AHS’ Oz brings down the house Drama Club presents famed musical to thousands of local patrons by carla noah stutsman It’s been all the buzz around Azle for weeks: Azle High School (AHS) Drama Department’s production of The Wizard of Oz. All that hype did not over-promise – many who saw one of four student performances and four public performances of the beloved musical have proclaimed it the best ever produced at AHS. On Monday, Dec. 15, a weary yet still-beaming Tia Moen, theater director at AHS, said she was elated at the response to the production and could not be more proud.

“I feel good because I feel like so much of Azle saw this show, and it was great opportunity for them to see what our youth and the arts are about and what they can do,” Moen said.

She credits a wonderful booster program for helping pull the production off.

“I couldn’t live without them,” Moen said. “They’re amazing – they’re my backbone and I could never have done this production without their hard work and support.”

Moen said about 2,700 students in grades two through eight from across the Azle Independent School District were bused to AHS to see either Act One or Act Two of Oz prior to four public performances Dec. 12-14.

She estimated that about 2,000 patrons attended the public performances.

The lead role of Dorothy Gale was

played by AHS senior Mia Gordy, with Allison Simpson as understudy.

Gordy and Simpson each performed two of the student performances; Gordy performed for the Friday, Saturday night and Sunday matinee public performances, while Simpson starred in the Saturday matinee.

Other lead roles in the production include Cookie (the dog) as Toto; Brielle Gilchrist as Glinda, the Good Witch of the North; Taylor May, the Wicked Witch of the West; Garrett Gibbons as Scarecrow; Peyton Smith as Tinman; Julie Waldock as Lion; Elisabeth Sloan as Oz Guard; and Dylan Yeats as the Wizard of Oz. In addition to an extended cast list beyond the main characters, about 30 elementary, middle and junior high students from within the Azle ISD were cast as Munchkins.

They provided several of the many laughs and fond moments identified with the revered book series and motion picture of the same name.

One thing Moen says was most inspiring to her came after the final performance, when the 24 AHS seniors in the production each had the opportunity to speak to underclassmen.

“They shared their experiences, reflected on what they’ve learned, and made some recommendations,” Moen said. “The rest of those kids were crying before we were through.”

She is most honored that several of her students want to study theater after

In fact, the stage manager for Oz actually hopes to pursue a career as a theater teacher.

“That’s the highest compliment anyone could give me,” Moen said. “I’ve watched her grow both in character and in strength, and I couldn’t be prouder of her.”

Similarly, the cast and crew of Oz did “talk back” sessions with students fol-

lowing each student performance.

“Hearing their feedback was our favorite part of the day,” Moen said.

“We were most frightened of the eighth graders, but they turned out to be the best – they really enjoyed the show, but they asked some very real questions afterward.”

Now in her ninth year as Theater Director at AHS, Moen said while theater is obviously a form of entertainment,

Gym, CATE center construction moves along by carla noah stutsman Trustees for the Azle Independent School District (AISD) heard an update from Derek Herschberger, project manager with Buford-Thompson Company, the construction manager for the competition gymnasium, Career and Technology Education (CATE) center, and campus-wide sprinkler system at Azle High School.

According to Herschberger, the sprinkler system installation is now complete.

At the site of the future competition gym, drilled building piers are complete and the building slab has been poured out to about 70 percent.

Herschberger said the initial grind for the polished concrete has begun on the in-place slab of gymnasium building “A” and load-bearing masonry has begun on the east side of that building.

CMU masonry on gym building “B” is 80 percent complete, he said.

Over at the CATE center site, the building pad and drilled piers are complete and excavation and form-

ing of grade beams have started.

Finally, Herschberger said, overall site utilities are about 75 percent complete.

Coming up, the rest of the gym slab is scheduled to be poured this week (Dec. 15-19) and formwork for the east bleachers will begin this week, as well.

West exterior and bleacher walls for the gym should also begin this week.

The first grade beam pour on the CATE center should occur this week, with the next pour scheduled just prior to Christmas, Herschberger said.

Road cuts on bus drives for the installation of storm line will be done over the Christmas break, and will be poured back before school resumes after the first of the year, Herschberger told Trustees.

it also teaches management skills that benefit students throughout their lives – regardless of where they end up after high school.

“The biggest benefit for me is seeing those kids’ faces when we go to the elementary schools, and the faces of my kids (students),” Moen said. “I love what I do. If I teach my students to be passionate for the arts, I’ve done my job.”

Silver Creek Bridge closed by carla noah stutsman We all know that scenic shortcut from Lakeside, around the west side of Lake Worth, and on into the White Settlement area.

But we’ll have to kiss it goodbye – until next summer, that is.

The Texas Department of Transportation (TxDOT), in partnership with the City of Fort Worth, began work on the Silver Creek bridge reconstruction project Dec. 1.

The project, intended to improve mobility, safety and connectivity, will replace the existing structure with a two-lane bridge including shoulders.

The project was awarded to CD Builders, Inc. for $1 million.

During construction, local access will continue to be available to motorists both north and south of the Silver Creek area between FM 1886 (Confederate Park Road) and Clifford Street.

Through traffic will detour around the bridge area.

Message boards advising of the detour have been posted.

With the closure of the bridge, the reconstruction can be accelerated, and the bridge should reopen next summer, according to TxDOT officials During this project, the City of Fort Worth will also rehabilitate Silver Creek Road south of the bridge area.

Serving Their Community

Members of Azle High School’s Student Council, National Honor Society (NHS), Peer Assistance & Leadership (PALs), and Teen Leadership descended on the Azle Memorial Library Friday morning, Dec. 12 to perform a community service project. The students, including more than 130 freshmen involved with Teen Leadership, performed landscaping tasks and repainted fire lanes, among other projects.

Student Council Advisor Chad Cooke and Community Service Chairman Morgan Ivie directed students which Cooke said would not have been possible without the support of AHS Principal Sam Robinson and a donation from Tarrant Regional Water District.

Correction Last week’s News had a couple of notations that need correcting.

First, the photo on Page 1A of the Shaffers was not taken

by Carla Noah Stutsman but by Larry Marx.

Also, in the Briar/Pelican Bay VFD story on Page 1A, the actual name of the state organization that volunteer departments can register with as First Responders is not the Texas Department of Health and Human Services but the Texas Department of State Health Services.

Area sales tax revenues remain strong by carla noah stutsman Texas Comptroller Susan Combs announced Wednesday, Dec. 10, that state sales tax revenue in November was $2.66 billion, up 10.7 percent compared to November 2013.

The sales tax figures represent October sales reported by monthly tax filers.

Locally, only the town of Lakeside and the city of Pelican Bay recorded decreased revenues for the month of December when compared with December 2013.

In the case of Lakeside, the loss – though it looks huge on the surface – really only represents a drop in the town’s sales tax bucket.

Lakeside’s December sales tax revenue of $10,911 is, indeed, 35.15 percent less than its December 2013 check for $16,826. But because of a voter-approved one percent sales tax rate increased passed in 2013 to offset property taxes, the town enjoyed near 100 percent monthly increases in revenues during calendar 2014.

In fact, December’s decrease still leaves the town of Lakeside’s total sales tax revenue for 2014 – $165,181 – a full 96.44 percent more than its 2013 total sales tax revenue of $84,084.

Pelican Bay is the only other local municipality to record a decrease in sales tax revenue for December.

The Bay’s December check for $1,551 is 6.64 percent less than its December 2013 check for $1,661. But for calendar 2014, the city’s total sales tax revenue of $19,086 is 1.34 percent higher than in calendar 2013, when it recorded $18,833 in total sales tax revenue.

Springtown saw the smallest increase – just 0.21 percent – for December among cities in the area, but it’s an increase nonetheless.

The city’s December revenue check is for $78,112, compared with December 2013 revenue of $77,942. Its total sales tax revenue for calendar 2014 is $924,921, up 3.12 percent from calendar 2013 revenues of $896,910.

The city of Azle received $170,482 for December, up

Azle News

Azle trio lauded as Rotary Club top students by mark k. campbell Three Azle High School seniors were acknowledged for their scholastic, extracurricular, and volunteer efforts at the Dec. 11 Azle Rotary Club meeting.

Haley Davidson, Bernadette Duhan, and Chris Caney received certificates commemorating the event.

Davidson has spent all four years at AHS as a cheerleader; she has been on the varsity squad for two years.

As a senior, she was selected as an All-American and has been invited by the Universal Cheer Association to become part of its staff.

Davidson takes part in Peer Assistance & Leadership (PALs) and has been a member of the National Honor Society (NHS) since her sophomore year.

She is well involved in church activities and has volunteered at Ronald McDonald House, the Community Caring Center, and nursing homes.

After graduating, Davidson hopes to become a physician’s assistant or school counselor.

Duhan wrestled three seasons with great success. This

year, she is the girls’ manager.

She has been a member of AHS’ elite and ultra-successful Math and Science Team since she was a sophomore. Duhan is also a member of the NHS and has been since tenth grade.

She has been active in Girl Scouts and has worked with the Azle Lions Club loading backpacks into buses and delivering them to schools.

Duhan hopes to continue her education after AHS and pursue an engineering degree, mechanical or architectural.

Caney was a Marching Green Pride member as a freshman and sophomore.

He has been part of the Robotics Team and has taken part in the renowned Math and Science Team competitions since his freshman year.

In sports, he is a member of the varsity soccer and swim teams at AHS. As a junior last year, Caney was part of a relay team that advanced to regional.

He has spent the last two summers as a lifeguard at the Northwest YMCA, the second as a swim instructor, too.

Caney listed mechanical or electrical engineer as postAHS education paths.

The December Rotary Students of the Month are (l-r) Haley Davidson, Chris Caney, and Bernadette Duhan.

Exodus: Plagues have natural explanations

Azle Chamber Christmas Party

n EXODUS, FROM PAGE 16A

staff for Moses, the natural explanation for the plagues, and no finger of God writing the 10 commandments.

The movie is boring in later stretches. And it doesn’t know when to end; some classic Bible stories concerning Moses are comically rushed over in the final 10 minutes.

Sigourney Weaver is barely in Exodus: Gods and Kings despite her fourth billing. She’s in just a couple of scenes. Moses’ brothers get short shift, too; their major Biblical roles are near invisible.

The Movie Man went out of his way to see the movie in 3-D and, except for a few shots, it wasn’t necessary.

The rating There’s a lot of warring early on and all those plagues with maggots, savage crocodiles, frogs, and even a shark attack that made Movie Wife giggle will look a little scary to some. The PG-13 is right.

Summing up You have to hand it to the major studios: Aside from trying to grab those religious moviegoers’ bucks, they’re having a go at the major Bible stories.

Too bad they’ve already been done better. It’s impossible to watch Exodus: Gods and Kings – and especially Bale, and not think of The Ten Commandments and Charlton Heston.

She beat rivals from Trinity, Randall, Del Valle, and Seven Lakes.

In the finals, Davis lost by fall to Luci Schement from Plano East.

Presenting the next great Christmas song

W

hile I was laid up at home with the flu last week – which explains why the paper was better than normal – I heard that Paul McCartney makes $400,000 annually off his perennial Christmas classic (or holiday horror, depending on who you ask) “Wonderful Christmas.”

When the Bride heard that, she figured I could still write while flu-ravaged. (When I got a nasal swab at the doctor’s office to see why I was sick, it didn’t take long to find out – the viruses actually spelled out “F-L-U A” on the stick before the nurse could even leave the room.)

So why not fire off a soon-to-be annual holiday classic, one that will be beloved by generations who will make

every one of my future Christmases much more financially merrier?

Here it is:

SANTA! SANTA!

This is the happiest time of the year!

Carols! Snow! And flying reindeer!

Then it gets even better on Christmas Eve. Isn’t that right – Sally, Johnny, and Steve?

Santa! Santa!

Yay! Yay! Yay! Santa! Santa!

Ho! Ho! Ho!

The time is near! The lights are up!

There’s yummy hot chocolate steaming in your cup!

Jolly St. Nick is loading up his

Do you see what I see?

HER: By the way, this isn’t the So always be good and keep making greatest time in America for a racist your bed!

Isn’t that right – Chang, Ezra, and song of any sort.

ME: It’s not racist! Santa loves children of all nationalities! They’re all getting a shout out! I didn’t hear that from Paul McCartney! This song reflects America’s ethnic make-up. It’s perfect!

HER: Well, how does it go?

ME: I’ll leave to tune to someone else.

And that’s where I stand on the next great Christmas song. I’m willing to give someone a chance to put these wonderful words to an unforgettable tune. Then we can split the $400,000 annually – my holiday present to some lucky arranger/scorer out there.

Because, truthfully, I’ve had too much Tamiflu to try to write any music.

There was an immediate uproar and debate about timing of release, content, blame, and should the report be released at all from both Congressional parties and the media.

I think that America should reflect deeply our ideals; there should be national debate, but I also feel that only one person on the national stage has life experiences that can address this issue: Senator John McCain (AZ-R).

He was a prisoner of North Vietnam during the war, was tortured, and through this experience only he (and others like him) can define America’s use of “enhanced interrogation techniques” as torture or not.

Senator McCain gave a floor statement on Dec. 9 after the release of the report. I am quoting passages of his words, not the entire statement. He reflects my opinion and his words need to be heard: “Mr. President, I rise in support of the release – the long delayed release – of the Senate Intelligence Committee’s summarized, unclassified review of the so-called “enhanced interrogation techniques” that were employed by the previous administration to extract information from captured terrorists. It is a thorough and thoughtful study of practices that I believe not only failed their purpose – to secure actionable intelligence to prevent further attacks on the U.S. and our allies – but actually damaged our security interests, as well as our reputation as

a force for good in the world.

“I believe the American people have the right – indeed a responsibility – to know what was done in their name: how these practices did or did not serve our interests; and how they comported with our most important values. “...They must know when the values that define our nation are intentionally disregarded by our security policies, even those policies that are conducted in secret…as I believe, they stained our national honor, did much harm and little practical good. “...The Committee has empowered the American people to come to their own decisions about whether we should have employed such practices in the past and whether we should consider permitting them in the future…

“I have long believed some of these practices amounted to torture...” “...I know from personal experience that the abuse of prisoners will produce more bad than good intelli-

gence… most of all, I know the use of torture compromises that which distinguishes us from our enemies, our belief that all people, even captured enemies, possess basic human rights, which are protected by international conventions the U.S. not only joined, but for the most part authored… “...obviously, we need intelligence to defeat our enemies, but we need reliable intelligence. Torture produces more misleading information than actionable intelligence” “Our enemies act without conscience. We must not.

“We need only remember in the worst of times, through the chaos and terror of war, when facing cruelty, suffering and loss, that we are always Americans, and different, stronger, and better than those who would destroy us.”

Book on phrases: some right and some Western ones wrong

I

recently found a book that tells how various expressions entered our vocabulary. The book was alphabetical with its terms and had no named author or editor. It is called Why Do We Say It?" and was published nearly three decades ago by Castle Books. I picked out as many Western terms as I could find. I already knew gun or hunting terms because my husband Kenneth taught me. A “flash in the pan” comes from shooting a flintlock rifle. A spark sets off the powder in a pan to send the lead ball out of the barrel. Some people flinch when the powder flashes, but Kenneth held very steady. The phrase now means something that's quick and then gone.

“Half-cocked” is when a gun is in a position where it can't be fired. The expression about a person “going off half-cocked” means that they rush into something not fully prepared and don't accomplish anything. Of course, the term “lock, stock and barrel” means the whole thing. With a metal lock with trigger, a piece of wood from which to shape a stock and with a

THE

metal barrel ordered from a supplier, a man had all the parts to put together a complete firearm.

The term “pan out” comes from the gold rush when prospectors would use a pan to dip sand, gravel and water, shake it out until the heavier stones – the gold– were all that remained in the pan. If it didn't “pan out”" that meant that no gold was left in the pan.

I disagreed with three of the explanations given in the book. It said that a “beaver hat” had nothing to do with beavers but meant the wearer lifted it off his head to use part of it to take a drink. It said the hat got the name from an Italian word “bevere” which meant “to drink.” My explanation is that French Canadian trappers and American ones set traps in Western streams to catch beavers to sell for their hides. A ready market on the east coast and in Europe brought a lot of money for the major fur companies (like John Jacob Astor's). The beaver trade lasted for about three decades (1810-1840) until tall, silk hats (like Abraham Lincoln wore) became the new fashion.

By then most of the beaver had been

trapped out of the mountain streams anyway.

The second phrase with which I disagreed was “Go West.”

The compiler of the terms for the book that PAGES FROM explained “Go West” was WESTERN used to mean “death.” Many HISTORY men who went J’Nell L. Pate west wanted to lose themselves because of committing a crime and needing to disappear. If they didn't die, they at least were difficult to locate. They “might as well be dead” so the term began to mean death. In a sense, I suppose that explanation could be true, but the famous expression “Go West, young man,” that inspired many honest, hardworking, crime-free men to seek their fortune

west of the Mississippi had a different origin. Horace Greeley, publisher of the New York Tribune, coined the phrase. He even financed a group of people to go to Colorado to found a settlement that is still in existence today: Greeley.

The third explanation that I believe is incorrect in the book is “Yellow Press.” The question leading into the answer given was, “How did the term ‘yellow press’ come to be applied to newspapers specializing in sensationalism?” The book's answer was that the newspapers in the late 19th century wrote sensational articles about the “Yellow Peril” of so many Japanese and Chinese coming to America.

I taught American History for 40 years, and our textbooks did not say that. The accurate explanation is that a couple of newspaper editors in New York City competed with one another by trying to outdo his opponent with sensational stories. The editors were William Randolph Hearst of the New York Journal" and Joseph Pulitzer of the New York World. What they sensationalized was a little uprising down

in Cuba against its mother country, Spain. Hearst even sent artist Frederic Remington down to make sensational drawings. Remington wrote back that he couldn't find a war to sketch.

Hearst ordered, “You send the pictures, I'll make the war.”

One of the main reasons for the Spanish-American War in 1898 were these sensationalized articles about Spanish brutality that both newspapers printed (which were copied all over the country by other papers).

The American public demanded war to free Cuba.

The reason it was called “yellow journalism” was that color comics had emerged. Hearst's newspaper used only one color – yellow – and splashed it on the dress of a cartoon character called “The Yellow Kid.” In my journalism courses at TCU we studied what Hearst and Pulitzer did with the message: report the news; don't make it!

Letters to the Editor Former officer defends police In response to Dec. 10 Letter to Editor “Police force broken”: I just about fell over backward when I read this letter.

The statement made that what worked 15-20 years ago is gone is DEAD ON! Now, let me explain why.

Twenty years ago people knew the difference between right and wrong. People respected each other. A handshake was good enough for an agreement to be carried out.

Twenty years ago when a child did something wrong, they usually got a spanking and when they thought about doing that thing again, they remembered that spanking and refrained from the temptation due to the consequences of doing wrong.

Twenty years ago people RESPECTED AUTHORITY! If you want to talk about what is gone talk about that!

Twenty years ago if a youth in the neighborhood did something wrong, the neighbors would straighten them out and then take them to their parents.

Now days the parents tell the neighbors to mind their own business.

Over 20 years ago is when I started my law enforcement career, so I know what I’m talking about. I have NEVER heard an officer talk about how they wanted to hurt/shoot/kill/ or beat someone. Doesn’t mean that didn’t happen if the scenario deemed it to the safety of the officers involved.

People talk about the police like they sit in their pre-shift briefings and talk about who they are going to abuse and mistreat. No, they talk about

going home at the end of the shift. They talk about their kids and their wives. They talk about the person they helped, and granted, occasionally about the wrestling match they had to have to get someone in custody.

They also talk about if everyone is wearing their BULLETPROOF VEST – aka, body armor because they want all their partners to be safe. They talk about their days at the range in case – God forbid – they have to use their weapon to PROTECT THEMSELVES. The criminal element on the other hand, they sit around and scheme up ways to steal from you, the public. They think of ways they can “roll” without being caught, or where they will score their next dope. They talk about the new weapons they have, and their weapons are attack weapons where law enforcement’s are DEFENSIVE WEAPONS. They sit around and smoke their dope and drink their beer and discuss who will be their next target so that whatever criminal activity they use against the target can finance their ability to sit around and do nothing while we work to obtain things for them to steal, tear up, and vandalize.

Law enforcement personnel do not go into law enforcement so they can shoot someone.

Then there is the moment when the young officers find out that they must join the police league or CLEAT or some other organization so they will have legal counsel in the event they are accused of some illegal or unethical action.

People categorize law enforcement with firefighters, and I am one of many who are glad to be in the company of so

many good men and women.

However, everyone loves the firefighter.

The firefighters are the “heroes” who save the day. They are the ones who run towards the burning building.

Well, so do the police. The firefighters go first because they have the tools to fight the fires.

But go on a domestic family violence situation where someone has been assaulted or shots have been fired. The firefighters stage in a safe area and wait for the law enforcement to eliminate the threat BEFORE the firefighters arrive. It should be that way: The police have the tools to go first. We work together as a group and as a team that way.

Difference is law enforcement is taxed with making it safe for everyone. Unfortunately for many, that includes making people unhappy.

People don’t like to be stopped for speeding, although it is unsafe and against the law; people don’t like to be stopped for defective equipment on vehicles, although it is unsafe and against the law; people don’t like to be inconvenienced no matter how long even if they match perfectly the description of a suspect who just burglarized their neighbor’s house.

It’s an I, I, I, I, me, me, me, me, I world.

It has been said that the officers are not being trained well enough, every officer on the street would agree with you.

Every one of them want more training and seek more training.

But guess what? Training costs money and evidently that means more to the people who delve out the tax money than the lawsuits they get from a lack thereof because training is a first line cut item nearly every

time.

Oversight is something you might want to try to experience for yourself. Go ride out with some law enforcement and see what they face and how they act.

There are bad apples in every barrel, no matter where the barrel comes from, no matter who stocked it, no matter who raised and handpicked them.

But when it comes to the police (pronounced poe – leece to us in the field), if you could weigh the difference between the good that they do, and the bad that the do, the bad wouldn’t even be enough to consider.

My best friend for 30 years was killed in the line of duty.

He was 37 years old, and he left behind a wife and two daughters. He was a good man. He had the people’s best interest in mind in all that he did pertaining to his job.

He would help anyone do anything, he always put others first, and I’m talking about the community not just other officers. He was the kind of officer you wanted as back up because you never had to wonder if he was going to help if you got into trouble. If you were fighting King Kong he would be right there with you. Most officers are like this.

Another issue that officers face today is liability. The liability issue always jumps into the equation, and is that officer going to help me if a fight starts, etc.

I hate that Eric Garner died, and I wasn’t in on the situation – none of us were. But one thing I can tell you, I have been choked before and, from firsthand knowledge, if you can’t breathe, you also CANNOT TALK. That’s all I’m going to

iel Pantaleo for the lawful arrest and subsequent death of a petty thief and career criminal, Eric Garner, Mr. Garner’s death was due in part by him – with cardiovascular disease, extreme obesity, and acute asthma while fighting with the police officer.

Once again, law enforcement has to put up with Monday morning quarterbacking and finger-pointing by pinheaded politicians of accusations of a cop gone rogue – along with the grand jury members cowering in fear of a small group of citizens who didn’t get their way.

To underscore this, race hustlers like Al Sharpton, Louis Farrakhan and Jesse Jackson are fast at work in their craft of fomenting hate.

Here it is: In the most festive and joyful time of the year in celebrating the birth of our Lord Jesus Christ and visiting retailers to buy gifts for loved ones and friends, we law-abiding citizens have to put up with these so-called protesters who are really out for their 15 minutes of fame on the news by deliberately disrupting traffic and pedestrians to the stores.

It is my firm belief that 99 percent of the American people still support the fine men and women who choose to go in harm’s way by wearing a badge.

The brave men and women who are cops, the crucible you face now may seem intractable, but the 99 percent have your back.

A big thank you for your service and keep up the good work.

say about that.

People want to see the police lose. All the police want is to do their job and go home at night.

If you will simply comply with the lawful requests of the law enforcement officer nothing deadly will happen.

If they violate your rights, protest it the right way, then you won’t look stupid. If the police are wrong, they are going to look stupid both ways and you win again.

Movie Man

Azle News Wednesday, December 17, 2014

New Exodus movie plagued by slow stretches It’s been quite a year for religious-based movies.

Hollywood’s big budget efforts did OK despite some big blow back from God-fearing audiences.

The smaller movies, however, were the ones that enjoyed more success.

About the film By the end of April, the Movie Man had already checked out a trio of religious movies.

First came Son of God (Movie Man No. 1077, 6), an extended version of an earlier successful TV series. It was decent.

Then came the controversial big-budget Hollywood spectacular directed by an auteur, Darren Aronofsky. Noah (MM #1081, 4) didn’t do it for the Movie Man or for plenty of other religious and secular folks. It reached the vaunted $100 million level that designates “success” – but just barely at $101.2 million (off a $125 million budget). Noah had its moments but just petered out as it went along.

By the end of April, the best of the religious-themed pictures came along, Heaven Is for Real (MM #1084, 6 – yes, Son of God was a 6, too, but there are varying degrees of weights in each number and Heaven Is for Real was closer to a 7, really). There were some sincerely moving scenes here and the message wasn’t so sledge hammered home that some moviegoers were not immediately turned off.

A late summer movie, When the Game Stands Tall (MM #1105, 5), also delivered its Christian points tactfully. Having a solid actor in the lead in Jim Caviezel helped a lot – just as Heaven Is for Real was boosted by Greg Kinnear. Unfortunately, When the Game Stands Tall was too plodding.

Now comes Exodus: Gods and Kings. (The Movie Man skipped God’s Not Dead, the Left Behind remake, and Kirk Cameron’s just released Sav-

It looks cool – and when the wave finally crashes, there’s a shot of too slow soldiers, weighted down with armor, floating and flailing helplessly into the depths along with chariots, horses, and weapons.

right at us?

What works (spoiler) The best thing in Exodus: Gods and Kings is the special effects. From “God’seye views” to sweeping shots through grimy alleyways, everything looks realistic.

The plagues look great – even if they are a tad far-fetched. Director Ridley Scott links all the plagues (except the last one) together as biological/natural occurrences. The first one of the Nile turning to blood occurs What doesn’t work Much like with Noah, Bible when crocodiles – lots and lots of them – kill so many fish and purists will find plenty to quibpeople that, indeed, the river ble about – like the lack of a runs red. And it looks like a meteor strike causes a tidal wave PLEASE SEE EXODUS, PAGE 7A. – the Red Sea recedes then returns big time.

The movie is pretty good early on, but it runs out of steam until that arrival at the Red Sea. Speaking of that…

Even though the last year has been eventful – with modeling opportunities and two films being released – Bruce’s focus remains grounded in family.

“The events I’m most looking forward to are some festive Christmas relaxation with friends and family and getting married to my fiancé [Jared Hall] this spring,” Bruce said. “He’s an illusionist. We’re basically the circus – I love it.”

Bruce is looking forward to the future and the changes that inevitably happen.

“I’ll be moving to Nashville this spring, and I’m really excited about that new and exciting chapter of life,” she said.

“It’s so full of dreamers and doers.”

In addition, Bruce has been working to revamp and relaunch her children’s ministry program.

“We rebranded and relaunched that area of my life, and I’m excited about shifting more attention to that again,” she said. “The acting

and modeling have been great and I think God will continue to use that in my life, but using creative arts in ministry and encouraging kids is really what makes me feel more fulfilled.”

Bruce noted that although there are several facets of entertaining she loves, the most fulfilling and rewarding thing is recognizing the impact it can have on people.

“Entertainment can make a powerful connection with people – we see both good and bad consequences of that,” she said. “Whether it’s standing on a stage with a puppet making somebody laugh, speaking words that plant seeds of change in listeners, or just sitting in a makeup chair encouraging somebody,

entertainment has the power to reach through our walls and touch the heart with its message.”

The Lord makes firm the steps of the one who delights in him; though he may stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with his hand. -Psalm 37:23-24
