Interviews: an accurate picture of what is happening, (example: ask the same question to several different individuals) Review of Written Materials: a comprehensive overview of each component. Describe specific strategies used by the program to meet each Performance Standard as well as timelines and responsible persons. Review of policies, procedures, forms, etc. Results are recorded on the S AVI form by checking YES or NO (the program is or isn't in compliance) and by commenting on the specifics of that area. Often the local written plan is adjusted to improve the programs ability to comply. By annually reviewing our Head Start Program and including parents, staff and community in the self assessment the continued success of the program is assured. Young Child is a time to focus on the needs of young children and families and to plan how we-as citizens of this community can better meet the needs of all young children and their families. This year's Week of the Young Child will be celebrated locally April 17-23rd. Several Activities are planned: Watch for children's artwork posted throughout the community.

Several public service announcements will be aired on KWSO 9 1 .9 FM about parenting and child development April 27 positive parenting class to focus on "Praise in Traditional Parenting" The next Positive Indian Parenting Class will be "Praise in Traditional Parenting." Praise played an important role in traditional parenting. When a girl made her first basket, it was given to an elder, usually Grandma. The elder would make a big fuss and say "You will one day be a great basket maker! " When a young boy caught his first fish, no matter how small, it was given to an elder who cooked it, ate it and praised the child saying, "You will be a great fisherman someday." By relying on the culture strengths exhibited in the old ways, parenti can begin to be positive parents through the appropriate use of praise. One thing parents can do is increase the number of opportunities to give praise is to set up situations in which the child can please. Children can be given tasks for which the parent knows they will be able to give praise. Remember, even attempts should be praised. Praise should be as specific as possible so the child knows what they did right. This class will be held on Wednesday 42794 from 6-8 pjn. in ECE Building "C". As always.a light meal and child care will be provided. EVERYONE IS WELCOME AND ENCOURAGED TO ATTEND! Quality assurance label ensures lead-free crayons Health officials are warning parents and day care providers that some off-brand crayons made in China could be contaminated with lead. Following a warning issued by the Oregon Health Division, Deschutes County Health Department workers have been notifying local stores about the crayons. "We've been talking to major retailers of crayons in the Bend area to make sure ihey are aware that certain crayons may contain high levels of lead even if they are labeled as nontoxic," said Laura Brown, a registered nurse with the Health Department Crayons may be assumed to be lead-free if their box has the assurance label "ASTM D-4236."

"We're talking mostly about off-brand crayons, the kinds most likely found in discount stores." Brown said some stores in Central Oregon despite warnings from county health department officials, continue to carry crayons that don't have the assurance number and could be contaminated with lead. "There is no law that says these crayons must be pulled from the shelf, so its up to the parents to be vigilant when they purchase them." she said. The health division released a statement last week that said a box of standard-size crayons purchased in Oregon recently were found to contain lead at levels of at least 250 parts per million. "The box for these crayons is labeled 'Made in China' and 'non toxic' but does not have the ASTM D-4236 assurance," said Ken Kauffman, an environmental specialist with the health division. Oregon's investigation was spurred by findings in Arizona, where a box of jumbo crayons made in China was found to contain 800 parts per million lead. "Children's toys, especially the kind that could be eaten by a child, should be zero lead levels," said Kauffman. 'There is no 'acceptable' level for lead contamination. If parents or other persons who supervise children suspect that a youngster has been chewing a crayon that might be toxic, they should make an appointment to have the child tested for lead poisoning at their county health department The tests, which involve the drawing of blood from the child, are free in Deschutes County because the county is involved in a pilot Keith A Pat Baker vs. Corbet!

Damuka Judge, Warn Springs Tribal Court program for lead testing. There is a i charge in Crook and Jefferson ' counties. "It's important that parents with concerns about their child chewing on crayons have their child's lead level tested," said Brown. "Lead poisoning symptoms will build up over time, and often go unnoticed because the signs aren't that dramatic." Lead ingestion causes injury to the brain and nervous system, and long-term effects include learning disabilities, decreased growth, hyperactivity and impaired hearing. If caught early enough, the effects can be limited by eliminating the source of lead. In severe cases, the poisoning is treated with medication. Brown said that no cases of lead poisoning have been reported in Oregon from lead-contaminated crayons. However, in 1993 the health division received reports of 139 children with elevated bloodlead levels. Most of these were traced to ingestion of lead-paint particles from old homes, Kauffman said. "It's unlikely that children using contaminated crayons only for coloring are at risk for elevated lead," Brown added. "But we want to remind parents and others who supervise children to take special care to see that children don ' t put any crayons in their mouths." For additional information about led testing, interested persons may contact the Deschutes County Health Department at 388-6616, the Jefferson County Health Department at 475-4456, and the Crook County Health Department at 447-565. (taken from the Bend Bulletin, written by Keith Fredrickson) What's the difference be tween a parent who hits a child and a parent who doesn't? About ten seconds. Ten seconds. Not much to ask of yourself, if it keeps you from striking out at your child. So, the next time you feel things getting out of hand, don't hit. Count. - Take time out. DON'T take it out on your child. Howlak Tichum Alvin J.
