Keeping the lakes full

Water district looking 50 years into the future BY MARK K. CAMPBELL “The ick factor.” When Tarrant Regional Water District Assistant General Manager Dan Buhman was discussing four ways the organization is trying to keep local lakes full, one method involved “reuse” – treated shower and toilet water. “There's an ick factor there,” he chuckled. Buhman said TRWD is focused on the future of water in the area – especially since Texas' population is expected to double by 2060. That's why, he noted, that TRWD has a 50-year plan to keep the taps fl owing. The group's job is to “collect, pump, treat, and deliver” water to millions of customers daily, Buhman said. Finding that water takes far-reaching efforts. Using the lakes Right now, TRWD uses several bodies for water sources: Eagle Mountain, Bridgeport, Richland-Chambers, Cedar Creek, Arlington, Benbrook, and Lake Worth. Water is pumped through 72-inch and 84-inch pipelines – for now. Currently under construction is a

Brown was booked into the Parker County jail. He posted $15,000 bond for the evading charge (a state jail felony) and $20,000 for the endangering a child charge (a second degree felony) and was released from the Parker County jail July 22.

Trade goods – or kids – at APD’s new exchange zone In cities both large and small, across Texas and the nation, “exchange zones” are becoming more popular. The idea for exchange zones came about as a way to provide a safe and secure location where people who utilize online services such as Craiglist and others can exchange goods and payments with a buyer or seller they do not know personally. Now, the Azle Police Department has announced the creation of a zone. This new exchange area is comprised of two clearly- marked parking spaces in the west parking lot of the Azle Municipal Building, 613 Southeast Parkway, just outside the Azle Police Department entrance. Two parking spaces at City Hall have been designated as an exThe exchange zone is a joint project change zone where citizens can exchange goods purchased on- of the Azle Police Department, Azle line or even transfer the custody of children for parental visitation Street Department, and Azle Parks and return. Photo by Carla Noah Stustman Department.

Azle Chief of Police Rick Pippins said Azle’s exchange zone is actually designed for two purposes. “It’s designed primarily for those who buy and sell online, and citizens will now have a more secure public place to make their exchanges,” Pippins said. “Additionally, citizens will be able to utilize the exchange zone for child custody transfers commonly associated with parental visitation and return.” While it’s certainly no crime – not even a ticketable offense – to park in either of the two parking spaces that comprise the exchange zone, they are clearly marked for that use, Pippins said, adding that “anyone misusing the space will be asked nicely to move.” There is no fee to use the exchange zone, and citizens can access it at any time.

But Pippins encourages everyone to always remain aware of their surroundings and follow a few simple rules to increase safety: 1. Avoid going alone to make an exchange with a stranger. 2. Let your family and/or friends know the time and place of your intended exchange and any information regarding the other person. 3. Avoid giving strangers your personal information, including your address or Social Security Number. 4. Avoid exchanges at night if possible, even in the exchange zone. 5. Avoid remote or out of the way places for exchanges and be wary of persons who insist on secluded locations. For more information on the exchange zone, call the APD at 817-4443221.

News named top newspaper

At the West Texas Press Association’s Better Newspaper Contest July 25, the Azle News took the Sweepstakes Award, the highest honor possible. The paper won a trio of fi rst place plaques. Reporter Carla Noah Stutsman was deemed the best in News Writing. Judges lauded her “excellent coverage” of the January 2014 earthquake meeting and also praised a story she wrote about a multi-agency response to fi nd a lost 84-year-old woman. Editor Mark K. Campbell won two plaques. With rain staying away for a while, construction is booming in town. A new ticket booth will greet visitors arriving Editorials written about the from the west at Hornet Field (above). And workers are beginning to span Walnut Creek as the replacement of the earthquake gathering and one Stewart Street Bridge continues. Photos by Mark K. Campbell about a sexual abuse case affecting the town were honored. Judges noted “superior state-

ment of facts,” “call to action,” and “effective writing.” Two of Campbell’s columns – On Your Mark – were singled out for plaques, too. One concerned the notorious “Obama salute” and the other about “not going home” after visiting a friend with cancer. Judges said, “The clear winner. I am sure readers connect with your writing. Beautiful.” The News also fi nished second in General Excellence and Advertising and third in Sports. Campbell said, “We work to give our readers complete coverage and try to be entertaining as well – and our peers said we are doing just that. This award is another feather in the cap of a hard-working staff.”

Thanks to an unexpected arrival of an order of “engineered wood material,” the Central Park playground is now open – weeks ahead of expectations.

Walk slated to support victims of rare spinal disorder

Man charged in fatal truck wreck by carla noah stutsman An accident in the 500 block of Northwest Parkway on May 12 killed David Lawrence Johnson, 64, of Springtown. Now the driver of the black 1996 GMC Sierra C1500 pickup in which Johnson was a passenger faces charges related to his death. Daniel Scott Norfleet, 57, of Boyd, was arrested July 23 after Wise County Sheriff’s deputies served him with a warrant issued by the Azle Police Department.

Norfleet was booked into the Wise County jail on a single charge of intoxication manslaughter. He posted $25,000 bond and was released from jail the same day. Norfleet was behind the wheel when his pickup knocked down a street sign and then crashed into a telephone pole in front of Murphy’s gas station. The incident also shut off electricity to hundreds for several hours. Both speed and alcohol were

Daniel scott norfleet listed as factors contributing to the case of the accident on the police report. A check of Tarrant County District Clerk records reveals

that Norfleet was convicted for driving while intoxicated – open container in November 1997. That case, too, was filed by Azle police.

He began his teaching career at a Dallas high school before moving to Arlington High, where he taught marching band for four years. The last 10 years – spent at Azle High School’s arch-rival and foe in the annual “Take The Lake” football game – have proven a “fruitful experience,” Delgado said. “Boswell competes at a world class level with its drum and bugle corps, and the jazz program there is an honor group that consistently places at all competitions,” Delgado said. “It’s probably too late to begin a jazz program for the upcoming school year, but in the future I hope to build a jazz program in Azle.” For fans of the Azle Indoor Drumline, Delgado said he is not yet aware of the future of the program, but said he comes from a school with a similar drive for percussive arts: “I think it’s a positive thing for students who participate in it.” And while his official start

date is Aug. 3 – “the first day of summer band camp, and the first opportunity I’ll have to communicate with the entire band program” – Delgado says he’ll be at the AHS band hall getting ready for the upcoming year often in the meantime. As for the rivalry between Azle and Boswell High Schools, Delgado said it’s a very friendly one. “It’s very much a family atmosphere that’s developed between the two, and I hope to continue that,” he said. He also hopes to make his mark on Azle’s band program. “I’ve admired Azle from afar, and its stellar tradition of excellence in so many areas,” Delgado said. “I’d like to continue what’s already here and build upon it to even greater heights.” Delgado’s wife, Traci, teaches in the Eagle Mountain-Saginaw school district. The couple has an 11-yearold daughter and an 8-year-old son.

At least two local individuals are victims of a rare spinal birth defect called Klippel-Feil Syndrome (KFS), and a walk to raise awareness of that disorder is planned in Azle. The #KFSummertime Stroll will take place in Azle’s Central Park Thursday, Aug. 6 beginning at 9 a.m. Joanna Reasoner, a lifelong Azle resident who teaches at Eagle Heights Elementary, and Christian Spidle, a student at Walnut Creek Elementary, are both affected by Klippel-Feil Syndrome. A chance encounter at Azle High School between Reasoner and Spidle’s mother, Mattie Price, led to the discovery that they both suffer from KFS. Price said that since the syndrome only occurs in about one out of every 40,000 births, she never dreamed they would ever even know someone else with KFS. According to the National Organization of Rare Diseases, KFS is associated with a variety of additional symptoms and physical abnormalities. In addition, in some cases, neurological complications may result due to associated spinal cord injury. Azle’s #KFSummertime Stroll takes place in conjunction with Worldwide KFS Awareness Day.

2015: One of wettest years ever BY mARk k. cAmpBeLL Ah, the weather – the one topic everyone likes to talk about. We entered 2015 in the throes of a years-long, dusty drought. Now, barely six months later, that phenomenon is a distant memory, and we’re trying to dry out. When it comes to precipitation, this year is marching up the historical meteorological ladder as one of the wettest ever. Gathering data People often wonder why an airport is the official weather reporting entity. Because of the urgency in maintaining up-to-the-minute meteorological information for flights, airports always have the latest observation and forecasting technology, including radars. Local rainfall records go back to 1898 around here. The first reporting station, from 1898-1940 was an official area in downtown Fort Worth. From 1940-53, Meacham Field gathered data. Great Southwest International Airport was the official spot from 1953-74 then DFW Airport arrived and it has been the official site since. Naturally, we are many miles from DFW so their rainfall totals can differ widely from ours; still, that airport’s tally is

year 23 times. Exceptional totals – those beyond 50 inches and that’s certainly possible in 2015 – have occurred only five times.

RAINIEST YEARS EVER 1. 1991 – 53.54 inches 2. 1932 – 51.03 3. 1973 – 50.62 4. 1957 – 50.49 5. 2007 – 50.05 6. 2004 – 47.57 7. 1928 – 45.74 8. 1946 – 45.39 9. 1990 – 45.27 10. 2008 – 45.07 *projected 2015: 47.48

what is recorded for prosperity.

When it rained, it poured The most it has ever officially rained in this area in one year is 53.54 inches in 1991. There were no monstrous monthly totals; in fact, no month had more than 10 inches. However, it rained at least one inch each month. A big December finish – 8.75, the current record – capped the setting of a new yearly mark. The 1991 total broke a record that had stood for 59 years, since 1932. That year, 51.03 inches fell and included a 9.07 January total and 10.80 inches in September which is still the record for that month. The next highest totals are 50.62 inches in 1973, 50.49 inches in 1957, and 50.05 inches in 2007. In one stretch back in the late-’80’s, early ‘90’s, we saw a ton of rain. From 1989-1992 – four years – a whopping 180.95 inches fell. That’s an average of 45.24 annually, well above what 12 months usually saw.

Rainy days... The area has seen some remarkable precipitation extremes through the decades, according to the Dallas/Fort Worth office of the National Weather Service. It rains an average of 81 times every year with a usual rainfall total of 36.14 inches. This year, we are already over – officially – the yearly total for the area. (I live a few miles south of Springtown and am already well past 36.14 inches.) So far in 2015, the official total precipitation is 36.50. But just how far will that tally rise? Since 1898, it has Getting wet big time rained more than 40 inches in a The all-time monthly records

span generations. We just broke one mark; last May set a new record for that month, demolishing the previous high of 12.64 from 1957. Here are the current records, according to the DFW/NWS: January – 9.07 in 1932 February – 7.04 in 1997 March – 7.39 in 2002 April – 17.64 in 1922 May – 16.96 in 2015 June – 11.58 in 1928 July – 11.13 in 1973 August – 10.33 in 1915 September – 10.80 in 1932 October – 14.18 in 1981 November – 7.94 in 1918 December – 8.75 in 1991

with 6.18 inches in January. Every month got rain – even in the summertime, 6.79 inches fell in June-August – but when it wasn’t wet, it was mighty hot.

What about 1980 and 2012? Our two hottest years ever in Texas both got some relief from the sky. In 1980, the brutal months of July (0.71 inches) and August (a trace) were followed by a substantial 6.54 inches in September. Still, the final yearly total of 22.08 was well behind the 36.14 inch average – by more than 14 inches. In 2012, the year began wet

Finishing 2015 Including July, if the average rainfall occurs for the rest of the year, 11.9 more inches will come down. That will bring the annual tally to 47.48 inches for 2015, making the year the seventh rainiest on record, barely behind 2004’s 47.57 inches. It’s enough to make you forget there ever was a drought – until the next one comes along.

How dry I am What about the other extreme? While the drought has been vanquished for now, locally we have quite a history of getting little rain. In fact, three times in the record-keeping era, it did not rain a single drop in a month. That trio: November 1903, July 1993, and August 2000. Thirteen times, reporting stations recorded just a “trace” – less than 0.01 inches. That most recently occurred in July 2000. Clearly, that two-month stretch of July and August 2000 was mighty dry. Still, the year finished near av- A weather station west of Azle shows 48 inches – alerage with 36.26 inches, thanks ready a huge total at more than 12 inches above normal Photo by Mark K.

Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle has been recognized by Premier, Inc., for delivering high-quality, cost-effective health care. The hospital was given the QUEST Award for High-Value Healthcare for top performance in six of the seven dimensions of care which include inpatient evidence-based care, cost, safety, mortality, patient experience, and appropriate hospital use. Texas Health Azle was one of only two hospitals in the national alliance to receive the award. The hospital was honored during Premier’s annual

Breakthroughs Conference and Exhibition on June 25 in National Harbor, Maryland. “Our staff continues to make high-quality, cost-effective care that is delivered safely and efficiently a top priority for our patients in the communities we serve,” said Bob Ellzey, FACHE, president at Texas Health Azle. “We consistently seek best practices to help reshape and transform the way we deliver health care.” Five Texas Health hospitals, including Texas Health Azle, received awards recognizing leadership in accelerating care quality and cost improvements among the approximately

3,400 leading health systems and hospitals that comprise the Premier alliance. “We value this recognition our hospitals have achieved through our collaboration with Premier,” said Daniel Varga, M.D., senior executive vice president and chief clinical officer of Texas Health Resourc-

es. “As Texas Health strives to transform the delivery of health care in North Texas, we treasure the ability to share our knowledge and experiences with nationally benchmarked health systems through our participation in the Premier alliance.”

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT

National Medal Winners

BY SUE TURNIPSEED Get relief from the summer heat by coming to the Azle Senior Center Monday through Friday each week. The doors open at 9 a.m. Get a friend to come with you to have a cool place to visit and have a balanced meal before going home. The menu for July 31 is hamburgers with peach cobbler for dessert. Salads as a meal are available three days a week. Call 817-444-0070 to reserve a lunch as all lunches are pre-

pared by Valley Foods and delivered to the Center just before lunch. It is much to our loss as director Bill Reed will be leaving us after this week to return to the education arena. He will be missed and you are invited to come by Friday, his last day, to wish him well as he leaves the Center. There will be free vision screenings for visual acuity and eye health at the Center in the mornings between 10 a.m.noon at the Center on August 5

and August 19. Take advantage of this opportunity by putting your name on the signup sheets at the front desk. If you have not picked up your August menu and calendar, come by to see all the things going on at the Center. The Emanuel Building exercise classes are a nice cool place to exercise with friends. August is National “Drink More Water Month” and the hot weather makes it wiser to stay out of the heat and drink more water.

When a single sentence changes everything

ometimes your entire direction or thought process can be changed by one utterance, a single sentence. “I got laid off.” “Will you marry me?” “You have cancer.” Here are three times it’s happened in my life, a trio of incidents where someone’s statement completely altered my way of thinking on a topic – in just a few words. 1. It doesn’t make sense for a 185-pound person to hit a 45-pound person. When I was a boy, I got spankings. Almost certainly, I “deserved” them since I was – as my mom told me with regularity – a “smart mouth.” That was part of living in the 1960’s: sometimes you got whuppin’s. Plus, some say, it’s Bible approved:

“Whoever spares the rod hates their children; but the one who loves their children is careful to discipline them.” Proverbs 13:24, New International Version. In the everyday vernacular, it was “spare the rod, spoil the child.” Well, the rod was not spared on me, and, true enough, I was not spoiled. I believed that policy until I had children, two daughters. When discussing discipline with other young parents back then, someone said that as a 185-pound person, he could not bring himself to hit a smaller, younger human. That made perfect sense to me, and I never struck my daughters – who ended up not too spoiled and are pretty good people. I found other ways to discipline. 2. It’s not a baby’s fault it was cre-

ated. W h e n younger, I could never understand the abortion debate; what was going on with a woman and how she would treat her body nothing to ON YOUR had do with me – it’s her body. MARK at a Mark K. Campbell H Then, alloween party of all things, I friend changed my mind about abortion. After listening to another’s litany of reasons for being prochoice – rape, incest, lack of finances – my friend said all that had nothing to

do with the actual future child, another human. Who will speak for those who can’t? That made sense to me. I have a staunch female friend who proclaims that “your opinion stops at my uterus!” I get that, too. Still, it’s true: It’s not a baby’s fault it was created. Who defends the helpless? 3. White Christians ought to think about what that [Confederate battle] flag says to our African American brothers and sisters in Christ. I’m a big heritage guy. You won’t find a bigger supporter of Texas or the South than me. I’m Christian, American, Texan, Southerner, in that order. And I was okay with the Confederate battle flag for a while – even with all the hubbub and the backlash argument that the real flag that should be taken down is the U.S. flag since there

were plenty of slavery issues under it, too. I didn’t really care one way or the other about the Confederate flag until a friend posted on Facebook this quote from an essay by Russell Moore, president of the ethics and religious liberty commission of the Southern Baptist Convention. Why keep up something that distresses fellow Christians? What good does that serve the body of Christ? Jesus was pretty direct about us taking care of each other: These things I command you, that ye love one another. John 15:17 King James Version “Command”! We’re going to let a flag keep us from loving one another? Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and, admittedly, might change his mind again tomorrow.

Wealthy Scot became mentor for American artist

ecause much of the nonfiction I read is about the West, think of the excitement I felt when a new book I ordered arrived: Prairie Fever: How British Aristocrats Staked a Claim to the American West. Written by British writer Peter Pagnamenta and recently published both in London and New York, I couldn't wait to open its pages. In a 50-year period from the 1880s on, nearly six million British citizens left England, Scotland, and Ireland (two-thirds of them from Ireland) to migrate to America. Pagnamenta, however was interested in an earlier time when the wealthy Brits who came over invested and then went back home. There was nothing like the American West in Europe, and they had to see it. The aristocratic Lords realized quickly that no one was impressed by who your father was. Also, it was a mistake to refer to the cowboys on a ranch as “cow-servants.” Pagnamenta wrote that the transformation of the West came quickly, hastened partly by the British aristoc-

THE

racy who “helped slaughter the buffalo, invested in railways and mines, speculated in land and cattle, and strung barbed wire fences over tracts of country they did not own. In the process they helped to destroy the paradise that had first cast such a spell over them.” (p. xvii) Among the earliest British citizens who came to hunt in the 1830s, was 38-year-old William Stewart. He was a younger son of a British lord, who in the aristocratic world in which he lived, did not “work.” Younger sons could go into the church or the military without being looked down upon for being in “trade,” or they could take grand tours and travel. Stewart's father, the Fifth Baronet of Grandtully, owned 50,000 acres of land in Scotland, and could afford to give his younger son an allowance. After fighting Napoleon at the battle of Waterloo, Stewart “mustered out,” enjoyed the London club scene of drinking, gambling, attending horse races, and hunting. He traveled to Italy, Turkey, the Balkans, and the eastern Mediterranean before deciding on

a trip to America, arriving in St. Louis in the fall of 1832 to see Indians, the Great Plains, and the Rocky Mountains. He left a wife and child at home. Stewart called on Gen. William Clark to PAGES FROM “smooth his WESTERN way” on his HISTORY travels. No one StewJ’Nell L. Pate doubted art's aristocratic roots. The 5 foot, 9 inch Stewart dressed in white buckskin, rode a white horse and wore a large black hat. His face was thin; he had a prominent nose and a large mustache. A missionary who met Stewart called him a “man of strong prejudices and strong appetites who freely indulged.” All in all, Stewart spent nearly seven years in the West, 1833-35, 1836,

1837 and 1843. Their father having died, Stewart inherited the Scot estate from his brother in 1838 (and one from his mother causing him to add “Drummond” to his name). After that, William Drummond Stewart had plenty of money to ship buffalo to Scotland, replant Rocky Mountain Douglas firs on his estate, and pay an artist to travel with him. Alfred Jacob Miller, 26, a young artist from Baltimore, had studied painting in Europe and was doing portraits of wealthy families when Stewart approached him to travel west to record scenes from his 1837 trip. Miller sketched Fort Laramie, Chimney Rock, Scotts Bluff, and did portraits of several Native Americans at the 1837 Rendezvous of the mountain men. Much history would have been lost had Stewart not had the means and inclination to hire the artist on that trip. Miller’s work turned out to be the only visual drawings of the early fur trade to be recorded. It “made his reputation” and eventually put his work in museums and galleries all over the U.S. Stewart’s hiring of Miller was his

greatest accomplishment and legacy. Miller’s writings reveal that his boss was a strict man who expected instant obedience from his entourage. Miller had to catch, bring in, and picket his own horse, but he convinced Stewart to let one of the workers put up his tent so he would have more time to sketch. He used pencil and water colors, leaving the oils for back in his studio. In fact, Stewart brought Miller to Scotland, provided him with a room to paint and kept him there a year. Stewart made one more trip to the West in 1843, but Miller was busy back in Baltimore and didn't go. Stewart tried to hire John James Audubon, but he was busy too! Stewart died in 1871, and his heirs sold off Miller's paintings to various British buyers. Only by the 1930s did they begin selling them to American museums who sought Miller's work. Scotsman Stewart never even owned land in America, but he made a tremendous impact.

was “very disappointed” adding that the tournament was “very hard.” Allen noted, “The girls across the U.S. are getting better and better.” Dale certainly contributed, however. “Lauren pulled out a couple of key, exciting wins for the team,” Allen said. Both Azle athletes were part of Team Texas A, Allen said. The event was a learning experience. “We will head back next year and, hopefully, Lauren and Hali will be more prepared,” the coach said. Allen said that Team Texas had plenty of success.

Azle News Wednesday, July 29, 2015

Pixels doesn’t one up Sandler’s fi lm reputatio Critics are tearing apart the latest Adam Sandler movie; Pixels, despite a cool premise, could not even win the week. Pundits wonder if the end has arrived the Sandler who has not had a Sandler-esque hit in years. About the film Despite what you might hear, it’s possible to see a decent Sandler movie. Billy Madison (1995) was funny and so was Happy Gilmore (1996). The Wedding Singer (1998, Movie Man No. 221, a 5) had its moments. The Movie Man liked 50 First Dates (2004, MM #547, 6) okay as well as Hotel Transylvania (2012, MM #1002, 6). Critics (not the Movie Man) have lauded a couple of his serious efforts, especially PunchDrunk Love (2002 – the Movie Man skipped it [as he does with many Sandler movies even though he’s not a Sandler hater] for The Santa Clause 2 [MM #481, 5]). Some Sandler movies are horrible. Bulletproof (1996, MM #144, 2) is wretched; the only reason it wasn’t Worst of Year is because of one of the sorriest movies of all time, BioDome (MM #110, 1), came out earlier in ‘96. Other Sander stinkeroos include Funny People (2009, MM #836, 4) and Grown Ups (2010, MM #883, 2, Worst of Year). The advance word on Jack and Jill (2011) was so bad that the Movie Man passed on it and saw Immortals (MM #956, 6) instead. That same terrible advance buzz has stuck to Pixels, and it showed at the box offi ce where, in a slower summer week, the fi lm could not capture the top slot – almost unheard of for a Sandler movie. Some of that pre-release hubbub came when fanboys began trumpeting online that Pixels’ plot was highly similar to a 2002 episode of Futurama (a Movie Man favorite, by the way). Another toe-stubbing arose when it was discovered that Sony Pictures, in hacked emails, revealed that maybe

What doesn’t work Sandler seems to be sleepwalking through this movie. He displays very little emotion and his effort is almost embarrassing. Lots of times, jokes miss terribly; it’s painful to hear and see. The fi lm, made by veteran Chris Columbus, is sometimes almost amateurish, especially early on. Pixels is very uneven and clunks along with a fi nal battle that is really forgettable and a letdown. The acting is a big part of the problem, with James (a guy the Movie Man likes) quite poor. And it’s sad – painful – to see talent like Sean Bean and Brian Cox in such worthless parts.

Summing up Sandler movies are seldom great, in fact they’re often not very good at all. Pixels is typical Sandler – borderline profane, sometimes witty, often dumb, occasionally funny.
