Ouch! by carla noah stutsman Just about six weeks into the training phase as Azle’s newest cop, Officer Kristen Smith is on light duty waiting for some minor on-the-job injuries to heal; an Azle man is in the Tarrant County jail as a result of causing her injuries. Donnie Ray Beam, 19, of Azle, was arrested Sept. 17 in the 1700 block of Boyd Road behind Sandy Beach Mart and charged with assault on a public servant, a third-degree felony; evading arrest or detention, a class A misdemeanor; tampering with evidence, a third-degree felony; and possession of a controlled substance in penalty group 1, less than one gram, a state jail felony. Beam remains in the Tarrant County jail in lieu of a total of $53,005 bond. According to Azle PD Detective Sgt. Kevin Rogers, Smith and Officer Rich-

Rookie officer hurt when suspect flees ard Lukowski, her field training officer in the second of four phases of training, were on patrol Sept. 17 when they observed a traffic violation. After pulling the vehicle over in the 1700 block of Boyd Road, Smith approached the driver’s side of the vehicle while Lukowski approached the driver’s side. “They began to question the driver, Donnie Ray Beam, about some paraphernalia he had,” Rogers said. “Suddenly, he got out of the vehicle and started to run. Officer Smith grabbed at him to try to stop him, but her fingers got tangled in his shorts as he pushed and swung at her.” Smith was thrown to the ground during the struggle, and Beam took off on foot. “The terrain was uneven with lots of brush and six-foot-tall weeds in a dry

by carla noah stutsman Now that the city of Azle has adopted a budget and corresponding tax rate for fiscal year 2014-2015, city administrators are on the hunt for some key leaders to fill vacancies.

Low water: Twin Points, deepest ramp on EML, shut due to drought by carla noah stutsman If you’re still planning that last day of boating or fishing on Eagle Mountain Lake, listen up. Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) officials announced Monday, Sept. 22, the closure of its Twin Points boat launch. Touted as the deepest boat launch on the lake, its closure reflects the severity of the ongoing drought with a current water level barely shy of 10 feet lower than its conservation pool level of 649.10. TRWD spokesman Chad Lorance explained that low water levels on EML have made it more and more difficult for boaters to use the courtesy dock at Twin Points, as well as the boat launch. It’s one thing if you can’t get your boat into the lake. But what if your boat is on the lake and you want to get it out of the wa-

ter for winter? Lorance said TRWD personnel will make every reasonable effort to assist residents who need to get their boats off the lake. Boat owners who need help can call TRWD’s Eagle Mountain Lake office at 817-237-8585 to request assistance. Note that members of the Fort Worth Anglers Club may still be able to launch at the club’s boat launch. Stage 1 still in effect Lorance confirmed that Stage 1 of the TRWD Drought Contingency Plan is still in effect – meaning area residents may only water their lawns two days per week. While there are no immediate plans to move to Stage 2 restrictions, Lorance pointed to the obvious: rainfall. “The good news is that weather

forecasters are still predicting an El Niño pattern, which typically brings more rain to this area,” Lorance said. “If we have a rainy winter and spring, it Nov.-Jan could mean we could reopen the launch and ramp in time for next summer.” As of Sept. 18, the National Weather Service predicts above average rainfall in North Central Texas beginning in November and lasting until March

Cops to start Tweeting Night Out sites announced Oct. 1 @AzlePD start date Capitalizing on the success of its first social media venture – its own Facebook page – the Azle Police Department recently acquired its own Twitter account. Detective Sgt. Kevin Rogers said the department plans to take the account live beginning on or before Oct. 1. “But you can follow us now @AzlePD to be sure you don’t miss any information,” Rogers said. Twitter is a vehicle to reach a portion of the citizenry that prefers its concise form of

communication. It’s important to note the Azle PD Twitter account will not be monitored 24 hours a day, 7 day a week. It’s also not recommended as a way to report a crime or even to get an answer to a question. If you have an emergency, call 911. If you need to speak to someone at the Azle Police Department, call the non-emergency phone number at 817-444-3221.

Reno city council approves its 2014-15 fiscal budget By Natalie Gentry The Reno City Council approved the proposed operating budget for the 2014-2015 fiscal year at the Sept. regular city Council meeting. According to City Secretary Becky Young, the new budget represents hours of research and analysis by the staff to assess community and fiscal needs. She said the goal is to create a cohesive plan which serves the needs of the citizens and the goals of the council in such a way as to enhance health and safety of the public at large and to enhance the quality of life in the City of Reno. The content of the proposed budget includes the following: Personnel There is a planned 2.5 percent increase for all permanent hourly employees effective Oct. 1; however no raises were budgeted for salaried employees. Continued funding was approved for the part-time Municipal Court clerk position, as well as the Texas Municipal League Intergovernmental Employee Benefits Pool. Equipment Additions to equipment expenses include funds for a Municipal Court printer, a used truck for the Public Works Department, and administrative office equipment. There are no major changes proposed for services. Revenue The proposed mainte-

nance and operation tax is $388,343 and the interest and sinking tax is $87,889. This is a combined property tax of $476,232, an increase of $2,862 above last year’s $473,370. The sales and use tax revenue is anticipated to be $84,450 – an increase of $2,200 above the anticipated collections for the 2014 fiscal year. Water rates will increase from $7 to $7.50 per thousand gallons on residential accounts and from $8.75 to $9.25 per thousand gallons on commercial accounts. In addition to the rate increase, new accounts and discontinuing a major portion of the water purchase from Walnut Creek the water revenue is anticipated to increase a total of $119,906 more than last year. There is also a proposed transfer from the water fund to the General Fund of $24,000 to repay water-leakage related road repairs. An anticipated $14,600 of street maintenance tax revenue should be raised if the Reno citizens vote for the return of a 1/4 percent (onefourth of one percent) street maintenance sales tax in the Nov. 4 special election. “It’s important for the citizens of Reno to know that this is not a new tax,” said Mayor Lynda Stokes. “We are reinstating a tax, and to do so must put it on the ballot.”

Mr. and Mrs. Bill Glover

“This sales tax will, in fact, help lighten the burden on the citizens,” she continued. “Anyone (even non-residents) purchasing items or services from Reno business will be contributing to the maintenance and repairs of our roads.” VFD fees The voluntary $5 per month donation for the Volunteer Fire Department (VFD) will be replaced by a $5 per month Public Safety Surcharge. According to Mayor Stokes, less than a quarter of a percent of citizens have been paying the $5 VFD donations. “Our VFD can’t operate on less than one fourth of a percent participation from our residents,” she said The surcharge will gener-

ate approximately $51,000 annually and will be offset by a matching expense account for public safety services. Budget A revenue proposal was made of $1,650,040, a decrease of $48,610 or 2.87 percent from 2014’s $1,698,650. The proposed expenditure budget was for $1,650,040, a 0.68 percent decrease of $11,217 from 2013-2014’s $1,661,257. “We’ve made changes to this year’s budget, both in format and content, in an effort to make it both a cohesive document for citizens, a usable tool for mayor, council, and staff,” Young said.

Glovers to celebrate 60th anniversary Bill and Patsy Glover will celebrate their 60th wedding anniversary with an evening reception at 7 p.m. Sunday, Sept. 28 in the fellowship room of the Azle Church of Christ. Hosting the reception will be the couples’ children and their spouses, Dr. Michael and Michelle Glover, Rachel and Doug Lawrence, Melissa and Jeff Green and Melanie and Allen Lambert. The Glovers were married Oct. 1, 1954 at the Azle Church of Christ. Mrs. Glover is the former Patsy Harvey and is a retired church secretary. Mr. Glover is retired from KXAS-TV (formerly WBAP-TV) and his own film processing business. The couple has lived in Azle for the past 22 years.

Kay is Optimist’s Texan for September Thomas “Tommy” Kay has been selected as the Azle Optimist Club’s Texan of the Month for September. An Azle High School senior, Kay was listed on the school’s A Honor Roll in the Pre-Advanced Placement and AP classes in which he was enrolled in his freshman year. He received all A’s with the exception of one B during his sophomore year – enough to earn his induction into the Na-

tional Honor Society. Kay became a member of the PALs – Peer Assistance & Leadership – program during his junior year. His career interests are in architecture, construction management, and mechanical engineering. Kay hopes to pursue those interests at the University of Texas at Arlington, Texas A&M University, or Texas Tech.

EDITORIAL

Hornet Nation rises The rage at colleges and high schools these days is to refer to themselves as a nation: “Baylor Nation,” “Raider Nation,” “You Name It Nation.” Around here, it’s “Hornet Nation” – a bonding mnemonic that helps coalesce school spirit and pride. And it’s certainly working in Azle. The three major sports of the fall – football, volleyball, and cross country – are all strong this year. They are all vital components of the Hornet Nation along with the band, colorguard, dance team, cheering groups, parents, friends, teachers, and townsfolk. It’s a group effort. Plenty of students and fans packed the volleyball game against Brewer Sept. 19. The support was palpable as AHS swept to a victory. The future is bright. Both girls and boys cross country teams are speedy and have a shot at reaching the state meet. The volleyball team, in an admittedly tough district, can play with anyone and has proven that; they are likely playoff bound. The football Hornets begin a brutal 5-5A gauntlet this Friday night at arch rival Boswell. The Take the Lake rivalry resumes in the district opener for both. It’ll be small town Texas football at its finest – loud and wild and colorful, with a major dose of Hornet Nation. If you’re curious about what the Hornet Nation is all about, you should mosey over to Saginaw for volleyball at 5:30 and football at 7. MKC

Bummed out about jolly good toilet paper TV commercials?

hings keep on a-changing. Modern Library’s Greatest Book of the 20th Century, Ulysses by James Joyce, was banned for decades. Back in the day, the word “pregnant” could not be uttered on TV. On the radio, “Louie, Louie” was banned mainly because parents in 1963 – hearing the most popular version, by the Kingsmen – thought their children were being told vile things through the lyrics. Even though the “obscene” words were anything but, parents – and the FBI! – were sure the song could not possibly just be about a man at sea pining for a girl. Spouses Rob and Laura Petrie and Lucy and Ricky Ricardo had to sleep in separate beds on The Dick Van Dyke Show and I Love Lucy. I remember being startled when David Letterman uttered “*ss” – as in “jawbone of an...” – on TV late one night. Today, all those one-time horrify-

ing things are tame. But there’s one subject going around today that’s still hard to get behind: the proliferation of toilet paper commercials. C h a r m i n ’s ON YOUR happy bears MARK suggest we “enjoy the go” Mark K. Campbell as in “We all go; why not enjoy the go?” Also: “It’s good for your bottom and your bottom line.” Somehow, I can not see Mr. Whipple uttering these lines. Cottonelle has ramped up the issue by encouraging people to use wipes. A cheery lady with a British accent says, “Let’s talk about your bum.” Their Facebook page has 389,846 likes. And their Twitter account prof-

fers “parties” on subjects like “Tell All From Inside the Stall.” The company is pitching flushable cleansing cloths. After all, if your baby’s behind is good enough for a wipe, yours should be, too. Cottonelle’s bottom line is trying to make a major culture shift – “one bum at a time” – and that ain’t easy. Not everyone is infatuated with hearing about bathroom habits being heralded by a happy Brit. Comments on the commercials range from “garbage” to “disgusting.” I understand that old people wish it was still 1953 when the world was so much better, when kids could ride bikes, and neighbors baked pies, and people didn’t talk about their bathroom habits on TV. (Here comes my big but...) BUT what’s wrong with making life a little easier? Like the Kingsmen said: “We gotta go now!” Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and that Kingsman’s album was one of the first LPs he ever bought.

Thoughts on how can you do the R.I.G.H.T. thing

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor, Tripp dog here again. Remember me? About a year ago, I wrote to let you know how lucky I was to have been picked up by the Azle Animal Shelter and cared for by Azle Animal Shelter Humane Association (AASHA) in September 2012. I told how I had been injured and had to have my leg removed but had recovered and been adopted by a mom and dad who love me very much. Well, life is good! My mom and dad love me lots and might spoil me just a little. I cuddle with them and take them on walks every day. I am taking my mom to an obedience class. She is even considering letting me help her with some pet assisted therapy soon. Now the real reason for my letter. There are still LOTS of animals in need at the Azle Animal Shelter. A large number of great dogs and cats are available for adoption and that’s the most important way people can help – by providing loving homes

had to do something this week that I really hate to do. I turned down a speaking engagement. They are easy to turn down when I am already booked somewhere, but I actually had this specific time slot open. The problem was that it was about the only open time slot for this whole week, and I knew I would not be able to give my best effort and preparation to it. Do you ever have those moments when you know you should do the right thing, but you are not sure what the right thing is? I want to take a few sentences to describe a possible 5-step filtering process for determining the R.I.G.H.T. thing to do when those moments come. I hope these filters will be helpful. 1. Can I do this with Respect? Does this choice honor God and everyone concerned? Does it treat every person as one who has equal value to everyone else? Will I respect myself when I have done it? 2. Can I do this with Integrity? Is this choice consistent with my core values? Can I be completely honest and authentic in carrying it out? 3. Can I do this with Grace? Can I

see myself as an imperfect person who is seeking to give other imperfect persons a positive and challenging target for their aim or will I simply be a critic that points out everything that is wrong with LIFE MATTERS their world? 4. Can I Gerry Lewis do this with Hope? Do I really believe that positive steps are possible? Do I really believe that doing the right thing really, really matters? 5. Can I do this with Thankfulness? Can I be thankful for the opportunity? Can I be thankful for the challenge? Can I be thankful for the people involved? Whether the choice is between the right thing and the wrong thing or between the right thing among several good options, I think these 5-steps

provide a good processing tool. Of course my personal conviction is that I need God to lead me through each step of the process. James 1:5 says, “If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you.” So, He helps us answer those questions accurately. Proverbs 21:3 says, “To do what is right and just is more acceptable to the Lord than sacrifice.” So, our choices really matter to Him. 1 Peter 3:14-15 says, “But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed. ‘Do not fear what they fear; do not be frightened.’ But in your hearts set apart Christ as Lord.” So, we must never assume that the right thing is the easy or comfortable thing. It may actually cause us discomfort or worse. But it also defines who we are and whose we are. Interestingly, the topic I was asked to speak on was “doing the right thing.” I’ll be ready next time. Thanks for helping me prepare. Azle resident Dr. Gerry Lewis is director of missions for the Harvest Baptist Association, which is headquartered in Decatur. He writes a blog at www.drgerrylewis.com.

Tripp the dog says rescue his pals

for them. The kind people at the shelter could also use some help getting food and supplies for the animals in their care. They prefer to keep all the animals eating a certain brand of food so it would be great if people would call (817) 4448215 and find out exactly what kind of food to bring and drop some off. Or check and see if there are other needs they could help with. One easy way to support the shelter is to bring aluminum cans for recycling. Only aluminum soda and beer cans are accepted. This brings in a good amount of money each month. A monetary donation is always a great option as well. The money AASHA receives is used to provide vet care for the animals, to spay and neuter adoptable animals, and to support the needs of the shelter in general. Again, all the rescued dogs and cats like me thank you and ask that the people of Azle continue to do what they can to help the other animals and support the great work done at our Azle Animal Shelter. Thanks so much! Tripp and Bob and Susan Ellzey Azle

A tale of two Sauk chiefs and the Black Hawk War

ar is complicated, and sad. I had never paid much attention to the Black Hawk War of 1832 except to remember that the future President Abraham Lincoln fought in it. In the 1820s and 1830s the policy of the U.S. government – quite logical at the time – was that whites would not settle the land west of the Mississippi River for generations. Therefore, treaties to persuade, purchase, coerce the native tribes to move west of that mighty river would allow them to continue their life there free of white encroachment and conflict. Whites would be content east of the Mississippi. Wrong! This naive policy did not predict the increase of white immigration from Europe or that gold or silver would be discovered in California, Colorado, Arizona, the Dakota Black Hills, Nevada, Montana, and Alaska! Understandably, the native tribes did not want to abandon the land of their ancestors that lay east of the Mississippi.

THE

The Black Hawk War begins with the story of two chiefs of the Sauk Tribe. Keokuk was a principal war chief of great ability whom William Clark, of the 1804-06 expedition to the northwest, called “the Watchful Fox.” Keokuk, born about 1780 near present Rock River, Illinois, headed the “cooperative band of Sauks who peacefully agreed to move west of the Mississippi.” A member of the Fox clan, he rose to influence in his tribe by his ability and character. Keokuk urged patience as white settlers moved closer to the tribe's ancient lands along the Rock River. He saw the inevitability of resistance and urged accommodation. Clark, Commissioner of Indian Affairs, urged movement west of the Mississippi. On July 15, 1830 he signed a treaty in a council with Sauk and Fox members at Prairie du Chien, Wisc. in which 113 chiefs, including Keokuk, agreed to give the U.S. a 40-mile-wide piece of land totaling over 26 million acres in present Iowa east of the Mississippi. The tribes got an annuity of $2,500 per year for ten years. Yes, it was a paltry amount. However, Dinesh

D'Souza in his latest book "America" explained that, yes, the Indians were coerced to give up their land, but the U.S. is the only country in the history of the world to buy and perPAGES FROM suade rather WESTERN than to conquer and kill native HISTORY peoples as the J’Nell L. Pate main means of expanding. Chief Black Hawk, born in 1867, was a rival to Keokuk, and did not agree with the Treaty of 1830. When he returned from a hunt and found whites occupying his village, digging up graves, burning his ancestor's bones, he called those who agreed with him to join a fight to retake their land. He believed that northern tribes and the British would support him. Earlier, Black Hawk had allied himself with

Canadians during the War of 1812, and consequently his followers were called “the British band.” He led about 500 warriors, plus twice that many women and children back east of the Mississippi to their former homes. As a result, Governor John Reynolds of Illinois called out the militia, and General Edmund P. Gaines (after whom Gainesville, Texas is named) arrived at Rock River with a steamboat and ten companies of regular infantry. Unfortunately the undisciplined militia got ahead of the trained troops. When Indians rode into the militia camp on May 14, 1832 with a white flag and tried to tell the whites that Black Hawk was ready to talk peace, the militia had no interpreter and did not understand. A militiaman fired a shot, and one of the peaceful Sauks was killed. The Sauk emissaries fled, and Black Hawk's warriors attacked. The war was on. Black Hawk tried to maneuver his women and children to safety. Without the support he had expected, he was forced to lead his starving people back toward the Mississippi.

was named) led over 2,000 militia into Illinois and attacked Black Hawk's group. Only 500 of his 1,500 Sauks survived. Then General Henry Atkinson arrived and attacked, resulting in a massacre. Sioux and Winnebagos allied with the whites killed many Sauks and captured Black Hawk, turning him over to Colonel Zachary Taylor (later a general and then president of the U.S.) Lt. Jefferson Davis (later president of the Confederacy) escorted him to Jefferson Barracks in St. Louis. As a result, the Sauks had to give up even more land. Black Hawk spent a few months in a Virginia prison, but in October 1833, the government turned him over to Keokuk and other Sauk leaders, which humiliated him. He lived five more years and died October 3, 1838 in Iowa. Keokuk died April 1848 in Kansas. In 1883 his body was disinterred and moved to Keokuk, Iowa where it lies in the city park with a monument over his grave. 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.

ith less than six w e e k s until election day on Nov. 4, the first of two scheduled gubernatorial debates was held in the Rio Grande Valley city of Edinburg on Sept. 19. Democratic Party nominee for governor Wendy Davis, a state senator from Fort Worth, and Republican Party gubernatorial nominee Greg Abbott, Texas attorney general, fielded questions from Carlos Sanchez, editor of The Monitor, a daily newspaper in McAllen, and Telemundo’s McAllen news anchor Dalila Garza. Abbott and Davis responded to questions for 60 minutes on topics such as border security, economic development, education and education funding, abortion and visions of the future. On education, Abbott said, “I want to put our trust where it belongs, and that is with our teachers, and get all these one-size-fits-all mandates from

Andres Alcantar, chair of the Texas Workforce Commission, encouraged Texas veterans to visit their local Workforce Solutions office “to take advantage of the many tools and services that allow them to translate their military skills and experience into good-paying civilian jobs.” Statue honors innocent man Gov. Rick Perry was present in Lubbock on Sept. 17 for the dedication of a statue honoring the late Timothy Brian Cole, a Texas Tech University student who was wrongfully convicted of rape and died in prison in 1999, after 14 years of incarceration. Perry granted Cole, who always maintained his innocence, a posthumous pardon in 2010. At the ceremony, Perry spoke in honor of Cole and recognized Cole’s late mother, Ruby Cole Session, who was instrumental in passing legislation that created the Tim Cole Advisory Panel on Wrongful Convictions, allowing families of

deceased exonerees a process to receive funds from the state for their wrongful conviction. Cole’s case was brought by the Texas Innocence Project, an organization that fought for DNA testing in 2008 that ultimately proved his innocence. Deposit sets state record The Texas General Land Office on Sept. 17 reported its deposit of more than $1 billion into the state’s Permanent School Fund, “crushing all previous records.” Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson said the record earnings that made such a large deposit possible “are due in large part to hydraulic fracturing technologies, which has private companies competing to outbid each other for access to Permanent School Fund lands that previously were of marginal value.” Now valued in excess of $34 billion, the Permanent School Fund helps pay for the state’s share of elementary and secondary public education.

Defensively, Crawford paced ACS with 14 tackles and Carlson added 11 with a quintet of sacks. The THESA Riders shot themselves in the foot often with multiple penalties, miscues the Crusaders cashed in on. Next for Azle Christian is a Homecoming clash with the ACS QB Joey Rosamond (9) threw for four touchdowns Weatherford Express Friday, Crusader Alex Coffey tosses aside a THESA Rider and rumbles for more yardage during Azle Christian School’s 58-36 victory.

The Buff at Haltom, Thursday, Sept. 25

Burton tops in contest Of all the weeks in the football contest – 11 of them – the one that ran last week was likely the toughest. That’s because an open week for the Hornets forces the selection of games that many contestants are probably not too familiar with. So the perfect 12-0 card turned in by Delores Burton is especially impressive and worthy of the $20 first place check. Three other contestants were off on just one game. So the tie-breaker of Dallas 34, Rams 31 (65) decided places. Taking second and $10 was Kevin Wilson. His tie-breaker prediction was 45. Third place and $5 went to Tripp Burton for a guess of 44. Too far off on his tie-breaker was Royce Daniels at 42. With district starting, the contest will settle down now.

First 5-5A district game pits rivals against each other Azle-Boswell Take the Lake battle resuming by mark k. campbell Take the Lake is back. And it has more importance than ever. Azle (3-0) will travel to Boswell (3-0) as the old archrivals

square off again – and this time it’s as district opponents. The Hornets and Pioneers, both favorites for one of the four playoff slots, are not facing must-win games; with eight

teams in 5-5A, a squad could still finish 6-1. But starting district play with a victory is a big moral boost. Azle Coach Devon Dorris said, “Boswell is talented. They run Baylor concepts on offense.” The Pioneer offense is powered by a newcomer to the team, running back Reginald Macon. Defensively, the Pioneers have one of the top players in Texas in nose guard Dominic Hill (6-0, 285). “He’s one of the best defensive lineman in the state,” Dorris noted. The AHS coach said controlling Hill will be vital for the Hornets’ running chances. But don’t expect Azle to throw in any crazy new twists, he said. “We do what we do,” Dorris said. Azle spent the off week working on technique, he added. “We worked on fixing some of the errors of previous weeks and we got better with the extra week.” he said. Azle will be without speedy senior Tyler Albers who tore

his left ACL against Cleburne. As a sophomore, he had torn the right one. “He’s handling it very well,” Dorris said, “and he has the kids’ support.” The Boswell game begins rugged district play where no game is a gimme. “Anybody has a chance,” Dorris said. Preseason favorites were the two Wichita Falls schools, Denton, Boswell, and Azle. It all begins to shake out at 7 A second ACL injury, this time to the other knee, has ended Tyler Albers’ season.

Movie Man

Wednesday, September 24, 2014

Some call it Maze: YA film kind of corny late Trends in Hollywood are always copied. When teens flocked to Young Adult (YA) novel adaptations thanks to Harry Potter, Twilight, and The Hunger Games, the rush was on. Yet, fickle teenagers have turned their collective noses up at most of the latest YA cinematic efforts. About the film The list of misfires is long, including the still in theaters (if you hurry) The Giver as well as recent releases like Beautiful Creatures, The Host, and The Mortal Instruments. A couple with sequel possibilities have been decent successes, but they were not monster breakouts as hoped. Ender’s Game (2013, Movie Man No. 1060, a 6) and Divergent weren’t giant hits but could get sequels – the latter for sure (Insurgent, currently set for March 20, 2015; Divergent took in $151 million in America – the Movie Man skipped Divergent for 300: Rise of an Empire [MM #1079, 7]), the former maybe. Still, the YA wave could be fading. It’s too early to tell if The Maze Runner’s $32-plus million dollar take in its first week will be enough to inspire further adaptations. However, The Hunger Games: Mockingjay – Part 1 will be massive (it could reel in Guardians of the Galaxy [which should end up around $340 million] as the biggest movie of 2014). That, and a good showing by next year’s Insurgent might be enough to keep the YA trend going. One negative aspect for YA movies is that they don’t perform well worldwide. Unlike action movies, a lukewarm U.S. reception to a teen film bodes poorly for overseas take; however, even a “bomb” action film takes in big money elsewhere. For example, The Expend-

ables 3 has made just $38.9 million so far this summer; it’ll likely peak at $40 million. But internationally, the film has taken in another $150.1 million. So The Expendables 4 might show up well before Ender’s Game 2. The plot (spoiler) Thomas (Dylan O’Brien) awakens to find himself in a rising metal mesh elevator. When it stops, several young men, in their teens and early 20’s, peer down at him. O’Brien does not know why he’s there or even his name. He learns from the group’s leader, Alby (Ami Ameen), that he is the monthly arrival from the mysterious elevator, along with some supplies. Ameen explains that a group of males lives and survives in “the glade” that’s completely surrounded by a massive wall. One part of the wall opens daily and contains a gigantic, changing maze. The group survives by taking specific jobs, farmers, shelter-builders, etc. The elite job is “runner” – speedy dudes who race through the maze, mapping it, and making sure they return by nightfall. Monstrous creatures patrol the twists and turns at night and no “glader” has ever lived through the night in the maze. O’Brien earns the respect of most of his mates with a brave act and earns the honor of becoming a runner. Then something happens that has never occurred to the boys before – a girl arrives in the elevator, clutching a note that says she will be the last person sent. When O’Brien kills one of the maze monsters, a “griever,” a metallic “key” is found inside it. He determines that the way to the group’s salvation is to enter the maze and use the key at the appropriate

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man part of the maze, No. 7. Not everyone agrees, especially when grievers leave that maze and ravage the glade, and some, led by tough guy Gally (Will Poulter), refuse to enter the maze. Grievers descend on the group inside as they struggle to get to No. 7. They succeed but find something they did not expect. Then something else they didn’t expect. Then, a final twist that sets up a sequel. What works Early on, The Maze Runner is very effective and mysterious. Figuring out what’s going on is fun then. (But also see What doesn’t work.) O’Brien is good as the confused guy who keeps having queer dreams that hold the key to what’s up. There’s not a lot of computer generation here, and that’s OK. The maze is cool and so are the grievers. The soundtrack gives away clues that the critters aren’t what they seem and point to a not very surprising twist late. (The aural tactic was used to much greater effect in the unfairly maligned Vanilla Sky [2001, MM #434, 6].) The Movie Man was distressed initially that O’Brien sure figures things out easily; how did he know the metallic cylinder was a key?

And why should they enter No. 7 where gladers know that’s where all the grievers are? Then one of the twist endings made it make a little more sense. That was a nice move. Best scene The escaping group has maneuvered through the maze and battled several grievers to get to No. 7. A coded door is opened and they enter into a long hallway. That leads to a small door that simply reads, “Exit.” After all they’ve been through, one of the gladers says, “Seriously?” at the obviousness of it all. That was the best (and lone) chuckle

in the movie. What doesn’t work (spoiler) The characters are fuzzy, and the female, Teresa (Kaya Scodelario), whose role is vital, kind of disappears. The initial twist is so obvious (hint: the best horror movie of the last 10 years, The Cabin in the Woods [MM #978, 8] got there first two years ago) that it feels like an insult. There is such a horrible cliché in the movie that it got docked a point. It’s the ol’ take-a-bullet-for-the-leaderbut-ask-him-to-deliver-yourbeloved-homemade-trinketto-your-parents-as-you-die bit. It’s unintentionally funny. The greatest crime is the blatant way The Maze Runner sets up its sequel hopes; a character literally says as the movie’s last line that now it’s time for “phase two.” The final 10 minutes are horribly cliché and a bummer.

Our national anthem turns 200 by mark k. campbell The British were bombing Fort McHenry in Baltimore Harbor on Sept. 13, 1814. Already in the War of 1812, the invaders had burned the U.S. Capitol, the Treasury Building, and the presidential home. Now, watching The Battle of Baltimore from sea, Francis Scott Key, an attorney and amateur poet, was sure the British were about to claim another victory. For 25 hours, Fort McHenry was pounded relentlessly while Key sat in his ship in the harbor, watched over by enemy

vessels. He had boarded British boats earlier, trying to negotiate for the release of a captured surgeon. The attack was so fierce that Key said, “It seemed as though mother earth had opened and was vomiting shot and shell in a sheet of fire and brimstone.” Dawn neared, and Key was certain the Union Jack would be flying over Fort McHenry. But it was not. At “the dawn’s early light,” the American flag still flew; no surrender was made and the British retreated.

Pen to paper at sea Key started writing his poem on the back of a letter while still on his ship. He put his words to a then-popular English tune, “The Anacreontic Song.” His brother-in-law, a commander at Fort McHenry, read it, passed it out among his men, and had it published in the Baltimore Patriot newspaper as “Defence of Fort M’Henry.” Soon, with a new title – “The Star-Spangled Banner” – the poem was printed across America. While Key might have borrowed a phrase from Shakespeare – who twice used “star”

‘The Star-Spangled Banner’ began as a poem

and “spangled” together in plays – it was Key who came up with “In God We Trust” in verse four: Then conquer we must, when our cause is just, And this be our motto: ‘In God is our trust.’ Today, In God We Trust adorns our currency. Becoming an anthem It took some doing to make “The Star-Spangled Banner” our national anthem. The tune was adopted by the North during the Civil War, along with “Yankee Doodle Dandy.” (The South sang “Dixie.”) In the late 1800’s, the military used the song for ceremonial purposes. By 1917, the army and navy played “The Star-Spangled Banner” at all ceremonies. Other patriotic songs were popular – “My Country ‘Tis of Thee” and “Hail, Columbia” especially. But, a move was underway in America to make “The StarSpangled Banner” the official national anthem. However, it took decades. President Woodrow Wilson had signed an order naming the song the national anthem for military ceremonies in 1916. But the tune was still not considered universally as the nation’s anthem. Politically, no fewer than 40 attempts at getting it so designated failed. Finally, Congress got it done, on March 3, 1931, and Presi- Old Glory survived a vicious bombing by the British dent Herbert Hoover signed it that inspired the anthem.

they arise. Blowouts Worn tire treads increase the risk of punctures, which can lead to blowouts. Bald tires also may blowout as a result of friction on roadways that is met with minimal rubber. Getting caught on the side of the road with a tire blowout can be a hassle, so routinely check tire treads and replace tires accordingly. Tread depth Average new tires on cars usually start with 10/32 inch to 11/32 inch of original tread depth. When tread reaches a depth of 2/32 inch, they are considered worn out. There are different ways to gauge tread depth. Insert a penny into the tread groove with Lincoln’s head upside down and facing you. If you can see all of Lincoln’s head, it is time to replace the tires. Another coin test is to insert a quarter into the groove.

If the tread touches Washington’s head, you have at least 4/32 inch of tread left. Don’t have any currency on hand? Then look at the treadwear indicator bar molded into the tires. When these bars become flush with the adjacent ribs of the tire, the tires should be replaced. Alignment According to the Rubber Manufacturers Association, improper alignment causes rapid or uneven treadwear. Tires should be aligned and balanced periodically to avoid irregular wear and having to replace tires prematurely. Tread pattern Tires feature different tread patterns depending on the brand of tire. They may be directional, asymmetrical, nondirectional, and directional/asymmetrical. When purchasing replacement

tires, it is adviseable to match the tread pattern to the existing tires. This helps enhance the performance of the car. In fact, some newer cars require tread to match. Mismatched treads may cause problems with transmission shifting or impact control and steadiness. Tire pressure Underinflation of tires can cause failure, stress and irregular wear. Underinflated tires also may contribute to loss of control that leads to accidents. Always maintain the manufacturer’s recommendations for the correct pressure, which should be adjusted based on the temperature. Tires should undergo the same inspection and maintenance as other parts of the vehicle. Tires are a vital component to safe driving, and routine maintenance can prevent accidents and other problems.

Restoring headlights can dramatically improve visibility The road can be unpredictable, and many things can compromise driver safety. Though some of these things, like smartphones and loud music, are easily avoided distractions, some safety risks require a little more effort to overcome. Such is the case with cloudy headlights. Cloudy headlights can compromise a driver’s vision, putting motorists and their passengers at risk of accident and injury. Though it’s easy to overlook headlights when performing routine vehicle maintenance, drivers should know that, as headlights age, they become discolored and develop a hazy or yellowed appearance due to exposure to the sunlight, pollution, ozone and chemicals used in car washes. As headlights become increasingly hazy, they emit less light and glare increases significantly. “Driving with headlights that have become clouded over

time leaves drivers vulnerable to risky driving conditions,” said Ann-Marie Hines, Senior Marketing Manager of Philips Automtoive. “These dim headlights function improperly for drivers, limiting the amount of light on the road, and actually dramatically increase the glare that other drivers see.” Fortunately, ensuring optimal headlight performance can be relatively simple and dramatically improve visibility, ensuring the safety of drivers and their passengers. * Clean headlights before driving in inclement weather. Drivers know to clean their windshields before hitting the road in snowstorms, but few drivers exercise the same caution with their headlights. Salt from snowy roads or debris blown about from seasonal winds can accumulate on headlight lenses, decreasing their effectiveness and light output

as a result. So before hitting the road in inclement weather, be sure to remove any dirt or film from headlight lenses that might have built up over time. * Address headlight issues before they appear. Though headlights will inevitably wear down over time, drivers can still take preventative measures to improve the performance of their headlights so their visibility is not compromised. The Philips Headlight Restoration Kit includes a pre-treatment that provides long-lasting UV protection for headlight lenses. Thanks to the kit, which also includes a cleaner/polish and restorer/protector, drivers can restore a headlight lens in as little as 30 minutes. Drivers hesitant to perform their own restoration can calm their nerves by taking advantage of a short how-to video that shows motorists how to restore headlight lens clarity in a matter of min-

utes. The video, which can be found at www.philipsautolighting.com/headlightkit, can help drivers restore their headlights to “like new” quality while increasing visibility and reducing glare. * Replace headlight bulbs. Much like light bulbs used in a home, headlight bulbs tend to wear down over time. Humidity, electrical resistance, filament fatigue and general usage combine to reduce the light output of headlight bulbs, which experts recommend should be replaced every two years. When replacing headlight bulbs, drivers can upgrade existing bulbs with a new generation of high performance light bulbs that mark a dramatic improvement over the traditional halogen bulbs which are standard on many vehicles. Philips Upgrade Headlight Bulbs are designed to put substantially more light on the road while

creating a better beam pattern that is much longer than that produced by standard halogen bulbs. Available in a variety of brands, these uniquely designed bulbs are even tailored to meet specific driver’s needs, ensuring commuters, soccer moms and sports enthusiasts won’t fall victim to poor visibility no matter where their travels take them. * Routinely clean your vehicle’s glass and mirrors. Dirty and aging headlight lenses are not the only thing that can compromise a driver’s vision on the road. Debris and film buildup on windshield glass and on

rear- and side-view mirrors can reduce vision, especially for drivers who smoke inside their vehicles. Make cleaning the glass and mirrors inside and outside of your vehicle part of your routine vehicle maintenance. Such cleaning won’t take very long, but it will significantly improve visibility. When cleaning side-view mirrors, be sure to properly adjust them to eliminate blind spots. More information is available at www.philips.com/automotive.
