Juvenile sustains gunshot wound by carla noah stutsman Law enforcement and first responders closed the roadway on FM 730 North in Briar Tuesday afternoon, July 1, so an Air Evac Lifeteam air ambulance could pick up a juvenile male who sustained a gunshot to the abdomen.

A spokesperson for the Wise County Sheriff’s Office said the case was in the very earliest stages of investigation about 2:30 p.m. that day.

“Right now, all I can tell you it appears we have two pre-teen to early teenaged males, and one of them is shot in the abdomen,” the spokesperson said.

Terry Grisham, spokesperson for the Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office, said his agency sent numerous units in

response to the incident, and were prepared to investigate if necessary.

The location where the incident was reported is virtually at the Tarrant/Wise County line.

Grisham said it appeared the shooting may have occurred in Wise County, but the individuals involved could have traveled into Tarrant County, where they called 9-1-1.

“It’s my understanding that this agency has changed its status to reflect that we are now assisting Wise County in their investigation,” Grisham said.

The Azle News will update its website and Facebook page with details as they become available.

News collects honors at state event The Azle News had its best showing in 10 years at the annual Texas Press Association Better Newspaper Contest June 21 in Corpus Christi.

The News tied for first in overall points, but ended up second thanks to the tie-breaker, losing the coveted Sweepstakes honor to the Pleasanton Express.

The Fredericksburg Standard-Radio Post joined the News and Express with 425 points.

The News collected most of its points via photography.

Two pictures taken by Carla Noah Stutsman – of a firefighter hosing down the remnants of a house explosion and a tense police standoff – took a first place plaque.

Photos taken by Editor Mark K. Campbell also earned a pair of plaques.

He won the Feature Photo category with pictures of an Easter egg hunt in Central Park and former AHS track Coach Don Ostermann standing in a pouring rainstorm during a race.

Campbell also won the Sports Photo division with shots of Lady Hornet Sarah Hall pole vaulting and a girls’ soccer collision.

The News picked up points in other categories, too.

Stutsman finished second in

CARP-e Diem

News Writing and the News was third in Advertising.

Finally, the special “Football Retrospective” that ran last August took third place in its category.

Of the News’ performance, Campbell said, “The awards reflect our team effort here. Everyone is vital to our success at covering Azle and it’s gratifying to have our peers acknowledge our efforts.”

In the competition, 159 Texas papers submitted 1,566 entries that were judged by the New Mexico Press Association.

All entries came from papers published in 2013.

These two photos taken by Carla Noah Stutsman – a house explosion aftermath above and a police standoff right – took top honors for the News at the annual Texas Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest in Corpus Christi June 21.

Azle Minor Care open now

Floating Exit Only

Clinic offers same-day, weekend care for routine health needs Azle Minor Care is now open in its new location and ready to care for residents of Azle and surrounding communities.

Now located in the medical office building at Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle, the clinic is designed to be an additional after-hours resource for patients to be treated for a variety of conditions that range from minor lacerations to flu-like symptoms.

Clinicians are also qualified to perform school physicals.

Staffed and operated by Texas Health Physicians Group, Azle Minor Care is open Friday through Monday from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. No appointment is necessary.

“Many patients have medical conditions that require immediate attention and yet are not severe enough for an emergency room visit,” said Valarie Gilbert, R.N., chief nursing officer at Texas Health Azle.

“The clinic is a resource for convenient care when patients can’t get in or cannot wait for a scheduled appointment to see a primary care physician.”

Currently, patients have to visit the emergency department at the hospital or travel to the Fort Worth area to be seen in a minor care clinic.

Patients visiting Azle Minor Care will be seen by a physician assistant and nurse practitioner in one of four treatment rooms in a location closer to home, regardless of their ability to pay.

After an assessment, these medical professionals are qualified to write simple prescriptions, administer antibiotic shots, stitch minor lacerations, test for influenza, or perform other needed services.

When appropriate, patients will be transferred directly to the hospital’s emergency room.

“Our goal is to complement

the hours of local primary care physicians so that there is a resource in the community for people who have a minor care need over the weekend,” said Bob Ellzey, FACHE, president of Texas Health Azle. “Making sure those needs are met, regardless of a patient’s ability to pay, is the top priority.”

Currently, the seven-bed emergency department at Texas Health Azle cares for more than 70 patients daily, which includes non-emergency cases.

Visiting the emergency room for a non-urgent issue can be time consuming and costly.

Administrators anticipate the clinic will reduce wait times and improve overall patient satisfaction.

For more information about Azle Minor Care, located on the campus of Texas Health Azle at 909 Southeast Parkway, Suite 101, call 817-3346525.

When Azle Police arrived Tuesday, June 26, at this quick-to-flood location where the exit ramp from SH 199 feeds onto Northwest Parkway in front of Whataburger, this car was actually floating. As the water from a deluge receded, the car’s tires returned to the ground again. The area generally received more than five inches of rain Tuesday and Wednesday, June 26-27, and those rains have brought Eagle Mountain Lake’s level up about three-quarters of a foot.

Dean’s List Stephanie Parker of Azle was listed on the Dean’s List for the fall 2013 semester at the University of Texas Medical Branch in Galveston. Parker is pursuing a doctorate in Physical Therapy from the UTMB School of Health Professions. A 2007 graduate of Azle High School, she obtained her undergraduate degree from Southwest Oklahoma State University (SOSU). The daughter of Steve and Lee Ann Parker of Azle, she was a varsity volleyball, basketball and softball player while at AHS and continued her sports career, playing volleyball at SOSU.

Azle Optimist Club President Joe Lieb presents Erin Deal, principal at Azle Elementary (middle) and Rock School teacher Mindy Owens with a trophy in honor of the school’s success in the club’s Penny Drive fundraiser. Owens’ class helped Azle Elementary raise $1,280 through student donations – the most of any school per capita. The Optimist Club raised $8,185 from the drive involving every Azle school.

Proceeds will be used to support a backpack program for needy students, as well as the local Community Caring Center food pantry and scholarships.

Senior Spotlight by darlene holmes Lake Azle is back here in Ash Creek Park due to the rains lately. We’ve enjoyed watching the birds and ducks use it and some of the participants have been feeding bread to them. They sure do gobble it up quick before the squirrels come bounding over.

The Center will be closed Friday for the Fourth of July holiday, as will the Tarrant Area Food Bank and City of Azle offices.

Tuesday, July 8: Coming up next week will be Bingo day.

Just a regular Bingo day and not a sponsored one. So be sure to get your meal reserva-

Wednesday, July 9: Monthly birthday and anniversary party.

Hope and Johnny will be here with their band again. They are really good! Come and listen to them – they play from about 10:30 a.m. until almost lunch time.

Our next AARP Safe Driving Class is coming up, so call the Center at 817-444-0070 and get signed up. We had a really big class last time.

Magazine says Azle will miss football playoffs Coach: Hornets have ‘high expectations’ by mark k. campbell Once again, Texas Football Magazine has snubbed the Hornet football team.

And, once more, head coach Devon Dorris doesn’t care.

“Magazine predictions is not where the games are won,” he said.

In fact, the coach is more than excited about getting the 2014 season underway. “We can’t wait to get on the field and play the games,” he said.

Before that time comes, AHS skill position players will battle in the annual 7-on-7 football tournament in College Station July 11-12.

Azle had landed in Pool A and will face Houston Lamar, Plano, and Port Neches Grove on Friday, July 11.

Texas Football Magazine had plenty of good things to say about Azle – with good reason.

No other 5-5A team returns more starters than Azle this autumn, 17.

That includes the entire offense but one player. So you can expect the Hornets to score, especially if senior QB Jamie King stays healthy.

A slew of battle-proven A healthy Jamie King at quarterback is just one of 17 returning starters for Azle this fall. Texas Football Magazine has AHS slotted fifth out of 5-5A. Photo by Mark K. Campbell Hornets return: running back

will have a new QB, but many Raiders have gridiron experience.

Old High has all the returning offensive leaders from 2013 and the preseason MVP in wide receiver O.J. Clark.

Boswell has a new coach too, making the Take the Lake game even more enticing.

Dorris believes in the Hornets: “Our team has very high expectations. We believe we have the ability to win every game on our schedule. We still Dalton Cole, receivers Tyler have a lot of work to do, but our Albers, Trevor Boiles, and players have put in the work so Matt Delprincipe and veteran far to be successful.” linemen Logan Todd, Landon Todd, and Kade Griffin.

All-State Softball

An Azle 10 year old is a national karate champion.

Rowdy Dawson, who will attend fifth grade this school year at Azle Elementary after finishing the previous grade at Walnut Creek Elementary, won his age group in Richardson at the American Amateur Karate Federation’s tournament June 28.

To get to the event that attracted athletes from all over America and Canada, Dawson won the Southwest Regional competition in Austin on the University of Texas campus earlier.

Dawson vied in a division that spanned from 8 years old to 17; competitors were ranked by the belts they held – purple

and brown.

Ten fighters compete against each other in round robin battles in karate and kata forms.

Afterward, scores were tallied at the University of Dallas campus and Dawson came out with the top point total.

At the same event, the Azle boy competed in synchronized kata with two others and took the bronze.

Dawson said he has piled up around 20 medals in the four and a half years he has competed.

In 2013, Dawson finished third in the nationals.

He said he plans on continuing the sport while eyeing foot- Rowdy Dawson won a U.S. karate touranment. ball down the road.

A David and Goliath tale

H

ave you heard of the Goliath Bird Eating Spider? If not, Google it and/or do a YouTube search. I’d never heard of this gigantic tarantula until last night, when Mrs. Sweetie and I spent time with an amazing young woman and her family.

A 2009 graduate of Azle High School, where she was a classmate and friend of our favorite son, she went on to complete a BS in Chemistry from Baylor, and is now working toward an MS in Sustainability from Arizona State.

As a part of this degree, she leaves tomorrow to spend the next 27 months working as a Peace Corps volunteer in Guinea, West Africa, teaching 7-10 grade chemistry.

Oh, I almost forgot … she’ll be teaching in French.

She told us last night about the application process: page after page of yes or no questions. Are you willing to live for 27 months in a mud hut without running water … electricity … a toilet? Do you understand that you are likely to contract malaria while you are there …that any mail

She also told us that the natives like to initiate visitors by throwing the Goliath Spider at them to see how they react.

This is a 23 year-old girl, for crying out loud! On her she lists LIFE MATTERS blog, the top 10 reaGerry Lewis sons why she is joining the Peace Corps. Number 1: “I believe that Christians should be leading the world in service to others. If we are truly following the teachings of Christ, Christians should be the kindest, most loving, giving, and compassionate people on the earth. Not only that, but we should be willing to do anything

on faith, if God has called us to it. One of the first things I heard about the PC was, ‘there aren’t a lot of Christians in the Peace Corps,’ which was not only shocking to me, but disturbing. If what I said above is true, then people who aren’t Christians are doing a better job of acting like Christians than we are.”

Her story reminds me of the David and Goliath story in 1 Samuel 17.

Space available here does not allow the whole story, but here are David’s words to Goliath in verses 45-46: “You come against me with sword and spear and javelin, but I come against you in the name of the Lord Almighty, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have defied. This day the Lord will hand you over to me.”

Our lives matter so much to God that He promises to be our strength, our source, and to fight our battles for us if we surrender ourselves to Him. Your Goliath may not be a giant spider, but you have access to the same God.

Letters to the Editor Former solider supports Bergdahl Dear Editor, First let’s start with facts about Sgt. Bergdahl; He is not a deserter, you have to be gone from your post over 30 days before being considered a deserter.

Secondly, by the regulations he is entitled to the rank.

Thirdly, the military lowered their standards to let him in the service. He was discharged from the Coast Guard basic training for being unable to adapt, but due to the need of the ongoing wars for over 13 years they lowered the standards.

Also, to the idea that these five men being the worse of the worse (let’s remember Hitler) let’s look at reality: We detained them in a foreign country to avoid our own laws; we did not have enough facts to bring them to trial; and when released people are outraged.

Where is our moral high ground we love to talk about?

Less than one percent of the United States population has served in the military (NPR2010). For those who like to bash Sgt. Bergdahl, did they volunteer to serve or are they arm chair quarterbacks who like to say he is a deserter or not a hero? They should reflect and ask why they didn’t volunteer – he at least served in the military and was willing to sacrifice his life for those who want to bash him.

I know my view will not be popular, but as one of those who did volunteer

to serve our country for over 23 years – and went to Iraq and Afghanistan and several other places – I will support Sgt. Bergdahl, because I know what it takes to volunteer for someone else’s freedoms. I know the sacrifice of being away from home and watching those who did not make it back being loaded on the plane.

Don’t call murderers ‘gentlemen’ Dear Editor: What a daunting task in the conundrum of thinking outside the box of our new politically correct lexicon of words in America.

Case in point: Two weeks ago, the brave men of our Special Forces captures one of the Libyan militants who attacked our embassy three years ago that killed our ambassador and three other Americans in a terrorist attack.

A state department spokesperson briefed the media of the circumstances and subsequent apprehension saying: “We now have this murderer in custody and will soon be on a naval ship for questioning.”

At which time a reporter asked a follow-up question of where this individual would be taken for detention.

The spokesperson said, “The gentleman will be transported to an undisclosed location.”

“Gentleman,” eh?

Apparently, our own law enforcement are just as paranoid of the “P.C. Police” and moribund of killing correct words as well.

The sheriff of Kaufman County gave a news account last April of the cold-blooded murders of the Kaufman County district attorney, his wife, and the assistant DA. The sheriff said, “We have our man. To prove it, the gentlman and his wife will be transported for arraignment soon.”

There’s that oxymoron again – “gentleman” and “murderer.” I must say that it’s above my pay grade to fathom this ongoing enigma of English words I was taught many years ago.

Lewis’ ‘Larry’ column appreciated To Azle News Editor: I think that Gerry Lewis' “Something About Larry" [June 25] was an excellent piece about the devastation of Alzheimer's disease.

He portrayed the human pain for the patient's loved ones.

The last paragraph was particularly meaningful.

Conclusion to historical love triangle from last week

I

n last week's column I told the story of two young people in William Clark's family (the Clark of the Lewis and Clark expedition). Clark's oldest son, whom he named Meriwether Lewis Clark, fell in love with his stepmother's daughter, Mary Radford, but the 18-year-old Mary married Major Stephen Watts Kearny, a man twice her age. Last week I lacked space to relate Kearny's extensive military career.

Born in 1794, his military career began at age 15 when he served in the New York militia in the War of 1812.

For his service Kearny was appointed a lieutenant in the U.S Army. By 1819 he was a captain serving west of the Mississippi and supervised the building of Jefferson Barracks near St Louis. Kearny explored present-day Nebraska in 1819 and traveled to the mouth of the Yellowstone River in 1825. By 1826 he became commander of Jefferson Barracks. As I reported last week, he and Mary married in 1830.

In 1833 Kearny became the lieuten-

THE

ant colonel of a newly-organized First Dragoon Regiment from which the First U.S. Cavalry evolved. By 1836 he was a full colonel in command of the regiment. Charged with protection of the frontier and keeping the peace, as a part of that responsibility he sent his men to escort early wagon trains on the Oregon Trail. He established a new post in present Nebraska named Fort Kearny.

When the Mexican War erupted in 1846, military personnel promoted Kearny to brigadier general on June 30, and ordered his Army of the West with a force of 2,500 men to take Santa Fe. Mexican forces retreated, so without firing a shot Kearny took all of New Mexico. (Prominent Mexican and American citizens of Santa Fe, engaged in the more than two decadeslong prosperous trade with the U.S. utilizing the Santa Fe Trail, used intrigue to encourage the Mexicans to surrender.) Kearny appointed Charles Bent, a wealthy trader, as governor of New Mexico Territory. Kearny left

troops in New Mexico, and in September 1846 continued on to California with orders to capture it.

On his way he met Kit Carson, a scout with John C. Fremont's third exploring trip PAGES FROM that had already CaliWESTERN reached fornia. Fremont HISTORY was sending Carson to J’Nell L. Pate Wa s h i neast gton with the news that Commodore Robert F. Stockton of the U.S. Navy and Colonel Fremont held California in American hands. Kearny sent Carson's message east by another courier and ordered Carson to lead him to California. When they arrived, they found Los Angeles in revolt.

With Commodore Stockton's help they retook Los Angeles in January 1847. The two men disagreed over who should be in command. Orders and men came by ship within two months that clearly revealed Kearny's authority over both Stockton and Fremont. Kearny became military governor of California and later was welcomed as a hero when he reached Washington, D.C. Fremont, although popular, and with influential supporters, faced court martial on Kearny's charges of insubordination. While Fremont was found guilty, President James K. Polk quickly commuted his sentence.

In March 1848 Kearny became military and civilian governor of Vera Cruz, Mexico while the peace terms were being written and approved.

After three months there he unfortunately contracted yellow fever, so he returned to the states. Mary and the general's children were in St. Louis in her old family home of William Clark, but he had died in 1838, so Meriweth-

er Lewis Clark lived there with his wife and children.

Clark welcomed Kearny, for the two had become friends over the years.

After all, they were brothers-in-law, well, step brothers-in-law. Thus it was in the Clark home that General Kearny succumbed to the lingering effects of yellow fever on October 31, 1848 at the age of 54 with his pregnant wife and children by his side. Their ninth child was born after his death. Kearny was buried in the Bellefontaine Cemetery in St. Louis, the cemetery where Lewis would be buried 33 years later and where Mary also would rest.

Mary Kearny lived for 51 more years after her husband's death, dying at the age of 87 of senility in 1899.

We romantics can't help but wonder: Did she ever regret marrying Kearny and wish she had instead accepted the passionate pleadings of young Lewis, only three years older than she?

Don’t be ‘koi’ when it comes to believing

I

think that’s a cool picture over there.

There’s a story behind it. Now, not everyone likes that photo – and that’s another story.

This picture is an accident.

Several years ago at the Dallas Arboretum, the Bride stopped at the koi pond to fire off a couple of shots.

Koi ponds offer the most generic of shots – colored fish slowly swimming about.

Somehow, the camera settings got bumped and this is what came out.

I find the picture hypnotic, full of movement and, if you keep focusing on it, a series of static reflections, too.

When the Arboretum announced an art contest comprised of works taken in or inspired by the Dallas gardens, I thought there was no way this wouldn’t win. Plus it had a companion shot that was just as mysterious and mesmerizing.

The problem was the Bride was out of town and the entry deadline was that day.

I had to get to the Arboretum

by White Rock Lake by 5 p.m. that day.

Photo card in hand, I raced to get the pictures enlarged to 20x20 inches.

Framing and matting was next – something I was about as familiar with as transmission repair.

A local expert needed more time to frame them and didn’t have the right size, anyway.

So I went to Hobby Lobby, chose black frames with no matting (I had no idea how to cut those), and secure the photos.

Padding them with blankets in the backseat of the pickup, I dashed to the Arboretum.

To my surprise, the lady who was checking contest entries in didn’t do a back flip when I presented them.

She logged me in and set the Bride’s astonishing work against a wall with what were clearly a much lesser batch of photographs.

A few days later, as I expected, the phone rang. It was the Arboretum. Come pick up the photos, a lady said. They didn’t make the cut.

I couldn’t believe it. How could they not see the greatness here?

Of course, that’s not the first time a judge has not recognized brilliance when it was right there before them.

But, the framed wonders settled in on the walls of the grandkids’ “toy room” at home.

Then came another chance for the world to acknowledge

ON YOUR MARK Mark K. Campbell what I already knew – that these picture were cool.

A group from Hollywood (Hollywood!) was in town looking for art for the HGTV

show that shot north of town.

Flipping through a batch of smaller 8x10s, a guy stopped on the Arboretum photos – and liked them.

That set about another mad rush to get those appropriately framed and back to the man before filming resumed.

So, here’s the gist of it all: Mistakes can be awesome and just because someone says your work – or you – isn’t up to what they’re looking for doesn’t mean they’re right.

The world is full of naysayers. I mean busting at the seams in this social media-intense time on the planet.

Negative people sometimes have their own issues to deal with. Or they’ve suffered so much rejection that they want to infect everyone with their bummertude.

It’s OK to make mistakes.

Sometimes you get a really cool picture. Sometimes you don’t. But you learn something, if nothing else.

You could wallpaper a town with all the encouraging/inspirational motivational posters plastered around. They may be generic and corny, but that doesn’t mean they’re wrong.

Action is eloquence, Shakespeare said. So go for it! Even if you’re on the wrong setting... well, you never know what might develop.

Movie Man

Wednesday, July 2, 2014

New Transformers will make your ears extinct This review is Movie Man No. 1,094, and he can declare that Transformers: Age of Extinction is the loudest movie he has ever seen.

About the film No snotty cinema lover goes to a Transformers movie expecting Citizen Kane. But the common Joe and Jane do.

The fact that the most hated director on the planet, Michael Bay, is behind the movies makes them even more kryptonite-y for those who consider film “art.” Oh, there’s art in the Transformers movies – this is No. 4 and the first of a second trilogy – and it’s all done on computers.

All four of the pictures are incredible movie magic. The stories are horrible, but the process is astounding. That and the allure the movies/toys have for multiple generations are the reasons the Movie Man chose Age of Extinction No. 1 when predicting the biggest moneymaker of the summer.

And the Movie Man looks mighty fine with that pick right now; Age of Extinction not only opened bigger than any movie so far this summer (which started in early May, you recall), but it set the 2014 international opening mark, too.

In case you forgot, here’s the Movie Man’s Top 10 summer guesses: 10. A Million Ways to Die in the West (oops; dead in the water at a mere $41.7 million [way to go, America!])

9. Guardians of the Galaxy (Aug. 1) 8. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Aug. 8) 7. Maleficent (MM #1090, 4; it’s already over $200 million, way too low on the Movie Man’s list since it’s headed to around $215 million or so) 6. Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (July 11) 5. Godzilla (MM #1088, 7; $197 million, fading but might get to $200 million) 4. The Amazing Spider-Man

2 (MM #1086, 7; $200.1 million and about done) 3. How to Train Your Dragon 2 (MM #1093, 6; $122 million in week two, headed to about $150 million) 2. X-Men: Days of Future Past (MM #1089, 7; fading at $223 million, looking at $230 million) 1. Transformers: Age of Extinction The Movie Man has noted before that he’s not a Bay hata; he liked The Rock (1996, Movie Man No. 131, a 7) and thought Armageddon (1998, MM #241, 7) was good fun.

He can’t say the same for the Transformers movies (which are among the biggest worldwide moneymakers in film history). However, until Age of Extinction, they haven’t been abysmal.

The original Transformers (2007, MM #726, 6) was decent. But the sequel, Revenge of the Fallen (2009, MM #831, 5), is considered by fanboys one of the worst follow-ups in movie history.

In 2011, Dark of the Moon (MM #937, 6) was another kinetic head-hurter that was a technical marvel and dumb as a rock with occasional laughs.

However, Age of Extinction fails in every way (except the CG).

The next Transformers question is: How will the upcoming two shape up? It’s no spoiler to reveal that Age of Extinction sets up not only a sequel but a third movie where likely the mysterious “Creators” will be revealed.

Surely the next two Transformers won’t be worse.

The plot (spoilers) (The Movie Man is going to say right off that the story in Age of Extinction is hilariously confusing.)

Dinobots, not a comet or meteorite, caused the end of the dinosaurs. And, in modern day, a frozen Dinobot is found in the Arctic.

Little has Transformed Starring: Mark Wahlberg, Stanley Tucci, Kelsey Grammer Directed by: Michael Bay Rated PG-13: violence, loudness email: movieman@azlenews.net

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man Meanwhile, government man Attinger (Kelsey Grammer) is in cahoots with Joyce (Stanley Tucci) to eradicate ALL alien robots from the planet – including the mankind-loving Autobots who have now split up to avoid capture.

Grammer’s head henchman Savoy (Titus Welliver) gets word that Texan Yeager (Mark Wahlberg) has found not only an Autobot but the leader of the robots, Optimus Prime. Soon Wahlberg, his daughter Tessa (Nicola Peltz), and (briefly) his workmate James (Gill Wembley) are on the run.

Not only are the feds on their trail, but a space bounty hunter has come to earth with one purpose – to capture and return Optimus Prime to the “Creators.”

Also: There’s this thing called “the seed” that is the basis of all things Transformer-y.

Grammer gets it and gives it to Tucci who, with the seed, can build a robot army to protect America.

And, robots fight. A lot.

What works Some of the actors seem to know that they’re in a big goofy movie and deliver their horrible lines with straight faces. Grammer, Tucci, and Wahlberg go with the putrid dialogue and deliver it with gusto. Gotta admire that.

Still, the only reason to see Age of Extinction is for the

computer generation which is nothing less than amazing. The robots are cool, and the fights, while terribly repetitive, are knockouts.

The 3-D is fine. One scene with ash flecks floating about after a battle especially impressed the younger folks in the audience. (Which was most of the audience.)

Azle grad joins Springtown vet practice

By Natalie Gentry Veterinarian Brian Barone – a 1995 Azle High School graduate – has joined the Gieb Veterinary Clinic in Springtown.

After earning his bachelor’s degree at Tarleton State University, Barone received his Doctor of Veterinary Medicine from Texas A&M University in 2004.

He and his wife, Shelly, then moved out to East Texas in order to split the distance between his hometown and hers in Louisiana.

He hired on at a practice in Jacksonville and settled in to begin his career.

Trial by fire, times three Barone was drawn to his first job during an interview with one of the partners.

“I really liked one of the doctors there,” Barone said.

However, he didn’t have to wait long for his first surprise.

“When I told him I would take the job, he let me know that he had been diagnosed with lung cancer,” he said.

Surprise number two wasn’t far behind either.

“On my first day on the job – my first day out of school – they let me know that I was on my own,” Barone said.

This wasn’t a situation he had expected to be in as a brand spankin’ new veterinarian.

“Students have externships, labs, and experiences like that,” Barone said. “But it was almost like ‘hey, if you need help you can make a phone call.’”

In essence he was working without a proverbial net, but the experience required him to

become decisive and independent.

Then, three months later, surprise number three occurred when his favored boss died of lung cancer.

“I stayed there for about a year and a half,” Barone said.

“But I found that [the other partner’s] value system and mine were just too different.”

Mixing it up After Barone’s first child, Caroline, was born he started relief work – filling in when area vets needed extra help or were on vacation.

This work kept him busy for a couple of years and through it he found his next job in Lufkin.

Barone planned to buy into that clinic, but the combination of trying to sell their house in Jacksonville during a recession and taking their second daughter on long trips to and from the doctor’s office prevented that.

“Corynne was diagnosed with juvenile diabetes at 20 months,” Barone said.

For the Barones, family took priority over the ambition of becoming a partner in the practice.

After working in Lufkin for four years Barone returned to relief work in Longview and took an additional job working at an emergency clinic.

Clinics like this require long hours, and since they are only open during hours other clinics are closed the vets there typically work at night and on weekends.

So, for the next year and a half Barone worked 140 hours per week.

This crowded schedule didn’t

leave him much time with Shelly, their daughters, and son Corbin.

Although he felt burnt out at times, it was during this year and a half that he realized how much he liked preforming surgeries.

This work also gave him the opportunity to observe how different veterinarians dealt with cases.

“While I was doing relief work I had the chance to work in a lot of different places,” Barone said. “I was able to see a huge variety of ways to do things, which is always good.

“I saw a lot of ways that I don’t want to do things.”

But he noted that even those times were learning experiences worth having.

Coming home Although Barone stayed busy with his work, he began to feel a need to move closer to home.

“Before I had even taken the job in Longview I had decided that I wanted to start working back this way,” he said.

“I liked the town and the people in that area,” Barone continued. “I just like it better here – it’s home.”

In addition to moving closer to his parents, Barone is happy to return to a general care clinic.

“I like getting back to a regular clinic,” he said. “At the emergency clinic I didn’t get to follow up with the people or the patients.”

“I like the fact that I will get to know the families here,” Barone continued. “This is just Azle High School graduate Dr. Brian Barone has joined the Gieb Veterinary Clinic in what I was looking for.”

The manager of the Horticulture Center at Tarleton State University at Stephenville, Manon Shockey, will present the program.

Visitors can bring their own cuttings and potting material; some will also be available.

Those bringing their own cuttings should sever them as late as possible before heading to Weatherford’s Cherry Park and keep the plant ends moist.

Staying safe in severe weather Severe weather can bring violence – damaging winds, deadly lightning, heavy rains, and hail – and knowing how to react when outside can be crucial.

When powerful storms approach, bring outdoor items in: Patio furniture and other outdoor equipment can become dangerous projectiles if loose.

Anticipate power outages: Fill plastic containers with water and freeze them to keep refrigerator and freezer food cold should the electricity fail.

Back up computer files and operating systems.

Keep flashlights and a battery-powered radio on hand: Don’t use candles because they are a fire hazard.

If caught outdoors avoid natural lightning rods: Tall, isolated trees are dangerous as are hilltops and metal objects like wire fences, golf clubs, and metal tools.

If hail falls, close your win-

dow coverings: Drapes, blinds, and window shades can help prevent potential injury from broken glass being blown inside the house.

Avoid skylights, windows, and doors.

Be sure the storm has passed before going outside: Avoid broken and downed tree branches and power lines.

Check trees, shrubs, and plants for stripped foliage: If you find them beaten up, then your roof is also likely damaged. Other indicators include dented patio covers, screens, and aluminum roof vents.

Cover broken windows and holes in roofs: Otherwise, water can intrude into the structure.

Avoid high water: Just two feet of water can sweep away most automobiles. More deaths occur because of flooding than from any other thunderstorm-/ hurricane-related hazard – often when motorists are swept away. If your vehicle stalls, leave it immediately and seek higher ground.
