There are changes in store
for Clackamas Community
College’s Child Development
Center, Myra Lunn, depart­
ment supervisor, announced.
Effective fall term, the
Center will have a new billing
procedure and an increase in
fees.
“We’ve had a history of
people not paying their bills,”
Lunn said. The new system will
include prior payment of fees.
ABBY SHERRIL, FIVE, flies through the
air with the greatest of ease. Besides play-
time, the Center also provides education
and meals for infants, toddlers and
preschools,

Timberfest will be dominated
by timber events, Vohs said.
No admission will be charged,
and soft drinks will be provided
free. There will be a fee to enter
some of the events, he said.
Sign-up for the events will
be at 9:30 a.m. with the com­
petition begihning at 10 a.m.
This is traditionally one of
the ASG’s best attended
events. Last year, the
Timberfest drew an estimated
250 people, Vohs said.
However, this year the ASG
will not hold a dance in con­
junction with the festival, as
they have in the past.
The cost for enrolling an
infant or toddler will be $1.75
per hours for one to 11 hours
per week and $1.50 per hour
for 12-25 hours per week.
Preschoolers’ fees are
$1.35 per hour for one to eight
hours per week, $1.25 per
hour for 9-20 hours,and $1.15
for 21-40 hours per week.
Fines will be levied against
parents who fail to pick up their
children on time. The"fine for
infants,
toddlers
and
preschoolers will be $5 bet­
ween 2:15-2:30 p.m. and $10
between 2:30-2:45 p.m.
Lunn said the new system
of pre-payment was initiated
after a survey was done of
other Oregon community col­
leges’ child care systems. Near­
ly every other school’s system
includes pre-payment, Lunn
said. “We have a lot of people
abusing our more lenient
system, so we changed,” she
said.
Lunn also said the pro­
blem of non-payment has im­
proved over the last few years,
but not enough to alleviate the
problem.
The Child Development
Center, in the Orchard Center,
cares for approximately 35 to
45 children per day, ranging in
age from six months to six
years, Lunn said. Some of the
children stay in the Center from
8 a.m. to 4 p.m. but most only
stay part time, depending oh
their parents’ schedules.
Most of the parents who
utilize the system are students
or employees of the College,
Lunn said. The Center is open
to community members as
well, but people from the Col­
lege have first call, Lunn ex­
plained .
People interested in
enrolling their children in the
Center for fall term may begin
registration later this month.
Applications will be available in
the counseling department of
the Community Center bet­
ween June 15 and Sept. 14.
After that, applications will be
kept in the Child Development
Center.
For more information,
contact the Center, ext. 378.
“It's the only thing I ever wanted
to do. When I was a little kid I
don't know that I ever wanted to
be a fireman or a policeman. I
loved going to the movies and I
really didn't have any other
career ambitions. "
‘It's not just the weathly in­
dividuals coming to the concerts.
If I go out any day I will find
anybody and everybody at the
concerts and I like that broad
spectrum. It's dangerous when a
symphony orchestra plays to a
narrow band of elite."
