Main St., Petersburg 812-582-0850 Sweet's Column by Barbara Sweet What do famous authors J.K. Rowl- ing and Ernest Hemingway and geni- uses Nikola Tesla and Bill Gates all have in common? They walk. Walking allows them to think clearly, form ideas, brainstorm with colleagues during meetings, and cure writer's block, just to name a few. Science has confirmed that walking ignites creative ability. Stanford Uni- versity conducted research that found that walking boosts creative output by 60 percent. The same complex brain structures needed to stand upright, co- ordinate body movements and stay bal- anced are the same structures that al- low us to access our enlightened cog- nitive abilities. The left hemisphere of the brain is associated with logical thinking, while the right is associated with creativity. The act of walking and shifting from one foot to the next, which coordi- nates movements, increases commu- nication between both hemispheres of the brain. As mentioned earlier, writ- ers who experience writer's block may be particularly fond of walking since creative writing requires both left and right brain functions. Another creative process that walk- ing helps encourage is called cogni- tive pause. This process is necessary for creative thinking because it allows us to break free from our preconcep- tions and empty our minds of old worn- out ideas. When we "pause and unload," we give our minds permission to relax and be present. This may help explain why creative genius usually happens at odd times like in the shower or upon wak- ing from a nap. Walking is naturally meditative. Through light exercise, our muscles release tension which helps distract the mind. The act of walking is rhyth- mic with each step and swing of the arm. Rhythm lowers brainwave fre- quency, as this effect is closely relat- ed to meditation. This could help ex- plain why people gravitate to and find such pleasure in walking. I have seen positive outcomes when I take students that I work with at school for walks. The mixture of fresh air and light exercise creates a space for the kids to "pause and unload." No matter the need of the student, walking always seems to give them permission to relax and be in the mo- ment. I notice the same in myself, as I am more aware and better able to serve them. I encourage each of you to give your- selves permission to take a break and go for a walk. You will come back to your tasks with fresh eyes and a better frame of mind. Happy walking!

We received no postcards this week at Sweets Col- umn, Winslow, IN 47598. Winslow Patoka River must have been a picture perfect scene with all the snow that blanketed the ar- ea on Veterans Day. That day to honor all our service men and women began with rainfall at 11 a.m. Then at 3 p.m., the sleet was heard and at 4 p.m. until late in the evening, the snow- flakes began that brought three inches, plus the drop in temps into the teens with a wind chill in the single digits. The next day was so bad with slide-offs from the road conditions that the ar- ea schools were closed. A f- ter a few days of the winter mix, the temps began to rise again into the 40s, then the 50s, so we can again en- joy the fall weather, if only for a short time. I hope you all saw the fall colors before they fell to the ground. They were so col- orful for a few weeks, and then the winds began and some of the colors disap- peared. But there was still beauty in the colors that were left. Now most of the trees are bare, but some have the rust colors and the bare trees have branch- es that have character in their limbs. The weekend before we saw Kyana and Daniel for a short visit and when Mom and Granny saw some- one standing next to her, she realized it was her great-granddaughter, Kya- na, and they gave each oth- er a big hug and kiss. Aunt Terri got a big hug and kiss also. Kyana also got to strum Norm's Gibson. Saturday, Nov. 9 was la- dies' night at Petersburg Hardware. This year, I brought my daughter, Lau- ra, with me. She was the driver. My mom, Mildred, and my sister, Terri Ann, al- so came with me and they really enjoyed their time. There were several games and prizes to be won. Mom and I won on almost every game. The food was really tasty. As I was standing in line to play a game, I heard my name over the intercom telling me I had a phone call from Santa. He asked me if I was going to be good for the coming weeks and I said I would try to be good. All of us ladies would love to say we enjoyed the fun and REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Richard Poehlein conveys to Friends of the Patoka River National Wildlife Refuge and Management Area, Inc., real estate as recorded in Pike County.
