MAKE-A-WISH/$1 MILLION: Make-A-Wish and the no-contract cell phone provider Straight Talk Wireless are giving local residents the opportunity to help grant children’s wishes. This takes place at Walmarts in the area from 10 a.m.-4 p.m. on Saturday (Sept. 29, Oct. 6 and Oct. 13). For every person who completes a one-minute demo of a Straight Talk Wireless cell phone, the company will donate $1-- up to $1 million -- to Make-A-Wish.
