To get people ready, Jana Hannigan of Hood River Library has provid- ed two quizzes on Shake- speare plays. The second one will run a week from now. (Answers below.) The Bard! Do you know him well? Get ready for N ESTLÉ Continued from Page A1 said Brown. Brown said the cross transfer deal leaves less room for public decision- making. “We will still have the ability to comment … the difference is (the cross trans- fer) has a lower standard of review.” According to Rancier, the state water resources depart- ment must now prove “in- jury” to water rights. There will be public comment, but the primary review will focus on the city and ODFW’s respective claims to the water sources. Though the cross transfer is filed as “permanent,” the city will weigh options that could alter the deal in the fu- ture. In the staff report, the city stated, “If the plant should leave at some point in the future, another applica- tion for cross transfers can be processed to reverse this action.” WILLIAM SHAKESPEARE was born April 23, 1616, making next year the quadricentennial of the Bard’s birth. His par- ents were John and Mary Shakespeare, and his hometown is Stratford-on-Avon, England. The list of the beloved play- wright and poet’s works has recently expanded: scholars de- termined this month that “Double Misfortune,” a 17th cen- tury comedy of long-unknown authorship, could be ascribed to Shakespeare. Will’s birthday with this quiz. Take the full quiz at the HR Library April 21- 25 to win prizes. Name the play these quotes are from: 1-”By the pricking of my thumbs, something wicked this way comes.” 2-”The course of true love never did r un smooth.” 3-”If music be the food of love, play on!” 4-“A plague o’ both your houses!“ 5-”O brave new world, that has such people in ‘t!“ Name the play these characters are from: For years, Cascade Locks has tried to bring the Nestlé plant to town in order to boost the local economy with a fresh source of jobs and tax income. The deal would cre- ate an estimated 50 jobs and boost the city’s total tax rev- enue by 67 percent. The city’s unemployment rate is nearly 19 percent. At its proposed plant, Nestlé hopes to bottle 100 million gallons of spring water annually and sell it around the Northwest. That amount sounds daunting but it only accounts for 1/80th of the state agency’s water right — 1.25 percent. Citizens of Cascade Locks use rough- ly that each year in water utilities, according to a March staff report from the city. Zimmerman feels the eco- nomic benefit would be sub- stantial for Cascade Locks. “It’s about jobs. It’s about the ability of a city to survive,” said Zimmerman. In its staff report, the city also claimed the new plant would minimize transporta- 1- Puck 2-Caliban 3-Benedick Finish the quotes: 1-”All that glisters is not ______” 2-”That which we call a rose by any other word would smell as _____” 3-“How sharper than a serpent’s tooth it is to have a _______ child!” Answers: Name the play: Mac- beth; Midsummer Night’s Dream; Twelfth Night; Romeo and Juliet The Tempest; Characters: Midsum- mer Night’s Dream; The Tempest; Much Ado About Nothing; Finish the quotes: gold, sweet, thankless Hood River Library Shakespeare Week is April 21 - 25.

Supplies of Nestlé’s Arrowhead brand in the Northwest currently draw from a bottling facility in Sacramento, 600 miles away from Portland. In com- parison, the Cascade Locks plant would be only 44 miles away which “substantially reduces the diesel fuel burned and carbon emis- sions created by the trucks,” according to the report. Traffic in Cascade Locks, however, would increase. Nestlé would bring 100 trucks through town daily, a total of 200 trips. It would be the first time Cascade Locks faced a traffic load of that magnitude since its days as a logging town in the late 20th century. The city is considering op- tions in response to the semi- trailers potentially rolling through town. These include addition lanes, sidewalks or even a new loop around the weigh station, which would allow the trucks to bypass the main drag of WaNaPa Street.

I turn the pages and show him the pictures. He is still is not sure what to make of this as he chews on his de- licious cracker. So I put the book down next to him as I talk with his mom. He quickly grabs the book, hands the cracker to mom, and starts turning the pages, pointing to the pic- tures and clearly enjoying the book. His mom seems just as interested and is pleased that the book is bilin- gual. This is exactly what I was hoping for. The Reach out and Read (ROR) Program is a national early literacy promotion pro- gram, targeting children from inf ancy through kindergarten age, and build- ing on the relationship be- tween primary care providers and f amilies. Javier is one of the first pa- tients at Hood River One Community Health (OCH) to receive a book through the Oregon ROR program. OCH has purchased 700 brand new books with funding from ROR Oregon Coalition. ROR provides training so providers can use the books as a tool to assess a child’s development, including fine motor skills (how he holds the book, turns the pages), communication and cogni- tion (what is he learning and saying) and simultaneously provide parents with tips on how to encourage reading. “Read aloud every day” is a simple phrase with a pow- erful message. A message that Health Care Providers at OCH are giving to parents at every well child visit. Reach out and Read Oregon Coalition published in 2013 that 40 percemnt of children in Oregon enter kinder- garten without the necessary tools they need to learn to read. Oregon ranks 37th among 50 states for 4th grade reading standards. Families served by ROR read together more often, and their chil- dren enter kindergarten with larger vocabularies and stronger language skills, bet- ter prepared to achieve their potential. Fourteen pub- lished research studies con- firm that Reach Out and Read works. Medical professionals around the country have adopted ROR’s evidence based model into well child checkups.

It’s all part of a “literacy rich” environment a One Communi- ty Healath. It is especially great to be able to offer new books in a child’s primary language.’ ment, ROR has now come to Hood River. The program be- gins at a child’s 6 month checkup and continues through to age 5, with a spe- cial emphasis on children growing up in low income families. I am excited that the ROR program has finally made its way to Hood River. Kids just love books! It is especially great to be able to offer new books in a child’s primary language. I believe this also engages the parents, who play an essential role in mak- ing reading fun and special. I explained to Marco, who is 5 years old, that I have some books that he can choose from. When he learned that I had both Span- ish and English books, he quickly decided that he only wanted to look at the Span- ish language books. Marco could not stop looking at and talking about his book the entire visit. His 8 year old brother felt left out, so we let him choose from one of our many, donated, gently used books.
