Wandering baby turned in at ‘Bay PD BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN In his 30-year law enforcement career, Pelican Bay Assist Police Chief Stephen Combs says he’s seen many things “turned in” at police departments. But never – until now – a baby. According to Combs, a woman ap-

peared at the Pelican Bay Police Department about 3 p.m. Monday, Dec. 16 with a 19-month-old baby boy she found crawling on a roadway. The woman told police she was driving in the 1400 block of Sheri Lane North when she spotted something in the roadway. As she neared the object,

she began to realize it was a baby. The woman stopped, picked up the child, and looked around the area but saw no one outside. Her instinctive reaction was to take the baby to the police department just a couple of blocks away, she told police. At the time, there had been no children reported missing, Combs said. An arrest affidavit obtained by the Azle News says the child appeared to be in very good health other than being extremely dirty.

“The child’s diaper was dirty and when (the woman) sat the child down, live cockroaches came out of the child’s diaper,” the affidavit stated. The boy’s knees were also scraped, according to a press release issued by Combs, presumably from crawling on the asphalt roadway. At 3:35 p.m. a woman identified at Tiffany Jenkins, a Pelican Bay resident, walked up to the police department and asked if anyone had found her baby.

Let’s get ready to rumble! TRC to hold earthquake Town Hall meeting in Azle BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN If you’ve been wanting to publicly express your opinion on the recent spate of earthquakes around here then you’re in luck. Texas Railroad Commissioner David Porter has responded to Azle Mayor Alan Brundrett’s request for a formal investigation into the cause of a series of a swarm of earthquakes that began occurring in the Azle, Reno and Springtown areas Nov. 5. Porter contacted Brundrett Tuesday to set up a Town Hall meeting in Azle. At that meeting, Porter will listen to Azle’s newest police officer was officially sworn in during the city council meeting Tuesday, Dec. 17.

cials will be in attendance. The Town Hall meeting hosted by Porter is slated for Thursday, Jan. 2, 2014, from 5-7 p.m. at the Azle High School auditorium and is free to attend. The TRC is comprised of Chairman Barry T. Smitherman, Commissioner Porter and Commissioner Christi Craddick, along with a staff of 20. The Commission regulates the oil and gas industry, gas utilities, pipeline safety, safety in the liquefied petroleum gas industry, and surface coal and uranium mining in the state of Texas. And whether it’s true or not, there’s a widely-held belief that the area

earthquakes are somehow related to the oil and gas industry. Some blame fracking, but there’s more evidence to suggest the cause may actually be the disposal of saltwater from the fracking process into injection wells. That’s where the TRC comes in. Brundrett said that although Porter indicated he was responding to the request for a formal investigation into the earthquakes, such an investigation was not further discussed in the conversation. Anyone who wants information or has questions about the earthquakes is encouraged to attend this Town Hall meeting.

Propane leak, ignition destroy local home ■ PROPANE, FROM PAGE ONE.

destroyed home, but thought to herself, “That’s a bad fire somewhere.” Deputy Tarrant County Fire Marshal Keith Ebel says a propane leak caused the blast, and results from pressure testing conducted by the Texas Railroad Commission may or may not narrow the exact location of the leak down. Large amounts of wood framing, entire window frames and insulation were blown across the street from where the house sat. A “garage apartment” behind the main home that was rented to an individual was not damaged in the incident. Pickard lost at least one of several pets in the explosion and fire, but three dogs escaped with minor injuries. Neighbors who found a pug Debris, including insulation, windows and framing, was blown across the street from the home and into a nearby dog singed in the fire took it to tree and fence.

their home and tried to comfort it with food and water. When they realized Pickard had returned alive and well, they brought the pug to her and she was overjoyed to see him. Firefighters from Azle, Lake Worth, LaJunta, Eagle Mountain, River Oaks, Parker County ESD1, and the Tarrant County Arson Task Force all responded to the scene. That Task Force is comprised of personnel from area fire departments who are trained and skilled in arson investigation, and each member volunteers for the duty. Azle Fire Marshal Kenny Wilson, Engineers John Behm, Jon Reed and Billy Johnson, and support member Paul Bales are all members of the Tarrant County Arson Task Force. Task Force members were also called to investigate a two-alarm warehouse fire in Haltom City in the wee hours of Thursday, Dec. 19.

Firefighters spray hotspots in the foundation of a home on Appian Way Tuesday evening after a propane leak cause the house to explode.

Mother charged with endangering child ■ MOTHER, FROM PAGE ONE. old.

At this point officers contacted the Department of Family Services/Child Protective Services investigator to report the incident and they responded. After a complete investigation it was learned that Ms. Jenkins was in the front yard of her residence with her three other children when one of them injured a foot. Ms. Jenkins took the other kids into the house, but somehow overlooked the 19 month

While Jenkins and the other children were inside, the baby managed to get out of the yard and crawl down the street. He was found about 250 feet from the home. To give that distance some perspective, a football field is 300 feet long. The decision was made to file criminal charges against the mother for endangering a child, a second-degree felony. A warrant was obtained and

The Spirit of Christmas

Ms. Jenkins was arrested without incident Dec. 19. The children were removed from the residence by CPS investigators that evening and placed in the care of extended family members. “This just goes to prove what parents should already know – children have to be watched all the time, or they can get away from you,” Combs said. “This is a busy time of year for everyone, but children come first and foremost.”

MGP seats 26 in AllRegion Bands Area, then State berths eyed by AHS musicians BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN The Azle High School Marching Green Pride (MGP) placed 13th overall as a band in the Texas State Marching Band contest in November. Now, individual AHS band students are climbing the steps necessary to see who will make it to the All-Area and then the All-State bands. Those students started things off right at AllRegion auditions, with 26 individuals named to the All-Region band. Eight of those students will also advance to Area auditions. “These students have been working on difficult music for four months and did an outstanding job,” said assistant band director Kim Murphy. “We wish the best to those who will be advancing to Area competition in January in their quest to make it to the TMEA (Texas Music Educators Association) All-State band, the highest individual achievement for a high school musician.” Murphy added that freshman All-Region auditions will be held Jan. 13 at Denton Ryan High School and she’s confident some ninth graders will be added to the list once those results are posted. In the meantime, the following musicians are basking in the All-Region limelight: ● Makayla Almeida, flute, 5A Symphonic Band, advances to Area ● Kayla Karnes, oboe, Concert Band ● Geena Thompson, Eb clarinet, Symphonic Band, advances to Area

This large yellow gantry crane has inspired many people to call Ace World Company, the engineering company who built the structure, to inquire what exactly it is. Photo by Natalie Gentry

What is that thing?! Azle company building huge shipyard cranes for Miss. BY NATALIE GENTRY The skyline at Ace World Company at 10200 Jacksboro Highway has recently changed. The addition of an incredibly large yellow structure to the landscape has left many commuters wondering what the behemoth could be. The short answer is that it is a 20-ton gantry crane that will be used to build warships for the U.S. military. This is the fifth of nine structures that Ace World Company is constructing for Ingall’s Shipbuilding in Pascagoula, Mississippi. This is the same shipyard where the USS New York was built from steel salvaged from the World Trade Center and the USS Cole was repaired after being attacked by terrorists in 2000. “When the shipbuilders have three or four of these cranes lined

up it is almost like a modular assembly line for ships,” Dan Kalsel, Ace director of aftermarket, said. He explained that Hurricane Katrina blew through Mississippi, the shipyard lost $1 billion worth of cranes. So the new cranes Ace developed can withstand 175 mile per hour wind loads. While this may sound like a rare request to many people, cranes, hoists and end trucks are what Ace does. Ace takes raw steel to create every component that goes into the cranes or hoists except for the nuts and bolts. “We’ve built for the nuclear, aerospace and steel industries, among others.” said Henry Baldree, machine shop manager. “A lot people don’t know what we actually do here, so when they see a structure go up, they call and ask about it.”

I have lots of love to give!

Ladies set for duals finals

The Lady Hornet wrestling team has a shot at the district duals championship after a strong showing in Weatherford. Azle lost to the hosts but beat Saginaw in a tie-breaker. That means AHS will face Byron Nelson for the district title. That’s impressive, coach Chris Allen said. “We were out-manned or out-woman-ed? They had a full lineup and we had six weights missing.” Five of six Lady Hornets got pins, tying Saginaw 30-30. Allen said three athletes did not participate due to “team violations.” The boys split their two duals matches. Azle beat Weatherford but lost to Saginaw. “We started slow and sloppy but started wrestling better,” he recalled. “We have to do the little things right because of how inexperienced we are.” Allen lauded the efforts of JV athletes Dylan Dale and Seth Bell. Next for the boys is a trip to the Oklahoma Invitational.

Guyer tough on Azle

BY MARK K. CAMPBELL Denton Guyer came calling to the AHS gym Dec. 17 and left with a pair of victories – each different. The Lady Hornets led the Lady Wildcats by as many as nine points in the second half. But missed free throws late and some key DGHS buckets allowed Guyer to rally. Azle (10-7, 1-2) still led in the final seconds. But a foul at midcourt with a mere two seconds remaining meant two freebies for Guyer; both were made and AHS was saddled with a crushing 49-48 defeat. Payton Berger led Azle with 15 points. Taylor Fulfer scored 10 and Valarie Matlock added 8 points. Next, the Hornets opened district play against the Wildcats, ranked No. 11 in 4A right now. Guyer won, 80-28. All of Azle’s points were scored by five players. Leading the way was Billy Stevens who netted 11. Jason Templeton scored 9, Peyton Smith 5, Jesse Salisbury 2, and Ty Fair 1. Both AHS squads play in the Castleberry holiday tournament Hornet Ty Fair (5) races a Denton Guyer Wildcat to a loose ball.

His education is based in kinesiology – the study of human movement with an emphasis in rehabilitation. With his years and years of practical experience, he trains and treats clients’ physical needs and issues, both physiologically and biomechanically to each’s greatest potential. Cooper is certainly not a “rep counter,” one who simply watches a client push weights around. He and the pros at Gym X offer clients rapt attention to detail and exceptional customer service. Why hire a personal trainer? Cooper gives his 10 reasons: 1. Motivation. A trainer will prove the encouragement you need and take you to levels in your workout that you never would have gone alone. 2. Individual instruction. A trainer will design a workout program that is specific to a client’s needs and goals. 3. Consistency. Work smarter, not harder. Intensity, time, and sticking to the program are all keys to achieving goals. 4. Efficient workouts. Make the best use of time by making every minute count

with workouts that keep moving in the right direction. 5. Safety. Learning how equipment works and using correct form to avoid unnecessary injury. 6. Supervision. A trainer provides great support for spotting correct form and informative feedback on progress. 7. Special needs. Clients with specific health issues require special assistance and guidelines in starting and maintaining a wellness program. 8. Rehabilitation. An educated trainer assists with safe return from injury and provides specific exercises to strengthen body to protect from further injury. 9. Sport specific/event specific. S.A.I.D. (Specific Adaptation to Imposed Demands) principles. This allows a client to achieve specified goals within their time line. 10. Results. Clients working with trainers not only see results but see those results faster and maintain them longer.

Recalling the Ghosts of Christmas Presents Past

ack in the old days, you actually bought people Christmas presents. A gift card is as lazy as “wrapping” a present by tossing it into a bag. (Having said all that, I’m fine with gift cards in my old age; however, even today I never choose a bagged present at a gift exchange. Surprises are supposed to be unwrapped.) With the current gift card frenzy, it’s very easy and tempting to snatch up a Starbucks/Red Lobster/iTunes card at a grocery store register and – voila! – a major chunk of your Christmas shopping is done. (One reason why we might not have given gift cards much back in the pri-

Still, I scored a couple of Cabbage Patches for my six and four year olds while many grown adults, thwarted, frantically rushed away, heading off to the next store that was rumored – in those pre-cellphone days – to be getting a shipment. (Today, I think those beloved dolls are in some box out in our remote workshop, somewhere – patiently waiting for the pendulum to swing and for Cabbage Patches to come back in style once more.) In later years, we fought for Pound

Puppies – that was 1986 and they were surprisingly hard to find – then came the Nintendo Wars which erupted a second time when Nintendo 64s arrived. We spent years buying the hot Christmas gifts which now are quaint memories. Remember Rollerblades? Walkman CD players? Pagers? Rubik’s cubes? Now grandkids are around; it took a while but I finally found a Zhu Zhu Pet a couple of Christmases ago. So I didn’t have to give a four year old a gift card in a bag. Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and bought some Frozen dolls early this year.

Influence of Scots on history is tremendous

hen students arrive at school in the fall, many teachers ask them to write an essay on “What I did during my summer vacation.” This column is my essay on “What I did while iced in for five days in December.” Among other things I read a book entitled, How the Scots Invented the Modern World by Arthur Herman. I was amazed. This explanation may get a bit deep, but I will try to tell it as simply as possible. Because of 16th century Reformation preacher John Knox, Scots were taught that political power came from God, not to kings, but to the people. Another Scot, George Buchanan, wrote a book stating that philosophy in 1579. (This was long before John Locke, our founding fathers, and our Declaration of Independence, folks.) This democratic spirit in Scotland took a century to grow, but in 1696 Scotland's Parliament ordered that a

THE

school be established in every parish. By 1750 nearly every town had a lending library. It was the Scots who published the first Encyclopedia Britannica in 1768. Scotland's literacy rate rose higher than any other country in the world by the end of the 1700s. Between 1720 and 1840 their number of college students tripled, partly because a university education was fairly reasonable. Universities in Glasgow and Edinburgh for the first time gave courses in history, botany, medicine, law, natural sciences and mathematics. Prior to that universities taught only theology. In 1707 Scotland had become a part of the British Commonwealth, which gave Scots a broader influence than they otherwise would have enjoyed. Scottish students benefiting from the educational system included Adam Smith whose book Wealth of Nations appeared in 1776. Smith said, “Whenever capital [money] predominates, industry prevails, which increases the real wealth and revenue of all its

inhabitants.” Glasgow's Chamber of Commerce, the first in Britain, began in 1783. Smith agreed with Scotland's emphasis on education when he wrote that ignorant citizens may become easy prey to a demagogue and applaud every attempt to undermine the foundations of the liberty they

enjoyed. What gave the Scots a great deal of influence worldwide was their immigration to various parts of the British colonies: Australia, New Zealand, Africa, Canada, and, of course, what became the United States. James I

settled Protestant Scots in Ulster in Northern Ireland. Their descendants, came mostly to the American South. At least one-third of the signers of the Declaration of Independence were of Scot heritage. When Highland lords could not make a living anymore with their peasants and land, they turned to sheep grazing, clearing out the settlers. These “clearances” sent many poor Scots abroad. In America their values of pride and hard work served them well. Part of their success came because, even though poor, they enjoyed a better education than immigrants from other countries. Some influential Americans with Scot ancestors were: Patrick Henry, Andrew Jackson, John C. Calhoun, Francis Scott Key, John Paul Jones, Alexander Hamilton, James Madison, Jim Bowie, Daniel Boone, William Clark (of Lewis and Clark fame), Sam Houston, General Winfield Scott, Kit Carson, James Marshall (who discovered gold at Sutter's Fort in Califor-

nia), Samuel F. B. Morse (telegraph), Alexander Graham Bell (telephone), President Rutherford B. Hayes, Andrew Carnegie (steel magnate) and President Woodrow Wilson. Scots who did not come to America but influenced the world nevertheless, were James Watt who perfected the steam engine, James Lind, who discovered that citrus fruit would cure scurvy.

Movie Man

Wednesday, December 25, 2013

This just in: 2nd Anchorman painfully unfunny Comments from Will Ferrell pictures are not alone in inserting themselves into the Movie Man family. Like with many other films, Movie Family picks up comic sayings and they become part of the Family’s historical record. About the film That’s happened twice with Ferrell. No one can go swimming anymore with Movie Family and not hear “Cannonball!” from the first Anchorman picture (2004, Movie Man No. 568, 5). An even more repeated line from a Ferrell movie is “Did you hear that?!” from Elf (2003, MM #534, 7) said after a very long, soft drink-induced burp. It’s too early to tell if this latter, lesser edition of Ferrell’s Ron Burgandy and his pals adventures will inspire anything else in the general or Movie Family vernacular. From the Movie Man’s first look at Anchorman 2: The Legend Continues, that’s not likely since nothing really stood out. One thing about Ferrell: He’s not shy. He promoted Anchroman 2 incessantly, even taking part in “real” newscasts. He surely knows the allure of the Anchormans and, for some reason, the woeful Step Brothers (2008; the Movie Man passed on it, choosing instead that late July 2008 X-Files 2: I Want to Believe [MM #783, 5]). Ferrell’s Anchormans are silly-dumb. Now, there’s funnysilly-dumb and just silly-dumb. Great examples of the former are the Naked Gun movies. Superbad (2007, MM #732, 2) is a classic case of silly-dumb which equals unfunny.

eos) picks only Applegate. That breaks up Ferrell’s marriage. A stint at SeaWorld goes poorly. However, he’s approached and offered a job in the new field of 24-hour cable news. Accepting, he rounds up his previous team: reporter Brian (Paul Rudd), weatherman Brick (Steve Carell), and sportscaster Champ (David Koechner). They head from San Diego to New York to begin the broadcasts only to discover they’ve been relegated to the graveyard shift of 3-5 a.m. The primo prime time spot went to Lime (James Marsden). Ferrell’s crew breaks the rules by veering away from hard news and issuing pap – animal stories, entertainment fluff, and car chases. They become a huge success, much to the surprise then delight of boss Linda (Meagan Good). Eventually, Ferrell and his boys fall out; plus he can’t find time for his son. And, oh yeah, he also goes blind. Later, Marsden’s crew ambushes Ferrell, ready for a fight. Rudd, Carell, and Koechner show up. But so do news teams from Canada, the BBC, MTV, ESPN, and, confusingly, the History Channel, armed with a Minotaur and the ghost of Stonewall Jackson (John C. Reilly). A battle royale begins as Fer-

motion and trick photography, the foursome fly around, getting bonked with the balls and having scorpions latch on to them, all with the appropriate screams and wacky sound effects. It’s pretty funny.

Summing up Perhaps Anchorman 2 would be more enjoyable if seen with a crowd. (It actually makes a social comment on the recent dumbing down of news reporting, but frat boys won’t care about that.) The small group with the Movie Man didn’t laugh eight times. Supposedly, enough adlib footage was shot to make more Burgandy movies. Hopefully, a DVD release will make the movie more fun – ‘cause it ain’t very funny right now.

What doesn’t work A big part of Anchorman 2 are non sequiturs – things said that make no sense and are supposed to be funny because they come out of nowhere. Almost none of them are humorous. There’s a painfully unfunny scene where Ferrell can’t help saying the word “black” to the Next up African-American Good. (It’s Saving Mr. Banks – and the a rip-off of Austin Powers in Best and Worst of 2013. Goldmember’s “mole” joke which is a hundred times funnier when done by Mike Myers and Fred Savage.)

Al Burkett, of Azle, wrote a song celebrating a community Christmas tradition in his old stomping grounds of Demopolis, Alabama. Photo by Natalie Gentry

Azle man pens Alabama Christmas on the River song BY NATALIE GENTRY The 1950’s was a time of introductions for current Azle resident Al Burkett. The songwriter lived in Demopolis, Alabama then and he was introduced to his son’s mother as well as the local holiday festival, Christmas on the River (COTR). “I’ve been around Demopolis almost all of my life and my son still lives there,” Burkett said. “A couple years ago we went to Christmas on the River and it was wonderful.”

According to the Demopolis Chamber of Commerce website, over 40,000 people visited the town during COTR last year. In fact, the festival has been featured on HGTV and the Food Network. “It never dawned on me to write a song about COTR,” Burkett said. “Then I kept thinking ‘Why not?’” Once the decision had been made the work began. “I spent hours and hours researching the event,” Burkett explained. “I wanted to get it

right.” According to A&E TV, Demopolis is the fifth ranked ultimate holiday town in the U.S. because of COTR. The week-long event begins with the lighting of the love trees at the local hospital and progresses with evenings devoted to events like a live nativity, a tour of antebellum homes, the Alabama State Champion ship BBQ cook-off, an arts and crafts show, parades, and fireworks. The festival culminates with the COTR dance.

Many of these events are mentioned in the song. “I try to write songs about real things,” Burkett said. “This song is about a town celebrating Christmas in a way that also helps local children.” COTR began in 1972 when two men, Nem Webb and Barry Collins, organized the festival to help raise money for a child from the community who had a disability or rare illness. “It is so wonderful that everyone in the town comes together for this,” Burkett said. “I just knew I needed to write

about it. “I got into songwriting as a type of therapy, he explained. “I was going through some hard times, and just wrote it down. “Now it is really important that I feel about whatever I’m writing,” he continued. “And if you can’t feel about helping children and Christmas – well, you’ve got a problem.” The song is a fast tempo tune sung by artist country Lou Watson in the vein of Merle Hag-

gard. “I love the songs with the old country flavor,” Burkett said. “Since I wrote this song I’ve made a lot of good contacts,” he said. “I’ve had about seven other cities – including the ski resort village of Angel Fire in New Mexico – contact me about writing songs for them. “This has been so wonderful; I just can’t thank everyone enough who has helped me out.”

BY NATALIE GENTRY You can be a last-minute Christmas hero. As the holiday draws near, many people are searching for ways to reach out to children in need in an effort to make this time of year a little brighter. The City of Reno Christmas Angel Tree is one great way to help. There are nine Angels on the tree who still need to be adopted. Anyone interested in sponsoring an angel may do so at City Hall during regular busi-

ness hours. In addition to the Angel Tree, the city will provide the families most in need with a Christmas dinner, as well as essential outer clothing and a gift for the children. There are 14 families who need help this year. A $50 donation provides a whole family with a dinner, but donations of any size are truly appreciated.
