Grandparent caregivers: factors contributing to their experience of life satisfaction
No full textElectronic Thesis or DissertationGlobally, the number of grandparents providing primary, custodial, or co-parenting for biological and legal grandchildren has grown progressively. Often time examination of grandparent caregiving occurs through the lens of burden and deleterious familial, psychological, and medical outcomes. The present cross-sectional research study is a preliminarily exploration of factors that promote grandparent experience of positive life satisfaction. Bivariate research findings supported an association between grandparent caregivers’ experience of positive life satisfaction and reported resources (rs(94) = .51; p =.000), choice to parent (rs(94) = .26; p =.006), and spirituality (rs(94) = .214; p =.019. Because life satisfaction scores were reversed, the outcome indicated higher life satisfaction is associated with higher reported resources, choice to parent, spirituality, and parental stress. Social support (r(94) = .093; p =.375) and parental stress (r(94) = .181; p =.081) did not demonstrate significant relationships. Multiple Regression Analysis (MRA) found reported resources (β = .45) and choice to parent (β = .21) were the strongest predictors of grandparent caregivers’ positive life satisfaction (F(2, 91) = 26.54, p < .001). However, MRA with caregiver satisfaction interaction terms did not contribute significantly to the model (F(2, 91) = 26.54, p < .001). Study findings evidenced grandparent caregivers experienced positive life satisfaction when they engage in spiritual practices; perceive reduced stress, choice in parenting, adequate personal, social, and familial resources to meet life demands. Implications for social work practice, policy, and research are offered that build on grandparent caregivers’ adaptability, capabilities, and strengths rather than deficits

The Lions Club held their closing meet ing in the form of a Bonfire Party at the Swimming Pool, Wednesday evening. It was also a Farewell Party for Lion Roy Overa, who with his family is leaving soon to make their home in Great Falls, Montana. Lion Bres, €» S. Matkin, on behalf of the Club presented them with a pair of blankets Many lively games, under tbe direction of Lion end Mrs, G, G, Woolley, were greatly I enjoyed,,,followed by delioioue refreshment —Hot Doge and Cant eloupe A LS Mde,
About aizty Lions and their wives attended
the affair,
Monday and Tuesday we had five prisoners helping us dip, We asked the guards to give us five big fellows. It is tough work we told them, "It cant be as bad as haying at McIntyre*s", they said. We told them it was twice as hard, "We will give you five the size of Herman Go ering"
,..and they did. We asked the guards what we could do to pep them up. "A few smokes, some fruit and a little hamburger will help. Their rations are reduced, you know"« (We did? all of this,)
We dipped 600 rams Monday fore-noon, and it was no fun. They had all been through the dip before and could smell sulphur a block away. Almost every one had to be drug up the chutes and pushed into the vat one by one. To kill tioks they should swim for one minute (So says the instructions).
They oould understand Dutch so we used what we could remember after forty years (1805 to 1907) ...the swear words*
The boys got a breathing spell when it come to the awes and lambs. The lambs didn’t know what was before them.
They were easily induced to walk the chutes, and most of them jumped voluntarily into the vat. Their mothers if they weren’t too old ijwise in the ways of the world) followed reluctantly,
Spear grass is bad this year. The lambs are full of it. It will bore right into their stomaohs. Many become blind.
The German lads were not backward In removing the grass from the blind lambs’ eyes, ( They appeared human like the rest, (12 in all). In fact we believe they controlled their tempers better than some of us. (Some old ewes would brace all fours and refuse to move). Three or four hard ones in a row and the boys would see red (like waving a red flag in front of a bull).
The Cooper’s Dip representative,
Bill Benson, was on the job to supervise the dipping, (Some complaints). We couldn’t find any live ticks after.
Later the boys jumped into the lake and say they are all masters at the art of swimming.
Pilot Officer Araold Ririe, son of Mr. & Mrs, Lawarence Ririe was among 13 Alberta members of the R.C.A.F. who have been awarded the Distinguished Flying Cross, The announcement was made July 27th from Ottawa,

.the utmost fortitude, courage and devotion to duty.”
