    The zombies are coming.

    Really. The zombies are coming.

    As I wrote in a column not long ago, it is getting to be that time of year. You know, autumn and the Halloween season.

    And this Saturday downtown Elizabethtown is being taken over by zombies.

    Dancing zombies, no less.

    OK, so maybe not all the zombies will be dancing, but at least some of them will.

  • A bleak future in "Looper"

    “Looper”

    Rated R for strong violence, language, some sexuality/nudity and drug content.

    Runtime: 118 minutes

    Release date: Sept. 28

    Rating: It’s a downer

     

     

    As any time-traveling futuristic movie, “Looper” is a bit hard to explain.

    Think harsh like “12 Monkeys” and not light and fun like “Back to the Future.”

    In fact, “Looper” gives a very bleak view of the not so distant future.

  • Even off-key parents perform little miracles

     

    After more than 30 years of piano teaching, I had experienced all kinds of different parents: Parents who were always two minutes early, parents who were always five minutes late, parents who quibbled over money and parents who arrived at the start of each term with their checkbook open.

  • Elizabethtown artist throws efforts into creating pottery

    Sitting at a potter’s wheel on the back porch of her Elizabethtown home on a temperate day before autumn, Monique Wright Hanna imagines aloud it is what heaven must be like.

    The fall equinox signifies the completion of summer and transition to fall; likewise, the summer of 2012 signified completion of Hanna’s goal of devoting an entire summer to art. Along with pottery, she produced oil paintings and quilts.
