Change Lights with the Season
K ay n ewell
If you have light strings
that were used for out-
door summer gatherings
or Halloween, you can get
a head start on decorating
for Christmas, solstice cel-
ebration or other winter
holidays by just changing
the bulb colors.
Sunlan has many differ-
ent colors of lightbulbs.
When you have clear or
white replaceable bulbs in
a string, you can change
out a few to create a new
look. Add some red and
green bulbs for Christmas,
blue and white for Hanuk-
kah or New Years, and am-
ber or yellow for winter
celebrations.

Malcolm X: Make it Plain
The NW Film Center at the
Portland Art Museum is present-
ing the eye-opening 1994 PBS
Documentary “Malcom X: Make
it Plain,” on Sunday, Dec. 14 at
1:30 p.m.
The screening is part of a series
of films running through Jan. 12
that grapple with mass media, race
and representation, in conjunction
with the major Portland Art Muse-
um exhibit “Hank Willis Thomas:
All Things Being Equal.
Thomas said he selected the
films to highlight documenta-
ries that impacted his life and his
“whole understanding of the pow-
er of art to shape notions of the
truth and therefore reality.”
Produced for PBS’s American
Experience series and narrated by
actress Alfre Woodard, “Malcolm
X: Make it Plain” traces the rad-
ical civil rights leader’s life from
his tumultuous childhood, through
his rise in the ranks of the Nation
of Islam, to his 1965 assassination.
Admission is $10 general and
$8 for students, seniors and chil-
dren
Pre-lit trees lights will
fail after time. You may
want to string new lights
on them to extend their
life.
Be sure to read the
lighting instructions for
safety.
Outdoor light strings
need to be supported on
a guy wire or on some-
thing solid. Do not hang
them with just the sock-
ets to support the string.
Keep the bulbs away
from anything the bulbs
can burn. The same rules
apply inside your home.
One last rule. Keep all
electrical cords and con-
nections safe by keeping
them dry and out of foot
traffic. Do not put them
under rugs.
