Derby Neck Library to show movie 'The Hitch-Hiker' Monday

DERBY - Join us at 3:30 p.m. Monday at Derby Neck Library as we watch The Hitch-Hiker (1953), the first classic Hollywood film noir to be directed by a woman: the legendary actress and trailblazing filmmaker Ida Lupino.

Based on a true story as propulsive, riveting, and intense as a Hitchcock thriller, the film stars Edmond O’Brien, William Talman, and Frank Lovejoy, and features cinematography by the great Nicholas Musuraca, who shot Cat People (Jacques Tourneur, 1942) and several of the other horror masterpieces produced by Val Lewton at RKO.

Hot, fresh popcorn will be served!

The Library is at 307 Hawthorne Ave.

Griffin Center for Healthy Living in Oxford to host The Pantry Challenge

OXFORD – The Griffin Center for Healthy Living is helping individuals clean out their pantries with a free “spicy” cooking demonstration.

The Pantry Challenge will be March 19 from 5-6:15 p.m. at the Griffin Center for Healthy Living Teaching Kitchen, Quarry Walk, 300 Oxford Road

Former Executive Director of Massaro Farm and sustainable nutrition expert Caty Poole will discuss random items people tend to have in their pantries that they struggle to figure out how to use. Poole will highlight healthy ways to incorporate these ingredients into delicious options that are cost effective while also preparing homemade chili that can be a great way to use up pantry staples.

Participants are encouraged to bring two-to-three ingredients that they don't know what to do with, or bring a list of items in their pantry that they struggle to use.

This event is free, but seating is limited and reservations are required.
