t mm p 4 weekender october i 1995 stajx lets ensure the hunger stops long term the thanksgiving food drive is an easy way to make a difference to those less fortunate and recently bins set up in major super markets save us the trip to the fire hall or food depot with the heavy bag or two even easier is the recent access to plastic cards with which we can donate with out even selecting or deliv ering the food itself with cuts to welfare immi nent it is more crucial than ever to support these drives generously in order to deal with the ever increasing numbers the banks have had to become centralized and less personal their struggle to viewpoint jo ann stevenson cope with massive demands on their stocks is exemplary but i hope short lived preferrable to food banks are local service agencies who are in touch with fami lies in need and who would have budgets to cover short- term emergencies when local agencies are in direct contact with the hungry who live in their communi ties they are able to offer broader services which will help them get on their feet for example food banks which distribute tins of stew chunky soup and peanut butter may hold a family over for a meal or two thats great but if that family or single person could be taught how to cook and shop on a budget they could spend the equivalent money on enough whole some and nutritious food for a week some food net works are doing this kind of training but they are large ly underfunded and under staffed a tin of chunky soup serves two people modest portions with questionable nutrition value a bag of potatoes with a few onions and a small amount of milk makes a hearty potful this contact with local service agencies would strike more at the cause of their hunger be it unem ployment poor budgeting and financial skills or men tal or physical handicaps chunky soup will fill a void today but those in nee- drequire much more dove tailing with our communi ties compassion pours out to those in need through this very worthy program but lets keep the momentum going and ensure the hunger stops long term the tribune weekender edition a metround community newqxpec rotuciapappas powthcr jo ann

viwirs so m the way to get things done is not to mind who gets the credit for doing them benjamin jowett poor old ben as a classical theologian he was undoubtedly firstrate he was easily one of the best loved masters in the entire history of ballioi college in oxford but if hed ever tried to peddle that whocareswhogetscredit philosophy in the movies theyd have strung him up from a lamppost at the corner of holly wood and vine who gets credit for what is everything in hollywood if you dont believe me go shell out six or eight bucks and sit through waterworld the kevin cost- ner epic currently inundating movie screens around the world the credits for waterworld are a minidocumentary unto themselves they roll for an incredible seven minutes and they just name stars and co- stars the waterworld credits sing the praises of the chief dockmaster the vault manag er trimaran cocoordinators and some poor creatures known as digital roto supervisors there are more than eight hundred individual credits immortalizing the folks who helped made waterworld and thaf s for a flop the mind shudders to think how many extra legions costner would have needed to make a success ful movie back when i was a kid all you had to do was blink and youd miss the movie credits in the early days the credits rolled before the feature film and they kept them simple they told you the name of the director the pro ducer the leading man the lead ing lady and then they told you you only had five more minutes to get your popcorn i can remember years ago being mystified by such credit arthurblack designations as gaffer grip and best boy a cousin whod played an extra in a few holly wood movies straightened me put gaffer she explained was a lighting technician grips were the guys who lugged the heavy movie cameras around and best boy was a kind rarefied gofer who fetched cof fee and anything else the grips and gaffers needed but then the movie credit business got complicated in the credits to the movie batman forever you will see acknbwl- edgments for the batsuit wrangler and even a robin- suit wrangler what the hell is that movie credits have gotten more complicated because films are a lot more technical than they used to be half the movies on the screen these days would be laughed out of the theatre if it wasnt or the special effects naturally the people responsi ble for those special effects think they deserve a pat on the back too still the credit business is getting pretty silly theres a movie called carrington com ing soon to a theatre near you after ifs over when the credits roll you will see a credit for honeywagon driver a honeywagon driver is the guy who brings in and removes those johnnyonthespot portable toilets they use on location for some of the movies tve seen lately the honeywagon driver should get top billing
