Police department program aims to keep kids, pets out of hot cars

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Fifteen children and countless pets have died after being left in hot cars so far in 2015 across the United States, and three of those children died in Texas – one in Austin, one in Pecos, and one in Dallas. Azle Chief of Police Rick Pippins is leading the charge that says “Not in Azle,” and the community has responded in a big way. With the support of the city of Azle, its Crime Control and Prevention District (CCPD) and Azle’s business community, Pippins announced a signage effort to remind motorists not to leave children or pets unattended in cars. “The CCPD provided funds to purchase the signs, and the business community really stepped up, providing their own mounting hardware and the effort to put the signs up,” Pippins said. “We want to put this forth as a unified effort and get out ahead of this problem. We don’t want a situation like this to occur due to a lack of effort to prevent it.” The signs – which simply say “Don’t Leave Your Child or Pets Unattended” – are located at city-owned facilities including Shady Grove Park, Central Park, Ash Creek Park, the Azle Memorial Library, City Hall, and the Azle Animal Shelter. Area business that display the signs include: Walmart, Albertson’s, Brookshire’s, Bealls, Ace Hardware, Dollar Azle Det. Sgt.

Latest samples test negative for WNV BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN The city of Azle sprayed a targeted area around Ash Creek Park for adult mosquitoes on Aug. 7 after a sample collected in the park was found to be positive for West Nile Virus Aug. 5. The city reports that mosquito samples collected at various locations in Azle all tested negative for the presence of WNV as well as Saint Louis Encephalitis on Aug. 10. The city of Azle reminds residents to take personal protective measures to safeguard against WNV: • apply repellents including the active ingredients DEET, Picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon eucalyptus (these are recommended by the Cen-

Pharmacy, Aaron’s Rental, Family Dollar, Sears Hometown Store, National Bank of Texas, Pinnacle Bank, BBVA Compass, Prosperity Bank, Little Farmer’s Day Care, and Park Place Plaza. Members of the Azle Animal Shelter Humane Association (AASHA) are also active proponents of the effort. Following a press briefing Monday, Aug. 17, Pippins and Det. Sgt. Kevin Rogers demonstrated for those in attendance just how hot the inside of a car can become in a very short time. Although the temperature at the time was 96 degrees – versus the 107 temps in the area a week earlier – a heat gun pointed at the car’s interior reached 132 degrees when Rogers first tested it. Within a very few minutes, Pippins pointed the heat gun into the car’s interior again and recorded a temperature of 147 degrees. “We have the ability to follow up on cases, and we’ve even filed charges of abandoning or endangering a child – but that’s not what this is about. It’s not about punishment,” Pippins said. “It’s about seeing that it doesn’t happen in the first place.” If you see children or pets left inside a car, call 9-1-1. While every sign ordered for the campaign is already in use, Pippins said. If additional businesses are interested in posting a sign they can contact him at 817-444-3221.

Azle Explorers train early to walk blue line padding to protect the person wearing it from sustaining injuries), crime scenes, handcuffing, bike patrol procedures, and building searches. Explorers also got to experience the Low Ropes and High Ropes Course, an opportunity for team building. On Saturday, Explorers were instructed by several members of the Fort Worth PD SWAT team, who taught and demonstrated various tactics. At the end of eight grueling days, all eight Azle Explorers graduated from Explorer Boot Camp Academy.

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN

Young people interested in law enforcement have a great opportunity to learn more and to receive actual training through the Azle Police Department’s Police Explorer Post 203. This summer, members of the post have been busy preparing for two major events in the Explorer world. Fort Worth academy Post members participated in the Fort Worth Police Department Law Enforcement Program Boot Camp Academy July 19-26. The Boot Camp was held at Lakeview Lodge on the Sid Richardson Scout Ranch at Lake Bridgeport. Participating Explorers were separated into five squads on the first day, and most of Azle’s Explorers were in different units. That gave them the opportunity to become close with fellow Explorers from other posts. “They learned real quick how to work together,” said Cpl. Pat Bovea, a school resource of-

responsible for instructing all the squads of their activities and schedules. They were also charged with keeping water and Gatorade jugs full and available at training sites and at the chow hall, recruiting Explorers for cleanup, and making sure all Explorers were up on time for training in the mornings. Two Azle Explorers were selected to Sergeant at Arms during boot camp: Sgt. B. Pidgeon and Explorer J. Briggs. Pidgeon was ultimately named best overall Sergeant at Arms for the boot camp. “They both did an excellent job of representing our Post and our police department,” Bovea said. During boot camp, Explorers started each day with one hour of physical training, followed by breakfast and classroom studies before and after lunch. Classroom studies included subjects like fitness and wellness, use of force, verbal and Explorer Sgt. B. Pidgeon, Explorer K. Ramussen, Ex- hands-on use of force with plorer N.

State competition With boot camp under their belts, the Azle Explorers headed out for the event they’ve been training for all year long: the 2015 Texas Law Enforcement Explorer Advisors Association (TLEEAA) State Competition. The competition was held at the University of Texas at Arlington July 30-Aug. 2, and 33 police departments and 52 Explorer posts were represented. In all, 380 individual Explor-

Azle Explorers vied in the following scenarios: felony traffic stops, traffic accident investigation, white collar crimes, gang activity, bomb threat, active shooter, arrest and search, crisis (hostage) negotiation, burglary in progress, intoxicated driver, unknown call for police, robbery in progress, crime scene search, officer down-rescue,

and domestic crisis. Azle Post #203 took two teams to the competition. Team 1 – comprised of Explorer Sgt. B. Pidgeon, Explorer K. Ramussen, Explorer N. Colchado and Explorer I. Muller – took second place in both the officer down and unknown call scenarios. Team 2 – Explorer Lt. J. Lawton, Explorer J. Briggs, Explorer L. Burcham and Explorer W. Cross – placed second in the active shooter scenario. Cross also competed in the bike obstacle course where he placed third. Finally, Lawton, Pidgeon, Ramussen, and Cross were among 140 Police Explorers who competed in the triathlon. Members of Azle Police Explorer Post 203 say they realize opportunities such as boot camp and state competition would not be afforded without the continued support of the Azle Crime Control and Prevention District.

AISD adopts budget, leaves tax rate alone Additional funds could arrive if drilling ‘windfall’ comes through BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN

Azle Independent School District Finance Director Monica Miller presented a Fiscal Year 2015-16 budget to the district’s Board of Trustees at its Monday, Aug. 17 meeting she called “conservative, with revenues based on zero growth.” Even with a projected onetime, $2.4 million windfall from a deal with Trinidad Drilling, LLC brokered by Parker County Precinct 1 Commissioner George Conley, Miller isn’t counting any chickens before they hatch. “I’ve put most of that money into Capital Projects, and if and when it comes in, it’ll be there

for some things we really need, like a lot of new doors at the high school and some new roofs at other campuses,” Miller said. Miller’s proposed budget includes revenues of $55,514,568 with expenditures totaling $55,747,089. It provides for a 3 percent, across the board raise in salaries and four new school buses among other things. By law, the maximum M&O tax rate in Texas is $1.04. School districts can increase that rate to $1.17 with voter approval. AISD does not anticipate the need for a tax ratification election in the near future. Miller recommended an M&O tax rate of $1.04 and an

interest and sinking (I&S) tax rate of $0.163 for a total tax rate of $1.203 – the same as last year. Following public hearings on the proposed budget and tax rate, Trustees unanimously approved both. Miller ended her presentation on a high note, telling Trustees the district currently has a fund balance in excess of $13 million – enough to run the district for about three-and-one-half months.

Major General Addresses Rotary Maj. Gen. Richard W. Scobee, commander of the 10th Air Force at Naval Air Station Fort Worth Joint Reserve Base, was the keynote speaker at the Azle Rotary Club Thursday, Aug. 13. Scobee, a command pilot with more than 3,400 flying hours in the F-16, including 248 combat hours, gave Rotarians an inside look at the USAF and military in general, with a concentration on its local impact. Scobee is the son of astronaut Commander Francis Richard “Dick” Scobee, who piloted the ill-fated Space Shuttle Challenger, which exploded shortly after taking off Jan. 28, 1986.

APD urges caution with school start near BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN

reminds the public that school zone speed limits, which have been inactive throughout the summer break, will once again be activated – and they’ll be patrolled. It’s also against Texas law to use a cell phone – by talking, texting or otherwise – in a school zone. According to the Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), one in five crashes involves driver distraction. Drivers who use cell phones in their vehicles have a higher risk of collision than drivers who don’t, whether holding the phone or using a hands-free device. “We urge you to drive now and talk later. If you must make a phone call, pull over. Otherwise, wait until you reach your destination to use the phone,” the TxDOT web site says. “These laws are in place to help ensure the safety of our school children, and we have no doubt that’s everyone’s goal,” Pippins said. “But people should be aware that we’ll be watching for violators and will issue citations or warnings as the situation dictates.” Pippins suggests parents and others make themselves familiar with school bus routes and reminds drivers that they are required to stop and give right-of-way to school buses and pedestrians who may be loading or unloading any time bus red APD reminds motorists lights are flashing. that school zones will be “If everyone does their part active again on Aug. 24 and pays heed, we can have with the start of school. a safe and enjoyable school Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman year,” Pippins said.

Raymond Higgins, 81, passed away Saturday, August 15, 2015. A funeral service will be held at 1 p.m. Wednesday in White’s Funeral Home Chapel. Visitation will be held from 6 - 8 p.m. Tuesday at the funeral home. Mr. Higgins was not an ordinary man, he adopted every person, or animal that needed a loving hand. He knew no stranger; he embraced everyone into his home. He did not know the poor, because as long as he had a dollar, so did they. The simple minded were the smartest of men and women because he knew we can learn something new from anyone, no matter how much we thought we already knew. To put it simply, Mr. Higgins spent his life doing the best that he could, loving his family completely, honoring the Lord, and making all those that knew him all the richer for it. Raymond Higgins was born

in Ranger, Texas. He would grow up to serve his country, marry Josephine and have three children, Bill, and his wife Cindy, Twyla, and her husband Greg, and Debbie. Mr. Higgins would also be blessed later in life by finding his best friend, camping buddy, and someone to keep him inline, Dianne. His extended family grew more and more every day. Mr. Higgins leaves behind him so many people, to name them all would be impossible. His children, great-grandchildren, great-great-grandchildren, brother and sisters, friends and family would like to say to him, “Daddy that we love you and we will always remember your voice, smile, wisdom and the grace you brought to the family. We love you Daddy.” The Azle News, Aug. 19, 2015 Edition

AISD building momentum: Facilities, graduation rate, accountability, sports, ‘distinctions’ all shine BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN

Good news seems to radiate in every direction from within the Azle Independent School District these days. With the start of another school year just days away, district officials lined up to report to the Board of Trustees Monday, Aug. 17. Construction update A tour of facilities under construction as Azle High School preceded the regular board meeting, and Trustees got a look at the campus’ Career and Technology Education Center or CATE. Finishing touches are being applied now, around stacks of equipment and supplies needed for the programs and classes that will relocate there on the first day of school. A much-needed makeover of the AHS auditorium is complete, and it now boasts new carpet, paint, seating, and lighting. Although Trustees didn’t

officially tour Hornet Field, a makeover there is well underway and visible from the school’s parking lot. The completion of a new competition gymnasium is delayed as a result of heavy spring rains that shifted the priority to completion of the CATE; but officials with contractor Buford-Thompson Company report they expect the gym to be complete Sept. 23. “That should be in time for us to get some volleyball games in there before the season is over,” Todd Smith, Director of District Operations, said. Questions did pop up about whether the CATE will be ready when school starts Monday, Aug. 24 – just days away. But one Trustee quipped, “In Todd we trust!” Accountability During the regular meeting, Assistant Superintendent Tanya Anderson told the board the AISD “Met Standard” in the 2014 State Accountability

On top of a year that saw four AHS teams win district titles, the football, softball, volleyball, girls’ basketball, and soccer teams each advanced into postseason competition, and the school had two state wresting champions. “We had a great senior class, and 15 of our kids signed to play in college,” Anderson said. “It feels like we’re getting this program going – we’re winning, and the facility upgrades really help. Sports camp attendance is up 20 percent.” Anderson also reminded Trustees about the inaugural class of the Azle Sports Hall of Fame to be recognized at halftime of the Homecoming football game Friday, Oct. 23 and inducted at a banquet Saturday, Oct. 24. The Azle High School auditorium got a long overdue makeover this summer.

SENIOR SPOTLIGHT BY JACKIE “JJ” JOY Last week we suggested you contact your best friend to let them know you were thinking of them. If you have not, it’s never too late. Make that call today. The upcoming week is Special Kindness Week. Is there someone you could be more kind with? Do you know someone who could use a kind word of encouragement? If you enjoy music, The Azle Senior Center has an active ukulele group that practices on Mondays at 12:30 in the afternoon. They gather in the Emanuel Building and then once a month they go to Azle Manor and play for the residents. The menu for the week of Aug. 24-28 will include oven fried chicken thigh and sausage jambalaya. Call us at 817-444-0070 to make your lunch reservation. Nutritionist Phyllis Nelson, from Texas Health Azle, was with us recently and gave a handout from the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics. We learned there are a number of ways to help us “eat right”. For instance, “Make half your plate fruits and vegetables.” When eating canned vegetables, “choose ‘reduced sodium’ or ‘no salt added’” and make them a variety. Another idea is to choose a variety of proteins. Did you know nuts, beans, and peas are also proteins? Your body also needs plenty of fluids. With the hot weather we have been having, it would be very easy to dehydrate. Water is a high recommendation, but there are a lot of other good hydration drinks on the market. Don’t forget to stay as active as possible. A good activity is to join one of the exercise or yoga classes at the Azle Senior Center. You can also get up as much as possible and move around your home. If possible, take a short walk down the driveway or do chair exercises. The idea is to keep moving. Have a blessed week!

Never thought this would go away – No. 1,009

grew up during the miracle of television. As innovations came along – color! bigger screens! 24-hour programming! – my family kept up. No one loved TV more than my late dad. It was a big deal in my family for all of us to plop down on the furniture (Mom and Dad) and the floor (the children) to watch whatever awesome show was coming on. (Unless it was time to eat. We always had the TV on during supper, cocked so everybody had a good look at it.) I Love Lucy. Gilligan’s Island. Lost in Space. Camp Runamuck (the first show we ever saw in color). All in the

Family. Maude. (I loved that show!) Sanford and Son. (Dad loved that one – but he had memories of Red Foxx from earlier racy albums that we kids were never allowed to hear.) Saturday Night Live. (Dad hated that hippie junk.) Of course, we never missed the most important television event in history: Sept. 21, 1970 – Monday Night Football. There was football on Monday! At night! Announced by beloved former Cowboy quarterback Don Meredith! And if Dallas was playing, well, that was as good as anything could possibly get on Earth – especially if the Pokes won. Could TV possibly get any

better? Yes, it could. B u t e v e n my dad h a d his TV limit; he never bit on the ON YOUR concept that revMARK olutionMark K. Campbell ized the planet – cable TV. For decades, we were happy with three channels, watching the tube until the “Star-Spangled Banner” came on at mid-

night. Then you turned it off and went to bed or read a book. Naturally, those prehistoric days are long gone. When cable TV arrived, suddenly you never had to turn it off; there was always something on. We never subscribed to cable TV. When VCRs came along allowing recording of shows to watch later, every possible viewing minute had now been accounted for. Cable channels were overload. Plus there was no way my Dad was going to pay for TV. Cable took over the world. I remember the first HBO show I ever saw at a friend’s house, a movie called The Last Wave.

Thanks to satellite dishes and cables, TV was everywhere and how could that ever change? Well, it has. Some pundits are predicting the literal demise of cable within 10 years. Why? Apps. Cable/dish costs skyrocketed and certainly aren’t going to come down. And, really, how many actual channels do you watch? So you need 218 when you only tune in six or so? The high costs and iffy service plus ever-expanding technology have cast a pall on the future of cable. Why pay big money for all those channels when you watch only CBS or HBO? An app for only those channels is substantially cheaper

than basic cable. And you have the convenience of watching TV on multiple devices whenever and wherever you want. Streaming is going to kill cable and dish TV. Cable will soon join the ranks of the obsolete with beepers, Blockbuster, landline phones, floppy disks, Yellow Pages, folding maps, record stores, encyclopedias, film, fax machines, hand-written letters, answering machines. telegrams, Rolodexes, and pinball machines. Cable’s death: Another shocking 21st century change – it’s enough to silence even Maude. Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and still has two VCRs.

Two reasons why your small town newspaper is better than a daily

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Shooter hardly a ‘gentleman’ Dear Editor: Here we are once again on the one year anniversary of the big lie of the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Michael Brown by white police officer Darren Wilson in “hands up, don't shoot” Ferguson, Missouri. The lie still persists with the black populace in Ferguson intentionally blocking traffic, looting stores, throwing bricks at police officers, and with a

known thug, Tyrone Harris, attempting to murder four police officers Aug. 9 in Ferguson with a gun. Rightfully, Mr. Harris was dispatched in critical condition to a local hospital with multiple gunshot wounds by the four officers. Could someone please advise the local media and police spokesperson in Ferguson when detailing the ongoing medical condition of Mr. Harris that he is in NO WAY a “gentleman” as has been reported numerous times now? And as seen now on TV media in Ferguson, these

poor little darlings feel “The Man”/“White America” is tyrannically oppressive towards this demographic of St. Louis, Missouri, and they want the world to see it with protest signs. May I offer as a piece of advice to these First Amendments folks? When writing the words on your signs like “Poilce are Pigs,” keep in mind that the letter ‘I’ comes after the letter ‘L’ in the word “Police.” Bottom line: Learn to spell. Joseph Bryan Fort Worth

his week, I thought maybe I should write about something big that is going on in the world. That is, until I remembered that there is a lot going on in the world to which I am completely oblivious. The fact is that I don’t keep up much with what is going on in the world. I intentionally don’t spend much time consuming “news,” particularly of the world and/or national variety. My only newspaper subscriptions are to local, small town newspapers which (not coincidentally) carry my column. As I pondered that reality, today’s topic clicked. So, my intent today is to give you two compelling reasons why your local, small town newspaper is better than the big news outlets. 1. It is more closely aligned with your circle of influence. Stephen Covey, in his book The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People, described the difference between a “circle of concern” and a “circle of influence.” Your circle of concern can be huge. These are the things that you are concerned about, but over which you have almost zero influence. How much influence do you have over the

actions of ISIS, t h e nuclear capabilities of Iran, SCOT U S rulings, or the latest actions LIFE MATTERS of the current Gerry Lewis p r e s i dent? Your local, small town newspaper (especially if it is a weekly) doesn’t spend much time covering those things because they are “old news” by the time the paper goes to print. The local paper reports things that are within your circle of influence. You can read about people you know, issues in which your voice can be heard, and events in which you can actually participate. The more energy you invest in your circle of concern, the less energy you will have to invest in your circle of influence. The more you intentionally and enthusiastically engage with your circle of influence, the larger the circle becomes. When I meet someone for the

first time and they ask about Mrs. Sweetie, I realize that my circle of influence is bigger than I thought. 2. It can be a resource for rediscovering the lost treasure of community. I am significantly into social media and online community. The fact that my blog and podcast are accessible to anyone in the world with an internet connection is amazing to me, and I love hearing from people whom I will likely never meet face to face. But in the local paper I can hear about and from people whom I could meet at the local coffee shop and talk about how we could make our corner of the world a better place. When my friends’ children are celebrated in the paper, I celebrate with them because they are my people. When there is a sorrow in my community, I can be a part of the gracious response. Your life matters to God. There is no place where that is more evident than in the place where you live it. How can you engage more in your community of influence?

Who was the ‘Benton’ of Bentonville, Arkansas

hen anyone hears of the town of Bentonville, Arkansas, he or she probably thinks: “That's the headquarters of Walmart.” Bentonville was named for a prominent politician named Thomas Hart Benton who exerted great influence on the West. His daughter Jessie Benton Fremont was important in history too, as most certainly was her husband John C. Fremont. Benton, born in North Carolina in 1782, moved west to Tennessee where he became a protege of Andrew Jackson, serving as the latter’s aidde-camp in the War of 1812. In 1815 Benton chose to move farther west to the new Missouri Territory. When Missouri became a state in 1820, Benton became one of its first two senators, and he held that position for the next 30 years. He became a strong advocate for westward expansion, urging the settlement of the Oregon boundary and also authoring the earliest land laws encouraging settlers. He favored the annexation of Texas.

THE

Two later U.S. presidents wrote about Benton. Theodore Roosevelt wrote a biography, and John F. Kennedy included Benton in his book Profiles in Courage. Benton’s daughter Jessie became known because of her father's prominent position, for the man she married, and also for her own writings. Benton had wanted a son, so he named his daughter, born in 1824, after his own father Jesse Benton. Jessie grew up in Washington, D.C., got a good education and was introduced to the leading members of Congress. Close to her father, she read his many books and maps. She became fluent in French and Spanish, helping to translate some government documents. When Jessie was only 15-years-old and attending Georgetown Seminary, she met a young lieutenant, John C. Fremont, age 27, who was reporting on his explorations of the Missouri River. Benton and his wife objected to a marriage (naturally). Probably through Benton's influence the war department transferred Fremont to the western frontier near the Des Moines

River for a survey. Quickly doing the survey, Fremont came back to Washington, and he and Jessie eloped. She traveled with him from army post to army post. Benton PAGES FROM got over his WESTERN d i s a p p r o v a l and used his inHISTORY fluence to help J’Nell L. Pate his new son-inlaw. Consequently, Fremont was assigned to explore the west and prepare maps. Jessie moved in with her parents while Fremont set off in the spring of 1842 on the first of three important Western expeditions. Even Kit Carson acted as guide. Fremont later was tagged the “Pathfinder to the West.” When he would return with a dry, detailed report, Jessie got him to describe the more colorPublisher Kim Ware

ful human interest stories, and added them to the account as she transcribed it. The public was anxious for information about the West, anyway, and due to Jessie's talents, the reports became widely circulated. In California (as per last week's column) Fremont was instrumental in the success of the Bear Flag Republic. Although rivalry among the military men involved caused Fremont to be court-martialed, he came out all right and later served as a military governor of California and then one of its senators. The Fremonts settled in San Francisco. In 1856 Fremont became the first candidate for president of the newly-formed Republican Party, and, of course, Jessie helped him campaign. Benton, a staunch Democrat, did not. Fremont lost a close race to James Buchanan. In 1861 Abraham Lincoln appointed Fremont Commander of the Department of the West, and he and Jessie returned to St. Louis where during the Civil War Jessie helped organize a Soldiers’ Relief Society. Even before Lincoln issued his Emancipation,

Fremont ordered all slaves in Missouri freed. He was removed from his position for doing so. Jessie went to Washington and pleaded with Lincoln to reinstate her husband, but he refused. The Fremonts moved back to California, and in the Panic of 1873 they lost their money in railroad investments. Jessie began writing books to help support them. Fremont became governor of the Arizona Territory (1878-1881). He died in 1890 three months after retiring from the army. Congress voted Jessie a widow's pension, and she died at age 78 in 1902. Jessie's father Thomas Hart Benton had seven counties in seven states named after him, as well as Bentonville, Indiana and Bentonville, Arkansas. Several books have been written about Jessie. Many, many, more things honor Fremont than they do Benton or Jessie. However, it was Sam Walton's home town Bentonville, Arkansas that got me started on this topic after all! Retired history professor J’Nell Pate of Azle has authored several books, many of which are on sale in the lobby of the Azle News.

University president says Davis statue to be moved

on our Main Mall. Davis had few ties to Texas; he played a unique role in the history of the American South that is best explained and understood through an educational exhibit,” Fenves said in a news release. “The Briscoe Center is the logical location for the Davis statue and can provide a wellcurated, scholarly context for its permanent display. As the home of one of the nation’s largest collections of Southern history, and as the keeper of UT Austin’s own history — including the papers of George W. Littlefield, a former regent and major benefactor responsible for the statues and fountain, and sculptor Pompeo Coppini — the Briscoe Center will bring a scholarly depth that enhances the educational value of the Davis statue. The Briscoe Center has long planned a renovation of its facility, including new exhibit space, and my office will help raise the remaining funds

bronze statue of Jefferson Davis, president of the Confederate States of America, will be moved from the Main Mall of the University of Texas at Austin campus to UT’s Center for American History for interior display, in accordance with a decision made last week by UT President Gregory Fenves. Fenves said he appointed a task force in June, shortly after he became president, “to identify options for the statues along the Main Mall that have long been a source of discussion, debate and more recently, controversy.” The task force reported its findings to Fenves on Aug. 10. “While every historical figure leaves a mixed legacy, I believe Jefferson Davis is in a separate category, and that it is not in the university’s best interest to continue commemorating him

The suspect, Michael Patrick Wagner, 38, is being held in the Linn County (Iowa) jail and extradition proceedings have begun and are pending. “Thanks to great police and investigative work by local, state and federal law enforcement in Texas as well as our partners in Iowa, we are pleased to announce that the suspect in this case has been arrested,” said DPS Director Steven McCraw. The arrest warrant is for second-degree felony arson, an offense that carries a possible sentence of two to 20 years in state prison and a possible fine of up to $10,000.

Hegar on Aug. 13 announced his agency’s monthly distribution of sales tax revenue to local governments would be an estimated $760 million. Local sales tax allocations for the month of August represent an increase of 7.6 percent compared to August 2014. Hegar also said state sales tax revenue in July was $2.4 billion, up 2.7 percent compared to July 2014. “July’s modest growth in sales tax revenue is in line with the biennial revenue estimate issued in January,” Hegar said. “Stronger growth in receipts from consumer driven sectors, including retail trade, restaurants and services offset declining receipts from oil and gas-related sectors.”

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.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Memorials on roadways are a distraction

DOD, there certainly could be another wreck. It is a little like texting, putting on makeup or reading the newspaper. Nobody wants to chastise a parent who has buried a child, but I would like to suggest to them that little crosses along the highways will not bring your child back and that is what we really want. Put your crosses out for six months or so, but a year and a day is just simply too long. The State of Texas is negligent in letting this go on for way too long without instructions as to how long the crosses can remain on the side of the roads without becoming more litter.

As a mom who buried two small boys over 50 years ago, and a grown daughter 30 years ago, I believe I can speak to those parents who are memorializing children they lost to an automobile accident by putting crosses on the side of the road. I get why the crosses go up at the time of their accident. What I don't get is why the crosses have to stay up for years and years, cluttering the landscape, without a chance in the world of anyone paying enough attention to prevent another automobile accident. In fact, if a driver were looking at the crosses and trying to read the small print giving us the names of the deceased and

Ladies tangle with tourney rivals BY MARK K. CAMPBELL The first tournament of the season sent the Lady Hornet varsity volleyball team to the Denton Ryan Classic. Azle (2-4) got in a slew of matches in the event. The Lady Hornets tumbled to Glen Rose (21-25, 25-15, 2225, 15-25) and Celina (19-25, 13-25, 14-25). Later, AHS faced a trio of squads, bringing the tourney total to five contests. Azle defeated Lubbock Monterey, sweeping to a 25-8, 2515, 25-20 victory. Rudder. a school in Bryan, topped the Lady Hornets 13-25, 8-25, 19-25. Red Oak, always a volleyball power, ended AHS’ Denton journey, 6-25, 15-25, 17-25. Lady Hornet coach Jennifer Robinson said facing such stout squads will make Azle better. “We saw some tough competition that will only improve our overall game; tournaments are great for development. “The girls are improving every time they step on the court,” Robinson said. “This is fun to watch.” Another tourney looms, at Northwest. Azle faces Canyon Randall, Midlothian and Flower Mound Thursday, Aug. 20 at Northwest Eaton, 1350 Eagle Blvd.

Movie Man

Azle News Wednesday, August 19, 2015

Compton: Straight Outta the gate to No. 1 It looks like the Movie Man made the right choice by going to see Straight Outta Compton over The Man from U.N.C.L.E. The former exploded box office analysts’ expectations while the latter tanked. About the film At its base, Straight Outta Compton is just another rags to riches, musical biography, an example of record executives taking advantage of a band with something new. But there was more with NWA (N-words With Attitude). They were saying things in music that had never been recorded before. And that scared a lot of people at the time – and still does today. Dr. Dre, a group member who is now a billionaire, called the daring approach that became gangster rap “reality rap,” and its rawness and vulgarity – not to mention its flagrant disdain for authority – made them conservative pariahs. He was not the only NWA member to find mainstream success. Ice Cube, the group’s primary lyricist, wrote the movie Friday and became a bona fide movie star. Concerns about a couple of potential hot button issues that might have arisen during screenings of Straight Outta Compton did not materialize. While a few studios were concerned about potential violence on the opening weekend – and some theaters didn’t carry the film for that reason – nothing happened, even with auditorium shootings still in recent memory. Another concern was the current tinderbox situation between some African-Americans and police officers. NWA’s most famous song is a screed against cop brutality and unfair minority treatment in their ‘hoods, “F*** the Police.” None of those concerns materialized and the movie is a big hit. With Dr. Dre inspired to release new music – his “grand

finale” – because of the movie and Ice Cube producing (his son portrays him), Straight Outta Compton will be around a while. The plot In 1987, Dr. Dre (Corey Hawkins) is a DJ who is a genius at creating beats and longs to get his music out to the world. Ice Cube (O’Shea Jackson, Jr.) constantly scribbles lyrics into several notebooks, recording what he sees in everyday life, including from his school bus window. Easy E (Jason Mitchell) is a low-grade thug. Involved in drugs, he truly lives the gangsta life with danger always lurking. But he has cash and flash. Dre, tired of playing old school music in clubs, convinces Easy E to invest in reality rap, a new truth-based, beatdriven genre that Dre is sure will take off. The trio’s first record – made with two more guys, DJ Yella (Neil Brown, Jr.) and MC Ren (Aldis Hodge) – is a local hit and attracts the attention of Jerry (Paul Giamatti). Jerry convinces Easy E that bigger things – much bigger – loom if they will let Jerry guide NWA. Jerry does and the group explodes. With lyrics profane and “from the street,” the angry NWA is relatable to more than

Straight Outta Compton

In your face ‘reality rap’ Starring: O’Shea Jackson, Jr., Corey Hawkins, Jason Mitchell Directed by: F. Gary Gray Rated R for: Everything email: movieman@azlenews.net

... on a scale of 1-10

Movie Man just excluded minorities. White kids – already fans of rap – fill their concerts, too. But there’s trouble behind the scenes. Easy E, the original investor, is taking most of the cash; in fact, the other guys are seeing almost no money. This catches the attention of the intense Ice Cube. The group’s tumultuous tour culminates with a concert in Detroit where they are told by local police to not play their explosive anti-cop song or face arrest. They do and they are. Super thug Suge Knight (R. Marcos Taylor) shows up, wanting in on the action. With his imposing size and brutal intimidation tactics, he’s a force to be reckoned with.

NWA splinters. Ice Cube becomes a solo star and Dr. Dre records, produces, and discovers talent like Snoop Dogg and Tupac. However, Easy E falls on hard times then gets sick. All of NWA agrees to unite, but it comes too late for Easy E who dies of AIDS.

Mitchell, and Giamatti. There are some electric scenes in the movie. Just like the Rolling Stones – who were famously told by Ed Sullivan to not sing “Let’s Spend the Night Together” and did anyway – the Detroit concert scene is jolting when NWA launches into “F*** the Police.” The early scenes are effective as the group begins to come together. A sequence where gangbangers stop a school bus and come aboard to terrify students – including Ice Cube – is scary. So are scenes at Death Row Records where Suge Knight has created a juggernaut thanks to Dre. Scrawny Snoop Dogg (Keith Stanfield) stands up to Suge in a bravado move that looks like he’ll surely be crushed by the mighty brute. But Dre saves the day. The recording sessions shine; all the participants know they are onto something and their joy and love of music is uncontrollable as they dance in the studio.

What works There’s some really nice acting here. The main thrust of the film is Ice Cube’s and Jackson Best scene Ice Cube has an acrimonious is memorable. So are Hawkins,

ESD chief fired up about training and profession Watson oversees more than 100 firefighters protecting 265 square miles BY MARK K. CAMPBELL Parker County Emergency Services District No. 1 Fire Chief Stephen Watson recently returned from the annual state fire school. And he took plenty of ESD firefighters with him. It's just one way the chief keeps the district's corps of firefighters – 15 paid and around 100 volunteers – cutting edge in the profession. Today's volunteer firefighters are long removed from the stereotypical idea of what a volunteer was. “The old guys used to volunteer and they'd get on – here's a shirt,” Watson said. Some of them felt they didn't have to train because they were volunteering. That's not the case today. Watson said, “Expectations of service has changed.” That's why he took 16 firefighters to College Station – and two others that acted, like Watson, as instructors – for some training in multiple areas. Currently, there are now 20 instructors who can pass on the knowledge they acquired at A&M with their ESD brethren.

“That's where we have the most impact on peoples' lives,” he said. Major accidents also take up a big chunk of call volume. “We worked about 1,000 wrecks last year,” the chief said. “That included 50 or 60 extrications.” Watson said that ESD practices twice annually at removing people in accidents, adding that changing vehicle technology and construction make the effort ever changing. Red flag days get the attention of the chief. Those low humidity times can result in substantial wildfire and pastureland fires, he said. “We need a rapid response,” he said, noting that extra personnel are called in if necessary. Watson sees that EDS personnel are trained in hazardous materials handling “especially with the gas industry around PCESD No. 1 Fire Chief Stephen Watson says that to- here.” day's firefighters – paid or volunteer – are highly trained and professional.
