ROSES & THISTLES
Ms. Tillie Clark of Sunset Rd. sent me a sympathy card when
my mother passed simply because she grew up in the same town
(Skellytown, TX) that my mother was born in. She doesn't know
me or my family, this was done out of kindness. It touched me
more than she will ever know. Please give her a rose in the paper
with deep appreciation from me & my family. Wish there were
more people like her in this world.

WINSLOW LIBRARY NEWS
We would like you to know about some upcoming events at the
library.
The summer reading program is for Grades K-4 from June 16-July

The group will meet at 10 am on Thursdays June 19 and 26 and
July 3, 10, 17 and 24. There is no fee or reservation required.
During September we are planning a genealogy event with local
experts, including Jo Ann Kyle. They will answer questions and
provide information on locating lost family members and friends.
The collection of library holdings on genealogy will be on display,
Look for time and date in next issue of Within Winslow.
Also in September a book discussion group is planned. The first
book will be The Beautiful Mystery by Louise Penny who was
named one of the best crime writers by the New York Times. This
novel is about a monastery hidden deep in the wilderness of Quebec where monks live in peace and prayer. When the choir director is murdered, Chief Inspector Gamache discovers unrest under
the silence. Before finding the killer, Gamache must consider the
divide between the divine and the human. Book selections will be
available on hold at the library ahead of time. The first gathering
to read and discuss will be September 16 at 1pm for an hour and
the book will be available August 19. Join us and discover if you

Meet the People of Winslow
By Jean Cosgrove
One advantage of working at the Winslow Library is that you hear
community news. Late fall I heard that Mack and Debbie Innis
were moving back to Winslow. They moved into Barbara Ashbaugh’s house during December 2013. Debbie Innis is working
at Washington Regional Medical Center and Mack is retired and
volunteering at the Winslow Museum.
Mack is uniquely qualified to help do a census of photos since
the Innis’s ancestors moved here in 1876 from LeMaras, Iowa.
Mack’s father, Hall Innis, was one of five children born to John
Lee and Emmaline McClendon Innis. They lived in a cabin atop
McClendon Hill on land that now has houses on “Pine Drive”.
The last Innis in Winslow was Mack’s uncle, John Innis, who died
about 1980 and is buried in Coil Cemetery along with the other
family members. Mack and Debbie will join them someday but
we hope no time soon. Winslow Welcomes You Home!

THISTLES
Huge Thistles to the person or persons who are
stealing water from Winslow Community Meals.
Go pay your bill or buy it like everyone else has
to do.
Community Meals exists to help provide meals
for those who cannot cook for themselves and as a
courtesy to the rest of the community who would
like a good nourishing noon time meal. It is a C(3)
organization and does not make a profit. Every
drop of water you steal is a penny that could be
used to buy food for these meals.
Another thing to think about is that this is theft and
if caught you will be punished. Is the water you
steal worth jail time to you?

Camping’ On THz’ Brazos
While we were playing at our dream of traveling the
world by wagon and thinking to move to the Ozarks as an intermediate step, I made an 18" X 4' paper sign for the living room wall.
No wonder our neighbors don’t understand us.
We’re hillbillies!
One summer day we took the Volkswagen into the countryside and entered a new freeway under construction; not yet
open. We pulled off the slab and parked the car partially concealed
at the edge of the Brazos River.
The area was still country, wilderness in the modern usage of the word. Real American wilderness is the way things were
west of the Mississippi in the 1700’s. The national parks aren’t
wilderness. Consider the traffic that pours through them.
The highway was awaiting construction of a bridge, so
we saw and heard no one through the afternoon as we hunted muscles and played with the children along the sandy beach below the
river bank, the water level being low.
We made our campsite around a bend and out of sight of
where the highway terminated. Under a starlit sky, we’d had dinner, the children were sleeping, the fire had died to embers, and we
were both drifting off.
Then a racket like all the banshees of hell screeching at
once!
I came off my side of the blanket like a startled cat, and
when I landed I grabbed my hat. “I’ll be right back!”
I strode toward the cacophony, driven, without a plan. An
experienced city guy and no fool, I was aware I might be heading
for trouble. That wasn’t stopping me.
But I didn’t look like a city guy. Remember, these were
the days of the supposed oil-crisis. These were the times of the
back-to-the-land-movement. These were the hippy days, only a
few years after Woodstock influenced the youth of the nation. We
had a little spoof on ourselves back then, called costumin’.
Costumin’ referred to the hippy uniform, which had a lot
of variation as well as similarities. I’d been known to hurry after
a shapely Houston girl in tight jeans with beautiful hair bouncing
against a pretty derriere, only to discover she had a beard. Yuck!
Boy Scouts wear costumes, house painters do, waitresses,
firemen, cops, airplane pilots, politicians.
I was costumin’ Gypsy-Nomad.
My black jeans had been split nearly to the knees and had
red triangles sewn in so they’d fit over my boots. We called ’em
flairs. The jeans, not the boots.
I’ve long predicted that attractive fashion would return,
and I’ve seen it a couple of times on TV, but it doesn’t seem to
have gotten popular like today’s ugly hip-hugger plumber-butt
pants.
An open green brocaded vest from a thrift shop partly
covered a blue shirt with puffy sleeves. I had a brown beard then,
and wore a round, gold-plated two inch earring when men didn’t
do that. Around my neck was a pink bandana, and my black hat
was the floppy big-brimmed sort you see pictures of organ grinders wearing—’cept this one had a hatband made of green shower
balls.
I climbed the 10 foot bank below the racket. Two cars
were parked on the opposite side of the pad from our car. A loudspeaker was blaring rock music.
Looming from the darkness, I commanded, “Turn it off!”
“What th!” objected a male voice?
“Do what he says,” said a female voice.
I turned, lay on the ground looking at the sky and in the
quiet, said: “Listen.”
Far off a farm-dog barked.
Seconds passed. Then a quarter mile away an owl hooted. A cow lowed.
I slipped down the bank and returned to the campfire.
Fifteen minutes later, two car engines started and drove
away. It was the highpoint in a lifetime of mostly-failed communications.

A Meander Through My Memories.
By Joann Klusmeyer <[email protected]>
While tooling along in another direction, Winslow, Arkansas
popped up on my screen. I enjoyed a moment of fond nostalgia
while reading the last names... So many of them familiar.
I graduated from Mountainburg High School in the good old days
of 1950. Got moved to Oklahoma on my job, but beautiful Arkansas is firmly imprinted on my memory. The consolidated school
at Mountainburg brought so many students from Winslow during
those years. After retiring, I began to write down some of those
memories.
I have an 8 book series on Amazon set within my grandmother's
memory. Series name is War Eagle River Valley with the first
book being TWIXT THE ROAD AND THE RIVER. Seven others are on line, and there will be more to come. Some other of my
books are set in Arkansas' neighbor to the west.
Within a month, I expect my new Webside, MY MOUNTAIN
MEMORIES, will be on line and it will describe all eight books.
My father was the Assembly of God preacher at a church out toward Locke, named Revis Hill.
Such a pleasurable moment! God be with you.

“Comedy Corner”
By David Gesn ©2014
Welcome to Ozark Folkways!
.
For decades our mission has been to encourage and develop the
art, crafts, and cultural heritage, development and traditions of the
Arkansas Ozarks. We offer classes in local crafts, activities for
children, and a gallery and retail space for artists and craftsmen of
the Northwest Arkansas area.
Located in historic (and historically funky!) Winslow, Ozark Folkways is where the art of today meets the craft traditions of generations past; and music, food, fun and family reach across generations to bring people together.
Apart from the everyday offerings of art and crafts, we have a
number of special events coming up over the next few months.
There’s bound to be something for you:
“The Environment and the Art”
July 14-18,
9:00 am – 12:00 noon
For kids 6-14 years old.
Learn about the great outdoors and create arts and crafts
(Very limited number of spots available.)
“Art Camp”
August 4-8,
9:00 am – 12:00 noon
Ms. Erin and Ms. Tracy come out of retirement!
On each of four days, a different local artist will show
work and lead an activity for students.
Day five will be for an exhibition of the children’s art,
including a reception.
Yes, it is July, and all of us are getting a little older. Yesterday,
I knew I was getting older when I suddenly realized I couldn’t
remember my name. Good thing I ran into someone that knew
me down at the grocery store. Talked to ‘em fifteen minute – still
don’t know who the hec they were! Went down a one-way street
going the wrong way, Cop stopped me and asked, ”Did you not
know that this is a one-way street?” I said, “Well, I wasn’t going
but one way”. He knew me and suspected my sugar level was off
and guided me home. “Oh, is this my house?” Hallelujah!
Went out on a date, afterwards we went to her house, and things
got a tad intimate. A romantic evening was in sight, and then disaster struck. I could not remember her name and called her my
“fantasy woman’s” name. Big Mistake-Huge! Long walk home!
Hallelujah! Walking along, I tried to remember why I was at some
strange woman’s house in the first place, and where did I leave my
car? And, where the hec is my dog?
Well, thought I’d go down and slap my “fantasy girl’s“ boyfriend
around a little bit and tell him if he doesn’t pop the “big question”
soon , I was going to steal his woman! About the time I got ready
to go, I remember him saying he had been in some elite group in
the military once upon a time, at least that’s what I thought he said.
Good way to get annihilated! Well, no one lives forever, but better
ways to depart – Hallelujah!
An old friend and his wife dropped by on their way to Eureka
Springs for their anniversary. He’s from South Louisiana. He was
conversing about old times, and how we once jumped out of airplanes. All the while he’s talking, I’m trying to figure out what
would have possessed me to jump out of a perfectly good flying
airplane in the first place? Two big dummies, along with some
other idiots, jumping in mid-air, falling 180 feet per second! The
one thing worthwhile forgetting and this guy wants to go up and do
it one last time. He is definitely out of his mind! I love flying, but
staying on the inside seems a whole lot more exciting! Hallelujah!
I’m not as adventurous as I once was, anymore. Some things I
give an effort to, but not on a regular basis. Surviving seems to be
a pretty good adventure in itself. Bull riding and sky-jumping is
definitely out of the question! Attempting to stay somewhat sane,
loving a fantasy woman-which has no logic to it at all, now that is
an adventure! Wonder if she knows? Wonder if she cares? Makes
absolutely no sense at all! Hallelujah! Why in the world can I not
forget her? Where’s my dog? Hallelujah!
Well I better sign off for now. July the Fourth is around the corner,
and there’s something I’m supposed to do, but I cannot remember
what it is at the moment. I hope everyone has a great holiday this
year! If – soon - you happen to see me walking around the forest
looking like I’m lost – I may be. There will be a reason why I will
be there, and thank God I wrote journals concerning the outing!
Now though, it’s time for “sleep-time”. It takes me longer to fall
asleep because I forget I can. Hallelujah!

The Cavern
By David Gesn © 2014
Why there are no bats in and around the cavern confuses me. There
are no mosquitoes inside, yet spiders are plentiful, as are different
species of other insects and salamanders. A huge soft-shell turtle
sticks his head up with that long neck of his and perches on a rock
nearby. Also the mystery continues as why snakes do not appear
thru ‘out the perimeter. Rattlers and copperheads are plentiful on
the surface up above the ceiling. Honeybees are in and out, but
wasps and yellow jackets are but a few at any given time.
The soil affect is of interest also. There is white sand, soft in
texture and yellow sand and brown included of a coarse nature.
Formations of soil content on the walls in the “Pond Room” are
different in color, red brown, black, and a “line” of white, across
the walls. Rushing water is present beneath the floor and is most
obvious in the “Chair Room” next to the southeast wall in the same
room, between and alongside the rock wall appears to be a coarse,
black gravel and sand mixture.
One mural is of hieroglyphics of birds, what looks like canoes
made of wood and possibly some type of leather, eagle and redtailed hawk and turtle. Different shapes of figures, such as triangles and lines in different arrangements. Some lines are curved,
some straight. Cat figures and what seems to be the wolf is also
present. The snake is also represented, as is the deer or stag of
some species and the bear.
In the “Mural Room”, what I initially referred to as the “Mound
Room”, there is a reverence I cannot fully explain, nor comprehend. I do not know if the mounds are burial structures or some
type of religious intent. None of us so-called explorers in the
group ever bothered anything inside “The Cavern”. We all have
camped-out inside at different intervals. The temperature inside is
constant and at night, sounds within the walls are quite interesting.
Of the “group”, two of us don’t believe – as such – in ghosts, the
remaining do. Now, though I do not believe in such things, there
are things I have experienced and seen that I could not explain.
The sounds I have heard may be due to air or gas filtering thru’ the
rock along with the pressure of air, then again ----! Within ”The
Cavern” I have not seen any sign of oil or the presence of natural
gas, not to say there is none. On one wall is the presence of a picture of a dove in between the mounds.
At night sounds do filter thru’-out the cavern and sometimes it’s
rather hard to fall asleep! There is a distinct sound of “footsteps”
and what sounds like -- well, almost like a chant in a distance. No,
I can’t explain it, but I am a non-believer,… maybe! Hallelujah!
Nothing seems to be scary or of any evilness. One of us in the
group proclaimed to have seen some type of apparition, but hesitated in describing it, but was supposedly of a human-type figure!
I was always under the impression that as a female or sow bear
was raising her cubs, that she would run the male away. Well,
approaching the entrance one fine day, lo’ and behold some sixty
yards away was a traveling family consisting of mama, papa and
two cubs. I have viewed them all together in prior visits and they
venture on past the area of concern. This must be their route of
travel on a constant basis. Hallelujah!
We never marked the entrance on purpose, but yet we did, … in a
fashion, … where we could supposedly find it at any given time.
Getting to it was always the hard part, and after a few years the
forest has a way of hiding its secrets! A man or woman could
easily get lost or a tad confused. Nothing to see a cottonmouth,
copperhead or rattler on the way and some are big whoppers! A
lot of squirrels and some deer always out and about, cubs, out on a
tromp with mamma playing here and there!
I cannot dwell enough on the concept of safety thru’ out this area,
but it’s merely common sense.
Hallelujah! (Hidden wells also exist…)
Original Blue Dawn ...
It’s Not Just For Dishes Anymore
SAVING WILDLIFE
Ever wonder why Dawn Dishwashing Liquid is the wildlife cleaner of choice after an oil spill? According to the International Bird
Rescue Research Center, Dawn effectively removes grease but
does not cause harm to the skin of the birds. It’s also biodegradable
and contains no phosphates.
BUBBLES
According to Bubbles.org, Dawn dishwashing liquid makes great
homemade bubbles. Here is the Giant Bubble Recipe used in bubble makers at many children’s museums: 1/2 cup Ultra Dawn 1/2
gallon warm water 1 tablespoon glycerin (available at any drug
store) OR White Karo syrup works too! Stir gently. Skim the foam
off the top of the solution (too much foam breaks down the bubbles). Dip bubble wand and get ready for some good, clean fun!
GREASY HAIR PROBLEMS
Kids get into the darnedest things! Like Vaseline and baby oil
rubbed into their hair! Dawn is mild enough to use on their hair
and strong enough to remove the most stubborn grease.
HAIR PRODUCT BUILDUP
Once a month use original Dawn as you would shampoo. It will
remove excess oil from your hair and scalp and strip away any
build-up of styling products without any damage. Perform this
once a month and you won’t have to buy expensive salon products
that do the same thing.
MANICURE SECRET
Soak fingers in full-strength blue Dawn. It makes the cuticles soft
and easy to work with. And it removes the natural oil from the fingernails, which allows the polish to adhere very well.
REPEL HOUSEPLANT INSECTS
A safe, effective way to repel insects from your houseplants, including aphids, spider mites and mealy bugs. Put a drop of Dawn
Dishwashing Liquid in a spray bottle, fill the rest of the bottle with
water, shake well, and mist your household plants with the soapy
water.
Pastor’s Pen
as well as in the number of grains.
GOD'S ACCURACY
God's accuracy may be observed in the hatching of
eggs.
For example:
the eggs of the potato bug hatch in 7 days;
*those of the canary in 14 days;
*those of the barnyard hen in 21 days;
*the eggs of ducks and geese hatch in 28 days;
*those of the mallard in 35 days;
*the eggs of the parrot and the ostrich hatch in 42
days.
(Notice, they are all divisible by seven, the number of
days in a week!)
God's wisdom is seen in the making of an elephant..
The four legs of this great beast all bend forward in
the same direction.
No other quadruped is so made. God planned that this
animal would have a
huge body, too large to live on two legs. For this reason He gave it
four fulcrums so that it can rise from the ground easily.
The horse rises from the ground on its two front legs
first. A cow rises
from the ground with its two hind legs first. How wise
the Lord is in
all His works of creation!
God's wisdom is revealed in His arrangement of sections and segments,
Each watermelon has an even number of strips on the
rind.
Each orange has an even number of segments.
Each ear of corn has an even number of rows.
Each stalk of wheat has an even number of grains.
Every bunch of bananas has on its lowest row an even
number of bananas,
and each row decreases by one, so that one row has an
even number and the
next row an odd number.
The waves of the sea roll in on shore twenty-six to the
minute in all
kinds of weather.
All grains are found in even numbers on the stalks, and
the Lord specified
thirty fold, sixty fold, and a hundredfold - all even
numbers.
God has caused the flowers to blossom at certain specified times during
the day, so that Linnaeus, the great botanist, once said
that if he had a
conservatory containing the right kind of soil, moisture
and temperature, he
could tell the time of day or night by the flowers that
were open and those
that were closed!
Thus the Lord in His wonderful grace can arrange the
life that is
entrusted to His care in such a way that it will carry out
His purposes and plans,
and will be fragrant with His presence.
Only the God-planned safe life is successful. Only the
life given over
to the care of the Lord is fulfilled.
I HOPE YOU FIND THIS AS FASCINATING AS I
DID .. 'WOW'!
