Special Crimes Unit halts organized drug ring Azle, ‘Bay PDs part of expansive roundup by carla noah stutsman Since July, investigators with the Weatherford-Parker County Special Crimes Unit (W-PC SCU or unit) have been working to shut down an organization that distributed large amounts of methamphetamine into parts of Tarrant, Parker, Wise, and Palo Pinto counties, into Oklahoma and possibly even into Louisiana and Arkansas. Information obtained during that investigation led investigators to believe the drugs were being distributed from a location in Sansom Park as well as in Two suspects remain at large and the Weatherford-Parker County Pelican Bay.

Now that seven of the nine individuals targeted by the investigation have been arrested and charged with engaging in organized crime in connection with the case, investigators could use the public’s help to nab the remaining two.

Drums over Azle AHS drumline debuting new program Jan. 29

by carla noah stutsman The Azle High School Indoor Drumline will reveal its highly anticipated 2015 competition show, Up in the Air, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29, in the main gym at the school. Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students.

Wildfire Training Azle native and longtime firefighter Eddy Wood served as an instructor for the second annual North Texas Wildfire Academy sponsored by Tarrant County College Fire Service Training Center and Texas A&M Forest Service. About 80 firefighters – some from as far away as Canada – participated in classroom and field training to learn to fight fire without water. Firefighters with all levels of experience learned the use of specific hand tools as well as techniques like burnouts to remove fuel. Hands-on training was conducted Jan. 16 at the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge. On Jan. 18, live fire training was conducted in a large hayfield and tank on Boyd Road, just below and west of the bridge across Walnut Creek. Photos by Carla Noah Stutsman

Springtown man dies in motorcycle mishap by carla noah stutsman A Springtown man has died as a result of injuries he suffered early Saturday morning, Jan. 17, when he was thrown from a motorcycle just east of Azle. Michael Clay Clark, 33, died at 6:13 p.m. the following day, Sunday, Jan. 18, in the operating room of a Fort Worth hospital. His death was caused by blunt force trauma to the head, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner. The accident occurred in the

2000 block of Jacksboro Highway, east of the Azle city limits near Western Center Boulevard. The Azle Police Department is investigating the accident because of its proximity to the location. According to Detective Sgt. Kevin Rogers of the Azle PD, there were no witnesses to the actual accident; a passing motorist reported it but did not see what happened. When Azle officers arrived, they located Clark in a bar

ditch on the north side of the highway. “It appears Mr. Clark was westbound near Western Center when he may have hit a curb and was thrown from his bike,” Rogers said. Clark was transported to a Intent on reducing speed violators on county roads, (l-r) Precinct One Constable Fort Worth hospital where he Larry Nix, Commissioner George Conley, and Deputy Constable Charlie Hunt obwas receiving treatment at the tained two radar units and two mobile data computers for the Constables’ vehicles.

Varsity, JV Winterguard preview new shows Friday by carla noah stutsman The Azle High School Varsity and Junior Varsity Winterguards will preview their 2015 competition shows in the main AHS gym at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23, in a free show for the public. Both groups will compete the following morning in their first North Texas Colorguard Association (NTCA) competition of the season at Birdville Coliseum. The varsity Winterguard’s show is called Find Yourself, but directors Debra Oldroyd and Karen St. Valentine were

reticent to provide details. “I just have to say come see it to find out what it’s all about,” Oldroyd laughed, hinting at something spectacular. Likewise, the JV Winterguard’s show, What Goes Around Comes Around, is equally promising, she added. Merchandise, including tshirts and concession items, will be available for purchase at the preview, but there is no admission charge. The AHS Varsity Winterguard competes in the National A classification, and will represent

Azle at the Winterguard International World Championships April 16-17 in Dayton, Ohio. The NTCA Regional A Class Champion AHS JV Winterguard will also compete locally and around the region this year. “These students are doing well and working really hard because they want to bring it home,” Oldroyd said. Those who’d like to follow the AHS Winterguard online can check periodically at ntcaonline.com. You can also get competition results from Dayton at wgi.org.

from the Lake Worth area since his vehicle was equipped with radar. “When you’re driving 87 in a 60 mph zone, you’re going to get pulled over,” Hunt said. “We want to give people a break, but sometimes they don’t give us much to work with.” The MDCs will allow the constables to run license plates to check for stolen vehicles, check drivers’ licenses and criminal records, and receive automated calls for service – all from their vehicle without going through a dispatcher. As for the cost of the new equipment, Precinct One taxpayers got a great deal, too. The county purchased four MDCs and three radar units and got a fourth radar unit free. The cost for each MDC was discounted because of a delay in delivery. Because Conley brokered the deal, Precinct One received the free radar unit making it the only Parker County precinct with two. Total cost allocated to Precinct One was $10,500, Conley said, and included the equipment, installation, air cards and licensing. “I think it will slow people down and save some lives,” Conley said. “And I think there’ll be more people happy than mad.”

This is all about safety and not about revenue,” he said. As they go about their daily business – serving papers to residents within Precinct One – the radar units will be on, however. The units can detect speeds, whether a vehicle is traveling the same direction as the constable or coming toward it. “We won’t be writing a lot of tickets at first,” Nix said. “In fact, for the first 30 days, we will mostly issue warnings and let people get used to the idea that we’re out there.” But don’t be fooled. Blatant violators will be dealt with accordingly. Hunt has already recovered a motorcycle that was stolen

by carla noah stutsman Parker County Precinct One Constable Larry Nix knows some people will be mighty upset to learn that his vehicle and that of Deputy Constable Charlie Hunt are now equipped with radar. “But there are plenty of people who are going to be really happy about it, too,” Nix says. Nix, Hunt, and Precinct One Commissioner George Conley gathered in the parking lot of the Parker County SubCourthouse in Springtown to show off the newly-installed speed-detecting gadgets, along with mobile data computers (MDCs). Conley said that after several years of budget limitations that made obtaining the radar and MDCs for county constables impossible, he decided to bring the request before Commissioners Court this year. It passed. In fact, Precinct 4 Constable Scott Jones, and Joe Harris, Constable Precinct 2, each now have a vehicle equipped with radar and an MDC. Precinct 3 Constable Glen Praytor opted not to participate. “I got so many complaints about traffic on these county roads – these back roads – I knew we had to do something,” Conley said. “The population in this county is projected to double in the next 15 years, but

NEWS DIGEST Red Solo Cup fundraiser Jan. 24

Amber Ott Jenkins, left, and her sister, Annie Ott Siharath, have many happy memories of their late dad, Lt. Norman Ott. Jenkins is event lead for the 2015 Azle Relay For Life.

Azle Relay For Life gears up to fight cancer by carla noah stutsman Amber Ott Jenkins hates cancer with a passion. It stole her father from her when she was just 19 years old. “He wasn’t able to walk me or my sister down the aisle, and he never got to meet his grandchildren,” Jenkins says. “There are so many milestones he never saw because he fought cancer.” Her father was Lt. Norman Ott, beloved Azle police and DARE Officer who even served as Interim Azle Police Chief for a time. That vibrant, active officer and father fought valiantly, and his daughter insists it’s a battle he didn’t lose. “I refuse to let cancer win anything, ever,” Jenkins said. That’s the same attitude her friend Brandi Dickey had. Although Dickey died in October 2014 of melanoma, the 33-year-old never stopped battling, and her family and friends have vowed to continue that fight. That’s why Jenkins stepped up to become event lead for Azle Relay For Life. The event, benefiting the

American Cancer Society, is slated for 6 p.m.-midnight Friday, April 24 at Central Park, 263 West Main Street. This year’s theme is Carnival for a Cure. A kickoff event is set for Thursday, Jan. 29, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Azle, 1017 Boyd Road. “Cancer affects us all – it seems we all have friends or family who barely started their lives and never got a chance,” Jenkins said. “After losing Brandi, I decided enough was enough and joined Azle Relay For Life. It’s an amazing group of people who all have stories of friends, family, and loved ones they fight for.” “We are all there for one reason and that’s to fight back for the hope of a cure,” she continued. “Azle’s Relay will be a night of celebration for those who are survivors, those currently fighting and for those we’ve lost.

Betty Horton of U.S. Health Advisors encourages beginning the New Year by making a plan to succeed – be SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant, and timelimited.

Resolve smart in 2015 Many people start the New Year bursting with energy, inspired by the promise of a fresh new year and making resolutions that somehow get lost along the way. Making and keeping commitments to improving our health, our finances, and our relationships is a terrific idea. With that in mind, here are some helpful tips to help you set and achieve your goals. Set goals that are realistic and measurable. It would be unhealthy and impossible to lose 50 pounds in one week through non-surgical methods. According to the Mayo Clinic, to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week, you need to burn 500 to 1,000 calories more than you consume each day, through a lower calorie diet and regular exercise. Make sure that your goals are SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-limited. Look for small wins as incremental measures to reach your overall goal. The Harvard Business Review article Small Wins and Feeling Good states that “breaking such problems down into a series of more modest steps, all on the path to the ultimate goal, reduces fear, clarifies direction, and increases the probability of early successful outcomes – boosting support for further action.” Enjoy your successes. Celebrate milestones along the way. Do your research. Chances are someone else has successfully accomplished a goal similar to yours. That person may have some valuable ideas that can help you keep your resolution.

Make it visual. Write keywords or notes of encouragement on Post-it notes, or draw or collect images of your goal and put these visual reminders somewhere where you can see them often. Invite supportive family members and friends to help you keep on track. Quitting smoking? Find others who are doing the same thing. Want to start exercising? It’s more fun to workout with a friend. Take time to de-stress. Take a walk, spend time with your pets, get more sleep, exercise, meditate, practice yoga or attend religious services. Stress can derail our plans and cause us to pick up the very habits we are trying to get rid of. Plan for the bumps in the road. According to the University of Scranton, Journal of Clinical Psychology, 36% of people abandon resolutions after the first month and 54% after 6 months. Set strategies to help you get past prime “quitting time” and keep moving forward toward your goal. If you do get sidetracked, all is not lost. Forgive yourself and get back with the program. It’s not about perfection; it’s about ultimately achieving your goal. You have the power to make positive change in your life. This year, resolve smart and enjoy your newfound success in 2015!

THAZ adds new doctor

Azle Police Blotter Officers with the Azle Police Department arrested the following individuals during the two-week period of Jan. 4-17: • Ivan Robles, 22, of Azle, was arrested Jan. 8 in the 600 block of Alameda Road and charged with injury to a child/ elderly/disabled, a third-degree felony. He was transferred to the Tarrant County jail, where he remains in lieu of $15,000 bond. • Daniel Maze, 37, of Azle, was arrested Jan. 10 in the 500 block of Commerce Street and charged with driving while intoxicated, his second DWI. He posted $7,500 bond and was released from the Azle jail. • Casey Joe Rice, 28, of Paradise, was arrested in the 11500 block of Jacksboro Highway near Hanger Cutoff Road Jan. 14

Ivan Robles and charged with driving while intoxicated and unlawfully carrying a weapon. Dispatchers received multiple 911 calls shortly before midnight reporting a vehicle traveling east in the westbound lanes of Highway 199. The first callers reported the vehicle west of Azle; by the

time police caught up to him, Rice was east of Azle. The officer observed Rice – who was now in the correct lane – swerving between lanes, crossing lane markers, and initiated a traffic stop. Rice was subsequently arrested for DWI and the weapons charge. He posted $3,500 bond for the DWI charge and $5,000 for the weapon charge and was released from the Azle jail the following day. • Sean Gary Mills, 35, no address listed, was arrested in the 1000 block of Gladstone Avenue Jan. 15 and charged with burglary of a habitation with intent to commit another felony, a first-degree felony. He was transferred to the Tarrant County jail, where he remains in lieu of $25,000 bond.

Sean Gary Mills Azle officers arrested 18 additional individuals for outstanding warrants issued by various law enforcement agencies during the same time frame. They wrote three citations for public intoxication and three for possession of drug paraphernalia.

Texas Health Azle has a new doctor. The hospital welcomed Kanayochukwu “Kanny” Aluka, M.D., FACS, to its medical staff as general surgery and wound care services medical director. She is a fellowship-trained general surgeon whose areas of focus are advanced laparoscopy, breast pathology, and wound care procedures. According to Dr. Aluka, deciding on a career in general surgery was a great fit: “Helping people restore health and wellness in their lives is something I take great pride in doing.” Despite growing up in Houston, Dr. Aluka admits to enjoying working in small towns. “I really like getting to know my patients. Aside from being able to physically help make a dif-

Dr. Kanayochukwu “Kanny” Aluka ference in their lives, the strong sense of community is very gratifying.” Dr. Aluka graduated from The University of Texas Southwestern Medical School. She completed her residency training at Howard University Hospital in Washington, D.C.

Hornets champions of Aledo tournament Azle, undefeated, wins both tourneys this season by mark k. campbell Another tournament, another title. The latest addition to the Azle High School trophy case was claimed by the Hornet soccer varsity with a victory in an Aledo tourney. In sunny January weather, AHS (8-0) did not permit a goal, winning three matches. That’s a tribute to keeper Austin McCash and the backline in front of him – Ben Davis, Mason Mendell, Grant Mendell, and Giovanni Rios. After starting with a 4-0 thumping of Burleson, Azle broke open a 0-0 contest at halftime and beat the hosts 4-0, too. In that contest, Dylan Tritton turned in a hat trick, scoring a trio of goals. Nathan Mejia got the other one. The Hornets won the championship trophy with a 2-0 blanking of Crowley. No All-Tournament Team was picked but a Most Valuable Player was. That honor went to Hornet Javier Mejia. The Most Valuable Player of the Aledo tournament, Azle’s Javier Mejia (15), is about to fire a shot past an Aledo The victories kept Azle unBearcat.

Surrounded by her Azle teammates, Lady Hornet Sarah Brown signs a letter of intent to play softball for Seminole State College in Oklahoma.

Azle’s Trevor Boiles inks to play baseball at North Central Texas College. With him are Juliann Boiles (seated) and (back, l-r) Ronnie Boiles, Stacey Boiles, AHS Coach Anthony Barron, and NCTC Coach Scott Harp.

Rider tops Azle A trip to Wichita Falls to face Rider was a tough one for the Hornet hoops squad. With scoring and turnover woes, Azle lost 77-28 in the 5-5A clash. Rider, state ranked at No. 23 in 5A, rushed out to a 20-3 first quarter lead and did not look back. AHS shot just 26 percent while the Raiders nailed 60 percent of its field goals and 7 more 3-pointers. Azle shot just 5 free throws, making 1. Bowen Moyer led the Hornets with 8 points. Jamie King and Trey Ramos added 6 each. Fred Amyett blocked a shot for Azle. Next up is a trip to Saginaw Jan. 23.

Coach Ben Buentello is proud of but cautious of at the same time. “I told our players that it is a great start to the year, and it does give us confidence heading into district play. “But I also explained to them that the ultimate goal is to make it to the ‘big tournament’ at the end of the year,” the coach said. That’s the state event, set for Georgetown April 15-18. There’s something else about being successful, Buentello noted: “Success is two-fold because it puts a target on their backs and every team we face from now on will throw everything they have at us. “We have to be ready for that.” The Lady Hornets also played in Aledo. Azle opened with a 3-0 loss to Fort Worth South Hills. The next day, AHS scored early and put away Dumas. That sent the Lady Hornets to the third place match, but Azle tumbled. Next up for all squads is District 5-5A opening matches against Boswell Jan. 27.

Hoops girls end first round of 5-5A second A 46-22 victory over Brewer Jan. 13 set up a battle between two state-ranked girls basketball teams at Wichita Falls Jan. 16. Against Brewer Jan. 13, Payton Berger led with 15 points and 7 rebounds; Taylor Fulfer scored 14. That home win made the final game of first round of 5-5A play for first place against then No. 9 Rider. The game was close – 10-8 – after one period. But the hosts pulled away and won 52-41. The defeat dropped Azle into a tie with Saginaw for second in district but did not hamper AHS’ Texas Association of Basketball Coaches state ranking which stayed a 16. Berger led Azle again at Rider, with 19 points while Valarie Matlock added 11. Kylee Brown’s 9 rebounds paced the team. Subvarsities – The JV beat Brewer 45-23 behind 10 points from Rachel Wood. Next, the AHS JV fell to Rider 45-42 as Cassidy Bowen scored 10 and Breeona Cannon

Wrestlers pin down more mat victories Azle competes in Vernon The Azle High School wrestling teams ventured northwest to compete in the Red River Tournament in Vernon. The Lady Hornets finished as runner-ups in the team competition, beating out 10 other squads. Six AHS girls placed. The boys finished fourth out of 18 teams with six Hornets placing. The girls were led by a pair of gold medal winners – Lauren Dale at 136 pounds and Hali Davis at 110. Veteran Ruby Ariosa (102) took a silver at Vernon while Denise Perez finished third. Also placing were Hollie Taylor and Raelyn Temple, both fourth. Six Hornets picked up points at the event.

Marshall Gilbreath (195) finished second, losing his first match of 2015, Azle Coach Chris Allen recalled. Jimmy Fager (113) also earned a silver medal. Colten Clearwater (152) took third. Also pointing were Tyler Stewart, fourth at 160, and Seth Bell, sixth a 182. Azle hosts a tri-dual Thursday, Jan. 22 on Senior Night. Then comes a break before the district event Feb. 6 at Saginaw Chisholm Trail HS. That stay-home stretch between the final regular season competition and district is planned, Allen said. Aside from letting injuries heal somewhat, his young squad will be vying for team berths. “We’ll have a lot of wrestle-offs,” Allen said.

Recent book reviews story of North Texas vigilante hangings

istorians like to commemorate anniversaries of important events. The year 2012 was the 150th anniversary of vigilante action in North Texas which resulted in the hanging of 42 men. Two citizens knowledgeable of the happenings in 1862 wrote accounts that told somewhat differing stories. Dr. Thomas Barrett's essay was published in 1885, and the other by George Washington Diamond remained unseen for over a century. Combined into one volume, the Texas State Historical Association published both accounts in 1963 with the title "The Great Hanging in Gainesville, 1862. Recently the TSHA added an Introduction by historian Dr. Richard B. McCaslin based on his book, Tainted Breeze and republished the earlier book. Through the years the citizens of Gainesville, located on I-35 about five miles south of the Oklahoma border, did not like talking about the hangings. In the 2012 book Dr. McCaslin, chairman of the history department at the University of North Texas, gave an overview of what happened. The census of 1860 in Cooke County indicated that most of the population did not own slaves, but well-todo slave owners dominated the local economy and for many years had held most political offices.

Bewley after finding he possessed a letter that apparently tied him to a secret order. Of the 19 counties in Texas where a majority rejected secession, eight were in North Texas – Cooke, Grayson, Collin, Montague, Fannin, Wise, Jack, and Lamar. Dr. Barrett, who served on the jury, had argued that the verdict should be unanimous, or at least two-thirds for guilt. He wrote in his account that not all the men in the Peace Party were Unionists. Some joined the organization simply because they did not want war. One had the feeling that Dr. Barrett was defending his own actions for being a member of the Court. Diamond's account of events staunchly supported the Citizen's Court. He said people feared a slave insurrection. He argued that Court rulings were due process and not vigilante action. Sentiment through the years has not been sympathetic to the vigilantism and quick hangings. After republication of the book on the hangings in 2012, the city of Gainesville held a symposium on the event, remembering the lives lost. If one ever doubted it, during the Civil War strong emotions prevailed, even in Texas, the most western state of the Confederacy. 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.

ings. Because of what appears to be the onset of dementia, she has gotten lost while out and about. Her apartment, while comfortable, is more and more insufficient for her daily needs. She lost her twin sister and roommate almost a year ago and she’s been pretty lonely ever since. It appears that the time has come to make that hard decision about moving her to a place where she will get better care. No, I’m not talking about a mother or an aunt; I’m talking about a Golden Retriever. I’ve mentioned her a few times in previous LIFE MATTERS posts, most recently from Gerry Lewis December 1, 2014 (“Fear Not … Seriously!”). She makes me crazy, but I’m going to miss her when she’s gone. I’ve been dreading the day when her health might necessitate the difficult quality of life decision. It was hard on me when that call had to be made with her sister. (“Saying Goodbye to a Fetching Friend” – March 3, 2014). But a new conversation came up a few weeks before Christmas that resulted in the longest car ride of her life this past weekend. We took her to Amarillo to live with the little girl who, almost 13 years ago, saved up her money for her dream puppy, researched all the best ways to “test” a puppy, and fell in love with a beautiful little golden bundle of fur when she visited the breeder. Favorite daughter named that little puppy Kiley Ann Lewis and trained her, loved her, groomed her, and made her very much the center of attention until the girl went off to college and the dog stayed home. Now the little girl is a grown up married woman and mother of my perfect granddaughter. They have a house with a big yard and have decided that they would like to be Kiley’s assisted living facility, where she can live out her days being pampered and getting a whole lot more attention than old Dr. Grandpa can give her. She’ll get to sleep inside the house and be stroked and groomed and petted by the first hands that ever showed her that kind of love. She’ll also get to frequently be touched by little hands that Dr. Grandpa wishes he could hold more often than he does. I’m not sure what spiritual lesson there is in all this except that I want everyone to know that God is right in the middle of our lives. Every blessed moment comes from Him. Every joy. Every blessing. Every expression of love and loyalty. Every treasured memory. Our lives matter so much to Him that…there is nothing about our lives that does NOT matter to Him. I’ve had both misty eyes and a big smile while writing this today. I hope you’ve had the same in reading. 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.

Perry gives his parting speech as governor as legislative session begins

ov. Rick Perry delivered his farewell address to a joint session of the House and Senate on Jan. 15 on day three of the 140-day regular session of the 84th Texas Legislature. Before recounting various aspects of the state’s performance during his record-breaking tenure as chief executive, Perry said, “I have come here to reflect on what we have done together, and to say farewell. But most of all, to tell you it has been the highest of honors to serve as your governor for the last 14 years.” Perry painted a picture of Texas “as a land of unlimited opportunity” with mentions of such items as job growth, the booming oil and gas industry, various other economic drivers, fiscal management, education and public safety. “While some still struggle in the shadows of opportunity, we have created tremendous possibilities for millions of Texans. While the rest of the nation has lost middle class jobs, Texas has created them,” Perry said. He also reminded the audience of challenges recently faced, such as

“the disintegration of the Space Shuttle Columbia, Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Ike, devastating wildfires, the spread of Ebola and a humanitarian crisis at the border.” Wrapping up, Perry said, “I couldn’t pick a better successor as governor than (former Texas Attorney General) Greg Abbott. And he couldn’t have two better partners to lead this state than (Lieutenant Governor and former Senator) Dan Patrick and (House Speaker) Joe Straus. As I bid farewell, I know the future is in good hands.” Straus reelected as speaker State Rep. Joe Straus, R-San Antonio, was elected to a fourth consecutive term as speaker of the Texas House of Representatives on Jan. 13, opening day of the 84th Texas Legislature. The vote was 128-19 in favor of Straus. The 19 votes were for second-term state Rep. Scott Turner, R-Frisco, a businessman and former National Football League player.

ennium. And, about $5 billion will be set aside for transfers to the Rainy Day Fund and State Highway Fund. The resulting $113 billion represents the estimated revenue available to the Legislature for general purpose spending in the next biennium, according to the comptroller’s office. Hegar noted, “The significant drop in oil prices in recent months will likely lead to a marked slowdown in oil exploration and production. This slowdown will dampen overall economic growth in Texas. However,” he added, “in addition to the economic boost felt by Texas motorists as a result of lower gasoline prices, there are industries in Texas’ diverse economy such as transportation and some manufacturing that will benefit from lower energy prices. This, coupled with continued strength in construction, professional services and other sectors of the broader economy, should somewhat counterbalance a slowdown in the energy sector.”

Obama, Kerry hit wrong notes over in Paris Dear Editor: With the recent horrors of terrorism in man’s inhumanity to one another, the leaders of the free world wanted to join in unison with each other to denounce this evil form of life in a solitary march in Paris, France Jan. 11. Was Barack Obama, America’s leader and president, there representing us along with the other leaders? Of course, not! Mr. Obama has bigger fish to fry; as we learned through the media, he was busy double dipping cheese dip watching NFL playoff games and wondering, like the rest of us, was it a catch or not by Dez Bryant. In a perverse sort of way, this behavior didn’t move any seismograph needles off the charts as that is what we expect from his conduct for six years now. Then, on Jan. 16, Secretary of State John Kerry – by direction of the government – was sent to France to mollify things for our president’s total dereliction of duty (AWOL) and his not taking terrorism seriously. What does Mr. Kerry do to appease? He’s dusting off an old hippie musician, James Taylor, to play and warble one of his sappiest tunes, “You’ve Got a Friend” to the French foreign minister and the president of France. If anyone had seen this folly in the news of Mr. Kerry standing wooden, his eyes closed and weeping and mouthing the lyrics of Mr. Taylor’s song – coupled with Mr. Taylor contorting himself to reach the microphones – one would think that this was a rerun of a Saturday Night Live skit. Personally, I hadn’t seen Kerry get this emotional over an ally of his since the 1970’s – North Vietnam. In hindsight, let’s be honest: It would have been more apropos to invite Judy Collins to sing “Send in the Clowns.” Inarguably, our country has been reduced to caricatures as clowns, and the terrorists are shaking in their boots when they hear the name Barack Obama.

Movie Man

Azle News Wednesday, January 21, 2015

Eastwood hits bull’s-eye with American Sniper This is one of those movies. Sometimes films are highly anticipated. Or advertised to the max. Or both. Like: Gone with the Wind (1939). Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). Passion of the Christ (2004, Movie Man No. 549, an 8). And a slew of sequels starring Batman, Han Solo, Matrixians, glittery vampires, teenage revolutionaries in dystopian worlds, and Hobbits. Now comes another wellhyped movie that fans have been waiting for, American Sniper. It delivers – to its conservative base and as a very well-made motion picture. About the film The story of Chris Kyle, the most successful sniper in U.S. military history, is well-known locally. His book was huge nationally and Kyle’s shocking murder and the outpouring of patriotic compassion that packed thousands into AT&T Stadium for a memorial service made him a legend. When it was announced that the movie version of the book would be directed by noted conservative Clint Eastwood, anticipation really began to build. A powerful, tense preview amped up audiences. Other exceptional coming attractions followed. Then the heavy ad campaign continued with American Sniper’s early platform rollout – opening in a low number of theaters then steadily expanding weekly – raised the movie’s profile even more. Finally, the awards season arrived with star Bradley Cooper especially gaining attention. When the Oscar nominations came out, the film was poised for a record breaking performance. And that’s what’s happened. American Sniper broke every January record it could in its initial opening. The plot Raised by a hard-nosed father, Kyle (Cooper) joins the military

after seeing televised terrorist attacks that killed Americans overseas. He enlists in the Navy and becomes a SEAL. Noted for his firearm skills, Kyle becomes a sniper and soon is deployed, leaving wife Taya (Sierra Miller) behind. Overseas, Kyle is a killing machine; perched on rooftops, he picks off threats below – terrorists, who are sometimes women and children – whose deadly efforts could kill his fellow soldiers. After his first tour, Kyle becomes sullen back home. So he returns overseas, becoming a legend at what he does. Meanwhile, Taya is getting more distressed – frantic while he’s away and bummed with Kyle’s disengaged separation when back home. He returns for three more tours while a family builds back in the states. In his final trip, he and his compadres find themselves atop a building surrounded by hordes of terrorists. That’s when Kyle spies, over a mile away, the enemy’s most deadly sniper. If Kyle takes the “impossible” shot, it will expose him and his cohorts to the scores of enemy all around them. But it might be his only chance to take down Iraq’s “Butcher” (Mido Hamada).

American Sniper No. 1 with a bullet Starring: Bradley Cooper, Sierra Miller, Keir O’Donnell Directed by: Clint Eastwood Rated R: Violence, explicit gore, language, war email: movieman@azlenews.net

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man What works Cooper is great here. It’s the sort of non-showy role that lacks histrionics but is no less powerful. Director Eastwood – ripped off from a Best Director Oscar nod – often frames Cooper in close-ups; the actor’s blank face and haunted, weary eyes say everything. Several scenes are quite tense. The coming attraction sequence – where he must decide whether to shoot a boy carrying an ordnance – comes early and its resolution is shocking. There’s also a scene where Kyle must choose whether to take out the Butcher while a gigantic sand storm bears down. But even that’s not the tensest (see Best scene).

The movie looks fantastic, all muted and dirty. It flies along and has an ending that is heart-wrenching with its reallife footage of the public’s outpouring of emotion following Kyle’s death.

Kyle lets down his guard as the man offers the soldiers a meal. But Kyle still suspects the host and eventually his fears are recognized. So they send the local man into the business across the street to gain access for the troops. That sets off a bloodbath. The tension at the dinner table is palpable. It’s maybe the top scene in a movie loaded with taut sequences.

And you can’t have a realistic sniper movie without explicit violence and gore.

Summing up Doves will complain that American Sniper is another jingoistic hawk movie glorifying war and murder. It’s anything but that. It feels real and leaves viewers with a sense of what war might actually be like. Everyone needs to know about that. And plenty got it – judging from the audience’s dead siWhat doesn’t work The stateside scenes get repeti- lence after the movie was over. tive.

There are a few too many scenes of Cooper staring blankly at the TV, disregarding his wife and kids.

Gentlemen, start your engines... BY NATALIE GENTRY Azle resident John Burgoyne has a passion for power – the power found in turn-of-the century engines, that is. His interest in the forerunners to our modern motors began at an early age. Burgoyne has always been interested in restoring antique motor cycles, and at the age of 16, he began a five-year apprenticeship at Bristol City Engines in England. He went on to become a mechanical engineer and he said the interest in early engines was a natural extension. “I got heavily into this about 30 years ago,” he said. Today, Burgoyne is the president of branch 43 of the Early Day Gas Engine & Tractor Association (EDGE & TA), a national club. “We have about 75 local members of the Granbury Fly-

wheelers,” Burgoyne said. “We want to spark an interest in collecting, restoring, and preserving gasoline and oil engines and other equipment of historical value.” Burgoyne moved to Azle about eight years ago after living and working as a mechanical engineer and fabricator in Fort Worth for 49 years first at Bell Helicopter and then in his own machining shop. He bought the land the museum sits on four years ago. “I thought it would make an ideal museum for my engines.” “Horsepower” At the turn of the century there were no electric motors to run any of the equipment that we often take for granted today. In fact many rural areas didn’t have electricity until the 1940s. When small engines became

available many people purchased them to run everything from threshers to sewing machines to cotton gins. “You can drive around Texas today and there are still a lot of old abandoned cotton gins and inside there is usually an engine similar to these,” Burgoyne said. The engines at the museum represent the earliest of engines; they are forerunners to what we have in our cars today. The oldest engine in the museum – a Westman gasoline engine – is estimated to be from about 1899 or 1900 and it is the only one of its kind known to exist. “It was found in the Westman family lake house pumping water,” Burgoyne said. There are approximately 50 four-cycle engines in the museum ranging from 1899 to about 1950 including early John

Azle early engine museum a wealth of information

Deere engines and a forerunner to the Massey Ferguson. There are a few two-cycle engines in the collection as well. In addition Burgoyne builds quarter scale working engines. “The models are easier to carry around, that’s for sure,” Burgoyne said with a smile. “One Piece at a Time” Many of the engines in the collection still have their original paint and many original parts. A couple of lucky finds are surprisingly well preserved. However, Burgoyne does own several engines that were missing many pieces and required what he calls “mechanical forensic” to rebuild. For instance, when Burgoyne began reconstructing his 1905 Sharples engine, he only had a single sketch and an approximately 300 word description to work from. “You’ve got to say ‘what would have been appropriate for this time frame and what material would they have used,” he said. “Then you reconstruct the engine as best you can with information that is available.” This process includes fabricating the missing pieces because they aren’t available for purchase. “I actually had to rebuild a 1989 machine just to cut the keyways and flywheel on the Sharples,” Burgoyne said. “I spent two months rebuilding the machine and it took 15 minutes to make the parts.”

“Fuel” Burgoyne noted he hopes the museum will fuel an interest in the old engines. “There are not many young people in the area involved in the EDGE & TA, or reconstructing the early engines” he said. “I want to let people know about the museum and I hope that we can get John Burgoyne, of Azle oils a 1907 Foos engine at his small engine museum in Azle. young people interested in the hobby. “If someone just leaving school can This type of engine – sitting on its original cart – would have been used to run early farm equipment such as threshers or hay baler.

Another engine at the museum with an interesting story is this 1920 Petter Junior which was used to power homes in rural England as late as the 1940s. Photo by Natalie Gentry get their teeth into something like this and really build a good understanding I think it makes them a better mechanic,” Burgoyne continued He said he felt that having the basic knowledge of the inner workings of engines will lessen new mechanics’ reliance on computers. “We had a Boy Scout troop come through the museum and they seemed to really like it,” Burgoyne said. “I believe they are going to schedule another tour.” Burgoyne said he looks forward to visitors coming to the museum because it gives him an excuse to fire up some of the engines. His passion for the engines is evident and his wealth of knowledge about the history of his engines specifically and early engines in general is a resource just waiting to be tapped. Visits must be scheduled – to do that, call Burgoyne at 817-401-0320.
