Addition embroiled in lawsuit fallout by carla noah stutsman Since February, more than 160 land owners in a local neighborhood have been the subject of a lawsuit filed by a fellow property owner.

Now, there is an effort underfoot by a small group of those land owners to form a Home Owners Association (HOA) in the neighborhood as a means of enforcing existing deed reservations, restrictions, and covenants.

And there’s yet another group of residents who simply don’t trust the motives or actions of anyone involved.

Ranchoaks Addition Phase II (RAPII) is located south of State Highway 199 just east of Azle. Its main thoroughfare is Tenderfoot Trail, with a number of courts shooting off in different directions.

While there are a few site-built homes in the subdivision, it’s mostly comprised of mobile homes of all sizes and descriptions.

The neighborhood’s “rough” reputation is largely due to a few bad apples – the violent torture and murder of 34-year-old Earnest Lackey by three men in July 2012 at a residence in the addition left many residents fearful – but most residents are honest, hardworking folks who take care of their modest homes and property.

It’s a story with at least three sides, and possibly more.

The problem, largely, is that no one is on the same page.

leading up to 1984 as a residential subdivision by Fort Worth engineer Gordon Swift.

Swift subdivided larger parcels of land into lots generally smaller than one acre each. With one 40-acre parcel remaining to be subdivided, he executed restrictive covenants applying to all the lots in the addition on Oct.

a lawsuit seeking only declaratory relief and no money, asserts that lot 27 passed to the estate of B.R. Flories, and later to Anson Financial, Inc. The company is represented by attorney Ian Ghrist.

The lawsuit “Quite likely, Mr. Flories passed 12021 Jacksboro, LLC is the owner of block 3, lot 27 in RAPII. PLEASE SEE LAWSUIT, PAGE 3A. The limited liability corporation, in 19, 1984.

But block 3, lot 27 was never subdivided into residential lots.

And that’s where things get tricky.

Some background RAPII was developed in the years

Burn ban issued in Tarrant County Restrictions to remain in place until Jan. 2015 by carla noah stutsman At the request of Tarrant County Fire Marshal Randy Renois, the Tarrant County Commissioners Court approved a ban on all outdoor burning Tuesday, Oct. 7.

The ban became effective immediately upon approval and prohibits all outdoor burning; it will be in place for the next 90 days or until approximately Jan. 7, 2015.

The unincorporated areas of Tarrant County have been determined to be under drought conditions by the Texas Forest Service.

These conditions prompted Renois to request the ban on outdoor burning in an effort to protect lives and properties of the residents in Tarrant County.

A violation of the Court Order Prohibiting Outdoor Burning is a class C Misdemeanor, punishable with a fine up to $500.

For information on outdoor cook-

ing and outdoor welding guidelines, visit www.tarrantcounty.com and click on the Burn Ban link on the right side of the page.

“We urge all residents of Tarrant County to help us during this time,” Renois said. “For our residents in the rural areas, we suggest you keep an area of approximately 30 feet mowed around your home and outbuildings to prevent a fire from reaching your structures.”

The ban is the first in Tarrant County since one was lifted Jan. 15, 2013.

Literally moments prior to the announcement of Tarrant County’s burn ban, firefighters from Parker County ESD1 and Azle Fire Department were dispatched to a large grass fire on Cindy Lane off Midway Road in the La Junta area.

With temperatures near 100 degrees, humidity at just 18 percent and wind gusts up to 25 miles per hour, conditions were prime for dangerous fires of all types.

Dotted around Ranchoaks Addition Phase II, among mostly modest but well-kept mobile homes, are egregious violations of the deed restrictions. Many land owners in the subdivision only recently became aware the deed restrictions existed.

Street tax on Nov. ballot Azle voters must decide whether to renew 1/4-cent tax for 4 years by carla noah stutsman Since September 2003, a voter-approved 1/4 of one percent sales tax has generated more than $3,929,187 for the purpose of repairing existing streets within the city of Azle.

The Street Maintenance Sales Tax must be adopted or “re-authorized” by an election in the city every four years.

The measure will appear on the ballot for Azle voters in the Nov. 4 Joint General and Special Elections.

Voters will decide whether to renew the existing tax for a fourth consecutive four-year term.

The quarter-cent tax rate amounts to 2.5 cents on a $10 purchase or 25 cents on a $100 purchase made inside the city limits – regardless of where the purchaser lives.

Therefore, residents living within the city of Azle do not bear the entire tax burden, and those living outside the city help pay for maintenance of the city streets on which they drive.

Revenue generated from the tax may only be used to maintain and repair existing streets, and may not be used to build new streets.

According to information provided by the city of Azle, 30 streets totaling more than 7.2 miles have been improved from January 2011 through September 2014 with funds generated from the tax.

An additional 1.3 miles of streets are scheduled for repair in the coming year at an estimated cost of $363,890.

The city uses both the reclamation and street overlay methods for major repairs of existing streets.

Streets to be repaired are first selected by Azle’s Traffic and Transportation Commission, which takes into account each street’s condition, traffic volume, width, city-wide impact, drainage problems, and total repair cost.

The commission makes its recommendations to the city council, which has final approval.

Kidd joins Bovea following VanderKaay’s departure by carla noah stutsman Azle police Officer Chance Kidd has been selected for the position of School Resource Officer (SRO) for the Azle Independent School District.

Kidd fills the position vacated by former Azle Officer David VanderKaay, who left recently for a position nearer to his home.

“My daughter is a senior in high school this year, and I really wanted to be closer so I can be more involved there,” VanderKaay said. “For the last nine years, I’ve spent more time with other peoples’ kids than I have my own, and it was just time to be with my family.”

Kidd, who attended school in Azle from grades 5 through 9, graduated high school in Port Aransas in 2005 and then returned to Azle to live.

He obtained an associate’s degree in criminal justice at Weatherford College and in 2009 was

chosen along with Officer Victoria Little to attend the Tarrant County College Police Academy.

Their tuition to the academy as well as a partial salary was funded by Azle’s Crime Control and Prevention District.

Kidd spent three years on patrol in the city before taking a teaching position at Azle High School where he instructed criminal justice while remaining a reserve officer with the Azle PD. He returned to the Azle PD in June 2013, and was soon selected to pilot the department’s “ghost” traffic vehicle.

He joins Cpl. Patrick Bovea, a 10-year veteran of the department with six years under his belt as an SRO. Kidd spent two full days training with Bovea and VanderKaay in school-specific activities, then another entire day with Bovea before his official first day as SRO on Sept. 16.

Bovea said the first two weeks Kidd was on the job, the pair arrested seven students for various offenses, but things have quietened down since then.

“I think it’s a good fit for me,” said Kidd – who, by the way, is an official if very recent newlywed. “I feel like I’ve got a good rapport with the ISD, and many of the students who knew VanderKaay also knew me as a teacher.”

He admits there will be things that come up in the course of everyday activities as an SRO he’ll have to learn about, but chalks it up to every situation being a little different.

District-wide, the SRO team of Bovea and Kidd is tasked with helping to provide a safe environment for employees as well as students at all 10 AISD campuses and to investigate incidents as necessary.

Churches meeting in Central Park On the first Wednesday of each month, two churches host Wednesdays Gone Wild.

The Church at Azle and Crossing Fellowship combine to offer anyone in the park food followed by a short devotional.

Ten percent of the land owners would need to agree to the formation of an HOA for it to go through, Campbell said.

That equates to about 18 signatures, and he already has more than that.

Further investigation has revealed to Campbell, though, that an HOA might prove to be more costly than the group first thought.

“We thought it was best because it would be a tax-free status,” Campbell explained. “But then we found out it might cost $1,200 a year just to file for the tax exempt status.”

Debbie Clark, who was in favor of the HOA, agrees that it may not be the best option now that more is known about the cost of such a venture.

She believes a committee selected by the land owners might be able to convince Tarrant County to “do what they should already be doing” and enforce restrictions in the subdivision.

“Frankly, there is very little in the existing deed restrictions that’s not addressed at the county level already,” Clark said.

Yet another option would be to convince 51 percent of the landowners in the addition to agree to expunge the deed restrictions. That would certainly make the owners of lot

Waiting game Even Ghrist, the attorney for 12021 Jacksboro, LLC, who filed the original suit, says allegations that Campbell or anyone else is trying to obtain property are unfounded.

“It’s just not true at all – no one is trying to take any property,” Ghrist said. “We think it would be a good thing if they all get a chance to vote on it and decide what to do.”

As it turns out, Ghrist drafted the proposed HOA agreement and cover letter. He calls it the “lightest HOA you could possibly draft, and it’s very limited in what it can do.”

For example, the proposed HOA does not provide for any fees or assessments, and it also doesn’t address landscaping.

For now, Ghrist says his client is waiting to see what happens.

“If everything gets signed, we’ll dismiss [the lawsuit],” he said. “If not, we may try to work it all out voluntarily again.”

Fear and mistrust A woman who alerted The Azle News to the situation in RAPII is convinced Campbell is up to no good.

Janet Markum believes the owner of lot 27 wants to put a gas well on the property – something that specifically violates the deed restrictions – and filed the lawsuit to expunge the restrictions to that end.

“I think Bob Campbell is using that as an opportunity to mix it up with a misleading letter,” Markum said. “That will get him access to property, let him charge fees, and even take your property. It even says he can enter property that’s vacant if it doesn’t look good to him.”

Markum said she also be-

Nonetheless, Campbell and others continue working to get enough land owners to sign a petition to form an HOA. By the way, Campbell says he and two other land owners named in the suit were successful in getting 12021 Jacksboro, LLC’s lawsuit dismissed recently.

Whether or not that’s true is not clear in court records.

Survey says:

50th Annual Car Show

Tarrant County seeks responses to housing survey Azle and area residents’ input is being sought concerning local housing.

Tarrant County has developed a Five Year Consolidated Plan to help assess affordable housing and community development needs and market conditions, and to make data-driven, place-based investment decisions.

The consolidated planning process serves as the framework for a community-wide dialogue to identify housing and community development priorities that align and focus funding from the annual monies received by the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development.

As part of this plan, the Tarrant County Community Planning Survey has been released. This survey helps Tarrant County understand current citizens’ needs and better plan for our future.

The survey is open to all Tarrant County citizens through Jan. 18, 2015, and county officials request all citizens take a few minutes to fill it out.

You can access the survey at https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/Tarrant_HUDplanning.

It will also soon be available at the city of Azle’s website, www.cityofazle.org.

The winner of the 50th Annual Silver Creek United Methodist Church Lord’s Acre car show was Tommy Roden. His 1941 Ford truck was not only Best of Show but the People’s Choice pick, too.

Rotarians honor 4 AHS seniors

Engagements

Gibbons, Bivens, Brown, Sellers lauded by mark k. campbell A quartet of top Azle High School students was named the October Rotary Students of the Month.

Earning certificates were Garrett Gibbons, Sydney Bivens, Taylor Brown, and Chasity Sellers.

Gibbons sits at No. 12 scholastically in the Class of 2015.

Involved in an array of AHS activities, Gibbons is especially busy with band.

Aside from being a member of the Marching Green Pride, he is the captain of the awardwinning AHS drumline.

Gibbons is also a member of the Student Council and the National Honor Society.

He has taken several Advanced Placement classes and some online college courses.

He said he is leaning toward becoming an orthodontist while attending Arizona State University.

Bivens is No. 22 in her class and that ranking – among the top 7 percent – just gained her entry to the University of Texas in Austin next fall.

She is a member of Peer Assistance & Leadership (PAL), the senior class treasurer, a member of the student council, and a group leader for the NHS. Bivens is also an avid runner. Aside from competing for the Lady Hornet cross country team, she has logged multiple half-marathons (13.1 miles).

She said she hopes to become a high school math teacher.

Brown is currently No. 2, the salutatorian, for the Class of 2015.

He has earned a long list of AP honors – including subjects like Geometry, Spanish, World and U.S. History, and Chemistry – and has scored a rare top score of 4 in AP Physics.

Brown played saxophone for three years with the Marching

Green Pride and was also a drum major.

He is currently a key piece of the AHS Math and Science Team and assists with the chemistry lab.

A member of NHS, Brown said he is considering attending the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and majoring in engineering.

Sellers is No. 7 in the Class of 2015.

She likes English – which she hopes to major in at Texas A&M – and won a $2,500 scholarship for an essay while an eighth grader.

Sellers scored a 4 on the AP English test, an unusual feat.

She is the student body president – she was her junior class president – and NHS vice-president.

Sellers is a member of PAL and part of the talented Lady Hornet cross country team.

Jack and Cindy Garnhart of Westminster, Colorado, announce the engagement and forthcoming marriage of their daughter, Caroline Elizabeth Garnhart, to Jason Alan Myers, son of Suzanne Myers and the late Alan L. Myers of Azle.

The couple will wed at 5:30 p.m. March 28, 2015 at Ashton Gardens in Corinth. The bride-elect is a 2011 graduate of Texas Christian University and is currently employed at MHMR of Tarrant County.

The prospective groom is a 2002 graduate of Azle High School who served in the U.S. Army, including a tour in Iraq. He is currently employed as a contractor.

Dr. Kathleen Brooks Retiring November 13, 2014 It is with great sadness that I am writing to inform you of my early retirement from the practice of medicine as of November 13, 2014. I have loved practicing medicine in Azle since 1996 and I have especially enjoyed my patients and all of the friendship and kindness shown to me. Azle is a great community and we will continue to live here. Since I am retiring due to medical reasons, I would appreciate your respect of my privacy concerning this matter.

The October Rotary Students of the Month are (l-r) Taylor Brown, Sydney Bivens, Chasity Sellers, and Garrett Gibbons.

The office doors will be closing on November 13, 2014 but I am reserving the first two weeks of November to see ill patients only. I am only working half days at this time and will not be able to see everyone that calls for last appointments and medication refills. If you are currently on hydrocodone (Vicodin, Lortab) or ADD/ADHD medication which require special monthly prescriptions you will need to IMMEDIATELY place yourself under the care of another physician in order to continue getting your medication. As well, if you are on alprazolam, lorazepam, clonazepam or valium, you need a new physician IMMEDIATELY to refill these prescriptions.

Hornets pop Saginaw for first 5-5A victory by mark k. campbell It wasn’t pretty, Azle High School football Coach Devon Dorris admitted, but it was still a win.

After jumping out to a 17-0 second quarter lead over visiting Saginaw, Azle (4-1, 1-1) held on for a 24-19 victory, its first in 5-5A. The early lead was nice in only the second home game of the season.

Then: “We got into a fumbling spree,” Dorris recalled.

A trio of second half miscues put the game in jeopardy – despite the fact that the Hornets were moving the ball all over the field.

Azle would finish with over 400 total yards of offense.

But Saginaw got the ball back late in the game, trailing 24-19.

That’s when the AHS defense rose up, Dorris said.

Azle stopped a fourth-and-1 in Rough Rider territory.

One AHS first down later and the Hornets took a knee to run out the clock.

“We stopped ourselves,”

5-5A STANDINGS Team Record Denton (5-0) 2-0 Brewer (4-1) 2-0 1-1 Boswell (4-1) Azle (4-1) 1-1 Wichita Falls (3-2) 1-1 WF Rider (2-3) 1-1 Chisholm Trail (1-4) 0-2 0-2 Saginaw (0-5) Dorris said, ticking off two times Azle fumbled inside the Saginaw red zone and another after the Hornets had moved the ball from its own 1-yard line to the Saginaw 35.

Even after the visitors forced a pair of first quarter stops, Dorris said he felt Azle could move the ball.

Behind quarterback Jamie King and workhorse running back Chase Smith, that’s just what happened.

King accounted for 116 yards rushing and 85 more passing.

Smith, toting the pigskin 23 times, finished with 141 yards.

In the second quarter, Azle’s hurry-up offense produced a TD. The Hornets ran the same running play three times in a row, Dorris said.

The first two times, it went for 10 yards. On the third snap, King kept the football and sped 34 yards for a touchdown.

The senior would add a second 34-yard score in the fourth quarter.

“Late in the game, we kept the ball in his hands,” Dorris said of King.

Azle finished with 322 yards rushing on 51 carries.

Receiver Matt Delprincipe caught one ball but it was big, for 39 yards.

Trevor Boiles’ 3 catches went for 24 yards.

The close contest reiterated Dorris’ statement that all the 5-5A squads are close talentwise.

That means playing more fundamentally sound: “We have got to take care of the football,” Dorris said.

Azle overcame. “It’s nice to win, even if it’s ugly,” Dorris Azle’s Bryce Gum tries to elude the grasp of a Saginaw Rough Rider at Hornet Field said. during AHS’ 24-19 5-5A victory.

Azle shines again in cross country races Boys 1st, girls 2nd in Decatur by mark k. campbell The varsity Hornets won a race at Joe Wheeler Park in Decatur and their Lady Hornets counterparts just missed out on the team title Oct. 4.

Boys coach Keith Boenisch was effusive with his praise for both sets of AHS boy runners.

“We keep getting better and better; our performance was outstanding,” he said.

In Decatur, Azle got a chance to see its toughest rival for the district title, Wichita Falls Rider.

AHS out-pointed the third place Raiders 51-88.

“We got many PRs and got a good look at our main varsity foe, Rider.

“It’s hard to believe,” Boenisch continued, “we can have four guys under 17 minutes and we still have to fight tooth and nail for a district championship.”

The quartet that clocked The Hornet varsity takes off. Azle is the favorite to win the boys race when the district meet is held Oct. 23 in White Settlement.

Hannah Boyd’s 15 kills led the Lady Hornets. Zoe Estabrook smashed 9 winners and B. Smith added 8.

B. Smith and Campoli got all the assists with 22 and 19, respectively.

In the deciding final set, Arnold had 6 digs while B. Smith and Boyd killed a pair of balls apiece. The latter added a block.

The victory over Saginaw ended a 2-match skid for the Lady Hornets and also gave Azle a 1-game lead over the Lady Rough Riders after the first round of 5-5A action.

No district team made it through the initial round of play unscathed.

Azle’s only losses have come to squads above them in the standings.

A 24-26 loss was followed by 19-25, 21-25 sets.

JUNIOR VARSITY – Denton topped the AHS JV 25-27, 20-25.

“The team looked great and played hard,” Coach Jason Beck said. “They are bringing their best effort and I’m proud of them. We will continue to fight and play hard.”

ute times over three miles: Jake Self (16:38), Julian Hernandez (16:43); Chris McGill (16:43), and Dylan Tritton (16:50).

All four medaled.

The boys junior varsity also was superior, winning the team title easily over Burleson Centennial.

The AHS JV placed five runners among the top 8, including Brandon Wolfe who finished as the runner-up over the 3-mile course in 17:45.

All times were impressive.

Coach Boenisch said: “The course was accurate, just fast.”

He added that the district goal for the varsity is the 5-5A championship.

The JV is shooting for a perfect score of 15 – five Hornets being the first five finishers.

The Lady Hornet varsity just missed winning, 57-60 behind Burleson Centennial. But Azle should have won, Coach Melody Dennis said.

“We have won the last two

meets and getting beat here might have reminded us that we must not just run well but run our absolute best as a team,” she said.

“Or we can get beaten on any given day.”

Dennis said Sarah Perna and Sydney Bivens are the “calm leaders in whatever storm we are in, and I have no doubt they will continue to push us to get to regionals.”

The girls junior varsity took third. Lady Hornet Maddison Rust won the race in 21:27.

Azle’s next race is a “district warm-up” at a familiar venue, “The Buff” in Haltom.

One week after that Oct. 16 race, the district title is up for grabs at Central Park in White Settlement: Brewer is hosting.

Success there could send an Azle team to a meet no AHS squad has been to in decades – state in Round Rock Nov. 8.

Next up Wichita Falls

While the Coyote contest is not a “make or break game,” Azle coach Devon Dorris said, a victory would go a long way in the “make” category when it comes to potential playoff positioning.

Dorris said Old High is a lot like Azle offensively – they like to run but will pass on you. Like AHS, Wichita Falls got its first 5-5A win last week, in a wild game against archrival WF Rider, 50-36.

The Coyotes opened district play with a 28-24 loss to Brewer.

Against Rider, Old High had 300 yards passing, Dorris noted. “They prefer to run but will take their shots [passing deep].”

But I got a glimpse of the long-forgot-

ers chances in 1987. About how a great up-and-comer named Pete Incaviglia was going to change everything.

And the Cowboys were just killing me. Today, I don’t even know when they play; I jumped on the trampoline with the grandkids when apparently some sort of overtime game was going on against Houston last Sunday.

Back then, I was in pain as Dallas struggled behind the quarterbacking

of Steve Pelleur or as I called him “Steve Manure.”

The Pokes were on their way to Dallas’ first losing season – 7-9 – since 1965. It was just too much for a diehard fan to take! Especially when they went 1-7 in their final games. They even lost on Thanksgiving Day! Impossible! We be illin’ indeed!

(I also bold predicted that, with Herschel Walker – “the greatest football

player in history” – and Danny White, Dallas would go 19-0 in 1987: “You heard it here first.”

The Cowboys record that year was 7-8 in a strike-shortened season with no playoffs.)

That tape brought back a Mark now long gone.

I pass on all pro sports today and was just amazed at how I was so insane for the Rangers and Cowboys.

Somewhere, somehow, those feelings of intense devotion to professional sports simply dissipated through the last 27 years. I don’t know why; to quote Run DMC – it’s tricky.

Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and on the tape detailed a highly personal surgery far too in-depth. And 1987 was the year he was going to sell his screenplay that would “change the world” and he would never have to work again. D’oh.

Leading candidates appear in debate forums

T

exans interested in who their next governor and lieutenant governor will be witnessed major party candidates for those offices engage in live, onehour broadcast debates last week.

Fellow state Sens. Leticia Van de Putte, D-San Antonio, and Dan Patrick, R-Houston, opponents in the race for lieutenant governor, faced off in Austin on Sept. 29. Sen. Wendy Davis, DFort Worth, and Republican Texas Attorney General Greg Abbott competed on stage in Dallas on Sept. 30, each striving to succeed longtime Gov. Rick Perry as the state’s chief executive.

All four candidates held to traditional party lines on such bellwether topics as health care, transportation, education and border security.

Republicans Patrick and Abbott identified themselves as anti-abortion and pro-border security while Democrats Van de Putte and Davis spoke in support of legislative solutions to expand women’s access to health services, foster a less fear-based treatment of border issues and bolster a public education system weakened by $5.4 billion funding cut last session. On

the topic of taxation, Patrick floated his idea that the adoption of a oneor two-penny state sales tax increase would reduce local property taxes by a corresponding amount.

Election Day is Nov. 4, with early voting set for the week of Oct. 24-31.

Ebola case is confirmed The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the state’s public health laboratory in Austin on Sept. 30 confirmed Dallas hospital patient Thomas Eric Duncan tested positive for the disease, Ebola.

Duncan, who traveled from West Africa to Dallas on a commercial airline flight, was admitted into isolation on Sept. 29 at Texas Health Presbyterian Hospital in Dallas.

Early symptoms of Ebola include sudden fever, fatigue and headache.

Symptoms may appear anywhere from two to 21 days after exposure.

Spread through direct contact with blood, secretions or other bodily fluids or exposure to contaminated objects such as needles, Ebola is said not to be contagious until symptoms appear.

The plaintiffs had sought declaratory relief and permanent injunctions against the enforcement of (1) the requirement that any physician performing an abortion must have active admitting privileges at a hospital within 30 miles of the location where the abortion is performed; and (2) that all abortion clinics existing on or after Sept. 1, 2014, comply with the same minimum standards required of ambulatory surgical centers.

Fund moves to top spot Education Commissioner Michael Williams and Texas Land Commissioner Jerry Patterson announced Sept.

30 that the Permanent School Fund reached a record high value in 2014 that made it the largest educational endowment in the United States. On June 30, the fund surpassed Harvard University’s $36.4 billion endowment.

Created by the state in 1854 with an initial $2 million investment, the Permanent School Fund stood at $37.7 billion in market value as of June 30.

Some $30.6 billion of the fund is managed by the State Board of Education and $7.1 billion by the School Land Board. Day-to-day oversight of

the fund is handled by staff at the Texas Education Agency and the General Land Office.

Williams and Patterson attributed the robustness of the fund to effective financial management and increased oil and gas operations on Permanent School Fund lands.

Drought conditions remain Gov. Perry’s office on Oct. 3 announced the renewal of the emergency disaster proclamation the governor originally signed in July 2011, certifying that exceptional drought conditions posed a threat of imminent disaster in specified counties in Texas.

This month, the proclamation applies to 113 of the state’s 254 counties. The proclamation directs that “all necessary measures, both public and private” as authorized by state law “be implemented to meet that threat” and “all rules and regulations that may inhibit or prevent prompt response to this threat are suspended for the duration of the state of disaster.”

Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

Gift book brings unexpected true Western stories

R

eaders of this column probably have heard some variation of this expression: “My (relative) went on vacation, and all I got was this

lousy T-shirt.”

Well, my sister-in-law came home from vacation and brought me an exciting Western book that is even autographed by the author. The only catch is the book's title: Soiled Doves: Prostitution In The Early West. Written by Anne Seagraves, it is well researched.

I hoped I would find a good story to tell. I found two.

The story of Dora Hand was interesting because it reminded me of the fictional Miss Kitty who was a friend of fictional Marshall Matt Dillon in one of the early Western TV series, Gunsmoke. In fact, Dora's story may have inspired the TV one. Both real and make-believe ladies hailed from Dodge City.

Dora sang opera in Boston until she acquired tuberculosis and came west to a drier climate in hopes of a cure.

In the Grey Lady Saloon she sang for the cowboys who were celebrating

THE

after delivering herds of cattle to the railroad. Like Miss Kitty, Dora Hand attracted the attention of a prominent fellow as her boyfriend. Miss Kitty (Amanda Blake) and Sheriff Dillon (James Arness) were friends. In Dora's case it was the mayor.

Dora had a heart of gold because she visited the sick or used her earnings to help feed a family who needed it. She even attended worship services on Sundays. Although associated with the night life of Dodge City, she didn't suffer the discrimination that most ladies of her profession did. (Perhaps she was only a singer after all, or am I being naive!)

Dora's friend Jim Kelley had to have surgery, and so Dora and a fellow entertainer stayed at Kelley's house while he was gone. Perhaps he was at the doctor's home or even in a Kansas City hospital. After Dora stayed in his house for several days, someone with a grudge against the mayor fired two bullets through a window.

Instead of the absent Kelley, one of the bullets struck Dora and killed her. When apprehended, the killer was shocked to learn that he had killed

Dora Hand instead of Kelley.

Folks turned out in great numbers for Dora's funeral.

Another story from Soiled Doves concerned a lady who definitely was NOT a prostitute. Her PAGES FROM name was DonCamWESTERN aldina eron, and she HISTORY took on the task J’Nell L. Pate unusual of helping the Chinese prostitutes of San Francisco.

Born in New Zealand to Scot parents, Miss Cameron was 25 years old in 1895 when she began working with church women who had begun a Presbyterian mission in Chinatown 22 years before.

Donaldina had no training in social work, but she believed in rescuing young Chinese girls who had been sold by their parents in China and brought

to California solely to become prostitutes. Some were as young as eleven or twelve years old when enslaved.

After only a few years, the girls were so damaged by the life and the forced use of opium that their owners gave them overdoses of the drug and killed them.

After a brief time Donaldina headed the mission. With police help, she and other women went into the seedy areas of Chinatown, the alleys and narrow streets, to rescue as many of the young enslaved girls as they could. Chinese families in San Francisco were sympathetic with the work. Donaldina, gentle and refined, nevertheless courageously showed no fear.

Tall and slender, she had the strength to chop down a door with an axe and go in to rescue a girl. Sometimes the chase ended in a rat-infested basement. Squalor and opium fumes greeted them. One time she pulled up a trap door and found a poor girl hidden in a square box that was secreted between the floor and the false ceiling of the room below. The slave dealers she challenged called her “Fahn Quai,” which meant “The White Devil.”

However, the girls she began rescuing called her “Lo Mo,” which meant “Beloved Mother.”

Once rescued, the girls had the opportunity for an education. Most of them had not learned English. One of the girls Donaldina and her friends rescued, Yoke Keen, in 1928 became the first Chinese woman to graduate from Stanford University in Palo Alto, Calif. She returned to China to help teach her people.

After nearly 45 years of working in the mission, Donaldina Cameron retired in 1939. She lived in Palo Alto with two of her sisters and some children she had adopted. She died January 4, 1968, one month before her 99th birthday. Officials in San Francisco believe that she and her women rescued more than 3,000 Chinese girls from a life of slavery as prostitutes.

Rethinking your investment portfolio: You mustn’t miss these opportunities!

D

id that headline get your attention? No, I haven’t decided to dabble in financial advising. Trust me; that would not be a good thing. My idea of successful financial planning to have enough in the bank to cover the last check I write before death. Maybe someone else will leave a generous inheritance to my kids. I just don’t want to leave them with unpaid bills.

The investment portfolio I am talking about has little to do with money, though some may be required. I’m talking about investing in the next generation of leaders. I was kidding about

someone else leaving an inheritance to my kids, but too often I think we hope someone else is developing leadership for the future.

I read an interesting article this morning from Leadership Education at Duke University, referencing the way churches and institutions have traditionally identified new leaders.

Here’s a quote: “In the Industrial Age, American Protestant congregations and related institutions all too often adopted a mechanical view of their employees. Leaders could afford to hire more people and push ineffective or inefficient employees to the side. With labor plentiful, it was

far easier to bring in someone new t h a n to cultivate talent within the current employee LIFE MATTERS r a n k s .

EveryGerry Lewis one was replaceable. Today, the distinction between leaders and followers is increasingly complicated in most organizations.”

Whether we are talking about the church, the Rotary Club, the Little League, or the neighborhood Home Owners’ Association, the days of having the luxury of “hiring” everything done are gone. Not only do we not have unlimited financial resources, but we are suffering the consequences of a generation of “hiring leaders” rather than “developing leadership potential.”

Here’s an important truth: Everyone is leading someone.

No matter how insignificant or incognito you think you are, someone is watching you, taking cues from how you live your life. You can hire someone to mow your yard, but you can-

Movie Man

Wednesday, October 8, 2014

Fincher’s Gone Girl amps up the dread factor Not since The Hunger Games has the arrival of a popular novel to movie screens been so highly awaited.

That’s the case with Gone Girl, the popular novel that’s now the No. 1 movie in America.

About the film Whenever David Fincher is attached to direct a movie, interest in it balloons.

Fincher is one of those guys who makes a picture his way and everyone involved knows it.

His filmography has some nice movies on it and the Movie Man has caught all of them – with one major exception.

After cutting his teeth on music videos for superstars like Madonna, Sting, and Aerosmith, Fincher almost short-circuited on the big screen right off the bat.

Ask any sci-fi fan (but not the Movie Man) about Alien 3 and you’ll get a big yech! However, the Movie Man was a fan.

(It came out in 1992, one year before the Movie Man changed the critical world via this column.)

After that “misstep,” Fincher took off. Se7en (1995, Movie Man No. 96, a 6) was a giant hit and so was its highly-buzzed finale: “I hope what’s in that box is not what I think is in that box.” (It is.)

The Game (1997, MM #198, 7) came next and it was good, too.

Fincher’s next movie became a giant cult classic; however, the Movie Man, like lots of folks, missed it in theaters, Fight Club. That week – October 1999 – the Movie Man chose to see the pitiful The Story of Us (MM #309, 3 [in the Movie Man’s defense, Us starred red hot Bruce Willis and Michelle Pfeiffer and was directed by Rob Reiner before his career nosedived]).

The Movie Man has seen all other Fincher major releases:

• Panic Room (2002, MM #450, 7) • Zodiac (2007, MM #707, 6) • The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008, MM #806, 8 [despite its behind-numbing length of 2 hours, 46 minutes]), The Social Network (2010, MM #897, 7) • The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011, MM #962, 6).

For movies actually scored, that’s an average of almost 7 (6.857) – very impressive overall.

It’s a tough call deciding his best movie, between Benjamin Button and Gone Girl. Either way, it’s hard to go wrong with any Fincher feature. Or Aerosmith’s “Jamie Got a Gun” either.

The plot (GIGANTIC spoilers) Vowing to not become “that married couple,” Nick (Ben Affleck) and strong-willed Amy (Rosamund Pike) still end up with their marriage on the rocks five years in.

After both lose their jobs as magazine writers living the high life in New York City, they move to Missouri to care for Affleck’s mother. Pike quickly gets bored as her journal reveals.

Affleck, who owns a local bar run by his twin sister Margo (Carrie Coon), gets a phone call that says his front door is open.

Inside, there is damage, some blood splatters, and no Pike.

Detective Boney (Kim Dickens) carefully interviews and dogs Affleck. Soon, he is the prime suspect; but, without a body, she can’t make a case.

And there is no body.

Pike has carefully set up a detailed web to implicate her husband. His calm demeanor amid a media firestorm only fuels the public’s belief that he did it. Affleck hires high-profile lawyer Bolt (Tyler Perry).

But things go awry for the crazy/wily Pike. She gets discovered hiding out, and, pen-

Marriage Gone Wild Starring: Ben Affleck, Roasmond Pike, Tyler Perry, Kim Dickens Directed by: David Fincher Rated R for: everything, including a violent, bloody incident email: movieman@azlenews.net

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man niless after being robbed, must contact a former lover, Desi (Neil Patrick Harris), that she shamed long ago.

After all these years, he has carried a torch and now she is in his clutches in an isolated lake home.

However, Pike is super evil.

She not only kills Desi but makes it look like she was attacked.

Still bloodied, she returns to Affleck; neither he nor the detective can crack Pike’s ironclad case, her now ballyhooed returned hailed as a miracle by the media.

So, Pike again has control over Affleck. And there’s no way out.

What works Fincher’s movie is again long (2 hours, 26 minutes) and visually, it mostly resembles Zodiac. It’s a marvel, a twisted plot veering another direction every 15 minutes or so.

The actors are great. Affleck, now far distant from the dreaded days of “Bennifer,” is solid, but it’s the women who shine. Pike plays crazy great and Coon, as Affleck’s sister, is the voice of reason to his zombieistic stance.

The real standout, however, is Dickens, a detective who won’t give up on Affleck – and sometimes it’s hard to tell if it’s because she thinks he’s guilty

or innocent.

Harris (How I Met Your Mother) and Perry (the Madea movies) are super in unstereotypical roles.

There are a slew of groovy scenes, including the opening and closing shots of the film (which are the same); Pike’s dense, detailed clues that are part of her devious plan; and a swinging of viewers’ allegiance to characters onscreen, from Affleck to Pike, all set to an eerie, unusual soundtrack by Nine Inch Nail’s Trent Reznor and Atticus Ross.

ris’ clutches by allowing herself to be put up in his sprawling lake mansion, covered with surveillance cameras. It looks like she could be a prisoner forever and be a truly “gone girl” after all.

But she’s a very bad girl and turns the tables on Harris big time – in a shockingly gory and violent sequence that puts the cap on her craziness.

the lower levels of R territory.

Until the gruesome killing that will startle so many – then it’s a solid R. Summing up Fincher makes stylish and weird movies; even his opening credits mean something.

In Dragon Tattoo they were thick and gooey and slimy; in Gone Girl they disappear so fast you can barely read them… they’re literally gone, girl.

What doesn’t work It’s really pushing it to believe that Pike’s master plan Next up The Movie Man can’t pass could work so perfectly. Everything must work to perfection up a Dracula movie so he’ll see – like counting on police to be Dracula Untold. very smart and discover a small clue that leads to big stuff – and it all happens.

And, while it’s halfway addressed, certainly some dogged police work would dig up something on her after Pike’s 817-238-8300 return. www.texasmoviebistro.com 3980 Boat Club Rd Lake Worth The Movie Man wasn’t satSERVING FOOD, BEER & WINE isfied with the resolution, only ShOWtImES FRI 10/10–ThuRs 10/16 slightly different from the $5 MATINEES, ALL MOVIES BEFORE 6PM book’s conclusion.

Monarch conservation in PC n MONARCH, FROM PAGE 1B

Those butterflies traveling the farthest make a voyage of almost 2,500 miles.

No single butterfly makes the entire round trip journey though.

According to “Journey North,” an education and conservation website, the lifespan of a Monarch can vary from 2-6 weeks for summer butterflies to almost seven months for those who migrate in the fall.

“Flight of the Butterflies,” another site dedicated to the Monarch migration, says that these intrepid insects have been making this journey for thousands of years, and Texas is the only state that all migrating Monarchs must cross to reach their wintering sites.

The number of butterflies is typically 12 times denser as they flit through Texas as they were when they began their trip.

This concentration of the butterflies is why the migratory path through the Lone Star State is called the “Texas Funnel.”

Monarchs to survive.

The butterflies also face more subtle habitat destruction while in the north with the loss of their host plants.

Milkweed – the plant larvae feed on exclusively – is considered a weed by many people and is often destroyed.

Both milkweed and nectaring plants are also vulnerable to herbicides used by many landscapers, farmers, gardeners, and home owners.

Monarchs themselves can also be killed outright by many popular pesticides.

In addition, due to recent drought conditions, the trek through Texas has become even more difficult for the butterflies.

And once they reach their wintering sites, the Monarchs face new threats.

Illegal logging and land development are two major causes of Monarch habitat de-

One of the great aspects of a way station is that it can be as small as 100 square feet.

It can easily fit in a backyard, and the requirements are very similar to what is needed for a simple flowerbed.

In addition, on Oct. 18 the Parker County Master Gardeners will host a two-hour workshop on the topic.

They will discuss how residents can create a butterfly habitat in their own backyards or neighborhoods.

The workshop will be held from 9-11 a.m. at the Parker County AgriLife Extension Office meeting room at 604 N Main Street in Weatherford.

For more information or to register call 817-598-6168.

Monarch minutia • The Monarch caterpillar is capable of consuming an entire milkweed leaf in less than five minutes.

• A black spot on an inside surface of its hind wing distinguishes the male Monarch butterflies from the females that have no such spot.

• The orange of a Monarch butterfly’s wings is an Aposematic signal, or warning color that signals predators that the butterfly will taste bad or may be toxic.

• The wings flap slower than other butterflies at about 300 to 720 times a minute.

• They fly at speeds ranging between 12 to 25 miles an hour.

Mesothelioma may occur 30 to 50 years after exposure to asbestos. Many workers were exposed from the 1940s through the 1970s. Industrial and construction workers, along with their families (second hand exposure) are among those at risk for mesothelioma, lung cancer or gastro cancer (throat, stomach, colon).

When Client or Pet Wear A Costume

Finding a reliable pet sitter You’ve booked your next vacation or trip to visit family living far away, and have made all of the arrangements necessary. Except for who will watch your pet.

Millions of people across North America are pet owners.

Although hotels and restaurants are increasingly amenable to pets, a good number of people prefer the convenience of leaving their pet home. Pets also seem to thrive in their familiar home environments. Keeping a pet home will require the services of a pet sitter to care for the animal.

At one time pet owners had limited options when it came time to arrange care for their animals while they were away.

The choices were between asking a friend or family member to take on the task or dropping the pet off at a nearby kennel.

Today, however, trained profes-

sionals are available to watch your pets, some of whom will even come directly to the house.

Hiring a pet sitter is nothing to take lightly, as it requires finding reputable sitters who are thoroughly vetted.

When the time comes to hire a pet sitter, you want to ensure the person is trained and professional. After all, this person will be coming into your home and caring for your pet. Develop a series of questions you want answered, including a list of references, proof of bonding and insurance coverage, and fees. You also want to ensure that the pet and the sitter will get along together.

If you don’t know where to begin the search, you can hire a National Association of Professional Pet Sitters pet sitter.

These individuals have been trained in various pet sitting scenarios and should prove

more than capable.

Once you choose a sitter, there are ways to make the experience easier for all involved.

• Make a list of the things your pet enjoys and does not enjoy.

• List any food allergies or problems with the animal.

• Provide recent veterinarian check-up information and a basic health history.

• Communicate your needs and wants about the animal.

• Establish rules for the home.

Set up the home for the arrival of the sitter, including leaving out any necessary supplies for the pet.

• Clean up the house to prevent any hazards to the pet, including unplugging wires from outlets, and closing doors to rooms that are off-limits.

• Leave a radio on to simulate comforting noises in the house and keep the pet calm.

• Be sure the garbage is empty so that curious pets don’t get inside and eat something they shouldn’t.

The most important thing is the connection you have with the pet sitter and how well you both communicate about the needs of the animal. If you feel comfortable with the person, this improves the chances of a positive pet sitting experience.

Horse tips for prospective owners Children often dream of waking up one morning and finding their own horse or pony in their yards. Some people are able to make this dream a reality and own these beautiful animals.

Whether raising a horse for pleasure or profession, it is important to know that caring for horses can be labor-intensive.

The reward for properly taking care of a horse is a healthy and well-trained animal. But horse ownership is a significant and expensive responsibility, so it is important that prospective owners understand what they are getting into before they make any final decisions.

Breed The first to consider when mulling horse ownership is the breed. If you are unfamiliar with horses, it is best to research different breeds online and visit horse breeders and owners. Perhaps workers at a stable or farm nearby can guide your choice.

There also are forums devoted to horses and care. Some recommended breeds for first-time owners include quarter horses, paints, and morgans. However, all horses are individuals and may have their own unique personality traits.

Acreage and housing Horses are large animals and will need room to exercise and roam. They require a corral or pasture to stretch their legs, so a potential horse owner will need a relatively large property to give a horse the space it needs. In addition to the corral, the horse will require a shelter from the elements. A shed or stable should be at least 10 to 12 feet in both width and length. The height of the stable should be a minimum of 8 feet.

This stable will provide shelter in both the cold and heat.

When establishing a pasture, be sure it is fenced in with a highly visible fence that is tall enough so that the horse cannot easily jump it. The fence should be clearly visible so the

horse does not mistakenly try to purchase manure to use in their go through it, risking entangle- private landscapes. Establish a strategy for manure usage or disment or injury. posal before buying a horse, as manure can accumulate rapidly Feeding The average saddle horse and attract flies and other insects. weighs roughly 1,000 pounds if not more.

Horses but salt also should be made require routine vaccinations and available to the horse. If the examinations, and deworming weather prevents grazing, sup- is necessary to control internal plemental hay will be needed.

Keep in mind hay bails can weigh up to 85 pounds. They also will take up considerable space. This is something that needs to be factored into the space requirement for a horse.

Feed and water troughs can be purchased at livestock supply stores or be made from repurposed buckets and barrels.

Horses need plenty of fresh water to drink and the water trough should be checked and cleaned regularly to maintain a sanitary environment.

parasites. Hooves will need to be trimmed regularly, so it behooves owners to establish a relationship with a qualified farrier. The vet may recommend farriers in your area.

Horses are magnificent animals that can bring joy and companionship. But those interested in owning a horse must recognize that such ownership is a significant responsibility unlike more traditional pet ownership.

Tack and saddles Depending on how you use the horse, you will need saddles, reins, bits, stirrups, cinches, spurs, ropes, and collars. Saddle bags and cushions may be needed if you will be on the horse for long periods of time. If a horse tack retailer is not nearby, many items can be ordered online and shipped to your home.

In addition, pitchforks, shovels, brushes and grooming supplies will be needed to keep the stable and horse clean and comfortable.

Manure A large animal who eats several pounds of food per day will produce a lot of waste. It’s key to have a plan in place to manage manure. You may want to convert manure into organic fertilizer. Check to see if there is a way to dispose of manure in your area or donate it to be used for gardening or vegetable cooperatives. Some people will
