S IX - Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, January 14,1998 Movie to be presented Sunday Grand reopening set at waterpark "The Ride”, a new dramatic film from World Wide Pictures, the motion picture ministry of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, will be show on Sunday, January 18, beginning at 6 p.m. at the Christian Life Center, 535 W. Morgan Street, Heppner. In the movie, Smokey Banks (Michael Biehn) has just been sentenced to community service and released into the custody of Mike Stillwell (Clarence Felder) and his wife, Ellen (Jennifer O'Neill), at the Saguaro Boys' Ranch. The former world champion bull rider has reached bottom, and now his only task is to teach 14-year-old Danny O'Neil (Brock Pierce) how to ride a bull. Smokey agrees to the conditions only because he doesn't want to stay m jail and face a long line of others waiting to get their hands on htm. He doesn't anticipate being so affected by young Danny's courage and determination to nde. Neither does he anticipate Linnette (Jennifer Blanc), Mike’s attractive and spirited niece. When Smokey learns that Danny is dying of cancer, he doesn't want to stick around to see it. He's become unexpectedly attached to his little sidekick and doesn't think he can face the reality of the boy's illness. He also doesn't think he can accept the God the Stillwells have shared with him ... a God who would allow something like this to happen to an innocent child like Danny. But, according to the movie news release, Smokey still has some things to leam about life— when to hold on and push through, when to let go and trust, and most of all, that God is someone who really can be trusted, despite how things appear on the surface. Everyone is invited to attend. For more information, contact Pastor Van Cleave at 676-5581.
