You’ ve probably noticed that it’ s getting darker and earlier every day. Recently, coming home from dinner one night with my wife, we
KELLS noticed two individuals walking along French
Prairie while it was completely dark out and they both happened to be wearing dark clothes. Please wear light colored, reflective clothing and use flashlights. Also please walk in the slow lane facing traffic. We don’ t want to see anyone get hurt.

“ The Only Woman in the Room” by Marie Benedict. Hedy Kiesler is lucky. Her beauty leads to a starring role in a controversial film and marriage to a powerful Austrian arms dealer, allowing her to evade Nazi persecution despite her Jewish heritage. But Hedy is also intelligent. At lavish Vienna dinner parties, she overhears the Third Reich’ s plans. One night in 1937, desperate to escape her controlling husband and the rise of the Nazis, she disguises herself and flees her husband’ s castle. She lands in Hollywood, where she becomes Hedy Lamarr, a screen star. Meetings start at 1 p. m. in the Wilson Room of the Activity Center. For more information: Kristie Keil at khkeil @ prodigy. net.
