Splishin’ and Splashin’ SplashPad opening set for Saturday, May 24 BY NATALIE GENTRY The Saturday many Springtown area kids have been waiting for is fast approaching – the day they can fi nally enjoy a wet and wild time in Springtown’s new SplashPad. The shiny new facility opens at 10 a.m., Saturday, May 24. Future facility hours are Monday through Saturday from 10 a.m.-6 p.m. and Sunday 1 p.m.-6 p.m. Made to last The six-inch-thick concrete SplashPad is covered in a rubberized “Tough Coat” in shades of watery blue with bursts of red throughout. Fixed to the slab are 34 ground spray nozzles and 12 water elements including water cannons, palm tree and mushroom shaped fountains, a rainbow misting arch, and the tower-

ing Springtown water bucket. All of the stainless steel elements are powder coated in vibrant colors and include heavy rubber toe guard to prevent stubbed digits. Caps are installed over the ground sprays so they can be fi tted with new elements as the park expands. All told, the SplashPad provides 46 ways for kids to drench themselves in two circular bays. The design of the pad divides the water elements into sections geared toward different age groups. The smaller circle is confi gured for toddlers and children wanting a gentler SplashPad experience. The larger bay is for older kids looking for varied and exciting water play. The SplashPad is located by the WalPLEASE SEE SPLASHPAD, PAGE 2A.

Hwy. 199 motorcycle mishap claims man Johnson indicted now on federal hate crime charges

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN One man was killed around 9:30 a.m. Wednesday morning, May 21, in an accident involving a motorcycle in the 1600 block of Northwest Parkway (also called SH 199) in front of Allsup’s Convenience Store. According to Trooper Sgt. Lonny Haschel of the Texas Department of Public Safety (DPS), the man’s identity was unknown as of press time the same afternoon. Haschel said a man driving a southbound 1996 Honda Accord had stopped at the stop sign on Ashwood Street. The man intended to cross the westbound lanes of SH 199 into the crossover before heading east into Azle.

The man told DPS troopers at the scene he saw three motorcycles westbound on SH 199 and waited for them all to pass before he pulled out to cross the westbound lanes. But there were four motorcycles. The fourth bike, a 2001 Harley Davidson, collided with the driver’s door of the Honda. Its rider was thrown from the bike and the victim landed on the pavement in the crossover. The unidentifi ed man was pronounced deceased at the scene. The three other riders, as well as the driver of the Honda, were visibly shaken on the roadside. The accident remained under investigation at press time.

BY NATALIE GENTRY Brice Johnson, 19, of Springtown was accused of severely beating a gay man last September and has now been indicted on federal hate crime charges. A federal grand jury returned a two-count indictment against Johnson on May 14 for charges of kidnapping and “willfully causing bodily injury to a person because of the actual or perceived sexual orientation of that person,” according to a news release from the U.S. attorney’s office. The indictment was returned in federal court in Fort Worth. Prosecutors said the case began on Sept. 2, 2013, when Aaron Keahey, a gay man, met Johnson via the cell phone social application MeetMe.com. Although Johnson’s profi le page said he was not gay, Johnson told Keahey “he was interested in engaging in sexual activity” and they arranged to meet. According to the press release, when Keahey arrived at Johnson’s house, Johnson “severely beat him” and put Brice Johnson him in the trunk of his own car. When other individuals warned Johnson to take Keahey to a hospital or they would call police, Johnson drove Keahey to an emergency medical services station in Springtown.

Keahey was hospitalized for the following 10 days at Harris Methodist Hospital in Fort Worth for multiple skull and facial fractures. Johnson eventually told federal authorities he was playing a prank on Keahey because of his sexual orientation and that it was a “joke that went too far and wrong. “The investigation revealed that on the night of the incident, Johnson saved [Keahey’s] cell phone number using a gay slur as a contact name,” the press release reads. “Johnson later stated that he was playing a prank on [Keahey] because of [Keahey’s] sexual orientation, again using a gay slur when referring to [Keahey.] According to the affi davit, Keahey said that he had no physical contact with Johnson prior to the attack. The investigation is being conducted by the FBI, the Springtown Police Department, and the Parker County Sheriff’s Office. The case is being prosecuted by Assistant U.S. Attorney Cara Foos Pierce and Trial Attorney Saeed Mody of the Civil Rights Division. An indictment merely establishes probable cause and Johnson is presumed innocent unless proven guilty. If convicted, Johnson faces a maximum statutory sentence of life in prison and a $250,000 fine.

An emphasis was also placed on physical fitness. The capstone event of boot camp is “Battle Stations.” This exercise gives recruits the skills and confidence they need to succeed in the fleet. “Battle Stations” is designed to galvanize the basic warrior attributes of sacrifice, dedication, teamwork and endurance in each recruit through the practical application of basic Navy skills and the core values of Honor, Courage and Commitment. Its distinctly “Navy” flavor was designed to take into account what it means to be a Sailor.

A girl called Zeppelin? Someone’s dazed and confused

omewhere out there in America, at least five young girls are now named Shiny. And Icy. And Skylit. And Camaro. And Zeppelin. It takes a whole lotta love to name a kid Zeppelin. This info comes from the annual most popular baby names list issued by the Social Security Office. Unusual boys names abound, too. Like Anchor. And Vice. And Subaru. And Furious.

Now, I’ll make full disclosure and giving their kids weird names.

note that my other daughter (Hayley – we were way ahead of the Hayley craze of the late-1980’s, early ‘90’s) gave her three children names that do not show up in the top 1,000 on the Social Security list: Link, Jubilee, and Oz. Imagine again that it’s 2020. You’re in the mall. (I assume there will still be malls then despite dire predictions otherwise; where else will be get our pretzels?) If you shout at “Noah” to get away from the Victoria’s Secret display, about 20 kids will take off running because that was the most popular name on the boys list last year. However, if you blurt out “Rambo,” only a couple of little dudes will scur-

ry away. Names go through popularity waves. Remember when you couldn’t swing a baby rattle without hitting a Jennifer? Schools are thick with Emmas right now. Until Noah broke the boys name streak this year, the world was under threat of being entirely populated by Jacobs. The last 14 years, Jacob was No. 1. Either is better than the five boys named Alyssa. That’s enough to make a kid go all Furious Rambo on their parents. Mark K.

Anthony Bledsoe – Part 2: Pioneer landowner, surveyor

n 1760 Anthony Bledsoe married Mary Ramsey, of Augusta County, and soon afterwards removed to his new home on the frontier. The exact location of his settlement is in doubt. “He located 700 acres of land on the waters of the Holston River, where he built his fort, about thirty miles east from Long Island, on the Fort Chiswell road, near the line of Virginia. During the pioneer period all the settlers located contiguous to the larger water courses, and it is probable that Anthony Bledsoe was not an exception to that rule. “In 1776, when the Legislature of Virginia passed a law with reference to the distribution of salt among the settlements of the southwestern frontier, commissioners were appointed to take a list of the tithables. Among others we find William Edmiston was appointed to do this work from Stalnacker's to Black's Fort, which was located where Abingdon now

is, on the south fork of Wolf Creek. James Montgomery was appointed to the work from Black's Fort to Major Bledsoe's. John Anderson's duties extended from Major Bledsoe's as low down as there were settlers. It is not probable that the duties of any of these assessors required them to cross the mountain ridges, but, instead, that they followed the courses of the streams where the settlements were. “Thus Edmiston's territory extended from Abingdon down Wolf Creek to Black's Fort, probably the place where that stream empties its waters into South Fork of Holston. From there James Montgomery was assigned to do the work down the Holston to Major Bledsoe’s, which was on the Virginia line, about the mouth of Spring Creek, some ten miles east from the present town of Bristol. Haywood says that Colonel Bledsoe extended the line of the State as far west as Beaver Creek, (at Bristol). “In the fall of 1781 Colonel An-

thony Bledsoe removed with his family to what is now Sumner County, Tennessee, and there, two miles north from Bledsoe's Lick, located 6,280 acres of land, HISTORICAL giving to the HIGHLIGHTS place the name “Greenfield.” Laurie Moseley The tract has been divided into a number of splendid farms. Not one acre of it belongs to any member of the family of the original owner. “Next to James Robertson, Colonel Bledsoe was the most valuable member of the Cumberland settlement. He was a man of education, of cool courage, sound judgment and of wide experience in public affairs, having held various civil and military

positions in the older settlements. His relations with John Sevier, Governor Caswell and other prominent men, were of an intimate character. For many years he was the bosom friend and trusted counselor of James Robertson, who after Bledsoe's arrival in the Cumberland country, acted in no affair of importance without his advice and cooperation. In the event of Robertson's death, he was probably the only man who could have brought the settlements safely out of the ordeal through which they were passing. “On October 6, 1783, the County Court of Davidson County, was instituted. Anthony Bledsoe, Daniel Smith, James Robertson, Isaac Bledsoe, Samuel Barton, Thomas Mulloy, Francis Prince and Isaac Lindsey constituted the court. “Anthony Bledsoe was elected Colonel of the Davidson County Militia. In 1782 Anthony Bledsoe, Isaac Shelby and Absalom Tatum were appointed commissioners to select and

layoff a tract or tracts of land sufficient to meet the grants which North Carolina had made to the officers and soldiers of the Revolutionary War. “Early in 1783 these commissioners met at Nashborough, and entered upon their duties. The line which they ran was styled the “Commissioners line.” It began at a point near where Elk River crosses the southern boundary, and which has since been called “Latitude Hill.” The commission laid off, near Columbia, a tract of 25,000 acres, for General Nathanie1 Greene, which had been granted by North Carolina, as a mark of the high sense of his extraordinary services in the war of the revolution. The commission was accompanied by a guard of one hundred men, each of whom received grants of land for his services.”

Speaker wants highway fund for transportation only

ouse Speaker Joe Straus on May 14 said the Texas House of Representatives would propose a budget next year that uses all of the money in the state highway fund for transportation instead of sending chunks of it to other state agencies. Taxes and fees such as the gas tax and fees on drivers’ licenses go into the state highway fund to pay for transportation, but for almost 80 years, Straus explained, some of that money has helped fund agencies that are not directly related to transportation. Using the state highway fund exclusively for transportation would increase funding for roads by about $1.3 billion over two years, Straus, R-San Antonio, added. “This approach will make the state budget even more straightforward, just as taxpayers expect. It will also provide needed transportation revenue

lated economic costs. In 2013, there were 943 fatalities and 5,383 serious injuries in Texas resulting from crashes in which drivers or passengers were not wearing seatbelts. Wearing the restraint increases the chances of surviving a serious crash by 45 percent. In pickup trucks, that number jumps to 60 percent as those vehicles are more likely than cars to roll over in a crash. In rollover crashes, seatbelts help keep occupants from being ejected. Texas law requires everyone in a vehicle to be buckled up, including back seat passengers. Learn more about “Click It or Ticket” by visiting texasclickitorticket.com.

Sales tax holiday is set State Comptroller Susan Combs on May 12 announced the May 24 through May 26 sales tax holiday for certain energy efficient household appliances. The annual state sales tax holiday 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. Clothes dryers do not qualify. “Shoppers can save money up front by not having to pay sales tax when buying appliances during the holiday weekend and the energy efficient products can help reduce utility bill costs,” Combs said.

“Whether you’re the driver or a passenger, everyone in the vehicle is required by law to wear a seatbelt for every trip. The cost of not using one just isn’t worth it.” The “Click It or Ticket” campaign is credited with motivating millions of motorists to always use their seat belts. Only 76 percent of Texans used seatbelts when the campaign began in 2002. Today, 9 out of 10 Texans buckle up. The National Highway Traffic Safety estimates that since its inception, the “Click It or Ticket” campaign in Texas has resulted in 3,962 fewer traffic fatalities while preventing 66,823 serious injuries and saving more than $15 billion in re-

Godzilla rampages through generational childhoods Who doesn’t like Godzilla? Not many, judging from the fact that the groovy Japanese monster is 60 years old, has been in 40 movies, and this latest cinematic rendition of the creature raked in $93 million over the weekend. Godzilla is still cool. About the film Godzilla fi rst rose from the radioactive briny deep in 1954 in the midst of the Cold War when everyone everywhere was sure the atom bomb was about to destroy mankind. The prehistoric behemoth stomped ashore less than a decade after the devastating bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki to end WWII. Japanese moviegoers could relate to their cities being demolished; an allegory was born. The original movie was called Gojira. It was a monstrous success. Preparing for an American release, Toho Studios shoehorned in an American actor, Raymond Burr who would go on to play Perry Mason on TV. The plot was rejiggered into a pseudo-documentary and was called Godzilla, King of Monsters! Godzilla was quite the rampaging critter, but it didn’t really unleash the giant mauradering monster series, the “big bug” era that dominated the mid- to late50’s. In 1953, The Beast from 20,000 Fathoms, an awakened reptilian/dinosaur monstrosity, stomped around much of the American East Coast. However, it was Godzilla that struck the international nerve. Soon, a franchise was born. Eventually, the humongous colossus went from destroying cities to saving mankind from a slew of other gigantic beasties. Decades of “rubber-suited monsters” battling (including Mothra and Rodan) eventually evolved into camp territory. (However, the most terrifying dream the Movie Man ever had – a quarter of century old now but still disturbingly vivid

Mr. Tidwell goes to Washington Parker County veteran takes Honor Flight to war memorial By Natalie GeNtry Azle’s Harlan Tidwell experienced the trip of a lifetime last month when he and 25 other Fort Worth area World War II, Korean, and Vietnam era veterans went on Honor Flight Fort Worth to visit the WWII Memorial and other monuments in Washington D.C.

“He’s a veteran of the British Army, and I know he enjoyed the trip, too.” Tidwell said The journey began at 4:30 a.m. with an orientation at Dallas-Fort Worth Airport. As the veterans boarded the plane a small crowd was gathered to see them off. The captain of American Airlines Flight 127 announced that Honor Flight Fort Worth was on board and honored the veterans. A larger crowd was waiting for the vets when they landed at Reagan National Airport in Washington D.C. “One of the most touching part of the trip was the people who greet us and waving flags and shaking our hands,” Tidwell said. “And when we got back to DFW they had [the Irving Pipe and Drum] band waiting for us. “They waited an extra hour for us because the weather delayed the flight.” he continued. In Washington, the first stop for the group was the WWII memorial. The seasoned veterans battled unsentimental weather as they disembarked the tour bus. The massive memorial has a fountain in the center and large pillars surrounding it. There is a pillar for every state in the nation. “The mall at the WWII meHarlan tidwell and his son-in-law Peter robey stand in front the texas pillar at the WWii memorial.

At the prompting of his wife Eileen, Tidwell applied to go on the honor flight and was accepted to go on the trip held on April 29.

said. “The Korean Memorial depicted a platoon of soldiers on patrol,” Tidwell said. “The statues were fantastic. Most people don’t realize how large these memorials are.” Due to the inclement weather the groups could not go to Arlington Cemetery; instead they traveled to the Capitol. “I wish we could have seen the changing of the guard at Arlington, “he said, “But we couldn’t, so we went up to the Capitol and were able to walk around. “The first time I ever saw the Capitol was from the window of an airplane in 1953 as I was flying out to Europe,” Tidwell said. He was finally able to visit the building 61 years later. Before the group returned to the airport, it stopped at the Air Force Memorial. “It was amazing,” Tidwell said. “It is three stainless steel spires that look like jets shooting up and out in a star-burst [flight maneuver].” The Honor Flight group then headed back to the airport. Tidwell also said the volunteers who are connected with Honor Flight Fort worth are to be commended. “Everything was really organized.” he said. “These people deserve all the thanks we can give them.”

About Honor Flight Congress authorized the building of the WWII Memorial in 1993, in honor of the 16 million men and women who served the nation during the war. It was completed in 2004. Shortly after the memorial was completed, Earl Morse – a physician assistant and retired Air Force captain who worked at a small Veterans Affairs clinic in Springfield, Ohio – asked the veterans he helped if they would ever travel to D.C. to see “their” memorial. Most said they wanted to, but feared they would never see it because of their health, financial challenges, or both. Morse was determined to find a way to get these veterans to Washington to see their memorial. A private pilot, he offered one veteran a free flight to Washington. The man tearfully accepted the offer. The next week, Morse offered to take another veteran and the reaction was the same. In January 2005, Morse spoke to 150 members of the aeronautics club to which he belonged and outlined his dream of a program to fly veterans to their memorial. After Morse spoke, 11 pilots who had never met his patients stepped up to volunteer, and Honor Flight was born. From these humble beginnings, Honor Flight has ex-

panded into a national network that essentially goes non-stop. The program accepts applications on a first come, first serve basis, but as of now preference is given to WWII and terminally ill veterans. Korean and Vietnam veterans may also apply. There are approximately 120 Honor Flights in different parts of the United States. All in all, more than 100,000 veterans have participated in the program. How to apply A veteran application for an Honor Flight trip may be obtained by contacting Honor Flight Fort Worth at www. honorflightfortworth.org or email honorflightfortworth@ gmail.com “A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” ~Joseph Campbell

Investigators recover stolen property Parker County Sheriff’s investigators recovered several vehicles and tools leading to charges for four suspects in a recent theft case. The original offense report was filed May 8, when the complainant told deputies his personal vehicle and three company vehicles had been stolen, along with a trailer from a business located in the 6300 block of Interstate 20 in Weatherford. The trucks contained thousands of dollars’ worth of tools at the time of the thefts. Two additional work trucks left on the premises had been damaged with shattered windshields, damaged tires, and severed battery cables. Earlier this week, deputies discovered one of the stolen trucks abandoned on the side of the road at the intersection of Hilltop Terrace and Mini Ranch Road in Weatherford, and another vehicle left at a hotel off Interstate 20. The business owner reported a disgruntled ex-employee – who had been fired just days prior to the offenses – as a possible suspect. A third truck was discovered abandoned in Hudson Oaks at a convenience store. Video surveillance showed two men entering the parking lot in separate trucks. One male exited the stolen truck, leaving it in the parking lot as he left the convenience store with the other male driver. The video showed both men entering the stolen truck and taking items from it before they departed. Tarrant County deputies later observed another suspect changing the license plates from another one of the stolen trucks. The suspect – identified as Lacey Gregg, 44 – told Parker County Sheriff’s investigators

U L B

that he was purchasing the truck for cash and methamphetamine. Sheriff’s investigators also discovered two additional suspects had been pawning items which had been reported stolen from churches in Arlington and Parker County. Other stolen items were placed in a storage building by the suspects. Sheriff’s investigators recovered the majority of the items stolen from the churches, including music and electronic equipment. The suspects involved in the theft cases were identified as Russell Scott Freeman, 27, of Azle; Dennis Glen Brooks, 44, of Lake Worth; Lacy Elaine Lemmings, 30, of Fort Worth; and Lacey Boyd Gregg, 44, of Weatherford. Parker County Fugitive Apprehension Strike Team members located Freeman, Lemmings and Brooks, and then booked the suspects into the Parker County Jail. Freeman was charged with theft of property and a previous warrant

for assault causing bodily injury. He was released Thursday on a $27,500 bond. Lemmings was charged with theft of property. As of Monday, she remained incarcerated on a $25,000 Russell Scott bond. Freeman Brooks was Photos Courtesy of the Parker County Jail charged with theft of property and warrants for violating a promise to appear, speeding, and a parole violation, which a no bond was placed. As of May 19, Brooks remained incarcerated at the Parker County Jail. Lacey Boyd Gregg Gregg was Photo Courtesy of the Tarrant County Jail charged with theft of property. He was booked into the Mansfield Jail by Tarrant County Sheriff’s deputies. “Our Criminal Investigations Division investigators and F.A.S.T. members did a wonderful job in following through Lacy Elaine with the investigaLemmings tion until all suspects connected in this case were apprehended,” said Parker County Sheriff Larry Fowler. The case will routinely be filed with the Parker County District Attorney’s Office for consideration Dennis Glen Brooks of prosecution.

Non-pesticide termite treatment now available in Texas

Developed over years of Texas A&M testing, Polyguard Products, of Ennis, Texas introduces TERM Particle Barrier, the first and only Texas termite treatment not classified as a pesticide. EPA classifies the TERM Particle Barrier as a “device”. The concept is simple - quartz particles are carefully sorted and sized to an exact combination. Particles are too large for termites to move, and too small for them to crawl between. The particle barrier simply blocks entry, causing termites to forage elsewhere for food. TERM Particle Barrier can be installed by Polyguard authorized pest management professionals on the outside perimeter of existing or new homes and schools, as well as in bath traps and wherever plumbing penetrations come through the slab. No building should be built without this particle barrier, as it blocks most places where termites enter structures. TERM Particle Barrier should dramatically reduce the need for pesticides. EPA Establishment # 89537-TX-1 For more information, visit: www.ParticleBarrier.com Call Don Stetler (281.217.2965) or Polyguard (214.515.5000)
