(PL) Picture identified Last week's can you guess picture was, shall we say, Wade difficult to Identify. The rock was found by Dick McQulllin and Ron on their farm In 1978. According to a report from a Professor W.B. Pearson at the Earth Sciences Department, University of Waterloo, It Is a "gowanda conglomerate formed 2.2 billion years ago by glacial action In Huronlan times. It Is a tillite formed by glaciers melting and depositing the conglomerate. It probably came from the Sudbury or Espanola region carried down to Kinloss by glaciers 100,000 years ago in Pllestocene Times. The protrusions or nodules are harder rocks standing out when the softer surrounding material was weathered away." . , : i f1 h .lz "c f`► "�''t + t .44 7 I was sure my days of . "child training" were long gone, until this past week...For some reason the youngest member of our family has developed some very . bad habits that are going to get him into a considerable amount of trouble. The most scary wasan incident the other evening when he was coming home from visiting the neighbor. I don'tknow how many times he has been told "stop and look both ways before you cross the street", but that evening he did not obeythat rule and came Close to being motored down by a vehicle. This all happened right in front of my eyes. You can imagine the fright it gave me. He was im- mediately confined to the house and given :t good lecture, on being safety conscious. Another bad • habit he has developed lately is getting into bed with me. He is old enough to be sleeping m his own bed without the comfort of "mom and dad" to make him feel safe. Once removed and supposedly back in his own sleeping quarters, be waits for a little while and, just as I am dozing off again, he jumps on our bed and Scares the wits out of mei: Suitably 'reprimanded and put back in his own bed, I he in bed, wide-awake, waiting for sleep to come,watching the clock as the minutes slip by realizing if I don't soon get some sleep, the next day at work will not be productive, Any of you who have suffered isomnia know what ,a waste of time it is trying to will sleep to come. I finally drift off to sleep, believing the "little one" has finaaliy settled down for the night. Not so. He seems to know when sleep has come to me, and the next thing I know, he is at the side of the bed calling me in a demanding tone of voice. ' Once again he is reprimanded and put back in his own bed. The next routine is wandering around the house, at first so quiet you're- really not sure if you are hearing anything, when suddenly there isa crash and I know darn well he is getting into mischief siwply to get my attention. 0y now Lama at my wits end. I realize little ones get their days and nights mixed up, but really this one is not little anymore. He had a routine that fer Sonnereason has flown out the window. Not being able to fmd:my tattered edition of Dr. Spock to consult, I simply sat the little one down and explained to him, that if he didn't get back into a routine, that allowed me to obtain a decent night's sleep, the Money that went towards baying his Purina Cat Chow and Purr Would cease to exist. I further threatened that he would find him- self imself with his own small,parivate quarters in the basement with no access to the main floor. From the look in his big green eyes, I'm not sure he understood, and if he did, he appeared to be saying, "try it lady, and you'll see just how noisy I can get!" Being a pet owner can be a pain in the neck at times!
