Gordon Russell Pratt Parenting classes offered The Morrow County Commission on Children & Families will sponsor a "Parenting With Love and Logic" course beginning on Thursday, April 13. The class is outlined for parents, grandparents, school teachers, child care providers and anyone who would like to develop their parenting and discipline skills. "Many parents want their kids to be well prepared for life and they know this means kids will make mistakes and must be held accountable for these mistakes. But these parents often fail to hold the kids accountable for poor decisions because they are afraid the kids will see their parents as being mean," said Dar Merrill, director of the Morrow County Commission on Children & Families. "The result is they often excuse bad behavior, finding it easier to hold others, Chamber Chatter By Claudia Hughes, Chamber Manager This past weekend I took a walk along the creek and noticed how nature changes everything daily. The beaver have been hard at work cutting trees and building dams, stopping the natural flow with the creation of ponds. Eagles were flying overhead, in abundance once again. On the hill were seven pronghorns. Wildlife seems to come and go given changing conditions over the years. Similar to people, really. Some changes we can cause; others we are made to feel like victims. Communication helps us to deal with the variety of change in our daily lives. Sometimes we need to get really serious; others we need to relax a little and enjoy the short time we have and recognize the gifts right under our noses. The Extension Service called about 26 people together last week for a meeting to identify trends and needs of Morrow County. The group came up with 10, one being "creating county wide cfeWaboration" to assist all of us in undei-standifig ^oUr diversity and building cooperation to recognize and support the varied needs in each part o f our county.
