neszli skerlan jim thomas- education column when your child fails by lynda williams education columnist all along youve known that your child has not been able to keep up with much of the work now the teacher and you have agreed it would be best if heshe repeated the grade it is felt that one more year at that particular level would be beneficial what things can you do to make it less disappointing for the stu dent first do not say the student has failed there are probably many things the student did well throughout the year if you say heshe has failed it means the en tire year was a waste which of course is not the case repeating a grade can be a good experience if it is explained that next year you will go on from where you left off since all people learn at different rates heshe should not feel badly for needing more time at this level than some other students if you can show your student that you are not embarrassed by the fact heshe is going to repeat a grade the student can be com fortable with it also make sure that grandparents and others close to the family are aware if they normally treat the student at the end of the school year ask that they continue to do so this year as well there are al ways some successes to cele brate no matter how small if people ask how was school this year and how did you do make sure your student knows to speak up and say that heshe is repeating a grade and doing so be cause more time is needed at that level when report cards come home first focus on the good points be positive dont say things such as well im sure youll try harder next year possibly heshe was trying hisher best remember you want to find the good points the way to encourage success is to reward success with praise finally you may want to con sider summer school

for ward to running my own business again when asked if hell be nervous working around this kind of equip ment steve just shrugs it wont bother me he replies it was just an accident an antique auction thats truly genuine by bruce stapley uxbridge most antique auctionsholders make great claims about items that often turn out to be a little less than the stuff of which classic historical collec tions are made occasionally however a sale is held that offers the sort of articles serious collec tors would travel countrywide to find such is the case with the oct 24 auction of the private collection of markhams john kerr mr kerr spent years acquiring genuine articles in an effort to res tore his george street century home to its original look many of these priceless pieces are from pioneer farms in the markham- stouffville area theres so much history wrap ped up in these pieces mr kerr says theres love character and a whole lot of warmth john kerr spent several years in the antique business he al ways maintained a high standard in deciding just what pieces he should pursue often he would end up bidding against people like john lunau former curator of the 1 markham museum usually id pull out and allow john to buy mr kerr states but when it was a piece id been hunting down for years id stick by my guns typical of the kerr collection is an eight foot pine corner cup board made in the 1840s by the heise furniture company of gormley theres also a reesor harvest table in pine and eight quebec oak chairs with leather seats built in the 1860s and clocks theres a school- house timepiece made by the george s henry company at the turn of the century some of mr kerrs rare hanging lamps will be featured such as his brass lamp with the opalescent hobnail cran berry shade and then there are the collect- ables the 100piece set of wheat pattern china the shaving mugs the moustache cups a number of crocks a train set buttermolds a woodwinder and several anti que musical instruments the list is more than slightly impressive the sale to be held at the wilson auction arena beaver road uxbridge begins at 10 am serious collectors from far and wide are expected mr kerr admits to being a little reluctant to part with a collection thats taken hirn so long to ac quire however due to his recent move to a smaller house he no longer has the room john kerr recalls the effect his george street home once had on visitors it was on the tour of hemes roster time and time again the ladies enjoyed being stationed in it for a day wearing period cos tumes and just enjoying the atmosphere with its tenfoot ceil ings and authentic furnishings mr kerr claims he never purchased an antique without having a special purpose for it i thoroughly enjoyed my anti ques he says i put each to use one way or another they are all very functional he still says hes fascinated by the beauty of so many of his per sonal favorites and admits hell be a little mistyeyed at parting with them in particular the pine sideboard the deacons bench and the dough box to mention only a few a sale preview is planned for oct 22from 1 to9pm and oct 23 from 9 am to 6 pm so be prepared to head out to uxbridge and drool who
