at the home for four years full time.
Although they make jams, vinegars
and preserves, herbs are grown in
their garden too.

entertainment, he said is disturbing
and captures the minds of children.
We have to learn to discern. The
denial rules are, "There is no
problem; not my kids, they
wouldn't do a thing like that; and
TV doesn't influence my behaviour.
Horror or slasher films are a
favourite for children. Mr. Sjaarda

said he believes violence is fuelled
by TV films and violent video
games.
Music, he said, is also affecting
our children. Some songs picture
suicide, sacrifice and violence
through language and sex.
Mr. Sjaarda concluded saying
that parents must set the standard
by building good relationships with
their children. They have to be able
to communicate with them, spend
time with them and teach them to
become critical thinkers.
Mrs. Spink thanked the speaker
and presented him with a gift. A
discussion followed.
A donation was made to Mission
Services of London for charitable
