Poor reading performance, as
early as ihe third grade, is a reliable
predictor of delinquency, early
childbearing, and school dropout. In
Oregon, approximately 25 to 3 0 per
cent of elementary school students
are unready to read or are reading
significantly below their grade lev
els.
According to Kids Count Data
Book, Oregon's school dropout rate
is 27 percent. Oregon is ranked in the
lowest third -- 31st out ot the 50
states and the District of Columbia.
School dropouts are more like
ly to:
• Commit crimes
• Be dependent on welfare
• Become teen parents
• Live in poverty
Parents can:
• Participate in the design and suc
cess of SMART
• Read with their children
• Attend Family Reading Nights
and other school functions
• Contribute ideas and communi
cate concerns

African trip was not enough, Kenny
and his band spent early 1994 opening
for B.B. King throughout Japan.
Kenny emerges as one o f the
few names on the short list of obvi
ous successors to the contemporary
blues crown.
every skill Scouting teaches is important, the
self-confidence, fun, and sense ot accomplish
ment boys get from skill-building activities are
even more important.
By becoming a volunteer, you can play a
vital part in helping our youth develop desirable
qualities of character, develop personal fitness
and instill a sense of self value and pride.
Scouting develops strong values in each
boy. Scouting honors the home, school, and
place of worship as the origins of our youth’s
values.
Scouting's goal is to nurture and extend
these values by emphasizing the Scout Oath and
Law.
Scouting teaches boys basic sell-assurance,
teamwork, and leadership — litc skills they will
take with them well into adulthood. The learn
ing and mastering new skills helps boys realize
their own potential and that builds pride. While
Its great fun!

Hoodoo Moon is Kenny’s fifth
A lligator album. ItF eatures his b lis
tering guitar playing, swampy har
monica solos and smoldering vo
cals, O n the songs “I ’m A Blues
M an” and “Carrying The T orch,”
Kenny acknowledges his Louisiana
roots and the importance of keeping
the blues traditions alive, while
“ D o n ’t fix O u r L o v e ,” “ B ad
M emory,” and “Believe In Your
s e lf ’ are forw ard-thinking, tough
blues with tastes o f funk and the
energy of rock and roll. With Hoodoo
Moon, Kenny Neal emerges as one
o f the purest, m ost original and
emotionally complex bluesmen to
arrive since the man he is usually
compared to: Robert Cray.
Throughout his career, Kenny
has taken the blues where they have
never been before. In 1991, he starred
in the B roadw ay m usical, Mule
Bone, a play written in the 1930s by
Langston Hughes and Zora Neale
Hurston with music added later by
Taj Mahal. For his performance,
Kenny walked away with the The
