Springtown pilot is sky high Crump given FAA’s highest honor by Natalie Gentry “Aviation in itself is not inherently dangerous. But to an even greater degree than the sea, it is terribly unforgiving of any carelessness, incapacity or neglect.” ~Captain A. G. Lamplugh Herschel Crump, 73, of Springtown was awarded the Wright Brothers “Master Pilot” award by the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA), their highest award.

Dreaming of flight “My family has been a flying family,” Crump said. “My dad was taking lessons before WWII.” But when the war started and the family grew, Eugene Crump had to prioritize, and flying lessons were pushed to the wayside.

in Tarrant City, Alabama.” Crump said “I was airplane crazy, always building and flying control line, gas powered model airplanes as well as a few of the free-flight models,” he continues. “It was only a natural progression for me to take up flying as soon as I could afford the lessons.” Crump took his first two lessons in 1956 at the age of 15 but couldn’t afford to continue them. “I guess flying is just in our blood,” Crump said “My brother, Jimmy, was a naval pilot and then a commercial pilot until he retired at 60.” Realizing the dream Crump entered the Air Force in 1960 and trained as a navigator in San Antonio. “In 1960, I couldn’t pass the pilot physical because of my eyes.” Crump said. “I had 20/50 vision and I didn’t qualify.” He was one of the casualties of the homemade rockets that became popu-

lar in 1957 after Sputnik launched. “I had an accident with some fuel I had concocted,” he said. “I wanted to see if it would burn so I lit it with a match and it burned me on my right hand and up my arm and both eyes.” When his eyes healed he found that his sight had been affected – and so had his chance of being a military pilot. Once he was promoted to Second Lieutenant in the Air Force, he was finally able to take flying lessons in the base Aero Club. After only three lessons he bought his first plane, a 1946 Cessna 140. Crump soloed in his own aircraft on November 19, 1961 and he completed his private pilot flight test in February of 1962. Later that year, Crump was flying through the clouds over the Smokey Mountains when he lost critical navigation instruments. “Although I panicked at first, I realPLEASE SEE FAA’S, PAGE 2A.

TRWD busy with several projects, EML levels a concern by mark k. campbell Tarrant Regional Water District (TRWD) Planning Director Wayne Owen has been doing plenty of planning. And some of it is long range including near-future and distant projects.

1924 and within eight years had built two lakes – Lake Bridgeport and Eagle Mountain Lake (EML) – in 1929 and 1932. Owen said EML filled in 1934. Early on, TRWD received a huge benefit because purchased land at that time came with all mineral rights. “We owned the property under both TRWD history The organization was created in lakes; that became a boon with oil and

gas,” he said. Lake Bridgeport and EML were originally paid for by taxpayers; the price tag was $16 million for both lakes. “That’s all paid off,” Owen said. TRWD consists of a five-member board with Vic Henderson, a member since 1985, the president and Azle Rotary Club member Jack Stevens the vice-president.

The drought situation Owen said Bridgeport and EML are not considered large lakes. Both suffered during the devastating drought of the 1950s. “In 1956-57, Eagle Mountain almost dried up,” Owen said. The lesson learned was that more water was needed.

So, TRWD constructed lakes eastward, Cedar Creek Lake from 196064 and Richland Chambers Lake from 1982-87. “Those are large lakes,” Owen said. “Richland Chambers is the third biggest lake in Texas.” Today, he said, Fort Worth gets 80 percent of its water 90 miles to the PLEASE SEE TRWD, PAGE 4A.

in a relative’s home about one mile from the victim’s residence. When deputies woke Andrade, they discovered he had been sleeping on top of one of the stolen cell phones – a fact that provided probable cause. Sheriff’s investigators then obtained a search warrant for the home of Andrade’s relatives,

located in the 100 block of Alta Vista Street, in Springtown. There they discovered two pairs of child’s panties rolled inside a pair of Andrade’s blue jeans along with a pair of tennis shoes containing similar tread pattern matching that of the set of footprints discovered outside the victim’s residence. The victim’s mother positively identified the child’s panties as being her daughter’s.

Andrade’s relatives told Sheriff’s deputies that Andrade arrived in Texas from Mexico about 30 days ago. Andrade was booked into the Parker County Jail at 11:43 a.m. Saturday and charged with the first-degree felony charge of burglary of a habitation with intent to commit another felony, (indecency with a child by sexual contact). Sheriff’s investigators also dis-

covered that according to records from the Immigration and Naturalization Service, Andrade has been deported from the United States four times – in July 2003, February 2004, September 2009, and again in December 2010. Sheriff Fowler said he believes the State of Texas is doing what they can, considering the current border situation. “Our border Sheriffs and the Texas Department of Public

Safety are doing a phenomenal job with the current laws and available resources,” Fowler said. “Yet, our federal government needs to step forward and aid us in enforcing the laws on our southern border. “This type of injustice cannot be allowed to pass by another time. How long will we have to tolerate this type of injustice? It is time for American citizens to make a stand and begin petition-

ing for tighter security at our borders in order to protect our citizens. “I wonder why Congress can’t just pass a bill to secure the border then take the time to fix the underlying issues involved in immigration reform,” Fowler said. “But they need to stop the hemorrhage.” Fowler indicated that Andrade probably capitalized on the influx of people crossing the bor-

ized that if I didn’t calm down I was going to die,” he said. “I knew if I just flew the plane maybe I’d be alright.” By 1964 Crump had accumulated 520 hours of flying and had flown his Cessna 140 over Ohio, Texas, Nebraska, California, and all the states in between. He completed his commercial pilot and his flight instructor certificates in November of 1964. Soon after that he began giving flying lessons. He continued flying as often as he could through the remainder of his career in the Air

Force and accumulated nearly 8,000 hours of flying as a navigator. Crump accredits much of his aviation knowledge to the pilots he flew with throughout his years of flight crew duty. Inspiring new pilots In 1997, Crump built an airport at his home four miles north of Springtown off FM 51. He named the airport Eugene’s Dream in recognition of his father. “Dad wasn’t ever able to fly, but he inspired us to,” Crump said. Jimmy flew their father to the

dedication in September 1997. “It went on the FAA database that year,” Crump said. It’s here that Crump instructs aviation’s new generation. I’ve never taught flying full time,” he said. “I’ve always had another job, but it’s something I enjoy.” When Crump teaches students he encourages them to never just do the minimum. “If the FAA require at least 1,500 feet of altitude at the end of a recovery why not add another thousand feet? You can never have enough altitude,” he said “Ever since I was a kid I’ve been afraid of the sudden

stop, so I try to make sure I to make sure I don’t have one. “There is one thing about flying safely and that is that every time you take off there has got to be a plan. But the pilot has to know that they can change that plan if needed. There are always options.” Receiving the award “When people see planes in an airshow they think ‘wow that’s dangerous’ and it is if you are doing those things. Those are the risk takers.” Crump notes. However, he points out that the acrobatics themselves are

not dangerous; it’s the combination of a mistake and the failure to leave enough room to recover that creates a problem. But one of the highest awards that the FAA gives isn’t for pilots who push the limits with aerial acrobatics. “This isn’t an award for having been the most daring, exciting pilot on the face of the earth,” Crump said with a smile. “If anything, it’s an award for having been a boring pilot.” The Wright Brothers Master Pilot Award recognizes pilots who have demonstrated professionalism, skill, and aviation

expertise by maintaining safe operations for 50 or more years. Joe Murphy from the FAA’s North Texas Flight Standards District Offices (FSDO) explained a little more. “This award represents 50 years or more of flying with no accident incidents, violations, or civil penalties.” Murphy said. “It shows compliance for safety and is one of the highest awards the FAA can present.” “A superior pilot uses his superior judgment to avoid situations which require the use of his superior skills.” ~Frank Borman

Club seeks EML’s best burger by carla noah stutsman The 1st Annual Eagle Mountain Classic Boat Club’s Cheeseburger in Paradise Poker Run/ Beer Cruise will begin at noon Saturday, July 19 at Eagle Mountain Marina. At stake? The title “Best Burger on Eagle Mountain Lake.” Event organizer Andy Butchard says although it’s a “first,” years of planning has gone into the event. When it’s over, the winning burger will be announced, and you can bet the “burger joint” that serves it up will see some increased traffic as a result. Prospective EML Classic Boat Club members – those with an interest in Eagle Mountain Lake, boating and/or good friendships (owning a boat is not a requirement) – are invited to come along and participate in the judging. Cheeseburger-choosers will meet at Eagle Mountain Marina at noon and embark on a boat ride that will take them to four popular lakeside eateries – Augie’s Sunset Cafe, BoonDocks, Lakeview Marina and West Bay Marina. “We will meet in our runabouts and proceed to some of the best burger joints on the lake to find the one true, best cheeseburger on EML,” Butchard said. “We’ll order one burger for each group of four judges and cut it into quarters for our distinguished panel of resident hamburger experts.” Experts will analyze each burger to savor the flavor, texture, aroma, bun bouquet, juiciness, and presentation. Accompanying fries will add or detract points, as will the cold beer that washes the burger and

fries down, Butchard explained. Burgers must be prepared to the exact specifications outlined in Jimmy Buffett’s famous song “Cheeseburger in Paradise,” to wit: “I like mine with lettuce and tomato, Heinz 57 and French fried potatoes, Big kosher pickle and a cold glass of beer, Well, good God Almighty, which way do I steer for my Cheeseburger in paradise, Medium rare with mustard’d be nice, Where on earth is that onion slice?” After the last bite is taken, club members will tally the judges’ opinions and announce the Best Cheeseburger on Eagle Mountain Lake. All decisions will be final. For a $10 fee, prospective EML Classic Boat Club members can participate in the Poker Run portion of the festivities, collecting a playing card at the meeting point and at each step along the way. The best hand wins what’s left in the pot – after the cost of cheeseburgers, of course. Those who don’t wish to participate in the Poker Run are welcome to come along and cast their vote for the winning Cheeseburger in Paradise – but they’ll need to purchase their own burgers.

southeast through pipelines. The Cedar Creek pipeline is 72-inches wide and Richland Chambers’ even bigger at 90 inches. Pump booster stations are located in Ennis and Waxahachie. Owen said, “We now have the ability to pump large quantities of water from southeast of Dallas to Fort Worth.” While many lake levels are down because of the drought, Cedar Creek is only three feet below normal and Richland Chambers six feet. In the late 1980s, the system connected to Lake Benbrook then, in the early 2000s, to EML. To battle the drought, Owen said TRWD has been pumping continuously – with minor maintenance stoppages – for a year-and-a-half. “Eagle Mountain is about seven feet low and it would be far lower without that pipeline,” he said. All totaled, the TRWD lake system sits at 71 percent storage – “high cotton” compared to other areas of the state, Owen said. TRWD budget The organization’s annual budget is $120 million with half of it pipeline debt, Owen said. Another sizable portion goes to electricity to move the water, $25-30 million. The elevation differences between the lakes to the southeast and here cause that, Owen said. Cedar Creek and Richland Chambers are at 320 feet above sea level; EML sits at 694. Owen

said that uphill pumping must “clear 830 feet; that’s an incredible amount of head to break.” TRWD covers 11 counties and provides water to 70 cities with a total population of 18 million. Fort Worth and Arlington are the biggest cities supplied. That population is expected to double by 2060, so, Owen said, TRWD is planning to meet that future demand.

OPINION

Some years are more memorable than others

fter you’ve lived a few decades, you can look back and see that certain years rock and others stink. For me, 1980 was

terrific. I was 23 and would turn 24 about halfway through. It was the only year the Bride and I had just one child (who just turned 35 – these days, the “time flies” axiom is replaceable by “I don’t mind getting old but I don’t want to see my children getting old.”) We had just met our lifetime friends while both sets of spouses played softball. We began watching each others kids and have never stopped. In ‘80, I used to jog on an impossibly wide White Oak Lane in River Oaks carrying my super high-tech music device, a Cassette Walkman that weighed about six pounds by the end of an hour run.

On the plus side, you could listen to the Rocky soundtrack twice (yes, the movie was about to be four years old but that didn’t [and never did] matter); the tape was white on one side and black on the other and I wore it completely out. Baby Julie was a marvel since her 1979 birth. She talked – non-stop – in 1980, and, after finally getting permission to shed the braces she wore to repair her dislocated hips, she became a walking machine. You might recall that the summer of 1980 was the all-time hot one. (I still put it above 2012.) We had a Buick Skylark with black interior adorned with metal insignias in the middle of each seat. One sat and parked carefully that year. Also, the air-conditioner didn’t work. From downtown Fort Worth, I drove a meat truck, also unair-conditioned. Unless you got in the back with 5,000

I moved that weight three times daily – tossing it to the back of the truck, hauling it into the store by hand, ON YOUR then stacking it wherever they MARK wanted. Mark K. Campbell The year was also a marvel in entertainment. At the movies were The Empire Strikes Back (the awesome second Star Wars film); Raging Bull; Friday the 13th; The Shining; The Blues Brothers; and Caddyshack – to name just a few. On TV, Magnum, P.I. debuted. Tom

Hanks arrived in Bosom Buddies. Fridays (the much-hyped answer to Saturday Night Live) petered out. We never missed That’s Incredible before Monday Night Football. Cable TV began with CNN. The Solid Gold dancers got famous fast and on Saturday morning, Baby Julie and I watched Super Friends and we still say “Wonder Twin powers activate!” all these decades later. Cool books that year were Cosmos; The Clan of the Cave Bear; The Restaurant at the End of the Universe; A Confederacy of Dunces, and the No. 1 Jim Morrison biography No One Gets Out of Here Alive. And speaking of the music! Disco was fading and new genres were gearing up. Some incredible albums came out: AC/DC’s immortal Back in Black; John Lennon’s comeback Double Fantasy; Glass Houses by Billy Joel; Van Halen’s Women and Children First;

Ozzy Osbourne’s Blizzard of Ozz; Get Happy by Elvis Costello; Departure from Journey; and Emotional Rescue by the Rolling Stones. Old school rock, dance music, heavy metal, New Wave, and pop songs like Blondie’s “Call Me” and “Cars” by Gary Numan and “Off the Wall” by Michael Jackson and “I Wanna Be Your Lover” by Prince and “Another Brick in the Wall, Part II” by Pink Floyd and “Funkytown” by Lipps Inc. (we cool dudes knew the group’s name was pronounced Lip-synch) are all still played 34 years later. Plus we hosted a fantastic Halloween party in 1980. That’s a lot of lots of stuff crammed into one year. Ah, 1980. Glad I was there. Mark K. Campbell is the Epigraph editor and still catches himself singing “Take it Back” from Rocky sometimes.

Letter to the Editor Immigrant kids: Adults on both borders to blame The solution is not to simply take care of the children [On Your Mark, “What Would Jesus Do on immigration? Well, duh” July 9]. You uniquely covered the humanitarian side of the crisis but omitted the stewardship aspect of the dynamic plaguing our border. Jesus would also remind the parents of the children – His second greatest gift to us – that they are poor stewards of what he had blessed them with! How excited would Christ be to see the gifts he made so amazingly perfect thrown on a train to fend for themselves, most under the age of accountability? How many have died in the desert, drowned in the Rio Grande, been sold

into the sex trade, and or raped and murdered? What would Jesus say to the parents or sending family member about that? He would say their blood is on your hands; you were poor stewards of what I gave you! You will stand and one day be held to account! The problem is not loving and caring for these children; I am prayerful we as Christians and America as a country will always do what is right in God’s eyes. We (America) currently have a poor track record of that! The greater battle is how do we teach ourselves to stop turning a blind eye in how we move forward to solving the real problem verses handling the perpetual crisis! It will cost taxpayers an estimated $67,000 annually on average to feed, house, medically treat, and school these children. It’s not about the money, but it’s a fact worthy of mention!

We are treating illegal aliens better than our veterans, our elderly, and our own hungry and abused American children. I honestly would rather spend most of that money here! The problem is not the children! It is the adults on both sides of the borders. The ones from south of the border who do not respect our laws, and the ones from north of the border who do not enforce them. And then there are those on our side of the border that do neither and that is a long list starting at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue! Fixing the problem is not taking care of the children. That is simple a humane and Christ-like response to the collateral damage of their parents’ sin! Question was what would Jesus do? Answer is all of the above! Pastor T (Tom Kolb) West Parkway Baptist Church, Azle

Sam Houston’s bold 1861 speech at Brenham, Part 1

. A. Hackworth sent a letter and a copy of the speech made by Sam Houston at Brenham, Texas, on March 31, 1861, to the University of Texas Library. This was less than two weeks before the beginning of the Civil War on April 12, 1861. The April 3 Brenham Inquirer mentioned the speech and ominous threats against Houston’s life, if he tried to speak at Brenham. Before I give you Houston’s speech, I want to share part of Hackworth’s letter. This was immediately after Houston had been removed from the office of Governor, because he refused to take the Oath of Allegiance to the Confederacy. “General Houston, accompanied by his family, was on his way by stage travel, from Austin to his home at Cedar Point, near the old battlefield of San Jacinto. He did not wish to speak his sentiments. He firmly continued to refuse their invitation, until some of

the hot-blooded secessionists declared that he should not speak. This aroused the old lion-hearted hero, and he then consented to speak. “I remember the scene as vividly as if it had been only yesterday. The excitement was intense; excited groups of secessionists gathered upon the street corners, and declared that it would be treason against the Confederate Government to permit Governor Houston to speak against secession. “The court house was densely packed, and as Governor Houston arose to speak, cries were heard: ‘Put him out; don’t let him speak; kill him.’ “At this moment, Mr. Hugh McIntyre, a wealthy planter of the community, and a leading secessionist, sprang upon the table and drew a large Colt revolver saying: ‘ I and 100 other friends of Governor Houston have invited him to address us, and we will kill the first man who insults, or who may, in any way attempt to injure him. I myself think that Governor Hous-

ton ought to have accepted the situation, and ought to have taken the oath of allegiance to our Confederate Government, but he thought otherwise. He is honest and sincere, and he HISTORICAL shed his blood HIGHLIGHTS for Texas independence. Laurie Moseley There is no other man alive who has more right to be heard by the people of Texas. Now, fellowcitizens, give him your close attention; and you ruffians, keep quiet, or I will kill you.’” Here is Sam Houston’s speech as S. A. Hackworth wrote it down. Houston said “Fellow-Citizens: It

was not my purpose or desire to address you today upon the great issues now confronting our common country, but old soldier comrades who fought with me at San Jacinto, and other dear friends, insist that I shall explain the reason why I refuse to take the oath of allegiance to the Confederate Government, and why I have been deposed from the Governorship of our beloved State. “The earnest solicitations of my old soldier comrades outweigh my desire to remain silent until the whirlwind of passion and popular clamor have subsided and the voice of reason can be fairly heard. “I shall, therefore, speak my honest sentiments and convictions and allegiance to the so-called Confederate Government, and thereby violate the oath of allegiance I took to the Federal Government when I entered upon the duties of the Chief Magistracy of Texas. “It has always been the invariable

Perry, Obama meet for border security discussion

s unaccompanied minors and mothers with children from Central American countries continued to cross the border into Texas, President Barack Obama met with Gov. Rick Perry on July 9 in Dallas to discuss how to address the situation. Afterward, Perry said he urged Mr. Obama to: • Witness in person what’s going on at the border; • Deploy 1,000 more National Guard troops to enhance border security; • Direct the Federal Aviation Administration to allow the National Guard to use unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) for border surveillance; • Medically screen all detainees; • Direct federal agencies to work with Texas Department of State Health Services to inspect detention facilities to ensure standards are met; and • Modify or rescind “policies that serve as a magnet to encourage illegal immigration”

such as “catch and release.” Despite Perry’s urging, the president chose not to visit the border. In a July 11 speech broadcast from Austin, Obama said he was waiting on Congress to approve his June 30 request for $3.7 billion in emergency funding to address the population influx. The president asked that those funds be used for: • A “sustained surge” of enhanced domestic enforcement, including air surveillance; • Expenses related to the repatriation and reintegration of migrants, such as transportation costs, additional immigration judge teams, immigration prosecutors and immigration litigation attorneys to ensure cases are processed fairly and as quickly as possible; • Addressing root causes of migration, paying for public diplomacy and international information programs; paying operational costs of responding to apprehensions of unaccompanied children and adults traveling with children; and paying expenses associated with care for those apprehended, includ-

Movie Man

Thursday, July 17, 2014

Dawn rises to the occasion as an Apes sequel The Movie Man has visited before how rare it is when a sequel equals and (rarely) even surpasses the original. While it doesn’t happen often, sometimes a second movie is mighty good. This is one of those times. About the film This recent Planet of the Apes reboot, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, follows a 2012 film that followed what many consider a disastrous “revisiting” of the 1968 original by quirky director Tim Burton back in 2001. The Movie Man was in the vast majority by liking Burton’s picture – Movie Man #415, an 8. Burton’s version addressed the campiness the original series descended into while making the new one laugh-out-loud funny sometimes – especially Paul Giamatti’s character, Limbo. (Watch it again and you’ll see you’ll like it more.) The first movie series was based on a 1963 short novel by Pierre Boulle and it contains one of the great concluding twists in literature. It’s short – go read it (and don’t cheat.) When the first movie arrived, it, too, boasted a trick ending that stunned (different from the book); it was penned by Twilight Zone’s Rod Serling. With Charlton Heston delivering two now-iconic lines – “Take your stinking paws off me, you damned dirty ape!” and “You maniacs! You blew it up!...” (there’s more, but it’s not suitable for a newspaper; the movie was rated G but would be a PG today with all that cussin’) – and Dr. Zaius became part of Simpsons history when a musical substituted his name in Falco’s “Rock Me Amadeus,” that first one’s an undeniable classic. That 1968 movie was a huge hit. Then came the sequels; none matched up to that classic original, but all have their moments. Four movies fol-

lowed quickly: Beneath the Planet of the Apes (1970); Escape From…(1971 and generally considered the best of the additional movies); Conquest of... (1972); and Battle for... (1973). In those old school, precomputer generation days, men in masks played monkeys. But they did it well. The 1968 original won an Honorary Oscar for “make-up achievement.” Beneath, the first sequel, is certainly inferior. Unlike this week’s Dawn, Beneath could not match its predecessor. It’s tough to return to the platinum level – as last year’s Star Trek Into Darkness (MM #1036, 7) discovered. It was good, but the first one was better. That’s usually the case. Some exceptions where the sequel out-shone the original (which doesn’t detract from the first ones): Godfather II (1974); Superman II (1980); Evil Dead II (1987, which also had the creepiest poster ever); and Gremlins 2: The New Batch (1990, and very funny). Lots of horror/sci-fi fans prefer Aliens (1986) to the original, but they likely weren’t in theaters to see that first “haunted house in outer space” classic that was a bona fide scary movie. Now, with the success – critically and publically – for Dawn, the scene is set for the final piece of the trilogy. Mark your calendars now: the still untitled third one arrives July 29, 2016.

Dawn of the Planet of the Apes

Monkeys with emotions Starring: Andy Serkis, Jason Clarke, Gary Oldman Directed by: Kyle Reeves Rated PG-13 for: violence, cussin’ email: movieman@azlenews.net

Movie Man

since the human race was decimated, all available generator fuels are gone. The power answer is to gear up a quieted dam – located in the midst of ape country. Oldman sends out a work crew, led by Malcolm (Jason Clarke) and Ellie (Keri Russell). Their first encounter with the apes goes poorly. But Clarke convinces Cesar to give them another chance while Oldman wants to eradicate the beasts. However, there’s trouble in the ape world; Koba (Toby Kebbell), who has suffered at the hands of humans, wants a war. And he’s turning Cesar’s sons against him. The power comes on and things look peachy for the two races. But an assassination alters the atmosphere. The war is on as thousands of now-armed apes maraud through the city and attack the humans’ stronghold.

And so are the And they need a new power fake horses and cityscapes. (The source. After the few years Movie Man didn’t see Dawn in

3-D, but it looked like it would be worth it.) Many sequences manage to elicit emotions that, going in, you’d think would be impossible. Cesar’s family unit is much stronger than any human family depicted. Several scenes are strong: teacher ape Maurice receiving a book from Clarke’s troubled son after the ape protected them; Cesar crushed at hearing one of his sons has been killed and by whom; a bear attack; the sudden anger that Cesar employs when needed; the apes full-bore attack on the human hideout (even filmed in some super-slo motion, straight out of a true action movie).

Best scene (spoiler) Koba returns to the human armory where he purposely acts goofy like Cheeta in a Tarzan movie to humor a couple of armed guys, to put them at ease. Then Koba casually picks up a gun and his visage changes to malevolence. He never flinches to kill the two humans. What doesn’t work The human actors pale beside the simians. All they seem to do is get misty-eyed while fawning over the apes. It’s a Hollywood/ PETA dream come true. The environmental/can’t-we-all-justget-along message isn’t subtle. Clarke is a weak lead and Oldman doesn’t waste much time going over the top the other direction. The climactic ape fight isn’t as dramatic as the Movie Man would’ve liked. The rating There’s nary a cuss word until Oldman unleashes an fbomb late. There’s some gore and plenty of violence when the war begins. Dawn is a midrange PG-13. Summing up This movie is better than the first one, Rise of the Planet of the Apes (MM #942, 7). It’s very well made – after a brief

preface, the movie opens and closes with the same shot, a super close-up – and the sequel is locked and loaded with the ending. The biggest tribute is that, in a packed auditorium, no one chuckled once – and this is a movie about apes. Next up This is the second down week in the summertime. Sex Tape looks dumb and The Purge: Anarchy isn’t too enticing. Maybe the Movie Man will head to the one-of-a-kind Boyhood, filmed over several years with the same actors. Or maybe the under-the-radar, buzzy sci-fi Snowpiercer.

Marital martial arts SHS grad, husband open self-defense school in Azle own school. They made that dream a reality earlier this year. Dillinger Kovach (left) is one of several outstanding athletes at the Kovach’s school. Here he takes home the belt in the 12-year-old category at this year’s Battle 4 the Ages tournament.

By Natalie gentry Springtown native Karen Lingle Kovach and her husband Ryan realized a dream when they opened Genesis Jiu Jitsu martial arts school on Main Street in Azle. “When we had our children we moved back to the area.” Kovach said. “I taught at Reno Elementary while I was pregnant with Dillinger.” Kovach taught preschool out of the house when Dillinger was a baby and spent a few years teaching and coaching volleyball at Lake Country Christian. “Coaching and teaching have always been my passions,” she said. However, the scope of her passions changed and expanded when Dillinger turned four.

winning all of the tournaments to find out who would win.” The couple decided to host the tournament that would be categorized “open weight.” The goal was to find out who was the best kid at each age. And so Battle 4 the Ages (BFA) was born. The tournament has been a hit and Genesis Jiu Jitsu has done well in it. This year Dillinger, Jadon Hellerud, Mason Woodward, and Dillon Hinojosa all performed well at the tournament, Kovach said. “We have several outstanding athletes in our school,” she noted. Kovach herself has brought home various titles including a regional tournament that qualifies her for a national tournament in October.

Starting out The couple became involved with martial arts about eight years ago when they enrolled Dillinger in classes. “Once Dillinger got into Jui Jit-

su, Ryan brought up the idea of he and I taking classes,” Kovach said. “He was like ‘we’re here all the time anyway, let’s train with him.” At first Kovach merely looked at the classes as a way to learn self-defense and stay fit. Then, she says, her competitive nature came out and she knew she wanted this to be more than just a workout. “When a person has a goal or something they are training for they are so much more focused,” she said. That was in 2012. Getting involved Later that year, Dillinger won the title of Kid Competitor of the Year in the Texas Mixed Martial Arts (MMA) poll. Kovach said she had never heard of the poll until she saw a parent complaining about the fact that her child wasn’t included on the list of children to be considered. “I was like ‘what is this list?”

Kovach said. “So I went to look at it and almost fell over – Dillinger made the list!” Kovach was surprised to see her son’s name because he was just beginning to be noticed at tournaments. Part of the poll includes a popularity vote where people vote for the kids online. Kovach said Dillinger won in part because of UFC champion Bas Rutten. Dillinger has communicated with the MMA fighter for years. “Dillinger will ask him for tips – they just hit it off,” Kovach said. “When Bas found out that Dillinger was on this list his votes shot up to 219.” Enough to win this part of the poll as well. “Well there was so much controversy about the list in general and so many parents were getting kind of ugly, saying that their kids were the best,” she said. “So Ryan came up with the idea of an invite-only tournament for the kids who were

E L Z A LIQUORS

“Ryan has been the driving force behind all of this,” Kovach said. “And opening this school allows me to combine my loves of teaching children and staying fit.” Genesis Jiu Jitsu of Azle allows her to continue teaching – just in a different capacity. The school operates in conjunction with others in the Fort Worth area – all of which are focused on mutual respect in a family environment. “We are very much a family martial arts school,” Kovach said. “It is a controlled environment that teaches discipline and self-confidence.” In short, the Kovaches don’t just teach grappling; they want to instill in their Opening their school The couple soon decided that students that martial arts and they wanted to make the full fitness is a lifestyle worth commitment and open their pursuing.

The third of five 2014 supermoons made its appearance July 12. A supermoon is a rare occurrence of a full moon within 90 percent of its approach to Earth. The satellite’s orbit will bring the moon closest to earth this year on August 10. A third supermoon arrives September 9. Conversely, the moon in 2014 will be farthest from the Earth on July 28.

Area sales tax revenue up slightly by carla noah stutsman If sales tax revenue is an indication of how the economy is doing, things are looking up in most cities around the Azle and Springtown area. Texas Comptroller Susan Combs is distributing $603 million in monthly sales tax revenue to local governments in July. Combs said state sales tax revenue in June was $2.24 billion, up 3.7 percent compared to June 2013. She will send cities, counties, transit systems, and special purpose taxing districts their July local sales tax allocations totaling $602.5 million, up 4.2 percent compared to July 2013. The sales tax figures represent monthly sales made May. Locally, every city and special purpose district, as well as Parker County, recognized an increase in June when compared with June – except one: Pelican Bay. The Bay’s monthly revenue of $1,552 is 8.32 percent less than its July, 2013 revenue of $1,693. However, its yearto-date revenue of $11,565 remains up 4.98 percent compared with the same period in 2013, in which it had collected $11,016. At the opposite end of the spectrum, the town of Lakeside received $8,915 in July, which represents a 42.38 percent increase from July 2013 revenues of $6,261. Year-to-date, the town has received $101,417, 134.17 percent more than the $43,417 it collected in the first seven months of 2013. Much of Lakeside’s increases are attributable to a one percent sales tax increase passed by Lakeside voters last year. The city of Springtown saw a 5.03 percent increase from July 2013 revenues of $72,671 with a July check of $76,328. Springtown’s year-to-date revenues remain down 2.57 percent this year, with $505,648 collected so far, compared with $518,990 collected during the first seven months of 2013. The city of Reno received $7,254 for July, a 12.84 percent increase from its July 2013 revenue of $6,428. That increase, however, is not enough to bring the city even with its 2013 yearto-date collections through July of $47,910. It’s current year-todate revenues are 5.96 percent less, at $45,050. In Sanctuary, July revenues of $1,216 are up 22.43 percent from $993 in July 2013. It’s year-to-date revenue of $7,780 is also above 2013 totals of $7,722. In the city of Azle, July sales tax revenue of $183,026 is up 3.97 percent from July 2013, when it received $176,030. Year-to-date, the city is up 0.77 percent with $1,232,410 compared with $1,222,974 for the first seven months of 2013. Azle’s Crime Control and Prevention District received

Fiscal year-to-date collections have now grown by 5.2 percent.” For details of July sales tax allocations to individual cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose districts, locate the Monthly Sales Tax Allocation Comparison Summary Reports on the Comptroller’s website at www.window.state. tx.us/taxinfo/allocsum/compsum.html.

sales tax revenue of $34,005 in July, up 0.75 percent from its July 2013 revenue of $33,752. On the year, however, the CCPD is still down by 0.34 percent, with $228,469 as compared with $229,261 at this time last year. Azle Municipal Development District, still in its inaugural year, recorded $32,658 in July, bringing its year-to-date revenue to $218,310.

Parker County’s July revenue of $601,776 is 8.36 percent more than its July 2013 revenue of $555,343. The county’s yearto-date revenue is up 6.7 percent from $3,822,642 through July 2013 to $4,079,135. “Sales tax revenues continue to grow at a moderate pace,” Combs said. “The increase was led by remittances from the wholesale trade, services, and restaurant sectors.

Texas Sales Tax Holiday Aug. 8-10 Texas Comptroller Susan Combs announced that the annual Sales Tax Holiday is Friday-Sunday, Aug. 8-10. Shoppers buying certain items priced under $100 do not have to pay sales tax. The law exempts most clothing, footwear, school supplies and backpacks. That saves shoppers about $8 on every $100 they spend during the weekend. “Families gearing up for the new school year will not pay any sales tax for many back-toschool items ranging from pens

to blue jeans,” Combs said. “When the back-to-school list is long and the money is short, it can be difficult for Texas families. We hope this tax break will help ease that burden.” Lists of apparel and school supplies that may be purchased tax free can be found on the Comptroller’s website at www. TexasTaxHoliday.org. This year, shoppers will save an estimated $82.7 million in state and local sales taxes during the Sales Tax Holiday. The tax holiday weekend has been an annual event since 1999.

Area men indicted by Tarrant County Grand Jury by carla noah stutsman Among several local persons indicted by Tarrant County Grand Juries in May, two were men who wreaked havoc in Azle in separate and unrelated incidents; both received multiple charges. Gary Ricky Paul Underwood, 35, of Springtown, was indicted May 5 for evading arrest or detention with a vehicle and for burglary of a habitation. Underwood, suspected of being one of several people involved in numerous residential burglaries in Parker, Tarrant and Wise Counties, on March 21 led Azle police on a highspeed pursuit that traversed the city from east to west before winding through Reno and ending north of Azle on FM 730

North when Underwood lost control of his car. His Oldsmobile Alero overturned and caught fire, and Underwood tried to escape on foot through a field. However, officers quickly took him into custody. Both the evading arrest charge and the burglary charged were filed by Azle police. Underwood remains in the Tarrant County jail in lieu of $175,010 for various charges, including the two mentioned above. Robert Rubin Garza III, 27, of La Junta, was indicted May 14 on three counts of assault on a public servant as well as for criminal mischief $1,500-20,000. The indictments stem from an incident that occurred on the night of April 5 in the parking lot of the Azle Police Depart-

ment at 613 Southeast Parkway. Garza allegedly plowed his green 1997 Ford Escort into an Azle PD vehicle. Telling two officers he had rammed the vehicle on purpose, Garza allegedly refused to surrender to the officers. Even after deploying a Tazer to try to stop him, the officers were unable to subdue him. Two additional officers came to aid the first two officers who were scuffling with Garza. It took all four officers to get Garza into handcuffs and restraints, according to PD spokesperson Cpl. Zach Hatton. Two of the officers were injured during the struggle with Garza; one has yet to return to work because of a severe knee injury. Garza remains in the Tarrant County jail in lieu of $47,500 bond.

Other area residents indicted: • Johnny Don Adkisson, 63, of Azle, was indicted May 1 on a charge of unauthorized discharge of waste. The offense allegedly occurred Feb. 26.
