Carol Perkins: Life's Chapters

Previous Column: Them Bones

By Carol Perkins

I once thought of writing a book called "Chapters." After all, life is divided into chapters, depending on how many years we are given.

In thinking about my chapters, I would naturally begin with my birth. I was born at my grandmother's Sullivan's home, but within the year my new home was completed (mostly) and we moved to the location where my mother lives today.

My house was a 40s craftsman with a pitched roof, which was good for playing ante-over. I never knew life without an indoor bathroom with a tub except my overnight stays at my grandparents' houses.

A distress signal to memorize to help others

A silent signal allowed a missing 16-year-old girl to be rescued. The story went viral since the event last week and it's one to remember. The hand signal to memorize has three steps: palm up, thumb tucked, fingers covering the thumb.

The signal, created by the Canadian Women's Foundation, is the hand signal that the missing teen flashed through the car window toward passing cars.

The girl was able to demonstrate the silent signal to someone who had also seen it on the social media website TicToc and recognized that she was possibly giving a signal she was in danger.
