Read, read, readi iacras jr, Hiqh school shares news of students' achievements
Research shows there's a simple,
inexpensive solution requiring
just 15 minutes a day!
There is no gimmicks or pro
grams to buy-and you'll love the
way nationally accluimed author
and parent Jim Trclcase explains
the process.
"All you need is parents and
teachers reading terrific books to
kids every day." This serves as a
commercial, Trclcase says, instill
ing a love of books while it im
proves the child's reading, writing,
and listening.
"Kids don't have favorite vow
elsthey have favorite stories.
Who ever found a kid in bed with a
flashlight and workbook?"
Sounds too easy? The National
Commission on Reading declared
"reading aloud to children" is the
single most important factor in
raising a reader.
As he did in his bcstsclling Read
Aloud Handbook, Jim Trclcase
combines personal experiences
and research with a dynamic de

tures each year are booked years

Reading Resolution!
Each year, millions of people
make resolutions for the New
Year. The Center for the Book in
the library of Congress has desig
nated 1991 as the Year of the
Lifetime Reader. Why not cele
brate by resolving to make reading
a priority activity in your home in
1991. Here are some ideas for
resolutions.
I. I will set aside regular times
when the family reads together.
(You can read to younger children
and with youngsters who can read
on their own).
2. 1 will organie regular family
trips to the library and make sure
my children have library cards.
3. 1 will limit my children's tele
vision viewing and encourage read
ing as an alternative activity.
4. I will let my children see me
reading so that they will know I
think reading is important.
5. 1 will visit bookstores with my
family.
6. 1 will read some of the books
my children are reading so that I
will know what they enjoy.
7. 1 will give books or magazine
subscriptions to my children as
birthday or holiday gifts.
8. I will make sure that my
children have access to many
different types of reading materials
in the home-books, magazines,
and newspapers.
9. 1 will help my children create a
special place for their favorite
books.
10. I will talk with my children
about the books they read.

Avoiding the 'system'
If you are an Oregon driver who
has chosen to drive without a
license, you're not only doing
something illegal, but you also face
severe fines and penalties when you
get caught.
At some time just about every
one will get stopped for some
reason. Maybe you'll be stopped
for a minor traffic violation. May
be you'll be in a collision. Maybe
your vehicle's equipment won't
Register children now
for Head Start classes
For those parents or other care
givers living within the boundaries
of the Warm Springs Reservation,
with children of 3 and or 4 years
old: If your child is not presently in
one of the Early Childhood pro
grams; Head Start, Head Start Day
Care, or Tribal Preschool; you
may be interested in how to get
your child into one of these pro
grams. Procedures for getting your
child registered and ready to enter
one of these programs are:
1. Call John Nettleton, Parent
Health Coordinator, at 553-3377
or 3241 and ask to have your
child's name put on the waiting list.
2. Come to the Head Start office,
pick up registration packet, fill out
and return.
3. Schedule a date time with the
I.H.S. clinic to have a physical
taken and immunization record
updated. Return original forms to
the Head Start office.
After these procedures are com-
Rights lectures
offered at COCC
Has our nation gone far enough
in the struggle for civil rights for
all? Or has the nation gone too far?
These questions and more are
being addressed during a civil
rights lecture series being held on
the Central Oregon Community
College campus throughout Janu
ary. The lectures are held Fridays at
noon in Ochoco 104 and speakers
include Orde Pinckney on "Civil
Rights in the United States" on

pleted your child will be under
consideration whenever there is an
opening in any of the programs.
The waiting list does not operate
on a "first come, first serve" basis.
To determine which child shall fill
an opening in one of the programs,
the following criteria are applied in
order:
1. Child meets Head Start in
come eligibility guidelines.
2. Child is handicapped or at
risk.
3. Family hardship or trauma.
4. Child is from a single parent
family.
5. Other
Example: distance from Head

If there are changes in your
family circumstances that effect
any of these criteria, please call
John at 3377 to update your
records. The Head Start Tribal

meet legal requirements.
Whatever the reason, you will
most likely eventually be stopped
on some minor charge. And when
that happens, the police will dis
cover you have been driving un
licensed. Penalties
Under Oregon law, driving un
licensed is classified as a Class B
traffic infraction. This means you
will face a minimum bail of $100,
and may be fined up to $250.
And, under a new Oregon law,
your vehicle will be marked so that
if you drive it again, law enforce
ment officers will continue to stop
and cite you.
Getting caught
When a police officer stops you,
the officer will confiscate your
vehicle's registration, issue a reg
istration cancellation notice effec
tive after 60 days, and place a
black-and-white striped sticker
over each of the validation stickers
on your vehicle's license plates.
You will have 60 days to get
licensed and clear your record.
Although you may drive the vehi
cle for the next 60 days, you will
face the inconvenience of being
stopped by law officers who see the
black-and-white stickers. The law
allows law enforcement officers to
stop marked vehicles at any time.
If you do not get your license
and new stickers, the vehicle's
registration will be canceled on the
61st day and you will be unable to
drive the vehicle until you get a
driver license and pay for a new
registration, in addition to other
penalty fees.
What if the driver Is not the
owner?
If you own the vehicle, and
someone else was caught driving it
unlicensed, the vehicle's registra
tion still will be canceled, and you
will have to pay reinstatement fees
and other penalties. If you suspect
someone who wants to borrow
your car does not have a driver
license, don't take the risk. You
will pay for it.
The 'system' is worth it
The reason for having a system
to license drivers should be ob
viouswith nearly three million
people in Oregon using the roads,
some method needs to exist to
ensure that drivers are qualified to
operate their vehicles and that
drivers have the means to pay for
any damage they may cause.
Licensing drivers is an attempt
to keep Oregon's roads safe foryou
and the people you care about
your family and friends. Unli
censed drivers hurt a system de
signed to protect you and others
who use the roads.
Obey the law. Get your driver
license before you operate a motor
vehicle in Oregon. It will save you
money and trouble, and will help
make Oregon a safer place for
everyone.
