Tradition Becomes
Oregon Law
A n Oregon law became effective
September 29, 1991 which gives fu
neral processions rights o f the road and
sets fines fo r violations. Although re
spect fo r the funeral procession has
been customary over the years in Ore
gon, there has been no previous uni
form state law to define the procession
and to cite disruptions.
Pedestrians, bicyclists and motor
vehicle drivers must yield the right-of-
way to the funeral procession and obey
the direction o f the escort or lead ve
hicle driver or be subject to a Class A
traffic infraction. I l is unlaw ful to drive
between vehicles in a funeral proces
sion or to jo in a procession to be ex
em pt from rules o f the road.
A funeral procession by law is two
or more vehicles accompanying the
body or cremated remains o f a de
ceased person. The lead vehicle or escort
must use an interm ittent red or white
warning lig h t and a ll fo llo w in g ve
hicles must use low-beam headlights.
The first and the last vehicles must use
hazard warning lights. The procession
can be lead through stop signals once
the led vehicle la w fu lly enters the inter
section. The processions are exemept
from tolls and authorized to travel at
prescribed speeds.
Bags o f books and other learning
materials designed to help day care
providers interest pre-schoolers in read
ing and learning are now available at
Rockwood, Holgate and Capitol H il,
branches o f the Multnomah County
Library.
The project, called " I t ’ s In The
Bag,’ ’ helps children enter school "ready
to learn,” says T oni Bemardi, youth
services manager for Multnomah County
Library.
" I t ’ s In The Bag,” funded by a
federal grant distributed through the
Oregon State Library, makes it pos
sible fo r day care providers and other to
check out “ bags” o f books about ani
mals, science, com m unity helpers and
other topics o f special interest to pre
school children. Other materials are
designed fo r the providers themselves,
such as those that contain tips for group
and individual activities for children.
"T h e focus o f the project is on
children,” says G innie Cooper, direc
tor o f libraries fo r M ultnom ah County.
" I t ’ s especially important fo r young
children to gain a sound educational
foundation during those years when
their intelligence grows more rapidly
than at any other tim e.”

Catherine Lynn W inter, bom Oct.
7 at Emanuel Hospital in Portland, has
become the m illio n th Oregon baby
screened for metabolic disorders, ac
cording to Michael Skeels, Oregon
Health D ivision administrator.
The baby, daughter o f Karen and
Michael W inter o f northeast Portland,
w ill be honored at a celebration Oct.
24 in Portland, Skeels said.
Gov. Barbara Roberts has issued a
proclamation recognizing the fact that
Oregon pioneered the technique that
allows fo r early identification o f meta
bolic disorders such as PKU and hypo
thyroidism and for prevention o f the
severe mental and physical disabilities
and death that result when remedial
action is not taken, Skeels said.
He added that when screening
began, PKU was the single major cause
o f retardation among clients institu
tionalized at Fairview State Hospital.
Since screening began in 1961, Skeels
said, not a single child has been sent to
that hospital.
Oregon now provides screening
for Idaho, Nevada and Alaska, but this
celebration recognized one m illio n
babies screened in Oregon alone, he
said.
Dr. Robert Guthrie, who devel
oped the screening process, w ill be
back in Oregon from New York to jo in
the celebration, along w ith a number
o f people who benefited from screen
ing and early diagnosis o f metabolic
disorders such as PKU , hypothyroid
ism and maple sugar urine disease,
which is named for the odor it causes.
Chuck Brokopp, director o f the
State Public Health Laboratory, ex
plained that newborn screening involves
the testing o f all newborns for the pres
ence o f birth defects that are unable to
be identified by routine examination.
W ith in the first week o f life , he said, a
few drops o f blood taken from the
baby’ s heel are soaked onto a special
filte r paper and sent to the state labora
tory. They are then tested for several
biochemical defects and treated in the
firs t weeks o f life , usually through a
special diet. Properly treated, babies
w ith these biochemical problems can
grow and develop norm ally, Brokopp
said.
He said the celebration w ill be at
both the Public Health Laboratory, 1717
SW 10th, and the Ballroom o f the
Smith M emorial Center at Portland
State University from 1:30 to 5 p.m.
Several pioneers in the screening ef
fo rt w ill receive awards, and tours o f
the State Laboratory w ill be available
in the late afternoon.
