to set clear minimum standards for behaviour,
and mandatory consequences for serious
infractions.
The Avon Maitland District School

it was a Brethren Church located on

of Grey.
Former Grey Twp. residents

Ralph and Velma Locking were
guests at a potluck picnic lunch held
in the parking lot of St. Andrew's

They •are all now residents of
Molesworth.
Julie Mitchell sent in the following
item: Emerson Mitchell celebrated a
special birthday (no, it was not his
80th!) at Gord Mitchell's shop on a
rainy Sunday, Aug. 19.
Approximately 40 family members
and friends attended supper and fes-
tivities.
Little Spencer Birch had his first
birthday party on Aug. 26 to which
many of the younger crowd in
Cranbrook were invited. Many fami-
ly members attended also. Happy
birthday, Spencer!
When parents need to work and
regular babysitters have holidays,
grandparents get to be extremely
popular to take care of grandchildren.
So it was for my millennium twins
for whom I was called to babysit.
Benjamin is fully mobile and zeroes
in on targets like a torpedo. Evelyn
also walks but rather like the bride of
Frankenstein. While Benjamin is a
bulldozer, his sister is more subtle
about her explorations. Together they
are an inseparable unit either enter-
taining one another and laughing or
... fighting like banjees.
Of course, Opa has a wonderful
time with the kids despite inter-
minable diapers.
