We were saddened to hear of the passing of Kevin Hall, 61, on Sept. 24. The citizens of Winslow have set up a me- morial for Kevin on the bench by Lugnutz, with memories to guide him on his peaceful jour- ney. To all his sisters, broth- ers and friends, remember all the great times you enjoyed and share with others, and more memories will be add- ed. Winslow will miss him.

There were two postcards this week at Sweets Column, Winslow, IN 47598. The first postcard is a white water scene of the The Devil's Bathtub, a pothole formed by the constant swirl of water, which carries pebbles and sand around in one spot, gradually boring a hole down- ward into the rock. It is locat- ed in Logan, Ohio. The post- card reads, "Hi, Sweets. Have a great day and be safe. Janie Tormohlen." The second postcard has a waterfall down the mountain of rocks with a stone bridge called Visitors Bridge. Up- per Falls welcomes visitors to Old Man's Cave State Park. The water tumbles under an arched bridge and continues the magnificent gorge of the park. This postcard reads, "Hi, Sweets. Have a good one. Janie Tormohlen." Janie, we loved to hear from you and thank you for sending these two postcards from the park near Logan, Ohio. Winslow Pato- ka River is high again, but our rain in Winslow was about a half an inch. The Ohio and White Rivers are up also. The temps have been in the middle to high 90s with a night- time temp in the low 60s, when the windows are opened and the fans turned on. The leaves are starting to fall and also change their colors of red, yellow and bronze. You can see some trees that have colors on one side or the very top. The many fields of corn are being harvested, as well as a few bean fields. Have you ev- er seen a box squirrel in your area? Well, we haven't, but that changed last week. In the lot, we came across one dark gray body with a white tail and black tip. Our other three squirrels are all gray. They all have been collecting nuts and our new squirrel had a nut in his mouth. In the neigh- borhood, we welcome Buddy, a rescue dog who will live at Janie and Mitch's house with their other dog, who is also a rescue animal. Fall has also put the decorat- ing spirit and all those yards look really great. Some yards have flowers and other yards have scarecrows, corn stalks, pumpkins and other have the Halloween spirit, with witch- es and graveyards. Then on I-64, I believe, close to the blue bridge, is a cut out of the pumpkin coach, and the prince and Cinderella on a hill. The 57 Bones family is on the zip line across the yard and the drive- way. They're still having fun. Sept. 24 and 25 was the Spurgeon-Monroe Festival. The Friday night movie in the park was "Shaggy Dog" and Saturday fun began with a pancake breakfast, before the Pike Co. Tractor Drive left on their drive. Norm and I got there for lunch, so we had a pulled pork sandwich, chips and a drink. There was music all day. We saw Lisa, Scotty, Keith, Melvin, Maverick, and Danny, and we met a new fire- man. I'm bad on names, unless I write it down. Before we left, we saw Leroy and Brandon. The pictures of the tractor drive were in last week's paper and we found out that 19 trac- tors participated in this event, which was great. I hope to make next year's drive around Pike County on the backroads. Our journeys this week were on North 57 to almost I- 70 through fields of farmland and open countryside, then to Ferdinand and Dale, then 41 to Evansville. We passed by Reitz High School before we found Riverside Drive to see a barge go up the Ohio. Buoys were marked in the river be- cause it was so high. Kyana and Daniel stopped by for a visit and Kyana walked up the back steps and hurt her shin, as one of the steps broke. She is okay, but has a sore shin for a few days. January 1, 2010, was the birth of several true Heinz 57 dogs and Mitzy was one of those dogs. For 11 years, she was a watch dog and compan- ion to Mom, and now Norm and I. She was a great dog who was also raised with an 11-year-old cat, Sunshine, who is near the end of his years. Sweets Column Halloween Yard Decoration in the city limits of Winslow will be com- ing up and one of the treats I give will be a gourd we got from Greg that he grew. I know I don't have enough for all the yards decorated for Hallow- een, so off to get more treats. Time to dim the lights for this week, but keep an eye on family and friends. Slow down and see all the wonders in your area. Wear your mask inside for the safety of others, and social distance. Smile when you see the yard at the old Ind 64 cutoff in Arthur of blowups and other Halloween items, so drive slower to see every- thing. As always, smile, wave and say "hi" to everyone you see this week. REAL ESTATE TRANSFERS James H. Gray and Robert A. Whitaker convey to Der- ek S. Ruppel and Cheyenne R.

With the hot dogs and white pants of Labor Day a speck in the distance last week, news outlets informed everyone that Christmas was 100 days away. First of all, how dare they. Second of all, it was mere moments before consumer panic set in. Retail experts proclaimed that we MUST. START. SHOPPING. NOW. We will have no gifts other- wise. The children will weep. Christmas trees will be bar- ren, but for little pieces of pa- per that say, "It's on the way." It's very dramatic. A report- er on "Today" actually said, "if you fail to prepare, prepare to fail," a quote sometimes at- tributed to Benjamin Frank- lin. If he did actually say that, he was probably talking about, you know, expanding mail ser- vice to Montreal as postmas- ter. He wasn't talking about getting his mitts on an L.O.L Surprise doll. True, there's more reason than usual to freak out (does one need a reason?). Sup- ply chains are a mess due to the pandemic, with shuttered factories, worker shortages and jammed ports. It's not just gifts. Some are forecast- ing shortages of groceries and suggesting people order Thanksgiving turkeys as soon as possible. Point taken, but I decline! No thank you! Where am I go- ing to store a whole turkey for more than two months? I am not Ma Ingalls! Also, every- one will be secretly relieved when there's no dry turkey at the table. They will act disappoint- ed anyway, be- cause we are trapped in an endless bour- geois charade, but we know the truth. Look, there is only one thing to do here, and that is to can- cel the holidays until the world gets its act together. There will be no Christmas, no Ha- nukkah, no Thanksgiving. If you want to have a small reli- gious observance, the courts will allow it. But we are in no position to have bloated ex- changes of merchandise and merriment. Instead, you may choose one or more of the following pandemic-era holidays: • Winter Solstice Proces- sion of Writing Letters to Lo- cal Representatives • Everyone Trades Socks Eve • Feast of Explaining to Kids That We Must Continue to Make Sacrifices and They'll Understand One Day the Way We Now Understand What Our Grandparents Did for Us • Saint Dolly Parton Day • Viking Yule Strength of Character Display • I Can't Believe People Are the Way They Are Bank Holiday • Annunciation of Let's Just Order Pizza Again • Regift Stuff You Bought On- line During the Pandemic Festival of The Sun • Annual Cel- ebration of Can- celling Trips We Planned to Take When We Thought Everything Was Going Back to Normal • I'm Still on Hold and I'd Just Like to Speak to A Hu- man Being Jubilation of Fa- ther Time • We Got Disconnect- ed and Now I'm 18th In the Queue Memorial Blowout • Maybe In 2022 Devotion- al Gathering Stephanie Hayes is a colum- nist at the Tampa Bay Times in Florida.
