Brave son: Pritchett and the late Carolyn Pritchett. Rollins received the TCOLE Law Enforcement Achievement Award for Valor – the highest award given to Texas peace officers. The award stems from an incident that occurred June 10, 2012. That day, Rollins was working undercover when he heard a dispatch about a shooting. Rollins responded to the call and found one individual who had been shot. Armed with only his duty weapon and vest, Rollins and another officer began to search the area for the suspect. They located him on a second story landing of an apartment building with an AK47-style rifle. As the suspect took aim at him, rather than retreat for cover, Rollins engaged the suspect with his pistol to end the threat. Due to ongoing litigation, Rollins’ nomination for the TCOLE Valor Award could not be submitted until 2013. The certificate that accompanies the Valor Award says the award is given for great courage in placing his own life in grave danger to Officer Landon N. Rollins of the Irving Police Department. Rollins grew up in Azle, and says he participated in every sports program the Azle Youth Association had to offer along with his brother, Ryan. “But we loved baseball the most,” Rollins said. His grandfather, Bob Pritchett, was a police officer in Azle and later in Westover Hills. Rollins says that while he grew up being fascinated with law enforcement and was proud of his grandfather, he never imagined himself being a police officer. “I wanted to be a sports broadcaster and call baseball games for the Rangers, but was completely ignorant as to how to go about it,” Rollins said. “So I graduated from Azle High School in May 1998 and shortly after that I enlisted in the U.S. Army.” He served in Operation Iraqi Freedom following the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. In fact, he continues to serve as a reservist at NAS Fort Worth JRB, where he is attached to the 301st Security Forces Squadron. Officer Landon N.

Location changed, treats added by carla noah stutsman Drought has taken the water level at Shady Grove Park so low that it just doesn’t make much sense to hold the Seventh Annual Seth Darnell Day there this year. Dr. Randy Mask has announced the event will be held at Azle’s Central Park, located at 263 W. Main Street behind the Azle Memorial Library, from 6-8 p.m Friday, June 27. Attendees can then stay at the park for Music in the Park, if they desire. The beloved Darnell, who lost his life to osteosarcoma in 2007, as well as Chris Anderson, who died in 2009 from cystic fibrosis, are honored at the annual event by close friends and members of 2010 United – a group formed and organized under Darnell’s direction. The event is also an opportunity to honor those who serve their community and give unselfishly of themselves to others, Mask explained. Historically, members of the Azle City Council, Azle Independent School

District Board of Trustees, administration and staff, and the Azle Police and Fire Department have attended and participated in the special day as well. Traditionally, free hot dogs and drinks have been provided, and that will be the case this year – with an added bonus. David Bosquez, manager of the Azle Dairy Queen and another close friend of Darnell’s, has announced that free Blizzards will be available during this year’s event as well. Much of the two-hour event will be spent renewing old acquaintances and catching up with friends and family members of Darnell and Anderson. But at 7:30 p.m., a n organized moment of silence in their honor is planned, Mask said. Darnell was first diagnosed with osteosarcoma as a sophomore basketball standout at Azle High School and subsequently his right leg was amputated. But the plucky teen returned to play basketball both his junior and senior years at AHS with the

Seth Darnell is lifted by his teammates to the basketball net in victory not long after the teen lost his leg to osteosarcoma.

This Week in Azle History

Texas House Committee on Energy Resources; the Mayor of the city of Reno, Lynda Stokes; Bill Stevens, government relations consultant at the Texas Alliance of Energy Producers; SMU Associate Professor of Geophysics Heather DeShon; and StateImpact Texas reporter Mose Buchele, who’s covered the oil and gas industry for many years. Audience questions were moderated by StateImpact Texas reporter Terrence Henry. Azle Mayor Alan Brundrett says he, too, was invited to sit on the panel but didn’t return KERA’s phone calls in time to make the list. Both Brundrett and Stokes have been vocal in their opinions that saltwater disposal wells used by the oil and gas industry are to blame for the earthquakes as well as their desire to have the so-called injection wells in the area shut down.

Azle grad receives Valor Award from law enforcement agency by carla noah stutsman When the Texas Commission on Law Enforcement (TCOLE) held its annual Law Enforcement Achievement Awards Ceremony at the State Capitol in Austin Wednesday, June 18, an Azle family had ringside seats. Fifteen peace officers were honored for their accomplishments, public service, and valor – among them a 1998 graduate of Azle High School. Officer Landon Rollins of the Irving Police Department is the son of Mike and Kay Rollins of Azle. His grandparents are Rex and Lillie Rollins and former Azle Police Officer Bob

by carla noah stutsman Compared to the capacity crowd that attended a town hall meeting hosted by Texas Railroad Commissioner David Porter in January to address a series of earthquakes in the area, the crowd at a KERA/StateImpact Texas-hosted public forum at Azle High School Wednesday, June 18 didn’t even register on the proverbial Richter scale. One news outlet estimated about 130 people in attendance, and that’s not far off if the estimate includes the panel, KERA/StateImpact Texas staff and crews, members of the media, Azle High School staff, and all their families. The forum featured a panel discussion moderated by KERA senior reporter Doualy Xaykaothao, who has covered major earthquakes in Japan, Indonesia, and Thailand. The panel was comprised of State Representative Phil King, who serves on the newly formed Subcommittee on Seismic Activity – an arm of the

use of a prosthetic. Darnell graduated 10th in his class, was named Mr. Azle High School by the faculty, and was voted “Most Giving” by his classmates. Then, the cancer returned. According to Mask, Darnell began to realize he had a short time to make a difference, and he spent the final four weeks of his life bringing together 2010 United. Formed on the principles of giving something back, making a difference for someone else, and making the community better together, more than 100 sophomore members of the AHS Class of 2010 organized under Seth’s direction. 2010 United performed community service projects such as clearing brush for Central Park and painting the old weight room at the high school. They participated in community events like Sting Fling and National Night Out, and held food drives for local pantries and parties for junior high students. In the two years following Darnell’s death on July 21, 2007, the group logged more than 3,000 hours serving the Azle community in honor of Darnell. Also fondly remembered on Seth Darnell Day is Chris Anderson, who was a 2010 United member and friend and classmate of Seth’s younger brother, Jared. While in eighth grade, Anderson’ classmates rallied the community and raised tens of thousands of dollars to assist his family with medical bills associated with a lung transplant for Anderson – necessary because he had been born with cystic fibrosis. Even with a new set of lungs, Anderson died July 11, 2009 on the second annual Seth Darnell Day. “Seth gave the last few months of his life serving others by creating 2010 United and planted a seed of giving and striving to be your best in the youth of Azle,” Mask said of Darnell. “Many of these kids – now young adults – are now graduating, getting jobs and living life to it’s fullest.” “You can see Seth in their character,” Mask continued. “I feel like the seed of giving and purpose that Seth planted is now creating an orchard. It makes you proud to live in Azle.” A proclamation by State Representative Charlie Geren honoring Darnell may be found on page 4 of the Azle News. The public is invited and encouraged to attend in honor of Seth and Chris.

tion to DeShon, who explained that the cities of Reno and Azle are located within the Newark East Fault System, which is part of larger Mineral Wells fault system. DeShon also shared that her research to date shows the Azle/Reno area quakes to be at depths of 2 to 8 kilometers – depth that reach through the Ellenburger Formation, according to DeShon. DeShon didn’t commit to a strict time line for her team’s

research to be finalized, but did say her particular profession considers results final when it has been published and peer reviewed. Then King – who admitted being “a little miffed” that the Texas Railroad Commission waited until the day before the public forum to release important earthquake data – said the first thing the Subcommittee on Seismic Activity did was to investigate and determine that the RRC does, in fact, have the authority it needs to address industry if science shows that the

oil and gas industry is to blame for the minor earthquakes in the area. Stevens predicted it will be one to two years before researchers release their findings and the general public finds out what’s going on with the earthquakes. In the meantime, he said, no one is applying for new permits and none are being granted. Panelists fielded a few audience questions before the meeting ended, and all stayed to talk with individuals about their concerns.

Annual radio week ‘Field Day’ due June 28-29 Azle ‘ham’ operators hold readiness operation, public demonstration The week of June 23 has been declared Amateur Radio Week in the city of Azle by Mayor Alan Brundrett. The public is invited to an event called Field Day June 28-29 at the Azle Central Fire Station, where they can meet and talk with Azle’s ham radio operators and see for themselves what the Amateur Radio service is all about as hams across the USA hold public demonstrations of emergency communications abilities. In part, the proclamation is a recognition of TriCounty Amateur Radio Club for its ongoing partnership in providing a team ready to establish backup and emergency communications. The club staffs Azle’s Emergency Operation Center (EOC) radios with the Azle

Fire Department, for practicing readiness and in the event of an actual emergency or disaster. The Azle EOC operators are all members of both the TriCounty Amateur Radio Club and Tarrant County Radio Amateur Civil Emergency Service. Despite the Internet, cell phones, email and modern communications, every year whole regions find themselves in the dark. Tornadoes, fires, storms, ice, and even the occasional cutting of fiber optic cables leave people without the means to communicate. In these cases, the one consistent service that has never failed has been Amateur Radio. These radio operators, often called “hams” provide backup communications for everything from the American Red Cross to FEMA and even

for the International Space Station. Azle’s “hams” will join with thousands of other Amateur Radio operators showing their emergency capabilities this weekend. Over the past year, the news has been full of reports of ham radio operators providing critical communications during unexpected emergencies in towns across America including the California wildfires, winter storms, tornadoes and other events world-wide. When trouble is brewing, Amateur Radio’s people are often the first to provide rescuers with critical information and communications. The annual Field Day is the climax of the week long “Amateur Radio Week” sponsored by the ARRL, the national association for

Members of the Tri-County Amateur Radio Club receive a certificate proclaiming the week of June 23 Amateur Radio Week in the city of Azle from Mayor Alan Brundrett Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman Amateur Radio. Using only emergency power supplies, ham operators construct emergency stations in parks, shopping malls, schools and backyards around the country. Their slogan, “When All Else Fails, Ham Radio Works,” is more than just words to the hams as they prove they can send messages in many forms without the use of phone systems, internet or any other infrastructure that can be compromised in a crisis. More

than 35,000 amateur radio operators across the country participated in last year’s event. The local hams will be set up at the new Azle Fire Department, at the intersection of Lakeview Drive and Denver Trail in Azle. The station will be operated with the FCC issued call sign WC5C. The best time to visit the site would be mid and late afternoon on Saturday. Visitors are welcomed to tour the site and see the radio stations operating.

The radio stations will go on the air at approximately 1 p.m., and carry on a continuous operation until 1 p.m. Sunday. A special station called GOTA (for “Getting On the Air”) will be available Saturday afternoon for visitors to actually try operating a radio and make contact with distant stations. A coach (Mr. Wayne Day N5WD) will be on hand to assist. For more information, see the club’s web site at http:// www.wc5c.org.

Valor Award earned by Azle grad n VALOR, FROM PAGE ONE.

Irving Police department. He hit the streets of that city in April 2004. “During my time as a police officer, I have been involved in every type of situation or call that comes with being a cop, and that is what makes it the job for me,” he said. “I like going into work and knowing that every day is different and not having a clue as to what will go on.” Rollins said the Irving Police Department is a great organization and his fellow officers there are some of the best in the country. “The camaraderie and brotherhood in a police department is like nothing else and normal jobs do not compare in this as-

pect,” Rollins said. “I know that my brother officers have my back and would do anything for me or my family at a moment’s notice. We spend a lot of time with each other in stressful, dangerous situations, so it makes the bond that much deeper.” The TCOLE Achievement Award is the highest award to given to peace officers in the state of Texas, and Rollins says he’s both proud and humbled to receive it. That said, the award will take its place among several others Rollins has received for his work in the Irving PD. Those awards include one for negotiating with a suicidal man and preventing him from jumping off a bridge; one for taking a murder suspect into custody

just 15 minutes after the murder was committed; and one for his response and handling of the April 11, 2013 bus crash in Irving that killed three elderly people and critically injured more than a dozen others. Notably, former Azle Police Lt. Lee Blaisdell – who also grew up in Azle – received the TCOLE Achievement Award for Public Service in 2012.

Long time AISD Lopezes celebrate coach Van Dorn dies golden anniversary

Longtime Azle ISD coach and teacher Paul Van Dorn died Friday, June 13, in Lexington. A memorial service was held at First Christian Church, Lexington, at 11 a.m. Saturday, June 21. In lieu of flowers, Coach Van Dorn may be honored by memorials made to one of his favorite charities, First Christian Church Lexington, Doctors Without Borders, Southwest Good Samaritan Ministries; or you may choose a charity that is meaningful to you. The middle of five children, he was born to Tyra Louis and Maggie Taylor Van Dorn in Liberty. He married Kay Woodward on June 25, 1966, at First Christian Church in Rockdale. The couple had a son and a daughter. Van Dorn graduated from Texas A&M with a bachelor of science degree and later earned a masters degree in education from the University of North Texas. After serving in the Soil Conservation Service and the United States Air Force he began teaching and coaching, a career from which he retired in 1993. He then pursued ranching interests in Lee County for the remainder of his life. For the majority of his adulthood, Van Dorn actively served in the Disciples of Christ churches in

numerous capacities including teacher, elder, trustee, and board chair. A compassionate man, he was motivated to support social justice by helping others including students, neighbors, friends and strangers. He was passionate about nature and its preservation. Further, he was a well-rounded man with varied interests and enjoyed nature, gardening, reading, fishing, singing, listening to music, and spending time with family and friends. He remained grounded by meditating daily at “the point” in his pasture or in his back porch swing. He was preceded in death by his parents, his brother, Rev. James J. Van Dorn, father-in-law Thomas Underwood, brother-inlaw Fred Woodward, and sisterin-law Julie Underwood. Those left to mourn his passing include his wife Kay; son Paul Franklin Van Dorn Jr. with daughter Amanda; daughter Amy and husband Rev. Rusty Wright with daughters Madeline and Julia; siblings Damaris and husband Clinton McClendon, Arthur and wife Jan Van Dorn, Peggy Bryant; mother-in-law Ascenia Underwood; sistersin-law Estell Van Dorn and Jan Woodward; brother-in-law Tom Underwood; and many dear nieces, nephews, cousins, friends and former students.

life with a joy and grace that transcended every challenge and that called forth the best in all he met; and WhEREaS, Born in Bossier City, Louisiana, and a resident of azle for the past six years, this beloved young man drew on the twin wellsprings of a loving family and deep faith as he embraced the good times with exuberance and faced down the hard with uncomplaining patience and a tenacious resolve; and WhEREaS, an outstanding student and all-around athlete, Mr. Darnell excelled at everything he turned his hand to by virtue of natural ability and passionate drive; his commitment to his goals was impressively evident at an early age: before entering the seventh grade, he gave up soft drinks in order to improve his physical fitness; and WhEREaS, Later, after treatment for cancer caused him to lose ground at school and drop out of sixth place in the class standings, he vowed to return to the top 10; by the time he graduated from azle high School in 2006, he was ranked number nine; he had also won scholarships to attend Texas Christian University, where he planned to study biomechanics in preparation for a career researching and designing prosthetics; and WhEREaS, When his illness was first diagnosed, at the beginning of his sophomore year in high school, Mr. Darnell was enjoying success at track, cross-country, and basketball; faced with several treatment alternatives, he opted for the amputation of his lower right leg, in part because he thought that course would improve his chances of continuing to compete in the sports he loved; he returned to the basketball court his junior year, hitting a three-pointer, blocking two shots, and taking a charge during his initial game; and WhEREaS, Mr. Darnell also resumed track, took up competitive swimming, learned rock climbing, and made several sky diving jumps; he participated in the Endeavor Games in Oklahoma City, where he competed in swimming, field events, and power lifting, placed fourth out of 51 contestants in the rock wall event at the inaugural O&P Extremity Games, and placed fourth in swimming during national competition in Orlando; his sights were set on the 2008 Paralympics in Beijing, which he hoped to attend as a member of either the U.S. swim or track and field team; and WhEREaS, In addition to keeping up a rigorous training schedule, he served as a coach at a youth basketball camp and volunteered his time with the american Cancer Society Relay for Life; after being fitted out for a new, more technically advanced prosthetic leg, he also traveled the country as a representative for the manufacturer; and WhEREaS, Voted Mr. ahS for 2006 by his classmates, Mr. Darnell was remembered as “the type of person you would want your son to run around with, your daughter to date, or your younger child to look up to”; he was unfailingly thoughtful of others, upbeat, and courageous, and his incandescent smile lit up the world around him; and WhEREaS, The service for Mr. Darnell was moved from his church, Eagle Mountain Baptist, to the larger ash Creek Baptist, which itself became filled to overflowing with friends from throughout the azle community; and WhEREaS, Though Seth Darnell’s journey on this earth was completed far too soon, those who treasured his warmth and bright spirit are deeply grateful for the time their lives intertwined with his , and they will forever hold his memory close in their hearts; now, therefore, be it RESOLVED, That tribute be paid to the life of Seth J. Darnell and that sincere sympathy be extended to the members of his family: to his parents, Denise and John Darnell; to his brother, Jared Darnell; to his maternal grandparents, Robbie and Glenn Featherston and Jerry and Linda Pahal; to his aunts and uncles, Carol and Mike Roberts,David and Jan Darnell, and Robert Darnell; to his cousins, Ben Darnell and Tiffany, Laken, Clark, and Rylan Roberts; and to his other relatives and many friends.

Senior Spotlight by darlene holmes The seniors had Produce Day Friday, June 20. They didn’t get very much this time, there just wasn’t much there to get. That’s why I tell them sometimes it’s a lot and sometimes it’s not. We had our business meeting just before lunch and council gave them the activities reports and financial report. July is just around the corner and there won’t be a Food Bank Day since the first Friday of the month is Independence Day – we will be closed and so will the city offices. Tuesday, July 8 will be our

regular Bingo Day, so bring a white elephant gift to play and you must also eat lunch here on that day. Wednesday, July 9 will be our monthly birthday and anniversary party with cake and ice cream for those who have either or both in July. Johnny and Hope and their band will be here to entertain that day. They come about 10 a.m. and play til 11:30 a.m. We’re having hamburgers that day and they’re good, so come on in and have lunch and support the band and the center. You must make your meal res-

Come by and get acquainted with the lunch bunch. You may already know some of us. We offer chair and yoga exercise in the Emanuel Building through Texas Health Harris Methodist Hospital Azle. We

have a Monday/Wednesday group and a Tuesday/Thursday group. The seniors play table games in the B.J. Clark Annex Building. We also play Chicken Foot dominoes after lunch on Thursdays. Come learn how if you’ve never played before. It’s easy to learn and lots of fun. Come on down and we’ll share our food, fun and fellowship with you. All you need to do is come and get your share.

Advanced Automotive: Total vehicular care Have you seen that cool Gear Head statue outside Advanced Automotive, off Hwy. 199? It was created by Steven Shaw who wanted to “give Azle a little flavor.” He hails from an artistic family that includes an aunt, uncle, and grandfather professional artist Jack Bryant. The Gear Head is made from stainless steel, a metal called ‘cartin’ that rusts slightly to give a bronze color then self-seals, and aluminum. The gears in the head frame spin. It took a year to make. Steven drew it up; it took six months to get the blueprints completed than three more months to build it. He worked with his uncle Stuart and father Keith Shaw at the latter’s steel fabrication shop, ADS, in Fort Worth. At Advanced Automotive, they work on new or old, foreign or domestic, whatever vehicle you drive. The pros at this shop are ASE-certified experts in repair that covers entire vehicles, bumper-to-bumper. At Advanced Automotive Performance, your ride will be worked on by factory-trained and certified technicians who are skilled in a wide array of domestic and foreign vehicles. Owner Operator Steven Shaw has 18 years experience. He’s factory-trained as a Jaguar tech and Star-Certified on Mercedes-Benz. Plus, he holds a degree in applied science. Shaw, an Azle native, moved his shop back here from Haltom City three and a half years ago. “I was born and raised in Azle and wanted to be closer to home, family, and friends,” he said. Advanced Automotive Performance offers superior pricing. All cars and trucks receive a free multi-

point inspection. Other free services: antifreeze checks and battery tests. Advanced Automotive Performance is offering two specials – $20 for a full service oil change, includes up to 5 quarts and filter, also $30 for an a/c diagnostic. Some exclusions may apply. Also available is a brake job special for $89.95 per axle. Bumper-to-bumper services (to name a few): • tune-ups • brake jobs • suspension work • custom performance upgrades • engine rebuilding • air-conditioning repair • timing belts • diagnostics Taking care of small things like these now can save big money later. This is especially true for foreign vehicles since many shops can’t work on them at all. Rejuvenate your foreign or domestic vehicle to keep it in top shape. Call the shop 817-983-4464 or 817-7138090 for a quote on factory-recommended maintenance if your vehicle has reached that 30,000, 60,000 or 90,000 mile milestone. Advanced Automotive Performance uses computer diagnostics. Pick-up and drop-off are available. The shop is open from 8 a.m.-5 p.m. Monday through Friday. Saturdays are available by appointment. Take care of your car and it will take care of you – and Advanced Automotive Performance, at 1200 Northwest Parkway/Highway 199 in Azle, just across the road from David Beard’s Catfish, is just the place to do it.

A man, a hammer, and a social experiement

ell, that’s curious, I thought. Through the decades, I have found many things while jogging. Money. A ladder. Knives. Porn. Scissors. Car wrecks. And, most recently, a hammer. While I padded around my little track down from the house by the highway, most folks in passing vehicles don’t mess with me but occasionally there are some jerks. A few honk/wave and some try to be funny and pretend they don’t see me and edge over to the shoulder then, at the last moment, veer away. (Since I run facing traffic, I always see these morons and get way over.) I have jogged many years down

there, through wildflowers, rain, snow, and some mighty winds and heat. But I had never carried a hammer before. That day, I was tired and the rusty hammer was a bit and heavy, but I lugged it along the highway. That’s when the social experiment began. Hammer in hand, suddenly vehicles wanted nothing to do with me. Punks who might’ve tried to scare me in their ratty pickups moved away so far they hummed over the warning markings near the center stripe. Big rigs, ladies on phones, cable guys, it didn’t matter. None of those folks wanted anything to do with someone who could make their lives pretty scary should a hammer come sailing their way.

ON YOUR MARK Mark K. Campbell

I figured it was the same way people – like me – feel should they wander into a McDonald’s and find a bunch of guys with rifles slung over their shoulders dining on Big Macs. Unless this is Llano County in November during deer season, I ain’t eating there. I’m way too much of a smarty-pants to sit next to guys with guns. (I know I probably do all the time, but I can actually see the weapons on these “patriots.”) The people on the highway eyeing me suspiciously while I jogged along with a hammer likely thought the same thing. “Why would a guy jog along the road with a hammer? Couldn’t he just put it on his tool belt?” They avoided me. I suppose it’s my constitutional right

to carry a hammer anywhere I want. Hammers don’t kill people, people kill people. But that’s not exactly what the UPS guy thought or the old couple in the Cadillac. They gave me a wide berth. I own a gun. I have never toted it into a Wendy’s even though George Washington and Benjamin Franklin clearly thought I should be able to when they penned the Constitution. I also have not had a hammer in hand when ordering a Frosty. Or at Schlotzsky’s. However, if some crazy guy rushes into a Chipotle with a handful of nails, rest assured I’m your man. Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and who knows what will happen if he finds a chain saw on the roadside?

Nearly 200-year-old love story has famous historical personages

n a book about William Clark of the 1804-06 Lewis and Clark expedition fame, I found a neat story about Clark's first child, a son. His name became Meriwether Lewis Clark after the expedition's other leader. The family called him Lewis. Secretary of War John C. Calhoun authorized the appointment of the young Lewis to the U.S. Military Academy at West Point. His father wrote him many letters of advice. The young cadet was so terrified of his first exams that he told Clark he wanted to resign, but he passed them after all. He stayed on and graduated in 1830. His first assignment as a second lieutenant was to Jefferson Barracks (named after Thomas Jefferson) in St. Louis. The young Lewis's father had made his home in St. Louis after his famous Western trip concluded. William's first wife, Julia (Lewis's mother) died, and in 1821 Clark married her first cousin, Harriet Radford,

A family member announced that it would be delayed a bit. Then more time elapsed. Upstairs Lewis was pleading with Mary. She was crying, not able to decide what to do. General Henry Atkinson, a guest and Kearny's superior officer, was "so indignant at the idea of one of his officers & his favorite being treated so" that he angrily left, taking Kearny with him. Mary and Stephen Kearny exchanged "tense" messages over two days. Finally, on September 5 Mary and Stephen married quietly at the Clark farm with only two witnesses present. Second lieutenant Meriwether Lewis Clark meanwhile served as an officer in the Black Hawk War and then resigned from the army in 1833. In Louisville, Ky. he courted Abigail (Abby) Churchill.

1834 and raised seven children. One son promoted horse racing and with the Churchill family created Churchill Downs. Abby died in 1852. Lewis became an engineer and architect. He rejoined the military in the Mexican War. Despite Union sympathies in St. Louis, Lewis chose the Confederacy and commanded an infantry brigade under Robert E. Lee. After the war he moved to Louisville and continued work as an engineer. He remarried in 1865 and later commanded cadets at the Kentucky Military Institute. He died in Frankfort, Ky. in 1881 but was buried in St. Louis. Mary and Stephen had nine children, but at least one died in infancy. Because Kearny was more famous (and I've run out of space), I'll detail his career next week and add a final word on Mary.

Top officials order surge to secure border

ov. Rick Perry, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House Speaker Joe Straus on June 18 jointly directed the Texas Department of Public Safety to begin law enforcement surge operations on the Texas-Mexico border. “To combat the flood of illegal immigration into the state in the absence of adequate federal resources to secure the border” was the reason given by Perry, Dewhurst and Straus. They authorized the DPS to fund the surge at approximately $1.3 million per week and instructed DPS Director Steve McCraw to have the agency: – Provide an operational plan and detailed cost estimate to their offices; – Establish metrics and collect all necessary data to enable the measurement of the impact and effectiveness of the operation; and – Report monthly on significant developments or impacts resulting from the operation. “In this current security and humanitarian crisis, the federal government’s failure to secure our border is resulting in serious consequences for Texas,” Speaker Straus said. “To immediately address these issues, today I join with Gov. Perry and Lt. Gov. Dewhurst to direct the Texas Department of Public Safety to use the appropriate resources to keep our state safe.” The joint directive came less than a week after Attorney General Greg Abbott requested $30 million in federal funds to help secure the border and to assist with the influx of children crossing the Rio Grande into Texas. Detention facilities at Lackland Air Force Base in San Antonio are being used to house unaccom-

panied minors who have been apprehended in recent days. “The Department of Public Safety will have the tools and resources it needs to curtail illegal smuggling, horrific human trafficking and cartel imported crime,” Abbott said in a June 18 statement in support of state funding for border operations approved by the governor, lieutenant governor and House speaker. In other news on June 19, the Corpus Christi CallerTimes published a report that dozens of bodies had been found and were being exhumed in Brooks County, where undocumented people seeking work to the north are known to cross brush country on foot to make their way around a U.S. Border Patrol checkpoint.

Distracted driving discussed Small business owners, corporate executives and state officials joined the Texas Department of Transportation at Circuit of The Americas raceway in Austin on June 17 to consider solutions for reducing driver distractions that caused more than 95,000 traffic crashes last year in Texas. Doing any of the following

while driving is considered distracted driving: texting, checking e-mail, eating and drinking, grooming, reading, programming a navigation system, adjusting a radio, CD player or other audio device. “With distracted driving responsible for one in every five crashes in Texas, we want to help business leaders understand what they can do to protect their employees, themselves and other motorists on the road,” John Barton, TxDOT deputy executive director said in an agency statement. 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.

Unemployment rate drops Texas Workforce Commission on June 20 announced the addition of 56,400 seasonally adjusted nonfarm jobs in the month of May, and that 383,100 jobs have been added in the past 12 months, making it the largest over-the-year job increase in Texas in nearly 17 years. Also, the agency noted, Texas’ seasonally adjusted unemployment rate dropped to 5.1 percent in May, down from 5.2 percent in April and employers from all 11 major industries in the state expanded their payrolls in May. “We continue to work with our workforce and education partners to ensure that Texas workers have the in-demand skills required to bolster this impressive job creation,” said Texas Workforce Commission Chair Andres Alcantar.

New coaches to guide 2014-15 Azle athletes by mark k. campbell Azle ISD athletic director Scott Anderson has filled a trio of coaches openings at the high school level. Some junior high level positions are still being pondered. In the next school year, helping teach Azle athletics will be Andrew Junior, Bo Maines, and Jason Beck. Junior replaces Steve Burkett who left to coach in Frost. The son of a former AHS coach, Junior attended L.D. Bell High School in Hurst then graduated from Baylor. In his coaching career, Junior has logged stops at Magnolia Bo Maines comes over from Springtown to coach the defensive line and discus and West, north of Houston, and shot put throwers. He served three tours in the Middle East. Photo by Mark K. Campbell Krum.

Junior will assist coaching the offensive line for the Hornets. He will also help with AHS wrestling. Anderson said of Junior, “He comes highly qualified. His dad was here for a year so I know a lot about him.” Maines, a military veteran who served three tours with the Air Force in the Middle East, arrives from Springtown. “We had heard good things about him. He came highly recommended,” Anderson said. “His wife [Leah] taught here last year.” Maines replaces Chris Rogers and will coach the defensive line as well as track throwers in shot and discus.

Anderson said Maines has also been an assistant principal. “He’s a good teacher and coach,” the AD added. Beck replaces six-year veteran girls soccer coach Trent Davis who is off to Springtown to try and build that program. “His resume and successes stood out,” Anderson said of Beck. “His teams made the playoffs six of seven years. “He has also been a coordinator and administrator.” Aside from soccer, Beck will assist with volleyball. He has made stops in Heartland (near Forney), Terrell, Abilene, Wylie, and San Angelo Lake View.

Many veteran coaches return to direct the Hornets this fall as Azle moves up to 5A since the University Interscholastic League renamed the classifications beginning this school year. Among the experienced coaches coming back for AHS are (l-r) Ryan Jordan, Brad Overton, Ben Buentello, and Duston Shepherd. Photos by Mark K. Campbell

sum drags down the individual. How to Train Your Dragon 2 lacks the fluidity of the original. This plot is nothing new – which is no big deal – but there is also nothing unique to juice the story line. The end of the alpha dragon seems pretty easy considering he’s portrayed as practically invincible during all of his other screen time. There are long stretches of boring exposition that will bore small kids a lot. Also: There’s no stinger – bummer – so don’t wait around through the incredibly long end credits. The rating (spoiler) When the dragons are mean, they will scare little kids – and that’s especially true when the alpha roars. With that and the death of a major character, the PG is correct. Summing up The Movie Man was a bit disappointed in How to Train Your Dragon 2. While it looks as groovy as the first one, it lacks something to raise it to the original’s level.

surprised this year, the one for the next Transformers movie – Age of Extinction – surprised the most. The Movie Man picked this fourth edition of the series to be the biggest moneymaker of the summer. The Movie Man is feeling pretty good about that prediction. So far, only one summer movie has passed $200 million, X-Men: Days of Future Past at $206.3 million. Age of Extinction should race past that by July Fourth and head to $400 million country – and first place.

Follow The Flag! Christian, patriotic event expected to draw thousands founder of Son Shine Ministries just outside the Azle city limits, began to ponder a way for families in the area to commemorate America’s Independence Day. Shaffer envisioned a Fourth of July gathering where patriotism and Christian faith could be celebrated hand in hand. With the help of hundreds of volunteers from area churches, Follow The Flag was born of that vision, and for 14 years, The fireworks display at Follow the Flag is one of the largest and most professional Photos by Carla Noah Stutsman the event grew until Son Shine in the area. Ministries’ campus could no longer accommodate it. In 2006 the AMA was entrusted with Follow The Flag. Attendance had reached 3,500 at the event in 2005, and at Forte Junior High in 2006, that number more than doubled. Torrential rains put a damper on the event in 2007, but it came back strong again in 2008. Follow The Flag, which began as one man’s dream, has grown to become a cornerstone event in Azle – one that will surely be recorded when future books are written about the history of Azle. Since the opening of Azle’s Central Park at 263 W. Main Street, Follow The Flag has been held there, and the city of Azle has graciously waived permit fees and provided both police and fire protection for the event.

festival-goers with a variety of musical offerings celebrating faith and our nation. Among them is Rose Drew, a local Gospel vocalist who regularly performs at the Azle Opry and other venues. A small ensemble led by Daniel and Laura Montgomery will also perform. Daniel is an experienced worship leader with a master’s degree in vocal performance who excels in both contemporary and classical genres. For the younger folks in the crowd, Richard Ray, Jr. will share an original performance poem and Dan Crowe – former Indiana on-air radio personality – will share patriotic readings between songs. Several additional “acts” from The Abbey Church are in the works, too, but not yet confirmed. Pastor Tom Kolb of West Parkway Baptist Church, who is a Nashville recording artist in the Contemporary Christian Country Genre, will also perform and give away copies of his CD. Kolb says he’s happy to give away free CDs because of a core belief that for whatever is done in Jesus’ name, the price of admission was paid for on Calvary. That’s a belief that runs throughout the history of the event. Follow The Flag was born in 1992, when Lew Shaffer,

by carla noah stutsman When it comes to celebrating Independence Day, no one does it quite like Azle. Follow The Flag, now in its 22nd year (yes, we did the research to prove it), is a Christian, patriotic event that will take place July 4 from 7-10 p.m. in Azle’s Central Park. Live entertainment will begin at 7 p.m. The colors will be presented and the National Anthem will be sung around 9:15 p.m., just before the fireworks display begins at 9:45 p.m. Sponsored by the Azle Ministerial Alliance (AMA), the event is free – and that means free parking, free admission, free hot dogs. free sno-cones, free sweet tea and lemonade, and one of the largest and best professional fireworks shows around. It’s free, too. This year, the Star-Spangled Banner will be sung by Cat Schlueter and her daughter, Lindsay Schlueter. Lindsay was awarded the AMA’s Roland Earl Memorial Scholarship during the Azle High School Scholarship Assembly held May 22. The third recipient of the Lew Shaffer Award will be announced at the event, as well. Shaffer himself received the first award in 2012, followed by Glyn Murphy, who won it in 2013.
