This Week in Azle History

40 Years AgoIn February 1975, a relay team of 40 basketball Hor-

nets dribbled a ball from AHS to Boswell High, covering the 12 miles in 1 hour, 20 minutes.

Frisbees and Jetpacks and Drums...Lots of Drums

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANMore seats for plays and programs

in the auditorium and additional room to roam at Hornet Field are on tap for Azle High School.

Since the AHS campus first opened in the 1990-91 school year, its audi-torium has only seen the most minor of updates, like the replacement of drapes and carpet.

As seats have become dilapidated, they’ve been used for parts to repair others in better shape, but now, the first few rows of seating are gone.

All these years later, it’s simply time for a major upgrade.

It looks like one may be coming in time for the 2015-2016 school year.

During the Jan. 5 meeting of the Board of Trustees for the Azle In-dependent School District, AISD Director of Operations Todd Smith explained the situation to board members and asked for their blessing to pursue bids for upgrades to the au-ditorium and to Hornet Field, as well.

Smith said earlier discussions had centered around a rehab of the audito-rium over the Christmas holiday.

“But there was just too much to be done – seating, carpeting, a water-damaged ceiling, and there is as-bestos in several areas in the ceiling and walls,” Smith told trustees. “To remove the asbestos, paint it, change out the lighting (the district already owns the new lights), install new seats and new flooring and move the

The great Oz came through!For three years, the Azle High

School Drama Department and Dra-ma Boosters have been raising money to purchase a new, professionally-built UIL Competition Grey Set and – thanks to the huge success of the drama department’s December pro-duction of The Wizard of Oz, that goal has finally been reached.

You may be asking: What is a “Grey Set?”

The so-called “Grey Set” is named

50 One shade of grey for AHS Drama Dept.for the color of the set pieces used in student competition performances during UIL One Act Plays.

One of the best kept secrets of high school live theater, the One-Act Play Contest is said to be the largest high school play production contest in the world with more than 14,000 Texas high school students competing in more than 1,000 plays across the state.

During the statewide competition, more than 200 college and university faculty members serve as critic judges

at regional, zone, and finally state lev-els.

All competing schools must utilize the exact same basic Grey Set pieces.

The individual pieces are modular allowing them to be arranged differ-ently for each show by each school.

AHS Drama Boosters President Randa Goode couldn’t be happier about being able to obtain this impor-tant piece of equipment for the AHS drama department.

“The drama students knew what our

goal was, but we kept it a secret and surprised them with the new Grey Set on Saturday, Jan. 24, just before the public performances of the Student Directed One-Act Plays,” Goode said.

“We (the Drama Boosters and Direc-tor Tia Moen) met Friday night with two trailers to move the pieces from Mrs. Moen’s garage (where she had kept it stored for about a week to hide it from the students) to the band hall where the directors allowed us to set it up in a place where drama students

would not see it until we revealed it.“The drama students were thrilled

with the new Grey Set since their old one was ‘homemade’ out of plywood by Mrs. Moen when she first start-ed teaching in Azle ten years ago,” Goode continued.

“This new professionally-built package has many new set pieces the department has never had access to, allowing them to expand its options in

Keeping Our Co� unity Healthy for more than a century. Since 1906.

Through booms and busts, rain and drought, since 1906 Baylor All Saints

Medical Center at Fort Worth has been here to meet the health care needs of

sound board to a wall will take more than two weeks.”

The sound board is being moved to a back wall so it will no longer block the view of people seated behind its current location, Smith elaborated.

Now, administrators are try-ing to get the pieces of the proj-ects lined up to be done as soon as school is out in early June, Smith said.

Brad Jones of Lone Star Furnishing was on hand to show off the choices for seat-ing for the auditorium, and those in attendance were treated to a discussion about the number of “double rubs” – that’s each time a person’s backside sits on a seat and gets up – the fabric on a seat can take.

A committee made up of fine arts staff and administrators from AHS took a long look at seating and came up with a fi-nal choice – one that can handle up to 250,000 “double-rubs” per seat.

The seating upgrade will also include some handicap seating.

The new configuration will give the auditorium roughly

the same number of seats it has currently.

The most expensive com-ponent of the upgrade, seats are anticipated to cost about $150,000.

Depending upon costs con-tained in proposals to make the auditorium asbestos-free – which were bid to include all fees as well as scaffolding – Smith projects the price tag for the auditorium rehab will be less than $300,000.

Even better, those funds will come from the district’s fund balance and will not utilize any bond funds.

Hornet Field upgradeSome upgrades are also

on tap at Hornet Field which should allow the crowds at football games and other events more room to roam as well as spruce up the overall look of the facility.

The planned upgrades in-clude a new ticket booth at the west end of the stadium, re-moval of all chain-link fencing, the addition of wrought-iron fencing with brick columns around the majority of the fa-cility and black vinyl-coated fencing in some areas, some type of bleacher screening, and

new counter space in the visi-tors concession stand.

While some of the improve-ments may seem cosmetic in nature, most address valid con-cerns.

“There is a significant po-tential drainage issue around the west ticket booth, and this gives us an opportunity to cor-rect that and avoid future prob-lems as well as giving it some new curb appeal,” Smith told Trustees. “Our engineers are very concerned about the pos-sibility of flooding near that ticket booth if we should get a 100-year flood.”

Likewise, replacing the exist-ing chain-link fencing provides an opportunity to move the fence almost out to the street, thereby enlarging the area pa-trons and students have to gath-er, visit, and navigate under the bleachers.

Initial discussions with the district’s engineer indicated the cost for the noted upgrades might be half what administra-tors first thought.

Costs for the stadium rehab is

projected at about $400,000. Those funds, like the au-

ditorium rehab money, will come from fund balance, Smith said.

On a motion by Vice Presi-dent Erik Loeffelholz, second-ed by Trustee Tim Brown, the board voted unanimously to au-thorize district officials to pur-sue bids to complete upgrades to both the auditorium and Hor-net Field and report back with their findings.

This is a projected vision of the future westside ticket booth at Hornet Field. Other planned alterations move fencing to allow patrons more room inside.

set design during competition performances.

“Additionally the new pieces weigh just a third as much as the old pieces do – so moving them on and off stage by the students is easier, quicker, and safer.”

Larry Gantt, booster mem-ber and volunteer technical di-

rector commented, “It’s great to finally have all the set pieces to utilize in our competitions with other area schools. Frank-

ly, we really needed to replace the old set pieces several years ago.”

AHS drama students got an

added bonus in that they started using the new Grey Set during auditions for the 2015 UIL One Act Play held Jan. 26-27.

Officers with the Azle Police Department arrested the fol-lowing individuals during the two-week period from Jan. 18-31:

Michael Wagner, 30, of Rhome, was arrested Jan. 31 and charged with driving while intoxicated with a child passen-ger as well as for causing an ac-cident with injuries and causing an accident with damage.

According to two separate accident reports filed by Azle police, Wagner, with a 2-year-old child passenger, was at the wheel of a gold 2004 Toyota Corolla as he approached the signal light at the intersection of North Stewart Street and Northwest Parkway (west end of Stewart Street bridge near Taco Bell).

Two other vehicles were al-ready stopped at that signal light.

According to the first re-port, Wagner failed to reduce his speed and come to a stop, striking the rear of a maroon 2001 Honda Civic driven by Crystal Lyn Hazelhurst, 25, of Azle and pushing her vehicle into the rear of the vehicle in front of her, a red 2002 Hyun-

dai Genesis Coupe driven by Stacy Robin Breighner, 35, of Springtown.

But Wagner fled the scene of the accident and continued across the bridge, disregarding the stop light at the east end of the bridge.

At that intersection, he struck a silver 2000 Chevrolet Cama-ro driven by 18-year-old Chase Frechette of Azle.

Wagner fled the scene of the second crash, as well; however, Azle police officers located about two blocks away in the 300 block of Northwest Park-way apprehended him.

Wagner was held in the Azle jail Feb. 3 in lieu of $28,000 bond – $20,000 for the DWI charge, $5,000 for the accident with injury charge and $3,000 for the accident with damage charge.

Other arrests• Teresa Kay Davidson, 52,

of Azle, was arrested Jan. 19 in the 100 block of Shady Lane and charged with driving while intoxicated (DWI) with a blood alcohol concentration of 0.15 or greater. Davidson posted $5,000 bond and was released

from the Azle jail Jan. 20.• Britany Marie Peay, 29,

of Azle, was arrested Jan. 31 in the 400 block of Northwest Parkway and charged with DWI. She posted $4,000 bond and was released from the Azle jail later the same day.

• A 41-year-old Azle wom-an was arrested Jan. 20 in the 700 block of Boyd Road and charged with theft $50-500. She posted $500 bond and was released from the Azle jail Jan. 21.

• A 29-year-old Azle wom-an was arrested Jan. 25 in the 700 block of Boyd Road and charged with theft $50-500. She was transferred to the Parker County jail, where she posted $1,500 bond and was re-leased Jan. 30.

Other activityAzle police arrested 13 in-

dividuals who were subject to outstanding warrants issued by various law enforcement agen-cies during the period. They also issued one citation for pos-session of drug paraphernalia.

Azle officers investigated a total of 14 traffic accidents dur-ing the period.

BY MARK K. CAMPBELLGot mole woes? Snake troubles?Fungus funk?Justin Berg, an owner at

Xtreme Lawn Care, told Rotary Club members Jan. 28 that those pesky pests can be taken care of.

Berg, who sold his successful business in Boston and relocat-ed to Azle bringing his parents and in-laws along with his own family, said there are remedies for all yard critters.

When he joined Xtreme Lawn Care four years ago, Berg took charge of the financial and expansion sides of the business and it has ballooned from 250 customers to 2,500.

Xtreme handles all facets of lawn care, including tree care and irrigation services, he said.

But the crowd at Rotary had

Pesky pests: Rotary speaker gives hints to rid yards of critters, disease

different sorts of questions for Berg – critter queries.

Like: How do you get rid of moles? One key, Berg said, is to dispatch the food source – grubs.

Doing so will send the blind critters – which are not rodents but members of the shrew fam-ily – off another direction for food.

To rid your yard of those tasty grubs, Xtreme offers a potent one-time application annually.

It's more powerful than any concoction offered at Home Depot or Lowe's, Berg said.

When no June bug grubs are around, moles head to wher-ever they can be found – which just might be your neighbors' yards, Berg chuckled.

That de-grub application has a specific time frame: late May to early June, he said.

Another method of ridding yourself of moles is to use poi-soned earthworms, he said.

Since moles – which can tun-nel up to 100 feet daily – won't enter previously dug tunnels,

the critters are kept at bay.Berg was quick to say that

earthworms are beneficial: “Grubs bad, earthworms, good,” he said.

Killing grubs will also thwart armadillos, too, Berg said, an-swering another query. ‘Dillos will move elsewhere to find food.

When someone questioned what to do about snakes, Berg said yard cleanliness was the best method.

“They like cover and will go somewhere else if your yard is clean,” he said.

Underground gophers are tougher to get rid of. Berg rec-ommended trapping and re-moving.

Grass fungus is also problem-atic around here, he said, add-ing that the recent drought has actually helped in that regard

because it has kept yard owners from watering too often.

Berg said it's better to water twice weekly for 20 minutes or so at a time than for five min-utes daily.

Initially in that 20 minute stretch, there might be some water runoff; however, eventu-ally the water will break down the hard topsoil and filter down to the roots.

“Watering longer is better than more often,” he said.

Fungus is caused by overwa-tering – especially with St. Au-gustine, Berg said.

He warned that watering at night was especially something that would grow a fungus.

The best time for watering is between 3 and 5 a.m., he said.

“All watering should be through by 9,” Berg noted. After that, evaporation takes its toll.

He said Bermuda grass is “tough” and has far less trouble with fungus than St. Augustine.Justin Berg, an owner of

Xtreme Lawn Care, gave Rotary Club members tips on controlling invasive yard critters and diseases.

OPINION

In recent years, I have written columns about the sad plight of wild horses in the West.

I first learned about them in 2012 at a Western History As-sociation convention in Den-

ver when I heard about Velma John-son who saw the mustangs starving and feared they would become extinct. Known as Wild Horse Annie, she lob-bied for better legislation.

Recently, by accident, I discovered another Westerner who has taken up the same mission. Dayton O. Hyde wrote his life story as an early 20th century cowboy on his uncle's ranch and became interested as well.

Let me tell about him first before I relate his connection to the wild hors-es. Hyde, called Hawk by friends, ran away from his home in Marquette, Michigan at age thirteen to keep from being punished.

His crime, an embarrassing one, was relieving himself from the high branches of a tree where he had been bird watching for hours, especially waiting for a robin to build a nest. Un-fortunately, his mother and her bridge

ladies were walking under the tree at the time and all got sprayed. (One wonders if he wasn't just pulling his readers' legs by telling this story!)

Anyway, the young Hyde hopped a freight train that very day going west and ended up at an uncommunicative uncle’s ranch in Oregon. In the 1930s ranching still was performed the old way, on horseback. When time came to cut the hay for sustenance for the cattle during the winter, the uncle hired Indians from the Klamath Falls reservation as temporary help.

Young Hyde, named Dayton after the uncle to whom he fled (Dayton Williams, his mother's brother), grew into a skinny 6'5" kid by the time he was 16-years-old. While young Day-ton lived in the ranch house with his bachelor uncle, he sometimes stayed in the bunkhouse with the cowboys after long hours of work.

During the school year, the uncle sent him off to a boarding school in California, but he came home for holi-days and during summers.

The ranch, called Yamsi after a mountain nearby, began to lose all

its workers as World War II approached. At age 17 Dayton was too young to join up, but he became overworked on the ranch with most of the cowboys gone. His uncle went south to Cali-fornia during winter months, leaving young Hyde to run the ranch with what little help he

could find. He had left school by then.One recreation that youngsters in the

area enjoyed was going to rodeos on weekends. His heroes were the bronc riders of the day. He tried his luck, but didn't do very well, so he began pho-tographing rides. Hoofs and Horns, a rodeo magazine, accepted some of his photos.

In 1944 Hyde joined the Signal Corps.

During his training he still had some spare time to go to rodeos, and even to ride, with his army buddies cheering him on. Later in England he served with General George Patton’s Third Army, which fought through France, Belgium, and Germany, helping set up signal communications as the army moved.

When he returned to the ranch af-ter the war, much had changed. Locals left Oregon for high-paying jobs, and some ranchers sold out. Beginning in 1947 he attended the University of California at Berkeley and visited ro-deos on weekends.

Continuing with photography, he met most of the famous bronc riders of the day, including a rodeo clown named Slim Pickens who later became an actor in Western movies. They be-came lifelong friends.

Hyde gave up the rodeo to stay on the ranch in the 1950s and run it alone after buying it from his uncle before the uncle’s death. During the long winters, Hyde wrote books about the West, children's books, non-fiction, fiction, and his memoir, entitled The Pastures of Beyond.

In 1988 he saw some wild horses in a feed lot and felt sorry for them. He had first viewed some as a 14-year-old near the Yamsi Ranch. Consequently, Hyde became an advocate for the wild mustangs and has been honored with many awards for his efforts. He found an 11,000 acre piece of land in the Black Hills of South Dakota and had the Nevada horses brought there.

At the time of the writing of his memoir, Hyde was running the Black Hills Wild Horse Sanctuary and liv-ing near it in a little prairie house. The Institute of Range and the Ameri-can Mustang bought the property and manages an endowment created for the sanctuary so that the wild horses will always have a permanent home.

I found it gratifying that, although my interest in purchasing Hyde's book was solely to find a good story about a Western cowboy for my column, I learned of an educated man of letters and a conservationist hero, a rescuer of wild horses.

20th century cowboy tells life story, saves wild horses

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.

Some things are easy to say when they are hypotheti-cal.

It is easy to say, “Ev-erything is going to be fine,” when it is currently.

It’s easy to say, “I trust God,” when things are going smoothly.

It’s easy to say, “It’s not a problem; it’s only a situation,” (see last week’s post) when you are not in the middle of it.

But when the “situation” happens, it can easily seem like a problem!

Last night, I plugged in my iPhone for the lat-est software update. Next thing I knew, I got a mes-sage that my phone could not be updated, it would have to be “restored.”

Restoration is good, right? If you know any-thing about the technology, you know that “restored” means that it is reset to “factory settings.”

Hey, that’s like a new phone! Cool! Not cool! My iPhone 4S, pur-chased in 2012, when it was on sale after the release of the iPhone 5, DID NOT COME FROM THE FACTORY WITH ALL MY STUFF ON IT!

So, mister column writing smarty pants, is that just a “situation” or is it a problem?

I must confess that for the past few hours, I’ve really treated it like a prob-lem. I’ve stressed over lost messages and photos (knowing that back-ups exist SOMEWHERE, but not exactly sure where). My attention has been on my phone instead of on today’s goals. And then, God gently reminded me that what I said in the afterglow of a vacation in paradise really is true when the “situation” happens in the real world.

The phone situation really isn’t earth shattering. It is a situation that I will deal with at some point today. I’ll find whatever backups I can and will move on. But what about situations that may be earth shattering?

I got a message from a friend who told me about getting a phone call concerning a medical emergency with his toddler son. I am being intention-

ally vague because I have not asked his permission to share the specifics. Dad was on the road when the call came.

He had recently been proclaiming his trust in God as his refuge. With that phone call came the test of whether he really believed what he said. The message he sent me was his testimony about how God met him in his “situ-ation.”

On one occasion, Je-sus was approached by a

man who asked for help with a situa-tion with his son. Jesus told him, “All things are possible to him who be-lieves.” Immediately the boy's father cried out and said, “I do believe; help my unbelief.” (Mark 9:23-24)

What a great prayer of faith. My paraphrase, “I believe you. I want to believe you completely. Meet me where my belief falls short and car-ry me the rest of the way with your grace.”

Our lives matter so much to God that He will meet us right in the mid-dle of our “situations.”

And His “restoration” is amazing.

Did you really mean what you said?

ON YOURMARK

Mark K. CampbellMark K. Campbell is the News editor and Braum’s

messed up his ice cream order that day, too.

Letter to the editor

Dear Editor:About Speaker of the House John

Boehner and President Obama and his administration concerning a breach in protocol with Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s speaking en-gagement:

On March 15, he was there to tell the U.S. that Iran has secured an atom-ic bomb.

A kerfuffle – without merit and dis-ingenuous – was made that the White House did not give permission for Ne-

tanyahu to speak.If inviting our closest ally – the

Prime Minister of Israel – to give ad-vice on security measures that helps keep America safe from an apocalyp-tic end by a pirate nation...well, Mr. Boehner can invite the Man in the Moon for all I care.

Who is Mr. Obama to lecture any-one on protocol and mandates on permission in speeches by foreign leaders, let alone the Speaker of the House?

It’s on the record that Mr. Obama invited Netanyahu March 26, 2010 to the White House for talks about nuclear disarmament of Iran. Then the president snubbed Mr. Netanyahu by leaving him alone while Mr. Obama

went to eat dinner.Mr. Obama might want to educate

himself on simple high school civ-ics; both the Executive Branch and Congress have overlapping author-ity and are co-equals in foreign af-fairs. The speaker is next in line to the president if the vice-president is incapacitated.

But, then again, let’s give the presi-dent some slack as he apparently failed fifth grade geography, too. As he proclaimed in 2008: Our country has 57 states.

Any fifth grader can set the record straight for our president – we have 50 states. Joseph L. Bryan Fort Worth

What’s protocol when it comes to our nation’s safety?

Once upon a time, a hamburger was made of just ground beef, American cheese, and various and sundry vegetables.

You could get a bagful of them from Griff’s for a dollar.

Sadly, neither of those are true any-more. In fact, recently it took a lot of dollars for just one burger.

The Bride and I stopped by a snazzy new restaurant just off the Weather-ford Square. It houses a car museum, including an old LBJ vehicle.

You know going in that this place ain’t cheap – the prices are posted right up front. (Which sent a few din-

ers scurrying back toward their Rea-gan-era Ford pickups.)

Hamburgers at the car museum are far more than just beef and cheese and pickles. Plus one costs $14. That is correct – $14, in Weatherford, Texas not New York City. For one.

As society has begun insisting on topping burgers with quail eggs and foreign peppers, the catch for my lunch was Angus beef combined with barbecue.

That sounded great, and, after all, you only live once, so I ordered it.

I’m not a hillbilly so fine dining is not unknown to me. I have eaten at the top of the two-story Whataburger in Corpus Christi so I’ve been around.

At the Wea ther fo rd e s t a b l i s h -ment, there is a “chef” – al-ways a red flag. But, if you’re buying a $14 h a m b u r g e r , you want it to come with some panache.

Eventually, the burger ar-rived; you can’t hurry that sort of thing. I

dared to alter the established design

of the food. I had asked for no onions since they kill me.

The burger looked great. I took a big bite. Now, one thing about gourmet food: Apparently actually cooking it masks the flavor. This concoction was freakishly rare.

I sent it back. That’s right! I sent it back! “Chef, please let the grill actu-ally touch the meat this time.”

Lots more time passed. The Bride got up and went to look at all the groovy cars.

The burger returned along with heartfelt apologies from the waitress. Once again, it looked fantastic.

Checking this time for its redness, it appeared to be perfect. However, there

was an even bigger problem this time: onions.

Even though they are wonderfully caramelized and are apparently organ-ic and free-range, they are still onions, Satan’s vegetable.

I spent 10 minutes picking them out. It took a while; they had melded with the cheddar cheese and bacon.

Eventually, I ate that $14 burger. And it was pretty good – maybe not $14 good, but decent.

But I missed some onions so it end-ed up being a two Gas-X burger.

I miss Griff’s – $1, zero Gas-X.

Wednesday, February 4, 2015 Azle News OPINION 7A

On Jan. 28 the main work of the Texas Leg-islature started when the state budget-writing

Senate Finance Committee met at the Capitol.

Financial figures for the com-mittee to use as a guide come from the 10-member Legisla-tive Budget Board, a perma-nent joint committee of the House and Senate that devel-ops budget and policy recom-mendations for appropriations, completes fiscal analyses for proposed legislation and con-ducts evaluations and reviews to improve the efficiency and performance of state and local operations.

In its budget estimate, the Legislative Budget Board rec-ommends a $205 billion state budget for the 2016-2017 fis-cal biennium. The current 2014-2015 budget is estimated at $202 billion. The biggest chunks of the 2016-2017 rec-ommended budget are $77.5

billion for education, $75 bil-lion for health and human services and $30 billion for business and economic devel-opment.

As set forth in state law, the 10-member “LBB” is co-chaired by the lieutenant gov-ernor, who presides over the Senate, and the speaker of the House, and includes the chair of the Senate Finance Committee, the chair of the House Appro-priations Committee; the chair of the House Ways and Means Committee; three members of the Senate appointed by the lieutenant governor; and two other members of the House appointed by the speaker. As of Feb. 1, the chairs and lists of members of House committees had not been named.

Sen. Jane Nelson, the first woman in the history of the Legislature to chair a stand-ing budget-writing commit-tee, was appointed by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick to preside over the 15-member panel. Nelson, R-Grapevine, said Senate Bill 2

would be a “re-s p o n s i -ble” bud-get and she en-couraged c o m -m i t t e e members to voice their in-dividual p r i o r i -ties dur-ing the budge t -w r i t i n g

process. She also said the panel would spend a week on tax-relief bills.

New governor’s work beginsIn the days following his

inauguration on Jan. 20, Gov. Greg Abbott set right to work.

On Jan. 21, “to prevent, de-tect and investigate fraud, abuse and waste” he named Stuart W. Bowen Jr. as inspector general for the Texas Health and Hu-

man Services Commission. On Jan. 22, he submitted to

the Texas Senate for approval Cameron County Judge Carlos Cascos as Secretary of State, Jerry Strickland as chief of the Office of State-Federal Rela-tions and David Mattax for re-appointment as commissioner of the Texas Department of Insurance. He also named ap-pointees to the University of Texas System, Texas A&M University and Texas Tech Uni-versity boards of regents.

On Jan. 23, he set Feb. 17 as the date of special runoff elec-tions for Senate District 26 and House Districts 17 and 123. He also traveled to Edinburg to speak and be present for the announcement of a nearly $3 million grant to the Univer-sity of Texas Rio Grande Val-ley School of Medicine grant by United Health Foundation. The medical school is to open in 2016.

On Jan. 27, he released a statement in defense of for-mer governor Rick Perry, who

is facing felony charges re-lated to his vetoing the budget of the state’s Public Integrity Unit when the head of the unit ignored his demand for her resignation after she had been arrested for drunken driving. Abbott said, “The Texas gover-nor is endowed by our constitu-tion with the authority to veto legislation, and it is outrageous and inappropriate that a gov-ernor would be prosecuted for exercising that authority.”

On Jan. 28, in a letter to all state agency heads, he called for higher standards in the state’s contracting and procure-ment process, including spe-cific reforms aimed at restoring the public trust in the contract-ing process.

This comes in the wake of a series of investigative stories by the Austin American-States-man detailing a multi-million dollar no-bid contract between the Health and Human Ser-vices Commission and an in-formation technology security firm.

On Jan. 29, he proposed to eliminate the Texas Emerging Technology Fund and establish the New University Research Initiative “to make meaningful and effective investments in job creation.”

roneously reported Sen. Craig Estes, R-Wichita Falls, as hav-ing voted against a proposed Senate rule change in floor procedure, allowing a three-fifths majority of the 31-mem-ber body (19 senators) to bring a bill to the floor for debate, rather than the traditional two-thirds, or 21 senators.

Estes was present but did not vote on the rule change.

I regret the error. The rule change was adopted on a vote of 20-10.

Letter

Islam Stock Show prayer just more P.C.

It is maddening to see that venerable institution – the Fort Worth Stock Show – fall into the snare of political correct-ness.

Allow an Iman to offer a prayer before the rodeo is like opening Pandora’s box.

“Playing nice” with Islam never kept anybody from be-ing beheaded once the terrorists took over.

They even murder other Muslims who don’t agree with them.

The benevolent intentions of those who are “inclusive” doesn’t mean anything to the beheaders.

Escaping political correct-ness such as this is one of the reasons my husband and I moved from Fort Worth to the country.

Next, the B edged Wayside 19-17, rallying from a “sluggish start,” coaches recalled.

Vivian Buendia hit the game-winning shot in the final seconds.

The 7th A won 29-20 over High-land.

Bench play helped beat “a really tall” Highland squad, coaches said.

Then, the A popped Wayside 25-21, working back into the game, said coaches.

The 7th B defeated Highland

Next, a “tough” 17-15 loss to Wayside followed.

Azle wrestlers ready for district tournament at Chisholm Trail

Third at State

Representing the Azle Wrestling Club, two young ath-letes finished third at state in Austin: Danny Laver (left) and Barrett Gilbreath. Coach Justin Berg said several other Azle athletes “wrestled well but fell just short of the medal rounds.”

By mARk k. CAmpBeLLEven with young squads,

Azle High School wrestling coach Chris Allen thinks his athletes will shine at the district meet.

That event is set for Saturday, Feb. 7 at 10 a.m. at Chisholm Trail High School.

Allen said the coaches’ goals are simple – win the 5-5A team championships.

Seven Lady Hornets will rep-resent the girls team.

Allen said a trio of girls have legitimate shots at individual titles.

Veteran Ruby Ariosa (112 pounds), Hali Davis (110), and Lauren Dale (138) can win dis-trict crowns “if they wrestle to their abilities,” Allen said.

He added, “I am looking for big things from freshman Hol-lie Taylor and Alexis Hanna.

“I would like to see them place and compete at region-als.”

A Hornet will fill all 14 weight classes at district.

Not only does Allen hope to see Azle’s boys come away as team champions, the coach said he thinks as many as 12 Hor-nets could move on to the re-gional event in Frisco Feb. 13.

Five seniors should advance, Allen said: Jimmy Fager (113), Colten Clearwater (152), Tyler Stewart (170), Marshall Gil-breath (195), and Justin Scar-bro (285).

“We are pretty young minus the seniors,” Allen said. “But due to their experience, there is no reason they cannot compete for individual titles as well.”

With upper classman Hayden Buchanan (138), Coach Allen said he expected “big things” from underclassmen James Conrique (126), Skylar Russell (132), Cody Donnell (160), and Seth Bell (182).

Two rookie freshmen could also help reach that team title: Ty Parker and Shawn Joseph, Allen said.

State returns to its current site in Garland Feb. 20.

by mARK K. CAmpbellThe playoffs are looming

for the Lady Hornet basketball team.

Azle (22-3, 9-2) kept its No. 16 ranking in the Texas Asso-ciation of Basketball Coaches poll after beating two more 5-5A foes.

AHS took down Wichita Falls and Chisholm Trail – two teams desperately scrambling for the remaining postseason berths.

At home against Old High Jan. 27, the Lady Hornets built a 26-18 halftime lead and went on to win 45-33.

Taylor Fulfer led with 13 points; Payton Berger added 10 and Valarie Matlock netted 8 points.

Kylee Browne’s 7 rebounds was tops as was 5 assists by Kaycie Dunkerley.

Three days later, Azle faced Chisholm Trail in Saginaw.

With three impressive quar-ters – 19, 15, and 20 – and a de-fense that limited Lady Rangers scoring, AHS won easily 56-26.

Three players reached double digits for Azle: Matlock (15), Berger (12), and Dunkerley (11).

Makeni Bossert added 9 points and tied in rebounds with Matlock with 6.

Chisholm Trail did not reach double digits in scoring until the third quarter.

Azle hosted Denton Feb. 3 (score not available at press time).

After a trip to White Settle-ment to face Brewer Feb. 6, the regular season ends with a bang when, on Senior Night, the Lady Hornets tangle with the likely 5-5A champion Wichita Falls Rider Feb. 10.

Lady Hornets split district openers

The Hornet varsity basketball squad began second round of 5-5A play with a pair of losses.

Wichita Falls came to Azle Jan. 27 and toppled AHS 61-41.

The game was within reach at halftime; Old High led just 27-22.

Shooting woes again trou-bled the Hornets as Azle shot just 28 percent from the field and 12 from beyond the arc.

Trevor Boiles’ 12 points led the way for AHS.

Bowen Moyer added 8 and his 7 rebounds was team-high.

Brandon Martinez scored 6 points while Jamie King netted 5 to begin the second round of

5-5A action.Azle’s lone district victory

came over Chisholm Trail back on Jan. 6.

This time, AHS coach Eddy Prather said, the Rangers “got a little revenge.”

At the CHHS gym, the hosts beat the Hornets 80-42.

King rose to the occasion for Azle, scoring a team-high 17 points, making 7 of AHS’ 13 successful free throws. He also led the squad with 4 blocks and 6 rebounds.

Moyer netted 7 and Boiles 5 points. Cole Maxfield and Trey Ramos scored 3 points apiece.

Chisholm Trail fell to the JV Lady Hornets 44-35 as Azle used a 13-0 third quarter ad-vantage to overcome a 24-16 halftime deficit.

Cassidy Bowen and Sydnee Stanley paced the AHS JV with 9 points each. Cannon got 8.

The girls 9th beat Wichita Falls 68-40 as Savannah Johnson

poured in 20 points. Macey Hicks netted 11, Autumn Johnson 10, and Maria Parkison 9 points.

In a 54-31 loss to Chisholm Trail, Autumn Johnson’s 17 points was high for AHS. Sa-vannah Johnson scored 14.

On Feb. 10, AHS scrim-mages at Burleson Centen-nial at 4:30 p.m.

Even with a pair of top play-ers out – one for the season – the Azle High School boys soc-cer team remained undefeated and is in control of the district race early.

Azle (10-0, 2-0) swept Bo-swell and Saginaw in District 5-5A action.

The Lady Hornets, mean-while, began the crucial match-es 1-1.

The boys, without standout Dylan Tritton who is out for the season with a torn ACL, crushed Boswell 4-0 and Sagi-naw 3-0.

At the Pioneer pitch, Azle got two scores and an assist from Josa Gomez. Pepe Ballesteros also booted a pair of balls past the Boswell keeper.

Javier Mejia was credited with two assists and Nathan Mejia one.

Hornet goal tender Austin McCash continued his remark-able season with two more shutouts.

At home against Saginaw Jan. 30, Alex Quevedo, Javier Mejia, and Gomez scored.

Ballesteros got an assist.Coach Ben Buentello said

moving forward without two top players – another has a sub-stantial concussion – is testy.

“But we are doing our best, and the others are rising to the occasion,” the coach said.

The Lady Hornets beat Bo-swell 1-0 thanks to an “unbe-lievable” second half, coach Jason Beck said.

With less than 4 minutes left, Paige Freeman scored off a Meagan McNew corner kick.

“The team stayed strong,” Beck said.

Saginaw topped AHS 2-0.

... on a scale of 1-106

Movie Man10A Azle News Wednesday, February 4, 2015

You gotta give Kevin Cost-ner credit: He’s really hawking Black or White.

With millions of his own money invested – 9 – the actor is making the rounds to pro-mote his latest venture.

Even though it’s been a while since Costner’s had a hit, he’s still got clout.

About the filmOnce upon a time, there was

not greater movie star than Kevin Costner.

The 66 year old – playing a grandfather for the first time in Black or White – has a ter-rific resume. For sure, The Untouchables (1987), No Way Out (1987), Field of Dreams (1989), and JFK (1991) are fantastic movies. And, no mat-ter what film snobs say, Dances With Wolves (1990) is, too.

(Whenever a list is made of movies that won Best Pic-ture Oscars – robbing another “more deserving” movie – Dances With Wolves pops up. It beat out Goodfellas which is an admitted classic, but the Movie Man is just fine with Dances With Wolves. Costner also beat out Goodfellas director Martin Scorsese which some [not the Movie Man] consider an even greater horror.)

However, Costner has been in a huge series of movies late-ly that few people are seeing.

Only true fans have paid for Play it to the Bone (1999), 3000 Miles to Graceland (2001), Mr. Brooks (2007), or last year’s 3 Days to Kill and Draft Day.

That’s not to say he hasn’t earned some acclaim recently, even if it’s not as stratospheric as a few decades ago.

He was lauded for the TV mini-series Hatfields & Mc-Coys (2012), and the Movie Man thought he had the “Best scene” in the 2013 Superman reboot Man of Steel (Movie Man No. 1040, a 7).

The Movie Man is not a Costner hata – in fact, it’s the opposite. Still, the last picture the Movie Man saw with Cost-

ner – excluding small or cameo parts – was way back in 2003, Open Range (MM #521, 7).

Today, Costner is getting good reviews, deservedly, for Black or White.

The plotElliot (Costner) has had some

tough times. His daughter died in childbirth and now his wife has been killed in an auto ac-cident.

The only thing he has left is a granddaughter, Eloise (Tex-an Jillian Estell). She’s mixed race. The mother of Eloise’s drug-addled father, Rowena (Octavia Spencer), wants to see her granddaughter more often.

Elliot isn’t crazy about that. Rowena’s brother, Jeremiah (Anthony Mackie) is a lawyer – so is Elliot – and Jeremiah sues Elliot for full custody of Eloise for Rowena.

There are problems on both sides. Elliot is a heavy drinker. Rowena blindly believes her drug addicted son Reggie (An-dre Holland) is now clean and ready to be a father to Eloise.

While Elliot tries to sober up – learning a new language in lieu of drinking thanks to Elo-ise’s tutor Duvan (Mpho Ko-aho) – Holland gets coaching to make him look like a relatively decent human being.

eventually makes the custody decision – but not before a sub-stantial confrontation that turns physical.

What worksCostner is pretty good here.

There are one or two scenes that don’t work (he’s a movie stereotypical “staggering” drunk), but, overall, he’s very solid. (See Best scene).

Spencer is always fun to watch, but her character is re-ally never set free, so she’s hard to root for. However, she com-mands the screen, and, when she and Costner are together up there, things click.

The other standout is Koaho who has a tough time on the stand when it comes to address-

ing Costner’s drinking issues.Also strong is Paula New-

some as the judge. She won’t put up with Spencer’s court-room shenanigans and earns the movie’s biggest laughs with just some stern looks fired the grandmother’s way.

Director Mike Bender pegs the differences between the two cultures carefully, i.e., white bread Costner listens to Billy Joel and reads Larry Mc-Murtry – not exactly hot artists in the hood.

Best sceneElliot is on the stand. He

makes an impassioned plea, es-pecially addressing if he’s used the N-word referring to Reggie. (Elliot has.)

He tries to express that he could care less that Reggie is black; the problem is that he’s a druggie who should not be around the little girl.

It’s a potent scene that tries to get past the race issue by ad-dressing it – and it illustrates how hard it is to escape from racial stereotyping.

What doesn’t workWhile Estell looks cute as

Eloise, she’s not a great actor. A stronger young actor in the role would’ve helped Black or White a lot.

A few scenes in the movie just don’t ring true. They are very “actor-y” with dialogue that just isn’t genuine.

Subplots with lawyers and forgotten names fail, and, while a running joke with Koaho fi-nally pays off, it takes a long time to get there.

Finally, this movie is not near-

ly as funny as it purports to be in previews. There are very few chuckles to be had and culture clashes provide none of them.

The ratingThere’s some drug stuff here

and an f-bomb; the movie was originally rated R before get-ting retooled. It’s an OK PG-13.

Summing upWhile we are in a time in

the U.S. rife with racial issues, Black or White feels like a Dis-ney effort or a Lifetime movie.

It has little bite – too bad.

In February 2009, the AHS boys’ basketball team earned Azle’s first district hoops title since 1997 with a 76-38 win over Springtown. John Derr led scorers with 32 points.

This Week in Azle History

5 Years Ago

by carla noah stutsmanFire destroyed a vacant home in the

200 block of Shoreline Drive South in the early morning hours of Monday, Feb. 10.

A neighbor called 911 at 12:12 a.m. to report the fire, and the first truck arrived eight minutes later, Azle Fire Chief Will Scott said.

“The original call said it was un-known if there were any occupants in the house, but we were able to deter-mine later that no one was inside at the time of the fire,” Scott said.

It’s a good thing.When firefighters arrived, the home

was fully involved with heavy fire, so their only option was to set up a defen-sive attack.

It turns out recent occupants of the home had been asked to move out by the home’s owners. Fire Marshal Ken-ny Wilson said those occupants had been gone little more than a week.

Firefighters from Lake Worth FD, Eagle Mountain VFD and LaJunta VFD answered the call to assist with manpower and apparatus.

Azle Fire Department utilized its engine, ambulance, and rescue trucks

as well as their crews. Parker County’s LifeCare Medic 3 stood by to provide for any medical needs, and Parker County Emergency Services District 1 Chief Eric Vinson also answered the call.

Scott, Wilson, and Azle Emergency Services Administrator, Eddy Wood rounded out the command team.

Scott said firefighters battled the fire in 34-degree temperatures with 5-10 mile-per-hour winds and a steady mist falling.

The fire was under control at 1:33 a.m. and firefighters cleared the scene at 4:14 a.m., Scott said.

Wilson and a team of fire investiga-tors continue to look into the cause of the fire, but on Feb. 11, he said it ap-pears to be electrical in nature.

“We see some evidence that some-one had ‘jumped’ the electrical ser-vice at the home, possibly in an effort to steal electricity (by bypassing the meter),” Wilson said. “We’re still in-vestigating, but right now, it looks like that’s going to be the cause.”

Wilson said the home is a total loss and estimated the damages to be about $70,000.

by carla noah stutsmanEven though it’s now been three

weeks since the U.S. Geological So-ciety (USGS) has reported an earth-quake in the Azle/Reno area, re-searchers from Southern Methodist University (SMU) say seismic activity continues here.

Heather DeShon, associate profes-sor of geophysics at SMU and the lead researcher on the Azle area study says a network of sensors has detected nu-merous small quakes – too small to report to USGS.

Still, that seismic activity provides data for the study and can be use-ful to scientists trying to determine whether there’s a link between the re-cent swarm of 30-plus earthquakes in the area and the wastewater injection wells located nearby, DeShon said.

The only catch is that it could be a year or even two before researchers collect enough data, decipher it, and publish the findings.

The SMU research team unveiled a website containing information about the study which can be viewed at http://smu.edu/smunews/earth-quakestudy/study-faqs.asp#top.

The main page text is the summary of the goals for the research, and the FAQs provide answers to individual questions.

The SMU website provides links to the U.S. Geological Survey Earth-quake Education web page and the Texas Earthquakes web page sup-ported by the University of Texas at Austin.

Additionally, SMU has purchased an Incorporated Research Institutions

for Seismology (IRIS) Active Earth Monitor, which is a customizable computer-based earth science display designed for schools, libraries, etc.

The system provides an interactive way to learn about earthquakes.

The SMU research team is design-ing a Reno-Azle-specific module for this system and plans to place the sys-

tem in a public area in the Reno-Azle area as soon it is delivered in March or April.

In the meantime, Commissioners and staff at the Railroad Commis-sion of Texas say they are still in the process of interviewing candidates for the position of in-house seismol-ogist.

Last year, the Azle Independent School District’s (AISD) Board of Trustees voted to allow open enroll-ment – a policy that allows students who live outside the district’s bound-aries to enroll in AISD schools.

It’s a policy that has already paid off in a big way, according to Superinten-dent Dr. Ray Lea.

Students wishing to attend AISD schools must meet strict academic, disciplinary and attendance criteria in order to qualify, and are only accepted on a space-available basis.

Currently, 123 out-of-district trans-fer students attend AISD schools. These students generate an additional $870,000 in state funding for the dis-trict.

This boost in funding has been used to purchase technology throughout the district.

In the very near future, Lea said,

Azle ISD will provide an iPad for ev-ery student in grades pre-kindergarten through 12. The district already pro-vides iPads to all students in grades 7-12. Azle will be one of the first dis-tricts in Texas to reach this one-to-one iPad goal.

The additional state funding from student transfers went a long way to reach this goal, Lea said.

“All these transfer students actu-ally reside in other school attendance zones, yet their parents choose to transport them to Azle ISD because of a reputation of outstanding teach-ers and caring staff members,” Lea said. “Parents have cited their prefer-ence for a school with exemplary aca-demics and technology as reasons for choosing Azle.”

Azle ISD continues to receive re-quests to transfer from parents, Lea added.

by carla noah stutsmanThe cities of Azle and Pelican Bay,

the town of Lakeside and the Azle Independent School District (AISD) are each prepared to hold elections on May 10.

The earliest day to file an appli-cation for a place on the ballot was

Wednesday, Jan. 29. The last day is Friday, Feb. 28.

The final day a candidate may with-draw from the election is March 5.

In cases where each candidate with-in a municipality or school district is running unopposed, the entity has the option to choose to cancel the general

election and declare each candidate elected.

It’s an opportunity that can save a city, town or school district some sizeable change. With less than three weeks remaining in the filing period, it’s beginning to look like the AISD, the city of Azle and the town of Lake-

side could get that opportunity.

City of AzleAll three incumbents signed up ear-

ly to defend their seats on Azle’s city council.

Dr. William Chambers in Place 1, David McClure in Place 2, and Rouel

Rothenberger in Place 5 each applied for a place on the ballot during the first week of the filing period.

According to City Secretary Nor-ma Zenk, no one has yet filed to run against any of the incumbents.

Many races uncontested as filing continues in general elections

Four people were taken to texas health azle with non-life-threatening injuries following a rear-end collision in the 11600 block of Fm 730 north Feb. 4. the crash occurred about 7 p.m. when michael s. Fields, 52, of azle, drove a white 1988 Ford F150 into the rear of a red 2009 saturn outlook driven by misty D. Dale also of azle. Dale, with three juvenile passengers, was stopped with her left turn signal on, waiting to turn left into a parking lot when she was struck from behind. the impact pushed Dale’s vehicle onto the west shoulder of the roadway. Fields’ vehicle veered to the right (east) into the parking lot of a convenience store, where it struck the gas island. Fields was arrested at the scene for driving while intoxicated; however, he was released to medical personnel who transported him to the hospital and a warrant will be issued for his arrest at a later date. Dale and two of the juveniles in her vehicle were treated and released from the hospital, according to the police report. Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman

BY NATALIE GENTRYAzle’s Jennifer Simmons

never pictured herself as an au-thor.

Although she has always enjoyed reading, she never dreamed of penning the Great American Novel.

A story to tellThe need to create her book,

Blessed at Bedtime, crept up on her after her son, Zane, was six-months-old.

“[Zane] would curl up in my lap each night so I could read to him,” Simmons said. “We tend to read at least three books ev-ery night, and I began to notice that a lot of the books only had one parent in them.”

“There would be one parent giraffe and the baby,” she con-tinued. “My son started to point to the page and ask ‘Mama or Daddy,’ and I would answer that I didn’t know.”

Simmons began to question why both parents couldn’t be present.

Then, as she read to Zane one evening, the inspiration struck.

“I had this idea for the book, so I simply sat down and wrote it,” Simmons said. “The line rhymed and everything.”

However, instead of pursu-ing publication, Simmons put Blessed at Bedtime away.

“For a year and a half I sat on

Penned with love Local author’s children’s book highlights familial bonds

it,” she said.Then one evening I was read-

ing to Zane again and I just felt like the Lord was telling me to just go ahead and do this...and so I did.”

A journey worth takingSimmons said that once she

decided to try publishing the book she ultimately chose to self-publish.

“I wanted this entire book to be my creation,” she said. “When a person publishes through one of the mainstream publishing houses, they lose a lot of control over the book.”

She also noted that tradition-al publishing can take a long time – often from 12 weeks to 18 months just for a response to a query letter.

“I decided just to go ahead and do it myself,” Simmons said. “Then I paid a profes-sional illustrator to create the pictures the way I wanted.

“Once I decided to do it, it was finished in about three months. It was a process, but it was really enjoyable the whole way through.”

A work from the heartSimmons’ motivation for

writing Blessed at Bedtime was the fact she wanted to highlight the bond between a mother and father as well as the comfort this relationship can provide children.

“It’s a Christian niche bed-time book, so there is a smaller target crowd,” Simmons said. “I wanted to write a children’s book that focused on the strength in the parents’ relation-ship.”

Simmons’ husband Nathan attests to her dedication to not just their family, but all fami-lies.

“She wrote this book from her heart,” Nathan said. “It’s a way for her to give back to the community and to maybe give other families a tool.”

Simmons has taken to You-Tube – a true 21st century plat-form – to discuss the story and the other elements of the book.

In addition to the tale, Blessed at Bedtime provides families with a children’s bed-time prayer and four promise scriptures.

These provide children with the comfort of the promise of protection, God’s love, God’s purpose for the children, and a peaceful night’s sleep.

“My heart’s desire is that [Blessed at Bedtime] not only speaks total peace, love, and safety for your children,” Sim-

mons says in her video. “But that [parents] would also feel that same peace, love, and safety while they read it with them.”

Simmons said she has anoth-er story planned, but that she wants to see the reaction to her first book before she proceeds.

Blessed at Bedtime was re-

leased Jan. 12 through Author-House publishing and is avail-able through their website as well as via Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Books-A-Million, and IndieBound online book sell-ers.

“Let all you do be done with love.” -1 Corinthians 16:14

Simmons took to YouTube to discuss her motivation for the book and to read the story.

by carla noah stutsmanAn eight-mile pursuit Thurs-

day evening, Jan. 29 that reached speeds of 80 miles-per-hour in a residential area near Springtown didn’t turn out so well for the guy running from Parker Coun-ty Sheriff’s deputies.

Actually, several of his friends didn’t like it much, either.

Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler said members of the Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team (FAST) attempted to serve a warrant at a house on Oak Meadows Drive about 5 p.m.

The subject of that warrant was Samuel Burtis Cox, 37, of Springtown.

Cox was known to frequent the residence.

While FAST members were at the house, Cox drove by but immediately fled from depu-ties, who pursued him down Hilltop Meadows to Cactus View Drive, to Summit Ridge,

then Highland Circle.After briefly traveling

onto East Highway 199, Cox reached speeds up to 80 miles-per-hour near the inter-section of Harms and Spring-field Roads, Fowler said.

That’s where the pickup Cox was driving left the road-way, crashing through at least five fences on eight separate properties.

The pursuit ended when Cox wrecked the vehicle, which landed in a horse arena behind a residence on Garden Court.

Somehow, Cox still thought he could get away.

He continued fleeing on foot from the crash site, and deputies observed him throw a baggie of suspected meth-amphetamine into a horse trough.

FAST members apprehended Cox within 100 yards of the pickup from which he fled.

Sheriff’s investigators searched the residence on Oak Meadows Drive where the pursuit began, discovering ad-ditional smaller amounts of narcotics and a large amount of suspected stolen property in-side the home.

Four additional suspects were arrested at the scene in-cluding two occupants of the

home identified as Othe Leon-ard Wallis, 46, and Karri Lyn Tandle-Ludington, 29.

Joy Lynn Johnson, 44, ap-parently a neighbor on Oak Meadows, was also arrested on scene along with David Anthony Headspeth, 32, of Poolville.

Sheriff’s investigators spent several hours seizing and log-

ging the suspected stolen prop-erty into evidence, including copper wiring, power and hand tools, electronics, coins, silver-ware, chargers, light fixtures, and clothing accessories.

Fowler said Sheriff’s in-vestigators anticipate clearing several local cases of theft and burglary as a result of the items recovered.

He also said Cox’s reckless actions had the potential to cause serious damage.

“Luckily, no one was in-jured as a result of the pur-suit,” Fowler said. “The sus-pect came dangerously close to several barns and residenc-es, showing no regard for life or property.”

Cox was arrested on a lo-cal theft warrant and two out-

of-county theft warrants. He faces additional charges of evading arrest or detention, narcotics and other charges.

Headspeth was arrested on a local warrant for obstructing a highway or passageway.

Wallis, Johnson and Tandle-Ludington were each charged with possession of a con-trolled substance. Additional charges against all five indi-viduals are pending the ongo-ing investigation.
