Shuttle Brings Area Residents to the Coast
Students Do Better on State Tests
(AP)— Oregon high school sophomores

to travel and see the things that they normally
would due to old age, frailness, poor health
and lack o f transportation.
But there ’ s help, thanks to R. Lee Dean, the
former coordinator o f the Safeway Senior
Shuttle.
Dean was involved in the cooperative ef­
fort this spring and summer to bus seniors to
the Safeway on Martin Luther King Jr. Bou­
le v a rd and R e n a issa n c e G ro c e ry on
Killingsworth.
But on Aug. 15, Dean started shuttling
seniors on other trips, not associated with
Safeway.
Dean transported a group o f seniors to the
Oregon Coast Aquarium in Newport. Some of
them had never been before and others had
not even seen the coast for over three de­
cades.
The trip was co-sponsored by D ean’s
event and meeting planning company. Con­
cepts Unlimited and Bethel AME Church.
Concepts Unlimited reserves charter buses
with bathroom accessibility and which are
accessible for people with disabilities.
Dean said the trips are scheduled monthly

dents were supposed to pass when O regon
approved its school reforms last decade.
The Oregon Department of Education re­
ported that 57 percentof sophomores passed the
math problem-solving test, but also estimated
that just 33 percent of sophomores passed all five
tests.
