199 Rollover

Azle area folks, kids, even an Elvis interpreter implore Texas Railroad Commission to shut injection wells down

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN An estimated 100 people left Azle at 5 a.m. Tuesday, Jan. 21 – some in a chartered bus and others in a ninevehicle caravan that followed.

Their objective: convince the Texas Railroad Commission (TRC) to shut down about 13 saltwater disposal wells in the Azle area believed by many residents to be the cause of 30plus earthquakes that have occurred since Nov. 1, 2013.

They used just about every tool available to them – from prescription medications to 11 and 12-year-old children to a live adaptation of Elvis Presley’s hit “All Shook Up” – to accomplish that objective.

About 30 people actually spoke – or sang “we’re in Azle...we’re all shook up” accompanied by guitar – and the commissioners lent their ear.

While each individual had their own story, they almost all requested the commission shut down disposal wells in the area immediately and then continue with studies to determine the cause of the earthquakes.

Most of their points and arguments have already been heard at two Town Hall meetings held earlier this month.

But TRC staff did present some interesting information following the public commentary portion of the meeting.

According to Milton Rister, executive director for the Commission, all disposal wells within a 15-mile radius of the epicenter area have been inspected.

Of the 13 wells within that radius, two are private injection wells that only dispose of wastewater generated by their own drilling operations.

Ironically, those two wells are located closest to the epicenter area identifi ed by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and Southern Methodist University (SMU) researchers.

Also somewhat ironically, both of those wells have recorded relatively low volumes since prior to the earthquakes’ onset.

The other 11 disposal wells, according to TRC staffers, are commercial disposal wells that accept fl uids from outside sources.

Of those 11, one disposal well recorded pressure on its production stream when inspections took place, so it was sent a violation letter, according to Ramon Hernandez of the Commission’s Oil and Gas Division.

When inspectors returned Jan. 2 and Jan. 6, the disposal well in question was shut in and being worked on, Hernandez said.

That well must pass all required Commission tests before it can resume

Good Samaritans gather important items, including a pet, after they stopped to help victims of a rollover accident in the 700 block of SH 199 West near Westline Road. According to the accident report, Robert Aaron Bauman, 24, of Springtown was at the wheel of a red 2005 Honda Accord traveling westbound in about the 900 block of SH 199 West when he may have fallen asleep.

The Honda left the roadway and traveled about 300 feet – the length of a football fi eld – before crossing the Westline crossover and rolling one-and-a-half times and coming to rest on its side in the grassy median. Bauman’s passenger, Briana April Snow, 22, was taken by Azle ambulance to Texas Health Azle with non-lifethreatening injuries. One dog in the car was recovered immediately by passersby; another fl ed in fear but Bauman and another passerby were able to locate it, unharmed, in the creek south of the highway.

Reno council accepts disannexation petition

BY NATALIE GENTRY Reno resident Art Johnson presented multiple petitions to the Reno City Council regarding items to be voted on by the council or placed on the ballots for the May election.

The fi rst petition Johnson presented requested that the city discontinue the agreement with Tarrant County that allows them to collect taxes.

Instead, Johnson said that and the taxes should be collected by the county in which the city resides.

Johnson stated that 141 people signed this petition.

The next petition that was presented requested that a tax rate freeze be put

in place for citizens over 65 and who are disabled.

Again, 141 residents signed this petition.

The third petition Johnson presented requested an increase in the homestead exemption for residents over 65 and who are disabled.

The current exemption extends to the fi rst 10 percent of the residents’ property value.

Johnson’s proposal would raise that percentage to 30 percent.

One hundred forty-three people signed this petition.

The petitions were accepted by to comply with the State Constitution, the State of Texas Local Government Mayor Lynda Stokes who indicated

The official response Response to the petitions was as passionate as they were varied.

Mayor Stokes used a white board so that she could breakdown the budget as compared to the one included in the petition.

Her concern was that the total city budget presented to the petitioners may have been misleading because it includes speculated amounts.

‘The Stand’ production in works for AHS drumline day, Jan. 30, in the main gymnasium at AHS. Admission of $5 per adult and $3 per student will help offset drumline expenses, which can be enormous.

Percussion director Richard Kearns shares the excitement of his students.

“This year’s show is set in the year 2214, and America has fallen into the hands of a dictator with a thirst for world power,” Kearns explains.

“Americans are now his soldiers, but a determined few begin a revolution.”

The show starts out very darkly – almost post-nuclear war-like – and the costumes are futuristic, militaristic uniforms with capes, Kearns said.

“The opening music sounds very Russian, almost Communistic, but there’s also one section that features ‘My Country ‘Tis of Thee’ in a minor key,” Kearns said. “But as the revoBattery members in the Azle High School Indoor Drumline rehearse their competition show, “The lution begins and Americans take a Stand,” in the band hall.

the show, they are all working hard to make sure nothing in the show is offensive.

“This country is not about any one person or one person’s ideas, but about the people in it and what we’ve always stood for,” Kearns said. “The people make America what it is, and that’s the message we want to convey.”

The goal of the performers, Kearns said, is to move people to such a point that by the end of the show, the audience can’t help but “stand” up in honor of the American spirit.

Performers speak up Jen Miller, an AHS senior, is Co-Pit Captain for the drumline along with Austin Palmer, and says this year’s show is her favorite so far. That’s largely because of the music as well as a concept that’s easy to grasp, she says.

“I love that we’re making our own props and uniforms this year, so no one will have anything like it,” Miller said. “It’s a very WGI-oriented show even though we’re not taking it to taking it to Dayton this year. We’ll go to fi ve different competitions, and one of those is a WGI regional.”

Rister also told the Commission about recent rewrites to Rule 13 which he called the most significant rewrite in 30 years, and since the inception of horizontal drilling.

“If they’re not complying with our rules, we’re revoking their right to do business in Texas, and they take that very seriously,” Rister said. “It’s one thing to revoke their permit, but when we tell them they can no longer do business in Texas, it’s very serious.”

freeze and the tax exemption Stokes reiterated her statement from last summer.

“In this concern, the council finds itself in the unique position,” Stokes explained, “insomuch as if a freeze would go into effect, almost every member of this council would benefit directly from it.”

Stokes said she feels a vote would be the most ethical way to handle the debate.

“I encouraged Mr. Johnson, and anybody else who would, to gather the petitions so that this council would not be voting themselves a tax freeze.”

The pit for the AHS indoor Drumline works hard to Citizens speak out provide the melody and mood for the show.

Near the end of the three hour meeting citizens of Reno were given time to address the assembly to voice their concerns about the petitions, and any other issues they may have.

Voice was given to both sides of the debate, but when Councilman Eric Hunter addressed the crowd as a citizen of the city he posed a few questions to Johnson.

“While I applaud the efforts to take action and I’ll support your efforts for tax relief and disannexation, I see no reason why you should get to decide that my piece of property should be included in the petition to disannex,” Hunter said.

“Sure, I get to vote ‘yes or

no,’ but why do you get to decide that everyone else gets to vote ‘yes or no; does Mr. Hunter get to be a part of the city anymore?”

Hunter indicated that while he believes every citizen has a right to petition and vote, it wasn’t right that he was never consulted about the inclusion of his land in the petition.

The debate ended as the council moved into executive decision.

AHS drumline working on production of “The Stand” n ASH, FROM PAGE ONE.

“The Stand” can mean different things to different people, Miller said of the show’s theme.

“What we’re going for is overcoming adversity, and it’s easy to catch onto,” she explained. “My grandfather was in the Air Force, so the fact that it’s a military-related show means a lot to me.”

Miller also talked about the important role the “pit” plays in every drumline performance.

“The pit provides the entire melody for the show, and you can’t go anywhere without a melody,” she said. “Yes, the battery might do the marching, but the performance by the pit can take the concept way, way

higher. Any drumline can have really talented people, but the way pit members get into it and move is what makes it fun and enjoyable to watch.”

Miller, who is a percussionist during concert season, plays marimba in the drumline pit.

Megan Hughes is a bass drummer in the drumline and she says “The Stand” is the most original show the group has performed in her three years with the group.

“It’s easy to get into performing this show,” Hughes said.

“There’s a great work ethic this year – it’s the closest-knit we’ve been and there’s such a good connection between all the sections.”

Hughes agrees with Miller:

“Seeing other drumlines perform to their fullest and have a lot of confidence in what they’re doing was really inspiring.”

Ladies split district games, still in postseason position

By MARK K. CAMPBELL With another 5-4A victory, the Lady Hornet basketball team is on pace to reach the playoffs.

Azle (18-8, 6-3) has a three game lead for the final postseason berth with five games left.

While AHS still must face two teams above them in the district standings, three other contests are against squads with a 5-22 record in 5-4A. On Jan. 14, Byron Nelson, second in district, came to Azle and left with a 37-28 win. AHS trailed early and didn’t recover.

Valarie Matlock paced the Lady Hornets with 10 points.

Kaycie Dunkerley scored 7 and Morgan Prentice netted 5 points.

At Lake Dallas Jan. 17, Azle had to rally again. And did.

Behind 22-18 at the half, the Lady Hornets stormed past the Lady Falcons, out-scoring the Lady Hornet Maci Wilbanks (21) defends. Azle is cur - hosts 28-20 en route to a 46-42 rently fourth in District 5-4A. Photo by Mark K. Campbell victory.

Record 8-1 7-2 7-2 6-3 3-6 3-6 2-7 0-9

Matlock and Prentice led the way in scoring, getting 13 and 12 points, respectively.

In a game where each point was crucial, Dunkerley scored 8, Payton Berger 7, Maci Wilbanks 3, Taylor Fulfer 2, and Makenzi Bossert 1 point.

The win gave Azle a sweep of Lake Dallas.

AHS played at Denton Guyer Jan. 21 (results not available at press time). Wichita Falls (1/24), at Brewer (1/28) and Rider (1/31) and vs. Denton Kaycie Dunkerley works the ball during a victory. AHS is in a 4-of-5 road game stretch.

Girls, boys squads strong in soccer tourneys Like the first tournament of the season, the Azle High School soccer teams turned in exceptional efforts in a second.

The girls played at Brewer and the boys in Brenham.

The Lady Hornets shone, coach Trent Davis said, considering the “complicated tourney set up.”

Azle (5-1-1) went 2-1 in White Settlement and were “the second best team there,” Davis insisted. “All four teams in our pool were the best teams at the tourney.”

Still, the Lady Hornets collected two wins, over L.D. Bell 2-0 and Richland 1-0.

The first loss of the season came to Denton Guyer 3-0.

In Brenham, the Hornets rallied from a 2-0 deficit to beat Magnolia West 4-3 – a team that went three rounds deep in the postseason last year, coach Ben Buentello said.

Azle also defeated 5A Katy Taylor 4-1.

Dylan Tritton scored six goals in two games.

Also scoring in the tourney were Javier Mejia and Alex Quevedo.

District play starts Friday, Jan. 28 when Aledo comes to the AHS pitches with 5:30 and 7:30 p.m. matches.

Wrestlers shine as district nears Azle competes in Vernon tournament With two more competitions under their belts, the Azle High School wrestling teams are primed for the 5-4A tournament.

Azle hosted a gathering Jan. 15 with district rivals Argyle and Byron Nelson visiting.

AHS coach Chris Allen said Nelson is likely the district favorite with many returning starters. However, while Azle lost 40-25, late match defeats let the contest get away, he said.

“While it was Senior Night, it was a freshman who stole the show,” Allen said of James Conrique.

Scott, This is a sincere letter from your Meemaw & Peepaw. To us and all of your family you have always done the best we could ever expect from you. Starting at an early age, you had what, the doctors said, was a very, very bad case with your ears, which in time did harm your speech.

Doctors were amazed you never complained, the only thing they could figure out was you thought it was supposed to be that way.

Scott, you have been in sports since you played baseball in Perrin, Texas at age 3 or 4.

From there you moved to Azle, Texas and joined AYA football and baseball, as a matter of fact you helped win the Superbowl game for AYA, playing for the Cowboys. You never ever complained again, shrugging it off as bumps and bruises. I noticed the way you were running, so I talked your parents into letting me take you to my chiropractor. Discovering your hip was a little out of whack. So Mom, Dad and your sister got you into the chiropractor in Azle so it wouldn’t be so far for me to drive.

Scott, we watched you thrive for all the things you enjoyed, football, discus, shot-put, power lifting and baseball for a bit, each time you were sore. Off you went to the chiropractor and NEVER complained.

Well then about the last 4 or 5 games of football this season, you did complain, not

knowing if it was from getting hit in the back during a game, or if it was from weight lifting, BUT you kept on going. You played in every game of football that was left, then you did your power lifiting.

Well this is when all came to a head. The chiropractor called your mother and said he needed to talk to her, which in turn led her and your dad to a specialist.

Come to find out through your 17 years, you have a lumbar stenosis where normal spines are 16mm, yours is a 4mm. All of this has caused nerve pain going through your back to below your hip.

So my brave grandson, all of this has called time for surgery on January 24, 2014. Where they will be taking parts of your L5 that’s pushing into your nerve.

To me, your Meemaw, and Peepaw, we know you will be ok, and your sister, Hallie, Mom and Dad feel the same way.

My wish is that all the players you have grown up with and your coaches will be there with prayers for you and to check up on you, if just to say hi, (calling and texting) is good but familiar faces are better. This is to let you know grandson, we have your “BACK” no pun intended.

We love you and know all will come out great for you.

Love you, Meemaw and Peepaw Knowlton and family, girlfriend Brandi White and thanks to AHS Coaches & school for helping with Scott’s homebound studies.

Winter Olympics Quake editorial rattles readers are in ‘snow’ Editorial offended much trouble Christian reader Letters to the editor

Dear Sir: I would like to talk about the editorial in this week’s paper [Jan. 15].

It was not done in the right way and, as a Christian and a person that attended the meeting, I was very offended.

We do not need to make a joke about the worry and concern that the earthquakes are causing.

Max Smith Azle

Quake activists are today’s patriots I was totally shocked by the totally misguided satire the Azle News printed Jan. 15, 2014.

Instead of ridiculing the concerned citizens and the experienced and informed people that called the meeting because of similar catastrophes in other parts of Texas, the USA, and around the world, they should have welcomed them with open arms.

If it weren't for brave, concerned citizens and activists in this country, we would still be paying taxes to England, not be able to vote for our leaders, be totally segregated down to the restrooms and drinking fountains, and women would not be able to vote!

The fact is that the oil and gas well industry cares more about its profits than the people that their industry affects in a very negative way. The closest comparison that comes to mind is the tobacco industry lying to us for decades about the cancer-causing tobacco they wanted to get people addicted to.

Until recently, the average citizen didn't have a clue that other countries like Bulgaria, Romania, and France have banned the “environmentally destructive” fracking and disposal wells. Just like many other areas nationally and internationally, these 32 recent Azle area earthquakes – that have caused lots of damage to many local homes – are caused from drilling, fracking, and disposal wells. That's why DFW Airport, Cleburne, Burleson, and Dallas areas, among others, restricted the disposal wells and fracking.

So, if Mark Campbell and the Azle News wants to ridicule us as “Bad News locusts” and a “frenzied” audience at the Jan. 13, 2014 town hall meeting, then we're in good company, like Paul Revere, George Washington, and John Hancock.

Hopefully, when more people put 2 + 2 together, they'll realize, like Colorado, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, New York, and other states, that, not only the “non-environmentally friendly” practices of drilling, fracking, and

disposal wells, but the resulting earthquakes “are,” and “will” crack and cause leaks in the cement casings that are “supposed” to be on the drilling, fracking, and disposal wells – which will contaminate our underground aquifers!

No amount of gas is worth sacrificing our clean air, clean and plentiful water, (disposal wells are pumping at least 9 billions of gallons of contaminated, cancer-causing fluids into our earth each month), or the health of our future generations.

So, if some uninformed friends of the gas well industry want to compare us to Erin Brockovich or George Washington – we say “thank you.” We'll try even harder to improve our government and environment by not voting for candidates that let the gas well industry run wild – at our expense.

Instead, we'll vote for quality and caring candidates.

Darlia Hobbs Eagle Mountain Lake resident

Editoral got it right says Azle resident To MKC: Regarding your Editorial in the January 15, 2014 edition of the Azle News – amen and spot on.

Name withheld by request Azle

Water issue just as vital as quakes Sir: Thank you for your general coverage, re: fracking issues; however I implore you to take this further.

While some people are rightfully upset about cracks in their homes, broken pipes, etc., the primary issue is what they are injecting into the wells.

These are toxic chemicals that result in horrible effects, mutations, and death to fish, livestock, and human mutations.

I feel sorry for our mayor (not that he was in office at the time). So many people jumped at the easy money.

But now we have a responsibility to our landowners and our children.

I urge you to investigate this issue.

I’m sure the data is readily available through the EPA, clean water organizations, etc.

It was a mere oversight that these kinds of groups were prohibited from being able to attend that meeting.

Please don’t reduce this to a story about pictures falling off walls or citizens feeling the need to go to bed fully dressed.

You can discuss the correlation between fracking and quakes all you want. But there is no reason to with-

hold the information from anyone about what is being injected into the wells following the fracking process.

There is also probable cause to consider the effect of pulverizing the rock and creating sinkholes.

Kathy Rhodes Azle

Why is King on the sub-committee?

I have been informed that Phil King, because of his service to the oil and gas industry on the energy resources committee, has been named to the new sub-committee set to investigate the plague of earthquakes affecting Wise, Parker and Tarrant Counties.

One can’t help but wonder why him? He failed the people of his district once already. How can he be trusted to be a champion to them now?

In February of 2013, King was a guest panel member, along with State Senators Rodney Ellis and Carlos Uresti and State Representative Van Taylor on a discussion forum titled “Drilling Down: The Fracking Boom and the Texas Legislature.”

In a video posted of the event (http:// stateimpact.npr.org/texas/2013/03/05/ earthquakes-or-seismic-activity-lawmakers-on-drillings-unintended-byproducts/) Phil King was caught saying some shocking things when asked about earthquakes and industry related practices such as fracking and deep well disposal.

Bottom line and what this means is that our representative, Phil King, was warned almost a year before the Azle/ Boyd area earthquakes that started in Oct./Nov. 2013, that the fracking process and injection wells did indeed cause earthquakes. Mr. King let a year go – one legislative session where he was on the energy resources committee and could have put forth a bill for stronger regulations of injection wells go by and he let his own people live with a ticking time bomb.

Now he's in reactive mode that will take at least another year before he will begin to give answers to his constituents. Now what answers will they be?

We victims here in North Texas are counting on some “people” results. Is Phil King the guy that will look into the eyes of our affected men, women, children, and elderly whom are living with anguish and hopelessness while begging for answers and assurances that they won't lose all that they have and say “I understand and I’m on your side”? Will he be the leader for us that will take a moment of his time to feel our fear?

I think not; for me he’s already proven himself.

Look for the “western” meaning of a word first!

E

nglish words often have more than one meaning.

Usually my mind jumps first to the western or historic definition before the modern one. For example, a few days ago a headline in the newspaper said “Barnes has Longhorns on the comeback trail.” I immediately was glad that the celebrated animal of the long cattle drives was increasing in population and not at risk. It turns out, the story was praising the coach of the University of Texas basketball team!

Even in our sports-oriented Metroplex, usually my reaction when hearing “Cowboys” or “Texas Rangers” is not either football or baseball.

Let's examine another word: “rendezvous.” Webster's dictionary says: “a place designated for a meeting or assembling,” “an agreement or appointment between two or more persons.” I think many folks place a romantic aspect to a “rendezvous.”

Nobody is thinking western, not even wordsmiths who updated Noah Web-

THE

ster's dictionary.

A rendezvous in the West was the annual gathering of mountain men and fur trappers to meet friends, whoop it up, and to sell their year's yield of furs to the buyers who came out from St. Louis. Because early fur trappers west of the Mississippi were French Canadians, the French word for a meeting place, “rendezvous,” became accepted.

The first such gathering took place in 1825. Peter Skene Ogden of the British Hudson's Bay Company traveled farther south than usual and ended up camping just above the Great Salt Lake. Unexpectedly, on the afternoon of May 23, 1825, a group of 25 fur trappers displaying the American flag set up camp nearby. Both groups technically were trespassing on Mexican soil that only four years earlier belonged to Spain. William Ashley led the Americans. Through his actions that spring he created a gathering that became the annual rendezvous. Ashley divided his men into four groups.

PAGES FROM WESTERN HISTORY J’Nell L. Pate

before July 10.

When the Americans arrived, the Hudson's Bay trappers saw a way to sell their furs and buy supplies without leaving the mountains. This became the first of 16 annual "rendezvous" in the Rocky Mountains that turned the fur trade into a very serious business.

He told the other three that he would find a place down stream of the Green River to “cache” (another French word, means “hide”) the furs and make the site “as a place of General Rendezvous for the men in my service in that Country.” He told the men to assemble there

Publisher Kim Ware Editor Mark K. Campbell

The creek entering the Green River, where they met, became known as Henry's Fork. As many as 120 trappers came, and friendly Indians camped with their families. Officially, this first one lasted only one day, July 1, to take care of business. Ashley bought beaver pelts from the trappers and sold them food and supplies he had brought from St. Louis. He paid about $3 per pound for the pelts and carried back to St. Louis 8,829 pounds of beaver fur for which he paid around $26,000.

He sold them for between $40,000 and $50,000. Ashley learned that the next year the men wanted him to bring traps, powder, lead, flint, skinning knives, coffee, sugar, tobacco, blankets and “booze.”

The latter proved the undoing of the less disciplined trappers who got drunk at the rendezvous, gambled away the money they had been paid for a year's work, and had to go into debt to Ashley or other suppliers in order to have necessities for the coming year.

Since the trappers remained in the mountains year round, they depended on the annual rendezvous. After they began marrying Indian wives, life got a bit more complicated because their wives requested items to be brought to the next rendezvous: ribbons, bells, beads, cloth, mirrors, combs, etc.

For this column I renewed my knowledge of the rendezvous by rereading a book by my friend Robert M. Utley, one of the most accurate writers of western history alive today.

His A Life Wild and Perilous about the mountain men is the definitive book on the subject. Thanks, Bob. Readers hopefully now understand why I don't think “romantic interlude” when I hear the word “rendezvous” but instead imagine a camping place in the mountains full of rambunctious, bearded mountain men.

Report proposes paths toward water security

S

tate Comptroller Susan Combs on Jan. 14 released “Texas Water Report: Going Deeper For The Solution,” a study of water issues Texas faces, and a set of recommendations.

“Texas has been prone to cycles of drought for centuries and there is no reason to expect that basic pattern to change,” Combs said in bringing attention to the report. “Yet our state has changed and its booming population and economy are creating an increasingly unquenchable demand for water,” she added.

Available now at the comptroller’s web site (cpa.state. tx.us) the report also explains the $2 billion in new funding for water projects approved Nov. 5 by voters in a constitutional amendment. Voter approval was a positive step, Combs said, adding, “We need a revolution in water technology. We need a breakthrough in

this fi eld, and some of our state funding should be used for innovative technologies which increase conservation.”

In the report, Combs recommends: • A “prize framework” to be established by the Legislature, “to reward those who develop proven new, cheap sources of drinking water.”

• Cost-effective supplements to reservoirs and aquifers.

• A grant program to provide assistance to local water authorities “including but not limited to” cities, counties, river authorities, water conservation districts and municipal utility districts that achieve “meaningful and verifi able increases in water effi ciency due to conservation activities.”

“Although we tend to point to the historic drought as a singular cause for our water problems today, we’re not blameless,” said state Sen. Robert Duncan, R-Lubbock, in quoted material included in Combs’ release.

Knowing when you need a timeout

I

watched parts of both NFL conference championship games yesterday. In a couple of weeks I’ll watch the Super Bowl. It should be a good game. At least the advertisers are hoping so. By the way, I read a recent report from the Harvard Business Review that said 80 percent of Super Bowl ads fail to increase purchases or purchasing intent. Makes you wonder about those big bucks those advertisers are spending.

But I digress…

One thing that you notice in these big games is the strategic use of the timeout. Each team gets three time outs per half.

There are additional time outs that may be called by the offi cials. I started pondering (my long-time readers know where this is going) about a great question of life: How do you know you need a timeout?

It began running way back in the summer of 2013, heralding a Christmastime release. Every fi lm seemingly played the JR:SR coming attraction.

Then, out of the blue in the fall, an announcement came that the movie was getting bumped in to the cinematic death pit of January/February (unless you’re a horror movie; they seem to do quite well in January).

Some JR:SR trailers played with the “coming to theaters at Christmas” tag, even after the delay announcement.

The surprise of a major fi lm getting bumped was lessened somewhat by the notice that George Clooney’s The Monuments Men was getting tossed from December to February – a George Clooney movie!

the entire movie; it seems like 1991 again and the movie even literally looks to have been time-traveled from there.

Costner is the other actor worth mentioning. He’s older and chunkier now, no longer the lean hunk. And, with a world weary façade and attitude, he’s believable as a guy who travels the planet to keep America from getting attacked again.

Kudos to JR:SR for not being some sort of Jason Bourne wild action movie; there’s not a fi ght every 10 minutes. In fact, it’s the cat-and-mouse aspects of the picture that stand out.

What doesn’t work Pine isn’t much here. As super as he is in the Star Trek reboots, he’s just too wimpy to be a Marine and CIA agent, even an analyst.

Knightley doesn’t have much to do either.

The action scenes are dull, the sort you’re ready to see end as they go on for fi ve more minutes. Pine races through the streets to save Knightley in a scene that really stretches believability.

Churches are important part of area history

By Natalie GeNtry The gathering of congregations and the construction of churches are an integral part of the early history of many communities.

Our little section of Texas is no different.

As settlers began to move to the area in the mid-1850s,

churches began to form.

First United Methodist Church of Springtown The first church in Parker County was organized at Goshen when a “meeting house” was erected in 1854.

Spearheaded by the Rev. James Pleasant Tackett, the

church worshipped in the log cabin until 1866 when the Union church was built a short distance away.

This building housed worshippers who were Baptist, Methodist, Presbyterians, and other denominations for a number of years.

In 1866, the Methodists completed building their own church on the site of the current First United Methodist Church building.

The church bell from 1886 is still housed in the church’s steeple.

Creek Baptist Church was organized in 1867 by the Reverend J.C. Powers.

Worship services were first held in a log cabin, and in the 1870s a larger log cabin, was built on the banks of Walnut Creek.

In the late 1880s the congregation moved to a site south of the second log cabin and built a frame sanctuary.

Adjacent property was acquired in 1947, and has been the site of several buildings.

Ash Creek Baptist Church of Azle Ash Creek Baptist Church Walnut Creek Baptist Church was organized in 1871, when of Reno The congregation of Walnut 48 charter members, headed by

Azle Spoke We listened Country Cottage is staying open!

Reverend J.C. Powers, gathered.

Stories say that Reverend Powers preached with a gun beside his Bible and men kept rifles on their knees to protect against Indian raids during services.

A meeting house was built at this site in 1891.

During the summers, brush arbors were built and prayer meetings were held on the grounds.

In 1965 a new auditorium was built and the original structure used as a fellowship hall.

Episcopal Church.

The church is located on Park Street in a community that formed on a land gifted from J.J. Jarvis.

The simple cinder block chapel was rebuilt in 1958 and sits on part of 50 acres that was given to Charles Young and Allen Prince in 1886.

The church changed its name to the Christian Methodist Episcopal church in 1966.

COMMUNITY

Several area church structures pre-date 1900 ■ SEVERAL, FROM PAGE ONE.

A new building was constructed in 1901 at the current location on the corner of 5th and Main Street.

However, as the congregation grew the fi rst building was torn down and a new building was erected in 1952.

Additions were made in 1960, 1978, 1980, 1999 and 2006 to accommodate the evergrowing congregation and to provide space for varied ministries.

Azle Christian Church

The Reverend Will A. Stephens and 15 charter members organized this church in 1895.

They then purchased an abandoned building from the United Brethren Church and secured a parsonage.

Sunday School classes began in 1930.

An education building was erected in 1949-51 followed by a new brick sanctuary in 1960.

The congregation was renamed First United Methodist Church in 1968, following the merger of the Evangelical UnitMethodist ed Brethren and the Methodist denominations.

The congregation of Azle Christian Church grew from 14 charter members in 1890.

Worship services were conducted here in the 1880s on land donated by Dr. Azle Stewart, for whom the town was named.

In 1893 the first sanctuary was completed. Before that, the congregation met under a brush arbor.

Additions were later made to the original structure and a new sanctuary was built in 1974.

First United Church of Azle
