While students accept the need for homework, they say they get too much each night. Television is the #1 homework distrac- tion -- and while most students get home- work help from their parents -- many get no help at all and need access to after-school homework assistance programs to compete and succeed. The survey asked students their opinions on homework and on graduating high school. Results of the “Boys & Girls Clubs of Amer- ica/JCPenney Afterschool Fund Survey” show: *67 percent say that teachers should as- sign homework, but 54 percent say that their teachers assign too much homework. *52 percent say that television distracts them most from homework. Friends (22 per- cent), extracurricular activities (17 percent) and family obligations (9 percent) are other homework distractions. *Parents help kids most with their home- work (56 percent); 19 percent say no one helps them and 17 percent get help from mentors and tutors. *74 percent say they complete their homework every night. *71 percent say they have one to two hours of homework each day; 20 percent have three to four hours a day; and 9 percent have more than four hours of homework daily. *89 percent say that graduating high school is very important and almost all (98 percent) expect to graduate high school and attend college (94 percent). *77 percent say their parents are the strongest influence in driving them to suc- ceed in school. *87 percent of young people surveyed say they strive to do their best at school every day. *61 percent say going to college is their primary ambition after high school, followed by getting a job (22 percent). *42 percent say the negative influence of peers is their greatest challenge to finishing high school. “The results of this survey complement what other studies have found regarding af- ter-school programming and the benefit it provides,” said Julie Berkhouse, Afterschool Specialist for the JCPenney Afterschool Fund. Numerous studies have shown that chil- dren involved in quality after-school pro- grams, including those that offer homework assistance, have better grades, higher school attendance, better attitudes toward school, higher educational aspirations, and less need for disciplinary action,” *Every day, more than 14 million chil- dren in this country are unsupervised be- tween 3 and 6 p.m. That leaves them in great danger of becoming victims or perpetrators of crime or delinquent behavior. *Another 43 million children could benefit from after-school activities with in- creased access and awareness of programs by Boys & Girls Clubs of America and other organizations like the YMCA, 4-H and Jun- ior Achievement. *Research shows that after-school pro- grams can have positive effects on students’ performance in school, including improved math and reading performance, improved attendance, reduced dropout rates, decreased involvement in crime, improved behavior at school, and a heightened interest in learning. “Research shows that without signifi- cant educational support, many young peo- ple are likely to accept low standards of academic achievement, leading to unreal- ized potential and locking them into lim- ited opportunities for employment and life,” noted Scott Thornhill, unit director for Boys & Girls Clubs of Illinois Valley. “Through our partnership with the JCPenney Afterschool Fund, we are able to provide after-school programs that comple- ment the instruction children receive dur- ing the school day and open the door to new levels of achievement and fulfill- ment,” Thornhill said. Throughout the year, the JCPenney Afterschool Fund supports the Boys & Girls Club’s Power Hour and Goals for Graduation programs. Power Hour is an interactive after- school homework assistance program for children 6-18 that helps them view home- work as an opportunity to learn how to work independently, successfully complete a project on time, and feel good about their accomplishments. Goals for Graduation, an innovative after-school program for club members 6- 15, provides one-on-one activities to sup- port academic goal-setting, learning and success in school. Club members practice setting short- and long-term goals with the leadership, guidance and encouragement of club staff. The online survey of more than 800 Boys & Girls Clubs of America members 6 -18 was conducted during August 2005 by Boys & Girls Clubs of America and the JCPenney Afterschool Fund. For nearly 15 years, the Boys & Girls Club of Illinois Valley has been providing quality youth programs to neighborhoods that have a greater need for community involvement. The locations at Evergreen Elementary and Lorna Byrne Middle schools in Cave Junction serve more than 375 youth each year. For more information, visit bgcrv.com Sports Quiz 1.

A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore. - Yogi Berra - ‘Silver bullet’ indicated in battle against ovarian cancer A new, targeted “silver bullet” drug is being given to women with ovar- ian cancer to im- prove their survival as part of a new study by an Oregon Health & Science University (OHSU) researcher and sur- gical oncologist. The drug, Tel- cyta, has been shown in animal studies to be effec- tive in fighting ovarian cancer in subjects resistant to platinum, one of the best drugs to com- bat ovarian cancer. Approximately 30 percent of women with ovarian cancer are resistant to plati- num and have re- curring ovarian can- cer. Telcyta works by binding to the platinum drug, re- leasing a reactive fragment of the platinum and then bombarding the cancer cell, which causes the cancer cell to die, said OHSU. Dr. Fabio Cap- pucini, principal investigator of the study, described how Telcyta works: “The platinum drug is like the quarterback, and Telcyta acts like a defensive lineman, re- moving the opponents in the way so that the quarterback (platinum) can make the touch- down, causing the can- cer cell’s death.” LEGAL NOTICE IN THE CIRCUIT COURT OF THE STATE OF OREGON IN AND FOR THE COUNTY OF JOSEPHINE SUMMONS WALTER B.
