Family reaps profit of closeness ometimes today, it would seem that families are growing further apart. They don't often spend much time together: therels always so much to do separately. Their paths usually cross at lease once during the day - at dinnertime - but sometimes that seems the exception rather than the rule. The Kopaskie family owns a market in Walden. They have 'ithirteen people in the family, not counting brothers-in-law, neices, or nephews. .Xrlvlil' lnlltiiiirrrv lxl.11'yl.1llt Kilnlwrly Must-Ill Rugrl l.i'ln-luxrn: 'lllmnins l.l1lxzu s Iuhn lwlullkivwinx lViIlu.ni1l.vmy Sully lVl.il1'slxi llzivitl Mrzflorxl lulili Lung l'.1lr'lntl.iM.uliiqu.1ll 'l'mlrl lXlfiCol'mii lx Illl lmlilislniry Timrulliy Mulili rklllll' lklrzllvrrimll Mary Kopaskie and two of her sis- ters, Faith and Ann, are the only Ko- paskie-kids left at home: the other eight are either married or at college. Usually, Mary said, I work after school until 6:00, and then my sisters work with my 'father until 8:30. The person who works until 6:00 works with the hired help. When I work, I take the money and wait on the customers out front. Sometimes I make the sandwiches, and I do a lot of cleaning. Mary said that she and her sisters, don't get paid for working in the store, 'Sjust an allowance because it's family- oriented. She doesn't mind not earn- ing the minimum wage, and she doesn't mind the work taking up so much of her time, although she did admit that sometimes it gets in the way. Like during the summer, we don't all go swimming together be- cause one of us has to stay at the store. lltmivl lxlfzliliistru' CIli.n1'li's lX1r.Xi'olvy Ii'llr'l'y Nllllvl' lxl.uryMf:Kn1ght Lliiws Mvliclvz l.n'sllvMlll1'l' l4.1Ihylw1r:l.u.m l-Irlw.lril lXli'lir'lirl1'z Willmm Mirol.l llmilm lvll:Mamn Nlirzlinvl lxlrtiiuntlsex l1'.mm'Misr:liu llrilizv Mi Nz-ll:-y lolin Milos lwlirtl1.u'l Molillvllo She also said, 'lDuring the summer I started playing tennis, but I didn't get too far because of the store. I still like to play, thoughu. The market used to remain open on the holidays, but this year they closed it. Mary said that the reason is that my parents are getting tired. We're open fifteen hours a day because my father believes you should work hard for your living. When he was a boy, he ran the farm because his father died when he was nine. Our family is closely bound, Mary continued. 'AI like the big family, espe- cially on holidays. We had twenty-one people for Christmas. It takes a long time to open all the presents, because we don't just dig in. We open them one at a time so you can see what everyone gets. It's also nice because with a big family, if you need help, you can al- ways find someone who knows about the field you need help in.

She takes lessons in the Iapanese art of Shote-Kahn. Marlena started taking lessons in the sixth grade, when there was a demonstration at her school. After the demonstration, she signed up for les- sons for fourteen weeks. Marlena said, llri.1n'l'urni:r Vimvnt Velasqucz Xlunszy Weiss Ri1'h.irrlV.ino Ivffvry Vugt Vi1't0r1g1lNPllS lnnlrpc' V.inXN'yck Denise' Warrington Minh VVt'lll'I l1lII Il1sIu:s'W'zirwig Kevin Walz Debra Wilcox When they were over, I realized how much fun it was, so I just continued. The media has made karate into a fighting art, and although it is that, it's more than that, too. Marlena said, Karate,s not all acting tough and sparring. It's a lot of dedication. I never looked at it from the point of view of 'protectionf either. I guess the achievement and perfection are what I want out of it. Besides learning the physical moves, Marlena had to learn the Mmental moves. She started off her practices by meditation, and the mental dis- cipline she has learned has helped her outside of her karate lessons. Marlena said, Meditating has helped me con- trol my temper. Marlena set aside two hours every day to practice. She worked with knives and bamboo as a defense against rods and can break two-inch boards. A lot of it, she said, de- pends on co-ordination and balance. Marlena's co-ordination and balance are improving, and Marlena is achiev- ing what she wants out of it - per- fection.
