Explosive device found in backyard of rental property
By Ben Posey
A landlord cleaning up trash
and debris from the backyard
of his rental house in the 800
block of Sandell Street came
across a suspicious looking item
late Friday morning. Suspicious
it was as it turned out to be
described as some type of
military explosive according to
Lt. J.P. Bevering with the White
Settlement Police Department.
“A property owner was
cleaning up his backyard after
his tenants recently moved
out and found some type of
suspicious device,” said Lt. J.P.
Bevering.
The landlord called the fire
department around 10:40 a.m.
after becoming alarmed that
the device could be a bomb.
The device, described as being
similar in size to a softball, had
pins sticking out of it.
Three area schools in the White
Settlement Independent School
District, Liberty Elementary,
Brewer Middle School and Mesa
High School, were all put on
perimeter lockdown according to
Chief Steve Baker of the school
district. Residents living in the
area were also asked to leave their
“The device was
determined to be an
antipersonnel submunition from a
cluster bomb, which
detonates by impact.
The device was yellow
with fins and pins
on the back and
was from a military
cluster bomb, which
is typically packed
with hundreds of
bomblets.”

removed the possible explosive

Agents from the Bureau of
Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and

WS CITY COUNCIL MEETING 11-17-09
The fourth test plane of a scheduled thirteen F-35 joint strike
fighters took off this past
Saturday afternoon from the
Naval Air Station runway in
west Fort Worth. The aircraft
was a redesigned A-model
conventional takeoff aircraft
that will be produced for the
United States Air Force and
other allies that are expected to
purchase the F-35’s. The flight
lasted approximately one and
a half hours as test pilot Doc
Nelson maneuvered through
several tests. Officials said they
hope to fly AF-1 at least a couple of times this week.
Also this week, the first Lockheed Martin F-35B Lightning II short
takeoff/vertical landing (STOVL) stealth fighter arrived Sunday at
Naval Air Station Patuxent River, Md., where it will conduct its first
hovers and vertical landings.
Piloted by Lockheed Martin F-35 Chief Test Pilot Jon Beesley, the
F-35B flew from Fort Worth, to Patuxent River and landed on the
Patuxent runway Sunday at 12:46 p.m. EST.
“We have high confidence in the capabilities of this aircraft, and
we fully expect that it will meet or exceed the expectations of our
customers,” said Dan Crowley, Lockheed Martin executive vice
president and F-35 program general manager. “At Patuxent River,
this aircraft will continue the process of validating our revolutionary
STOVL propulsion system through a series of short takeoffs, hovers
and vertical landings.”
The F-35B will replace U.S. Marine Corps AV-8B STOVL fighters,
F/A-18 strike fighters and EA-6B electronic attack aircraft. The
United Kingdom’s Royal Air Force and Royal Navy and the Italian
Air Force and Navy will also employ the F-35B.
Council considers Chesapeake
replat request
By A.C. Hall
With council members Helen
Warner and Jack Cook along
with City Secretary Amy Arnold
absent for medical reasons, it
was an abbreviated council that
met last night to work through
several issues. The council will
meet again this coming Tuesday
night.
Chesapeake Replat Requests
Two Chesapeake owned
properties in the city were on the
agenda as the energy company
looked to get a replat request
approved. The first property
was that of the former Harris
Antiques building. Chesapeake’s
request would see the area split
into two lots. One lot would be
about 5 acres and would be for a
future drill site while the second
lot would be about 17 acres that
the company will seek to sell off.
A public hearing was held on
this item and one citizen spoke
and voiced their concern over
having Chesapeake equipment

so close to the commercial area.
With no one else wishing to
speak the public hearing was
closed.
The second property on which
Chesapeake was seeking to have
a replat was their Las Vegas Trail
site. Under the proposed replat
there would be two sites with
the first containing the currently
existing drill site. The second
site would be developed at a later
date. A public hearing was also
held on this proposed replat.
With the public hearings
completed the council moved
on to discuss the action items
coinciding with these two issues.
“What will it be like when
they’re finished? Will it be
unsightly?” asked Councilperson
Freta Powell.
“They’ll have to meet our
landscaping ordinances,”
City Manager Jimmy Burnett
answered.

It was a statistic that my eyes locked on a few
years back. Had my gaze been a drill bit, a hole
would have burned through the headline.
Subsequently, the stat has grown, its
contemplation causing misty eyes. Thoughts
scrambled, there is a yearning for “time out” to
“sort out” significance in a wobbling world.
On Veterans Day eve, the mournful stat
saddened again: On average, 1,800 US military
veterans die each day. The figure, at the top of
my mind’s numbers, won’t go away….
Most of them, understandably, are WWII
veterans, from the era of George Beverly Shea.
Maybe you heard the comment on his 100th
birthday. America’s beloved gospel singer said he’s
been “long on the ladder.”
Veterans commonly request to have “Taps”
played at their memorial services.
This seems ever so “doable,” doesn’t it? The
tune’s span is seconds--not minutes--requiring
just 24 notes. Now, this shocker: There
aren’t enough bugler volunteers to provide
live renditions. For more than 70% of the
services last year at Dallas-Fort Worth National
Cemetery, electronic recordings sufficed….
Thoughts closest to my soul suggest the need
to extend national calls for buglers--and potential
buglers. The piercing imperatives should be pleas
to institutions, organizations and individuals.
Surely, in a country known for its volunteerism,
this can come to pass.
In the process, the lives of American
servicemen and women will be honored in the
most dignified manner possible.
There’s already a national organization
dedicated to the project: Bugles Across America
(buglesacrossamerica.org) The cause is a cocklewarmer….
Most passive among us will quickly sound
negative warnings.
They will point to the difficulty of hitting
every note, and that there are no “do-overs.”
Prevailing, though, can be encouragers who
believe that volunteers will emerge, benefitting
both those who blow the horns and those who
hear them…
It is more a matter of the heart than of the
horn.
Like the lives being honored, horn-blowers
must be committed to giving their best effort.
If there are sometimes mangled notes, let them
but remind that we all fall short….
“Taps” dates back to the Civil War.
Though we rarely hear the words, they are
worth considering. The five verses are attributed
to anonymity, and here’s the first one:
Day is done, gone the sun, from the lakes,
from the hills, from the sky. All is well, safely
rest, God is nigh.
True then, true now….
A memory of some 40 years remains vivid. A
graveside service for a military veteran had just
ended. The day was cold and gray; sleet was
pounding the canopy. At the final “amen,” two
young members of the armed services removed
the US flag from the coffin, then proceeded to
fold it.
And re-fold. And re-fold. It never came out
right, this rumpled mess that they finally plopped
into the widow’s lap. Their faces were crimson
with embarrassment.
At first, anger sprang up. Why were they sent?
Why weren’t they able to fold it correctly? More
“whys” had to get in line….
As I drove away, I noticed the two failed flagfolders huddling near the grave, perhaps wishing
for “do-overs.” They were crying, their tears
becoming ice flakes on their way earthward.
Their contrition framed an immediate
backdrop for nobler thoughts. Maybe their hands
were simply too cold, or the fabric too frozen, or
their nerves too frayed.
My thoughts turned inward. Did I have
knowledge of flag etiquette? Did I honor it
properly at every opportunity? Did I have new
resolve, as I know these youngsters did, growing
from the experience?....
Then, like now, I recall the little poem oftrepeated by the late Dr. Guy D. Newman, a
wonderful preacher/patriot/president during my
college days.
It reads:
No one escapes when freedom fails. The best
folks rot in filthy jails. And those who scream
‘appease, appease,’ are hanged by those they tried
to please.

Another Tale
from an Old Timer
By Norris Chambers
Norris Chambers and his wife Ella
have lived in White Settlement over
60 years. They have raised a family
here and have been active in school,
city and community activities and
organizations and still enjoy being
among the world’s best people.
Clifton and I and three
of his younger brothers were
sitting around the fire waiting
to check the trot lines. We had
already brought in a nice string
of fish and were anxious to add
to our catch. While we waited
we passed the time by telling tall
tales.
“Let me tell you about a
little episode I got familiar with
when I was out west last fall.”
Their ears perked up and I began
telling this tale.
It started as a friendly game,
but the stakes were a little higher
than match sticks. Old Bruce and
Gus had been holed up in the
mountain cabin all winter, and
had just about worn out a deck
of cards. But the spring thaw had
brought a visitor, Randall Giles,
a stranger who had dropped in
for a little companionship and
perhaps a flapjack meal or two.
Bruce excused himself and went
out to attend to some of the few
chores they had. Gus asked the
newcomer if he would like to
play a friendly game of poker
and received a quick affirmative
answer.
Old Gus didn’t have folding
money or hard cash, and was
putting out about what he
MONEY MATTERS
Thanksgiving marks the

there are quite a few ways to keep

important one is to plan ahead.

thought was a dollar’s worth
of gold dust for each chip. The
friendly stranger had silver
dollars and folding bills. The
stranger handled the cards
well, and since he was winning
rather consistently, Gus began
to wonder if he were playing
fair and square. But his careful
scrutiny failed to uncover any
dirty work. Randall had shed
his coat, and was playing in
his shirt sleeves. The sleeves
were rolled back almost to the
elbows. He certainly didn’t look
like a professional gambler, and
his attire left it a little hard to
imagine how he could cheat. But
still, Gus, being of a suspicious
nature, was watching rather
closely.
Gus, holding three tens, felt
like he had a pretty good hand,
and had bet rather heavily on it.
But when the showdown came,
Randall produced a full spread of
jacks. Four alike! Gus jumped up
from the table and grabbed the
heavy iron poker leaning on the
hearth of the heater.
“Feller, you’re a cheat!” He
bellowed, raising the poker
threateningly.
“No, I wouldn’t do that.”
Randall kept his seat. “You were
watching me; did you see me do
anything underhanded?”
“No, I didn’t see anything
- but there were only 3 jacks in
that deck. We’ve been playing a
card short all winter! You had to
cheat.”
“Look,” began Randall, “I
swear -”
He didn’t finish the plea, for
Gus brought the poker down
across his head with a powerful
swing, and he tumbled heavily
out of the chair and onto the
packed dirt floor. “Dirty cheat!”
muttered Gus, carefully placing
the poker back on the hearth.
The door swung open and
Bruce entered. Seeing Randall

on the floor, he exclaimed, “My
gosh, what happened?”
“Nothing much,” explained
Gus. “This stranger was cheating
at cards, and I tapped him over
the head with the poker.”
Bruce had knelt and was
examining the body, feeling
for a pulse. He turned to Gus
anxiously, “Gus, you’ve killed
him. He’s dead!”
Gus was defensive. “He was
cheating. He pulled out four
jacks - and you know we only
have three. That’s all we had all
winter. He had to be cheating.”
“Gus, I have to tell you
something. I found that other
jack yesterday under the wood
box. There were four jacks in the
deck.”
“What can we do?” Gus
exclaimed. “Do we bury the body
or take it to town to the sheriff?
I didn’t know you found the
missing card. I thought he was
cheating. I didn’t mean to kill
him.”
Before Bruce could answer
three men rushed into the room.
One of them wore a lawman’s
badge.
“That’s him.” The officer said,
pointing to the man on the floor.
“That’s Giles. What happened to
him?”
“He tried to rob us,” Gus lied.
“I hit him with the poker.”
“Good thing!” The officer
commented as he bent over the
dead man. “He was wanted for
robbery and murder. We’ve been
hot on his trail all day. There is a
$2,000.00 reward, dead or alive.
Looks like you made a lucky
strike!”
Neither Gus nor Bruce had
anything to say. What was there
to say?

2012: A filmmaking fiasco
Assassination of a High School President
he’s yet to ever actually turn in a
story to the school newspaper.
When looking into his latest
assignment Funke uncovers a big
conspiracy to steal SAT tests and
in turn shakes up the student
council and becomes popular
for the first time in his life. But
when Funke begins to realize
that there was much more to his
story, he’s forced to jeopardize
his newfound popularity as well
as his acceptance into a summer
college journalism program as he
digs even deeper for the truth.
This movie does a great job at
both being a detective/mystery
film as well as a teenage high
school film. Actually, it does it
too well and in turn may not
appeal to either audience. Let
me explain. This is a great high
school film, but it deals with
things far too adult for your
average teenager to watch.
However, these teenage
elements will likely not appeal
to the hard boiled mystery
fans who would otherwise love
the film. What’s left over is a
movie that, while it succeeds
greatly on both levels,
alienates a big portion of its
audience while doing so.
The best part of this movie
is the lead actor Reece
Thompson. He brought
such a unique coolness
to Bobby Funke that it
was a joy to watch him
unravel the big conspiracy going
on in his school. Also adding to
the film was a truly bizarre yet
hilarious role played by Bruce
Willis. He was the shell shocked
war veteran principal of their
high school and did a superb
job of playing the part of a crazy
disciplinarian.
THE VERDICT: I really liked
this movie but am unsure of just
how strongly to recommend it.
For those of you out there who
love high school type movies
I think you should definitely
check this out. It tells a great
story about a loser finding his
place in the world and mixes in a
very well done mystery. If you’re
just a mystery/detective fan and
have no interest in high school
films, I’m not sure you’ll be able
to overlook the large quantity of
teenagery that this film includes.
Ultimately, I found this to be
a slick, cool movie that featured
a great main character. If it
sounds interesting to you, then
I definitely think you should
check it out but be prepared for
a much more adult film than
you’d normally find with the
high school movie genre.
Assassination of a High School
President is rated R for sexual
content, some nudity, language,
and drug and alcohol use.

Admit
time humanity is about to be wiped
out you really don’t care all that
much.
Finally, the acting in this film is
awful. Cusack and the other actors
in the film take it so seriously that
it becomes laughable. As they stare
into the face of yet another giant
flood and utter some over dramatic
line about saving humanity, it was
all I could do not to start laughing
right there in the theater.
THE VERDICT: I pride myself
on being an untraditional critic.
I can overlook a lot of flaws if a
movie still entertains me and is fun
to watch. 2012 is not any fun to
watch. It’s twice as long as it should
be, the story is bad and the special
effects get overused and repeated
so many times that they lose all of
their impact.
This one easily could’ve been
a fun popcorn film but instead
is a stretched out repeating cycle
of effects with some truly bad
overacting mixed in. I suppose you
could possibly “RENT IT” but
honestly I’d suggest you “DON’T
BOTHER” watching this one at
all.
2012 is rated PG-13 for intense
disaster sequences and some language.
One thing I love in movies is
when you see a film mix genres.
It’s not easy to do and most
films that try end up excelling at
neither genre they’re attempting.
When I heard about this film,
I was intrigued as it mixes a
high school movie with that of
a detective/mystery story. This
was also done in the excellent
but criminally underappreciated
film Brick and I was eager to see
if Assassination of a High School
President could also successfully
mix the two genres.
The movie centers around
Bobby Funke, a sophomore
who fancies himself to be a big
time investigative reporter. The
problem is that Funke is best
known for being humiliated in
front of the whole school, and
one
film: long boring intro, earthquake,
flood, earthquake, volcano, ash
storm, earthquake, earthquake, ash
storm, flood, volcano, earthquake,
flood. No, I’m not making that up,
that’s a fairly accurate (give or take
an earthquake or two) timeline of
this movie.
While the first few disasters really
are amazing to see, by the time you
witness the fifth earthquake of the
film it really holds no new value
and isn’t at all fun to watch. Plus,
many of the ways in which these
disasters play out are far too similar
to some of the ones we’ve seen in
previous Emmerich disaster films.
The other issue is that there’s a
really ignorant driving force behind
where we see the disasters strike.
After having an alien ship blow up
the White House in Independence
Day, it’s become something of
a trademark for Emmerich to
show beloved landmarks getting
destroyed in his films. But in this
movie it feels much more forced
than in previous films, and there
are several times where the story
jumps pointlessly to a new location
that has nothing to do with the plot
simply to show a landmark being
destroyed. It really adds nothing to
the overall film and just feels forced
and silly.
There are two more huge
complaints I have with this movie,
but I think the most important
one is the length. Any time your
movie starts clocking in at 2 hours
you better hope you have a truly
engrossing story. And if you’re
going to be bold enough as to
make it 2 and a half hours or more
you better hope you’re putting
forth award winning stories and
performances. This film drags on
for so long as it repeats the same
special effects sequences that by the
THIS
By A.C. Hall
This movie was written and
directed by Roland Emmerich.
He’s best known for what have been
called “disaster films” with his most
notable hit being Independence Day.
These movies are never going to
win Academy Awards but they’re
often fun, mindless viewing, and
I’ve liked most of Emmerich’s films.
All that said, 2012 is the weakest
of any of his disaster films. The
story is always weak in these films,
but in this one it’s laughably
bad. Add in some ludicrously
overdramatic acting and a bizarrely
repetitive series of special effects
sequences and you’ve got 2 hours
and 40 minutes poorly spent. And
yes, this movie is 2 hours and 40
minutes long.
Set in the year 2012, the film tells
the story of a cataclysmic disaster
that just so happens to line up with
the ending of the Mayan calendar.
Due to increased solar activity, the
Earth is heating up from the inside
out and a small group of scientists
realize that soon the world will
undergo an apocalyptic event.
When these disasters hit earlier
than expected, people all over the
world are forced to fight for their
lives as the world around them
crumbles. Author Jackson Curtis
(John Cusack) hears of a place that
the world governments built to save
a select number of humans and he
goes on a desperate quest to get his
family there so they can survive.
This is a movie all about special
effects so I want to talk about
them first. Yes, they are amazing.
Watching all of Los Angeles get
ripped apart and crumble thanks to
a super earthquake is a lot of fun.
Here’s the problem. The movie
overuses the same types of disaster
special effects over and over. You
can quite accurately sum up this

There are three new films releasing in theaters this
weekend, and they all will appeal to very different audiences.
First up we have the drama The Blind Side. This film
stars Sandra Bullock as a caring woman who discovers an
impoverished young man and brings him into her family. As
she helps him turn his life around, he goes on to become a
huge football prospect. This one is already generating some
buzz as a great tearjerker drama and will draw in a good
audience looking for that type of a film.
Next up we have the highly anticipated second film in the
Twilight series, Twilight: New Moon. This film continues
the saga of the vampire Edward and young woman Bella
who is desperately in love with him. The book series has
been hugely successful worldwide and the film will have no
trouble drawing in viewers this weekend.
Lastly, we’ve got the computer animated kids film Planet
51. Set on an alien planet, this movie tells the story of what
happens when a human astronaut shows up and shakes up
the alien culture. There have been plenty of these types
of films over the past months, and this could make a good
choice for those with younger children who want to take the
family out to a film.
Releasing on video this week we have the summer
blockbuster Star Trek, Bruno and the drama My Sister’s
Keeper. These films are in stores now for rental or purchase.
Can’t make up your mind about which film to see at the
theater? Maybe we can help. Just head over to our website
at www.grizzlydetail.com/movies and watch the trailers for
each of these films at the bottom of the page.

A representative from
Chesapeake that was on hand
addressed the concern and
stated that they have several
pad sites that neighbor homes
and businesses and have had no
issues in those situations. The
representative also offered to
arrange for concerned council
members to take a tour of a
model pad site that Chesapeake
maintains to show what the
finished product will look like.
Mayor Jerry Burns also
participated in the discussion
as he asked the City Manager if
they’ve had any problems while
dealing with Chesapeake.
“Yes, we’ve had some problems
but they’ve been neighborly and
taken care of their problems in a
timely manner,” Burnett assured
him.
Burnett went on to give details
of a few situations in which there
was an issue and Chesapeake
fixed it quickly.
Before the council made a
motion, Powell asked if they
should perhaps wait to take
action until the other two council
members were present. Several
voiced their feeling that since this
was simply a replat issue that it
wasn’t necessary. Councilman
Garry Wilson made two separate
motions to approve the replat
requests and both motions passed
unanimously.
Board Appointments
The council also addressed two
vacancies on city boards at the
meeting. There was a vacant
term on the Planning and
Zoning Commission as well as
one on the Board of Adjustment

Wilson made a motion to
appoint Robert Craig Spencer
to the Planning and Zoning
board and that motion passed
by a vote of 2 to 1 with Powell
against. Wilson also made a
motion to have Mark Simeroth
appointed to the Board of
Adjustment and Appeals and
that motion also passed by

The Frisco Liberty Redhawks
were in town this past Saturday
afternoon to take on the Brewer
Bears in a scrimmage game as
both teams prepare to open their
regular season this week. While
the schedule clearly defined this
game as a scrimmage someone
forgot to tell these two teams as
they played as if they were in a
playoff matchup in what turned
into an intense and skillful match
that wasn’t decided until the final
minutes of the game.
The game started out highly
competitive with both teams
racing up and down the court.
The Bears were up 10 – 9 at
one point but dropped behind
slightly as the quarter came to an
end, trailing by 4 points.
The second quarter was a back
and forth battle with the Bears
leading 27 – 26 early, falling
behind 31 – 29 at one point and
ultimately taking a 33 – 31 lead
into halftime.
After playing well all game long
Brewer came out looking slightly
off in the third quarter and Frisco
Liberty took advantage as they
went on to open up a 57 – 49
lead on the Bears at the end of
to play they tied the game up
at 61 – 61. From there Brewer
was able to open up a slight lead
that they wouldn’t relinquish
and they finished out this hotly
contested scrimmage with a 79
the quarter.
The Bears weren’t about to quit,
however, and came out in the
final quarter fighting hard. They
battled their way back into the
game and with five minutes left
– 75 victory.
The Bears have looked
extremely impressive in these

Joel Rockmore scored two
touchdowns, and gained 268
yards for Lake Worth in the
Frogs’ 31-21 3A Division II BiDistrict Championship win over
the Kaufman Lions this past
Friday night at Duncanville’s
Panther Stadium. Overall,
the Frogs amassed 401 total
offensive yards, with 331 yards
being on the ground.
Lake Worth fell
behind on the first Lion
play from scrimmage,
as Kaufman took
the ball 44 yards to
go ahead 7-0. The
Bullfrogs offense
finally came alive on
the second offensive
possession when
Joel Rockmore burst
throught the line for a
91-yard touchdown. At
one point in the first
half, the Frogs trailed
14-13, but were able to
take the lead going into
the dressing room, up
21-14 at half.
Quarterback
Detail
Donovan Vess was 5-11-0
for 70 yards, including a 16yard touchdown pass to Abel
Gonzales. Brannon Riley hauled
in two passes for 41 yards.
Defensively, Jonathan Dimas
and Trevor Gardner were key to
the effort as Lake Worth stopped
Kaufman on a fourth quarter
drive.
“We were a little timid in the
first half, and maybe that was
nerves. In the second half the
kids settled down and played
better. We faced a very good
football team tonight, and we
continue to improve. Argyle
(Thursday’s opponent) will
be ready for us, and we are
excited to advance to the next
round,” said head coach Percy
Whitmire.
Lake Worth (8-3) faces
Argyle (11-0) for the Area
Championship Thursday night
at Northwest ISD Stadium,
on the campus of Justin
Northwest High School, at
7:00 p.m.

Fort Worth goes purple from head to toe for TCU
If you don’t own some purple, you
might want to run out and get some
before its all gone. Especially if the TCU
Horned Frogs keep pushing their way
to the top of the football polls. Mayor
Mike Moncrief deemed this past Friday
“wear your purple day” and buildings in
downtown Fort Worth brightened the
nightlife with purple lights as the town
got ready for the big game.
During this past weeks TCU vs. Utah
game, fans set a new record at Amon G.
Carter Stadium with an attendance of
50,307. Here are a few photos caught by
our own photographer, Keith Robinson,
at the game this past Saturday night.
A wave of purple cheered the
Hornfrogs this past Saturday. No
superstition of wearing the same
pair of unwashed game pants here.
TCU sported a new uniform and
helmet during their win over Utah.
