D-6 Home Life Wednesday, September 20, 2017 The Press-Dispatch stamps, so for a postcard the stamp cost 34 cents and the stamped card cost 38 cents, well I just thought everyone else should know this in case they have a postcard to send to all of us stars will enjoy. Winslow finally got some rain Tuesday off and on with some slow rain overnight in- to Wednesday morning but the Patoka River Saturday was quite low. Our temp have been in the daytime 70s but at night chilly temps of 50 -60, but when Friday came and into the weekend the hot 80s and the high hu- midity was back just in time for the festivals. I have a memory that if I don't write or jot it down, I forgot to put it in. One thing is that the leave have chang- es already some trees are changing yellow and others are changing yellow with brown edges. The begin- ning of fall is September 22. As you all know there was the Buffalo Trace 200 years Festival in Petersburg for two days and from the pic- tures on Facebook it was a really great two-day event. Congrats on your 200 years, Petersburg. There was also the Monroe City Festival going on also and again on both events, we couldn't go because the 12th year of the Winslow Community Festi- val and Light Up Winslow Parade was going on in sev- eral places. Friday night all our groups were out setting up what they could for the all day and night old fashioned family fun in Winslow. Up town was the flea market, stage with bands, dunking booth, Winslow Masonic Lodge, blown ups, and more like the exotic Petting Zoo where Kyana spent some time at. The frozen T-shirt was one event Norm, Kyana, and I entered into with a total of 20 + children and adults. The winner of the adult was in 17 minutes for him to thaw out the shirt and put it on as the rest of us were still strug- gling with ours. The winner of the youth sizes had his put on a few minutes after that. I am truly sorry I didn't get your names but I am still trying to find out. Both win- ners are from Winslow. I will enter this event again. Our shirt says "I chilled out at the Winslow Communi- ty Festival." We all laughed a lot and it was refreshing when you finally got your frozen t-shirt on, if even for a minute. At Millers Field were po- ny rides and paint ball but no I didn't go down there. Josh Popp and the weight lifting was another event I couldn't make. At the Gazebo by the bridge the Swampbillies played where I heard some songs and people honked as they passed by. Another event at the Pa- toka River was to float down the river to the park – a two mile trip. This was a big hit because, most of them, this was their first Kayak ride. There were way over 50 floaters with the Kayak Ma- fia. One day we will do this sport, everyone had a great time. The Winslow Lions Club which Norm and I helped out was at the Riverside Park and it was a happening place. The Tractor Show had 10 tractors shown and the Prettiest Tractor was Tom Lee – 1954 Ford "NA A"; Old- est Tractor was Gary Tooley 1949 John Deer "M", Ugliest Tractor was Ron Cromer – Allis Chalmers "WD45" 4x4. The shuttle services were a big seating area to hold 48 people and the driver on the tractor was Jimmy Hughes. He was a busy star as he took quite a few dozen stars from the Riverside Park to the Marin Street to the new bridge (where the Kayak en- tered the Patoka River) and then to the Riverside Park, and then to the Riverside park to start the transport all over again. We had a stage where the music of Lowell Thomas and two friends played and sang a range of songs. We also had a couple he played gui- tar and she sang. Vernon Arnold told two of his big whoppers before he left for New Harmony for the Big Whoppers Con- test. His first Whopper was the "Winslow Mosquito and Tick Export Company." The Karaoke Contest was four singers who placed 1st Suzanne Wood, 2nd Kyle Hartley, 3rd Ashley Kemp, and 4th Kyana Hensley. They were all very good in the two rounds. The three legged sack race was won by Jeanette Bertram and Barb Sweet. I asked almost everyone, but only one said I'll be your partner. We got a medal- lion for 1st place, bragging rights, a light bracelet, and a small feed bag of sweet treats. We both kept our pace in the gunny sack and again we had fun. Let's do it again next year Jeanette. There were games like putt-putt, basketball, a bal- loon dart game, and the blown up slide where loads of kids came away with a stuffed animal and the Li- ons Kiddie train was seen throughout the park. The Chili Cook-Off had four entries where Sher- ry Small won and People's Choice went to Amber Stro- bel. Another new event was the Bake off with entries and Sherry Small won, with Peo- ple's Choice going to Mar- lene Erwin. Congrats to all. The Winslow Lions served breakfast, lunch sandwiches, and a dinner place of pulled pork and a ticked was given to win two steak dinners to Taylors II and the ticket drawn was Ja- mie Abell. We served quite a few hungry stars plus we al- so ran out of many of the fa- vorite foods served, but not the ice cream. Since this day, Sept 16, was Don Bolin's birthday they had some of this sweet treat. Don had butter pecan and Rene had my favorite Strawberry. The Lions, every year, had out a plaque for Lion of the Year, this year was Rosella Hill and the Citizen of the Year was Frieda Bolin. Be- sides the plaque Rosella got a cute little Lion and Frieda received a bouquet of flow- ers. Uptown and later at the park we all were enter- tained by Laif the amazing magician who amazed all of us with his card tricks, rope trick, and other tricks. He used several stars to help him and they were all stunned. If you have a chance to see Laif please do so, you won't be disappoint- ed. There was also a time that you could get on stage and sing your favorite songs, it was great to hear Lucy sing. Then came the 12th An- nual Light Up Winslow Pa- rade were we had new en- tries and entries that come every year. The Grand Mar- shal this year was Josh Mc- Donald of Mac's Heating and Air. I know there is a list of entries we had but the count I don't know. Everyone there were so beautiful in the way they used their lights and Norm said there are several that have said they will be in our 13th Light Up Winslow Parade in 2018. Squad 5 won People's Choice, Winslow Beautification Commit- tee won Most Original, Di- no Mites won Most Use of Lights, and Benny Thomas won Most Authentic with a $50 Igloo gift certificate! Everyone in our eyes were all winners cause they all were lit up in their own idea and everyone on the parade route were many all along Main St. I loved it so much that I got to wave at every- one. I was on the Winslow Lions flow with the winners of the Winslow Lions Pag- eant with their sashes and crowns throwing out candy to the kids. Norm and Dee did a fine job lining up the parade en- tries and to all who were in our parade and to the onlookers we are all truly grateful you all came. The Winslow Beautification and the Winslow Lions are real- ly pleased at the many stars who came and enjoyed the events and attractions that was there as we all had that one day to forget every- thing and enjoy the fun with friends and family. I know I have left out someone so if I did tell me and I will put you in the col- umn next week. The Lions had their Indiana Lions Vi- sion Screening and I got my eyes screened so did some of our other stars. The Vi- sion Screening goes to our schools also. We just found out that Vernon got 3rd place at the Big Whoppers Contest Sat- urday, "Why Not to text & drive." Congrats Vernon. It's time to stop my ram- blings for this week but to all our stars who were in Winslow Saturday I hope you all had plenty of fun and we will see you all next year at the same 3rd Saturday in September and the same places in our little Town of Winslow. Keep an eye on family and friends, slow down, and al- ways smile, wave, and say Hi to everyone you see this week.

However, he cautions not to use this all the time as the child will learn this as their primary coping skill. As they get older they may learn that distraction is a way to avoid doing what they don't want to do, (i.e. math problems). Hopefully this article is a reminder to parents that you are not alone; there are re- sources available if you are interested or feel you need assistance. Dr. Baker's book is just the tip of the iceberg. Also, remember, throw- ing a good tantrum is part of a toddler's job and a par- ent's rite-of- passage. And yes, despite everyone's best efforts, sometimes you buy the toy and leave the store or exit the restaurant as quick- ly as possible.
