This Week in Azle History

1 Year AgoLast August, an interactive earthquake kiosk – “Our

Active Earth” – from SMU was set up in the Azle Me-morial Library lobby. It’s still there.

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANFifteen 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 re-sponded in a big way.

With the support of the city of Azle, its Crime Control and Prevention Dis-trict (CCPD) and Azle’s business com-munity, Pippins announced a signage effort to remind motorists not to leave children or pets unattended in cars.

“The CCPD provided funds to pur-chase the signs, and the business com-munity 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 uni-fi ed 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 Un-attended” – 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, Brook-shire’s, Bealls, Ace Hardware, Dollar General, Cash America Pawn, Laura’s

‘Not in Azle!’ Police department program aims to keep kids, pets out of hot cars

Pharmacy, Aaron’s Rental, Family Dollar, Sears Hometown Store, Na-tional Bank of Texas, Pinnacle Bank, BBVA Compass, Prosperity Bank, Little Farmer’s Day Care, and Park Place Plaza.

Members of the Azle Animal Shel-ter Humane Association (AASHA) are also active proponents of the effort.

Following a press briefi ng Monday, Aug. 17, Pippins and Det. Sgt. Kevin Rogers demonstrated for those in at-tendance 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 fi rst tested it.

Within a very few minutes, Pippins pointed the heat gun into the car’s in-terior again and recorded a tempera-ture of 147 degrees.

“We have the ability to follow up on cases, and we’ve even fi led 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 fi rst 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 inter-ested in posting a sign they can con-tact him at 817-444-3221.

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANThe city of Azle sprayed a tar-

geted 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 sam-ples collected at various locations in Azle all tested negative for the pres-ence 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 ac-tive ingredients DEET, Picaridin, IR3535 or oil of lemon eucalyptus (these are recommended by the Cen-

ter for Disease Control and Prevention and approved by the Environmental Protection Agency). Always follow label instructions

• wear light colored clothing with long sleeves and pants when feasible

• avoid wearing fragrances or co-logne

• be most cautious during dusk and dawn hours

• routinely dump standing water on your property, and change water in pet dishes, birdbaths and wading pools frequently

The city will continue to trap and collect mosquitoes at locations throughout the city to monitor the population for mosquito-borne ill-nesses.

Latest samples test negative for WNV

BY MARK K. CAMPBELLAn idea that came to a Springtown

woman jogging years ago is about to spread to Azle.

Move, Pray, Obey was begun by Mary Orms on Aug. 26, 2013.

That was the fi rst day of school in Springtown.

Now, MPO will kick off in Azle on the fi rst day of school here, Aug. 24.

In the beginningIn 2011, Orms was out for a run

and felt convicted to begin MPO af-ter wondering, “How do I love people that I don’t know?”

She said God answered, “Pray for them.”

That set in motion MPO – a min-istry not bound to any church but open to all Chris-tians.

On Aug. 26, 2013, a group gathered at the Springtown Tab-ernacle down-town and began fanning out to meet with and pray for others – and the town and schools.

Since that fi rst Monday, the group never fails to meet; only once, during an ice storm did they have to postpone its walk to a Thursday.

“Every single week, we have cov-ered Springtown in prayer,” she said.

Headed to AzleOccasionally, local resident Linda

Patterson joined in the prayerful walk.“I work with Elaine Murphy, and

that’s how I heard about it,” Patterson said.

She said her church, Outreach of Love, regularly ventures out month-ly to “knock on doors” and reach others.

But, Patterson said, she really liked the idea of doing something weekly.

“When I saw [MPO] included other

Prayers for AzleMove, Pray, Obey ministry to start

at Central Park Aug. 24churches, well, I grabbed a hold of that,” she said.

Once her busy schedule eased fol-lowing her May 31 retirement, Patter-son said, “I fi nally had some time and I wanted to get it in Azle.”

Invited to the Azle Ministerial Al-liance luncheon, she discussed MPO, and it was more than well received.

“They were all very excited,” she recalled.

While visiting individual churches, many there made copies of MPO fl i-ers to give to parishioners – then made extra copies for Patterson.

First time outThe initial outing is set for 6 p.m.

Monday, Aug. 24 at the amphithe-ater in Central Park off Main Street by the Memorial Li-brary.

P a t t e r s o n said she will have a lim-ited number of shirts on hand – more are on order – to give to participants.

Initially: “We’ll take some time to get to know each other,” she said.

Then the group will disperse into Azle – with a prime target being schools.

MPO-ers will walk, others run, and some will drive to more distant loca-tions.

“Some can stay in the park and pray there, too,” Patterson said.

However many show up, they will: “Move through the community in small groups; Pray personally with anyone who accepts the offer; and Obey God’s command to love our neighbors and show them His love through prayer.”

Patterson is ready to go: “I’m thrilled to have my boots on the ground.

“When the body of Christ comes to-gether, we can heal our land.”

Mary Orms

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANYoung 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 prepar-ing for two major events in the Explorer world.

Fort Worth academyPost members participated

in the Fort Worth Police De-partment 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 fi ve squads on the fi rst day, and most of Azle’s Explorers were in different units.

That gave them the opportu-nity to become close with fel-low Explorers from other posts.

“They learned real quick how to work together,” said Cpl. Pat Bovea, a school resource of-

Azle Explorers train early to walk blue line

fi cer at Azle High School and advisor to Explorer Post 203.

Each day at boot camp, a Ser-geant at Arms was chosen from among all participating Explor-ers. That Sergeant at Arms was

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 train-ing sites and at the chow hall, recruiting Explorers for clean-up, and making sure all Explor-ers were up on time for training in the mornings.

Two Azle Explorers were se-lected to Sergeant at Arms dur-ing 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 fi tness and well-ness, use of force, verbal and hands-on use of force with Redman suit (specifi cally used for training in police defensive tactics, made of thick foam

padding to protect the person wearing it from sustaining in-juries), crime scenes, handcuff-ing, bike patrol procedures, and building searches.

Explorers also got to experi-ence 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 demon-strated various tactics.

At the end of eight grueling days, all eight Azle Explorers graduated from Explorer Boot Camp Academy.

State competitionWith boot camp under their

belts, the Azle Explorers head-ed out for the event they’ve been training for all year long: the 2015 Texas Law Enforce-ment Explorer Advisors Asso-ciation (TLEEAA) State Com-petition.

The competition was held at the University of Texas at Ar-lington July 30-Aug. 2, and 33 police departments and 52 Ex-plorer posts were represented.

In all, 380 individual Explor-

ers from across Texas competed.Azle Explorers vied in the fol-

lowing scenarios: felony traffi c stops, traffi c accident investiga-tion, white collar crimes, gang activity, bomb threat, active shooter, arrest and search, crisis (hostage) negotiation, burglary in progress, intoxicated driver, unknown call for police, rob-bery in progress, crime scene search, offi cer down-rescue,

and domestic crisis.Azle Post #203 took two

teams to the competition.Team 1 – comprised of Ex-

plorer Sgt. B. Pidgeon, Ex-plorer K. Ramussen, Explorer N. Colchado and Explorer I. Muller – took second place in both the offi cer down and un-known call scenarios.

Team 2 – Explorer Lt. J. Law-ton, Explorer J. Briggs, Explor-er 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 Ex-plorer Post 203 say they real-ize opportunities such as boot camp and state competition would not be afforded without the continued support of the Azle Crime Control and Pre-vention District.

Young people who are at least 14 and have successfully com-pleted the eighth grade, or are 15 and enrolled in school, who are interested in learning more about the Azle Police Explorers Program can contact Bovea at [email protected].

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

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANAzle Independent School

District Finance Director Mon-ica Miller presented a Fiscal Year 2015-16 budget to the dis-trict’s Board of Trustees at its Monday, Aug. 17 meeting she called “conservative, with rev-enues based on zero growth.”

Even with a projected one-time, $2.4 million windfall from a deal with Trinidad Drill-ing, LLC brokered by Parker County Precinct 1 Commis-sioner George Conley, Miller isn’t counting any chickens be-fore they hatch.

“I’ve put most of that money into Capital Projects, and if and when it comes in, it’ll be there

AISD adopts budget, leaves tax rate alone

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 in-cludes 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 ap-proval. AISD does not antici-pate the need for a tax ratifica-tion 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 ap-proved both.

Miller ended her presentation on a high note, telling Trustees the district currently has a fund balance in excess of $13 mil-lion – enough to run the district for about three-and-one-half months.

Additional funds could arrive if drilling ‘windfall’ comes through

Escaped sex offender found shot dead on a South Carolina beach

BY NATALIE GENTRYAccording to the Texas De-

Azle Competitive Youth Sports (ACYS) Association held a cheer camp Saturday, Aug. 15 at the Azle High School gym. With help from the AHS cheerleaders, ACYS cheerleaders learned to cheers, dances, and techniques.

Learning to Cheer

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANSchool starts Monday, Aug.

24 in the Azle Independent School District and others, and the Azle Police Department needs your help to ensure a safe and incident-free school year.

Chief of Police Rick Pippins

APD urges caution with school start near

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 pa-trolled.

It’s also against Texas law to use a cell phone – by talk-ing, texting or otherwise – in a school zone.

According to the Texas De-partment of Transportation (TxDOT), one in fi ve 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 de-vice.

“We urge you to drive now and talk later. If you must make a phone call, pull over. Other-wise, 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 viola-tors and will issue citations or warnings as the situation dictates.”

Pippins suggests parents and others make themselves familiar with school bus routes and reminds driv-ers that they are required to stop and give right-of-way to school buses and pedes-trians who may be loading or unloading any time bus red lights are flashing.

“If everyone does their part and pays heed, we can have a safe and enjoyable school year,” Pippins said.

APD reminds motorists that school zones will be active again on Aug. 24 with the start of school.

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 Cha-pel. Visitation will be held from 6 - 8 p.m. Tuesday at the funeral home.

Mr. Higgins was not an or-dinary man, he adopted every person, or animal that needed a loving hand. He knew no stranger; he embraced every-one 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 wom-en 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 fam-ily 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 fi nding his best friend, camping bud-dy, 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-grand-children, great-great-grand-children, 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.”

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANGood 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, dis-trict offi cials lined up to report to the Board of Trustees Mon-day, Aug. 17.

Construction updateA tour of facilities under con-

struction 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 fi rst day of school.

A much-needed makeover of the AHS auditorium is com-plete, and it now boasts new carpet, paint, seating, and light-ing.

Although Trustees didn’t

AISD building momentum: Facilities, graduation rate, accountability, sports, ‘distinctions’ all shine

offi cially tour Hornet Field, a makeover there is well un-derway and visible from the school’s parking lot.

The completion of a new competition gymnasium is de-layed as a result of heavy spring rains that shifted the priority to completion of the CATE; but offi cials with contractor Bu-ford-Thompson Company re-port 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 Dis-trict Operations, said.

Questions did pop up about whether the CATE will be ready when school starts Mon-day, Aug. 24 – just days away.

But one Trustee quipped, “In Todd we trust!”

AccountabilityDuring the regular meet-

ing, Assistant Superintendent Tanya Anderson told the board the AISD “Met Standard” in the 2014 State Accountability

Report Including House Bill 5 Requirements.

“Every campus in the AISD met standard, and that includes the Hornet Academy, which needed improvement last year,” Anderson told Trustees.

“But last year, the district received four distinctions, all at Cross Timbers Elementary. This year, the district received 11 distinctions.”

Those distinctions included:• Azle High School – Aca-

demic Achievement in Science• Azle Elementary – Post-

Secondary Readiness• Hoover Elementary (two) –

Academic Achievement in Sci-ence as well as Top 25 Percent Closing Achievement Gaps

• Silver Creek Elementary (three) – Top 25 Percent Stu-dent Performance, Top 25 Percent Closing Achievement Gaps, and Post-Secondary Readiness

• Cross Timbers (four) – Aca-demic Achievement Reading/ELA, Top 25 Percent Closing Performance Gaps, Post-Sec-

ondary Readiness, and Top 25 Percent Student Progress.

Anderson credited principals and staff throughout the district for their hard work in bringing accountability scores up.

“More and more people are asking ‘What’s Azle doing?’ as they make decisions,” Ander-son said, pointing to a recent story in the Fort Worth Star-Telegram that stated Azle’s graduation rate increased from 90.9 to 94 percent from 2013 to 2014, among the greatest in-creases among Tarrant County districts.

The state average graduation rate is 88.3 percent, according to the same story.

Raise Your HandThree Azle ISD campuses

have applied for blended learn-ing grants from Raise Your Hand Texas, an advocate for public schools, Anderson reported.

“Silver Creek Elementary, Hoover Elementary, and Forte Junior High each applied and each has been named a semi-fi -

nalist,” Anderson told Trustees.Campuses can receive up to

$5,000 per campus if selected, but Anderson said even if none of the Azle schools is selected for the grant, she’s very excited about staff development they will receive as part of the grant process.

Sports updateAthletic Director Scott An-

derson briefed Trustees about a historic year for Azle sports

programs.On top of a year that saw four

AHS teams win district titles, the football, softball, volley-ball, girls’ basketball, and soc-cer teams each advanced into postseason competition, and the school had two state wrest-ing 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 win-ning, and the facility upgrades really help. Sports camp atten-dance is up 20 percent.”

Anderson also reminded Trustees about the inaugural class of the Azle Sports Hall of Fame to be recognized at half-time of the Homecoming foot-ball game Friday, Oct. 23 and inducted at a banquet Saturday, Oct. 24.

The class includes Jackie Swaim DiNardo, Stan Mauldin, Dan Mauldin, Wayne Walton, Chelsa Holder, Derek Dorris, and James Casey.

Maintenance crew honoredMembers of the Azle ISD

maintenance department were recognized for their hard work and dedication in helping to complete several in-house con-struction projects while main-taining day-to-day work order and the usual summertime workload.

Members of the Azle ISD maintenance crew were rec-ognized during a Monday, Aug. 17 school board meet-ing. Those present were: (l-r) Steve Culwell, David Er-vin, department head Randy Spiker, Ernest Johnston, and Donny Pardue.

NWA may have been unique, but in many regards, they were straight-up lawbreakers.

While some of their criminal misdeeds and derogatory atti-tudes toward women and gays are shown or mentioned, the film focuses more on the artis-tic side of the rise and fall of NWA. It’s a bit of a cop-out.

MC Ren and DJ Yella get

� NWA, FROM PAGE 14A. short shrift in the movie, but it’s already very long – too long – at almost two and a half hours.

The rating

This is a hardcore R. There is endless bad language – slurs and cussing – not to mention vivid examples of “rock ‘n’ roll excess” of women, drinking, and drugs.

Summing up

Straight Outta Compton is a solid music “bio-pic” – telling a story of a time and place and a one-of-a-kind uprising.

Naturally, conservatives will be mortified, especially with the flagrant disregard of author-ity.

Next up

The Movie Man might jump back and find something that’s been in theaters a while.

Buddy and Carolyn Brock of Ardmore, Oklahoma will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary on August 20, 2015. The couple met at Wayland Baptist University in Plainview, and was married at First Baptist Church in Tahoka. The Brocks have two children: Bryan (Robin) Brock of Atlanta, Georgia and Christy (Tim) Parham of Ar-dmore, Oklahoma. They have four grandchildren: Logan and Evan Brock and Ally and Brock Parham. Buddy coached football and Carolyn was a reading specialist. They served seven different school districts in three different states retiring from the Azle ISD in 2011. The couple celebrated their anniversary with a family trip to Myrtle Beach, South Carolina in July.

Willard Hazen Bone and Lillie Jo Hast-ings Bone are celebrating 70 years of marriage. The couple wed Aug. 18, 1945. Willard served in the U.S. Army and they spent the majority of their lives pastoring churches in several different states. Their family, Daniel and Marlene Bone, Douglas and Sherry Bone and Johnny and Judy Clayton, will host a celebration for the cou-ple from 5-7 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 22 at Azle Christian Church.

BY JACKIE “JJ” JOYLast 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 Cen-ter 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 ‘re-duced sodium’ or ‘no salt added’” and make them a variety. Another idea is to choose a va-riety 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 exercis-es. The idea is to keep moving.

Have a blessed week!

www.azlenews.netOPINION

Dear Editor:Here we are once again on

the one year anniversary of the big lie of the shooting death of unarmed black teenager Mi-chael Brown by white police officer Darren Wilson in “hands up, don't shoot” Ferguson, Mis-souri.

The lie still persists with the black populace in Ferguson intentionally blocking traffic, looting stores, throwing bricks at police officers, and with a

When anyone hears of the town of Bentonville, Ar-kansas, he or she probably thinks: “That's the head-

quarters of Walmart.” Bentonville was named for a prominent politician named Thomas Hart Benton who ex-erted great influence on the West. His daughter Jessie Benton Fremont was important in history too, as most cer-tainly was her husband John C. Fre-mont.

Benton, born in North Carolina in 1782, moved west to Tennessee where he became a protege of Andrew Jackson, serving as the latter’s aid-de-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 expan-sion, urging the settlement of the Or-egon boundary and also authoring the earliest land laws encouraging settlers. He favored the annexation of Texas.

Two later U.S. presidents wrote about Benton. Theodore Roosevelt wrote a biography, and John F. Kennedy in-cluded Benton in his book Profiles in Courage.

Benton’s daughter Jessie became known because of her father's promi-nent 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 intro-duced to the leading members of Con-gress. Close to her father, she read his many books and maps. She became fluent in French and Spanish, helping to translate some government docu-ments.

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 sur-vey.

Quickly do-ing the survey, Fremont came back to Wash-ington, and he and Jessie eloped. She traveled with him from army post to army post. Benton got over his d i s a p p r o v a l and used his in-fluence to help his new son-in-law.

Consequently, Fremont was as-signed to explore the west and pre-pare maps. Jessie moved in with her parents while Fremont set off in the spring of 1842 on the first of three im-portant Western expeditions. Even Kit Carson acted as guide.

Fremont later was tagged the “Path-finder to the West.” When he would return with a dry, detailed report, Jes-sie got him to describe the more color-

ful human interest stories, and added them to the account as she transcribed it. The public was anxious for infor-mation about the West, anyway, and due to Jessie's talents, the reports be-came 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 sena-tors.

The Fremonts settled in San Fran-cisco. In 1856 Fremont became the first candidate for president of the newly-formed Republican Party, and, of course, Jessie helped him cam-paign. Benton, a staunch Democrat, did not. Fremont lost a close race to James Buchanan.

In 1861 Abraham Lincoln appointed Fremont Commander of the Depart-ment of the West, and he and Jessie returned to St. Louis where during the Civil War Jessie helped organize a Soldiers’ Relief Society. Even be-fore Lincoln issued his Emancipation,

Fremont ordered all slaves in Missouri freed. He was removed from his posi-tion for doing so. Jessie went to Wash-ington and pleaded with Lincoln to reinstate her husband, but he refused.

The Fremonts moved back to Cali-fornia, and in the Panic of 1873 they lost their money in railroad invest-ments. 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 pen-sion, and she died at age 78 in 1902.

Jessie's father Thomas Hart Ben-ton had seven counties in seven states named after him, as well as Benton-ville, Indiana and Bentonville, Arkan-sas.

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!

Who was the ‘Benton’ of Bentonville, Arkansas

J’Nell L. Pate

PAGES FROM WESTERN HISTORY

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.

This 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 com-pletely 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,” par-ticularly of the world and/or national variety. My only news-paper 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 Ef-fective People, described the difference between a “circle of concern” and a “circle of influ-ence.” Your circle of concern can be huge. These are the things that you are concerned about, but over which you have al-most zero influence. How much influence do you have over the

actions of ISIS, t h e nuclear c a p a -bilities of Iran, S C O -T U S rulings, or the l a t e s t actions of the current p r e s i -dent?

Your local, small town news-paper (especially if it is a week-ly) doesn’t spend much time covering those things because they are “old news” by the time the paper goes to print. The lo-cal 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 par-ticipate.

The more energy you invest in your circle of concern, the less energy you will have to in-vest 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 re-discovering the lost treasure of community.

I am significantly into social media and online community. The fact that my blog and pod-cast are accessible to anyone in the world with an internet con-nection is amazing to me, and I love hearing from people whom I will likely never meet face to face.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR

known thug, Tyrone Harris, at-tempting 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 of-ficers.

Could someone please ad-vise 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 ty-rannically 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 ad-vice to these First Amendments folks?

When writing the words on your signs like “Poilce are Pigs,” keep in mind that the let-ter ‘I’ comes after the letter ‘L’ in the word “Police.”

Bottom line: Learn to spell.

ON YOURMARK

Mark K. Campbell

Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and still has two VCRs.

I grew up during the mir-acle of television.

As innovations came along – color! bigger screens! 24-hour pro-gramming! – 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 Is-land. 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 hat-ed 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 Mon-day! At night! Announced by beloved former Cowboy quar-terback Don Meredith!

And if Dallas was playing, well, that was as good as any-thing 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 l i m i t ; he nev-er bit on the concept that rev-olution-ized the p l a n e t

– cable TV.For decades, we were happy

with three channels, watching the tube until the “Star-Span-gled 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, sud-

denly you never had to turn it off; there was always some-thing 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 ser-vice plus ever-expanding tech-nology 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 chan-nels is substantially cheaper

than basic cable. And you have the convenience of watching TV on multiple devices when-ever 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 let-ters, answering machines. tele-grams, Rolodexes, and pinball machines.

Cable’s death: Another shocking 21st century change – it’s enough to silence even Maude.

12A OPINION Azle News Wednesday, August 19, 2015

University president says Davis statue to be moved

A bronze statue of Jefferson Da-vis, president of the Confed-erate 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 interi-or display, in accordance with a decision made last week by UT President Gregory Fenves.

Fenves said he appointed a task force in June, shortly af-ter he became president, “to identify options for the statues along the Main Mall that have long been a source of discus-sion, debate and more recently, controversy.” The task force re-ported its fi ndings to Fenves on Aug. 10.

“While every historical fi gure 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

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 ex-plained 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 well-curated, 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 — includ-ing the papers of George W. Littlefi eld, 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 Da-vis statue. The Briscoe Center has long planned a renovation of its facility, including new ex-hibit space, and my offi ce will help raise the remaining funds

n e e d e d for its comple-t i o n , ” F e n v e s added.

T h e Sons of C o n -federa te Veterans fi led a r e q u e s t for a re-straining o r d e r ahead of the stat-

ue’s Aug. 15 move date. A Tra-vis County state district court is expected to review the matter this week.

Suspect arrested in IowaTexas Department of Public

Safety on Aug. 13 published a bulletin announcing the arrest of a suspect in Iowa who was be-ing sought in connection with

arson of a vehicle in the Texas Capitol parking lot on Aug. 7.

The suspect, Michael Patrick Wagner, 38, is being held in the Linn County (Iowa) jail and ex-tradition proceedings have be-gun and are pending.

“Thanks to great police and investigative work by local, state and federal law enforce-ment 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 Mc-Craw.

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 fi ne of up to $10,000.

Records forms to changeTexas Department of State

Health Services on Aug. 13 announced its review of vital events forms and all vital event areas and records that may be

affected by a U.S. Supreme Court decision and a U.S. dis-trict court decision reached earlier this summer that require state and local governments to recognize same-sex marriage.

“As a result, DSHS is imple-menting revised policies and procedures and also will amend certain vital events forms and records related to vital-events records to recognize married, same-sex couples,” the agency stated in a news release.

Those records include birth certifi cates, death certifi cates, supplementary birth certifi cates (for adoptions) and birth certifi -cates resulting from gestational agreements (surrogacy).

Local registrars or other en-tities that may fi le vital infor-mation such as hospitals and funeral homes will receive re-vised forms and instructions when they become available.

Sales tax revenue increasesState Comptroller Glenn

Hegar on Aug. 13 announced his agency’s monthly distribu-tion of sales tax revenue to lo-cal governments would be an estimated $760 million.

Local sales tax allocations for the month of August repre-sent an increase of 7.6 percent compared to August 2014.

Hegar also said state sales tax revenue in July was $2.4 bil-lion, 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.”

STATE CAPITAL

HIGHLIGHTSEd Sterling

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.

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 memori-alizing 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 atten-tion to prevent another automo-bile accident.

In fact, if a driver were look-ing at the crosses and trying to read the small print giving us the names of the deceased and

DOD, there certainly could be another wreck.

It is a little like texting, put-ting 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 neg-ligent in letting this go on for way too long without instruc-tions as to how long the crosses can remain on the side of the roads without becoming more litter.

Respectfully from a mom who remembers Nancy Lindley Lakeside

Ladies tangle with tourney rivalsBY MARK K. CAMPBELLThe fi rst 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, 22-25, 15-25) and Celina (19-25, 13-25, 14-25).

Later, AHS faced a trio of squads, bringing the tourney total to fi ve contests.

Azle defeated Lubbock Mon-terey, sweeping to a 25-8, 25-15, 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 com-petition that will only improve our overall game; tournaments are great for development.

“The girls are improving ev-ery time they step on the court,” Robinson said. “This is fun to watch.”

Another tourney looms, at Northwest.

It looks like the Movie Man made the right choice by going to see Straight Outta Comptonover The Man from U.N.C.L.E.

The former exploded box offi ce analysts’ expectations while the latter tanked.

About the fi lmAt 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 mu-sic that had never been record-ed 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 fl agrant disdain for authority – made them con-servative pariahs.

He was not the only NWA member to fi nd mainstream success. Ice Cube, the group’s primary lyricist, wrote the movie Friday and became a bona fi de 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 vio-lence on the opening week-end – and some theaters didn’t carry the fi lm for that reason – nothing happened, even with auditorium shootings still in re-cent memory.

Another concern was the current tinderbox situation be-tween some African-Ameri-cans and police offi cers. NWA’s most famous song is a screed against cop brutality and un-fair minority treatment in their ‘hoods, “F*** the Police.”

None of those concerns mate-rialized and the movie is a big hit. With Dr. Dre inspired to release new music – his “grand

fi nale” – because of the movie and Ice Cube producing (his son portrays him), Straight Outta Compton will be around a while.

The plotIn 1987, Dr. Dre (Corey

Hawkins) is a DJ who is a ge-nius at creating beats and longs to get his music out to the world. Ice Cube (O’Shea Jack-son, Jr.) constantly scribbles lyrics into several notebooks, recording what he sees in ev-eryday 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 fl ash.

Dre, tired of playing old school music in clubs, convinc-es Easy E to invest in reality rap, a new truth-based, beat-driven genre that Dre is sure will take off.

The trio’s fi rst 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 ex-plodes. With lyrics profane and “from the street,” the angry NWA is relatable to more than

just excluded minorities. White kids – already fans of rap – fi ll 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 in-tense 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 in-timidation tactics, he’s a force to be reckoned with.

NWA splinters. Ice Cube be-comes a solo star and Dr. Dre records, produces, and discov-ers 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.

What worksThere’s some really nice act-

ing here. The main thrust of the fi lm is Ice Cube’s and Jackson is memorable. So are Hawkins,

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 jolt-ing when NWA launches into “F*** the Police.”

The early scenes are effective as the group begins to come to-gether. A sequence where gang-bangers 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 Stanfi eld) 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 uncontrol-lable as they dance in the studio.

Best sceneIce Cube has an acrimonious

split with NWA over money. He records a scathing attack on ev-ery member of the group – even Jerry who blows his top when he, a Jew, suffers discrimina-tion fi rst hand. The band mem-bers wince at being jabbed; it’s funny until Ice Cube turns his venom on the next guy.

What doesn’t workAfter a fantastic fi rst hour,

the fi lm begins to meander late. When the disintegration of NWA comes, the fi lm’s relent-less momentum is braked.

Without question, the gang-sta lifestyle is glamorized.

BY MARK K. CAMPBELLParker 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 fire-fighters – 15 paid and around 100 volunteers – cutting edge in the profession.

Today's volunteer firefighters are long removed from the ste-reotypical idea of what a volun-teer was.

“The old guys used to volun-teer and they'd get on – here's a shirt,” Watson said. Some of them felt they didn't have to train because they were volun-teering.

That's not the case today.Watson said, “Expectations

of service has changed.”That's why he took 16 fire-

fighters 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.

The ESDThe district Watson oversees

is 265 square miles, he said.That en-

compasses P e a s t e r , out High-way 199 to near the Poo lv i l l e C u t - O f f , east to Azle, and

ESD chief fired up about training and professionWatson oversees more than 100 firefighters protecting 265 square miles

south to Aledo at Highway 377.At least two paid firefighters

are always on duty; that's been the case since last December.

Watson said, “That reduces response times, especially at night.”

The curtailing of responding times has been dramatic.

Once, the time frame that be-gan with leaving the station to rendering aid was 7 minutes.

That has been slashed to 4 minutes on weekdays.

And “turn out time” – how long it takes a fire company to respond after receiving a dis-patch to literally getting the truck rolling – dropped to a mere 52 seconds.

CallsAround 50 percent of all ESD

calls are medical, Watson said.

“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 prac-tices twice annually at remov-ing people in accidents, adding that changing vehicle technol-ogy and construction make the effort ever changing.

Red flag days get the atten-tion of the chief. Those low humidity times can result in substantial wildfire and pas-tureland fires, he said.

“We need a rapid response,” he said, noting that extra per-sonnel are called in if neces-sary.

Watson sees that EDS per-sonnel are trained in hazardous materials handling “especially with the gas industry around here.”

The futureRight now, Watson is respon-

sible for 7 stations and 33 piec-es of apparatus.

On the horizon is Poolville possibly joining the EDS, and Watson is all for that.

If the November vote permits it, having Poolville on board will only help the district.

“There is strength in col-laboration,” Watson said. “The bigger we are, the less costs are.”

And there are costs. Outfit-ting a single firefighter can reach $10,000 he said.

Equipment can run $3,500 then it's $4,000 for breathing

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMANMost area cities and special

purpose districts saw healthy to even large increases to sales tax revenue for August as compared to August 2014.

Parker County, the city of Sanctuary, and the town of Lakeside, howev-er, saw decreases.

Texas Comp-troller Glenn Hegar will send cities, counties, transit systems and special pur-pose taxing dis-tricts their August local sales tax al-locations totaling $760.2 million, which represents an increase of 7.6 percent compared to August 2014.

The August tax fi gures represent monthly sales made in June – as well as April and May by business-es that report tax quarterly.

The city of Reno saw the greatest increase in the area with $14,248, up 58.02 per-cent from August 2014’s $9,016.

H o w e v e r , $6,425 of the August increase comes from audit collections; oth-erwise, the city’s sales tax revenue for August would have been $7,830, representing a drop of 13.15 percent from August 2014 to-tals.

For calendar 2015, the city has received $73,290, up 35.55 percent from $54,066 through August 2014.

A 1/2-cent sales tax in-crease to Reno’s sales tax rate – a measure approved by vot-ers in May to offset property taxes – will begin being col-lected Oct. 1.

Springtown also saw a healthy increase of 22.20 per-cent, with $102,736 in Au-gust, compared with $84,066 in August 2014.

But its August revenue con-tains $4,588 in prior period collections as well as $5,323 in future period collections.

For the year, the city has

The city of Azle received $217,169 in August, a 9.29 percent increase from $198,694 in August 2014. So

far in 2015, the city has re-ceived $1,500,405 and is up 4.84 percent from $1,431,104 through August 2014.

Azle’s Crime Control and Prevention District received $40,142 in August, up 10.42 percent from $36,351. The district has banked $285,523 in calendar 2015, up 7.81 per-cent from $264,820 for the fi rst eight months of 2014.

The city’s Municipal De-velopment District received $45,643 in August, up 20.45 percent from $37,891 in Au-gust 2014. The district is up 17.95 percent with $302,198 year-to-date, compared with $256,201 through August 2014.

Parker County saw a 6.67 percent drop in August with

$773,280, compared with $828,575 in August 2014.

However, the county re-mains up 5.55 percent with $5,180,377 year-to-date com-pared with $4,907,710 for the same period in 2014.

On the Tarrant County side

of the area, the town of Lake-side received $14,024 in Au-gust, 2.66 percent less than $14,409 in August 2014. The town has recorded $96,963 for calendar 2015 and is down 16.46 percent from year-to-date totals through August 2014 of $116,082.

Pelican Bay received $1,881 in sales tax revenue in August, up 13.12 percent from $1,663 in August 2014. For the year, Pelican Bay has recorded $12,662 in sales tax revenue, down 4.27 percent from $13,228 for the same eight months in 2014.

Hegar said state sales tax revenue in July was $2.4 bil-lion, up 2.7 percent compared to July 2014.

from oil and gas-related sec-tors.”
