I uUo/t/tisoa - (-puddisteit reçus Photographing Kids Is Child's Play I think the fellow had it all wrong. He should have said, "Kids -you can't live with 'em and you can't live without 'em." Heaven knows, if you're a parent, you think about living without them. In fact, there are times, if you're "normal," you're probably ready to run an ad in the Sunday classified section. "For Sale - - Kid, current model, in excellent running condition. condition. Immaculate inside and out, although shows dirt easily. Will sell outright to highest bidder." But then, not 15 minutes after you compose the ad, in comes a grimy little urchin clutching a bunch of wilted black- eyed Susans and wearing a tentative smile. Who can help ' but love them? Pari of (he joy of children is fheir timing. They never seem to do anything "by the book. " Whether it's slamming the screen 1 door while a cake's in the oven or crawling inio your lap when you're feeling unexpectedly low, they have a knack for doing the unanticipated. , Thal ' s what makes getting good photos of them so difficult. It's something like photographing the family kittens at play. Just about the time you get the camera, tripod, and electronic flash unit set up, the kitties find something more interesting to do ... usually in another room. But there is a way to get shots of your children doing memorable memorable things, photos to cherish the rest of your life. It's called taking the bull by the horns or something like that. It may not be as easy as grabbing your camera and snapping off a quick exposure, but it's guaranteed to be more productive. You can get started by sitting down with a piece"of paper and a pencil. Think about half a dozen different things you can do with your child - - things likely to lead to interesting photographs. If you need help, thumb through a few magazines. It shouldn't take too long before you've assembled assembled a list something like this: 1. ) Zoo 2. ) Art Museum 3. ) Fishing 4. ) Neighbor's Farm 5. ) Watering Lawn 6. ) Weeding Garden Weeding the garden? Why not? Just because something may not be your idea of how to spend a Sunday afternoon, that doesn't mean your child won't get a kick out of it. And imagine a photo of a four-year-old proudly displaying a "tomato "tomato weed" freshly plucked from the ground. Sure, I know. That was one of your favorite plants. But kids learn by making mistakes. And losing a tomato plant seems a small enough price to pay for decades of visual memories. Although you'll naturally need your camera and accessories with you when setting up an informal photo session, remember not to make a big deal out of if with your child or you're likely lo have one very large, unboiled ham watching your every move, awaiting the magic moment. The results? Shot after shot of a kid mugging for fhe camera. Sure, one or two such photos aren't bad. But 20 or 30 get to be old news. If you have a ham for a child, you'll have to get in the habit of sneaking your photos, faking them as quickly as possible before letting the camera down lo your side, again. Remember, though, that if you make a big deal out of the shot ( Oh, that was really good, Johnny; grandma will love that one! ) you're just asking for a repeat performance. Since wlial we're talking about here are candid or "grab" PhotQS, you can get remarkably good results with nearly any camera that works. Certainly a 35 mm SLR equipped with a 110 mm telephoto will allow you lo step away from your subject, subject, thus removing you from intruding on the action. But, with caution, you can be as sneaky and effective using an instanl- prinl, mini-35, cartridge, movie, or disc camera as with anything. anything. ' In fact, because of their lightness and small size, small-format small-format "poinl-and-shoot" cameras - especially those with built-in electronic Hash for use when needed - are ideal.

They operate the library library out of Trinity .United Church and have about 35 active members. Parents visiting the library library can borrow toys for home, or stay at the church and let the children play with the toys there. Gillian O'Connell, the president of the library's board this year, says most parents decide decide to let their children play at the church. "The mothers aren't expected expected to supervise then- own kids," Mrs. O'Connell said. And children playing at the church are free to mix with the other children there. "It's good socially for the mothers as] well," Mrs. O'Connell acjded, since they get to meet with other mothers who have young children. The "Toy Library" is limited limited to children who are of pre-school age or younger, which is generally under four. Parents who join the club must pay a fee of $20 and are expected to show some commitment towards the club. "You join the club and as a member you're responsible responsible for certain duties," Mrs. O'Connell said. Meetings aren't a big problem, however. The club l'.as two general meetings per year and four board meetings, so the active member doesn't have to go out of his or her way much by belonging. Recruiting members is probably more difficult. Turnover in the club is great because it only takes a few years before your child is too old to belong to the library. Mrs. O'Connell said that an increased membership means more money for toys. And all of the money collected collected by the club goes to- FIND OUT WHY IT'S AMERICA'S seTLiIg the 1987 SENTRA IMPORT! NISSAN MIDWAY MOTORS 1300 DUNDAS ST. E., WHITBY (416)668-6828 wards new toys. Mrs. O'Connell O'Connell said that the club had sqme trouble in the past keeping up-to-date with the new toys, but these days they're doing pretty well. Recently, they've started buying battery-operated toys and this year they purchased a Coleco-Vision, a home video toy for the television. Last year, they bought a "Touch and Tell" toy, where a computer gives children the name of an object and asks them to touch the picture picture that has that object on it. The computer tells the child if they've done it right. But if the child's wrong, the computer asks the child to try again. The computer's very polite though, Mrs. O'Connell said, and points out what the object is that the child has incorrectly touched. Of course, there are always always a few smart-alecks who confuse the computer by touching more than one picture at the same time, Mrs. O'Connell said. The "Toy Library" also has an assortment of records, records, trucks, toy horses and farms, and a racing car that can be pulled apart and put together again by the budding mechanic. Mrs. O'Connell said one advantage of a co-operative toy program is that children get access to some toys which need great quantities to be of any use. She said the Lego building blocks are one example of this, since Lego only sells their pieces to parents in small quantities. At the "Toy Library," Library," however, parents can borrow a whole bin of Lego for the kids. And puzzles arc another specialty at the library. Since a puzzle can only be put together one or two times before it becomes boring, parents arc probably probably better off not buying puzzles for the kids and using the ones at the library. library. The library kicks off this year's season on Tuesday, Sept. 9. The library is open every Tuesday from 9:30 a.m. to 11:15 a.m. from September September lo June. And Mrs. O'Connell reminds reminds all parents thinking of joining that a yearly membership is good from the time you start to exactly one year later, so you don't have to join in September to get your money's worth. She adds that the library is pretty unique and that parents should consider taking advantage of its ability ability lo cater to the fickle tastes of the younger set. "It's great because there's toys that kids wouldn't want to play with all the time." The Canadian Statesman. Bowmanville.

Following a honeymoon in Las Vegas, Mr. and Mrs. Marner are residing in Ajax. A Friend on the Probably the majority of school children who walk to and from school meet a friend on the way. Not a schoolfriend, but a grown-up. Before you get worried the person I'm talking about is the School Crossing Guard. Crossing guards love kids, the job would not be worthwhile if they didn't. Often a strong bond of friendship is built up between the guard and the school children. As a example:- Hazel OVENDEN is a crossing guard at Glen Street School in Oshawa. She was honoured last 'June by the parents committee with a presentation of a sweater. Written across the front of it was "Worlds Best Crossing Guard". Hazel is so devoted to her job and the school children that she has only missed two days of work in the past seven years. A strong sense of responsibility and concern for children is not unusual amoung crossing guards. My own son, Jamie, became very attached to the guard who used to cross him over Brock Street. During the years that Jamie went to Palmerston School, the guard, Frank, would always greet him with a friendly word and sometimes a treat on special occasions. When Frank retired I expect we wer'nt the only family who gave him something as a leaving present. As you can see, crossing guards are a dedicated group. Their job is a very important one too. But often motorists treat them as a nuisance and with little respect. As any police officer can tell you, directing traffic is always a dangerous duty, and crossing guards have to face this kind of danger every day. This means injury and even death are a real possibility every time they go to work. In fact, I remember a tragic accident that occured in March of 1983 at Garden and Dundas Streets in Whitby. Jacoba DEBRES was on duty there in her capacity as a crossing guard, when a collision occured between two cars at the intersection. Unfortunatly one of the cars after impact mounted the curb near where she was stood. This car struck and killed Jacoba, When I pass that corner I can still see her there. She always had a friendly smile and a wave for me as I drove by on patrol, and when I pass that corner I think of her still. The officers in Community Services (where I now work) have quite a close relationship with crossing guards. All are initially trained by us at their crossing locations. We try to visit them as often as possible to see how things are going with the job, and also, if there are reports of traffic violations at their crossings we do the follow up investigations. And we certainly get lots of complaints. These people deserve but often don't get the best of treatment from drivers, even though the law states that drivers must respect their authority when they are directing traffic. It is mandatory to stop for school crossing guards guiding children across the road. The guard will be displaying, a red and white stop sign and wearing a reflective traffic vest. Failure to stop for this sign could make a driver subject to a minumum fine of $53.75 plus three demerit points. A defensive driver on approach to a crossing WILL SLOW DOWN and be prepared to stop, especially when he or she can see that a guard is on duty or children are moving to and from school. After stopping, Corner do not proceed until the guard LEAVES the roadway. The sign is not meant to be treated the same way as a stop sign at an intersection, where after stopping it is then a judgement call of when it's safe to proceed. The sign indicates you must stop, and stay stopped, until it is removed from view (this will be when the guard leaves the roadway). Also, be very cautious when turning left or right at an intersection. A guard may be crossing children around the corner on the street you're turning into (this is one of our most common reported infractions). Traffic safety is- everyone's responsibility, and if you as a driver are cautious and courteous at school crossings you will be doing your part in the preservation of our future-by preserving our children.
