“mistreated” grandparents who asked me to w rite a column about the heartare ache created when grandparents denied contact and communication The letter with beloved grandchildren tells of a grandmother’s grief when a grandson who lived with her for nine months after birth was taken away as a result of divorce She can only see him on holidays At those times he runs to her throws his arms around her and says "Grandma miss you so much!” Between times there is no communication at all between grandparent and grandson This child must be experiencing feelings of uncertainty and grief over isolation from his grandparents Separation from a familiar and loved grandparent impoverishes a child immeasurably Children need the special which is relationship touched with a wonderfully indulgent accepting and caring Depriving a child of that experience in abundance is depriving him of the advantages of an extended family and a link to his past Grandparents have expertise and wisdom to share The two generations should have the opportunity to know and love one another and participate in activities and projects together The undivided love and attention grandparents lavi helps children feel worthwhile and part of the continuum of life Besides children whose parents are going through a divorce need very special attention The depression and bewilderment of their parents’ breakup many times causes serious learning problems These kids need all the assurance and love encouragement they can get Exiling children from their grandthem as well parents is “mistreating” as the grandparents who long for them 2 Millard County Chronicle Progress The J 1 Publisher I Editor Susan Dutson Editorial Mark Amotl I at Large Reporter Advertising Sales t Legal Billing Riley Wood Dawn Carder Sales t

with a 77 year old resident We were both waiting for our cars to be serviced “It takes a world of people to run this country now" he said “Things are different Especially (he kids” I tend to agree with him On lop of everything else kids especially are different Not bad Just different The US Census Bureau confirms the fact that things are definitely different for today's kids According to their statistics 59 out of every 100 kids will live with only one parent before they reach 18 Of these 12 will be born to unwed mothers 40 will be involved in divorce 5 will have parents who separate and 2 will have a parent who dies Stephen Glenn PhD identified the fact that an increasingly large number of kids were having serious life problems and he began to examine why He took what he found and organized it into a course called “Developing Capable People” I want to share some of (he concepts with you now They provide some insight into being effective parents In order for children to achieve

to “actors musicians models and the like” quote from the news article Reading the letter of the law here take it that if Laurence Olivier should stop in town and offer to recite Hamlet’s soliloquy at Curley’s Bar no minors will be allowed to hear that What if Helen Hayes became stranded outside of Stockman’s and suggested an exchange of some dialogue from Elizabeth: The Virgin Queen for protection from the desert heat? Okay but no kids huh? No minor could hear Pablo Casals in the Wagon Wheel and definitely no Leonard Bernstein Concert for Youth Hell those notes might interfere with all those bells and buzzers eminating from computer games Or the rhythmic balls syncopation of clicking pool don’t know who falls into the but category of “models and the like" then I’m convinced most lawyers don’t want to be understood anyway or else talk and so how come they write funny?

by Bob Thomas may have found “Middle America” Don’t go gambling the family fortune on the fact that I may have but Petaluma sure looks like what I’ve been looking for all these months You never heard of Petaluma you say Well it’s a real place I wouldn’t kid you about that drive (during normal It’s a traffic hours) north of San Francisco and in the heart of Sonoma County It’s also the capital of the world and manages to squeeze time out of ABC’s “Wide World of Sports” once a year Friend Wamsley invited me along on a ride up there yesterday He was gomother and ing to visit his so I readily after that his daughter accepted Petaluma has a population of about 25000 Most of them seem to live on boulevards dotted with dwellings You see a lot of happy children on the streets - wringing the last bit of enjoyment out of the fading days of a summer vacation Petaluma is an old mill town Most of those old structures that once turned out flour still stand Most are idle but a few have been turned into malls that feature restaurants boutiques artists’ creations and assorted pot pourri The town sets on the Petaluma River It eventually empties into San Francisco Bay About a block and a half off Main Street you’ll find the Petaluma Yacht Club Not too many yachts but there’s a sleek ketch called the “Paddy West” tied to a floating dock stared at her long enough to rehash a fantasy of one day sailing the South Seas We walked down Main Street with its grassy and flowered dividers And we took time to pause in front of the Plaza Theater and smell the popcorn Some family entertainment would be showing later in the day There’s a lot of ancient brickwork here from a lime when masonry was an artform-anot something associated with $1750 an hour A quick scan of the horizon will reveal half a dozen towering church steeples Brown hills from a dry summer surround the town but they will turn a nature's green with the fall and winter rains We decided on a bite to eat before returning to the city Wamsley knew just the stop to impress a stranger The Landing It's part of an StcamejGold old mill and settled in the midst of specialty shops The decor is attractive without being ornate The help is attentive without being gushy And the food is excellent without being expensive That s a parlay you can’t beat with a stick They have a good community newspaper here too The Argus Six days a week never on Sunday A lot of photographs Good tight writing and exceptionally neat (That last probably creditable to the fact that it has a female staff) mainly The town at least on first glance seems to have all the ingredients I’ve looked for in “Middle America” It has industry a town agriculture square access to the ocean mountains of a sort church steeples a movie theater a drug store with a soda fountain and friendly people Only one thing wrong with all of this I hate to think that after 45 months of roaming around the country of traveling 75000 miles and looking in all directions - after all of that someone had to take me by the hand and point “Middle America” out to me It just doesn’t seem fair |
