King talks water, Medicaid, quakes 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?

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 The state’s economy Kidding aside and despite the tight limited government and businesses economy, King assured those assem- have a certainty in regulations, a low bled that Texas is doing very well eco- tax base, a fair court system, and an educated workforce, people will find nomically.

BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN On the heels of a pair of lunchtime tremors, the third earthquake that occurred Tuesday, Nov. 19 about 6:40 p.m. was the largest recorded since the shaking began Nov. 5. At 11:57 a.m. Tuesday, a 2.5 magnitude quake was recorded about a mile west of Reno. It was followed at 12:03 p.m. – six minutes later – with a 2.8 magnitude shaker one-half mile south of the city of Sanctuary. But even “veteran” quakers – those who have felt the majority of the quakes over these last two weeks – said there is no doubt the 3.6 magnitude quake that shook the area was the strongest so far. It was followed by a 2.2 magnitude tremor at 11:57 p.m. Wednesday, Nov. 20 centered 0.28 miles south of the intersection of Rhoades Lane and Charles Avenue in the Eagle Mountain View Addition off Sandy Beach Road. The location of that particular quake is also about one-half mile northeast of Azle High School. As of press time Friday, Nov. 22,

the United States Geological Survey (USGS) had recorded 12 earthquakes in North Texas since Nov. 5. All have occurred within about a 7.5-mile radius that includes the Azle, Reno, Sanctuary, Pelican Bay and Azle areas. Two of the tremors occurred just east of Eagle Mountain Lake – one near Haslet and one near East Peden Road near Saginaw. Many people in the area blame the fracturing process utilized by the oil and gas drilling industry – commonly called “fracking” – for the quakes. TCU prof weighs in But Helge Alsleben, associate professor of geology at Texas Christian University, says the fracturing process itself – which breaks up the rocky subsurface – usually causes micro-earthquakes that are very, very minute. While the earthquakes experienced in the area have all been relatively weak, especially when compared with tremblers on the West Coast, they are much stronger than those caused by PLEASE SEE SHAKEDOWN, PAGE 2A.

Social media rumbled too when the earthquakes hit. On Facebook, some posters said they felt it from Outreach of Love church all the way to River Oaks and around Eagle Mountain Lake. They said the quakes were “a strong rumble” and “like someone had run into the house!” Another person noted that it was like a straight line wind smashing into the front of the house. One reported that a clock fell off the wall in their house and another said she had cracks in her wall now. People felt it in Briar, Saginaw, and Springtown, in Keller, Boyd, and I-35 and Western Center Blvd. Also on Knob Hill Road, Eagle Mountain View housing edition, Redbud, Liberty School Road, North Stewart Street, Veal Station Road, Oak Harbor, and at the Azle Library where the book club meeting was breaking up. Cresia O’Donald said, “I was in the B.J. Clark Building with my three kids for their karate class when we felt the whole place shake.” Mary Johnson noted that Duane Johnson said, “Wow, I thought something hit the house!” Priscilla Drew said she was in bed typing on her laptop when her house began to shake “like it had landed on a spring.” All that social activity came from a 3.6 magnitude earthquake. Imagine the cyber-hubbub if we get a bigger one…

AISD leads in tech, academics Azle schools show Region 11 ‘what it looks like’ BY CARLA NOAH STUTSMAN Sometimes it’s the city. Sometimes it’s the schools. Sometimes it’s the people. Sometimes it seems Azle just gets a bad rap for a lot of things. Most often, the negativity comes from people who may not necessarily have all the facts. But there are some people talking about Azle who know exactly what they’re talking about, and the talk is nothing but good. On Friday, Nov. 15, two classrooms in the Azle Independent School District (AISD) were “wired for sound” in order to present their lessons to the entire staff at the Region 11 Education Service Center (ESC11) in Fort Worth. Two AISD teachers – Amy Tong, a fourth grade teacher at Walnut Creek Elementary and Misty White, who teaches seventh grade science at Forte Junior High – were asked to teach their regular classes for the day. What happened next astounded the Region 11 staff. Teela Watson, Director of Digital

Learning for ESC11, explained that, through the use of current technology, a small camera was hung from the ceiling in a room at ESC11 where its staff of 150 – everyone from secretaries to the executive director – had gathered to watch and participate in the live, twoway audio-visual conference. “We service 77 school districts, from the Fort Worth ISD all the way to sixman football-size districts, and we are in and out of those districts every day,” Watson said. “What this (Azle) district is doing is nothing short of amazing, and it’s so exciting to see.” Watson said many on staff at ESC11 possess Masters degrees and even doctorate degrees, and almost all have backgrounds as building leaders and/or curriculum people. “For many of us, that means we really don’t get to see kids anymore,” Watson said. “That’s why we wanted them to see an example of top notch teaching and learning in classrooms.” When AISD Curriculum Director Tanya Anderson learned what ESC11 was looking for, she told Watson there

were a couple of teachers in Azle she ought to consider. “I didn’t hesitate, and there was no reason to preview the classes,” Watson said. “Because in our world, Azle is known as ‘excellence in academics.’” When the teaching began, the ESC11 staff had a bird’s eye view into Azle’s classrooms. They watched a 25 minute lesson, took a 20-minute break, and then viewed a second lesson. Amy Tong’s fourth graders are learning about the explorers who sailed in search of the New World. “She (Tong) was not standing in front of them lecturing – her students were paired up, creating and working,” Watson said. “They knew exactly what their goal was.” One boy was using an application called MineCraft to create replicas of the ships the explorers sailed on. When he was asked by an ESC11 staffer, during the live conference, how that technology helped him learn about the explorers, he replied “It helped me understand if these ships hadn’t been PLEASE SEE ACADEMICS, PAGE 3A.

Two Wheeled Trouble

Wednesday, Nov. 20 proved to be not the best of days for motorcycle riders in Azle. A woman was injured when she laid her bike down in the 900 block of Boyd Road just after 5 p.m. At 9:05 p.m., a 22-year-old man refused transport to a hospital after the motorcycle he was riding struck a large dog in the 600 block of SH 199 eastbound. The bike caught fire and burned an 80-foot strip of grass beside the highway. The dog was pronounced dead at the scene. Photo by Carla Noah Stutsman

fracking, Alsleben said. Alsleben insists there is no definitive answer to the question of what is causing these particular events. Much more likely than the fracturing process, though, is the re-injection of the waste water used in fracking back into the earth, Alsleben said. “The re-injection of waste water is a long-known issue that potentially can cause earthquakes,” Alsleben said. “I’m not saying that is the case here, but it can definitely produce a seismic event.” Alsleben also pointed to something many people may not realize related to the depth of the earthquakes. “As we get away from the earthquake-prone zones and further east of the Rocky Mountains, the seismic network that detects activity is not well established and has very poor resolution,” Alsleben said. “That makes it difficult to determine the depth of these events. When the USGS says the depth is 5 kilometers (about 2.5 miles) it is using a default depth,” he said. In other words, no one really knows how deep below the

earth’s surface the quakes are originating. Quake insurance? Longtime Azle area independent insurance broker Hogye Hogle is concerned about the earthquakes – he and his wife have felt most of them at their home – but from another perspective. “This is all new, but we are getting calls asking about earthquake coverage,” Hogle said Wednesday. “As far as I know, there’s not a homeowner’s policy in Texas that covers earth movement.” There are some insurance companies that will allow such coverage as an endorsement, and others that won’t, Hogle This map details the magnitudes of the recent earthquakes in the local area. said. “If the quakes continue, and we start seeing damage as a result, I could foresee a time when mortgage companies might begin requiring earthquake coverage,” Hogle said. “It would be similar to the requirement for flood insurance for people in flood zones.” As of now, Hogle is looking for a company that will write a standalone earthquake policy so he can better serve his clients.

to the public, as well. And, by the way, ESC11 staffers rated the conference as one of its best ever, and several indicated they’d like to see more like it. If you’d like to see them, as well, here are two separate links – the first is for Amy Tong’s fourth grade class conference: https://www.dropbox.com/ sh/39ugh3zhf87bhbr/JK_GeIGJT?lst#lh:null-Azle%20-%20 4th.m4v and the second for Misty White’s seventh grade science class conference at https://www.dropbox.com/ sh/39ugh3zhf87bhbr/JK_GeIGJT?n=95834791#lh:nullAzle%20-%207th.m4v. “So many of our teachers tell us they have read about using the latest technology, such as iPads, in the classroom and are willing to learn how,” Watson

said. “But they also ask us what it looks like – Azle ISD has given us what that looks like in a classroom.” The staff at ESC11 is now asking all its districts to come forward with their “bright and shining star teachers” to be videotaped utilizing the latest technology in order to build a repository of “what it looks like,” Watson said. She said one of the teachers named eight to 10 apps her students were using, and told staffers at ESC11 that while she is not an expert, she knows her students are. “She didn’t have to teach them the apps, she just put it in her students’ hands and they figured them out on their own,” Watson said. “This technology makes it so much easier to meet the needs

of every individual child.” The AISD’s iPad initiative, which culminated at the beginning of this school year with the issuance of an iPad to every student in grades 7-12, is clearly proving to be a groundbreaking step in the advancement of edu-

cation, both in Azle and in the state of Texas. “I can’t imagine any district producing teaching and learning that is any better than what we saw in the Azle ISD’s live video conference,” Watson said. How’s that for a rap?

ing mix, and cranberry sauce to the pantry Monday, Nov. 18. Some of the students and their parents remained on site to help distribute all the food to 110 families that evening from 4-6 p.m. AJH faculty and students also donated more than $250 cash in addition to the food. Inasmuch Food Pantry is partnered with the Tarrant Area Food Bank where the pantry

may purchase food for 18 cents per pound. Inasmuch is located at the Eagle Mountain United Methodist Church on Reed Road. Food is distributed to folks from a three-county area without restriction at least two Mondays each month. For more information, contact director Sue Miller, 817 444 2303.

Water, quakes and Medicaid highlighted by King ■ WATER, FROM PAGE ONE.

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 accommodate our population to no avail.

regarding water supply. In 1995 the state legislature passed the State Water Plan. The problem is the plan was never funded. King said the reason behind this issue is probably because most of the votes in the House of Representatives are urban votes and water availability doesn’t rank as highly for them as it does for their rural colleagues. “The only good thing about this drought is that it has finally gotten people focused on water.” King said. The legislature took $2 billion from the rainy day fund and put it into what they call “an infrastructure bank.” This is a revolving fund for communities and regional projects. “These funds can be borWater King addressed Proposition 6 rowed for the construction of This public pension plan is the largest in the state and one of the biggest in the country. He said 1-in-20 people in Texas are members of the program. At the beginning of the session this year the pension plan was $26 billion in the red, and would not ever be “actuarially sound” unless changes were made. King said the legislature worked with unions, teachers’ groups, and retirees to make the necessary changes so the program would be sound. He noted that no state has ever done anything like this before. Additionally, a small business tax cut of about $710 million, and a true permanent tax exemption for the first $1 million for franchises were passed.

projects at either no or very, very low interest,” King said. “The fact that this is a revolving fund will translate into $27 billion of funding for water over the next 20 years.” This literally takes water off the table as an item in front of the legislature for at least the next 10-15 years, King said. Transportation The legislator said a Transportation Infrastructure Fund is 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

citations have remained constant. The majority of the speeding tickets are issued on East Reno Rd to drivers who are using it as a shortcut between FM 730 and Highway 199.

Masons hand out dental health kits to first graders Nearly 300 first graders at Liberty, Cross Timbers and Eagle Heights Elementary Schools in the Azle Independent School District recently received free tooth decay prevention kits through the Fantastic Teeth Fan Club. Members of Azle Masonic Lodge, led by Doug Burt, assembled and delivered the kits to the schools. The Fantastic Teeth Fan Club, sponsored by Masonic Home and School of Texas, strives to prevent suffering from toothaches, reduce missed school days due to dental problems, and cut costs for dental treatment. Prevent tooth decay kits

contain a toothbrush, toothpaste, dental floss, healthy teeth sticker, two-minute timer (optimal brushing time), Tips for Healthy Teeth educational info for parents in both Spanish and English, and a summary of MHS services. According to Oral Health In America: A Report of the Surgeon General, tooth decay is the single most common chronic childhood disease – five times more common than asthma and seven times more common than hay fever. Poor children are affected by this epidemic more frequently than other children, with nearly 12 times more

restricted-activity days due to dental issues than children from higher-income families. With more than 1.5 million Texas children living in poverty, there is a great need for preventive dental care. Dental problems also directly affect success for children, with more than 51 million school hours lost each year to dental-related illness. Teachers have judged both classroom performance and classroom behavior to be significantly poorer among children in need of dental care. Pain and suffering due to untreated dental disease can also lead to problems in eating and speaking.

Bon mots to wow everyone with this Thanksgiving

henever I hear or read something that I think is profound or cool, I write it down in my phone’s note section. Here are this year’s: Everything great starts out scary. – the movie Warm Bodies Give a lot to get a lot. – a church sermon last February Make people feel something more than they understand. – Ernest Hemingway, A Moveable Feast We are mortal but poetry is not. – some PBS special The only thing standing between me and greatness is me. – Woody Allen

Challenge the laws of chance. – – church R.E.M.’s “All the Way to Reno” There are Be intrepid. – the movie Hugo no pockets on We live in deeds, not years. – written a shroud. – on a Union soldier’s canteen on AnSpanish provtiques Roadshow erb When the vision is strong, facts “No” is don’t matter. – church last April one of the few God’s justice won’t sleep forever. – words that can Thomas Jefferson never be misGreat moments in our lives do not understood. – return. – National Park series, PBS ON YOUR some inspiraBe zealous for good deeds. – Titus tional book MARK 2:14 most Sometimes we must lessen the blow Mark K. Campbell The valuable gift by degrees. – the Dowager Countess you can give on Downton Abbey We try hard to be accepted instead another is a good example. – also that

book I think Smithers picked me because of my motivational skills. Everyone says they have to work a lot harder when I’m around. – Homer J. Simpson Kids are a handful; teens are a heartful. – small group at church Don’t be so heavenly minded that you’re no earthly good. – church sermon Outlive your life. – unknown Time loves to be wasted. – Henry Ford And now these three remain: faith, hope and love.

show I rest. God blessed. – some oldtimey PBS program When in doubt, dress up. – some lifestyle show The eye of faith is necessary to see past woe. – church Finally, I really like the final words on the last studio Beatles album (well, if you don’t count the novelty song “Her Majesty” [the first real “bonus” song ever]), “The End” on Abbey Road: And in the end, the love you take is equal to the love you make. Mark K. Campbell is the News editor and always plays “The End” REALLY LOUD!

Thanks for the thorns

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.

Burma-Shave jingles thrilled travelers for five decades

he big billboards with varying comments from two cows promoting Chick-fil-A that have been seen recently remind me of a similar advertising campaign: Burma-Shave. Only folks in their late fifties or older will remember those small red and white signs with rhyming jingles that travelers enjoyed reading along the highways for nearly five decades (mid 1920s to mid 1960s). When the Interstate highways came along with faster travel, the little signs in farmers pastures were more difficult to read. Also, it became harder for the company to maintain the signs. If one of the five or six signs fell down (or was stolen by a college student for his dorm room, which happened), the effect of the jingle was lost. Sales also declined, so in 1963 the Burma-Shave Company sold out to Phillip Morris who had an American Razor division. The new company's lawyer advised that the small signs be discontinued, perhaps for fear someone would have

an accident trying to read them and sue! While the signs were not really a Western phenomenon, having started in Minnesota, they began to spread, starting in the Midwest. Texas is certainly west, and that's where I saw the signs as a kid traveling with my parents. Everything has a “people” story, and so does Burma-Shave. It began with a Minnesota insurance salesman named Clinton Odell who had retired because of his health. Like some folks, he felt restless and had to do something. In the early 1920s he heard of a formula for liniment from a sea captain and began to manufacture it. Supposedly, the necessary oils for it came from Burma and the Malay Peninsula. He therefore named his company, Burma Vita, the latter term meaning “life” or vigor.” The liniment helped folks pain, but it did not smell very good or sell well either. Odell had traveled a lot selling insurance and had found an English product, a brushless shaving cream that he liked because the user would no longer need soap and a brush

that sometimes became mildewed anyway. (Younger readers, this all happened before electric razors!) Odell decided to market the brushless shaving cream. Since his company PAGES FROM already was BurmaWESTERN called Vita, he just HISTORY changed it to J’Nell L. Pate Burma-Shave. Sales didn't start out very well until one of Odell's sons, Allan, saw several signs in a series on a road and convinced his father to try the same thing. They rented space from farmers. Early signs only advertised the product, but later ones gave safety messages, and then funny jingles. Examples are: Use this cream/A day

/Or two/Then don't call her/ She'll call you/Burma-Shave" And: "Said farmer Brown/Who's bald on top/Wish I could/Rotate the crop/Burma-Shave. And: Listen birds/These signs cost/ Money/So roost a while/But don't get funny/Burma-Shave. Even during the 1930s Great Depression, Burma-Shave sales kept growing. At a peak the company had over 7,000 sets of signs in 45 states. The individual signs were at good reading distance, about 100 feet apart, bolted to secure fence-high iron or wooden posts. Souvenir hunters stole them, but farmers helped protect them to keep that rent money. The company held jingle contests, paying winners $100 for each one they used. They changed the signs each year to keep the public watching (and buying). Allan Odell's favorite was: Within this vale/Of toil and sin/Your head grows bald/But not your chin/BurmaShave. Others are: Hardly a driver/Is now

alive/Who passed/On hills/At 75/Burma-Shave. Past/Schoolhouses/Take it slow/Let the little/Shavers/Grow/Burma-Shave. Is he lonesome/Or just blind/This guy who/Drives/So close behind/Burma-Shave. A set of Burma-Shave signs resides in the Smithsonian Institution in Washington, D. C. to preserve this part of American culture. The American Safety Razor company reintroduced Burma-Shave in 1997 and sold it with a shaving brush and soap kit. I tried to find Burma-Shave in the grocery store the other day and even asked the manager to see if he could order it, but he couldn't. I hope those Chick-fil-A cows keep up their funny signs, but they still will remind me of the Burma-Shave ones. One for the road: If daisies/Are your/Favorite flower/Keep pushin' up those/Miles-per-hour/Burma-Shave.

20th week of gestation. AG praises agreement Attorney General Abbott on Nov. 12 lauded an agreement reached by American Airlines and U.S. Airways expanding the requirement that American maintain daily flight services to Texas communities from three years to five years. Abbott also praised the fact that Texarkana was added to the daily service commitment list. Abbott negotiated an agreement with American on Oct. 1, to ensure that 22 airports across the state would continue to offer daily departures and arrivals. The original agreement also guaranteed that Dallas/Fort Worth International Airport would remain a hub and the headquarters of the merged entities would remain in the DFW metropolitan area, according to a statement by Abbott’s office. Job numbers increase Texas added 43,800 jobs over the last two months, reflecting an improvement in overall job figures. In a Nov. 22 statement by the Texas Workforce Commission, the seasonally adjusted unemployment rate in Texas fell to 6.2 percent in October, down from 6.3 percent in September, a point below the national unemployment rate of 7.3 percent for the same month.

“The private sector in Texas recorded a strong annual growth rate of 2.9 percent in October, adding nearly 265,000 jobs over the year,” said Texas Workforce Commission Chairman Andres Alcantar. “We encourage job seekers, in particular our returning veterans, to visit their local Workforce Solutions office for assistance in finding work.” “The Texas economy continues to move forward, with every major industry in the state showing positive growth over the last year,” said TWC Commissioner Hope Andrade. 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. Veteran state reporter and legislative analyst Ed Sterling is member services director for the Texas Press Association, whose 518 member newspapers have combined circulation of 3.7 million.

Movie Man

Wednesday, November 27, 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.

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.

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. Times and contact information can be found at www.griefshare. org. “Life is eternal, and love is immortal, and death is only a horizon; and a horizon is nothing save the limit of our sight.” ~Rossiter Worthington Raymond
