Most accidents occuring to children can be prevented scaiDcu every time your emu is in 4 Chemawa notes changes For the past several years Chemawa Indian School has been undergoing a variety of program changes in the instructional and pu pil services areas that are adjusting the school's program to provide ser vices as an alternative school Tor Native American youth that have problems with schools and educa tion programs at home. Chemawa administration and staff have developed and arc using a model that is designed and based on the monitoring of a student's individual bcha vior(s) and or performance with early intcrvcnlion(s) by staff to pro vide the needed services as related to predefined responses depending upon the program, the needs of students and resources available. Development by staff and admin istration of improved procedures in cluding computerized student data networks so that behavior problems, attendance information and grades arc monitored on a more frequent basis to allow interventions and needed actionsservices to make ad justments to occur sooner. The student behavior management program has been redesigned to stress the resolution of student behavior problems by an early intervention problem solving model rather than a punishment model. The academic class schedule has been altered to include a 10 minute break in the morning and afternoon. The daily schedule has been further revised to minimize any interrup tions and keep a consistent pattern on 8 daily basis. Starting this school year (1993 94) students have four 90 minute classes each day. This schedule will allow students to focus on four sub jects and earn four credits each se mester for a total of eight credits a year. Did vou know that every month nearly 400children under 4 years old die in the United Stales because of accidents? Most of these accidents can be prevented. Often, accidents happen because parents arc not aware of what their children can do. Your child is a fast learner, and in "no time at all" that child whocould barely walk orclimb can now jump, run, ride a tricycle and use tools. I Ic is at special risk for injuries from falls, poisons, burns and car accidents. He doesn't un derstand what is dangerous, and he can't remember, "No." FALLS Your child is now able to throw a ball, jump, run, pedal a tricycle and move at lightning speed. I lis abilities arc so great now that he is able to get himself into an endless variety of dangers at home and in the neigh borhood. He will fall off play equipment and bikes, out of windows, down stairs, and off everything he has climbed on. Lock the doors to any dangerous areas. Use gates on stairways and window guards above the first floor. Fence the play yard. . . If your child has a serious fall, call your doctor. BURNS The kitchen can be a dangerous place for your child during meal preparation. If he is under foot, hot liquids, grease, and hot foods spilled on him can cause serious burns. Find something safe for him to do during these dangerous times of the day. Remember that kitchen appliances and other hot surfaces such as irons and wall heaters arc very real dangers to your child long after you have finished using them. If your child docs get burned, put cold water on the burned area im mediately. Then cover the burn loosely wi th a bandage or c lean c loth. Call your doctor for all burns. To protect yourchild from scalds, reduce the temperature of your hot water to 120 F. POISONINGS Your child will be able to open any drawer and climb anywhere his curious mind leads him. He will swallow anything he finds. Use only household products and medicines lhaiarcabsolutcly necessary and keep them safely capped and out of sight and reach. If he docs put something poison ous into his mouth, call your physi cian or the Poison Center immedi ately. Know your Poison Center number, 1-800-452-7165. CAR SAFETY Carcrashes are the biggest danger to your child's life and health. The crushing forces to your child's brain and body in an accident or sudden stop, even at low speeds, are likely to kill or severely injure him. The ONLY way you can prevent these injuries or deaths is to USE a car safety seat and the car. : Do not allow your child to ride his tricycle or play in your street, Driveways are also dangerous. Use a fenced yard or playground. j Attention motorists! Watch out for children! The month of September marks the end of summer and the start of the school year for mostchildrcn. There fore, motorists should use extreme caution when driving near schools, bus slops and routes where children may be present Children generally know how to be safe pedestrians or safe bicyclists, but parents should make sure their children know and understand the rules of traffic safety. Children may dart out from behind obstacles such as bushes or parked cars, neglect to check intersections before crossing or do something unexpectedly. They do not have a fully developed sense of depth-perception and may not re alize how close a vehicle is when they decide to cross. Some interesting pedestrian background information from the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration, Traffic Safety Facts, 1992: 1. Pedestrian fatalities in 1992 were 4 percent lower than in 1991 and 31 percent lower than in 1980. 2. The 5,546 pedestrian fatalities in 1992 are the lowest number re ported since 1975. This represents 14 percent of total fatalities. 5. On average, a pedestrian is killed in a motor vehicle crash every 95 minutes. 4. More than one-third of children between 5 and 9 years old killed in motor vch iclc crashes were pedestri ans. From the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, Facts 1991 Edi tion, 1992: 5. It is estimated that at least 90 percent of children injured en route to or from school were struck at loca tions where no ty pe of spec ial school crossing protection such as safety patrols, adult crossing guards, or police officers was in use. From the National Safety Coun cil: 6. Since 1928, when national sta tistics on pedestrians first became available, pcdcstrianvchiclccrashcs have claimed the lives of a half mil lion pedestrians. Let's make this school year an accident free one. When driving in areas where children arc, use ex treme caution and please adhere to the posted speed limit for that area.

LINC will provide classes in Warm Springs Central Oregon Community College will ask District voters to decide in September whether or not to fund a bond issue to create LINC, the Learning Information Network Center. The $19.5 million bond levy will provide funds for construction of an updated library to meet licensing requirements for the growing popu lation at COCC, remodeling funds to make the old library into 14 classrooms and remodeling of re gional centers to provide telecom munication facilities and equipment. Many rural areas throughout the nation currently have such systems which provide instruction through video presentations. This system prevents the need to drive long dis tances to take a class According to COCC president Dr. Robert Barber, the LINC system in Central Oregon will provide ba sic classes including sciences at the seven regional centers. Eventually upper division classes will be added. The system allows tapping into in struction currently offered by uni versities throughout Oregon. Construction of a new library to meet the needs of students and an increasing enrollment is necessary to maintain accreditation. Seating and available books do not meet standards. The current library was built in 1966, when COCC had an enrollment of 800 students, enroll ment has increased 400 percent' since that time. A modem library also needs to incorporate telecom munications capabilities. Barber explains that the COCC area resi dents "have a right to receive some of the state resources" which othe'r citizens have available.
