The Patoka River has gone down but the White River crested on Friday, June 25. The air conditioner was on un- til Monday, June 21 when a cold front came in from the northwest that cooled us off from 85 to the middle 50s. Then we were in the middle 70s on Tuesday, when the windows were open and the air was off. This didn't last long and the air was turned on again by the weekend as the temps and humidity both went up. Part-time town workers are still being dropped and hired. You might see Ethan and Terry work with Nathan and Norm. Friday, June 18, before dark, I had looked outside to see where the banging noise was coming from and lo and behold, I had to call Norm up from his sleep to see the two-point young buck in the yard eating the mulberries that had fallen to the ground. The noise didn't bother him and our neighbors had no idea he was grazing until he started to walk down the road to the back woods. When Charlie Norrick was alive, he would always see several deer passing through from one woods to another. Even the headlights from the loud truck didn't bother him. Our adventure from Princeton to Fran- cisco took us to the Wheeling Bridge and then we just took one road to see where it went. Then at a T or a Y, we took that road and tried not to get on a rock road. We al- most did. There is a small town with sev- eral houses that we passed through and soon, we ended up in an area where Divi- sion Road is, but soon we were on High- way 57, south of Bell Hill Road. It's a nice area to see with narrow roads, few houses and farmland, a few churches and cemeteries. Father's Day was a hot 90 degrees and humid, so we started for one ice cream shop, but they were closed, so off to Princeton we went to another ice cream shop. We both got a strawberry shake with bits of strawber- ries. Norm got to have a great Father's Day with a home- made meal of pork chops and a blueber- ry cream cake, and a present from Laura. In our Brownstown area, I got to see a big yard barn come down the street and then how it was placed in the yard, where the forklift was at one end and then went to the opposite end until it was in its place to be leveled up. Then they were on their way to set another smaller building up somewhere else. The Winslow Lions served breakfast and lunch to the stars who have come all over to see and be part of the Pow- er Wagon Rally in Winslow on Main St. for three days. We met stars from Wis- consin, Rich Valley, 50 miles west of Ft. Wayne, San Diego, Calif., who are also on vacation to see family near Indiana, Pennsylvania, central Ohio, Baden, Ill, near St. Louis, Mo., and Michigan. We also saw and talked to several stars in Winslow who stopped by. These were just a few of the stars who came on the first day and more were there on Friday. Matt Tisdale's power wagons were viewed in several buildings and some were driven here and on flatbeds. There are sever- al styles with some finished and some a work in progress. In our area, the cicadas have started to die and the noise isn't as loud this past week, but they are not gone yet. The Light-Up Winslow Parade will be September 18 and I was just wondering if you know what item you will be putting in the parade all lit up in lights. We would also like to know if you could help us out at every street along the route to see that no vehicles be allowed on Main St., other than those in the parade. They need to wait patiently and enjoy the parade like everyone else. Thank you for your help. As the lights begin to dim for this week, keep an eye on family and friends. Stay safe for others. Slow down and enjoy all the wonders in your area. As always, smile, wave and say "hi" to everyone you see this week. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS Jane A.

My So Called Millennial Life By Stephanie Hayes Keep bummers out of schoolbooks Maybe you've heard the term "critical race theory" at 25 -cent wing night. No? Well, you didn't come here to read a lot of words, just like students don't go to school to learn icky stuff. So, in a nut- shell: Lawmakers in 15 states want to ban teachings that imply the United States is racist, or make white people feel bad. In Florida, for example, the State Board of Education voted to keep certain lessons about racism and potty-mouth no-nos out of public schools. "Teaching kids to hate their country and to hate each other is not worth one red cent of taxpayer money," Gov. Ron DeSantis said in March. Woof, putting this into practice is go- ing to be a challenge. There's a lot to feel bad about in U.S. history, starting with "Nookie" by Limp Bizkit. If we're heading in a patriotic, feel-good direction, text- books will need a rewrite. Let's start with the McGraw Hill AP U.S. History 2020 study guide. Here are some suggested edits to get the ball roll- ing uphill. While supporters of independence were in the ascendancy and controlled the state governments, not all Americans wanted to renounce their allegiance to the moth- er country. EDIT: Actually, everyone was super in- to it. There is no such thing as a "moth- er country," more like a "cool aunt." Old Navy stores experienced a run on flag tank tops in 1776, because everyone was so supportive. Native Americans saw nothing for them- selves in the Declaration of Independence or a free Unit- ed States. While some Na- tive Americans fought with the Americans, most sup- ported the British because they feared the land hunger of the new nation. EDIT: Native Ameri- cans actually invited all the Founders to a party, and while it was awkward at first, everyone relaxed when they started a dialogue and said, "You know, I'm just not a political person." The triumphant Democratic-Republi- cans led a unified country in which they faced no significant political opposition. James Monroe was easily elected president in 1816 and served for two terms. The pe- riod from 1816 to 1823 became known as the Era of Good Feelings. EDIT: An era that we still enjoy today. The most famous group of African Amer- icans to leave the South for the West were the Exodusters. These people modeled their journey on the exodus of the Israelites from Egypt to the Promised Land. Unfortunate- ly, the West did not prove to be a land of milk and honey for most of the Exodusters; fewer than 20 percent were able to estab- lish themselves as farmers. EDIT: Upon further review, 20 per- cent is an estimate, and when you com- pensate for inflation and, um, margin of error, you will find that A frican Ameri- cans had a very fun time out West in the 1920s, due to the country not being racist. The struggle against Nazi anti-Semitism during World War II stimulated African American resistance to rac- ism at home. EDIT: The struggle against Nazi anti-Semitism during World War II, which was a German thing, stimu- lated an awareness of a few bad actors at home, and that all got handled so we're aces now. In the early 1950s, the schools for whites and African Americans were separate but hardly equal. White schools often received 80 percent to 85 percent of the educational funding in Southern school districts. EDIT: Uh. Um. Look, that cloud is shaped like a cat! Teenagers of the 1950s have been called the "silent generation" because they were generally more interested in school and socializing than politics. Par- ents and school officials discouraged re- bellious behavior. Education films shown in schools emphasized self-control and respect for authority. EDIT: This part is fine.
