We received a note from Janie Tormohlen: "Hi Sweets, I thought you would enjoy reading an- other story about the res- ervations in the west. Have a great spring and sum- mer. I plan to visit Port- land this summer and will mail you some postcards." Thanks, Janie, for the clip- ping and it will be in next week's column. You have a nice summer also and I love to go on vacation through the postcards, so I'll be checking the mailbox. Storms were in the area but none were too damag- ing. The temper- atures were cold a few days but warmer weather will soon be here. It's been nice to sit outside or even do some mowing and get the yard in order again. I hat- ed to see the mowing take away the small yellow, pur- ple and white flowers that show us spring is here. Little League baseball games have begun in Win- slow and Petersburg. If you have the time, it will be worth your while to see the excitement they have for the American past time. Play- ers have loads of fun and coaches remember it's on- ly a game of fun. Saturday was the Cul- pepper and Merriweather Circus in Winslow where a hand full of citizens came to see the big tent being raised and that was a sight to see as the crew set everything in place. The poles were put in place then the tent began to rise on one side, then the other side, and soon, the top of the big tent rose with the flags flying in the air. I'm so glad I was there to see this sight in Winslow. If you ev- er get a chance to see a cir- cus tent go up, please do so. Leon, who is also the clown, was our spokesman and he took us around to see the animals and give us in- formation on the animals, and the many performers and workers. Most of them are family members. They enjoy Winslow because of the friendliness and help- fulness for their needs. The hit of the circus was the new attractions, the ti- gers Sampson and Delilah, and the lion Francis. There were also dogs and horses, ponies and one little mule. The show also included tra- peze, tight rope walkers, a contortionist that was 11 years old, a double wheel act, where one perform- er walks on the outside of a wheel blindfolded, a bal- ance on a bowling ball and on wooden planks or steps five high, plus a unicycle act from a family of six. They had a time in the show where you could get a bag of peanuts and if there was a winner in the bag, you get a wind streamer, which a lot of kids and adults re- ceived. Kyana won a prize of an orange blown up bear on a stick for coloring a picture of a clown. The Winslow Lions ap- preciate all those who at- tended and the workers who helped in any way. Several Lion members had their faces painted from one of the performers and Kyana had the face of a cat. Lucy, Vanessa and Cheyan- na had different faces to en- joy the fun time. The crowd was small for the first show but they all had a great time. Karen Brossman was our guest. She and her mother have had some interesting an- imals as pets through the years and she has pictures of them. On Friday, Norm was to meet someone from the cir- cus at the area behind the school. He was there at the same time the students were on a marathon and all of them said "Hi Norm." As he was about to introduce himself to the circus guy, what was funny, the cir- cus guy said, "so you must be Norm and they both laughed at what had just happened. As the lights begin to dim on this week, look in on fam- ily and friends, slow down and enjoy life and always smile, wave and say "hi" to everyone this week.
