October 23,1991...The Portland Obser\er„.Page 3 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.” Regina A.

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.
