One of the most frequent questions I hear is how do I get my child to behave and respect me? It is important to understand some of the advanced techniques of positive parenting if you are to succeed at this.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Volusia County’s Human Services Office will sponsor a Summer Food Service Program for children at 70 sites from June 14 through Aug. 13.

The program, funded by the U.S. Department of Agriculture, provides nutritionally balanced meals regardless of race, color, sex, disability or national origin. It is approved for areas in which 50 percent or more of the children qualify for free and reduced price meals during the school year.

Summer feeding sites provide meals to all children in the immediate vicinity in addition to those enrolled in the summer program.

Rob and Becky Haley attend a marriage education class taught by Ed Koplin at the Grace Fellowship Church in Timonium, Md.  Koplin and his wife, Mary Beth (near photo), are holding a similar workshop here in New Smyrna Beach March 19-20 at the First Baptist Church of New Smyrna Beach.

NEW SMYRNA BEACH -- Ed and Mary Beth want to help married couples stem the rising tide of divorce with a special workshop March 19 and 20.

An exciting grass-roots movement has taken root, providing hope and skills to married couples, the Koplins say. Fed up with the rising tide of divorce, the Koplins drew a line in the sand eight years years ago, when they saw the negative impact of divorce on teens while serving in a youth ministry. Then they decided to work with married couples in the community.
