This Week in Azle History
1 Year Ago
BY MARK K. CAMPBELLAnother state tournament. Another
gold medal.Azle’s Jesse Grubbs not only repeat-
ed as a state wrestling champion but won the elite MOW – Most Outstand-ing Wrestling – title, too.
At Garland ISD’s Culwell Center Feb. 14-15, Grubbs began a quest for something that had never been achieved in AISD’s athletic history: back-to-back state gold medals.
Her state journey started with an opening clash against Alex Arevalo from San Antonio Brooks Academy.
Grubbs (35-1) pinned her foe at the 1:03 mark.
Next came Huntsville’s Christian Walker (26-10). Grubbs got another pin, this time at the 2:58 mark.
A third match awaited on Valen-tine’s Day in the semifi nals; the win-ner would move on to the gold medal round.
Grubbs faced Amarillo’s Alexis Tarango (40-4). It was a tussle. But Grubbs earned a 3-0 victory and the slot at the top of the bracket.
The Lady Hornet didn’t wrestle again until the evening of Saturday, Feb. 15.
Her opponent was familiar, Clarc Walker of Frisco Heritage.
Grubbs’ only 2014 loss came to Walker very early in the season.
In two latter rematches, Grubbs had won both – including their last meet-ing in the Region 2 fi nals.
This fourth fi ght was for all the mar-bles.
A veteran, Grubbs wrestled steadily and claimed a 5-1 victory and the gold medal.
Coaches Chris and Monica Allen leapt from their chairs near the mat then hugged Grubbs.
Soon she was surrounded by fans and teammates amid the cheers of thousands in attendance.
Chris Allen said, “Her path to get this one was tough; she beat the sec-ond place, third place, and fourth place in her weight class to win it.”
The gold medal was amazing, but the cherry on top was yet to come.
After the tourney, Grubbs was
picked as the best female wrestler at the state meet, the MOW.
Allen said that was a memorable event.
“Even being a two-time state cham-pion, Jesse had never earned a MOW
award. It has always been a goal of hers and what could be more fi tting for her to earn one at the last tournament of her UIL career,” he said.
Allen added that the MOW is sel-dom given to a competitor in the upper
weight classes.It capped a career the likes of which
had never been seen by an Azle athlete.“I am proud to know her as the
fi rst two-time state champion of Azle wrestling,” he said.
BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANThe $20 million bond package presented by the
Board of Trustees for the Azle Independent School District at the November General Election passed by a wide margin, but it turns out the projected tax increase represented by the board were not exactly correct.
In fact, taxpayers will pay substantially less than the amounts projected prior to the election.
The board points to the leadership of Superinten-dent Dr. Ray Lea and fi nancial management of Mon-ica Miller, coupled with some sound, conservative fi scal policies and smart bond counselors as reasons for the cost of the bond package being remarkably lower than originally anticipated.
Prior to the election, district offi cials projected the average homeowner could expect the increase to the tax rate to cost an additional $2.11 per month.
Following the successful sale of the bonds to investors Thursday, Feb. 13, that same family will actually pay only $1.41 more each month.
AISD Finance Director Monica Miller said she believes it was the perfect time to sell the bonds.
Joshua McLaughlin of BOSC was at Monday night’s meeting of the board to present a summa-ry of the bond sale, and every aspect of his report
glowed.According to McLaughlin’s summary, the dis-
trict had projected net total principal and interest payments for the bond to be $37,665,000.
Upon the sale of the bonds at a lower interest rate, those principal and interest payments are now calculated to be $35,715,361 – a savings of $1.49 million over the life of the bonds.
The savings are due to a lower interest rate ob-tained at the time of the sale, McLaughlin said.
BOSC and the district had anticipated a rate of 5.00 percent; however, due to recent triple A rat-ings from Standard and Poor as well as Fitch, the district was able to sell the bond package at a true interest cost of 4.08 percent.
The savings also translate to a lesser tax increase to the district’s Interest and Sinking (I & S) tax rate of 1.25 cents ($0.0125).
The district had anticipated to increase that rate by 1.87 cents ($0.0187).
The board also saw a presentation by Sloan Har-ris of VLK Architects about plans for the Career and Technology Center and Competition Gymna-sium the bond package will fund.
That project is now slated to be complete by the time school starts in August 2015.
BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANJust one individual stepped forward
to run for offi ce in the greater metro-politan Azle area this week.
That area includes the cities of Azle and Pelican Bay, the town of Lake-side, and the Azle Independent School District.
City of AzleIt’s still all three incumbents de-
fending their seats in Azle.Dr. William Chambers in Place 1,
David McClure in Place 2 and Rouel Rothenberger in Place 5 each fi led to run early in the fi ling period and so far, none faces a challenger.
City Secretary Norma Zenk said on Tuesday, Feb. 18, the city could save almost $10,000 in election fees if all three candidates run unopposed.
Azle ISD Board of TrusteesThe situation is much the same in
the school district election.Incumbents in Place 1, Erik Loeffel-
holz, and Place 2, Clay Doyle, are thus far running unopposed for their seats.
Finance Director Monica Miller es-timated the cost of holding an election to be about $8,700.
Town of LakesideThe incumbents in Lakeside remain
unchallenged, as well, according to Town Secretary Debra McLemore.
Jim Elliott, Dale Martin, and Kim Ware each fi led early to defend Place 1, Place 2 and Place 3, respectively.
McLemore said she estimates the cost of holding an election to be about $4,000 – dollars that could be saved if there are no challengers to the in-cumbents.
Pelican BayRyan Tincher has fi led to defend his
Place 1 seat on the council in Pelican Bay, and Kenneth Wrinkle (who re-quests to be listed on the ballot as K. Wrinkle) has thrown his hat into the
ring for Place 2.However, no one has fi led so far to
run for the mayor’s seat, according to Teri Anthony, city secretary for the city.
Place 2 is currently occupied by Tom Petty, who, as mayor pro tem, has been performing any duties required of the mayor.
The elected Mayor of Pelican Bay, Clifford Tynes, died unexpectedly in early December 2013.
City Secretary Teri Anthony es-timated election costs to be several thousand dollars in that city.
Early voting
Early voting dates, times and loca-tions are not yet set in stone.
While the dates will likely be April 29 through May 6, specifi c times and locations are still being confi rmed.
Some locations have been con-fi rmed.
Azle voters who live in Tarrant County may vote early at the B.J. Clark Annex.
Azleites in Parker County can vote early at Azle Masonic Lodge #601.
Pelican Bay voters can vote early at the B.J. Clark Annex, as well.
Early voting for Lakeside will take place at the Sheriff’s Offi ce North Pa-trol Division in Lake Worth.
Grubbs earns 2nd gold medal
Lady Hornet Jesse Grubbs just won her second consecutive state wrestling championship in Gar-land. Plus, the senior was awarded the MOW: Most Outstanding Wrestler at the annual gathering of the best in Texas. MORE PHOTOS ON PAGES 12A AND 15A! Photo by Mark K. Campbell

Bond package to cost taxpayers less than expected
Filing continues, but most seats unopposed so far
Residents of a home in the 7800 block of Eastland Avenue in the Ella Young Addition near Lake Worth were startled by a loud crash when what appeared to be a brand new Ford Mustang plowed through their yard onto the front porch and hit the home Monday afternoon, Feb. 17. Although the accident report was not yet available at press time, an Azle News reporter witnessed Tarrant County Sheriff’s deputies take the female driver into custody after she failed a fi eld sobriety test.

He played football there, but he made sacrifi ces and gave up his posi-tion on his team there on another very successful team, to move his senior year to Aledo, to remain with his family. At 6’2”, 265 pounds, it’s not easy to live in a hotel room with six family members until the family home is ready. And it is not easy for any child to move his senior year, leaving his friends and a comfort zone with a stellar reputation behind him.
Ernie’s mother, Louisa, is an electrical engineer. She earned her degree from Lafayette College. Ernie’s father, Jerry, attended Binghamton University and is an engineer employed with Lockheed. Maternal grandparent’s Filomena and Ernest Fabrizio came in for the signing from Endicott, N.Y. Ernie was named after his grandfather. Ernie’s paternal grandparents live in Endicott as well. They are Charlotte and Jerry McQuade. His siblings’ include Mary, Georgia, Jimmy, Michael and Jerry Jr., who is a fresh-man at Midwestern State.

Redic-Johnson and Marq Johnson, signed to play for Carey Fowler at Tarleton State in the fall.
Whatley is an all-district tight end and two-year state champion-ship ring-holder. He was pulled up for the scout team as a sophomore and was recently listed in the top 10% player of the year poll.
Jordan MittieThe 6’2”, 215 lbs. linebacker,
Jordan Mittie signed a letter of intent to play football for the U.S. Naval Academy in Annapolis, Md. Mittie has been playing football since the third grade in Aledo. His pee wee coach was David Davis. He’s been playing football with most of the senior varsity group on his team since then. Jordan’s mother, Shana describes him as a child who has been playing football in full pads and
one who, ”likes to hit.”In 2013 Mittie was the defen-
sive team captain. He was awarded numerous awards this season such as:
First Down Club of Fort Worth Defensive Player of the Year Semi-Finalist, Class 4A Division 11 State Championship Game defensive MVP, District 7-4A Defensive Player of the Year, District 7-4A academic all-district team, Associated Press 2nd-team all-state
Jordan’s sisters are Logan and Madison. His father, Jeff, played basketball and baseball at Missouri
Western State College and now serves as the TCU women’s basket-ball coach. Shana, Jordan’s mother, played volleyball and basketball for Washburn University.
Tristan StaryTristian Stary signed to play for
the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colo.
Stary, a 5’11” 195 lbs. defensive end, is the son of Joel and Micki Stary of Aledo. He earned 2nd-team all-district defensive end, 2nd-team academic all-state and 1st-team aca-demic all-district for his 2013 varsity
season. He is a fi rst -varsity letter-man.
Tori GoreTori Gore, right fi elder, for the
Ladycat softball team, signed to play for Alvin Community College. She is an academic all-district recipient. In 2013 she received 2nd-team all-dis-trict and in the 2010-11 season she received honorable mention.
Tori is the daughter of Dan and Karen Gore. She is the granddaugh-ter of Bob and Eileen Sarney from Phoenix, Ariz.
Tori began her softball career
early when she was 7. Her father helped her learn to play her posi-tion as pitcher and right fi eld. Later, Sheri Warrner took over as her pitch-ing coach and Mari McGuire became her batting coach. Through the years, Tori has learned to respect and enjoy all four of her mentors in the sport: Her father, Coach Lemons, McGuire and Warrner.

Azle High School’s Emer-ald Dazzlers brought home a slew of awards from the Crowd Pleasers competition at Keller Timber Creek High School held Saturday, Feb. 15.
Facing their toughest compe-tition to date, the Dazzlers of-ficers and team came away with the Super Sweepstakes trophy for receiving a score of 90 or above on each of their routines, said director Julia Webb.
Dazzlers’ officers were awarded Judges’ Favorite Cho-reography for their jazz routine and second runner-up in hip-hop.
As a team, the Dazzlers were named second runner-up for their lyrical routine, behind first place Colleyville Heritage and first runner-up Arlington Juan Seguin.
The Dazzlers team was also second runner-up in the jazz routine competition behind first place Byron Nelson and first runner-up Colleyville Heritage.
The team was named first runner-up in the pom routine competition behind Colleyville Heritage.
The AHS team picked up the first place trophy in the hip-hop division. The team’s cumula-tive scores fetched the fourth runner-up Grand Champion slot in the High School Medi-um Team division.
Soloist Kayla Karnes re-ceived a Superior rating for her dance solo in individual com-petition.
“I am so proud of their ac-complishments. The schools in our size category have tra-ditionally been the powerhouse teams and our Dazzlers are placing next to them or shut-ting them out,” said Webb after the competition. “They beat my alma mater Boswell in every team dance category.”
The Dazzlers will compete Saturday, Feb. 22 at Weather-ford High School in the Dance-line State competition.
A class of Walnut Creek El-ementary fourth graders an-swered a challenge that left them seeing Stars – Dallas Stars, that is.
Amy Tong’s fourth grade class answered the Stars Foun-dation’s “Stick with Reading” program and successfully read 364 books during the month of October, 2013.
“The Stars Foundation is ex-tremely generous in supporting education and working with children,” Tong said. “One of those efforts is the ‘Stick with Reading’ program to encourage students to read to further their knowledge.”
Tong, an avid Stars fan, had already established a connec-tion to the organization when
she was honored by the Foun-dation during its annual recog-nition of Teacher of the Year recipients.
Because of that relationship and the impressive achieve-ment of her students, the Stars invited the entire class to attend a game.
The activity was at no cost to the school or students. The Stars provided the tickets, and the bus transportation was funded by Justin Berg of Ex-treme Lawn Care.
Permission slips were sent home and every student in the class participated.
Parents were offered dis-counted tickets and many joined the activity. In all about 50 stu-dents and family attended.
The night was a learning experience in so many ways, Tong said.
“Students were grabbing their phones to take pictures of the Dallas skyline which many had never seen, especially at night with all the lights making it seem magical,” Tong said. “An unexpected treat was the fact that it was ‘Hat Night’ and everyone was given a Stars cap as they entered.”
Before the game started, the students were allowed down by the glass to watch warm-ups. Many of the Stars players tossed pucks to the students for souvenirs.
“It was a learning experience also since many students had never watched hockey,” Tong
said. “By the time the game ended, the Stars had many young new fans who under-stood the game. Best of all, the Stars won!”
Tong said the students could
not have represented Azle any better; they were incredibly well behaved.
In fact, she has already re-ceived a note from the Stars saying how impressed they
were with the class. “Each student has already
sent a thank you note to the team,” Tong said. “Now the only problem is the kids want to do it again.”
Dazzlers add to trophy case

An artist, Roberts said she has sold paintings to people throughout the Metroplex.
Bryan has a passion for bak-ing and cooking, she said.

LEGAL PUBLIC NOTICES
As a life-long resident of Parker County, I feel compelled to write and let the people of Parker County know just how important the current race for the County Judge is to our county’s future and why Judge Mark Riley is the only candidate we can trust to lead the county for the next 4 years.
As taxpayers and law-abiding citizens, we deserve qualified, proven performance from the CEO of our county. The job of County Judge is the highest elected position in county government. It is not an honorary title to be used later as resume padding for some other perceived “higher office.” During my lifetime, I have witnessed the administrations of 7 different Parker County Judges. And Mark Riley is quite possibly the most conservative county CEO that I have ever known.
The position of County Judge is an around-the-clock, 24 hour-a-day, 7 days-a-week, full-time commitment to our county and its people. It is not a part-time job for a private sector land developer with possible conflicts of interest adverse to those of the citizen he seeks to govern. As taxpayers and law-abiding citizens, we expect and deserve top performance from the CEO of our county. It is not simply an honorary title or a position to use later as resume padding. As I have observed Mark over the last 16 years, it is an around-the-clock, 24 hour-a-day, 7 days-a-week, labor-of-love commitment to a county and its people. Mark also has a staunch commitment for law enforcement.
Perhaps just as important as meeting the usual need of your citizens, Mark Riley has been out-front collaboration with state and regional transportation authorities in order to solve traffic and road problems. Mark’s success in the transportation arena did not come overnight. Rather, it required years of on-the-job, pull-up-your-sleeves, hard-work and experience to obtain the trust necessary to earn a position of authority on the Regional Transportation Board as well as other important commission that impact the future of Parker County. We cannot afford to lose such a powerful seat at the regional transportation table at this time in our county’s history.
We cannot afford to waste time while a newcomer cuts its teeth on issues that need immediate attention. We cannot risk allowing Mark’s opponent, a newcomer, to use the highest position in our county’s government for personal gain.
Well, for me and my family, Parker County is our home. It is where we go to church and where we send our children and grandchildren to school. “We are proud to stand up and support Judge Mark Riley because he, too, is committed to standing up for Parker County - For today and for tomorrow, for the long haul.”

We have had a busy week here at the center – we all had our running shoes on to keep up.
I fixed stew and cornbread Feb. 10 for our No SCS meal day.
We had our birthday and an-niversary party Wednesday with cake and ice cream, chick-enfoot on Thursday afternoon, and we had our Valentine’s Day party on Friday.
Lonnie Holt and Joyce Glov-er were crowned King and Queen.
Feb. 17 was our 25th anni-versary for the Senior Center. Where did the time go?!
I guess it doesn’t seem so long ago as I’ve never looked on this as work or a job. I was lucky enough to fall into it and I love it and the participants dearly. I can’t believe I get paid for having so much fun.
We’ll have our anniversary Open House Health Fair in May during “Older American’s Month.” The weather is a bit more predictable then.
Friday, Feb. 21 is Produce Day. Our business meeting will be during lunch; it only takes a few minutes reading January reports.
Our next No SCS meal day is Monday, Feb. 24.
We’ll have our medicine re-
view program again. Delores Little from the agency will be out to review seniors’ medica-tions.
Just gather up everything you take – prescriptions and over the counter – and bring every-thing in and let her check them out for you – just so you’ll be sure nothing is mixing with something else.
If she gets four signed up, their name goes into a pot for a chance at a $25 gift certificate.
She will be here on Food Bank Day, Friday March 7.
Everyone is glad for the change of weather. It sure beats ice and cold. Stop in and check us out; there’s bound to be something here you’d like.
We have lots of food and fel-lowship here Monday through Friday each week.
We have two very good ex-ercise classes in the Emanuel Building. Monday and Wednes-day classes start a 9:30 a.m.
Hope and Johnni Band plays for our monthly birthday and anniversary parties each month. They are very good.

There’s a new place in the area if you’re looking to hold a memorable party.
Azle Deer Cove, located at 101 South Pearson Lane across from Allsup’s, offers two distinctive venues.
Owner Sara Langston oversees a pair of options at Deer Cove.
The smaller venue – Casita – can handle parties of 65-75.
The larger venue is Cedar Hall. While still under construction, it will eventually be capable of entertaining 75 to 300 people.
“It has a spectacular view of the wooded land – perfect for outdoor weddings and parties,” Sara said.
The Casita is fully decorated for a “stress-free party,” Sara said. “All you have to do is show up.”
The facility has a full working kitchen. “You can have it catered or bring in your own private personal chef,” the owner said.
Sara knows Azle. She recently retired
after teaching at Azle Junior High School for 30 years.
“I loved the students in Azle,” she said. “We have a great group of kids.”
About this brand new business, Sara said, “This is the perfect business for me because I like people and am passionate about decorating, landscaping, and parties.
“I’m also a ‘fire freak’!”Both venues have outdoor fire pits.Clearly, Azle Deer Cove, which had its
ribbon cutting Jan. 21, offers a unique party experience.
Sara is offering a bargain to get to know her new business – up to half off – and she takes special appointments 7 days a week.
Take a look at her web site at www.TheDeerCove.com and “Like” the venue on Facebook.
And call 817-501-7089 to secure your date for a one-of-a-kind event at a facility that will meet and exceed your expectations.
Big or small, Azle Deer Cove can host them all
Two new venues with a view canhandle events of up to 300 people
Sonja Dildy, Liz Hard, Sara Langston and Gill Boatman celebrated the opening of Azle Deer Cove in January and can’t wait to help you throw your event.
Your new venue for weddings, events and small parties.

There are consequence to actions, good or bad. I found a story in which a brief courtesy of one of our famous American heroes may have influ-
enced great good. This was in addition to his heroic actions that made the his-tory books.
John Paul Jones is that person, but that was not his original last name. Born in the parish of Kirkbean, Scot-land (yes, another Scot) on July 6, 1747, at age twelve he became a ship boy on a British merchant vessel sail-ing for Virginia. An older brother owned a business in Fredericksburg, so he visited him. However, he con-tinued to go to sea. His abilities and steadfastness rewarded him with the command of a merchant ship by age 21.
In 1773 mutinous sailors attacked him, and he killed one of them in self defense. His superior supported him. Court was not in session on a nearby British island, so he left, intending to return if needed for trial. Friends sug-
gested that he change his name, so he added the very common surname of Jones, and became anonymous in the colonies.
When the colonies rebelled and commissioned a navy in December, 1775, Jones became a first lieutenant on a frigate, Alfred. Engaging the Brit-ish, he captured merchant ships and destroyed others. Good at maneuver-ing, he escaped from ships faster than his own. Jealousy of other American commanders prevented promotion at first, but John Hancock and Robert Morris saw Jones's abilities.
In June 1777 he was given a small ship, the Ranger. In it he sailed to the shores of England in hopes of burning a ship yard. He captured a British ship, the Drake on April 24, 1778 off the coast of England. The English called him a pirate. At first, politics contin-ued to keep him from the command of a larger ship, so he appealed to the French allies of the Americans and obtained an old, slow ship called the Duras. He renamed it the Bonhomme Richard.
In a fight on September 23, 1779 helped by French frigates, he faced one British ship of 50 guns and an-other with 22. In a close fight, he locked his Richard with one of the Brit-ish ones, pre-paring to board. However, one of the Ameri-can ships fired on both of the ships, and the Richard was
set on fire. Water began to collect in the hold. The gunner of the Richard, believing that Jones and his second in command were dead, offered to surrender to the British. Overhearing him, Jones made his famous cry, “I have not yet begun to fight!”
One of his crew threw a grenade
on board the British ship, the Serapis, and after a three hour fight, the British gave up. Jones and his crew boarded the Serapis, but saw their own ship burn and sink with its American flag still flying.
An event with a western connection occurred in 1778 when Jones landed at St. Mary's Isle on the coast of Scot-land near where he grew up. He want-ed to kidnap his father's old employer, the Earl of Selkirk, and trade him for the release of American prisoners. Un-fortunately, the Earl was not at home. While Jones chatted with the Earl's wife, his men without his knowledge stole the family silver and other valu-ables. Later when Jones learned what his men had done, he wrote a note to the Earl vowing that he would return it. After he did so, the Earl sent him a letter of thanks and wrote the Times of London, saying Jones was not a pirate, but a “man of his word and a naval gentleman.”
Witnessing Jones's visit and cour-teous chat with his mother was the young son of the Earl, who remained
mightily impressed. Years later he in-herited his father's title and estate, and also became the governor of the Hud-son's Bay Company. He was heard to comment on his admiration for the character of John Paul Jones and called him a model of the type of man to be found in America.
As the fifth Earl of Selkirk, he fi-nanced a mass migration of Scottish farmers to start a colony in North America (western Canada), because he knew that they had a better chance to succeed there than in Scotland at the time. Many of those Scots later made their way southwest to Puget Sound and the Seattle area. Others went fur-ther south to the Willamette Valley in Oregon. Descendants of those Scots even today live in those areas.
One never knows the impression on others that politeness and keeping one's word might have!
John Paul Jones has tiny connection to Western history
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.
It was the best of times; it was the worst of times. No, I’m not referencing Charles Dickens’ 1859 novel A Tale of Two Cit-ies. I’m referencing the music of the 1970’s, my formative
teenage years. Ask almost any adult about their favorite music and the most likely answer will be whatever was popular during the decade between their 15th and 25th birthdays. For me that was 1976-1986. Best. Music. Ever.
Unfortunately, that time period also included disco. I still recall Casey Kasem counting down the Ameri-can Top 40 hits at the end of the year. “1978 will be known as the Year of the Bee Gees!” Five of the top 10 songs of that year were sung either by the Bee Gees (Brothers Gibb) or their little brother Andy. Thankfully Queen (“We Will Rock You/We are the Champions”) and Kansas (“Dust in the Wind”) re-deemed the year for me.
One of those Gibb tunes was “How Deep is Your Love.” Man, were there a lot of sad, hormonal teenagers ask-ing that question! And, as with most teen romances, we found out the an-swer to that question was, “Not very.” Fortunately, I found one whose love was deep and who drew the depths of love out of me. Mrs. Sweetie and I will celebrate 30 years of marriage this summer.
I found more about the depth of love almost 26 years ago when I started the journey of fatherhood. Those young ‘uns are all grown up and married now, but I am often overwhelmed at
how much I love them. We just spent a weekend with them in Amarillo and I came away with an incredible sense of how blessed and proud I am to be their dad (and dad-in-law). If they were to ask me, “How deep is your love for us,” I would have to tell them that they can’t touch the bottom of that pool.
I have to acknowledge, however, that there is a depth of love that makes mine look like a leaky kiddy pool. Ephe-sians 3:14-19 says, “When I think of all this, I fall to my knees and pray to the Father, the Creator of ev-erything in heaven and on earth. I pray that from his glorious, unlimited re-sources he will empower you with inner strength through his Spirit. Then Christ will make his home in your hearts as you trust in him. Your roots will grow down into God's love
and keep you strong. And may you have the power to understand, as all God's people should, how wide, how long, how high, and how deep his love is.”
That’s not a pool. That’s an ocean so deep it can’t really be measured. The best way I show the depth of my love is to point to the depth of the love of the One to whom our lives matter most.
Sit and think about that one for awhile. I’m praying that you are over-whelmed.
How deep is your love?

Tips to avoid being audited
In 2013, the Internal Revenue Service audited one out of ev-ery 104 tax returns.
If you made more than $1 million, your chances of being audited was 10.85 percent.
Those with total income under $200,000 had just a 0.88 percent chance of an audit.
According to certified financial planner Rick Rodgers of Rodgers & Associates, while some audits are ran-dom, others are selected for a variety of reasons.
Here are four of them:1. Exceptionally large itemized
deductions. If you take deductions that exceed the “statistical norm” for specific state or areas, it’s a red flag to the IRS.
2. Self-employment income. The IRS believes this is the primary source of unreported income.
Self-employed taxpayers are au-dited far more often than those who receive a traditional W-2 form.
3. Large business expenses. Big deductions for business meals, trav-
el, and entertainment catch the IRS’ eye.
Also, claiming 100 percent of a ve-hicle for business use is “a huge red flag.”
4. Claiming a home office. The IRS often zeroes in on taxpayers who say they operate a business from their home.
This deduction “greatly increases” the possibility of an audit.
If the tax savings are minimal, it’s recommended to avoid this deduction entirely to avoid scrutiny.
It helps to be a little psycho around here
ON YOURMARK
Mark K. Campbell
Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and has always thought chefs were suspicious sorts.
There’s a new book out detailing the positive as-pects of being a psycho-path.
It also contains a mas-ter list of the professions
where you’re likely to run into a psy-cho and those least likely.
Not surprisingly, journalist was No. 6 on the Top Psycho Job List.
This was one of those well, duh an-nouncements because you have to be crazy to work at a newspaper these days.
Technology has changed every facet of the world, of course, and journalism is certainly no different.
In the old days, a reporter took notes, did a brief interview, snapped a couple of photos with a film camera, then sent the story on its merry way.
Ha! Boy, that’s downright Leave It To Beaver prehistoric today.
This past weekend, I drove more than 300 miles and took over 600 pho-tos at softball, basketball, and wres-tling events. (Now, that’s a plus of the digital age – unlimited pictures.)
But it hardly ended there. Constant written updates were issued via Twit-ter and Facebook that also entailed dumping the freshly taken pictures into an iPad, choosing the best ones, editing them, and sending them into cyberspace.
It’s very cool to keep folks back home up to date on the immediate goings-on at distant events – another groovy plus of this new journalism.
It just requires some substantial jug-gling and “focus” – one of the traits of a psychopath, according to The
Wisdom of Psychopaths: What Saints, Spies, and Se-rial Killers Can Teach Us About Success.
Other attri-butes of psy-chos: lack of emotion/em-pathy; super-ficial charm; egocentricity; p e r s u a s i v e -ness; and inde-pendence.
The author says the No. 1 job where you’re likely to find psychopaths is Chief Executive Officer.
The rest: 2. lawyer; 3. radio/TV
media; 4. salesperson; 5. surgeon; 6. journalist; 7. cop; 8. clergy; 9. chef; 10. civil servant.
The least likely place you’ll find a psycho: 1. “care aide”; 2. nurse; 3. therapist; 4. craftsperson; 5. beau-tician/stylist; 6. charity worker; 7. teacher; 8. creative artist; 9. doctor; 10. accountant.
Usually, when you hear the word psychopath, you think killer on a CBS weekly CSI show.
But now it’s something you might put on a resume: “I’m a go-getter seeking a lifelong career and I feel my psychopathic tendencies will help move your company to even greater heights! I’d murder it!”
You probably want a lawyer to ex-ude “persuasiveness” before a jury and you’d likely prefer your surgeon
to slice your duodenum with a “lack of emotion.”
And who hasn’t suffered a sales-person’s “superficial charm.” I still grumble about that extended warranty I bought on a truck back in 2004 because that guy was so danged charming!
On the flip side, you wouldn’t want your “care aide” to “lack empathy.” Or your accountant to be “indepen-dent” when filing your taxes.
So we journalists are a bit psycho. It’s a job requirement.
When we have another opening here at the News, if you’re interested, you might note that your “egocentricity” is a big part of your appeal. You just could be crazy enough to work here.
Wednesday, February 19, 2014 11AOPINION
Counting down to Primary Election Day on March 4, Republican Greg Abbott and Democrat Wen-
dy Davis remain the presump-tive frontrunners for governor in their respective party races.
For lieutenant governor, state Sen. Leticia Van de Putte of San Antonio stands alone as the Democrat vying for that pow-erful offi ce, while Republican primary voters will have a fi eld of four candidates to choose from in that race: incumbent Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst; Jerry Patterson, land commissioner; Todd Staples, agriculture com-missioner; or Dan Patrick, chair of the state Senate Committee on Education.
While agreeing on most is-sues, one popular way those four Republican candidates seek to differentiate themselves is by publicizing lists of en-dorsements by various political action committees and other special interest groups.
Last week Abbott, the current state attorney general, said cor-ruption and gangs are a threat to security along the border with Mexico. His likening the border region to a third world country, however, drew a blis-tering response from South Texas residents.
Davis, a state senator from Fort Worth, focused on public school funding. She pointed to a pending state district court case dealing with fairness in the education fi nance system and called on Abbott to stop defending the state law that sparked the case. Davis sug-gested that the state Legislature be called into special session to revise the law. Abbott has said that as attorney general, it’s his job to defend state laws against court challenges.
Davis also spoke in favor of gay marriage and “open carry” by local option. An open carry law would allow Texans who have the appropriate state per-mit to wear a fi rearm in plain view in public. Abbott previ-
o u s l y has made his op-posi t ion to gay marriage k n o w n and he l a b e l e d D a v i s ’s open car-ry state-ment as political opportun-ism.
E a r l y v o t i n g b e g a n
Feb. 18 and will end on Feb. 28.
Business fi lings increaseTexas Secretary of State Nan-
dita Berry on Feb. 10 reported that in calendar year 2013, some 150,979 certifi cates of formation creating new limited liability companies, corpora-tions, and limited partnerships were fi led with her offi ce.
The number of fi lings, she said, represents a 5.6 percent increase from 2012, when the offi ce received 142,872 fi l-ings.
“We’ve cut red tape and made it possible in many cases to start a new business in Texas virtually overnight. Texas is wide open for business. Wel-come to the land of opportuni-ty,” said Berry, who appointed by Gov. Perry and sworn in on Jan. 7.
Sales tax revenue is upState sales tax revenue in
January was $2.3 billion, up 8.3 percent compared to the previ-ous January, state Comptroller Susan Combs said Feb. 12.
Combs said increases across all major sectors of the econ-omy indicate “continued ex-pansion in both consumer and business spending, and brings the growth in fi scal year-to-date collections to 4.6 percent compared with the previous year. Sales tax revenue has increased for 46 consecutive
months.”Cities, counties, transit sys-
tems and special purpose tax-ing districts would be sent their February local sales tax alloca-tions totaling $802.1 million, up 8.2 percent compared to February 2013.
UT chancellor steps downAfter a fi ve-year tenure,
Chancellor Francisco G. Cigar-roa announced Feb. 10 that he would step down as head of The University of Texas Sys-tem but will serve until a suc-cessor is named.
Cigarroa will become the head of pediatric transplant surgery at the UT Health Sci-ence Center at San Antonio while also serving as a special liaison to the board of regents to advise on the development of the new University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and medi-cal school.
Cigarroa served as president of the UT Health Science Cen-ter at San Antonio from 2000 to 2008 before being named the
fi rst Hispanic chancellor of the UT System in late 2008.
Seat belt campaign beginsTexas Department of Trans-
portation announced Feb. 14 the launch of its annual “Teen Click It or Ticket” campaign to address the leading cause of death among teens ages 15 to 20: motor vehicle crashes.
The campaign features vid-eos and a wrecked truck exhibit “to highlight the consequences of not wearing a seat belt, such as costly tickets, lost driving privileges, injuries or even death,” TxDOT said.
Educational toolkits avail-able to campus classrooms in-clude posters, banners, parking lot signage, morning announce-ments, a school newspaper article, a parent brochure and more.
Candidates show differences as primaries approach

13ASPORTSLady Hornet hoops season ends in Area
Azle netters win at TCU
by mark k. campbellNot only had the Lady Hor-
net basketball team returned to the postseason for the first time since 2006, but Azle (22-11) won its first playoff game.
Round two pitted AHS against a tough foe, Fort Worth’s Trimble Tech, coming in with 27 wins.
The Lady Bulldogs got off to a fast start and the Lady Hor-nets played chase the entire game, losing 73-46.
But Azle never quit chasing.Coach Mitzi Marquart said,
“What I am most proud of is that our young ladies never quit. Even through they jumped on us early, we continued to battle.”
Playing at Boswell High School on Valentine’s Day, Tech bolted out to a 24-7 lead after the initial quarter.
That expanded to 43-19 by halftime.
Marquart said, “No question, Trimble Tech was a very ath-letic, talented, and disciplined group.”
To open the second half, the Azle crowd – substantially larger than their opponent’s – roared as the Lady Hornets scored the first eight points of the third period.
When the rapid-fire, back and forth combat settled as the third quarter buzzer sounded, both teams had scored 16 points each.
The squads played near even the rest of the way.
Kaycie Dunkerley ended up
leading Azle in scoring with 15 points. Payton Berger was right behind with 14. Valarie Mat-lock added 9.
Coach Marquart lauded her squad. “It has been a great year and these ladies accomplished what some thought impossible. Our district was very tough, but
these ladies fought every Tues-day and Friday to make the playoffs.”
She added, “The motto was Play Hard – Play Smart – Play Together. It was a great team effort. It was a fun year and we will take away many great memories.”

After missing four tourna-ments because of weather – two varsity and two JV – the Azle High School varsity tennis team finally got to play.
And they did well.AHS claimed a pair of golds
and also tallied a slew of other top finishes at the courts on the Texas Christian University campus in the Peaster tourna-ment.
The boys singles title was won by Daniel Clark.
The boys doubles team of Peyton Smith and Austin Strickland also was golden at
TCU.Taking second was the girls
doubles team of Kori Wright and Loran Dewvall.
Three Azle teams were third in doubles.
The girls duo of Mackenzie Morelock and Desiree Dority finished there.

The Hornet basketball season ended on a positive note with a district victory in the last game of the season.

day by bad weather.Both teams let loose in the
final period, combining for 53 points; AHS got 29 of them.
Luke Davis led with 15 points. Cooper Rush and Pey-
ton Smith added 10 while Colton Bagwell and Billy Ste-vens netted 8 and Jesse Salis-bury scored 6 points.
Stevens led with 9 rebounds; Bagwell grabbed 8 boards.
Coach Eddy Prather said, “It was really great to end the year on a high note. I’m really proud of my kids; they always con-tinued to play hard every night
and always stayed positive.”The coach added about the
Senior Night game, “I’m ex-tra proud of my seniors. They ended their career with a win, a
great way to end .”Taking to the court for the fi-
nal time as Hornets were Bag-well, Davis, Rush, Salisbury, and Stevens.
By mArk k. CAmpBeLLThe first time out for the
Lady Hornet softball team was impressive: Azle (6-0) won the Brock tournament.
Until bracket play arrived, AHS clobbered all comers.
The year opened with an 11-3 drubbing of San Angelo Lake View.
Makenzi Harris (3-0) got the win for the Lady Hornets.
Next, hurler Samantha Brad-ley (2-0) permitted only one run to Dublin as Azle cruised to a 16-1 victory.
On a windy Valentine’s Day morning at 8 a.m., AHS took out Celina 13-2 behind the stel-lar pitching of Harris.
After Bradley picked up her second victory of the year with a 14-4 blasting of Brecken-ridge, bracket games arrived.
Azle faced Pampa in the semifinals, winning 5-1.
Sophomore Raelyn Temple broke open a scoreless game with a 3-run double in the fifth inning.
Harris got the victory.That win catapulted the Lady
Hornets into the championship game.
Brock, No. 4 in the state in 2A and 2009 state champs, awaited on their new all-weath-er diamond.
Bradley, a sophomore, took the mound and threw a 3-hit shutout en route to a 3-0 win.
The big blow came in the first inning from Azle’s other ace, Harris. The junior walloped a 3-run homer and that was all Bradley needed.
First-year coach Tracy Tad-lock said, “We had a successful weekend. Not only because we won, but with all the practice time we missed and just getting the basketballers in, we also got an opportunity to work out some kinks – especially on de-fense.”
He said he expects the com-petition to ramp up in the com-ing weeks.
“Our goal is to continue working and build on the early success we have achieved,” Tadlock said.
The next outing is another tournament, this time to White Settlement in an event hosted by Brewer, a 5-4A district mate.
On Feb. 20, Azle will face Kennedale (No. 5 in 3A) and Plainview.
The next day comes a mighty matchup: Azle will see Ale-do, No. 2 in 4A (behind Buda Hays) according to the Texas Girls Coaches Association poll.
Later on Feb. 21, the Lady Hornets face 5A Northwest.
The tourney ends with games against Graham and Ennis on Feb. 22.
A third tournament comes af-ter Brewer – at College Station Feb. 27-March 1.

Baseball to start with a tourney
By MARk k. CAMpBeLLWhile Jesse Grubbs was re-
peating as the state wrestling champion (that story is on the front page), several other Azle High School athletes were vy-ing for medals.
And three achieved that goal – Lady Hornets Ruby Ariosa and Bernadette Duhan and Hor-net Colten Clearwater.
Both Ariosa (95 pounds) and Duhan (110) battled through the lower bracket to reach the bronze medal clash.
Clearwater (145) won his battle for the fifth place spot.
With Grubbs, all were All-State by virtue of finishing in the medals.
Logan Little (160) and Jus-tin Scarbro (heavyweight) also collected victories at state but did not place.
Ariosa reached the bronze round with a thrilling, last sec-ond pin in the prior clash.
Earlier, she had beaten oppo-nents from Houston Lee, Hum-ble, Fort Worth Trimble Tech, and Hereford.
Coach Chris Allen said, “She really shocked me with her mental focus and the will to
win she showed in placing at the state tournament in her only her first season.”
Duhan lost her opening out-ing then peeled off wins to advance. She took down ri-vals from Austin Johnson, Rio Grande City, and Frisco Liberty for her shot at the bronze.
“I was proud of Bernie for finishing higher than last year’s place despite being up in a weight class,” Allen said.
Clearwater also lost early then fought all the way back to the fifth place match that he won in nail-biter, 1-0.
Allen said, “He really peaked as the season progressed; he wrestled smart and his offense really picked up the further he went into the tournament.”
Little went 1-2, pinning the Region 4 champion early. Scar-bro was also 1-2 at state.
In a special moment, quali-fier Lauren Gilbert was pub-licly lauded; she won Region 2 and was a near lock for a state medal, but was hurt in a wreck and had to withdraw from state.
With just three wrestlers, Azle tied for fifth in the team race out of 68 schools.
The Azle High School soccer teams remain at the top of the heap in District 12-4A action.
The boys continue to over power rivals, especially defen-sively.
Keeper Austin McCash liter-ally saved the match in a 1-0 win over Saginaw, coach Ben Buentello recalled.
McCash stopped a Rough Rider’s point blank shot.
“Austin and our starting de-fense have not allowed a goal in district play,” the coach said.
Josa Gomez got the lone score in the Saginaw contest with an assist by Dylan Tritton.
Earlier, AHS thumped Brew-er 3-0. Tritton scored twice and Danny Gomez booted in the other score.
Josa and Danny Gomez were credited with assists.
The girls (10-2-2, 5-0-1) stayed unbeaten in district but “laid an egg” in a tie with Brewer, coach Trent Davis re-called.
“We found a little rhythm to-wards the end of the game; it was too little too late,” he said.
Next came a 2-1 victory over Saginaw where Azle “played much better,” Davis said.
Sam Derda put Azle ahead
1-0 early. However, in the sec-ond half, the Lady Rough Rid-ers tied it up.
But, Azle wrestled the vic-tory back when Molly Grover scored midway through the fi-nal half, Davis recalled.
With even more improve-ment from his squad evident during scrimmages, Azle High School head baseball coach Anthony Barron said his unit is ready to begin the season.
In the final scrimmages, “we put the ball in play and scored a lot of runs,” the coach said. “Our pitching staff did well and the defense is starting to mesh together and get the job done.”
The season begins with Azle one of four hosts of the annual Jerry Durant Classic.
AHS welcomes Birdville first, at noon on Feb. 20. “They knocked us out of the playoffs last year and the guys are look-ing to redeem themselves,” said Barron.

Not many people are crazy about the reboot of RoboCop.
Some wondered why remake a beloved classic. Sci-fi fans sang that song about Total Re-call (2012, Movie Man No. 994, a 6) and horror fans really didn’t need another Evil Dead(2013, MM #1,034, 4). It’s true for all genres; if a movie is real-ly a hit initially, why remake it?
One argument for remakes is that cinematic technology can make the original better. Another mention is that it’s a chance to bring a classic to a new generation.
Whatever the reason, there’s one thing that can put the hurt on any movie, new or old – bad acting.
There’s a big example of some stinky acting in the new RoboCop – and it happens to be the Robocop.
About the movieThe original RoboCop in
1987 remains a sci-fi touch-stone. It was shockingly violent while making a statement about corporate power in the 1980’s. (Plus it has one of the great endings of all time.)
The fi rst RoboCop benefi t-ted from a great acting turn by Peter Weller as the “cop in a can.” (This and 1984’s The Adventures of Buckaroo Ban-zai Across the 8th Dimension made Weller a fanboy favorite. [A rumored sequel to the latter has been bandied about for de-cades.])
Movie history is full of some really bad acting. Sometimes it’s singers who try to act – like Neil Diamond (The Jazz Singer [1980, and another unnecessary remake]), Prince, and Madon-na.
Sometimes, comedians prove they are better in other media than fi lm – like Andrew Dice Clay and Pauly Shore. (The latter was in the fi rst Movie Man 1, Bio-Dome [1996, MM #110], and it held that “honor” for years. The next 1 did not ar-rive until 2006’s Big Momma’s House 2 [MM #650]. And that
was quickly followed by anoth-er 1, Date Movie [MM# 653]. FYI for Movie Man newbies: There are far more 9’s than 1’s and there has never been a 10 [only Movie Wife is a 10].)
Some athletes aren’t too hot onscreen – like Arnold Schwar-zenegger and Shaquille O’Neal. (Admittedly the former has managed to have a fun career.)
Then there are real actors who manage to fi nagle a star-ring role and end up being ter-rible. Remember how Hayden Christiansen damaged the al-ready wounded second Star Wars trilogy?
Now we have Joel Kinna-man, the new RoboCop. It’s rare to see such bad acting in a major release. Plus he has the misfortune to be in a cast with a pair of talented veterans, Gary Oldman and Michael Keaton.
It’s one thing to expect Kin-naman to make the role robotic, but he does it as a human before he gets suited up, too. He is re-ally bad. It’s quite a shock and it soon becomes the focal point of this new RoboCop – it’s hard to focus on the action when Kinnaman is lumbering around.
The plotIn 2028, the world is being
made safe by robots patrolling American war zones. While the mammoth machines, built by Sellars (Keaton), are sav-ing U.S. soldiers, a conserva-tive politician’s law forbids the metal behemoths from being used in America.
Keaton, supported nationally by TV host Pat Novak (Samuel L. Jackson), wants to change that, but Keaton needs a catch, some sort of hook to change the political and national senti-ment.
When good cop Alex Mur-phy (Kinnaman) gets almost killed by an explosion set by dirty cops, the idea of combin-ing a human with a machine is born. That will win over the masses, Keaton believes.
He directs Dr. Norton (Old-man) to try to salvage the mu-
tilated Kinnaman who only now exists with his head, spinal cord, and lungs. Oldman rigs up the injured man in a near-impenetrable suit – which Kin-naman hates initially.
The RoboCop eventually comes around. However, when all unsolved criminal data get downloaded into him, he sees his own attack and focuses on solving that crime.
Kinnaman eventually fi gures out that Keaton is ramrodding the RoboCop concept for his own evil corporate profi t. The metal man decides to stop Ke-aton and his minions, but they have Kinnaman’s wife and son in tow.
Everyone gathers on a high-rise rooftop where things go badly for the businessman and his minions.
What worksOldman is really good here
as a regularly distraught doctor doing things to a man he feels really bad for. Oldman’s good but still obeys Keaton’s com-mands.
Keaton stands out and so does Jackie Earle Haley as military man Rick Mattox who
thinks the idea of combining man and computer is dumb since it’s already been proven that the unthinking machines do the job just fi ne.
A few scenes are pretty good. In one, Kinnaman, now con-fi ned in his suit, meets his boy again for the fi rst time.
A second sequence is a gun-fi re-fi lled training session be-tween Haley and Kinnaman set to the classic rock staple by Fo-cus, “Hocus Pocus.”
The third is the opening of the movie where the giant ro-bots are keeping the peace in Afghanistan.
Jackson chews the scenery as the TV host. That’s okay be-cause it’s one of the few links to
the over-the-top original.
Best sceneKinnaman, sealed in his suit,
demands to see what’s left of his human body. Oldman dis-connects the roboman, and, amid whirs and clanks, the metal automatically disappears to reveal a head perched on a shambles of a spinal cord with a pair of lungs laboring away below. It’s pretty cool looking.
What doesn’t work Well, Kinnaman, of course.
It’s been a long time since a role has been so bland and miscast.
There’s not much cop action, so we don’t have much to go on that Kinnaman was such a great detective.
Kinnaman has no chemistry with his wife Clara (Abbie Cor-nish).
Minor characters – played by Jay Baruchel and Jennifer Erle – support Keaton but they have zero impact.
The action sequences are mostly just non-stop gunfi re. They drag and so does the en-tire movie – for an action mov-ie, it’s astonishingly dull. That was the biggest surprise of all.
The ratingThe original got an R and this
one’s toned down. It’s got typi-
cal PG-13 language and vio-lence in addition to the explicit revelation of the blown up Kin-naman.
Summing upNo one leaving the theater
with the Movie Man had any-thing good to say about this reboot. It’s completely forget-table and unnecessary. (And, FYI 2: There was a RoboCop 2in 1990 – it couldn’t hold up to the fi rst one. And RoboCop 3: pee-yew.) Stick to the original.

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANOne Azle High School gradu-
ate can say without hesitation that dreams really do come true.
From the time he was a little “Kidd” listening to the radio as his mom drove him to Azle Elementary (the Rock School), Alex Roberson says he’s been a fan of Kidd Kraddick and his radio show.
Roberson, a 2009 AHS grad, doesn’t hold back when it comes to his admiration of the late, great radio personality.
“I’ve really looked up to Kidd Kraddick all my life,” Roberson said. “I’ve dreamed of someday being like him.”
A series of events that Rober-son can’t exactly explain led to his being chosen to be an intern on the nationally syndicated Kidd Kraddick in the Morning radio show.
Already working two part time jobs and taking classes at Tarrant County College, Rober-son jumped at the opportunity.
In the position of intern (which, as the term implies, is an unpaid position), Roberson does pretty much whatever the crew at the show asks him to.
Sometimes that involves live tweeting about the show during the day or running to a nearby deli to get breakfast or lunch.
It can even mean going on the air with radio personalities Kel-lie Rasberry, Jose “J-Si” Chavez, Big Al Mack, Jenna Owens, and “Psycho” Shanon Murphy, the cast of the show that has kept go-ing even in light of Kraddick’s untimely death in July 2013.
How it beganIn Roberson’s mind, the
pieces of his destiny began to fall into place during his fi rst or second semester at TCC, not long after graduating from AHS.
“We had to interview some-one we wanted to be like when we grew up, so I emailed Jenna Owens, who was new on the (Kraddick) show at the time,” Roberson says. “She actually responded to my email, and we met at a Starbucks in Dallas – I bought her coffee.”
Roberson says he and Owens talked for more than two hours, and he really enjoyed the op-portunity to get to know and learn from her.
Life rocked on.Roberson, who’s aiming
for a communications degree from UTA someday, continued working as head doorman at the Omni Hotel in Fort Worth, where one day he ran into for-mer American Idol contestant Tim Halperin.
It just so happens that Hal-perin was the subject of an on-going bit on Kidd Kraddick in the Morning called “Idol Got It Wrong” – something that led to Halperin and Kraddick forming a close friendship.
As a result of meeting Hal-perin, Roberson decided he should hire the singer to per-form at his girlfriend’s gradua-tion party.
“When I found out how much it cost, I knew I couldn’t afford it,” Roberson says. “But the Lord laid it on my heart to hire him (Halperin) so I worked extra hours and saved up the money, and I did it.”
Eventually, he and the girl-friend broke up, but Roberson
continued his friendship with Halperin.
Roberson was able to help Halperin with some publicity-related jobs as Halperin’s new-ly released album was getting ready to come out.
ConnectionsEarly in the friendship, Rob-
erson had mentioned to Hal-perin he’d like to intern at the Kraddick show, and one day, months later, Halperin told Rob-erson: “If you really want to in-tern there, just let me know.”
Roberson did, right then and there.
Halperin put him in touch with Russ Francis, social media and marketing manager for the radio show. Roberson emailed him in June 2013, but things didn’t work out at that time.
Roberson volunteered to work at the VIP entrance for a Kidd’s Kids concert just two weeks after Kraddick’s death, and it just happened that he was teamed up with the wife of a Kraddick show engineer.
But early in January, Francis emailed Roberson to see if he was still interested in the in-ternship.
Roberson assured Francis he was and sent a resume. Five days later, Francis called to of-fer Roberson the job.
Roberson’s been walking on clouds ever since.
At the stationHe typically works Mondays,
Wednesdays and Fridays at the
studio in Las Colinas from 6-10:45 a.m. and loves every minute of it.
Roberson, who says he’s never met a stranger, came up with some ideas for the show within the fi rst couple of weeks he was there and his ideas were well-received.
He was quickly dubbed “Lil Al” on the show.
He was brought on air for a “Meet the Intern” segment, which can be heard at http://www.kiddnation.com/meet-the-intern-alex-audio/.
In his fi rst-ever opportunity to be on the air, he was asked what he wants to be when he grows up and his reply was an instant “I want to be right here – this is a dream of mine.”
More recently, Roberson got another opportunity to go on the air with the Kraddick crew on Valentine’s Day, when he showed up at the studio with cards and fl owers for each of the ladies.
Although the stunt didn’t go over well with J-Si and Big Al – they showed up empty-hand-ed for Valentine’s Day – the la-dies seemed to love it.
You can listen to the audio from the segment at http://www.
kiddnation.com/intern-alex-im-presses-the-ladies-audio/.
Looking higherRoberson says he now real-
izes his dream of becoming a radio personality himself could easily become reality if he con-tinues to work hard.
Nick Adams, executive pro-ducer of Kidd Kraddick in the Morning – which, by the way, is heard by 2.5 million people each week – thinks Roberson is a natural.
“Alex is great – he’s what every good intern should be,”
Adams said by phone. “He’s willing to do anything and ev-erything and he’s open to hav-ing a good time. He takes direc-tion and doesn’t mind getting out of his comfort zone in order to grow and learn.”
Adams said Roberson is also eager to be on the air, some-thing Adams said will likely continue.
“We try to plan ahead, but a lot of what we do is reactionary so we can’t say exactly when that will be,” Adams explained. “But we’ll be using him some more.”
Roberson is up for the challenge.
