‘PRAIRIE’ AN EDUCATION BOOK WITH WIDE APPEAL At first glance, “Larry Saves the Prairie” (by Matt Bergles) appears to be a book for children. I have always found, though, that if you make a book something that appeals to adults as well as kids, you’ve hit your target audience, which is, well, everyone. This book will appeal to readers of all ages. I love the way this book lays out its concepts. It is straightforward, informative and doesn’t talk down to the reader or over-explain. It

REVIEW
meets readers at whatever level they are at and assumes
that information and a good story are what readers are looking for when they pick up a book. The concepts explained were keystone species (a term I’d never heard before, but found fascinating); other animals and how all species depend on one another to sustain their communities; the health of the prairie and
how we keep it that way; and myths that are prevalent regarding the prairie dog. I found it interesting to learn that in order to “fence” in a prairie dog community, you simply grow tall grass around it and the prairie dogs will not venture into that area or beyond because they can’t see over the grass to locate predators. Ultimately, the book is about Larry Haverfield’s fight to save his beloved prairie.
I showed this book to some neighborhood children and adults to get their reactions. The coloring pages at the back were a big hit, of course. Kids like books they can do a variety of things with, so reading and coloring go handin-hand. One of the older children liked the “how you can help” section and wanted to see how they could help out in their community with this project. The adults liked
this feature, too. Prairie dogs are a popular item here in Hutchinson, and folks want to get involved. If you have a child or adult who is hard to buy for, I’d recommend this book. It’s a great gift for all ages. To find out more about the book or to contact the author, check out this link: www.mattbergles. com. LYDIA LOWE Hutchinson

MUSIC, RAFFLES HIGHLIGHT CHARITY EVENT BY LYDIA LOWE
Concerts for the Cause held a benefit for First Call for Help of Reno County on Friday night at The Rusty Needle. Live music was provided by Colton Gartleman, Sean Story and Morgan Wilk. Throughout the night, folks were encouraged to sign up for the many raffle items on display. Colton started his set by singing a rousing rendition of “Blue on Black.” This got the crowd’s attention. He followed up with “Copperhead Road” and “Hurts So Good,” which Colton put his own twist on, in both the lyrics and music. I loved it! There also was “Old Time Rock and Roll,” “Rockin’ in the Free World” and “Mary Jane’s Last Dance.” In all, Gartleman played an amazing set of 13 songs. Incredible! Sean took to the stage next and started his set with “Wonderwall.” He also did his now-famous rendition of “Creep” as sung by Kermit the Frog – this was

a requested song – and even worked in a Christmas song, “Santa Claus is Coming to Town.” Sean sang en extensive set of over 11 songs. Throughout the night, the bucket was passed again and again for donations while the performers kept pumping up all the good that First Call does throughout the year for the Hutchinson community. Folks continued
buying chances to try to win a raffle item or two. The crowd came and went all evening and the bar was near capacity all night. Morgan took to the stage and Sean accompanied her, on either mandolin or guitar. She sang some cover tunes as well as original songs such as “Good Memories,” “My Own Pair of Wings,” “The Sunny
Side” (a crowd favorite) and “Kinda Like Mine” (about a favorite nephew). The cover tunes were “Hard Candy Christmas,” “Purple Rain” and “Freedom Isn’t Free.” As the evening drew to a close, the bucket was passed a last time and then it was time to draw the names of the raffle winners. Many merchants donated to the event to make the raffle possible. Thank-yous go out to Long’s (sweatshirts), Stutzman’s (poinsettias), Roy’s Hickory Pit Bar-B-Q (gift certificates), Sumo Creations (pen-made out of beautiful stone), Hastings (gift certificates), Bornholdt
Plantland (a hummingbird feeder and a planting kneeler), Outdoor Decor (pottery and yard art) and, of course, the shining star of the evening, Westphal Jewelers, which donated a ruby bracelet. Cindy M. won three times and took home that beautiful bracelet. First Call for Help of Reno County raised some muchneeded funds to finish out its year. This show was the final show for the 2015 season for Concerts for the Cause, but CFTC will return next year with more concerts benefiting great Hutchinson charities.

TRUE STORY OF SEA VOYAGE A WHALE OF A TALE
While I’m sure “no animals were injured during the making of this film,” it’s hard to grasp that because of the extremely realistic cinematography and staging of “In the Heart of the Sea.” Ron Howard has directed a string of excellent movies, including “Apollo 13,” but he
REVIEW
calls this probably his most challenging film. I hate to be overly critical of other reviews because everyone is entitled to their opinion, but The Associated Press’s account of “Heart” (printed in both
The Hutchinson News and Wichita Eagle) was among the worst and most unfair I’ve read for some time. I have no problem giving this Hutchinson Mall 8 showing a strong three and a half stars, especially for anyone liking sea adventures, plenty of action and a story based
on actual happenings. There was a real whaling expedition in 1820 that formed the basis for Herman Melville’s book “Moby-Dick.” “In the Heart of the Sea” does a sparkling job of re-creating that dramatic story, which involves men being lost at sea for 90 days after their ship, the Essex, was sunk by an unusually large whale. It is a fascinating tale of the ship captain’s privilege, his first mate who is the true sailor, gory details of processing whales for lighting and heating oil, and how some men managed to survive while others died and were eaten by others in order
to stay alive. Howard uses a writer interviewing the ship’s sole survivor who has never before told what really happened to set up and shepherd the story, another
indication of the director’s creativity. Much of the film was shot on lifeboats in the Canary Islands, and the intense drama along with underwater shots of sea life (especially when viewed in 3-D) are fascinating and about as real as you would ever want. Don’t let the poor ratings by some critics scare you away. Unless how the 1800s treatment of whales is disturbing or you have an aversion to realistic action scenes, “In the Heart of the Sea” is definitely worth checking out and I’m betting most audiences will like it.

‘GOOD DINOSAUR’ A GOOD MOVIE FOR THE FAMILY What would have happened to life on Earth if the meteor had completely missed our planet and dinosaurs had continued to rule? The movie “The Good Dinosaur” attempts to answer that question. Brontosauruses would become farmers, planting, tilling, watering and harvesting their crops. They’d build and live in barn-like structures, raise their children and live quiet lives. No surprises there; brontosauruses were plant eaters, peaceful creatures that lived in groups. This is how the movie begins. There’s a bit of a “Flintstones” twist as the members of the brontosaurus family adapt the
REVIEW environment to their needs. A stegosaurus appears in the film as a frightful-looking creature who does his best to camouflage himself and stay safe with the help of his friends who hang out on his many horns. I’d always heard that the stegosaurus was fierce, but not in this movie. He introduces his friends to Arlo, the good dinosaur, and tells Arlo what they do to help him. (All except for Debbie, the redbird, who seems to have no purpose except to look pretty. At one point she flies away and the stegosaurus goes chasing after her.) My favorite dinosaurs in
the movie were the family of Tyrannosaurus rexes. These dinosaurs were said to be fierce and dangerous, and they were in the movie, too. They were a cowboy family running a herd of longhorns that appeared to be woolly mammoths. At this point, the world has turned upside down. Nothing is what it appears to be. Then there is a boy named Spot, a quest to return home, what makes a family, and how important it is to do what you think is right, to help a friend even when you’re scared, and to be a good dinosaur. Adults and children will enjoy this movie equally because it’s full of action and adventure and will hold your interest. There was only one part of the film that I was a bit shocked by, and that was when Arlo and Spot came across some berries that had fermented and there were some brief scenes of being on a psychedelic high. The 6-year-old who was with me didn’t seem to pick up on it, but it shocked me that it was in a Disney film. If you need a family activity to do over the Christmas holidays, check this movie out. It’s great and will bring a tear to the eyes of adults and children alike. LYDIA LOWE Hutchinson

A NICE DARK CHRISTMAS FLICK
Krampus, a figure from European folklore with origins possibly stretching back to the days before Christianity, is essentially the evil twin of jolly Saint Nicholas and the antagonist of director Michael Dougherty’s dark 2015 Christmas flick, “Krampus.” The opening credits put the audience in a familiar setting with a montage of holiday shoppers kicking, screaming and fighting over half-priced merchandise at what looks like a “Black Friday” sale. The story then centers on Max (Emjay Anthony), a young boy who still believes in the true meaning of Christmas and longs for the days when family get-togethers were cheerful and fun, instead of a dysfunctional mess that everyone wants to avoid. As Max’s parents, Tom (Adam Scott) and Sarah (Toni Collette), Aunt Linda (Allison Tolman), Uncle Howard (David Koechner) and their little mouthbreathing merry bunch of kids are introduced, it becomes apparent that this family seriously needs a Christmas miracle. When Max’s plan to ask Santa to bring that miracle down the chimney fails, he loses
REVIEW
faith in the “reason for the season” and accidentally summons the Christmas demon, Krampus, to the family home.
Krampus does not work alone in his devious plan to give Max and his family a Christmas wake-up call. His team of evil gingerbread men, an extremely ugly angel head and a really cool-looking jack-in-the-box take their time in picking off each member one-by-one. And if you think that grandmother Omi (Krista Stadler) will be the flick’s final girl, just remember old ladies have dark secrets, too. For a good mixture of dark comedy, a little animated flashback and some holiday cheer, I would give this movie 3 and a half out of 5 stars. The extra half of the star is because the dog survives the movie. ANGELA HOLCOMB Hutchinson

AFTER 11 HILARIOUS YEARS, ‘THE SOUP’ FINISHES ITS RUN Television will be much less funny after Friday, Dec. 18, when “The Soup” airs its final episode at 9 p.m. on the E! network. “The Soup” is a spin-off of “Talk Soup,” a show that ran from 1991 to 2002 and featured hosts such as Greg Kinnear, Hal Sparks and Aisha Tyler. “The Soup” began in 2004 with host Joel McHale, who has stayed with the show its entire run and has always kept it funny and entertaining. The show follows a format similar to that of “Talk Soup”: Clips from various TV shows from the past week are replayed and mocked by the host and guest stars. Most episodes are divided into several different sections, such as “Chat Stew” (covering talk shows) and “Reality Show Clip Time” (covering reality
REVIEW
TV). Every episode also ended with the “Clip of the Week,” always introduced by Lou the Chihuahua, the show’s mascot. While this might not sound like the greatest premise for a show, believe me when I say
nothing has kept me entertained for over a decade like “The Soup” did. I’ve never needed to watch reality TV thanks to this show. They always took the time to pick out the best parts so you wouldn’t have to watch a full episode of boring reality shows to see the only entertaining 10 seconds of the whole show. With no DVDs of the past seasons for purchase and no streaming services that carry it, it will be hard to say how you’ll be able to watch the show after Friday night. Maybe someday there will be another show that makes me laugh as hard as “The Soup.” Until that time comes, my Friday nights will never be the same. Five out of five stars. ALEX KEEL Hutchinson

TONIGHT’S THIRD THURSDAY KICKS OFF FINAL PUSH OF CHRISTMAS ACTIVITIES AROUND CITY BY THE BEE STAFF
As of this (Third) Thursday, there is just one week left until Santa preps his team of reindeer to embark on his yearly ‘round-the-world deliveries. So celebrate the final countdown to Christmas with these festive affairs. It all starts during Thursday’s monthly festivities downtown. The Reno County Museum is offering free cookie decorating in its lobby from 5 to 7 p.m. You might just get inspiration for what to leave out for Santa. And, speaking of the big guy, he and the missus will be out at Bookends from 5:30 to 6:30 p.m. and at Smith’s Market from 7 to 8. They’ll fly back to town Saturday to meet with children at Memorial Hall from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. A live Nativity scene again will be featured on the grounds outside the Eagle
3
Communications Media Center from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday. That’s accompanied by a holiday lights bus tour. At the Artlandia gallery, 9 W. Ave. B, grab your most garish garb and participate in the Third Thursday ugly or most creative sweater contest. Buy it or make it; it’s up to you. Prizes will be awarded for first and second place in each category. The Hutchinson/Reno Arts and Humanities Council also will hold its annual holiday party on Thursday night at 7. County Commissioner Dan Deming will give his yearly reading of “Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus,” and HRAH board president Andrea Springer will recount the Nativity story. Cider and Christmas punch will be provided as guests listen to music by Jim French, area piano students, the Hutchinson Municipal Band Quintet, the Jim
Fetters jazz combo and the gospel group Saints Alive. More information about the event, which is free to the public, is available by calling (620) 662-1280. On Friday, support residents in need while listening to live music during Hope for the Holidays, starting at 6:30 p.m. inside Artlandia. Donations of toys, clothing, nonperishable food and money will be collected. A collaboration between New Beginnings and music promotion company Signature Sound Entertainment, the event will benefit a local family with a 2-year-old girl and a 10-year-old boy. Santa will be present, and guests will be served hot chocolate and snacks. Music will come courtesy of Brian Davis, Colton Gartleman, Krista Lundemo, Sean Story and Bob Colladay. Saturday will see the return of free gingerbread house decorating from

HUTCH STUDENTS IN WORLD DEBUT OF NEW MUSICAL BY RYAN CHRISTNER
CAST LIST
Kansas Thespians Proudly Presents
For The Bee
ryanc@hutchnews.com After nearly a year’s wait, Isaac Glover and Mariah Michaelis will have the chance to show off the fruits of their labor. The Hutchinson High School seniors are among nearly two dozen Kansas students selected to participate in this weekend’s world premiere of a new two-act adaptation of Roald Dahl’s “James and the Giant Peach.” Spots were earned through auditions last January at the state theater conference organized by Kansas Thespians. The cast gathered in Overland Park – where the musical will be performed Saturday and Sunday at Blue Valley Southwest High School – on weekends early in the year before reconvening for a week in August to run through the show. But that was their only in-person interaction before meeting up again this past weekend for a few final technical rehearsals. “It’s definitely a challenge for us,” Michaelis said of the unconventional practice schedule, which has been sandwiched around productions at the students’ own schools. If there are any concerns about rust, however, they’re coming from outside of the group. “I think it’s more fresh in our minds than we think,” Glover said. “It’s like riding a bike, kind of.” Co-director Max Brown said copies of the script and musical numbers were passed out to be worked on from home with the students’ vocal teachers. Videos of dance choreography also were posted on Facebook for easy

viewing. “Modern technology is helpful in that regard,” said Brown, a former regional director and current board member with Kansas Thespians who also serves as the theater instructor at Blue Valley North High School. He shares directing duties with Dan Schmidt, his counterpart at Blue Valley Southwest. Cast and crew also stayed in touch over the months through social media, occasionally leaning on one another for help associated with the show, but more often getting to know each other and develop friendships. “We all became, like, this family, I would put it,” Michaelis said. Around 60 students auditioned for the 23 open spots in the musical. “We have a lot of talented kids in Kansas, and I mean a lot of talented kids,” Brown said. “We took the best of the best. They actually
had some very stiff competition from across the state. The cream rises to the top.” The door that has been opened for Glover, Michaelis and their peers is a direct result of Brown’s belief in the quality of the state’s young performers. With the thought of putting on the first allstate production in 25 years – the last came in 1990 under the direction of Hutchinson Community College’s Bill Brewer – Brown began contacting licensing companies to see if anyone had a show they were looking to try out in a high school setting. As it so happened, New York City-based Music Theatre International had just what he was looking for in the new Dahl creation. “I said, ‘Great. We’ll take it,’ ” Brown said. “We are the first group of high school kids to get to do it.” “James and the Giant Peach” features a score by the composing
duo of Justin Paul and Benj Pasek, whose “A Christmas Story: The Musical” received multiple Tony nominations. As in the classic children’s tale, the musical surrounds James Henry Trotter, an orphaned youth who lives with his cruel aunts, Spiker and Sponge. His fortunes improve with the discovery of a book of magic potions. Upon mixing one of the brews, James promptly spills it on a nearby peach tree he’s been ordered to chop down. The resulting growth of a gargantuan bloom arouses the aunts’ ravenous greed, and James is put on guard duty. But that’s when he discovers a doorknob protruding from the peach. Behind it, a tunnel leads to the fruit’s cavernous center, in which there lives a colorful assemblage of man-sized creatures: a centipede, earthworm, grasshopper, ladybug and spider.
WHAT: “James and the Giant Peach” world premiere WHEN: 2 and 7 p.m. Saturday, 2 p.m. Sunday WHERE: Blue Valley Southwest High School, 17600 Quivira Road, Overland Park COST: $10-$25 Tickets are available at www. kansasthespians.com. When the peach breaks free from its branch and tumbles into the ocean, it sets off a journey that binds the passengers together. “It’s a really beautiful story about family, believing in yourself and overcoming obstacles,” Glover said. Glover is part of the ensemble and plays a mixed bag of roles, including a rich man, a shark and a misshapen creature. Michaelis is one of two cast members tasked with operating all the technical details that have been set up by a professional production staff. A group from Music Theatre International is scheduled to attend this weekend’s performances to look for things they may want to tweak before marketing the show to the public, Brown said. The Kansas troupe will present it again next month at the Kansas Thespian Conference, where it will be adjudicated for the International Thespian Festival in Nebraska. “You should definitely go and check it out,” Glover said. “There’s a lot of talent that people don’t know about.”
‘STAR WARS’ HERALDED THE BLOCKBUSTER, CASTS LONG SHADOW BY JAKE COYLE
IF YOU GO
AP Film Writer
NEW YORK – Long before I was a movie writer and critic, I was a teenager driving up the Garden State Parkway in a Storm Trooper helmet, inquiring toll booth attendants if they had seen two droids. I don’t know what this means for my relationship with “Star Wars” and the coming sequel, “The Force Awakens,” which is some mix of boyish excitement and adult despair. I do know that it’s difficult to operate a stick shift with a Storm Trooper helmet on and that New Jersey toll booth attendants are a hard bunch to faze. As “The Force Awakens” makes its way into theaters, moviegoers and critics of generations old and young will again have to wrestle with a cultural force as colossal as the Death Star, whose cinematic firepower is alternatively seen as the vile source to today’s franchise-mad blockbuster-crazy Hollywood or the ultimate expression of a glorious movie passion that spans time, galaxies and dreadfully disappointing prequels. For a fairly impersonal epic of corny characters, “Star Wars” inspires curiously personal reactions. It drives some people to don Wookie costumes and others to curse an entire industry as infantile. Since the 1977 debut of “A New Hope,” it’s
“Star Wars: The Force Awakens” opens 7 tonight at the Hutchinson Mall 8 theater. See Page 9 for showtimes.

Critic Glenn Kenny
become a generational rite of passage not just to experience the saga, but also to form one’s relationship with movies around it, whether in happy lockstep or rebel opposition.
“‘Star Wars’ made, and changed, movie and cultural history, and anybody who wants to make sense of either has to take it on,” wrote critic Glenn Kenny in “A Galaxy Not So Far Away: Writers and Artists on Twenty-Five Years of Star War.” “Star Wars” didn’t, by itself, change movies. But more than any other film, it heralded the blockbuster era that would follow the maverick filmmaking of the ’70s – a continuing chapter in movies that swells with every new superhero movie. Lucas, himself, straddled the divide he came to be the poster boy of. Coming off
the success of “American Graffiti,” which he wrote, his pal Francis Ford Coppola wanted him to direct “Apocalypse Now.” (Take a moment to contemplate THAT parallel universe.) Lucas was instead busy with his script for “Star Wars,” a project that few expected much of and that Universal Studios passed on before 20th Century Fox paid Lucas to develop it. But to the astonishment of everyone, including Lucas (who fortuitously negotiated for the sequel and merchandising rights), the movie he called “’The Sting’ in outer space’” was a smash
that was still No. 1 at the box office more than 40 weeks after opening. Many critics watched its rise warily. Pauline Kael called the movie “a box of Cracker Jacks which is all prizes.” John Simon fretted: “O dull new world!” All the profits fueled the multiplexes erected through the 1980s. Their walls would blare with Lucas’ own sound system, THX, and play countless action sequences designed by Lucas’ effects house, Industrial Light and Magic. Many of the forces Lucas unlocked – the merchandizing power, the franchise building, the super-fandom – now define the modern movie business. Paul Schrader, writer of 1976’s “Taxi Driver” and 1980’s “Raging Bull,” once called “Star Wars” ‘’the film that ate the heart and soul of Hollywood.” “Star Wars,” though, was part of a broader and perhaps unstoppable trend. It followed James Bond films and Steven Spielberg’s “Jaws” (the first movie to open in wide release). “Superman: The Movie” arrived the year after. “The Force Awakens”
now finds itself in a more competitive blockbuster environment, just one of the prime assets in the stable of the Walt Disney Co., which purchased Lucasfilm for $4.05 billion – a fitting home for “Star Wars” considering Lucas considered it “a Disney movie.” Inheriting Lucas’ empire, director J.J. Abrams – one of those kids transfixed by “Star Wars,” now grown up – isn’t trying to redefine moviegoing. His “The Force Awakens” is more like a restoration project: a blend of new and old; old-school special effects with a more diverse cast. Alongside the old guard of Han Solo and Luke Skywalker, the new characters are effectively stand-ins for new fans. “It was the idea of what would this new generation be, given that they were standing on the shoulders of characters we knew from years earlier,” Abrams said in an earlier interview. “How their history is the history that we know.” “Star Wars” ultimately belongs to the young. The saga’s new chapter will be written by a franchise-savvy generation of moviegoers who can pre-order tickets without standing in line, and critics who grew up in the shadow of “Star Wars” – some of whom even know how fast Han Solo can make the Kessel Run. “12 parsecs!” exclaims this one, with more pride than shame.
