The largest number of speech and hearing impairments occur between the ages of five and 21. It makes the language difficult when words sound the same but are spelled differently. Several questions from the floor were dealt with. There was a reading about violence on TV. The powers that be know of the violent content but they simply can't remove it all. This then leads to parents' responsible for monitoring what their children are watching as Saturday morning cartoons have far more violence than prime time TV. There was a reading on the motto, "It takes a community to raise a child." Ruby Steiss had some smiles everyone enjoyed.

First of all the snow went, as fast as it came - and so, thoughts were of melts, floods and wet feet and not of whiteouts and glorious snow folk. Then I had two afternoons in funeral homes, one, a quite interesting combination funeral home and hardware store. I won't even begin to tell you what I thought while sitting there. I tried to keep my thoughts on the jolly cousin who had died but light bulbs, shovels and fuses did interrupt! In a comfortable, familiar - no hardware - funeral home my thoughts went to earlier days that involved my dad - good times, fine folk and memories. Both funeral homes were places of good thoughts - what a legacy from these two men. And we're into birthday season on Tory Hill and that gets one thinking again - good friends, good times, good years! In case you haven’t bought Joan's gift yet - she's looking for plastic lawn ornaments, especially flamingos - to sprout Feb. 1. Happy thoughts now! Bye now, Betty.
