Azle High School’s Marching Green Pride got a big surprise – just in time for its Indoor Drumline’s trip to World Championships in Dayton, Ohio – when several local businesses chipped in to have the band’s 18-wheeler digitally custom-wrapped. The band was summoned to the front of AHS Monday afternoon, April 6 as the madeover big rig pulled up, honking. The Indoor Drumline left Tuesday evening for Dayton with the newlywrapped rig hauling equipment. Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman

Convictions of man who shot at APD reversed BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN A man serving time in the Texas penitentiary after being convicted of assaulting a public servant with a vehicle, assaulting a public servant with a shotgun, evading arrest with a vehicle, and deadly conduct will get a new trial. John Berry Isbell, now 55, of Haltom City, was sentenced to 20 years

for the evading charge; 20 years for the deadly conduct charge; and 45 years for each of the assault charges on March 26, 2014. Exactly one year later, a three-judge panel from the Texas Second Court of Appeals issued a memorandum opinion reversing the trial court’s judgment and remanding the case(s) for a new trial(s).

Insta-Oops! BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Azle police executed a search warrant at a home in the 500 block of Dunaway Lane Thursday, April 2 as a result of information posted on social media. According to Azle Detective Sgt. Kevin Rogers, police were dispatched to an alarm call shortly after 11 p.m. March 24, at The Juice Joint Vape Shop in the 500 block of North Stewart Street. When they arrived, police found the front glass of the store had been busted out and was lying on the sidewalk in front of the store. Surveillance video showed two young males each wearing a red shirt and a bandana around his face. The video showed the thinner of the

two men climbing over a sofa to get into the store and then running back out, tripping over the sofa and tumbling onto the ground. Both men then ran toward Chicken Express. The owner of the store posted the video on his Facebook page, and obtained information about the identities of the two burglars as a result. Also through social media, police learned that words similar to those “tagged” on the side of a local salon were also posted on the social media pages of the two suspects. Photos of the two wearing the same clothing in the surveillance video were also found on social media. “The graffiti and the social media

posts – they’re basically associating themselves with a gang possibly known as the East Side (Fort Worth) Blood Gang,” Rogers explained. Police obtained a search warrant to search the home where the two suspects live where they found clothing matching that seen in the surveillance video from the burglary as well as additional evidence that will assist in prosecuting the case, Rogers said. While no arrests have yet been made related to either incident, Azle police continue to investigate additional crimes the two individuals may be linked to and to gather evidence to This graffiti on a local business and seen on social media is helping complete a solid case against them, Azle police find theives – and a possible connection to a Fort Worth according to Rogers. gang.

Banks Runneth Over

Mother Nature wasn’t fooling when furious storms rolled through the area April 1, dropping as much as three inches of rain and hail right into the Eagle Mountain Lake watershed. Area creeks swelled and flashflooding occurred in several spots around town. This creek near the intersection of FM 730 North and Sandy Beach Road rushed water toward the lake later the same day.

Appeal overturns man’s convictions bery in which he received a 33year prison sentence. In that case, Isbell participated in a violent home-invasion robbery in Houston that left two people dead and three others wounded. Isbell was on parole for that crime when he led police on the high-speed chases in Tarrant County.

covered bullet holes in her rear bumper and license plate. Azle police recovered a shotgun near the place where a witness reported seeing it thrown from the vehicle. They also found a spent shell and a damaged shell – both fired from the shotgun tossed from the Jeep – in another location. The following evening, Haltom City police located the Jeep in a residential area in that city. The chase was on again. For more than 20 miles, officers pursued the Jeep as it drove 70 miles-per-hour in a 30 mileper-hour zone, ran into other vehicles on a highway, jumped medians, and reached speeds as high as 125 miles-per-hour. The Jeep even rammed a police cruiser occupied by an officer at one point. Finally, the Jeep hit a mailbox and came to a stop. Both the driver – Isbell, this time – and his passenger, Haney, fled on foot but were eventually caught and arrested. The appeal Isbell’s attorney appealed the trial court’s conviction based three issues: • the trial court erred by granting the State’s motion to consolidate; • the trial court erred by failing to instruct the jury on the accomplice-witness rule; and • improper jury argument. The conclusion The opinion of the Second Court of Appeals indicates the State concedes error in consolidating the four charges but contends the error was harmless. The appeals court decided not to conduct a harm analysis because of its disposition of the second issue. The second argument is that the only evidence linking Isbell to the two indictments for July 17 in Azle was Haney’s testimony and therefore, the jury should have received instructions about the accomplicewitness rule. Haney, Isbell contends, was an accomplice to those crimes. The Second Court of Appeals panel agreed, saying “we believe that the error was such that it “affect[ed] ‘the very basis of the case,’ deprive[d] the 321 West Main Street Azle, Texas Phone: (817) 270-3340 Fax: (817) 270-5300

Green Scene Garden Tour fundraiser slated May 3 Proceeds fund Azle-area beautification projects by carla noah stutsman An enjoyable and fruitful biennial event, the Green Scene Garden Tour is on tap from 12 noon-4:30 p.m. Sunday May 3. Sponsored by the Azle Area Chamber of Commerce, proceeds from the tour will go to the Rock School Outdoor Learning Center garden, a beautification project at the Azle Museum, and other Main Street beautification projects, according to event organizer Peggy Davis. A small portion of money goes to reseed bluebonnets every two years at the “Welcome to Azle” sign on the west side of Boyd Road near Walnut Creek.

Tickets for the Garden Tour, which features six beautiful gardens this year, are $15 each, available at the Azle Area Chamber of Commerce, at Queen Bee’s Garden in Azle, from individual members, and at the first garden. Sack lunches, $5 each, may be purchased al fresco at a dining area in the first garden. This year’s gardens emphasize sun and shade, and range in size from several acres to compact. Three include interesting water features. The six gardens are: Texas Rustic Elegance, Folk Art Fantasy, Celebration Gathering, Enchanted Wood, An English

Turn, and Heirloom. The first garden on the tour, located out in the country, uses native stone from the site and mostly indigenous plants. One home features a multiacre garden in and around dense woods. In town, a compact garden will be decorated for a bridal shower. Another city garden features folk art and old iron implements in a complementary way. A shaded and winding stream cools one garden on the hottest days. Eagle Mountain Lake provides the setting for a shaded fern garden and sunny rose and perennial area.

Whether you prefer your garden to be formal, wild, playful, bright and sunny, or shady and serene, those options await at the Green Scene Garden Tour May 3.

Mobile Storm Help

Lake Report

In response to reports of significant hail damage in the area from storms Wednesday, April 1, State Farm has set up a mobile catastrophe unit in the 100 block of Industrial Avenue in Azle. The unit is in the parking lot next to Pizza Hut and is intended for automobiles and light trucks only. A State Farm spokesman on site said the first thing anyone who sustained damage should do is contact their agent and file a claim. A claims specialist will set an appointment to bring your vehicle to the mobile catastrophe unit or to send a claims adjuster to your residence or your place of work. Property claims will require an adjuster visit your property. The spokesman said State Farm will be in the location for “as long as it takes to get the job done.” Photos by Carla Noah Stutsman

Letter to the Editor Republicans as much to blame as Obama for Iran deal Dear Editor: The framework of this so-called good deal to lift embargo sanctions against Iran in their past nuclear proliferation by this scandal ridden Obama administration is a good April fools joke, I suppose. These magpies who are chirping the loudest in Iran makes me think of that fable that “the early bird does indeed get the worm,” and have literally pulled that Persian rug right out from under Mr. Obama's feet in playing this president for the fool he is. It was just a few weeks ago that the president and foreign minister of Iran symbiotically used in caustic rhetoric for the world to hear – “death to America!”) – and have always stressed in their ideology “to wipe Israel, and the Jews off the face of the earth.” Now this is the churlish behavior and absolute lunatics who we are deal-

ing with, and Mr. Obama would put up the White House as collateral to secure a legacy in a nuclear pact with our enemy. As it stands right now, Iran would still keep a significant number of centrifuges for uranium enrichment – which in my arithmetic equals nuclear

bomb – keep their top secret underground/bunker depots with no inspections, and keep their ICBM they have for defense. That's funny, the last time I checked, an ICBM is for offense only. But then again, we're talking about Mr. Obama's pay grade in IQ!

Now the coup de grace is this fraudulent Republican party that now holds a majority in Congress that is suppose to keep a check and balances of what the president can and cannot do in an executive power grab. These Republican congressional representatives who you recently

elected are just as deceptive as Mr. Obama. The Republicans have capitulated to everything that the president and his party wants to cement in legislation forever. Joseph Bryan Fort Worth

fighting for Texas independence. Rice wrote the governor of Texas, Edmund J. Davis, and applied for his pension. He wrote, “I am an old Texan Soldier who Inlisted [sic] in Libber Rating [sic] Texas from Mexico.” Rice had to get letters and depositions from people who could vouch for his service in the Texas Revolution, and finally in 1875 received a pension of $500 per year, which was a generous sum in those days. The home the Rice family built near Azle was a frame house on present Nine Mile Bridge Road about three/ tenths of a mile southeast of its intersection with Silver Creek Road. The house sat on the land until it burned in the 1950s. Rice lived there until his death February 16, 1878. If anyone wants to locate his grave today to see the new brass plaque placed on his marble marker, enter the cemetery at the eastern gate of the two gates that are on South Stewart Street. Glance to the right as you drive slowly. The monument and a black Texas Historical Marker stand side by side at his grave. The new, round medallion dedicated March 28, is a “Defender Memorial Medallion” and was inserted in the already existing monument. It is quite an honor that a wounded hero of the Texas War for Independence rests in our city.

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.

SB 6 by Sen. Larry Taylor, Safety on April 1 announced

fter 17 hours of floor debate and hundreds of amendments considered, the Texas House of Representatives on April 1 passed House Bill 1, a state budget for fiscal years 2016 and 2017 that appropriates $209.8 billion. The vote was 141 in favor to 5 against, with nay votes cast by Reps. David Simpson, RLongview; Matt Schaefer, RTyler; freshman Matt Rinaldi, R-Irving; freshman Tony Tinderholt, R-Arlington; and freshman Molly White, R-Belton. The House version of the state budget, a 3.8 percent increase over the current 2014-2015 state budget, draws no funds from the Economic Stabilization (“rainy day”) Fund. Senate concurrence with the HB 1 is necessary for the state budget to be finally adopted. SB 2, the Senate version of 2016-2017 state budget, has been pending in the Senate Finance Committee since March 25. On April 1, on a vote of 1480, the House also passed HB 2, supplemental appropriations and funding adjustments for various state agencies. Notably, the legislation, in addition to amounts previously appropriated for 2014- 2015, appropriates some $768 million out of the general revenue fund to the Teacher Retirement System to

prevent the impending insolvency of the state agency’s TRSCare health care fund. House Appropriations Committee Chair John Otto, RDayton, the primary author of HB 1 and HB 2, stood true to his Feb. 25 House floor announcement, in which he said the House would fully fund health care for retired public school employees and their dependents.

more than two tons of marijuana with an estimated value of more than $24 million were seized on March 30 after a state trooper pulled over a tractor trailer in Starr County for a commercial vehicle inspection on U.S. 83 west of Roma. During the inspection, the trooper discovered 174 bundles totaling 4,040 pounds of marijuana concealed inside the pressure washer skid being towed on the flatbed trailer. The driver was arrested and placed in federal custody. Distracted driving takes toll April is National Distracted Driving Awareness Month, and Texas Department of Transportation has kicked off its annual “Talk, Text, Crash” campaign to urge drivers to give their full attention to the road. “Nearly 1 in 5 traffic crashes in Texas is caused by a distracted driver. Last year, 468 people were killed because someone took their attention off the road. How important is a fleeting distraction when it could end in the death of someone, perhaps even one of your loved ones?” TxDOT Deputy Executive Director John Barton asks in a campaign news release. Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

CTGC hosting qualifier

Azle netters collect honors The Azle High School tennis teams played at Godley and Fort Worth. The varsity headed to Godley and Coach Lisa Helm said the 8-team tourney had “some great competition.” Two doubles teams finished as runners-up. Cody Cook-Kaleb McEwen took second in boys doubles. In mixed doubles, John Vining-Briana Moore displayed “outstanding heart and hustle” with their second place effort, Helm recalled. Peyton Smith finished third in boys singles. “He lost in the semis to a state-ranked boy from Everman,” the coach said. Hunter Beck-Logan Hutton took third in boys doubles and, in mixed doubles, Daniel Clark-Mackenzie Morelock were third, too. Macie Strickland-Mikayla Davis won consolation girls doubles.

by mark k. campbell Golf pro Patrick Buhrmann has seen it before. Between 40 and 50 hopefuls are headed to Cross Timbers Golf Course where Buhrmann is the head golf pro. Those golfers due on Friday, April 10 are hoping to pass the PAT – Playing Ability Test. Buhrmann said he has hosted them before out in West Texas, his earlier stop. All ages will tee up for the PAT at CTGC. Buhrmann said they could

age from retirees who are looking for another way to work to young former pros or college players seeking their PGA-certified card. To get that coveted honor, golfers must beat the course rating plus 15 strokes, Buhrmann said. “That’s usually in the mid70’s,” he said. “Usually only 15 to 20 percent of any group passes.” The PAT is part of the apprenticeship that “demonstrates” a golfer’s skill level to work at

the professional level. Passing the PAT and other requirements means a golfer is talented enough to give lessons, the CTGC pro said. Azle is just one golf course in the region that offers a PAT. McKinney’s Stonebridge Ranch Country Club has already hosted. Other chances for hopefuls include stops in Odessa, Plano, Richardson, Grand Prairie, and Mansfield in 2015. But 10 or so might first reach their dream in Azle.

Varsity Hornets Cody Cook and Kaleb McEwen finished second in boys doubles at a Godley tournament. The junior varsity faced 12 other teams at FW South Hills. Brandon Bailey-Gabe Gamble won boys doubles. In mixed doubles, Hayden Wilson-Laurin Baker were run-

Hornets fall to Boswell After one inning, Azle and Boswell were tied at the Hornet diamond. But that one run for AHS would be all Azle could muster in an 8-1 loss in District 5-5A play. The Hornets managed just 4 hits and, worse, committed 5 errors. At the plate, 13 AHS batters struck out. Half of Azle’s hits came from Trey Ramos who scored the lone Hornet run. Trevor Boiles batted Ramos in with a double. The other safety came from Zack Tucker. Blake Hall pitched 6 innings;

Devon Oliver threw the other frame. The Hornets will host Wichita Falls April 10, marking the beginning of the second round of 5-5A play.

Movie Man

Azle News

Wednesday, April 8, 2015

Furious car movie is anything but fast As expected, Furious 7 – yet another sequel in the Fast and the Furious series – destroyed the April record book. With its gigantic take of $144 million, you can be sure that another movie looms in the series – even with the death of a major actor, Paul Walker. His isn’t the most famous post-death role, but it’s up there. About the film Plenty of actors have popped up in movies after they have expired – that’s the nature of the business. Most famous, of course, is Heath Ledger who won a Best Supporting Actor Oscar as the Joker in The Dark Knight (2008, Movie Man No. 782, an 8), even though another movie he was making was cobbled together later, The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassis (2009). James Dean’s final two movies in the can after he died in 1955 were huge: Rebel Without a Cause and Giant, the latter released over a year after he was killed in a car crash. However, the usual case, sadly, is that a final movie isn’t one the actor would’ve chosen to go out on. Robin Williams’ last movie was a small part in last year’s Night at the Museum: Secret of the Tomb, a bummer from a guy who turned in many memorable roles. Other recent deaths include James Gandolfini and Philip Seymour Hoffman but their finales, The Drop and God’s Pocket, respectively, disappeared quickly. Well-liked others who finished with a posthumous flub include Natalie Wood (1983, Brainstorm), Phil Hartman (1998, Buster & Chauncey’s Silent Night), Bernie Mac (2009, Old Dogs), and John Candy (1995, Canadian Bacon).

brother. So he’s out to get the gang. (One bit the dust at the end of Fast and Furious [MM #1037, 6].) A super-duper black ops guy, Statham is a “shadow” and can’t be caught. Government secret dude, “Mr. Nobody” (Kurt Russell), convinces Diesel that he can deliver Statham to Diesel but first he must deliver a special device called God’s Eye that can find anyone, anywhere – a device that was created by Ramsey (Nathalie Emmanuel). She’s being transported and guarded by a mini-army. No problem for the Furious gang. But Statham is still out there and, after trips to Abu Dhabi and, finally, America, Statham Diesel face off. There are others to help in the manhunt. Agent Hobbs (Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson) comes to the rescue and there’s always Diesel’s crew which includes his amnesiac wife Letty (Michelle Rodriguez), Roman (Tyrese Gibson), and Tej (Ludacris) – not to mention Brian (Walker). What works If you like cars being driven really fast and stunts so preposterous that you can only chuckle, then this movie is for you. It’s so ridiculous that you have

to shake your head – and keep watching. As dull as Diesel is, he makes Johnson shine even brighter. When The Rock is on the screen, things always ratchet up. That dude is funny, he’s ripped, and he’s the best thing in this movie by a mile. Too bad he’s in it so little. The rapport between Gibson and Ludacris is witty and they play it well. The first big bit – the rescue of Emmanuel – is okay, but the real winner is when the group goes undercover at Abu Dhabi. That’s when Furious 7 has its broadest appeal. There’s some real emotion in a couple of scenes where Walker is saying goodbye on 920 W. Thompson, Decatur

Up on the roof

North Texas Volcano?

Homeowners should beware of roofing scams in wake of spring storms BY NATALIE GENTRY Mere days after strong winds and hail caused damage to commercial and residential structures throughout the area, fly-by-night “storm chaser” roofing contracting companies descended in droves. Just a day after the storm in Springtown, Parker County Commissioner George Conley said 22 different companies had placed over 200 signs in the area – all picked up, he said. While not all storm chasing roofers are bad, homeowners need to be careful with who they allow to work on one of their most valuable assets – their home. High pressure sales tactics The Texas Department of Insurance (TDI) website recommends homeowners don’t allow contractors on their roof before their insurance adjuster has inspected it, as there have been reported cases of crooked contractors creating more damage in order to receive a larger payout. The agency also cautions homeowners to be wary of door-to-door solicitations, an all too common recent occurrence. “I’ve had several people call me and beg me to put a sign in

their yard so the out-of-town roofers will leave them alone,” Blake May, owner of Diamond B. Roofing said. “The signs used to mean that, say, a homeowner had already chosen a roofer, but now they are just being ignored. “One of my customers was pressured so hard that he finally told the guy to replace my sign in the yard just to get him to leave.” One warning indicator of a potentially unscrupulous contractor is the push to have homeowners sign an agreement on the spot. Deductible assistance programs There is an old saying; “when something sounds too good to be true, it usually is.” So it goes with so-called “no deductible” offers promised by fly-by-night roofers. “These programs are offered to the detriment of both insurers that are over-charged, and competitors that feel the act of covering deductibles is unethical or illegal,” the Dallas BBB website said. “The practice is called ‘deductible assistance’ by some and ‘deductible fraud’ by others. Depending on who

No, it’s not a newly-formed volcano that was discovered behind the News office after the recent storms. This is a colossal fire ant bed – one of many popping up in the area.

AAA Texas tips to avoid roofing scams • Make sure the roof damage is covered by your insurance policy. • Be cautious about door-to-door offers of roof repair services and flyers or business cards that are left at your property. • Obtain estimates from more than one roof contractor – including a summary of work to be done, time schedules, guarantees, and payment schedules in writing. • Obtain everything in writing. The best way to avoid disputes over what is or isn't expected from a home improvement/repair job is to write out the details in a contract. • The roofing repair contract should be as specific as possible regarding materials to be used, including the quality, quantity, weight, color, size, or brand name as it may apply. There should be no blank spaces. It hailed a lot as the storm swooped in on the afternoon of April 1. Some areas saw much bigger stones than these – especially between Springtown and Azle where some baseball size hail was reported. Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman

Hail and storm bring nefarious businesses to Azle, Springtown is unethical. However, according to the BBB, deductible assistance programs are often convoluted enough to confuse even savvy consumers that participate in a scheme which usually results in a loss to the insurer and is, in essence, identical to the overt insurance fraud described above.

you ask, the practice is illegal or, at best, deceptive.” In short, Texas law prohibits advertising or offering goods or services and offering to pay a deductible, or a rebate equal to all or part of the deductible according to the BBB. This is another tactic that has been used recently in Springtown, Reno, and surrounding Advertising reimbursements areas. One of the common forms “I’ve seen roofers offering of deductible assistance used big screen TVs, 24-hour fitness by storm-chasing roofers is the memberships for a year, and “advertising reimbursement.” free deductibles in order to get According to the BBB, in local jobs,” May said. “If these this scenario a roofer will bill companies can the consumer afford to cover for the full rea $2,000 deplacement valductible and ofue cost of the fer a $1,000 TV, roof, the maxiwhat corners mum amount are being cut on that the insurthat roof?” ance company Most conhas agreed to sumers underpay, regardless stand the idea of of the actual overt insurance replacement Blake May fraud. cost.

Google is free and it takes about five minutes to check out a company.

While supporters claim advertising agreements are a separate agreement and side-steps insurance fraud, the reality is that the insurer is overcharged in the same way as a consumer that counterfeits a receipt. Except this homeowner gets a $1 sign in their yard for their efforts.

• Keep receipts and records of payments to your contractor. • Beware of roofers who only accept cash or who request the entire payment up front. • If you have questions about the coverage provided by your policy, contact your insurance provider. • Don't sign a completion certificate until the work is finished and you've made sure that the repairs are up to current code.

“An estimate should be in writing and provide a summary of work to be done, time schedules, guarantees, and payment schedules,” its website says. “Insist on an itemized contract in writing and pay only as work is completed. “Never sign a contract with blanks.
