Participating were 32 Knights from Stratford, Seaforth and Goderich Councils and 14 Shriners from Stratford, and Bluewater Clubs as well as Masonic members from the area. All games were close this year indicating that the yearly event is getting more competitive. The winning rink consisted of Tom Horenburg, John and Jeff Curan and Arnold Groenestege, all Knights. Coming in a close second was a rink composed of Willy Kuran, Clare Bedard, Paul Nichol, all Knights and Gord Stiles, Shriner. The curling club ladies led by ways and means chairman Carol Munro provided a delicious roast beef dinner. Knight Ed Murray expressed thanks on behalf of the gathering to the club and ladies for the pleasant hospitable afternoon and the gracious service rendered by the members of the club.

(News -Record photo) Teachers hear about "Discipline Without Tears" By Shelley McPhee Over 100 elementary teachers from throughout Huron County attended a seminar on child discipline at the Clinton Public School on Saturday morning. Heading the seminar was Pearl Cassel, from Scarboro who based her discussion on her two books, "Discipline Without Tears" and "Pearl Cassel's Presentations." The seminar was co- sponsored by the Federation of Women Teachers and the Ontario Public School Men Teachers' Association. Cassel, in her lecture noted that the discipline and behavior of children has changed over the past years. "When we were growing up there were very few depressed adolescents" she explained, "We were taught to be obedient no matter what." "Children," she added, "were at the bottom rung of the great unwanted mass." She further explained that children fit into the then present dictating society. The government dictated the people, the whites dictated to the blacks, the men dictated to the women and in turn the women could dictate the children. "There was a set of values that applied to all children and there was no such thing as a separate set of values;" Cassel noted. However today she ex- plained that traditions are being lost and children must be taught new values, unlike their parents'. "We have to take a new look at child raising," she stated. Cassel basically in her talk told the teachers that the main reason why children misbehave in school is that they are seeking attention, are revengeful or w'ant power. She noted that most young children fight to get the teacher mixed up with them. She told the teachers that one three-year-old girl told her that she fought with her brother to get her mother to look at her. Even punishment, she explained gets the child noticed and sometimes it is best to completely ignore them and let them work out their own battles amongst themselves. "The children know you can't stand it. Then you nag at them and they've got you," she noted, "You can't be logical with them, they're minds work differently." Cassel explained that to correct the behavior problems the child must be confronted and his feelings understood. "You ask them if they want to be noticed and some may say yes, but others may not understand becauseyou're tapping at an ,unaware motive. Therefore you look for a physiological response, like their pupils dilate or they change the position of their feet," she explained.

Get well wishes to Lisa Storey from us all. should be given special at- tention at times and ignored at others when they're misbehaving. Most im- portant is to be., kind -but firm, Cassel explained. Children who want power try to challenge the teacher and want to see them lose control. This problem is often prevalent from grades six through to eight. To correct this Cassel stated, "Don't fight with them, they fight dirty. Avoid power struggles and instead tell • them that you respect them too much to fight, or make a date for Friday af- ternoon to fight." She noted that often this is not what the child wants and this will discipline them. • "You could strap some kids every day and it wouldn't do any good. When I came from England I didn't even know what a strap was," Cassel said, "but at one school I taught in, the principal said the "only way to teach the children anything was to strap them. I used to strap at least 20 kids a day and many of those ,kids- are in jail now. It's a nightmare to me." Punishing revengeful children will not correct their problems Cassel explained. By punishing them, their attitudes that adults and the world are rough will be reinforced. • Cassel stressed a good sense of humor and patience to the teachers and noted, "We used to be able to demand respect, we can't anymore, now we have to earn it."
