Tip On Posting Your Contact Info On Your Refrigerator (courtesy, Baja Pony Express) - I just got an email from a neighbor reporting that she saw a door open on a vacant house as she was walking her dog. She did not know the people that owned the house, but knew that I did. She emailed me but I did not have a U.S. phone number for the owners, just an email address. She did call the police and they came to investigate.
I do not know the results yet, but I am using this example to stress what I have written before concerning putting an emergency number on your fridge. Luckily the woman that discovered the open door had an email address to contact me so I could contact them. But if I was not able to be contacted , who would have told the owners of the problem? So again a reminder to put a local emergency number to contact and YOUR stateside phone number on your fridge, so that it might easily be found in this kind of matter. Come on, neighbors, let's make it easier to help each other. Write those numbers down now and tack them to the fridge. Thanks - Kathleen Morris

When 12-year-old Renato catches a glimpse of beautiful new bride Malèna (Monica Bellucci), his heart skips a beat. But when jealous town busybodies begin spreading vile rumors about Malèna, Renato must incorporate those falsehoods with what he knows to be true. A coming-of-age story set in Sicily during World War II, Malèna exposes the effect waggish gossip can have.
