Wreck after chase deadly

Fire On Eagles Way

Local man crashes in Wise County BY NATALIE GENTRY Jerry Easterwood, 35, of Springtown died in a one-car accident after running his vehicle off Farm Road 718 near Newark in Wise County at approximately 8:49 p.m. Friday, Jan. 16. According to Trooper Jackson Bridgeman of the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), he was southbound on FM 718 when he was passed by a 1994 Pontiac Firebird – driven by Easterwood – speeding in the northbound lane. Bridgeman said he turned on his emergency lights and turned around to pursue Easterwood. During the chase Bridgeman said he clocked Easterwood at almost 140 miles per hour before losing sight of Easterwood and canceling the pursuit. “He was so far ahead of me I never saw him come off the road,” Bridgeman said. At approximately the same time Bridgeman, Wise County Sheriff's deputies and medics, Newark firefighters and Boyd police were dispatched to a possible vehicle accident. A resident called 911 reporting a loud bang that sounded like a car crash. First responders arrived on the scene to find the Firebird in a field on its roof. According to DPS spokesman Lonny Haschel, the car had skidded off the road, crashed through a gate, and rolled several times through a vacant field before coming to a rest on its top. Easterwood was inside the vehicle but was already dead when help arrived. Haschel said Easterwood was not wearing a seatbelt. The investigation remains open awaiting autopsy results.

Nocturnal blaze consumes home Cause: Accidental BY NATALIE GENTRY Firefighters from area departments were dispatched to a residential structure fire in the 300 block of Eagles Way in Springtown on the night of Jan. 15. According to Parker County Emergency Services District 1 investigator Eric Vinson, an accidental fire began in the rear of the home and units were dispatched at approximately 10:12 p.m. Personnel from Springtown, La Junta, Central, Poolville, Salt Creek, and Cottondale Volunteer Fire Departments fought the blaze for well over two hours. No injuries were reported; however the home was deemed a complete loss.

PC Special Crimes Unit shuts down organized drug ring 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 Pelican Bay. A W-PC SCU spokesman said an earlier narcotics investigation turned up information that led to the discovery of the organization. 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. In fact, Parker County Crimestoppers will pay up to a $1,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and indictment of either of the two suspects.

Two suspects remain at large and the Weatherford-Parker County Special Crimes Unit is asking for the public’s help finding Timothy Ray Cole (left) and Little Earl Wallis. To date, the following individuals have been arrested and charged: • Brian Reece Ludwick, 47, of Sansom Park (he also lists an address in Azle) was arrested by W-PC SCU officers Nov. 18 for a warrant for engaging in organized crime. Ludwick was also the subject of Tarrant County warrants for delivery of a controlled subject and theft $20,000-100,000. He remains in the Parker County jail in lieu of a total of $55,000 bond. • Temkai Lee O’Bryant, 32, lists a

Weatherford address, but investigators believe he actually lives in Pelican Bay. He was arrested Nov. 12 by Parker County Sheriff’s deputies for an SCU warrant for engaging in organized crime. O’Bryant was off bond at the time of that arrest for an identical charge as well as a charge of theft $20,000-100,000, both out of Palo Pinto Sheriff’s Office. He also faces Tarrant County charges of PLEASE SEE CLOSED, PAGE 2A.

O’Bryant remains in the Parker County jail in lieu of $30,000 bond. • Lawrence Allen Deeb, 32, of Weatherford, was arrested by Parker County Sheriff’s deputies Oct. 30 for SCU warrants for engaging in organized crime and for manufacturing or delivering a controlled substance (meth) 200-400 grams. Deeb, who is on parole, is held in the Parker County jail in lieu of $30,000 bond for each charge for a total of $60,000. However, he is held without bond by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, presumably due to violation of his parole conditions. • Richard Dale Horton, 59, of Pelican Bay, was arrested Oct. 20 by Pelican Bay police and charged with unlawful possession of a firearm and possession of a controlled substance, less than one gram. While in the Tarrant County jail on those charges, Horton was charged with engaging in organized crime by W-PC SCU. He is currently free on bond. • Ellen Jean Langley, 35, of Springtown, was arrested Oct. 24, 2014 by Parker County Sheriff’s deputies and charged with possession of a controlled substance, one to four grams. At the time of that arrest, she was also the subject of an SCU warrant for engaging in organized crime as well as a Westworth Village warrant for failure to identify.

“

We believe O’Bryant moved so much dope...it created a significant decrease in the price of meth...

Special Crimes Unit shuts down organized drug ring moved the product into the Azle, Pelican Bay, and Parker County areas. Horton, who is also known as “Lawnmower Rick,” lives on Quail Run in Pelican Bay. Investigators suspect a lot of stolen property was taken in and out of his residence and traded for meth, marijuana and prescription pills, the spokesperson said. During the investigation, O’Bryant and another individual were arrested at a Durant, Oklahoma motel when they were found in possession of drugs, the spokesperson said. Deeb was with O’Bryant and the other person at the time but managed to avoid arrest. That incident made it clear to SCU investigators that the organization reached not only the North Texas area, but into Oklahoma, as well. Information that has yet to be corroborated says the organization also distributes meth into both Louisiana and Arkansas, according to the spokesperson. “We believe O’Bryant moved so much dope in northern Tarrant and Parker Counties that it created a significant decrease in the price of meth on the street, making it easier to obtain,” the spokesperson said. “Since these arrests, the prices have normalized.” Unfortunately, drugs are a commodity of sorts – subject to the same laws of supply and demand as just about any other product. Also unfortunate is the slow speed at which the wheels of justice sometimes turn, as evidenced by O’Bryant’s history.

According to reports in the Mineral Wells Index, O’Bryant was indicted in December 2013 for theft $20,000-100,000 following a crime spree in the Possum Kingdom Lake area. According to a story in the Index, O’Bryant “was also involved in the large-scale, regional drug bust in October (2013) that resulted in the arrests of 19 individuals after an eight-month investigation into a methamphetamine operation stretching from Dallas to Palo Pinto County.” O’Bryant is under indictment but is still awaiting trial for those Palo Pinto County charges. Horton was charged with both possession of a controlled substance, less than one gram, and possession of a prohibited weapon after Pelican Bay police confiscated a small amount of meth and about 30 guns at his residence on Oct. 20. The gun charge has since been dropped, but Horton awaits trial for the drug charge. The other five individuals – Luttrell, Wallis, Cole, Langley, and Griggs – appear to have played less significant roles in the mass distribution of meth in the area.

Help from white hats The W-PC SCU spokesperson was quick to credit numerous other law enforcement agencies for assisting in the widespread investigation. “We might not be this far if not for the help of other agencies – the information they provided was valuable and there was a lot of really good work done by several patrol officers,” the spokesperson said. At the top of that list are the Parker County Sheriff’s Office and the Azle Police Department, he said. “Some of the suspects just fell into it – we didn’t even know they were involved,” the spokesperson said. “But because of the work of some Parker County patrol deputies and an Azle officer, we were able to tie them into the organization.” Additionally, the Wise County Sheriff’s Office, Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office, Sansom Park Police Department, Palo Pinto County Sheriff’s Office, Durant Police Department, and Pelican Bay Police Department are to be commended for the roles they each played in the investigation, the spokesperson said.

A novel idea: SMS book club encourages love of literature By Natalie Gentry Springtown Middle School teachers Sabra Hall, Armenda Elkins, Lori Copeland, and Joyce Jones have organized the first-ever middle school book club dubbed “A Novel Bunch.” The group meets every Thursday morning to talk about the books they’re reading, the books they want to read, and literature in general. “The students really seem to enjoy sharing their passion of reading with teachers as well as their peers,” said Elkins. “They are always ready and willing to give great suggestions on titles to add to the middle school li-

brary.” The Bunch will be traveling to Keller Saturday, Jan. 24, for the fourth annual Keller Young Adult Book Festival – better known as YAK Fest. This event celebrates teens and the literature they love to read. It also offers them the opportunity to connect with awardwinning young adult authors such as slam poet Colin Gilbert and Choctaw storyteller Tim Tingle. Other authors scheduled to attend are Barry Lyga, the keynote speaker, as well as Matt De la Pena, Charles Benoit, Rachel Caine, Janie Chodosh,

Lindsay Cummings, and Beth Fehlbaum. Also: T. M. Goeglein, Kay Honeyman, Antony John, Christine Kohler, Jeramey Kraatz, Kelsey Macke, Michelle Madow, and Julie Murphy. In addition to meeting the authors, the students will have the opportunity to attend moderated panel sessions with groups of authors and have them autograph a book. “This is an amazing opportunity for our students to not only meet young adult authors, but other young people their age that love to read,” Elkins said.

White, Scott earn Optimist honors by mark k. campbell Springtown High School juniors Kayla White and Michael Scott were named the January Tex-Anne and Texan of the Month by the Springtown Optimist Club Jan. 20. White, 16 and the daughter of Jim and Stephanie White, is ranked No. 5 in the Class of 2016. That’s up from No. 8 after the end of her freshman year. She has been honored as an outstanding student in Pre-Advanced Placement Chemistry and English 1. At the end of the last school year, White was inducted into the National Honor Society. She was nominated as the junior representative for the group. Throughout her school career at SHS, White has always made straight A’s. She is the Student Council Parliamentarian for the junior class and has been a council representative all three years in high school. White is also a member of PAL – Peer Assistance & Leadership – and the Spanish Club. She served two years as a junior varsity cheerleader and this year is on the varsity. She is the starting pitcher for the Lady Porcupine softball

team and was an Academic All-District pick in 2013-14. For community service, White assists at local events like festivals and parades as well as a nearby nature center. After graduating SHS, White says she plans on attending UTA and becoming a nurse. Scott, 16 and the son of Tim and Jenny Scott, is No. 25 out of 215 potential 2016 graduates. He played multiple sports early at SHS but has decided to focus more on academics and will now only represent Springtown on the tennis court – where he was on the varsity last season. Scott is a member of the school’s TAFE program – Texas Association of Future Educators. Away from SHS, he has helped rebuild and clean houses and has served and prepared food at the Salvation Army during holidays Scott said it’s vital to “find the right friends” while at school “to keep you in check.” He also said he hopes he will be remembered as someone who “finds good things out of negatives.” White plans to attend Vanderbilt University in Nashville, Tennessee to eventually become an anesthesiologist.

By Natalie Gentry The Springtown Extension Education Club is hosting its annual Heart of the Home night on Feb. 9. This year’s event will be at the Springtown Senior Citizens Center from 6 to 9 p. m. A meal of beans and cornbread, and dozens of desserts will be served at 6:30. Door prizes will be awarded and there will also be a raffle. This year’s workshops are titled Memory Pins, Water Color 101, Matter of Balance, and Sweet Fantasies. In addition, there will be board games for the men. Tickets are $10 per person and can be purchased from club members and at the door. Last year’s Heart of the Home night generated enough money to donate funds to organizations such as the Springtown Library, the Legends Museum, Neighbor to Neighbors, the Tabernacle, and the Springtown Senior Citizens Center. In addition, they provided 4-H scholarships as well.

Wrestlers battle a slew of foes as district looms by mark k. campbell The wrestling district tournament arrives soon enough – Feb. 7 – so Porcupines have been hitting the mats. Quite successfully. Before one final scheduled trip to Richardson Berkner Jan. 28 gets here, Springtown athletes ventured to several other venues to get sharp for the 5-5A tourney set for Saginaw Chisholm Trail. On Jan. 13, SHS hosted Haltom and tied 42-42. Coach Tye Adams noted, “We had four holes in our lineup that gave Haltom 24 points.” Winning Porcupines included Kyle Shelton (106 pound class), Aiden Baxley (132), Caice Clark (138), Mark Matkovich (145), Sam Lund (182), Hunter Robinson (195), and Charlie Emmert (220). Coach Adams said, “We were very proud of our effort, and we feel like we out-wrestled them.”

Undermanned Fort Worth Western Hills got clobbered by the Porcupines, 54-6. Earlier at the district duals at Chisholm Trail, Springtown went 1-2. In SHS’ first dual – against Boswell – having holes in the Porcupines’ rotation hurt. The Pioneers won, 42-30. “We were very disappointed afterwards, and it showed as we wrestled much better in our latter matches,” the coach recalled. Springtown defeated Birdville 51-22. Winning were Desmond Cummings (126), Baxley, Clark, Matkovich, Montana Hancock (160), Robinson, Emmert, and Jesse Springfield (285). Then the hosts beat the Porcupines 54-30. Victors for SHS included Preston Schneider (132), Clark,, Lund, Emmert, and Springfield.

SHS winners were Mason Phillips, Springfield, Clark, Dylan Finley, Lund, and Baxley.

Irving MacArthur edged Springtown 37-33. Schneider, Baxley, Lund, Robinson, Phillips, and Springfield were all victors. That was followed by a 54-0 bashing of FW Wyatt. Claiming wins: Springfield, Schneider, Baxley, Clark, Harthcock, Lund, Robinson,

Lady lifters earn medals in meet 4 SHS girls golden After a memorable 2014 that sent the Lady Porcupine powerlifting team to state at Corpus Christi where SHS finished fourth, Coach Missy Castro has another group of athletes pumping iron. In an outing at Chico, Springtown won the event. The coach said, “Almost everyone earned an individual medal.” Four Lady Porcupines won their weight classes: Alli Roglin, Martha Chavez, Tabitha Rogers, and Sydney Counts. Jenny Lopez took second as did Kati Roglin. Also placing were Rian Kinney (fourth), Taylor Ervin (sixth), and Molly Gideon (seventh). A. Roglin squatted 185 pounds, benched 95, and dead-

Soccer boys beat visitors In the Springtown High School boys first official soccer match of 2015 under new coach Trent Davis, the Porcupines won at home, 2-0. SHS (1-0) defeated Keene Smith on a sunny Porcupine Stadium pitch Jan. 17. Ricky Reynoso scored the opening goal, off an assist by Eric Avalos. Alan Tarango later booted in a goal unassisted. The Lady Porcupines were off and are 0-1 for the young year. The soccer schedule is quite queer. With only four teams in District 3-4A – Burkburnett, Wichita Falls Hirschi, and Decatur – the schedule goes the unusual route of each team playing one another three times officially. So, the boys and will host Decatur and Hirschi twice but have to make the trek to Burk a couple of times. In one three-game stretch, SHS teams will hit the road to Hirschi, Decatur, then Burk back-to-back-to-back. On the plus side, the final two matches are at home.

lifted 235 for a golden total of 515 pounds. Chavez and Rogers – both veterans from last year’s state team – moved 330 pounds squatting. Their final tally of 780 each included a 145 bench and 305 deadlift for Chavez and a 140 bench and 310 deadlift for Rogers. Counts won her division with a total of 720 pounds. To get back to state, Coach Castro has lined up meets at Perrin, Venus, and Stephenville before the regional gathering at Wylie Feb. 28. This year, the state meet is March 20-21, again in Corpus Christi. The boys also have a powerlifting team. Meets remain at home Jan. 29 and at Saginaw Kruz Dominguez scored 12 points in Springtown’s district opening win over Lake Worth. Photo by Mark K. Campbell Feb. 12.

Porcupines topple Bullfrogs in 8-4A opener Springtown got off to a positive start in district play with a 65-49 victory over visiting Lake Worth. The game was close at halftime; the Porcupines’ 15-10 first quarter lead had dwindled to 29-27 after two periods. But SHS out-scored the Bullfrogs 36-22 in the second half and claimed an 8-4A win. Four Springtown athletes reached double digits in scoring led by center Dawson Meek’s 16. He hit 8-of-12 shots. The junior made it a doubledouble against the Frogs thanks to a whopping 20 rebounds. Scoring 12 points each were Kruz Dominguez and Jared Green. The former hit a pair of three-pointers while Green nailed six field goals.

Paschall, Texas, Part 2: Town gets marker

outhwestern Wise County was the last area of Wise County to be settled, being some twenty miles from the county seat at Decatur. It still lacked any social organization in 1890. One basic need was for a school. Robert and Molly now had six children. Robert and his neighbors – a community of farm families – built a one-room school on bordering land, which was to serve all the community. It was supported by donations only and teachers were boarded in the Paschall home. It was called the Gravel Hill School. Robert also helped organize the Gravel Hill Sabbath School and taught Sunday School there. An Alphabetical Register of Officers, Teachers and Scholars of 1899 lists 137 individuals who were in attendance. In a frontier county having few institutions to create a community, the Farmers Alliance came to play an important role. It gave the men a common cause for assembling. A sub-alliance was organized in the community and in 1893 Robert became secretary of the Wise County Farmers Alliance, consisting of some twenty sub-alliances. With the growth and organization

of the community came the need for a post office. There was no rural delivery and it was necessary to travel six miles to the nearest post office to pick up mail. The community petitioned for a post office and May 13,1902 the Paschall, Texas post office was established in the home of Robert and Molly. One end of a porch was enclosed to hold the boxes and about thirty families from a three-mile radius picked up their mail here. It served the community until rural delivery began in 1904 and the post office was moved to Poolville. Paschall appeared on Texas maps as late as 1913. Robert was also instrumental in providing telephone service to the area when he helped organize the PaschallCottondale Telephone Exchange in 1905. Stock was sold at $2 per customer and 35 families were served. This exchange was also housed in the Paschall home and served the area until 1910. Robert and Molly lived on the land until their deaths. Robert died in 1917 and Molly in 1940, both at home. They had reared 11 children. The Paschall family has lived in the area for six generations. The Paschall land has been owned and occupied

by the family continuously since it was purchased in 1890. It is now owned and is the home of Lt. Col. Jim B. Paschall, USAF Ret. Also residing on the land are his son, David Lewis Paschall, grandson, Riley Alexander

Paschall. Jim's daughter, Terry Paschall Holland, lives on the actual site of Paschall, Texas in the fourth house to be built there. Five generations of Paschalls have called the former Paschall, Texas home. The farm is located at CR 3671, CR 3672 in Bridgeport. We were excited to go to the dedication. The marker was 18” x 28”. Jim Wright was the Keynote speaker. He and I really enjoyed talking to each other. He later sent me a book about his childhood in Weatherford. A Paschall grandson also spoke

about his memories of visiting the farm. He said that a highlight was when the “peddler wagon” came. He said that it smelled like a mixture of Wrigley’s gum and wet chickens, which swung in cages under the wagon. He probably didn’t know that the “peddler” – Almond Nash – the father of Ira and Julia’s grandmother, Janna, and thus one of Julia’s paternal great grandfathers. After their performance, the confederate reenactment group invited the crowd to accompany them to the Bethel Cemetery at Boonsville where they were honoring two confederate veterans graves. The two soldiers were James A. Paschall, Robert’s father who fought with the Tennessee Cavalry and Daniel C. Huddleston, Julia’s other paternal great grandfather, who fought with the Texas Cavalry. It was a very moving ceremony. The seven-gun salute in the silence rocked my very soul. It seemed to vibrate through my whole body. I definitely felt a connection with the Huddleston family, and I wanted to learn more about them. Laurie Moseley is an author, archeologist and historian who lives in Springtown.

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.

Perry gives his parting speech as governor as legislative session begins at state Capitol

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 Representa-

The 94-page document shows the state is projected to have some $113 billion in revenue available for general-purpose spending during the 20162017 biennium. State revenue from all sources is estimated at $221 billion for the next biennium, a total that includes $110 billion in federal receipts and other income. State government begins with a projected $7.5 billion ending balance from the current biennium and that amount is added to the estimated $110 billion in projected general revenuerelated collections from taxes, fees and other income over the course of the 2016-17 biennium. 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 signifi-

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.”

Movie Man

Thursday, January 22, 2015 Springtown Epigraph

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.

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.
