In One End and Out the Other

For more than a week, massive amounts of water have been flowing into the north end of Eagle Mountain Lake at Bobo Crossing off County Road 4868 south of Boyd. Anglers scooped up shad by the tub full for bait; see how they did it on Page 8A. Lesser – but still voluminous – amounts were being pumped from the EML spillway at the south end of the lake downstream to Lake Worth. Photos by Carla Noah Stutsman

Boy feared drowned found safe

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Many feared the worst – that 13-year-old William Cooper had drowned in Lake Worth.

But news came after 9 p.m. Monday night, May 17, that the boy had been found – safe and apparently uninjured – at an Albertson’s grocery store in Lake Worth.

The teen had left his Lakeside home around 5 p.m. Sunday to go fishing but didn’t return.

Lakeside Police Chief Lee Pitts said the boy’s mother called around 10:30 a.m. Monday to report him missing.

Soon, a search was underway, and it didn’t take long to discover his bicycle and a windbreaker he’d been wearing at Camp Joy on Lake Worth.

Pitts asked for help in the search and got it – from Fort Worth Police Department and its helicopter, AirOne; the Fort Worth Marshal’s Division; Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office, and area game wardens.

Teen killed on 199

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Azle police are asking for help from anyone who may have witnessed events that led to the death of a teenage girl on SH 199 after midnight Sunday, May 17.

Savanah Alexandria Moss, 16, was pronounced dead at John Peter Smith Hospital in Fort Worth at 2:39 a.m.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office preliminary report attributes the cause of death to blunt force trauma due to a motor vehicle vs. pedestrian collision and secondary overrun.

Lt. Darrell West of the Azle Police Department said a passing motorist called 911 at 12:47 a.m. to report a female lying in the eastbound lanes of SH 199 just east of the Stewart Street Bridge; the caller noted the female was moving.

When officers arrived, the girl was located on the right shoulder of the roadway, alive but badly injured.

She was transported by Azle ambulance to JPS. Azle medics tried to have the girl flown, but heavy thunderstorms in the

immediate area prevented all air ambulances from flying.

“So far, we have not been able to confirm that she was struck by one or more vehicles. If she was, the vehicle or vehicles did not stop to render aid,” West said.

“But it was dark and raining – depending on how and where she was struck, it is possible a vehicle could have hit her and not realized it under those conditions.”

West said that police have not ruled out a possibility that the girl may have fallen or even jumped from the bridge, and are continuing to investigate all possibilities.

Azle Police Chief Rick Pippins said that the investigation involves tracking down Moss’ last movements, following up on where she had been and who she’d been with, and the events leading up to her death.

Anyone who may have seen anything in the general area of SH 199 and the Stewart Street Bridge between midnight and 1 a.m. Sunday, May 17 is urged to contact Detective Sgt. Kevin Rogers at 817-444-3221.

This Week in Azle History

Lakeside teen was missing 28 hours

nines – trained in various search and rescue techniques – arrived to help.

Word of the missing teen spread quickly via social media, and shortly after 9 p.m., Pitts called for media representatives covering the search to gather for a briefing.

Someone at the Lake Worth Albertson’s had recognized Cooper from a picture he’d seen and called 911, Pitts said. A Lakeside officer was dispatched to the store and confirmed it was indeed, the missing teen.

“He was exhausted, and he had quite a few insect bites,” Pitts said on Tuesday. “We’re pretty sure he spent the night outside, so we decided to send him home with his parents, and we’ll be talking with them all later today to determine exactly what happened.”

Pitts said that after he got home Monday night – taking off his wet and muddy boots at the door and putting them in the sink to clean up later – he had some time to reflect on the day’s events.

Young Cooper’s mother had been the subject of criticism for not calling

to report her son missing sooner, and Pitts said he even wondered about that himself.

“But when I started thinking about all that had happened, I remembered that initial phone call, and I think she may have had a misconception,” Pitts said. “The first thing she said to me was that she knew there was a 24-hour waiting period to report someone missing, but could I help her find her son.”

Pitts said that for adults, there is typically that 24-hour wait before a missing person report can be taken if there are no suspicious circumstances.

“But that does not apply to anyone under the age of 17,” Pitts said. “The more I think about it, the more I’m sure she simply didn’t know that.”

Pitts said he couldn’t have asked for a better outcome to the situation.

“When anyone is missing – even an adult – you worry, and you’re concerned,” he said. “But a kid that young, who doesn’t possess the maturity to make decisions that an adult would, that worry and that concern is much greater.”

National Police Officers Memorial Day

Azle Police Chief Rick Pippins and Chaplain Glyn Murphy led a ceremony commemorating National Peace Officers Memorial Day in front of Azle city hall May 15. Pippins shook each officer’s hand and welcomed members of the Azle Fire Department, as well. Cpl. David Poe and Det. Richard Lukowsky lowered the flag to half-mast in honor of those who have given their lives serving and protecting.

District removes water restrictions

199 Rollover Injures Duo

Conservation still encouraged

Eastbound traffic on SH 199 was diverted to the service road west of the Wells Burnett/Brookshire Avenue Bridge May 18, beginning just before 6 p.m. until about 10 p.m. while Azle police investigated a one-vehicle rollover. According to police, David Pierce, believed to be about 52, and his passenger, Audrey Bell Bryant, 57, of Lake Worth, were eastbound in a minivan they had just bought when for an unknown reason, the vehicle hit the concrete barrier. The minivan “rode” the barrier approximately the length of one section before returning to the main lanes and overturning. Bryant was transported to a hospital with critical injuries; Pierce was also taken to a hospital. CareFlite Ground Ambulance and Eagle Mountain EMS assisted with transports. No further information was available at press time.

The Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) has notified its wholesale customers that Stage 1 watering restrictions terminated effective May 18.

In turn, the city of Azle has lifted its Stage I watering restrictions effective the same date.

According to a press release issued by TRWD, the drought restrictions were put in place in June 2013 when its reservoirs fell below 75 percent capacity, limiting outdoor watering to twice-per-week.

After heavy rains earlier this spring, the water district’s reservoirs have climbed to more than 95 percent capacity. It is estimated the conservation measures reduced demands by 39 percent during a period of

peak use, saving an estimated 112 million gallons per day.

Although drought conditions have subsided, TRWD encourages the public to continue practicing voluntary conservation measures in order to reduce peak demands in the summer and prolong the area’s water supplies.

TRWD’s wholesale customers include the cities of Azle, Fort Worth, Arlington and Mansfield, as well as the Trinity River Authority. The water district provides raw water to nearly two million people in the North Texas area, including about 98 percent of Tarrant County’s population.

NW Parkway Death

Sanctuary man jailed for shooting his son Duo argued then struggled by carla noah stutsman A Sanctuary man sits in the Parker County jail in lieu of $50,000 bond after he allegedly shot his son in the leg.

Elbert Denny Smith, 56, was arrested May 13 and charged with aggravated assault with a deadly weapon, a felony in the second-degree.

According to a press release

Elbert Denny Smith

issued by the Parker County Sheriff’s Office, the incident occurred about 9:30 p.m. May 13 in the 1900 block of Glendale Drive in Sanctuary.

Sheriff Larry Fowler said when deputies arrived on the scene, the 30-year-old male victim reported his father had shot him in the leg during an argument.

The victim told deputies Smith fled the scene to another residence down the street. As deputies approached the residence where Smith was believed to be, they observed a green GMC pickup leaving the residence.

The vehicle stopped in the 100 block of Live Oak Drive, where Smith was detained without further incident.

The weapon believed to have been used in the incident was discovered behind the driver’s seat of

the truck.

According to the press release, Smith told deputies he woke his son up to ask him a question and an argument ensued.

When the son approached “in a violent manner,” things got physical, and the younger man bumped Smith with his chest.

During the argument, Smith said he became scared, and picked up a .22 handgun and shot his son.

Smith also stated he did not shoot his son in an attempt to kill him, the release says.

The case remains under investigation.

David Lawrence Johnson, 64, of Springtown, was killed Tuesday night, May 12, when the black 1996 GMC Sierra C1500 pickup in which he was a passenger hit a telephone pole in the 500 block of Northwest Parkway in front of Murphy’s gas station.

The men were westbound on the service road when the pickup appeared to enter the entrance ramp onto SH 199 but then crossed the grass median, striking and knocking down a street sign before crashing into the telephone pole. The pickup’s driver, Daniel Scott Norfleet, 57, of Boyd, was transported to a Fort Worth hospital with incapacitating injuries. According to the police report, Johnson was not wearing a seat belt, but Norfleet was. Both speed and alcohol were listed as factors that may have contributed to causing the accident.

‘Monster’ with Aryan Brotherhood ties convicted in 2012 torture, murder near Azle by carla noah stutsman A Tarrant County jury took 37 minutes to convict Staten William Corbett, Jr. for murder as well as for tampering with evidence Wednesday, May 13, in Fort Worth.

Fondly called “Monster” by friends and fellow members of the Aryan Brotherhood, Corbett was the first of three men accused in the heinous July 2012 torture and murder of Earnest Lackey to be tried.

It is believed Lackey endured hours of extreme torture before being killed inside a mobile home in the 6000 block of Big Wood Court off Tenderfoot Trail. The location is just southeast of Azle in unincorporated Tarrant County, but well within the Azle Independent School District.

A visiting judge in the 372nd District Court presided over the trial, which took 10 days.

Judge Scott Wisch of that court will assess Corbett’s punish-

ment in about eight weeks, a spokesperson for the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office said.

Prosecutors Art Clayton and Lisa Callaghan represented the state. Attorneys Jim Shaw and Ray Napolitan provided the defense for Corbett.

The jury heard evidence that Corbett, along with co-defendants Ronnie Freeman, Jr. and Jimmy “Jimbo” Lee Riddle, and several witnesses, including Lackey, consumed methamphetamine and gathered at Freeman’s trailer on Big Wood Court one night in early July 2012.

Lackey, claiming to be a member of the Aryan Brotherhood, was asked by the three co-defendants to recite the “14 words,” a doctrine or belief of the AB. Upon his inability to recite the phrase, Lackey was attacked by “Monster” and his co-defendants, themselves professed AB members.

Witnesses in an adjoining room testified to hearing screams from the victim, interspersed with Corbett’s offensive shouting.

Looking through a crack in the doorway, those witnesses testified, they observed Lackey being kicked, punched, choked and tortured.

Hours later, the witnesses said they saw Lackey lying motionless in the living room wrapped in a blanket, and then being loaded into the trunk of Corbett’s vehicle.

Lackey’s badly decomposed body was discovered August 2, 2012 in a rural area northeast of Eagle Mountain Lake, wrapped in the blanket and tied with yellow cord.

The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office reported the victim’s hyoid bone and thyroid cartilage exhibited signs of being cut, slashed or stabbed by a sharp-bladed object, and Lackey suffered several broken ribs and

Staten William Corbett, Jr. ...aka “Monster” a broken bone in his spine at or around the time of his death.

“Earnest Lackey was brutally beaten, tortured, and killed by his assailants. The savagery of the violence and total disregard for human life shown by this defendant is terrifying,” said prosecutor Art Clayton. “Earnest’s suffering in his final moments is unimaginable.”

Jimmy Lee “Jimbo” Riddle Ronnie Wayne Freeman A gang expert from the Fort Worth Police Department testified that falsely claiming to be a member of the Aryan Brotherhood can result in aggravated assault or death.

On July 17, just 10 days after Lackey died, Freeman was arrested on July 17, 2012 – before Lackey’s body was discovered – on an unrelated charge of assault with bodily injury.

Corbett was arrested Aug. 6, 2012 for a parole violation and Riddle on Aug. 8, 2012 for making a terroristic threat and for nonpayment of child support.

None of the three have seen freedom since their respective arrests, and remain in jail – Corbett awaits sentencing while Freeman and Riddle remain in lieu of $100,000 bond each as they await their own trials.

Officers with the Azle Police Department arrested the following individuals from May 3-16: • Jared B. Batholomew, 21, of East Alton, Illinois, was arrested May 3 in the 200 block of West SH 199 and charged with driving while intoxicated with an open container as well as with unlawfully carrying a weapon. Bartholomew posted $7,000 bond for the DWI charge and $4,000 bond for the weapon charge and was released from the Azle jail the same day.

• A 28-year-old Bethalton, Illinois man was arrested May 3 in the 200 block of West SH 199 and charged with public intoxication. He was put on a payment plan for the fine and released to a responsible party.

• Jeremy B. Frantz, 26, of Fort Worth, was arrested May

4 in the 600 block of Jacksboro Highway and charged with possession of a controlled substance, as well as possession of marijuana less than two ounces.

Frantz posted $1,000 bond and was released from the Azle jail the same day.

James Lowell Rice

• James Lowell Rice, 39, of Fort Worth, was arrested May 8 in the 300 block of Shady Lane and charged with assault causing bodily injury to a family member. He was held in the Tarrant County jail in lieu of $2,500 bond on that charge plus $1,155 in fines for outstanding Lake Worth PD warrants.

• Sandra J. Graves, 46, of Azle, was arrested May 14 in the 1100 block of Boyd Road and charged with DWI following a minor accident. Graves posted $3,500 bond and was released from the Azle jail Azle police also arrested 14 individuals who were the subjects of outstanding warrants issued by various law enforcement agencies during the same period.

One citation was issued for possession of drug paraphernalia, as well.

Efforts to find elderly man lauded by carla noah stutsman Lakeside Police Officer Jennifer Bond was honored with the Police Meritorious Service Award during the May 14 council meeting.

According to Lakeside Chief of Police Lee Pitts, Bond responded to a call Feb. 14 reporting that a Mr. White – an 89-year-old man who suffered from Alzheimer’s, high blood pressure, and very poor hearing – had wandered from his home.

Officer Bond drove the area

in search of White, asking citizens to keep an eye out for the elderly gentleman.

As additional details were discovered, the search area focused on a wooded area north and northwest of White’s home.

Bond began a grid search of the woods on foot.

In treacherous terrain overgrown with brush and thorn patches, Bond located White after about 30 minutes, tangled in a thorn patch and hidden from view.

She was able to cut White free from the thorns and assist him in walking out of the woods to be reunited with his frantic wife.

“Officer Bond’s exemplary actions and determination to find Mr. White prevented a catastrophic event from occurring,” Pitts said in presenting the award.

“There is little doubt if Mr. White had not been found, he may not have survived the night.”

The sales tax break applies to ENERGY STAR qualified air conditioners priced at $6,000 or

less; refrigerators priced at $2,000 or less; ceiling fans; fluorescent light bulbs; dishwashers; dehumidifiers; and clothes washers.

Details are at http://comptroller.texas.gov/taxinfo/taxpubs/tx96_1331/.

Percentage of estimated annual energy and water savings for eligible products – excluding clothes dryers – are: • Central air conditioners – 15 • Room or window air conditioners – 15 • Refrigerators – 10 • Ceiling Fans – 60 • Compact fluorescent light bulbs – 80 • Clothes washers – 25, plus up to 40 in water savings • Dishwashers – 5, plus up to 15% in water savings • Dehumidifiers – 15

Goodbye Jane “Mrs. Greer” It is an honor to announce, but heartbreaking to hear, of the retirement of Mrs. Jane Greer, the beloved music teacher of Azle Elementary, “The Rock School”. Mrs. Greer is an integral part of the Rock Family. We will be sad to see her go, but will rejoice with her as she spends more time with her family.

Mrs. Greer was born in New Orleans, Louisiana. She attended the University of Louisiana at Monroe and earned her Bachelor of Music Education in 1972. She completed a Master of Music in Organ Performance in 1974. Even though Mrs. Greer spent many hours “playing school” she never planned on becoming a teacher. It was after 2 separate events that she changed her mind. First, she learned she would actually have to PRACTICE if she became a piano major. The second was wisdom from her father. Her dad suggested she have teaching to “fall back on” if she ever had to support herself. Here at Azle Elementary, we are glad those two things occurred and are thankful for her teaching career beginning in 1993 and her last 22 years teaching music to so many.

She met her husband, Tim, in college and they married in 1972.

They stayed in Monroe for 5 years after marrying, they then moved to Ft. Worth so Tim could attend Southwestern Seminary. She has 3 sons: Trey, Chris, and Andrew. Before her teaching career, Mrs. Greer raised her children, taught piano at home, and played the organ at church. Her sons all attended and graduated from Azle.

Since 1993, Mrs. Greer has enjoyed working with Principals Chelsea Holder, Darcy Simmons, Ro McKinney, and Erin Deel.

Mrs. Greer plans on spending time with Trey, his wife, and her 3 granddaughters in Tyler, TX, visiting her son Chris and wife in Costa Mesa, California, as well as Andrew who is Christian singer and songwriter. She looks forward to traveling the country back roads to get there. She is looking forward to improving her skills on the organ, reading, jigsaw puzzling, and stitching.

Congratulations Jane, what an honor it has been and what a legacy you are leaving behind. We will miss you, your smile and cheerful greetings each day. May your retirement lead you on new adventures, which will inspire many new chapters in your life.

Cleaning Up the Lake Party

Citizens who volunteered to pick up trash around the area during TRWD’s annual Eagle Mountain Area Lake Cleanup were treated to a picnic by the water featuring Miss Birdie’s balloon characters, face painters, and other exhibits, snow cones and – popular with boys of all ages – a catapult for launching (harmless) missiles.

The glamorous life of a newspaperperson

A

s a newspaperman, I now have held two jobs that were deemed the worst to have in a recent career analysis.

Journalist was the No. 1 sorriest job and firefighter was No. 9. (I’ve also been a photojournalist [No. 6], but that comes with being a small town newspaperperson.)

According to careercast.com, there’s nothing worse than being a journalist.

What do they know?! Just look at my last weekend and tell me this isn’t the dream of many a human: Saturday, May, 16, 9 a.m. – packed up car and headed to Austin for state track meet. Need oil. Stopped by to see grandchildren, bearing donuts.

10 – breakfast at Chick-Fil-A, eaten in the car.

11:15 – marvel at the debris caused by storm between Cleburne and Grandview.

12 – lined up a hotel off my new favorite app, Hotel Tonight; looks like a nice one!

1:30 p.m.– ate lunch at my No. 1 Mexican food place on earth, El Patio’s

in Austin, “family owned since 1954” and has the same chairs to prove it.

3 – check into hotel, which –yay! – is right next to a Pappadeaux’s.

3:10 – in hotel. This place smells weird. Clearly it is old, but the Bride is sure it’s more than that. Still, getting a last-minute hotel in Austin is like winning the lottery, so we decide we can handle it. Besides, it has HGTV, the Bride’s video crack. (“We only have a budget of $1.5 million and can’t find a house we like,” says every person on International Househunters.)

3:30 – change into exercise clothes and head toward Town Lake (now known as Lady Bird Lake) to run where we have exercised for almost four decades. But first...

4:45 – stopped by Darrell K. Royal – Texas Memorial Stadium to pick up media credentials. No problem.

5:15 – missed turn to get to lake running trails and have to double back but finally found a parking place.

5:30 – ready to run, making sure that the Bride and I meet back at the car, unlike last time when I missed her

clothes over sweaty running clothes.

Who will know? It’s a track meet.

6:35 – see a woman from another paper that I know, apologize for how I smell.

6:50 – photograph Springtown’s first gold medal winner since 1987.

But which hurdler is he? Hard to tell so I shoot madly.

7-10 – still at meet on hard metal bleachers. Split a $5 Chick-Fil-A sandwich.

10:10 – head back to hotel. Decide we’re too tired to go out to eat, so we snack on Cheez-Its and Vanilla Wafers in bed. Sorry Pappadeaux’s.

1 a.m. – Wake up. What is that smell in this room?!

4 a.m. – Mighty thunderstorm crashes into area.

8:30 a.m. – skip hotel breakfast and decide to head home in savage rain.

Massive traffic jam in Temple but take back roads and still make grandson’s first Ranger game, sitting down in Arlington at 1:57 for a 2:05 start.

Mark K. Campbell

and we were separated for half an hour because I turned the wrong way on the path.

5:32 – ugh! This might be too soon to be running after a full order of beef enchiladas from El Patio. Take another hit off the puffer.

5:40 – missed the turn to go alongside the Congress Street Bridge and end up on the actual bridge. Accidently photobomb some engagement photos. The way down by the bats is closed so I have to jog all the way to a hotel to find the trail entrance again.

6:00 – stopped for the essential photo with Stevie Ray Vaughan statue.

Surprised to see the Bride, who is only walking, coming up there too. (She didn’t miss any turns.)

6:15 – back at the car, sweating madly. The Bride is not happy that I’m getting in to the car in such a state.

6:20 – drive to the southside of the river to get a soft frozen yogurt cone from Sandy’s like we’ve done for almost 40 years. It’s fantastic.

6:30 – at the track facility. Amid curious looks (even for Austin) pull on work

present for Mrs. Clinton – the myriad scandals that she was and still is embrangled in have virtually disappeared off the radar screen due to world and local calamitous disasters.

The one scandal that befuddles the heck out of me and causes outrage from the American populace is completely moot.

Mrs. Clinton, who was the former secretary of state for the past six years, used her influence wittingly to sell ura-

nium to the Soviet Union in their foray to make an atomic bomb that has the potential now to destroy this country.

And, coupled that, Mrs. Clinton additionally gave approval as secretary of state for her husband – former president Bill Clinton – to make expensive speeches to foreign governments.

To think that this country executed an American couple (Julius and Ethel Rosenburg in 1953) for doing far less, disseminating blueprints of a bomb to

Russia for money.

Mrs. Clinton sold and gave away the actual ingredients (uranium) to make the bomb.

Why am I not surprised? Most Americans priority is American Idol, The Voice, and bellyaching about some rain that ruined their golf game in Azle.

ON YOUR MARK

Letters to the Editor Cross Timbers Ele. thankful for all appreciation efforts

tary Forces along with the other two branches of the Texas Military which are the Texas Army National Guard and the Texas Air National Guard.

The mission of the State Guard is to provide mission-ready military forces to assist state and local authorities in times of state emergencies and to conduct homeland security and community service activities under the umbrella of defense and support to civil authorities.

The TXSG functions as an organized state militia under Title 32 of U.S. Code and chapter 431 of the Texas Government Code.

The staff of Cross Timbers Elementary would like to express our sincere gratitude to the PTO, parents, and students.

We were very blessed with a wonderful Teacher Appreciation Week.

We appreciate the support of our students, parents, and PTO. The posters that were hung in the halls were so heartwarming.

Our stars on the red carpet were very thoughtful and the tribute to the office

staff as super heroes was amazing.

The kids enjoyed drawing chalk notes on the sidewalks too.

Thank you so much for all your time, effort and love that you poured into the Teacher Appreciation Week.

Sincerely, Cross Timbers Elementary Staff

Media aiding Clinton in covering up multiple scandals

Dear Editor: Must say, the old adage “Silence is golden” concerning Hillary Clinton's candidacy for president in answering questions, or sit down interviews with the news media is apropos.

This new hibernated tactic that Mrs. Clinton has employed is an inconvenient truth for her supporters.

May I borrow a ‘Tom Cruz’ movie A Few Good Men line: “You can't handle the truth” to these democratic lapdogs who would do somersaults for this woman if she had horns and a tail protruding from those sartorial pantsuits.

Local history-making WWI pilot training fields: Part I

R

esidents of the Fort Worth area may not realize that three pilot training fields existed in outlying areas of Tarrant County during World War I. One was located to the north in what is now Saginaw, one due south of downtown in present Everman, and the third field lay to the southwest in current Benbrook.

All three began because of an arrangement made in Washington, D. C. for Canadians to have a better climate in which to train pilots than the weather up north. At the time the agreement was made, the U.S. had not entered the conflict, which the world was calling the Great War. Canada's Mother Country, Great Britain, along with France, fought Kaiser Wilhelm of Germany and Austria-Hungary.

The Canadian military originally agreed to train 100 U.S. cadets in their country if a winter camp and airplanes were made available for their own men in the U.S. The U.S. War Department and the British War Office ap-

THE

proved the plan in June 1917.

The Royal Flying Corps later began training ten squadrons for the U.S. Signal Corps in Canada. The Americans would then finish up in the states. The Canadians chose the Fort Worth sites they wanted after looking in Florida and seven locations in Texas. The city of Fort Worth provided water, sewer, electricity and telephone connections free of charge. The city also built hard surfaced roads, graded streets, and provided railroad connections.

The Canadians named the three fields Camp Taliaferro; camp No. 1 was to the north in what later became Saginaw, No. 2 (later Everman), and No. 3 (Benbrook). Locals called the northern one Hicks because the land had been the Charles Hicks farm, and a railroad stop was Hicks Station. The name Taliaferro came from Lt. Walter R. Taliaferro, one of only 49 U.S. officers assigned to aviation training between 1908 and March 1914. Lt. Taliaferro died in an air accident in 1915.

I will tell some history of Taliaferro No. 1 this week, and then the two oth-

er fields with their personnel in the coming two weeks.

Five Canadian squadrons began arriving at Taliaferro No. 1 in early October 1917 and established an Aerial Gunnery School.

PAGES FROM They liked the WESTERN “vast open prairies” that ofHISTORY fered an unobview J’Nell L. Pate structed for miles. By mid-April 1918 when the Canadians left, the Americans were in the war.

They thus utilized the three, readymade training fields for themselves.

At Taliaferro (Hicks), where bombardment training took place, 20 concrete bombing sites had been constructed in the ground shaped somewhat like the German Fokker airplane.

Publisher Kim Ware

Editor Mark K. Campbell TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION BETTER NEWSPAPER CONTEST

AWARD WINNER 2014

These sites were buried a foot deep, with the top of the walls level with the ground. The Fokker-shaped concrete bomb sites were hollow inside and could be pumped full of water from a nearby windmill. They were a bit larger than an actual Fokker and had a 40-foot wingspan with a six and onehalf foot wide body.

Pilots flew over the target, strafed with their machine guns or dropped “pretend” bombs, cheering when the water-filled targets splashed. Major Theodore C. Macaulay, the U. S. commander, explained in a news article to citizens who kept calling the field “Hicks” that Lt. Taliaferro had been a friend of his, so call it “Taliaferro, pronounced Tolliver.”

The most historic event at Taliaferro Field happened after the war ended before the field closed. Late in Dec. 1918 Major Macaulay traveled to Rockwell Field in San Diego in an attempt at a round trip flight across the U.S. Unfortunately, bad weather and engine problems, including a forced landing in Lake Okeechobee in Florida, slowed

things down. He returned February 16 after completing the “first round trip across the United States” (Ft. Worth to San Diego, cross country to Florida, then back to Fort Worth). Macaulay knew he could do better, so he completed the same trip again April 12-18. He was in the air 44 hours and 15 minutes.

Actually the very first AROUND THE WORLD TRIP WITHOUT LANDING originated and ended in Fort Worth as well. The Lucky Lady II, a B-50 Superbomber, left Carswell AFB Feb. 26, 1949 and returned March 2 after 23,452 miles in 94 hours and one minute, being refueled in the air. Hooray for Fort Worth pilots and crews of both history-making flights from Fort Worth!

Next week's column will be about Barron Field, the name the Americans gave Taliaferro No. 2, and will feature its commander who left a lasting legacy as well.

Agreement on state budget evades House, Senate

J

has not achieved its required, primary task — final passage of a state budget — one House STATE bill and 28 SenCAPITAL bills, HIGHLIGHTS ate as of May 15, Ed Sterling had managed to survive the bicameral squeeze chute and earn the governor’s signature.

That lone House bill was HB 181 by primary author Rep. Cecil Bell, R-Magnolia, and joint author Rep. Matt Krause, R-Fort Worth. The bill, which took effect May 13, intends to Governor signs 29 bills Even though the Legislature reduce printing costs and the bers are: Finance Committee Chair Jane Nelson, R-Flower Mound; Juan “Chuy” Hinojosa, D-McAllen; Joan Huffman, RHouston; Lois Kolkhorst, RBrenham; and Charles Schwertner, R-Georgetown.

As reported repeatedly since March, the main obstacle toward agreement on a budget is the two bodies’ disagreement over how to cut state taxes. The Senate voted to cut ad valorem taxes while the House voted to cut the state sales tax from 6.25 percent to 5.95 percent. Both bodies want to cut the business franchise tax, which would please Gov. Greg Abbott, who made that task one of several stated priorities for the Legislature to accomplish. If the Legislature is unable to adopt budget in the regular session, the governor may call a special session.

une 1 is the last day of the 84th Regular Session of the Texas Legislature. From now until then is all the time that remains for the House and Senate to decide if they’re going to agree on a 2016-2017 state budget.

Both chambers could be ordered to meet around the clock until an agreed-upon budget is passed, if House Speaker Joe Straus and/or Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick deem it necessary or worthwhile. Any proposed agreement would originate in a House Bill 1 conference committee composed of five House members and five Senate members. House members are: Appropriations Committee Chair John Otto, R-Dayton and Vice Chair Sylvester Turner, D-Houston; Trent Ashby, R-Lufkin; Sarah Davis, RHouston; and Larry Gonzales, R-Round Rock.

Here are three of this session’s 28 successful Senate bills, beginning with SB 125 by Sen. Kel Seliger, R-Amarillo, and sponsored in the House by Rep. Dan Huberty, R-Houston.

The legislation, effective Sept.

1, amends the Family Code to require the Department of Family and Protective Services to conduct a developmentally appropriate assessment 45 days after a child enters conservatorship. The assessment must include a screening for trauma and interviews with individuals who have knowledge of the child’s needs.

SB 293 by Senate Finance Chair Nelson and sponsored in the House by Rep. Jason Isaac, R-Dripping Springs. The legislation, which took effect April 8, amends state statutes to expand the definition of “site

selection organization” for purposes of selecting a site in Texas for certain events that are eligible to receive funding from the major events trust fund, to include ESPN or an affiliate, NASCAR and the Ultimate Fighting Championship.

SB 835 by Sen. Van Taylor, R-Plano, addresses those who make fraudulent claims of military service. The legislation, effective Sept. 1, amends the Penal Code to increase the penalty for the offense of fraudulent or fictitious military record from a Class C misdemeanor to a Class B misdemeanor. A Class B misdemeanor is punishable by a fine of not more than $2,000, confinement in jail for a term not to exceed 180 days, or both.

ucation Committee Chair Jimmie Don Aycock, R-Killeen, pulled down his school finance reform bill when it became clear that opposition to it would drag on long enough to prevent consideration of a mountain of other bills.

“Like many of you — I have other bills on this calendar — bills that are important. We could kill all day with this bill, easily,” Aycock said.

In its 24 pages, HB 1759 addresses a range of issues, with language amending laws governing equalization of wealth level of school districts, taxation and funding formulas, transportation allotments, academic acceptability standards and consequences, and more.

Ladies reel in Birdville, AHS advances by mark k. campbell Cardiac Lady Hornets?

Once again, Azle (29-4) lost the opening contest of a threegame series then rallied back to win.

AHS faced talented Birdville and fell in the opener 2-0 despite a 1-hitter by Lady Hornet hurler Makenzi Harris.

Both Lady Hawk runs were unearned and Harris struck out 9 batters.

Azle managed just three hits, singles by Bailee Carter, Valarie Matlock, and Raelyn Temple.

AHS Coach Tracy Tadlock knew Birdville would be tough.

“Birdville has a very strong program. They had good pitching, a formidable offense,” he said.

Game two became – as with the Lady Hornets’ Burleson Centennial series – win or die.

Azle won, but it was far from a cake walk; in fact, it was a Logan Graham delivered the big hit in a crucial game nail-biter. three to help Azle advance. Photo courtesy Richard Spraggens Birdville scored an unearned

And that BHS lead stood all the way until the bottom of the sixth inning. There, Azle had just six outs left or AHS faced elimination.

That didn’t happen.

While Azle had squandered chances to score earlier – the Lady Hornets left the bases loaded in the third inning – a big blast changed things quickly.

Carter smashed a home run to tie the game. And AHS took advantage of the momentum.

The game-deciding run came later in the sixth when Harris singled home Katelyn Harris.

The Lady Hawks made it exciting by getting its leadoff runner on in the seventh inning.

But Bradley slammed the door shut, getting the 2-1 victory with a 3-hitter and striking out 6.

That set up a deciding game at Kennedale – rainy, stormy weather kept moving the teams around area diamonds.

However, the Lady Hawks tied the score in what would be their last gasp in the next at bat.

Tied at 3 and entering the bottom of the fourth, AHS put up another 3-spot to put the game away.

The deciding run came home when Sammi Tittle was hit by a pitch. Two more tallies came across on a 2-run huge single

That’s all Makenzi Harris needed; BHS did not score again and Azle took the regional quarterfinals game 6-3.

Coach Tadlock said, “We were very fortunate to win.

They did not make an error.

“Our pitchers threw well throughout and we finally mustered enough offense.”

He said El Paso Hanks, the regional semifinals foe, has a strong offense and will be a “tough test” requiring good pitching and defense.

Scarbro Signs

Wrestlers vie in state tournament Several are All-American

Reigning state wrestling champion Justin Scarbro signs to continue his career with McKendree University in Lebanon, Illinois. With him are parents Lisa and Jason Scarbro.

Azle High School wrestling coach Chris Allen said the freestyle/Greco-Roman season ended with several Azle athletes shining.

Two girls – Ruby Ariosa and Lauren Dale – placed second and third, respectively, to earn berths on Team Texas’ national team that will compete in Fargo, North Dakota.

The duo will vie in the Junior division while fellow Lady Hornet Hail Davis won the Cadet division and punched her ticket, too.

A top 8 finish at the Body Bar Women’s Nationals meant an All-American honor.

Harley Stringer took fifth and is an All-American in the Youth division.

Davis finished seventh to earn Cadet level All-American honors.

Montana Stewart took eighth

to become a Junior All-American; she competed against mostly college-aged females up to age 20, Allen recalled.

Team Texas, coached by AHS’ Monica Allen, had three girls qualify for the world teams with a gold and two silvers.

In boys competition, Trevor Russell claimed a berth on the national dual’s team in the Schoolboy age group; he will represent Team Texas in Indianapolis, Indiana in June.

Hornet Cutter Cox reached the final 6 but was eliminated in a fourth place match.

Coach Chris Allen said, “It was a good freestyle season with a lot of kids gaining experience and competition and – for some – even state and national events this summer that will help make them that much better.”

Movie Man

Azle News Wednesday, May 20, 2015

Fourth Mad Max movie runs out of gas late You don’t see movies like this much anymore.

Aside from daring non-CGI action sequences – a lot of them – there are some shocking, startling, and downright squeamishly freakish scenes and visions in Mad Max: Fury Road – the sort of sequences you seldom see in a major release these days.

About the movie Director George Miller birthed the original Max who was played by Mel Gibson in 1979. (The Movie Man remembers chuckling when seeing a TV trailer for Mad Max where the narrator seriously intoned “starring Mel Gibson.” In America, Gibson was a complete unknown yet here he was being boldly lauded. [He wasn’t too famous in Australia, either. All that would change soon, however.])

Miller, who doesn’t direct often, pulled off the feat of making a sequel better than its original with The Road Warrior in 1981. That was followed by the lesser – according to many – Mad Max Beyond Thunderdome which isn’t as appreciated for its’80 kitsch yet. (And too many forget that groovy Tina Turner theme song “We Don’t Need Another Hero” which made it all the way to No. 2 on the Top 40 in 1985. And folks also forget that a second single spun off that soundtrack – movies had lots of popular music crossovers in those days – “One of the Living” another Turner hit that rose to No. 15.)

While it appeared the Max well had run dry, Miller always wanted to make another one. It got mired for years for a number of reasons – including location woes caused by a years-long drought – and Miller moved on to other things.

Anyway, after three Maxes, this fourth one is a full-tilt, noholds-barred freak show; everything loved from the originals – mainly the first two – is amped up through the roof.

The plot The world is almost destroyed and people are diseased and miserable. Because he has access to water, Immortan Joe (Hugh Keays-Byrne) rules over his kingdom. His roving motorized hordes discover a “universal donor” in Max (Tom Hardy) – blood’s a highly valuable commodity. Max is imprisoned, his blood helping cure diseases, including the one affecting Nux (Nicholas Hoult) who worships Joe. The ruler sends Imperator Furiosa (Charlize Theron) and a crew to fetch gas. But she has secretly stashed five of Joe’s enslaved brides – pregnant women provide nutritious milk to the royalty – in her wild big-rig. Then she goes rogue, veering off course to head to her “green” childhood home, where she lived before being captured and stolen away to Joe’s kingdom.

That means heading out through territory owned by rival gangs. And she stumbles across an angry Max, his face mostly encased in a steel mask.

They become uneasy allies.

The duo fights off deadly attackers as well as Joe’s minions and the seemingly invincible Nux who is sure his wild-eyed devotion will earn him a place in Joe’s proclaimed after-life

Flight of heroes

Local program helps WWII vets journey to D.C. memorials

BY MISTY SHAW As Memorial Day approaches, we pause to honor those who made the ultimate sacrifice in military service to our country.

Many surviving veterans will mark the occasion by visiting a local memorial or traveling to the national monuments in Washington, D.C. But for some of our most venerable veterans, who served during World War II, such a trip may not seem feasible.

Thank goodness for Honor Flight DFW, a volunteer organization dedicated to helping local WWII veterans travel to Washington, D.C. to visit their memorial.

“Get ‘em there” “I’m on a mission to get as many of these vets as possible on this trip before they are unable to travel,” said fellow veteran Paul Swartz, an active volunteer with Honor Flight DFW. The non-profit group helps locate remaining WWII veterans in the area who are fit enough to take an all-expensespaid trip to the capitol, where they visit eight national memorials over the course of two days.

A volunteer team of guardians and medical professionals escort the veterans on the trip, which Swartz said is a “massive undertaking” at a cost of $40,000 per flight.

World War II veterans understandably get emotional when visiting Washington, D.C. memorials during an Honor Flight DFW trip.

Photo courtesy Honor Flight DFW “We’re totally devoted to one thing and that’s getting these veterans on these trips,” Swartz said.

“They pay for nothing -- we tell them to leave their money at home because it’s no good in Washington.”

Honor Flight DFW -- one of 133 similar organizations nationwide -- has facilitated 24 trips since 2008,

flying 40 veterans each time.

The next flight of heroes will depart from Love Field on June 12.

The trip of a lifetime For many of the WWII veterans – whose remaining numbers shrink by a nationwide average of 900 individuals daily – the Honor Flight excursion is the trip of a lifetime.

“Nearly all of them have never seen their memorial, nor would they ever have the opportunity to see their memorial without this trip,” Swartz said.

• Richard Dale Horton, 59, of Pelican Bay, indicted on a charge of engaging in organized criminal activity, a firstdegree felony.

• Ellen Jean Langley, 35, of Springtown, indicted for engaging in organized criminal

activity, a first degree-felony.
