Deputues were dispatched to the 4400 block of CR 317 in response to a call about a burglary in progress from the homeowner who was hiding in the loft of a barn.
“The homeowner was on the lookout because his home had been burglarized a couple of days earlier,” Sheriff Bob Al-ford said.
One of the deputies used a spotlight and observed a man and another sub-ject fl eeing from the scene, Alford said.
“The deputy was able to hear and track the subjects as they fl ed and at-
tempted to conceal themselves in some un-derbrush,” Alford said.
Subsequently, the suspects were located and taken into custody. The deputies discov-ered the suspects were in the process of steal-ing copper wire from a barn located on the property, Alford said.
“The homeowner, who had been burglar-ized a couple of days be-fore, had stayed in the loft of the barn believing the actors may return to the area,” Alford said.
“This allowed him to alert our offi ce.”

TollTags sold at sub-courthouse
Motorists may visit four locations in Johnson County and one in Crowley to pur-
chase TollTags, an electronic tolling mechanism used on all North Texas Tollway Author-ity roads in North Texas and all toll roads across the state.
The closest NTTA toll road to Burleson is the Chisholm Trail Parkway, connecting Fort Worth with Cleburne.
The benefi ts of a TollTag include the ability to pay lower toll rates and avoid bills with the potential of administrative fees. A mo-torists paying the ZipCash rate can often pay 50 per-cent higher toll rates.
To open a TollTag ac-count, there is an initial $40 payment for up to three TollTags. Customers are re-quired to maintain a posi-tive account balance, which can be monitored online. Ac-counts can be secured with a credit card, check or cash.
Tolls are then electroni-cally paid through the TollTag transponder sticker mounted on your vehicle’s windshield each time the vehicle passes through a toll lane.
Apply for a TollTag at www.ntta.org or visit one of the following nearby loca-tions to open an account.

“Our small company plat-form allows us to provide
large company services with the attention to detail of a lo-cal owner,” said Wayne Pow-ell, president of Civitas Se-nior Healthcare.
Powell previously owned The Courtyards at River Park, an assisted living fa-cility in Fort Worth, and has
20 years’ experience in senior healthcare.
Elk Creek will be located on 4.7 acres at 265 Elk Drive, ad-jacent to Burleson High School. The community will have 43 assisted living apartments, as well as a memory care cottages designed for 11 residents. The
scheduled opening date for Elk Creek is June 2015.
“Burleson is such a won-derful and growing commu-nity. We are looking forward to helping the seniors and their families in the Burleson area, and feel that offering an as-sisted living community that is
locally owned and operated is exactly what Burleson needs,” said owner Colt Cantrell.
In addition to Elk Creek, Wayne and Misti Powell are opening Midtowne Assisted Living and Memory Care in Midlothian. Midtowne will open in January 2015.

she would not work against his election in favor of a Democrat, she added.
Wright said she is frus-trated that during her attor-ney's discovery process, Bur-leson police did not release dash cam video evidence. She was told personal in-formation was on the video, and it therefore could not be released. She did receive au-dio evidence.
"I have no guilt," she said. "I wanted the jury to hear my words. I wanted them to hear what was said, and I wanted them to see what was on the dash cam."
While the case has been dismissed, Wright is not done fi ghting the charge.
"I still want to see the dash cam," she said. "I be-
lieve there is a reason they will not give it to me."
A trial could have pro-ceeded, Wright said, because there was a verbal and writ-ten witness statement. The fact the witness had moved out of state was irrelevant, she said, because the state-ments existed.
The confl ict between the two poll workers escalated when Burns' campaign erect-ed what Wright has called a "sign fort" at the subcourt-house. His signs blocked off almost all available area to electioneers – area those fa-miliar with campaigns know Wright normally occupies.
"If it would not have been built, then we would have been separated," Wright said. "It was to make it
where I could not campaign."Wright's brother, Benja-
min Clopton Jr., has fi led a criminal complaint against Burns with the Johnson County Sheriff's Offi ce for Burns' campaign erecting the "sign fort." He cites it was in violation of county policy pertaining to erect-ing a "political barricade structure." Burns himself drove 14 steel T-posts into the property, the complaints reads and claims Burns ad-mitted. The complaint asks for the Texas Rangers and the FBI to investigate, as Sheriff Bob Alford was a biased public supporter of Burns.
Clopton's complaint will also be fi led with the Texas Ethics Commission.

part of the contest. It has been too windy for them to be used. We may have to modify the design."
During Bands of America contests, judges walk the fi eld and rate the band as a whole and individual musicians. This is different from the "big picture" most march-ing band contests focus on, Cox said.
"It's a lot more like looking through a micro-scope," Cox said.
The Spartan Regiment was established in 2010 when the new high school opened. Since then, it has grown to a program with 165 students, 139 who march on the fi eld, Cox said.
"I think we'll do fairly well as long as they keep growing each week," he said. "You just keep push-ing and working."
"The Eternal Battle" is a tale of good versus evil throughout time and in the world today, McGee said.
"I like that the brass

The bands will each per-form at football games Fri-day. Burleson will play in front of a homecoming crowd at BISD Stadium. Centenni-al will play at Crowley. The Spirit of the Elks will have a surprise at the end of its show this week, McGee said,
but wouldn't unveil what that may be.
Burleson continues marching contest season at 11 a.m. Saturday at C.H. Collins Athletic Complex, 1500 Long Road in Denton. Finals competition begins at 5:30 p.m. Centennial will perform at 1:45 p.m. at the Birdville ISD Marching Fes-tival. Finals competition be-gins at 6:45 p.m.
BREAKFAST ▲
FROM PAGE 1
The third annual Break-fast of Champions, benefi ting the Burleson Opportunity Fund, is at 7:30 a.m. at First United Methodist Church, 590 N.E. McAlister Road.
The fund has supported $429,045 in scholarships for Burleson students since its inception. Those dollars have funded 4,400 credit hours for 225 students.
Michael Galasso, a retired BISD teacher, will be honored.
The concept for the Burle-
son Opportunity Fund grew out of a 2007 gathering of community leaders. A schol-arship program was estab-lished with the aim to provide every high school graduate a chance to continue their edu-cation at the post-secondary level. The fund partnered with Hill College to provide at least a full-tuition, one-year scholarship to students.
Last year's Breakfast of Champions raised more than $130,000 from 300 at-
tendees gathered at FUMC.Beverly Volkman Powell
is the chair of the Burleson Opportunity Fund. Addition-ally, BISD Superintendent Bret Jimerson serves as the vice chair and City Council-man Ronnie Johnson is the secretary and treasurer.
Donations may be made to the Burleson Opportunity Fund at burlesonoppfund.com or contact Jesse Elizon-do at [email protected] or 817-426-9682.
The suspects were identi-fi ed as Brandi Dawn Clink-scales, 30, of Covington and Jonathon Lee James, 39, from the Cleburne area.
James is charged with Theft of Material Aluminum/Bronze/Copper/Brass under $20,000 ($5,000.00 bond), Evading Arrest or Deten-tion ($1,000 bond), Posses-sion of Marijuana, less than 2 ounces ($500 bond), Pos-session of Dangerous Drugs ($1,000 bond), and Unlawful
Use of Criminal Instrument ($1,000 bond).
Clinkscales is charged with Theft of Material Alu-minum/Bronze /Copper /Brass less than $20,000 ($5,000 bond), Possession of a Controlled Substances less than 1 gram ($5,000 bond), Evading Arrest or Detention ($1,000 bond), and Unlawful Use of Criminal Instrument ($1,000 bond).
Currently James and Clinkscales are incarcerated

When Davonte Sand-ers hauled in a pass down the middle of the field and raced into the end zone for a 49-yard touchdown to tie the game at 20-20 with 28 seconds to play in the first half, it seemed Cen-tenial had momentum on its side.
The problem was Aledo, the top-ranked team in Class 5A, wasn’t stunned by the upset-minded Spartans.
Aledo answered Sand-ers score with 35 second-half points and clamped down on the Spartans’ triple option attack to win the District 8-5A game, 55-27, Friday at Burleson ISD Stadium.
“You can’t blink against a team like Aledo,” Cen-tennial coach Kyle Geller said. “We blinked in the second half and they took advantage of it.”
Centennial (3-2, 1-1) had trouble mantaining the same offense in the second half. After gaining 222 yards in the fi rst half, Aledo’s defense limited the Spartans to 73 yards on 27 plays in the second half.
“It was a good fi rst half but I don’t want a good fi rst half, I want a com-plete game,” Geller said.
“I told the kids after the game that I was proud of the way they fought but they shouldn’t be happy with a loss.”
Aledo running back Jess Anders proved to be tough to stop. Anders, who scored on runs of 3, 1, 5, 2 and 59 yards, fi nished with 175 yards rushing on 22 carries. He also caught a 46-yard touchdown pass.
After Anders ran for a pair of second-half touch-downs, Aledo’s Ryan New-some found the end zone on 2-yard run that put the Bearcats (4-1, 2-0) up 41-
20 with 1:24 to play in the third quarter.
Centennial then mount-ed an 11- play scoring drive that Ricky Van Weezel capped with a 15-yard run. The Spartans overcame a 10-yard penalty that nulli-fi ed a 24-yard scoring toss from Payton Strambler to Brad Cain to cut the lead to 41-27.
The Spartans recov-ered the ensuing onside kick but were stopped on fourth-down four plays later. Aledo added two more scores to put the game away.
“We made plenty of mistakes on both sides of the ball that allowed Ale-do to separate themselves from us,” said Geller, whose team committed 10 penalies for 95 yards.
The teams traded blows in the fi rst half to end up in a 20-20 tie at halftime.
Centennial took the opening kickoff and ran the ball 13 straight times covering 72 yards and eating 7:41 off the clock. Austin Mortensen scored on a 5-yard run.
“We came out fi ght-ing,” Geller said. “That is the kind of drive you need to make against a team like Aledo if you want to beat them.”
Aledo countered with a 7-play, 58-yard drive that was capped by a
3-yard run by Anders. The Bearcats took a 14-7 lead early in the second quarter on a 1-yard run by Anders.
Two plays later, Cen-tennial closed to within 14-13 on a 50-yard run by Ricky Van Weezel. The se-nior fi nished with 16 car-
ries for 130 yards and two scores.
Anders third score of the half, a 5-yard run gave the Bearcats a 20-13 lead.
With 28 seconds to play, Centennial tied the game on a 49-yard pass from Payton Strambler to
Davonte Sanders.“Payton threw a nice
ball to Davonte,” Geller said. “The line gave Pay-ton protection and Davon-te ran a nice route.”
Centennial plays at Crowley (3-2, 1-1) this Friday at 7:30 p.m. in an-other big 8-5A clash.

Spartans upset bid comes up short
Late score drives spike into ElksBY BRIAN [email protected]
CLEBURNE – Brian Baca’s touchdown run and Brian Arnold’s interception return inside the fi nal two minutes Friday night was enough to lift Cleburne past Burleson, 28-22, at Yellow Jacket Stadium.
Cleburne (2-3, 2-0) has knocked off 2013 playoff qualifi ers in succession to open District 8-5A play, and Friday night’s victory gave it possession of the Silver Spike in the War on 174 series for the fi rst time since 2012.
Burleson (2-3, 1-1) saw its six-game district win streak snapped at the place where it all started last year. Bur-leson meets Joshua (1-4, 0-2) at 7:30 p.m. Friday at Burle-son ISD Stadium during the school’s annual homecoming game.
“The meaning of this loss will depend on what we do from here on out,” Coach Gary McElroy said. “If we don’t go out and take care of business, we’ll look back and say this one hurt.”
Isaiah Spradley’s 70-yard interception return for a score with 9:35 to play looked as if it might be enough for Burleson, but Cleburne had other thoughts.
Baca scored on a 7-yard run with 1:55 left to play and his conversion pass to Jordan Gann tied the game, 22-22. Arnold’s 79-yard intercep-
tion return with 27 seconds left sent Burleson to its third loss in four games. Burleson has now lost two games it led in the fourth quarter and which it led by double-digits
in the second half. Burleson is 0-3 on the road this season.
“It is a recurring theme,” McElroy said. “We have to fi nish games.”
For a split moment, it ap-
peared as if Burleson might be able to score inside the fi -nal minute. It drove 40 yards to the Cleburne 26 and had 41 ticks left on the clock – in good shape for at least a fi eld
goal to win. Instead Arnold came up with a interception to deliver a homecoming vic-tory.
Almost immediately following the game, pho-
to evidence that Arnold’s interception was instead an incompletion began to fi lter out via Twitter, but the ruling stands in the decisive play of the game.
“We were trying to go 2-0. That would have put us alone with Aledo and given us some early separation,” McElroy said. “Instead, Cle-burne and Aledo are 2-0. We just made it a lot harder on ourselves.”
Burleson’s defense had three takeaways in the sec-ond half Friday that gave the offense an opportunity to pull away. The fi rst, early in the third quarter, resulted in a 21-yard Preston Paden touchdown run to put Burle-son up, 15-7, with 6:02 left in the third quarter.
Blaine McRay’s inter-ception was followed on the next Cleburne series by Spradley’s interception return that gave Burleson a 22-7 lead it squandered in the fi nal 9:35. Burle-son lost to Keller Timber Creek earlier this season after posting a 21-point lead in the third quarter.
“We played a great defensive game until the fi nal two minutes,” McEl-roy said.
Defensive end Kenneth Mann led the defense with 7 tackles, 2 sacks and 4 hur-ries. Defensive tackle John Carter had 9 tackles and a

Alvarado’s boy and girls cross country teams had the opportunity Saturday to run on a course they hope to visit again this season - the state champion-ship course at Round Rock’s Old Settlers Park.
The teams competed at one of the largest meets in the state, the Round Rock McNeil Invitational and held their own against some of the top teams in the state.
The Indians scored 538 points and finished 21st in the Gold Division.
“I feel they redeemed themselves after their sub-par performance at the Ken Garland/Justin North-west meet last week,” Alvarado coach Darryl Bish-op said. “Justin Domangue continues to lead this group, finishing 8th overall. All things considered, the guys ran well. We got what we wanted from par-ticipating in this meet and that is the tough compe-tition on the state course, with the largest crowd of people and runners one could ever see.”
Domangue led the Indians with a time of 15 min-utes, 45.86 seconds. Andrew Curry finished 57th
in a time of 16:39.11. Pedro Garcia placed 95th in a time of 16:59.40 and Elias Aguilar finished 118th in the time of 17:09.87. Gerado Garcia was 324th (19:02.60) and Ryan Warren finished 340th (19:42.08).
Competing in the girls Class 4A-and-under di-vision, the Lady Indians finished eighth with 299 points.
“The Girls continued their run on the season which finds them truly in the hunt going into the championship rounds,” Bishop said. “They, too, had nearly 400 runners in their race. Those runners made up 41 teams. The girls placed eighth overall. We had four girls in the top 100. These ladies are looking strong at this point.”
Abigail Garcia finished 14th in a time of 12:29.97. Aimee Molina placed 17th in a time of 12:38.04. Distany Rodriguez finished 42nd (12:38.04). Josie Drury placed 80th in a time of 13:35.33. Noemi Mar-tinez finished 196th (14:41.86) and Deniss Ortega was 235th (15:07.39).

VOLLEYBALL ROUNDUP
Lady Elks win, Lady Spartans fallBY RICKY [email protected]
Burleson’s volleyball team ended the fi rst half of District 8-5A play on a strong note Friday night as the Lady Elks swept Cleburne on the road 25-14, 25-19, 25-22.
The Lady Elks (21-11, 5-2) set goals before the match and achieved them all. The victory kept Burleson within in strik-ing distance of fi rst-place Aledo (29-7, 7-0) and sec-ond-place Granbury (24-8, 6-1).
The team’s top goal was to get a sweep and they achieved it.
“We set goals and we met them,” Burleson coach D’Anna Newton said. “It was a good com-plete team effort.”
The usual suspects were mentioned by New-ton as the Lady Elks’ top performers against the Lady Jackets including seniors Mackenzie Hai-ley, Madson Riley and Madison Landers along with sophomore Meredith Augsburger.
Hailey led the team in kills with 13. Riley fi n-ished with nine kills and Landers had six kills. Augsburger registered three aces, 11 assists and 10 digs. Emily Balliviero posted a team-high 16 assists and Raley Rus-sell had two aces. Morgan Schwarz, Christine Grif-fi n, Landers and Riley each had two blocks
The Lady Elks opened the second-half of 8-5A play Tuesday at home against Crowley (7-15, 2-5). Burleson’s top goal
in the match was not to go fi ve sets like it did against the Lady Eagles in the fi rst-half of district. No result was available for the match at press time.
Burleson hosts Joshua Friday night.
“Right now we are just taking things one match at time,” Newton said. “But on our goal board is to get at Granbury and Aledo. We aren’t looking past anyone though. We are keeping our vision on our top goal of making the playoffs.”
Miscues hurtLady Spartans
Errors have plagued Centennial’s volleyball team all season and they reared their ugly head on Friday night.
It wasn’t the best night to make mistakes consid-ering the Lady Spartans were facing Aledo, the No. 3 ranked team in Class 5A.
The Lady Cats made the Lady Spartans pay for their errors as they remained undefeated in District 8-5A play with a 25-18, 25-21, 25-16 win at Centennial.
“We need to learn how to finish out sets,” Cen-tennial coach Whitney Woody said. “Now that we are better at scoring, we need to work on fin-ishing and minimizing errors.”
Centennial (13-21, 3-4) opened the second-half of district play alone in fourth place. The Lady Spartans played Tuesday at Cleburne (6-17, 1-6).
Results for the match were not available at press time. Centennial plays Friday at Crowley.
Marrisa Thompson led the Lady Spartans with seven kills and Hannah Batten finished with six kills. Laken Cash and Madison Montgomery each had five kills.
Raygen Lee registered 22 assists while Hayli Ga-lupi fi nished with 10 digs and Montgomery had sev-en digs.
“Now we are ready to start the second half of district play,” Woody said. “Here we go.”
The Lady Spartans are going after their fourth consecutive playoff ap-pearance. The program has never missed the playoffs.
Burleson’s Meredith Augsburger (5) and Morgan Schwarz (1) go up for a block during a match earlier this season. BURLESON STAR/LYDIA DICKEY

The meeting was origi-nally scheduled to be held at M7 Arena, but was moved to the Alvarado ISD Admin-istration Building because of the forecast of rain in Johnson County.
The meeting was attend-ed by 62 people who feast-ed on a chuck wagon-style meal provided by M7.
The M7 name is derived from Massy and the seven members of his family, Todd Massey said.
“The M is obvious and the seven is for my wife and I and our fi ve children,” he said. “We believe God is fi rst, family is second and every-thing else is after that.”
M7 Arena features a large outdoor arena with lights, full concession, rest-rooms, two-story announc-ers booth, and plenty of parking. It is located one mile west of I-35W on Farm to Market 3136 (Exit 24).
The arena hosts various rodeo events such as team roping practice/jackpots, barrel/poles practice and barrel jackpots, team sorting and more, and is available for corporate/private venues.
Although the arena is open daily, visitors should “call before you haul” at 817-832-9763.

Annual service at oldest Adventist church in Texas is Saturday CHURCH NEWS ANNIVERSARY
By PAUL GNADT [email protected]
The Clifton/Norse Seventh-day Adventist Church, the old-est standing Adventist church in Texas, will conducts its 31st annual church service at 10 a.m. Saturday.
The Keene Rocketeer Path-fi nder Club will conduct the flag-raising ceremony. The state of Texas will unveil a his-toric marker at the church site. Marjorie Stowe, a Keene resi-dent and the granddaughter of
Ole and Annie Nystel, founders of the Norse Church, will be the recipient of a special tribute. Randy Roberts, senior pastor of the Loma Linda University church in California, is sched-uled to present the sermon.
Healing Heart, a Christian community choir founded in 1992 and directed by Keene resident David Anavitarte, will provide music for the service.
Joe Martin, an optometrist from Cleburne, will provide special music on the piano acompanied by John Roberts,
10-year-old nephew of Randy Roberts.
Following the church service there will be a potluck lunch.
Those wanting to ride horses before the church ser-vice will meet in Keene at 6 a.m. and head to a ranch near the Norse church for a chuck wagon breakfast. The group, including Roberts, will take a 30-minute ride to the church. If you want to ride, contact Yddo Ortiz at 817-517-4650.
The Norse church in Clifton is about a 90-minute drive from Keene.
From Keene, fi nd Texas 174 in Cleburne and take it south through Meridian. Turn right through town to Highway 6. Turn left on Highway 6 for about 8 miles toward Clifton. Turn right on FM 2136 and travel about 3 miles and turn left on County Road 4155 and drive about a mile.
The church is located on the left. It’s about a 90-minute
drive from Keene. If you have questions, con-
tact Stowe at 817-517-7001 or Linda Stair at 817-295-1878.
In 1878, A.W. Jenson, a Danish Seventh-day Adventist minister, was sent to work among the Norwegian Luther-an settlers in Bosque County. Several families purchased his books, studied with him and were baptized into the Adventist Church.
While studying the Bible one day, Ole and Annie Nystel came across a Bible passage they did not understand. Sud-denly, there was a knock at the door and a man in a gray suit was invited into their home to study with them. He explained the passage so that they could understand the meaning. After he left and went out through the gate, he disap-peared. Ole and Annie always believed that an angel was sent to help them understand the Bible passage, Stowe said.
In the 1800s, a small one-room white church was built. The church was deeded to the General Conference of Seventh-day Adventists in 1906, and services were held weekly until 1927. The chil-dren had all gone away to attend academy and college or moved elsewhere — except one daughter, Lizzie. Ole, An-nie and Lizzie traveled the fi ve miles to the church by horse and buggy, until Ole and An-nie became too old to make the trip. Ole died in 1930 and Annie died in 1938.
When the Texas Conference was formed, the church be-came part of the new confer-ence. Today, it is still standing and is the oldest church build-ing in the Texas Conference.
Ole and Annie’s children, Belinda, Lizzie, Thomas, and Agnes, originally cared for the church. That privilege then passed to Ole and An-nie’s granddaughter, Marjorie (Yates) Stowe, the daughter of Agnes, who died in 1981.
“God has watched over that little white church for more than 100 years as a witness to the devotion of these early Adventists,” Stowe said. “The local residents call it ‘Uncle Ole’s Church.’”
There is a cemetery beside the church. Thirteen of the 17 individuals buried there are descendents of Ole and Annie Nystel. Another grave holds one of the sons of Elder A.W. Jenson.
On one of the tombstones is the name Oscar Nystel Stowe said. In 1918, he traveled to Thoreau, New Mexico, to teach in the Indian School, Stowe said.
“Before he even taught one day, he contracted the flu. His sister, Agnes, who was teaching school in Elgin, went to New Mexico to care for him,” she said. “However, he died before she arrived. She also contracted the flu, so the eldest sister, Belinda, a nurse, went to New Mexico and brought them both home to Clifton.”
The annual service at the Clifton/Norse Adventist Church, the oldest Adventist church in Texas, will be at 10 a.m. Satur-day. BURLESON STAR/COURTESY TEXAS ADVENTIST CONFERENCE
