This movie takes place in the World War II time period. It is based on the real life Tuskegee Airmen of the American Air Force. The film focus’ on the discrimination against African American fighter pilots in the American Air force. The African American fighters were thought to be inferior in intelligence and resourcefulness to whites. That they were physically unfit for duty and couldn’t control themselves in the face of danger. The movie more than proves that false. Continue Reading

In the last few months, two new additions have been welcomed into the West Central family. Kathryn Zita Bialas was born on November 27 to Becky Bialas, the choir teacher. Hudson Daniel Eye was born on December 29 to Danny Eye, the band teacher.

Kathryn was named after both of her grandmas, Kathryn and Zita. She weighed six pounds and eight ounces, and was measured at 20 1/2 inches long. Bialas has said that she isn’t a fussy baby, “She’s a good baby and slept for nine hours last night.” Bialas believes Kathryn will be a low alto because she has a low pitched cry.Contrary to that, she squeaks a lot like a high soprano. Unlike most babies, she hardly wakes up at night. She is about seven weeks old and is now starting to smile. When asked what she wants for her daughter, Bialas said she wants “Everything. I hope she likes to sing and becomes a doctor. I hope she’s really happy and that we can be good parents.”

Hudson was born six pounds and seven ounces, and measured at about 20 inches long. Other than his size, he is the opposite of Kathryn Bialas. When asked if he is fussy or quiet, all Eye could say is, “It’s been rough.”  Sleep is very rare for Hudson. He wakes abo

ut once every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. He didn’t come out marching as everyone had joked. His lower lip is curled, so he has, as Eye says, the embouchure, or mouth formation, of a saxophone player, but he also thinks with all the percussive instruments around his house that his son will be a drummer. Hudson’s name was originally going to be Harrison, but his parents feared people would call him “Harry Eye.”  It is a tradition in the Eye family for the firstborn son to take his father’s name as his middle name. He definitely was born with a sense of humor because at his baby picture photo shoot he urinated on the photographer and pooped all over the set. Eye added, “I hope he’s happy, healthy, and successful, whatever that may be.”
