Show THE SAN JUAN RECORD Wednesday, November 3, 2004 Spooky Halloween It seems like stale news now: the La Sal Halloween of 2004. Halloween occurred October 26 in La Sal and it is a good thing too, as the real October Halloween date was blustery and verrrrry cold! The 26th was blessedly balmy, for a Halloween night. Another usual un- occur- rence this year was that things was worth every penny of the fiver I spent on tickets to win!) Todd McKee and Ray Hall provided targets for the really wet sponge toss. What I mean is, they were the targets. Kids get some sort of perverse pleasure out of pelting adults, even if it is with just a wet FROM SIERRA LA SAL by Maxine Deeter on time!

The winners in the costume contest are: in the age zero to five group: Most original was the cute little lady bug Taya Lathrom (granddaughter of in the above costume winners. Errors are due to the fact that I could not read the notes written by the person recording all of this at the carnival. That is what you get for taking your own notes! The carnival ended at 8:30 and the kids headed for the parking lot for Trunk or Treat. Thank you, Mother Nature, for the pleasant evening for the kids to do Halloween. The kids march around making a stop at each trunk (or truck bed) and in no time their goody bags are filled with enough sugary stuff to kill a small sized horse or to keep a normal kid hyper for most of the UEA break and then some. A very limited amount of trick or treating goes on in La Sal these days. The next evening, Mother Nature again blessed us with fleeting enough clouds that the full eclipse of the moon was visible. That too, was somewhat eerie as the moon turned a murky brown as it eclipsed and flitted in and out among the clouds. The Seniors group in La Sal wishes to thank all those who took part in the recent bazaar and bake sale. This includes Debbie Orvin and Kelly, Roger Ms. Leeson). Funniest was these parts.

Thats kind of how I felt when the CNN radio news came on early Sunday mornI irt ing and the commentator asked, What time is it where you live? Are you SURE? Well, I thought, I think I am. I was in a state of wakefulness when the radio turned itself on at its preset time, so that meant it must be six. But whether it was really six depended on whether my husband (the resident clock setter) had set the clocks back or not. What time is it? I asked him. Six. Six Daylight Savings Time or Six Mountain Standard Time? Uh, five, he confirmed. Good thing this happens on a Sunday. On weekdays he has to leave for work before 7 a.m. However, our children were no less confused. Do we go to church at nine, now? they asked. No, that time change is the assure them. Today we go at the same time, only its an hour first of January, I later than it was last Sunday. But its the same time we went last January, before the first Sunday in April changed it to an hour earlier. So, Mom, well be going at 11:00 but it will feel like 10:00? No, well be going at 11:00 but it will feel like 12:00, so you better eat lunch before you go. Saturday, my first born son had asked which night it was the clocks metamorphosed, Saturday or Sunday? Dont you remember, I asked him, when your eighth birthday was on the last Sunday of October and you were baptized that morning? Your aunt and uncle who are never on time for anything were there 20 minutes early because they didnt remember the time change. This year, because his birthday was before the last Sunday of October, he just turned one year older. That year he turned one year and one hour older. The expression, Spring ahead, fall back, doesnt mean much if one doesnt know on which day to do it. I got up when the alarm went off at 5:00. My body clock doesnt shift as easily as the mechanical ones. I wandered through the house, reversing the clocks, hoping my husband hadnt already done it the night before, or wed be an hour late getting to church. It took a full hour to change the clocks so I didnt gain anything, but neither did I lose it. That would be, of course, only if I go to bed an hour earlier tonight, which would be my old time rather than the new time since I got up this morning an hour earlier than the new time. No, wait, maybe Im confused. They say the onset of Alzheimers can be detected by whether or not a person can draw the face of a clock properly. Im not surprised by that at all. &TAXH 0 i y.
