Locals Turn Out to Welcome Home a Wounded Warrior

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN “Tomorrow will not be different than today. We still have a lot of work to do around here and I want to focus on that for now.”

Longtime Azle City Manager Craig Lemin spoke those words during the city council meeting June 16 when he formally announced his plans to retire from the position effective Jan. 8, 2016.

Lemin insists there’ll be no “lame duck” period, since there is much he hopes to accomplish over the next six months.

Foremost among his goals is facilitating the selection of the next city manager for the city.

Lemin defl ected questions about what he has accomplished during his tenure, saying there will be time for all that later – when he actually retires.

Hundreds lined the route to welcome injured soldier Laramie Dockery home June 23. Social media got the word out fast that a motorcade was bound from Dallas’ Love Field to Reno.

Soon, townsfolks – including (right, l-r) A.J. Latta, Anna Latta, little Saylor Peterson and Leslie Stowe – mobilzed and cheered despite the heat as thevehiclespassed.

Parker Grand jury returns no-bill in Bettis death

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN The man who killed an Azle businessman and former president of the Azle Area Chamber of Commerce will not face criminal charges.

A Parker County grand jury returned a “no-bill” in the shooting death of Bradley Clayton “Brad” Bettis, 40, after reviewing evidence in the case Thursday, June 18.

Azle police were called to the 600 block of South Stewart Street at 5:54 p.m. that day because of a verbal altercation between the two men.

Before police arrived, the argument

escalated. Rogers produced a handgun and shot Bettis several times.

Bettis – who was unarmed – died at the scene.

According to reports, Rogers was at the scene when police arrived, admitted to shooting Bettis, and said Bettis was assaulting him at the time of the shooting.

In a statement he gave Texas Ranger Tony Bradford, Rogers said he was dating Bettis’ ex-wife at the time of the shooting. Rogers listened to a voicemail from Bettis before the shooting in which Bettis was very upset and made

Bettis grew up in Azle, graduating from AHS in 1993. After college, he was an insurance agent with First Independent Insurance for 12 years.

He was active in the rodeo community, as well, where he served as a rodeo judge for North Texas High School Rodeo Association and in the Pro Rodeo Cowboys’ Association.

He is the father of two young children.

Past honorees include the inaugural award, which went to Shaffer himself; Murphy and former Azle Independent School District leader Ray Ivey.

The committee for Follow The Flag 2015 includes event chair Corey Wynns, pastor of Crossing Fellowship; Glyn Murphy, pastor of Lighthouse Harbor Church; Nate Simmons, vice president of Pinnacle Bank Azle; Gary Bishop of Far Corners Ministries; and Tom Kolb, pastor of West Parkway Baptist Church.

Shaffer and his wife Sandy serve as honorary committee members for the event, as well.

That’s apropos, since the event was birthed out of a dream Shaffer had of an event where Christians could celebrate both their patriotism and their faith on the anniversary of American independence.

Follow The Flag was held at Son Shine Ministries for 14 years; when crowds became too large for the property to accommodate, the Shaffers asked the AMA to take it over in 2006.

Attendance had reached 3,500 at the event in 2005. In 2006, that number more than doubled. Torrential rains put a damper on the event in 2007, but it came back strong again

Briar-Reno VFD chief aiming big Smithers to oversee 3 departments

BY MARK K. CAMPBELL “I don't want us to be a traditional volunteer fi re department.”

That's what Chief Shannon Smithers said about the BriarReno VFD. And soon, a second hyphen will be added when the Pelican Bay VFD joins Briar and Reno.

Already those fi rst two towns merging has Smithers directing 22 apparatus and 47 individuals. They run from 4 to 7 calls daily.

“We want to be more specialized locally,” he said. “I want us to be unique.”

And that goal is reached through training, Smithers noted.

Which takes money, of course.

Smithers said he is encouraged that citizens in the BRVFD coverage area are donating up 60 percent higher – a sign that the recent merger has been taken positively by local folks.

Initially, when Reno placed an involuntary $5 charge on citizens' water bills, there was some backlash.

Smithers said he did not like that charge and was glad it became voluntary – and when that happened, funding for the department actually rose.

With the departments now working as a single unit, volunteer retention is “good – we're working together.”

Smithers said he has several goals for the department, some in the near future and some long term.

He said he would like the BRVFD to become bona fi de fi rst responders.

Right now, Smithers said 11 volunteers are going through Emergency Care Attendant training.

On an emergency scene, “we act as the hands for Azle,” whenever necessary, he said.

That could mean taking vitals and securing the scene before the arrival of ambulance. “We take care of minor things and that helps the medics,” Smithers said.

In another near-goal, he said he would like for the B-RVFD to take charge of all hydrant testing in their coverage area.

Another topic of concern

O’Bannon graduates from USAF basic training A 2014 Azle High School graduate has fi nished Air Force basic training.

Air Force Airman Collin S. O’Bannon graduated from basic military training at Joint Base San Antonio-Lackland.

Airman O’Bannon completed an intensive, eight-week program that included training in military discipline and studies, Air Force core values, physical fi tness, and basic warfare principles, and skills.

Airmen who complete basic training earn four credits toward an associate in applied science degree through the Community College of the Air Force.

Airman O’Bannon is the son of Carolyn R. O’Bannon of Azle.

BY NATALIE GENTRY The Parker County Library Association has won the North Central Texas Council of Governments’ (NCTCOG) Regional Cooperation Award for 2015.

Each city on the nomination – including Azle, Springtown, Mineral Wells, and Weatherford – will receive an award The annual General Assem-

is the creation of a dive team.

Equipment is expensive, but Smithers believes it to be a worthwhile investment.

While those goals are on the horizon, a major long term objective for Smithers and the department is a new fire station.

He said he is proud to be directing a corps of volunteers, few of whom – “a handful” –

come from paid departments.

Texas Football likes Azle this fall – mostly Annual Lone Star ‘bible’ says 5-5A standings will depend on the Hornets

by MArk k. CAMpbeLL The football Hornets should return to the postseason, according to Texas Football magazine.

Probably, anyway.

The publication lauded Azle for having one of its finest seasons ever in 2014 but also asked: “Can the Hornets replicate it in 2015?

“It will be tough.”

Many seniors are gone from that record-breaking AHS squad.

But many more return – including Texas Football’s preseason Defensive MVP, senior Trey Ramos.

How those veterans mix with the newcomers will determine Azle’s fate next autumn.

“The district largely depends on Azle, which loses most of last year’s breakout squad. For now, it’s wait-and-see,” a blurb in the magazine noted.

With that in mind, Wichita Falls Rider was the “safe pick” with Denton finishing right behind the Raiders.

Then there’s Azle.

The Hornets had a slew of athletes who competed in the deep playoff run of last season.

Among the veterans – now seniors – coming back are powerful running back Chase Smith, exceptional lineman Kade Griffin, and standout receiver Bryce Gum. Smith piled up 1,503 yards and 16 TDs; the season ending loss in the postseason to El Paso Canutillo might have been different had he not gotten injured.

DISTRICT 5-5A PREDICTED FINISH 1. Wichita Falls Rider 2. Denton 3. Azle 4. Boswell 5. Brewer 6. Wichita Falls 7. Saginaw 8. Chisholm Trail Top 4 advance

Today, Smith is full-speed and has already caught the eyes of some college recruiters this spring. The magazine called him “the catalyst” of the young offense.

Ramos will be a key, too.

He’ll play offense, and is without question the ringleader defensively.

The defense should remain stout, Texas Football noted, thanks to several players returning, including linebacker Zach Petter and back Sean Townsend.

Other players highlighted by the magazine included lineman Chase Slack, running back Clayton Wilkinson, receiver Aric Brazell, and linebackers Thomas Widder and Xavier Gomez.

Also mentioned: defensive back Dylan Robinson, runner Justin Willett, offensive lineman Drew Smith, and defensive end Gabe Davidson.

If Texas Football is right, Azle will play in the Division II playoff bracket against Lake Azle Head Coach Devon Dorris led the Hornets to its winningest season ever in 2014. Texas Football magazine thinks the Hornets might return to the postseason this fall.

Several playoff tested Hornets return from last year’s successful 2014 squad, including: (clockwise from upper left) Aric brazell (85); kade Griffin (78); Zach petter (10); Trey ramos (5), the projected District 5-5A Most Valuable Defensive player; Chase Smith, who was hobbled in the el paso Canutillo playoff game but is fully healthy today; and bryce Gum (3).

Texas Football magazine has questions about the youth of AHS’ offense, but, if it finds its stride, the publication believes that Azle will determine how the district shakes out. being the second smallest school in attendance at 1,688, the Hornets will again play in Division II if they succeed this fall.

They are remarkable females – but probably aren’t the sort who will end up on the $10 bill in 2020.

A federal law says that living folks can not be put on U.S. currency.

Likely, that edict will be dashed by 2020, so every American woman ever should be up for the honor.

It’s a tough call. In today’s pop culture society, if they take an Internet vote, whichever booty-shakin’ musician who happens to be hot in 2020 would get the nod.

But this is a unique honor and requires deep and detailed thought.

So, here’s how I see the odds of the first woman to appear on the $10 bill.

Taylor Swift, 1,000,000 to 1.

In five years, she could be the most famous person on the planet – even

that much in 2020.

Amelia Earhart, 300,000 to 1.

She broke plenty of records but getting lost forever put a dent in her resume.

Sandra Day ON YOUR O ’ C o n n o r, 200,000 to 1.

MARK The first Mark K. Campbell woman Supreme Court judge should merit consideration but most folks will rule against it. (Sorry.)

Sally Ride, 100,000 to 1.

Back when we were enamoured with space travel as a country, the odds for the first female astronaut would’ve

though I still don’t know one of her songs.

Marilyn Monroe, 750,000 to 1.

She would make the hipsters and movie buffs happy. By 2020, the bill could contain a 3-D image of her skirt blowing up like in the movie Some Like it Hot. Caitlyn Jenner, 749,000 to 1.

The world keeps getting weirder; what better way to pacify the wildeyed liberal left than putting the former Olympic decathlon champion on the bill?

Emily Dickinson, 600,000 to 1.

I love the idea of poetry on $10; every time they reissue it, new verses could be put on the bill. I think “Because I could not stop for Death/He kindly stopped for me” would make great retirement incentive. Maybe someone would save that $10 and not buy a Coke which will probably cost

been much better. But too few care in these times.

Michelle Obama, 50,000 to 1.

I think the last eight years have proved that anything can happen.

Hillary Clinton, 50,000 to 1.

She’s a Clinton, so don’t rule anything out.

Shirley Chisholm, 25,000 to 1.

She was the first elected black woman to serve in Congress and also vied to become the Democratic presidential nominee in 1972. Her face on the $10 would revive her legacy.

Rosa Parks, 10,000 to 1.

She got all the press for being a civil rights activist even though others protested before her. Still, she’s got the name recognition.

Harriet Tubman, 5,000 to 1.

Anyone who was key in creating the Underground Railroad should receive substantial consideration, but I think

she’ll get cancelled out by...

Harriet Beecher Stowe, 5,000 to 1.

Too many Harriets causes confusion. But the idea of an author – she wrote Uncle Tom’s Cabin – is cool.

Helen Keller, 100 to 1.

This would be a great choice. Who overcame seemingly impossible odds – man or woman – to achieve such astonishing success?

Eleanor Roosevelt, 10 to 1.

If not for No. 1 below, she makes the most sense; Ms. Roosevelt fought for all races, colors, creeds, and sexual persuasions.

Oprah, 2 to 1.

She already owns most of the $10s anyway, so we might as well just put her face on them.

DAR group honors Vietnam veterans on Flag Day

W

hen someone mentions the “Vietnam Memorial,” we all probably think of the one on the Mall in Washington, D.C. Local folks may not know that a local Vietnam Memorial exists in Fort Worth. I only recently learned about it. Yes, there is a story.

A young 18-year-old soldier named James David “Shorty” Haas from Fort Worth was a paratrooper of Charlie Company, 173rd Airborne Brigade, 1st Battalion, 503rd Infantry in August, 1967. Even though he and his buddies were fighting in the Central Highlands of Vietnam, they learned of protests at home about the war. Of course, the information was demoralizing to the young men fighting in the jungles, enduring hardship and lifethreatening action. Haas decided to write the mayor of Fort Worth, DeWitt McKinley, asking for help with the morale of his Charlie Company.

I didn't learn who responded, but Mayor McKinley motivated the City

THE

of Fort Worth to send bundles of encouragement to the 200 men of Charlie Company in the form of duffle bags filled with chocolate chip and almond crunch cookies, cakes, various other necessary items and letters of support.

These bundles arrived twice a week for two years. Also, the City Council made the soldiers of Charlie Company honorary citizens of Fort Worth, sending proclamations to that effect and including a large flag with “Fort Worth” and a drawing of a Longhorn on it.

A few months after the first cookies and goodies arrived, a week-long battle occurred in November 1967 in which 90 percent of Charlie Company troops were either killed or wounded.

The 173rd Airborne Brigade is the most decorated brigade from Vietnam.

One of the surviving soldiers later told the city, “You have no idea how the gifts from the city turned our attitudes around.” Obviously, they realized that their people back home cared.

Many years later in 2001 when survivors of Charlie Company planned a reunion, one of them, John Rolfe, suggested Fort Worth as the city in which

to hold it. He said that some gesture should be made to thank the city, plant a tree in Botanic Garden or something. Actually, a monument of limestone columns and a bur oak tree was PAGES FROM designed by WESTERN Botanic Garpersonnel HISTORY den to create the J’Nell L. Pate Charlie Company Vietnam Memorial, which was put in place in July 2001. The columns in the memorial came from an O'Keefe mansion on Summit Avenue which was torn down in the 1950s. Family members donated the columns to the Botanic Garden in 1994.

hold a ceremony. This year, on Saturday, June 13, the ceremony was at the Charlie Company Vietnam Memorial in Botanic Garden because 2015 is the 50th anniversary of the beginning of the Vietnam War. They invited veterans of Charlie Company to the ceremony, and seven attended. Someone in Charlie Company had kept the Fort Worth flag from all those years ago and suggested that it be donated to the City.

They made a surprise presentation.

As a DAR member, I usually attend the Flag Day ceremony each year.

When the seven veterans went to the front to be recognized, they presented the flag. The man who had been sitting next to me was one of them. While they were up front, I leaned across the empty chair and asked his wife her husband's name. “Bud Sourjohn,” she told me, and added, “Many of them have Purple Hearts.” Sourjohn, a sergeant in Vietnam, is Cherokee, from Oklahoma. He and his wife, Susan, now live in Saginaw. I thanked him for his service.

ies for the gift bags in the 1960s, and the same bakery (under different ownership) provided the same chocolate chip and almond crunch cookies to the crowd for the DAR Flag Day Ceremony. (The 1960s owners made my wedding cake for my June 3, 1960 wedding!)

The ceremony, with the Pledge of Allegiance to the U.S. and Texas flags, America's Creed and posting of the flags was very patriotic and moving to me – a retired teacher of both Texas and American history and U.S. and Texas government. Imagine the added presence of honored veterans (one sitting next to me) and their wives, Congresswoman Kay Granger giving a brief speech, and the crowd singing The Star-Spangled Banner. The program ended with musicians playing America the Beautiful and God Bless America as piccolo duets. It was very emotional.

Yes, we have a Vietnam Memorial in Fort Worth.

Movie Man

Azle News Wednesday, June 24, 2015

Emotional rescue theme of Pixar’s latest hit For a long time, the genius animators at Pixar seemed to never miss; it looked like they would produce an endless series of exceptional movies.

However, a few years back, the winning streak ended for the studio. But it has righted the ship with Inside Out. About the film The Movie Man has seen every full-length Pixar movie. Here they are from best to worst.

1. Finding Nemo (2003, Movie Man No. 510, 9, Best of Year) – with Shrek (2001, MM #405, 9, Best of Year), Nemo is the best animated movie ever 2. Toy Story 2 (1999, MM #315, 9, Best of Year) – most prefer the other two TSs but this one edges out those other greats 3. The Incredibles (2004, MM #585, 8) – a must-watch every time it’s stumbled upon 4. Toy Story (1995, MM #103,8) – the fi rst one, a marvel 5. Up (2009, MM #827, 8) – funny and it contains that silent heartbreaking scene early that’s never been matched 6. Toy Story 3 (2010, MM #882, 8) – touching and fi lled with memorable scenes 7. WALL-E (2008, MM #779, 7) – better upon every viewing 8. Monsters, Inc. (2001, MM #2001, 7) – probably the funniest Pixar movie 9. Inside Out (2015, MM #1144, 7) – a very solid movie, deeper than any other from the studio 10. Brave (2012, MM #988, 7) – better than you remember 11. Ratatouille (2007, MM #725, 6) – many like this one better than the Movie Man 12. A Bug’s Life (1998, MM #262, 6) – pretty funny but the one most people can’t remember is a Pixar film 13. Cars (2006, MM #670, 5) – colorful but, for the Movie Man, didn’t work like the others 14. Monsters University (2013, MM #1041, 5) – the biggest Pixar disappointment

15. Cars 2 (2011, MM #936, 4) – clearly the worst effort from the studio If you average out those scores, Pixar sits mighty pretty with an average movie score of 6.93 – no other studio can touch that.

The plot A young girl, Riley lives a happy life, evidenced by the unseen emotions that control her – Joy (Amy Poehler), Sadness (Phyllis Smith), Fear (Bill Hader), Anger (Lewis Black), and Disgust (Mindy Kaling).

But a move from Minnesota throws Riley’s existence into a tizzy. The emotions battle in trying to help her navigate this new part of her life. When Riley’s memories become screwed up, Joy and Sadness head into the deep brain to try and make things right – leaving Anger, Disgust, and Fear to try and keep Riley afl oat in her new surroundings.

The effervescent Joy and mopey Sadness fi nd the going tough in the subconscious until they run into Bing Bong (Richard Kind), Riley’s imaginary friend.

Meanwhile, Anger, Disgust, and Fear are failing miserably.

But the determined Joy discovers that Sadness has more value than any of the emotions ever imagined. And the day is saved.

Inside Out

7

It’s okay to be sad sometimes Starring (voices): Amy Poehler, Phyllis Smith, Lewis Black Directed by: Docter/Del Carmen Rated PG: emotional situation, a kinda scary clown (aren’t they all?) email: movieman@azlenews.net

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man What works Boy, the voice work in Inside Out is fantastic. While Poehler, Hader, and Smith are memorable, Black steals the show.

Anger gets mad pretty easily, and he’s always PO’d about something. When he’s full-tilt, Anger’s head literally burns with fl ames. Black’s line readings are flat-out hilarious.

Once again, Pixar has created a movie that requires multiple viewings. This fi lm is deep and one of those that’s fi ne for kids – if maybe a little boring early on – and super for adults.

It’s wonderfully colorful and inventive with plenty of quickhitting jokes for grown ups.

And the scenes over the end credits with the same fi ve emo-

tions being seen in other people and even animals are a hoot.

Sensitive folks (like the Movie Man) will especially be touched by a couple of sequences. The ending is a powerhouse when Sadness fi nally does her thing. That second one?...

Best scene (big spoiler) Joy and Bing Bong are trapped in the mental Pit of Despair from which there is no escape. Except that Riley and Bing Bong, imaginary friend

from years before, had built a “rocket ship” made from a red wagon and brooms. That memory has been discarded – until Joy fi nds it buried in the pit.

With Bing Bong, Joy tries and tries but fails to fl y the contraption out of the pit.

Bing Bong knows what must be done. He bails out, mid-fl ight, allowing Joy to escape. She looks down at him – as the imaginary childhood memory fi nally fades away forever. You probably never thought you’d tear up at a goofy character named Bing Bong; you’d be wrong.
