Two major buildings are included in the vote: a Career and Technology Education (CATE) center and a new competitive/performance gymnasium. Required sprinkler system will also be part of the bond.

Blaisdell pulls trigger on retirement APD vet to become Tarrant County DA investigator By CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN After a storied 28-year career in law enforcement – 23 of those years with the Azle Police Department – Lt. Lee Blaisdell has announced his retirement effective Aug. 23. But at the tender age of 46, the veteran cop isn’t throwing down the badge. He’s embarking on what he thinks may be the best opportunity of his lifetime. Blaisdell was recently hired to be an investigator with the Tarrant County District Attorney’s Office, a position he has been eyeing for several years. “It’s a difficult job to get, and it’s not a job anyone ever leaves for a better one,” Blaisdell said. “I’m excited, but I’m also a little nervous and I’m sad to be leaving here – this is my home.” Growing up Lee Blaisdell grew up in Azle in a family that taught him to love law enforcement and to love the water. He’s a 1985 graduate of Azle High School. His father, Jerry Blaisdell, retired a captain from the Fort Worth Police Department in 1985 following a

notable career as an undercover narcotics cop. Then he served as Weatherford Police Chief for seven years before becoming Weatherford’s city manager, a position he still holds. Lee and his younger brother, Bruce, both decided as young men barely out of high school to follow in their father’s footsteps. Their sister, Shannon, is the only sibling that didn’t take the law enforcement route. Bruce, a longtime Fort Worth Police Officer, is currently assigned to the North Texas High Intensity Drug Trafficking Area (North Texas HIDTA) task force. Living near several lakes afforded the Blaisdell family lots of opportunities to fish and boat, and when he’s not chasing bad guys, Blaisdell has always enjoyed being on the water.

Man found dead in apparent drowning Authorities say victim was reported missing earlier the same day By CHRIS AGEE Tarrant County Sheriff’s deputies responded to a reported drowning Aug. 12 on Power Squadron Road near Pelican Bay. While Tarrant Regional Water District officers ultimately had jurisdiction in the case, the drowning victim was identified as a missing person in a case deputies were investigating. “We got the call at 7:57 [that] morning,” said TCSO spokesman Terry Grisham. “We received another call at 7:45, just a few minutes prior. The caller said her husband was missing; he had been camping for two days. We opened a missing persons report at that time.” At first, he said, authorities could not definitively determine whether the two cases were related.

Career Lt. Blaisdell has seen many sides of law enforcement, from jail operations to an intense three-year assignment to the Tarrant County Auto Theft Task Force. PLEASE SEE AZLE, PAGE 3A.

“Not until the M.E. made positive identification,” he explained. “We determined the deceased individual in the lake was the person we were looking for.” The Tarrant County Medical Examiner’s Office identified the victim as Aaron Winterberg, 36, of Tarrant County. He died near a boat dock in the 10900 block of Power Squadron Road at 8:18 a.m., according to the report. As of Aug. 13, a cause or manner of his death had not been officially determined. According to a TRWD incident summary report, officers received a report around 8 a.m. describing a person laying face down on Eagle Mountain Lake. Upon arrival, officers observed the individual floating in shallow water. He was pronounced dead by a member of the Azle PLEASE SEE MISSING, PAGE 2A.

Champion bull rider brings rodeo to Wild West Arena By CHRIS AGEE A day of rodeo action is set for Aug. 24 at the Wild West Arena in Azle. The Azle Bulls and Barrels event kicks off with barrel races at 3 p.m., according to promoter Kelly Clark of Chute 2 Productions. At 5 p.m., Azle Christian School is sponsoring mutton busting, and the main event bull-riding exhibition is set to begin at 7 p.m. “It’s real, live bull riding and it’s going to be one block off of Main Street in downtown Azle, Texas,” he said. While he has brought similar shows to neighboring communities, Clark said this will be his first Azle event. “We’ve done a couple on the other side of the lake [in] Haslett and Justin,” he said. “Both of the mayors talk

A champion bull rider, Clark said he has been promoting such sporting events for the past two decades and looks forward to sharing the fun with this community. In addition to activities inside the arena, a bounce house and local vendors will be set up on the property. Gates open at 2 p.m. and admission is $7 for adults.

$20 million bond election up for vote Nov. 5 n $20 MILLION, FROM PAGE ONE.

crammed AHS quarters where automotive students still manage to produce state award-winning projects. Lea told the crowd that some facilities at AHS are 60 years old. A committee of citizens pondering long-range needs for the AISD toured the Auto Tech area and were astonished that Azle students could perform at such a high level in such conditions, the superintendent said. That 2010 Long Range Facility Planning Committee – whose entire report can be reviewed at azleisd.net – listed what they considered the 18 most crucial needs in the district, Lea said. No. 1 – a new tech and career center. No. 2 – a district-wide technological upgrade No. 3 – a new gym The second issue has been addressed and is not part of the November bond, Lea said. The new gym will do far more than Azle ISD superintendent Dr. Ray Lea addresses those attending the annual Gold Card luncheon, informing just be a place for sports, Lea said. “Right now, there is no place in the group of the details of an upcoming bond election. Photos by Mark K. Campbell the district where we can get all our

students in one place,” he said. Assemblies and pep rallies require students to not only fill both sides of the bleachers – home and pull-out visitors stands – but rows of students sometimes seven deep sit on the floor. Lea said already over $16 million in upgrades have been performed since 2007 on every campus in AISD. The bond is separate from those improvements. Athletic director Scott Anderson told the Gold Card holders that the new indoor facility and improved sound, lights, and turf at Hornet Field would help the scholastic experience of all district students. The indoor facility, due to be finished in early September, will actually help with traffic on football Friday nights, he said. A shuttle system from the northernmost parking lot will begin this year. Those who elect to walk from that distant lot will now have a lighted, concrete area to traverse adjacent to the new building; no longer will attendees have to negotiate the grassy expanse from the lot to Hornet Field.

Fire Department a short time later. As of Aug. 13, officers explained the investigation is ongoing and no additional details were available. The medical examiner’s report will determine whether additional investigation is warranted, though Grisham said

the TCSO’s involvement ended with the closure of its missing person case. “We have jurisdiction on some parts of the shore,” he said, indicating TRWD will handle any further investigation deemed necessary. “If [the medical examiner] saw anything that looked like foul play, the water district would follow up on that.”

Azle PD officer announces retirement to become Tarrant County DA investigator n AZLE, FROM PAGE ONE.

While at the Azle PD, he’s worked for five police chiefs – Marvin Ivy, Jerry Guillory, Craig Lemin, Steve Myers, and Randy Reed. He also worked for interim police chiefs Vernon Leonard, Norman Ott, and Greg Arrington, and even served a six-month stint as interim police chief himself during the transition between Myers and Reed. In 23 years at Azle PD, Blaisdell says the thing that’s changed the most and has a huge improvement has been the technology. “I can’t tell you how many hours I’ve spent sitting in a patrol car in the middle of the night, writing reports with just a dome light, an ink pen and paper,” Blaisdell said. “Now, everything is done by computer – type it up, press a button and it’s sent where it needs to go. Some things, like the video camera systems in the patrol cars – our officers don’t even turn them on because they’re completely automated and come on when the door is unlocked.” Another improvement since those early days has been the pay. “I think my first full paycheck, my take-home pay for two weeks was $543,” Blaisdell said. “Of course, that was 23 years ago, and I was a rookie, but I had a wife and a family to feed.” Cops all have their stories, and Blaisdell is no exception. He’s seen it all – from hardened criminals to just plain stupid ones, and from unbelievable to downright funny situations. He’s worked more drunk drivers and fatality accidents than he cares to remember. But it’s always the kids that get to him. The fire In one of his life’s greatest ironies, the event that earned the most recognition for Lt. Lee Blaisdell in the line of duty is also the one that haunts him – even now.

Just days after returning to patrol duty following completing his assignment to the Tarrant County Auto Theft Task Force, Blaisdell happened to be in the dispatch center while working the midnight shift. He listened as a 911 call came in and heard just enough to know the house at 1104 Idlewood was on fire. It was about 2:45 a.m. on May 24, 1995. Blaisdell was familiar with the address – Azle police had been there many times. Sue Flewelling lived there with her 36-year-old son, Arthur Grecian, 24-year-old daughter, Molly, an eightmonth-old granddaughter, Stefinie, grandsons Steven Daugherty, 8, Kevin Daugherty, 4, and adopted daughters, Katy Flewelling, 15, and Amy Flewelling, 21, and about 50 cats. Both Katy and Amy Flewelling suffered from cerebral palsy, and Amy was bedridden. Allegations of squalid living conditions were being investigated by Azle police as well as Child Protective Services. Blaisdell jumped into his cruiser and was at the Flewelling house in less than a minute. When he arrived, he said the black smoke was so thick he was afraid he might hit a parked car as he pulled in. He found a dazed Sue Flewelling sitting on the curb. She didn’t respond when he asked if all the kids were out of the house. With a voice that cracked almost imperceptibly at times, Blaisdell recounted the longest few minutes that occurred next. He tried three times to go through the front door but was driven out each time by the heat and smoke. He asked a neighbor to soak a large towel in water and wrapped his head in it to try again. Fellow officer, Richard Martinez arrived just then. Martinez was very familiar with the inside layout of the Flewelling house and thought they’d

have a better chance by going through the back door. Blaisdell and Martinez jumped the fence into the backyard and took turns crawling through the residence, looking for the children. The heat would drive one out, and the other would go right in. It was on about the sixth try that Blaisdell found Amy, grabbed her ankles and started pulling her toward the back door. He pulled until he just couldn’t anymore. Martinez went back in and was able to get Amy to the back door. Azle firefighters had arrived meanwhile, and the paramedics took over with CPR. Amy was taken by CareFlite air ambulance to Parkland Hospital in Dallas for treatment, but was removed from life support the following day. Arthur Grecian was not at the home at the time of the fire. Sue and Molly Flewelling and 8-month-old Stefinie escaped the fire without serious injury. But besides Amy, Katy Flewelling and Steven and Kevin Daugherty all perished in the fire. Blaisdell and Martinez were named the Azle Police Department’s Officers of the Year, largely as a result of their heroism that night. The fire chief at the time, Bobby Fowler, wrote a commendation describing the actions of the two officers at the fire, which somehow found its way to the attention of then Senator Pete Geren. Geren awarded Blaisdell and Martinez with the Congressional Medal of Valor for their bravery in trying to save those remaining in the house. While he admits being a recipient of a Congressional Medal of Valor is a really big deal, Blaisdell says he just wishes he and

Martinez could have gotten those kids out alive. On the one-year anniversary of the fire, Blaisdell went to Ash Creek Cemetery to visit the graves of those whose lives he could not save, and found there were no stones marking their final resting places. He himself raised money, and with the family’s permission, purchased head stones for the graves and had them installed. The officer J. R. Jones, who retired from the Azle Police Department in 2004, has some serious and not-so-serious memories of working with Blaisdell. Having come to Azle after a long career with the Denison PD, Jones says he’d been around long enough to recognize police officers who just wanted to collect a paycheck. “Lee is one of those few who obviously wanted to make a difference; he has always been dedicated to his job,” Jones said. “Honestly, that showed even more when he became the department’s canine officer. The way he trained and cared for Cokie (Azle’s first canine) showed his dedication to the job and to his partner.” There was a down side to Blaisdell’s dedication, though, in Jones’ mind. “When I was a detective and it was my turn to be on-call, the first thing I always did was check the schedule of the other officers,” Jones said. “I can’t tell you how many times I’d say ‘Dang it! Lee Blaisdell’s working the midnight shift again – that means I won’t be getting any sleep tonight!’” Jones said he might as well just stay

up all night, because Blaisdell was “always into something,” and would be calling at all hours of the night. Other officers agree Blaisdell simply has “a nose” for criminals. The plan Blaisdell and his wife of 12 years, Karen, have been going to the Rockport area on the Texas coast for years and love it there. The couple has five children: Nicole, 30; Tim, 24; LeeAnn, 22; Ryan, 19 and Daniel, also 19. But they seem to have flown the coop – in fact, the Blaisdell’s are now enjoying a granddaughter and two step-granddaughters. They’re looking ahead and making plans. “Rather than buying real estate, we’ve decided – okay, my wife would say I decided – to buy a boat,” Blaisdell says, admitting he’s already owned several. “This one will be a 30foot cruising boat that will sleep six or eight people, and we plan to keep it in a slip in Rockport.” That will enable the couple – with friends and/or family in tow – to get away more often, since they’ll have a place to stay instead of renting hotel rooms. He plans to christen the boat the Thin Blue Line. The party A reception in Blaisdell’s honor will be held Thursday, Aug. 22, from 2-3:30 p.m. in council chambers at Azle City Hall, 613 Southeast Parkway in Azle. The public is invited to stop by, enjoy refreshments and convey farewell wishes to Lt. Blaisdell.

Senior Spotlight By Darlene Holmes I had a few days off this month and it was nice not to have to hit the floor running for a while, but it’s good to get back to a routine again. I missed everyone and the routine – I haven’t known what day it was since I was off. I didn’t need to as I wasn’t going anywhere or have to be anywhere. And I know the center was in capable hands. Special thanks to Sue Turnipseed and all of my wonderful volunteers here as well as Madra. Thanks to all of you. This was a busy week with Wednesday’s birthday and anniversary party and Friday’s business meeting and Produce Day.

Coming up next week is White Elephant bingo right after lunch on Tuesday, Aug. 20. You must eat lunch and bring a prize gift to play. The center dance will be held Wednesday, Aug. 21 at 10 a.m. We have started a sign-up sheet at the center for our Balance Class which will be held for eight weeks from 9-11 a.m. in the Emanuel Building.

The History of Food Trucks in three playlets

ome things you just don’t see coming. I never imagined tattoos. On girls. Or facial piercings. On anyone. Bottled water. Five dollar coffees. People now pay big money to buy jeans that are already torn! As curious as all these were/are, the weirdest of all the things that I never thought would become popular but somehow did is food trucks. Some guy drives up and parks this previously condemned pile of junk, throws open the side, and says he’s selling Thai food. Or cupcakes. Or soup. Soup! Out of a truck! In former generations, there where

two kinds of trucks that contained food – the ice cream man drove one and some scraggly dude piloted the other food truck, arriving around noon at whatever construction site or warehouse you happened to work at. Now that I have grandchildren, I again pursue ice cream trucks. You might not know this, but a dime will no longer buy a Popcicle. It takes a bunch of them. It goes like this: ME: Does that say $2.95 for a Popcicle?! ICE CREAM MAN: Yes. They’re on sale. GRANDCHILD: I want a Mario ice cream cookie sandwich! ME: (reading) Six bucks! ICE CREAM MAN: Not on sale. GRANDCHILD: Poppy, just use your card thingie.

Campbell ferent with the “roach coach” and its metallic flaps that open and feed rugged construction workers/ warehousemen too far from a place to get real food. ME: What you got? SCRAGGLY DUDE: The usual.

ME: And that’s…? SCRAGGLY DUDE: I’m not sure; it’s wrapped in foil – like everything else. ME: Was it made today? SCRAGGLY DUDE: Possibly. ME: You don’t know! SCRAGGLY DUDE: You want something or not? ME: I guess. (pointing) That one. SCRAGGLY DUDE: Oh, man, not that one. Today, there are exotic food trucks, some manned by supposed gourmet chefs. Who could possibly know what goes on inside a food truck? CHEF: Welcome to my gourmet soup truck! ME: Soup...from a truck. CHEF: I know, right!? I left the classiest French restaurant for this. I’ve broken the ties of the bourgeoisie!

ME: Yeah, they’re jerks. I assume. Well, you showed them. Making soup…from a truck. CHEF: Oui! That’s why I call it Let Them Eat Soup. I have 50 different kinds. ME: How about some chicken noodle? CHEF: For real? Dang! I have soups made with truffles and unicorn horns and that’s your pick out of 50 soups? Cinquante! ME: Please don’t cracher in it. CHEF: Trop en retard! ME: I knew that was going to bite me in the derriere. Mark K.

Azle ISD focused on New look, old barn teaching with technology, modern methods in 2013-14

n behalf of everyone associated with the Azle Independent School District, we would like to welcome everyone back to the 2013-2014 school year. We are all deeply appreciative of the parents who entrust their children to attend school at Azle. We would like to share just a few innovative programs that we will be offering this year. The teaching staff at Azle is dedicated to providing highly engaging work for students that will enable them to learn at profound levels. Teachers have been trained to incorporate design qualities into the work which makes the lessons more relevant and meaningful to their students. Classroom teachers strive for excellence and their goal is to prepare their students with the knowledge and skills necessary to thrive in the twenty-first century workplace. In order to make work engaging for students, teachers must first understand the likes and interests of their students. Teachers are encouraged to learn what motivates individual students and how they learn best. We call this, “Know Your Who.” The world is rapidly changing. Students in school today learn differently than any other time in history. Most students come to school highly skilled in technology applications and have access to unlimited information. This year, we will provide an iPad for every junior high and high school student. In addition, each elementary school will have over 150 iPads for teacher and student use. We believe

that access to this new tablet technology will better prepare our students for the digital jobs they will enter after they finish their education. M a n y GUEST COLUMN teachers at Azle have Dr. Ray Lea attended a new innovative training entitled, “Engaging the Net Generation.“ This training will assist teachers to implement tablet technology into their classrooms in the most efficient manner possible. We believe that this cutting edge approach will revolutionize the way students learn at Azle ISD. Further, teachers will also be learning how to best utilize iTunes University. Over the next three years, students will be able to access their coursework via iTunes U 24/7. Parents can view class assignments so they can better assist their children. At Azle, we are extremely proud of our outstanding Career and Technology (CTE) programs. For example, our Automotive Technology students have won many state awards in many categories. We offer Microsoft certifications which allow business minded students to be more marketable. We now offer Pharmaceutical Technology classes where by students can complete the course and take the state

exam and go right to work as a pharmacy tech. This year, pharmacy tech students will work at local pharmacies to add a real world component to this program. New CTE programs this year include a Practicum of Business Extension of our Business Information Management courses. The students will go in the community and participate in job shadowing in the private sector. These students will also produce video messages from the faculty to the student body. Additional new courses include Audio/Visual Production, Graphic Design using Macintosh technology, Treatment of Small Animals with Injuries, Correctional Services certification, and Culinary classes which earn Serve/Safe certifications. Each spring, Azle ISD invites parents and grandparents to our annual Showcase. At the Showcase, students present their best lessons for the year. Community members can see firsthand the quality work produced from pre-kindergarten students all the way through twelfth grade. Subjects range from math, science, language arts, physical education, social studies, computers, fine arts, etc. So, as we kick off this new school year, remember, it takes a whole village to raise a child. Ask your principal if you can volunteer at school. Ask any student what they are learning. You will see that Azle kids are learning at higher levels and are being challenged more than ever before. Dr. Ray Lea is the superintendent of the Azle Independent School District.

Election of James K. Polk in 1844 changed U.S. history

have a book where 20 historians each related an event that changed U.S. history. One that definitely concerns the West was the presidential election of 1844. If anyone has ever thought that it does not really matter who is elected president, perhaps the results of the election of 1844 should change his/her mind. Leading candidates in the spring of 1844 were Henry Clay, a Whig, and Martin Van Buren, a Democrat. There was no Republican Party yet. Van Buren previously had served as president from 1837 to 1841 and wanted to be back in office after four years out. Both Clay and Van Buren opposed the annexation of Texas. John C. Calhoun, newly appointed Secretary of State by then president John Tyler, linked together the issues of the annexation of Texas and settling the Oregon boundary issue with Britain. Calhoun and Tyler attempted to unite Southerners and Westerners against

THE

the North. James K. Polk, a Democrat, had been a Congressman from Tennessee for 14 years, beginning in 1825, before leaving the House to run for governor. He served one two-year term before being defeated twice by Whig candidates. Polk wrote a letter that appeared in a prominent newspaper just before the Democratic convention that he supported the annexation of Texas. The aging former president Andrew Jackson, also from Tennessee, called Polk to his home, the Hermitage, and told him the Democratic nominee must support annexation. Because Van Buren, a New Yorker, was not for it, Jackson told Polk he should seek the presidential nomination. Polk told Jackson that he had "never aspired so high." When the Democrats met in Baltimore in late May 1844, they had trouble selecting a candidate. Southern Democrats didn't want Van Buren because of his stance on Texas. The

and a wire had been strung connecting the Baltimore railroad depot with the Capitol in Washington. Morse helped in the transmission to let them know. Early in the race Polk announced that if he were elected he would serve only one term and not seek re-election. The Whigs were stunned at Polk's nomination, and their partisan newspapers asked "Who is James K. Polk?" With no radios, television, Twitter, or telephones reminding people to vote, the campaign played out in partisan newspapers. When Polk defeated Henry Clay, the Whig, the current president Tyler took that as a mandate from the people for annexation of Texas, so he started the process. However, it became official December 29, 1845 when President Polk signed an act of Congress. To explain why this election and this one-term president changed America tremendously, note these facts: • Texas entered the Union • the Oregon Territory dispute with Editor Mark K. Campbell

Britain was settled, and the area below the 49th parallel became a part of the U.S. • Mexico challenged the Texas border and fought a war with the U.S. (1846 to 1848) that brought the entire southwest into the Union (future states of New Mexico, Arizona, Colorado, Utah, Nevada, and California). Thomas Jefferson’s Louisiana Purchase in 1803 is the only comparison of so much territory added. Yes, Polk's one term of 1845-1849 achieved a great deal, and he was a darkhorse candidate not even placed into consideration for the presidency until the eighth ballot at the Democratic convention in 1844. Historian Robert W. Johannsen espoused the importance of the 1844 election in the book I mentioned. Retired history professor J’Nell Pate of Azle has authored several books, many of which are on sale in the lobby of the Azle News.

Road-funding legislation finally passes in Austin

third called session of the Texas Legislature began July 30 and ended Aug. 5 with the task completed: passage of legislation to create a new funding path for transportation projects. Given the contentiousness of the two previous called sessions that each lasted a full 30 days, lawmakers plowed their way to comparatively quick votes to give Gov. Rick Perry what he wanted. It’s a two-part solution. First, Senate Joint Resolution 1 by Sen. Robert Nichols, R-Jacksonville, is a proposed constitutional amendment that voters will see on the November 2014 ballot. SJR 1, should voters approve it, would take 50 percent of the state’s oil and gas severance taxes that normally are deposited in the state Economic Stabilization (“Rainy Day”) Fund and instead put that revenue into the

state highway fund. Second, House Bill 1 by Rep. Joe Pickett, D-El Paso, establishes a select committee on transportation funding, expenditures and finance. Committee membership would be made up of five House members and five Senate members to be appointed by the presiding officers of their respective chambers. The select committee will set a minimum balance each fiscal biennium for the Rainy Day Fund. Whatever the panel suggests as an amount then would need final approval by majority vote of both House and Senate. HB 1 also requires the Texas Department of Transportation to find a way to save at least $100 million in funds appropriated to the agency for 2014-15 and that money would be used to pay down the agency’s debt. Gov. Perry on Aug. 5 said the Legislature’s action “moves our state closer to securing a strong economy well into the future by providing more resources

for building and m a i n taining a transportation system that will keep our economy growing and our populaSTATE tion movCAPITAL ing.” HIGHLIGHTS L t . Gov. DaEd Sterling vid Dewhurst said, “This plan enables us to relieve congestion on Texas roadways while protecting our state's ‘AAA’ bond rating with a healthy balance in the Rainy Day Fund. To protect our Rainy Day fund, I am recommending a floor of $6 to $7 billion for the next two years.” During debate action on Aug. 5, lawmakers in both chambers

expressed concern over the condition of rural roads in their districts that are heavily traversed by oil and gas industry vehicles. They said the repair and restoration of those roads should be high priority. Tax revenue increases Texas Comptroller Susan Combs on Aug. 7 announced that state sales tax revenue in July was $2.2 billion, up 7.3 percent compared to July 2012. “Texas sales tax revenue has increased for 40 consecutive months,” Combs said. “The retail trade sector bolstered the latest growth in monthly revenue, and collections from the construction and the oil and natural gas sectors continued to show strength.” Combs said her agency would send cities, counties, transit systems and special purpose taxing districts their August local sales tax allocations totaling $671 million, up 6.2 percent compared to August 2012.

Letter to the Editor Leaders are exempt from Obamacare?! Dear Editor: If memory serves me correctly, President-elect Barack Obama in 2008 lamented President George W. Bush and his administration as untruthful to the American people. In the same breath, he extolled that his presidency and administration “would be the most transparent to ever occupy the White House.” Well, five redoubtable years later, we now learn that Obama and his minions – the elected

lawmakers and their staffs – are exempt from the new mandate of the Affordable Healthcare Care Act, while the average Joe six-pack has to fend for himself. As my Jewish brother would say: “That takes a lot of ‘chutzpah.” But why the shock? This administration has been the most scandal-ridden ever. And, of course, if the same incantation comes across the other political aisle, it’s George W. Bush’s fault. Or – the best one – if I disagree, I’m a racist or, using the latest fashionable accusation, a homophobe. Is this country going in the wrong direction? You bet it is. Joseph Bryan Fort Worth

'Fracking' is credited Texas Railroad Commissioner Christi Craddick last week told the American Legislative Exchange Council about the importance of hydraulic fracturing technology during the lobbying group’s annual meeting in Chicago. Among her comments, Craddick said “fracking” is estimated to be used in about 80 percent of new wells completed in Texas today, and, “For almost 50 years, OPEC has manipulated oil markets, holding the United States captive to their supply-and price-setting whims. Thanks to fracking technology, America is moving closer to fulfilling its energy needs domestically.”

miles an hour below the posted limit when approaching Texas Department of Transportation workers and vehicles that are stopped with overhead flashing blue or amber lights, the agency announced last week. TxDOT Executive Director Phil Wilson lauded the Legislature for passing a law that recognizes the dangers agency employees face each day. “We are hopeful that this new protection for our crews will lead to fewer preventable deaths and injuries,” Wilson said. On roadways with posted speed limits of 25 miles per hour or less drivers must reduce their speed to 5 miles per hour and violators can be fined up to $2,000.

Azle 2013 FB starts

Former Hornet to play for Houston Bapt. by mark k. campbell A standout lineman from Azle will help Houston Baptist University get its Division I football program off the ground. Lincoln Roquemore will be vying for a starting job when the Huskies take to the gridrion in its inaugural seven-game schedule this fall. Roquemore is a product of Azle football from his young days when he played in the Azle Youth Association back in 2002. He has come a long way from making circles in the dirt and complaining about how hot it was, parents Derrell and Bernadette recalled. Before choosing Houston Baptist, Roquemore visited a trio of football camps and a pair of “top gun” camps in Virginia. He also showed his stuff at the U.S. Army All-American Combine in San Antonio. Roquemore received an invite from Stanford University, too. He ventured to Australia and played all-star football there. While a Hornet senior, Roquemore was elected team captain and was picked as the Offensive Player of the Year on the AHS squad as well as a 5-4A First Team All-District selection. In his final two years in Azle, Roquemore was Academic AllDistrict.

Roquemore picked up a ring when he played in the 2013 East West All-Star Classic game. His dreams don’t stop at playing at the collegiate level, his parents said. Roquemore aspires to reach the NFL.

Stormy weather only briefly delayed the first-ever Midnight Madness event that kicked off the Azle High School’s football season. Scores of Hornets and coaches hit the field about 10 minutes after midnight for the first official two-a-day practice. It’s all part of head coach Devon Dorris’ efforts to install “Hornet Pride” back into the program, the kind of “community, school, and family” love of the game that he enjoyed when he played here in the early 1990’s, he said. Certainly, the Azle program is on the upswing. As Dorris begins his fourth year as the Hornet leader, the gridiron programs at all levels of high school competition have improved. In 2010, AHS’ combined freshman ‘A’, JV ‘A’, and varsity teams went 9-21. The next year, the total record improved to 19-11. Lincoln Roquemore and Last season, the mark rose to his all-star ring. a shining 24-6, including a perfect record for the junior varsity and a playoff appearance for the varsity. That illustrates just what Dorris was seeking when he took the job: “It shows we’ve been consistent in what we do. We keep them in the program.” Coordination skills are just part of the conditioning Hornets are going through durAzle will scrimmage Mineral ing two-a-days on the new field turf. Photo by Mark K.

Love connection in this family feud put in jeopardy The Movie Man chose the comedy We’re the Millers over a science-fiction movie, Elysium, this week. It was a bad move. About the film WtM appealed to the Movie Man because he was hoping for a good comedy to come around again. He must admit he was swayed by a guy on the radio who’s usually a good judge of humor, saying it was one of the five funniest movies he’d ever seen. Oh, dear. We’ve talked before about the effectiveness of some movies improving when seen with a large crowd. (That’s yet another reason that movie theaters will always be around – people want to go out and experience an event corporately and that’s not going to happen in front of your 100inch LED TV alone in the den.) Horror movies and comedies especially benefit from group gatherings. The guy who loved WtM said his theater was packed and there was much laughter. The crowd with the Movie Man was big, too; but riotous laughter didn’t come – rightfully so. The Movie Man has come around on Jennifer Aniston. For a long time, he called her “box office poison” which was true. But she’s a good actor and pretty brave recently. She was one reason the Movie Man headed to WtM. Another was Jason Sudeikis. He just left Saturday Night Live and was part of a recent solid group there, almost all of whom have exited now. (This fall’s SNL is must-see TV just to see if a newly-infused cast can hang in there or if 2013-14 becomes the bridesmaid to what is far and away the worst SNL cast/season, 1985-86. [Despite Joan Cusack, Robert Downey, Jr., and Randy Quaid – “real actors” – and funny guys Jon Lovitz and Dennis Miller, that season stunk. Dana Carvey and Phil Hartman saved SNL the next season.]) Sudeikis, like gone SNL co-

horts Bill Hader, Will Forte, and Andy Samberg, is funny. He seems like a guy who can have a film career. Of course, that’s what was said of Aniston who struggled to find big screen success. Her list of limp romantic comedies is long, including The Break-Up (2006), Love Happens (2009), The Bounty Hunter (2010), and Just Go With It (2011). However, Aniston has slogged her way out of romcom Hades by playing against type. She was evil in Horrible Bosses (2011) and is somewhat again in WtM. The Movie Man is ready to declare that Aniston is no longer box office poison. Here’s to hoping Sudeikis doesn’t have to fight that battle. The plot David (Sudeikis) is a smalltime drug dealer. In his apartment building live snooty stripper Rose (Aniston) and a nerd, Kenny (Will Poulter), who worships Sudeikis. When Sudeikis is robbed of his stash and cash, big-time drug dealer Brad (Ed Helms), insists on his $40,000. Since Sudeikis doesn’t have it, Helms sends Sudeikis to Mexico and, acting for “Pablo Chacon,” instructs him to pick up a “smidge” of pot for him. (That

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man smidge ends up being tons.) Sudeikis decides his best chance of passing back and forth across the border is with a family in an RV. He recruits a reluctant Aniston, a very willing Poulter, and a local homeless punk, Casey (Emma Roberts). At an armed compound in Mexico, they manage to get the gigantic stash. However, when the real Pablo Chacon arrives, the druggies discover the ruse and begin to pursue the RV. Just into America, the vehicle breaks down and the quartet are rescued by the square Fitzgeralds, also in an RV. At one point, the four get captured only to escape. Then everything comes to a head at a carnival, where Sudeikis’ rag-tag bunch has man-

He’s downright hilarious several times and the main reason for the lukewarm rating that was managed. A couple of situations work. There’s a horrifyingly bad guess by Aniston in a game of Pictionary.

Group floods Texans with drought-deflecting ideas by mark k. campbell This current drought is like no other in recent memory. The folks at Texas Water Smart call it “recordbreaking.” Already around here, people are doing their part to conserve water. Back in June, Stage 1 water restrictions were implemented by the Tarrant Regional Water District. Now comes the hottest stretch of the summer. That means even more pressure on existing water supplies. Droughts hurt. Homeowners lose investments in landscaping and gardening. Businesses see revenue drop which, in turn, has a an effect on the Texas economy and, eventually, the quality of life for Lone Star State residents. That makes water conservation an economic issue, Texas Water Smart noted in a release. Texans have a chance to vote on Proposition 6 this November which will provide funding for long-term water plans for the state. Even with a plan, the first line of defense is

water conversation, says Texas Water Smart members, comprised of public and private officials. The group, launched last year with over 135 legislative members and over 50 businesses, promotes pro-active steps to conserve water. Among the organization’s suggestions to conserve water: Water yards in morning and evening only. Adjust sprinklers to water lawns only. Check outdoor faucets, sprinklers, and hoses for leaks. Use a thick layer of mulch in planting beds. Use watering cans for patio plants. Water plants deeply but less frequently. Use irrigation or drip hoses for shrubs and trees. The current drought has lasted longer than any expert expected, Texas Water Smart noted. “Conserving water today not only helps ensure we have enough water for tomorrow but also helps ensure we have enough water for the next generation of Texans,” the group notes. For more information, visit www.TexasWaterSmart.com.

Springtown’s Walnut Creek (above) has been down for months and is even completely dry in many stretches. Ash Creek (left) in Azle is busy with minnows – when the small fish can find a pocket of water to flourish in these days.
