A letter to parents Dear Parents: We are thankful for the Early Childhood Education Center being available to us for another year. For our employment and other parent responsibilities, the ECE has helped make this possible. To continue an ECE service as it has in the past, us parents, must become involved with ECE, more than bringing your loving children to ECE and picking them up after work and other parent responsibilities. We have an ECE PARENT CLUB that meets periodically and discuss fund raising ideas and other ECE concerns. We need more parents to become involved. This is necessary for all the children that attend ECE.. For the love of our children we are planning a Valentine's Bake Sale. Watch for flyers on the event and attend our next meeting, January 3 1 , 1996,5:30 p.m. - 6:30 p.m.. Please stay in contact with me by letter or memo on anv concern that you have with the ECE program. My mailing address: P.O. Box 1376, Warm Springs, Or 97761 Thanks and may the Creator keep his hands on us all as we look after our children.

A Louse in the House: Head lice are infesting Oregon's school age children and resisting extinction. Call it the big itch. For whatever reason, Oregon is having a banner year for head lice. ; Not only are cases increasing, but parents say the usual remedies do not always work, prompting talk about a drug-resistant "super-louse." Things are so bad that even Portland School Superintendent Jack Bierwirth found himself looking for ' nits - lice eggs - in his kids hair. , "It's a frustrating problem," Bierwirth said. "Never again will I -even for a second - have the feeling of impatience and want to tell parents, "Just go home and take care of it." There have been 1,500 reported cases of lice this school year in nine Portland metro districts, said Dee Bauer, the director of school health services in Multnomah County. That's an increase from 1,000 during the same period last year and 500 the year before, she said. Elsewhere, infestations are spotty. Bend and the North Clackamas District, for example, report nothing out of the ordinary. But Beaverton has a problem, and so does Eugene. numbers in Sahaptin: i. Overall, said Karen R. Stefonek, a nurse epidemiologist with the Oregon Health Division, the lice problem seems to be getting worse, judging from the calls to her office. Because the division keeps no statistics on it, the evidence is mostly anecdotal, she said. ECE understands that parents experience grief, panic and distress. When they are contacted and notified of their children having been found with Head licenits. The program procedures are as followed: All ECE classrooms do routine head checks on all children on Mondays and Fridays. Head checks may also be done if staff observes a child frequently scratching their scalp or if the child complains of itchiness. As a certified Child Care Preschool Facility, ECE complies with State requirements for the exclusion of children with communicable diseases. Head Lice Nits falls in the category. 1)A child with Head Lice andor nits will be excluded by an ECE program supervisor, pod supervisor, ParentHealth Coordinator or Social Service Coordinator. Parents Guardians will be contacted and expected to pick up their child right away. The exclusion form will be attached to a hand out and given to the parentguardian upon arrival. Children with head licenits will be excluded from ECE until they have received treatment and no evidence of lice or nits in their hair can be found. Children can be readmitted by an ECE program supervisor, pod supervisor, the ParentHealth coordinator or Social Service coordinator. The signed readmittance form should be returned to the child's classroom staff so they know the child has been checked. 2) The second time a child is excluded for Head LiceNits a suspension warning notice will be attached to the exclusion form along with another handout. 3) Each third time a child is excluded for Head LiceNits, within a six (6) month period, a suspension notice will be attached to the exclusion form and a handout A Exercise V: Look carefully in the following Word Search to find as many words as you can.

Families with three Head Lice Nits exclusions will be referred to the Public Health Nurse for support, education and assistance. The Volunteer honored for service On Saturday January 20, retirement dinner was held at Kah-Nee-Ta vacation Resort for Bob Smith, who has served eleven years as a volunteer for the Fire and Safety department in the Warm Springs community. Smith, and his wife Gloria, reside in the Kah-Nec-Ta Hamlets area where he has responded for medical and fire calls many times if not on a daily basis. "The staff at Fire and Safety are sad to see him go because of his dedication to the community and to the department. Things will not be the same without him," says Fire Chief Raneva Dowty.

"In our line of work we don't see too many people like Smith, A person that would just volunteer their time to help others in need is rare indeed," says Dowty. He will be missed a great deal by many.
