CINEMA Baseball blues BAMcinematek presents Jos de Putter’s 2002 documentary “Brooklyn Stories,” about local fans sharing their baseball memories, — especially those of the Brooklyn Dodgers, on Sept. 13 as part of its “Double Dutch” series. “Brooklyn Stories,” which will be screened at 6:50 pm and 9:15 pm, isn’t a series of talking head interviews with experts and historians. Rather, the subjects are the definition of your aging, average Joe wax- ing nostalgic about Pee Wee Reese embracing Jackie Robinson. While the stories have an important place in Brooklyn’s (718) 834-9350 The Brooklyn Papers’ essential guide to the Borough of Kings September 10, 2005 history and in the annals of baseball lore, they are certainly not news to the average borough resident. The audience members that would most enjoy this film might well be Brooklyn’s newest residents. For everyone else, these “Stories” are old hat. BAMcinematek is located at 30 Lafayette Ave. at Ashland Place in Fort Greene. Tickets are $10, $7 for students 25 and younger with a valid ID, seniors and children under 12.

Wal-Mart is known for offering quality merchandise at every day low prices. That’s something that could certainly benefit New Yorkers, but that’s just the beginning.

With jobs that pay competitive wages and offer comprehensive benefits, Wal-Mart stores contribute to the economic vitality of neighborhoods across America by providing a practically endless list of career opportunities.

Maybe that’s why so many people choose to work at Wal-Mart. In fact, at a new Wal-Mart in California, more than 11,000 people applied for 400 jobs.

We’re the largest employer of African Americans and one of the largest employers of Latinos, seniors and physically challenged Americans, which illustrates Wal-Mart’s strong commitment to diversity.

There’s no doubt a Wal-Mart store in the neighborhood would save you money. And it just might help you earn some, too.
