Reno Cagers basketball squad planned a PTA benefit game against “Moulan Rouge, a colored team from Fort Worth.”

A recycle truck emptied a bin at Azle Elementary Monday, Jan. 19 about 8:45 a.m., but with the sun in the driver’s eyes, the truck’s scoop clipped overhead electrical lines, shutting off power to the school and numerous homes, businesses, and churches. Worse, sparks from the electrical lines caught the truck’s contents on fire. The driver was able to move the vehicle away from the campus and dump his entire load in the middle of Church Street, where it blazed until Azle Fire Department personnel arrived to snuff the flames.

Azle native and longtime firefighter Eddy Wood served as an instructor for the second annual North Texas Wildfire Academy sponsored by Tarrant County College Fire Service Training Center and Texas A&M Forest Service. About 80 firefighters – some from as far away as Canada – participated in classroom and field training to learn to fight fire without water. Firefighters with all levels of experience learned the use of specific hand tools as well as techniques like burnouts to remove fuel. Hands-on training was conducted Jan. 16 at the Fort Worth Nature Center and Refuge. On Jan. 18, live fire training was conducted in a large hayfield and tank on Boyd Road, just below and west of the bridge across Walnut Creek.Photos by Carla Noah Stutsman

By CARLA NOAH STUTSMANSince July, investigators with the

Weatherford-Parker County Special Crimes Unit (W-PC SCU or unit) have been working to shut down an orga-nization that distributed large amounts of methamphetamine into parts of Tarrant, Parker, Wise, and Palo Pinto counties, into Oklahoma and possibly even into Louisiana and Arkansas.

Information obtained during that in-vestigation led investigators to believe the drugs were being distributed from a location in Sansom Park as well as in Pelican Bay.

A W-PC SCU spokesman said an earlier narcotics investigation turned

Drumline will reveal its highly antici-pated 2015 competition show, Up in the Air, at 7:30 p.m. Thursday, Jan. 29, in the main gym at the school.

Admission is $5 for adults and $3 for students.

The AHS Indoor Drumline holds the title of 2014 Texas State Cham-pion, and returns to Dayton, Ohio to compete in the WGI, International World Championships April 9-11.

This is the first opportunity for the public to see the innovative perfor-mance the drumline is taking to World competition this year.

“Up in the Air takes the audience into the imagination of a child who has a dream to fly,” said AHS Percus-sion Director Richard Kearns. “It con-tains a lot of really neat elements, and you’ll see some things you’d never expect.”

up information that led to the discov-ery of the organization.

Now that seven of the nine individu-als targeted by the investigation have been arrested and charged with engag-ing in organized crime in connection with the case, investigators could use the public’s help to nab the remaining two.

In fact, Parker County Crimestop-pers will pay up to a $1,000 reward for information that leads to the arrest and indictment of either of the two suspects.

ArrestedTo date, the following individuals

have been arrested and charged:• Brian Reece Ludwick, 47, of San-

som Park (he also lists an address in Azle) was arrested by W-PC SCU of-ficers Nov. 18 for a warrant for engag-ing in organized crime. Ludwick was also the subject of Tarrant County warrants for delivery of a controlled subject and theft $20,000-100,000. He remains in the Parker County jail in lieu of a total of $55,000 bond.

• Temkai Lee O’Bryant, 32, lists a Weatherford address, but investiga-tors believe he actually lives in Peli-can Bay. He was arrested Nov. 12 by

Parker County Sheriff’s depu-ties for an SCU warrant for engaging in organized crime. O’Bryant was off bond at the time of that arrest for an identi-cal charge as well as a charge of theft $20,000-100,000, both out of Palo Pinto Sheriff’s Office. He also faces Tarrant County charges of manufacturing or delivering a controlled sub-stance, 4-200 grams and theft less than $50 with a prior theft conviction. O’Bryant remains in the Parker County jail in lieu of $30,000 bond.

• Lawrence Allen Deeb, 32, of Weatherford, was arrested by Parker County Sheriff’s deputies Oct. 30 for SCU war-rants for engaging in organized crime and for manufacturing or delivering a controlled sub-stance (meth) 200-400 grams. Deeb, who is on parole, is held in the Parker County jail in lieu of $30,000 bond for each charge for a total of $60,000. However, he is held without bond by the Texas Department of Criminal Justice, presum-ably due to violation of his pa-role conditions.

• Richard Dale Horton, 59, of Pelican Bay, was arrested Oct. 20 by Pelican Bay police and charged with unlawful posses-sion of a firearm and posses-sion of a controlled substance, less than one gram. While in the Tarrant County jail on those charges, Horton was charged with engaging in organized crime by W-PC SCU. He is cur-rently free on bond.

• Ellen Jean Langley, 35, of Springtown, was arrested Oct. 24, 2014 by Parker County Sheriff’s deputies and charged with possession of a controlled substance, one to four grams. At the time of that arrest, she was also the subject of an SCU warrant for engaging in orga-nized crime as well as a West-worth Village warrant for fail-ure to identify. She is current-ly held in the Parker County jail in lieu of $5,555 bond for the Westworth Village war-rant, $10,000 for the posses-sion charge and $30,000 for the organized crime charge. However, Lang-ley is held without bond for a parole violation.

• Cameron Michael Luttrell, 20, of Azle, was arrested by Azle police Nov. 5 and charged

with possession of a controlled substance 4-200 grams. He was also the subject of a Tarrant County warrant for possession of a controlled substance less than one gram. Luttrell has since been charged by the SCU with engaging in organized crime. He was released from the Parker County jail Jan. 9 after posting a total of $22,000 bond for the three charges.

• Laura Michelle Griggs, 31, of Azle, was arrested Sept. 19 for a warrant for possession of a controlled substance, one to four grams. She posted $10,000 bond the following day and was released from the Parker Coun-ty jail. However, Griggs was arrested by Wise County Sher-iff’s deputies Oct. 16 for a Wise County warrant for burglary of a habitation and SCU warrants for possession of a controlled substance and engaging in or-ganized crime. She remains in the Wise County jail in lieu of a total of $60,000 bond.

Still wantedW-PC SCU has issued war-

rants for engaging in organized crime for two additional indi-viduals who remain at large and hopes someone will recognize them and call Crimestoppers at 817-599-5555 to report their whereabouts.

They are:• Timothy Ray Cole, a

48-year-old white male who shows a Graham address but may be in the Parker County area.

• Little Earl Wallis (this is not a nickname; Wallis’ first name is actually “Little”), a 30-year-old white male. Wallis lists an address on Miller Road in the Reno area.

The investigationThe W-PC SCU spokesper-

son said the investigation began in July “when we found a little bit of dope and some people,

and it just went up the ladder from there.”

Most of those individuals, the spokesperson said, lived in the Azle area.

L u d w i c k , however, was living in San-som Park, and that’s where he is believed to have brought

large amounts of meth from an undisclosed person or location.

From there, O’Bryant, Deeb, and Horton are believed to be secondary distributors who moved the product into the

Azle, Pelican Bay, and Parker County areas.

Horton, who is also known as “Lawnmower Rick,” lives on Quail Run in Pelican Bay. Investigators suspect a lot of stolen property was taken in and out of his residence and traded for meth, marijuana and

prescription pills, the spokes-person said.

During the investigation, O’Bryant and another individ-ual were arrested at a Durant, Oklahoma motel when they were found in possession of drugs, the spokesperson said.

Deeb was with O’Bryant and the other person at the time but managed to avoid arrest.

That incident made it clear to SCU investigators that the organization reached not only the North Texas area, but into Oklahoma, as well.

Information that has yet to be corroborated says the organiza-tion also distributes meth into both Louisiana and Arkansas, according to the spokesperson.

“We believe O’Bryant moved so much dope in northern Tarrant and Parker Counties that it created a significant decrease in the price of meth on the street, making it easier to obtain,” the spokesper-son said. “Since these arrests, the prices have normalized.”

Unfortunately, drugs are a commodity of sorts – subject to the same laws of supply and demand as just about any other product.

Also unfortu-nate is the slow speed at which the wheels of justice some-times turn, as evidenced by O’Bryant’s his-tory.

A c c o r d -ing to reports in the Min-eral Wells In-dex, O’Bryant was indicted in Decem-ber 2013 for theft $20,000-100,000 fol-lowing a crime spree in the Possum Kingdom Lake area.

According to a story in the Index, O’Bryant “was also in-volved in the large-scale, re-gional drug bust in October (2013) that resulted in the ar-rests of 19 individuals after an eight-month investigation into a methamphetamine operation stretching from Dallas to Palo Pinto County.”

O’Bryant is under indictment but is still awaiting trial for those Palo Pinto County charges.

Horton was charged with both possession of a controlled substance, less than one gram, and possession of a prohibited weapon after Pelican Bay po-lice confiscated a small amount of meth and about 30 guns at his residence on Oct. 20.

The gun charge has since been dropped, but Horton awaits trial for the drug charge.

The other five individuals – Lu-ttrell, Wallis, Cole, Langley, and Griggs – appear to have played less significant roles in the mass distribution of meth in the area.

Help from white hatsThe W-PC SCU spokesper-

son was quick to credit nu-merous other law enforcement agencies for assisting in the widespread investigation.

“We might not be this far if not for the help of other agen-cies – the information they pro-vided was valuable and there was a lot of really good work done by several patrol offi-cers,” the spokesperson said.

At the top of that list are the Parker County Sheriff’s Office and the Azle Police Depart-ment, he said.

“Some of the suspects just fell into it – we didn’t even know they were involved,” the spokesperson said. “But be-cause of the work of some Parker County patrol deputies and an Azle of-

ficer, we were able to tie them into the organization.”

Additionally, the Wise County Sheriff’s Office, Tarrant County Sheriff’s Office, Sansom Park Police Department, Palo Pinto County Sheriff’s Office, Durant Police Department, and Pelican Bay Police Department are to be commended for the roles they each played in the investigation, the spokesperson said.“We might

not be this far if not for the help of other agen-

by cArlA NoAH STUTSmANParker County Precinct One

Constable Larry Nix knows some people will be mighty upset to learn that his vehicle and that of Deputy Constable Charlie Hunt are now equipped with radar.

“But there are plenty of peo-ple who are going to be really happy about it, too,” Nix says.

Nix, Hunt, and Precinct One Commissioner George Con-ley gathered in the parking lot of the Parker County Sub-Courthouse in Springtown to show off the newly-installed speed-detecting gadgets, along with mobile data computers (MDCs).

Conley said that after several years of budget limitations that made obtaining the radar and MDCs for county constables impossible, he decided to bring the request before Commis-sioners Court this year.

It passed.In fact, Precinct 4 Constable

Scott Jones, and Joe Harris, Constable Precinct 2, each now have a vehicle equipped with radar and an MDC.

Precinct 3 Constable Glen Praytor opted not to participate.

“I got so many complaints about traffic on these county roads – these back roads – I knew we had to do something,” Conley said. “The population in this county is projected to double in the next 15 years, but

already, 800 vehicles a day are on Newsom Mound Road at Veal Station Road, and 1,400 vehicles a day are on Newsom Mound at Highway 199.”

Nix, too, gets lots of com-plaints about speeding traffic on back roads that have become major thoroughfares.

“These county roads have curves, hills, and driveways, and there’s a tremendous amount of traffic on them,” Nix said. “This ain’t your grandpar-ents’ back roads anymore.”

Nix says he and Hunt will not be setting up and looking for speeders.

“We’re not running any speed traps. This is all about safety and not about revenue,” he said.

As they go about their daily business – serving papers to res-idents within Precinct One – the radar units will be on, however.

The units can detect speeds, whether a vehicle is traveling the same direction as the con-stable or coming toward it.

“We won’t be writing a lot of tickets at first,” Nix said. “In fact, for the first 30 days, we will mostly issue warnings and let people get used to the idea that we’re out there.”

But don’t be fooled. Blatant violators will be dealt with ac-cordingly.

Hunt has already recovered a motorcycle that was stolen

from the Lake Worth area since his vehicle was equipped with radar.

“When you’re driving 87 in a 60 mph zone, you’re going to get pulled over,” Hunt said. “We want to give people a break, but sometimes they don’t give us much to work with.”

The MDCs will allow the constables to run license plates to check for stolen vehicles, check drivers’ licenses and criminal records, and receive automated calls for service – all from their vehicle without go-ing through a dispatcher.

As for the cost of the new equipment, Precinct One tax-payers got a great deal, too.

The county purchased four MDCs and three radar units and got a fourth radar unit free.

The cost for each MDC was discounted because of a delay in delivery.

Because Conley brokered the deal, Precinct One received the free radar unit making it the only Parker County precinct with two.

Total cost allocated to Pre-cinct One was $10,500, Conley said, and included the equip-ment, installation, air cards and licensing.

“I think it will slow people down and save some lives,” Conley said. “And I think there’ll be more people happy than mad.”

Intent on reducing speed violators on county roads, (l-r) Precinct one constable larry Nix, commissioner George conley, and Deputy constable charlie Hunt ob-tained two radar units and two mobile data computers for the constables’ vehicles.

by cArlA NoAH STUTSmANA Springtown man has died

as a result of injuries he suffered early Saturday morning, Jan. 17, when he was thrown from a mo-torcycle just east of Azle.

Michael Clay Clark, 33, died at 6:13 p.m. the following day, Sunday, Jan. 18, in the operating room of a Fort Worth hospital.

His death was caused by blunt force trauma to the head, according to the Tarrant County Medical Examiner.

The accident occurred in the

2000 block of Jacksboro High-way, east of the Azle city limits near Western Center Boulevard.

The Azle Police Department is investigating the accident because of its proximity to the location.

According to Detective Sgt. Kevin Rogers of the Azle PD, there were no witnesses to the actual accident; a passing mo-torist reported it but did not see what happened.

When Azle officers arrived, they located Clark in a bar

ditch on the north side of the highway.

“It appears Mr. Clark was westbound near Western Cen-ter when he may have hit a curb and was thrown from his bike,” Rogers said.

Clark was transported to a Fort Worth hospital where he was receiving treatment at the time of his death.

The incident remains under investigation pending findings from the medical examiner, Rogers said.

Varsity, JV Winterguard preview new shows Fridayby cArlA NoAH STUTSmAN

The Azle High School Var-sity and Junior Varsity Winter-guards will preview their 2015 competition shows in the main AHS gym at 7 p.m. Friday, Jan. 23, in a free show for the public.

Both groups will compete the following morning in their first North Texas Colorguard Association (NTCA) competi-tion of the season at Birdville Coliseum.

The varsity Winterguard’s show is called Find Yourself, but directors Debra Oldroyd and Karen St. Valentine were

reticent to provide details.“I just have to say come see it

to find out what it’s all about,” Oldroyd laughed, hinting at something spectacular.

Likewise, the JV Winter-guard’s show, What Goes Around Comes Around, is equally promising, she added.

Merchandise, including t-shirts and concession items, will be available for purchase at the preview, but there is no admission charge.

The AHS Varsity Winterguard competes in the National A clas-sification, and will represent

Azle at the Winterguard Inter-national World Championships April 16-17 in Dayton, Ohio.

The NTCA Regional A Class Champion AHS JV Winter-guard will also compete locally and around the region this year.

“These students are doing well and working really hard because they want to bring it home,” Oldroyd said.

Those who’d like to follow the AHS Winterguard online can check periodically at ntca-online.com.

You can also get competition results from Dayton at wgi.org.

by carla noah stutsmanAmber Ott Jenkins hates can-

cer with a passion.It stole her father from her

when she was just 19 years old.“He wasn’t able to walk me or

my sister down the aisle, and he never got to meet his grandchil-dren,” Jenkins says. “There are so many milestones he never saw because he fought cancer.”

Her father was Lt. Norman Ott, beloved Azle police and DARE Officer who even served as Interim Azle Police Chief for a time.

That vibrant, active officer and father fought valiantly, and his daughter insists it’s a battle he didn’t lose.

“I refuse to let cancer win any-thing, ever,” Jenkins said.

That’s the same attitude her friend Brandi Dickey had.

Although Dickey died in Oc-tober 2014 of melanoma, the 33-year-old never stopped bat-tling, and her family and friends have vowed to continue that fight.

That’s why Jenkins stepped up to become event lead for Azle Relay For Life.

The event, benefiting the

American Cancer Society, is slated for 6 p.m.-midnight Fri-day, April 24 at Central Park, 263 West Main Street.

This year’s theme is Carnival for a Cure.

A kickoff event is set for Thursday, Jan. 29, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at First Baptist Church of Azle, 1017 Boyd Road.

“Cancer affects us all – it seems we all have friends or fam-ily who barely started their lives and never got a chance,” Jenkins said. “After losing Brandi, I de-cided enough was enough and joined Azle Relay For Life. It’s an amazing group of people who all have stories of friends, family, and loved ones they fight for.”

“We are all there for one rea-son and that’s to fight back for the hope of a cure,” she con-tinued. “Azle’s Relay will be a night of celebration for those who are survivors, those current-ly fighting and for those we’ve lost. I choose to fight so others won’t have to endure the pain of cancer.”

To sign up or get further infor-mation, contact Jenkins at am-ber041380@gmail.com or 817-944-3295.

Many people start the New Year bursting with energy, inspired by the promise of a fresh new year and making resolutions that somehow get lost along the way. Making and keeping commitments to improving our health, our finances, and our relationships is a terrific idea. With that in mind, here are some helpful tips to help you set and achieve your goals.

Set goals that are realistic and measurable. It would be unhealthy and impossible to lose 50 pounds in one week through non-surgical methods. According to the Mayo Clinic, to lose 1 to 2 pounds a week, you need to burn 500 to 1,000 calories more than you consume each day, through a lower calorie diet and regular exercise. Make sure that your goals are SMART: specific, measurable, attainable, relevant and time-limited.

Look for small wins as incremental measures to reach your overall goal. The Harvard Business Review article Small Wins and Feeling Good states that “breaking such problems down into a series of more modest steps, all on the path to the ultimate goal, reduces fear, clarifies direction, and increases the probability of early successful outcomes – boosting support for further action.” Enjoy your successes. Celebrate milestones along the way.

Do your research. Chances are someone else has successfully accomplished a goal similar to yours. That person may have some valuable ideas that can help you keep your resolution.

Make it visual. Write keywords or notes of encouragement on Post-it notes, or draw or collect images of your goal and put these visual reminders somewhere where you can see them often.

Invite supportive family members and friends to help you keep on track. Quitting smoking? Find others who are doing the same thing. Want to start exercising? It’s more fun to workout with a friend.

Take time to de-stress. Take a walk, spend time with your pets, get more sleep, exercise, meditate, practice yoga or attend religious services. Stress can derail our plans and cause us to pick up the very habits we are trying to get rid of.

Plan for the bumps in the road. According to the University of Scranton, Journal of Clinical Psychology, 36% of people abandon resolutions after the first month and 54% after 6 months. Set strategies to help you get past prime “quitting time” and keep moving forward toward your goal.

If you do get sidetracked, all is not lost. Forgive yourself and get back with the program. It’s not about perfection; it’s about ultimately achieving your goal.

You have the power to make positive change in your life. This year, resolve smart and enjoy your newfound success in 2015!

“Where Customers Send Friends”Wes Winstead & Eric Chisholm

THAZ adds new doctorTexas Health Azle has a new

doctor. The hospital welcomed Kanayochukwu “Kanny” Aluka, M.D., FACS, to its medical staff as general surgery and wound care services medical director.

She is a fellowship-trained general surgeon whose areas of focus are advanced lapa-roscopy, breast pathology, and wound care procedures.

According to Dr. Aluka, de-ciding on a career in general surgery was a great fit: “Helping people restore health and well-ness in their lives is something I take great pride in doing.”

Despite growing up in Hous-ton, Dr. Aluka admits to enjoy-ing working in small towns. “I really like getting to know my patients. Aside from being able to physically help make a dif-

Azle Police Blotter

Officers with the Azle Police Department arrested the fol-lowing individuals during the two-week period of Jan. 4-17:

• Ivan Robles, 22, of Azle, was arrested Jan. 8 in the 600 block of Alameda Road and charged with injury to a child/elderly/disabled, a third-degree felony. He was transferred to the Tarrant County jail, where he re-mains in lieu of $15,000 bond.

• Daniel Maze, 37, of Azle, was arrested Jan. 10 in the 500 block of Commerce Street and charged with driving while in-toxicated, his second DWI. He posted $7,500 bond and was re-leased from the Azle jail.

• Casey Joe Rice, 28, of Para-dise, was arrested in the 11500 block of Jacksboro Highway near Hanger Cutoff Road Jan. 14

and charged with driving while intoxicated and unlawfully car-rying a weapon. Dispatchers re-ceived multiple 911 calls shortly before midnight reporting a ve-hicle traveling east in the west-bound lanes of Highway 199.

The first callers reported the vehicle west of Azle; by the

time police caught up to him, Rice was east of Azle. The of-ficer observed Rice – who was now in the correct lane – swerv-ing between lanes, crossing lane markers, and initiated a traffic stop. Rice was subsequently ar-rested for DWI and the weapons charge. He posted $3,500 bond for the DWI charge and $5,000 for the weapon charge and was released from the Azle jail the following day.

• Sean Gary Mills, 35, no ad-dress listed, was arrested in the 1000 block of Gladstone Av-enue Jan. 15 and charged with burglary of a habitation with intent to commit another fel-ony, a first-degree felony. He was transferred to the Tarrant County jail, where he remains in lieu of $25,000 bond.

Azle officers arrested 18 addi-tional individuals for outstand-ing warrants issued by various law enforcement agencies dur-ing the same time frame. They wrote three citations for public intoxication and three for pos-session of drug paraphernalia.

ference in their lives, the strong sense of community is very gratifying.”

Dr. Aluka graduated from The University of Texas South-western Medical School. She completed her residency train-ing at Howard University Hos-pital in Washington, D.C.

Azle competes in Vernon

By MARk k. CAMPBeLLAnother tournament, another

title.The latest addition to the

Azle High School trophy case was claimed by the Hornet soc-cer varsity with a victory in an Aledo tourney.

In sunny January weather, AHS (8-0) did not permit a goal, winning three matches.

That’s a tribute to keeper Austin McCash and the back-line in front of him – Ben Da-vis, Mason Mendell, Grant Mendell, and Giovanni Rios.

After starting with a 4-0 thumping of Burleson, Azle broke open a 0-0 contest at half-time and beat the hosts 4-0, too.

In that contest, Dylan Tritton turned in a hat trick, scoring a trio of goals.

Nathan Mejia got the other one.

The Hornets won the cham-pionship trophy with a 2-0 blanking of Crowley.

No All-Tournament Team was picked but a Most Valuable Player was. That honor went to Hornet Javier Mejia.

The victories kept Azle un-defeated in 2015, something

Coach Ben Buentello is proud of but cautious of at the same time.

“I told our players that it is a great start to the year, and it does give us confidence head-ing into district play.

“But I also explained to them that the ultimate goal is to make it to the ‘big tournament’ at the end of the year,” the coach said.

That’s the state event, set for Georgetown April 15-18.

There’s something else about being successful, Buentello noted: “Success is two-fold because it puts a target on their backs and every team we face from now on will throw every-thing they have at us.

“We have to be ready for that.”

The Lady Hornets also played in Aledo.

Azle opened with a 3-0 loss to Fort Worth South Hills.

The next day, AHS scored early and put away Dumas.

That sent the Lady Hornets to the third place match, but Azle tumbled.

Next up for all squads is District 5-5A opening matches against Boswell Jan. 27.

A trip to Wichita Falls to face Rider was a tough one for the Hornet hoops squad.

With scoring and turnover woes, Azle lost 77-28 in the 5-5A clash.

Rider, state ranked at No. 23 in 5A, rushed out to a 20-3 first quarter lead and did not look back.

AHS shot just 26 percent while the Raiders nailed 60 percent of its field goals and 7 more 3-pointers. Azle shot just 5 free throws, making 1.

Bowen Moyer led the Hor-nets with 8 points. Jamie King and Trey Ramos added 6 each.

Fred Amyett blocked a shot for Azle.

Next up is a trip to Saginaw Jan. 23.

A 46-22 victory over Brewer Jan. 13 set up a battle between two state-ranked girls basket-ball teams at Wichita Falls Jan. 16.

Against Brewer Jan. 13, Pay-ton Berger led with 15 points and 7 rebounds; Taylor Fulfer scored 14.

That home win made the fi-nal game of first round of 5-5A play for first place against then No. 9 Rider.

The game was close – 10-8 – after one period. But the hosts pulled away and won 52-41.

The defeat dropped Azle into a tie with Saginaw for second in district but did not hamper AHS’ Texas Association of Basketball Coaches state rank-ing which stayed a 16.

Berger led Azle again at Rid-er, with 19 points while Valarie Matlock added 11.

Kylee Brown’s 9 rebounds paced the team.

Subvarsities – The JV beat Brewer 45-23 behind 10 points from Rachel Wood.

Next, the AHS JV fell to Rider 45-42 as Cassidy Bowen scored 10 and Breeona Cannon

and Wood got 9 points each.The 9th topped Brewer 27-7

with Savannah Johnson’s 8 points leading the way.

Autumn Johnson scored 12 in a 29-28 OT loss at Rider.

The Azle High School wres-tling teams ventured northwest to compete in the Red River Tournament in Vernon.

The Lady Hornets finished as runner-ups in the team com-petition, beating out 10 other squads. Six AHS girls placed.

The boys finished fourth out of 18 teams with six Hornets placing.

The girls were led by a pair of gold medal winners – Lauren Dale at 136 pounds and Hali Davis at 110.

Veteran Ruby Ariosa (102) took a silver at Vernon while Denise Perez finished third.

Also placing were Hollie Taylor and Raelyn Temple, both fourth.

Six Hornets picked up points at the event.

Heavyweight Justin Scarbro won his division.

Marshall Gilbreath (195) fin-ished second, losing his first match of 2015, Azle Coach Chris Allen recalled.

Jimmy Fager (113) also earned a silver medal.

Colten Clearwater (152) took third.

Also pointing were Tyler Stewart, fourth at 160, and Seth Bell, sixth a 182.

Azle hosts a tri-dual Thurs-day, Jan. 22 on Senior Night.

Then comes a break before the district event Feb. 6 at Sagi-naw Chisholm Trail HS.

That stay-home stretch be-tween the final regular sea-son competition and district is planned, Allen said.

Aside from letting injuries heal somewhat, his young squad will be vying for team berths. “We’ll have a lot of wrestle-offs,” Allen said.

OPINION

She’s in her 90’s.

She can’t hear.Her sight is dimming.She’s becoming more

and more afraid and anx-ious about her surround-

ings. Because of what appears to be the

onset of dementia, she has gotten lost while out and about.

Her apartment, while comfortable, is more and more insufficient for her daily needs.

She lost her twin sister and room-mate almost a year ago and she’s been pretty lonely ever since.

It appears that the time has come to make that hard decision about moving her to a place where she will get better care.

No, I’m not talking about a mother or an aunt; I’m talking about a Golden Re-triever.

I’ve men-tioned her a few times in previous posts, most recently from December 1, 2014 (“Fear Not … Seriously!”).

She makes me crazy, but I’m go-ing to miss her when she’s gone. I’ve been dreading the day when her health might necessitate the difficult quality of life decision.

It was hard on me when that call had to be made with her sister. (“Say-ing Goodbye to a Fetching Friend” – March 3, 2014).

But a new conversation came up a few weeks before Christmas that re-sulted in the longest car ride of her life this past weekend.

We took her to Amarillo to live with the little girl who, almost 13 years ago, saved up her money for her dream puppy, researched all the best ways to “test” a puppy, and fell in love with a beautiful little golden bundle of fur when she visited the breeder.

Favorite daughter named that little puppy Kiley Ann Lewis and trained her, loved her, groomed her, and made her very much the center of attention until the girl went off to college and the dog stayed home. Now the little girl is a grown up married woman and mother of my perfect granddaughter.

They have a house with a big yard and have decided that they would like to be Kiley’s assisted living facility, where she can live out her days be-ing pampered and getting a whole lot more attention than old Dr. Grandpa can give her.

She’ll get to sleep inside the house and be stroked and groomed and pet-ted by the first hands that ever showed her that kind of love.

She’ll also get to frequently be touched by little hands that Dr. Grand-pa wishes he could hold more often than he does.

I’m not sure what spiritual lesson there is in all this except that I want everyone to know that God is right in the middle of our lives.

Every blessed moment comes from Him.

Every joy. Every blessing. Every expression of love and loy-

alty. Every treasured memory. Our lives matter so much to Him

that…there is nothing about our lives that does NOT matter to Him.

I’ve had both misty eyes and a big smile while writing this today. I hope you’ve had the same in reading.

The assisted living decision

Dog leash law not being followed in Central Park

Historians like to com-memorate anniver-saries of important events. The year 2012 was the 150th anni-versary of vigilante

action in North Texas which resulted in the hanging of 42 men. Two citizens knowledgeable of the happenings in 1862 wrote accounts that told some-what differing stories. Dr. Thomas Barrett's essay was published in 1885, and the other by George Washington Diamond remained unseen for over a century.

Combined into one volume, the Texas State Historical Association published both accounts in 1963 with the title "The Great Hanging in Gainesville, 1862. Recently the TSHA added an Introduction by his-torian Dr. Richard B. McCaslin based on his book, Tainted Breeze and re-published the earlier book. Through the years the citizens of Gainesville, located on I-35 about five miles south of the Oklahoma border, did not like talking about the hangings.

In the 2012 book Dr. McCaslin, chairman of the history department at the University of North Texas, gave an overview of what happened.

The census of 1860 in Cooke Coun-ty indicated that most of the popula-tion did not own slaves, but well-to-do slave owners dominated the local economy and for many years had held most political offices. The majority

political party in all the South, includ-ing Texas, was the Democrat party which supported slavery.

When the vote came in Texas of whether to secede from the Union, through-out the state a three to one majority favored secession. However, in Cooke County a 61 percent majority op-posed secession and wanted to remain loyal to the Unit-ed States. Why?

North Texas was an entry-point for new arrivals to the state. Folks came through Indian Territory from Kan-sas, Missouri and points to the northeast. These new-comers were not Southern-ers, and they opposed slav-ery.

When the Confederacy issued a call for conscription – a draft – many new arrivals didn't want to be forced to serve in the Confederate army. Some joined a state guard, hoping that their military service would be protecting the state from Indians and outlaws. That didn't work. Distrust developed between the newcomers and the older settlers.

Developing locally in the fall of 1862, after one and one-half years of war, was a secret society of Northern sympathizers, calling themselves the “Peace Party.” Rumors spread that local men kept touch with Kansas

Unionists, ready to welcome troops if and when they invaded Texas from In-

dian Territory. Meanwhile, Texas governor Francis R. Lubbock told political leaders in Gainesville that they would have the gov-ernor's full support for any action taken.

Local Confederate leaders acted quickly on October 1, 1862, called out the militia, and by noon had arrested 70 men. They organized a Citizen's Court, made up mostly of slave own-ers. The majority of the arrested men had never owned slaves and had re-sisted an enlistment in the Confederate army. Trials

began October 2.Seven men were hanged within sev-

en days. Fourteen more were hanged October 12-13. The elm tree in the square and the hangman saw 19 more men die October 19. Two more hanged later. Just being a member of the Peace Party was enough to convict. Anyone fortunate enough to be acquitted fled town immediately.

Other North Texas counties sought out Unionists as well. Decatur citizens executed five men October 18; Dallas hanged three slaves accused of plan-ning a slave uprising. Fort Worthians hanged a preacher named Anthony

Bewley after finding he possessed a letter that apparently tied him to a se-cret order.

Of the 19 counties in Texas where a majority rejected secession, eight were in North Texas – Cooke, Gray-son, Collin, Montague, Fannin, Wise, Jack, and Lamar.

Dr. Barrett, who served on the jury, had argued that the verdict should be unanimous, or at least two-thirds for guilt. He wrote in his account that not all the men in the Peace Party were Unionists. Some joined the organiza-tion simply because they did not want war. One had the feeling that Dr. Bar-rett was defending his own actions for being a member of the Court.

Diamond's account of events staunchly supported the Citizen's Court. He said people feared a slave insurrection. He argued that Court rul-ings were due process and not vigi-lante action. Sentiment through the years has not been sympathetic to the vigilantism and quick hangings.

After republication of the book on the hangings in 2012, the city of Gainesville held a symposium on the event, remembering the lives lost. If one ever doubted it, during the Civil War strong emotions prevailed, even in Texas, the most western state of the Confederacy.

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.

I ventured into the morgue again. That’s the place up-stairs here at the office where we keep decades worth of old newspapers.

Up there, I found a very old edition of The Azle Banner. It’s dated Thursday, Jan. 19, 1961.

It’s not in great shape, yellowed and torn. But it’s readable. The Banner cov-ered all the news around here – Azle, Lake Worth, Springtown, Boyd, and points in between.

Among the news: The AHS FFA finished sixth at state; Mr. and Mrs. J.B. Smith had visitors from Richardson and Garland; a carton of cigarettes cost $2.49 at Clyde Rochelle Grocery & Market; and the Eagle Drive-In was show-ing Fast and Sexy starring Gina Lollobrigida.

But none of those tidbits was the reason people were snapping up that early ‘61 Banner. Azle was in the midst of a moral fire storm and pub-lisher James Caton let folks speak their piece about the raging debate.

The cause of the hubbub? Dancing.A Valentine’s Day Prom was

planned for local kids Feb. 11 at the Skyway Roller Rink. That news was not well received by many in the com-munity – mainly church folk.

Things got so riled that the Chamber of Commerce, which was sponsoring the function, called a special meeting to discuss the matter.

The Chamber had been working on

Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and is way too white to be a good dancer.

the holiday dance for months and had secured a teenage band from Fort Worth, the Plaids; the seven-man group had won a Battle of the Bands in Denton in 1960 and a competition at Casa Manana, too. More than 50 Chamber members had signed up to

act as chaperones.There was much conster-

nation about this dance. The No. 1 song in the country in January 1961 was by Elvis “the Pelvis” Presley and everyone knew how scandalous that hip-shaker was.

Letter writers argued back and forth on the issue.

One author thought it was a healthy alternative to sports for youthful activi-ties.

Another – a “Loyal Ban-ner Scanner” – said the situ-ation was a “moral factor”

and that it was important to provide supervised dancing. Otherwise: “We have far too many highway beer joints ready to let our teenagers come in for dancing and drinking and heaven knows what else. Which is better: to furnish them wholesome, supervised fun and social education or let them find their own in questionable places?”

One anti-dancer brought out the big gun – the Bible. “Is dancing morally safe and religiously right?” asked the writer.

That query was followed by a lit-any of verses with words like “works of the flesh,” “lewd emotions,” “evil thoughts,” and “unlawful sexual de-sire.” Paul warned that “revelling” –

“which promotes sensual gratification” – would keep folks from inheriting the Kingdom of Heaven, it was noted.

The writer said that 70 percent of the “fallen women” in Los Angeles got there because of dancing.

I don’t know if the dance went off – I can’t find the Banner from that

February. I do know that if the verse-quoter saw the grinding and twerking that passes for dancing in 2015, s/he would likely immediately keel over and go meet our Maker.

Letter to the editor

Every time I walk there, I encounter a person who is walking their dog off leash or runners who run their large dogs on the trail.

A runner with a dog takes up more than half of the trail. I always wonder if I am going to be nipped by their dog as they pass by.

I think they should yield right of way and get off the trail until they pass

walkers. I always have to get far over to the edge and yield right of way for them.

This is not right.Could we please remind people

that there is a leash law? I think most people already know it but choose to ignore it.

I do not want to be bitten by some-one’s dog. Owners always think their

dog won’t bite, but some do.There are some people who don’t

believe in vaccinations.I should not have to be intimidated

by other people’s dogs when I walk at the park.

Gov. Rick Perry delivered his farewell ad-dress to a joint session of the House and Sen-

ate on Jan. 15 on day three of the 140-day regular session of the 84th Texas Legislature.

Before recounting various as-pects of the state’s performance during his record-breaking ten-ure as chief executive, Perry said, “I have come here to re-flect on what we have done to-gether, and to say farewell. But most of all, to tell you it has been the highest of honors to serve as your governor for the last 14 years.”

Perry painted a picture of Texas “as a land of unlimited opportunity” with mentions of such items as job growth, the booming oil and gas industry, various other economic drivers, fiscal management, education and public safety. “While some still struggle in the shadows of opportunity, we have created tremendous possibilities for millions of Texans. While the rest of the nation has lost mid-dle class jobs, Texas has cre-ated them,” Perry said. He also reminded the audience of chal-lenges recently faced, such as

“the disintegration of the Space Shuttle Columbia, Hurricanes Katrina, Rita and Ike, devas-tating wildfires, the spread of Ebola and a humanitarian crisis at the border.”

Wrapping up, Perry said, “I couldn’t pick a better succes-sor as governor than (former Texas Attorney General) Greg Abbott. And he couldn’t have two better partners to lead this state than (Lieutenant Gover-nor and former Senator) Dan Patrick and (House Speaker) Joe Straus. As I bid farewell, I know the future is in good hands.”

Straus reelected as speakerState Rep. Joe Straus, R-San

Antonio, was elected to a fourth consecutive term as speaker of the Texas House of Representa-tives on Jan. 13, opening day of the 84th Texas Legislature.

The vote was 128-19 in favor of Straus. The 19 votes were for second-term state Rep. Scott Turner, R-Frisco, a business-man and former National Foot-ball League player.

the state is projected to have some $113 billion in revenue available for general-purpose spending during the 2016-2017 biennium. State revenue from all sources is estimated at $221 billion for the next biennium, a total that includes $110 billion in federal receipts and other in-come.

State government begins with a projected $7.5 billion ending balance from the current bien-nium and that amount is added to the estimated $110 billion in projected general revenue-related collections from taxes, fees and other income over the course of the 2016-17 bi-

ennium. And, about $5 billion will be set aside for transfers to the Rainy Day Fund and State Highway Fund. The resulting $113 billion represents the esti-mated revenue available to the Legislature for general purpose spending in the next biennium, according to the comptroller’s office.

Hegar noted, “The signifi-cant drop in oil prices in re-cent months will likely lead to a marked slowdown in oil ex-ploration and production. This slowdown will dampen over-all economic growth in Texas. However,” he added, “in addi-tion to the economic boost felt by Texas motorists as a result of lower gasoline prices, there are industries in Texas’ diverse economy such as transportation and some manufacturing that will benefit from lower energy prices. This, coupled with con-tinued strength in construction, professional services and other sectors of the broader economy, should somewhat counterbal-ance a slowdown in the energy sector.”

Donate Life program growsTexas Department of Public

Safety on Jan. 14 announced that in 2014 nearly 1.4 million

people added their names to the Glenda P. Dawson Donate Life Texas Registry, the database “of individuals who have offi-cially indicated their decisions to donate organs and tissue to benefit thousands of people currently awaiting transplants.”

DPS Director Steven Mc-Craw said, “Every person who selflessly elects to register as a donor has the potential to save another individual’s life.”

In 2014 a record 226 regis-tered donors made nearly 800 transplants possible and cur-rently, more than 13,600 in-dividuals are awaiting organ or tissue transplants in Texas alone, according to the group Donate Life Texas.

Three organ and tissue recov-ery agencies: LifeGift, South-west Transplant Alliance and Texas Organ Sharing Alliance participate in the registry along with the Department of Public Safety and the Texas Depart-ment of Motor Vehicles.

Dear Editor:With the recent horrors of

terrorism in man’s inhumanity to one another, the leaders of the free world wanted to join in unison with each other to de-nounce this evil form of life in a solitary march in Paris, France Jan. 11.

Was Barack Obama, Ameri-ca’s leader and president, there representing us along with the other leaders?

Of course, not!Mr. Obama has bigger fish to

fry; as we learned through the media, he was busy double dip-ping cheese dip watching NFL playoff games and wondering, like the rest of us, was it a catch or not by Dez Bryant.

In a perverse sort of way, this behavior didn’t move any seis-mograph needles off the charts as that is what we expect from his conduct for six years now.

Then, on Jan. 16, Secretary of State John Kerry – by direc-tion of the government – was sent to France to mollify things for our president’s total derelic-tion of duty (AWOL) and his not taking terrorism seriously.

What does Mr. Kerry do to appease? He’s dusting off an old hippie musician, James Taylor, to play and warble one of his sappiest tunes, “You’ve Got a Friend” to the French for-eign minister and the president of France.

If anyone had seen this folly in the news of Mr. Kerry stand-ing wooden, his eyes closed and weeping and mouthing the lyrics of Mr. Taylor’s song – coupled with Mr. Taylor con-torting himself to reach the mi-crophones – one would think that this was a rerun of a Satur-day Night Live skit.

Personally, I hadn’t seen Kerry get this emotional over an ally of his since the 1970’s – North Vietnam.

In hindsight, let’s be honest: It would have been more ap-ropos to invite Judy Collins to sing “Send in the Clowns.”

Inarguably, our country has been reduced to caricatures as clowns, and the terrorists are shaking in their boots when they hear the name Barack Obama. Joseph Bryan Fort Worth

American SniperNo. 1 with a bullet

Starring: Bradley Cooper, Sierra Miller, Keir O’DonnellDirected by: Clint EastwoodRated R: Violence, explicit gore, language, war

... on a scale of 1-108

Movie Man12A Azle News Wednesday, January 21, 2015

This is one of those movies.Sometimes films are highly

anticipated. Or advertised to the max. Or both.

Like: Gone with the Wind (1939). Star Trek: The Motion Picture (1979). Passion of the Christ (2004, Movie Man No. 549, an 8). And a slew of sequels starring Batman, Han Solo, Ma-trixians, glittery vampires, teen-age revolutionaries in dystopian worlds, and Hobbits.

Now comes another well-hyped movie that fans have been waiting for, American Sniper. It delivers – to its con-servative base and as a very well-made motion picture.

About the film

The story of Chris Kyle, the most successful sniper in U.S. military history, is well-known locally. His book was huge nationally and Kyle’s shock-ing murder and the outpouring of patriotic compassion that packed thousands into AT&T Stadium for a memorial service made him a legend.

When it was announced that the movie version of the book would be directed by noted con-servative Clint Eastwood, an-ticipation really began to build.

A powerful, tense preview amped up audiences. Other exceptional coming attrac-tions followed. Then the heavy ad campaign continued with American Sniper’s early plat-form rollout – opening in a low number of theaters then steadi-ly expanding weekly – raised the movie’s profile even more.

Finally, the awards season ar-rived with star Bradley Cooper especially gaining attention. When the Oscar nominations came out, the film was poised for a record breaking perfor-mance. And that’s what’s hap-pened.

American Sniper broke every January record it could in its initial opening.

The plot

Raised by a hard-nosed father, Kyle (Cooper) joins the military

after seeing televised terrorist attacks that killed Americans overseas. He enlists in the Navy and becomes a SEAL. Noted for his firearm skills, Kyle becomes a sniper and soon is deployed, leaving wife Taya (Sierra Mill-er) behind.

Overseas, Kyle is a killing machine; perched on rooftops, he picks off threats below – terrorists, who are sometimes women and children – whose deadly efforts could kill his fel-low soldiers.

After his first tour, Kyle be-comes sullen back home. So he returns overseas, becoming a legend at what he does. Mean-while, Taya is getting more distressed – frantic while he’s away and bummed with Kyle’s disengaged separation when back home.

He returns for three more tours while a family builds back in the states. In his final trip, he and his compadres find themselves atop a building sur-rounded by hordes of terrorists. That’s when Kyle spies, over a mile away, the enemy’s most deadly sniper.

If Kyle takes the “impos-sible” shot, it will expose him and his cohorts to the scores of enemy all around them. But it might be his only chance to take down Iraq’s “Butcher” (Mido Hamada).

What worksCooper is great here. It’s the

sort of non-showy role that lacks histrionics but is no less powerful. Director Eastwood – ripped off from a Best Direc-tor Oscar nod – often frames Cooper in close-ups; the actor’s blank face and haunted, weary eyes say everything.

Several scenes are quite tense. The coming attraction se-quence – where he must decide whether to shoot a boy carrying an ordnance – comes early and its resolution is shocking.

There’s also a scene where Kyle must choose whether to take out the Butcher while a gi-gantic sand storm bears down.

But even that’s not the tens-est (see Best scene).

The movie looks fantastic, all muted and dirty. It flies along and has an ending that is heart-wrenching with its real-life footage of the public’s out-pouring of emotion following Kyle’s death.

Best scene (spoiler)

Kyle and his fellow soldiers are in a native’s home, surveil-ling a business across the street that could be housing the Butch-er. After some caution, even

Kyle lets down his guard as the man offers the soldiers a meal.

But Kyle still suspects the host and eventually his fears are recognized. So they send the local man into the business across the street to gain access for the troops. That sets off a bloodbath.

The tension at the dinner ta-ble is palpable. It’s maybe the top scene in a movie loaded with taut sequences.

What doesn’t work

The stateside scenes get repeti-tive. We get that Kyle is a zombie at home, that maybe his “real” family is the military. There are a few too many scenes of Coo-per staring blankly at the TV, disregarding his wife and kids.

With just a couple of brief non-action scenes while over-seas, the film makes it look like combat is going on 99 percent of the time.

The rating

This is a hard R. There are two f-bombs in the first two sentences and they never stop.

And you can’t have a realistic sniper movie without explicit violence and gore.

Summing up

Doves will complain that American Sniper is another jin-goistic hawk movie glorifying war and murder. It’s anything but that. It feels real and leaves viewers with a sense of what war might actually be like. Ev-eryone needs to know about that. And plenty got it – judg-ing from the audience’s dead si-lence after the movie was over.

Next up

Probably Birdman.

BY NATALIE GENTRYAzle resident John Burgoyne

has a passion for power – the power found in turn-of-the cen-tury engines, that is.

His interest in the forerun-ners to our modern motors be-gan at an early age.

Burgoyne has always been interested in restoring antique motor cycles, and at the age of 16, he began a five-year ap-prenticeship at Bristol City En-gines in England.

He went on to become a me-chanical engineer and he said the interest in early engines was a natural extension.

“I got heavily into this about 30 years ago,” he said.

Today, Burgoyne is the presi-dent of branch 43 of the Early Day Gas Engine & Tractor As-sociation (EDGE & TA), a na-tional club.

“We have about 75 local members of the Granbury Fly-

Gentlemen, start your engines... Azle early engine museum a wealth of information

wheelers,” Burgoyne said. “We want to spark an interest in collecting, restoring, and preserving gasoline and oil en-gines and other equipment of historical value.”

Burgoyne moved to Azle about eight years ago after liv-ing and working as a mechani-cal engineer and fabricator in Fort Worth for 49 years first at Bell Helicopter and then in his own machining shop.

He bought the land the mu-seum sits on four years ago. “I thought it would make an ideal museum for my engines.”

“Horsepower”At the turn of the century

there were no electric motors to run any of the equipment that we often take for granted today.

In fact many rural areas didn’t have electricity until the 1940s.

When small engines became

Deere engines and a forerunner to the Massey Ferguson.

There are a few two-cycle engines in the collection as well.

In addition Burgoyne builds quarter scale working engines.

“The models are easier to carry around, that’s for sure,” Burgoyne said with a smile.

“One Piece at a Time”Many of the engines in the collection

still have their original paint and many original parts.

A couple of lucky finds are surpris-ingly well preserved.

However, Burgoyne does own sev-eral engines that were missing many pieces and required what he calls “me-chanical forensic” to rebuild.

For instance, when Burgoyne began reconstructing his 1905 Sharples en-gine, he only had a single sketch and an approximately 300 word description to work from.

“You’ve got to say ‘what would have been appropriate for this time frame and what material would they have used,” he said. “Then you reconstruct the engine as best you can with information that is available.”

This process includes fabricating the missing pieces because they aren’t available for purchase.

“I actually had to rebuild a 1989 ma-chine just to cut the keyways and fly-wheel on the Sharples,” Burgoyne said. “I spent two months rebuilding the ma-chine and it took 15 minutes to make the parts.”

“Fuel”Burgoyne noted he hopes the muse-

um will fuel an interest in the old en-gines.

“There are not many young people in the area involved in the EDGE & TA, or reconstructing the early engines” he said. “I want to let people know about the museum and I hope that we can get young people interested in the hobby.

“If someone just leaving school can

get their teeth into something like this and really build a good understanding I think it makes them a better me-chanic,” Burgoyne continued

He said he felt that having the basic knowledge of the inner workings of engines will lessen new mechanics’ reliance on computers.

“We had a Boy Scout troop come through the museum and they seemed to really like it,” Burgoyne said. “I be-lieve they are going to schedule another tour.”

Burgoyne said he looks forward to visitors coming to the museum because it gives him an excuse to fire up some of the engines.

His passion for the engines is evident and his wealth of knowledge about the history of his engines specifically and early engines in general is a resource just waiting to be tapped.

Visits must be scheduled – to do that, call Burgoyne at 817-401-0320.

available many people pur-chased them to run everything from threshers to sewing ma-chines to cotton gins.

“You can drive around Texas today and there are still a lot of old abandoned cotton gins and inside there is usually an engine similar to these,” Bur-goyne said.

The engines at the museum represent the earliest of en-gines; they are forerunners to what we have in our cars today.

The oldest engine in the mu-seum – a Westman gasoline en-gine – is estimated to be from about 1899 or 1900 and it is the only one of its kind known to exist.

“It was found in the Westman family lake house pumping wa-ter,” Burgoyne said.

There are approximately 50 four-cycle engines in the muse-um ranging from 1899 to about 1950 including early John

John Burgoyne, of Azle oils a 1907 Foos engine at his small engine museum in Azle. This type of engine – sitting on its original cart – would have been used to run early farm equipment such as threshers or hay baler. Photo by Natalie Gentry

Another engine at the museum with an interest-ing story is this 1920 Petter Junior which was used to power homes in rural England as late as the 1940s. Photo by Natalie Gentry
