are just not going to work.

How many of us would have felt like saying the same things if people started threatening to kill us or our family?

It’s been real recent that ISIS also threatened to kill cops in America. Are they working the crowds in NYC? Terrorists and anarchists despise people in

law enforcement because they effectively protect this nation at the local level.

More than ever, people in law enforcement are having to watch their backs. They need to know that a vast major-ity of Americans want them to be safe from harm at all times and that threats against law enforcement personnel better stop, right now.

Communities and cities across America are dependent on those men and women who have chosen to serve and pro-tect, no matter the cost. With-out them we could not live in peace and safety. They must be able to do the same.

For people who reside in rural communities, access to health-care services is often limited. Some rural facilities may not be equipped to handle transitional

care or specialized follow-up care after a life-changing ill-ness or event. Allevant Solu-tions, LLC., a collaborative ef-fort of Mayo Clinic and Select

Medical, is a resource available to make improved healthcare a reality.

According to the U.S. Depart-ment of Health & Human Ser-vices, one-quarter of America’s population lives in rural areas, where hospital closures have had a profound impact on ac-cess to healthcare. Compared to people who live closer to cities, rural residents generally have fewer doctors and fewer re-sources. In addition, ventilator or transitional care services may not be readily available locally.

Other difficulties include delivering services that target special health needs to rural areas. Low population density can make it difficult to adver-tise important health screen-ings, distribute vaccines, such as influenza or shingles, and newborn and young children may not receive the routine screenings and immunizations required for proper health.

The Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality has iden-tified some key factors notable in rural areas:

• Rural residents average fewer physician visits or calls than people living in urban communities.

• There is a lack of adequate support training for emergen-cy medical personnel in rural America.

• Rural hospitals are shifting toward outpatient services due to a lack of funding or a lack of staff.

There is no easy solution to the situation, and government and nonprofit agencies have begun programs to revitalize care options in rural communi-ties. Two notable organizations are already developing ways to strengthen care options in rural locations. Mayo Clinic and Se-lect Medical formed Allevant Solutions to develop ventilator weaning and transitional care programs. Through consulting services, Allevant will guide hospitals and skilled nursing

facilities through the busi-ness end of remaining viable in today’s world. Presenting cost-savings advice and deve lop ing management strategies to enable local hospitals to remain rel-evant to their c o m m u n i -ties, facilities can spend more time doing what they do best -- offering quality care. Side effects of a stronger rural health-care system are the cre-ation of new jobs in areas where current h e a l t h c a r e opportunities have been stagnant, and keeping hos-pital doors open -- re-ducing the number of lay-offs.

“ O u r h e a l t h c a r e c o l l e a g u e s in rural ar-eas fulfill a vital role, and just like their urban counterparts, they need to prepare for the future,” said Thomas Buckingham, p r e s i d e n t of Allevant Solutions. “With the nation’s population aging, healthcare providers in all markets will need to admit an increasing number of patients with medi-cally complex conditions. Al-levant Solutions will help ru-ral healthcare providers put in place the resources necessary to meet these growing needs in their communities.”

As they build relationships with medical centers in the

area, Allevant Solutions en-courages individuals living in rural communities to follow

these important health guide-lines.

• Schedule a health screening and physical every year.

• Visit a hospital in an emer-gency situation even if you do not have health insurance. Most hospitals will not refuse care in the absence of health insurance.

• Follow physicians’ recom-mendations for follow-up care after a major illness or injury.

• Establish a support system

for transporting elderly resi-dents or those without trans-portation to and from health

centers.• Voice your opinion to doc-

tors and health-services provid-ers on how they can improve their services.

Rural healthcare facilities, including nursing homes and rural hospitals, are urged to learn more about Allevant So-lutions to lower costs and of-fer improved services to their clientele. More information is available at www.allevant.com.

By Natalie GeNtryReno Mayor Lynda Stokes,

reminded attendees at the City Council meeting Dec. 15. there is a citywide burn ban in effect.

Lack of rain and high winds have contributed to a high fire danger in recent weeks.

Stokes said the ban was put in place because the Reno Vol-unteer Fire Department has battled several grass fires in the past month, including three blazes in one day.

The ban will remain in effect

until the situation improves, Stokes said.

Most of the fires have been started by people burning trash in the high winds.

Outdoor cooking on gas grills, charcoal grills and in smokers with no exposed flame is exempted from the ban, but any other kind of outdoor burn-ing is prohibited.

The National Weather Ser-vice expects the dry weather to return through Christmas week in the area.

it’s been more than five years since gas prices have fallen below $2 per gallon. the lower prices are expected to remain in that range until year’s end. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

Parker County arrests

Reno burn ban in effect

By Natalie GeNtryThe City of Reno picked up

the gifts it received for the Toys for Tots program last week.

“I think this is great to see our community coming together during the holidays,” said Public Works Director Scott Passmore.

Mayor Lynda Stokes echoed Passmore’s sentiments.

“There has been such an out pouring from the community,” Stokes said. “Scott [Passmore] and other city employees have spearheaded these efforts and

have done so much work on their own time.

“I’m so grateful to the com-munity and the residents here. There has been such tremendous generosity shown by everyone,” she continued. “One lady called

and said ‘how much do you need, I’ll write the check,’ It’s just been amazing.”

Teachers at Reno Elementary gathered gifts for four children that were together on the Reno angel tree and the rest of the kids

have found guardian angels as well.

“There is so much more to a city than just the buildings and roads,” Stokes said. “It’s at times like these that we see the true meaning of ‘community.’”

Angels in waiting: Reno angel tree and Toys for Tots gifts arrive
