Sweet's Column by Barbara Sweet CASTLE Continued from page 4 acter of the home: "Sure, those floor-to-ceiling win- dows are nice, but please tell me they do not shut. Did you make a nice terrarium for Hunter the shower-lov- ing huntsman in your new marble powder room? " Perhaps I'm being over- ly sentimental. Everything that made the Castle impos- sible to live in is gone. But everything that made it won- drous to live in is gone, too. There are no more round- ed tower walls. No more turrets. And I'm guessing there's no more herb grow- ing on the roof. (Although, I am highly considering tres- passing to climb up the roof and check.) I can't blame the new own- er. The location is sublime. Perhaps that's what makes me so sad about the knock- down renovation. The "cas- tle on the hill" was some- thing the town's children looked up to on their dai- ly rides to school. It was fodder for the deepest and most shallow imaginations, because it was attainable. Youngsters rode their bikes up the steep hill to pass the home in person, to see the sun hit the turrets up close. They saw that it was nothing more than an old house that had fallen into disrepair. Or perhaps they saw something of magic as creatures such as snakes, lizards and mice ran in and out of the home's unpatched holes, making the Castle their own. I'd always thought I'd buy the Castle someday. Now per- haps I'll find a way to make it live on in a cartoon on the other side of the world.

The Patoka River in Winslow was down low, but we have had some more rain on August 31 that was heavy show- ers. With the high temps and humidity, the river did not rise much at all. Then on Thursday, September 6 and into the weekend, the rain from Gordon began, and it started out with heavy droplets and then a full on downpour that last- ed a few hours. Since I'm writing on Friday and the storm is still coming to this area over the weekend, the forecast has a flood watch, so we all hope in our area we will be okay for September 15 Winslow festivities. Several of our stars have had some allergic reactions from some medicine, and I understand how the irritating itch- ing can drive you up a wall, so to speak, but we hope the creams and other antibiotic helps soon. In our Brownstown part of Winslow, we have seen a doe in the yards at night, and it's so nice to see them again. Also in our area, we have smelled the scent of a skunk, but have not seen one yet. The squirrel is stock- ing up his share of nuts for the winter, and when the humidity lets up a bit, our wood piles will increase. Wayne's daughter, Shante, and her oldest daughter, Kaydence, are back home again in Indiana. Welcome back. How was your Labor Day? We stayed home and in the air-conditioned house. No cookout this year. We hope that you enjoyed your day and had fun. I wrote last week that as of yet, the banner for September 15 wasn't up, but as of Tuesday, September 4, the town workers did a great job putting it up. It is flying high over Main Street in Winslow to advertise our Winslow Community Festival and Light-Up Winslow parade for the 13th year of fun for all our stars. All of us who put this event on hope to see all our former stars who come each year and all our new stars as we all en- joy this day together and forget the prob- lems of the day. We hope to see all our family and friends all day and into the night. Oh yeah, Norm has an item for the Light-Up Winslow parade this year, and now we have to sit it in the truck. Do you have your item ready? We can't wait to see you all there with your lit up item, or as you all stand on Main Street from Union to the Sports Field. As these days go by, the festival and the parade will soon be here, and with the many events going on this month, we all hope this year is as much fun as the last 12 years we have been. As the lights begin to dim on this week's ramblings in our small town we call home, keep an eye on family and friends, slow down and enjoy all the won- ders in your area. Most of all, always smile, wave and say Hi to everyone you see this week.
