We have a collection of movies as back-up and apologize for any disappointments when the scheduled movie is postponed. Your suggestions for future movies are welcome. July 2 The Post: When the Washington Post agrees to publish the leaked Pentagon Papers -- which point to a secret escalation of the Vietnam War -- the Nixon administration tries to block publication, setting off an epic legal and political battle. July 9 The Shape of Water: During the Cold War era, lonely Elisa works as a cleaning lady in a top-secret U.S. government laboratory. But her life is altered forever after she and a co-worker stumble upon a hush-hush experiment. July 16 Wonder: Entering fifth grade will be momentous for Auggie -- because at last, he'll get to be ordinary. While his facial deformity has previously kept him from attending regular schools, Auggie is determined to make his classmates see beyond his face. July 23 The Book of Henry: Naomi Watts stars as Susan, a single mother of two, working as a waitress in a small town, but everything in her life is not what it seems. Her son, Henry (Jaeden Lieberher), is an 11-year-old genius who not only masters academics, but manages the family finances and acts as emotional support for Susan. When Henry finds out that the girl next door, Christina, has a terrible secret, Henry and Susan take matters into their own hands in this imaginative and emotional drama from director Colin Trevorrow. July 30 Bombshell: The Hedy Lamarr Story: Remembered as one of the most ravishing stars of her day, screen legend Hedy Lamarr had brains and beauty -- which are on full display in this illuminating documentary that spotlights her World War II-era coinvention of wireless communication forms.

DISASTER TIP: Phone a friend: Encourage people you know to adopt a buddy system a short, simple, daily call or visit for those who will most benefit from this level of connection. A buddy can be a friend, family member, neighbor, or other trusted person. If an emergency ever stops them from connecting, or if something sounds suspicious or just not right, a buddy can take action and alert the designated emergency contacts. A short, simple, daily call can be a real lifesaver.

DISASTER PREPAREDNESS FOR SENIORS For each one of us, planning for emergencies is a unique process as we all have different physical and emotional needs. Disasters and emergencies can create special challenges for seniors. You might not be quite as agile as you used to be; you might use a cane or wheelchair; or you might have vision or hearing difficulties. No matter what your personal challenges are, you can take simple steps to be better prepared for emergencies. Do you have a disaster kit? What do you need for 72 hours? First-Aid kit Battery-powered radio and flashlight with extra batteries Change of clothing, rain gear, sturdy shoes Blanket or sleeping bag Extra set of keys Whistle Cash and change Wrench to turn off utilities Personal hygiene supplies Phone numbers of local and non-local relatives or friends Prescription medicines, list of medications and dosages, list of allergies Extra eyeglasses and/or hearing aids and batteries List of the style and serial numbers of medical devices (i.e. pacemakers) Medical insurance and Medicare cards List of doctors, relatives or friends to notify if you are injured Also have on hand: One gallon of water per person per day. (Plan for at least 3 days.) Store water in sealed, unbreakable containers that you are able to handle. Non-perishable food supply (including any special foods you require). Choose foods that are easy to store and carry, nutritious and ready-to-eat. Rotate them regularly. Manual can opener you are able to use. Non-perishable food for any pets. This Preparedness Minute was prepared by the Monterey County Health Department.
