A reflected memoir recalling a 12-year-old choosing to skip trick or treating, carving a pumpkin with a knife scar, and handing out candy instead. The piece traces childhood costumes from an organ grinder and a cat to a teen bright lightening bug, noting mishaps, safer treats, and the lasting lure of Halloween as a stage for identity and danger.
A bill collector asks a debtor to sign for a dollar in a brief, humorous moment. The line suggests a light exchange amid financial pressures as the speaker seeks a small signed acknowledgment.
In Anawalt, Jack Heffinger collects signed dollar bills as a hobby and earns about three to four dollars weekly. He keeps the dollars hidden and won’t spend them, but if he can’t produce one when asked, he pays two dollars to the requester and contributes fifty cents to his daughter’s WVU education. Heffinger also spends time picking up litter and muses on the oddity of the currency hobby.
A reader asks how to recover funds from a lawyer who did not complete work or reimburse. Kathy Kish suggests contacting the West Virginia Bar Association or the Virginia Bar Association, or hiring another lawyer to sue. The column invites further general-interest questions.
