BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANJohn and Melody Myers of Azle

were not at their home on High Ridge Drive southwest of Azle Wednesday, Nov. 27 – the day before Thanksgiv-ing – when it caught fire.

And although their home is a to-tal loss, the Myers say they are still thankful.

“It’s just numbing, and unless you’ve ever experienced something like this, you don’t realize – well, you just don’t know what to do,” Melody Myers said almost a week after the fire.

She is a well-known teacher at Cross Timbers Elementary School in Azle.

Myers said their insurance is provid-ing a travel trailer for them to set up on their property while they rebuild, but if the mountain of paperwork required is any indication, rebuilding will be a long process.

Still, Myers says she and her hus-band are blessed.

“Our family and friends who have stepped up to help us are too many to name, and my co-workers – oh, my co-workers have just been amazing,” Myers said. “We just couldn’t let the Red Cross come in to help us, be-cause there are so many people who are worse off than we are. We have a place to stay.”

Myers also praised the firefighters

that worked so hard to try to save her home.

“You know, I pulled up there with two grandbabies, and they were just devastated,” Myers said. “The firemen took those boys and showed them the fire engine and all the equipment. They didn’t have to do that, but it meant so much to me. I can never thank them enough. God bless them.”

While they are thankful no lives were lost in the tragedy, Myers said little things will always haunt her.

“It’s not the appliances, the TVs or the jewelry that we’ll miss,” she said. “It’s the original photos of my dad when he was in the military, and his flag that can never be replaced.”

But the outpouring of support from friends and family – and even some former students – goes a long way in making up the difference.

Parker County Fire Marshal Shawn Scott said Tuesday the fire appears to be a tragic accident.

“The homeowners appear to be very conscientious about any hazards, but they did say they had cleaned out the fireplace that morning and placed the container full of ashes outside the back door of the home,” Scott said. “However, I also found evidence in the same location of damage to some electrical wiring.”

BY MARK K. CAMPBELLIt’s a tradition for generations of

Azleites – the annual Christmas pa-rade.

This year’s event is set for Saturday, Dec. 7.

With a theme of “Christmas Around the World,” the event begins with the tree lighting in front of the Azle Historical Museum, 124 West Main Street, at 5 p.m.

Next, a parade moseys down Main Street to 404 where activities galore await children and adults.

The tree lightingOriginally, the annual tree used was

a local cedar tree, lit up to the delight of many.

Today, the Azle Optimist Club se-cures a 16-foot traditional tree from the Fort Worth club. That group’s lot at 2800 West Lancaster near Far-rington Field in Cowtown is an annual fundraiser.

Azle’s tree has come from there for more than two decades now.

In years past, the tree area was the site where Santa Claus would greet children. More recently, jolly Saint Nick has been found in the weather-friendly venue of 404 West Main Street.

But, for this holiday season, Santa will return to the tree before the pa-rade begins to pose for pictures with the illuminated evergreen.

He’ll also listen to gift requests from boys and girls.

Then Santa will mount his sled and become part of the parade.

The paradeAfter enjoying hot cider and home-

made cookies provided by the Azle Optimist Club and the museum, floats and businesses vie for awards as they give their best to the yearly theme.

Among the honors for floats: Most Christmas Spirit; Best Texas Christ-mas; Most Creative; and Best Overall.

Businesses hope to earn a Best Light Display: Best Spirit; or Best Theme, among others.

Bands and festive folk bring the sea-son to a fever pitch.

Then the real fun begins.

(If poor weather arrives, the parade could be cancelled, but the indoor events at 404 Main Street will con-tinue.)

404 Main StreetOnce the parade ends, hundreds of

revelers will pour inside the spacious area of 404 West Main Street.

Inside, there will be hot chocolate, face painting, ornament and cookie painting, and stories from Mrs. Claus.

And the jolly elf will once more listen and thrill children while photos can be taken.

The Azle ISD Drama Club will per-form and so will representatives from The G.E.M.

It’s a one-of-a-kind celebration – and it’s completely free.

BY MARK K. CAMPBELLU.S. House of Representatives Con-

gresswoman Kay Granger agrees with several national organizations – Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle (THAZ) is one of the best in America.

On Nov. 28, Granger was escorted around THAZ by the president of the hospital, Bob Ellzey and other staff and board members.

Granger said she came to Azle to congratulate everyone at THAZ for their recent spate of honors.

She noted that this area was fortu-nate to have such a quality hospital so close.

Yet THAZ has a “warm and cozy” approach to its patients and their care. Granger noted that the patient/staff re-lationship seemed particularly close.

The Congresswoman also com-mented on THAZ’s external general well-being efforts like low-cost access

to fruits and vegetables; the hospital’s involvement in the community; the disease education and management outreach; and the progressive pilot programs ongoing.

She said she hoped that THAZ could be a model for other American communities.

Granger added that she was hope-ful that her Congressional colleagues could pull together and work in a bi-partisan manner on the challenges ex-perienced with the implementation of the Affordable Care Act.

Ellzey said of Granger’s visit, “It was an honor and privilege for us at Texas Health Azle to host Congress-woman Granger and to be recognized by her for our achievements.”

He added, “She listened to the con-cerns and challenges we face in pro-viding care to a rapidly increasing un-insured population.”

Todd Rone, the grandson of former longtime Azle Mayor

Cy Rone, repeated a long-held tradition Friday, Nov. 29, when he helped decorate the Optimist Club Christmas Tree in front of the Azle Historical Museum, starting site for the

BY NATALIE GENTRYThe Relief Society at the

Azle Ward of The Church of Je-sus Christ of Latter-day Saints visited with and distributed lap quilts to the residents of Azle Manor Nursing Home Nov. 19.

The ladies began their ser-vice project last July when they discovered the need for the quilts and shawls at the nursing

home.The group’s initial goal was

to collect 100 lap quilts; to date; they have gathered 155 finished pieces.

Many ladies in the group sew, crochet, or knit and others con-tributed by buying lap quilts.

Ethel from Good N.E.W.S. Living at Home, Block Nurse Program donated 15 crocheted

pieces and even young girls 8-10 years old made or donated quilts.

One girl took her report card money and bought a finished piece from her neighbor, who accepted much less than the ar-ticle was worth because it was a service to the nursing home.

Ladies as far away as Gra-ham donated time and quilts to

the cause.While it is hard to assign an

amount of time spent on each lap quilt an estimate would be 10-12 hours per article.

There are more quilts to be finished and the women plan to make this an ongoing service project that will help other lo-cal care facilities in the future.

BY DARLENE HOLMESYou couldn’t have asked for

better weather for the Thanks-giving holiday!

This week was our No SCS meal day on Tuesday. We had stew and cornbread we fixed.

Friday Dec. 6 is food bank day, but the weather may shut us down again.

Our monthly birthday and anniversary party will be Wednesday, Dec. 11 and we’ll have cake and ice cream.

Hope and Johnny and their

band will be here to play for us again.

Come on up about 10:30 a.m. and hear them; they are great! They enjoy playing for the se-niors and we’re so glad they come.

We play tables games most mornings until lunch time, but most of the seniors stay over there and listen to the band.

We do stay after lunch on Thursdays and play chicken foot. It’s lots of fun – come have lunch and play with us!

We got all the Thanksgiving and fall decorations down and will start getting the Christmas decorations up. We like to dec-orate the B.J. Clark Building for the community.

Come by and check us out soon, if you’ve not been here yet. I’ve talked to several new folks who are planning on com-ing.

We order meals the day be-fore and serve at noon Monday through Friday.

Ya’ll come!

(VCC) hosted the third annual Azle Teen Challenge men’s center Thanksgiving dinner and served food to over 100 friends, family, and students Nov. 28.

“This is more than just a din-ner,” said Pastor Jim Hartin. “We become family and share time together as well as a deli-cious meal.”

VCC Young Adult Minis-try leaders, Ryan and Jennifer Merry, and VCC Spanish Min-istry pastor Samuel Solis orga-nized preparations and serving at the dinner.

All the trimmings were do-nated by Vance Godbey’s Res-taurant in Azle.

Azle Teen Challenge director David Woodcock attended with his family, as did several family members of the Teen Challenge men.

Several men shared what Thanksgiving meant to them this year.

They recalled what their life was like a year ago when they were struggling with addic-tion and how their lives have changed because of the Teen Challenge program.

The Azle Teen Challenge

men’s campus if a one-year residential faith-based adult ad-diction recovery program. The mission of the campus is to provide a comprehensive solu-tion to life-controlling drug and alcohol addictions.

Teen Challenge was founded in 1958 by Pastor David Wilk-erson who began ministering to drug addicts and gang members on the streets of New York.

It came to Texas in 1968 and to Azle in 2010.

There are approximately 200 Teen Challenge centers in the Unites States and over 1,000 worldwide.

In Jan. 2014, Azle Teen will open the Restored Thrift Store at 5138 Belknap Road in Hal-tom City.

Residents will receive voca-tional training and all proceeds will benefit the Teen Challenge.

For information about donat-ing new or gently used appli-ances, clothing, furniture, and household goods contact the Azle Teen Challenge center at 817-406-4441.

The Teen Challenge work crews are also available for hire to work construction, landscap-ing, restoration (cleaning), and painting.

All proceeds from work crews and services go back into the ministry of Teen Challenge.

The ratingThere’s a sorta scary snow

Summing upFrozen has some typical

songs and wacky animals and enough wit to name characters after Hans Christian Anderson. But it’s not a classic. It’s has enough laughs to entertain and will certainly score higher with young girls.

But 12-year-old boys…not so much.

The winter food drive at Brace Chiropractic Clinic will continue through the end of the year.

The volunteers of the Inas-much Food Pantry were over-joyed with the 150 items staff, patients, and friends of the clin-ic donated in time for Thanks-

giving.However, with Christmas just

around the corner, the need for donations is greater than ever.

Food items that aren’t usu-ally seen at the Tarrant Area Food Bank include peanut but-ter, jelly, macaroni and cheese, canned meats, soup, and ramen

noodles.These items, in addition to

others, would be an appreciated addition to the pantry.

Donations may be dropped off at Brace Chiropractic Clinic

during regular business hours.Inasmuch Food Pantry is lo-

cated at the Eagle Mountain UMC on Reed Road.

Food is distributed to resi-dents from a three county area

on at least two Mondays each month.

For more information about

the pantry, contact director Sue Miller at 817-444-2303.

Silver Creek Baptist Church that was once a rural country worship place is now the toast of the town that the youth and small children come in droves to hear the new youth pastor Creighton Morris, a grad-uate of Tarleton State Univ. and Mrs. Jessica Pelletier are the symbiosis of two innovative Christians thrive in the preaching of the good news of Jesus Christ the living savior of mankind milieu in an alchemy of good that the little town of Azle offers. Since both these two young adult people arrived at Silver Creek, an immeasurable difference is noticed in the direction of spirit in family programs and the community they live in by systematically revamping a teaching technique that has im-pacted this little church with overfl owing crowds of visitors and new members, that a new building has been erected to accommodate the masses now. If there is an epitome of total fulfi llment in God’s eyes for joy, both Jessica Pelletier and Creighton Morris have sure illuminated that light-ness in heaven. I’m sure God has said (“Job well done Creighton and Jessica my faithful servants, keep up the good work”) We at Silver Creek Baptist Church are proud to call these two teachers, one of our own.

HELLO AZLE & SURROUNDING COMMUNITIES!

137-A Industrial Ave. · Azle

Funeral services for Walter Buckel, 92, former Lamesa newspaper publisher, were held Monday, Dec. 2, 2013 at 2 p.m. at the Lamesa Church of Christ with Mark Hackett officiating.

Interment followed in Lamesa Memorial Park under the direc-tion of Branon Funeral Home.

Buckel passed away Wednes-day morning, Nov. 27, at his home in Lubbock.

He was born Nov. 22, 1921 in the Imperial Valley of Southern California, the son of Fred and Irene (Huth) Buckel.

Leaving school during his senior year at Holtville, Cali-fornia, he began playing minor league baseball in California, Kansas and Nebraska. He came to Lamesa in 1941 and signed a contract to play for the Lamesa Lobos of the West Texas/New Mexico League.

Buckel served as a radio op-erator with the U.S. Army Air Corps in North Africa during

World War II.After the war he resumed

playing baseball and married Rubye Neile Mitchell on March 3, 1947 in Montgomery, Ala. They decided to make Lamesa their permanent home after he returned to play baseball here in 1947.

He served as business man-ager of the Lamesa Baseball Club and then as cafeteria and transportation director for the Lamesa Independent School District. He was elected Daw-son County Clerk and served four and one half years before resigning in 1957 to enter the insurance business.

In 1960 he was named manag-er of KPET radio station and held that position until 1967, when he purchased the Dawson County Free Press, a weekly newspaper in Lamesa. The following year he joined with James Roberts of Andrews to purchase the Lamesa Reporter and merged the two publications to form the Lamesa Press-Reporter.

With earthquakes in the fore-

front of everyone’s minds, even

students in the Azle Independent

School District (AISD) are being

prepared for the next one.

Tanya Anderson, director of cur-

riculum for the district, said all 10

campuses have completed drills or

will do so by the end of the week

(Friday, Dec. 6).

AISD drills students for quake-readiness

Azle High School students were captured on camera during an earthquake drill held Tuesday, Nov. 26 at 9 a.m. at the school.

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANAdministrators, council members, some staff and a

double handful of citizens were a bit shaken up at 6:40 p.m. Tuesday, Nov. 19, when the strongest earthquake to occur to date in the area – magnitude 3.6 – shook city hall during a council meeting.

Most of those in attendance likened the experience to feeling as if a vehicle had hit the building – a slight

rumble immediately followed by a loud “boom” and more rum-

bling.

It may have lasted a total of three or four seconds, if that.

While at least one big city television station reported that the city has requested an investigation into the cause of the quakes, city manager Craig Lemin says that’s not entirely correct.

“If we were going to request an investigation at the state level, we would have started with Representatives (Charlie) Geren and (Phil) King – but they were already on top of it,” Lemin said. “Representative Geren has ad-vised us he would get us a copy of the report once it is

available.”Once the report is seen by city offi cials,

they can evaluate what needs to be done from there, Lemin said. However, he cau-tioned, the research will take considerable time and will likely involve offi cials in all the impacted areas.

“Cleburne experienced a series of quakes in June 2009. The geologists collected data for a year and it was 2012 before the report from that study was fi nally published,” Le-min said. “That report indicated disposal wells may be contributing to the quakes but stopped short of concluding they were the source.”

Lemin stressed there is no quick answer to what is causing the quakes in the area and even after some study, there may not be a conclusive answer.

Stay as safe as possible during an earthquake. Be aware that some earthquakes

are actually fore-shocks and a larger earthquake might occur. Minimize your move-

ments to a few steps to a nearby safe place and stay indoors until the shaking has

stopped and you are sure exiting is safe.

ter! Drop, Cover and HoldWhat to Do During an Earthquake

If indoors?1. DROP to the ground; take COVER by getting under a sturdy table or other

piece of furniture; and HOLD ON until the shaking stops. If there isn’t a table or desk near you, cover your face and head with your arms and crouch in an inside corner of the building.2. Stay away from glass, windows, outside doors and walls, and anything that could fall, such as lighting fi xtures or furniture.3. Stay in bed if you are there when the earthquake strikes. Hold on and protect your head with a pillow, unless you are under a heavy light fi xture that could fall. In that case, move to the nearest safe place.4. Use a doorway for shelter only if it is in close proximity to you and if you know it is a strongly supported, loadbearing doorway.5. Stay inside until shaking stops and it is safe to go outside. Research has shown that most injuries occur when people inside buildings attempt to move to a different location inside the building or try to leave.6. Be aware that the electricity may go out or the sprinkler systems or fi re alarms may turn on.

7. DO NOT use the elevators.

If outdoors?1. Stay there.

2. Move away from buildings, streetlights, and utility wires.

3. Once in the open, stay there until the shaking stops. The greatest danger exists di-

rectly outside buildings, at exits, and alongside exterior walls. Many of the 120 fatalities

from the 1933 Long Beach earthquake occurred when people ran outside of buildings

only to be killed by falling debris from collapsing walls.

Ground movement during an earthquake is seldom the direct cause of death or injury.

Most earthquake-related casualties result from collapsing walls, fl ying glass, and falling

objects.If in a moving vehicle?

1. Stop as quickly as safety permits and stay in the vehicle. Avoid stop-ping near or under buildings, trees, overpasses, and utility wires.

2. Proceed cautiously once the earthquake has stopped. Avoid roads, bridges, or ramps that might have been damaged by the earthquake.

If trapped under debris?

1. Do not light a match.

2. Do not move about or kick up dust.

3. Cover your mouth with a handkerchief or clothing.

4. Tap on a pipe or wall so rescuers can locate you. Use a whistle if one is available. Shout

only as a last resort. Shouting can cause you to inhale dangerous amounts of dust.

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANAzle Mayor Alan Brundrett is al-ways busy, but lately, his level of ac-tivity is off the charts.What’s keeping him so busy?Interviews with what seems to him

to be every newspaper, television and radio station on earth.They all want to talk to the Mayor of the Texas town that’s expe-rienced 19 earthquakes in 28 days.“I’ve heard from a newsletter for the oil and gas industry who sent a reporter to Azle to check things out,” Brundrett said. “And I got an email from a newspaper in another country on Thanksgiv-ing Day.”

On Tuesday, Dec. 3, Brundrett said he did two phone interviews on his way back to work from lunch.“My only real con-cern is that the quakes could get stronger,” Brundrett said. “So far, they have all been relatively weak and haven’t

caused any damage, but if that esca-lates – well, that’s my concern.”Brundrett said he learned recently

that one study conducted in nearby Cleburne just a couple of years ago in-dicate that might not become the case.

“The geologist who did that report said that earthquakes that might be caused by injection wells would tend to stay below magni-tude 4.0,” Brundrett said. “At that level, they could start causing some dam-age, but if these are caused by reinject-ing waste water, they probably won’t in-crease much.”Brundrett said city staff has reached out to Congresswoman Kay Granger’s offi ce to request direct con-tact with representa-tives of the United States Geological Survey (USGS), who monitors seis-mic activity.“Maybe we can get to the bottom of

it all with their help.”

I was at home when

the 3.6 hit and it felt

like somebody ran a

truck into the front of

my house – it shook

everything up real

bad and it broke one

of our glass vases. I

was on the comput-

er, and I jumped up

and went outside to

see what happened.

I think the epicenter

was just about a mile

away. It startled me – it was more like

‘what just happened?’ I took my gun

outside because I didn’t know what to

expect, but there was nothing out there.

We felt it here at Comet Cleaners on a Tuesday night at 6:40. They said it was

the biggest one so far. It made the sliding glass doors at our drive-through window

shake and the ceiling fans wobbled. We’ve had people hit the building with cars

before, and that’s just what it sounded like. It just lasted seconds.

I agree with statements

that the Railroad Commission needs to beef

up its work on the saltwater injection wells in

the area. There is too much coincidental infor-

mation from other areas of the country that has

experienced similar episodes to not follow up

on how the wells are being operated. From my

knowledge of the well locations all the earth-

quakes are happening within a circle bounded

by the injection wells.

I happened to be out-side when one of the quakes hit and I no-ticed that our quail be-gan to covey up. Then, right before it hit they scattered. The only time quail do that is if they sense danger.Paul Moore

I was just pulling up my drive-way in my new car when one

happened. I didn’t feel it, but my h u s b a n d did. He came run-ning out-side because he thought I’d hit the house in the new car. The other

two times, I was sitting on the couch, and both times it moved my couch.

We were at home and my dogs went crazy, so we went outside try-ing to fi nd who was banging on the walls. I really thought the neigh-bors were fi ghting and banging stuff. It was the 3.6.

Different things have happened

with each one of them. It’s just kind

of scary.

I kind of think it has to do with

things in the Bible. I know nothing

about fracking. I think it has a little to

do with the end of times. The weather

now is so different – it’ll be 75 degrees

one day and freezing the next...

We had some custom-ers in the back corner, and there were two cob-bler dishes sitting on the counter. Then there were two earthquakes back-to-back and those dishes fell onto the fl oor. At fi rst I thought I did it, but they said it was an earthquake.

Scott likened the situation to a classic “chicken or egg” question.

“Whether the ashes caught fire – the winds were high that day – and the flames spread to the house, or the wiring caught fire first and got a little help from heated ashes, it was ac-cidental,” Scott said. “We’ll leave the rest to the insurance company – fortunately, they did have insurance.”

Scott said the home sits quite some distance off the roadway and cannot even be seen from the street. So neighbors did not notice smoke from the fire for quite some time.

“Actually, firefighters from Silver Creek Fire Depart-ment noticed a large column of black smoke and contacted Parker County fire dispatch, who had no record of a fire in that area,” Scott said. “When Chief Jason Ingram saw the smoke, he knew it was not normal, so they immediately set off to investigate.”

As firefighters got closer, Ingram upgraded the call from an investigation to a structure based on what he was seeing, his training and his gut feeling, Scott said.

When they found the fire, a neighbor had just arrived to investigate the smoke, as well,

and was calling 911.The home was already so

well-involved with fire that all suppression efforts were strict-ly defensive, Scott explained.

Between the cold snap a week before this particular fire and another – even colder – predicted for the upcoming weekend, Scott pleaded with the public to take precautions to prevent structure fires.

“The tiniest ember can start a raging fire, so be sure to dis-pose of fireplace ashes in a hole in the ground whenever possible,” Scott advised. “An-other common cause of fires is space heaters placed too close to furniture and/or bedding.”

Dear Editor:The new norm for Americans and

our country is perpetual acrimony and mordancy brought on by President Obama and his political base as illus-trated in Mr. Obama’s so-called “mea culpa” of being caught red-handed of flat lies in his disastrous healthcare law.

Mr. Obama’s compunction was more about “they a culpa” – blaming his failures on the insurance compa-nies and, of course, those vile Repub-licans as obstructionists.

Even more wrenching now is Presi-

I'm a member of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR), and at every meeting we say the Pledge of Alle-giance to the U.S. flag and also to the Texas flag. Both have

the word “indivisible” in the pledge. Of course, the Civil War settled the issue that states may not leave the Union. I've heard people comment that Texas reserved the right to secede. No, that is not true.

What Texas did obtain from the U.S. when we entered the Union is the right to divide ourselves into as many as five states. We're not indivisible. I always want to tell someone that each time we say the Texas pledge.

Actually, when the U.S. acquired large areas of land, Congress divided them into numerous states. The Loui-siana Territory stretched all the way to the Pacific Northwest, so, of course, it was broken into many states. The Mexican Cession, acquired after the Mexican War, became New Mexico, Arizona, California, Utah, Nevada and part of Colorado. Dakota Terri-

tory was divided into two states. So was the Oregon Country.

Texas was so big, that the expecta-tion was that it would be divided. The wording of the 1845 treaty by which Texas entered the Union allowed it.

In a book called Documents of Texas History, I found a “Constitution of the State of West Texas.” Copies of it are located in the Texas State Library in Austin, the Library of Congress, in the library at Texas Tech University and in the Bancroft Library at the University of California at Berkeley.

The boundaries they proposed were the Gulf of Mexico on the south, the Colorado River on the east, and the Rio Grande on the west. The northern boundary was the 32nd parallel of lati-tude (about at present Interstate 20).

In a note attached by the editors of the document book they revealed that several attempts at dividing the state were made after 1847.

The most serious was during the Texas Constitutional Convention of 1868-69, the West Texas I found in the document book. Because a “Home-

stead Law” passed Con-gress in 1862, the new pro-posed West Texas offered the same terms to newcomers, 160 acres of land to a mar-ried man, and 80 to a male over 18.

The constitu-tion also pro-vided for free schools for at least four months each

year. A public school fund would be set up from the sale of public land. (If they were planning to give land away, they probably would not have sold much of it.) Obviously, they did not succeed in establishing their separate state.

Texas had to write a new constitu-tion to get back into the Union after

the Civil War. Congress rejected the first one, so one that the Carpetbag-ger Republicans wrote was accepted in 1869.

Later when the conservative, states rights Southern Democrats got back in power, they wrote another one in 1876, which is the one that governs the state today. The Southerners de-tailed everything so the state govern-ment could not get too much power. That is why we have to keep voting on so many amendments each year to make needed changes to a document that was too specific from the begin-ning.

(In case anyone is confused, South-ern Democrats by the 1970s realized that the national Democrat party had become liberal, and the Republican Party was conservative. Therefore, a big flip-flop occurred, and most of those Southern Democrats now vote Republican. They're still conservative, states rights oriented, less big govern-ment, etc. [I taught history AND gov-ernment for 40 years.])

More proposals to divide Texas have

been made through the years than I re-alized. These were in 1866, the one in 1869, 1870, 1909, 1914.

John Nance Garner proposed five states of East Texas, West Texas, North Texas, South Texas and Central Texas in the 1930s, but nothing came of it. After the 1930s no one took pro-posals to divide Texas seriously, but more came in 1969, 1975 and anoth-er in 1991, which suggested that the Panhandle be made into a state called “Old Texas.” That bill was not even considered.

I always have maintained that Tex-ans would never permit our state to be divided, certainly while we enjoyed being the largest state. Even though Alaska robbed us of that distinction in 1959, I still believe that we will never split.

We couldn't let just one state have the Alamo!

I went to two funerals within days of each other – two men, one 58, one 92, who could hardly have been more differ-ent yet both made substantial contributions to many. And me.

David died from throat cancer. He smoked and was overweight and hated exercising and was crude and some-times an adult bully.

But, man, was he a great firefighter. He was also one of the five funniest guys I’ve ever known. His astonishing quick wit would sometimes be vulgar but his retort would be eye-watering hilarious.

Firefighters, like soldiers and law-men, live on the edge and they move through the world with gusto. When there might not be a tomorrow, you squeeze everything out of today. That was David. He’d tell you that’s why

he smoked and ate and was edgy – we have today; let’s wring it out.

Of all the friends I’ve ever had, I never liked a guy more, considering we had almost nothing in common.

I once came in from a nocturnal jog while we were on duty, sweating from the summertime humidity and heat. David was sprawled out in a recliner, pants undone, and smoking a cigarette with an empty bowl of Blue Bell on the arm, watching PBS. I said, “Can you believe we get paid to work out?” He replied, “Can you believe we get paid to watch the birth of a baby sea otter on TV?”

We often stayed up late, discussing our kids at 3:35 in the morning – the only subject we ever agreed on.

He always told me, “Mark, you’re a nice guy. You’re just wired wrong.”

If we had a major fire, David was

the guy you wanted in the forefront of the firefight.

He was also a genius at se-rious vehicle accidents; with his automotive b a c k g r o u n d , no one freed f r i g h t e n e d , trapped victims faster than Da-vid.

His motor burned out at

58. But he left behind a slew of tal-ented firefighters trained in his hard-nosed manner – with everyone laugh-ing all the way.

Walter made it to five days past 92.

He played pro ball, was a WWII vet, and ran a newspaper.

In between, he was a superior ex-ample of exactly what a godly man is supposed to be.

Gentle and conscientious, civic-minded and a positive father, he al-ways put others first.

Walter was a classic example of be-ing a good example.

He was a role model for many, from his work ethic to his financial savvy to his journalistic skills.

You always hear at funerals: “No one every said a bad thing about [the deceased].” Walter is the only person I’ve know that such a statement is true.

For scores of people, when the U.S. mail would arrive, there’d be a small envelope addressed to them. Inside would be a simple note – sometimes handwritten, other times typed (al-

ways on an old school typewriter) – from Walter. The letters always con-tained an encouraging message.

Once I got one that also contained a $2 bill. It was so cool to get such an uplifting surprise.

In this life, it’s easy to be mean; but it’s just as easy to be nice. Walter’s positive notes came unsolicited and out of the blue – and they were always cherished.

To be honest, I can’t see David and Walter hanging out. Yet, I was fortu-nate during our lifetimes to intersect with them both – certainly the only person on earth to do so.

And that’s what makes life so great – living it!

Whether you’re 58 or 92.

Merry Christmas!I hope that you and your family

had a wonderful Thanksgiving and are looking forward to a very Merry Christmas!

We spend a lot of time talking about politics. I am involved in politics be-cause as a Christian, I am called to ser-vice to elect Godly men and women to office that promote policies that enrich our country and protect our freedoms.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

dent Obama’s lap dog lackeys of the Democratic-controlled Senate in changing a 242-year-old procedural rule on Nov. 21 of preventing the mi-nority of filibustering in presidential nominations.

This is nothing more than a funda-mental naked power grab in filling more judicial posts by leftist, neo-collective Socialists in our govern-ment.

It’s also a distraction from the negative reporting of that fantastic “Obamacare.”

Congratulations America! The man you elected and his minions now rule an oligarchy nation. Joseph L. Bryan Fort Worth

President changed 242-year-old rule

On Christmas, Je-sus, and politics

ously taken for granted, but more im-portant, He has given us the opportu-nity to accept His grace.

During this season, I am reminded that Jesus Christ came to this world to be the sacrifice for our sin. He died on the cross so that we may be recon-ciled with God through His blood. The Lord says that all who believe and ac-cept Jesus as Savior and Lord will be saved.

The Christmas season is a reminder of His love and sacrifice. My prayer for you today and every day is that you have a personal relationship with Jesus Christ and that you know the only true source of strength.

All politics is spiritual, a fight for values and principles to lead our na-tion. Those principles need to be God centered.

Each of us needs to be active in the political process to make sure that the platform reflects our values and to make sure that we elect men and

women to political office that share and will vote our values.

I believe in the individual’s abil-ity to provide solutions. I believe in personal accountability and the right to benefit from work, training, educa-tion, and sacrifice.

Private property and the right to bear arms should not be a topic for discus-sion in our state houses or Congress.

All life has value.I believe in the right to free speech

and the right to worship as we choose. In this season celebrating the Birth of the Savior, we must tell our story.

We must resist the “political cor-rectness” that wants to take Christ out of Christmas.

We need to stand firm on the Ju-deo-Christian values our country was founded on and that have made us the “Shining City on the Hill.”

To each of you, Merry Christmas! Zan Prince Weatherford

2013 Black Friday numbers take a dip

For the first time since 2009, retail merchants saw Black Friday profits drop.

With Thursday – Thanksgiving Day – openings, retailers’ Black Fri-day numbers fell, in brick and mortar buildings and online.

Estimates by the National Retail Federation said consumers spent three percent less than in 2012, $57.4 billion to $59.1 billion.

That equates to each person spend-ing $407.22 less, a 3.9 percent drop.

The reason for the decrease, the group said, is the ever-growing pop-ularity of businesses opening on Thanksgiving Day.

The poor start could mean even more bad news for retailers. This year, the time between Thanksgiving and Christmas Day is shorter than ever, just 27 days.

Compared to 2012, that’s six fewer days this shopping season.

A Morgan Stanley study projects a season-wide drop of 3.5 percent from last year. Walmart and Target have already reduced holiday profit projec-tions.

Among the reasons for customer de-cline in spending are concerns about the economy and “mission shopping” where a single item is purchased then the customer leaves the store.

Gaining an ADVENTageous perspective

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. Of course, in some places, that started months ago. It is, after all, convenient to be able to buy your Zombie Hal-loween costume on one aisle

and your tinseled garland (or is it gar-landed tinsel?) on the next.

Other signs of the season: people with cuts, bruises, and dark, baggy eyes still recovering from Black Friday shopping; credit cards hot to the touch from the friction of holi-day-pace swiping; turkeys that survived Thanksgiving starting to look over their shoulders again; boycot-ters getting ready for ev-ery “Happy Holidays” and “Merry Xmas” sign. It’s the most wonderful time of the year!

During the month of De-cember, I have decided to give Life Matters an Ad-vent flavor through some Advent/Christmas Car-ols. Full disclosure here: Growing up in a small, traditional Southern Baptist church, I don’t remember even hearing the word “advent.” So, for anyone with a similar background, here’s the Wiki-pedia version.

“Advent is a season observed in many Western Christian churches as a time of expectant waiting and prepara-tion for the celebration of the Nativ-ity of Jesus at Christmas. The term is an anglicized version of the Latin word adventus, meaning ‘coming.’ Advent is the beginning of the West-ern liturgical year and commences on Advent Sunday…At least in the Ro-man Catholic, Anglican, Lutheran, Moravian, Presbyterian and Methodist calendars, Advent starts on the fourth Sunday before December 25, which is the Sunday between November 27 and December 3. Latin adventus is the translation of the Greek word par-ousia, commonly used to refer to the Second Coming of Christ. For Chris-

tians, the season of Advent anticipates the coming of Christ from two differ-ent perspectives. The season offers the opportunity to share in the ancient longing for the coming of the Messiah and to be alert for his Second Com-ing.”

Charles Wesley (1707-1788) was one of the most prolific hymn writ-ers in history, publishing the words

to over 6,000 hymns in his lifetime. Charles and his brother John were or-dained as Anglican clergy-men, but they pushed the envelope of their tradition by emphasizing personal and methodical study and application of Scripture and personal relationship with Christ characterized by holy living. The hymn Come Thou Long Expected Jesus is one example of that emphasis:

Come Thou long expect-ed Jesus/Born to set Thy people free.

From our fears and sins release us/Let us find our

rest in Thee.Israel's strength and consolation/

Hope of all the earth Thou art.Dear desire of every nation/ Joy of

every longing heart.Born Thy people to deliver/Born a

child and yet a King.Born to reign in us forever/Now Thy

gracious kingdom bring.By Thine own eternal spirit/Rule in

all our hearts alone.By Thine all sufficient merit/Raise

us to Thy glorious throne.Our lives matter so much to God that

he “came” to us in Jesus. My prayer is that we would enter this season with an ADVENTageous perspective.

Azle resident Dr. Gerry Lewis – author, blogger, church consultant, and leadership coach – serves as Executive Director of the Harvest Baptist As-

sociation headquartered in Decatur. The opinions expressed in this column are his own and may not

represent the views of HBA.

Texas’ primary election is set for March 4, 2014, and the list of candidates for statewide office is largely settled, with Dec. 9 as

the filing deadline.Most recently gaining

notice was state Sen. Le-ticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, who announced her candidacy for lieutenant governor on Nov. 23. Van de Putte has 22 years of expe-rience as a state lawmaker – eight years as a state rep-resentative and 14 years as a senator. She serves as chair of the Senate Committee on Veteran Affairs and Mili-tary Installations. Van de Putte and her colleague Sen. Wendy Davis, D-Fort Worth, who is seeking the Texas Democratic Party’s nomination for governor, form the nu-cleus of an effort to end a 20-year Re-publican sweep in statewide elections. Also seeking the Texas Democratic Party’s nomination for lieutenant governor is Seadrift Municipal Court Judge Reynaldo “Ray” Madrigal.

State Attorney General Greg Ab-bott, a Republican, is campaigning to succeed Rick Perry as governor. Last summer, Perry chose not to seek an-other term in the office he has occu-pied since 2001 and speculation about his mounting a second run for the pres-idency continues. Also running for the Republican Party of Texas’ gubernato-

rial nomination are former Univision personality Miriam Martinez of the Rio Grande Valley, author and former radio show host Lisa Fritsch of Austin

and secessionist Larry S. Kilgore of Arlington.

4 Republicans to vieWhile incumbent Lt.

Gov. David Dewhurst has presided over the Senate since January 2003, he ap-pears unready to change his job description. De-whurst, who explored and passed on a possible run for governor, faces a field of three of his fellow Repub-licans in the GOP primary: Texas Land Commissioner and former state lawmaker Jerry Patterson, Agriculture

Commissioner and former state sena-tor Todd Staples, and state Sen. Dan Patrick of Houston, chair of the Senate Education Committee.

4 seek to be next AGIn the race to succeed Greg Abbott

as state attorney general is Houston attorney Sam Houston, a Democrat, the lone candidate seeking his party’s nomination. Seeking the Republican Party’s nomination are Texas Rail-road Commission Chairman Barry Smitherman of Austin, state Rep. Dan Branch of Dallas, chairman of the House Higher Education Committee; and freshman state Sen. Ken Paxton of McKinney, vice chair of the Senate

Transportation Committee and former House member (2003-2012).

4 running for comptrollerSeeking the Texas GOP nomination

for comptroller of public accounts, to succeed Susan Combs as the state’s chief financial officer, are Republicans Harvey Hilderbran of Kerrville, chair of the House Committee on Ways and Means; Sen. Glenn Hegar of Katy, chair of the Senate Committee on Nominations; and Debra Medina of Wharton, a registered nurse, tea party activist and GOP primary candidate for governor in 2010. Accounting executive and energy company chief financial officer Mike Collier of King-wood is running for comptroller on the Democratic ticket.

5 after Ag Dept. roleNow in primary races for the top

spot at the Texas Department of Ag-riculture are Republicans J. Allen Carnes of Uvalde, former state Rep. Tommy Merritt of Longview, Karnes City rancher and attorney Eric Opiela, former state Rep. Sid Miller of Ste-phenville. Democrat Jim Hogan of Cleburne is seeking his party’s nomi-nation for agriculture commissioner. Whoever wins election in November will succeed Agriculture Commis-sioner Todd Staples, who is running for lieutenant governor.

Super Bowl Champs! Ladies 2nd in Brewer

A cold rain fell and the chill factor was below freezing, but that didn’t stop AYA football teams from winning every division but one in Burleson Nov. 23 in the youth Super Bowl. Sometimes, like above, Azle teams played each other on the chilly grid-iron. STORY, PHOTOS ON PAGE 15A. Photo by Mark K. Campbell

BY MARK K. CAMPBELLThe Lady Hornet basketball

team is playing some solid hoops.

Azle (7-5) reached the championship game in White Settlement before taking the runner-up trophy.

The tourney began with a 57-52 win over Boswell.

Four Lady Hornets reached double digits: Payton Berger (14), Kaycie Dunkerley and Valarie Matlock (13), and Taylor Fulfer (10).

Next came a 39-28 victory over Burkburnett. Azle roared out to a 28-11 halftime lead and kept the Lady Dogs at bay.

Dunkerley led AHS in scor-ing with 12 points. Matlock netted 10 and Berger had eight in the win.

Later the same day as the Burk contest, Azle beat Hal-tom 54-41.

Morgan Prentice poured in 17 points to pace the Lady Hornets.

Berger scored 12, Matlock 11, and Dunkerley nine points.

That trio of wins propelled Azle to the title tilt against 5-4A rival Byron Nelson.

A slow start – AHS trailed 27-13 at the half – hurt in a 47-34 loss.

Prentice stayed hot, scoring 16 points this time.

Matlock netted 11. Also scoring were Maci Wilbanks, Makenzi Bossert, and Fulfer.

On Nov. 25 – before Thanksgiving – Azle hosted Arlington Sam Houston and rode a super first half to a 58-

39 victory.After two quarters, the score

stood 41-25, Azle.Matlock paced AHS with 19

points. Berger got 12.Also scoring: Dunkerley

(7); Wilbanks and Bossert (6); and Fulfer and Emelia Miller (4).

North Dallas came to Azle Nov. 22 and, once more, the Hornets suffered a close loss, this time 49-46.

Azle (0-4) led at halftime 26-22.

Jesse Salisbury paced AHS in scoring with 14 points.

Right behind was Jason Tem-pleton with 13.

Colton Bagwell netted seven and Billy Stevens and Luke Da-vis added four points each.

Salisbury led in steals, as-sists, blocks, and rebounds.

Going 2-of-16 from 3-point range hurt the Hornets.

At Coppell, the girls varsity wrestling team finished second and the JV went 28-12, AHS coach Chris Allen said.

The boys took fourth behind Frisco Centennial, Coppell, and Northwest. “The boys actually did very well considering we wrestled 18 points that week-end,” Allen said.

Returning competitors will help the young Azle squad, he noted. “We are young and green but working all the time to improve,” Allen said.

Construction being complet-ed in the mat room will also help. Inside is a new ventilation system and a new practice mat.

“Both will cut down on inju-ries,” he said.

THE BEST BBQ IN TOWN

ACS loses state lateBY MARK K. CAMPBELLThe Azle Christian School

Crusaders made it back to the highest football mountain – the state championship game.

ACS (10-2-1) faced Lucas Christian Academy in unsea-sonably cold weather; a north wind chilled Porcupine Stadi-um in Springtown.

Even though the Azle school scored on the final play of the

game, Lucas took the six-man championship, 38-32.

Lucas got up early, but the Crusaders always kept within striking distance and once led.

No team built a substantial advantage.

Lucas led 20-12 at halftime. However, when the third period ended, the scored was tied at 20.

Then the offensive fireworks

began.ACS scored a pair of TDs,

but Lucas added a trio.The Crusaders picked up a

crucial first down with 1:04 left in the game on a fourth down. But on 4th-and-11 from the Lu-cas 37, a pass went incomplete in the Lucas end zone.

Three turnovers in the wan-ing minutes thwarted ACS in the final period.

Former Lady Hornet Kileigh Vann and her But-ler teammates finished third in the Div. I NCJAA soccer championships af-ter a 1-0 OT loss to Navarro.

AZLE JUNIOR HIGH

BY MARK K. CAMPBELL“It was fun to be part of.”That’s what Johnny Moore,

Azle Youth Association presi-dent and winning coach, said of the Super Bowl in Burleson.

Moore’s squad was one of five Azle teams that brought home championships – which is doubly impressive when you consider the weather Nov. 23 was beyond miserable.

A cold wind dropped the chill

factor below freezing and some teams played in an icy rain.

The contests began at 9 a.m. when the Under-6 team coached by Troy Kaznowski blanked their Granbury coun-terparts 28-0.

Moore’s Under-7 boys faced another Azle team coached by Jackie Syrus. Moore finally claimed a Super Bowl in his third try, 26-14.

“We were the only ones that

played their entire game in the rain,” he recalled.

He added, “Jackie’s team came back on us; it was a great game.”

In the Under-8 battle, it was Azle versus Azle again. Dustin Fields’ team topped Levi Hodg-es’ squad 30-6.

Next at Elk Stadium before scores of fans huddled against the elements, John Miesner’s Azle Bulldogs skunked Crow-ley, 28-0.

Azle’s only loss was a tough 8-0 defeat to Granbury in the Under-10 contest. “We got inside their 5-yard line twice but turned the ball over,” Moore said.

In the final clash, Edward Lester coached his Azle Bull-dogs to a definitive 38-6 win over Granbury.

That made it 5-of-6 Super Bowl titles for Azle teams in 2013, a new record.

“I’m really happy and im-pressed,” Moore said of the Azle teams. “I’m proud of the kids.”

Players took home huge in-dividual trophies then parents toted their young champs back through the poor weather – happy and excited – to Azle.

A couple of November swim meets meant substantial im-provement for several Azle High School swimmers.

On Nov. 9, AHS competed in the Chaps Invitational at Fort Worth’s Wilkerson Grienes na-tatorium.

Azle especially shone in the 100-yard backstroke with T.J. Savage winning, Dylan Heath fourth, and Jacob Hooper fin-ishing sixth.

Alex Bridge won the 100 butterfly while Ryan Lloyd

took third.Sarah Hall led the Lady Hor-

nets with a second place outing in the 50 freestyle.

The top relay team was the girls 200 free where Makayla Almeida, Rachel Toy, Elvia Bazan, and Hall finished third.

The boys team ended up sec-ond overall while the girls took fifth.

On Nov. 12 at a Wichita Falls quad meet, both squads espe-cially shone.

The Hornets won the meet

and the girls finished second.Hall won the 100 and 50 free.Other golds went to Lloyd

(100 fly); Savage (100 back), and Jordan Gill (100 breast-stroke).

Two relay teams were top medal winners. Gill, Lloyd, Bridge, and Savage were No. 1 in the 200 and 400 free.

Bridge (100, 200 free), Sav-age (50 free); Heath (500 free) and the girls 400 free relay – Almeida, Toy, Bazan, and Hall again – all won silvers.

Rodeo team riding strongThe Azle High School rodeo

team continues to compete in North Texas High School Ro-deo Association events.

Rookie cowgirl Bailey Kava-naugh finished third in barrels in the Joshua rodeo and later

took eighth in a Keller Timber Creek gathering at the NTH-SRA arena in Saginaw.

In the former victory, she pocketed $180.50.

Chute dogger Westlee Schneider took fifth in the Josh-

ua event and won $39.50.Dylan Pyburn finished eighth

in the same event.Bull rider Austen Malone

was the runner-up in the Joshua rodeo; he won 65 points and $87.

The AJH basketball girls faced Springtown in a “fun and intense game,” coaches recalled.

Springown won the kinetic con-test.

Top scorers for Azle were Rea-gan Karnes and Mayson Cross.

Defensive standouts included Taylor Cobb, Sammie Sellers, and Brook Byington.

Meeker said Cross was an in-

spiration to the team: “She told the team in their huddle: ‘It’s OK, ladies. We played great for our first game and we will get them back in the district tournament.’”

The coach recalled: “Both teams were aggressive.”

Meeker said, “The girls looked very good. We have some things to work on, but we will be ready and prepare for Prairie Vista.

Girls hoopsThe 8th A girls beat Creekview

in the season opener.Coaches said Sydney Stanley

was the offensive MVP while Jenna Okubo paced the Forte defense.

“All the girls played hard and contributed,” coaches noted.

The 8th B lost to Creekview 26-13.

Riley Sparks and Rylee Glennon were Forte’s offensive standouts while Amber Bury led the defense.

Also scoring were Haley Craig, Kylea Styne, Janie Barnard, and Leila Riojas.

“All the girls contributed in some way during the game,” coaches

said.The 7th A bashed Creekview

27-10.Avery Luig out-scored the Lady

Colts herself with 12 points. The bench added 10.

Also shining were Harley Wil-banks, Brook Creacy, Kyle Scrib-ner, and Avery North.

The 7th B lost 32-6 with Krista Medlock leading Forte.

Boys hoopsThe 8th A fell 39-11 despite play-

ing “with great intensity,” coaches recalled.

Cale McDonnell’s 9 points was tops while Dusti Webber grabbed

8 boards.Coaches also lauded the play

of James Westbrook who “showed great hustle and was a defensive presence,” coaches noted.

The 8th B tumbled 40-16.Jacob Beck was lauded for

his leadership and 4 points. Also scoring were Shawn Joseph and Tristan Shields.

Jacob Beck had 7 rebounds.The 7th A lost 32-15.

Named offensive MVP was Da-vid Johnson. Matthew Ulshafer was the defensive star, coaches recalled.

The 7th B fell 29-2.Scoring for Forte was Zach

Westbrook.The D was led by Mike Mowery,

coaches said.The team played “great” de-

fense in the second half, said coaches.

A great animated movie is good fun for everyone.

Right now, there are a couple of examples out there where one cartoon is being panned and the other lauded.

About the fi lmThe movie being praised

right now is this week’s Frozen. The turkey is Free Birds.

Disney’s Frozen arrived with much praise as well as kudos for the opening short. Free Birds has been dissed, even with a primo position right be-fore a holiday, Thanksgiving – and a plot about that holiday.

With Frozen, Disney has done something very wise. The knock against decades of animated Disney fi lms is that a man always rushes in to save the woeful female. Or the lead, pining girl/lady just wants a Prince Charming to lead her into a wonderful life.

Feminists railed against the Mouse House as pandering to little girls and perpetuating long-held sexist beliefs. The stu-dio always claimed to illustrate strong female fi gures – Ariel of The Little Mermaid, Mulan, Pocahontas – but the other side of the fence was not swayed.

Now comes Frozen and it is different. The second of two twists in the fi lm reveal that; for those with long animation memories, it’s a chuckle-induc-ing change from the male-hero-saves-the-day. (The fi rst twist is in “What works.”) For those girl-power inclined, it’s a big step forward for Disney.

Frozen has demolished poor Free Birds at the box offi ce. Aside from the Disney logo that entices all age groups, this latest Mouse House ef-fort is clearly aimed above the usual 8-year-old girl audience – by several years. (And it took several years to get the movie made; it’s based on “The Snow Princess,” a story by Hans Christian Anderson.)

The Movie Man took a six-year-old boy and a fi ve-year-old girl and both were bored

madly for over 30 minutes un-til Olaf the wacky snowman showed up. Then it attracted those younger folk.

Frozen is Disney’s fi rst tween girl animated movie and it hits it’s target big time.

The plot (spoiler)Anna (Kristen Bell) and

Elsa (Idina Menzel) are sisters, daughters of royalty. But Elsa has a magical secret – she has winter in her; she can freeze things, make it snow, etc. How-ever, if she can’t control her emotions, she can’t control her powers.

When an Elsa event injures feisty Anna, their parents de-cide to separate the sisters in the giant castle so no more harm will be done.

After their parents are killed (it is Disney), Elsa hesitantly ascends to the throne. With people entering the castle for the fi rst time in years, Anna immediately falls in love with Hans (Santino Fontana). When Elsa disapproves of the quickie marriage, an argument results where she accidently reveals her powers to the village. Elsa fl ees into the mountains – after her green kingdom is cursed with a perpetual winter.

Headstrong Anna heads out to fetch her sister who has cre-ated a mighty ice palace high

atop a mountain. Anna runs into an ice worker, Kristoff (Jonathan Groff) and his trusty reindeer Sven. Later, they meet Olaf (Josh Gad), a resourceful, accident-prone snowman who is the splitting image of one built by Anna and Elsa in their earlier childhood days.

Elsa inadvertently strikes Anna’s heart with an icy blast and she is taken by Kristoff to a group of trolls. The critters say the only hope for Anna is for her to fi nd true love. Krist-off races her back to the Duke. However, twist No. 1 arrives.

Anna turns into an icy statue while saving Elsa who has re-turned to the kingdom. Then comes the true love part, some-

thing different than any other Disney movie before.

And that’s followed by more love and happy endings. (This is Disney.)

What works (big spoiler)Frozen looks spectacular.

There are some mighty 3-D images but, even without it, the entire movie is incredible. The icy images are astonishing and there’s never a single time when the movie isn’t a visual wonder.

As usual, the best parts of Disney movies are not the hu-man characters but the animals.

Sven gets a few laughs, but the fi lm gets juiced when Olaf the snowman arrived.

Until then, the two children with the Movie Man were rest-less; Olaf changed that quickly.

The movie seems pre-made musically for adaptation to Broadway. It’s front-loaded with songs and a few of them are snappy. Olaf’s curiosity about what summer must be like is funny and witty.

The other big tune highlights the power chords of Menzel (in her second Disney role after Enchanted [2007, Movie Man No. 747, a 5]), “Let It Go.”

And the whirlwind, one-day romance of Hans and Anna is encapsulated in “Love is an Open Door.”

The opening short, Get a Horse, is very hyperactive and utilized the 3-D process for all it’s worth.

About that fi rst big twist teased earlier: Hans is evil.

What doesn’t workAnd this is a biggie: Elsa

is plenty underwritten. The reason for her magical pow-ers is never addressed and her story line is clearly secondary to Anna’s. Her side of the tale could’ve been substantially in-

creased and, in such stark con-trast to Anna, Elsa is far more interesting.

The fi rst 30 minutes of Fro-zen are deadly dull. That’s made especially evident after the ki-netic opening cartoon. Without question, keeping young boys interested in Frozen is a chore.

The stinger (end scene after the credits which, of course, takes forever) isn’t worth the wait.

Get ready to hunker down from another Arctic blast barrelling straight toward us

BY MARK K. CAMPBELLAfter surviving one of the

coldest Novembers on record, December is about to try to one up it.

Following several remark-ably mild days as the month started, December is about to get cold – and maybe icy.

Of course, that’s what weath-er forecasters said Nov. 22-23 when a cold rain arrived and was expected to turn to ice – as much as two inches.

Some trees were adorned with a glaze then, but the fro-

zen precipitation did not coat the roadways as feared.

It remains to be seen if this week will be any different.

Forecasters are guessing that things will begin to turn by Thursday.

Perhaps still stung by mis-prognosticating in November, weathermen/women are being more cautious this time.

Still, “bitterly cold” tempera-tures are expected to arrive by Thursday night.

And Friday and Saturday are projected to be icy and miser-

able.Such poor weather affects

plenty of scheduled activities.The late stages of high school

football playoffs are ongoing and many teams are trying to get games in on Thursday. The UIL said playing Monday is OK, too.

The already weakened holiday shopping season could take an-other hit if people can’t get out.

Even Azle’s annual Christ-mas Parade might be affected. If the weather ends up being horrid, the parade might be cancelled – which will make those hoping to ride one of the

14 floats unhappy – but indoor holiday activities at 404 West Main Street will go on.

Here’s the official look at the mighty Arctic front heading our way:

Thurs. – day rain, followed by 90 percent chance of rain, changing to freezing rain

Fri. – Rain, freezing rain, sleet. High: 33. Wind: N-15-20.

Sat. – more rain, freezing rain. High: 34. Wind: N-10-20.

Sun. – High 40, more rain, winds let up.

On Monday, the high shoots up to 45 with rain out of the forecast.

The late November cold blast arrived when Azle Christian School was playing for the state six-man championship in Springtown. These fans showed their support for the Crusaders and toughed out some mighty chilly conditions. Ice is expected by week’s end and throughout the weekend. Photo by Mark K. Campbell
