Halloween is what you make of it. It can pass as one quiet, wholesome night taking the kids door to door for candy. Or it can go the other way, spinning out into a week or two worth of bizarre parties and decidedly un-kid-friendly nights out on the town in full costume. Your pick.

Events go beyond Halloween Design walk, art mart, pink party, creepy art shows set

ith Halloween drawing near and the weather being so beautiful, there are so many events happening this week. I must admit I’m splurging a little this weekend and attending Skinful Halloween on James Island for the third year in a row. (Believe me, it’s worth the ticket price.) But if you don’t feel like spending your costume budget on a ticket to one of the Lowcountry’s many Halloween parties, check out these events.

Fall Design Walk

The annual Fall Design Walk on Upper King Street starts at 5 p.m. today. The walk will feature Upper King retailers who will extend their hours to offer receptions, refreshments, special offers and more. Seeking Indigo will celebrate its second birthday with food and drinks, as well as intuitive readings and chair massages, which will be $10 for 10 minutes. Other retailers, including Modern Trousseau, Circa Lighting, Morris Sokol Furniture, Canvas and many more, will host receptions and showcases, while restaurants such as Osteria la Bottiglia, La Fourchette and Fish will host special happy hour events. Parking will be available in the visitor center garage on Ann Street for $2. The Design District is between Calhoun and Spring streets. Visit www.Upper KingDesignDistrict.com.

Barsa Art Mart

Farther up King Street, Barsa Tapas, Lounge and Bar will be holding an out-

door art tent event 4-8 p.m. today. Displayed under the tent will be jewelry, original paintings, ceramics, handbags and more by artists including Caleigh Bird, Lisa Shimko, Chuck Keppler and Jamie Edwards. While shopping, guests may enjoy happy hour drink specials, including $4 sangrias. Barsa is at 58 Line St. Call 577-5393.

Pin Up Pink Party

In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, Chai’s Lounge, 462 King Street, will team up with Get Real Charleston to present the Pin Up Pink Party 6-9:30 p.m. Friday. The party will launch a pinup calendar featuring local women. All proceeds from the sale of the calendar will benefit MUSC’s Hollings Cancer Center. Guests can enjoy $4 specialty cocktails and $4 tapas while mingling with some of the ladies who are featured in the calendar. DJ Natty Heavy will provide music throughout the night. There is no cover charge, but donations are appreciated and guests are asked to RSVP by going to www. pinkpartychs.eventbrite. com.

Is Hollywood’s mania for remakes out of control?

BY PATRICK GOLDSTEIN

Los Angeles Times

‘E

KERRY HAYES/UNIVERSAL PICTURES/AP

Mary Elizabeth Winstead (left) and Joel Edgerton are shown in a scene from “The Thing.” retellings, including “Straw Dogs,” “The Karate Kid,” “True Grit,” “The A-Team,” “A Nightmare on Elm Street,” “Arthur,” “Robin Hood” and “Tangled.” TV has been loaded with much of the same, including new versions of “Hawaii Five-0,” “The Prisoner” and “Charlie’s Angels” (which has been canceled). Pop music is crammed with cover songs and remixes. So when I sat down the other day with Matthijs Van Heijningen, the 43-year-old director of “The Thing,” I

spent most of our lunch bugging him about remakes. Born and raised in Holland, where he has been a successful commercial director for 15 years, Van Heijningen spent his teen years gorging himself on Kafka novels and groundbreaking American movies, notably “The Godfather” series, “Blade Runner,” “The Exorcist” and “Jaws.” At 17, he said, he sneaked into “The Thing” (itself a remake) and was impressed by what he calls “its nihilism and sense of doom.” The movie resonated with

‘The safe way’

Van Heijningen suspects that today’s remake mania is rooted in the concentration of power on the corporate side of the studio system. “In the ’70s, no one was really told what to do. Artists were free, whether it was Polanski making ‘Chinatown’ or David Bowie going into a studio and coming out with ‘Ziggy Stardust’ a month

later. If art is controlled too much by commerce, like it is now, it’s going to always go the safe way, which is to redo what has been done before.” In the 1970s, with the studio system in a state of collapse, a generation of New Hollywood filmmakers seized power, inspiring a decade of auteur-driven artistry. But by the 1990s, Hollywood once again was in the grasp of media behemoths. They began developing the kind of film franchises and remakes that were marketable and offered predictable profit potential. It’s especially unsettling how quickly pop culture is regurgitated. Sony is rebooting “Spider-Man” just five years after the last sequel to the last version of the series was made.

Retro-looking

Why are we so culturally backward-looking today, especially when our technology leaps forward at such a dizzying pace? If anyone has a good theory about this deceleration of pop culture, it’s Simon Reynolds, whose recent book, “Retromania,” is about how pop music has gone from being an exploratory art to a form of cultural archaeology. He argues that retro has become a structural feature of pop culture, acting as an inevitable down phase to an earlier manic burst of creativity. Though he’s speaking in terms of music, many critics

might apply that logic to film or TV as well. “Like a boom-time economy, the more fertile and dynamic a genre is, the more it sets itself up for the musical-cultural equivalent of recession: retro,” Reynolds writes. “The sheer creativity of its surge years (the sixties, seventies and parts of the eighties) inevitably made it increasingly irresistible to be re-creative.” But today’s retromania is also tied to the way young consumers experience pop culture. When I was a kid, I wanted nothing to do with my parents’ music or movies. I needed to carve out my own identity. Today’s kids, thanks to the easy access to Netflix and YouTube, make far less of a distinction between old and new. With a century of culture just a click away, young consumers have become the ultimate archivists, just as willing to embrace familiarity as innovation. Will the pendulum swing back? “All great art has come out of darkness. Look at the Renaissance,” says Van Heijningen. “So maybe we must go through something really horrific before we’ll have the impulse to create something really bold and new.” Maybe he’s right. But for now, most filmmakers are wary of demanding too much of audiences that seem far more comfortable reliving the past than peering into the future.

verything old is new again,” the expression goes, but in pop culture these days, it seems more fitting to say everything new is old again. This past weekend is an apt example: Paramount Pictures opened “Footloose,” a remake of the cheesy 1984 dance movie, and it battled for the box-office crown against “The Thing,” a new version of the 1982 John Carpenter horror film from Universal Studios. I guess it was inevitable that we’d have a weekend where both of the big new releases were remakes. (This week brings another: “The Three Musketeers.”) Whether you’re writing about Hollywood, pop music, TV or theater, the prefix “re” gets a serious workout on your keypad, since every other new project seems to be a remake, reboot, revival, reissue, relaunch, reunion, restaging, reimagining or re-enactment. In the past couple of years on the movie side, we’ve had all sorts of remakes and

him so much that when Van Heijningen was looking to make his feature debut here, he found himself eager to revisit the film. The whole mania for remakes tends to revolve around commercial motives so it’s hardly a surprise to discover that there was an element of careerism in Van Heijningen’s decision. “It is slightly strategical to do something that’s familiar,” he told me. “But I thought I could give the movie some of my own flavor as a filmmaker. It’s a lot like making a commercial. There’s already a story, created to sell a product. So as a director, you just have to find a way to express your own ideas inside of that framework.”

Thriller ‘Margin Call’ dissects Wall Street’s fall BY ROGER MOORE The Orlando Sentinel

aybe it went down something like this: The day begins with the march of the downsizers — those “consultants” hired by big businesses to come in and do the dirty work of laying people off. Maybe one of the guys they cut (Stanley Tucci) is in charge of “risk management,” and maybe he’s been working on something. If he’s a loyal soldier and somebody dependent on his severance check clearing, he alerts an underling (Zachary Quinto). And that young guy does the math. They’re “exposed,” in a big way. And “once this gets going in the wrong direction,” their 107-year-old

movie review

★★★½ (of 5 stars) DIRECTOR: J.C. Chandor. CAST: Kevin Spacey, Zachary Quinto, Demi Moore, Jeremy Irons, Paul Bettany, Stanley Tucci, Simon Baker. RATED: R for language.

firm, Wall Street and the world’s economy will tumble off a cliff. How that firm, its leaders and its foot soldiers react to this nightmare scenario is the subject of the superb Wall Street thriller “Margin Call.” The movie isn’t a sermon, it’s a dissection, an all-star big-name top-to-bottom/ bottom-to-top analysis of the sorts of people and the kind of mind-sets that brought

the world to its dire financial state today. This compellingly acted film explains, better than any sound bite, why people have taken to the streets, “occupying” centers of finance. If their rage is unfocused, “Margin Call” suggests, that’s with good reason. There are no real heroes or villains here, just human beings with human failings making big human mistakes.

Artist creates complex cutouts

s children, most of us loved making interesting shapes or even snowflakes out of paper cutouts. Redux Contemporary Art Center’s newest visiting artist, Liz Miller, does this on a much grander scale in her site-specific installation, “Picturesque Evacuation Ploy.” I dare say I’m really dumbing it down the description by even referencing paper cutouts, as her work is so much more complex and visually stimulating. Join the artist for a lecture at 5:30 p.m. Friday, followed by a reception 6-9 p.m. This will be Miller’s last day as the artist-in-residence at Redux, but the work will be on display until Nov. 26.

EVO puts something extra into pizza, sandwiches

BY ROB YOUNG

Special to The Post and Courier

VO has been lauded since 2005, when owners Ricky Hacker and Matt McIntosh wheeled a cart into the Charleston Farmers Market and began selling fire-baked pizzas. Three years later, they opened their own place in North Charleston, where they’re still scoring compliments. And for good reason. EVO cooks its pies Neapolitan style: a thin, soft, crunchy crust yielding to super-fresh toppings and excellent flavor.

The Pesto Pistachio Pizza With Arugula at EVO Pizzeria.

Just this September, Food Network magazine chose EVO’s pistachio pesto, a fine-

ly tuned pie containing mozzarella, goat and parmesan cheeses, as well as a pseudo pesto base made from olive oil, salt and pistachios, as the state’s top pizza. But as for EVO’s most lauded dish? It’s gotta be the pork trifecta pizza, a holy reverie celebrating housemade sweet sausage, pepperoni, smoked bacon, mozzarella cheese and red sauce. And sure, these guys have sandwiches, too. The BLT isn’t even a BLT at all, but rather it’s filled with speck, a delicious salted and cold-smoked type of

prosciutto. EVO additionally makes a vegetable and Gruyere panini with roasted red pepper and grilled eggplant, as well as a grilled focaccia bread sandwich made of rosemary ham, brie and peaches (from South Carolina, of course). The restaurant, in fact, displays its bent toward local and regional foods, visiting farms

or purveyors to handpick ingredients. It shows with grape tomatoes from Geechie Boys Market and Mill (Edisto Island), cheeses from Split Creek Farms (Anderson) and lettuce and heirloom tomatoes from Blackbird Farms (Flat Rock, N.C.). Truly, it’s the type of place that puts care into each pie.

There is a musical movement billowing out of California: a revival of the Northern California rock scene made popular in the ’70s by artists such as Neil Young, The Eagles, Crosby, Stills and Nash and others. The roots rock revival has been dubbed the “Laurel Canyon sound,” named after the bohemian Los Angeles suburb where many of the genre’s best-known figures lived, and has caught steam in a growing post-folk singer/songwriter movement. After six years in the making, L.A.-based sextet Truth & Salvage Co. are one of the bands leading the genre’s resurgence. Like another merger decades earlier between rising bands L.A.

Peter Gabriel

Ryan Adams

When Peter Gabriel released “Scratch My Back” last year, it wasn’t your normal everyday album of cover songs. Gabriel recorded the songs, which included hits written by David Bowie, Paul Simon and Arcade Fire, with a full orchestra, eschewing the guitars and drums that normally accompany rock music. The result was a cover album with covers that sounded almost like new original songs. The experiment was so successful that it seems that Gabriel has decided to turn inward for his next project. “New Blood” features a collection of 14 classic Peter Gabriel songs recorded the same way: with a full orchestra, and without guitar or drums. As strange as it might be for an artist to re-record his own songs (Sting did so recently, orchestra and all, with dismal results), it actually works beautifully here. Gabriel classics such as “Red Rain” and “In Your Eyes” are reinvented. The special edition of the album even includes a bonus disc with instrumental versions of all 14 remakes. Guests on the album include Melanie Gabriel on “Downside Up” and Ane Brun taking over for Kate Bush on “Don’t Give Up.” Other Gabriel tunes that get the orchestral treatment include “San Jacinto,” “Mercy Street,” “Digging in the Dirt” and “Solsbury Hill.” While not every song fully works with the formula, there is still more than enough great music to justify buying Gabriel’s songs yet again. Leave it to a music visionary such as Gabriel to make even covers of his own songs sound fresh and new. KEY TRACKS: “Red Rain,” “Don’t Give Up,” “Digging in the Dirt.”

While Ryan Adams is well known as an amazing songwriter, just a few years ago the frequency with which he was releasing albums threatened to make him something of a joke. During one 19-month period between 2004 and 2005, Adams released four studio albums, including the doublealbum “Cold Roses.” While most of the material on those releases was quite good, many felt the songwriter was spreading himself too thin. Thankfully, it seems that Adams has slowed his output. He only released two albums last year, and now comes “Ashes & Fire,” an album that likely will make fans of Adams’ old band, Whiskeytown, sit up and take notice. Adams’ songwriting is as lovely as ever, and although it is his first recording without his backing band, the Cardinals, in more than six years, the trademark Ryan Adams sound is still there loud and clear. Tunes such as “Dirty Rain,” “Come Home” and “Rocks” showcase Adams’ vocals, which go from a whisper to a high, plaintive note with seemingly effortless grace. The alt-country and Americana labels for music definitely apply here, and yet Adams’ music transcends those categories, much like the work of Bob Dylan. This is an intensely personal and introspective collection of songs, written by a man who not too long ago announced he was retiring from the music business. Hopefully this collection marks a newfound interest in continuing to make music, rather than simply serving as a victory lap farewell to fans. KEY TRACKS: “Ashes & Fire,” “Do I Wait,” “Kindness.”

backstory: It takes place on a compound that had been used as a secure storage facility for chemicals that the government was using for experiments. An incident caused a lockdown under quarantine, trapping workers inside. It is unknown if the incident affected those inside or if it spread. Authorities have decided to send in others to see if they come out unaffected, or if they come out at all. You can get an All You Can Dare Scare Pass, which includes all four events for $25.

2. ‘Skinful’

The 11th annual Skinful Halloween, one of Charleston’s largest (and delightfully notorious) Halloween party, is throwing down early this year on Saturday. The party runs into the night (8 p.m.-4 a.m.) at the old dairy plant at 1575 Folly Road. Nearby Brick House Kitchen will serve food all night; drinks for cash. Admission is $50 or $100 for VIP treatment. Like last year, there will be no on-site parking. Unlike last year, there will be no outside coolers allowed. However, cash bars (and ATMs) can be found throughout the party. Entertainment includes burlesque pole dancing, urban wakeboarding, hayrides, circus acts, a hookah dome party, video walls, lasers and zip lines. Six stages will feature Mixmaster Mike, Too Short, Tanya Stephens and many others. Get tickets online at Etix or at Las Olas on King Street; Juanita Greenburg’s or Pet Vet in Mount Pleasant; and Alchemy Coffee in West Ashley. Transportation options (consider these if you’re planning to imbibe) include Absolute Charleston Taxi Limousine and Star Limo.

3. Classy spooks

Ever wonder what would happen if certain characters crossed paths? Charleston Ballet Theatre has. For one night only, they’ll mix the zombies from Michael Jackson’s video, “Thriller,” with the freaks from “The Rocky Horror Picture Show.” The performance highlights an appearance by Brian Porter as Dr. Frankenfurter. You might remember him as “Hedwig” in this past summer’s “Hedwig and the Angry Inch” during Piccolo Spoleto. Porter will sing with backing from CBT dancers. Choreography by Greg Tavares will focus on zombie movement improv. “Thriller: A Monster Mashup” takes place 11 p.m. Oct. 28 and 2 a.m. Oct. 29 at Charleston Music Hall.

4. Monster Magnolia

Magnolia Plantation is planning on more treats than tricks for a familyfriendly Halloween. A bonfire, roasted marshmallows, popcorn and “Witch’s Brew” (green Kool-Aid) will accompany the outdoor showing of the movie “Swamp Thing” on Oct. 28-29. Hair-raising hayrides throughout the plantation’s trails will take off at 9 and 10 p.m. The more timid can go a bit earlier at 7 or 8 p.m. Admission is free to an-

nual members, $10 for nonmembers or $40 per car (up to five passengers). Call 571-1266 or visit magnoliaplantation.com.

5. Brains!

Eye Level Art in Charleston opens its doors for an Oct. 29 Halloween party “off the path of normal,” according to owner Mike Elder. “Come early, stay late and be ready to dance your zombie faces off,” he added. While costumes are highly encouraged (of course), zombie costumes are especially in demand. Get there early and Eye Level will even help you out with that zombie get up. From 7 to 9 p.m., zombie makeup artists will be on hand to paint faces. Then Darling Waste from New York will open the night at 8:30. Headliner Leather Zoo, a female-fronted U.K. punk band, will take over at 9:30 p.m. DJ Rocky Horror will keep the party going late. Call 425-3576 or visit eyelevelart.com.

The lineup for this weekend’s Southern Ground Music and Food Festival includes My Morning Jacket, the Zac Brown Band (above), Train and many other local and national-level bands.

Food & good tunes

Daniel Island hosts the Southern Ground Music & Food Festival this weekend BY DENISE K. JAMES

In Southern Ground events,

with southern music and honor that tradition.” This festival will be the first one in Charleston, but there are hopes to repeat Southern Ground every year. The Zac Brown Band will perform three times throughout the weekend, along with headliners My Morning Jacket and Train and Southern blues legend Warren Haynes. “This is a perfect place to host the festival, because Charleston really appreci-

Special to The Post and Courier we put the food in touch

hef Rusty Hamlin and musician Zac Brown think food and music are two art forms best enjoyed together. This weekend on Daniel Island, guests can enjoy that combination at the Southern Ground Music & Food Festival. “Charleston is a great central point for the Southeast,” Zac Brown said. “People really gather around food in the South; the kitchen is often a central meeting place.

ates food and music,” Hamlin says. “It pretty much just came naturally to have an event here.” Hamlin and Brown have worked together on food and music for years. The two met in 2001, became close friends and decided to bring concerts and cuisine together by hosting “Eat and Greet” events after concerts. After a few years of these gatherings, the mobile kitchen named Cookie was born. “Zac is a great cook as well as a musician, and I’m happy to cook anything with him, whether it’s breakfast, lunch or dinner!” says Hamlin. “We started the kitchen trailer 2½ years ago. We strive to have local products every day to work with, and to make food that people

can thrive on.” Hamlin explains that the food is “Southern” and “made with love.” Some of the signature recipes that they’ll offer in the trailer for this event include their famous peanut butter chocolate biscuit pudding, jambalaya, pork tenderloin and beef tenderloin sliders. “When I was 4 years old, my mother would sit me on the counter and hand me a spoonful of whatever she happened to be making that day,” he says. “It was essentially a game. If I could name the ingredients melded in the spoon, I would get a nickel. I can thank my mother for my passion regarding food. I’ve been cooking for about 17 years

now, and I own Atkins Park Restaurant in Atlanta.” Brown describes the music of the Zac Brown Band as “country, but ranging from country to bluegrass to reggae to Southern rock.” “Everyone in my band has a different background in

music, whether it’s rock, jazz, classical or something else,” he says. “When a song is born within the band, we have to decide how best to represent the song. We’re fortunate to have a lot of musical diversity.” When talking to Brown, it’s almost impossible to tell what he loves best: making

food or playing songs. “We do take the extra step with our food like Rusty mentioned,” he said. “We cut our own steaks, for instance. We try to keep things simple, fresh and good.” The Southern Ground Festival will host lots of local chefs in addition to Brown

and Hamlin’s truck. Hungry patrons can check out choices from places such as Husk, McCrady’s, and Home Team BBQ. “We’ll have items at our truck, as well as other local choices for food,” laughs Hamlin. “It should be quite the selection. I’m so honored to have these Charleston

chefs in my world.” But possibly the best experience offered by the Southern Ground Festival is the opportunity to sit right on the stage and enjoy a menu prepared by chefs such as Sean Brock and Mike Lata, as well as Hamlin. “The Stage Box Porch will be literally attached to the stage,” says Hamlin. “We’ll be serving a three-course dinner as well as alcoholic beverages to folks who purchase those tickets. Plus, you’ll be right beside the bands the whole time! A dumbwaiter will carry the food and drinks.” Menu items for the Stage Box include starters such as Hamlin’s bourbon molasses pork belly with goat cheese ricotta, black-eyed ho cake and fennel fig slaw; entrees such as Lata’s Butter Pea Pasta E Fagioli; plus desserts such as banana pudding with vanilla wafer crumble.

This is a perfect place to host the festival, because Charleston really appreciates food and music. Chef Rusty Hamlin

Quiana Parler changes gears gracefully

ocalist Quiana Parler has been one of the brightest stars in the Lowcountry live music firmament for some years now. But from what I’ve seen and heard recently, she has certainly come into her own as a song stylist. She carries herself well, no small feat for a young mom who makes her living as an entertainer. I’ve attended rehearsals she’s been in lately with the Charleston Jazz Orchestra. They have a sold-out concert Saturday, a CJO 2011 season show billed as “Pops! An Evening With Quiana Parler.” Preparation has been intense. At the same time, it’s been great to witness how well Parler is singing jazz these days. She’s built her reputation as a pop singer, but she has deep jazz roots.

In the early 1990s, in what may have been her first professional gig, Parler, a young teen at the time, took the stage at the Music Farm for the Charleston Jazz Festival in front of a band led by CJO drummer Quentin Baxter and belted out a version of “All Blues” that brought the house down. I was in the audience and immediately knew that she had what it takes. So, when I heard her two weeks ago at rehearsal, I felt I had come full circle with her.

And it was stunning. Again, I’m not surprised. She’s thoroughly professional, her voice is maturing in depth and her tone has some burnt molasses in it now. She’s no stranger to the spotlight. Parler, a Dorchester County native, has performed with the Charleston Symphony Orchestra and made the Top 48 of Season Two of the Fox hit “American Idol” in 2003. She tours with fellow “American Idol” alum Clay Aiken. She has performed on “Saturday Night Live,” “The View” and other shows. But she’s excited about the CJO show. It makes sense to me. There’s no better showcase for her big, resonant voice than a swinging 20piece orchestra. Reach Jack McCray at jackjmccray@aol.com.

In today’s deal West’s two-notrump overcall showed at least 5-5 in the minors. North’sjumptosixheartsisthe kind of bid I approve of — a fair shot on a hand where it would be impossible to find out scientifically whether slam, or even a grand, would be a good proposition. Plan the play on the lead of the club king. There are two possible lines of play: one is a complete crossruff. For that to work, you will need both the spade ace and king to live, but West may well have started with a singleton spade. A better line is simply to play for West to have at least one of the outstanding diamond honors, surely nearly 100 percent on the bidding. Win the club ace and cash the ace of trump. If West shows out, you can change tack and go for thecompletecrossruffline,starting by cashing the spade ace and king, then ruffing clubs in hand and diamonds in dummy. However, if both opponents followed suit on the trump ace, play a heart to your jack and run the diamond queen, pitching a spade from the dummy. Ruff East’s club return and play the diamond jack, probably covered by West. Ruff in the dummy, come back to hand with a club ruff, and cash the diamond 10, discarding another spade from dummy.Nowaspadetotheking, aspadetotheaceandaspaderuff in the dummy bring your trick total to 12. © United Feature Syndicate

Uncle lying about medal

It’s good to be No. 1 F

or years, Head2Head has subscribed to Conde Nast Traveler and eagerly followed its annual Reader’s Poll every year. “Always a bridesmaid, never a bride” could’ve been an apt description of Charleston’s perennial No. 2 ranking after San Francisco for Best U.S. City. This year, however, we prevailed. Charleston is America’s No. 1 city! To celebrate, we’ve got a whole lot of Charleston trivia heading your way. Out-oftowner and current champ John Anderson is going up against local Samantha Lewis.

FILE/THE POST AND COURIER

So here’s something Conde Nast Traveler probably wouldn’t tell tourists about Charleston: This is NOT a free souvenir. Nor is it something kids should play with. Or take into restaurants.

EAR ABBY: My “Uncle Bernard” has a colorful personality. He’s always full of tall tales about his exploits. About five years ago, my uncle announced that he had been awarded a Purple Heart. I know that he was a member of the Merchant Marines on a ship that never left the Great Lakes. He also isn’t listed on the Purple Heart recipient registry, which makes me wonder where he got the medal. Uncle Bernie hasn’t been feeling well, so he has prepared his obituary, which notes that he was a recipient of the Purple Heart. He also told has us he wants the medal displayed at his funeral. I am aghast! I don’t think I’ll be able to grin and bear this one. He’s a fake, and I don’t want his children and church to be embar-

DEAR ABBY rassed. — BITING MY TONGUE FOR NOW DEAR BITING: Uncle Bernie appears to be a fabulist, a polite term for a liar. That he would masquerade as a war hero having never set foot in a war zone is disgusting. If I were in your situation, I’d wait patiently until the time comes, then talk to his family about the potential embarrassment. When the obituary is published, reference to the medal should be omitted, and at the funeral the medal should not be displayed. Write www.DearAbby.com.
