To increase the opportunities for community service and to add new dimensions to the lives of the residents, the Meadows Nursing Center Auxiliary is being formed, and all Back Mountain resi- dents are invited to become mem- bers. If you can spare five or more hours per month and are willing to commit this time to working at the center or with some auxiliary project or committee, you could become an active member. What- ever your skill or interest, we will find a niche for you. Volunteers already perform diverse services, such as sorting and delivering resi- dents’ mail to bringing in specially trained dogs that can be petted by the residents. Perhaps you could not spare five hours a month, but want to help anyway. Then you could be a sustai- ner member. You would then be asked to pay annual dues of $5.00 per year. Funds so generated would help finance the projects of the auxiliary. Bi-monthly meetings of the auxil- iary will be held at the center, and will be open to all members and the public at large. The Core Committee for the for- mation of the auxiliary will be endeavoring to reach all Back Mountain residents by amil, news- paper publicity, etc. in the next few weeks, but don’t wait to be asked. Please call Director of Volunteer Services, Marily Gregorski, at 675- 8600, or Core Committee Chair, Catherine Bolinski at 675-5153 if you have any questions or if you would like more information. Initial meeting of the auxiliary will be held Monday, Nov. 12, at 10:30 a.m. at the Meadows Nursing Center, Dallas. All memberships received by Jan. 1, 1985 will be considered charter members of the auxiliary. PHONE 675-4013 Hours: Daily Tues. thru Sat. Thurs. & Fri.

Dallas Olin’s Jewelry is introducing a New Twist in Ear Fashion Gold Earrings at 30% off OCTOBER 19th , 823-1734 By JOAN KINGSBURY Staff Correspondent Stepfamily is a very common term in today’s scciety. With one out of every three couples getting divorced and 80 percent of those divorced getting remarried, step- families are a wa)’ of life for many people. Dr. William Hukkarinen and his wife, Marsha Howes, of Dallas have been married for six years. Both are divorced from their first spouse. Between them they have four chil- dren; Dawes Strickler, 17; and Sirka Howes (Bill and Marsha’s daughter) live with them; Jasen Strickler, 15, iives with Marsha’s ex-husband in Massachusetts, and Michael Hakkarinen, 12, lives with According to Marsha and Bill, adapting to the stepfamily way of life can be stressful. For instance, holiday times which are usually happy occasions can become very confusing when one parent is travel- ing on Christmas to pick up one of the children, while the other is saying goodbye to children spending the holiday with the other spouse. Bill and Marsha have found that establishing your own new tradi- tions can be a very positive way to settle this problem. Dealing with the ex-spouse can be difficult, especially if bitterness pre- vails. A good rule to follow is to speak to your ex-spouse only about things directly relating to the child’s welfare. Stay away from things like “Why did you do that?” which will only antagonize. Bill and Marsha both noted that discipline is an area where rules must be defined. Children must be made aware that one set of rules exists at mom’s house while another set may exist at dad’s, but both sets must be respected. Bill advises par- ents to accept the other set of rules for the child while the child is staying in that home because you really can’t do anything about them. A disagreement often puts the child Learning new ways Dr. William Hakkarinen and Dallas, are just one example successful. right in the middle. Don’t let anger at your ex-spouse affect the rela- tionship between your child or cur- rent spouse and remember to make sufficient time for the new couple, Bill cautions. Don’t let problems with the children and ex-spouse over-shadow the marriage. Marsha pointed out that stepchild- ren and stepparents often think they should immediately love the new child or parent in a stepfamily. This is a fallacy. Both stepparents and stepchildren should give themselves time to get acquainted with their new family, learning to like, then possibly to love them. There are many positive aspects to stepfamilies, too. The family has different boundaries. There are four parents and eight grandparents to love the children. Families become much more flexible and the chil- dren’s experiences become much broader.
