Turner fam ily Child Care Advocacy
visits Portland
by M arjorie Hrowa W right
Competition u high at Portland Meadows racing season opens.
Portland Meadows opens with fast start
Portland Meadows was off to a gooo
start with an opening day crowd of 10,831
and weekend betting of nearly $1.5
million.
In spite of muddy conditions. Pie and
Go triumphed in Sunday's featured
Portland Purse and was presented the
trophy by City Commissioner Charles
Jordan. The three-year-old led by three
lengths, finishing the five furlong course
in 59 seconds.
One of the changes made this year is
the new evening post time of 7:00 p.m.
That is one-half hour earlier than last
season. The Saturday and Sunday post
stays the same at 1:30 p.m.
There will be Monday racing for the
first time in this decade. There will be
five days of competition, including
Monday nights, for seven consecutive
weeks, beginning in mid-March. During
the remainder of the season, the regular
schedule of Wednesday and Friday nights
and Saturday and Sunday afternoons will
prevail.
The massive renovation started last
year has been continued to make the
Meadows more convenient and enjoyable
for the patron. Additional improvements
made this year include the complete
renovation of the public parking lot and a
new color closed circuit television system
has been installed with the number of
monitors nearly doubled throughout the
grandstand, clubhouse and turf club.
Another new feature this year is the
addition of electric timing equipment
which will list a continuous readout of the
race fractions on the tote board.
The luxurious turf club and clubhouse,
completely remodeled prior to last
season, continues to be one of the most
beautiful and practical ever built at a
sports complex. The clubhouse, which
seats nearly 1.000 fans and the turf club,
which (Seats nearly 600, are air-condi­
tioned, heated and ventilated. Of course
the entire plant is enclosed for protection
from even the worst weather.
For the first time this season at the
Meadows, patrons seated at the grand
stand terrace tables will be able to o n e r
a complete dinner off the menu as has
been done in the clubhouse and turf club
in the past.
Forty-five feature and stakes races
have been slated for the meet including
32 of these races for thoroughbreds. With
a tremendous increase in both attendance
and wagering, 1976 looks to be the
biggest in Oregon racing.history.
As in other recent seasons, the
Community Calendar
campaign will include five days of racing
each for the Pacific International Live­
stock Expo and the Multnomah County
Fair. As in 1975, the two fair meets will
be incorporated within the contex of the
complete season.
Special group admissions may be
arranged by calling the Public Relations
Department at 285-9144, ext. 14. Table
reservations may be made by calling ext.
20 at the above number.
Colton promises
salary return
Bonnie L. Colton has announced her
candidacy for City Commissioner, Posi­
tion Number One.
In making her announcement, Ms.
Colton signed a "contract with the voting
citizenry of Portland, Oregon,” if elected
to donate one half her salary to charitable
organizations.
She said, “We live a modest life and
will continue to do so. with the remainder
of my salary returned to the people to
benefit charity and other worthy organi­
zations, hence, back to the people of
Portland."
Ms. Colton has long been active in
grass roots organizations, particularly
those working with the poor.
Inclusion of preventive services is a
key factor for a successful comprehensive
health rare system.
Support for this concept is needed from
parents who carry responsibility for the
health of their children, and especially
from staff of child care agencies, such as
day care homes and centers, which
provide rare for children while their
parents are in training or employed.
Day rare personnel share responsi
bility for the health of children.
The Child Welfare League of America
provide« eight guidelines for the health
program in day care services. A brief
review of the guidelines reveal they are
reasonable for protecting the child from
serious illness which could be more costly
to the child and parents.
• Parents should present a complete
medical examination record when their
child is accepted for day care. The child
should receive follow up examinations at
regular intervals, for example, every six
months. Examinations should include
confirmation that the child has received a
tuberculin test, immunizations and te«ts
for sight, hearing, dental health, and
emotional problems.
• Parents should regularly provide
day care personnel with information
about their child's behavior, health, and
nutrition. In turn, day care personnel
should regularly provide the parents with
information about the child's growth and
development, give information and assis
tance to parents in receiving dental and
other health rare.
• Day rare personnel should also
present a complete medical examination
record, before they join the staff and at
least once a year thereafter.
• Upon arrival each day, before the
parent who brought the child leaves, the
child should be inspected for signs of
illness.
The parent's presence will
facilitate the answering of questions, or,
if necessary the parent can take a
seriously ill child home or for medical
care.
• The child is also observed through

Concordia holds open House
The public is invited to an Open House
held by the Independent Learning
Center of Concordia College on January
19th.
Independent Learning Center was
established in 1973 to provide enrichment
for the entire college campus community.
Although the program has been designed
to offer individualized instruction to all
students, particular attention is given to
meeting the needs of ethnic, minority,
disadvantaged students, and others who
have academic problems.
“The ILCs main goal is, as it should be,
to educate students. One way in which
the ILC is able to achieve this goal is to
better acquaint the total campus com­
munity with the ILC," stated its director,
Ms. Sandy Yuvienco.
Student tutors are chosen for the ILC
with specific duties and responsibilities
clearly defined.
Being a tutor is an
important job, one that entails dedica
tion, trust, and genuine concern for his or
her fellowman.
The tutorial program is primarily for
the benefit of the student who is
experiencing problems with his academic
work. All efforts are being made to avoid
stigmatizing academically disadvantaged
students as being inferior. Friendship,
genuine concern for one another, and the
sharing of ideas and aspriations help to
alleviate the traumas accompanying
many community and rural area students
as entering freshmen.
Tutors, especially the faculty, are very
essential for the working of Concordia's
ILC program.
Students experiencing
difficulty know that the work being
completed in the ILC is valid, as any
other course due to faculty intervention
and assistance. The ILC 90 courses are
given five hours credit just as any other
coirse offered on campus. These courses
are non-transferable, but do count in the
over-all cumulative G.P.A.
The services provided by the ILC are
especially for the study skills areas, such
as: math, reading, comprehension, gram
mar, punctuation, spelling (vocabularly)
and other study skills.
The rewards from the ILC program on
Concordia's campus are twofold. The
tutor gains invaluable experience work­
ing on a one-to-one basis with another
human being, involving the tutee as a
necessary segment of campus com­
munity, and giving him/her a sense of
belonging. The tutee has learned new
skills and improved on many others,
acquired self confidence and developed
better ideas of what and how to study.
The tutor in charge gains more profi
ciency and better understanding of his
out the day for signs of illness. Day rare
programs should have isolation areas for
the sick child. A doctor's check should be
given before a child absent for serious
illness is readmitted for day rare.
• Knowledge of first aid by day rare
personnel and availability of first aid
supplies are essential. Emergencies do
occur. Parents should be sure the day
rare program has on record how to
contact them, an alternate person, the
family doctor, the date the child last had a
tetanus shot, and the parents written
consent for the child to receive emer
gency medical care.
• Parents should know that day care
personnel cannot ' give their child an
aspirin or other medical rare. Exceptions
are possible only with the written
consent of the parents and the written
instructions of the doctor.
s If a child is handicap,>ed and
receiving special services, such as at a
speech clinic or mental health clinic,
parents should provide day care'person
nel with necessary information for their
cooperating in the child's treatment
plans.
Awareness of the primary preventive
promise (ppp) in the day rare health
program is needed.
During the last few years, several
comprehensive health care programs
have been proposed. Two stumbling
blocks for progress on such pro,M>sals
have been questions of financing and the
availability of health rare personnel.
An in depth discussion toward resolu
tion of these questions cannot be offered
here. Clearly, preventive health rare for
children requires fewer health rare
personnel and is less costly than
treatment for serious illnesses or reha
bilitation health care.
The issue of a comprehensive health
rare system for our nation is expected to
be widely debated during the Hicenten
nial year an election year Study the
issue, decide, and requrst support from
your local officials, state legislators, and
congressional representatives.
