It's that time of year when movie trailers are plentiful and people attend movies more often because the weather isn't nice enough to be outside.

This deer season, local hunters will feed the hungry and curb the deer population simultaneously.
Documentary film can be an incredibly in-depth and compelling method of storytelling, and Live from Bethlehem is a prime example. The film chronicles the everyday struggles of the only independent news network broadcasting from within Palestine and the occupied territories, the Ma'an News Agency, in a way that is both stirring and humbling for those of us who often take for granted our Western conveniences. It is an occasion all too rare that we have a chance to take an earnest and insightful look into cultures foreign to our own, and Live from Bethlehem gives us a chance to do just that. The Society of Professional Journalists will be hosting a free screening of the film tonight at 7 p.m. in the Anderson Auditorium, Scripps 111. Along with the screening, the Emmy-nominated screenwriter and documentarian behind the film, Matt Sienkiewicz, will be present and available for questions as well as a discussion of the film immediately following the screening. This screening is a unique opportunity to hear the voices coming from the Middle East so often marginalized by our media filters, and to speak directly to one of the documentarians present at every stage of making the film. Please join us for this opportunity to look both around the world and within ourselves for a more nuanced understanding of what separates and unites us all.

An Ohio University junior suspects a $1 coffee caused her major headaches last fall.
I write in response to Christopher Drummonds' Sept. 29 letter, itself in response to a letter by John Spofforth. Mr. Drummonds seems to have a pretty good head on his shoulders; his call for folk to pay a little more respect to his religion is useful and admirable. I have written letters to The Post on this subject more than a few times (and miraculously the editors continue to publish them), so I will not reiterate my agreement too much that religions should respect one another.
The Athens County Sheriff's Office issued an arrest warrant yesterday for a 20-year-old man, now in Appalachian Behavioral Healthcare, who allegedly stabbed his stepfather in the neck.
The City of Athens and local school officials have succeeded in obtaining $119,500 to improve the health of their students by making school travel routes safer for students to walk or bike to school.
When it comes to major decisions, perhaps it's indifference that really is bliss. Look no further for proof than our two student representatives on the Board of Trustees.
Athens residents will be given a chance to voice their opinions regarding a deal between Verizon Communications and Frontier Communications at a hearing held by the Ohio Consumers' Counsel (OCC).
