“F1: The Movie” takes viewers inside the exciting world of Formula One auto-racing. The director is Joseph Kosinski, best known for taking “Top Gun: Maverick” to the top of the yearly box office three years ago. Between that movie’s jets and this movie’s cars, it seems the man’s specialty is directing movies about things that go “whoosh.” And yes, this movie is best enjoyed in premium-format theaters (for me it was a Dolby) that can really give the audience a good taste of the whooshing. That is to say I got maximum enjoyment out of the whooshing cars and very little enjoyment out of everything else.

Erika Deitch Schwartz will be the speaker at the July 3 meeting of Polk County Genealogical Society. Schwartz was born in 1944 in Nazi-occupied Hungary. She and her mother were the sole survivors of her mother’s entire family. Schwartz will speak about her family and the six million Jews murdered by the Nazis. She will speak of the individuality of these people who loved, and were loved, by people who are still alive. This isn’t ancient history and her closing message of hope…that our lives don’t have to be defined by our circumstances…has resonated with many who have heard her speak. Schwartz spoke at the March meeting of the Polk County
