On the back it has Visit Metropolis, Il- linois "Home of Superman" It reads: To Sweets Column, Had a great time in Metropolis! Kyana and Laura Hensley. Thank you Kyana and Laura for our postcard # 626 of Metropolis. On the back it has the Metropolis, Illi- nois stamp that Laura showed me on her phone when they came back in- to Winslow. Then when the postcard came in the mail she showed us the pictures at Metropolis and the statue of Superman is so tall that Kyana could stand under him. Road trip! In Winslow, over the past week, it's been hot and humid with temps in the high 80s with a head index of 90 to 95. I'm so glad it is summer now, but as I have said that statement we might get our spring temps back. You know the jacket weather, just kidding Moth- er Nature. I know I'm not as funny as Norm is. Anyway, we haven't had too much rain in the past two week until Wednesday night we had lightning and thunder and a defining rain so hard on the tin roof it woke us up. Then on Sun- day, Father's Day, it rained in the morn- ing hours then again in the evening and at times, again, you could hard- ly hear the other person talk. I'm glad we got the rain and so are the trees, flowers, and yes the grass. The humid- ity has went into the normal range but the mosquitoes are taking over again. The ticks just love me because I have got a tick off me almost every day, but they have been seen crawling and not embedded except one early in the sea- son. You guys haven't heard from Norm in a few weeks so, Here's Norm. Alright, Thank you, Barb. Here is a shout out to all of you who took the time to shop by and read Sweet's Col- umn. We hope all the Fathers out there had a good one, rather it was a big one or a small one and we took a second to remember the ones who had passed. Yes my daughter treated me to din- ner where we ran into a bunch of oth- er dads that we know. A fter exchang- ing the Happy Father's Day, there's one question, "Where have you been? " I've been working on the cabin. Then they all said, "It's good to see you again" and I said, right back at you. Speak- ing of catching up, last Saturday Barb and I caught up with the Winslow Li- ons Club and we will always give them a hand, where once again, "where have you been" and yes you know it, "working on the cabin" and yup, "it's good to see you again, Norm." While at the flea market we saw many of old friends such as Susan Craig, cool, al- so one of my old boss Gary Anderson, who knows of the fun of working on a cabin. Ha-ha. Then he showed, by his phone, his cabin and I did the same, this brought to mind, I wonder just how many log cabins are in Pike County? Anyway where was I? Oh yeah, then I learned of the Clog the Patoka on Ju- ly 8th. Just what is that I asked. It is an event for Kayak, inner tubes, boats, to float on the Patoka River from the un- finished new bridge to Riverside Park. Clemmy Chris Clement is the man to get ahold of. The Winslow Lions Club will be feeding them BBQ, Hot Dogs, & something to drink. Sounds like a good time to me! And I love the name of the event! Hold on folks, someone is knocking on the cabin door. I'll be right back! Ok, well that was wild Tim Wheeler and his woman Jeannette stopped by. Now I can say I went on a ride with Tim on a trike. I can cross that off of my list. Here are some words of wisdom, I think? Make sure you don't start war's for in the end you may win the battle, but you will lose the war. Plus, nobody wins in a war as most of Winslow al- ready knows, That's wrong! More on that next week and thanks one and all for reading. Be kind and take a second to help not hurt! Thanks, Norm, for your input and I didn't get a ride on the Trike. Laura and Kyana went Metropolis, Ill but on the way there they stopped off and saw Grandma Mildred and when they came back home they saw a rainbow ahead of them but there was no rain in their area. Just ahead of them where the rainbow was seen they saw the formation of storm clouds that they would soon be into some rain. They also took another road trip to the Falls of the Ohio and to see those pic- tures and the history behind it all is another place to visit one day in Jeffer- sonville. This was a busy week for Kya- na as she went to the Toyota Plant for a tour of Robotics with the 4-H. They all had hands on and made a Toyota coin and saw how cars are painted and the oiling of a door all done by robotics. At the Riverside Flea Market there we 11 vendors plus the Winslow Lions who served breakfast and lunch. The weather was a little hot but the breeze made it comfortable. The next date to check it all out for that item you need is July 15. I know this is pretty early but if you don't start early it won't get finished in time and that is – Do you know what you will light up in the original Light Up Winslow Parade on September 16? I think we know what we will light up but now we have to figure out what lights to use and get them. See you there at the Sept 16 Light Up Winslow Parade, this is our 12th year. Time for the lights to dim on this weeks ramblings, but keep an eye on family and friends, slow down, and al- ways smile, wave, and say Hi to every- one this week. SWEETS Continued from page 5 "I didn't think about it." As a Youth First Social Worker in a middle school, this is a statement I hear multiple times per week. Impulse control and the ability to predict future consequences for pres- ent decisions are difficult concepts for the adolescent brain to process. Cou- ple this with a fast-paced society that expects immediate feedback and grati- fication, and the challenge to think be- fore acting becomes understandably difficult. Students today are navigating life and relationships in a world primarily composed of red and green – stop and go – with no time for yellow - the pause. Fifteen years ago, before the advent of social media, the pause allowed stu- dents to re-think their actions and tear up a hate-filled note they wrote to a peer the night before. The pause often prevented the neg- ative consequences that accompany intense emotions. Now, without the pause, students type a hate-filled text and press send. A text cannot be torn up, and the ramifications are often im- mediate. The pause has been hijacked by so- cial media, texting and email. Thus, when students tell me, "I didn't think about it," I know they did not think through the situation and possible con- sequences. Furthermore, many kids have not been taught how to do this. The following tips will help teach kids how to pause before acting. • For younger children, use the vi- suals of a stoplight to guide the child in thinking through a real situation or made-up scenario. This will help in- still the concept of thinking through possible consequences before acting. Begin at red, or stopping, to describe the situation; move to yellow, thinking through what may have been the rea- son for the situation as well as possi- ble outcomes for different consequenc- es; finally, move to green, choosing the action that will yield the best results. • To capture an adolescent's at- tention, use famous athletes or mov- ie stars to demonstrate how quickly lives can change by one action. Simi- lar to the stoplight illustration, discuss the situation, the action taken, the con- sequences of the action, and how a dif- ferent action may have created a differ- ent consequence. • If children are using texting, email and/or social media, discuss waiting a set amount of time before sending a message about a volatile issue. This is an important part of demonstrating the maturity needed to have a social media account or phone. Make it a non-nego- tiable expectation. • For children of all ages, explain how the brain works and processes emotions as well as the areas of the brain responsible for impulse control. This gives kids an understanding of how their brains are equipped to deal with intense emotions. For more in- formation please review the article, "Teaching Students: A Brain Owner's Manual," by Dr. Judy Willis. If you have a child that would ben- efit from additional skills training in impulse control, please contact your school's Youth First School Social Worker or a licensed mental health professional.
