This Week in Azle History

15 Years Ago

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANTheir grade point averages are off

the charts. Extracurricular activities abound, as do both community service and volunteerism.

Not only classmates, but friends and even members of the same church, Thomas TJ Savage and Holly Cle-ments have been named Azle High School valedictorian and salutatorian, respectively.

Both Savage and Clements have grown up in Azle, attending AISD schools since kindergarten. However, they didnt meet until their freshman year at AHS.

Clements, the daughter of John and Meleasa Clements, has an older broth-er, Ryan, who attends Abilene Chris-tian University.

Her grade point average of 103.67 earned her the second highest aca-demic spot in the AHS Class of 2014 salutatorian.

Shes been a member of the Na-tional Honors Society throughout her career at AHS and currently serves as its vice president.

Shes also involved in PALs (Peer Assistance & Leadership), band, and INTERACT, overseen by the Azle Ro-tary Club.

As an active member of Azle First United Methodist Church, Clements participates in local and national mis-sion trips. She volunteers at the Ron-ald McDonald House and community events such as Relay for Life, UP-

WARD basketball, the Community Caring Centers Backpack Program, and Vacation Bible School.

She is an AP Scholar and was se-lected as Rotarian of the Month in Oc-tober 2013.

Clements says her goal has always been to be in the top ten students in her class.

Once I reached the number two spot, I de nitely made it my goal to maintain that position, she says. Be-coming salutatorian was hard work and perseverance. It took enduring overwhelming amounts of homework and not choosing the easy way out.

But Clements says it was all worth it. I am very blessed to have had the support of my family and the Azle community throughout my education. I am truly honored to represent the class of 2014.

Clements feels the accomplishment helps her continue on to achieve other goals and dreams.

I believe the lessons Ive learned on the path to salutatorian will stay with me as I start a new journey at Purdue University as a food science major, she said.

Savage is the son of Tom and Teri Savage of Azle.

His grade point average of 105.09 has earned him the exclusive valedic-torian honor.

Hes also received an appointment to the United States Naval Academy, where he plans to major in mathemat-

ics, commission into submarines, and eventually pursue a doctoral degree.

Savage says his hobbies and inter-ests include math and math history, Cross t, activities at the Azle First United Methodist Church, philosophy, and the uninhibited exercise of his constitutional rights.

His honors and awards are too nu-merous to list here, but include being named a Commended Student in the National Merit Scholarship Program, an AP Scholar with Distinction, Aca-demic All-State, Varsity Swim Team Captain, and Most Valuable Swimmer.

Savage also earned the rank of Ea-gle Scout in 2014.

He asserts several acknowledg-ments for being where he is today:

I acknowledge God, for whom, by whom, and through whom I have ac-complished what I have and will con-tinue to succeed in whatever I do; Savage says.

My parents, for loving me more than words can describe and teaching me more than any class; my teach-ers, for inspiring me, encouraging me, challenging me, and believing in me; nally, to any and all who give of themselves for others, for your actions inspired my decision to attend the Na-val Academy.

Savage says his parting words are found in James 2:26:

For as the body without the spirit is dead, so faith without works is dead also.

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANTwo fi res in as many weeks at the

Azle Oaks Apartments in the 700 block of Jarvis Lane have displaced a total of 19 residents in one building, according to Azle Fire Marshal Kenny Wilson.

The cause of the fi rst blaze, which occurred on the afternoon of Sunday, May 4, remains under investigation, Wilson said.

Seven people four adults and three children were forced to relocate from the four interior apartments as a result of the fi rst fi re.

Twelve people the remaining resi-dents in the buildings four exterior apartments were displaced follow-ing the second fi re, which occurred Wednesday, May 14, about 8:20 p.m.

Although the cause of the fi rst fi re remains undetermined, Wilson said his departments investigation into the second blaze has concluded that hot tar, used by a roofi ng crew making re-pairs after the fi rst fi re, likely caused

the second blaze.That building has a split elevation

one side is about two feet higher than the other side, Wilson explained. Theres a void space about 10-inches wide between the two, and some of that hot tar dripped into the void space onto some areas of wood and paper packing.

That fuel-rich environment smol-dered for some time, Wilson said, be-fore it fi nally erupted into fl ames.

Wilsons department continues to work with the complexs insurance company to determine a dollar amount of the damage caused by the two fi res.

We have also required them to have a structural engineer evaluate the entire building before it can be occu-pied again, Wilson said.

Firefi ghters from Azle Fire Depart-ment, Lake Worth FD, Eagle Moun-tain VFD, Briar VFD, LaJunta VFD, and Silver Creek VFD as well as the American Red Cross, all responded to the scene for the second fi re.

Azle High School seniors (l-r): Jennifer Rue, Michael Sardina, Mariah Slick, and junior Tyler Baker display certificates they received from Russell Feed and Supply in Azle, where they worked throughout the school year as part of the AHS Occupational Preparation Program. OPP is a community-based program that prepares students for future employment opportunities. Susan Herring, who has been an educator within the Azle ISD for 25 years, is the teachers assistant in OPP and works directly with these students and other entities in the community like the Azle Memorial Library to provide educational and occupational opportunities for students.

By MARk k. cAMPBeLLOn May 19, scores of purple-

shirted Azle High School stu-dents disembarked at the Azle Memorial Library on Main Street.

But the teenage horde wasnt there to check out books or movies.

Instead, the group fanned out and worked on the exterior of the building, planting trees, weeding, and spreading com-post.

The group was comprised mostly of AHS freshmen, part of Team Leadership; the group also spruced up nearby Central Park.

Those ninth graders were teamed with a high school rep-resentative of PAL Peer As-sistance & Leadership.

While the event was a suc-cess, even bigger ones could loom.

AHS principal Sam Robin-son noted that he wanted to see a 4-to-6 hour cleanup next year and expand the event to include even more students.

Robinsons ultimate goal is

to have the cleanup occur three times annually and include up to 50 percent of the AHS stu-dent body.

Future cleanups would not be limited to the library and Central Park: We would meet wherever the citys needs are at

the time.Sponsor Lisa Helm said,

The kids love it. They got down and dirty and weeded, shoveled, spread mulch, and cleaned.

They took pride in what they did and did it with a smile.

Azle citizens and fire department supporters are invited to attend an informational meeting at 7 p.m. Wednesday, May 28, concerning the establishment of a private foundation to support the Azle Fire Department.

The meeting will be held at the Azle Fire De-partments Central Station located at 900 Lakev-iew Drive in Azle.

According to officials, the Foundations pri-mary areas of focus will likely include:

The preservation of the history and traditions of AFD;

Support of the AFD firefighters and their families;

Foster greater community interest and knowledge in policies and standards directly im-

pacted by AFD; Serve as a private source of fundraising and

financial support of AFD.The purpose of the meeting will be to gauge

community support and interest in the estab-lishment of such a Foundation, seek input from representatives of AFD as to the type and nature of support that would most benefit AFD, indi-vidual firefighters and the families of AFD, and to identify and recruit potential board members and other stakeholders essential for the success of such a Foundation.

For additional information, contact R. Lee Barrett at 817-692-8954 or r.lee.barrett@gmail.com or call Fire Chief Will Scott at 817-444-7108.

nut Creek Elementary will start June 16.

The expanse will be paved and will provide necessary es-sential parking spaces when

high school construction be-gins in earnest during the next school year.

Feeding Azle youthDavid Smith, AISD child

nutrition director, said the sum-mer meal program Sodexo/Texas Hunger Initiative has a kickoff planned for June 4 from 10:30-11 a.m. at Azle Elemen-tary, the Rock School.

Smith said the program ex-pects to feed around 10,000 kids 18 and under during the summer.

The program will run at sev-en AISD campuses, Smith said.

He added that no child will be turned down, that every young person can eat; they do not have to be in the Azle school district.

Well feed everybody free, he said, adding that no ID is re-quired.

Also getting meals during the summer will be campers on campuses and ESL students.

About 50 percent of AISD youth eat under the reduced meal program during the school year, he said.

The summer numbers of 10,000 pale compared to the 6,500 weekly that the program feeds during the school year.

Smith said he is leaving for a job in the Keller ISD but will remain in Azle during the sum-mer program.

Plaudits for successSeveral groups that had ex-

ceptional success in their en-deavors were presented to the board.

The auto tech team, decked out in stylish attire, was lauded for the astonishing number of medals, ribbons, and accolades they earned from the district level all the way to state.

The Lady Hornet softball team, still alive in playoffs, earned applause. Azle plays Aledo starting May 22 for a state Final Four berth.

The boys soccer team won Azles first-ever Hornet post-season match; all were intro-duced.

Track coaches praised Azles two state qualifiers silver medalist pole vaulter Sarah Hall and 400-meter dasher Isaac Marquez.

Band Director Shawn Mur-phy extoled the state champion drumline. Representing the group were Garrett Gibbons and Shelbi Burgett.

Also lauded but not present were the AHS math and science team and Christina Hill, a high school career tech student.

Other businessIncumbent board members

Eric Loeffelholz and Clay Doyle were sworn in after the

election votes were certified.By a unanimous 6-0 vote

trustee Sam Merck was absent Bill Lane retained board presidency, Loeffel-holz stayed as vice-president, and Shannon Hart retained his duties as secretary.

It was announced that the annual Azle Education Foun-dation Grant Giveaway is set for Friday, May 23.

Forty-two grants totaling $47,000 will be given out at all campuses beginning at

8:30 a.m. at the high school.Other activities on the

near-horizon include the an-nual Showcase May 22 from 6-8 p.m., graduation at Will Rogers Coliseum in Fort Worth May 30 at 7 p.m., and the AISD Employee Appreci-ation Breakfast/Awards Cer-emony June 2 at 8 a.m.

The next board meeting is Monday, June 16 and will feature Hornet Academy graduation at the high school at 6 p.m.

by darlene holmesWe had a wonderful 28th An-

nual Open House and Health Fair last week.

There were several vendors bearing lovely door prizes and the community donated many others. Everyone who ate lunch with us received a nice prize. I think everyone left happy and a good time was had by all.

Many, many special thank yous go out to all who came and had lunch with us and even more thank yous to everyone who donated prizes for the se-niors.

We had a pretty good-sized

AARP Smart Driver class this time about 10, I think. Our next class will be July 17. We try to schedule them every oth-er month now and we seem to have a better turnout for them.

Our May birthday and anni-versary party was Wednesday, May 21.

Well be closed for the Me-morial Day holiday on May 26.

Our next No Hot SCS Meal Day will be Thursday, May 29, and it will be a sponsored one. Theyll play after lunch.

Dennis Walton has come back and is playing dominoes with us again.

Ada Mae Horton also was able to come back.

We truly miss our folks when they have to drop out for a while.

Come by and have a cup of coffee and meet the Lunch Bunch. We have lots of food, fun and fellowship here Mon-day through Friday.

Were located in the B.J. Clark Community Center and Annex in pretty Ash Creek Park just behind and below the old library.

Come on by and make some memories with us. Youll be glad you did.

Senior Spotlight

by mark k. campbellMembers of the Interact

Club at Azle High School were lauded by their parent group, the Azle Rotary Club, at the latters May 14 meeting.

A presentation by Interact members Sheridan Rose and Alison Shillings detailed the expanse of work performed by the group under the direction of sponsor Brenda Marlett, an AHS math teacher.

The Interact Club began its good deeds before the 2013-14 school year began. Mem-bers took on the daunting task of clearing out a courtyard at Eagle Heights Elementary.

Throughout the school year, Interactors lended a hand at

a slew of events, including: The Azle Memorial Library

Festival Sting Fling Relay for Life Azle Basketball Tourna -

ment Azle Lake RunRose said members went the

extra mile when getting in-volved with the Rotary Clubs annual distribution of boxes of food at Thanksgiving.

Several Interactors elabo-rately decorated the boxes with holiday themes.

Another program that ben-efited the public was Jeans for Teens, a contest that chal-lenged groups to gather as many pairs of jeans as possible for homeless and displaced

families.The self-professed ultra-

competitive Marlett said Inter-act gathered several hundred pairs of jeans. And, while Azle did not win the competition: We will next year.

While the end of school is nearing, Interactors still have several projects on their dock-ets.

Members will work the an-nual Azle Showcase Thursday, May 22 as well as gather shoes for the needy in the Soles for Souls program.

Tentative plans are under-way for Interactors to walk 18 miles to bring awareness to suicide in a program called Out of the Darkness Walk.

Interact members acknowl-

edged at the Rotary luncheon were Logan Fowler, Jonah Clifton, Taylor Anderson, Madison Brechbuhl, Sarah

Shillings, Kalin Clark, Rose, and A. Schillings.

Rotary Club President Steve Parker gave Marlett a bouquet

of flowers and a card in appre-ciation for her hours of dedi-cated work to the youth orga-nization.

It is a special honor to announce the retirement of Sally Dieb, a longtime teacher here at Azle Elementary. Sally was born not far from here in Fort Worth, Texas. Throughout her academic pursuits, she has earned a number of degrees, including a Bachelor of Arts in French at Texas Tech, a Special Education Certification from Texas Womens University and Texas Christian, and a Masters Degree in Social Workfrom the University of Texas at Arlington.In her career as an educator, Ms. Dieb has left her mark on many students in several schools, including Forest Oak Middle School 6th Grade Annex, Monnig Middle School, McLean Middle School, and her favorite, Northside High School. She has been at AzleElementary since 1997 working with Principals Chelsa Holder, Darcy Simmons, Ro McKinney, and Erin Deel. Ms. Dieb wore many hats as an educator. At the high school level, she taught French, Journalism, Resource Biology, English, Reading, Math, World History, American History, Geometry, and Algebra. At the Middle School level, she taught Resource Science, Reading, English, Social Studies, and Math. In her final tenure as an Elementary School Teacher, she was able to teach many of the same subjects. Regrettably she never taught elementary Science, even though she requested it oftenHer strength and compassion will be remembered by the many students who passed through her classrooms. While we are sad to see her leave as a teacher, we expect to see her often.If there is a soccer game, or other outdoor sporting event, look for Ms. Dieb. Shell probably be out there, cheering enthusiastically. Congratulations Sally, it has been an honor to work with you and learn from you. You have certainly made your mark here at Azle ISD, and you will be missed. We wish you the best in your retirement and new adventures and interests yet to be discovered.

The wrestling season does not end at UIL state at least for some styles of competi-tion.

Azle High School coach Chris Allen recently took several athletes of the Azle Freestyle Wrestling Club to a tough competition.

Still, several local youth shone, he said.

Three girls current state champion Jesse Grubbs, Ruby Ariosa, and Lauren Dale won the state level on a Satur-day and qualified for the Asics U.S. Nationals in Fargo, North Dakota later this summer.

The trio will compete as part of Team Texas.

Competing the next day was much tougher.

Allen said, Sunday was

mainly about Body Bar Wom-ens Nationals. The junior division is for [ages] 20 and under, so all of our girls were wrestling girls who are wres-tling in college already.

Those col-legiate athletes were going all-out, trying to earn berths on Team USA and a competition in Slovakia.

Our girls fought hard and came out with a lot of experi-ence from the tournament, Allen noted.

Grubbs placed highest, sixth overall.

Ariosa took seventh place at 44 kilos and scored a take-down in all her victories.

Dale posted a mark of 2-2 but did not place.

Many boys were compet-ing in their first season of freestyle, Al-len recalled.

Trevor Rus-sell finished second in both freestyle and Greco.

He has re-ally been focused and improv-ing, Allen said. He really got out there and competed hard, taking home medals in both divisions.

Our girls

were wrestling girls...in college

already.Chris Allen

Three girls earn Team Texas berths

The Hornet baseball team just missed the playoffs after a late-season push in District 5-4A.

Several Azle athletes were lauded for their diamond play, earning post-season acco-lades.

Two Hornets achieved First Team All-Dis-trict status.

Junior pitch-er Tommy Kay and junior out-fielder Trevor Boiles both were selected as among the best at their re-spective posi-tions.

Two more Hornets landed on the 5-4A Second Team outfielder Trey Ramos, a sophomore, and sec-ond baseman Tyler Albers, a junior.

Four additional Azle hard-ballers were named Honorable Mention, coach Anthony Bar-

ron said.That quartet, all seniors:

Jesse Salisbury, Logan Woody, Trenton Woolcott, and Josh Hilton.

Hornet Dev-on Oliver was named All-Academic in 5-4A.

At the an-nual awards b a n q u e t , Coach Barron passed out four awards to the top players for the 2014 sea-son.

Boiles was named the Azle Most Valuable Player.

The Out-standing Pitch-er was Kay.

Woody won the Golden Glove Award

while Ramos claimed the Big Stick Award.

Barron will conduct a base-ball camp June 3-6 on the AHS campus. Fees are $50 then $40 for additional family members.

By MArK K. CAMPBeLLThe big matchup has arrived.Azle and Aledo district ri-

vals for years are set to face off in the regional finals after each squad won its Region I semifinal clashes.

Azle (35-6) demolished Can-yon at Abilene Christian Uni-versity, winning the first two games of the three-game series, 18-0 and 13-6.

The poor Lady Eagles suf-fered through an explosion of

the Lady Hornet bats.AHS walloped a remarkable

36 hits and scored 31 runs.In the opener, Samantha

Bradley smashed her first two-run home run. She would hit another two-run four-bagger in

the series-clinching victory.Canyon had never advanced

that far into the postseason.A 13-run sixth inning mercy-

ruled the Lady Eagles in game one.

In game two, Azle actually trailed 2-0 for one and a half innings. A 7-run bottom of the second put an end to that.

Some Lady Hornets enjoyed exceptional box scores. Brad-ley went 5-for-9 with 6 RBI and 4 runs scored.

Valerie Matlock scored 5 times. Raelyn Temple went 5-for-9 with 5 RBI and 3 runs scored. Nicole Aniasco dou-bled twice among 4 hits.

Makenzi Harris (18-4) struck out 10 batters to win game one.

Bradley (17-2) got the game two victory.

Coach Tracy Tadlock said, We played pretty well against Canyon. We hit up and down the lineup.

That set up the No. 8 Lady Hornets to move on and face Aledo, No. 6.

The Lady Cats swept Wolf-forth Frenship.

While Aledo has a higher ranking in the polls, Azle de-feated the Lady Cats early in the season in a tournament.

Tadlock expects a tough chal-lenge against the veteran Aledo

squad.Aledo is a good club. They

have pretty good pitching, very good defense, and an offense that can score a bunch of runs, the Azle coach said.

We are going to have to play our best softball of the year.

He added, I think this is a very evenly matched Regional Final, and the team that mini-mizes mistakes and executes will be moving on.

To the dream: Austin and the Final Four.

Friday, May 234 p.m.

The first tournament for the Azle High School 7-on-7 foot-ball team was mighty suc-cessful.

The Hornets won the Burle-son non-qualifi-er, going unde-feated in seven games.

Azle took down North Crow-ley, Mansfield Timberview, Trinity A, Trinity B, Burleson Centennial, Burleson B, and, in the championship game, Waxa-hachie.

The Hornets, coached by John Crow, massively out-scored rivals, 331 to 109.

The first qualifying 7-on-7 tournament for Azle is set for Saturday, May 31.

Before then, the Hornets will gather one final time to cap

spring prac-tices.

On Friday, May 23, the annual Green-White game will be con-ducted.

The intra-squad clash has been moved from 6 p.m. to 4 to allow fans to get over to Saginaw Chisholm Trail to watch game two of the Lady Hornets Regional Finals against Aledo.

After the Green-White game, summer activities for foot-ballers include working out at the Performance Course that begins June 9 and a possible trip to state 7-on-7.

Most people recog-nize Molly Brown as the lady who survived the sink-ing of the Titanic in 1912 and was honored in a Broadway play with Tam-my Grimes in the leading role and later in a movie with Debbie Reynolds.

In a little booklet written in 1956 by Caroline Bancroft, I found the true story of Mollys life without all the exaggerations that the play and movie included. Mrs. Brown would have loved the two productions, be-cause she thrived on publicity, telling personally many tall tales about her life. She would have been happy at the Molly, too, for she tried to get people to call her that. Her name was Margaret, and family called her Mag-gie.
