Water world: SplashPad set to open here Memorial Day

BY NATALIE GENTRY It looks like Springtown residents of all ages will have a place to cool off next summer – right here in town.

Erica Montgomery of Vortex Aquatic Structures International presented her company’s vision for Springtown’s SplashPad. The structure will be located by the Walnut Creek playground on the east end of town.

The plan is for the SplashPad to open on Memorial Day weekend.

in their bay.

“Otherwise we might have a 12-yearold bother in one bay, shooting his 2-year-old brother in another with a water cannon,” Montgomery said.

An additional safety feature is the heavy rubber toe guard that surrounds the base of each of the above-ground elements to prevent stubbed toes.

Design There are 26 colors available for the elements, and the city can choose. All of the colors are powder coated to make sure they last for years.

The city also has a choice in the color of the ground cover.

The flooring will be a six inch concrete slab covered with a rubberized coating called Tough Coat.

The large bucket at the center of the larger bay dumps 32 gallons of water on the assembled crowd below approximately once a minute.

“The water causes the bucket to slowly lean as it fills and it is fun to watch the kids run over just in time and to interact with the bucket,” Montgomery said.

Durability The overriding theme of the presentation was longevity and adaptability.

The pad will be equipped with interchangeable elements that fit over universal connections. This will allow for expansion of the pad in the future.

“There are 46 spray elements including 34 ground spray nozzles and 12 above-ground elements,” Montgomery said.

All of the elements are stainless steel products. There are no plastic fittings or fiberglass fixtures.

Spray caps are installed over ground sprays that can later be fitted with a new Water consumption The pad is also designed so that eleelement. ments can be sequenced to make sure they are not all on at once.

The council decided to provide notice and call a public hearing for discussion of the proposed city ordinance regulating the maintenance of parking lots by their owners.

The ordinance would require property owners to repair potholes in parking lots that may damage vehicles.

Erica Montgomery of Vortex Aquatic Structures International presented her concept for the proposed Springtown SplashPad to the city council on Nov 21.

Harms retires after three decades in flowers

BY NATALIE GENTRY Mary Jo Harms has been a major part of Springtown’s business community for 31 years.

She has been Springtown Chamber of Commerce’s Member of the Year, Woman of the Year, and Neighbor of the Year, among other accolades.

But it wasn’t originally Harms’ idea to become a business owner.

“One night while Melton [her husband] was working in the dairy barn and thinking about stuff, he began to worry that I couldn’t run the dairy if something happened to him,” Harms said. “He began to think about things I could do.” Melton knew Harms was “crafty” so, unbeknownst to her, he spoke to the owner of the florist shop, and arranged to buy the store.

“The next afternoon as he went to work he said ‘I need to tell you something,’” Harms continued. “I thought okay, what’s this about? And he said ‘I Mary Jo Harms, of Springtown bought the flower shop for you.’”

Harms was a little concerned about Flower and Gifts, is retiring after 31 years.

Photo by Natalie Gentry this turn of events, because she knew

nothing about the business she was expected to start working at the Monday after her daughter got married.

“I knew nothing about anything,” Harms laughed. “I thought I could work half days, but that didn’t last long.”

So much work was required to reorganize and rebuild the business that Harms had to work six, and sometimes, seven days a week.

Harms remembered the move in 1987 from the old building and the planning of the new one. “We had worked in a tiny, tiny area, so I wanted some space,” Harms said. “I had worked long enough now that I knew what we needed.”

The design for the store’s layout was drawn out on butcher paper and shown to the builder.

“I knew how many work tables and shelves we needed, and we drew out the gazebo, too,” Harms said.

Harms described the work that went into building the business, and it’s easy to see that she values the work done by her employees.

She even went so far as to write a letter ensuring a job for a previous employee who was returning from a five-year stint in Turkey. Most of Harms’ staff has been with her for years, and it is a reflection of Harm’s devotion to the store and the staff. “All of the employees are part-time because that’s the way they want it,” Harms said. “None of them have to work – they enjoy it, and many of them have been here for years and years.”

Another group that Harms appreciates is her customers. “Flowers aren’t a necessity, so I’m always so thankful for the customers who have stayed with us and supported us.” Harms said.

It is apparent that many of her customers appreciate her too by the additions they have made to her collection.

Harms collects pigs, and customers throughout the years have brought pigs of all shapes and sizes to add to the bunch. “Just the other day a customer brought in a little pig vase.” Harms said.

Harms has always stayed busy, even when she isn’t at the shop, and she plans

to keep it that way.

She joined the Chamber of Commerce board a year after she bought the flower shop and she is on the Neighbor to Neighbor board for the second time.

Harms and her family also work with the Parker County Livestock Association. The week of the annual county show is the only time Harms has taken off during her time at the shop.

“And we still have the farm,” Harms said. “There is always work on the farm.”

Just as Harms wasn’t looking to get into the business, she wasn’t searching for a way out either.

“I’d never seriously thought about retiring exactly, but when Radonna Dunlap asked if I would be willing to sell the store I considered it,” Harms said.

“The right time to sell is when you have a buyer.

“It was the first time I really had a buyer that I truly thought could do it and work with the staff,” Harms continued. “It has just been so much fun. It’s been a lot of work, but I have loved and enjoyed it.”

Fracking not likely a quake cause, says state expert ■ FRACKING, FROM PAGE ONE.

tion between saltwater disposal wells and the quakes, remains doubtful that oil and gas development is to blame.

“I’m always concerned when scientists use the word ‘correlation’ instead of the word ‘evidence,’” King said. “Dr. Frohlich also pointed out there is little to no seismic equipment deployed in this area to determine if that’s the case.”

King pointed out that more than a million wells have been drilled in the state of Texas, and more than a thousand saltwater disposal wells exist.

“Common sense causes me to ask why would we just now be having seismic problems,” King said. “And why are they only in Azle, Texas?”

Both King and Geren say they don’t have the answers and frankly, are trying to find the right questions to ask.

Geren says they have much to learn.

“I’m going to learn as much as I possibly can about earthquakes over the next 13 months,” Geren said, referring to the next Texas legislative session which begins in January 2015. “It’s something I’m sure we will be talking about.”

The 1931 Valentine quake The largest earthquake ever recorded in the Lone Star State occurred in far West Texas near Valentine on Aug. 16, 1931.

The quake was a magnitude 5.8 and was rated with an intensity of VIII. In terms of magnitude and damage, this is the largest

earthquake known to have occurred in Texas, according to the United States Geological Survey (USGS) website.

The most severe damage was reported at Valentine, where all buildings except wood-frame houses were damaged severely and all brick chimneys toppled or were damaged.

The schoolhouse, which consisted of one section of concrete blocks and another section of bricks, was damaged so badly that it had to be rebuilt.

Small cracks formed in the schoolhouse yard. Some walls collapsed in adobe buildings, and ceilings and partitions were This map details the magnitudes of the recent earthquakes in the local area. damaged in wood-frame structures. Some concrete and brick walls were cracked severely.

One low wall, reinforced with concrete, was broken and thrown down. Tombstones in a local cemetery were rotated.

Damage to property was reported from widely scattered points in Brewster, Jeff Davis, Culberson, and Presidio Counties.

Landslides occurred in the Van Horn Mountains, southwest of Lobo; in the Chisos Mountains, in the area of Big Bend; and farther northwest, near Pilares and Porvenir. Landslides also occurred in the Guadalupe Mountains, near Carlsbad, New Mexico, and slides of rock and dirt were reported near Picacho, New Mexico.

Well water and springs were muddied throughout the area.

The quake was also felt in parts of Oklahoma, New Mexico, and in Chihauhua and Coahuila, Mexico.

King talks water, Medicaid, quakes Senior Angel

BY NATALIE GENTRY Representative Phil King addressed several topics at a Springtown Chamber of Commerce luncheon.

Right off, King cautioned listeners not to confuse Austin with Washington.

In contrast to the political stonewalling in Washington that has led to a $17 trillion national debt, Texas has an $8 billion savings account or rainy day fund, he said.

That is twice the amount of Oklahoma’s entire state budget.

In fact, King said, that amount is more than lawmakers think the state requires as a safety net, so they are considering ways to best use the funds.

King joked: Maybe buy Oklahoma?

The state’s economy Kidding aside and despite the tight economy, King assured those assembled that Texas is doing very well economically.

For nine years Texas has been ranked as one of the best states in which to do business, according to Chief Executive Magazine.

In addition, Texas has kept the unemployment rate about a point below the national average for the last consecutive 82 months.

King pointed out that there is growth in areas other than fossil fuels. “Motorola is building the first smart phone to be manufactured in the United States in its Fort Worth plant,” he said.

“And Caterpillar has closed all nine international production plants and now builds all their engines in Texas.”

King noted that the Texas legislature works to make the state business friendly and they have established a formula that will allow it to remain that way.

“We’ve found that if we practice limited government and businesses have a certainty in regulations, a low tax base, a fair court system, and an educated workforce, people will find a way to make a living, build business, and grow the economy,” he said.

Medicaid Medicaid is a concern for Texas, King said.

“It has gotten out of control,” he said. “Of the $97 billion state budget, $30 billion goes to fund Medicaid.”

The concern for this federally instituted program is that fraud and abuse are rampant and the program itself is inefficient and doesn’t provide well for the people who are enrolled on it, King insisted.

Texas (and many other states) is petitioning Washington for waivers, but has yet to receive any.

The state has also petitioned to be allowed to create its own program tailored to accommo-

Water King addressed Proposition 6 Transportation The legislator said a Transregarding water supply.

on the ballot for next November.

He explained that as long as the rainy day fund maintained a minimum balance, 50 percent of the money that would previously have been deposited in the account would be diverted to the transportation fund to build new roads.

“If it passes, we think that should fund $1.2 billion a year in new road construction without raising taxes and without having to cut anything” King said.

Pro-life bill King also mentioned that the House and Senate passed a pro-life bill stating that abortions cannot be performed once gestation has reached the sixth month.

The bill also requires abortion clinics to meet the same standards as other out-patient clinics.

Earthquakes King talked about the recent local earthquake phenomenon.

“There are some suggestions that it may be from salt-water disposal wells. I don’t know,” King said. “But there are tens of thousands of salt-water disposal wells and well over a million oil and gas wells operating in the state of Texas and the thought that, for some reason, in Parker County they are causing earthquakes – and not anywhere else – just doesn’t seem pragmatic.”

He continued, “Maybe there’s some odd geological thing going on, but I don’t know.”

He and Rep. Charlie Geren had a conference call with a state geologist later that afternoon.

She currently is enrolled in Advanced Placement U.S. History and Pre-AP in physics, pre-calculus, and English.

Langham is the junior class representative and the Spanish Club treasurer.

She is heavily involved in band and is a drum major for the Sound of Springtown where she also is the baritone section leader.

Langham, skilled on multiple instruments, received a 1 on solo and is part of the All-Region band. She has won the Texas Music Scholar Award.

She helps annually at her church’s Christmas play and Vacation Bible School, and

SHS big on 6-3A VB list

Lady Porcupines filled up the 6-3A All-District volleyball list – which makes sense when you consider that Springtown lost just one game while going 10-0 in district matches.

Coach Leighann Strickland said, “We swept everyone but one. That says a lot in your level of play but also how well my kids were able to keep their focus and take care of business.”

The only downside of being so dominant is that SHS athletes didn’t build big stats because they won so quickly.

Still, Springtown athletes raked in the superlatives, oneof-a-kind honors.

Shelbi Meek, who shone at every spot on the court, was chosen the 6-3A MVP. Also taking unique honors was Kendyl Dean, the Defensive MVP. Three more Lady Porcupines shared superlatives. Ashley Mainord, who has signed to continue playing volleyball at Western Missouri State, was the co-MVP Hitter. Sister Katelynn Mainord was the Co-MVP blocker. And Brooklyn Dauenhauer was picked as Co-MVP Shelbi Meek was the Most Valuable Player in 6-3A according the district coaches.

“I’m proud of my kids for getting most of the superlatives,” Strickland said. “They very much deserve every award we got.”

Porcupines can’t weather Stephenville onslaught in Area

BY MARK K CAMPBELL The Area game weather outside was frightful – and so was the start of the contest for Springtown.

“We only had three snaps and we were behind 21-0,” SHS coach Brad Turner said.

Stephenville, reining state champions, went on to win 6321 and end the Springtown (66) season.

“They’re the defending state champs for a reason,” Turner noted.

Conditions could hardly have been worse at the Northwest ISD Stadium: “sideways” rain, cold weather, windy, and a chill factor in the 20’s.

Turner said for his Porcupines to hang with the Yellow Jackets, “we had to do three things – tackle well, handle the football, and play good special teams. None of that happened.”

Factor in the poor weather and the game got away quickly.

On Springtown’s first possession, QB Landry Turner had three balls dropped.

Soon, Stephenville tacked on a couple more TDs, one off a blocked punt and another assisted by a kickoff into the gale that SHS mishandled.

Coach Turner noted that the Porcupines were in ratified playoff air.

“We were in new territory, facing that opponent in that weather,” he said.

But he lauded his squad’s efforts.

Trailing 28-0 after one quarter, things kept getting worse.

Soon it was 42-0.

But SHS broke a big play when Ryan Snow caught a Landry pass and raced to the Yellow Jacket end zone for a 76-yard score.

Snow ended up with a nice game. He rushed for a teamhigh 85 yards and caught a pair of passes for 90 more.

Turner had high praise for his 2013 seniors.

“We played a tough non-disThere was no better defensive player in Distrcit 6-3A than Springtown’s Kendyl Dean.

In the second half, the Porcupines put together a pair of long drives.

One was 10 plays long and covered 68 yards, capped by a 1-yard TD run by QB Turner.

The second came in the fourth quarter when Turner

found Mateo Herrera for an 18yard touchdown which finished off a 12-play, 77-yard drive.

Eric Avalos kicked a trio of PATs in the poor weather.

After that non-district slate and a loss in the 6-3A opener, Springtown won five games in a row, including the first playoff victory since 2005.

“I’m proud of this group,” Turner said, “They accomplished a lot of things.”

Quarterback Landry Turner was chosen the Offensive Player of the Year.

Mateo Herrera was picked as the Offensive Newcomer of the Year.

While district champ Kennedale dominated the other superlatives, SHS had 10 players land on the First Team list, five on each side of the ball.

Like Turner, some were unanimous selections.

LETTER TO THE EDITOR Positive words help cancer patients To the editor: For life’s most difficult journeys, there’s no overstating the important role that friends and loved ones play in helping you make it through. This is especially true for cancer patients.

That’s why, as Thanksgiving approaches, we urge you to take time to recognize and thank those who are helping patients with emotional, physical, and financial support. And most of all, giving them hope.

Everything we do to encourage cancer patients strengthens them, and

helps them see past the immediate challenges to a future beyond treatment.

One that can be filled with life’s big and joyful events, as well as smaller precious moments – a daughter’s wedding, running a marathon, a grandson’s graduation, joining a community choir, seeing a nephew’s first steps.

To those who inspire our patients to be strong in their fight against cancer, we thank you for giving hope, and we invite you to share personal words of encouragement and support for cancer patients at www.facebook.com/TexasOncology.

When he began talking, his voice was so deep-toned in the 1930’s.

Then he moved out here to Medina County, right here on this creek (Hondo). He stock HISTORICAL handled and farmed. I HIGHLIGHTS don't remember how many Laurie Moseley acres he had Good God! He had a big farm. He had at least eight whole families (slaves). My old boss, he sold 'em. When he wanted money, he'd sell off some of 'em. Sometimes he'd sell a pair. My mother's name was Mary Harper and my father's name was Ike Harper and they belonged to the Harpers, too, you know. You know, after so long a time after they was turned loose they had to name themselves.

My father named hisself Grant and

his brother my uncle named himself Glover and my grandfather was Filmore. They had some kind of law that you had to get away from your boss' name and they named themselves. We went before the county court. He was the county judge, I think, that took our names. My brother's name was Henry, but my sisters was born and raised here in Texas.

Fiftieth anniversary of President Kennedy assassination marked with wide coverage

T

exans, Americans and citizens of the world in the past week remembered the shock and aftermath of the assassination of President John F. Kennedy 50 years ago in Dallas, on Nov. 22, 1963.

Many newspapers and other media reflected on coverage of those days, some expanding on how the assassination changed views on public safety and kindled the public’s desire for a faster-moving stream of news.

A ceremony was held in Dallas on Nov. 22 at Dealey Plaza, adjacent to the street where assassin’s bullets struck President Kennedy and then-Texas Gov. John Connally, who survived wounds to his chest and wrist from a bullet that first passed through the president’s body.

Eyewitnesses at the scene of the shooting and related events in 1963, in news accounts published in recent days, and at the heavily reported memorial ceremony in Dallas last week,

expressed their persistent impressions of what they saw and heard.

Court will not intervene New abortion regulations passed by the Texas Legislature last summer will stand, pursuant to an order issued by the U.S. Supreme Court on Nov. 19.

Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia, writing for the 5-4 majority, rejected Planned Parenthood’s motion for the high court to intervene in its case challenging the constitutionality of certain provisions in the new law.

On Oct. 30, a three-judge panel of the U.S. Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals overruled a lower court’s stay preventing parts of the new law from taking effect. The short-lived stay was granted on Oct. 28 by Austin U.S. District Judge Lee Yeakel, who ruled unconstitutional the law’s requirement that an abortion provider have admitting privileges at a nearby, stateapproved “ambulatory surgical

center” and the law’s prohibition against a physician u s i n g their own m e d i cal judgment in prescribing an STATE abortionCAPITAL inducing HIGHLIGHTS m e d i c a tion.

Group shuts down ‘hunt’ The Young Conservatives of Texas, a student group at the University of Texas at Austin, called off “Catch an Illegal Immigrant” game that it had planned to conduct on the UT campus last week.

University President Bill Powers denounced the activity and called on the group to cancel it. The group’s chairman, Lorenzo Garcia, complied.

Reportedly, the gubernatorial campaign of Attorney General Abbott, who is running for governor, distanced itself from Garcia, a former field director for the campaign.

Remarks from a graduate 50 years later Springtown resident Robert E. Wilson, a graduate and Class of 1963 president of Gila Bend High School in Arizona, was asked to speak at his alma mater 50 years later. This is what he said.

Even though many of us that graduated in 1963 were very poor or we had difficult home lives we have accomplished much. The class of 1963 was a small class of 18 but many of us have had successful lives. Here is an overview on some of the class member’s accomplishments.

The valedictorian went to U. of A. where he received a degree in engineering and later receive his PHD. The salutatorian went to the U. of A. receiving his pharmaceutical degree which allowed him to continue his education while working as a pharmacist and then he became a medical doctor.

Three of our classmates became successful business owners. One owning her own excavating company and later she worked in the State of Colorado Judicial System. Another owned his own auto parts store, while another owned a water bottling company.

One worked for the electric company in Arizona and became an electrical engineer before he retired. One became an electronic repair technician and went on to become an engineering group supervisor. Another worked in several banks and became an election officer for the state of Arizona. Another worked for Honeywell as an Aero Space Engineer. The class of 1963 was very successful and we accomplished much.

I owe much of what I am today to Gila Bend Schools, its teachers and staff.

My first encounter in Gila Bend Schools was my fourth grade teacher Mrs. Stewart.

Now Mrs. Stewart was a strong disciplinarian. She would give us a whack on the palm of our hands if we slumped down in our seat. She taught us to pull our shoulders back and standup straight. She would really get onto us if we didn’t know an answer to a question and just shrugged our shoulders.

She said that by shrugging our shoulders we were saying “I don’t know and I don’t care!”

She brought toothbrushes and toothpaste to school and taught us how to brush our teeth.

But the person I owe the most to is Mr. Francis Sullivan my eighth grade history teacher.

He pulled me aside one day as class ended and told me that he knew that I wasn’t living up to my full potential. I was struggling to get by in his class just barely making a passing grade.

He said that he knew that I could do better and wanted to show me how to study, which he did.

He also told me if I didn’t improve my grades he was going to make sure that I stayed in the eighth grade. That was enough encouragement for me!

I went home that night and studied as he had taught me.

After our test that next week, he held me over again after class and told me that he was proud of me and reassured me that he knew that I could get better grades. I had gotten an “A” on my test that week. From that day on I took pride in my studies and became an honor student.

I am telling you this because you have some of the best teachers that are available to you.

Take advantage of them, use them to help you do your best. It is time now to contact colleges and trade schools to seek out programs and scholarships and grants. Talk to your counselors, teachers, parents, and your minister for advice to help you with

any decisions that you may have about your future.

I will never forget that in 1963 one of our teachers asked us to think about what the world would be like in the year 2000. We strained and came up with some pretty lame ideals but none of us ever thought that we would have seen as many changes as we have.

Oh, yes, we have seen a lot of changes to this old world in our short 50 years since we graduated. Yes, 50 short years.

You see time is only relative to your prospective. When you were a one year old, a year was a lifetime but by the time you got to be 12 years old it was only one twelfth of your lifetime and it seems a little shorter.

And, as you get even older, a year seems even shorter until all of the years start to run together. I use to think my grandfathers that were born in 1895 had seen lots of changes to this

world. Both of them started making their living with mule teams and were able to see the invention of the automobile, airplanes, common use of electric lights, radio, and television.

They also witnessed an important historical event on February 14, 1912. Do you know what that was?

Arizona became a state. Before they passed away at the age of 93, they witnessed the launch the Russian satellite Sputnik on Oct. 4, 1957 which started the Space Race. Twelve years later on July 20, 1969 they watched Neil Armstrong and Buzz Aldrin walk on the moon.

Some of the changes that the class of 1963 witnessed that you may not have seen or may not know what I am talking about while others are still in use – the seven transistor pock-

et radio; the first electronic calculators; cassette tape players; four track and eight track players; microwave ovens; MRIs; CAT scans; cell phones; computers; the Internet; iPhones, electric cars and jet airliners; space travel and the international space station. There are many more items that have been invented that I don’t have the time to mention but you get the idea.

I remember how sad we were on January 3, 1959 while we were in the eighth grade.

Do you know why? Because Alaska became the 49th state of the union and Arizona was no longer consider the “Baby State”.

I can’t fail to mention Nov. 22, 1963 when President Kennedy was killed. How well I remember what I was doing and where I was when I heard about

his assassination. What historical events and inventions will you see in the next 50 years?

Always be aware of things that you might be able to change or make the better. You, too, can be successful and make the world a better place than what it was when you came into it.

The class of 1963 is almost finished running “The Great Relay Race of Life,” but we aren’t finished yet. Before we finish that great race we want to pass on the baton of life challenges to the graduating class of 2013–14.

We, too, have run a good race for the last 50 years. We continued our educations throughout our lives. We married and raised our families. We have watched our children grow to be adults and they have families of their own. Now we can enjoy our grandchildren and help them to become responsible adults.

You will soon be in the starting blocks of life for that “Great Relay Race of Life.” The first part of that race you will need to keep educating yourself whether it is going to college or a trade school to acquire a skill that will enable you to support yourself throughout your career. Then you will join the ranks of the employed.

Some of you will marry and raise a family while trying to set aside something for retirement. If you work it right you can come back here and pass on this symbolic gesture that I am giving to you today the “Relay of Life Baton.” Always strive to do your best at everything.

I want to leave you with a quote from Henry Ford: When everything seems to be going against you, remember that the airplane takes off against the wind, not with it.

Have A Great Thanksgiving!

Movie Man

Thursday, November 28, 2013

Second Hunger Games solid but the first was better Whenever popular books are made into movies, the result can mighty varied.

Novels are often highly detailed and enjoy the luxury of spending long stretches building characters and settings.

Movie adaptations almost always have to hack out some – often a lot – of material to squeeze the gist of the story into the different medium.

About the film The Movie Man was blown away by how great the first version of The Hunger Games was last year. He loved it (Movie Man No. 975, 9) and only the amazing Life of Pi (MM #1,011, 9) beat it out for Best of Year.

After such a superior start, hope is high for the second of four Hunger Games movies, Catching Fire. (The finale novel, Mockingjay, is being split into two movies.)

Still, a lot was cut out of the books. (Fanboys complained that cuts of major themes is what made the recent Ender’s Game [MM #1,060, 6] so lackluster.)

No books suffered more scissoring than the Harry Potter series, but those long novels simply had to be pared down for movies.

The flip side of omissions is also true sometimes.

For Peter Jackson’s The Hobbit: The Desolation of Smaug, an entirely new character was created. That’s blasphemy to hardcore Tolkein fans. No matter – Evangeline Lilly (from TV’s Lost) will portray a madeup character, Tauriel, an elf.

Catching Fire also had to pare down its sprawling cast of characters. That’s not unusual.

What is unusual is that an actor, between Hunger Games filming, made a movie that won her a Best Actress Oscar. Suddenly, a successful YA (young adult) series is being led by an Academy Award winner, Jennifer Lawrence who claimed the statue for Silver Linings Playbook (2011, MM #1,019, 6).

That gives Catching Fire even more cred – and it was already in high cotton because of the superlative first movie.

The plot After thrilling Panem – the future world divided into 12 districts – with their controversial way of ending the 74th Hunger Games, Katniss (Lawrence) and Peeta (Josh Hutcherson), now distant, are set to go on a Victory Tour.

They’re supposed to pump up how great Panem is , but district folk – tired of laboring for almost nothing – have adopted Katniss as their revolutionary symbol and begin raising Cain.

That doesn’t make President Snow (Donald Sutherland) very happy. She tells Lawrence to make sure any rebel ideas are squashed or her family will die.

But the reactionaries are already revolting. Snow, with new games creator Plutarch Heavensby (Philip Seymour Hoffman), decides the best way to quell Lawrence’s rising stock is to have her die.

So Sutherland, to celebrate the 75th Hunger Games, brings back former contest winners (who were supposed to be exempt forever, historically).

That means Lawrence and Hutcherson, with guidance again from former winner

Movie Man Haymitch (Woody Harrelson), must fight to the death again.

Back in the arena, however, something’s amiss, as Lawrence noted a couple of times.

Even though some tributes die, she now has “allies” in the arena. And later, after she figures out how to end this second contest, she really finds out what’s going on.

What works (spoiler) Lawrence is fine at Katniss; it’s very good casting. Also exceptional are Harrelson, Hoffman, and, especially, Sutherland as the evil president.

A couple of the set pieces from the book are well recognized.

through the jungle looks neat.

And how the survivors figure out what the weird island actually is works, too.

Three new tributes get well established: macho Finnick (San Claflin), angry Johanna (Jenna Malone), and techowhiz Beetee (Jeffrey Wright).

Claflin’s actions after the tributes initially are exposed to the arena gives you an idea of what’s to come.

A lot of time is spent back in District 12 early in the movie which is kinda cool (however, see What doesn’t work).

The music fits. There’s always a modern soundtrack to the Hunger Games films, but they are more stand alone; it’s the score that’s so good here.

The final shot is so effective Hutcherson’s Peeta is such a that no one with the Movie wuss that it’s hard to buy that Man knew the movie was over. Lawrence could fall for him.

Surviving the holiday season with GriefShare

BY NATALIE GENTRY no Christmas decorations in my “Blessed are those who house at all. Not even a tree.

“Christmas was Sarah’s favormourn, for they shall be comfortite time of year and the whole ed.” ~Matthew 5:4 tree decorating process was her The holiday season is a time realm.”

He continued, “She meticuof celebrations and Christmas lously decorated it, making sure cheer.

However, for families coping her favorite ornaments were with the death of a loved one, it prominently displayed. But that can also be a stark reminder of fi rst Christmas after she died was without joy and I couldn’t bring their loss.

Because sorrow felt during this myself to do any of the usual time of year is often magnifi ed family traditions.” by the additional loss of family “(Grief) is an emotional, physholiday traditions, the grief can become overwhelming for some. ical and spiritual necessity, the This is especially true for those price you pay for love. The only who are facing the season for the cure for grief is to grieve.” ~Earl fi rst time without their loved one. Grollman Brian Brinkmann understands Brinkmann, like many oththis very well.

In the four years since his teen- ers, found help for his sorrow age daughter, Sarah, was killed through a grief recovery group in a car crash, he has experienced called GriefShare – a program that focuses on building a netthe roller coaster that is grief.

“My memories of the fi rst hol- work of support and a foundation iday season after Sarah died are for healing.

GriefShare differs from other a blur,” Brinkmann said. “That fi rst Christmas is remembered grief support group in that they more by what we didn’t do rather intentionally present a path to than what we did. There were healing.

The groups are open to anyone who has lost a loved one to death, regardless of how or how long it has been since that person died.

“While many of our fi rst-time participants have suffered recent loss, many others have been carrying the burden of grief much longer,” Brinkmann said. “Many

have just come to the place where they can no longer deny the effects of grief, or have grown weary of trying to ‘be strong’ and have become stuck in grief.”

Brinkmann explained that one of the things the program encourages those grieving the loss of a loved one during the holiday season is to say ‘no’ to activities or events that they may have trou-

to redefi ne the relationship with the loved one who has died.

Revising or reinventing family holiday traditions in a way that includes memorializing the one lost can be very helpful in grief recovery.

These new traditions can be as simple as donating to a specifi c charity in honor of a loved one or, in the case of a death of a child, sponsoring a child from a local angel tree.

“Largely because of GriefShare and the comfort I received from God, the second time through the holidays was much different,” Brinkmann remembered.

“We had lights on the house and decorations on the tree. And “I still miss those I loved who while the sorrow was still strong are no longer with me, but I fi nd I – and still is at year four – we am grateful for having loved them. were able to experience the joy The gratitude has fi nally conof Christmas again.” quered the loss.” ~Rita Mae Brown He continued, “As for remembering Sarah during the holidays, The goal for people participatthat is easy because her favorite ing in GriefShare is to turn their ornaments still get the best spots mourning into joy. on the tree – except I have added Brinkmann explained that part my favorite ornament...a pinkof grief recovery is learning how haired Barbie princess.” ble planning or attending “For example,” he said, “if the spouse who normally planned the family gathering has passed, it is all right for the surviving spouse to cancel it for this year, or to enlist other family members to assist.”

“When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure.” ~Author Unknown There are thousands of GriefShare support groups throughout the Unites States.

Local groups include meetings at First Baptist Church Castles Hills in Azle, North Side Baptist Church in Weatherford, and Grace Fellowship in Paradise.

Meetings typically include a video seminar and group discussions about the presentation and anything going on in the members’ lives.

The groups often meet weekly and are currently tailoring their programs around this exceptionally difficult time of year.
